"You said last year that you would stay at home for another year and go to school, and you still say that this year." Zhou Chen hugged Zhou Wanwan and didn't let go, and walked out as he spoke, and didn't forget to signal Dunzi to bring his coat, schoolbag, kettle, handkerchief, snacks, cushions and a lot of other things that he had prepared early in the morning.

"I was only eight years old last year, not of school age, not counted!" Zhou Wanwan then fluttered in Zhou Chen's arms, but unfortunately he was small and weak, and he was easily restrained by Zhou Chen, who had grown into a young man.

"There are also people who go to school at the age of eight, why don't they count?" Zhou Chen walked into the courtyard, simply sat down at the long table under the wisteria flowers, and tightly wrapped Zhou Wanwan in his arms with his arms, trying to reason with her for the first time.

"I just want to go to school at the age of nine, and other people's children go to school at the age of nine, so why should I be eight years old?" Zhou Wanwan's little face twisted, she didn't look at Zhou Chen, and she was angry with him.

"Then you're nine years old, why don't you go to school yet?"

"I'll stay at home for a year, and I'll go again next year, I can skip a grade, I can keep up, I promise to be the first in the exam every year, and I will come back with a wall of awards!" Zhou Wanwan stopped fluttering, leaned softly in Zhou Chen's arms, and coquettishly played with him, "Second brother, you have to believe me!" I will definitely study well like you. ”

"Well, I believe in you, so you have to go to school! Why don't you get a wall of awards back? "Zhou Chen is not fooled by Zhou Wanwan at all, he is selfless and has no discussion at all.

The main reason is that the little girl has used this trick for two years, and the trick is old, and Zhou Chen already has immunity.

Zhou Wanwan was angry, "Second brother! "It's not cute when you grow up, it's not as good as when you were a kid!

"Go to school!" Zhou Chen didn't give an inch.

"Big brother!" Zhou Wanwan continued to flutter in Zhou Chen's arms. Turning his head to find reinforcements, "Big brother! I don't go to school! I'm going to be at home with you! I'm going to school, and when you and Brother Dunzi go home, no one will run out to pick you up! You won't be able to see me at first sight! No one brings you face water, hot meals, or slippers! I don't go to school! ”

"Whew!" Xiao Wang was so anxious that he stretched his neck and screamed, Zhou Wanwan said so many words without panting. It's suffocating!

Zhou Yang was told the central matter by Zhou Wanwan, and wanted to intercede for her but was afraid that Zhou Chen would lose his temper, so he was so anxious that he almost wanted to learn from Xiao Wang Yangtian and howl.

"It's useless to call big brother! You have to go to school today! I told Teacher Li that you can go directly to their class, skip one level, and go to the second grade! Zhou Chen picked up Zhou Wanwan and left, without looking at Zhou Yang.

You don't have to look at him to know. The eldest brother must have been persuaded by the little girl again. Zhou Chen was helpless, no one in the whole family helped him, and they were all bought by the little girl's sweet words!

Dunzi followed Zhou Chen with a large number of things. hesitated to speak for Zhou Wanwan, "Little Er......"

Zhou Chen glanced back at him, swallowed all the words behind the pier, and trotted to open the door for the two people who were fluttering.

Xiao Wang Yigou jumped out first. Jumping east and west on the street, waiting for the two people who were still fighting in the yard. It's like a child who is in a hurry to set off for a spring outing.

Zhou Chen is eighteen years old this year, he has grown to 1.82 meters, his limbs are slender, his figure is straight, he looks a little thin, but he is actually very flexible and powerful, although he has not done a day of farm work in the field over the years, he gets up early every day to run 5,000 meters with Shen Guodong. When they came back, the four brothers played fists and kicks together and practiced until they sweated profusely. It's time to start a new day.

At the beginning, a few people practiced military physical boxing with Shen Guodong, and it was purely half of the eldest child's excess energy to practice and play.

Later, Zhou Wanwan found a copy of "Tai Chi Thirty-six Styles" for them, the things in the space, of course, have its subtleties, three or four years, the four brothers slowly practiced this set of boxing techniques, according to the only one who used this set of kung fu to fight with others Shen Guodong said:

"It's effortless, it's like playing seven or eight!"

Of course, Shen Guodong also defeated seven or eight of them together when he didn't practice this set of kung fu, so he didn't know if it took much effort.

Later, Zhou Wanwan found out some books on sanda, confrontation, and strength exercises for them one after another, and the brothers' morning exercise time became more professional, and there were simple exercise equipment such as horizontal bars, stone barbells and dumbbells in the yard.

The four of them got up in the morning to practice martial arts, and they kept it absolutely secret from the outside world. In this era, no matter whether it is taboo or not, it is dangerous to be a little different, and as they get older, several people know more and more to protect themselves and this family.

So it was too easy for Zhou Chen to restrain Zhou Wanwan, the problem was that he couldn't bear it. The little girl can flutter if she wants toss, and if she is tired, she has to let him take it away. So Zhou Chen let Zhou Wanwan toss in his arms, except for not letting her go, she was up to her to toss no matter how she tossed.

Zhou Wanwan was so tired that she was out of breath, and she didn't do useless work, lying on Zhou Chen's body and not speaking, but her eyes were blinking and blinking.

"Don't think of bad ideas! Shen Guodong is gone, no one will help you today! Zhou Chen extinguished Zhou Wanwan's last hope.

Zhou Wanwan leaned on Zhou Chen's shoulder and sighed, "Second brother, can't I go to school next year?" I can skip a grade just like you. ”

"No, I can't. Children have to go to school when they reach school age, I was forced to skip a grade at that time, you have the conditions to go to school now, why don't you want to go well? ”

"I'm going to stay at home with my eldest brother and my brother Dunzi." Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Chen seriously.

Zhou Chen laughed angrily, "This is an excuse, it doesn't count!" You don't leave home to go to college, don't you be able to spend time with them every day? ”

Zhou Wanwan leaned on Zhou Chen's shoulder and sighed.

She didn't want to go to school so early, she went a year earlier, the day she left home to go to college was a year earlier, and her eldest brother and brother Dunzi had to be sad a year earlier.

Shen Guodong and Zhou Chen both graduated from high school, and because Shen Guodong was the child of a martyr, he directly joined the work after graduation.

According to the current policy, rural high school students like Zhou Chen must first participate in two years of labor after graduation before they can be eligible to participate in recruitment or be recommended to go to university.

So Zhou Chen, who graduated from high school last winter, is now helping out at the county cultural center, which can be regarded as a special recruitment to work in the production team instead.

At this time, rural high school graduates are a very embarrassing existence, and urban children have to go to the countryside to join the queue to be educated youths after graduating from high school. They have fewer chances of being recruited or recommended for college.

Therefore, after graduating from high school, the vast majority of rural children go home to work as farmers, at most they work as accountants in the squad or brigade, and have little chance of getting ahead.

Of course, there are also good family conditions. It is already a good way out for them to be substitute teachers in a village primary school, although there is no teacher staff, but they do not have to work in the fields and suffer.

Like Zhou Chen, who can be specially recruited by the county cultural center, even if he is just a temporary worker to help, it is not enough to rely on relationships alone. I must also have a skill.

Zhou Chen not only has one skill, he is an all-round player. Out of the board newspaper, write slogans. Engrave badges to make pennants, make props to decorate the venue, and even skillfully play several musical instruments, if the labor propaganda team is not enough. He can go up and sing two songs and win a full house.

Shen Guodong didn't have to say anything to the director of the cultural center at all. Brought Zhou Chen over and showed his hand a few times, and the old curator of the cultural center, whose glasses were thicker than the bottom of the wine bottle, couldn't help but nod, "I want it!" Come on, come on! ”

Zhou Chen's going to the cultural center was decided.

To work in the county, of course, you have to live in a cultural center. Zhou Yang took the whole family to clean up the dormitory for Zhou Chen, unlike sending him to high school two years ago, that time he was happy that his younger brother went to school, but this time there were a lot of reluctance.

My younger brother has grown up and has his own job. Away from home. It will go further and further in the future.

Although I am very happy for him, the loss in my heart cannot be ignored.

Back from the county seat. There are only Zhou Yang, Dunzi and Zhou Wanwan left at home, and it seems to be a lot empty. Although Zhou Chen and Shen Guodong usually go to school in the county high school, they can only come back on weekends, but their mood is completely different from now.

Now they are all away from home to work, although they will also go home on weekends, I don't know why, but my heart is still empty when I think about it.

Zhou Yang walked around the house several times, but forgot what he wanted to do.

Zhou Chen, who was silently tidying up the timber and tools made by hand, fiddled with them over and over again, placed them neatly and neatly, saw that he was not satisfied, and then put them aside again, so panicked that he couldn't do anything.

Zhou Yang forgot to put salt in dinner that night, and none of the three of them ate it. Their mood was the same as this dinner, absent-minded, tasteless.

Although Zhou Yang and Dunzi's mood slowly adjusted, the loss and confusion that their hearts were taken away made Zhou Wanwan want to cry when he thought about it.

She will also leave home in the future, and for whatever reason, she will have to go to college, get ahead, reassure her brothers, and make them proud of her.

But she wants to postpone the days of leaving home, until the eldest brother and the elder brother Dunzi have started a family, have their own home and sustenance, and are no longer so sad about her departure.

Zhou Wanwan was even more reluctant to leave home, she was reborn to protect her relatives, and it was good to stay with them for one more day.

So she has been trying to go to school a few years later, take the university entrance examination a few years later, and leave home a few years later. And she didn't want to waste her time in the village primary school, which was completely meaningless to her.

Hanging out with a bunch of snotty little kids for five years gives me goosebumps just thinking about her. She imagined that if she could delay at home for a few more years, and when she was thirteen or fourteen years old, she could directly take the exam for junior high school, and save the process of going to elementary school.

Of course, it is not yet possible to say directly. Drag it out for a year, maybe in a few years her idea will come true.

But Zhou Chen didn't cooperate at all. His attitude in this matter was surprisingly tough. Zhou Wanwan has to go to school this year.

Even though she was already able to read a large number of novels like her brothers in the family; Even if the whole family except for Zhou Chen, Zhou Wanwan's handwriting is the best-looking; Even though she was able to calculate the family's income and expenses and daily expenses two or three years ago and arrange them in an orderly manner, Zhou Chen still insisted that her sister must go to school to receive a formal school education.

"I have to go to school today!" Zhou Chen stared at Zhou Wanwan and told her with his firm gaze that there was no room for negotiation.

"I'm not going to go today!" Shen Guodong rode the bicycle directly into the yard, couldn't wait to prop it up, pushed it against the flower wall, and ran over to Zhou Chen and Zhou Wanwan.

"I said I was a little flustered when I left this morning! If I hadn't come back halfway, you'd have tied up the girl to school! ”

In the matter of studying at night on Sunday night, Shen Guodong and Zhou Chen's attitudes were completely opposite. The little girl is so smart, she doesn't have to go to school to do anything, why do you go to school to suffer that sin? If she doesn't want to go, she won't go!

Today, in order to prevent Shen Guodong from making trouble, Zhou Chen sent him to work early in the morning before sending Zhou Wanwan to school, but he didn't expect him to run back halfway!

"Let's go! Brother Shen will take you to the county seat to watch a movie! Shen Guodong stretched out his hand and went to Zhou Chen's arms to snatch someone. Good boy, why do you always make her unhappy? Shen Guodong really couldn't figure out what Zhou Chen wanted to do.

What else can I do when I go to school on Sunday night other than being surrounded by a group of mud monkeys? Those elementary school teachers can't even give their family a little finger, what can they teach her?

"Shen Guodong! You don't care about it! Hurry back to your class! Zhou Chen was also anxious. A week night is enough for him to toss, and this time he will come back with a more troublesome one.

"Give me the girl, and I'll go." Shen Guodong chased after Zhou Chen to have a child, and began to play a scoundrel, "Otherwise, you can't send her to school today, if you don't believe it, you can try it." ”

Zhou Chen was so angry that he reached out to push this stupid big man. Shen Guodong is nineteen years old this year, a big man of 1.88 meters, who exercises all year round, the muscles on his body are thin and powerful, and the lines on his face are hard, he has completely departed from the boy's body shape and appearance, and has become a very eye-catching man.

Shen Guodong smiled and made a one-handed move with Zhou Chen, and he didn't forget to be angry with him, "Let you make ten moves, after ten moves, I will rob people!" ”

Shen Guodong's skills Zhou Chen knew too well, he said that after ten moves, he would rob people, and the eleventh move would definitely snatch Zhou Wanwan away.

"Can you stop messing around!?" Zhou Chen was really anxious and began to shout at Shen Guodong.

"Give me the baby, and we'll be gone! When will you be angry and when will we come back, I promise not to upset you! Shen Guodong still smiled and didn't pay attention.

"Alright, Gordon, don't make a fuss." The pier came up to separate the two people.

Zhou Chen was really anxious. Every time like this, Dunzi must unconditionally support Zhou Chen, it has always been like this, it is useless for Shen Guodong to protest no matter how many times.

"Second brother, don't be angry, let Brother Dunzi clean up Brother Shen for you!" Zhou Wanwan didn't care who Shen Guodong had suffered for, anyway, he had to coax Zhou Chen not to be angry first.

"You two are less and muddy!" Zhou Chen's temper was not pleasing to anyone, so he counted Dunzi and Zhou Wanwan and Shen Guodong together:

"You two also think I'm troublesome, and think this kid is a good troublemaker, and he came back in time, don't you? He doesn't have a brain, don't you two grow either? ”

Shen Guodong touched his nose and didn't speak, blocking the way out of the way just wouldn't get out of the way. If you don't have a brain, you don't have a brain, anyway, he won't let the girl go to that broken school to suffer.

"Nan Nan has to go to school, how can she make friends if she doesn't go to school? How can there be classmates and teachers? ”

Zhou Chen looked around and felt that he was the most worried person in the family, "She is not going to learn knowledge, but to learn how to integrate into the crowd and adapt to society!"

She has grown so big, she doesn't even have a child, she only plays with a few of us adults, plays with Xiao Wang, what if we are not by her side in the future, what if she is lonely? Who to tell if you have something on your mind? Who's playing with her? Who can make her happy? Have you thought about any of this?! (To be continued......)
