The yin and yang of the twilight of the year urge the short scene, and the frost and snow at the end of the world are cold.

The winter nights become longer and colder, especially on the banks of the Yangtze River. The bitter river breeze roamed aimlessly, a few bare sycamores shivered in the cold wind, branches fluttered like devil's minions, crows' empty nests crumbled, and hatching eggshells fell to the ground. The ships on the wharf are not decreasing, and the upcoming Spring Festival allows the New Year's goods from all over the world to gather here, and then disperse.

Fu Shun wrapped his newly bought cotton clothes, and the frostbite from his earlobes made him shrink his neck into the collar, if it was in Yangjiawan, this season would not make him tremble. To hurry to the docks, he preferred to pick up the heavy cargo with his flat pole and sweat to dispel the terrible cold. But when he saw the big ship of heavy wooden boxes, he flinched a little—after all, the hot sweat would then turn into a cold sweat, and even if he changed his clothes, he would have a chill down his spine in the middle of the night.

"Shun'er, why did you come out? It's all said that you won't use it tonight! Liu Yonghan, who was negotiating with the freight boss, saw the shivering child with a flat pole and hurriedly beckoned him to hide in the boat.

"Godfather, I'm bored by myself, let's move some goods!"

"Finished reading the book?"

"Well, I can't understand several places!"

"Oh, it's okay, I think, your foundation is still a little worse, why don't you go to Mr. Zheng's school to study?!"

"Oh!" Fushun responded as usual without heart. "Brother Dog, I'll pick up the goods for you?!" This is the site of the eastern wharf, of course, with the consent of Li Gouzi.

"Picky, your godfather has a lot of your salary!" Li Gouzi looked at Liu Yonghan, who was giving out cigarettes to the boss, rubbed over with a smile, and took out the last cigarette in the cigarette case.

"Scar Liu" glared at him, "Get out of here!" Lao Tzu ......"

"Hey! Hey! Ha without dirty words! We all ......" Before Li Gouzi finished speaking, he was kicked in the ass and unloaded the paper cigarette on his ear!

Fu Shun seemed to have some difficulty picking two boxes of goods, after all, he hadn't done heavy work for a long time, so he decided to only carry one box on the second trip.

"Fushun, your godfather said you were going to study?" The strong Li Gouzi, carrying a load of goods, climbed this steep stone ladder, just like walking on the ground!

"Brother Dog, you're joking with me somewhere!" Fu Shun spat white vapor in his mouth, paying attention to the ladder under his feet, for fear that he would not step on a steady step.

"What a joke! If you really study and become a cadre, you can't forget our brothers! It seems that Li Gouzi is really not joking, slowed down, and leaned towards Fushun, freeing his hand to help Fushun with some strength.

"Thank you, Brother Dog......"

"Haha, I'm really going to make a joke with you now - your mother-in-law is here, Fushun!"

Li Gouzi was talking about Yang Guiying, who was standing on the side of the road at the top of the stone steps, leaning down to see if this faltering "bangbang" was Fushun, and after making sure, he ran down in three steps and two steps. "Fushun, I said where are you going when you're not in the accounting room?" Gui Ying said as she helped Fu Shun lift the big wooden box up.

Li Gouzi, who was walking like a fly, disappeared without a trace as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

"Fushun, is it confirmed that you are going to study?"

"No, I haven't thought about it yet!"

"The docks have spread that you are going to school after the New Year!" Gui Ying, who has never been to school, is as conflicted as Fushun in her heart, and she would rather Fushun not go to school. I am illiterate who can't read a single word, if Fushun really went to college and became a cadre or worker who eats and supplies food, how can I be worthy? It's better to be a little accountant on this dock, and just don't worry about food and clothing!

Fushun was also thinking about this question repeatedly, and even wrote a letter to Shufen specifically for this purpose. He had the idea of going to school again because he went to Uncle Li Xiang's house half a month ago.

Half a month ago, on the weekend, after the dock was arranged, Liu Yonghan took Fushun to visit Li Xiang's home.

"Oh, Lao Liu, what did I say about you? After you have done feudalism, you want to engage in capitalism? I promised to let you bring the little ghost to the house to play, which one is still interested in mentioning these things, first say okay, take it back later, or I won't let you in! Li Xiang saw that "Scar Liu" was full of cigarettes and alcohol, and he couldn't help but be angry, and really stopped the guests at the door.

"Okay, good, our honest old director!" Liu Yonghan was really helpless, so he had to accept it first and took the child into a clean and tidy house.

Li Xiang's lover Zheng Yunxia was very happy when she saw the guests coming, and she poured tea and water, and held melon seeds and fruits. The first time Fu Shun went to the house of the people in the city, he looked around curiously, and it was not until Uncle Li closed the door and beckoned him to sit down, that he sat down on the edge of the wooden sofa by his uncle.

"Come, let me introduce, this is Zheng Yunxia, a teacher at Jiangyun Construction Engineering School. Yunxia, this is the father and son on the dock that I often mention to you - Liu Yonghan and Liu Fushun! Li Xiang lifted a glass of water and stood in the center of the living room.

"Hello Uncle Zheng!" Fu Shun greeted shyly, his voice so low that only he could hear it.

"Be louder! The baby is a little introverted, Sister Zheng, don't be surprised! After Liu Yonghan criticized Fushun, he hurriedly added.

"It doesn't matter, you talk, I'll go get some food!" Sister Zheng's accent is northerner, and she is very happy to see guests at home, the family is an old couple, and her son is a soldier on the front line, and she is worried that the home is deserted on the weekend!

"It's not tidy, big sister, let's sit down and leave. First, I want to thank Brother Li, otherwise I am still squatting in prison, and Gui Ying's girl will die; Secondly...... Second, I heard that the eldest sister is a teacher who teaches architecture, and I want to bring the doll to visit! ”

"Brother Liu, the first one you said is what his people's police should do, don't thank you or not," Teacher Zheng smiled at Li Xiang, and then looked at Fushun, who was shy and lowered his head, "Fushun, right?" I heard Lao Li mention it, are you planning to let him go to a technical school? ”

"Yunxia, you talk, I'll cook!" Lao Li said as he took off his apron from the wall and went to the kitchen.

"Really, old Brother Li," Liu Yonghan stood up and saw Li Xiang make a gesture to sit down, and sat down again and said to Teacher Zheng, "I don't know if I can go up?" The baby is very interested in architecture! ”

"Does he have a junior high school diploma?" Zheng Yunxia didn't know the child in front of her very well, not to mention that going to a technical school also required a junior Chinese certificate, and he had to pass the guò exam to be hired.

Liu Yonghan looked at Fushun, who buried his head lower, and said with some embarrassment: "The doll hasn't gone to school for a day? ”

"Haven't been to school in a day?" Zheng Yunxia looked shocked, and then became a little unhappy, "If you want to mix up a diploma, it's basically impossible, now it's all admitted by regular exams!" ”

"No, no, the eldest sister may have misunderstood what I meant, blame me for not making it clear. The little baby came from the countryside, the family conditions are not good, and he really didn't go to school, but the doll may have some talent in architecture, and he taught himself some geometry and physics knowledge, I see him fiddling with some architectural models every day, I want to ...... "Liu Yonghan said very modestly, to be exact, Fushun has taught himself a lot of university-level architectural knowledge!"

"Then you still want to take a shortcut?!" Teacher Zheng stroked her short hair and handed Fu Shun a freshly peeled orange, "Young man, eat fruit!" ”

Fu Shun raised his head and took the orange with some trembling, "Thank you, auntie!" ”

"Xiao Fushun, how can you study by yourself if you haven't been to school for a day? You don't know a lot of words, do you? ”

"Well, some don't recognize it, most of them still know it, and ...... And the books I read are mainly numbers, diagrams, and formulas, and I don't need to know too many words! Fushun was still as quiet as a mosquito buzzing.

The eyebrows and eyes of "Scar Liu", who was so anxious, wrinkled into a ball, and roared loudly: "Be louder!" Fu Shun was so frightened that even Li Xiang, who was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, poked his head out.

"Don't yell at the doll, you can hear me. Formula, you say? Do you know all the letters and symbols? ”

"I don't know, I can't read them, so I'll name them myself, anyway, I just remember what it means, such as 'standing earthworm', which means integral, and 'straight left ear', which means sum......" Fushun said what he liked, and his voice suddenly became much louder.

"Wait, wait," Zheng Yunxia thought about the 'earthworm' and 'ear' in Fushun's mouth, "Oh, you're talking about '∫' and '∑'!" Mr. Zheng changed all his views just now, he didn't believe that this kid had never gone to school, you must know that these algebraic symbols only appear in math textbooks above high school!

"Fushun, haven't you really gone to school for a day?" Zheng Yunxia simply threw out her own questions.

"I haven't been there, the police in the institute went to his hometown to investigate," Li Xiang, who had just fried a dish, was ashamed to serve the dish, and when he heard Yunxia's question, he hurriedly "explained truthfully".

"Fushun, what books do you usually read?" Yunxia's tone became more and more gentle, like a kind mother.

"I used to read some books on geometry, then I read some books on physics and mechanics, and I went to Jiangyun to buy some...... Oh...... "Fu Shun simply took out several books from his canvas satchel, all of which were about architecture, such as "Introduction to Architectural Design", "Architectural Surveying and Mapping", and "Architectural Structural Design...... There was a big stack of six or seven thick books, and Zheng Yunxia was dumbfounded.

Zheng Yunxia flipped through the textbooks of these college students, there were some annotations such as "standing earthworms" everywhere, and occasionally a hand-drawn drawing, Teacher Zheng had changed from disbelief to noncommittal, she looked at this fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, and two words popped out of her mind - "genius"!

"How long did it take you to read these books?"

"It's less than half a year, and it's only at noon and in the middle of the night!"

"Half a year? This is a professional textbook for almost four years in the university's Department of Architecture...... How much can you understand? ”

"I don't know much about most of them, but I like these books very much, and I really want to read them, but ......" The child's face was full of thirst for knowledge. Yes, even if you are a genius, you need guidance!

"Don't go that high, after all, your books are very demanding in mathematics and mechanics. I'll give you a few books, maybe it's a little simpler, if you don't understand it, you can ask me again! "Teacher Zheng fully understands Fushun's distress, if he can fully understand or understand most of it, then it is not just a genius, it is simply an ability......
