Chapter 10 The son is studying for the college entrance examination, and the father is worried about paying off the debt

Wang Xiaofeng's typhoid fever, under the careful care of his family and Sister Yun, after more than a month of continuous treatment, finally defeated the disease, the serious illness gradually recovered, the fever stopped, and the diet increased day by day. It's just that due to the devastation of the disease, the body is still very weak, and I have to hold on to a stick when I walk, and I cough and wheezing after walking a few more steps. There is no need to be hospitalized to recuperate, and the family's money and borrowed money have been spent, and there is nowhere to borrow again. So Xiaofeng's father took Xiaofeng home with a board car to recuperate, good soup and rice, several meals a day, and made it for him to eat. Sister Yun saw that Xiao Feng's illness was finally cured, and her clenched heart relaxed, and she brought some delicious and delicious food from home to Xiao Feng every day.

Driving away the illness of the body, Wang Xiaofeng immediately remembered his schoolwork and the upcoming college entrance examination, and he was very anxious and almost couldn't sleep at night. He begged his father to take him to school on a cart. When my father heard this, he got angry and said, "You don't want to die? The doctor said, you have to take care of your health and rest. This disease is caused by overwork, physical loss, and lack of nutrition and rest, so I am most afraid of fatigue. School homework is so tight, food is so poor, if you are so tired and sick again, I won't be able to raise any more money to treat you! Sister Yun also advised him: "Right now, the body is more important than studying, and at this critical time, if you relapse from an old illness, the college entrance examination will be even more hopeless." It's better to be patient and recuperate at home for a few more days, and when you are stronger, I will personally send you to school. Wang Xiaofeng sighed: "I'm afraid that when my body recovers and the college entrance examination is over, I will be completely finished this year!" Sister Yun said: "This year is over, and I will review and take the exam again next year." As long as you still want to go to school, I will always support you, wait for you, and never hold you back. Wang Xiaofeng listened to everyone's persuasion, thought of the pain in his illness and the difficulty of raising medical expenses, and did not dare to be too tired, so he had to temporarily settle down, while recuperating, while reviewing his homework at home.

Sister Yun still visits Xiaofeng every day, and often makes some egg custard, meat buns and other foods for him to eat. Hearing that the old man said that fresh fish soup is the best nourishment for people, she joined a few close friends in the village to go down to the lake to catch fish and touch shrimp, and came back to boil fish and shrimp soup for him to drink. The young man is strong, once he is free of illness and has good nutrition, a week later, Wang Xiaofeng will lose his stick and can walk independently. At this time, he no longer listened to the persuasion of his family and Sister Yun, and went to school alone. Sister Yun was not at ease, so she rushed to the school to see him and persuaded him not only to study, but also to pay attention to rest, take good care of his body, and don't be too tired to cause old diseases. I used the money I usually saved to buy a carton of milk and send it, and told him to drink a bag every day before going to bed, which is beneficial to nourish the body. Wang Xiaofeng saw that Sister Yun was so caring and considerate, and it was inconvenient to be too strong, so she was not at ease, so she just agreed one by one for the time being.

Wang Xiaofeng immediately devoted himself to intense study, making up for new lessons, reviewing old lessons, getting up early and going to bed late, as always. It's just that the body has not fully recovered, and after a day of study, I am exhausted, my limbs are sore, and my two eyelids are straight together; When I returned to the dormitory, I was exempted from even simple washing, took off my shoes, and fell asleep on the bed with my kimono. Just as he was sleeping soundly, the wake-up bell rang again, and he immediately got up and threw himself into his intense study again.

In the blink of an eye, the time for the college entrance examination has arrived, and on July 7, 8, and 9, the national unified college entrance examination is in full swing, which is a grand gathering of high school graduates across the country, and is regarded as a decisive battle to determine the future and destiny of life. Ten years of hard work, once a fate. Not only the candidates attach great importance to it, but also all those who have college entrance examination students attach great importance to it. Starting from the morning of the 6th, the candidates and their parents from all over the county rushed to the county one after another, and chose a hostel near the examination room to live, eat and drink, and stationery, and everything was ready, just waiting to take the exam on time the next day.

Although Wang Xiaofeng was ill for more than a month, he was eager to win and took the college entrance examination with his classmates. The relatives were not at ease, on this day, Wang Xiaofeng's father and Sister Yun also hurried over, and brought a large package of new wheat noodles pancakes, fried small salted fish and boiled eggs from home, and Sister Yun went to the store to buy milk and drinks to prepare Xiaofeng's three-day exam. I don't know if it's because of excitement or nervousness, Wang Xiaofeng eats very little, doesn't sleep well, and gets up several times at night to flip through books and read; Although Sister Yun repeatedly persuaded her: "Exams are like working and fighting, you have to use your brains and efforts, you must eat well, rest well, and only then can you have the spirit of the exam." "He still couldn't eat and couldn't sleep. He didn't talk much, but now he talks even less. Before and after the exam, either read the book and endorse it, or close your eyes to recuperate; Regarding the persuasion of his father and Sister Yun, he either nodded, or said, "I know, you don't want to ruso." "He looked extremely impatient. When the two saw him like this, they knew that he was all about the college entrance examination, and it was useless to persuade him, and it was inconvenient to say more.

At the end of the three-day college entrance examination, Xiaofeng dragged his tired body back to his residence. When my father and Sister Yun met, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they asked Xiaofeng with a smile, "How did you do in the exam?" He shook his head and said only three words: "I don't know." "Jokes, you don't know it yourself, do others know? Seeing that Xiaofeng was reluctant to speak, and after three days of taking the exam, he was exhausted, and he couldn't bear to ask more. No matter how well you do in the exam, when the exam is over, everything is a foregone conclusion, and the results will be known later, and it is useless to ask at this time, everything is left to fate. So the three of them packed their bags together and immediately went home.

Wang Xiaofeng returned home, didn't say anything, didn't do anything, fell asleep on the bed, despite the hot weather, flies lingering, sweating profusely, he still snored like thunder, and couldn't wake up. His parents and Sister Yun knew that he was too nervous to study and too tired these days, so they didn't wake him up, and let him go to sleep until he woke up one day and one night. When he woke up, took a serious bath, and after eating and drinking, he asked his father, "What farm work is there to do in the field now?" ”

When the father saw that his son took the initiative to work, he knew that he had successfully passed the college entrance examination, put down his ideological baggage, and was in a much better mood; I also settled down in my heart, and I no longer worried about my son's body and college entrance examination. Naturally, there is a lot of work to be done in the fields now; However, what he was thinking about was Sister Yun's thoughts and emotions - during this time, she had done so many things for Xiaofeng's treatment and college entrance examination, and she was really doing her best and thinking hard. At this moment, Xiaofeng is well and has passed the college entrance examination, what will she think? What are the requirements? What do you want his family and Xiaofeng to do? In short, their family and Xiaofeng should be worthy of others, and they should do something to repay and compensate, and they can't chill people's hearts, so that Sister Yun feels that the Wang family is ruthless and unrighteous when they cross the river and demolish the bridge. He was afraid that Xiaofeng only thought about the crops in the field, wanted to repay his parents, and forgot Sister Yun's affection. Taking this opportunity, he wants to talk to Xiaofeng seriously and remind him. Therefore, instead of answering Komine's question immediately, he pointed to the bench in front of him and told him to sit down first. Seeing that his father was so serious, Xiao Feng knew that he must have something important to say to him, so he sat down obediently and looked at his father, listened to what his father said, and assigned him to do something.

The father said, "Naturally, you will be asked to do the work in the fields." But I think that from your illness, treatment to the college entrance examination, Sister Yun has always been with you, worrying about labor, not only spending money herself, but also helping to borrow money, and doing her best; Now, your illness is cured, and the college entrance examination is over, you should also accompany others to have a good time for a few days, say some words of gratitude, and don't make people feel cold and feel that we are ruthless and unjust. ”

It turned out to be this thing. Komine also thought about it before. During this time, Sister Yun was indeed too hard and tired, especially during the period when he was hospitalized, she guarded him day and night, feeding medicine and food, serving feces and urine, washing and wiping her body, doing everything, and often moved him. Now that everything is over, although I have delayed a period of study, I finally did not delay the college entrance examination, which is a blessing in misfortune! It is really thanks to Sister Yun's hard work and hard work! Both the one she loved and the one who was benefactor, at this moment, he should show something and repay her. I wanted to buy a gift for her, but I was powerless, I had no money, and the family's money was spent for his treatment, and I owed a lot of debts. The only way to thank her is to have fun with her, say some words of thanks, and warm her heart. However, on the other hand, for more than a month, the farm work in the field has been delayed a lot, and he is afraid that his parents will have opinions, complaining that he only thinks about the object and forgets his parents. I don't want my father to mention it first, and it seems that my parents also feel deeply. He had no choice but to nod his head in agreement; I still have farm work in mind.

"From now on," continued the father, "the work of the fields will be left to you; I'm going to work at the construction station in the township and earn some money to pay off the bills. He sighed, a cloud of sorrow on his face. You have spent so much money on this serious illness, you know? Most of them were borrowed from relatives and friends. Who doesn't want money? In case of emergency, people are willing to lend us money to treat the disease and save lives, which is already a great favor! After that, we have to find a way to return it to others as soon as possible. Especially the money of Sister Yun's family, at a critical time, she is willing to lend us money, which is really enough face, which is rare! We have to pay it back first, pay it back quickly, and we can't ask her parents to gossip and look down on us. ”

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Of course, there are borrowings and repayments, don't delay people's money." Since the construction station has money to make, you can rest assured that I will do the farm work at home. ”

The father was still preoccupied, he smoked a dry cigarette for a while, put down the tobacco pouch, and said, "Also, if you are admitted to university, you will have to spend more money, where will you raise it?" Thinking about these things, these days, I'm dying of sorrow, and I can't sleep night after night. Wang Xiaofeng thought about his hospitalization and knew that his father's words were true, so he said: "Otherwise, I will also work with you in the construction station to make money." The father shook his head again and again: "What kind of business is this?" Construction is both technical and physical work. With your body, it's good to be seriously ill, and you can't bear it! Don't get sick anymore and spend money again. Supposedly, you should be told to rest for a few days, but there is no way, in July and August, the farm work in the fields is tight, and your mother can't do it alone, so you can help your mother at home to work in the busy fields. It is important to make money to pay off debts, and it is also important for the whole family to eat food, so don't delay the crops in the field! When he saw that his father was still worried and tired for the whole family at such an age, and that he loved him so much, he was very moved, and it was inconvenient to say anything, so he had to obediently promise his father to stay at home and help his mother do the farm work in the contracted fields.
