The heavy snow stopped yesterday afternoon, and the sun was shining early this morning, and the snow was dripping from the eaves of the 'Educated Youth Hostel', and the snow on the road had already been shoveled into a large snowdrift by the sanitation workers.

Seven or eight teachers laughed and took twenty or thirty children, and after eating, they left the hostel early and went to Tonggu No. 1 Elementary School to participate in the competition. The children in the mountains are shy, many of them are coming to the county for the first time, and they are looking around quietly while carrying various schoolbags, even Li Jiaming, who is carrying an old schoolbag and a big bag.

Only Liu Shasha, a little girl in the mountains who looked like a little girl in a big city, carried a beautiful 'flower fairy' red schoolbag, proudly looked up with a little face as beautiful as a schoolbag, and held Teacher Liu's hand and jumped, attracting the applause of many passers-by.

Tonggu County No. 1 Primary School is not far from the 'Educated Youth Hostel' where Li Jiaming and his family live, which is a 42-year-old primary school, and his second uncle worked as a mason on the construction site of this school. Tonggu No. 2 Middle School is opposite a small school, so before Li Jiaming came, he went to ask the aunt if she wanted to help Da Yan and Er Yan bring something.

When the group came to a place not far from the gate of Tonggu No. 1 Primary School, Li Jiaming's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw that the second uncle was wearing dirty overalls and liberation shoes, his hair was not only dirty but also unkempt, and he was unloading cement from the truck with several workers.

"Second uncle", Li Jiaming said to Mr. Wang, and immediately rushed to the second uncle who was carrying the cement bag into the cart.

"Jiaming?"

The second uncle, who was carrying two bags of cement and was dirty, looked up and saw that it was his little nephew, with a loving smile on his face, and hurriedly waved his hand to prevent him from coming.

"Don't come here, this is too pickled, the second uncle will come over when he puts it away. ”

"Hey", Li Jiaming hurriedly stopped, stood on the side of the road not far from the truck, and looked at the second uncle with a smile.

This child, the second uncle laughed secretly, said hello to the worker, grabbed the snow on the snowdrift on the roadside, wiped his calloused big hands, and walked quickly to the little nephew who was fighting for the family.

The second uncle walked a few steps, squatted down and rubbed his head, and laughed loudly: "Jiaming, how about giving the second uncle a full score this time?"

"Hey, hey, hey", Li Jiaming took out a pastry from his schoolbag, quickly peeled it off and stuffed it into the second uncle's mouth, so that he didn't even have time to stop it.

"Second uncle, this is a big brother's gift, you taste it, it must be delicious!"

The boy was sure that he was reluctant to eat it himself, and was going to keep it for his sister to eat. The second uncle's heart warmed, and his rough big hand touched Li Jiaming's cold little face, swallowed the delicious pastries in his mouth in a few bites, and said lovingly: "Well, it's delicious! When the second uncle goes home, I will buy it for you." ”

"Hey, hey, hey", Li Jiaming hurriedly untied the big package on his back and handed it to the second uncle.

"Second uncle, this is the clothes that the second aunt asked me to bring you, there are newly made cotton clothes and insoles, the second aunt said that it is cold, and the insoles should be changed every day......"

"Mmmm, you have a letter from Ye Ye (Dad), he has found a good job and can earn ...... a month."

The second uncle smiled and waited for Li Jiaming to finish speaking, and then told him about his father. In the middle of speaking, he suddenly saw Mr. Wang come over with a smile, and stretched out his hand to himself from afar, the second uncle quickly stood up, untied the dirty overalls, and wiped his hand on the slightly cleaner clothes a few times before catching up, shook hands with Mr. Wang's outstretched hand, and said gratefully: "Mr. Wang, our family has bothered you." ”

"You're polite, you're polite", Mr. Wang didn't dislike the second uncle's hands were still a little dirty, and held his hand tightly and said to Li Jiaming: "Jiaming, your second uncle is here, do you have the confidence to get a full score again?"

"Hey, hey, hey", who dares to agree to this, Li Jiaming smirked again.

The second uncle glared at him angrily, and Li Jiaming hurriedly agreed: "Teacher Wang, I will do my best, I will do my best!"

"That's okay, Lao Li, you get busy first. It's getting late, we have to go to the exam room. ”

"You go slowly, you go slowly. Jiaming, when the exam is over, come to the second uncle, your letter is still with me."

The second uncle hurriedly let go of Teacher Wang's warm hand and watched him and Li Jiaming walk towards the school gate, then straightened his chest and continued to work.

"Chuanmin, this is also your own nephew? is it the son of that carpenter Li?"

"Well, my third son, this time I am here to participate in the county's fifth-grade math competition", the second uncle proudly glanced at Li Jiaming, who disappeared from the school gate, and replied to the worker standing in the truck compartment.

A few workers who saw Li Jiaming stuffing things into the second uncle's mouth just now also looked at a small school gate, and then looked at the second middle school opposite, and said with a smile: "This guy wants it!"

"Well, I can read and have a conscience, much better than your two nephews who are in the second middle school, and comparable to your fourth nephew. ”

Li Chuanmin showed a proud smile on his face and said proudly: "Hehehehe, how can this be compared? My nephew is also a genius, and in the future, he will be like our family, and he will be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University." Just now, their teacher asked him to promise in front of me that he must get a full score in this competition. Tsk, don't be blushing, my father-in-law, yes, the grave is well buried!"

If others said this, the workers would laugh and coax, but when the second uncle said this, they all showed envy.

Li Jiaming's genius fourth brother won the first place every time he came to the county to participate in the competition, and every time he would come to the construction site to see the second uncle and help the second aunt send him something. Although the fourth brother doesn't like to talk very much, standing in front of the second uncle, who is dirty all the year round, smiling and affectionately calling him 'second uncle', has made these workers envious, and even the contractor looks at the second uncle differently.

However, the eldest and second uncles who were studying opposite each other would reluctantly call people embarrassed when they bumped into the second uncle, and there was unconcealed contempt in their eyes, which also made the workers often joke about the second uncle: saying that the nephew is not as good as the son, and the son is not as good as the daughter. He has four daughters who are much better than his four promising sons, and each of them will give him a chicken every New Year's Day, which will be enough for him to eat for a few months. Now this little nephew who met for the first time, although he is not as steady and precocious as that genius, he has a conscience at a young age, and he still remembers this second uncle with some delicious things.

It's good to be able to read, but it's even better to have a conscience, Lao Li has two nephews who have a conscience and can read, and he will be blessed in the future!

The workers joked for a while and continued to work hard. The teachers' dormitory was finally completed. Then help the school general affairs office to unload the cement used by the teachers to decorate the house, even if everyone has done all the work, they can go to the boss to receive their salaries, and prepare to go home early for the New Year.

Isn't it just to make money and have a good year when you go home?
