Chapter 5: The Great Voyage
1. Go green
At that time, my Chinese scores were getting better and better, but my math scores were real and could not be improved.
It wasn't until the second volume of our sixth grade that the graduation results of Xiaosheng Junior High School came out, although my score reached the admission score line of Qingyun Middle School, but because my grades were seriously biased - my Chinese score was very high, and my math score was too low! So I was turned away from Qingyun Middle School and stepped into the door of Qingyun No. 2 Middle School instead.
Our class was admitted to Qingyun No. 1 Middle School, but there were only two classmates, Li Weihua and Zhao Zelin, who usually looked inconspicuous and insisted that silence was golden.
My cousin Li Jinyun, who performed abnormally in the exam, and Li Yanxiang's cousin, who was lucky enough to pass the passing line by one point, we successfully stepped into the door of Qingyun No. 2 Middle School together!
Five of my siblings from the same village traveled north to the Lakeside Middle School, about three kilometers from our school.
My sister and my cousin, as well as Sister Yang Bowen and Brother Chen Ruixiang, who are in the same class as the two of them in our village, the four of them were also very magically admitted to our county No. 1 middle school with their scores!
My mom was very happy about this, so when it was time for me and my sister to go to school, my parents set up a grand plan to encourage us to keep going!
The rest of our older brothers went to the vocational high school, which was about five kilometers away from our school.
2. The ambition of Qingyun
On the first day of school, my father led our group to the vice principal's office to meet his elementary school classmate, Uncle Qi Yu.
When we met Uncle Qi Yu, my two cousins and I first greeted him together, and then the three of us went out of his office and waited outside with my mom for my father to come out.
After a while my father came out. He told us that I had been assigned to the excellent class of Class 58, and my two cousins had been assigned to the same excellent class of Class 59!
After that, my mom and they went to pay the tuition for our homeroom teacher, and there was a steady stream of parents who came to pay the tuition, so my father and I went to our school's park pavilion to take a break.
I sat in the pavilion and looked around with joy at the wonderful school environment, and my eyes were full of infinite hope for the future!
At that time, my father told me in a serious tone: "It is not easy for you and your two cousins to successfully enter the Qingyun No. 2 Middle School to study, so you must cherish and plan your future in this regard." And you, as the brother of your two cousins, should set a good example! It's a responsibility and an honor for you! β
When I heard this, I said with my father with confidence, "Naturally, it should be!" β
After waiting for my mom to pay the tuition, we went to my dorm. My dormitory is fixed on the third floor of the 303 dormitory, and the bed is also located next to the door of my primary school.
The two dormitories, 303 and 304, are also specially arranged for our students in Class 5 and 8. And the other classes are also arranged in turn.
In the evening, we went back to school after having fun outside. Later, my parents helped me lay out bed sheets and mosquito nets, and handed out bags of snacks to my bookworm roommates.
To do this well, my parents and I went to my homeroom teacher to get my military training uniform, and we were greeted by my new classmate, Yang Yuchun.
This is the part I am looking forward to the most! My parents wanted me to go to college and join the military in college, and that's exactly what I wanted to do. So I myself am looking forward to that military training. I think this will be some basic training and correction for me before I go to the army!
When I got back to the dorm, I chatted with my seven bookworm roommates from all over the world, and we got to know each other very well.
Li Kairui, Wang Mingzhe, Dr. Wu, Xiong Jinrui, and Zhu Shilei are from the local area. Because my parents are busy with work, they live with us.
And Chen Baile and Zhang Daqing are from other places. The parents and family members of the two families came to Qingyun County when they were young. It's also because my parents are busy with work, so the two of them live with all of us.
Among them, Li Kairui, Dr. Wu, Xiong Rui, Zhang Qing, the five of us prefer ball games, while Wang Mingzhe and Zhu Lei prefer singing and dancing.
And Liu Yuxin, he likes to read fiction books and comic books the most. His bed corner and suitcase were always neatly stacked with all sorts of fiction and comic books he had bought and read.
I don't remember much about the general process of military training, but I remember that our class had a relatively "pleasant" time......
After the military training, we went home for the holidays! I packed up my stuff from my dorm room and said goodbye to my new friends, and then went to meet my two cousins.
When we got out of the school gate, I would turn left and go to the Penglai fruit house next to it, and buy some fruits to take home to honor my grandparents! After middle school, I mostly did that every Friday when we came home for the holidays.
When my parents send us to school on Sundays and give me pocket money, I spend some of it. When we got out of school on Friday, I used the money to buy a bag of fruit to take home and honor my grandparents! And that's what I should do, because my grandparents always cared about me and my sister!
After buying the fruits, we walked together to Xiangyun Bus Station, where we waited for my sisters and them. We would take the shuttle bus to Manda, and then our parents would wait for us at Manda and take us home. When we get home, my grandmother will happily come out to greet us!
Hua Ling: "......"
Li Kailong - wiping tears.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At this time, I will happily unload my school bag and open it and take out a bag of fruit for my grandmother.
Finally I went to meet my friends. We would play together at the Garden Court and have fun chatting about some of the fun things that happened in the new school!
3. Dark Night Storm
Just when I thought that everything in my life was continuing to develop towards the good side, the future was changing one after another, as if it were lining up, and it was coming to me violently.
In my third week of entering Qingyun No. 2 Middle School to pursue my studies, an underworld force is sweeping towards most of the freshmen in our first year of junior high school.
It was Sunday night, and my seven bookworm roommates and I were studying in the classroom all night and coming back to the dorm room to do our own thing. But suddenly, five tall classmates from our same grade broke into our dormitory and locked the door.
They came and demanded unjustified protection money from us. And before that, they had been secretly observing our activities.
We told them that the money was all spent when we went out in the afternoon. So they retorted to us: "We have been observing the people in these three floors for a long time, and we came to the door only when we had enough evidence!" "And they were living on the second floor.
Then they searched us and rummaged through our beds and luggage. After that, they divided the pocket money they found with us on Liu Yuxin's bed in my lower bunk.
They even brought a notebook and a pen and told us to register our names in the notebook. Eventually, they recorded in the notebook the pocket money they had scavenged from each of us, and told us to pay half of that amount in the future.
They also explained to us: "This money is going to be collected and handed over to our big brother Shar Pei who lives in society!" β
But later, we all knew that the big brother Shar Pei in their mouth was actually just a small character. And those really big people won't show off easily.
Before leaving, they warned us: "If you don't pay this number on Sunday, we will do it to you!" β
In the end, they naturally put down their cruel words and said to us: "If you dare to go to the teacher to complain, we will have to come and ask for your life!" β
This is indeed the case. At that time, several of our classmates living on the first floor bravely went to the teacher to complain, and the five initiators were immediately taken to the office by our director Tang Ci for questioning. However, due to insufficient evidence, the five students were later released.
And the students who whistleblower went out of school on Friday and walked to Xiangyun Bus Station when they stopped the road and taught them a lesson.
At that time, my seven bookworm roommates and I sat on the beds of our roommates in confusion and pondered - most of us couldn't believe that there were such people in this beautiful middle school?!
And after we had agreed on it, we decided to wait for our housekeeper to tell her about it when she came to check on her. So we all sat with our backs against the wall in our respective beds, anxiously waiting for her arrival.
When we finally got to her, we eagerly told her about it. But when she heard this, she said, "Why don't you hide your money a little better?" And just tell your teachers about it! β
We were all on the verge of crying at her β if we could have explained it to the teachers, we wouldn't have begged her for help. In the end, we all had no choice but to discuss and finally decided to compromise with them.
That night, I lay in my bed and couldn't sleep for a long time - I missed my friends so much!
Since then, I have been reluctant to pay those protection money every Sunday, but in exchange for the long-term unpleasantness......
But what hurts me the most is that every time I come home on a Friday, I have to deal with my family and my friends with a smile on my face.
At that time, I had to perform very good acting skills to "fool" them......
And every laughter and laughter of my family and my friends can deeply sting my heart. It also makes me feel useless!
It's not the pocket money that makes me miserable, it's that I'm actually slowly evolving into a coward who is dominated for no reason. I will be sorry for my parents, elders, elders and my friends who are optimistic about my growth, and even more sorry for myself!
One weekend, I was watching a movie at home, and at this time, I was lucky enough to find the answer from a martial arts movie - in the face of the oppression of the bad guys, the protagonist is always brave enough to come up with a way to deal with it!
After watching that martial arts movie, I also saw the sun like a cloud, and suddenly became enlightened! So I had to look for several martial arts movies to watch.
After reading it, I was full of enthusiasm! So I started to strengthen my body, and silently learned to imitate those moves in martial arts movies.
I was determined to end my nightmare with my own hands, so I made a plan to save money and get fit for over a month.
And in this month's time, I have gradually regained my former free and cheerful self! Even behind the scenes, my physical skills were almost surpassing most of my friends at that time!
My plan was to organize a duel to finish them off on the longboard meadow behind our school. And my biggest confidence at that time was my friends in the same village, those brothers who studied in vocational high schools, and the two big brothers in our village who had strong connections in Qingyun County.
When the time came, I told my friends about it one weekend.
I said to them, "When the time comes, you can take a taxi to the Nagasaka slope meadow on the mountain behind our school and wait for us to come out, and I will pay the taxi fare!" β
I ended up buying two packs of cigarettes and going to my older brothers who were studying at a vocational high school. After getting rid of them, I bought two packs of cigarettes and two packs of melon seeds to find the two big brothers in our village who had strong connections in Qingyun County, and asked for their contact information.
The two of them are also very refreshing! And I promised: "If you have anything in Qingyun County in the future, contact us!" β
On Sunday night, I paid the five students protection money as usual. Finally, before going to bed, I told my seven bookworm roommates about my plans. And to my surprise β they all unanimously supported my plan! This is very different from their usual way of subservience to those five classmates!
Finally, on Friday morning, during recess, I united Ma Jieyu, a classmate in our class who also has strong connections in Qingyun County, and the more active classmates in our class around him.
I explained the reason to him, and we went to our school's public bathroom to find the five classmates. Because during recess, they usually hide in the toilet and smoke.
After finding those five classmates, Ma Jieyu acted as our messenger to help us issue a battle letter to them - we agreed to have a decisive battle on the longboard slope grass in the mountain behind our school after school in the afternoon!
At noon, after I had a good meal with my seven bookworm roommates, I went to the third floor of our group to unite the five classmates who had been paid for protection.
I told them, "In the afternoon we will have a battle of salvation after school on the longboard meadow on the hill behind our school. β
In the afternoon, I found my two cousins after school and explained to them, "I'm going to buy something at Darling's supermarket later, so you can wait for me at Xiangyun Bus Station first." β
Out of the school gate, our group scattered and turned right and walked around the longboard slope grass on the hill behind the school.
When I got there, I was deeply touched by Xiao Lizi, Chen Jinlong, Wang Yang, Wang Jingui and their new classmates who had been waiting for us there for a long time!
So a large group of us were there waiting for our older brothers who had not yet appeared, our older brothers who were studying at the vocational high school, and the five classmates who had made an appointment.
Ten minutes later, the five classmates and their assistants arrived one after another, so Ma Jieyu told me to rush over and give us all a lottery.
I was a little frightened, but after a quick weigh-up, I made up my mind to rush forward. And the friends behind me also swarmed up.
In the chaos, I saw our older brothers and their new classmates who arrived in time, so we were even more powerful!
Quickly to the end stage, someone coincidentally shouted loudly: "Someone called the police!" So we miraculously and quickly gathered our energy, and we each ran away in all directions.
The battle of Nagasaka Slope announced that the days when we were bullied by those five classmates to collect protection money are gone! At the same time, most of us who participated in the war also gained precious friendships with each other!
One day after that, their big brother Shar Pei couldn't live anymore because of some reason in our Qingyun County, so he gradually disappeared!
And those five students, because they couldn't live in our school, immediately transferred to another school. But then we heard that they were being bullied at their new school, so three of them indirectly dropped out.
Through this, I have the basic indicators that I am always eager to improve and strengthen myself!!
3. Magpies fly south
My life is officially back on track, and everything around me is continuing to flourish according to my wishes!
On Sunday, we were happily sent by our parents to Manda to wait for the shuttle, and then took the shuttle bus to Xiangyun Bus Station.
After getting off the bus, I would take a taxi with my sister and them to Daling Supermarket to buy groceries. Then my two cousins and I came out of Darling's supermarket and walked back to school with big bags of things in our hands β one to exercise and the other to save on taxis. Our school is not too far from Darling Supermarket, about a 10-minute walk.
When I put the bags on my bed, I went to eat with my fellow villagers at Lakeside Middle School to eat, play billiards, and play games like pirate ships!
When I get back to school in the afternoon, I go to the court with my seven bookworm roommates and have fun playing basketball. After that, there is evening self-study, and then there are serious classes from Monday to Friday.
Back then, because I was a Chinese and mathematics exam, although I reached the score line, but because I was seriously biased, Qingyun Middle School turned me away.
Waiting for me to successfully step into the door of Qingyun No. 2 Middle School, the biggest pressure I will face next is the upper, middle and lower academic performance. Because I stepped into Qingyun No. 2 Middle School at that time, it was equivalent to carrying the hope of the village, so I always had to be more cautious than my classmates in what I spoke and did, and I need to always be self-motivated!
Fortunately, I was another noble person at that time, Mr. Wang Changwen, who always took good care of me in my studies! The reason is that I have planted a strong foundation in Chinese in elementary school, and I am still effective in junior high school. Therefore, my essays often receive high marks from Mr. Wang Changwen and his comments and encouragement!
Among all the sessions, my personal favorite was when I went out of the school gate with my two cousins during our Friday afternoon holiday, and then I habitually turned left and entered the Penglai Fruit House!
After dealing with the unhappiness in the early stage, I finally spent the first semester of junior high school according to my good intentions. So most of us are also very happy to usher in the winter vacation that we have been longing for!
But it was the beginning of that winter vacation that broke the long-term progressive, peaceful and stable life order of my family and me.
At that time, the government called for and suddenly confiscated the hunting rifles of every household in our village, and forbade us to hunt any wild protected animals. However, the hunters in our village still secretly make traps to catch those prey, and my grandfather was one of them.
At that time, he and Little Lizi's grandfather went together as usual to harvest the traps they had set up in our forest hunting area in the winter to catch grouse.
But when the two of them came back at night, they met the forest police patrolling on the road, so they were arrested on the spot.
When our family found out, my grandmother burst into tears. In the end, my family also raised money to pay my grandfather's huge fine.
During that time, my family and I have been working hard and busy for this!!
My grandmother, on the other hand, was always working harder than ever with us, trying to hide her sadness in this way.
When I waited for the evening, my grandmother often told me and my sister stories, and her eyes often looked in the direction where my grandfather was, and calculated with the two of us how many days my grandfather would be able to return home......
Six months later, my grandfather and Xiao Lizi's grandfather came out! So my parents went to the Qingyun County Public Security Bureau to pick up my grandfather home, while my sister and I helped my grandmother get up early in the morning and clean up.
In the end, my grandmother also cooked a lot of hearty and delicious meals waiting for my grandfather to come home!
At noon, my sister told me that my grandfather had come home! So I ran out excitedly to meet my grandfather. But I saw that my grandfather had not only lost a lot of weight, but also had a dull look in his eyes, which was in stark contrast to how energetic he had been.
At that time, I felt a great sense of strangeness to the grandfather in front of me, and then I also had an inexplicable sense of sadness.
On the third day after my grandfather came back, my parents made a grand King Kong circle for my grandfather with a sturdy pig that we carefully kept in captivity for the Chinese New Year.
After a period of precipitation, just when I thought that everything would return to normal, my grandfather and his grandfather had a special situation that my family and I did not expect.
That Friday, we had a holiday in the afternoon, and I habitually left out of the school gate and turned left into Penglai Fruit House to buy fruit to honor my grandparents. But my mom came to pick me up and my sister on the way home, and told us both about my grandfather's last Wednesday, after going out to get drunk, came home and had a big fight with my grandmother for some reason.
At that time, I was stunned when I heard it, and I couldn't stop trembling in the depths of my heart, I couldn't believe it! So I asked my mom, "Why is that?!" And my mom said she didn't know why.
When we got home, my grandmother didn't come out to greet us as usual, so I quickly went to my grandmother and asked what was going on?!
My grandmother was cooking in the kitchen and was happy to greet me when she saw me coming home!
Hua Ling: "......"
Li Kailong - wiping tears.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
I asked my grandmother why my grandfather was arguing with her?! And my grandmother replied that she didn't know either......
After that, my grandfather would take advantage of the time between us going to school and come back to quarrel with my grandmother and my mother after getting drunk at night.
After that, when we came home from the holiday on Friday, he was very drunk at night, stumbled home, and after going to bed, he began to quarrel with my grandmother inexplicably.
Sometimes, he would mumble to himself until dawn. It also made our family deeply anxious and uneasy about it during that time.
So for the rest of the day, we wouldn't let my grandfather go out for a drink. At the same time, we also told the grandfathers who often came to my grandfather for drinks, begging them not to come to my grandfather for a drink for the time being.
And after that, my family also made another grand vajra circle for my grandfather.
And just when we thought that my grandfather would stop for a while, he would suddenly get up from his bed in the middle of the night and go to the yard to smoke one night after that.
We asked him, "Why did you do that?" β
He explained to us, "My 'friends' are going to come to me for a drink, and I'm going to wait for them here." Then he asked my grandmother and my mother to make a fire and cook for his "friends" who would come and entertain him. So our family would stay with my grandfather for almost the early hours of the morning before he could go to sleep.
After that, my grandfather would suddenly accuse my grandmother when we were sleeping at night: "Why don't you cook to entertain my 'friends'!" β
And one night after that, my grandmother finally reasoned with him, and my grandfather rarely spoke until then......
One afternoon, I vividly remember being in the courtyard, after we had all eaten and dispersed, I thought about going to talk to my grandfather. But my grandfather suddenly said to me very formally: "You and your sister and cousin must study and study hard in the future, and don't let others look down on you in the future!" β
Hua Ling: "......"
Li Kailong - wiping tears.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
So in those days, I had an ominous premonition......
And on the afternoon of March 11, when we were in school, my grandfather ended his life with a rope......
That afternoon, when we had lunch at school, my cousin, who works in Qingyun County, chartered a car and came to our school to look for me and my two cousins.
She came to my dormitory and told me in our national dialect that my grandfather was no longer alive.
When I heard it, I was instantly stunned. I was overwhelmed for a while, so I showed a hideous face, and I couldn't believe the truth of this matter!
After picking up me and my two cousins, we went to the county No. 1 middle school to find my sister and my cousin.
On the way home, my sisters cried, but I was unusually calm and unfazed. Even a few days after my grandfather was gone, I was still the same.
But one day after that, when I looked at the roads my grandfather had walked and the places he had sit, and looked back on the past, I couldn't stop crying.
Especially in the autumn time. I often burst into tears, thinking of the precious time when my grandfather and we lived and worked together in the countryside!
A month later, a beautiful magpie would often fly happily to the top of the two red bean trees in my yard from the beautiful mountain forest to the south of my house.
In the spring and autumn months after that, it is often the same!!
4. A letter from Li Yanxiang's cousin
The second semester of the third year of junior high school is approaching the final exam. In the series of exams before that, only my Chinese language has been relatively high and in a stable position under the affirmative guidance of the noble teacher Wang Changwen.
But my math is getting worse and worse! Truth be told, when I was in my third year of high school in the future, I was even so bad at math that I had scored a single digit in my exams. And this is one of the important elements of my determination to start a business in the future!
If it weren't for my philology at the time, I would have really accepted that we were so bad. But three weeks before the entrance exam, my cousin Li Yanxiang suddenly wrote me a letter, and it was this letter that corrected the trajectory of my life by mistake!
Because I had a lot of suitors at that time, and there were a few of them in my cousin's class. So they asked one of my cousins, Li Yanxiang, who was better at talking, to be their elder, and asked her to help with the communication.
So one day when we came home from vacation, my cousin Li Yanxiang asked me if I had a girlfriend? I replied that she didn't, so she introduced me to a few people and asked me to choose one.
I politely refused because I knew that I was not yet capable of being responsible for my partner!
But what I really didn't expect was that in the next three years, the female classmates in my two cousins' classes did not give up because of this, but seemed to have made up their minds to ask Li Yanxiang for help. My cousin Li Yanxiang also blamed me for this and sulked with me.
She was shopping with her roommates, and when she passed by a stationery store, she saw those beautiful envelopes on the shelves, so she went in and bought one.
She later explained to me that because she was afraid that I would not be able to handle the relationship between men and women well in the new school, she decided to write a letter to wake up the "obsessive" me.
I remember the content of the letter in general, but I remember my cousin saying to me: "If you meet a virtuous and suitable person who cares for you sincerely, you will start a family first, and then start a business!" β
But that's not the point for me, the point is that she wrote: "When you are admitted to the county No. 1 middle school, we will have to separate, I hope that when you are not with us, you can feel and take those who really like you seriously, don't always be so cold!" β
My cousin was very sure that I was able to get into our county No. 1 high school successfully! The real situation I was in at that time was that in addition to Chinese and other subjects, it was really indescribable that mathematics was also the main force. Therefore, at that time, I was not sure about being admitted to the county No. 1 middle school. Always take a step, count a step, it can also be said to be muddy.
But when I saw that my cousin Li Yanxiang wrote to me in the letter that was so sure that I was admitted to the county No. 1 middle school, when I went to bed at night, I kept thinking about myself on the bed on my cousin's words, and fell into temporary pain.
The reason is - if I hadn't been admitted to the county No. 1 middle school, wouldn't I have failed my cousin Li Yanxiang's heart?! So I was thinking about it in bed, and I was struggling in the depths of my heart......
Because I knew that my comprehensive study at that time was far from being able to be admitted to the county No. 1 middle school. But my cousin Li Yanxiang's words were like a honey spell, and they kept hitting my heart.
So, after quietly summarizing for a long time and correctly evaluating my ability, I made up my mind to be admitted to the county No. 1 middle school! And with the blessing of my cousin Li Yanxiang's honey mantra, I also figured out many things at once!
The potential energy value is constantly breaking through the small ceilings that are sealed! So, every day for the next three weeks, I could barely speak. It's just like walking on thin ice to study, be transparent, and memorize many example questions in those textbooks and test papers.
Three weeks later, we have officially started our entrance exams! But what was different from the past was that I was quite happy and prepared for the entrance exam!
The process of the exam was relatively smooth, and there were indeed a lot of questions that were "like brothers" with the example questions I had seen before!
By the time we returned to the dormitory with my seven bookworm roommates, I was even more speechless and walking on thin ice!
There is only one thing I have done - to continue to accumulate energy reasonably and make great progress to the next city!!
6. Principal Liu Biao
Less than two months after the start of high school, we had a new principal, a new principal who had a revolutionary effect on my life at that time - Principal Liu Biao!
Like Principal Wang Yunwen of my primary school, he is also a real doer!
It is said that the new official is on fire, and so is our principal Liu Biao. But the difference is that his fire burns with precision and exquisiteness!
After he took office, he first blessed us with a garden-like campus environment - a variety of beautiful flowers and trees were developed and planted in the school!
Then he built our playground, the pavilion for our morning meeting and various activities on Mondays, renovated our football field, basketball court, classrooms, and blessed new teachers. And the new cafeteria and its meals that most of our boarding students are most concerned about!
But for most of us at that time, the greatest benefit he received was the basic indicators he gave to each of us in Yizhong - reading, learning, cultivating people, and high talent! Therefore, at that time, he not only asked us to study and study hard, but most importantly, he asked us to cultivate our moral character!
He also often used the time of our morning meetings to dedicate ourselves to weighing the significance of why we must cultivate our moral character! He also gave us many examples of moral cultivation and its ultimate cause and effect.
Finally, he will often take time out of his free time to come to our teaching building and take advantage of our classes to conduct substantive inspections of us.
As a result, under his basic indicators and regular personal supervision, most of us were forced to learn a lot of morality and etiquette in the world!
And I personally benefited a lot from it at that time!
7. Cube
In the past, because of my grandfather's various problems, my family had a big deficit in the money expenditure book. Even my sister and I used all the money we used to go to school were paid for from the ledger where my family was going to build a new house.
So in the second semester of my sophomore year of high school, my father decided to use the money from our family to build a new house to simply use it for business, snowballing. But he didn't succeed at that time, and he also owed a huge amount of money to our local Agricultural Bank credit union.
Thanks to the unique natural conditions, the stable income of our village comes from the fact that each of our families grows locust flowers and bees on the hill southeast of the village. Wait for the bees to give birth to honey and go to collect the honey to trade.
The second is that we build sturdy and stylish little wooden houses in the forest to raise queen bees, wait for them to produce honey, and go to collect royal jelly to trade. and breeding high-protein bee pupae and collecting them for trading.
The unstable income is that in addition to growing precious rice in the fields, we will also grow cash crops according to the annual market.
For example, if the market for planting watermelons is good this year, we will plant watermelons; This year's cantaloupe market is good, we will go to plant cantaloupe melon; This year's pumpkin market is good, so we will go to plant pumpkins. and other cash crops such as bell peppers, chili peppers, and popular medicinal herbs.
But what we don't know is that the final cash crops are planted and mature, what will be the price after they are harvested? So sometimes we can work for nothing, and sometimes we can earn some back.
At that time, my father wanted to take out all the money that my family was going to build a new house to do the fungus business with his classmates from junior high school and outside the family.
The reason is that my father's classmate came to him a month ago and explained to him that the mushroom business is now very prosperous and promising in their hometown.
So, despite my mother's objections and the persuasion of my uncles and uncles, my father decided to use the money to go to his hometown with his classmate and classmates to invest. And also from our local Agricultural Bank of China credit union with fertile land as collateral loaned out a lot of money.
My father's friend was right. At that time, the mushroom business was really booming in their local area, and the development situation was also very impressive. But the problem was that the uncle came to my father in the second year of the boom.
So my father and the uncle did it without knowing that the market was going to be super saturated, and in the end, they naturally lost money.
The outcome would have been disastrous for me and my family. In the years that followed, our family had a good ...... It's very desolate......
In order to pay off the loan, our family always had a long daily coarse meal......
At that time, most of our food sources were the fish raised in our vegetable garden and lotus pond. The little fish need to be given a growth cycle, so my family and I mostly live on our own vegetable garden and proper supplies from my aunt's and aunt's house until we wait for them to grow up.
But sometimes my family is short of food, and my aunt and her family happen to be out to work, so sometimes my family and I will eat honey soaked rice, millet porridge and tofu to survive. As a result, when I went to bed at night, I was starved many times and had temporary insomnia.
But what made it most difficult for me to accept was the discord and quarrels between my parents at that time......
There would be quarrels in the morning, at noon, at night when we sleep, and even when we were eating......
At that time, I often recall that before these changes, our family lived happily and orderly together.
But after all these events, I knew that we could never go back.
Especially after two months in debt, most of the families in our village have started to hire someone to start building beautiful modern houses. So after the whole year of my senior year of high school, words became even rarer.
My classmates often bloom in spring, but I often have cold winters......
But I am very happy in my heart, and I congratulate it from the bottom of my heart. Because I know that this is a great blessing for me! This blessing will help me to quickly increase my wisdom, so that I can live the auspicious and happy life that I am looking for as soon as possible!
Naturally, I also have a valuable qualification for delayed enjoyment. It is now that I am improving myself in an all-round and focused way. In time, I will be able to seize the opportunity to use the wisdom I have learned through the causes to earn a huge amount of wealth. In order to be able to realize the wealth freedom value in your heart as soon as possible, you can naturally make all kinds of good friends you like, and you can come and go freely and gracefully.
Looking back, I just thought I could find a way to help my parents pay off that huge amount of money! And I think only in this way can our family gradually return to the original and respect each other.
So I began to think deeply and carefully - how can I have and control money?!
And after establishing myself in this basic position, I officially set out for it!!
8. Causes
First of all, I gave up on my studies β what I knew in textbooks. Then I turned to a subtle, deep focus on the wealthy.
I selectively follow their words and deeds, learn from them and emulate their entrepreneurial spirit! I learned all kinds of information that would help me.
When I came back from the weekend vacation, I went to our Longmen Bookstore in Qingyun County alone to find out the prices of the books I wanted to buy, and made a list of them.
In the end, I sealed up all my pocket money, except for the money I spent to buy fruit to honor my grandmother.
One Sunday when we were back to school, my parents and I told my parents that I was going to buy some "study materials", and my mom gave me an extra amount of money.
With the precious start-up capital, I made a purposeful trip to Longmen Bookstore to buy some of the books on the listβmostly sage books and books on various business cases.
With these rare and valuable books, I officially started to use the hidden dragon!
And I also applied the "formulas" I learned from those books to reality, and continued to "test"!
When I began to "talk" with our sages in a devout manner, I often felt guilty when I looked back on my past actions.
But I will also make corrections to this and reasonably pursue the perfection of all parties!
9. Rotation
After I made a fateful choice in my third year of high school, I was naturally admitted to Zenan Industrial and Commercial College in our province and city, and studied a junior college majoring in social sports.
The main purpose of choosing a major in social sports is to strengthen the reasonable exercise of the body. Second, after I choose this major, I will have a lot of precious free time to sit on the stool in the school library and read happily on the shelves of all kinds of dazzling books containing great wisdom!
And my mentality when I took the college entrance examination was - no matter how well I did in the exam, as long as I could enter a university casually, there was a library in the university!
In fact, fundamentally, I didn't want to study "books" in my third year of high school, because most of the things I really wanted to learn could not be taught by the school.
Especially when I finished reading "Plain Book", I was very deeply aware of this!
It wasn't until I was in college, compared to the time spent reading the books of the sages and sages in the whole year of my senior year of high school, waiting for me to be admitted to the university, I could naturally get more release! And this is the most fundamental reason why I still want to go to university at that time.
Personally, what I really want to learn has always been the excellent traditional culture and great wisdom of our Chinese nation! And apply what you've learned!
As for the professional knowledge in the books, I basically have no difficulty. Because most of my future colleagues must have the basics.
After I finished the college entrance examination, I knew very well that I would not be able to get into an undergraduate college. So I thought that if I was bored at home during the summer vacation, I might as well go to work for the summer vacation. Not only does this save me from consuming time, but it also allows me to make some money. And the most important thing is that I can take the opportunity to jump out of the school as early as possible to understand our real social situation.
At that time, my sister and my eldest cousin were working in our Qingyun County, so the next day after my grandmother helped me pack my luggage, I set off to find my sister and them!
Hua Ling: "......"
Li Kailong - wiping tears.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After finding my sisters and them at noon, we had a meal together, and finally I was accommodated on the couch.
The next morning, my sister took a day off to help me find a job.
At that time, I was very confident! Because I thought - with my talents, no matter where I am placed, I can do it completely! But as a result, I naturally hit a serious wall!
At that time, my sister led me all over the county - sales in optical stores, sales in mobile phone stores, salespeople in Darling supermarkets, apprentices in hardware stores, front desks in hotels, waiters in restaurants, cashiers in Internet cafes, milk tea shops, etc. And many of them were rejected normally because my conditions and intentions did not match.
Finally, in the evening, after my sister and I had a good meal outside, we went to the Yuntian Internet CafΓ© to find the proprietress and interview her in person, so I had my first official job!
On the first day of work, the boss's daughter Wang Jingwen - the current Internet celebrity with tens of millions of talents! She came to guide me in my work.
And by coincidence, she was my classmate in the same grade as me in the downstairs classroom below our classroom! So the two of us met and greeted each other for a while and started working.
Although the process was simple and relatively handy for me, I regretted it that afternoon.
Because after that, I slowly realized that my precious time was bought so quietly and legally! So on the first day of work, I couldn't resist it!
I don't want to do it, because then I might as well help my parents at home with beekeeping, growing cash crops, and thus working happily as I want!
However, I really couldn't stand the enthusiastic teaching of Wang Jingwen at that time, so I still made up my mind to leave immediately after a month!
After making up my mind, every day I went to work from now on, my heart was mostly full of pain......
But I'm still very grateful to Wang Jingwen's mother for providing me with the job! Because I know that once the purgatory days are over, the settlement will be the very valuable real-life experience card that I got before most of my peers!
A month later, Wang Jingwen's mother settled my salary on time, so I used the money to invite Wang Jingwen to a meal.
In the restaurant, Wang Jingwen and I clearly explained: "I won't do it next month." β
I told her at the time, "I want to be financially free so that I can live in a Chinese villa and drive a fancy sports car." But the work I am doing now is not able to fulfill my wishes! So next I will go to the university and study on my own in the university library, read more books of sages that are helpful to me, and various new business cases, from which I will write my future direction and positioning! β
After I got home, in addition to helping my parents with work, I spent most of my time with my friends on daily trips, fishing, fishing, happy picnics, drawing, writing, and studying wisdom classics in my yard.
10. Elf's message
After I went to college, my grandmother missed my grandfather and me too much, and her health deteriorated day by day.
I was worried about my grandmother, so I called my grandmother every three days. But most of the time, my grandmother called me first to ask for warmth.
So during my college years, I was quieter and more lonely than other classmates!!
Because I just wanted to make a lot of money to help my parents pay off their debts. That way they won't quarrel over money.
And when I have money, I can take my grandmother to a big hospital for treatment!
One day, when I was sleeping in my dormitory at noon, I suddenly dreamed that my grandmother used to help me cover the quilt while I was sleeping, and make us purple glutinous rice barbecue rice and pack it for school when we went to school on Sundays in elementary, junior high and high school. So when I woke up from my dream, I suddenly burst into tears.
When we came home from winter break, I saw my grandmother, who was already much thinner......
She was so happy to see me!
Hua Ling: "......"
Li Kailong - wiping tears.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Because my parents were always arguing about debts, and my sister was struggling about work. So at home, I care about her, and she always depends on me.
In the early morning when I left home for school, my grandmother made me a simple vajra ring and gave me 200 yuan, and told me to study hard and become famous in the future.
I didn't ask for it, so she sneaked it into my bag. She told me when I got back to school and told her that I was safe.
Two weeks later, my mom called me and said, "Your grandmother is sick and hospitalized. And when I heard it, I suddenly shuddered in the depths of my heart.
So I asked my mom, "How's it going?!" "My mom explained to me, 'The situation is 'under control'......"
Two months later, my mom called me again to report that my grandmother was very sick and hospitalized! So at that time, I called them every day.
After my grandmother woke up, I called her every morning, noon and evening to encourage her.
After a while, my mom came home, and my mom told me on the phone that my grandmother was "better......
At about 6 o'clock in the morning on May 2nd, my grandmother passed away......
At that time, I was very nervous when I woke up in the morning, so I called my grandmother, but no one answered. So I called my family again, but no one could answer my call. So I was very angry and kept fighting.
When I called my uncle again, he answered, but I heard a lot of loud voices and cries around him.
My uncle didn't speak, he just hung up a few dozen seconds after the phone was connected. So I understood most of it.
I was curled up in bed, and I couldn't stop crying.
I immediately came up with the corresponding strategy - to make money as soon as possible! When it comes to the New Year's holidays, I offer the best cigarettes, wine, and food to my grandparents and my ancestors.
In the end, I remembered a lot of things from a long time ago β when we were all together, before my grandfather had an accident, before the family was in debt, it was a very picturesque scene......
When my grandmother took us to the mountains to pick mushrooms, she worked hard with us in the fields after my grandfather died......
And what saddened me the most was that she did so much for me - to accept most of my little tempers and to nurture me! I have received a lot of love and kindness, and I have nothing to reciprocate......
After a period of negativity, I realized that something had happened, and no matter how sad I was, it would not help after all. So, I was determined to set a target for myself - to make money! When I make money, I can solve too many problems that I left behind.
First of all, it helped my parents solve the debt problem first. Finally, I built a beautiful big house and moved my grandparents and my family into it. Every day, I do my best to worship their two elders and my ancestors!!
At the same time, I also want to do my best to set up a charity foundation in my grandmother's name. Naturally, it will be the ancestors of Shangrong and the family of Xiayin!
