Chapter 179: Reading
"Don't hide, come out." When he had arrived at the He family's courtyard and felt the man's following, He Manman finally couldn't help but say.
"How do you know it's me?" I saw a half-old child come out of the corner and ask suspiciously.
And this child is none other than Lin Da's son.
"I didn't know it was you, but my ears heard footsteps." He Manman pointed to his ears and said with a smile.
When the bolt heard this, a trace of remorse flashed in his eyes.
"Is there something wrong with you following me?" Because it was a child, He Manman's voice was a little softer.
"I want to ask you, how do you know so many things?"
"What's that?" He Manman looked puzzled.
"It's about Chen Cripple pretending to be dead, and why can't you pretend to be dead when you knock Chen Lame on the knee?" When the plug heard this, his eyes were full of curiosity.
"Because the normal human body has a physiological reflex called the knee jerk reflex. As long as the knee is half-flexed and the calf is free to sag, a rapid percussion of the ligaments under the knee causes the quadriceps muscle to contract, and the calf jerk reflex is generated. He Manman saw the plug's eyes full of curiosity, and then smiled and briefly told him about the experiment of the knee jerk reflex.
Hearing this, the bolt nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "It's really interesting." ”
Seeing the curious look of the bolt, He Manman smiled and said, "If you are interested, I have a book about this there, you can borrow it." ”
When the bolt heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly, and then he didn't know what he thought, but his eyes suddenly dimmed again.
"Forget it, my mother said, it's useless to study." The plug shook his head slightly, his face a little gloomy.
"Aren't you going to school anymore?" When He Manman heard this, he was slightly stunned, and when he saw the appearance of the bolt, he couldn't help but have a bad guess in his heart.
"Hmm." The plug nodded a little embarrassedly, then pursed his lips into a straight line.
"My mother said that reading was useless, so after the Chinese New Year, I didn't go to school." The plug said again.
When He Manman heard this, a trace of anger flashed on her face, she could see that the bolt was a child with a thirst for knowledge, but Aunt Lin actually misled the bolt with the words that reading is useless.
"Why is it useless to read? There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book, so it can be said that many things you want can be obtained by reading. He Manman pursed his lips and said.
"But my mom said that reading is a waste of time and money! She said that she would have to work when she didn't study anyway, so it was better to come back to work now, not only to save a little more money to marry a daughter-in-law, but also to save money on tuition. When he heard He Manman say this, he said with a somewhat tangled face.
"And what do you think?" He Manman raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I, I don't know." Bolt said, his face full of confusion.
"Do you like to read?" He Manman couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw the confused appearance of the bolt, this Aunt Lin was really a sin, such a young child actually didn't let him study in school, but let him come back to work.
"I, I like it, but my mother ......," the plug said, his face full of confusion.
He has liked to read since he was a child, and he reads well, but Aunt Lin always whispers in his ear, how hard the family is, how useless it is to read, and if he reads, he wastes money, and finally he has to go home to pick up dung.
Over time, as soon as he reads, he will feel ashamed of Aunt Lin, so after entering the first year of junior high school this year, he finally chose to drop out of school.
"Don't care what your mom says! Read as long as you want! He Manman interrupted the bolt's words.
"But we don't have any money at home." The plug pursed his lips and said.
"This year, the state has announced the method of nine-year compulsory education, as long as you study, until junior high school, you don't have to pay tuition, and," He Manman paused and said: "And as long as you work hard enough and are good enough, you can also get money from the school." ”
"Can you still get money?" The bolt had never heard of this, so he looked at He Manman with some surprise.
"Of course, when I was in high school, I got a scholarship to middle school." He Manman said, then looked at the bolt and said with a smile: "As long as you want, you can too." ”
"I, can I?" Hearing this, the bolt looked at He Manman with some confusion.
After a moment, he shook his head again, "I still can't go to school, and my mother still wants me to work?" And if you read a book, you don't need to work? ”
"Nature is needed." He Manman said, looked at the bolt fixedly, and said: "But if you read the book, your future will be full of possibilities, and there will be many jobs to choose from." ”
"Are you going to be a worker?" Bolt asked, then frowned, "To be honest, I'm not very interested. ”
"Not only a worker, depending on what you are interested in, you can become a teacher, a lawyer, a businessman, and do the work that you like and are interested in, instead of being stuck in this small mountain village for the rest of your life and repeating the same thing day after day."
"Do something you're interested in? If I had read the book, would I have been able to build airplane cannons? Hearing this, the black eyes were full of light.
"Naturally, if you work hard, you will definitely be able to." He Manman smiled and said.
"Then I want to study, I want to build aircraft cannons, so I don't want to pick up!" The bolt said this, and the smiling face shone brightly, which was probably what the dream looked like in the first place.
Looking at the bolt like this, He Manman couldn't help but smile, probably influenced by those old professors, looking at the teenager with dreams, she would also feel gratified for the future of the motherland.
"Thank you, Sister Manman." The bolt carefully took the book in He Manman's hand and held it in his arms.
"No thanks, just remember to study hard in the future!" He Manman smiled and touched the head of the bolt.
"Uh-huh." Hearing this, the bolt nodded heavily, and then trotted towards the house with the book in his arms.
And when the bolt was gone, only a somewhat hoarse voice was heard.
"If you do this, aren't you afraid that Aunt Lin will come to you for trouble?"
When He Manman heard this, he raised his eyes and saw a young man wearing a white shirt and black leather shoes, who was not tall but had a bit of Sven, slowly walked out from the other wall.
He Manman frowned, took a closer look, and found that she didn't know this man, so he turned around and was about to enter the house.
