Chapter 5 Ten Thousand Dollars
I don't know why it's called that, but I'm afraid it's a huge pit with sand in it.
But now it's a sea of vicissitudes, there are no pits here, some are just an old bungalow, that is, the shantytown that will be transformed now, of course, this will be two words, there is a lot of room for imagination, maybe tomorrow, maybe a month later, maybe two or three years later.
Anyway, it has been a long time since the news of the renovation was going to be announced, and everyone was looking forward to moving into the building as soon as possible, but they were looking forward to a row of houses that would later be called the Corrupt Building in front of the sand pit......
Bai Shiqiu's home was originally here, and he lived under the same house number as his grandparents and second uncle, but later his mother's factory had a batch of houses to sell, so he moved away, but the original house was left behind and temporarily rented out.
A phoenix This is Bai Shiqiu's car, grandpa tailor-made for himself, grandpa used to be a bicycle factory, the factory is long gone, but grandpa's craftsmanship is still there.
When he arrived here, before he pushed the cart into the alley, Bai Shiqiu's eyes were sour.
Childhood memories are all here......
These bungalows are made by several families with a running water well, and the tap is very thick, and the thick iron partition of the sewer below is very bright and smooth.
I remember, digging earthworms in the spring, at first I didn't know that such a long thing that would bend was a god horse thing, what the child had to eat, I wanted to stuff it into my mouth, fortunately my mother was fast-eyed, otherwise the oral violence was at that time.
In the summer, the water is not cold, and I take a bath here, and the autumn is very short here, so I don't feel anything, so I get used to washing, and then in winter......
There are a lot, so big ice skates, the water has to be turned on all the time, you can't turn it off, otherwise it will freeze badly, but the water coming out of the faucet gives people the feeling of being hot, with a thick steam, the whole water platform is very good-looking, the stout ice skate, fairy breath, it's just a scene.
So, just like in summer and autumn, I put on a little pants and ran here, not forgetting the seagull shampoo......
When my mother got off work, I saw a child who was stupid and didn't take a few baths with tap water in the winter, and the foam at one end was quite happy and laughed, and she was happy at the moment, this is the stupid child of that family, and the adults don't care, but wait for a second look......
Heart-rending shouted to take himself home, the whole family, parents, grandparents all came, and did a careful inspection, especially the things that were to be used for the inheritance, I was afraid that something would happen here.
Outcome...... All right.
Since then, many neighbors have said that Xiaoqiu's child is strong, so cold, the chickens have not frozen, and there will definitely be a future in the future.
Hearing this, my mother blushed, my father smiled, and my grandparents were very embarrassed, after all, the child was not optimistic.
It was really naughty when I was a child......
The well is still there, the cart into the alley, there will be three houses not far away, in the order of entering, respectively, the second uncle's house, his own home, grandparents' house, are all bungalows, the innermost grandparents live, there is a small courtyard, now their own family does not live here, before the mother's factory house was changed, moved the building, the bungalow here was rented out, and a month will be charged 100 yuan.
But today, this alley is different, there are a lot of people blocked, and there are voices coming out of it.
"Why! Why! My Xiaochun is not the queen of the Bai family, right? You two are old, don't be so eccentric! ”
"If you have money, you will give it to your eldest grandson? My Xiaochun...... Woohoo......"
With this voice, Bai Shiqiu didn't need to look at it to know that her second aunt, and at this time, she must be rolling all over the ground, and she also pulled her son, that is, her cousin Xiaochun, over, together.
Surrounded by neighbors, pointing and pointing.
"This second daughter-in-law is really amazing, she has been doing it since the afternoon."
"What do you think this is because of?"
"It's not that the old man Bai is eccentric."
"Eccentric? What's wrong? ”
"I heard it's 10,000 yuan."
These words fell into the mouths of neighbors, and they may be just like this now, but after a while, they may become something that cannot be underestimated.
So, Bai Shiqiu soon heard his mother's voice.
"We can't speak with a clear conscience! Mom and Dad, where do they have eccentricity? What's the deal with that 10,000 dollars? That was when Xiaoqiu was admitted to the best junior high school in the district, and his parents rewarded Xiaoqiu! At that time, our family was afraid that your family would be chaotic, so Xiaoqiu, who I persuaded with your eldest brother, didn't take this money, and told my parents and a few of you that this money would be used as Xiaoqiu's college tuition and keep it first. ”
Mom is still very organized, and this is indeed the case.
I think at the beginning, Bai Shiqiu was also a good student, in fact, even when he entered 36 Middle School, Bai Shiqiu was also the first, but he fell, in the last test, Bai Shiqiu's grades were already the second to last in the class, and it was really embarrassing to say it. But a few years ago, Bai Shiqiu was definitely the hope of the whole family.
If you want to go to a good school this year, you have to take the exam. Bai Shiqiu is really competitive, and he was admitted to the experimental class of the best junior high school in the district, and if there is a ranking of primary school students in the district, he ranks 21st, and he is the first in his primary school.
Originally, Bai Shiqiu was very naughty when he was a child, and he could understand a thing or two just by watching the tiger go to the bath, but this guy is really a talented type.
In terms of physical fitness, he inherited his father's excellent genes, and his father was the main force of the unit football team and basketball team, don't underestimate the enterprise team, there was a saying in the seventies and eighties, called the national team can not compare with the provincial team, and the provincial team can not compare with the industrial and mining team.
In terms of academics, that is the credit of my mother, according to my mother and her teacher, who later said that the principal of Bai Shiqiu Primary School, my mother has never won the second place.
In the first grade, it was very poor, the second grade was very average, the third grade was in the top few, the fourth grade was the class cadre, the fifth grade school committee, and in the sixth grade, it was the first in the school.
Bai Shiqiu later had a clear understanding of himself during this period of time, that is, although his talent was very good, his emotional intelligence was very low.
Is it hard to learn? I didn't have any strength at all, but I understood it at a glance.
With such a sentence, Bai Shiqiu, who was the first in the class, did not get a single vote when he voted for the top three students...... The frightened teacher no longer dared to let his classmates vote for the three good students.
At that time, Bai Shiqiu didn't know that he had inadvertently stifled the democratic power of his classmates, he was just sad about the loss of the three good students' awards, and he was still waiting to collect all seven and try to summon the dragon.
was originally the first place, Bai Shiqiu, who was the hope of the whole family, failed the high school entrance examination two years ago.
1 point, it's 1 point short, you know, it's not that there is no opportunity, my mother found the relationship with the high school over there through her teacher, who is the principal of the elementary school, and they said, give 30,000, and raise the file.
This kind of backdoor thing is not uncommon in this era, and you are only 1 point short, even if someone checks in the future, you can find various reasons to get it, there will be a vacancy, some accidents or something to be admitted but not able to go to school, it is very common.
But.
How much is the difference of 1 point?
Why can your children come to school?
Naturally, there is such a gray behavior...... Of course, this was all known to Bai Shiqiu later, at that time, he was just a fifteen-year-old child, and he only had nothing else in his mind to study.
At that time, Bai Shiqiu gave up this opportunity.
There is the idea of not bowing to the evil forces...... Really.
But it was more because the economic conditions of the family at that time had deteriorated sharply, and my mother and father were laid off, and it was really a hard time at that time.
Even if the grandparents give 10,000 yuan, how can they live in the future?
What can you do with 20,000 yuan this year?
Enterprises are doing the reform of property rights of houses, and a set of commercial houses, that is, houses whose property rights belong to individuals, are newly built, and they do not exceed 20,000 yuan in the provincial capital.
If we don't take this money, I won't go to the provincial point.
At that time, the family hugged each other and cried, and even the father, who had never cried, burst into tears, saying that his child was too sensible.
As a result, Bai Shiqiu entered the 36 middle school of the city's key center, so he became the first in the 36 middle school.
And today, the second aunt is going to fight the idea of 10,000 yuan, this 10,000 yuan has a special meaning, and my mother has let it go this time.
However, the second aunt is not an ordinary person......
"That's right! I also know that this 10,000 yuan is a reward for your family Xiaoqiu, but you didn't take it after all! Yes, at that time, the high wind and bright festival were amazing, and I admired. But what chance does Xiaoqiu have to be admitted to university now? You say to yourselves, what other chances does he have? There is only one year left before the college entrance examination, and your family is the last in the class, how can you take the university entrance examination?! "The second aunt's throat is split.
My mother didn't give an inch, "Is there a chance, then there is still a year!" Let's make it clear, do you want this money, does it have anything to do with Xiaochun? Xiaochun wants to make up classes? Xiaochun's grades have always been at the bottom, what's the use of him making up classes? It's not that you look like you're going to be demolished, so you take advantage of it, and with this money, you and the second child don't have to ......."
At this time, if you want to move back in situ, you still need to make up some money, the bungalow becomes a building, the specific details depend on how the house is, but however, the second aunt's plan, that is really everyone can figure it out, although her excuse is to use the money on Xiaochun's body, but in fact, ...... It's not that he buried his cousin, but Xiaochun's grades have been very stable, and in the end, he almost didn't graduate from vocational high school.
But as soon as the second aunt heard it, she immediately exploded, "You stinky!" Dare to call my son stupid? See if I don't tear you ......"
"Who scolds...... You are unreasonable! ”
In fact, it was really just a statement of facts, but the second aunt grabbed her mother's words, and this was about to happen.
"Second brother, don't drag your daughter-in-law back!" Grandma has come out, obviously making too much trouble.
But what about the second uncle?
"......" was speechless.
Bai Shiqiu could completely imagine what the second uncle looked like, because he had seen too much like this.
"Uncles and aunts! This old Bai family bullies people...... "The second aunt started to perform further, it was really amazing, and she burst into tears.
"Oh, this second daughter-in-law is really amazing."
"Old man Bai is also a little too ......"
"How can there be a bowl of water that is flat, a family of four."
The neighbors began to talk again, and there were even more people who laughed, this is better than a TV series, it is a live broadcast.
"Go home! You ......," Grandpa's voice came.
"You old thing! I'm not afraid of you! You are so eccentric, you will be struck by thunder from the sky! "The curse of the second aunt has been opened.
"You, you ......" the angry grandfather couldn't speak.
Bai Shiqiu knew that he couldn't let it go any longer, he knew what the result of this farce would be, the second aunt would succeed, the trouble was so fierce, not giving it to her would be partial, but, don't forget, the four children of grandparents, even if their parents don't care, but what about the other two?
This matter will get bigger and bigger, and the more troublesome it is, the more embarrassing it becomes, and Bai Shiqiu also knows that that money has nothing to do with his cousin.
So, the crowd was separated.
"Xiaoqiu, you've grown taller again."
"Oops! Xiaoqiu is back. ”
"This ...... It's beautiful again! ”
It's only been a few years since he moved here, and with Bai Shiqiu's childhood behavior, as well as his handsome face, it is difficult for the neighbors to forget him.
Bai Shiqiu could only simply say hello, and his appearance naturally stopped the farce of the Bai family temporarily.
"Qiu, you're here...... "Grandma, this is just a statement, and it's hard to say anything at this time."
Grandpa is simple, "Come, come to grandpa!" ”
"Why did you come back?" Mom, this is obviously angry.
"Son, that ......" Dad was at a loss.
"Wait a minute, I'll talk to my aunt." Bai Shiqiu just greeted him, and then he came to the front of the second aunt, and squatted down, "Auntie, don't worry, how about waiting for a year?" In a year, I will definitely be admitted to the university, and I will put my words here, and all the neighbors will testify that I am in vain and will be admitted to a famous university in the capital! If you can't pass the test, I'll give you this 10,000 yuan! ”
Originally, the second aunt, who performed very well, was blinded at that time.
