14. Patriarchy

Zhang Nanyan's family lives in a village deep in the mountains, called Xiaoyou Village.

The name of the village is "Xiaoyou", but in fact it is "not at all"!

Nanguan Town is the poorest town in J City, and Xiaoyou Village is the poorest village in Nanguan Town. The villages are all mountainous, the drought is severe, the crops do not grow well, and the conditions are poor. Even serious teachers are reluctant to come to the village primary school, and the children have been mixed in primary school for six years. Fortunately, there is compulsory education, so I can go to junior high school, but more than half of the children will not go to junior high school, and if they can't keep up with their studies, they might as well go out to work! Even fewer were admitted to high school, and none were admitted to college.

Zhang Nanyan went to high school, does she mean that her family conditions are good? Or is it that her parents love her?

Neither!

Zhang Nanyan's parents are both farmers and illiterate, so they can farm, and they can't earn any other money, so the family can be regarded as poor!

Zhang Nanyan has a younger brother who is one year younger than her and is named Zhang Xiong. Parents favor sons over daughters, spoil their sons, and ...... their daughters Hehe, it's a free long-term job.

Zhang Nanyan herself also felt that it was natural for her parents to be good to her younger brother, because she was not born by her parents, but was coming. The village has never shied away from raising children, and Zhang Nanyan knew that she was adopted at a very young age. At the beginning, my parents couldn't give birth to a child, so they adopted a girl according to the customs of the countryside, which was said to be able to recruit a son. Sure enough, not long after Zhang Nanyan was hugged, her mother became pregnant and gave birth to her younger brother.

Zhang Nanyan has known her life experience since she was a child, not only the people in the village are gossiping, but even her mother scolds her every time she gets angry: "Little bastard, raising you is a waste of food!" ”

Even his younger brother beat and scolded Zhang Nanyan when he didn't like it, and said domineeringly: "Grandma said, you are my child daughter-in-law, if you don't obey, you have to be beaten!" ”

Father, not to mention. Zhang Nanyan never dared to look up at her father, her father always had a pair of red eyes, and his temper came up, not only beating her, but also beating her mother! Mom was beaten and cried and scolded Zhang Nanyan over and over again.

At the age of seven, Zhang Nanyan only went to elementary school. That's because her younger brother went to school, and her parents asked her to take care of her younger brother.

The primary school is in the village, and the junior high school is in the town.

Zhang Nanyan carried her and her younger brother's bunks on her back and walked to the town's junior high school.

As for his younger brother, he was too far away, so his father carried a bottle of wine and begged the young man who was working in the town to ride a motorcycle and take his younger brother to the town.

Even if she has to walk for half a day every Friday, even if almost all of her heavy luggage is the oil cakes, boiled eggs, and newly made clothes and cloth shoes that her mother bakes for her younger brother, and only a few steamed buns are given to her, Zhang Nanyan is already very happy.

Because she had finally left the house where she slept with black walls, rats crawling on the beams, and firewood and grass piled up in the cracks of the windows and doors.

She moved into the dormitory and slept in a flat bed for the first time.

The first time she ate in the cafeteria, she ate two large bowls of rice in one go, spent a full six taels of meal tickets, and felt distressed for a week after eating, and only dared to eat one or two meals a day, to save the meal tickets.

The most important thing is that she can go to class with peace of mind and no one to disturb her, and she no longer has to watch her brother all the time, he didn't like to study before, and she always skips class to climb trees and go down the river, so she has to follow.

Zhang Nanyan studied very hard, and even when she ate, she read while eating; At night, when the other classmates slept, she continued to study outside the dormitory, and every day after twelve o'clock; In addition to going to the toilet between classes, she doesn't even leave her seat; Not to mention the lunch break, extracurricular activity time, when other classmates rest and go shopping, she studied in the classroom, and in the second exam, she took the first grade.

The younger brother Zhang Xiong was wild. There is a popular Internet café in the town, Zhang Xiong is addicted to the Internet, often jumps off the wall to go out, plays all night, climbs over the wall and goes back to the dormitory during the day, and sleeps for a day. Class, don't go! Anyway, there are so many students like this, as long as they don't make trouble, the teacher doesn't bother to care!

I remember that after the high school entrance examination, Zhang Xiong was playing in the Internet café in the dark, Zhang Nanyan couldn't leave him, and he didn't dare to go home, so he stood behind Zhang Xiong and waited carefully.

Zhang Xiong was playing a game when the computer suddenly locked the screen. He hit the tight place and shouted in a hurry: "Network administrator, hurry up, open it first!"

The network manager shouted: "No. 9 machine, you have no money!"

"Open first, win right away!"

The webmaster ignored him.

Zhang Xiong fumbled in his pockets and only found a dollar.

"Give me some money!" He stretched out his hand to Zhang Nanyan.

Zhang Nanyan shook her head: "I don't have any money."

"Why not, stingy!" Zhang Xiong jumped up, ignored Zhang Nanyan's refusal, and took out her body, and finally found five yuan.

"No, this is the money for us to go home and buy a ticket!"

Zhang Xiong didn't care, took the money and ran to the bar: "Hurry up, open for two more hours."

After two hours of playing, this time there is really no money. Zhang Xiong scolded, got up and kicked a chair, and walked out of the Internet café.

With no money to take the car, Zhang Nanyan could only drag Zhang Xiong to walk home.

When he got home, Zhang Xiong complained bitterly, shouting that he was hungry and tired. Parents were distressed and scolded Zhang Nanyan severely.

Half a month later, Zhang Xiong was sleeping in the house, and Zhang Nanyan was feeding the pigs. Suddenly, a gong and drum sounded, and the village party secretary led a large group of people to Zhang's house.

"Lao Zhang, your child is out! The leaders of the town's education bureau have sent you good news. ”

The leader of the town smiled and said, "Congratulations, your child is the champion of the town."

Zhang's mother immediately rushed back to the house and pulled Zhang Xiong out with a belt.

Zhang's father laughed happily: "I knew that my son had a future!"

"Son? No, it is written on the file that Zhang Nanyan is a girl! ”

On this day, everyone saw the scoundrels of the Zhang family and his wife. They scolded the heavens and the earth, that is, they did not agree to let Zhang Nanyan go to high school, and they had to exchange the place for their son.

In the roar of Zhang's father, in the crying and scolding of Zhang's mother, Zhang Nanyan, who was carrying a pig food bucket, was so embarrassed that she was embarrassed.

Everyone is persuading the Zhang family and his wife.

The words "can't be patriarchal" and "how pitiful the child is" filled Zhang Nanyan's ears, and at that moment, she wished that she hadn't been admitted at all. It turns out that what is more embarrassing than being despised is being pitied by everyone.

There was no way, the town leaders promised to waive all Zhang Nanyan's tuition and miscellaneous fees.

Zhang's father still disagreed: "Then what about the money she needs to eat, the school?"

"It's not enough to just give Nizi food money, but what about our family, she went to school, who will do the work at home? Let her go to work and earn four or five hundred a month. ”

"Unreasonable!" The leader was furious.

The leader saw Zhang Nanyan standing timidly on the side, grabbed her hand, and said, "I'm in charge of this matter!" I want to look at a society governed by the rule of law, and I can't control a scoundrel! ”

"What's the matter, you can still arrest me?" Zhang's father played tricks.

Zhang's mother was frightened and pulled her husband's clothes.

The village party secretary hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, and finally let the Zhang family and his wife agree to Zhang Nanyan to go to high school.

Zhang Nanyan went to high school, tuition and miscellaneous fees were waived, and her parents did not give a penny for living expenses, so she relied on the school to provide a work-study job, and the money she earned was barely paid for food and accommodation.

However, the two and a half years of high school were Zhang Nanyan's happiest years. She put all her efforts into her studies, and her grades were firmly at the top of her grade.

If it weren't for her parents who forced her to go home...... She's sure to be able to get into college......
