The bedding and daily necessities were carried home by Katsuo, and the brother and sister took a shuttle bus to the county seat. This was their first time here, and although the county seat was not large, it was full of buildings and the streets were bustling with people. Vegetable sellers, candy sellers, and basin sellers...... the shouts of carrying burdens through the streets and alleys; The sound of sharpening knives and scissors, and collecting waste products is also very loud; You can also see the uncle who picks up dung, with a towel on his shoulder, flickering across the main street; The most conspicuous thing is that in addition to the Pingli Hotel, there is also a cinema, I don't know how many people can be accommodated in it, and it looks larger than several units of the district office combined.

The two of them walked excitedly and looked at the clothes in the roadside clothing store, the toys in the toy store, and the trendy shoes in the shoe store. Asking passers-by, the direction of the school is easy to find, and when I walked into the school gate, I was even more stunned.

The school is spacious and magnificent, with lush greenery, and the middle and high school buildings are separated, with a large playground and a rich content of bulletin boards and newspapers. Looking at the signs: libraries, laboratory buildings, canteens, dormitory buildings, office buildings, and teaching buildings are clearly distributed. If you can really study here, you have to thank Principal Yuan. Further inside the school gate, there is a circular flower bed, and among the evergreen trees and cypress trees stands a bronze statue of a great man, who is Liao Qianwu.

Liao Qianwu is the only pioneer of the early Chinese revolution who went out from the depths of Bashan, he is Ye Ting's old superior, He Long's introduction to the party, the first member of the Communist Party of China in Shaanxi Province, and more importantly, Pingli people, which is an example of pride and tribute for all Pingli people. In the past, I heard a lot of stories about wars, but those were false and real, but only the story of Liao Qianwu went down in history, and he made great contributions to the establishment and consolidation of the revolutionary base area in Guangdong, the victory of the Northern Expedition and the Nanchang Uprising, and was a proletarian revolutionary and military strategist in China.

Sheng Li bowed three times to the bronze statue of Liao Qianwu, and Sheng Yang said that it was important to find the director of academic affairs, and it was very troublesome to transfer schools halfway, and it was still unknown whether he could read it, and he was afraid that he would bring too little money. Sheng Li said that the bronze statue stands in the most conspicuous position at the entrance gate, which warns the students not to forget the first grace. Shengyang said that after becoming a student of this school, he could worship every day, and Shengli was stubborn about the reverence for the real great man, how could he care about such a little effort.

At this time, it was class time, and occasionally teachers walked by in the school, Sheng Li ran to a female teacher to ask where the academic affairs office was, and the female teacher pointed out the direction, and just saw the director of the academic affairs office walking behind them, so she introduced them. They thanked the female teacher and followed the director into the office. Shengyang said that he asked him for help with the transfer, and handed him the transfer application, and the director approved it after reading it.

The brother and sister felt that things were too easy, and they had heard that it was particularly difficult for countrymen to come to the county seat to do things, and it was indispensable to stuff money and give gifts, Shengyang touched the red envelope in his pocket, and was a little ashamed. Seeing that they were at a loss, the director explained in detail that there was a student in the third and fifth classes of junior high school who was sick and had to take a semester off, and there happened to be an empty seat. They thanked one after another. The director said that he saw their actions in front of the bronze statue of Liao Qianwu just now, and this was the first time he had seen students take the initiative to bow to the revolutionary martyrs in many years since he entered the school, and he began to think that they were from Liao Qianwu's hometown of Baxian District.

The two thanked each other and walked out, and Shengyang secretly said that he didn't expect her small gesture to help her. Sheng Li said that she was grateful to the director just now, he seemed to be very cultured and amiable, about the same age as Principal Yuan, but he gave people a sense of security and admiration. Shengyang asked her to cherish this hard-won opportunity and never make trouble again, she smiled and raised her hand, made a salute gesture, and promised Liao Qianwu that she would study hard and let him rest assured.

Shengyang can't take her, I hope she can really change her ways, and she can be ranked in front with a little hard work according to her brain. It seems to be a blessing in disguise, those people scolded her, just like he was bullied when he was a child, but he just cried, wronged, escaped, begged for mercy, and never dared to resist.

He took out the red envelope in the bag and gave it to her, saying that it was saved by herself, and she took it for living expenses, Shengli asked him to keep it, the money in his pocket was enough, this was reading and not shopping. He was a little embarrassed, saying that some people in the district office obviously don't give gifts or do things, like Zhu Yougui is a typical example. She didn't reason with him anymore, and took the certificate to the head of the third grade.

When the director of the Academic Affairs Office saw them leaving, he called the head of the third grade of the junior high school, saying that Zheng Shengli, who was waiting for the report, had been arranged by him personally, and that he was not allowed to persuade him to quit no matter what others said, and the team leader agreed again and again.

Before they arrived, the director of the Academic Affairs Office received a call from the principal, saying that they should not admit any more transfer students, especially those with bad morals, and pointed out Zheng Shengli's confused response. But when I saw this child, I found that her character was not bad, especially for her disabled brother, and there was no dislike and disrespect. The child is the future of the motherland, and it cannot be turned away for individual reasons, let her go to school first, and if it is really hopeless, it is not too late to expel her.

Sheng Li was arranged to the third and fifth classes of junior high school, which was an ordinary class, and Sheng Yang felt that as long as his sister was willing to read, it would be fine. The quality of education in the county is many times stronger than that in the district, and it should be no problem to be admitted to high school, as long as she works hard to earn money, she can finish college. Today's incident is also a lesson that Shengli and the director jointly taught him, in this world, not everything has to be solved with money, in the final analysis, a person's excellent quality is the most valuable wealth.

After settling down, Shengyang left the county seat, and told her to study hard, and she hooked with him to ensure that she completed the task, and couldn't let him be verbose anymore. Shengyang looked at the county seat, although there was a big gap with the outside, but it was also a waste to be rebuilt. Sheng Li was right, he should go out to work in construction and then come back to work as a contractor and make a lot of money.

They said goodbye to each other, and the scene of laughter all the way was seen by Liang Xiaobin, who came to school from home, he was a student in the key class of the third year of junior high school. It was the first time that I was moved by such a scene, and my sister happily surrounded my one-eyed brother, as brilliant as a flower, as soft as a spring breeze, and as warm as the winter sun. His life circle is very narrow, and he rarely looks up at the scenery at home, school, and on the road, just like this, it is deeply engraved in his mind, and he can't help but laugh with them until he can't see the two of them.

Sitting on the shuttle bus back to the river, Shengyang remembered the hard days in the coal mine, and seemed to have forgotten how he survived, working overtime every day, desperately pulling the car and digging coal, just to earn a few more yuan to send home. I couldn't stand it at first, and my shoulders, palms, and soles of my feet were all filled with bubbles. When you are tired, you can fall asleep by a wall, live in a shed, a bunch of men, like sleeping in a kennel.

He was bullied at the beginning, and he was already very tired, and those men in their 30s also asked him to cook, wash dishes, wash feet, and massage. Later, because the villagers protected him, he got into a group fight with them. He didn't want to make a big deal, so he often kept some trauma medicine around him, and immediately took it out for them when he encountered someone in need, and told them some taboos and common sense of prevention.

Gradually, there were fewer people who discriminated against him, and more people liked him, and occasionally took the initiative to help him. When he was resting, everyone bought vegetables, and he made some good dishes, which won the favor of the workers, and even the mine head liked his food and praised him for his ability.

During this period, he secretly shed tears and was sad, but when he thought of what his grandfather told him, he should be grateful for life. said that the age of five in his life was a turning point, if the serious illness was not injured in the eye, maybe he would have died, and if he did not die, there would be a blessing in the future. There is no difference between the world seen with one eye and two eyes, everyone in the world will experience ups and downs and difficulties, to learn the stream, twists and turns, bumps and bumps, and is always silent, and finally merges into the ocean.

The mine where he works and the mines near the border often kills people, and every time he is scared, he has nightmares and is terrified. Therefore, being able to wait peacefully until sunset or to see the morning sun is the happiest thing for them. Worrying day after day, looking forward to it day after day, every time I get a salary, I feel that a better life is one step closer.

Now that he is really gone, the Dungan Coal Mine is also a time worth remembering, many strong men are illiterate, write letters to him to write, and listen to him tell the story of his grandfather and Liu Sheng, Zhou Qian's jokes. A few years have passed in a hurry, alive and earning money, and some fearful scenes should also be forgotten.

Everything in the family is taken care of by the eldest mother, and he contacts Wang Cheng, a fellow villager in Hangzhou, and embarks on another part-time job journey alone. Wang Cheng is in a brigade with them, more than ten years older than him, he is one of the most beautiful men in the team, as powerful as an ox, but unfortunately his family is poor, he has never studied, and he also went to the coal kiln before, and then felt that the risk was too great, so he followed a worker in Sichuan to Zhejiang to do construction. He is introverted, but he is tall and ugly, and with his blood, Fang just married a beautiful wife named Wu Qiuling, so he is often ridiculed in the team, saying that he walked shit and lucked a good cabbage.

Qiu Ling was originally reluctant to marry Wang Cheng, at least find a rich family based on her appearance, but Wang became her mother's five earthen wall tile houses and made a lot of efforts, and after working for a few months, her father forced her to marry. Although I have never had a hard time when I got married, I am always unwilling. In the absence of a good way out, you can only make do.
