In the first class of the first day, everyone came early, all with enthusiasm and excitement, as well as yearning and anticipation for the future.

When Yuzhi arrived, the people had basically arrived, sitting neatly in the classroom, and they were all together to communicate, no matter where they came from, they were all people with the same dreams at the moment.

There was no place in front of him, and Elm Branch walked slowly to the back.

's outstanding appearance and temperament once again attracted a lot of attention.

She didn't care about it either, and felt every scene and thing in the university with all her heart, and everything made her feel stirred in her heart.

Meng Wenjun didn't come today, her face was still swollen, and she didn't have the face.

The little dog-legged Wang Cuicui came, and when he saw the elm branch, his eyes were like looking at the enemy who killed his father, which was particularly fierce.

Yuzhi was so focused on feeling college life that he didn't notice it at all.

I picked a middle point, and I could see the position of the podium and sit down, and there happened to be no one here.

Sitting next to her was a round-faced girl, who should not have a good family background, and her clothes were full of patches, but they were cleanly washed.

Because of the cold wind, the cheeks were blown red, peeled, cracked, and finally turned up layers of black shells.

His hands were covered with chilblains and black and red blood scabs.

There are cracked cuts on the palms and fingertips, revealing the bright red tender flesh inside.

At the slightest movement, pus and blood flowed out, and it hurt to look at it.

But the girl didn't care about inferiority because of this, but was very calm, and put it outside generously, and when she was seen, she would see it.

When he saw that Yuzhi was going to sit next to him, he immediately raised a smile.

"Hello classmate, my name is Xia Xiaoyue, are you sitting? There is no one here. ”

Stretch out her hand and don't hit the smiling person, this girl has very clear eyes, neither humble nor arrogant, no scheming, not to mention that Yuzhi is not a lonely and cold character.

Seeing this, he also smiled back: "Hello, my name is Yuzhi, I'll sit here." ”

"Elm Branch, that's good, quick, sit down, I've wiped all the stools, it's clean."

"Thank you."

Yuzhi was not polite and sat down.

Xia Xiaoyue was very familiar, and talked to Yuzhi with a smile: "Yuzhi, where are you?" I am from Suibei Province, and our land is cold, colder than the imperial capital. ”

"Jinji Province, we are slightly better there than here."

"Jinji Province? I've only read it in books, and if I hadn't been admitted to university, I wouldn't even be able to get out of our Shangada. It was not convenient for us to go to the imperial capital at all, and when we came out of the mountains, we had to walk for two days, and then we went to the commune, the county seat, and then to the provincial capital to take the train, and the train had to take four days, and we could suffer on the way. ”

Yuzhi also felt a little smacked when he heard it, he thought that the Gubai Brigade was biased enough, but he didn't expect that there would be more deviations.

"You guys don't read much, do they?" Just like their Jinji Province, the location is much better than Xia Xiaoyue's hometown, because of poverty, remoteness and backwardness, there are not many children studying, let alone such a remote place.

Xia Xiaoyue smiled and nodded again and again: "That's not it, it's just me, I can come to the imperial capital to study, but what about the travel expenses that our entire commune made together." I am the pride and hope of our commune. ”

Xia Xiaoyue seemed to have opened the conversation, and said in a small voice: "We are poor in the mountains, backward and ignorant, except for going around the pot in the field every day, we don't know anything. ”

"Most people, from birth to death, don't even get out of the mountain nest. The place that children look forward to the most is what adults often call the commune, and in the children's cognition, the commune is the most prosperous and wealthy place. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that we had a group of educated youths that year, I would have been like everyone else, and I would never have left the mountain until I died, and the commune would have become the place I look forward to the most."

"Every day, I work hard for a stomach that I can't fill, get up early and stay late, and live a life that I can't see at a glance."

It sounded very sad, but Xia Xiaoyue said it with a happy face, there was no sourness and disgust in her eyes, and she didn't feel sad and inferior, she really didn't care.

In her opinion, the ignorance, poverty, and hardship in the past are all the wealth she has obtained now, so she cherishes and is grateful.

"When the educated youth came, I was fourteen years old, and my family began to tell me about my in-laws, but I saw those educated youths, who could read and hyphenation, arithmetic, and read, and knew a lot of things I had never heard of, and they were bathed in the breath of books."

"I saw a different life from them, and for the first time, I knew that people can still live like that. I was very envious, and at that time, I made up my mind to become like them, to live a different life from the mountain nest, and to live a different life. ”

So, I begged my mom and dad to let me go to school. But I don't have anything to eat at home, how can I have money for my education, I have to help the family work to earn work, and it is impossible to study. ”

"I don't want to give up, I pleaded several times, promised that I wouldn't delay my work, I wouldn't earn less work, and besides, I only need a year, and if I can't keep up with my peers in a year, I won't mention going to school again."

"My father and mother actually hurt me, seeing that I was so stubborn, I gritted my teeth and agreed. That year, I stayed at school except for holidays, and studied day and night with the help of teachers and classmates. ”

"When I go home from holidays, I work hard and try to earn back all the work I owe. My older brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters all helped me, and my parents tried to let me work less and spend more time reading, and the whole family supported me. ”

Yuzhi knew that he grew up in such a loving family, so he had such a cheerful personality and pure mentality.

Xia Xiaoyue continued: "That year was really hard, but it was very fulfilling, and the rewards were also very gratifying, I not only kept up with the progress, but also took the first exam. ”

"In one year, I caught up with the progress of others in a few years, and the teacher was shocked and very happy, and personally came to my home, persuaded my father and mother to let me continue to study, and said that he was willing to subsidize my tuition."

"Actually, our teachers are not wealthy, both old and young, and life is tight. Our people were not wealthy, and the commune that everyone in the village longed for was only three or two thatched huts. ”

"My parents saw the hope in my eyes, saw the eagerness in the eyes of the teachers, and knew that I could read, and if I continued to read, the future would definitely be different, and they didn't want me to live a life without a future like theirs."

"Therefore, even if the family can't open the pot, I rely on a meal of mush to save my life a day, and I am desperately sent, and my brothers and sisters all support me wholeheartedly."

"Later, the people in the village found out about this, and they also took out a handful of vegetables, a bowl of grain, and a few cents from their own mouths to support me, and later, I became the only person in the entire commune to be admitted to university."

"The leaders of the commune organized everyone to raise donations for me and raise money for my journey, so that I could sit here and continue to study because of everyone."

"So, my dream is to return to my hometown after I finish my studies."

Yuzhi was shocked when he heard this, and he never thought that there was such a simple place and simple people.

She felt Xia Xiaoyue's pride and drive, her pride and hard work, and her perseverance.

Xia Xiaoyue saw that Yuzhi didn't react for a long time, and smiled embarrassedly: "Are you tired of listening?" I'm sorry, I've talked a lot since I was a child, and my parents always say that I'm a talker, and my mouth can't be idle. ”

"I just don't speak and I panic, in the dormitory these days, I've been miserable, it's rare to meet someone who is willing to listen to me, and I'm sorry."

Yuzhi smiled and shook his head: "It's not annoying, I'm just moved by your story, come on, as long as your pure heart remains the same, you will achieve what you want." ”

"Hehe, what's there to be touched about, we are remote, everyone is just warming up. But thank you for your encouragement, I will definitely work hard and never forget my original intention. You're so nice, thank you. ”

Yuzhi raised his lips: "I didn't do anything, what's the matter?" What do you do to thank me? ”

"If you are willing to listen to me and encourage me, you are a good person. The people in our dormitory, seeing that my hands and face were rotten, my clothes were torn, and my speech was dirty, they all hated me, and they didn't talk to me, nor did they sit with me, saying that I smelled on me. ”

"Only you don't dislike me, for so many days, only you are willing to listen to me, you are different from those people in the city."

Yu Zhi shook his head and smiled, how can there be so many people in the city, but there are not many people as poor as Xia Xiaoyue.

After all, no matter how much you love your child, filling your stomach is the first thing, and no one will gather the strength of the whole commune to come out and study with one child.

Those who can afford to read are more or less at home, and they still have some family backgrounds, at least not to the point of exhaustion.

can compare to Xia Xiaoyue's poverty, it's really hard to find.

But it didn't get to the point where she was much richer than her, after all, there are not many wealthy people in the general environment.

Therefore, those who dislike Xia Xiaoyue actually have average family backgrounds.

They disliked Xia Xiaoyue, but they just psychologically satisfied their vanity.

Thinking like this, Yuzhi felt that it was really a wise move not to live in school, these people had too many ideas, and she couldn't get along.

Of course, not everyone is like this, maybe Xia Xiaoyue is unlucky, and the dormitory she lives in happens to be full of such people.

"You are very good, you take care of your academic life, you can get everything by your own efforts, you are worthy of learning and praise, you don't have to care about what others say about you, you know what you have, just rely on it."

"Well, I don't care, I know what they're thinking, but I'm even happier with your encouragement. Yuzhi, which dormitory do you live in, I'll play with you then. ”

"I'm not in good health, I don't live on campus."

"Oh, no wonder I haven't seen you in the dormitory, your body looks a little thinner, what strength do you have in the future, you tell me, I'll help you, I have a lot of strength."

"Okay, thank you."

On the first day of school, Yuzhi gained a friendship.

When the teacher walked into the classroom, the classroom instantly fell silent, and everyone watched with wide eyes.

In the first class, knowledge will not be taught, everyone will get to know each other first, and then make a simple arrangement for the subsequent study, select cadres, receive books, and clean up.

Classes at university aren't always full, and the first day is especially relaxing.

While others were busy recommending themselves and presenting themselves, Yuzhi was taking the class schedule seriously, which was the only task given to her by her family.

The excitement lasted until ten o'clock, the books were distributed to each other, the teachers and classmates had a long talk, and at the end, almost eleven o'clock, the school was over.
