XLIX. Volcanic eruptions

I heard that the college entrance examination scores came down, and the family gathered again to wait for Shandan and Mao Dan'er to come back, and they all thought that these two dolls would definitely be admitted to college this year.

The second baby also raised a big bullock in captivity to prepare for the gods, Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve night, when receiving the gods and fires, the second baby made a promise: if the hairy egg is the title of this year's gold list, the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 will take a bullock to the gods! Thank the gods for protecting the doll to pass the college entrance examination.

Looking at the indifferent expressions of the two, Shandan's mother felt a stir in her heart—— this doll can't withstand the blow of defeat anymore! God! You have pity on my baby!

Everyone didn't dare to ask directly, Erwa just said: "What is the score of this year? Is it higher or lower than last year?"

Mao Dan'er said: "It's generally low, but I'm still the same! 451 points! Not even as good as last year!"

The second baby was immediately happy: "Then with your score last year, it will be considered high this year?

Mao Dan'er looked at her father's elated appearance, and couldn't bear to arouse his interest, so she didn't say anything more.

Tie Dan'er's mother didn't dare to ask her daughter, so she asked Mao Dan'er softly: "What about your sister?"

"493 points!"

"Do you get a score of 493?" asked Tie Dan'er's mother eagerly, her voice raising an octave.

"First place in the whole flag, you say you can't get in?!" Mao Dan'er said angrily.

"First place?!" Iron Egg's mother danced happily.

"I've been admitted!I've been admitted!!!," she looked at everyone's surprised gaze, but Shandan was crying.

Shandan cried very sadly!

Tiedan'er's mother didn't understand why her daughter cried after being admitted?

Mao Dan'er licked her chapped lips and said, "Because she applied for orientation students in the district, no matter how high the test is, it is useless, and the scores are wasted!"

Everyone couldn't understand what he was saying, and they muttered to each other, "Orientation in the district? Isn't that also a university?"

After everyone reacted, they unanimously agreed: "It's good to be admitted, and it doesn't matter if it's in and out of the district! It's good if it's a university! Doesn't that mean that 'a white cat and a black cat are good cats when they catch mice'? What kind of university is not a university?"

Shandan felt deeply inferior in his heart for their backwardness and ignorance! Uneducated people have no ideals and pursuits, so what do you mean by "what university is not a university"? Can the Inner Mongolia Medical College compare with Xi'an Jiaotong University? Alas! This group of illiterate!

After crying, looking at the family's cherishing eyes, Shandan wiped his tears and burst into laughter.

Everyone was stunned, this doll is stupid, wow?

Shandan said, "I'm admitted! ”

Only Mao Dan'er understands the bitterness in her heart.

When the mother saw her daughter smile, the stone floating in her heart fell to the ground again.

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, although she doesn't know the specific pain of Shandan, she knows her daughter's competitive heart, her stubbornness and perseverance since childhood.

This time, it must be the girl who has made compromises again. But she also knew that her daughter had crossed this hurdle.

She took out the pickled pork during the New Year, usually reluctant to eat, and took out the dumplings during the holidays, today she is happy, the girl finally has the title of the gold list, or the top student in the college entrance examination in the flag, today I want to delay the work in the field for a day, and I want to celebrate it.

The second daughter-in-law, Xifeng, also brought a canned bottle of marinated meat, and everyone made dumplings together.

Shandan's grandmother and uncles also heard that Shandan was admitted to university, and several uncles walked several miles to visit Shandan.

Grandma Shandan didn't stop her, she thought to herself, there must be a lot of people to congratulate Shandan after being admitted, and it also caused a lot of trouble to Shandan's mother, so the brothers should not make trouble at this time.

Shandan's mother was very happy to see her younger brothers coming, she was very moved in her heart, every time she encountered difficulties, the brothers were rushing to the front to help, her mother's family was poor, but as long as there was a place to contribute, as long as the mother gave an order, the younger brothers were obliged to help.

Although Tie Dan Erda is also grateful for the help of these wives and brothers, when faced with these poor people, the family has five wives and brothers who are too poor to eat, and they look down on them in their hearts.

Now, his daughter has been admitted to college again, and she looks down on these people even more.

Although he didn't show anything on his face, he was very disgusted in his heart, so he didn't show enthusiasm.

After everyone dispersed, the more Tie Dan'er mother thought about it, the more angry she became.

She wants to reason with him!"What are you doing with a straight face today? You conscienceless person! When was it not my brothers who helped you when the high stool was short? Did my brothers build your house, the iron egg house? When I was so sick that I couldn't get out of bed that year, and I couldn't get it back after crying during the autumn harvest, did my brothers put down their crops and help you take them back? You are sick this year, did my mother specially raise a dairy goat for you to milk and drink every day? Or would your illness get better so quickly?"

She couldn't help crying, but she couldn't stop counting: "Your relatives are all over the village! When you needed help the most, which one helped you? Even if one of them helped you?"

Although my grandmother raised ten children, she still regarded him as her own child, and every time she encountered ups and downs, her old man asked the children to help.

Tie Dan'er's mother has been unable to bear it for several years, because she has just married her daughter-in-law, Tie Dan'er is big and sick, and Shandan wants to take the college entrance examination, and she has endured it again and again.

Every time she took a little bit of something to visit her parents, Tie Dan'er was mostly unhappy, and every time her mother's family came, Tie Dan'er put on a lukewarm face.

She lives desperately, although her mother's family is poor, but she has never dragged herself down, it is right to visit the old man during the New Year's holiday, take one or two catties of vegetable oil, three or five catties of meat, and buy a little sugar, tobacco and alcohol, but also to win glory on his face?

Today, the daughter-in-law has given birth to a child, Shandan has been admitted to university, and most of Tie Dan'er's illness has been cured, and she has to sort out the accounts of the past few years.

Tie Dan'er was really angry when she looked at her mother, and she was very anxious. He advised his mother: "I'm such a big person, I can't say a good thing, but it's good if he doesn't speak, and if he does, he may annoy people, so what do you care about him? Besides, Shandan has just been admitted to university, so you are noisy and don't make people laugh?"

Tie Dan'er's mother said angrily: "I have put up with him for a long time! I have been putting up with him for the sake of his illness for the past few years! How can he understand the goodness of people? Do you see if he is kicking his nose more and more in the face?"

Tie Dan'er squatted on the ground and didn't say a word. He has also been very upset because of his illness in the past few years, how can he think a lot, but in fact, he didn't deliberately snub anyone.

Shandan didn't get involved, she gave her brother a look to stop him from persuading his mother to get angry.

She knew that the pressure her mother had been under over the years was too great, and every time she had ups and downs and difficulties, her mother had picked them up with her thin shoulders. She needs to vent once, even if it is a flash flood this time, let her vent to her heart's content. The mother is reasonable, and her words are reasonable, which may also give the father some encouragement.

Tie Dan'er's mother began to rummage through the old accounts: "Since I married into your family, tell me what blessings I have enjoyed? I am pregnant with Tie Dan'er, you kill sheep and eat them all secretly at night, and when I find out, I will send a bone over, I will not see the meat into the wolf's mouth if I can't see it! I didn't make trouble, I know that people eat everyone's sheep, and it is a favor for me to eat, and it is my duty not to give it to eat." But you don't want to think about the iron eggs! He's your son, your grandson, isn't he? I've eaten the meat that looks like an iron egg! But you've never said a word. ”

Shandan quietly listened to his mother's painful history, "Tie Dan'er was born, you are sick again, you can't do anything, have I supported this family alone for so many years? I have no food or clothing, I want to try my best to solve it, you are a man, what have you done? Oh, you are sick, you are sick, you are not sick with your mouth, wow? Have you asked me if I am tired?"

Tie Dan'er's big face gradually became guilty, and Tie Dan'er's mother continued: "Why are you so reasonable? So take it for granted? You figure it out: I don't owe you! My brothers don't owe you even more! You treat you as a human being for us in vain! My mother is sixty or seventy years old and fed you a dairy goat to milk you every day, why don't you be grateful? You are too selfish? Wow, you don't feel sorry for them, you don't feel sorry for me, you also have to feel sorry for your dolls!"

Tie Dan'er's mother took a break, drank some water, and started the next round of accusations: "Do you know why Shandan didn't go to a key university? Do you know why Tie Dan'er doesn't study and farm? Do you know? You hard-hearted! A person with no conscience!"

Tie Dan'er's mother finally burst into tears.

Tie Dan'er stood up and said, "I know, I know, I know your hard work for so many years, I also know the help of my brothers, I also know my mother's care for me, and I also know that I can't stand you! But do you know how bitter I am in my heart? Sometimes I want to die headlonging, so I don't have to burden you." But I'm not reconciled, I want to live a good life and take care of my body to repay you! When you and I get old, I have to carry water for you, collect dung, burn fire, and make charcoal!"

Shandan and Tie Dan'er were shocked - this is the love of their parents!

They don't have sweet words, they don't even communicate, they have hand in hand in the midst of suffering, sharing weal and woe.
