In the ordinary world, I am the son-in-law of the Sun family

Chapter 506 Difficult Path
The next morning, the cold wind raged, but there was no snow. The students stood shivering on the playground and held a commendation meeting.

Standing on the rostrum, Wang Manyin said loudly to the microphone wrapped in red cloth: "In the first grade, Jiang Dahai won the first place. At the same time, Jiang Dahai also won the first place in the original west county."

"According to the school's regulations, Jiang Dahai will be rewarded with [-] yuan in cash, two pieces of bacon, and five handfuls of vermicelli as encouragement."

Amid the vigorous applause of the crowd, Dahai stepped onto the rostrum and received the certificates and awards with a heartfelt smile on his face.

"In the first grade of junior high school, the second place is the second grade of junior high school"

"In the third grade of junior high school, Huang Qiusheng won the first place in the grade, and Huang Qiusheng was also the first in the county."

"Because Huang Qiusheng won the first place in the county for four consecutive semesters, the school decided to add additional rewards, [-] yuan in cash, two catties of meat coupons, thirty catties of coarse grain coupons, ten handfuls of vermicelli, and three strips of bacon!"

As Wang Manyin's angry voice came out, the whole school was in an uproar. This reward was not insignificant.

Huang Qiusheng's eyes widened suddenly, he didn't expect that the rewards would be so rich, he came to the rostrum with ease, took the rewards, and held up his award certificate high.

"In the third grade of junior high school, Guan Xiaoting won the second place in the grade and also the second place in the original west county. Since Guan Xiaoting won the second place in the county for two consecutive semesters, the school decided to give additional rewards."

"Specially reward Guan Xiaoting with [-] yuan in cash, [-] catties of coarse grain coupons, ten handfuls of vermicelli, and three strips of bacon."

Compared with Huang Qiusheng, Guan Xiaoting not only lost five yuan, but also lost two catties of meat tickets, but the students still envied her.

But to everyone's surprise, no one went to the rostrum to accept the award.

Wang Manyin explained into the microphone: "Because Guan Xiaoting did not return to school in time for some reason, the teacher will help her keep the reward."

"Later, we will find time to deliver Guan Xiaoting to her home."

As soon as this remark came out, the students immediately gained praise, praising the school for being very responsible to the students.

The commendation meeting continued, and after the envious awards were over, the school also experienced a hemorrhage, throwing out hundreds of awards, not to mention the real bacon.

The bulk of the rewards fell on Hai Hai, Guan Xiaoting, and Huang Qiusheng.

Adding up the three of them, there is a full reward of seventy-five yuan!
As for the other students, their grades are not as outstanding as theirs, so naturally they don't get so many rewards.

At the end of the commendation meeting, Wang Manyin returned to his office with Guan Xiaoting's award.

"Bang bang bang" the wooden door was knocked.

"Come in."

Dahai walked in and took out the reward he had just received, "Godfather, here it is."

Wang Manyin looked at him leisurely, "Why do you give me the reward that the school gave you?"

Dahai said honestly, "I can't use so much money."

Wang Manyin didn't answer, "Your own reward, keep it yourself, even if you don't use it, it's better to keep it as a souvenir."

Dahai didn't insist anymore, he knew that his godfather would not accept his money.

But he really didn't need much money. Counting the twenty yuan, his total net worth was close to one hundred yuan.

The money extorted from the Liu family was basically useless. Usually, Wang Manyin and Lanhua would give him pocket money. Not only that, but Shaoan and Sun Yuhou would occasionally give him a dime or two.

Especially during Chinese New Year and holidays, the adults gave him fifty cents.

Accumulated, not a small amount.

Walking out of the office, Dahai pulled a helpless smile, it was useless to hold so much money, there was no chance to spend it at all.

Usually if he lacks something, he doesn't need to tell him, his godfather and godmother will buy it for him.

In such a small place as Shige Festival, there is no place to spend money, and the snacks bought by the supply and marketing cooperative are not as delicious as those at his home.

The time comes to the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the second solar term in the twenty-four solar terms, called Yushui.

The meaning of the rainy solar term is the beginning of rain, but the Loess Plateau does not seem to be affected by this solar term. Instead of rain, light snow falls.

Early in the morning, Wang Manyin packed his luggage and carried it on his back. The luggage contained Guan Xiaoting's reward, his own water glass, the dry food Lanhua prepared for him, and the machete for self-defense.

I heard that there are wolves on the mountain in Xiashan Village!

"Man Yin, you have to be careful after you go there, don't punish people who don't know the place." Lan Hua helped him put on the scarf, and whispered.

Wang Manyin nodded, pressed the felt hat down, and put on gloves, "I won't come back to eat at noon, I guess I will come back in the afternoon or evening."

"If you come back late, you can eat first, just put the rice in the hot pot for me."

Lan Hua pouted and said, "I'll have dinner with you when you come back."

Wang Manyin smiled, looked up at the falling snowflakes, and thought about whether he had missed anything. After confirming that there was nothing, he walked towards the direction of Shige Festival on foot.

The reason why he didn't ride a bicycle was because he heard that the roads in Xiashan Village were all uphill and downhill, and people would fall if they were not careful, let alone bicycles.

Coming out of Shige Festival, there is a dirt road covered with snow. He has walked this dirt road many times, and he has to pass this dirt road every time he goes to Yuanxi County.

After walking on the dirt road for about ten or twenty minutes, an unremarkable path appeared on the right side of the road.

Walking along this path, after a while, I saw a village with dense houses. From a distance, a river flowed out of this village, as if it had a tail.

This river is the Dongla River. Walking down the river, you can directly reach Shigejie Commune, Guanzi Village, and Shuangshui Village.

And this village is Shigejie Village.

Shigejie Commune is called Shigejie Commune because it was built on the boundary of Shigejie Village, but it is actually two different things from Shigejie Village.

Shigejie Village was not his destination, and he didn't even enter the village. He followed the path, bypassed Shigejie Village, and walked towards the deep mountains in the clouds.

The path was easy to walk at the beginning, but the closer you got to the mountains, the more rugged the road was, with protruding rocks, falling mud pits, and fluffy snowflakes, and you needed to be careful with every step.

Now and then uphill, now and then downhill, now and then turn right, now and then turn left, now and then turn right, completely confused his sense of direction.

It seemed that there was only one decent road, otherwise he would doubt whether he had walked it.

Occasionally, I could see some households on the road, most of which were two or three households gathered together. After inquiring, they belonged to Shigejie Village.

When I asked where the mountain village was, I got the answer that at least I had to walk on this difficult path for two hours.
