As a freshman of the class of 2014, Xiaofeng officially enrolled today.

When he first entered the school, he cherished this hard-won opportunity, because he will never forget an incident that happened during the summer vacation, and it was precisely because of this incident that he and even their family's situation changed.

For an ordinary working-class family, going to school in China is a more important thing than eating and living, in order to let their children do well in the entrance exam, how many parents have to enroll in cram schools for their children even if they empty their pockets; In order for their children to enter a municipal demonstration school, how many parents have bent their waists in order to find acquaintances and trust relationships.

In mid-to-late June 2011, Xiaofeng's results had come out, and he was just able to go to the A-level demonstration junior high school, but because the results were ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the students who applied for the examination, according to the elimination standard of the A-level demonstration junior high school, Xiaofeng was likely to be brushed down.

The mother who is "supernatural" and the "acquaintance" who is looking for nowhere has actually found the way.

Director Du of Junior High School A informed Xiaofeng's mother to wait for him at the gate of the school at two o'clock in the afternoon on July 15 to discuss the child's registration.

The weather is about to fall, and the sun at two o'clock not only does not intend to set in the west, but is even hotter scorching the people outside the building.

Xiaofeng and his mother stood at the back door of the school, waiting for Director Du's summons. Mom, who doesn't usually like to buy fruits, actually bought a lot of fruits that Xiaofeng had never seen and eaten before. You see, this fiery fruit is like the sun today, and the roasted people are itching.

Sweat trickled down Xiaofeng's cheeks, down to his neck, up and down with Xiaofeng's Adam's apple, and then quickly slid into the neckline.

"Mom, I'm so thirsty!" Xiaofeng wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, but his entire cheeks were already covered with dense beads of sweat.

"There's a commissary next to it, I'll get you some money, you can go buy a bottle of water to drink."

"Do you want it?"

"I'm not thirsty"

Mom was holding fruit in one hand and money in her bag with the other, and was talking about a big-bellied bald head with glasses coming out of the school. waved to this side, "Director Du!" Mom's sharp eyes recognized the leader at a glance, "Son, bear with me for a while, and when I'm done later, my mother will buy you water, okay?" Mom whispered to Xiaofeng, "Okay...."Xiaofeng nodded sensibly and reluctantly.

Xiaofeng followed behind his mother and walked towards Director Du quickly. Led by the bald director, they came to an elegantly decorated office, and as soon as they entered the door, Xiaofeng felt a chill, and many goosebumps instantly appeared on his arms.

In Xiaofeng's mind, this small-looking office is half the size of a classroom in elementary school, with a delicate European-style hanging bell hanging on the wall near the window, and a bottled water dispenser under the hanging bell. Xiaofeng swallowed his saliva and turned to look at the bald chief's seat. On a solid wooden desk sits a big-ass computer with all sorts of folders.

"Director Du, this is a little thought, the baby matter, I have to bother you?" Mom's words drew Xiaofeng's attention back, "Alas, don't talk about this! Director Du took the fruit with a smile and politely, "To be precise, the child's matter is not completely over!" Director Du waved his hand to signal Xiaofeng's mother and son to sit down and chat slowly, "Then what procedures are missing?" Xiaofeng's mother's eyes instantly dimmed and became extremely tight. Director Du shrewdly glanced at Xiaofeng's mother, her face was still smiling, "Hey~, I can't come in a hurry, I can't come in a hurry", Director Du took a sip of tea and played with the teacup on the table, "The main thing is that there is still one approval left, and the person who finally approves the quota is not me," Director Du sometimes clenched the teacup and sometimes fiddled with the teacup, and the strength was just right, "Director Du, we have run a lot of relationships for the sake of the child, you know, Teacher Wang is the niece of our uncle's family, I hope you can see Teacher Wang's face, In this matter, of course, there is something we need to do, you just ask..."

Director Du put down the teacup and waved his hand, "Eh, of course I helped for the sake of Mr. Wang's face, but I am not the person responsible for the final review list, but..." Director Du smiled slyly and continued, "This matter is not unsolvable." "What's the solution? You say?" Xiaofeng's mother was like a fish that was caught, and took the initiative to bite the hook, "Actually, I'm a very talkative person, but Director Cao, who approves it, is more difficult to handle, if I want to dredge up, I definitely need to invite him, and he still has to give me this face·····" Director Du, who was sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, talked about the "price code" with a calm expression, this kind of thing seemed to him to be as normal as eating and going to the toilet, just as casual, "Director Du, don't worry, I am prepared to come this time, I also know that it is not easy for you, Xiaofeng, you go out for a while, I will talk to Teacher Du about something..." Mom turned her head and said to Xiaofeng. "Hmm" Xiaofeng pulled out of the office, stood under the eaves, looked in from the window, and saw his mother take out a bulging envelope in the bag, "stuffed" into the hands of Director Du, Director Du, who was full of spring breeze, politely took the envelope without hesitation, and the two muttered again, due to the barrier of the window, Xiaofeng did not hear a word clearly, Xiaofeng noticed a calligraphy and painting on the wall opposite the wall clock of Director Du, which was written with a brush "Teacher table, teaching and educating people" eight big characters.

After a while, Xiaofeng's mother came out of the office, followed by Director Du with a polite smile, "Director Du, then let's go first, you have to worry about the child, I'm sorry for you...", Mom turned around and said goodbye to Director Du, "No trouble, no trouble... Hahaha··· Don't bother" Director Du is like a victorious general, laughing so unscrupulously and shamelessly. Director Du walked up to Xiaofeng and touched Xiaofeng's head with his hand, "Baby, you have to work hard to study in the future, you see your mother is for you..." Xiao Feng tried to dodge the fat oily hands, but these hands were like magnets, firmly clamping him, making him unable to move.

Finally, Xiaofeng and his mother left the cool, goosebump-inducing office and returned to the sun, Xiaofeng looked up at the westerly sun, and felt that it was hotter and hotter than when he came, but the light was much dimmer than when he came.

In mid-August, Xiaofeng's family was faced with something they didn't expect. The county has notified that the A municipal demonstration junior high school and the B county demonstration junior high school have been merged into a new municipal demonstration junior high school.

Xiaofeng heard the conversation between his mother and father at night, his father told that it was not easy for him to make money, and complained that his mother had wasted the money, and his mother cried in the house, saying that he was busy for this family, and that he was not spending money to let his children go to a good school, and that he would have a good future in the future, saying that his father had no conscience. Xiaofeng knew that no matter whether the school merged or not, as long as the money was spent, it would undoubtedly be worse for their family.

Xiaofeng secretly decided that he must study hard and share a little burden on his shoulders for his busy father and hard-working mother in the future.
