Xiao Weidong had to accept the reality of his son's growth, which made him secretly happy at the same time, but also began to sigh for a long time: the matter of building a house had to be put on the most urgent agenda, and the Xiao family now has five people crowded on the big kang, because he had to save money to plan the eldest son's separation, the homestead is not far from the current home, he once sent two bottles of wine to Sun Blind and asked him to point out the feng shui of the homestead and the date of construction, the old man with glasses as thick as the bottom of the bottle said in a matter: "The sooner the better, If you get a new house this year, maybe you will be able to be a grandfather the year after. ”

Everyone in the village knows that Sun Blind likes to talk nonsense, but sometimes he can say things on time, so everyone listens to his words carefully, Xiao Weidong was not in a hurry to build a house, but some time ago, his son went on a blind date with the Yang family, and they were very satisfied with each other, and Yang Cripple even asked Shaohe's wife to give a letter, saying that the bride price money does not need too much, but there must be a house, Xiao Weidong had to think about the house.

The change of his son is seen in the eyes of this father, Xiao Daqian rarely teases his sister and younger brother, in turn, he will consciously clean the yard, and take the initiative to go to the field after school to help the adults, especially at night no longer go out to run blindly, but consciously read books and do homework, which also makes Xiao Weidong understand that this kid has begun to think. He was actually engaged to his son when he was so old and then married two years later, many times in this life is a cycle of reincarnation, I hope he is not the same as he was at the beginning, Kang Yunmei's sister Kang Yunying violently contracted a vicious disease is Xiao Weidong's lifelong pain, according to the rules of the countryside Kang Yunying could not enter the ancestral grave of the Xiao family early, so he found a place to bury it temporarily, and he could not return to his position until Xiao Weidong died. Sometimes when it is difficult to decide, Xiao Weidong will secretly go to his ex-wife's grave to smoke a cigarette and chatter, these days in order to raise money to build a house, he came to the saline-alkali land in the east of the village, Kang Yunying is buried here, an awl-shaped mound, which is already full of yellow, pink and white wildflowers, Xiao Weidong sighed and sat down to smoke: "Xiaoying, the eldest son is looking for a daughter-in-law, but our family is poor, and you were treated at the beginning and caused famine, I still have more than 700 left in the account in the past two years, and it is enough to build an adobe house, But the village is full of brick houses, we have to be stingy and afraid of people's jokes, and I don't want Da'er to block his heart, he and Xiaomei have not dealt with each other, I am afraid that he will think too much! ”

Xiao Weidong does not have too high expectations for his son, Xiao Daqian is very similar to him in terms of appearance and personality, so the life trajectory should be much different, the son of a farmer has no idea of inheriting his father's business, Xiao Daqian does not care if he does not study well, but some people often laugh at Xiao Daqian's poor study because of his stupid brain, Xiao Weidong will be angry, of course, there are too many people in the countryside who deliberately provoke others, so every time he goes to school to take the exam, he will deliberately avoid it, and go to the nearby market to sell some food or something to dodge.

In the recent midterm exam, Xiao Weidong knew that Li Yilang and his father Li Baoyi liked to spread this kind of shit the most, and this bastard had a cigarette in his pocket and dispersed when he saw people: "The babies are very difficult in this exam, Ichiro said that he can't do several questions, did your baby say anything?" ”

Xiao Weidong doesn't like to talk to him about these topics, and always uses excuses to avoid them, this time he came back from his ex-wife's grave and met Li Baoyi again, and quickly stopped, trying to find an alley to go in another direction, but Li Baoyi was a little stunned when he saw him, coughed and said loudly: "Old Xiao, you did very well in this exam!" ”

Xiao Weidong expected that he would be so showy, and several times he first said that Xiao Daqian had made progress, and he was not in the bottom ten in the class, and then said that his son did not do well in the exam: "Obviously, he was able to enter the top five, but the result was too sloppy, and he took the seventh exam." If you need a dozen more points to get into the top 10 of your grade, that's a scholarship. This time is no exception, he smiled: "What can I do with that stupid child?" I've been learning to ride a bike these days, but I haven't studied at all, so I guess I'm going to sit on the red chair again! "Sitting on the red chair is a common name in the countryside, which means the last name.

Li Baoyi's expression was a little strange, and he muttered: "Da Qian is also smart now, he knows how to copy secretly, I heard Ichiro say that the teacher didn't believe that he got the test results this time." This baby has a good brain, Ichiro can't do it, stupid learning! ”

Xiao Weidong didn't understand what he meant at first, he just smiled, and then on the way home, he thought: Did the eldest son do well in the exam this time?

Yes, indeed! At lunch, Xiao Daqian said that he had taken the ninth place in the class in this midterm exam, one place higher than Li Yilang, and all the people in the class were surprised and inexplicable, and the head teacher, Mr. Wang, praised him without hesitation when he held the class meeting, saying that he had made great progress, and if he worked hard until the final exam, he might be able to get a scholarship! The last fifteen yuan thing stimulated Xiao Daqian a lot, he has been thinking about the way to make a fortune recently, and Mr. Wang's words made him look forward to it, there is a 100 yuan bonus for the first grade, so if you have this money, you can buy a lot of things for Yang Erni, I heard that there are review students after the third year of junior high school, and the top five in the grade are basically captured by them, after all, they have studied for a year or even three or five years longer than ordinary children, but they are all fresh graduates before the second year of junior high school, and the difficulty is much smaller, so Xiao Daqian began to look forward to his future.

There is no scholarship for this midterm exam, but the biggest benefit is that it gives the teenager enough confidence, in the past, Xiao Daqian had an attitude of "discussing the pile" towards learning, he couldn't understand the textbook, and he couldn't understand the textbook, but when he really began to concentrate on this time, he found that it was just like this, just like the English that used to be regarded as a book in the sky, he didn't even know how many letters there were, but now after copying it carefully, this time the English test actually scored eighty-nine points, only less than Jin Yunfei with a full score, the second place in the class, Xiao Daqian was full of confidence.

Gouzi Town Middle School has the habit of putting up lists, in the past, Xiao Daqian never looked at the list, and even he deliberately walked around the wall where the list was pasted, but now he is happy to look at the rankings, of course, he doesn't just look at himself, he also wants to see Yang Erni's test results, he secretly thinks that Yang Erni will definitely come to see, his results prove that he didn't brag about the front-end time, and the little man's vanity began to burst.

Yang Erni's grades are not good, she ranks seventeenth in the grade, more than 80 points worse than the first place, the probability of this score being admitted to the primary secondary school is zero, and the probability of being admitted to Boping No. 1 Middle School is not more than ten percent, Xiao Daqian is a little worried about Yang Erni, he knows that girl's mind, the reason why she repeats is nothing more than to win a glimmer of life, but this kind of achievement is not helpful for the future.

That's fine! Xiao Daqian comforted himself: In this way, Yang Erni will not go away and fly high, if she really wants to be admitted to a primary secondary school or go to a high school in the county, maybe this family affair will eventually come to naught. But then he hated his selfishness: it is said in the novel that great love is to make the other person better! Yang Erni should be happy if he did well in the exam!

Yang Erni was really hit hard, originally the school said that the third year of junior high school could not organize midterm exams, and later changed her mind, she also held the idea of training and others to try it, but she didn't want to hit the menstrual period, she was already dizzy, and the exam performance was very average, and she cried all night after knowing the results. But none of this is important, the most important thing is the pre-selection of the primary secondary school that will start soon!
