Chapter 40: Space Cultivation (4)
Because today is Sunday, there will be twice as many people in the night market as usual, so in the afternoon, the mother and daughter went to the vegetable market to buy ingredients, and they were busy washing vegetables and cutting vegetables, dressing skewers, and making dumplings all afternoon. The barbecue sold surprisingly well, compared to other meats, the vegetables taken out of the space were more popular, Nie Qiu secretly tasted the barbecue made with the vegetables in the space, the taste was similar, but it was less greasy, and more of the unique fragrance of vegetables.
Fried dumplings also sell well, because Nie Qiu also makes a lot of dumplings filled with other vegetables, and she also sells vegetarian fried dumplings cheaply, two cents a piece, compared to fried dumplings made with pork, five cents less, one dollar can buy five, and some children also like to buy them.
On this day, they were busy until late, although their barbecue dumplings and other things are still easy to sell, but after all, they are much more prepared, so they are busy until the early hours of the morning, and usually people who work in the factory also get off work at 12 o'clock in the evening, and they all ride battery cars and motorcycles to eat.
It was almost one o'clock in the morning when they had sold all the ingredients they had brought.
They packed up all their things, Nie Qiu looked at Nie Aifang's hand burned by oil stains, this is a wound that occurs every day, if you are not careful, something falls into the fuel tank, and there is oil splashing, even if you throw the ingredients to be baked into it, it is difficult to control the strength, she is distressed, but she doesn't say it, just said: "Mom, let me ride tonight!" I haven't ridden it yet! ”
Nie Aifang, who was cleaning up the tables, chairs and benches, was stunned, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll replace you to pick me up today." "Today's barbecue is sold out, and the weight is only a few barrels of oil and a box of unsold drinks, and the charcoal rack and fuel tank also have a honeycomb coal stove, plus her, it won't weigh much.
The two cleaned up the stall, Nie Aifang sat behind the tricycle, Nie Qiu turned on the hand brake with his hand, and began to pedal the tricycle forward, very hard, really hard. But Nie Aifang came over day after day, year after year.
Who is happier between her and the previous Nie Qiu, Nie Qiu asked herself in her heart more than once. However, there is no answer, and this is an unanswered question.
Nie Qiu looked up at the starry sky, how small human beings seem in this vast universe, how powerless are all the sorrows and troubles in this world? What else could she hope for? Although she has lost the love of her parents, but now that she has Nie Aifang, what is there not to be satisfied with?
In this world, there are people who are more unfortunate than her, aren't they? She has hands and feet, and she doesn't have any terminal illness, why don't she cherish her existence in this long river of time? Why not cherish your hard-earned mother's love? Nie Qiu smiled, she was not the most unlucky, she should cherish every minute and second of her existence.
Now the shops on the street have begun to turn off the lights, and all that remains is the rows of street lamps winding, Nie Qiu is humming a song while riding a car, and the car is carrying the warmest existence in her heart.
The next day was Monday, Nie Qiu came to school with his schoolbag, and the third class in the morning was physical education, in fact, all the physical education classes in the third year of junior high school were canceled, but for class ten, no matter what class was attended, it was all physical education and self-study class.
The classmates gathered on the playground, playing basketball, playing mobile phones, and jumping bands, Nie Qiu took an original book that he rented in the bookstore last night, sat under a ginkgo tree and read it.
Teacher Yang passed by the playground with a stack of test papers, and was stunned when he saw Nie Qiu, he smiled and walked over, "Nie Qiu, what I said, how did you think about it?" ”
Nie Qiu, who was reading a book, felt that the sunlight scattered around her was blocked, and when she looked up, she saw that it was the head teacher in her class, she was stunned, and based on politeness, she stood up and said hello, "Hello teacher." ”
"What did you think about what I told you?" As soon as Teacher Yang heard it, he knew that Nie Qiu hadn't heard what he said just now, he looked at the book in Nie Qiu's hand, and was quite surprised, it was "Sophie's World".
Nie Qiu thought for a moment, "Is the teacher talking about Fan Wen?" ”
Teacher Yang nodded, "How is it?" There is still a period of time before the monthly exam, and you have to let everyone see your progress. ”
"Okay." Nie Qiu smiled and nodded, "Teacher, can I apply for a class transfer after the monthly exam?" ”
Teacher Yang was stunned for a moment, but he could understand it when he thought about it, "What's wrong?" You don't like Class 10? Don't like teachers? ”
"It's not." Nie Qiu shook his head, "That's not the case, Teacher Yang, to be honest, Teacher Yang, you are the most responsible teacher I have ever met." Generally in slow classes, few teachers will take care of the affairs of students in slow classes. But the teacher will give us lessons, find us materials, find papers. But...... Teacher Yang, the learning atmosphere of Class 10 is not suitable for me, I want to ...... I want to go to high school. ”
Hearing Nie Qiu say that he wanted to take the high school entrance examination, Teacher Yang was a little stunned, although the school's admission rate is 70%, but except for those in the fast class, almost all the people in the slow class take money to go to high school, otherwise they are special students, special students have sports and art specialties, but Nie Qiu has neither sports nor art skills, so he can only study harder.
In class 10, how can you study hard? Although he feels that this girl has changed a lot and improved a lot. But in the environment of class 10, it will also affect her learning, right? I heard that she has to help the family do housework when she comes home from school every day, and she has to follow her mother to the stall, and she has no time to study after school.
"Nie Qiu, you tell the teacher, did something happen during your illness?" Teacher Yang looked at Nie Qiu and asked, "...... you A lot has changed. ”
Nie Qiu was at a loss for a moment, but soon she laughed, "I think the teacher should also know about my family's situation, teacher, if I can't get into high school, will I be like my mother, selling barbecue in the night market?" Or...... Going to work in another big city? ”
These are just words for Teacher Yang, but Teacher Yang actually believed it, he smiled and touched Nie Qiu's head, "Okay, as long as you are in the top two hundred in the whole grade in this monthly exam, I will apply to the school for you, as for whether you can pass or not, it depends on your own ability." ”
When Nie Qiu heard this, he nodded happily, "Okay, thank you, teacher!" "She doesn't like Class 10, she doesn't like it at all, it's not a good atmosphere for studying. In the past, she didn't have many friends or parents around, so she liked to stay quietly and read books, and the world created in the books filled her lonely mind, she was no longer lonely, she was accompanied by books.
Therefore, she has good grades and loves books, but in class 10, she can't read books well and study hard. During class, in class 10, she was surrounded by noisy classmates who were shouting for desertion, walking from east to west, playing with mobile phones, writing notes and playing games. may be because of the teacher, how can she be calm in such an environment? If she was still a teacher, she would have been furious in such a situation, right?
