Finally, all the crops in the field were taken back, the potatoes were put into the cellar, and it was time for Shandan to go to school, which was a few days late, and his mother urged him several times.

Shandan insisted on going to tutoring after harvesting the crops, and she wanted to put herself to death and survive.

Shandan packed his luggage and books, packed a big bag, and took the shuttle bus to the town.

She first came to the Chinese teaching and research department to find the teacher Gao who teaches Chinese to return the book, after the examination and vacation, teacher Gao borrowed three famous books "Red and Black", "Jane Eyre", "Dream of Red Mansions" to Shandan to read, she has always been sure that Shandan will be admitted to the university, with her wisdom and her efforts, with Shandan grasp of the language and the richness of the heart, should read the world classics to broaden their horizons.

Facing Mr. Gao, Shandan was embarrassed. Tears flowed down involuntarily, and Mr. Gao couldn't help but wet his eyes with tears. She has witnessed Shandan's hard work and excellent grades in the past two years, and she has also heard the reason why Shandan's Chinese language test did not do well. She has always admired and loved this somewhat stubborn and hard-working child.

Teacher Gao said: "I always thought that you would not have problems with your Chinese, but I didn't expect that it was precisely because the Chinese was disturbed and you didn't do well in the exam. This is also your first time taking the college entrance examination with no experience. But it doesn't matter, depending on your level, the focus of next year must be you! ”

Shandan nodded vigorously and left the office as if fleeing. She can't stand that everyone thinks that her failure is an objective reason, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with her, and there is no fault of her. They were all so careful to take care of her dignity, to care for her pitiful self-esteem. How she wished that someone would accuse her, or someone would scold her, or ignore her, so that she would feel better, but everyone treated her with an attitude of pity and sympathy, which put even greater pressure on her.

Do you want to sign up or find a place to live?

She was listless and confused and slowly walked on the boulevard of the poplar trees that had made her high-spirited, and Aixia came to meet her, and Aixia also came to tutor, she said that she had been looking for Shandan for a few days.

She said, "I thought you weren't coming to tutoring, so I had to go to your house and invite you, just like you did when you came to my house and asked me to come back to study." ”

It was Aixia's sophomore year of high school and dropped out of school because her family couldn't afford dozens of yuan in tuition, Shandan organized the whole class to donate dozens of yuan, and went to Aixia's house with a few classmates to persuade Aixia's parents and let Aixia return to class.

Aixia is a very hardworking child, but her talent is not high, and she relies on her hard-earned scores. But since then she has been on the hard road of supporting herself.

Every summer, Aixia rides a rotten bicycle to sell popsicles and ice cream, or sell vegetables. In this way, you can earn a year's worth of tuition, fees, accommodation, and so on. Sometimes I piggyback on the expenses of my younger siblings.

Shandan went to sell vegetables with Aixia for the first time during the summer vacation, and knew how Aixia suffered.

Aixia's home is more than ten miles away from the town, Aixia goes home every week to get dry food from home to school, although the school students can buy a steamed bun for eight cents if they bring their own flour, but in order to save money, she would rather eat the sometimes dry, sometimes rancid steamed bun she brought than reluctant to buy a fresh steamed bun to eat.

How much suffering Aixia has suffered, Shandan sees it in his eyes. But Aixia didn't complain at all, she was full of gratitude and contentment for herself that she could still sit in the classroom and study, she was happy all day long, and Shandan was very envious of her optimism.

Shandan smiled: "Then won't you return my favor? ”

Aixia smiled and took the luggage in Shandan's hand, and went to the south room that they rented in the summer vacation, which was only less than ten square meters.

Shandan asked Aixia: "Did you still read it to you?" didn't he say he wouldn't give you tutoring?"

Aixia said: "They didn't want to tutor me anymore, but I personally earned money to pay tuition and rent, and I didn't want their money, so they didn't force me." But they said they would give me a year of tutoring. Looks like I'm going to have to work hard this year, you have to help me!"

"If you don't tutor, you will find you a son-in-law right away, and ask for a large dowry, won't your younger brothers and sisters be able to sit back and relax?" Shandan teased Aixia.

Aixia rolled her eyes and squeaked Shandan, and Shandan immediately begged for mercy, "Don't dare, don't dare! I'll find it again next year!" Aixia's hand that had just been put down reached out again......

The two tidied up their rooms and books and prepared to sign up.

Aixia hopes to be assigned to the same class as Shandan, and she hopes that Shandan can usually help her with the topics of various subjects, which is naturally not a problem.

After paying 86 yuan for tuition and 50 yuan for materials, it cost 136 yuan, and the money they earned during the summer vacation was enough to cover a year's expenses.

Renting a house for 15 yuan a month, 7.5 yuan for two people, and buying a little vegetables, it doesn't cost you money to take potatoes and white noodles by yourself, and the cost of a semester is 300 yuan.

The 300 yuan that his mother gave to Shandan seemed to be more than enough.

The weather is getting colder, and the warmth of the south house has become a problem, and the owner has given them a pair of charcoal stoves, and there is no stove but a stove, what should I do?

I had to ask the proprietor to put the smoke outlet of the stove into the kang hole, so that it not only heated the kang, but also roasted the house.

There was also a girl from the liberal arts department of Shandan in the same village who wanted to live with them, and Shandan asked Aixia's opinion, and Aixia agreed: "In this way, we will have less expenses, and one more person will be warm." ”

So, the three of them began to live an ascetic life again.

The three of them took turns cooking and cleaning, Shandan ordered a duty table on the wall, and all three of them consciously completed their tasks and got along well.

In charge of the cram school is Mr. Zheng, who teaches physics at Shandan High School, and has become the director of academic affairs. He once said that if the sixth class can be admitted to the university, it depends on Shandan, and now he wants to say hello to Teacher Zheng, Shandan is a little embarrassed, so many teachers have high hopes for her.

Shandan said that he hoped to be assigned to a cram school with Aixia, and Mr. Zheng agreed.

Teacher Zheng also enlightened Shandan: "The road of life is very long, this bumpy point is nothing, just continue to take the exam to a good school next year." Don't let up!"

Shandan's heart was full of emotion, and tears almost burst out of his eyes again. What a wonderful teacher - they still love her as always!
