Chapter Thirty-Seven: Going to the City to Study
At dawn the next day, everything is as usual, the bricks should be burned, the prefabricated slabs should be made, anyway, there is no one who is idle, since Jianguo drew the planning map of building houses in the village, Fugui has been thinking about building houses day and night, Jianguo also helps Fugui up and down, so as to reduce the burden on Fugui.
Now, let's take a little space and talk about Zhang Shaoping and Zhang Shaoan.
We already know that Shaoping and Shao'an are studying in Qilongzhen Primary School, and since Shaoping and Shao'an came to Qilongzhen Primary School to study, there are more and more things in their minds, and learning has become a part of their lives.
Zhang Shaoping and Zhang Shaoan are twins, they look exactly the same, no matter how you look at it, you can't see any difference, although the appearance is so similar, but the personalities of the two dolls are very different.
Zhang Shaoping and Zhang Shao'an have been under the teaching of Chinese teacher Liu Qing, the learning of the two dolls has developed rapidly, and every final exam is the first or second place in the class, the golden certificates and prizes are placed everywhere in the house, the dark walls are full of their awards, the drawers of the shiny wooden table are full of their prizes, and Li Jianmei, a woman, sees the awards on the wall every time, even if she is tired and tired, she feels that it is all worth it.
Time flies long and fast, Zhang Shaoping and Zhang Shao'an, two brothers, were admitted to the county No. 1 middle school with their excellent results, which is the best middle school in the county and the most coveted middle school for many children in the township.
Now Zhang Shaoping and Zhang Shao'an two brothers were admitted to the county No. 1 middle school, and they will no longer go back and forth between Qilong Town and Zhangjia Village every day like they did in elementary school. Fugui's heart is more or less steady.
But Li Jianmei, a woman, doesn't think so, after all, Shaoping and Shao'an are two pieces of heart meat that fell from him, and this will not be better than studying in Qilong Town in the future, and you can see it every day, although the current traffic is also convenient, you can go to the bus station to take the car to the county seat, but the work of raising pigs and feeding chickens at home is inseparable from her, and all she can do for the dolls is to let them go to the county seat to study without leaving some daily necessities.
Although the situation of Zhangjia Village is getting better and better, but they are also diligent and thrifty, after all, the villagers are worried when they have no money, and they are worried when they have money.
Li Jianmei called Shaoping and Shao'an to herself, and said to them with a smile: "Shaoping, Shao'an, now that your brothers have grown up, they are about to go to the county seat to study in middle school, and my mother doesn't know what to prepare for you, but there must be a lot of money in the county, and my mother has saved some savings on weekdays, and my mother will give it to you, don't be wronged by your brothers in the county, go buy a new set of clothes when you are free, don't let the people in the city laugh at us." ”
Li Jianmei said as she spoke, she reached out and took out thirty-one yuan from her purse and handed it to Zhang Shaoping, Shaoping couldn't bear to ask Li Jianmei for money, after all, he knew that the money in his mother's hands was squeezed out of his own teeth on weekdays, he took a step back, shook his head, and said: "Mom, Dad has already given us tuition and living expenses, so you can pretend to have this money by yourself!" ”
Li Jianmei knew that Shaoping was distressed about herself, but she also knew that she couldn't do anything if she didn't have money to study in the city, it cost money to drink water and food, and she might even have to charge for going to the toilet on the street, so she forced the money into Shaoping's purse.
Shaoping knew his mother's intentions, and he couldn't say anything more, so he pursed his lips and said to himself secretly: "This time I must study hard when I go to the county to study, and strive to get a good score in the exam to repay my mother and father." ”
When Zhang Shaoping and Zhang Shaoan went to the county No. 1 Middle School, the two brothers picked a red and white thick wire net pocket that was cleaned by their mother, and inside were two basins, an enamel cup, a bamboo shell hot water bottle, an aluminum lunch box, two enamel bowls, a few pairs of chopsticks, a lot of books, and a straw mat tied outside; Behind them is a bundle of quilts and an old school bag, which they still used when they were in elementary school, except for not many clothes throughout the year, that is, books and stationery.
The two brothers carried heavy luggage, walked through the Eagle Mountain, flowed across the Tianshui River, and then walked from the mud path for a short time to the Dragon Town Bus Station, the two brothers bought tickets and took the bus, the bus drove slowly, Zhang Shaoping and Zhang Shao'an The two brothers quietly looked out the window, looking at the place where they had studied and survived for many years, there were their childhood laughter, their spring, summer, autumn and winter round-trip footprints, and the tears and sweat they sprinkled.
They were about to say goodbye to everything here and go to study in that big environment they didn't know about the county, which made them feel more or less happy and proud.
The bus was a little bumpy along the way, Shao'an couldn't stand it, his throat was a little nauseous, he opened the window and looked out of the window and vomited, Shaoping slowly patted his back with his hand, in order to make him feel better, a few hours later, the bus slowly drove into the county bus station.
Zhang Shaoping and his younger brother Zhang Shao'an continued to carry their luggage and belongings to ask passers-by to walk to the county No. 1 Middle School, along the way the two brothers walked on the asphalt-paved road, the air was filled with the smell of asphalt, looking at the crowd coming and going in the streets and alleys, the three-story small bungalow standing in front of them looked bright and bright, the two brothers were stunned and relaxed, they walked straight to the county No. 1 Middle School, for fear of delaying the report.
Coming to County No. 1 Middle School, everything here always seemed so fascinating, compared to their previous Dragon Riding Town Primary School, it was a heaven and an underground.
Zhang Shaoping and Zhang Shao'an, two brothers, came to the report office with luggage and belongings, most of the people queuing up at the report office were the children of urban workers, only his brothers were dressed in shabby clothes and carried a number of luggage items, when people in the city saw the countrymen, their eyes would always reveal a kind of unremitting and contemptuous eyes, Shaoping and Shao'an ignored them, because he and his younger brother came to the county No. 1 Middle School to study, not to make them look down, he was not afraid of their unremitting vision.
Just as Shaoping and Shao arranged the team to report their names, and were about to rush to the dormitory with the dormitory strip and key, a girl dressed fresh and refined came to meet her, her hair fluttered in the breeze in the breeze, she was elegant and vulgar, with a light and spiritual aura, delicate skin, leisurely demeanor, beautiful eyes, peach cheeks with a smile, words without spitting, breath like a quiet orchid, indescribably gentle and lovely.
Zhang Shaoping and Zhang Shao'an were dumbfounded, they had never seen such a good-looking girl, that feeling made the blood continue to surge, this feeling was ignorant to Zhang Shaoping and Zhang Shaoan when they were teenagers, they didn't know why they had this feeling, this feeling continued in the body and lasted for a long time.
The girl's name is An Yuran, she is the daughter of the director of the county education bureau, An Yuran has been pampered since she was a child, plus she is an only child, so her parents always treat her as a princess, as long as she likes something from childhood to adulthood, her parents will always promise her, but she is a little different from the daughter of ordinary people, she likes to read, this kind of like is deep in the bone marrow, it may be because her mother is a Chinese teacher in the county No. 1 middle school, and secondly, she never bullies the weak because of her family background.
She saw Zhang Shaoping and Zhang Shao'an for the first time, the two brothers, generally people in the city look down on the countryside the most, and they will always stay away from them, but she does not completely underestimate Zhang Shaoping and the two brothers. There seems to be something very unusual about these poor brothers, and she can't tell what it is. In addition, although his brothers are not very beautiful, they are very characteristic in appearance, tall, with a straight nose, a masculine tenacity on their faces, and gloomy and deep eyes.
Shaoping and Shao'an just looked at her for a while and then rushed to the dormitory building with their luggage, and after registering in the dormitory building, his brothers continued to carry their luggage and belongings to the room, the dormitory building of the county No. 1 middle school is divided into four rooms or eight rooms, and students with good family conditions are basically arranged to four rooms, while children from the countryside or children who live in the city without conditions can only be squeezed into eight rooms.
Although the eight-person room is crowded, but in addition to being a little crowded, the other infrastructure is also relatively complete, the only difference is that the toilet is at the end of the dormitory building, which is public, unlike the current toilets are independent, but this is not too bad for country children from the countryside.
After Shaoping and Shao'an made the bed, they reached the meal, the two brothers took the aluminum lunch box and a pair of bamboo chopsticks and walked to the canteen, the meals in the canteen are divided into A, B, C and other dishes, these A and other dishes are two meat and one vegetarian, there is meat to eat, this B and other dishes are one meat and two vegetarian, more or less a little oil and water, this C and other dishes are a little unsatisfactory, there are only two vegetarian dishes, and the vegetarian dishes are cabbage and radish.
The children of rich families in the county eat A-class dishes, and the children from the township can only play C-and other dishes to fill their stomachs, and the money on the two brothers Shaoping and Shao'an is enough to eat A-class dishes, but the villagers are used to the simple, thrifty and thrifty habits in their bones, so the two brothers just took the lunch box and played the two C-class dishes, which is not enough to eat at all for the two brothers who are growing up, and they can't eat enough, but there is no way, the two brothers don't want to spend money, and they want to save money to reduce some burden for the family.
