Xiachong, a remote and backward village in Shennong City.

The origin of the name of the village is no longer verifiable. For thousands of years, there has been no explanation or record of this in any historical books and materials.

It's like the wild flowers and weeds on the side of the road, it quietly grows and dies quietly, and no one notices.

Many mountains and valleys crisscross each other, forming a topography of the downstroke.

All the mountains are not high, in the shape of steamed buns, like a family of brothers, one next to the other, one after another, echoing each other, continuous into soft lines.

From the aerial image, it looks like the gently undulating waves of the sea.

The mountains are dominated by Camellia oleifera, fir trees, pine trees, and other miscellaneous trees and shrubs that cannot be named.

Except for days when the snow is heavy, these trees are verdant all year round, dotted with the vitality and rich beauty of the mountain.

In the valley, there is a farmland with irregular shapes of hills, which extends from the valley according to the mountain.

Some are blocked by mountains, and some end up bordering the farmland of neighboring villages.

Due to the terrain, the villages are very small, and most of them are built on the hills.

Several or a dozen houses form a natural village, and the villages are also close to each other.

Each village basically has the same root and surname, developed from the family line, and is basically named after the surname, such as Zhangjiawan or Liujiachong or Lijiaao.

The people of Xiachong Village have lived happily and happily in the gap between the mountains for generations.

Today, two major events have occurred in Xiachong Village.

In the morning, news came from outside that Zhang Tao was off the list.

The news was like a bomb that blew up the entire village.

Zhang Tao is so good, and his grades have always been so good, will he fall off the list?

No way! When pigs fly!

Zhang Tao's young hair rushed to tell each other and spontaneously gathered together.

They all said, this is a rumor! is a guy with bad intentions, deliberately spreading rumors and causing trouble, slandering our great Brother Tao.

Right! Definitely! The source must be traced! Who is it that dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head!

With the increase in the number of news coming, and all of them have a clear eye, they all point to the accuracy of the news.

These young people are like mourning, and they are collectively in grief.

Huzi was the first to break out.

"Oh my God! O earth! Why don't you have eyes? ”

He wailed, stomped his feet, and cursed the heavens and the earth.

"Huzi, it's come to this, don't be too sad!" The monkey kindly reassured.

"Can I not be sad? It's cutting flesh in my chest! Huzi's cry was even louder.

"My Brother Tao! Why didn't such a miserable thing befall me? ”

"No! No way! Huzi shook his head and muttered to himself, "I have to find Brother Tao!" ”

Seeing that the tiger was endless, the monkey said impatiently, "What are you looking for Brother Tao for?" ”

"Suffer with him!" Huzi said confidently.

"Will Brother Tao want you to accompany you?" The monkey struck mercilessly.

Yes! Brother Tao is such a proud person, will he want to accompany him?

"You are clumsy, and when you find Brother Tao, you can't speak, and you may do things like salt on your wounds."

The monkey analyzed, "Don't worry about Brother Tao, he has someone to accompany him in the city!" ”

In the end, he made his own proposal.

"Let's go! Let's go to Brother Tao's house to have a look! ”

Zhang Tao's group of people walked towards his house.

When the news of Zhang Tao's fall from the list came, his family also fell into a gloomy fog.

The stove house is full of dishes, and the dishes are sumptuous and comparable to the New Year's Festival.

This is for today's celebration of Zhang Tao High School, the guests of the banquet.

But now it's almost a little bit, and there is still no smoke in the stove house, and not a single dish is cooked.

Chunhua sat on the small bench, looking at the dishes that had been prepared on the cutting board in a daze, her eyes were red and her face was full of sadness.

Meng Fei leaned against the pillar of the eaves and wept silently. Menglan sat on the ground and cried loudly.

If you really want to talk about the biggest blow, it has to be Zhang Tao's father Renlong.

Think about it for Renlong, can you not be sad?

He has been mixed up enough in his life, so he puts all his hopes on his son.

The son is also quite competitive, his high school grades have been good, and the college entrance examination is basically an ironclad and stable thing.

He is not the kind of person who can hide things, and if he doesn't shout out something in his heart, he will be very uncomfortable.

No, before his son was admitted to college, he was already shouting all over the world.

People in ten miles and eight towns know that this is the case, there is a Renlong teacher in Xiachong, and he has a good son, and this year's college entrance examination will definitely be on the gold list.

During the period before and after the college entrance examination, because he was happy, he drank more wine, and his son's affairs became more energetic.

His wife persuaded him, and his children stopped him, this has not yet come to fruition, don't get carried away, the city will burst into flowers, and people will be disgusted, this will be .......

His eyes widened, was it possible? Will this be the case with my son of Renlong?

This morning, he called many relatives and friends to his house for a drink.

He said that he would get together casually, but who didn't know that he was celebrating his son's high school in advance?

As a result, the drinking scene was just opened, the zombies came, and the son fell off the list.

This is a public slap in the face! This is a chest bayonet!

He, who has always had a good face, can he stand this humiliation and this pain?

Of course, I couldn't stand it, so I had to drink. Relatives and friends rushed over to drink celebratory wine, but now they know that they have become a companion to drink to relieve sorrow.

If you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk, and you can use wine to eliminate your sorrows. If this one word is so worried, how can it be eliminated by one or two glasses of wine?

Drinking and drinking, Renlong drank and sobered up.

He slapped the table and shouted, "Sister Lan, don't cry wolf!" Bring your mom and them over, I have something to say! ”

I am worried, and I must not have my son's suffering. The family must not burden their son and rub salt on his wounds.

"Tao Guma, there are two more concubines, I can say hello to you!" Renlong rarely put on the majesty of a parent and said.

"After Taogu comes back, none of you can improve the exam, let alone show a sad look."

"What we have to do is to let him forget about this unconsciously and come out of the pain of falling off the list!"

"We will work hard for another year, with his foundation, as long as he regains his confidence and fighting spirit, he will definitely go to high school!"

"That's right! Right! That's a pretty good thing to say today. Chunhua wiped away her tears and agreed.

"Mom, I won't read it in the second half of the year, and I'll make money for my brother to repeat!"

With tears in her eyes, Meng Lan bit her lip lightly, clenched her little fist and waved.

Chunhua ignored Menglan, she took Mengfei's hand, and said with a guilty face, "Big sister, you will also go to study in the second half of the year, and you will try to finish junior high school first." ”

"Mom, don't worry about me, it's useless for me to study for a few more years!"

Meng Fei said resolutely, "Our family's first task is to get my brother admitted to college!" ”

"It's been a year since you dropped out of school, and the whole family can't stand you!"

Spring flower's eye sockets moistened again.

"Because of your business, your brother has always felt uncomfortable."

"I guess if you don't go to school, he won't repeat it!"

"Big girl, listen to your mother! If you finish elementary Chinese, you can go to school as a substitute teacher. ”

Renlong interjected, "Don't worry! In the future, I'll quit drinking and do more for your mother! ”

"What do you do for me, can you speak? Is this home my own? Chunhua seized the loophole in Renlong's words and struck unhappily.

"Good! I was wrong! ”

Renlong hurriedly said with a smile, "In the future, I will go home to work as soon as I get off work." ”

At eight o'clock in the evening, the villagers in Xiachong had not yet recovered from their sorrows, and another greater bad news came.

Shufu made a mistake in the coal mine. His body was returned and placed on the playground of the elementary school.

Orchid and her two children threw themselves on Shufu's corpse, crying bitterly.

When the people in the village heard the news, they all rushed to the playground of the primary school.

The women who came wept with the orchid and said comforting words as much as they could.

The men gathered to discuss the cause of Shufu's death and what to do next.

Some young men with strong blood and vigor ran wild in the playground like angry lions, shouting that they would immediately go to the Fengxing Coal Mine to ask for an explanation.

However, the few people in the village who spoke loudly did not seem to have arrived, and the tiger and monkey were not there.

The prestige of these people who came first was not enough to come up with an opinion that would convince the whole village.
