Chapter III
In the end, he still couldn't overcome his wildness (this was the ninety-second reincarnation of the monkey in the world), he couldn't adapt to that environment, he wasn't used to a large group of people, sitting in an all-white room, he also tried, but he still couldn't get used to it.
So slowly he and her no longer heard such quarrels as before.
"You're not small anymore, what's good and what's bad, why can't you tell it! I don't sit in a good classroom, and I think about running around the fields all day long. ”
He and her have always said whatever they have, and they have never shied away from anything.
"That's my life, and I love it."
"Is your life just a few fish, a few corn cobs! This shouldn't be your world, your world should be outside, you still have to go to high school, you have to go to college, you have to get out of this village and go to a bigger city. ”
Words like a few fish, a few corn cobs, pierced his heart deeply.
Once, during a meal, a male classmate made a bet with other classmates, and if he lost the bet, he needed to accept the punishment of losing, which was to take off her hairpin.
And this scene happened to be seen by him, just when the male classmate who lost the bet was about to win, he suddenly ran forward, pushed the male classmate away with his hand, and fought with the male classmate. This matter has also made trouble in the school principal's office, which is actually not a big deal, that is, it is necessary to write a review and reflect on it on the spot in front of all the teachers and students of the school.
He did not write this review, and he voluntarily chose to drop out. This matter soon reached the ears of his mother, and because of this, his mother did not eat for several days, and then slowly figured out that it may not be the material to be a "sir". Let him go! He's so old that he can make his own decisions.
That's how he dropped out of school, the desks and benches were all moved home with the help of his brother-in-law, he didn't go to school, and he knew that it wasn't a glorious thing.
After returning home, the people in the village began to talk about it, saying that this child was finished in the future, and he would not be able to study well, and he would have to do the work of mud legs, which would not be able to survive as a ghost.
The day after he dropped out of school, he began to work in the fields, and the two acres of paddy fields behind the house had been left like that since the rice was cut, and he had planned to ask someone to plow it out in the past few days, but because of his withdrawal from school, it was delayed.
He offered to plow the two fields, and no one objected. If he was still in school, his family would definitely not agree, because since ancient times, "Mr. " has been highly respected, and it is impossible to do mud leg work. And he is not now, so it stands to reason that plowing should be his job, and he is the only labor in the family.
He had never ploughed the land before, but he had such an idea before, but he had long been dispelled by the village custom of "sir" supremacy. But though he hadn't practiced it, he had seen how others ploughed the ground. It is nothing more than a large tree branch tied with hemp rope in the shape of a "man", one end on the back of the ox, the other end tied to the plow, and then one hand holding the handle of the plow, the other hand holding the whip, whipping the ox to make it move forward.
So he relied on what he saw and began to put it into practice. I thought it should be a simple thing, but in the actual operation process, there are many problems. The oxen did not have long to go, and then rested on the edge and ate the grass on the ridges. So he shook the whip in front of the ox's eyes, thinking that it would be frightened, and began to plow, but it was not what he thought. He was reluctant to whip the ox with a whip, because he had the impression that the ox was so industrious, hardworking, and hard-working (the impression in the books). But what, in reality, it's not like that.
He knew that if he continued to spend like this, the day's work would have to be delayed like this. Out of impatience, he whipped our most loyal friend with a whip. However, there was also an unexpected effect, and the oxen began to plow the land. Fortunately, he ploughed out both fields with all his might. After plowing, he immediately felt a sense of accomplishment, knowing that this was his first time plowing.
But when he rested for a while and looked back at his "work", he always felt that something was wrong. So he compared his own "works" with those of others, and finally found the problem. When someone else ploughs the ground straight, but his own plough is crooked, he ploughs diagonally. He was afraid that it would affect the next year's harvest, so he invited a "connoisseur" from the village to help him see how to solve the problem.
After reading it, the "expert" did not give any solution, but just said:
"You've done a great job"
He was a little puzzled and asked
"This crookedness will not affect the harvest next year."
"Why, ploughing is just to loosen the soil and better retain the rain and air. As for whether the plow is smooth or crooked, it is related to experience, the plow has been ploughed for a long time, and it will naturally be smooth, and it is really good that you can plow like this, and there is always a first time in everything. ”
After listening to the words of the "expert", he felt much more down-to-earth in his heart, and the day's work was over. This is his first time, the real meaning of labor, there is an indescribable sense of achievement, this sense of achievement is different from doing a right question in school, getting praise from the teacher, this should be regarded as the sense of achievement of rural working people! He's no longer a student.
