"Let's raise a glass to celebrate my son's admission to City No. 1 Middle School!" This middle-aged man had a big belly, his face was red, there were several empty liquor bottles at his feet, and he was holding a glass of liquor in his hand, and he toasted everyone present.

The sumptuous banquet in front of him was organized to celebrate his son's admission to the city's No. 1 Middle School, and the dinner table was full of relatives and friends.

The people here are all red-faced. Someone in the family is in the limelight, and he can more or less come to get some light, can he not be happy?

"Here,! When your kid comes out and goes to a good university, don't forget about us! ”

"That's that, I can't forget, I'm my own brother, I hope everyone will take care of me when I go to high school!"

The child's father is away from home all the year round, and if the child has anything to do at school, he still has to count on his relatives to help and send some clothes. Although it is not a big deal, a meal is also indispensable, so it is simply put together with the child's celebration banquet.

Cheers emanated from the hotel and spread all the way down the street outside the hotel.

Yu Wenxiao was walking slowly on the street, and when he heard this cheer, he couldn't help but glance over there, but his heart was mixed.

It seems to be his classmates, to be precise, his former classmates. Yu Wenxiao has dropped out of school, and he quit before the high school entrance examination, so he is not a classmate now.

Although I thought so in my heart, the pace of the rush still did not stop, they were admitted to that was their business, and it had nothing to do with themselves, and they had to rush to the station early, and there was not much time left before the departure at this time.

Why go for a ride? Of course, I went to work outside. This is still what Yu's father meant.

"Bang dang!" Yu's father didn't hold the cup in his hand, and fell to the ground hard, Yu's father was not at home, he went to the field early in the morning, and the cup fell on the ground, making a loud noise, but fortunately, it didn't break.

Yu's father picked up the phone with his other hand, but fortunately he reacted quickly and caught the phone, without causing a miserable scene like a cup.

My brain was buzzing, my head was still dizzy, and the field in front of me seemed to be spinning. Yu's father groped for a ridge and sat down, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on and fall down.

"Hello? Feed? Is it still there, please? Feed? The person on the mobile phone saw that Yu's father didn't respond for a long time, and he was a little impatient.

"Huh? I...... I'm still here. Yu's father hurriedly answered the phone, for fear that the other party would hang up the phone directly.

"Hello, we have confirmed Yu Wenxiao's matter, and I believe your son will explain it to you after you meet, there are still some procedures on the school side, and you need to come and apply for it in person."

"Oh, okay, sorry, sorry for the trouble." Yu's father hurriedly compensated for some good words, but the other party didn't appreciate it, and forcibly hung up the phone without saying a word.

"Alas......" Yu's father let out a long breath, and his right hand holding the mobile phone slowly put it on his lap, the soul had not returned, and he still couldn't accept the other party's words.

"Hello, your child Yu Wenxiao dropped out of school."

When he received the call, Yu's father was still busy working in his farmland, working from 5 o'clock in the morning to more than 1 o'clock in the afternoon now, and he didn't even bother to eat lunch, but suddenly received a call saying that his child was no longer reading.

The tiredness of the day did not break him, because he still had hope and a bright future in his heart. However, this call was the final blow that shattered his hopes, and this sentence completely crushed him.

His hopes and motivation were completely shattered.

Yu's father was relieved on the ridge for a long time and did not come to his senses, until Yu's mother found the field and saw that he had not come home for lunch, and was a little worried. But when I arrived here, I only saw Dad Yu's eyes stunned, looking absent-minded, and the water cup at his feet was also turned over on the ground, and the water in it had already run out. The work in the fields was also done strangely, and the farm tools were placed on the land, which was obviously not finished.

"What's wrong?" Yu's mother walked next to Yu's father and touched him carefully, Yu's father was still like that, he didn't move, and he didn't speak, if it weren't for Yu's father blinking from time to time, Yu's mother really thought that Yu's father would go.

After touching it several times, there was still no response, Yu's mother was anxious, grabbed his shoulders and shook him vigorously.

After a long time, Yu's father said softly, "Xiao Yu dropped out of school......"

The voice was really small, and Yu's mother didn't hear anything, "What? Who? What's wrong? Say it louder, you can't hear it. ”

"Smack!" A teardrop the size of a bean smashed on the ground, startling Yu's mother.

"Xiao Yu, he's dropped out of school, and he won't study......" The voice was a little more hoarse than the previous one, but it was also much hoarse.

Yu's mother barely heard it, but she looked surprised, "What...... How so? Who do you listen to? ”

Yu's father raised the mobile phone in his hand at her, "The school leader just called." ”

The two sat together on the ridge at the edge of the field, not saying a word, and occasionally one of them would hide his face and cry, but it didn't take long for him to get better.

Sometimes there is a passerby on the side of the path, and when I see them like this, I am not embarrassed to ask, but I still walk silently.

The two of them were there and let the time pass, and after a long time, Yu's father stood up first, and the redness and swelling on his eyes still did not disappear, and it was still relatively obvious. glanced at Yu's mother, pulled her up again, and the two of them supported each other and walked in the direction of home. Yu's father forgot all the farm tools placed in the farmland, and his mind was full of things about his son's withdrawal from school.

Until they got home, neither of them said a word, but they actually thought the same thing in their hearts.

After casually eating a cold meal at home, Yu's father grabbed the electric car key placed on the bedside table in the bedroom, rode the electric tricycle at the door and left.

He also has to go to school to pick up his son back, and by the way, he will complete the application, if he can, Yu's father actually wants Xiaoyu to return to school.

When Yu's father rushed to the school, facing his son, the two of them looked at each other with big eyes, and they didn't say a word. One didn't dare to say it, and the other didn't know what to say.

I don't know how long such an embarrassing scene lasted, but Yu Wenxiao opened his mouth first, "Dad, I dropped out of school......"

"Smack!" Before the words were finished, a slap print had already appeared on Xiao Yu's face. It's dinner break now, and there are many classmates around, a few of whom Xiao Yu knows, so he was slapped in front of his acquaintances, Xiao Yu just clenched his fists tightly, and his teeth trembled slightly.

The people around them were also interested, and they all quickly dispersed, except for a few students who didn't know what was going on to glance curiously, but left immediately.

After Yu's father beat him, he still didn't say a word, took Yu Wenxiao's hand and dragged it to the principal's office.

"I ...... I'm not going! Yu Wenxiao quickly broke free from Yu's father and refused to Yu's father loudly.

Yu's father was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't leave him to care, and walked towards the principal by himself, leaving Yu Wenxiao standing alone in place.

Yu Wenxiao went later, and after grinding for a long time, the door of the principal's office was not closed, and he struggled for a long time, but he still didn't have the courage to go in. I had to hide a little away from the office, where I could see a little bit through the crack in the door, not too much, and I couldn't see anything.

Anyway, he couldn't see the scene inside, Yu Wenxiao was bored leaning against the wall of the corridor, thinking about the game. He looked up and casually glanced at the crack in the door.

There's a guy left......

It can't be said that he is full of white hair, but the gray hair on Yu's father's head is really not small, only a few hairs are still black, and this man who looks at his age is no longer young, he is bowing over and over again in front of the principal sitting at the table, and every word the principal says is respectful, whether it is contempt or ridicule, even if it is handed to himself in an abusive way, he must take it with a smile on his face.

The principal sat on the office chair with a complicated expression, pointed at Yu's father with his index finger and scolded, but Yu's father didn't dare to say anything, and bowed over and over again.

Later, I didn't know what Dad Yu asked, but the principal was directly angry, and even the swear words popped out, and the table also clattered. Dad Yu hurriedly stepped forward to explain, but was pushed by the principal, Dad Yu didn't stand firm, and sat down on the ground directly, the principal was stunned for a moment, got up and left the office.

Yu Wenxiao outside the door had already been hidden, and the principal didn't find him when he came out. After waiting for a while, Yu's father came out of the office, holding a few pieces of A4 paper in his hand, and it seemed that he had already written the application.

Yu Wenxiao stood in place, the two hands in front of him didn't know how to put them, so they had to buckle each other, and they couldn't open their mouths to say a few words, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.

Yu's father walked over and touched Xiao Yu's head, "It's okay Xiao Yu, give it to your father, you can rest assured, we can go home after this seal is stamped." ”

Yu Wenxiao felt a little regretful at this time, and he suddenly found that he was able to come to this school thanks to Yu's father's help, and the family was even almost bankrupt. But in exchange for all this, the first year of junior high school was isolated, the second year of junior high school gradually began to give up studying, and the third year of junior high school went out to surf the Internet all night, and learning or something had long been thrown out of the clouds.

"I hope you don't regret it."

Lao Bai's words suddenly sounded in his mind, he trembled violently, and his heartbeat accelerated instantly.

But all this is irreparable......

Yu Wenxiao sat in the back seat of the tricycle, and when he looked up, he could see the stars in the sky, but he was not in the mood. Yu's father rode in front and didn't talk to his son.

There are more chickens, ducks and dogs in every household in the countryside, and Yu's father honked the horn several times just to drive away these chickens, ducks and dogs who accidentally ran onto the road.

"Xiaoyu, no matter what you do, let it pass, Dad won't blame you. The road ahead is up to you. Dad Yu still didn't look back, but in Yu Wenxiao's eyes, the omnipotent father in front of him suddenly ...... It seems to be old......

When he arrived at home, it was also very ordinary, no one mentioned dropping out of school, and he didn't say that he was going to work or anything, but early the next morning, Xiao Yu went to the farmland with Yu's father. Yesterday's land was not finished, today the two of them worked together, and the speed of work was also fast, when the hoe smashed into the land, picked it up again, and smashed it again to the land, Xiaoyu's heart didn't know where to stay?

There were also a few acquaintances on the road who were curious about why Xiao Yu didn't go to school, Xiao Yu was embarrassed to answer, but Yu's father replied very heartily and dropped out of school!

Those people just smiled, and then politely comforted a few words and left. Children in the countryside, when it is time to accept their fate, they still have to accept their fate and change their lives against the sky? It's still not very realistic after all.

No matter how you say a fairy tale, it is still very different from reality, the story is always a story, he still will not become a reality, many times, we just need a buffer to accept reality.

I get up earlier than the sun every day, sleep later than the moon, have my back to the sun, face the earth, and my clothes are always dry and wet, wet and dry. Summer is approaching, and although it is hot, it is also the busiest time.

Because Xiao Yu can help together now, the work is much easier than when Yu's father did it alone, and soon the family's field will be almost completed. Dad Yu can also go out to find odd jobs, as for Xiao Yu, Dad Yu doesn't really want him to go with him.

"Dad, there are still two acres of land left in the family, and it will be almost noon tomorrow." At dinner, Yu Wenxiao reported the situation in the field to Yu's father.

"Hmm......" Yu's father listened absent-mindedly, he was thinking about other things in his heart, and Xiao Yu couldn't listen to what he said at all.

Yu Wenxiao was also very knowledgeable, seeing that his father didn't react, he didn't say anything anymore, and silently ate with vegetables.

There are only two of them in the family, father and son, and Yu's mother is working overtime tonight, and dinner is also eaten in the factory.

"Xiaoyu."

"Huh?"

"You're going to think about going out to work, right?"

Yu Wenxiao's chopsticks, which were about to pick up vegetables, stopped in mid-air.

In fact, he has also considered going out to work in the past few days, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, and he thought he could delay it for a few more days.

Xiaoyu put down his chopsticks, "Dad, I think about a few days." With that, he went back to his bedroom and lay down.

Yu's father also put down his chopsticks, looked outside, and sighed deeply.

The next day is a very important day, and for those junior high school students, the importance of the high school entrance examination may be far greater than that of the college entrance examination, after all, this is the closest to them.

Yu Wenxiao got up early, did not stay at home, and carried farm tools to the farmland to do farm work before dawn, and when Yu's father came to the field smoking a cigarette, Xiao Yu had already done almost a quarter.

"Dad, I've figured it out." Yu Wenxiao stopped his movements and rested there with his farm tools, "I'll go to Xiaoqiang in a few days." ”

Xiaoqiang is the child of the village chief's family, and he has had a good relationship with Xiaoyu since he was a child, and now he is also working outside.

After Dad Yu finished smoking, he thought for a while and nodded, "Now you are not small, and you decide some things yourself." ”

When the sun peeks out, most of the junior high school students are about to leave, and these hopeful children will write their future today.

And Yu Wenxiao, who was in the farmland, also looked up at the students who were rushing to take the exam, but soon turned his head and dropped his hoe, reclaiming his hope.

Soon, he will embark on his own journey into the future.
