Throughout the night, Liang Haixing's admission to university became a topic of conversation to congratulate everyone. Some recalled the interesting stories of Liang Haixing when he was a child, some found that Liang Haixing was smarter than other children since he was a child, and some congratulated Liang's father, saying that he would be happy in the future. There are also great expectations for Liang Haixing's future. Of course, it is not easy for a person to do things outside, and if he encounters any difficulties, even if he tells his family, his parents can't help, tell the brothers in the clan, and the brothers in the clan do the backstage. Some also joked to Liang Haixing, when the official becomes big in the future, you must not forget your hometown, you must not forget your ancestors, brothers and grandfathers go to find you, you don't have to deliberately make good food, you can manage a meal and drink saliva, but you must not say that you don't know each other. Liang Haixing smiled: "How can it? The deep friendship of the brothers is engraved in my heart. ”

Father Liang said with a smile: "Xing'er is not that kind of person, no matter how big the official is, he will definitely not forget his hometown and the brothers in the clan." I don't know who said: "That's not necessarily, there was Chen Shimei in ancient times." In the future, I will become an official and become a family in the city, and I can still afford to look at our dirt buns. Liang's father was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer, so he looked at Liang Haixing. Liang Haixing's eyes were hot, he left the dinner table, knelt in front of the third grandfather, suddenly sobbed, and cried: "I understand what everyone means, I will go to study soon, and in the future, I will leave the affairs of my family to the brothers of the whole clan." Here, in the face of the ancestors and ancestors, in front of the brothers of the whole clan, I Liang Haixing swore that I would study hard and continue to win glory for the clansmen, and in the future, the brothers would have a place where I Liang Haixing, as long as it was not against the principles and the laws of the country, I would do my best. The people of the clan went to the city to ask me to do errands, and the elders slept on the ground. Liang Haixing said, in front of the third grandfather, he knocked three times in a row. Seeing this scene, Liang's father's tears fell like a kite with a broken string.

For a while, the whole dinner table fell into extreme dullness, especially the people of the clan who spoke a lot, and they felt even more embarrassed. The third grandfather is still well-informed, so he hurriedly got up and got off the kang, helped Liang Haixing up, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, your uncle is just joking with you, how can you take it seriously." Xing'er is a good child who I have watched grow up since I was a child, how my own children are, we old people still don't know in our hearts. However, Xing'er rest assured, you will study hard in the future, you are a brother, and you are very filial, knowing that you are hanging at home, and the affairs of the family are all covered. The third grandfather then walked out of the inner room, looked at the people who came to congratulate the whole clan, and said loudly: "I can say it here, Xing'er is studying outside, it is not his personal business, it is to win glory for the whole clan, Xing'er's family is the matter of the clan, no matter who is called in the future, or who sees or hears it, you don't need to shout, you have to take the initiative to help." Otherwise, don't blame the people in the clan for not being affectionate, and clean up his family out of the clan, and the clan will no longer come forward in all the things of his family. The third grandfather's words were very reasonable, and he naturally received the support and response of the clansmen. The scene of the gathering of heroes in Liangshan often appears in front of Liang Haixing's eyes, especially when he encounters setbacks in his work and life, thinking back to the sustenance and high hopes of the brothers in the clan, he can only grit his teeth and swallow the tears into his stomach.

Liang Haixing categorically did not expect that the clan attached so much importance to his admission to university, which became the most important thing in the clan, and in the next time, in addition to sending money to congratulate him, each family entertained Liang Haixing with the best meal, until Liang Haixing entered the school to report.

For the first time, Liang Haixing seemed to have a deep understanding and understanding of the clan, and understood that being admitted to university is by no means a matter of one person or his own family, carrying too many dreams of his hometown, and going out to do things in the future is not simply for himself, but behind him is the hope of the one hundred and eighty brothers of the whole clan. Behind the crumpled two corners, five corners, one yuan, and two yuan are beating hearts. For the first time, Liang Haixing understood what responsibility is.

It is not only the clansmen who are proud of Liang Haixing's admission to school, for a while, the people of the whole village regard Liang Haixing as a role model, and adults are always using Liang Haixing to educate their children, hoping that their children can be like Liang Haixing and one day become the pride of the clan. People who usually don't interact with the Liang family often or even meet and never speak, may be worried that they will have to ask the Liang family or other unspeakable reasons in the future, and they are also taking the initiative to get close to Liang's father and Liang's mother. Liang's father and Liang's mother were naturally happy, and their faces were like flowers.

Sometimes, reality confuses Liang Haixing: he is still yesterday's Liang Haixing, why does people look at themselves so much, is this fate, fate can really change lives, and even shape people. If so, when did fate become so worldly? What made Liang Haixing even more puzzled was his relatives, and his vision of himself had also changed 180 degrees. The most prominent is Liang Haixing's aunt and eldest cousin. In a sense, the reason why Liang Haixing was angry and admitted to university was also the result of the encouragement of his aunt's family.

Among all Liang Haixing's relatives, the aunt's family is the most prominent: the eldest aunt works in the organization department of the county party committee, the eldest cousin is a state-run teacher in the middle school, and the second cousin and cousin are workers who eat commercial grain. And Liang Haixing's family is the least powerful among the relatives of his grandmother's family, and they are all farmers. The aunt's family has a lot of non-agriculture, and there is naturally less rural labor, especially after the reform and opening up, the family has contracted a lot of land, and the agricultural dialect such as repairing houses and building houses during the busy farming season naturally needs to find someone to help, and the soft-spoken Liang Haixing's family has naturally become the first choice. may be worried that there will be requests from the aunt's family in the future, and Liang Haixing's family will respond to the request, and even put down their farm work to help the aunt's house. Since he was a child, Liang Haixing has contributed the most to his aunt's family and suffered the most white eyes.

When it came to going to his aunt's house to help, Liang Haixing was most afraid of his aunt's perennial frosty face, and the cold light of his aunt's whole family looking at him, full of contempt. Liang Haixing was extremely reluctant to go to his aunt's house to help. Liang's mother understood Liang Haixing's mood, so she persuaded Liang Haixing: "Xing'er is obedient, don't say that you don't want to go to your aunt's house when you have a child's house, it's me, I was also stunned when I saw your aunt's eyes that never looked at people squarely, but what can we do." On this day, we may ask for someone at some point. Whether to help or not is someone's business, but we finally have a reliance in our hearts. Our family is poor, my mother can't cook you a good meal, your aunt's family is better than our family's life, go to your aunt's house to work, just improve your life during the New Year. Talk less, work more, eat more. ”

Liang Haixing has always doubted whether his aunt and mother are biological sisters, and always has prejudices against his nephew, ridiculing him for no reason, finding awkwardness without any basis, and often reprimanding in front of everyone: "Does your mother usually care about you?" Look at it, there is no sitting phase, no standing phase, like a wild child. "Eat, eat less, my aunt reprimanded: "Eat so little, can you be full?" It's not true to be a child like that. After eating too much, my aunt complained again: "Does your mother not care about your food at home?" You see, like a starving ghost. ”

After a long time, the aunt became a devil image in Liang Haixing's heart, as soon as he saw the aunt, especially the aunt's squinting gaze, Liang Haixing would have an inexplicable sense of fear in his heart, Liang Haixing told his mother about the grievances he received from his aunt, and Liang's mother could only cry and be speechless. This has become a knot that Liang Haixing's heart has never been able to erase.

is not only the aunt, but also makes Liang Haixing feel that what is under the fence is the almost contemptuous eyes of the aunt's family towards him. is different from the aunt, the aunt has something to say directly in her heart, but in the eyes of those non-agricultural cousins and sisters-in-law who go to work, Liang Haixing seems to be a stranger and a wild child who lacks discipline. Liang Haixing is not helping his aunt's family with farm work, but begging for something from their family, it is the aunt who is giving alms to this poor nephew, and when she eats, she will stay away from Liang Haixing like a plague. Many years later, Liang Haixing realized that it was those relatives with status who thought that the smell on his body was not bathing, and he was worried that the lice on Liang Haixing's head and clothes would crawl on his body.

Liang Haixing feels that he and his aunt's family are people living in two different worlds, and there has always been an irreparable estrangement. If it weren't for my aunt's disgusting attitude towards herself, maybe her life would be different. But it was what happened to him at his aunt's house that made Liang Haixing secretly determined: he must live as a person, stand in front of his aunt's family with his chest up, and let them look up to him.

Perhaps the experience when he was a child deeply hurt Liang Haixing's heart, and his parents were stricter in discipline, Liang Haixing has been studying hard, and his academic performance is among the best. Admission to a key high school in the county was originally a sure thing, and it was logical to be admitted to university. However, nine times out of ten, things in the world are unsatisfactory, the high school entrance examination is over, just when Liang Haixing was immersed in going to the county key middle school to study in high school, the admission results were unexpected, the usual academic performance is far inferior to Liang Haixing's classmates were admitted, and Liang Haixing, who has been representing the school to participate in the competition, has a top-notch academic performance, and what is even more puzzling is that a classmate who has been unsatisfactory in academic performance has also been admitted to the county key middle school. The school, as well as the head teacher, knows the mystery very well: the student with poor academic performance has a very good background, and Liang Haixing was replaced by the student with poor academic performance. As a result, the school was indignant at what happened to Liang Haixing. In fact, the school and the class teacher also have their own ideas: because Liang Haixing was admitted to a key high school, it means that Liang Haixing, who has always had a good academic performance, will be admitted to university in the future, even a famous university, and then Liang Haixing's junior high school will achieve a breakthrough in being admitted to university since the reform of the college entrance examination system. And Liang Haixing's admission to an ordinary high school may shatter the aspirations of his alma mater. The head teacher told Liang Haixing euphemistically and asked Liang Haixing's family to check the scores in the county to see if there was any hope of being admitted to a key middle school.

As soon as he heard the news that Liang Haixing was not admitted to the county key middle school, especially after hearing that the school asked him to ask someone to check the test results, Liang's father became embarrassed. Liang's father knew that Liang Haixing's uncle worked in the county party committee, and Liang Haixing's eldest cousin taught in the county No. 1 high school. What makes Liang's father embarrassed is that his wife's sister's family has always looked down on him, and his brother-in-law and nephew will definitely not help him, how can he open his mouth to Hades? Liang's mother understands Liang's father's feelings, and she doesn't want to see her brother-in-law and nephew, but for the sake of her son, everything seems insignificant in front of mother's love. Liang's mother said to Liang's father: "I'll try, usually once they have something, like calling animals, they bring a letter, we will go to his house to help this and that." Now that there is a problem, I don't believe that their family will watch it. Besides, let their family help their children check their test results, and it's not an unsightly thing, just do it, even if you don't do it, even if you pull it down, we won't leave this relative in the future. ”

Liang's mother went to Liang Haixing's aunt's house, and just finished talking about the matter, but before the eldest uncle could express his position, the aunt ridiculed Liang's mother: "My child can't take the test, blame this and that, if you have the ability to take the test, what's the matter?!" Liang Haixing's uncle was more considerate of Liang's mother and promised to find someone to help check the exam results.

Liang Haixing's uncle quickly told Liang's mother about the results, and Liang Haixing's exam results were indeed good, far exceeding the admission score line, and he was indeed replaced. The person who replaced Liang Haixing in a key high school was the student who was very poor in learning. His family's background is indeed powerful, and his father is a commune secretary. The eldest uncle also told Liangmu County that the enrollment work of the key middle school in Liangmu County had ended, and it was basically impossible to make up for it. Liang's mother heard her brother-in-law's voice-over and understood her brother-in-law's mood, so she didn't embarrass her brother-in-law anymore, and shouted tears to Liang Haixing: "Xing'er, let's not complain about others, if you want to complain, you can complain about your father and your mother, who let you be born in our poor family with no power and power?" Don't look at the fact that we usually help others a lot, but when it comes to a critical time, people still look down on us, and the future road is all up to you. ”

Liang's father didn't know much about education, so he comforted Liang Haixing and said: "As long as you have school, you can learn the same knowledge everywhere." As long as we work hard, we can be admitted to university anywhere. ”

Liang Haixing knew very well in his heart that his parents had tried their best to go to his aunt's house for being able to go to a key university in the county, so he didn't want to embarrass his father anymore, so he had to accept and face the cruel reality. However, Saiong lost his horse, and his eldest cousin, who used to teach in the county key middle school, was transferred to Liang Haixing's ordinary middle school as the principal and teacher in order to take care of his aunt in his hometown. With the relationship between the eldest cousin, Liang's mother seemed to see hope, and was very happy after hearing it, and said to Liang Haixing: "That's fine, no matter what, your eldest cousin is your mother's nephew, and with your eldest cousin under him, maybe it's better than studying in the county key middle school." Liang Haixing does not seem to agree with his mother's views. Liang's mother comforted Liang Haixing again: "Child, you just have to study hard, if there is anything in school, you are embarrassed to find your cousin, you tell your mother, I will go to find your eldest cousin." No matter what their family thinks of us, anyway, I am his aunt, and no matter how good he is, I don't believe that he will not recognize me as an aunt. ”

Liang Haixing's concerns soon became a reality, the eldest cousin didn't recognize Liang Haixing's cousin at all, and he didn't give special attention, and the cousin always regarded Liang Haixing as a passerby.

Liang Haixing's family is very poor, when he was in high school, Liang Haixing always brought Liang's mother's sweet potatoes and corn nests from home, and Liang's mother's own sauce, there were absolutely no steamed buns, and even radish pickles could not afford to eat. Sometimes, on weekends, when the sauce is less, Liang Haixing pours some hot water to make it up. My cousin and Liang Haixing eat in the same cafeteria, and as a non-agricultural worker, my cousin serves white flour and corn every month, and there is some meat in each meal. But Liang Haixing didn't eat a steamed bun given by his cousin, and he didn't drink a bowl of vegetable soup given by his cousin.

During the three years of high school study, Liang Haixing walked ten miles back and forth between school and family every weekend. On the way, Liang Haixing carried dry food on his back and looked down at the book. Due to his diligent study and talent, Liang Haixing's natural academic performance has always ranked first in the department. Liang Haixing naturally became a celebrity in that ordinary middle school, but his cousin never mentioned his special relationship with Liang Haixing. Of course, Liang Haixing has never called his cousin, even if he meets, he only calls the teacher, and even at home, he never mentions his cousin. Liang's father and Liang's mother understood Liang Haixing's thoughts, and the eldest cousin naturally became a taboo for the whole family.

In the Liang family, even later, when it came to the high school experience, Liang Haixing rarely mentioned his cousin, but he felt that if he didn't have the special experience of the high school entrance examination, he would not have such a thorough understanding of society and life, and it would not be possible to have today, which is a lifelong inspiration.

Now the situation is different, Liang Haixing was finally admitted to the university, and green smoke finally rose from the grave of his ancestors. This indicates that in the future, Liang Haixing will not only become a non-agricultural household registration, but can be on an equal footing with his aunt's family, and more importantly, he will become a national cadre in the future.

I don't know if it was out of sincere wishes of family affection, or longer-term considerations, the aunt's family wanted to invite Liang Haixing to dinner, but the Liang family had already arranged it and politely refused the aunt's kindness. When the aunt saw that Liang Haixing didn't give face, she immediately had a layer of frost on her face, and immediately pulled her face down, and said, "Isn't it just to be admitted to a school?" What's the big deal, if you really become an official in the future, you have to cut off relations with me. Don't pull it down, save it. But my cousin didn't see it that way, and said to his mother: "Starfish is different now, and when we graduate in the future, maybe we will come to the county to sit in office, and when the time comes, it will be too late for us to ask for help." Although Liang Haixing's aunt is a rural woman and has no education, her eldest cousin's words definitely carry weight, so she asked her cousin to invite Liang Haixing again. Although Liang Haixing was still extremely reluctant to go to his aunt's house as a guest, Liang's mother agreed, and changed into a clean dress for Liang Haixing, and went to the aunt's house with the cousin who came to invite.

The aunt's family attaches great importance to Liang Haixing's arrival, and it is the first time in Liang Haixing's impression, so it will be unforgettable for a lifetime. Not only did all the cousins, sisters-in-law and cousins participate, but they even invited the village party secretary to accompany the wine, and naturally Liang Haixing sat at the main table. Liang Haixing ate fish for the first time, salted fish and carp; The first time I ate that meat, so many scrambled eggs; The first time I drank bottled liquor, it was not spicy at all, like oil, swallowed it, and the stomach was warm; The first time I drank the tea brought by Hanging City, it was so fragrant. Cousin, all the faces of those who came to congratulate were different from the usual cold eyes, and they were all painted with a pleasant face, especially the aunt, who seemed to be full of smiles that were about to overflow.

Liang Haixing saw that his aunt had not been busy, but he was sitting at the main table, and he was a little unhappy, so he invited his aunt to the table, but the aunt smiled and said: "Your aunt is uneducated, you can't speak, and you can't drink, you can eat together, I am responsible for cooking for you." ”

When she got home, Liang's mother was very concerned, so she asked Liang Haixing about being a guest at her aunt's house. Liang Haixing gave a comprehensive account of the scene of being a guest at his aunt's house to Liang's mother and Liang's father, Liang's mother was naturally happy and couldn't stop nodding, Liang's father just smiled and said: "Xing'er is really competitive." When I heard that there were so many delicious foods on the table, my three sisters drooled.
