Chapter 24 Enlightenment
My father finished his meal in a few bites, then picked up some water from the ditch with his hands, drank a few sips, and walked forward again.
The mother packed up the lunch box again, handed it to Li Jun and said: "Child, you have grown up, now you know everything, parents hope that their children will be more promising, and they can live a better life in the future, you take the lunch box home, make your own food, after eating, Xiaoqi comes to find you, you can go directly, your father and I will not send you, this is the key to the house, you can put the key in the room and bring the door directly when you leave." ”
Li Jun took the key and lunch box and walked back through his own land and the neighbor's land to the road, his heart was also churning, his parents were really good-hearted, he must study hard and not let down the hard work of the old people.
When he walked to his own land, he saw that his younger brother was still playing with water next to the well while looking at the well, looking leisurely, the lunch box his mother took was empty, it seemed that he had already eaten, so he walked over and packed his lunch box, and then said to his younger brother: "Xiao Xiang, although your junior high school is not very good, but I also hope that you can study hard, brother, I haven't studied hard in junior high school for three years, and now it is a little laborious to listen to classes in high school, and our parents also sincerely hope that we can all have a good future Don't suffer anymore, I used to be young in junior high school, and I didn't know much, but now that I look back, I really regret not studying hard, so my brother hopes that you won't follow in my footsteps", he touched his brother's head with his hand, "I went home to eat, clean up and leave, and I left for a week, and if you want to eat your parents this week, don't always make them unhappy."
Li Xiang took out a handful of water in the well pool with his hand, washed his face and said: "Brother, I know, I'm not young anymore, I also understand everything, you have to study hard when you go to school, that Fang Ning, I see if the two of you have broken up, since you broke up, I also hope that my brother will not affect your study because of this matter." ”
Li Jun shook his head helplessly, the children now, they are really little ghosts, and they no longer pay attention to their younger brothers, they are all from this era, they are obedient and know, and they all feel that they know everything and understand everything, Li Jun put the lunch box in the basket of the bicycle that his mother rode over, and walked home quickly when he got up the bike, and the wind brought by the bicycle blew on his face and neck, and the wound felt better after drying the sweat.
After returning home, Li Jun locked the door, and then went to take a shower, when the foam of shampoo and soap flowed on the wound, Li Jun only felt the pain in his heart, the hot face and the whole neck were like burning, it was easy to grin and take a shower, Li Jun changed into a clean clothes, turned on the electric fan and blew the fan to eat, his mother made winter melon ball soup for Li Jun today, Li Jun ate a steamed bun and a bowl of soup, put away the bowl and lay back in his room to wait for Gao Qi to come to him and go to school together.
The ceiling fan on the roof was buzzing, Li Jun was lying on the bed with a mat naked, because the weather was too hot, the bamboo mat was not a little cool, although the gear of the fan had been turned on to the maximum, but he still sweated all over, and the wound hurt again, Li Jun had to get up and walk to the side of the water pipe and wash his face with cold water a few times, and he was also uneasy when he lay on the bed again.
In the three years of junior high school life, his parents have never taken care of him a little more, and his parents should know about the play in school, but he has never said about him, let alone anything to the side, only his mother's nagging, and today he first deliberately let him go to the field to suffer and suffer, and then his father used the matter of watering the ground to emphasize that he should study hard, it can be seen that his parents do not ignore him, but feel that he is independent enough outside these years, and today at the beginning of high school life, he emphasized that learning is important to life, the impact on the future, it can also be seen that his parents don't want him to live like before, and be able to be truly self-reliant and self-reliant.
Li Jun picked up the diary written to Fang Ning from under the pillow, flipped it up from the beginning, looking at the affectionate words and melancholy and sad poems that he had written in the previous month, he really felt ashamed of his parents' teachings for so many years, his parents were reluctant to eat, reluctant to drink, and saved some money for themselves to go to a good school, but what they were doing, taking their parents' hard-earned money to squander, in the years when they should have studied hard, they thought about the wind and snow, thinking about love, What's even more sad is that for the sake of a girl, you are willing to fall and not seek progress, which is really hateful.
Thinking of this, Li Jun stuffed the diary directly into the bottom layer of the desk where he and his brother were writing their homework, and then opened the letter to Fang Ning, read it several times, and wanted to tear it up and throw it away, but in the end he didn't muster up the courage, so he picked up the pen again and wrote later: "No matter what, I hope we will study hard in the past seven years and strive for a better future!" When he had finished writing, he folded it back into a figure of four instead of the previous heart, and put it in an envelope.
After this tossing and turning, the time had pointed to three o'clock, Li Jun didn't have the heart to sleep anymore, and saw that the clothes washed by his mother had been dried, so he folded the clothes and put them in the backpack, and then took out a tape of Zheng Zhihua from the drawer and put it in the tape recorder to listen and wait for Gao Qi to come over.
When Li Jun was singing "Don't Cry My Favorite Person", there was a knock on the door outside the door, Li Jun remembered that he didn't open the door after going home to take a shower and touching the door, so he quickly ran out to open the door, opened the door and saw that it was not Gao Qi but the previous neighbor Yang Xinli, seeing that he was also riding a bicycle, and the car was also tied with luggage Li Jun was stunned at first and asked: "Xinli, you are also a county high school student, I heard that you went to the city to go to secondary school, and I haven't seen you during military training?" ”
Yang Xinli pushed the car into the gate first, parked the car and said: "Alas, don't say that I originally planned to go to secondary school, but the score of the secondary school is higher than that of high school. Saying that, there is also a helpless face, and now after graduating from the secondary school, they are still in charge of arranging work, so the score of the secondary school is much higher than that of some key high schools. Yang Xinli's uncle seems to be working in Shijiazhuang, and he previously said that he was going to go to a traffic school and would be assigned to work in the Transportation Bureau after graduation, so Li Jun didn't go to him when he was in high school at the beginning, but just went to report with his father.
"High school is not bad, there are a lot of our junior high school classmates, Xiaoqi will come to me in a while." Li Jun led Yang Xinli into the house, the temperature outside had risen to 36 degrees, and it was cooler to have an electric fan blowing in the house.
"Gauge is also in high school!" Yang Xinli is also very happy, Yang Xinli, Li Jun, and Gao Qi junior high school are also in the same school as DZY Middle School, but he is in the same class as Qin Jie, but because they are in a village, they are also very familiar with going to and from school together.
"Well, your class Qin Jie and Yuan Yamin are now in the same class as me in high school, do you know how many classes you are in? Xiao Qizi is in the second class. Li Jun introduced his junior high school classmates to Yang Xinli.
"It seems to be class four", Yang Xinli didn't know very well, but vaguely remembered that it was class 4, "Let's ask when we get to school, what time do we leave?" ”
"When I went home yesterday, I made an appointment with Xiao Qizi that he came to me at 3 o'clock, and it was almost 3 o'clock, so he should be coming soon," Li Jun said as he looked up at the wall clock hanging on the wall.
As he was talking, he heard the sound of the door, Li Jun looked out of the window and saw Gao Qi pushing the door and walking in, and Li Jun and Yang Xinli also walked outside.
"Qi, you push the car in, let's rest for a while and then go, it's too hot now, Xinli also goes with us, his secondary school didn't go to it, so he can only mix with us in high school." Li Jun laughed.
Gao Qi also saw Yang Xinli, and at the same time, when he entered the door, he also saw the luggage and guessed the general situation, and said with a smile: "Okay, welcome Xinli to join our team again, there are many people, the more powerful we are, the more old brothers, the stronger we will be." ”
"Well, I'd rather go to school with a few of you, go home from school together, and laugh all the way with the same junior high school as before." Yang Xinli is also very happy, although he can't go to the city to go to secondary school and then arrange work, but he feels very happy to have these good buddies together.
"Why don't we go now, sooner or later, the trees on the side of the road are also big now, and there is no heat in the shade, and there are still a lot of things to do after we go back", he said and glanced at Li Jun meaningfully. Then he asked, "What about uncles and aunts?" Not at home? ”
"Alas, don't mention it, look at my face, a scar on my neck." Saying that, Li Jun pointed to his face and showed Gao Qi and them, "This time I went home to work and reform for a morning, and I went to the field to water corn, and now I haven't finished handing it over, my parents and second child are still in the field, if I didn't go back to school this afternoon, I'm still being destroyed in the field." ”
When Li Jun packed his backpack, he found an extra hundred yuan in the place where he put money and meal tickets in front, which should have been put by his mother when he was working in the field in the morning, and his heart couldn't help but feel hot, parents' love for their children is like a trickling stream, never stopping for a moment, and they never thought of getting a little return from their children.
After Li Jun packed all the things, he finally put the letter written to Fang Ning in a pocket at the back of his backpack, then put the key on the table in the middle of his parents' room, pushed the car and Gao Qi and Yang Xinli walked out of the gate and turned over and touched the lock of the gate.
The dense shade of the tree in front of the door was cooler than in the house, and a loud sound came from the dense leaves of the tree, which was many years old, and two adults could not hold it, and there were several magpie nests in the tree, and in the evening flocks of magpies flew up and down from the trees, chirping.
Fortunately, now when the leaves of the trees are the most luxuriant, the three people riding all the way through the shade of the trees are not as hot as imagined, and most of the people are taking a lunch break at this time, there are basically no pedestrians on the road, the three people are riding the car and you are chasing me and walking forward quickly, and it takes about 30 minutes to ride to the door of the county high school.
Because it is the reason for the students to return to school, the door of the high school is also open, and many students with luggage and packages at the door have entered the school, and the bustling crowd is also extremely lively, Li Jun and Gao Qi have become Yang Xinli's guides, and Yang Xinli has to report to the academic affairs office first, and Gao Qi will happily take him to the academic affairs office if he is fine.
Li Jun thought that he would first find Liu Guangchao and help him bring back the reply letter to Fang Ning, so he said to them: "Qi, then you can take Xinli to report, anyway, you are more familiar with the school than me, I still have some things, let's get together again when we go back, Xinli our dormitory is in 301, Gao Qi is in 305, you can go to the dormitory to find us." ”
Gao Qi understood Li Jun's thoughts and didn't say much, but Yang Xinli said: "Okay, you can get busy first, I'll go find you when you find out here." With that, he followed Gao Qi to a nearby courtyard.
Li Jun rode directly towards the dormitory building without stopping, and the liveliness of the dormitory building and the new student registration meeting did not change, and many returning students brought all kinds of things from home, including clothes, food, and drink, and were greeting each other and untying things from their bicycles.
Li Jun parked the car directly in the carport in front of the building, he just took a few changes of clothes, his mother once said that she wanted to get him some pickles or fried bean paste to bring to the school to eat, Li Jun refused, the weather is too hot now, and he can't put anything he can't put, so he just don't bring anything and buy it directly in the canteen.
After parking the car, Li Jun went up to the third floor with his backpack on his back, there were already a lot of people coming and going in the corridor, all of them greeted warmly, Li Jun did not go to his dormitory but walked directly to Liu Guangchao's dormitory in the west, let him give the letter to Fang Ning as soon as possible or start their seven-year covenant as soon as possible, Li Jun is still full of confidence in his seven years now, and he feels that he must be able to wait, and then in the new chapter of the new years that is about to begin, can he really keep his promise? Perhaps from the moment he wrote this, the wheel of fate began to take a different turn.
