At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Principal Zhao brought Xu Qingmu a reply from the commune where Xu Shuyue and several people participated in the exam.

"The above agreed, several of them, including the big girl, can take the exam, but they must pass every exam, and they can issue a graduation certificate after the fifth-grade graduation exam."

"Great, Humber, thank you so much!" Xu Qingmu excitedly grabbed Principal Zhao's hand and said words of thanks in his mouth.

Xu Shuxin was also very happy, especially Xu Shuyue, who was so excited that she couldn't hold back her tears, "Thank you, principal, thank you!" I will study hard and take exams well. ”

Xu Shuyu also said: "We will study hard and will definitely pass the exam, thank you principal!" ”

"But ......" Principal Zhao looked at the excited appearance of the family, and couldn't help but remind them, "Although a few of them don't go to school, they still have to collect tuition and miscellaneous fees, but they don't have to pay so much like others, you can only pay half, Aoki, do you think it's okay?" ”

Principal Zhao wasn't sure if Xu Qingmu could come up with the money.

In his opinion, Xu Shuyue didn't go to school, firstly, to save tuition and miscellaneous fees, and secondly, he didn't want to delay his family's earning work, and Xu Qingmu still owed money to the brigade was known to everyone in the Peace Brigade.

Although it is only half of the tuition and fees, it is also a burden for Xu Aoki.

Xu Qingmu nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Uncle Hong, don't worry, although my family is in difficulty, the children's tuition and miscellaneous fees can still be taken out, and I borrowed some from others, just to let the children study." ”

"Uncle Hong, you wait, I'll go get the money to go to school with you now, and I'm going to trouble Uncle Hong to go to school again."

Principal Zhao waved his hand, "What's the trouble, the school is in the village, and it's not far away, you can go quickly." ”

When Xu Qingmu heard this, he hurriedly ran into the house.

He came out quickly.

But after a while, he had already returned, and Principal Zhao didn't even have time to push back the buns that Cui Lanhua gave him.

As soon as Xu Qingmu came out, he saw Principal Zhao's movements, and immediately persuaded: "Uncle Hong, you can take it, this is my eldest brother and second brother came over today, and there is just leftover, you have helped us so much, but it is just two buns, it is nothing, I still think I have to give less." ”

Principal Zhao couldn't refuse, so he took it, but just said: "This is my duty, and I didn't help much, I just ran a trip." ”

At this time, Principal Zhao didn't know that Xu Qingmu gave him not only the two buns in his hand, but also Cui Lanhua had already sent them to his family once before he came back.

Xu Qingmu thought that everyone in the brigade knew the situation of his family, and it was not good to send him away, so he sent buns over.

Principal Zhao's daughter-in-law is different from Principal Zhao, she is a little greedy, and she accepts it very happily.

This time, Xu Shuxin didn't follow her to school, only Xu Qingmu went over.

After paying the tuition fee and coming back, Xu Qingmu was very happy in his heart.

When he returned home, he was not idle, and went to chop bamboo to make stools and chairs.

There are still too few stools at home, and after a guest comes to the door for the guest to sit, the family has no stool to sit on.

Xu Shuxin and several sisters also followed, but this time they did not pull bamboo shoots.

The bamboo shoots pulled out when they first made the bamboo bench were used to soak sour bamboo shoots because of the rain, but then they went to the bamboo forest one after another to pull the bamboo shoots and come back to cook and dry, and now they have accumulated a lot of dried bamboo shoots.

After two more days of drying, the last dried bamboo shoots were also dried, just in time for their father to exchange money with others.

At night, after the sky darkened, Xu Qingmu carried a bamboo basket and walked towards the cowshed with Xu Shuxin.

The bamboo basket contained the meat buns brought for Chen Jun, as well as a small package of medicinal herbs.

All of them are traditional Chinese medicine.

The father and daughter had just walked outside the small dilapidated house when they heard a serious voice coming from the house, "Who?" ”

This voice was very unfamiliar, Xu Shuxin knew that this was not Chen Jun's voice, so it could only be one of the other two people living with Chen Jun.

She was biased towards Lu Zhonghua in her heart, because he had been a soldier before, so his perception of the surrounding environment would be keen.

She shouted inside, "Grandpa Chen, it's me, Xinxin." ”

It wasn't loud, but it could be heard by the people in the room.

With a creak, the door opened, and the room was equally dark.

Chen Jun walked out and asked in a soft voice, "It's Xinxin, what are you doing here?" ”

The last time the two met, Chen Jun told her not to come over here if she was fine.

Of course, he is not ungrateful, just for her good.

Then she didn't come.

Now that she came over again, Chen Jun subconsciously thought that there was something wrong with her, and without waiting for her to answer, he hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong at home?" ”

Because of the sky, Xu Shuxin couldn't see the other party's expression clearly, but she heard the other party's anxiety, and hurriedly said: "It's something, but it's not a big deal, I just want Grandpa Chen to do me a favor." ”

"What's the busy?" Chen Jun asked.

Xu Qingmu took two steps forward, walked up to him, and said, "That's the case, old man, I have some medicinal herbs here, saying that they are used to regulate the body, and I want you to help see if eating it will be harmful to the body?" ”

"Oh? Let me see. Chen Jun took the basket.

Xu Qingmu said again: "Old man, wait until tomorrow and you can see it again, now it is dark and you can't see clearly, by the way, there are still a few buns in the basket, you can eat it in a while, otherwise it will be bad tomorrow." ”

"You take the buns back, I don't want them." Chen Jun said, "It's just to help look at the medicinal materials, I haven't repaid you for the last time you helped me buy medicine, how can I ask for your things?" Listen to me, take the buns back and give them to the children. ”

Xu Shuxin persuaded him, "Grandpa Chen, don't be busy refusing, my father and I sent you buns because we asked you." ”

"Don't wait for tomorrow, you bring me the medicinal herbs, and I'll show you now." Chen Jun said to Xu Qingmu, and then asked Xu Shuxin, "Xinxin, you say, apart from looking at the medicinal materials, what else do you want me to help with?" ”

Xu Qingmu hurriedly handed the medicine bag to Chen Jun.

Chen Jun opened the newspaper, put the medicinal herbs in front of his nose, and waited for Xu Shuxin's answer while identifying the medicinal herbs inside.

Xu Shuxin was not afraid, and said, "Grandpa Chen, do you know how to heal?" And you're still very good at medicine? Can I study medicine with you? ”

Chen Jun didn't answer, but asked her, "How do you know that I can heal?" Do you know that I am a good doctor? ”

"Because last time I gave Grandpa Chen a medicine, you said what medicine you needed, and the barefoot doctor in our team said that only people who know how to heal can prescribe such a good prescription."

"That's why you and your father came to me to help look at the herbs?"

"Yes."

"You guessed it right, I do know how to heal." "But can you tell us why you want to study medicine?" ”

"Because studying medicine can cure diseases and save people."

"Then if there is a bad person in front of you, can you save it?"
