CHAPTER XVIII

Early the next morning, Zhang Cuilian got up early at four o'clock. She knew that Mama Xie was going to ride a bicycle to cut the pigs and eat grass today, so she wanted to help.

"Oh, go to bed. No need for you! When Xie Ma saw Zhang Cuilian follow, she hurriedly stopped her.

"I'll go with you. If the neighbor doesn't get up, borrow a bicycle and I'll go with you! Zhang Cuilian had a firm attitude, and Mama Xie couldn't find her a dress for her own work.

"The dew is heavy in the morning, so you wear a little more." After the two were armed, Zhang Cuilian put on a big straw hat. Riding a 28-type girder bicycle, I followed Xie's mother out of the door.

The so-called pig grazing is, to put it bluntly, to find a place where no one is around, and dig up some grass that pigs love to eat. When you go home, you can chop the finely chopped pieces with wheat bran, feed the chickens, feed the ducks, and feed the pigs.

The mother and daughter rode for a long time before Mother Xie stopped in front of a forest. The two men took knives and began to mow the grass, and at this time, Zhang Cuilian found that there were a lot of mushrooms here.

"Mom! There are so many mushrooms here! Zhang Cuilian excitedly pointed to the mushroom and smiled. Mother Xie glanced at it and shook her head: "Those can't be eaten, and everything that can be eaten has been picked away." ”

"Oh!" Zhang Cuilian pursed her lips in disappointment, walked to Xie's mother's side and honestly chopped pigweed.

At six o'clock, the mother and daughter rode their bicycles home. There were pigs grazing in the back seat, and the mother and daughter returned home laughing and laughing.

At this time, Xie Jun had already made breakfast, and his cooking skills could only cook one kind of food, that is, the following noodles.

Bring the noodles to a boil and throw three or four eggs into them. Put some chopped green onions and a little salt to complete the work, which is very simple and convenient.

Taking advantage of Xie Jun's efforts to sort out the pigs' grazing, Zhang Cuilian got two cucumbers from the yard. After patting it, mixing it with salt and putting some vinegar, everyone eats some sour cucumbers in the morning.

After eating the noodles, Xie Jun took Zhang Cuilian on a long-distance bus to the city at 7:10. I arrived at the bus station at half past eight, and today was particularly smooth and ten minutes early.

Xie Jun thinks this is a good omen, and it will definitely give them good hope.

When I arrived at the teacher's college, the principal had not yet come to work. The two of them waited in the corridor for a while, and then they saw an old man in a black suit and glasses approaching.

Xie Jun greeted him and asked with a smile, "Principal Qu?" ”

Principal Qu nodded: "You are Zhang Cuilian's parent?" ”

Xie Jun nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, it's really troublesome for you, principal!" ”

When he entered the office, Principal Qu inevitably asked about the specific situation, and Xie Jun briefly explained Zhang Cuilian's growth background. When he learned that it was the adoptive father who came with the child instead of the biological father, Principal Qu couldn't help but stand up and hold Xie Jun's hand: "I admire you, you are really a good person and a good father." Very responsible, it seems that the child must be very good educated by you! ”

Xie Jun's face turned red and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, I'm a rough person." ”

After Principal Qu contacted Zhang Cuilian's high school principal, all the formalities became easy. After a short day, Zhang Cuilian can finally be sure that she will start her life for three years at the Normal College.

After coming out of the teacher's college, both father and daughter were very happy. Xie Jun couldn't wait to lead Zhang Cuilian to buy clothes, but Zhang Cuilian politely declined.

I stayed at Xie's house for two days, and school is about to start. Although Zhang Cuilian was also reluctant, she still had to say hello to her biological parents.

"Cuilian! This is your tuition and living expenses, so you can go to school in the city. Yes! Xie Jun handed a handful of money to Zhang Cuilian, Zhang Cuilian lowered her head and red eyes: "Dad!" I borrowed this money from you, and I will pay you back twice as much in the future! ”

Mother Xie shook her head and smiled: "What's this, it's serious for you to go to school with peace of mind!" ”

Zhang Cuilian collected the tuition fees and took the bus back to the outskirts of the city. got out of the car, and I didn't see Zhang Guangfu and his family selling steamed buns.

It seems that without her help, the two of them are still too lazy. Walking home with her schoolbag on her back, she saw many neighbors asking her about her along the way.

Zhang Cuilian smiled and nodded: "It's okay!" I couldn't go to university, so the principal of the teacher college asked me to go! ”

She walked to Chen's house first, and Aunt Chen helped a lot that day. And she sincerely found a home for herself, although the two were not suitable, and the two of them did not succeed. But this friendship, she still remembers it in her heart.

"Aunt Chen!" Seeing Zhang Cuilian coming over, Aunt Chen greeted her: "Little Lian'er! Where did you come from? ”

Without waiting for Zhang Cuilian to speak, Aunt Chen pouted: "Your mother said that you ran away and haven't been home for several nights!" ”

Zhang Cuilian frowned slightly, feeling a little disappointed. In the end, it's his own mother, as for ruining his reputation. Fortunately, she first went to the Chen family, where gossip news was the most sensitive, and the women who worked here were most willing to have a short time in their parents.

"Nope! I went to stay with my adoptive father for a few days! Zhang Cuilian smiled, and Aunt Chen was stunned: "Huh? What are you doing there? ”

Zhang Cuilian said with a bitter face: "Then what should I do?" My brother burned my notice, so my mom didn't want to sell the broken game console. Where can I go if we quarrel, just go and see my adoptive father and adoptive mother! ”

Seeing everyone's different looks, Zhang Cuilian also knew what they were thinking. After all, it's not themselves, and they all feel that giving birth is greater than nurturing kindness. "By the way, my adoptive father went to our principal. I went to the top to find the sue again, and finally I was able to go to school! ”

Zhang Cuilian put all the credit on Xie Jun's head, which surprised the women around who hadn't been out much.

"Oops! Does your adoptive father still have this ability? Aunt Chen was also happy and a little envious.

"He's not capable, but what a countryman has. He said that he remembered a reason, I was a serious exam, and my score was high, so why can't I go to school. Later, when there was a rule that he couldn't go to that university, he went to the principal of the teacher's college. To say that I have a high score is a bad fate. Ask if you can be admitted exceptionally! Later, the principal of the teacher college agreed, we got the notice yesterday, and I will report tomorrow! ”

Zhang Cuilian praised Xie Jun like a hero, and the women also understood. First of all, Zhang Cuilian studied well enough to get enough scores, and she was admitted to the teacher school exceptionally.

Besides, everyone understands that the teacher college is different from the university. Those who graduated from the teacher college are all teachers, and those who graduated from university can also become doctors and professors.

"Your adoptive father is also a sincere man!" This is what my father should do, but fortunately Zhang Cuilian went to find him. If it was put on Zhang Guangfu's body, even if the principal came to him, he might not be able to figure it out.

After spreading the news, Zhang Cuilian went home relaxed. It was almost noon, and there was no one in the Zhang family at home. At this time, Zhang Cuilian didn't have a key with her, so she had no choice but to go to the uncle's house next door.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a few members of the uncle's family eating, and I was surprised to see Zhang Cuilian coming in with a schoolbag.

Zhang Guangyou hurriedly got up, took a stool and said, "I just went home and didn't eat, come and eat!" ”

Zhang Cuilian shook her head: "No, uncle!" There is no one in our family, and my parents are not going to sell steamed buns, where are all the people? ”

Zhang Guangyou shook his head: "Then I don't know!" Where have you been these two days? ”

Zhang Cuilian's grandfather also nodded: "Yes!" Your mom said you've been running for days and you're not home! ”

Zhang Cuilian felt awkward in her heart, and pretended to be innocent on her face: "My mother said I ran away?" Nope! I'm going to sell that console that day, and that's my money. Xiaojun didn't do it, and my mother didn't distinguish between right and wrong, so she drove me away. She asked me to stay in Linkou Town for two days, and my father Xie happened to pick me up that day! She also talked to my father Xie for a long time! ”

Zhang Guangyou and the others were speechless for a while, they were deceived by this woman again. Zhang Cuilian's grandmother gritted her teeth angrily: "Your mother, that mouth is like a broken car one day." Not for sure! ”

Zhang Cuilin pulled Zhang Cuilian to the dining table, handed her a pair of chopsticks and asked with concern, "What did you say about the school?" Will you go to high school in two days? ”

Zhang Cuilian took the opportunity to tell the news of going to the division college, and also amplified Xie Jun's role in it.

"Look at the family, it's still an adoptive father! Look at your dad, it's really confusing! "Zhang Guangyou has always spoken very strongly, and he came to accuse his younger brother. Zhang Cuilian's grandparents also have nothing to say, although they don't want to admit it, but the second child is really not like talking.

Zhang Cuilian lowered her head and ate two bites of food, when she heard someone arguing next door. This is Zhang Guangfu and his family coming back, but I don't know why they are arguing there.

"Boss! You go and call them both over and ask what's going on! The old man spoke, and Zhang Guangyou just wanted to teach his younger brother a lesson. hurriedly went out and dragged the two of them over.

Zhang Cuilian silently followed to clean up the table and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. She remembered today while she was eating. Xiaojun broke into trouble and broke others, and it was the time to accompany other people's medical expenses.

Thinking that her biological parents were going to do this, she burned her notice for money in her last life. I did bad things in advance in this life, but I still didn't change the trajectory of Xiaojun.

Zhang Cuilian's grandparents heard about something, not only did they not feel sorry for Xiaojun, but complained about the two of them.

Her grandmother pointed at Zhang's mother and scolded her, saying that she was a loving mother and a failure. And my mother's own son is a waste, and her son is badly taught.

Zhang's mother didn't know that Zhang Cuilian was also back, so she put the blame on Zhang Cuilian: "If his sister hadn't quarreled with him, would Xiaojun have been in a bad mood and went out to fight!" ”

Zhang Cuilian couldn't listen to it anymore, and walked into the room and sarcastically said: "Come on, Mom, you're too far-fetched." Xiaojun's gang of boys had already broken people, and they had been in a coma in the hospital for a long time. The kid woke up today, and the police found you! ”

Zhang Guangfu and his family were taken aback, but they didn't expect Zhang Cuilian to be very clear about this.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, everyone understood. This thing is true, Zhang Cuilian's grandfather really can't help it. took off his shoes and threw them at his daughter-in-law: "Do you have any words!" ”

Zhang's mother glared: "How do you know?" Did you already know that? Did you call the police? You want to kill your brother? ”

Zhang Cuilian rolled her eyes: "Pull it down!" I was still on the bus when the accident happened! ”

At this point, Zhang Cuilian had to make up nonsense: "When I was in the car today, I heard two women say that the child who was beaten woke up. As soon as I inquired, I found out that it was my brother and their class, and said that they had been beaten by someone and didn't wake up for several days. ”

Zhang Cuilian looked at everyone's reaction and sneered: "My brother is playing with a group of little bastards, not him, but Li Yuanhe and a few of them." You still need to guess, isn't this just a multiple-choice question! ”

Zhang's mother was silent, and at this time Zhang Guangyou couldn't help asking: "How much do you lose?" ”

Zhang Guangfu squatted on the ground and sighed: "I have more than 100 yuan!" ”

More than 100 yuan, the Zhang family is not without it. Although Zhang Guangfu and his family are lazy, they also know that they have money. After all, Zhang Cuijun's son also spends a lot.
