Chapter 012: Two Letters

Not at all like a child who had never been to school, Principal Peng and the two teachers, a man and a woman, were both surprised and incredible. Another few minutes passed, Ye Xia endured the shame, and handed in the Chinese and mathematics test papers for the second semester of the second grade.

With this grade, it is appropriate to study in the third grade. But I don't know what the two teachers, a man and a woman, think, the two of them are like tricks, one takes out the math test paper of the second semester of the third grade, and the other picks up the Chinese test paper of the second semester of the third grade and gives it to Ye Xia, the female teacher: "Girl, you try to do these two test papers." ”

Ye Xia nodded without thinking, picked up the pen and brushed to write the answer, this time the time used was no different from the previous two times, when the two teachers finished reviewing, their eyes lit up directly, and they said to Principal Peng:

"Principal, this kid is talented, definitely talented, look at it, the answer is too standard, and then look at this word, this volume, even junior and senior high school students are afraid that they can't compare."

Listening to what the two teachers said, Ye Xia was very ashamed, she was a person in her hundreds, a medical researcher who had done a lifetime of projects, sitting here answering the exam papers of the first and second grade students, taking double hundred, and getting praise from the teacher again and again, and being called a talented child, this is really shameful!

"Principal, I think Jiang Xia can go directly to the fourth grade."

The middle-aged male teacher looked at Principal Peng with a serious face: "The math exam paper that Jiang Xia just did was the final exam paper of the third grade before the summer vacation, which has a certain degree of difficulty, but Jiang Xia answered a full score in a short period of time, if she is allowed to study the third grade again, it is a pure waste of time." The middle-aged female teacher echoed:

"Principal, I agree with Teacher Xue's proposal, Jiang Xia has absolutely no problem in studying the fourth grade, she has a solid foundation of pinyin, new words, and word combinations, and there is no need to waste a year in the third grade."

Jiang Xueshen listened to the words of the two teachers and quietly walked out of the office. Lose face! What a shame! My sister is in the fourth grade, and his brother is only in the third grade, and his sister is seven years old, and the first time she enters the school, she is going to become a fourth-grade student, but he has been sitting in school honestly for two years before he is admitted to the third grade.

Alas! Is he stupid?

No, if he is stupid, how does he get the first place in the grade every time he takes an exam? But then again, compared with his sister's answering speed, although he also won double hundred, but in front of his sister, the double hundred he got every time was not something to be proud of! Admit it, Jiang Xueshen, compared to your sister, you are actually really stupid!

Principal's Office.

"Jiang Xia, Teacher Xue and Teacher He both suggested that you study in the fourth grade, do you have any opinions?"

Principal Peng looked at Ye Xia amiably, and when she heard this, Ye Xia raised her head and looked at her father: "Dad, since it is the advice of the teachers, then I will study in the fourth grade, so that I can save a year of tuition." ”

Jiang An rubbed his daughter's head, both relieved and proud, and his heart was sour, he smiled: "You are not saving one year of tuition, you are directly saving three years of tuition for your father and your mother." ”

He is like this, he is in favor of Ye Xia studying in the fourth grade. ”

After registering, Jiang Xueshen and Ye Xia wanted to stay at school to clean up, and Jiang Xuexing wanted to be with his sister, so he didn't follow his father to the field.

"Five, you just sit here obediently, wait for my sister to sweep the floor, wipe the table and stool clean, and then take you to find the third brother, and then we will go home together."

found a piece of waste paper and spread it on the steps on the left side of the classroom door, Ye Xia told his younger brother, seeing that Douding nodded his head very seriously, Fang Zhuan walked into the classroom and cleaned the classroom with the three classmates of the first class of the fourth grade.

More than half an hour later.

"Third brother, are you unhappy?"

On the way home, Jiang Xueshen held his sister in one hand and his younger brother in the other, and he didn't say a word since he left the school, Ye Xia's big black grape-like eyes turned, and his voice was sweet and soft:

"Is it because I'm in fourth grade? But this seems to me to be nothing, as long as the third brother is willing, he can also choose to skip a grade next year, but the premise is that the third brother has to finish the fourth grade textbook in advance,"

"In this way, the third brother will jump directly to the fifth grade next year. Third brother, let me tell you, there was a classmate in Brother Haiyang's class, who didn't study at all, and he was in the first year of junior high school as soon as he went to school."

"It can be seen that there are many smart people in this world, if we compare with this, wouldn't it be too tiring? Besides, it's not necessary at all! We just have to do our best to be ourselves, and that seems perfect to me. ”

Ye Xia didn't lie, just now, during the summer vacation, her aunt's eldest cousin Song Haiyang had a trip back to the big pear tree, when Song Haiyang chatted with her eldest brother and second brother, and mentioned that there was a classmate in their first class of junior high school, who was nine years old and had never gone to school, and on September 1 last year, he went to Chu Zheng with their thirteen-year-old eldest children

After a while, Jiang Xueshen asked angrily, "Don't you laugh at me?" ”

Ye Xia looked at her third brother and tilted her head to kill: "Why are you laughing at you?" The third brother returned to the exam with double hundred, and I am very proud of the third brother. Jiang Xueshen's heart is still not beautiful: "But you haven't read the first, second, or third grades, and the test papers given by the teacher are not only fast, but also all of them are 100 points." ”

"Third brother, have you forgotten? Since I was three years old, my eldest brother and second brother have taught me to read, and then you have taught me, and these four years have passed, and I have taught me according to what you taught me."

"If you have nothing to do at home, you read, write, and do math problems, if you answer the questions like a turtle crawling, and a few duck eggs come out, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for you? Third brother, don't worry about it, you remember one sentence, I can go to the fourth grade today, and it's all thanks to you, my eldest brother and my second brother. ”

"Didn't lie to me?"

Jiang Xue was cautiously skeptical. Ye Xia's voice was sweet and glutinous: "Why should I lie to you? I'm all going to tell the truth, if you don't believe it, you ask five. ”

Jiang Xuexing is a clever ghost, when he heard the conversation between his sister and the third brother, he didn't give the third brother a chance to open his mouth at all, he raised his voice: "Third brother, my sister never deceives people." ”

As an assist, Jiang Xuexing never disappointed his sister.

……

"Captain, what are you? Your Xia Xia passed the school exam and went directly to the fourth grade? ”

The members of the club were turning over the ground in the ground, and I don't know which one heard Jiang An leaking out of excitement, and shouted in a short time, which caused all the members in the field to be envious and jealous.

It is difficult for the farmer's child to study, even if the tuition fee is two yuan and five yuan a semester, for the farmer's family, two yuan and five yuan is not money, and the captain's family has to support four children to study so far.

If someone in the whole big pear tree is not envious, it is absolutely fake, not to mention, the mother-in-law of the captain of the people's congress has eaten the benefits of her daughter, eaten the grain supplied by the state, and has a salary every month.

Now, the only baby girl is seven years old, and she should be in the first grade, clinker, and the baby is angry with his parents, and he actually passed the school's skipping exam, crossed the first, second, and third grades, and officially entered the fourth-grade classroom tomorrow, saving his parents three years of tuition.

Just think about it, save 2.5 yuan a semester, save 5 yuan a year, and 15 yuan for three years.

"Yes, Principal Peng allowed my family Xia Xia to go to the fourth grade."

Jiang An looked proud, and heard a member of the club speak with envy: "Captain, your children are all reading materials, and in a few years, there will be five college students in your family!" ”

Jiang An waved his hand and smiled: "This is not allowed, you have to wait until they finish junior high school and high school, and they can't know until they take the college entrance examination." ”

The member of the club said: "The captain is modest, which of our brigade doesn't know that your family is cautious, learns words, and learns to learn cautiously, and now we know that your family Xia Xia is a good material for reading, in the future, you and Lin Lan's sister-in-law are waiting to be taken to the big city by a few babies to enjoy the blessings!" ”

Wang Zhishu turned the ground a little farther away from Jiang An, but Jiang An's words vaguely reached his ears, and he felt very uncomfortable when he heard it. He also has a lot of children, but none of the children who have studied on the dragon and phoenix fetus are smart, and they don't study in high school, or none of them can read in junior high school.

All of them didn't graduate, if he hadn't thought of stuffing the third child to the commune police station, the brothers would have to face the loess and farm at home.

Now, the dragon and phoenix fetus and Jiang An's family are in the third grade in the first class, the brothers and sisters, one is in the middle of the grade, and the other is at the bottom of the class in the exam, to be honest, his old face has really been lost by a litter of cubs!

People can't compare with people, I want him to be strong for a lifetime, but he gave birth to a litter of bear cubs, and then look at Jiang An, all five babies can take out their hands, don't read first, just the appearance of those five cubs,

In their brigade, they are all handsome, not to mention that they have a smart brain, and they don't have to worry about Jiang An and his family at all when they study, especially that girl, who is simply a blessing doll.

The discovery of a hole in the mountain and the discovery of wild sweet potatoes in more than two acres of land in the canyon made her father's prestige in the eyes of the team members one to one, and it had already shown a momentum to suppress him.

Officially entering the village to study, Ye Xia seems to go to and from school on time and listens carefully to the teacher's lectures, but as long as the teacher is not in the classroom, she holds a pencil and writes and draws in the book.

Within half a month, she was caught by the teacher by chance, but after she answered the teacher's questions accurately and fluently, and told the teacher that she had finished studying the textbook in the fourth grade by herself.

Ask the teacher to directly produce the final exam papers, and with a suspicious heart, the two teachers who taught Ye Xia fourth-grade Chinese and mathematics took the time to take out two test papers and led Ye Xia to the office to answer the questions.

There was no suspense, Ye Xia got two hundred, and since then, in class, no matter what Ye Xia did, the substitute teacher did not intervene again.

"Xia Xia, why do you have a letter from the capital and the provincial capital?"

The turned over land has been planted with crops, in order to be able to get more food, the brigade has prevented the members of the club from carrying water to water the farmland that cannot be irrigated by the river.

After work at noon tonight, he was walking home when he happened to meet the postman who came into the village to deliver a letter, and unexpectedly, there were two letters from his family, and both of them were written to his daughter.

There are many doubts in his heart, no, he stepped into the courtyard door with his front foot, and when he raised his eyes, he saw his daughter sitting at the table in the courtyard teaching pinyin to his young son, Jiang An opened his mouth and asked.

Hearing this, Ye Xia assigned homework to her younger brother, looked at her father, her eyebrows and eyes were like crescent moons, and her voice was sweet and soft: "The letter from the capital should be written by Cheng Junlang to me, as for the other one, I will submit an article to a newspaper in the provincial capital when I first start school, and most of them reply to me." ”

According to the style of this era, Ye Xia has submitted poems and stories to the newspaper, and there are illustrations with her own drawings in the stories, and she hopes to earn some manuscript fees and tickets through submissions to supplement the life of her family.

The ticket was specially marked in the letter she submitted, but the newspaper society would not agree, and she had no bottom in her heart.

"Cheng Junlang?"

Jiang An was a little unfamiliar with this name, but after a while, he seemed to think of something, and said: "Is it Cheng Lao's grandson?" ”

Ye Xia took the letter from her father and nodded with a smile: "It's Grandpa Cheng's grandson, and he corresponded with me when he left our house." ”

Jiang An was puzzled: "What did he write to you for?" Don't you want to spend money? ”

Ye Xia smiled and explained: "Communicate and learn, make progress together, Dad, this communication only needs to be stamped, and it doesn't cost a few dollars." ”

"Dad knows, but the stamps also cost money to buy, forget it, since it is Cheng Lao's grandson who offered to communicate with you, then you should make a friend, and you can learn about the capital from his letter, and then you will be admitted to the university in the capital, and you can be familiar with it there."

Ye Xia's eyebrows curled, and she said "oh", and then, she first opened the letter from the provincial capital, and took out a remittance slip and a dozen tickets, as well as two pieces of stationery.

Looking at the remittance slip and ticket in his daughter's hand, Jiang An's eyes widened instantly: "Xia Xia, how can there be tickets and remittance slips in this letter?" ”

Handing the envelope to her father, Ye Xia said in a childish voice: "This is a letter from the provincial newspaper, Dad, you probably didn't see it just now." ”

Jiang An was surprised: "Provincial newspaper? ”

How did his daughter know someone from the provincial newspaper? Without waiting for Jiang An to ask, Ye Xia briefly described her submission, and then she showed her father a ten-yuan remittance slip: "Dad, you have this remittance slip, there are ten yuan." ”

Then, she stuffed the sugar tickets, cloth tickets and other tickets in her hand into her father's hand: "The tickets will be handed over by my father to my mother for safekeeping, and I will go to read the letter!" After she sat back at the table for a while, Jiang An didn't come back to her senses.

His daughter submitted an article to the provincial newspaper, not only did she win, but the provincial newspaper also sent his daughter a ten-yuan remittance slip and sent so many tickets, how is this like a dream?

"Xia Xia...... Daddy wasn't dreaming, was he? ”

After a while, Jiang An came back to his senses and moved his gaze to his daughter: "This remittance slip and ticket really were sent to you by the provincial newspaper?" ”

Ye Xia smiled: "Dad, I'm sure, and sure, you can accept it with confidence!" Yesterday I submitted an article to the provincial newspaper again, and after a while, there should be remittance slips and tickets sent to our home. ”
