Chapter 166: The Rain Stops
By noon, the rain had stopped, the sky was so transparent that there was not a single cloud in sight, it was intoxicatingly blue, the sun was emitting a lovely golden glow, and the air was incomparably fresh and refreshing.
The leaves of the tree have just been baptized by heavy rain, and there are small water droplets rolling on them, which seem to be shining pearls under the sun, which are beautiful and lovely, and set off the leaves more and more tender and green, which makes people pity.
After the heavy rain, Zhang Quan walked out of the courtyard gate and walked to the second uncle's house next to him.
After Zhang Quan got home yesterday, it was not early, and his parents were busy cooking, so he also went out.
When the meal was finished and it was time to eat, he talked about his business again, and then kept talking, and kept talking, so he didn't go out.
Today, while you have time, you should also walk around.
The partners who have played together since childhood are basically not at home now, and most of them go out to look for work, except for the long holiday for the New Year, Zhang Quan is basically difficult to see.
Since the end of the third year of junior high school, there have been obvious batches of young people of the same generation in the same village, and more than eighty percent of them have chosen not to study anymore and have chosen to work outside.
Twenty percent of them are basically very good at reading.
Oh no, except for Zhang Quan.
When Zhang Quan was in junior high school before, his grades were not in the top of the grade and class, and he could only be regarded as middle and middle school, and students with this score could still be admitted to ordinary high school.
But many people in the village don't think like this, they feel that if they are not on the grade or class, they are on the list, even if they go to high school, they don't have much chance of getting ahead. You don't have to go out early.
So many parents, after the high school entrance examination. Children are not allowed to read.
Of course, students with good grades. This is generally not the case.
However, according to Zhang Quan, the group of people who are not far from his age, those who choose to go to high school, count themselves, and the rest are very famous children in middle school.
How to be famous. Whenever one of them and the end of it, the exam gets a certificate; The school award meeting is also famous; how many awards are plastered in the house; Parents of poor students use names to set an example for their children.
Fortunately, the last one, Zhang Quan heard his parents say that he was bored with it, and every time he took an exam or held a parent-teacher conference, his parents would take those people's results. The comparison with Zhang Quan made him extremely upset.
However, it is estimated that there are countless people in the country who have received such treatment.
Straight to the point. In Ruishan Village, people who are not a few years apart from Zhang Quan are in high school. It's all that kind of people, and everything else. Even if I was admitted to high school, I went to school.
Some are not allowed to be read by parents. I think that if my grades are not top-notch, it is useless to read, and there are some who I don't have the confidence to read and choose to go out to work.
And two of them also chose to drop out of high school not long after they entered high school.
The former companion, Zhang Quan is basically nowhere to be found in the village, there are only two of them, who are still studying, and the others have all finished junior high school and high school and went out to work.
However, whether it is studying or going out to work, it is basically not at home or outside the home now.
"Hey, Superman, transform, monster die."
As soon as Zhang Quan walked to the second uncle's house, he heard Xiaobao's voice.
The second uncle's family, in addition to the second uncle and second aunt, there are also his two sons, that is, Zhang Quan's two cousins.
Zhang Chenggang, the eldest son of the second uncle, is sixteen years old this year, and he is in his third year of junior high school this year, and his grades are much worse than Zhang Quan's.
When Zhang Quan was in junior high school before, although his grades were not good, he was in the grade and in the class.
And Zhang Chenggang, in the grade and in the class, is almost at the bottom, and he is not reading material at all.
Zhang Chengbao, the youngest son of the second uncle, is four years old this year, and he is in the middle class of the nursery this year.
"Xiaobao, you don't need to study???" Zhang Quan walked in and asked strangely.
Xiaobao was so happy when he saw Zhang Quan that he ran straight to Zhang Quan's side.
"Ah, monsters, don't run, Xiaobao Superman is here, hey, drink!"
Zhang Quan couldn't laugh when he heard it, it turned out that he was treated as a monster by this little kid.
"Xiaobao, don't run around, that's my brother, not a monster." Seeing Xiaobao rushing towards Zhang Quan, the second aunt hurriedly shouted when she saw this.
"Hey, brother monster, take a hit from me." Xiaobao seems to be Superman, who has seen too much.
"Xiaobao, why don't you read today?" Zhang Quan is a little strange, today is obviously Tuesday, and it stands to reason that the kindergarten should also go to school.
"Xiaobao had a cold, so I took him to see it, so I didn't go today." The second aunt glanced at Xiaobao, analyzed it, and then asked, "Xiaoquan, when did you come back?" ”
"I came back last night." Zhang Quan said.
"Brother"
Zhang Cheng just walked out of the room, suddenly saw Zhang Quan, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Xiaogang, are you at home too?" Zhang Quan asked curiously.
"Come back for dinner, now at noon, I almost come back to eat, and only eat and live at school in the evening." Zhang Chenggang analyzed.
In schools here, in the third year of junior high school, regardless of the grades, the school generally requires students to live in accommodation, so that students can have more time to study in class.
After boarding at the school, many people only go home once a week (Saturdays and Sundays), but there are also a small number of junior high school students who go home for lunch and lunch in the afternoon.
But then, time is very tight, rush home, eat, sit for a few minutes, and then go back to school.
If you eat at school, you can save a lot of time, and Zhang Quan used to go home only once a week.
"Alas, even if he goes to night school, Xiao Gang's grades are not worrying, I don't know what he can do in the future?" The second aunt couldn't help but sigh when she saw Xiao Gang come out.
Zhang Quan listened to it and remembered that he was back then, and his grades at that time were better than those of Xiaogang now, although they were better, but after returning home, he also listened to his parents' nagging.
Now he no longer has to worry about his parents comparing his grades with his peers, but it is his brother's turn.
"If you don't go to a technical school, you'll go out to work like Dong Tsai." Zhang Chenggang heard it and said disapprerovingly.
"Xiaogang, if you want to go to a technical school, will you go after this semester?" Zhang Quan asked.
When he was in the third year of junior high school, the new local policy, he could go to a technical school after a semester of junior high school, without having to complete two semesters, and the school could also give a junior high school graduation certificate, but at that time, he had to pay tuition fees to study in a technical school, and the cost was still a lot.
"No, you can go to the last year, but now it's changed, and you have to finish the third year of junior high school before you can go to a technical school." Zhang Chenggang said dissatisfiedly, "I also need to take the test to read technology now, and I don't want to go like before." ”
"Isn't it? Didn't you have to take the test before? ”
"Because there is no tuition fee for studying in a technical school, too many people went to the school last year, so the school is not big enough." Zhang Chenggang shouted. (To be continued......)
