Zhao Xiaoming was very unwilling, but none of the elders in the family clearly supported him to repeat his studies, and no matter how reluctant he was, he could only put it away.

Before the notice was received, he had to work in the field with everyone every day, and Zhao's mother was afraid that he would not be able to think about it, and she was not worried that he was alone at home.

Zhao Xiaoming's painful work under the scorching sun, he didn't like anyone, especially Zhao Lele, who had just gotten the results of the high school entrance examination.

Zhao Lele's score was not bad, and her ranking was high, and the teacher told her that she could wait for the admission letter at home with peace of mind.

Zhao Lele went home and told her parents the good news, and Qian Manzhi was only happy for a while and asked her which schools she applied for and whether these schools wanted tuition.

"I don't know." Zhao Lele didn't have too many ideas when he chose a school, he was willing to fill in the advice of the teacher, and how did he know these details.

Zhao Shuxin advised Qian Manzhi not to worry, his daughter should be rewarded if she did well in the exam, and she could find another way to deal with money.

"You said it simply, you take medicine every day for money, and you spend money like running water, where can you find a way." Qian Manzhi began to feel anxious at the mention of money, and she couldn't wait to get a windfall.

"Alas! I said that I wouldn't go to the provincial capital, but you still didn't listen to the persuasion, and if you wanted me to say that these medicines are useless, they don't get better at all, so I'll just prescribe some painkillers. Zhao Shuxin has lost confidence in both Chinese and Western medicine at this stage, and he has taken medicine until his tongue is bitter and numb, and he has reached the point where he is sick to his stomach when he sees the medicine.

"If you don't take medicine, will you wait at home to die, and the doctor will say that there will be a miracle." Qian Manzhi knew that Zhao Shuxin's illness was not easy to treat, but he always hoped for a miracle in his heart.

"You also believe the doctor's words, of course they picked up good words and said, do they still say that my disease cannot be cured, go home early and wait for death." Zhao Shuxin knew his body, and he didn't believe the doctor's words anymore.

"Dad, what kind of disease are you, you didn't say it's just a stomach problem, why is it not good to always take medicine?" Zhao Lele had long suspected that it was not a stomach problem, and he never found a suitable opportunity to ask.

Zhao Shuxin waved his hand impatiently: "Adults speak, children don't ask so much!" ”

Zhao Lele still didn't hear the result, she could only secretly hope that Zhao Shuxin's illness would get better as soon as possible.

A week later, the school teacher approached Zhao Lele's family and came to talk about her going to school.

The school sent two teachers, her homeroom teacher and a teacher in charge of admissions, and the teachers hoped that she would give up the secondary school and continue to study in high school at the school, and wait three years before taking the college entrance examination.

"Zhao Lele's father, your family Lele has good grades, you shouldn't give up. Zhao Xiaoming is your nephew, right? He was admitted to university this year, you should know, don't you want your child to be more promising? After being admitted to university, you can choose more jobs, and after graduation, you have the opportunity to stay in the provincial capital, maybe you can stay in the capital, think about it......"

The teachers in the school have a clever mouth, and they also know that the key lies in the parents, and they must start with the parents to persuade them. The admissions teacher's words were not wrong, but unfortunately he didn't know much about the situation of the Zhao family, and he didn't give the right examples, let alone the big cities outside.

Zhao Shuxin's thinking is more traditional, he hopes that Zhao Lele will read some books, have a stable job, and then get married and have children. Zhao Lele really wants to stay in the provincial capital, but he is worried, what is good about the big city outside, it is difficult to go home all year round, what is the difference between having a child and not having a child.

"Teacher, you're all right, you let me think about it for a few more days." Zhao Shuxin was embarrassed to refuse the teacher directly, so he simply used the procrastination trick.

He wanted to leave the two teachers at home for dinner, but the teacher said that there were other students who had to visit at home, so they could only agree to eat next time.

The teachers refused to stay to eat, and when Zhao Shuxin sent the teacher away, he gave the teacher a lot of home-grown grapes and let them eat them on the way.

When the two teachers entered the courtyard, they saw the fruits hanging on the vines, and they watched Zhao Shuxin standing under the grape trellis to pick them, but this time there was no polite obstruction.

Zhao Shuxin sent the teacher away and closed the door of the courtyard before his face fell: "Lele, don't listen to what the teacher says, of course it's good to go to university, but can you guarantee that you will be admitted?" We still wait for the notice of secondary school, take a good secondary school, come out to work early, and earn a few more years of salary. ”

"Dad, Brother Xiao Ming has been admitted." Zhao Lele's words are that his cousin's high school entrance examination results are not as good as hers, he can be admitted to university, and she will be able to do the same in three years.

"Don't listen to your teacher, your little brother doesn't know what the situation is, if he really wants to be admitted, your grandmother has already informed the whole village to eat the flowing water seat, how can he hide it. I'll go over and ask what the situation is. Zhao Shuxin knew that the teacher would not deceive people, but he didn't believe that his nephew was admitted to college, and being low-key was not Zhao's mother's style.

"Okay, you go and ask." Qian Manzhi was very dissatisfied with Zhao Shuxin's regard for his nephew to be more important than his own daughter, and she didn't think the two nephews of the Zhao family could be very good.

Zhao Shuxin doesn't mind Qian Manzhi getting angry, anyway, she is such a character, she gets angry about a little thing twice in three days. As long as he pretends not to see, he will be fine when she is angry, but it will be bad if he replies......

Zhao Shuxin came to Zhao Shuli's house wearing a shabby straw hat, this house was still built in the year Zhao Shuli got married, and it has been dilapidated for more than 20 years.

"Big brother!" When Zhao Shuxin entered the door, he saw Zhao Shuxin cutting bamboo.

"You're here!" Zhao Shuli didn't raise his head to say hello.

"What about Dad and Mom?" Zhao Shuxin didn't see anyone in the house.

"They went to the mountains to pick herbs, do you have something to do?"

"It's okay, I just want to ask Xiao Ming about the college entrance examination, I heard that the results have come out." Zhao Shuxin asked straight to the point.

"Well, I was admitted, but I haven't received the admission letter yet." Zhao Shuli used the knife to split the bamboo into small pieces.

"Really admitted? Why don't you tell me. "Zhao Shuxin was hit hard, his own uncle didn't know, this was too hurtful, he was worse than outsiders.

"He wants to repeat it." When Zhao Shuli said this, he finally stopped what he was doing. He took out a small piece of paper cut from a discarded workbook from his pocket, took out the shredded tobacco, rolled it, and stuck the paper with saliva. A homemade cigarette was born, and he lit it with a match.

"Why?" Zhao Shuxin took a step back and asked, his living habits have changed a lot after he got sick.

"He said that he didn't do well in the exam this time, and he could only go to a junior college, and I didn't understand, anyway, what he meant was not as good as college, and he had to go to college." Zhao Shuli was also conflicted in his heart, just when Zhao Shuxin came over and pulled him to chat, so as to listen to his opinion.

"What did my mother say?" Zhao Shuxin doesn't understand these things, where can he give any advice.

"I don't know, my mother said I'll wait until I receive the notice." Zhao Shuli couldn't guess Zhao's mother's thoughts.
