Chapter Twenty-Three: Let's Go to School Together
Li Li's action, Lin Na saw it.
The pig food stained on the wooden barrel stained Li Li's brother's hands, and she felt quite embarrassed.
I haven't seen him for a semester, and Brother Li Li has become handsome again!
With a high nose and thin lips, after three years of college, I have become a bit like a city person, and my skin is so white.
Wearing clean jeans and a white short-sleeved shirt, the tall Li Li brother and the male god generally landed in front of Lin Na, which made her feel more and more ashamed of herself.
Thinking of his short stature, dark skin, and yellow and irregular teeth, Lin Na hardly dared to look up at him.
Why is there a big boy in the world who is so handsome and kind like Brother Li Li?
Lin Na sighed softly in her heart, raised her eyes slightly, and expressed her gratitude: "Brother Li Li, thank you!" ”
"I haven't seen you for a few months, have you learned to be polite to me? How did you do in the junior high school exam? ”
Brother Li Li's eyes looking at Lin Na were extremely gentle, and the soft light seemed to be able to melt away the people he was looking at.
"Should I have done well?" Lin Na raised her head and glanced at Li Li quickly, then quickly moved her gaze away from him, lowered her eyes, and rubbed her dirty hands uncomfortably.
"As long as you can pass the exam, you have to study, you know? Remember what I told you? Knowledge changes fate! ”
Li Li looked at the short girl standing in front of him with a sincere face, as if she had never changed.
There was another burst of pity in my heart.
"Okay, okay!" Lin Na replied weakly and without confidence.
"Can't answer so reluctantly!" Li Li stretched out his right hand and opened his palm in front of Lin Na, "Come, give me five!" Come on! ”
Lin Na naturally doesn't understand what "give me five" means, looking at Li Li's brother's position, is she going to high-five her, right?
She opened her slimy right palm and weakly struck Li Li's brother's open big palm.
Li Li smiled brightly: "I remember that you promised me that you will definitely insist on studying, no matter how difficult it is." ”
"Oh." Lin Na replied in a low voice.
Her father had emphasized to her many times that unless she could be admitted to Lingyun Town No. 1 Middle School, that is, the school that Zhang Ze changed later and applied for as his first choice, he would obediently stay at home and do farm work and take care of his younger brothers.
In the three years that she went to Panlong Village to study, she was able to persevere, and it was completely three years of fighting wits and courage with her father.
After countless attempts, her father took her fourth brother to school to find her, asking her not to go to school and come back to take her younger brother to do housework, saying that he was busy that day and had no time to see the fourth brother.
"I've handed over my fourth brother to you! You show me that he is good, if he has three long and two short, see how I clean you up! ”
Her father pushed the fourth brother to her side and left regardless of it.
Fortunately, the fourth brother was well-behaved, she asked the fourth brother to sit in the last row of the classroom, told him not to make a sound, and insisted on listening to the lesson that day before hurriedly going home with the eldest brother and the second brother with the fourth brother.
This undoubtedly made Mr. Li's dislike of her increase a few points.
Countless times at home, her father scolded Sang Huai and scolded her for being ignorant, going to school with a dead face, not helping the family, and leaving the third and fourth brothers without anyone to take care of.
She could only endure silently, doing more work in exchange for a chance to read.
In the second semester of sixth grade, her grades slowly improved a little.
This is due to the fact that in the last semester before graduating from primary school, Zhang Ze reduced or even completely stopped the hobby of taking her and Guo Jian around between classes to help her with her homework.
"If I get in, you don't get in, and I go to the town to study alone, how boring! You and Guo Jian must also be admitted. ”
Zhang Ze made up his mind to take her and Guo Jian to the town to study in junior high school.
"But, my foundation is so poor, okay?" Lin Na had no confidence in being admitted to junior high school.
"I said okay, hurry up, study!" Zhang Ze opened the Chinese textbook, taught her to read new words, and helped her and Guo Jian dictate all the new words in the fourth to sixth grade Chinese textbooks.
Guo Jian didn't need Zhang Ze's urging, he studied hard, and he heard that the guy lived in a temporary dormitory vacated by the school for him and a few children from other villages, and turned on the flashlight every night until the third watch in the middle of the night before going to bed.
Lin Na didn't have that much time to study, but she was also much more energetic than usual, urging her younger brothers at home to finish the housework quickly, and then getting up to read while her father was asleep.
But she didn't report to a middle school at all, and according to her father's request, she didn't have any books to read.
If you apply, you may not be able to get in, right?
After Brother Li Li came to see her that day, she couldn't sleep at night, and Lin Na silently thought about it in her heart.
In order to fill in the volunteer, Zhang Ze was anxious with her.
"Why don't you report a middle school? Didn't you say that if you can't get into the first middle school, your father won't let you study? ”
As soon as Teacher Li stepped out of the classroom door, Zhang Ze grabbed her volunteer form and told her.
Lin Na glanced at the door of the classroom, staring at Teacher Li's back and facing Zhang Zenunu's mouth.
"What are you afraid of him for?" Zhang Ze picked up a pen and wanted to help her change her will.
"You're not afraid of him, why did you change your will?" Lin Na replied, took back the volunteer watch, and defended it to the death: "Don't change it!" I'm afraid that if I don't pass the exam, I won't even be able to get into the worst school! ”
"I'm not afraid of him! I thought that what he said also made some sense, I might not be so good that I could be admitted to the county-level junior high school. Okay, okay, I won't change yours, you give it to me, and I'll help you pay it later. ”
Zhang Ze stretched out his hand and waited for Lin Na to hand over the volunteer form to her.
