Chapter 16: The Way to Heaven

The New Year is coming soon, but my life is still the same as before, no new clothes, no New Year's money, nothing. There's a lot more to do than ever. I have to help make dumplings, steam steamed buns, wash vegetables and shabu-shabu. In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, I almost stayed in the pot house, except for the pot shabu-shabu.

On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, after dinner. The three sons of the grandfather's brother's son's family came to pay New Year's greetings, that is, their nephews. Grandpa and Uncle smiled and gave three people New Year's money, but I watched from the side but didn't have a dime. No one thought of giving me New Year's money, even a dime.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, my aunt and uncle came with my brother and sister. I'm happy because I have someone to play with. And I like my brother and sister the most, they are very nice to me.

My uncle asked me how I was doing, and my father proudly told me about my scores, and then he asked my brother and sister about their scores. Unexpectedly, the two of them almost failed the exam.

"Do you still go to Xiong's school after taking this point? Hurry down and farm and see if it's easy to work or go to school......"

At lunchtime, my grandfather asked me to call my father over to eat together, because my aunt and they were here, so I couldn't let him eat alone.

I'm happy, even happier than the day of the real New Year. The adults talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very good. My aunt also brought a lot of delicious food, including melon seeds, sugar, fruits, and the like. There are also their own home-made products, such as fried balls, twist flowers and the like. And fried peanuts.

But happy times are always short-lived, and after dinner, my aunt and they will go back in the afternoon. Because I was on vacation, my aunt wanted to take me to play for two days. I really wanted to go, but my father said that he was afraid that my brother and sister would delay my studies, so I would not let me go. I also had to go, and my aunt had already carried me into the tractor, but in the end I let my father drag me down. I cried so loudly, but unfortunately it didn't work out in the end.

Later, when I grew up and chatted with my sister, she said, "You don't know, at that time, my brother and I wanted to ask you to go to my house to play, but there was no one at home, just three children, and every time I had to make a ghost cry wolf, and finally my uncle wouldn't let you go." Say that our grades are not good, and I'm afraid that it will lead you badly......"

But sister, do you know? Actually, I really want to go...... I want to play with you and my brother, I had so few friends at that time, and I was bored at home all the time, either reading or writing. Even my dad won't let me watch TV, and I'm as lonely as I am. At an age when it's supposed to be fun, you're bound and can't go anywhere.

After my aunt and the others left, I couldn't lift up for several days, and then my father saw me like that and said, "Your dad is dying, and you still want to go here and there all day?" You don't know when you die at home, do you know how to feel sorry for your father? ”

Since then I haven't thought about where I'm going, because my dad is the most important thing in the world, and there's no other place to do it.

School opened a little over two weeks later, and I was back in trouble. Because he had to pay tuition, Dad had no money. Looking at his sad appearance, I also felt very uncomfortable. However, I still wanted to go to school.

"Where do you get money? I can't help but let you go, right? Only in the third grade...... "Dad began to be at a loss as soon as he heard about the tuition fees.

"Who is willing to borrow it now, the money borrowed for your grandmother's illness is still full of holes. People are afraid that if I die, who will borrow it? ”

I really wanted to cry when I heard him say that, but I couldn't even do anything about it. Not only did I not help him at all, but I also added to his troubles.

It's been two days since the start of school, and I haven't paid my tuition yet. I could only read one book at my tablemate, and the teacher urged me several times. On the fourth day, my dad finally borrowed the tuition for me.

I can't forget the tears I had when I reached out and took the money, and I can't forget the helplessness when he gave me the money. He said, "Look how difficult it is to borrow some money now, you have lost your family, you are not as good as others, and no one can look up to you." So I let you study hard every day, are you still bored? If you don't study well, how can you get ahead, how can you be like a person? ”

My tears kept falling, it was heartache, it was helplessness...... But more of it is distressing, distressing his heartache, heartache and helplessness......

At that moment, I secretly made up my mind in my heart, I must study hard, and then let you raise your eyebrows!

A week after the start of school, the teacher announced that the whole school would hold a commendation meeting this Friday afternoon. Certificates and prizes are awarded to the top ten in each class. After that, he reported the top 10 in our class one by one. Because there are two tied for fourth and tenth, there are twelve in total.

I have no doubt that the first place is the first place, the second place is Li Yaowen, and the third place is Yang Jing, and the total score is five points less than me and Li Yaowen.

"You're so good, Bu Yi, you do so well in the exam every time!" Wang Yu, who was at the same table as me, said enviously: "I remember that you were the second last year, right?" This year, I will be in the first place! If only my grades could be as good as yours! ”

"Then you have to work harder, and if you work hard, your results will definitely be good." I said.

"But I'm just stupid, the language is fine, I just can't understand the math, and I fail every time!"

I smiled and didn't say anything more. At the end of the third period, Li Yaowen suddenly walked over, and I didn't pay attention until I heard his voice.

"Wow, these pictures are so beautiful, where did you get Li Yaowen?" It was Cai Qinqin, the girl in the front row of me, who spoke.

"This was given to me by my mother's colleague's child when I went to Shanghai for the Chinese New Year, and I bought one myself. I've already given a lot, and there's all that's left for you to pick and take! Then he looked at Wang Yu, who was sticking out his head, and said, "Wang Yu, you can choose whichever you like." ”

"Huh? Do I have that too? Wang Yu pointed at himself in disbelief, feeling a little flattered. After getting Li Yaowen's affirmation, she shouted at Cai Qinqin and Xu Haoran in front of her, "Hurry up, have you two picked it out, take a few and show me!" ”

"Not yet, what are you anxious about!" Cai Qinqin replied to her impatiently, and then gave her a few pictures that she had picked out and didn't want, "These will be given to you first!" ”

"Aren't these pictures of Zhu Gege? This concubine is so beautiful, but it's a pity that there is an emperor next to her. Little Swallow, this one isn't very good-looking......" She looked at it for a long time and suddenly thought of something, raised her head and asked, "How many can I pick?" ”

"You can pick as many as you want!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Qinqin in the front row turned her head and said, "Really? Can I ask for these three? ”

"Yes!" Li Yaowen nodded, Wang Yu looked at the picture picked by Cai Qinqin's hand, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Let her pick the good-looking ones, and the rest are nothing good-looking!" ”

"Then you don't want to!" Cai Qinqin held her back.

Wang Yu should be a little unhappy when she heard her words, but she said, "Do I want to care about you?" It's not yours again! ”

Seeing that Cai Qinqin still wanted to speak, Li Yaowen hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, don't quarrel between the two of you, isn't there a lot more?" As he spoke, he brought the rest of the pictures to Wang Yu's table with me.

"You can pick as many as you want!"

"Good! That's what you said, don't go back! Wang Yu spread out the picture as he spoke. Ah, there is also the wrong sedan chair to marry the right man, these two brides are so beautiful! ”

"Huh? Why didn't I see this just now! Cai Qinqin, who was in the front row, saw the picture of the two brides in the wrong sedan chair in Wang Yu's hand, and said with a little taste.

"It was in my hands just now, I didn't want it if I thought it was two women!" Xu Haoran next to her said.

"Why don't you give it to me?"

"How did I know you wanted it?"

Seeing the two people in the front row arguing happily and Cai Qinqin's angry face at the end, Wang Yu seemed to remember something. Pointing at me, he asked Li Yaowen, "Can Bu Yi be picked?" ”

"Yes!" Li Yaowen nodded and smiled, "As long as she likes it!" ”

"Really? That's great! Wang Yu pushed my arm as he spoke, and said excitedly, "Hurry up and see if there is anything you like, the opportunity is rare!" Pick and pick! ”

At her urging, I flipped through the pictures with my hands, and they were all beautiful. In addition to the pictures of Zhu Gege and the wrong sedan chair marrying the right man that Wang Yu said before, there are also pictures of Journey to the West and what is the best in the world. I flipped through it for a while and found that there was one that was very special because it was not a picture of a person, but a picture of a landscape.

The scene in the picture is like this, a beautiful route is paved with flowers and plants, leading to the sky, and the surrounding scene is white clouds, beautiful and dreamy.

I stretched out my hand and pulled out the picture, and when Li Yaowen saw the picture I was holding, he lowered his head and asked me, "Is this road to heaven beautiful?" ”

I looked up at him and saw that his eyes were shining, and I was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wang Yu, who stretched out his head, "It's not good-looking at all, it's not as good as my wrong sedan chair to marry the right man!" ”

Li Yaowen ignored her, and I didn't reply to his words. Cai Qinqin and Xu Haoran in the front row heard Wang Yu say that they had to look at the pictures I chose. I handed it to them, and they didn't react much. After Wang Yu was selected, Li Yaowen threw all the pictures to the people behind us. Let them choose and pass back, after which he returned to his seat.

When I got home, I took out the picture that Li Yaowen had given me. It was a beautiful road that stretched all the way to heaven. The road is surrounded by beautiful flowers and grasses, and some vine-like plants disappear from time to time under the clouds. I think if there is such a road in the world, no matter how far it is, I can go on it......
