In the evening of that day, after dinner in the yard, Zhicheng helped his mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks as usual. Wang Dejian lit the dry cigarette he rolled, took a deep breath and said to his son: "Zhicheng! In three or five days, it will be the day for the new students to register. In the past few days, I have discussed with your mother, and no matter what you say, you can't bend your talents. We have to go back to this high school. In a few days, let's sign up......"

"Dad, I said I wouldn't go on a long time ago, and I didn't know anything about the situation at home. Besides, it's not a reluctant thing, what do we expect? If you sell your home, you won't be able to graduate from high school! I'm not too old to always let you die all day for me. Besides, I'm not the only farmer. Zhicheng held back the tears in his eyes and did not flow out.

The old man sighed, took four or five puffs of dry tobacco in a row, and choked on his usual cough. What the son said was not, a sentence touched his internal organs.

"Hey, it's all my fault that your mother and I are incompetent. Dad has a little ability, and he won't let you be wronged like this. Dad knows that you are a strong child, and our village has not yet had a city focus, so you have not embarrassed your parents. Although our family is poor, we can't ruin your future because of this mistaken study! Tomorrow Dad will go to the market and sell all the goats in the family. In addition, there are also rows of big poplars in the field, all of which are also mature, and I was going to sell them for you to build a house for when you got married! The old man said as he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and twisted it on his tiptoes, hoping that he could not immediately prepare for his son's tuition.

Zhiwei thought that his parents were not ready to provide for him to go to high school, but his father suddenly insisted on letting him go to high school. For a while, he was at a loss, because he had completely given up high school in his heart.

"Dad, it's not a problem of 2,700 yuan at all! I don't know how many 2,700 yuan I have to use after the third year of high school. What's more, there are still four years of college, I'm afraid it will cost tens of thousands! We can't get up at all, so I'll help you work at home as soon as possible! ”

Before Zhicheng finished speaking, Zhu Xiuchun, who came out of the kitchen, said while untying his apron: "Son! Don't worry about your family, let alone money. Mom also knows that it costs a lot of money to go to school, but what can I do if I don't go to school? We have to go to this high school, my mother has been blind all her life, but she knows the difficulties of being uneducated. Hey, the more developed this is, the more you do it, and you can't do anything without culture! It's not a good idea to have no culture these days. So, whether we go to college or not, let's finish high school first, and even if we can't go to college, we can go outside to learn some technical work. You can't work without culture! In short, take one step at a time! Don't worry about your family, Mom knows that you are a good child who is sensible, and your parents understand your thoughts. Great! Go ahead! In the countryside, only going to school is the only way out......"

After listening to his mother's words, Zhicheng couldn't cry anymore. He held his mother's hand tightly, shouted with tears in his eyes: "Mom......" and then grinned, threw himself into his mother's arms and cried.

Zhu Xiuchun also followed to wipe her tears, and at the same time hugged the lone seedling she had been for most of her life and persuaded kindly: "Okay! Don't cry, oh! She patted her son on the back and wiped her tears lovingly. That subtle movement fully reflects the breadth and vigor of kindness and maternal love. I believe anyone who sees this scene will be moved.

Zhu Xiuchun stroked her son's cheeks back and forth with her rough hands to comfort her, although her son is taller than her now, but in the eyes of his mother, he will always be a child who will not grow up......

In the few nights before signing up, Zhicheng lost sleep. Although he realized his dream of entering the market, he was not happy at all, because he understood what it would mean for him to go to high school. It means that the parents are tired and tired, and it means that the parents are cows and horses.

What a contribution I have made to this family! It's a lot of effort! Let the parents be so exhausted for themselves.

Especially when he learned that Xu Cuihuan, the city's key first-class student, had dropped out of school, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Three days later, the whole family woke up early in the morning. Zhu Xiuchun was busy making breakfast, and Zhicheng squatted in the firewood pile to help his mother make the pot. Wang Dejian carefully sorted out the money he made last night, 19 of 100, 7 of 50, and 14 of 20. The others are all 10 of 5 and a bunch of coins. Most of the 100 yuan in change was earned by selling vegetables during this time. He wrapped layer after layer of handy bags......

After breakfast, Zhicheng pushed out the broken bicycle he had when he was in junior high school. He originally planned to carry his father there, but Wang Dejian felt that the distance was too far, so he temporarily borrowed a bicycle from a neighbor. In this way, Zhicheng and his father went to Hechang City with the 2,700 yuan that swept away the entire family.

This is also the first time Zhicheng has gone far away, and he must be excited and excited to change someone else. Ke Zhicheng's mood was not only not excited, but a little heavy and painful. He looked at his father's aging figure due to years of hard work, and couldn't help but wet his eyes with tears several times.

The father and son rode bicycles for more than two hours to come to the bustling city of Hechang. I saw high-rise buildings standing in front of me, busy traffic, and a flow of people, and traffic lights were set up at every intersection. The cars in the middle of the road were one after another, and Wang Dejian kept guessing whose cars they were. He had been to the county seat at most before, and had never been to the city.

The father and son stopped on the side of the road and wanted to find someone to ask, which direction and from which road was Hechang No. 1 Middle School? I saw a group of electric cars speeding by, and it was difficult to find even a person walking. In the end, the two pushed their bicycles to a shoe repair stall on the side of the road, and respectfully asked the old man with bad legs. The shoe repairer smiled very kindly and pointed out the direction to the father and son, and told them which way to walk closer.

"Hehe, if you look at it, you are not local, otherwise there is no one who doesn't know Hechang Yizhong. That school is the pride of the entire Hechang City, not to mention the whole province, it is the top high school in the country. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be a prestigious university in the future. The young man is ambitious, and you are also blessed, brother. The old man praised the father and son while nailing the soles of his shoes.

Wang Dejian was praised and his heart was happy. Zhicheng also smiled and said, "Uncle, thank you for showing us the way." In fact, we live in Haiyang County, which is not too far away, but we have never been to Hechang. In addition, you have won the prize, and I took the second ranking. ”

The shoemaker stopped what he was doing and said proudly: "My girl was admitted to the second list that year, and she was directly admitted to Zhejiang University from Hechang No. 1 Middle School the year before last. As long as you don't spend a lot of money to get in, you will be profitable in the future. He was talking about a middle-aged woman coming over to fix her high heels.

The father and son were afraid of affecting their business, so they thanked them with a smile on their faces and left the shoe repair stall. After several inquiries along the way, they found a place. In the past, Hechang Yizhong was just a beautiful legend, but now the father and son have witnessed the true face of Hechang Yizhong for the first time.

Neither of them could believe that this was a school in front of them. In the eyes of De Laohan, this is a magnificent palace. This is an independent kingdom.

As for how luxurious and huge this key school is. We'll talk about it in the next chapter, and you might be stunned after reading it. If you don't believe it, compare it with the high school you once attended, and see who is better......
