In March, the weather is getting warmer. The ice and snow that filled the yard were instantly drained by the spring breeze. The begonia trees and apricot trees in the garden gradually reveal indifferent green marks, unconsciously adding a wisp of vitality to the spring of the small courtyard.

Xiaohong was washing dishes in the kitchen, the water splashing on the back of her hand kept tumbling and jumping, like a layer of white foam, broken and raw, raw and broken, without any stop.

The sunlight poured in from the window and fell into the basin, shining with an ethereal light, as if these bright and joyful days were mixed into a net that no longer overlapped.

On such days, my father and mother were even busier, and they began to plant vegetables in the field again, and the vegetable seedlings became more expensive in their hands.

The sunlight in the window is just right, After Xiaohong finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, she silently picked up the small watering can on the windowsill and slowly watered the flowers. These flowers have been well cared for by grandma, and although they have experienced such a long winter, they can still bloom such bright flowers, which are much more tenacious than weak human nature.

When I think of myself, compared with these sunny flowers, if I can't withstand the wind and rain, I'm afraid they will all wither and wither. Grandma is particularly fond of flowers, she raises flowers, all year round, the oleander in the corner of the wall has been raised for ten years, in sufficient nutrients, it grows tall and big, particularly pleasing, its flowering appearance is also particularly attractive, like a butterfly that has fallen full of trees, inciting tender wings, in a small space, silently exuding an extraordinary fragrance, will always make people feel infinitely emotional.

Sun Xiaohong stood silently in front of the window, she suddenly remembered everything about herself, and her face was full of frustration. Living in such a complicated world, she can only bow her head and accept it, otherwise what can she do. But she was not willing to be depressed like this. Any reason is an excuse, people have to have a little ambition to live, and they have to do something for themselves! If you don't have any ambitions, what's the difference between you and the living dead of the walking dead?

Hearing the "quack" of geese in the courtyard, Sun Xiaohong knew that someone was coming outside the courtyard again. She followed the sound and walked out of the courtyard to take a look, and saw Guo Yanmei standing at the door, smiling at her. Her sudden appearance made Xiaohong very puzzled.

It's been a long time since I've seen her. I heard that she went to a key high school in the city to repeat her studies, this time should be the most intense review stage, she left the school without permission to see herself at home, there must be some special situation! Otherwise, what is it?

Thinking like this, she unhappily let her into the house, and the old classmates met by chance, and it must have been a forgetful greeting. Xiaohong asked this and that curiously, and asked, her face became gloomy: "The foundation of our classmates is good, it is rare to go to the city to review, today's college entrance examination must be no problem, look at how good you are, all of them have a bright future, I really envy you!" ”

"What is there to envy! Actually, you can also go, you are afraid of wolves and tigers, and you don't have any opinions in your heart. Now there are more than 100 days left in the college entrance examination, if you want to go, I will go back and ask you, now the school does not charge fees, this time to go is the critical period, it seems that there is no problem if you go! Guo Yanmei's words are indeed right, now the school is mocking the exam, if Sun Xiaohong goes now, she can just catch up, if she does well, the college entrance examination will definitely be expected. If such a good opportunity is missed, then no one can help her!

"I don't go to school to make a mess, I've been throwing cultural classes for nearly half a year, during this time, I've been helping the family, and I don't have the heart to read, I haven't even touched a page of books, I haven't touched books for so long, I'm afraid I've forgotten all the knowledge I learned before, right? You asked me to go to school to review now, I don't know anything, and now I am in a sedan chair and my ears and eyes, so can I still rush? Forget it, I don't have the life to go to college in my life, so I don't force it, I can barely get through the book, and I graduated from high school anyway, and I know a few big words, and it is not in vain. Sun Xiaohong said self-deprecatingly, facing something she was not sure of, she was also helpless.

"You don't have to be so pessimistic, if the foundation is not good, no matter how much you review, your grades are not optimistic, and you are not as stressed. Some students really worked hard to study all day and night, but after the test results came out, they still stayed put, they became less and less confident in themselves, and they almost collapsed. When people live, they really can't fight with fate. By the way, I came today just to tell you something very sudden, do you know, our township seems to have recently wanted to take a group of private teachers from our graduates, I don't know if you have heard of it. No, my dad was afraid that I wouldn't be sure about going to university, so he deliberately found someone to go to school and urge me back! ”

"If there is such a thing, who are you listening to, why don't I know! If you can really be a private teacher, the books over the years will not be in vain, at least you can exert some energy and make some contributions to the next generation. That's a good thing! But I don't even have time to read, so what can I take to take the test? Xiaohong looked at Guo Yanmei in surprise and said.

"If you have the intention to plant flowers and flowers and not bloom, and you have no intention of planting willows and willows into the shade, there is nowhere to see this! The less confident you are, the more likely you will be able to pass the exam. It's not that I'm talking about you, you look at you, squinting at home all day long, you don't go out of the door and don't enter like a lady, what's good in the village, no one comes to tell you, how can you know? I'll just say you're the way you are, if you stay at home for another two years, you're going to be stupid! ”

"No, such an opportunity is really rare, do you know what the conditions are?" Sun Xiaohong asked.

"It's okay to graduate from high school, it seems that there is a limit on age, you can't be more than 25 years old, I think, it's just right for you to participate, maybe you can get in. I just came to tell you that when the time comes to go to the exam, let's go to the exam room together, and have a companion! Maybe you can get in! Guo Yanmei said in detail.

"Can it work? I haven't touched a book for a long time, and I should be embarrassed if I can't pass the exam by then! Sun Xiaohong touched her forehead, and she said very unconfidently.

"Can it still work, you can get rid of that, it will work. Compared with those candidates in the village, you are much better than them, you don't take the test for other content, you can take the middle and high school courses, the questions are not difficult, they are all the content learned in the book, it is not difficult for you at all, you have to take the test, you can be admitted for sure, what are you afraid of. It seems that tomorrow morning you will get the registration of the central school in the village, sign up for seven days, and don't wait for lunch, you have to take it seriously! If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to look for it again! Guo Yanmei was afraid that Sun Xiaohong would retreat, so she urged her in an aggravated tone. Seeing her mysterious appearance, Sun Xiaohong's heart was shaken. I thought it was not bad to be a private teacher, so I simply nodded.

"There's a good thing here, of course I'm going to give it a try. Okay, that's it, I'll take my graduation certificate to the school tomorrow to register, and I'll look for books to review when I come back, if you have any good books in your hand, find a few for me to see! After speaking, Sun Xiaohong nodded vigorously, and she agreed!

The two talked about some inconsequential topics, and Guo Yanmei didn't sit at home for a while before leaving. The news she brought to Xiaohong was like a timely rain, dissolving all the indifference in her heart. When they slowly walked out of the alley, Guo Yanmei held Xiaohong's hand and said embarrassedly: "Xiaohong, go to my house for a while, Lu Mingyuan is here!" Our family likes him a lot, and after meeting his parents, we can socialize normally! ”

"Isn't that great? You two get along so well, I'm not going to bother you as a light bulb. When it's time to eat the candy, don't pull me down! Sun Xiaohong stopped and looked at Guo Yanmei beside her, she didn't go forward anymore.

"Thank you for that! Without you and Gao Zhixian, we wouldn't be able to get together! The corners of Guo Yanmei's mouth rose and she smiled embarrassedly. The flush on her face flickered in the sunlight with a slightly charming brilliance.

Sun Xiaohong smiled, she didn't speak, her emotional intelligence is not high, this matter has nothing to do with herself, to say that the person Guo Yanmei should be most grateful for is Gao Zhixian, and she and Lu Mingyuan don't know each other, this word thank you is still free!

Thinking of taking the private teacher exam, Sun Xiaohong was suspicious again, the college entrance examination is about to begin, and the school is so nervous about reviewing, how could Guo Yanmei and her father let her come back to apply for the private teacher exam? Didn't he do this in vain? I heard that I had to work for eight years to be admitted to a private teacher before I could have a chance to become a regular teacher, but he actually let his daughter give up such a good opportunity to become a private teacher, which is really incomprehensible.

After sending Guo Yanmei away, Sun Xiaohong couldn't wait to return home, she rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the house to find a lot of books, and then stacked them on the table one by one. Looking at these books, Sun Xiaohong sighed again.

It's glass that always has to glow, but this piece of glass is too thick with dust, and if no one scrubs it, it will become dull. I didn't expect it to emerge from the muddy soil like a rainstorm, and I didn't expect it to have a chance to see the light of day again. Her heart, which was about to hibernate, was active again.

She spent nearly a morning in the house, and finally put these textbooks, which had been silent for a year, out in the sun, and these dusty books, like abandoned old things, were reused, and she felt that she still had some meager value.
