Chapter 4: A Letter
The letter that my father just said, Ma Xiaodong remembers it too deeply, it was the first love letter he wrote, yes, it was a love letter written by a student who was about to enter the sixth grade of primary school, although he couldn't remember the content of the letter, but the cause and effect of this incident Ma Xiaodong has never forgotten it in his life, even if more than ten years have passed.

The love letter was written to the girl he had always had a crush on, saying that the first love was the most unforgettable, Ma Xiaodong was originally a person who loved the old and had a crush on the girl for more than ten years, even if he got married later, he could remember it occasionally when he dreamed back, maybe it was not the girl who he had not forgotten, but the first love of memory.
The girl's name is Yun Feiyan, she lives in Fushan South Village, one year younger than Ma Xiaodong, the two are classmates, Ma Xiaodong has liked her since she was in elementary school, she is simply a precocious love, and she can't be a precocious love anymore. may also be because he has been squatting in preschool for two years, Ma Xiaodong's mind is the most mature in the class, and he knew early that he liked girls. However, sometimes Ma Xiaodong also wonders if he is too early in love, so he has been squatting in preschool for two years.
At that time, if a boy got closer to a girl, everyone would heckle her, saying that you like her and want to marry her as a wife or something. So most of the first love is shy, and Ma Xiaodong has never dared to get too close to the girl, but he didn't know at that time, and the whole class later knew that he liked Yun Feiyan, or later the classmates revealed it in the WeChat group. Only then did he know that his careful thinking had already been exposed.
This letter was written by Ma Xiaodong after struggling, thinking hard, and planning for a summer vacation, and he didn't muster up the courage to send it out, but he was intercepted by his father, Ma Xiaodong's feeling back then was not much better than now, but I can't remember what it was like at that time, because my mind was completely blank at that time.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, he continued to press the water, and at dinner in the evening, the old mother and the eldest sister came back, and the two of them also went to pick mushrooms today, but unlike Ma Xiaodong, the adults walked farther and entered the deep mountains, and they picked more.
Ma Xiaodong's eldest sister Ma Lihua, 18 years old this year, four years older than Ma Xiaodong, the eldest sister had a good academic performance when she went to school, but her family was too poor at that time, and every time she went to school, she pushed and pushed the tuition fees until she couldn't push it anymore, or she could borrow it from someone or earn it by working as a temporary worker. But the eldest sister is a fierce person, she was okay when she was young, but when she was in the fifth grade when she was older, there was a time when the teacher urged her to be tight, and the eldest sister Ma Lihua was angry and couldn't get on.
This is one of my father's lifelong regrets, and another thing is the eldest sister's marriage, which was when Ma Xiaodong was just in junior high school. My mother Yang Guizhi was sick, and the family had no money for treatment, so my sister married herself off and used the bride price money to cure her mother. As a result, the marriage has not been satisfactory, and later divorced, and the eldest sister Ma Lihua did not remarry until Ma Xiaodong was reborn.
I was reborn in this life, although I can't continue to let my sister go to school, but I can't be so hasty about my eldest sister's marriage. There is also my mother's illness, in fact, I have symptoms now, but I didn't take it seriously, if I took medicine early, I wouldn't be tired and couldn't afford to get sick.
Ma Xiaodong and his mother and sister Ma Lihua were picking mushrooms in the yard, and his father was cooking in the house.
"Stew beans, it's ready in no time. ”
Smelling the fragrance wafting out of the house, Ma Xiaodong remembered that at that time, there was no meat in stewed beans at home, and the meat was so expensive, and he couldn't eat it several times a year.
Usually stewed beans are made of meat oil, that is, the oil baked down from the fat of the pig, and some lard residue will be left in the oil, and when stewed vegetables, even if it is meat, even if it is such a dish, it is not often eaten, and what is usually eaten is the materials grown at home or the wild vegetables picked in the mountains.
After the family finished dinner in the evening, they sat on the kang and watched TV, the TV was a 14-inch black-and-white TV, and Ma Xiaodong didn't remember what brand. I only know that if there is no accident with this TV, it will accompany my family for three years, and I know that after three years, my family will be replaced with a 21-inch color TV.
While watching TV and the family talking, Ma Xiaodong was glad that his father didn't tell him about his troubles, otherwise he didn't know if he would have the courage to continue sleeping in this house.
"Hong Guo, Xiaodong will start school tomorrow, and the mushrooms picked two days ago are also dried, you will go to the town tomorrow to sell them, and make up the children's tuition." Mother Yang Guizhi watched an episode of the TV series and explained to Ma Hongguo next to her. Ma Xiaodong's conditions for going to school at this time are much better, at least there is no problem with making up the tuition, if a few years ago, you just had more mushrooms, and you couldn't sell them, everyone was as poor, who would buy your mushrooms.
Ma Hongguo hesitated for a moment, this kind of thing of showing up to do small business, he felt a little embarrassed, but this is for the child's tuition, no matter how embarrassing he is, he has to go, it is better than borrowing money to see people's faces, so he nodded and responded.
Seeing his father's embarrassment, Ma Xiaodong knew in his heart, in this backward small village, although most people are very poor, they still feel that it is a disgraceful thing to do small business, in the past, the mushrooms were sold by the hawkers in the countryside to collect, this time if it wasn't for his own tuition, his father would never leave his son to sell in the town.
Looking at the newspaper pasted on the wall at home, the cabinet made by several parents when they got married, this home can be said to be a family with four walls, although I want to work again in this life, but I can't look at the poor people in the family can't open the pot, but turn a blind eye, it seems that I have to find a way to make some money. Besides, my mother's illness now needs money to buy medicine and treat it early, and the family's house is no longer good, besides, I can't let my parents continue to work so hard in this life.
But how to make this money? Ma Xiaodong has no clue for a while, Ma Xiaodong has also read online novels in his previous life, he has been exposed to various types, and even wrote it himself, but Ma Xiaodong, who did not graduate from high school, wrote something that of course no one reads, there are few recommendations, there is basically no reward, let alone think about it, there is little support, there is no motivation, and it really takes perseverance and patience to write this thing, so he will naturally become a eunuch.
I remember that people who are reborn in online novels generally write songs or novels to earn the first pot of gold, and you don't have to think about novels, although you have read a lot, but you have forgotten that you have read a few books, even if you remember the general plot, but with your own writing, how can anyone read what you write?
Speaking of writing songs, a rural elementary school student who doesn't even have a radio at home writes songs? Isn't it too attention-grabbing? Although the country may not have a dragon group, don't treat the Great Celestial Empire as if there is no FBI.
Even if the country doesn't like to take care of itself, Ma Xiaodong has no idea of mixing in the entertainment industry, and when he enters the entertainment era in the future, he may make some investments with the opportunity of foresight, but if he comes to the forefront, he is stared at by reporters every day, and raising Xiaomi is like being a thief, it is absolutely not okay, and it is completely contrary to his will to be chic.
Think about those celebrities in later generations, who suck D at home, how secret it must be? This can make people discover, the power of the people and the masses is great, if you underestimate how you died, you don't know.
And in that place in the entertainment industry, Ma Xiaodong feels that with his IQ, it is estimated that he has to count the money if he is sold, and his other advantages may not be obvious, but this self-knowledge is still there.
