Chapter Fifty-Six: Apprenticeship [Asking for Recommendation Votes!]
It is like a train without a terminal station, passing through countless stations and countless people, seeing mountains and water, and floating by. This is the life of a monk.
I clasped the car door with both hands and refused to get down, but my parents broke my hands open and carried me out of the car. I kept struggling. Teacher Lin also approached the window, covering his mouth with his hand, tears streaming non-stop. The car started, but I didn't struggle, and watched the car drift away with empty eyes. I could still see Mr. Lin walking to the back row, waving at me through the glass.
"Yangyang, Mr. Lin will come back in the future. Don't be sad. Mom stroked my head in distress.
I didn't speak, and I didn't cry anymore. Teacher Lin said that he should be a man who does not cry in a woman's arms, and he will be able to marry Teacher Lin as his aunt when he grows up in the future.
My parents transferred all the money I earned this year to buy a house in Guangdong, and they didn't plan to take me there, and I didn't think about it. I have an inexplicable fear of that strange and distant city. Maybe I still have a glimmer of hope for Mr. Lin.
Mom and Dad left after the double robbery (double robbery: early rice harvesting, late rice transplanting) at home, and I also seemed to have found the familiar feeling I had before. Blood is thicker than water, and I can feel my mother's love. But when they left, I wasn't as sad as I was on the day Mr. Lin left.
Mom and Dad brought a lot of things over, and Lao Huang carried them all on his back, and my grandfather and I sent Mom and Dad to the station. Originally, my grandfather was worried that I would be sad. But I was calm.
"You stupid boy. Why don't you go to Guangdong with your parents? It's a big city, and we're in the countryside, and if you go there, you'll be a hundred times happier than at home. If you want to go, I'm sure your mom and dad will take you there. "My grandfather took my hand and went to a noodle restaurant, one old and one young, and one of them asked for a bowl of dried noodles.
I ate deliciously: "They are a few people crammed into one room in Guangdong, and the two of us live in the same house. The money is gone, and we'll make a little more this year. Next year we will build our own building. Even if they bought a house, they still didn't live as comfortably as we did. ”
"Huh? That's right. It seems that my grandson thinks better than adults. I have a unicorn grandson at home!" Grandpa laughed.
Grandpa was so happy that he had to carry me home. I put it on my grandfather's back and said, "Grandpa, when I grow up, buy a beautiful little car and drive you everywhere." ”
"Okay, we have ambitions. Grandpa waited for Yangyang to drive me up. Hahaha. ”
One old and one young, laughing constantly along the way. I have forgotten the sadness brought to me by Mr. Lin's departure, and I have forgotten the sadness of my parents' estrangement from me.
A few miles away from home, Hongqiu saw us from afar. It hovered above us, chirping a few times, and I could hear its joy in its voice. I'm a little envious of it, it can fly freely in the sky. And I have to go through the sorrow of parting.
Hongqiu's wife and children also came, and Hongxing landed even more mischievously, fell to the ground, and learned from me and my grandfather, swaying walking. Of course it doesn't fall on my shoulder, its claws are too sharp, and that would hurt me.
When he was able to see the village, Black Bean greeted him with his harem.
"If you don't take care of the house at home, what are you doing here?" Although I scolded the black bean like this, I was very happy in my heart. Stroke the blackhead's head vigorously with his hand. Black Bean also wiggled her body, wagged her tail, and rubbed her head against my legs with a chirp.
"Yangyang, if this continues, our family will become an animal world. Grandpa laughed.
In fact, there are three flowers at home, big flowers, two flowers and small flowers, which are actually very humane. No less intelligent than black beans. It's just that these three sisters are a little lazy, and they usually don't go out of the door, and they like to lie in the circle and sleep in the circle during the day.
Lao Huang is the most hard-working, he goes to the street with us early in the morning, and when he is hungry, he will moo at me. I took the bamboo basket off its back and fed it the grass inside. By this time, the grass had already been eaten by him. I went to the field and got a big bundle of sweet potato vines. This is his favorite, gulping down the sweet potato vines in his mouth and crunching on them. It sounds delicious.
Before I walked into the yard, I saw Li Lijuan standing outside our yard with her grandparents. Black Bean was already standing guard at the door with his three child daughters-in-law.
As soon as she saw me, Li Lijuan was still a little shy, hiding behind her grandmother Han Xianfeng and didn't dare to come out. Li Lijuan's grandfather, Li Fangben, walked up.
"Second brother. I'm back from the streets. Although the two families have different surnames, they are also called in the village. Li Fang originally followed the Huang family's peers to call his grandfather.
"Oh, it's Fang Ben. It's the two of you who are here. Come in and sit, come in and sit. Grandpa hurriedly and enthusiastically invited Li Lijuan's grandparents and Li Lijuan into the house.
Li Fangben lifted the basket on the ground, and the basket contained a basket of eggs.
"Who are you?" Grandpa thought they had come to see a doctor. I know that their family is in difficulty, and I want to find an opportunity to tell me not to take money from their family.
"That's what happened. Li Fangben told the original meaning.
It turned out that Li Lijuan didn't do well in the exam, and she kept crying when she returned home. When I asked, I found out that my two apprentices had squeezed her from the second place to the fourth place. In fact, Huang Shulang and Ma Jindong were lucky, and the difference in scores was not big. But Li Lijuan couldn't accept it. The family is so difficult, and her academic performance is the only thing Li Lijuan can handle. Now that even her academic performance has been surpassed by others, how can she accept it. She naturally knew that whether it was Huang Shulang or Ma Jindong, their academic performance surpassed the sky after they apprenticed to me. So, she immediately made up her mind.
After Li Fangben and Han Xianfeng knew about the situation, the two of them discussed it and came over with a basket of eggs.
Grandpa listened to Li Fangben's words, and he also smiled bitterly in his heart. Everyone else treats me as a treasure, but my parents treat me as grass.
"Children have been family, and they can't be taken seriously. In the future, let Yangyang take a good belt of Juanzi. Since it's a child's house, you can't take it seriously, and you take the eggs back. Grandpa laughed.
"That's not going to work. The apprentice should also be polite. Our Li family is also a reasonable family. We can't let others say that our Li family is not polite. Li Fangben insisted on offering a bow.
I talked to Li Lijuan in the courtyard: "Li Lijuan, if you worship me as a master, you will be called Senior Brother Huang Shulang in the future." Are you afraid that Huang Shulang and Ma Jindong will bully you?"
"Don't be afraid. They didn't dare to bully me. Li Lijuan seemed to be quite sure when she said it.
"Why?" I wondered.
"Because I'm a girl. My grandmother said that I grew up to be as beautiful as Teacher Lin. In the future, if I am as beautiful as Mr. Lin, I can marry you as an aunt. Li Lijuan said seriously.
I scratched my head and shook my head: "When I grow up in the future, I want to marry Teacher Lin as my mother-in-law." Even if you are as beautiful as Teacher Lin when you grow up, you are not Teacher Lin. ”
Two young children, talking about life events, are always a little out of bounds.
Grandpa also had a good conversation with Li Fangben. Although my grandfather agreed to accept the basket of apprenticeship eggs, he asked Mr. and Mrs. Li Fangben to accept my free treatment. Li Fangben and his wife are actually not very old, younger than their grandfather's. They are only in their early fifties, but they are frail and sickly, and they look older.
Grandpa asked me to treat Li Fangben and his family, and he went to prepare meals, and then went to the yard to get two catties of rice wine. It's an apprenticeship feast.
But what my grandfather and I didn't expect happened, and the next day, many people from the village came to my house, all for the same purpose.
Huang Shulang, a guy who ranked first in the exam, suddenly became a top student. Ma Jindong also had very average grades, and he suddenly became the top of the class. Such a thing has long been spread in the village. Originally, if Li Lijuan's family hadn't taken the lead, others might not have come to the house. Now everyone is running home. What's more, those who are in the third or fourth grade still want their children to be relegated to the second grade.
Grandpa didn't know what to do, so he simply put the decision on me: "You can do it yourself." ”
Grandpa has a headache, so take it all, worried that my studies will be affected in the future. If you don't accept it, this is to offend the whole village.
