In the early morning, a light rain was falling, and the sky was a little overcast.

The children in Yangjiazhuang have already gotten up and are ready to go to morning self-study.

After a few children came out of the house, they gathered a bunch of people after a while.

walked up to the little friend's house who hadn't gotten up yet, and shouted inside:

"Unity, get up and go to school!"

Yang Tuanjie heard the shouts of his classmates, turned over and looked at the window, and found that the sky was a little wrong.

"Why is it so dark?"

"It's raining, hurry up! Otherwise, you'll be late! ”

"Oh, good!"

Hearing his friend's explanation, Yang Tuanjie immediately got up from the kang, put on his trousers, put on his short sleeves, and found a fertilizer bag from the house, recessed a corner into it, and made a triangular hat and put it on his head.

Opening the door of the hall and looking at the drizzling rain, he thought about taking off his cloth shoes and throwing them at home, so he walked out of the hall barefoot.

Walking towards the village with a group of friends.

When I arrived at the classroom, many students had already arrived.

There are very few subjects in the village elementary school, only two subjects, Chinese and mathematics, and most of the daily morning self-study is also given to Chinese classes.

Yang Liuzhi is the principal and Chinese teacher of the school, and he usually takes students to self-study in the morning, and only when they arrive at the main class will other teachers come to class.

Most of the students in self-study are mainly memorized ancient poems and vowels.

Yang Liuzhi looked at the stagnant water on the ground and sighed: "This year's crops are just planted, and this rain will save a lot of trouble!" ”

When Yang Chunsheng woke up at night, he heard lightning and thunder, and the torrential rain was like a note, and it was not until this morning that the rain subsided.

As soon as it was dawn, he ran to the field to check on the lodging of corn.

His family's six acres of land were planted a little early, and after a month of growth, the corn reached the height of his thigh, and after the ravages of the storm, the corn was likely to fall into a large patch!

Thinking of this situation, Yang Chunsheng hurriedly ran to the field to check the situation, for fear that the corn would fall too much!

After a morning of wandering in the field, the clothes on my body were already soaked.

When she got home, Wang Zhaodi hurriedly found a towel to wipe her husband's body and brought a bowl of ginger tea.

"Come and drink a bowl of tea to ward off the cold!"

Yang Chunsheng didn't speak, took the bowl and drank it all.

Seeing this, Wang Zhaodi asked again:

"How's it going in the ground? How much does it pour? ”

"I poured a large piece, but fortunately, there were not many breaks!"

"That's okay, I'll see if I want to help when the weather clears! If it's broken, make up the seedlings again! ”

"Wait for the rain to light up before spreading fertilizer! Such a great opportunity cannot be missed!

Xiao Wu said that planting beans is not bad, saying that planting beans is equivalent to urea, but I didn't expect this corn to grow very fast, but unfortunately a heavy rain fell most of it! ”

"It's okay, anyway, I haven't tasseled yet, and I'll grow it slowly, as long as it's not broken, it's not a big problem!"

"It's better to be literate!"

"yes!"

The husband and wife said a few words, and then fell silent.

The family looked at the rain outside the window in a daze, and after a long time, Wang Zhaodi asked again:

"Hey, Xiao Wu has been going to school for a week, right?"

"Yes, it's been ten days, I sent him with Dong on May 15, and it's May 25 today!"

"So, there are only twelve days left before the exam, and the day of the college entrance examination is the ninth day of June?"

"Yes!"

"Then should we prepare a watch for Xiao Wu, so that we can grasp the time during the exam.

I heard him say that one day to take three exams, the time will be much earlier, and it will be much more convenient to have a table!

This is a major event in Xiao Wu's life! We can't save it! ”

Yang Chunsheng was silent when he heard this, silently picked up the pipe from the table, and Yang Xiaolan on the side took a match to help his father light a cigarette.

Yang Chunsheng lit his pipe, took two puffs, and then said:

"Hey! It's not that I don't want to, our family has the money now, but there are no tickets? You also know that not only does it take money to buy a watch, but we can't find a place to buy this ticket even if we want to! ”

"What then? Just watched Xiao Wu ......"

Wang Zhaodi's eyes turned red as she spoke, and she got up and went back to the East House.

Yang Chunsheng watched his wife go back to the house, sitting alone at the door, smoking a cigarette, looking at the rain outside the door in a daze, the burden of life had already bent his shoulders.

For a moment, the family fell silent again.

Seeing this situation, Yang Xiaolan hurriedly pulled her little sister back to the West House!

When Yang Xingwen saw his parents like this, his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

This society is too harsh on the peasants.

Although it is said that coarse grains have been cancelled, farmers can buy coarse grains to survive when they are not harvested.

But the rest of the time they are like weeds growing in the ground, growing or falling with the wind, and only appear when the rations are paid.

Once the public food is not enough and the retention money is in arrears, even the children who go to school will be taken back.

If it weren't for the high school students in the family, they wouldn't have wanted to pay these retention payments a long time ago, and they would have been in a home!

Now that the family finally has some surplus wealth, they have to face the problem of insufficient tickets, their family is a farmer, where can they go to get these tickets?

At this moment, Yang Xingwen extremely hoped that his younger brother could be admitted to college, so that their family could be regarded as a backer, and they would not have to grovel so much, and they could stand up and speak.

Faced with the difficulty of paying public grain, he shouted that there are college students in my family, and it is estimated that there is no need to queue up the team, and the grain grade will not be downgraded at will.

Yang Xingwen thought of this, and his heart couldn't help but become hot.

Suddenly, he had an idea, and he thought of something.

looked at his father, who was sitting at the door smoking, and hurriedly said:

"Da, Mr. Yang from the village school has a watch, why don't we borrow it for a few days?"

"Yang Liuzhi?"

"Yes, he seems to have, even if he doesn't, he is the principal and well-informed, let's go ask and let him give an idea!"

Yang Chunsheng listened to his son's words, pondered for a while, and felt that this suggestion was good, it was better than sulking at home.

Thinking of this, Yang Chunsheng stood up, shook off his right hand a few times, knocked out the ash in the pipe, and planned to go out after putting the pipe away!

"Then I'll go and ask him? No, ask about the founding of the country again? He is the village head, there should be a way! Don't delay your brother's exam! ”

"Wait! It's still early, let's go back after lunch! ”

"That's right!"

Yang Chunsheng said and turned around and went to the East House, and told his daughter-in-law what his son thought.

After Wang Zhaodi heard this, she was a lot less worried, and it was still a little early when she saw that it was dark.

immediately beckoned her daughter to cook with her.

The family had eaten, and when the rain stopped, Yang Chunsheng stayed for a while, looked at the sky and felt that the time was almost up, and then got up and went to Yang Liuzhi's house.

"Uncle Six-Fingered, is Uncle Six-Finger at home?"

Yang Liuzhi heard the shouts outside the courtyard and asked his son to greet him.

Seeing Yang Chunsheng walking in, he was a little curious.

"Chunsheng is here? What's the matter? ”
