Chapter 181 - Two Dogs
"Ergouzi, when you go to herd cattle, remember to come back with two loads of wood, but don't go home empty-handed like yesterday, otherwise your father will ask you to take off a layer of skin. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ergouzi heard that the old lady was threatening himself again, so he hurriedly said, "Got it!" ”
At the same time, he immediately opened the door of the bullpen, and when he saw this, the wise old ox looked up at the little master, and immediately went out of the bullpen......
After meeting up with the friends in the village, a group of people drove the cattle to the deep mountains.
Not long after, after arriving at the ground, just as Ergouzi took out a firewood knife and was about to chop firewood to prevent him from being beaten again at night...... The discussion of a few friends suddenly attracted the two dogs!
At the moment, I can't care about going back at night, whether I will be cleaned up by my father again, and I have to listen to it for a while at this time!
Seeing that Ergouzi gave up chopping wood and sat back again, a group of children who played from childhood to adulthood naturally did not exclude him by anything, but instead gave him a place and let Ergouzi also sit in.
"I heard that there is a big school built in the county, and you don't have to pay money to study, on the contrary, you can get a few sets ......of clothes, and you can eat there, and you can eat enough, and my cousin is studying there," the old blacksmith's son Tiewa took the lead.
The children present were all children from poor families, although because of the proximity to the county seat, they were not ignorant of those peers in remote mountainous areas!
But none of them have ever read a book, but the mood of these children yearning for reading is very strong and longing......
Among them, the second dog is almost the most eager person, thinking of his aunt's cousin, who has only studied in a private school for a few years.
As a result, last year, he was favored by a relative who was an innkeeper in the county town and asked him to be a junior in an inn......
remembered the vigor when he came to his home to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year last year, as well as the envy of his parents.
And the words that my grandfather said at the time, 'Now your cousin has become a decent person in the city, and now he has turned over!' ’
Thinking of this, Ergouzi, who couldn't hold back anymore, hurriedly asked Tiewa: "Tiewa, is all this true?" Could it be that you can really study without money, and the most important thing is that you can even have clothes to distribute and you can eat well? ”
Ergouzi also asked the voice of the little friends, so at this moment, all the little playmates also forced Tiewa to continue.
And Tiewa was also very unhappy when he saw that the second dog actually questioned his words, coupled with the pursuit of a group of friends, Tiewa, who was very proud, couldn't help but show off to his partners again!
"You don't believe me? You must know that two days ago, my father took me to the county seat to deliver goods to others, and others told my father. ”
"I was next to me at the time, I heard it clearly, people said that it really doesn't cost money to go to school, it's definitely not a lie, my father has been thinking about it for the past two days, whether to send me in, hey, do you think that reading is fun?"
got the affirmation of Tiewa, and the friends began a heated discussion...... In the meantime, there is everything to say, but because of the problem of knowledge, everyone doesn't know whether going to school is fun or not, is it more fun than herding cattle by yourself?
In this heated debate, Ergouzi stepped aside and did not participate......
At this moment, Ergouzi was thinking in his heart, since that school didn't need money, could he persuade his father and mother to let him go there to study?
So that one day in the future, I will become a city person like my cousin, and then I can also become a decent person in my grandfather's mouth!
Thinking of this, the second dog didn't dare to delay any longer, hurriedly got up, grabbed the firewood knife, and went straight to the low bushes......
Let's cut enough for today's task first, otherwise I'm afraid that I will have to eat a meal of fried meat on a bamboo board at that time, which will hurt a lot, and in my heart, the young second dog has already made up my mind, and after I go back at night, I must tell my father and mother what I think.
Night is coming soon, and all the friends are no longer bragging and playing, but gathering all the scalpers and getting ready to go home!
At this time, Ergouzi clenched his fists and cheered himself up in his heart, he must say his request when he goes home this time.
Thinking of this, he felt that the two dogs, who were full of strength, picked up the wood they had cut before from the ground, followed behind their old cattle, and walked quickly towards home......
After the second dog walked to the house, the family's movements accelerated significantly...... In order to save money on lamp oil, Ergouzi's family had to take advantage of the last glimmer of sunset, hurry up to eat, and after completing everything, go to bed!
It's just that after the two dogs finished eating today, they didn't go to bed immediately in the dark, but said to their father who was smoking dry tobacco and his mother who was washing dishes and chopsticks.
"I want to go to the county to study, I heard that there is a school in the county, not only do you not have to give money to gentlemen, but you can even eat there for free, so that I can also save food rations for my family......"
The request of the second dog instantly solidified the atmosphere in the house!
I don't know how long it took, but in the eyes of Ergouzi's extremely expectant eyes, the old lady finally spoke: "Just concentrate on helping out at home, and you still want to study, do you have that ability?" You're not the stuff for reading at all! Do you know? ”
When Ergouzi heard the old lady say this, almost instantly, his bright eyes dimmed, and he knew that he was afraid that he would be disappointed again this time, and was about to turn around and go back to the house to sleep.
But at this moment, the turning point appeared, and the father knocked the dry tobacco bag on the ground and said: "About the matter of this school, when I was on the street a few days ago, Zhang Lao Er in the next village talked about it......"
"Zhang Lao Er said that there is indeed a school opened by the government in the county, and it really does not charge money, and it also provides free food."
"It's just two dogs, are you sure you really want to go to school? And are you sure you'll be able to read well? If you don't have that faith, you should not go, just stay at home and help, lest you come back halfway through and be embarrassed! ”
Hearing what his father said, Ergouzi nodded hurriedly like pounding onions, and then assured his father and mother: "If we go to that school, we will definitely be able to save an ration for the family, which is a good thing!" ”
"And I heard that the school also gave new clothes, you must know that since we were young, we have never worn new clothes......"
In the end, Ergouzi was still sent to bed by his father, but the voice in the next room still reached Ergouzi's ears clearly.
Mom and Dad have been arguing about whether to send themselves to school!
Originally, the old lady was very opposed, and there was one less helper at home to herd cattle and collect firewood, so I don't know how much trouble it would cause.
Fortunately, my dad persevered, and he wanted to send himself to the county school for an interview!
The second dog heard the last, and the father made the final decision, and he will send himself to the county seat tomorrow, and the second dog fell asleep happily when he heard this!
The next morning, without waiting for his father and mother to urge him, his son got up with a grunt...... In the chatter of the old lady, the father and son finally walked towards the county seat in the morning light.
Fortunately, although the family is in the countryside, the second dog's house is not far from the county seat, and the father and son finally arrived at their destination......
When the father and son finally walked to the school gate under the guidance of others, and were about to inquire again, the teacher who was arranged to come over at the gate to welcome the new students suddenly said to the father and son.
"You baby, it doesn't look like you're ten years old, but you were sent to school?"
Ergouzi's father was a little at a loss and didn't know how to answer......
Maybe it's because I've seen a lot of this situation, and the welcome teacher specially arranged by the school didn't embarrass the father and son, but signed up for the second dog!
After some twists and turns, Ergouzi successfully put on new clothes, but this dress is a little big and doesn't fit well, but Ergouzi doesn't care about all this!
After receiving all the daily necessities, distributing the beds, and doing all the chores, the excited Ergouzi didn't even go to the school gate to see off his father.
Instead, under the guidance of the logistics staff, he rushed over to find his classroom......
Today is the third day of school, but Ergouzi is still very curious about everything, soap and other daily necessities that have never been at home before, and don't talk about it!
Just talking about the food in this school, it makes the second dog very satisfied, from a small to such a big age, the number of times the second dog has eaten meat, that can be counted, there are not a few times at all.
But after only three days of coming to this school, Ergouzi happily ate a meal of meat, although it was not much, but at least it could ensure that everyone ate a few bites......
What's more, there are these new clothes, as well as the fact that there is no need to work every day, and there are even more friends to play with, all of which makes Ergouzi a little happy, and he doesn't want to go home at all!
But the happiness of the second dog did not last long, and soon, the second dog felt how happy it was to herd cattle at home!
Because it has been three days since he entered school, the school no longer implements a free-range policy for Ergouzi, but begins to force him to read and write......
“a……”
The teacher read pinyin aloud to everyone on the podium, and the second dog was forced to shake his head below helplessly, just shaking and shaking, but falling asleep!
"Bang!"
When Zhang Yun set up the school, he didn't say that teachers were not allowed to physically punish students, so at this moment, the teacher on the podium slapped the blackboard hard and woke up the two dogs.
He walked over in an instant, directly grabbed the neck of the second dog, and threw it outside the classroom......
So, the second dog, who was very happy two or three days ago, joined very honorably and went to the crowd running outside!
