Chapter 30 Subconscious Changes

At this time in □□, the students in the whole town were like this. They went home for lunch. Most of the families were busy with farm work and had no time to prepare lunch. Only the students cooked after school.However, compared with parents and elders, they are still much luckier.I heard that they had to bring rice, dried radishes, and firewood when they went to school.And for the whole week.

I heard from my father that he was also like this at that time. There were many brothers and sisters in the family, and the grandparents had no money to support the four siblings to go to school. The aunt only went to elementary school, while my father earned his own tuition by chopping firewood and selling it before he went to junior high school. , and my aunt only went to elementary school, and my uncle was better. He chose not to study, saying that he didn't have the mind to study, and it was useless to study.

When Dad said it, the cloud was clear and the wind was calm, as if he was chatting.I felt a burst of emotion in my heart, and I didn't know why I was so sore. My father's thin figure appeared in my mind, and he went up the mountain alone to cut firewood, and then he carried the 100-jin firewood to the town to sell. Lost, just to earn that two or three cents.And the tuition fee for one semester is more than three yuan, and it takes at least fifteen times to earn enough tuition.From elementary school to junior high school, for the entire 100 summer and winter vacations, he relied on such loads of firewood to earn tuition fees.No wonder he is not tall. It is all because he has been under the weight of more than [-] catties since he was young. In addition, there is not enough rice, so he can only eat rice bran and sweet potato vines. The nutrition cannot keep up. How can he grow like this? high?
Therefore, compared to parents, we are indeed much happier. At least, we don’t have to worry about tuition fees, we don’t have to worry about food and clothing, we just need to take good care of our younger siblings, cook at noon, and help herd cattle and mow grass in the afternoon. What counts?
Holding my job bowl, I looked at the charcoal dust sticking to the faces of my two cousins, and my heart turned a thousand times. I am very used to the thoughts that pop up in my heart from time to time. I didn’t understand it at the beginning, but now I take it for granted. .So, habit is really a terrible thing.

"Smile, eat slowly." The little cousin was full in two or three bites, and he hurried to help grandma feed the pigs, and the pigsty is in front of the ancestral hall in the village, and the ancestral hall is on the small flat land in front of the neighbor next door, which is a typical example There are still several families living in the courtyard house, and the grandparents’ family moved out from there. The vacated house is now used to store firewood, and the empty house in front of the vacant lot is used to make firewood just like the residents in the ancestral hall. pigsty.

"Little cousin, are you full?" I swallowed my meal and asked him.

"I'm full." The little cousin scratched his neck in embarrassment. The cousin kept telling me not to eat so fast, but I just couldn't change it.It's embarrassing to be caught now.

"Oh." I nodded, instead of nagging him every time like before, I just responded in a low voice.

"Grandma, I'll help you feed the pigs." The little cousin was relieved, but luckily the cousin didn't talk too much.

"I've already brought the hogwash. After you feed the pigs, remember to rinse the bucket with water before bringing it back." Grandma was very relieved. Now the two grandsons are very sensible, and they are no longer always playing around like they used to be.It seems that the arrival of Xiaoxiao made them feel that they are older brothers, and they have to set a good example to change so quickly.Children still need to be guided!I said from time to time that they are older brothers and they are right to set a good example.

"Yes, grandma." The little cousin had already walked to the gate, and when he heard grandma's instructions, he quickly replied loudly.

The eldest cousin also finished eating at this time, he filled a bowl of soup, stood next to the patio and finished drinking, then put the bowl on the plate, went to the patio to press the water silently, and filled the water tank, and then Everyone's tub.The little cousin is not tall enough, nor strong enough to press the handle of the water pump, so the big cousin is responsible for pressing the water, and the little cousin feeds the pigs.And I wash the dishes and wipe the table.However, because of the slow eating, I didn't wash it a few times, and it was the two cousins ​​who helped.

And I always drip the clear spring into the water tank used for cooking and eating when they are not paying attention. For more than a month, the effect is remarkable.The body of my grandpa and grandma has become stronger, and my two cousins ​​have also grown in size. I also added spring water to the soup prepared by my grandma for my uncle who goes home once a month to prepare for the college entrance examination.Hearing that his mind became clearer and his memory became better, and he was among the top three in the class in several tests, he felt quite confident.

Under my intentional or unintentional reminder, his wish became a provincial university in Guangcheng.There is always a voice in my heart saying that he is afraid of going to the capital alone, and if he stays in Guangcheng, with the speed at which Dad and the others are developing, he should soon think of opening a fruit wholesale stall in Guangcheng, and then my little uncle can Study with peace of mind, no need to be afraid of studying abroad alone.And the provincial universities in Guangcheng are also ranked high in the whole country, the whole of Asia, and even the world in later generations.Even now, it is the first choice of students in the entire province except for universities in the capital.After all, colleges and universities in the capital are not something everyone can think of, and although the scores of provincial universities are also unattainable, it is not impossible, as long as the top five students in the school have a chance.

So the little uncle no longer held in his longing only for universities in the capital. He thought about it seriously and discussed it with his family. His first choice was still a university in the capital, and his second choice was a university in the province.If you are really admitted to a university in the capital, then you will have the right to speak if you go to a provincial university, which will bring more than one or two benefits.
