Chapter Ninety-Two: He Couldn't Integrate into City Life
"Xu Shu!" The man cried out in surprise.
"Zhang Yi, why are you here?" Xu Shu asked.
"My home is in that small village in the west of the city...... Zhang Yi laughed, and then looked at Xu Jie and Liu Ming, a little surprised, and it was not easy to ask, because ......
Liu Ming is so old, it is unlikely that she is Xu Shu's daughter, right? She should have been in the troupe at that time, right?
"This is my girl, this is my boy, this is my lover's ......" Seeing the question mark on Zhang Yi's face, Xu Shu generously introduced it.
"Oh, oh......" The question mark on Zhang Yi's face was even bigger, and she muttered in her heart: Her girl ...... When did she have such a big girl?
"Your village is now in the city?" Xu Shu didn't know how to express it.
"That's pretty much what it means, there are fewer and fewer students in the elementary school, and now it's in the county seat, I think it's better." Zhang Yi smiled, "That is a better condition." ”
"yes......"
"Hey, are you guys out playing?"
"Oh, my girl was admitted to Huizhong, and I plan to let the kid go to the city to go to elementary school."
"Wow, that's amazing! Can you enter the wisdom? It's awesome. Zhang Yi gave a thumbs up.
"Thanks for the compliment!" Xu Shu smiled, very brightly.
Some people praised him, but Liu Ming's face was red shyly.
"Oh, by the way, which school is your son going to plug into?"
"Xinran Elementary School."
"Ah, it's a coincidence, my cousin's daughter is also going to be inserted, it's a good elementary school, but it's also difficult to get in, it's tomorrow's exam, right?" Zhang Yi said.
"yes, tomorrow's exam." Saying that, Xu Shu seemed to remember something, and became a little anxious, "We have to go back, the child has to rest early, and the exam will be tomorrow." ”
"Well, that's, see you later!"
"Okay......
After saying goodbye to Zhang Yi, Xu Shu became anxious for no reason, don't meet any acquaintances next...... Otherwise, if you delay too long, you will be late...... She suddenly regretted going out for a walk.
But Xu Jie didn't seem to have a sense of anxiety, and still jumped up and down to lead the way.
Actually, Xu Shu knew where Zhang Yi's family was, no, before entering the city, she was still thinking about going to him first.
Later, there was no need to ask Zhang Yi, so naturally there was no need to go to him.
Because it took more than half an hour to help Fenglan load the goods, it was close to nine o'clock when they got home, so they washed up and fell asleep.
Xu Jie's psychological quality is really good, he has to take the exam the next day, he is as if he is fine, he is not nervous at all, and he falls asleep not long after lying down.
There are only about a dozen places for independent enrollment, but there are more than 100 people who come to take the exam, which is still an internal source to take the test, or the number of people who signed up after screening through the survey, all of them should be good, and the competition is also very fierce.
There are two subjects in the student selection examination, Chinese and Mathematics.
The exam time is from 8:30 to 9:30 in the morning, and from 10 to 11 o'clock.
The child is taking the exam, and the adult is more nervous than the child.
Fortunately, there is work in Xu Shu's canteen, busy, and when you are busy, you forget about nervousness.
To speak Mandarin, Xu Jie pronounces
It's not so standard, how many children in the countryside have a standard pronunciation? Teachers in the countryside are also not so formal.
But the good thing is that there is no oral exam, just a written test.
The written test is Xu Jie's forte.
Coming out of the countryside and suddenly entering such a big and good school, Xu Jie was more excited than nervous.
The first one is mathematics, mathematics is simple, and a few are a little difficult, but Xu Jie has learned all the mathematics in the second grade, and if he stands high and sees far, it will naturally be difficult for him. More importantly, the application questions, some children can't fully understand the topic because they don't have much literacy, but Xu Jie knows almost all the words under Xu Shu's education, so it is not difficult for him to understand the question well.
As a result, he was more confident after the exam.
The second is Chinese, there is no composition in the language, and there are a few pictures that are slightly more difficult to speak, but it is not difficult for Xu Jie. He listened to a lot of stories, and he could read the storybook by himself, so wouldn't it be very simple to look at the pictures and speak?
Therefore, after the Chinese test and walked out of the classroom, he happily said to Liu Hao, who was guarding the door: "It's not difficult, it's very simple." ”
Xu Shu works in the canteen, but there are leftovers in the canteen, and it's a pity that the leftovers are poured, and Master Wang also suggested that Xu Shu take them home, so there is no need to burn the lunch at noon, but it has to be late.
Eating leftovers made Liu Hao feel faceless again, he felt like a beggar, no different from begging for food.
But he couldn't express it, just whispered, "Eat other people's leftovers?" Why is this like this in my hometown? ”
He felt spineless eating other people's leftovers.
"Ah, these dishes are better than our own, and they are not eaten by others, but they can't be eaten, and no one has touched the chopsticks, but it is a pity to say that they are poured in the end, we call it saving! Every grain is hard, first of all, we must give everyone enough to eat, and we will not deliberately deduct it, and Master Wang will take home the leftovers. If there's nothing left, you have to eat the rest! If it is poured out, it is also for the pigs to eat, why can't we eat it? Xu Shu felt that she was cherishing food.
Liu Hao's self-esteem suddenly became unusually strong somehow, and he was like chewing wax for such a good meal.
Xu Shu is like a fish in water here, and she is very happy.
Liu Hao felt that he was a guest, and Xu Shu was the host. This hidden role mislocation makes him feel angry, but he can't say why.
"How good is my hometown, the mountains are my own, the land is my own, and the food is grown by myself...... Here, it's like begging ......."
"Then as you say, I will marry you, and the mountains will be yours, and the earth will be yours...... Wouldn't I have begged for food a long time ago? Xu Shu smiled and teased, feeling inexplicably in her heart, as if she really felt that way, no wonder she was more comfortable here.
Results will be announced in the evening.
Xu Jie has a good foundation, and after Xu Shu entered the city, Liu Ming tutored him every day for the content of the second grade, and he thought that this test was no problem.
Hearing that he said that the test was okay, the family became happy, and then Xu Shu went to the landlord's house to borrow a hoe.
"We should be able to settle down here, and in the good afternoon we went and turned over the vegetable patch behind the landlord's door." Xu Shu said after handing the hoe to Liu Hao.
"But...... That's not good, after all, it's someone's land. Liu Hao was stunned.
"You see that they are all barren, their children are outside, and the elderly are inconvenient, let's plant, they can eat us if they plant, and we can eat it, so it won't be wasted."
As soon as Xu Shu said this, Liu Hao couldn't refute it anymore, although it was awkward, he had to carry a hoe and take everyone to turn over the ground.
The temperature in the small county town is higher than in the countryside, and it is easier to grow any vegetables, so they grow a little bit of all kinds of vegetables, including green beans, green vegetables, and radishes......
By five o'clock in the evening, it was almost ready to be planted.
Just as they were about to finish work, they heard Master Wang barking outside their "pig nest" from a distance.
"Xu Shu ......"
"Oh, here we are!" Xu Shu came back with the two children first.
"Master Wang...... Come on, come inside and have a cup of tea. Xu Shu greeted politely.
"No, I'm here to tell you the good news, your child has been admitted! Is it called Xu Jie? 1st place! ”
"Yikes! It's true? ”
"Of course it's true, you go to see the list yourself, the list is only posted for a week, and it will be torn up next week."
"Okay......" Xu Shu became happy, regardless of whether it was time to cook dinner or not, she stood at the door and shouted Liu Hao, "Liu Hao, Xu Jie has been admitted, let's go and have a look together, I'll wash my face first and change my clothes." ”
The two children also hurriedly washed and changed their clothes...... Their clothes were a little old, but they were all shiny.
Although Liu Hao is a stepfather, he is also happy for Xu Jie, so he hurriedly came back with a hoe.
The list was posted in the promotional window at the entrance of the school.
Ah, Xu Jie is the first!
Xu Shu smiled stupidly, and Liu Hao also smiled.
Liu Ming clapped his hands and cheered, and Xu Jie's face turned red with excitement.
The child's dream is very concrete, for Xu Jie, this primary school is better than the rural primary school, this is the school he longs for, so of course, he is excited.
No one knows what this little dream means on the road of his life, but Xu Jie later recalled this experience, and he really sighed: Thanks to his mother who dared to run so hard, otherwise, if he didn't have the opportunity like Liu Ming, who knows how far he could go?
Xinran Primary School is good, and Huizhong Middle School is good...... These specific dreams have taken root in Xiao Xu Jie's heart, arousing his thirst for knowledge, and his incomparably strong desire for knowledge!
The adult was only happy, but he clenched his fists in private: I must be admitted to Huizhong!
The dust has finally settled.
There is still more than half a month before going to school, and then I have to find some work for Liu Hao, and it is not always possible to consume it.
But what should I look for?
Xu Shu remembered the matter of loading Fenglan, and wanted him to go to the wholesale market to find a job, and specially load cars for people...... However, she couldn't open her mouth, Liu Hao must be ashamed of this......
Do you want to sell something in batches?
Obviously, it doesn't work, Liu Hao's eloquence is not good, and he is even more ashamed to open his mouth to sell, and he doesn't have any capital in his pocket.
Why don't you go and find Zhang Yi?
No, no, if you don't get it right, you can destroy each other because of it
family, Liu Hao will definitely think more, Zhang Yi should also have a family, right? The other party will definitely think more.
However, Liu Hao can't ride a bicycle or drive a tricycle...... Hey, if you have the capital, you can pedal a tricycle, that freedom (there were no buses in the county at that time, there were no battery cars, and there were many tricycles on the road)...... But that has to wait until they can afford a tricycle, right?
What can you do? The diploma is not high, the technology is not high, and the craft is not learned...... Only farming.
Do you want to grow vegetables and sell them?
No matter which one they rely on to make a living, in Xu Shu's eyes, they are better than begging for food by herself.
But as soon as she spoke, Liu Hao shook his head like a rattle.
I don't know which of his tendons is wrong, he thinks nothing can be done.
"Loading people? Too embarrassed to speak? What's the difference between that and asking for food? ”
"Sell something? Will people buy it? ”
"Tricycles? Is it safe? ”
"Growing vegetables? Where does the land come from? ”
……
Why is he so negative?
If he was his own son, Xu Shu would definitely have roared.
But...... Forget it, Xu Shu simply didn't help him think about it, what's the matter with love, I'll take care of myself.
