The dragon is alive

Chapter 4 No.3

When Xiaolong heard that his father had no work today and had to eat at home before going to the station, he began to get scared.Although his father usually doesn't control him very much, but today's matter is another matter.As soon as Xiaolong's father got home, he took out his wine, grabbed a few handfuls of peanuts, and started drinking alone.

"Damn Xiaolong, where did Xiaolong go?".

"Oh, he! Isn't he sleeping in the room?".

"Oh! Got it, Xiaolong..., Xiaolong" Father Yang shouted loudly while drinking.

"Hey! Dad, I'm sleeping, what's the matter?".

"It's okay, did you get your test scores?".

"Not yet, we have to wait for two more days."

"Oh, remember to take it back and show it to me first, to see what school you have been admitted to, so that I can prepare tuition fees with you."

"Father, I don't want to study anymore. After I get my ID card, I will go out to work with Brother Liu and the others. This will also reduce your burden, and you don't have to be exposed to the sun and rain all day." Xiaolong said in the room replied loudly.

"Touch! Fart! Who told you to go to work, you and I have to study hard, at least you have to go to college, because I am uneducated, I am always punished and calculated outside, now your task Just study, you don’t care about the rest, you know?” Xiaolong’s father heard him say that he didn’t want to study and wanted to go out to work with the people in the village, and the wine glass in his hand fell on the table. Not bad, just spilled some wine from the glass.

"Dad, it takes a lot of money to go to college, and you work so hard to earn money. I just want to work and don't want to study."

There was a sound of a broken wine glass, Xiaolong's father heard that his son still insisted on not reading, so he threw the wine glass on the ground in a fit of anger, then stood up and walked to Xiaolong's room, saying as he walked: "If you don't study, you Give it to me, what I am working so hard is to hope that you can read more books, and your grades are also good. This is a good opportunity, and you dare to say that you don’t want to study.”

Speaking of which, he opened the door and came to Xiaolong's bed. When he heard his father throwing a wine glass in anger and his footsteps, Xiaolong realized that something was wrong, and was trying to figure out how to avoid it. Dad had already rushed to his bed in two steps In front of him, Xiaolong opened his eyes and watched his father come in stupidly.

"Do you dare to tell Laozi again that you don't study, Laozi, what's wrong with your head?".

At this time, Xiaolong's mother heard the sound of the wine glass breaking, and hurried to see what happened. When Xiaolong's father asked him what was wrong with his head, Long's mother was already standing at the door and began to smooth things over: "His father, What are you doing, so fierce, don't scare Xiaolong, he accidentally fell and broke his head today, so please speak slowly if you have anything to say."

Hearing that Xiaolong's head was broken, and there was a big gauze bandage on his head, Xiaolong's father's tone suddenly changed from fierce to worried: "What? Did you hit your head? Is it serious? Come and see ".

"Dad, it's okay. It's wrapped in gauze, so I can't see it." Xiaolong immediately replied when he heard his father's worried question.

"It's fine, why are you so careless? There can't be any problems here. Be careful in the future, you know? You can continue to study and don't worry about other things. If you dare not to study and go to work, I will do it." If you break one of your legs, don't recognize me as your father in the future, do you understand?" Xiaolong's father said.

Seeing his mother in the back, blinking and nodding, Xiaolong understood what his mother meant, so he said, "Got it, Dad, you go to the bar quickly, you have to go to work later, I'll sleep for a while."

"Okay, remember to tell me first when you get the transcript."

"understood".

Xiaolong's father found another wine glass and started drinking again.After Mama Long finished cooking, Xiaolong also got up and had dinner with his parents.After eating, his father rushed to the station in a hurry. Looking at the back of his father leaving, Xiaolong's eyes were a little moist. He knew very well what his father's job was.I often deliver meals with my father. I saw my father carrying more than 100 catties of goods in the scorching sun, walking up and down on a [-] to [-] cm wide springboard. I thought that my father only wore a thin piece of clothing to load and unload goods in the cold winter. Although it was cold, Dad was sweating. All this was for him to study.

I originally wanted to go out to work after finishing junior high school, so that my father would not have to work so hard, but today's father's attitude, Xiaolong knew that it was not easy to go to work, and his father would definitely not agree, so he had to continue studying, and his father would continue Keep working so hard.

Soon it was time to get the notice. Yang Wenlong came to the school where he was about to leave early, but as soon as he arrived at the school, he was bumped into by his head teacher: "Yang Wenlong, it's so early, I want to know if my grades are right or not?" Let me tell you, your grades in the senior high school entrance examination are good, No.3 in the whole province, if your foreign language can be better, it will be no problem to get the first place in the county."

"No.3? Teacher, how is it possible, how many points have I scored in foreign languages?".

"Hehe, it's strange to say that you failed in one of the foreign languages, but this time you got [-] points in the senior high school entrance examination, and almost all the other subjects are full marks."

"Seventy points in foreign language?" Yang Wenlong was surprised. Why was he surprised? We, the third in the county, have never passed a foreign language. He said the old saying: "If I don't go to a foreign country, it's useless to learn a foreign language well."If the teacher did not teach well, the students in the same class as him also had full marks in the foreign language test, so from this point of view, it should belong to the latter.This time in the senior high school entrance examination, Yang Wenlong still used the old method, mostly foreign language choice and judgment questions, so he used a piece of rubber to cut a cube, like a dice, and then wrote the answers on six sides, and just threw the dice. He just answered whatever came up. What he didn't expect was that he got [-] points for doing so. What a piece of shit luck.

After receiving the notification letter from the key high school in the county seat, Yang Wenlong went to the train station immediately. He wanted to tell his father the result, because it was something his father had repeatedly told him to do, but he didn't want his father to know, because the tuition fee for attending a key high school was very low. It's not a small amount either. Dad doesn't know how much sweat he will have to spend to get these tuition fees. When he goes to the county town to study and has monthly living expenses, the expenses are several times higher than before.

When he came to the goods yard of the railway station, he found his father who was working. Xiaolong told his father about his senior high school entrance examination results. His father's first words were not worried about money, but said happily: "Okay, that's great. In the future, our family will All my hopes are on you, hahahaha! Hey, come and see, my son has been admitted to a key high school, and he is No.3 in the county.” Xiaolong’s father started to show off to his colleagues, and his colleagues were all chattering After talking, Xiaolong didn't want to hear what they said, so he said to his father, "Dad, I'm going back first."

"Well, you go back first and tell your mother the news to make her happy too. Oh, by the way, how much does it cost to go to the county to study, I have to prepare first."

"Dad, it may cost more than 3000, and there are two or three hundred living expenses per month." More than 3000 yuan is not a small amount for a family like Yang Wenlong. A coolie like his father, who is exposed to the sun and rain, only costs 600 yuan a month. In addition to family expenses, he can save up to 300 yuan a month. , but also to ensure that there are no accidents at home to save money, so Yang Weilong doesn't want to continue studying, and wants to go out to work to earn money, so his father doesn't have to work so hard.

"Okay, more than 3000, it's okay, I will prepare it before the start of school, you don't have to worry about anything, just study with me well, even if I want you to go to college, just concentrate on studying for me, you know?".

"Well, then I'll go back first."

"Okay, let's go!".Yang Wenlong left his father's workplace, and his father kept showing off in front of his colleagues, and he was not anxious at all because of the tuition fee.But he knew very well in his heart that his savings over the years were only a few thousand yuan. If Yang Wenlong finished high school, the family could barely get by with a little savings. If he went to other places to study in college, Xiaolong's father didn't know what to do.
