Chapter 42 Jungle Adventure (Liu Mingyang Part [-])

Many years ago, Liu Mingyang's dream was to herd sheep and marry a wife.

Their ancestors have come here for generations. For him, if he can raise the sheep well, make them fat and strong, and sell them for a good price, he can marry a wife, have a few sons, and live a good life with plenty of food and clothing. .

In the 90s, the spring breeze of reform and opening up came to this small mountain village, and the first school was built in the village.

The village chief was smoking a cigarette, watching the old man in the village dip a brush into his saliva, and write crookedly on the plaque.

"Xiangyang Village is small."

He took a puff of the big cigarette, bared his big yellow teeth and said to the villagers.

"Hey, what's the use of learning from these stinking old nines? Our country wasn't built by us uneducated people."

The village head was a soldier before and participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

He had shed blood and fought his life in the war. After retiring from the army, he rejected the army's generous conditions and went home to support his mother.

He said, I have given to the party and the country for the first half of my life, and I will pay my mother for the rest of my life, haha.

The village does not pay much attention to education.

Children go to school for three days fishing and two days drying nets.

On the day the elementary school was built, the old Liu family at the entrance of the village had a grandson. It happened that the husband was there, so the Liu family asked him to name him.

After thinking for a while, the gentleman swiped his pen and wrote three words.

Liu Mingyang.

This name sounds good. Compared with the village dog egg Cuihua, it is more than a degree foreign, at least it sounds very tall.

The husband said, "I hope this child will remember the past of the motherland, and I also wish him to swim in the sea of ​​learning."

Father Liu asked his wife in a low voice.

"What kind of sea is Xuehai? Our baby won't be drowned."

"Shh." The daughter-in-law didn't understand, but she also stretched out her hand to abduct her own man, "Sir, let's just listen to what you say."

Father Liu slapped his wife's butt.

"It's safer to have another one tonight."

……

Liu Mingyang doesn't like school.

At least until fifth grade, whenever he saw the old gentleman with the goatee, he made faces at him and patted his skin.

"Old pedant, I went to herd the sheep, just a little bit."

The old pedant stomped his feet, and his goatee almost fell off.

But this village has always been like this. After a long time, the old man got used to it.

In the afternoon, when the students went to herd sheep, he moved a recliner and sat under the old pagoda tree in the yard, holding a pot of tea.

Take a sip and sigh.

"Idiocy, ignorance, when you are young, you don't know how to read well, and you will hate the book when it is time to use it."

No one could understand his words, and no one could understand him.

It's just that some people passing by occasionally saw it and jokingly said a long sentence.

"Old pedant, you are going to rest again this afternoon."

There was some disdain in the words.

People in the mountains admire hard work, and laziness is the worst thing they can see.

……

When Liu Mingyang was in sixth grade, a film crew came to their small village.

It is said that a documentary will be made, and a child from the village will be selected to stay in the city for ten days, and a child from the city will be sent here to experience rural life for ten days.

Everyone in the village felt that these city people were really idle and panicked, and they really knew how to play.

But at the same time, everyone hopes to be selected. The reason is very simple. The selected families can get a considerable amount of income, which is almost equivalent to the total income of their family for two or three years.

When Liu Mingyang's old mother heard about this, her eyes lit up. She sighed and said, "Mother, these city people really burn money. It would be great if they chose my family."
