It's spring cocoon buying season again. With the continuous opening up of the rural economy and the gradual relaxation of the cocoon handover policy, farmers can choose different cocoon stations according to the price of cocoons, but there is only one cocoon station in each township.

The purchase price of each cocoon station will soon reach the ears of the farmers through various channels. The purchase price of this year's spring cocoons is two to three cents higher than that of Shiqiao. The news is heartening for Xiejiaba and Yangjiawan, which are closest to the Chahe River, and even if it costs two cents for a round-trip ride, it's worth it; What's more, many people choose to walk?

Mother and daughter had already picked up the cocoons the first night. This year's harvest of spring cocoons has indeed improved greatly, and the oval-shaped cocoons are white and silky, and they look good, which Shufen has contributed to. After careful selection, the two large baskets full of 80 kilograms.

The next day, the fork of the river meets. Xie Guoqiang was "pulled into a strong ding" as usual, and as a free laborer, he arrived at his father-in-law's house before dawn.

Yangjiawan, which had just been quiet, suddenly became noisy, and every household was ready to carry the "fruits" of this harvest to Chahe Township, ten kilometers away. The farmers at the foot of Mao'er Mountain went to the foot of Yantai Mountain with flashlights or torches, and the farmers at the foot of Yantai Mountain had already sung a loud song at Dishui Rock, and the farmers of Xiejiaba were also echoing by the embankment of the hydropower station. The sparse light of fire and light pierced the night, the night sky was lit up by dense stars and fireflies, and the dawn was awakened by the joy and laughter of joy.

In addition to the eldest brother-in-law, there are also two brothers, Yang Zejun and Yang Zejian. They enjoyed the cool breeze of early summer, talking and laughing and laughing and laughing at the wharf of Xiejiaba, where motor boats docked on the shore, and boatmen shouted the slogan "leave immediately" and competed for business. For them, this is the only season that will set off and return with a full load.

Shufen was carrying a full back of cocoons, although it was not particularly heavy, but she was also sweating, and she had fallen behind unconsciously.

Xie Guoqiang carried a burden of less than 100 kilograms, and there was no pressure on him, so he had already left Shufen behind, and now he was resting and smoking with Yang Zejian's brothers at the three-way intersection.

"Guoqiang, do you take a boat or walk?" Yang Zejun, the elder brother of Jiangouzi, took the paper cigarette and asked Xie Guoqiang.

"Walking, I'm not used to the boat, my head is dizzy!" Guoqiang lit a paper cigarette with a match.

"Forget it, let's take a boat. Brother, let's go, I don't have a seat at once! After hearing that his companion was going to walk, Yang Zejian urged.

"Rest? What are you busy with, you don't have to worry about taking the boat, anyway, you won't open the door when you go to the cocoon station early! Yang Zejun got up and picked up a handful of cocoons in Guoqiang's basket, "Your cocoons are okay, white and big!" ”

"It's okay, my father-in-law's family is Yang Shufen feeding silkworms this year, and the mulberry leaves are all picked in a hurry, and the silkworms have to bring a cage! Our family can't do it, and the silkworms of five people can't catch up with his family's cocoons. ”

"Your mother-in-law can follow her to learn Ha'er, we old men all call us to learn! But if you can't learn, you don't have any patience! Yang Zejun threw the cocoon in his hand into his basket, then gave his younger brother a look, and pulled Guoqiang aside to smoke.

Yang Zejian deliberately moved his back to the side of Guoqiang's basket, and took the sheep by the hand as he could, without taking the passers-by in his eyes at all.

"Uncle Jian, what are you doing?" Shufen finally caught up with them out of breath, but was roared angrily by Yang Zejian's "three hands".

Only then did Guoqiang react, turned around and raised his fist towards Yang Zejian. Where can the teenage doll withstand this iron hammer, and a heel bucket fell into the grass. Gui Ying hurriedly stepped forward to protect the cocoon with her back - that was almost all the hope of this family!

Yang Zejun saw that his younger brother was beaten, and he had to fight to the death with Xie Guoqiang. But he was held by a big hand all the time.

"Uncle Jun, you are an old man!" It was Yang Guiyong who pulled Yang Zejun, this "10,000 yuan household", why did he appear in this Xie Jiaba so early?

"Oh, Gui Yong," Yang Zejun put down his flat shoulder, and the anger just now seemed to have disappeared all at once, "Go to the chacha river field again today?" You see, I'm not going to sell cocoons! ”

Yang Guiyong was wearing a floral shirt, waist-length under white pants, and a small leather bag in his hand. After stopping Yang Zejun, he came over to help Yang Zejian.

"Oh, it's all my own family, and they still play with guns and sticks. Uncle Jian is too, look at the cocoon and put it in the wrong pocket! Shufen, I saw it, he caught you like this! Yang Guiyong grabbed a small handful of cocoons from Jiangouzi's back and put them into Xie Guoqiang's basket.

"You ......" Guoqiang's green muscles burst out, and he couldn't wait to smash his fist at Yang Guiyong.

"Forget it, forget it, brother-in-law, let's go!" Shufen came over with her back and pulled her brother-in-law over.

The aggrieved Guoqiang looked at the form, knowing that if he continued to entangle, he would only suffer a loss in front of him, so he did not attack again, and followed Shufen along the river to the fork river.

"Yang Zejun, what the hell are you doing this kind of indiscriminate means?" Yang Guiyong seemed to have changed as a person, and the elder he had just called suddenly called him by his name.

"Gui Yong, I really can't help it, and now I don't have any income, can you give me a few more days, and I will pay you half of this cocoon first?" Yang Zejun glanced at his younger brother, quickly pulled Yang Guiyong aside, and handed over a paper cigarette.

"Don't say that Lao Tzu won't give you a chance, go to Chahe today, Lao Tzu's old place is waiting for you!" Yang Guiyong threw the paper cigarette on the ground and went straight to the boat......

"Brother, according to his neat and profitable method, we won't be able to pay it off in our lifetime!" Yang Zejian covered his nose and looked at his frustrated brother.

"Let's go!" Yang Zejun came over to pick up the burden, and helped his younger brother lift the back and straddle it on his shoulder, "Dog's day, a mongrel who eats pig's feet and never spits out bones!" ”

"I have a way," didn't take a few steps, Yang Zejian suddenly stopped, "The stonemason surnamed Xie has money in his pocket, discuss it with Yang Guiyong, we trick him into playing cards, according to the old rules, the fish are enough to offset the account!" It seems that this little ghost who dropped out of school at home is also familiar with gambling.

"That fool pokes and pokes, I have never seen him play cards, it is estimated that it is difficult! What's more, it's not good to make such a show with others in the morning! ”

"I have a way to ......"

"Shun'er, you've been going to school for a month, haven't you? What's it like? ”

"One month and eight days. It's harder than you think! Especially advanced mathematics, I only know when I go to school, it's so important! ”

"Bao Jianfeng is sharpened from the sharpening! Shun'er, don't pick up the goods at night, come back and read more books! ”

"That's not good, godfather, the two of us agreed. I eat and live here for nothing, if you don't want me to pick up the goods, I will have to live in the bridge again! ”

Fu Shun changed into a ragged suit and carried a bamboo stick to find Brother Gouzi. Liu Yonghan shook his head, this stubborn godson, there is really nothing he can do.

More than a month ago, Liu Yonghan, like other parents, sent Fushun to Jiangyun Construction Engineering School. The neatly dressed Fu Shun didn't look out of place on the surface, but Fu Shun's heart was pounding, and even the two majestic stone lions at the school gate made his heart beat faster. Liu Yonghan looked at this familiar campus, and his heart swelled with surging songs.

Teacher Zheng waited at the door early, and when he saw the timid Fushun, he walked over and patted the young man on the shoulder.

"Zheng-Sensei!" Fu Shun remembered his godfather's advice that he could no longer call him "Uncle Zheng" in the future.

"Liu Fushun, are you ready?"

"I ......" Fu Shun looked at his godfather. Liu Yonghan gave Fushun an encouraging look and put the heavy canvas bag on Fushun's shoulder.

"What do you see him doing? It's not him who reads! Zheng Yunxia smiled, her heart was extremely warm, this child who can be called a genius and is very independent, is no different from other children in terms of dependence on family affection.

"Well, you're ready, Mr. Zheng!" The smiles of Godfather and Teacher Zheng gave Fushun great encouragement.

The campus is especially beautiful in the spring. Colorful butterflies are dancing in the peach orchard, crimson dragonflies are chasing in the lotus pond, the fragrance of flowers is soaked in the smell of grass, and dew drops are blinking rainbow eyes.

Everywhere he walked, Mr. Zheng patiently introduced the buildings and signs on the side of the road, from the library to the large canteen, from the teaching building to the dormitory area, Fushun remembered them one by one. Fushun suddenly stopped in front of two strange buildings, what soft lines, what perfect geometry!

Zheng Yunxia continued to relish. "These are two sculptures that were just completed a few days ago! It is the latest work of Ma Ziang, a young talent in our construction industry, the one in front is called "Open Door", and the one in the back is "Dingge Star". The two seemingly simple sculptures perfectly integrate architecture and sculpture, with 1,978 lines connecting 113 irregular cubes, implying that the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee held in 1978 established the policy ...... of 'internal reform and opening up to the outside world'."

The construction school is not big, and it will take a while to walk all over it. Teacher Zheng took the father and son to the office of the dean of academic affairs in the administration building and sat down, and Liu Yonghan knew that Zheng Yunxia was the director of academic affairs of the construction engineering school.

Teacher Zheng handed a dense class schedule to Fushun. "Liu Fushun, this is the professional curriculum from the first grade to the third grade, except for their break time and public courses, you can basically stagger the time. Let's try it out first, let's not ask for it in one go, we can listen to which grade we can understand, step by step! ”

Liu Yonghan and Mr. Zheng exchanged a few words and went back to the dock. Fu Shun sat in the corner of the classroom nervously, and no one paid attention to this inconspicuous young man.

Looking at the new desks, the white walls and the pitch-black blackboard, Fushun was a little at a loss and burst into tears. This moment, which he had been looking forward to for more than ten years, came to him so fortunately, and he was ready for this moment at any time. From today onwards, even if he is an auditor, he can be above board; Even if he steals school, he will not be turned away.

On the first day of school, Fushun shuttled through different classrooms under the guidance of Mr. Zheng, but he didn't listen to any content at all, and he didn't adapt to this unfamiliar environment and new learning methods......
