Jingteng Fanghua

Chapter 11
Liu Hua was lying on the bed with a smile on the corner of his mouth in the darkness.

It may be that the news brought back by my uncle made him too excited, he suffered from insomnia, and the pain in his head seemed to be negligible.

The scene when the head teacher mobilized them before the high school entrance examination came to his mind.

At that time, the class teacher talked about the excitement, stepped off the podium, and said to them in a circle in the classroom: "In the contemporary history of our country, 1977 will definitely be recorded in the annals of history, and it will be written in a thick stroke!
Millions of young people flocked to the examination room like crucian carp crossing the river, including workers, farmers, educated youth who went to the mountains and countryside, demobilized soldiers, cadres and fresh graduates.

Students, do you know?These university graduates are uniformly allocated by the state after graduation, and they will all take important jobs and contribute to the realization of the four modernizations.

Classmates, you are really a very lucky generation. The spring of knowledge has come. Teachers will never be able to enter university in this lifetime. They have only taught Chinese for so many years, and they have completely forgotten about mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Classmates, if you want to get out of this poor mountain valley and see the world, you have to study hard, make progress every day, learn skills well, and come back to build your own hometown!
Students, it’s time for the final sprint. Everyone must make full use of their spare time. Except for exercises every morning and between classes, physical education and music classes will be suspended. The main subject teacher will give you the key points of each subject to give you questions for practice. It's not easy to grind your guns in front of the battle.

The senior high school entrance examination is an important opportunity to change everyone's destiny. The teacher does not require you to "hang your head over the beam and pierce your buttocks", but it is still necessary to burn the lights and fight at night.

Everyone must be prepared to lose meat, and you must treat the examination room as a battlefield, because there will be the starting point for you to change your life! "

What the Chinese teacher said made Liu Hua excited for many days, and he was looking forward to the early arrival of the recruitment every day.

Today he finally got his wish.He was admitted to the county No. [-] middle school, so he could leave Dayu Village with his own efforts, without making his grandfather and grandmother suffer.And after graduating from university, he will take his grandfather and grandmother out and honor them well.

At dawn, Liu Huacai fell asleep with a happy longing and a happy smile.

After this heart-wrenching scuffle, the Chen Baoping family finally calmed down.

Although living in a courtyard, it is inevitable to look down and not to see up, but it looks like a passerby.Everyone lives in their own way, and they live in peace with each other, and the well water does not violate the river water.

Finally, school was about to start, and Liu Hua received letters from his parents for the first time, saying that he could just bring a change of clothes, and that tuition fees and other daily necessities had been prepared for him.

On the day Liu Hua left, the whole family took him to the bus station in Huaishu Town. Even Tian Fengmei, Chen Tianming, and Chen Lingrong came, probably because Chen Baoping forced him to come.

Chen Baoping also wanted to take this opportunity to untie the knots of the whole family. After all, it is a family, broken bones are still connected, right?
Grandma was crying, and Xiaoxian wiped away her tears. Even Chen Baohong's eye circles were red, and finally Liu Hua's tears were drawn out.

Grandpa scolded everyone, saying that Xiao Fu's going to school is a great joy, and no one is allowed to cry anymore.

In this way, Liu Hua boarded the bus bound for Yuanshui County amidst the reluctant farewell of his relatives.

Because Liu Hua wrote a letter to his parents in advance, as soon as the car pulled into the station, he immediately saw his parents leading his younger brother Liu Yang to pick him up at the station.

Seeing the three of them standing close together, Liu Hua's nose suddenly became sore.He quickly sniffed his nose to calm himself down, then pretended to be happy and got out of the car with his luggage on his back.

His parents and younger brother received him warmly and were very polite to him, which made Liu Hua feel like an outsider.

Because every year my parents bring my younger brother Liu Yang home, Liu Hua and Liu Yang are considered familiar, but they don't have a deep relationship.

Liu Hua doesn't dislike this younger brother, but to some extent, he likes him very much.And every time we meet, Liu Yang is also very affectionate towards him as an older brother, never seeing outsiders.

This was the first time Liu Hua went home in his memory, and it was basically the same as what Liu Yang described when he returned to Dayu Village during the Chinese New Year.

This is a cave-style bungalow with only front windows, and the roof is cast-in-place. It is a house allocated by my father's unit.

When Liu Yang proudly told Liu Hua that they lived in a cast-in-place house, Liu Hua was at a loss.

He asked Liu Yang what a cast-in-place house was, but Liu Yang couldn't explain clearly. Later, his father Liu Yuanqing explained to him what a cast-in-place house was.

It turns out that during the Tangshan earthquake, Yuanshui County was also shaken. When various units in the county built family houses, they built the first batch of such cave dwellings as models of the air-raid shelters built during the "digging holes deep and accumulating grain widely". Cast-in-situ room.

However, Liu Yuanqing got a 1977-square-meter cast-in-place house because he voluntarily requested to go to the Zhengguo Commune in Xiangcheng County, Zhoukou District, which was hit by floods for one year in 25.

Liu Yuanqing was originally an office director of the urban party office in Yuanshui County. After returning from the disaster relief, he was promoted to the deputy secretary of the town. The appointment document was issued just two days ago.

Liu Yuanqing just took office yesterday, so Chen Shuping hadn't had time to write to her parents.

It turned out that Chen Shuping, who had been doing odd jobs everywhere, because of her husband's promotion, the director of the urban welfare factory came to ask Chen Shuping to be the canteen manager of the welfare factory in person, and the collective labor quota.

Chen Shuping was very excited about this, and Liu Hua was also happy for her mother.

On the first day of school, Liu Hua was very excited.

Yuanshui County No. [-] Middle School is really big and beautiful. Although it is also a Taoist reform school, the whole ancient building is magnificent, especially the school name that is inscribed by a famous literary and historical master on the top of the school gate - "Yuan Shui County No. [-] Middle School", which made his eyes even redder.

There was a person holding a camera and yelling at the door, "Students, there is a special price for taking pictures on site, two [-]-inch photos for one yuan!"

Many parents who sent their students off rushed forward, trying to take photos with their children.

Liu Hua looked a little hot-eyed, and he also wanted to take a photo and send it to his grandfather and grandmother, so that they could see where he was studying.

Seeing Liu Hua's eager eyes staring at the people taking pictures, Chen Shuping guessed what he was thinking, and pulled him and Liu Yang to stand in front of the gate of No. [-] Middle School, leaving the first precious photo in Liu Hua's life. photo.

When Liu Hua got the photo, he immediately wrote a long letter to his grandparents, and sent his own photo with the letter.
