Time flies slowly, fast and fast, and a year has passed like this. Summer vacation is here again, and it's always exciting to go home. Jiang Tao's song "Go Home" was playing on the school radio, which made Liu Nian's mood both happy and a little eager.

The bus stop sign to the long-distance bus station is nearly two miles away from the school, and you need to walk over, and you don't take it seriously when you usually go shopping and playing......

Finally, Liu Nian opened the car window and saw the familiar town.

"Master, stop at Pingling!" Liu Nian shouted.

The car stopped slowly, the door opened, Liu Nian jumped off lightly, and walked on the way home with brisk steps.

The innocent heat looked at the past, the oil road was steaming like a boiling pot, and the peanut seedlings on the side of the road were all drooping with leaves, with a loveless expression. Liu Nian simply took off his short sleeves and put them on his shoulders, humming a little song and taking a big stride.

When crossing the railway bridge cave, Liu Nian saw the "Eryang" uncle carrying a leather whip and grazing sheep in the ditch.

Liu Nian shouted happily: "Uncle Eryang! What about sheep! ”

Uncle Eryang raised his dark face and grinned and said, "Nian'er! Coming home for the holidays? ”

"It's a holiday!" Liu Nian replied with joy.

Uncle Eryang and Liu Nian are from the same village, Eryang is not another name, his real name is Eryang.

Eryang's father has herded sheep for a lifetime, and he has been poor for a lifetime. and gave birth to four children in succession, but they are all boys, probably because they want to make a sheep fortune, so the big one is called the big sheep, the second one is called the second sheep, and the third one is called the third sheep, and when the fourth child is born, the daughter-in-law said that he can't call the four sheep, so the fourth one is called the sheepfold.

There are sheep and circles, good days should always come, I didn't expect this nest of sheep, did not let the second sheep his father make a fortune, but even poorer, so poor that the daughter-in-law gave birth to the sheep nest after not eating and ran away with others, ran away from a village close to the township.

After the father of the second sheep found out, he took the sheep nest three times and twice to find the door, but the daughter-in-law couldn't shout back, so an old bachelor with four little singles with a group of sheep depended on each other and struggled to live.

Now the four sheep nests are in their twenties, but the family is poor, and there is no one to worry about, and none of the four brothers has a daughter-in-law. The big sheep, and the three sheep and the sheepfold have been working with the construction team all the year round, and only the second sheep inherited his father's career.

Although Uncle Eryang has not found a daughter-in-law in his thirties, he can't see him annoyed or worried, but he runs around the field with the sheep, and he is happy to see people talking.

It's just that Liu Nian has long heard from the village that Uncle Eryang is getting along with the daughter-in-law inspired by the village, and he doesn't know who hooked up with whom first.

It's strange to inspire this person, he works in Beijing all the year round, and he doesn't necessarily come back once a year, so he can rest assured that he is at home with his daughter-in-law and children.

This is good, Uncle Eryang secretly picked up a bargain. There was farm work in the field, so Uncle Eryang helped Qiqi's daughter-in-law work in the field, and the two of them drank soup together at night and then slept directly at Qiqi's house. I didn't know that this pair of people thought it was a couple.

Uncle Eryang, who inspired his daughter-in-law's liking, liked it very much, and the two of them didn't care about the rumors in the village. It was only when the inspiration came back that the two avoided it.

Later, even when Enlightenment was at home, Eryang also helped Enlightenment's family do farm work, and then ate with Enlightenment's two sons, of course, they didn't dare to sleep.

Eryang farmed for the inspiration family, and the inspiration was grateful, and the two made friends. No one knows about this thing, and I don't know what Inspiration thinks, and slowly there are rumors that there is something wrong with Inspiration, and the people in the village are relieved, and they are slowly accustomed to it, and they are not surprised.

Liu Nian will also learn to say with a hippie smile like an adult: "Uncle Eryang, didn't you go to work in the field?" The ground is alive! ”

Uncle Eryang immediately came to his senses and said with a smile: "The field is not busy, the field is not busy." ”

In fact, Uncle Eryang is really a good person, but his life is not good.

A few days after returning home, Shi Guoqiang rode a car to find Liu Nian, he couldn't wait for the school's notice, and shouted Liu Nian to go to the county education bureau to check his results in the high school entrance examination.

The report card was posted on the public notice board in the courtyard of the Education Bureau, and when the two arrived, the courtyard was full of people, and the front of the public notice board was even more impassable. The two of them slowly squeezed to the front, the billboard was very large, the names on it were small, and the rows were like ants.

The two of them looked intently from the first name, oh, Zhou Xinmin is on the list, Shi Guoqiang, what about Shi Guoqiang? From beginning to end, without seeing the three words Shi Guoqiang, Liu Nian already had a bad premonition.

"Maybe I missed it." Liu Nian comforted Shi Guoqiang.

"Let's take a look." Liu Nian said softly.

The two of them lay in front of the billboard, and searched again from beginning to end with their hands, looking more carefully than the first time, for fear of missing Shi Guoqiang's name.

"It's true that his name is not there, and this guy didn't pass the test!" Liu Nian secretly felt sorry for Shi Guoqiang in his heart, turned his face to look at Shi Guoqiang, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Shi Guoqiang was still looking for his name and pointing to line after line, his eyes were becoming more and more dazed, and the words in front of him were blurry and couldn't be seen clearly.

"It's over, it's over!" Shi Guoqiang's mind went blank, and then a huge sense of frustration suddenly came to his heart.

It's just that Shi Guoqiang didn't seem to be able to accept this reality for a while, he continued to hunch his waist, lowered his head and looked at the billboard as if he was still looking for his name.

At this moment, he didn't dare to raise his head, he was afraid that Liu Nian would see the tears rolling in his eyes, and he was afraid that Liu Nian would see his vulnerability. He wanted to preserve a shred of dignity in front of his friends.

From time to time, there were bursts of cheers and sighs, and those who laughed laughed and those who cried were crying, and the winners and losers formed a huge contrast.

"Why? Why? Shi Guoqiang kept screaming silently, his heart suddenly seemed to be pinched, his painful expression was a little distorted, and he really wanted to cry out loud at this moment.

"It's been three years, and I still haven't been admitted" Shi Guoqiang closed his eyes and sighed helplessly.

Liu Nian gently hugged Shi Guoqiang's shoulders and whispered: "Go back" Shi Guoqiang smiled reluctantly, as if comforting Liu Nian and comforting himself: "I didn't pass the exam again, it's okay, it's a big deal in the coming year!" ”

Liu Nian didn't know how to answer Shi Guoqiang's words, he just felt that he was very uncomfortable at this moment.

Friend, you are so frustrated at this moment, but there is nothing I can do.

Ay! The pain can be shared, but it will not be reduced at all. If it's really reduced, it's not really painful.

The two walked out of the compound of the Education Bureau in silence.

"You go home first, Liu Nian, I want to go to my father's place to see." Shi Guoqiang muttered. Liu Nian knew that Shi Guoqiang's father was not in good health and could not do farm work, so he had to find a job as a gatekeeper in a small food factory in the county seat, relying on his meager income to provide him with school.

"Well, then you pay attention." Liu Nian understood Shi Guoqiang's thoughts, maybe he was looking at his father, maybe he just wanted to find a quiet corner where no one was around.

"The country is strong! Come on! After Liu Nian walked out a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and shouted towards Shi Guoqiang. Shi Guoqiang turned his head and nodded, then waved his hand out twice, signaling Liu Nian to leave with confidence.

After breakfast the next day, Liu Nian set off again, and his sister's new car was placed at home, which was given by the eldest sister to the man, and it temporarily became Liu Nian's mount during the holiday. The fly in the ointment is that this car is a 26 women's car without girders, which makes Liu Nian feel a little weaker in momentum.

went to Zhou Xinmin's house, it is estimated that he didn't know that he had been admitted, tell him the good news! Zhou Xinmin's house is not far from Pingling Middle School, and it is almost there after crossing the ridge and descending the slope. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Zhou Xinmin's house, Liu Nian saw Zhou Xinmin and his younger brother in the yard helping the family with grass to feed the cows. Zhou Xinmin also saw Liu Nian at once, and hurriedly dropped the guillotine to welcome him.

"Zhou Xinmin, you were admitted to the secondary school, and the results were announced, I went to the Education Bureau yesterday to see it!" Liu Nian hurriedly told Zhou Xinmin the good news.

"Haha, I see, my dad took me to see it yesterday." Zhou Xinmin had a smile on his face.

"Huh? Why didn't I meet you? Liu Nian asked

"We didn't touch a single point." Zhou Xinmin said

"Xinmin, your classmate is here, hurry up and enter the house." Zhou Xinmin's mother heard the sound of talking and walked out of the house.

Liu Nian hurriedly called out to his aunt and followed him into the hall. Xinmin's mother actually treated Liu Nian as an adult and let him sit down, make tea, and take out a cigarette, and then sat aside and listened to the children, which made Liu Nian unnatural.

"Lao Shi, I didn't get in, he called me yesterday to see the results, how did this bear guy do it, his grades are usually not bad, but he won't be able to take the big exam!" Liu Nian has always felt sorry for Shi Guo.

"Maybe he's nervous and doesn't play well, who knows?" Zhou Xinmin was also puzzled.

"Is it your classmate Shi Guoqiang?" Zhou Xinmin's mother interjected, saw Zhou Xinmin nodded, and continued: "When his mother quarreled with her neighbors last year, she drank medicine and died in a fit of anger. ”

The two were silent for a while, this news was a bit unexpected, no one had heard Shi Guoqiang mention it.

"Hey! Maybe he's under a lot of pressure, right? Liu Nian couldn't help but sigh lightly. Zhou Xinmin also nodded thoughtfully.
