Chapter 16: Ma Dongxi

Zhang Bushou asked, "What are we going to do next?" ”

Yi Yang said: "Didn't you say it, study and go." As he spoke, he waved the bag of study materials in his hand.

These learning materials are all workbooks for the first year of junior high school, the kind with analysis. In addition, there is a small manual of "Formulas for All Subjects in Junior High School" and a small manual of 3500 words in English for the college entrance examination.

Zhang Bushou's expression was complicated, and he was still a little difficult to accept: "You ...... Is it real? ”

Yi Yang sighed, "Why don't you always want to believe me, I really want to study hard." ”

"Okay. So where to study? ”

Yi Yang said, "Let's go to your house." ”

"Huh? My family? Zhang Bushou showed an embarrassed expression: "My family ......"

Yi Yang asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm kind of scared of my dad."

"Your dad is going to eat people?"

"He can't eat people, but he'll beat me at every turn."

Yi Yang patted Zhang Bushou on the shoulder: "Your father is not a madman, he won't beat you for no reason, we are here to study, not to make trouble, he has no reason to beat you." ”

Zhang Bushou struggled for a moment, "Okay." ”

Yi Yang and Zhang Bushou's junior high school is the only junior high school in the county.

In small counties, at least more than half of the students come from the surrounding towns or villages, and they have no motivation to learn. There will be a lot of students in each class who don't study, and these students are in a state where they don't learn and the teacher doesn't care. In the future, at least most of them will go to a secondary vocational school, learn a trade, and then enter the society.

And the other half, who didn't even study in secondary vocational schools, hurriedly entered society.

Like, Yi Yang.

Fourteen years later, Yi Yang has come into contact with some white-collar workers who come to repair cars, most of them come from big cities, graduated from a certain undergraduate university, although they have a high degree of education, pay attention to national affairs at any time, understand finance, understand international current affairs, but they can almost be called ignorant of the current situation in China, they are always very anxious, it is unbelievable that at least more than ninety percent of people in China do not have a bachelor's degree.

Because of survivor bias, they can't see those silent majority.

Zhang Bushou doesn't know what he wants to do in the future, but he has already foreseen his future life, and there is a high probability that he will study in a certain technical school and then become a part of this bizarre society.

That's why he felt so incredible about what Yi Yang suddenly wanted to learn.

Zhang Bushou never wanted to study hard, but after Yi Yang said his goal so loudly, he had some expectations, and this expectation was also related to himself.

It's just that he doesn't know exactly what to expect.

The shortcut to Zhang Bushou's house is through a back road with few vehicles.

The road doesn't pass through the main city, so it's always a few trucks carrying goods rushing through to get to the next place from this road.

Zhang Bushou and Yi Yang walked on the road together.

Yi Yang looked at the white line on the road, stepping on the center of the white line with every step, and if there was a foot empty, he would be very dissatisfied.

"Then, Wang Lin beat him up."

Zhang Bushou was telling Yi Yang some gossip in school. Most of the content is about who was with whom, who beat whom, and how many people were called.

At that time they had a textbook called youth. The physical and psychological changes of boys and girls are described in detail, and the impact of the content on children at this age is huge.

But most of the teachers in the small places are too traditional, and Yi Yang suspects that they all came from the feudal society. The knowledge in the "Youth" textbook was tacitly not talked about by the teachers.

Therefore, Yi Yang feels that the most failed part of small local education is that in the most important period of life, those knowledge that is most important to life, they have to rely on the discs of the island country to teach themselves.

After thinking about it, Yi Yang suddenly laughed, "These things you talked about are too boring, let me tell you something interesting." ”

"What?"

"Do you know what it's like down there for girls?"

A picture appeared in Zhang Bushou's mind, it was Zhang Xuefen, who he liked, standing next to the stove, boiling water, and sprinkling a handful of noodles. He shook his head, shook the image out of his mind, and asked, "What's the point of that?" ”

Yi Yang was stunned, "This is still interesting?" Have you seen it? ”

"I haven't seen it, but I can imagine it."

Yi Yang was silent for a while, "You have a lot of imagination. ”

So, Yi Yang wanted to give Zhang Bushou some knowledge about adolescence, but it was boring.

At this moment, a big guy suddenly appeared in the field of vision of the two of them.

It's a big, big locomotive.

Yi Yang's eyes lit up instantly, he had also repaired this kind of car.

However, seeing the owner of the locomotive, Yi Yang was slightly stunned, this person seemed to have seen it somewhere.

It was an uncle, burly, with a big bald head, and a horizontal face, and the most conspicuous thing was that he had a very thick gold chain around his neck.

Suddenly, Yi Yang remembered that it was the uncle who took the same shuttle bus when he went to the countryside that day. At that time, he scolded the driver to let him try to repair it.

I didn't carefully observe the appearance of this uncle before, but at this time, Yi Yang looked at him twice, and suddenly thought of a person in his mind, who was the protagonist of a Korean movie he watched many years later, and he forgot what his name was, but the movie was very exciting.

This uncle is very much like that uncle, both in terms of body type and appearance and temperament.

The uncle also saw Yi Yang, and suddenly his expression lit up: "Hey, it's you?" ”

Zhang Bushou shrank back and said, "This person doesn't look easy to mess with." ”

Yi Yang was stunned: "Huh? What's to mess with? ”

Zhang Bushou whispered in Yi Yang's ear: "Don't you think this person has three words written on his face that are not good to mess with?" ”

Yi Yang smiled dumbly, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Uncle was tinkering with his motorcycle at this time. It's an advanced model of the spring breeze, and it looks very cool.

The uncle smiled: "Little brother, I didn't talk to you last time, but I didn't expect to meet you again." ”

Yi Yang smiled, glanced at the motorcycle a few times, and noticed the disassembled shell, and the tools were scattered all over the ground. He asked, "Is there a problem with this motorcycle?" ”

The uncle sighed: "There is a little problem, I'll take it apart and check it again." If you don't say this, what's your name? ”

Yi Yang said: "My name is Yi Yang, a junior high school student. ”

Uncle nodded, "My name is Ma Dongxi, you don't dislike it, just call me Brother Ma." ”

Yi Yang thought about it, squatted down to look at the motorcycle, and said, "Uncle, what's wrong with your car, tell me about it, maybe I can fix it." ”

Zhang Bushou's eyes widened and he looked at Yi Yang strangely.

When Ma Dongxi heard Yi Yang call him uncle, he smiled helplessly, and then heard him say that he could repair it, so he remembered that he had repaired the shuttle bus skillfully, hesitated, and said: "It's not a big problem, but it's a little annoying." It's like this......"
