The happiness of rebirth is knocking on the door

Chapter 27

Li Xiaohong was admitted to the town's junior high school with the No.1 grade in the township, and the news spread like the wind.

This time, not only the village, but also many people in the town knew about her glorious deeds.People in the village all looked proud when they went shopping.Don't the people in the town always think they are strong?But the No. 1 in the village belongs to our village this time. Next time I see those people in the town, how can they still be so superior?

Li Zhijun and Zhang Meiying laughed from ear to ear, as if they had picked up a gold ingot that fell from the sky.When she was happy, she gave Li Xiaohong 30 yuan and asked her to buy whatever she wanted.At this time, 30 yuan is a huge sum of money for a child.

Li Xiaohong thought, fortunately, he is not a real child, otherwise he would have been treated like Zhong Yong in the text "Injury Zhong Yong" by the people around him.

At this time, Li Xiaohong really didn't know how to deal with the extremely enthusiastic eyes and words in the village, so she simply said that she wanted to study and stayed in her room.Needless to say, this also ushered in unanimous praise from everyone, no wonder Xiaohong studies well, look, she is not willing to waste a little time studying even during the holidays.Cough, why doesn't my child look like Xiaohong? It seems that he really doesn't have the life to eat commercial food.

Finally on this day, Li Xiaohong's impatient days are coming to an end, and the beginning of junior high school is here.

Unable to refuse her mother's request to send her to school, Li Xiaohong had no choice but to ride to junior high school with her mother.In fact, the junior high school is also very close, not far from the town, only ten minutes away by bicycle from her home.But who told her that this was the first time she left home, her mother was still worried.

At this time, there were already two bicycles in the family.

One is the permanent brand black bicycle that the family first bought, and the other is a newly bought Phoenix brand.The newly bought one is a rare colorful bicycle in the village. There is no crossbeam in front and it looks more delicate.At this time, the three major items of marriage in rural areas have become bicycles, TV sets and sewing machines.

As soon as this new bicycle was bought, it attracted the envy of many people in the village at that time.

When the villagers borrowed it again, Zhang Meiying always borrowed that old bicycle to go out. The new one is not easy for outsiders to ride, and it is very delicate.

The dirt road is uneven, especially a section of the road was rutted by the rack carts and tricycles full of crops in autumn. Riding a car is far less comfortable than riding a bike.

Knowing that her daughter would rather ride a bicycle by herself than jolt around on the back of the bicycle, Zhang Meiying pushed the old one, pointed to the new one and said, "You can ride that one."

Li Xiaohong felt a little sour in her heart. Her mother was like this. She never said she loved her family, but in her heart, hardships came first and pleasures came last. Good things belonged to her children and her husband, and it was her turn in the end.Whatever is delicious, I always let them eat first, and when it's my turn, I say I don't like it, and I hope my beloved daughter can eat more.

She never knew that she could also have vanity, giving glory to herself first, and then considering others.Or, like some parents, they feel that the children are young and the days of eating and drinking are mostly behind, and they enjoy it first.

Great love is not strong, it is all hidden in the inconspicuous daily behaviors.

Why was she so stupid in her previous life that she felt that her mother didn't kiss her?

Maybe after looking at the barrier of time, we can see some inner things more clearly.

This time, let yourself let mother.Li Xiaohong rode the old bike first.

"You child, don't ride a good car, you must ride an old one."

"It's okay, Mom, this car can hold a lot of things. I just practiced my skills, and I will use it when I go to high school."

As long as it is not a matter of principle, Zhang Meiying has always followed her daughter.

I have always wanted to move my family to the town. In order to make my language more convincing, after the report, Li Xiaohong took her mother to see the girls' dormitory.

The girls' dormitory is at the southernmost side of the school, with three rooms in a row, next to the playground, facing north.For safety, the south-facing windows were entirely covered with bricks, leaving only a two-finger-wide gap at the top.The light of the whole house is maintained by the two-finger-wide seam and the door facing north, so the overall light appears insufficient.

Surrounded by walls on all sides, there are upper and lower bunk bunks. Counting the door, it happens to be a hollow rectangular shape.

Now, in the middle of this rectangle, there are many bicycles parked in the open space in the room, all of which are crowded together one by one.

There is a light bulb on the roof in the middle of the room, emitting a dim yellow light.The light from the top of the window was fine on the upper bunk, but the whole lower bunk was still dark.

Li Xiaohong knew that people hadn't arrived yet, and the lower berth would be even darker after everyone came to report, because bicycles would fill up the entire open space, leaving only a one-person-wide passage on the side for people to enter and exit.

This is because there is light during the day, and it is even darker in the evening.The light from that bulb seemed too small in the entire spacious room.

There was a constant chatter in the room.

"How can we sleep here! The teacher has already said that there are so many students now, each with a width of one foot, two inches and five inches."

"Yeah, look at the bunk, the lines are drawn, and no one can take more."

"It's too narrow. It's only one foot two inches five. I compared it, and I can't even lie flat. I can only sleep on my side."

"I heard that generally one person sleeps with his head inward and the other with his head outward, otherwise he can't fall asleep."

"I've also heard from people in our village that it's better when it's cold, and it's warmer if you huddle together. It's so hot that it's unbearable."

"What's the matter, isn't it better in summer? At least the quilt doesn't take up much space, and it will be more comfortable when you sleep."

"You don't know this. Think about it. It's good to have a quilt to cover you in winter, but in summer, you sleep on the feet of others, and the stench can make people faint. People in our village use a sheet to cover themselves when they sleep. Cover it, it will be fine after falling asleep anyway."

"That's not hot. It's hot enough in summer. In this almost sealed space, you still need to cover yourself with a sheet. Can you still sleep?"

"Anyway, it's already hot enough. If it's even hotter, it's still hot. It's better than smelling the stench."

"Oh, no way. Does anyone not wash their feet at night?"

"Why not? Some people don't like to wash their feet at night. Besides, if you want to wash, you have to have water. The faucet in the school is turned off at night."

"That would be miserable."

"Who says it's not? Anyway, going to school is hard work. If my family didn't force me to go to school, I really don't want to go to school. At least I can sleep in my own bed at home, and I can sleep as I want."

"Your family is okay. My family said that girls will belong to others in the future anyway. They just need to know a few words. What else do they need to study? It's better to work for two years earlier, or it will be too disadvantageous to raise a girl."

This statement sparked the approval of many people.

"Yeah, my dad also said that if I don't study well, I won't be allowed to go. My mother still feels sorry for me, saying that there are not many students in our village who are admitted to the town's junior high school. It's a pity not to go."

"So it's good that we can go to school. Besides, I heard that it's good to be in the second grade. Many people will drop out of school, so we can move to the upper bunk to sleep."

"That's right. The first graders are on the lower bunk, and the second and third graders are on the upper bunk. It's so dark down there, and we can't stand up straight. We'll just go to the upper bunk."

"Wait, a year will pass quickly."

Listening to everyone's talk, Li Xiaohong's mother and daughter remained silent. In fact, the real situation was worse than what they said.

At that time, Li Xiaohong had already suffered a lot from it.

If you move slower after evening self-study and come back later, your position has been occupied by others.It's not that others don't want to make room, but that each person has a seat, and they are all packed.Besides, it's not easy for people to sleep, so it's better to be a little wider.The person who arrived late had to sleep at the feet of others, and the space was so narrow that he could only lie on his side all night.

Not to mention, the smell of corruption in the whole house, the smell of pickles put by other people in the house, the smell of urine buckets on the ground, the smell of sweat, and the wet smell caused by people often taking some water in the basin to wipe in it, so much The body odor emitted by people, mixed together, is an indescribable weirdness.

Listening to other people talking, Li Xiaohong found the place reserved for the first grade and spread the bedding.

What a narrow bunk.

Also, unforgettable years.

It is because of these circumstances that there are so many fleas in the house.Although the entire dormitory had been sprayed with pesticides before school started, the damp, dirty, and dark conditions were exactly the breeding ground for fleas, and it was difficult to stop them.

Zhang Meiying is very afraid of fleas. It turns out that as long as there is a flea in the house, she will not be able to sleep. Therefore, every summer, as long as there is sunshine, she will dry the quilt every day and spray medicine on the bed.

After a while, she had already started scratching left and right.

I remember at that time, after one semester passed, Li Xiaohong's mattress was densely covered with small spots, which were traces left by fleas.Maybe it's because of the training, Li Xiaohong is not afraid of fleas.

But she didn't say anything, and like Zhang Meiying, she pretended to be very itchy.

"Let's go, mom, let's go, it's too itchy here. The report is over, and the class will start tomorrow."

Zhang Meiying also wished to come out earlier.

Although it was already September, the two of them were already sweating inside.

Li Xiaohong pretended to complain: "Mom, the inside is so narrow, how are you going to sleep?"

"Yes, there are so many fleas." Zhang Meiying was most afraid of this.Thinking of the itching inside just now, she felt that there were fleas hiding on her body.

Seeing the situation in her daughter's dormitory, although she is used to suffering, she still feels a bit reluctant to let her daughter live here.

"Or, anyway, your teacher doesn't care, you go home to stay at night?"

"Mom, I also want to go home. But I have to go through such a large field at night, and I'm a little scared. I'm a girl, what if I meet a bad guy? The teacher said that it's not safe here."

In her previous life, Li Xiaohong also went home to live in summer when the heat was unbearable. Once, someone blocked her bicycle. Fortunately, she was courageous and skilled, and she often did farm work with great hands. That person was also a little afraid that her actions would be discovered, which allowed her to escape in the end.

In the end, she rode her bicycle home in fear, and lay on the bed alone without falling asleep all night.I still dare not tell my mother, for fear that my mother will worry about her.

After this incident, no matter how unbearable it was, she no longer dared to ride a bicycle home alone at night, so she kept making do in the school dormitory.

"Well, going to school is to endure hardship, so that you can have a good life in the future." Zhang Meiying had no choice.

Studying requires hard work, but a good life cannot be achieved by just suffering.

Li Xiaohong objected to her mother's words in her heart, and only by taking advantage of this opportunity could she persuade her mother.
