In the blink of an eye, April came.

On the day of the Qingming Festival, the Liu family finally got together after more than 20 years.

No one dares to question the unknown origin of the seventh uncle Liu Yuanshan, and no one dares to despise Liu Zhichun and Liu Zhixia The brothers are a branch of the house. All the Liu family respected the seventh uncle as the head of the clan, and the second uncle Liu Zhixia Jing was the core of the family.

Qingming ancestor worship is the top priority of Gangnan Village every year, and Gangnan children who study in the township or county must return to the village.

At noon, Yang Rui called eight high school students from the village to his house, set up a sumptuous banquet, and opened a bottle of Moutai.

Of the eight high school students, six boys and two girls, two are in the third year of high school, and three are each in the second year of high school. Five of them are the same as Yang Rui, two have to call Yang Rui uncle, and one ......

Yang Rui had to call her Aunt Sheng.

The two students in the third year of high school are both boys, one is a member of the Chen family, named Chen Tiancheng, and the other is a small family with a foreign surname, named Shang Mancang.

Yang Rui's talking object was mainly aimed at these two, and the other six juniors and sisters listened to it.

"How? There are still four months to go before the college entrance examination, are you sure that you will be admitted to university? ”

Chen Tiancheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

His goal is a junior secondary school, and he told his cousin Chen Tianhui that after two years of college and secondary school, he will come back to work with his cousin.

Yang Rui expressed his appreciation.

In these years, it is quite remarkable to be admitted to a college or secondary school, but I dare not expect all children to be admitted to university.

"No matter which college or secondary school, no matter what major, as long as you can pass the exam, Brother Bully will personally wear a big red flower for you and reward you with five hundred yuan!"

Chen Tiancheng was excited: "What if I am admitted to a college or university for a long time?" ”

Yang Ruile said: "The bonus is doubled, no matter how far away, Brother Bully will personally send you to school." ”

On the side, Shang Mancang was also excited: "Uncle bully, if I am admitted to a key undergraduate, how are you going to reward me?" ”

Since the liberation, Gangnan Village has only produced one undergraduate college student, Chen Chunhua, the old village chief's family.

After three years, if one more one can come out, it will definitely cause a sensation in Gangnan Village again.

Yang Rui squinted at Shang Mancang, this nephew with a foreign surname was not timid, and his gaze was quite firm.

"The undergraduate award is 2,000, plus a key point doubled, your bully uncle pays for it, invite the whole village to eat and congratulate you!"

Shang Mancang was not satisfied, and asked: "Then what if I get the champion of the county?" ”

Lying ...... Yang Rui raised his eyebrows, the stinky boy had such a big breath, and he dared to blow it more than the village chief.

On the other side, Yang Rui's student's aunt reminded in a whisper: "Village Chief, Mancang is the first in the grade in every semester in our county......

Yang Rui couldn't help but be stunned.

Why don't you send another sleeper...... The stinky boy really has two brushes.

"If you can really win the county champion...... I will build your family a building that is more magnificent than your bully uncle's new house, and in addition, I will give your family a monthly subsidy according to the treatment standard of the village committee members......"

After a pause, Yang Rui felt that the material rewards were not enough, and the spiritual level had to be strengthened.

"When the time comes, I will also ask County Magistrate Lou to personally wear a big red flower for you, and the whole county will march to show recognition!"

Shang Mancang was not satisfied, smiled meaningfully, and then said: "Uncle bully, in fact, I don't value these rewards very much, I ...... I'd like to make a request to you, is that okay? ”

Half a year ago, if you can get so many material rewards at once, it will definitely make people's blood boil. However, today, everyone in Gangnan Village is full of hope for the future, and the goal of 10,000 yuan seems to be within reach.

The villagers of Gangnan Village, who are about to become rich or have become rich, are far less hungry for material things than before.

Therefore, Shang Mancang said that he didn't attach much importance to these rewards, which was understandable, not pretending.

Yang Rui drank a glass of wine, took a sip of food, and responded: "Even if you mention it, it's no problem to ask for as many as you want." ”

Shang Mancang picked up the wine glass and accompanied Yang Rui for half a glass: "Uncle bully, when I come back from my studies, you have to teach me how to do things hand in hand like you did with Uncle Dalong." ”

Yang Rui fell silent.

At the dinner table, the eight students looked at each other, wondering why the village elder's mood suddenly turned cloudy.

"Full ......"

After half a cigarette, Yang Rui spoke again.

"Uncle Bully......

Shang Mancang didn't know what he said wrong, but after all, he caused the bully uncle's face to change, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

Yang Rui lit a cigarette and took a leisurely puff: "Let's be honest with Uncle Bully, since you are sure of being admitted to a key university, why do you plan to go back to the village?" ”

It was Shang Mancang's turn to be silent.

For money?

Shang Mancang shook his head secretly, money is something outside his body, when Gangnan Village was still in poverty, money was not his first pursuit of Shang Mancang, and now that the village is rich, the money is even less ranked.

To serve your hometown?

Shang Mancang couldn't help but sneer, there was a bully uncle in the village, there was one more of him and one less of him, there was almost no difference.

When Yang Rui smoked half of a cigarette, Shang Mancang finally found the correct answer:

"Because...... Adore! ”

Yang Rui couldn't help but be stunned, he couldn't have imagined that Shang Mancang would actually give such an answer.

Looking at the other seven students, this answer actually resonated with them.

Chasing stars is a unique hobby pursuit at their age, the bully village chief is handsome, can fight, and is especially good at making money, becoming an idol in their minds, in fact, it is not surprising at all.

Yang Rui smiled dumbly: "Don't make trouble, I'll talk to you about business!" ”

My aunt is an elder and speaks the most boldly: "It's not troublesome, what Mancang said is actually what we think in our hearts." ”

Yang Rui glanced over, and all the students nodded one after another.

"You've disappointed me so much......"

When he said this, Yang Rui tried his best to make a serious and heavy appearance, but in the eyes of others, there was some seriousness, but not much, and he didn't feel the heaviness at all.

What they read is happiness, joy, and forcibly pressing a heart that is so cool that it can't work.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was re-joyful.

"Okay, let's get down to business, I want to ask you a question, why do you study?"

My aunt was the first to answer: "Study for the rise of China!" ”

Yang Rui nodded.

Chen Tiancheng followed: "The teacher said that reading can change a person's fate. ”

Yang Rui nodded again.

Another student replied: "There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book......"

Yang Rui smiled, and by the way, he gave a chopstick to the top of the kid's head.

When Yang Rui looked at Shang Mancang, the county middle school bully said leisurely: "Therefore, if you don't climb the mountain, you don't know the height of the sky, you don't know the depth of the river, and you don't know the thickness of the earth...... Reading can make a person not climb high mountains or deep streams, but know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. ”
