tenth year of teaching

Chapter 138
Li Yue's application was uneventful, and his father still made the decision.

Before she handed it in, she took a casual look and saw that it was just one of the top three colleges in Yishui. You could basically go to it by paying money.

She sneered, but it was just to buy face, she really didn't know what to say.Is it really worth spending so much money just for my own face?

"If you fail the exam this year, I will send you to a cram school and take the exam again next year." The man said coldly. "You must have an undergraduate degree, not a junior college degree."

Li Yue didn't even bother to say anything, she just went into the house and closed the door.

The man clenched his fists and wanted to rush over. He didn't know what he thought of, so he gritted his teeth and forced himself to slam the door and go out.The woman walked out of the kitchen carrying the dishes, and when she saw the father and daughter parting ways unhappily, she carried the prepared meal back to the kitchen with an expressionless face, ready to wait for the man to come back before eating.

At night, the couple was lying on the bed chatting.

"Where did you put the things that grandma asked Li Yue to bring back when you went home last time?"

"Don't worry about it, you definitely can't give it to her now."

"I know, but look at how she is now, would it be okay if she knew after the college entrance examination that we kept it secret from her?" The woman hesitated.

"You know nothing. If you let her know now, won't she stop making a fuss? If you make a big fuss, run away again, and don't even take the college entrance examination, everything will be ruined!" The man was a little impatient and turned his back to her.

The woman thought about it and said to him: "It's better to be careful. How about you find a place to store the things first and don't let her find out."

"I know, go to sleep quickly." The man scolded.

The woman sighed, thinking that the more she was afraid of something, the more it would come.

Li Yue was lying on the bed, the room was dark, and her parents lived in the sunny bedroom.Across the living room and dining room is the small bedroom she lives in. Because it is on the shady side and cannot see sunlight all year round, she rarely spends time in the living room.Instead of running around in the sun every day for more than ten years, I was suddenly trapped in such a small room of more than ten square meters, where I stayed almost from morning to night except for going to school.Li Yue's complexion also changed from dark and red at first to pale and colorless.

She kept staring like this until midnight. She could vaguely hear the man's snoring. She quietly got out of bed with bare feet and walked to the living room.Sitting on the sofa and continuing to daze, her insomnia has become more and more serious recently. She hates the small and cramped room to a certain extent, so she often wanders around the house in the middle of the night after her parents fall asleep.

She sat there until the blue morning light vaguely showed outside the window, then she quietly walked to the room with bare feet.When I walked to the shoe cabinet, I saw that the cabinet door, which was usually closed tightly, seemed to be holding something in it, with a gap exposed.Somehow, she walked over and opened it.

The woman woke up at 6:00 on time. She washed her face in a daze and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.I saw the door of the shoe cabinet was wide open, and there was a black plastic bag on the ground, with the contents scattered on the ground.The woman's heart skipped a beat and she quickly opened her daughter's door. There was no one in the room.

The man was woken up by the woman's frantic push. After hearing the woman's anxious words, the two of them rushed out of the house and looked around.

Li Yue was sitting on the roof of her home at this time. Her family lived in a small high-rise on the 11th floor.Who knew who had forgotten the iron door leading to the rooftop on the top floor, and it had always been ajar. Li Yue had quietly come to this rooftop many times to sit and watch the sky.

She sat on the stone steps at the edge of the rooftop, the morning wind blowing her hair. In the distance were houses one after another, high and low.In the distance, there are mountains, one after another, rising and falling.She couldn't see the end, nor could she see the wheat field in her dream.

She held a silver bracelet in one hand and two pages of letter paper in the other hand. The letter paper shook in the wind and made a rustling sound.

The letter was written in grandma's rough handwriting, with pinyin written in some places.Grandma had never read a book since she was a child. Many words were taught by Li Yue after she went to school. From pinyin to Hanzi, the grandfather and grandson always learned together, arguing and fighting.

"Yueyue, grandma is getting old. She probably won't be able to survive this winter. Grandma is most worried about you. After I leave, everything grandma will leave to my precious granddaughter. The bag contains the title deed of the yard and me. Ask your youngest son who is a judge from your grandma Li's house next door to do justice. There is also a bracelet, which was left to me by your grandfather. It should be passed down from your Li family. I don't know whether it is decades or hundreds of years.

After you left, your parents said that you had a hard time studying. For more than three years, grandma has been looking forward to seeing you back home.But after waiting and waiting, I still don’t know how my precious granddaughter is doing?Your father will bring back photos of you when he comes home. My granddaughter has grown taller and become more fashionable, like a city girl.Grandma looks very happy. Don't always be angry with your dad. Your dad has a bad temper, just like your grandpa. He was beaten by your grandpa since he was a child.

This year your dad came back and said that you have to take another year of tutoring, and your foundation is not very good.Grandma regrets it very much. It would be better to send you away earlier and go to the city earlier. It should be easier to get into college.Don't blame grandma. Grandma will wait for you to come back from college and put an incense stick on my grave to tell me that you have passed the college entrance examination.

Don't blame grandma, your dad always said that he would take me to the city to see a doctor, but I didn't want to go.You people in the city are all busy, and me, an old lady from the country, is just adding to the trouble. When people get old, it’s normal to be sick or die.I just feel bad that I can't see my precious granddaughter, but grandma knows that you are doing well.

Yueyue, you must be good, you must be good. "

For a moment, Li Yue seemed to have returned to the wheat field, where the green wheat seedlings were connected one after another.A group of gray-faced children were running among the ridges. The winter wind blew through their red and somewhat chapped faces.There will always be calls from the fields: "Yueyue——, come home for dinner."

"Hey, grandma, I'll be right back."

The girl stood at the end of the field and responded loudly, and then a group of children laughed and flew back like sparrows, entered the village, and scattered into various houses.

On the hot kang, the grandfather and grandson were eating noodles with smiles, and little Liyue was sucking the long noodles with a sauce on her lips.The grandma looked at her precious granddaughter with a smile. Hot water was still boiling in the large pot outside, and the charcoal fire that had not been extinguished in the stove was still crackling.White steam spread out and drifted into the room.

After dinner, the grandfather and grandson lay on the kang and told stories. Grandma always had endless stories to tell.In a daze, her back felt itchy due to the heat of the kang head, and she would always act coquettishly and let her grandma scratch her.

Grandma's rough hands rubbed up and down her back, and little Liyue fell asleep comfortably.That is home, the home that Li Yue has always wanted to go back to, and the place where her grandma is is where she wants to stay. But now that her grandma is gone, where is her home?
Two lines of tears streaked across his face, gradually drying up in the breeze, leaving only two shallow traces.

Li Yue stood up slowly and walked to the top. She swayed, and her grandma seemed to be waving in the distance.Li Yue said: "Grandma, I'm here."

The wind blew across my face violently, and the world went dark.
