Chapter 20: He chose to escape
Sun Xiaoni was in no danger, and two days after she came back, she was alive and sound.
Sun Chaohua's nervous heart calmed down, and he began to review his homework again, he didn't have to worry about mathematics, physics and chemistry, but politics made him worry, he didn't like to memorize it very much, but his classmates all took the review materials, wow, wow, rote memorization, trying to add points in the final sprint, but he felt difficult.
I often forget the back and the front, I feel that I don't sleep well, I often have nightmares at night, I dream: Wang Huanyi cried and said that he was a negative man, he was very angry, and angrily refuted her practice of beating a rake, and said in a straight way that it was she who challenged her bottom line, it was he who didn't miss the old love and found a new friend first, and when she saw that he was ruthless, she angrily tore up his information-
"You tore up my materials, what should I review," he asked, "you don't let me feel at ease, I don't let you have a good time, it's a big deal that we can't pass the exam!" ”
"Get up, why did you sleep so hard today," his parents' cries interrupted his nightmare, and when he woke up, it turned out to be a false alarm, rubbing his eyes, and the sun was already shining on the window, and he could see the shadow on his curtains.
"Are you going late today, are you in the way?" Zhang asked with concern, "Don't get in the way, the teacher let me review freely these days." He responded to his mother's concerns.
When he arrived in the classroom, his eyes met Wang Huanyi unexpectedly, and when he found that she was looking at him indifferently, he lowered his head and returned to his seat.
Some say that dreams are a precursor to the end, while others say that dreams are the opposite. Although Sun Chaohua didn't believe it, the results of the exam disappointed him.
A month after the big exam, the results went down, and the teacher was optimistic about him, but he was not on the list, and Wang Huanyi was also named Sun Shan, and he had no chance with the junior high school.
Sun Chaohua and Wang Huanyi were admitted to different key high schools in the county, and Jia Ruiling, Cui Damin, and Wei Mihua were admitted to the same ordinary high school.
Sun Chaohua felt that he had no face to meet his classmates and teachers, and refused to meet Wang Huanyi again, so he asked his mother to intercede with his uncle, who was the captain of his uncle's family, and went to work in the city, saying that he wanted to earn high school living expenses for himself.
Sun Laowan and his wife knew that their son was uncomfortable because he was admitted to junior high school, so he said to his son, "Okay, you haven't been in the city when you're so old, so you should go for a break!" ”
The production team of the uncle's family was engaged in the construction engineering enlightenment at the earliest, and was famous in the Fengxi People's Commune, and began to engage in the foundation treatment of buildings, and later with the accumulation of experience, the comprehensive quality of personnel improved, and began to engage in the construction of some low-rise buildings.
Uncle Zhang Huaming entrusted him to a female intellectual, who was in the queue at that time, and asked her to take him to the construction site.
Sun Chaohua left home for the first time, took the train for the first time, and entered Xi'an City for the first time, as curious as Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.
The female intellectual, about thirty, was short, with a big face, big eyes, plain clothes, and a pair of tight jeans, which seemed particularly incongruous with her thick and short thighs, and the only thing that interested Sun Chaohua was that she brought a lot of review materials.
She and another companion were in the car, chatting all over the world, Sun Chaohua was not interested, just kept floating the books she carried.
"Sister, are you also preparing for the exam?" Sun Chaohua asked cautiously.
The educated youth glanced at Sun Chaohua and said, "I haven't seen you speak all the way, so I thought you were shy?" After speaking, seeing Sun Chaohua constantly looking at those books, he said, "I cut the queue here, and I have a good relationship with your uncle's family, he told me that you love to read and study, and when you get there, if you want to read books when you have time, come to me to find something suitable for you." ”
"Thank you, sister," Sun Chaohua replied politely.
When he arrived at the construction site, he was arranged into a large room, separated by a triple plank, with a man on one side and a woman on the other, each with a door to enter and exit.
Sun Chaohua saw that the older men called uncle, and the women called aunts, and the same age as his brother and sister.
At the door of his uncle's house, Sun Chaohua worked very hard, he (she) took good care of him, and after a week, they got acquainted.
During the day, Sun Chaohua mainly did some transportation work, such as pulling white ash, sand, bricks, etc., and was arranged to be accompanied by another young man from the city of the same age.
When he first entered the city, Sun Chaohua was curious about everything, including the phone in the workplace, the bathroom in the room, the brightly lit night scene, and so on.
From the companion with whom he worked, he learned about some of the new things he had heard for the first time, such as cinemas, trams, traffic lights, etc., which were very ordinary things that were new and interesting to him.
Knowing that he was lonely and unheard, he behaved very humblely, Yiping saw this, comforted him and said, "Don't feel embarrassed, I just came here and was the same as you, I don't feel strange after a long time." ”
Yiping is the same age as him, working in the kitchen, and is the only girl his age, after work, she becomes a communication partner who can pass the time with him and can find similar words.
She had a cheerful personality, and when she began to see Sun Chaohua's restrained appearance, she said, "Don't be taboo and rusty, when it comes to it, your uncle and I still don't have five sisters, so we should call me sister." ”
Sun Chaohua had no choice but to say, "Since it's my sister, I'll have to take care of it in the future,"
"No problem, I've been here for two years, if you don't understand anything, feel free to say hello."
"Well," Sun Chaohua agreed, while thinking, "Why didn't she go to school, she dropped out of school at the age of 15." ”
Yiping understood his thoughts, and explained to her, "I don't study well, I won't go to the first year of junior high school, I have been working on the construction site for two years, I want to play for two more years, and if I have done enough, I will go home to get married, and live with peace of mind," After speaking, depending on what he remembered, he said, "But I heard that you are not good at studying, although you have not been admitted to the secondary school, but you love to learn, there must be hope, now feel the hard work of the construction site, experience the superiority of the city, you will know what you want in the future." Although Yiping doesn't like to study, she thinks about problems quite uniquely, and Sun Chaohua began to be in awe of her.
Slowly they got acquainted, she offered to wash his clothes, he also offered to help him fetch water, and used firewood in the kitchen.
Yiping sometimes took him to the cinema, at first he was embarrassed, feeling that it was a loss of face to let her pay out of pocket, Yiping seemed to see his thoughts, so he said, "If you really don't want to go, two days will be enough for a month, you can go to the leader to advance 20 yuan as pocket money, if you want to invite, just mean it, so it doesn't hurt your self-esteem?" ”
Sun Chaohua felt that he was okay with this, and gladly accepted her suggestion.
In this bustling city that is lively during the day and brightly lit at night, Sun Chaohua experiences hard work, looks at the endless flow of people, feels the corresponding rhythm of traffic lights, and reveries about his future life.
Gradually, he learned a truth, people can fail, but they can't avoid failure, and fate will not have mercy on those poor people who hide when they encounter failure.
