Chapter 374: Light of Hope

Liu Cuicui has always listened to her parents since she was a child, she is the eldest daughter in the family, not only to help take care of her younger siblings, but also often to follow her parents to do farm work in the fields. For more than ten years, Liu Cuicui has no complaints about this kind www.biquge.info of life, but this time she decided not to obey her father anymore, and she resolutely said a word from her mouth.

"Daddy, I can't give up my studies, I must go to college!" Liu Cuicui's immature eyes shot a sense of stubbornness and unyielding.

This look shocked the man's heart, he had never seen his eldest daughter show such a look, in his impression Cuicui had always been a good child who would not go against the wishes of his parents, but it was not until this night that he realized that his eldest daughter was not exactly what he thought she was.

The conversation between father and daughter did not continue, and Liu Cuicui returned to the room where she slept with her younger siblings, and she cried silently all night with her yellowed quilt.

The next day, Liu Cuicui went out early in the morning, even before her parents got up. She followed the mountain road that she had walked countless times, to the direction of her former school, an hour later, the misty sky had just brightened, Liu Cuicui looked up and found that a piece of fish belly white appeared in the distant sky, and there was a little golden yellow light under the fish belly white.

It was a sign that the sun was about to rise, and Liu Cuicui's eyes became resolute, and she felt that it was the light of her hope.

After walking more than ten miles of mountain roads, Liu Cuicui finally came to an inconspicuous town, which is actually similar to a simple market, where there are no high-rise buildings and no endless flow of vehicles, at most tricycles and motorcycles.

Liu Cuicui didn't stop for a moment, even when she passed by a vendor selling steamed buns, she still didn't glance in that direction. Although she hadn't eaten all morning and walked so far on the mountain road, her stomach was already rumbling with hunger, but Liu Cuicui knew that she didn't have a penny on her.

When she smelled the fragrance of the buns coming from the steamer, Liu Cuicui couldn't help but swallow her saliva, but she still walked forward quickly with her head down, and no one could tell that this was a very hungry little girl.

It wasn't until the sun rose higher and higher, and it was close to noon, that Liu Cuicui walked to the middle school she attended. It is undeniable that the building of this middle school is the most beautiful in the whole poor town, the tallest school building is a full five floors, the neat walls are covered with white tiles, and the top of the school building is covered with a patch of red glazed tiles. There is a bungalow-like cafeteria next to the building, a three-story faculty dormitory, a basketball court in front of the building, and three cement table tennis tables on each side of the basketball court, and all of these buildings are surrounded by a one-man high fence with an open iron door at the entrance.

Six years ago, when Liu Cuicui was admitted to the town's middle school from her mountainous primary school, she thought she had already entered the city. Because compared with the elementary school in the mountains, which only has a dozen students in total, the middle school in front of me can really be described as magnificent. Liu Cuicui had never seen such a beautiful building, the walls could be so white and clean, the roof tiles that should have been blue-gray turned bright red, and there were more people in the small area of the 'city' than their entire village.

As she learned more and more in school, Liu Cuicui later learned that the outside world was still very vast, and the town she was studying in was just one of hundreds of poor counties in the country.

Since then, Liu Cuicui has studied harder and harder, and she is eager to go to the real city to see, because she knows that once she steps into those real big cities, she will bring dozens of times more shock to herself than when she first came to this town.

Liu Cuicui has already figured out that there is only one way for herself to go out of the mountains to the outside world, and that is to be admitted to a university in the city after graduating from high school. Although the middle school in this impoverished county is not ranked in the province at all, there are still many students who can pass the exam every year, and Liu Cuicui hopes to become one of them through her own efforts.

Standing outside the iron gate of the middle school again, Liu Cuicui's heart was full of emotion, she looked up and saw the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind, this flag once gave her a lot of strength, making her firmly believe that her life will get better and better.

Liu Cuicui took a deep breath, suppressed many emotions in her heart, and walked into the middle school as usual, and walked in the direction of the teaching building where the teachers worked.

Although it is now the summer vacation, and the students in the middle and high schools are basically on vacation, only the sophomore students are still in school, and they have to prepare for the graduating class, so the summer vacation is only about 20 days off.

When approaching the teaching building, Liu Cuicui heard the voice of ancient texts reading aloud from a classroom, "The difficulty of the Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky!

This text is the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's work "Shu Dao Difficult", Liu Cuicui remembered that she only spent a self-study class to memorize this ancient text, but although it was easy to memorize the text, Liu Cuicui at that time could not empathize with Li Bai's state of mind when he wrote this poem. Now that she heard the words 'difficult to go to the sky' again, Liu Cuicui suddenly felt that her idea of going to college in the city seemed to be really more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Liu Cuicui came to the office on the second floor, and she saw the back of the homeroom teacher Wang she was familiar with from a distance, and she couldn't help but have red eyes. Teacher Wang is very aware of Liu Cuicui's family situation, so during the New Year's holidays, he often takes Liu Cuicui to his home for a meal. On the surface, Teacher Wang used the reason to celebrate the festival together, but in fact, Liu Cuicui also knew in her heart that Teacher Wang wanted to help her improve her food, and when she ate, Teacher Wang would keep putting meat and eggs and other things into her bowl like a loving mother.

Teacher Wang once told her that it doesn't matter if she is poor now, as long as she studies hard, she will be able to stay in the city and work in the future when she is admitted to university, and she will live a more prosperous life than Teacher Wang. Liu Cuicui has always believed in this, and she knows that her beloved Teacher Wang will not lie to her.

Liu Cuicui silently walked behind Teacher Wang, she seemed to be busy processing some documents, and did not notice Liu Cuicui's appearance. Liu Cuicui stood silent for a while, and after a long time she spoke, "Teacher Wang." ”
