Chapter 9: Uncle's Future
It was already six o'clock when Dad got home, Mom was preparing dinner, I was sitting in a small chair next to me, Dad touched my forehead and said to himself, "Well, don't burn it." ”
Seeing the happy look on my father's face, my mother hurriedly asked, "How is it today, what did Uncle say?" ”
"Today, there is a guest from the uncle's house, from the army, who recognizes our family Xiaoxiao as his goddaughter." Dad rolled up his sleeves as he said, ready to help Mom do something.
"Ask you about Wen Hao's entrance examination." Mom was a little anxious.
"It's good, we discussed it, and all things considered, Wen Hao will take the normal exam this year, and if he can pass the exam, he will go to the normal school, and he will come out to be a teacher, and if he can't be admitted to high school, it's good to study in a military school."
"Oh, that's good, that's good." Mom seemed a lot more relieved to hear my father say this, but in fact, they discussed it like this the night before, and it seemed that it was more reassuring to get such a conclusion from others.
"Why have you been there for so long today? Who do you say thinks that our family Xiaoxiao is a goddaughter? Mom suddenly remembered what Dad had just said and asked.
"That's right." So Dad excitedly talked about everything that happened today while adding firewood to the stove, and Mom also listened with relish, and asked a sentence or two from time to time, until it was time to eat, the story always had an end, and Dad sighed after speaking: "I don't know when I will see you again!" ”
"There is time, and there are decades to come!" Mom said as she fed me food.
The next day was the market in Zixian County, my father went to work early, and my mother took me out early to catch the market. If you leave early, you can walk with your neighbors, meet a lot of acquaintances along the way, and most importantly, save a few cents on the fare.
When I arrived at the Zixian market, the sun had already risen, and I met a few neighbors in my mother's village, saying that my grandfather had also come to the market today, maybe in a place that sold wooden tables and chairs, so my mother hugged me and found my grandfather in a place full of tables and chairs.
"Dad, Zhantang went to ask yesterday, the uncle said that the army is very good, and he is an officer when he goes to a military school, and the treatment is good, we are discussing letting Wen Hao take the normal exam this year, and then take the military academy exam, what do you say?" Mom crackled when she met.
"Alas, I heard that there are very few places to take the normal examination this year, just one, I don't know how lucky Wen Hao is." Grandpa said with a sigh.
"Actually, I think military school is better than normal, but high school still has to work hard for you for a few years." Mom saw it very clearly.
After the agreement was reached, my mother breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that a big thing had been done, my mother didn't know, and there was a happy thing waiting for her.
In the evening, my father bought a white suit jacket for my mother, and the collar was black edging. After dinner, my mother tried on the new clothes, which was really good.
"Xiaoxiao, come and see, do the clothes look good?" Mom was showing off her new clothes in front of me.
"Mom, okay." I sat on my little stool, and although I couldn't say a sentence properly, I was able to express my meaning accurately.
"We know how to talk!" Dad said as he circled around Mom twice.
"Don't say it, your eyesight is not bad, it just fits."
"I've never bought you clothes, I'm taking your clothes to buy them." Dad was a little embarrassed.
"I can't see you're so smart!" Mom laughed.
My mother is good-looking, and her skin is good, but the white coat looks even better, so I thought, if only I could be as beautiful as my mother when I grow up.
Later, not long after, my father ordered a set of navy blue suits for my mother, which should have been more popular at that time, and if it was not a formal occasion now, the return rate of wearing that style of suit would definitely not be low, and who would have nothing to wear a suit.
Dad said that Mom is suitable for wearing a suit. Doesn't it say that people rely on clothes, I think clothes have to test people, otherwise how to reflect the beauty of clothes.
In that year, my uncle and another person applied for the teacher training exam with the same score, but the one who was admitted when the notice came out was not called Wen Hao.
So under the arrangement of my grandfather, my uncle went to the best high school in the provincial capital, and three years later, he was successfully admitted to the military school.
