Chapter 2: Multiple choice questions plague small farmers and make big bets on their dreams
Bai Jieyu was successfully admitted to Beijing University, although it is not as good as Peking University and Tsinghua University, but it is also among the first-class in the country. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 For this reason, Bai Lao Er, who is the head of the village, of course, has to hold a banquet to celebrate the prosperity of the village's education circle.
Liu Xiaole looked at the white second family with colorful lights and joy, and a special feeling emerged in his heart, whether it was envy, jealousy, or reluctance, Liu Xiaole couldn't say.
At night, Liu Xiaole quietly pushed open the door, the thief poked his head out, and after confirming that there was no danger, he walked on tiptoe like his own bedroom, and when he passed by his mother's bedroom, he found that his mother was not sleeping. Liu's mother doesn't look at living in the countryside, but she still pays great attention to health preservation, and her life is very regular, and she usually goes to bed at this time.
Liu Xiaole stopped, and through the crack in the door, he saw his mother holding his father's portrait, choking up. Liu Xiaole wanted to leave, but he turned his head and came back, took a long breath, pushed open the door hard, and said, "Mom, I'm back." ”
Mother Liu didn't speak, still choked and wiped the portrait.
Liu Xiaole saw that his mother didn't take advantage of the stubble, so he simply sat on the kang and said, "Mom, don't be angry, it's all wrong to blame your son." ”
Mother Liu wiped her tears and said angrily: "Do you still know that you are angry? ”
Seeing that his mother was relieved, Liu Xiaole's heart relaxed, took his father's portrait and said, "Mom, how many years have it been, or you are looking for a wife." ”
Liu's mother said: "Phew, who is as heartless as you." ”
Liu Xiaole shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, I don't have the heart or lungs." ”
Mother Liu said earnestly: "Your mother has not remarried for so many years, just for you, I am afraid that you will be wronged, you are all the hope of your mother, and your mother hopes that you will get ahead." ”
Hearing this, Liu Xiaole didn't speak, Liu Xiaole knew that his mother was telling the truth, his mother was afraid that he would be wronged, although the conditions were not good, but for so many years, his mother had saved money to create conditions for herself, hoping that he would be able to get ahead one day, and she didn't want him to live in the countryside for the rest of her life.
Liu Xiaole didn't speak, and his mother said: "Mom knows, you are a sensible child, you are in a hurry to make money, you don't want to cause too much burden to your mother, and I hope to let my mother enjoy happiness earlier, but have you ever thought about it, you have no culture and no ability, even if you go out to make money now, what can you do?" And how much money can you make? You can't stand. ”
Liu Xiaole said: "Mom, I know, I'll go, I'll repeat, I'll definitely give you a face." ”
Hearing that, Mother Liu's face finally smiled, "That's right, our family Xiaole is the most sensible." ”
Liu's mother continued: "Look at Erni, she will leave in two months, how good, Beijing University, maybe I will be able to stay in Beijing in the future, hey, how good it would be if I could have such a girl." ”
I heard Liu Xiaole patting her chest and saying, "Old lady, you are worried, she can't be your daughter-in-law, I will let her be your daughter-in-law." ”
Mother Liu sighed and said: "Hey, if I can have such a daughter-in-law, it can be regarded as a blessing from my previous life, but with your virtue, you still marry someone else, dream, you can give your mother a realistic look, review well and be admitted to a university, and our ancestral grave will burn high incense."
Liu Xiaole said unhappily: "Why am I not as good as her, you see, I have to marry her." ”
"Come on, you just study hard for your mother, don't dream," Liu's mother impatiently blasted Liu Xiaole out of the house like a fly.
Although Liu Xiaole was depressed, his words were not rough, and after thinking about it carefully, he stretched his waist, opened the lotus seeds, and threw himself on the bed.
Liu Xiaole had insomnia this night, this was the first insomnia in his life, his mother's sustenance, his dreams, how to choose, Liu Xiaole was uncertain. If you don't repeat it, you go out and wander, there is too much unknowability, and between the scales of success and failure, perhaps the weight of failure is much greater than the side of success.
If you go to repeat your studies, you will be lucky enough to be admitted to college, and after graduation, you will be with those simple-minded, pen equations, and open-mouthed college students who have so-called dreams all day long, enter and exit the talent market, submit overwhelming resumes, and finally, earn a meager salary, become a car slave, a house slave, and they are too unwilling.
There is a give-and-take, there is a give-and-take, is it a desperate gamble, a successful life, or a step-by-step car slave, house slave. This multiple-choice question has been swirling in Liu Xiaole's mind.
After half a night of ideological struggle, Liu Xiaole opened his eyes violently and shouted: "Go to his sister's university, go to his sister's repetition, Lao Tzu wants to go his own way." ”
Within a month, Bai Lao's second family can be described as a crowd, and there are waves of congratulations, of course, there are many old ladies who are pimped in a neighboring village.
The countryside is like this, the social circle is small, unlike the current city, the neighbors of a few years can't mix a familiar face, not to mention that the distant relatives are not as good as the neighbors, plus the customs in the village are simple, the villagers like to join in the fun, and the feast of Bai Laoer's family lasted for nearly a month.
The reeds are swinging, Liu Xiaole is lying on the blanket spread with reeds, Bai Jieyu is lying next to Liu Xiaole, and the two of them are looking at the sky.
Bai Jieyu said: "Xiaole, I'm leaving tomorrow." ”
Liu Xiaole hummed and replied.
Bai Jieyu continued: "A little reluctant. ”
"What's the reluctance, it's not like it's gone." Liu Xiaole said.
Bai Jieyu sighed and said, "I was born here, except for the county seat, I have basically never been anywhere, let alone left home, this time I walked so far, I feel a little uncomfortable." ”
"Good man, oh no, it's a good woman who has ambitions in all directions, why do you nest from here, it's too late to go out and everyone envy you," Liu Xiaole said.
Bai Jieyu sighed and said, "Maybe you can understand when you go out in the future." ”
Bai Jieyu continued: "I'll leave tomorrow, don't you want to say something to me?" ”
Liu Xiaole squinted her eyes and didn't speak, Bai Jieyu saw that Liu Xiaole didn't react, turned over and looked at Liu Xiaole and said, "Don't you have any nostalgia, we have been playing since we were children, don't you want to say anything to me at all?" ”
Liu Xiaole frowned, it was not that he didn't want to say it, but he really didn't know what to say, seeing that Liu Xiaole didn't speak, Bai Jieyu blushed and said, "Xiaole, do you like me~!" ”
Hearing that Liu Xiaole was excited, he frowned and said, "Why did you suddenly ask this question?" ”
Bai Jieyu pouted and said, "You just say, do you like it or not." ”
Liu Xiaole pondered for a while, wanted to speak and stopped, but finally did not answer.
Although he told Liu's mother that he wanted to marry Bai Jieyu, he also stayed at talking. It's to take 10,000 steps back and say, what can you do if you have that thief's heart? Although Liu Xiaole is cynical, he is still very wise, he knows that the level difference between the two is too far, and once Bai Jieyu goes out, she will know the world anew, and the final result must be her own wishful thinking.
Bai Jieyu said unhappily: "Liu Xiaole, what's the matter with you, don't send it to the door~!" ”
Hearing Liu Xiaole smile bitterly, he secretly said in his heart, my sister is no, I have to ask for it, just dream, the reality is better than anyone else, and the time will save each other to hurt each other.
Seeing that Liu Xiaole didn't react, Bai Jieyu snorted, got up and threw out a sentence: "I wish you a smooth repetition next year." And he departed in anger.
Bai Jieyu's sudden confession strengthened Liu Xiaole's determination to go out to make money. He clearly understands that if you want to make your wishes come true, you must first have your own strength, otherwise, your childhood sweetheart today may become someone else's crotch lamb tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaole got up, patted the soil on his body, and walked towards home in a leisurely manner.
Following
Liu Xiaole was woken up by the deafening sound of firecrackers, put on his pants and pushed the door open, and the villagers on the road in the distance crowded around the Songhua River.
"It's broken, I forgot that today is Bai Jieyu's day of school." Liu Xiaole didn't think much about it, quickly put on his slippers and rushed towards the crowd, but when Liu Xiaole approached the crowd, the Songhua River had already opened out of the village.
Liu Xiaole looked at the Songhua River that was gradually moving away, and a trace of loss appeared in his heart.
Just when Liu Xiaole was stunned, Dacheng's honest voice came from his ears: "Xiaole, why are you going, Erni and the others have been waiting for a long time, I guess I am waiting for you." ”
Liu Xiaole didn't speak, just turned around and went home.
On the road, Liu Xiaole lowered his head, kicked the gravel on the road from time to time, and kept asking again in his heart, "Did you grow up?" Why would my friend be so reluctant to leave him, he was only 19 years old, don't be funny, is it ~~~. ”
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaole shook his head self-deprecatingly.
The day of the start of high school is also coming, Liu Xiaole put a total of 10,000 yuan of living expenses accumulated by his mother into his backpack and walked out of the village.
When he was about to arrive at the entrance of the village, Liu Xiaole said to his mother: "Mom, go back, you can't walk for too long." ”
The mother of the child was worried, and Liu's mother did not answer Liu Xiaole's words, and kept admonishing.
As he spoke, the bus station arrived, and a long-distance bus bound for the county seat slowly drove into the station.
Liu Xiaole picked up the bag and instructed Dacheng in a serious voice: "Dacheng, after I leave, my mother will hand it over to you." ”
Dacheng nodded and said, "Don't worry Xiaole, don't worry about our mother." ”
Liu Xiaole nodded, and then said to Liu's mother: "Mom, I'm leaving, you pay more attention to your body." ”
This time, Liu Xiaole didn't dare to look directly into his mother's eyes, he was afraid, he was afraid of seeing the expectations in his mother's eyes.
The car drove slowly, Liu Xiaole looked through the car window, looking at his mother with white hair and a somewhat rickety body, his heart was sour, his mother was really old, and she was no longer the mother who went up the mountain and got down to the ground in that impression, and an indescribable thing squeezed out of the corner of her eye. Liu Xiaole shouted in his heart: "Mom, I won't come back if I don't make a fool of myself." ”
