Chapter 7 7. Mountain Road
7. Mountain Road
Seeing that Zhao Xiaoling fell behind, the people in front stopped and looked behind.

Zhao Xiaoling, who was already dressed, stepped forward and ran to the front, "You may not be familiar with this road, I will lead the way."

What the three men paid attention to was the worn clothes that Zhao Xiaoling had just put on.

A little girl in her teens, just at the age of Aimi, wore such a ragged and ugly dress, but she didn't care about it, she was open and frank.

Doctor Niu said: "You are sweating profusely from the heat of walking on the mountain road, but you are still wearing a piece of clothing."

This dress is too worn out!No matter how poor she was, it was too difficult for a girl to dress like this. A girl of this age was just in love with beauty, and she was dressed so shabby in front of three men, but she didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Zhao Xiaoling explained: "My decent clothes are just the one I just wore. I was afraid that I would be cut by the branches when I was walking on the mountain road, so I put on an old one. This old clothes, even if it gets scratched, it's not a pity."

Doctor Niu nodded, "That's true. People who often walk in the mountains are like this. They wear very ragged clothes."

However, although Zhao Xiaoling's clothes are old, they are not tattered, the patches are neatly sewn, and the clothes are also clean.

Zhao Xiaoling walked in front, a small person, but walked very fast, without seeming strenuous at all, and looked relaxed, while Doctor Niu was already panting from exhaustion, his face was swollen black and red.

Doctor Niu is a big man, a farmer. After he became a doctor in the commune, he often made outpatient visits. This area is all mountainous, and he often walks on mountain roads, so there is absolutely no problem with his physical strength.

Seeing a little girl walking so fast, Dr. Niu secretly admired him, and stepped up to avoid falling behind. No matter what, he couldn't lose to a little girl!

Luo Daqing and Chen Yifan were also secretly amazed at Zhao Xiaoling's walking speed, even if the special forces in their unit strengthened special training every day, not everyone could reach her level, and looking at her, it seemed that she didn't take all the time. energy is released.

This was indeed the case, Zhao Xiaoling deliberately slowed down when she heard Doctor Niu's panting behind her getting more and more rapid.

Dr. Niu gasped and had to be convinced: "Little girl, why do you walk so fast without panting at all, I'm not even as good as you, ashamed!"

Zhao Xiaoling explained, "Doctor Niu, everyone has their own strengths, just like you know medicine but I don't. You must have worked hard to learn it. I walk too. The more I walk, the faster I will be."

"Do you go often?"

He has seen a lot of people living in the mountains, not everyone is as powerful as her.

"When I was in elementary school, I had to walk five kilometers of mountain roads every day. It took more than ten kilometers to go back and forth. Later, I went to the county to go to junior high school and high school. I had to go back every weekend. It was more than 60 kilometers on one side. I walked around and practiced. Come out!"

Dr. Niu said worriedly: "It's not easy for you as a little girl! Are you not afraid of walking the mountain road alone? In this deep mountain, not only bad people often haunt, but also wild beasts."

Zhao Xiaoling said nonchalantly as she walked in front: "At the beginning, of course I was also afraid. When I was in elementary school, my grandfather picked me up for a year, and then I left alone. When I met bad people or beasts, I would go to the hospital to see you." I ran and ran desperately, maybe I was lucky! Every time I ran away."

Chen Yifan looked at Zhao Xiaoling who was walking in front of her as easily as walking on flat ground, and couldn't imagine that she was a little girl walking alone in this desolate mountain in order to go to school these years.It takes a lot of perseverance to be able to do it.

Doctor Niu sighed, "I have a relative's home in your Zhaojiagou. I know how difficult it is for children there to go to school. In the village, there are very few girls and even boys. Most of them go to school casually." In a year or two, being able to write your own name is not enough to be blind and illiterate, there aren’t many people like you who went to high school, right?”

Indeed, Zhaojiagou is too backward and remote. On the one hand, there is no money to go to school. On the other hand, the village is too far away from the school, and it is too difficult for children to go to school. Even if the family has the conditions to provide, few children can persist go down.

Except for Zhao Xiaoling, none of the children in the village went to junior high school, let alone high school.

Most of the girls in the village have not even attended a day of school.

On the other hand, Zhao Xiaoling liked to go to school since she was a child. Before entering school, she was full of longing for the school, and she always quarreled with her grandparents to go to school. So when she reached the right age, her grandfather took her to sign up.Rain or shine pick up and drop off for a year.In those days, adults worked tirelessly like dogs every day in order to fill their stomachs. Who still had the mind and energy to take care of their children's schooling.

After entering junior high school, living on campus will cost a lot. People in the village persuaded grandparents not to let her continue to go to school at such an age, but grandpa said that as long as the child is willing to go to school , he has been for her to read.

After her grandfather passed away unexpectedly, everyone in the village thought that Zhao Xiaoling would not be allowed to continue reading this time, but grandma still let Zhao Xiaoling continue reading.

Zhao Xiaoling just likes going to school, and she has been shaken by her family's conditions, but Zhaojiagou is too poor and backward, she wants to go out wholeheartedly, but she has no other way except to go to school, especially after the country resumes the college entrance examination, Zhao Xiaoling became more determined in this thought.

When Zhao Xiaoling thought of this, her heart felt like a knife. Her grandparents were so kind to her and did everything they could to support her in school. She couldn't repay her anything, and even made their daughter hurt.

If she does it all over again, she won't do that again. If grandma survives today, she won't go to school again. She will watch over grandma and at least settle grandma well so that she doesn't have to live so hard again.

After a lifetime, she knows that there is more than one road to happiness.On this road to happiness, she cannot selfishly fulfill herself by sacrificing her relatives.

She and her relatives are in the same boat. When the boat of her relatives sank, she also fell into the water. Therefore, she can only talk about her own development on the premise of protecting her relatives well.

Zhao Xiaoling casually picked up a stone and held it in her hand, "I have grandparents and aunts in my life. They are my greatest luck. Unfortunately, I can't repay them. Grandpa has gone. I hope God will not be too cruel." , Grandma also..."

Dr. Niu was a little moved, "Your grandparents are really kind to you. Good people are rewarded with good things. Your grandma should be fine."

"If possible, I would like to lose 20 years of my life in exchange for my grandma's ten years of life." Zhao Xiaoling's voice choked.

"Your filial piety is moving. Your grandma will be fine." Luo Daqing said.
