Mysterious city

Xiaoyan's eldest brother loved his younger brother very much. He would not touch anything delicious and drinkable, leaving everything to Xiaoyan.

And his mother needless to say, even in the years of good harvest, in those days when food was abundant, Xiao Yan's mother never had a full meal, but gave all the meals she saved to Xiao Yan. Yan has extra meals.

In this way, under the care of the family, Xiaoyan thrived.

He alone absorbed almost all the "nutrients" in the family, and Xiaoyan did not disappoint his family members in terms of body growth.

By the time he was eleven or twelve years old, Xiaoyan's height had surpassed that of his already-adult brother, and was still on the rise.

By the time he reached high school, although Xiaoyan's body was still very thin, his height had already reached 1.9 meters, which could almost kill most adults in an instant.

In Wang Village, where living conditions are extremely poor, it is almost a miracle to grow to a height of 1.9 meters. Most of the villagers are over 1.6 meters tall, and being 1.7 meters tall is considered a top.

Compared with her eldest brother, Xiao Yan has almost lost a gap of nearly 30 centimeters from him.

In fact, Xiaoyan's family's genes are not bad.

His father is more than 1.7 meters tall, which is considered very outstanding among the older generation of villagers.

The reason why Xiaoyan's brother is so much shorter than him is because the eldest brother is reluctant to open his stomach to eat and gives up almost all the food to him.

Secondly, it was because Xiaoyan's eldest brother had already followed their mother to work in the fields when he was still underage and still growing.

It is certainly beneficial to do some appropriate exercises at a developmental age, and it can have the effect of increasing your height.

But if you exercise too much, or work too hard, it will have a counterproductive effect, similar to "pulling seedlings to encourage growth."

This is the same reason that people who have practiced martial arts since childhood usually do not grow taller, and the physical work done by Xiaoyan's eldest brother is not less harmful to the body than the "boy's skill" practiced by those who practice martial arts. Where to go.

How could Xiaoyan not know these reasons? He had been smart and precocious since he was a child, and he had realized this early, but he had never mentioned this matter to his eldest brother openly.

After all, this has become a fact. Saying it will not change anything, it will only make everyone more sad.

But having said that, Xiaoyan is still full of gratitude to her eldest brother, sisters and mother.

After all, the family has invested almost all their resources on himself. If he cannot develop his "moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and laborious" comprehensive development, wouldn't he let down the whole family's efforts?

Fortunately, not only in terms of size, but also in terms of academic performance, Xiaoyan did not disappoint her family.

Until she graduated from high school, Xiaoyan was almost two grades ahead of her peers in the village.

Of course, being talented is one thing, but achieving such impressive results is also inseparable from Xiaoyan's hard work.

While other children of the same age in the village were still running around the village, playing and playing, or working in the fields, Xiaoyan had been studying day and night, and burning the midnight oil was a common occurrence.

In the college entrance examination, Xiaoyan performed exceptionally and achieved very good results.

Although the university he was admitted to was only the lowest among undergraduates, considering that the teaching conditions were extremely backward, the teaching staff was almost zero, and even the teaching textbooks were incomplete, this achievement was already impressive enough.

As the first college student born in Wangcun in more than 20 years, not only Xiaoyan's family, but also the villagers of Wangcun also saw hope in Xiaoyan.

Everyone is looking forward to Xiaoyan returning from his studies, building Wangcun, and leading them on the road to prosperity.

In that era, although the term "college student village official" was not common, once such a person appeared, he would definitely be a pillar, and his importance was as important as a locomotive and its body.

It’s just that the villagers in Wang Village themselves are extremely lacking in knowledge, and their understanding of current affairs and politics is even less.

In their view, being able to become a college student is already good enough. But what the villagers of Wangcun don’t know is that with Xiaoyan’s undergraduate diploma, if he doesn’t continue to study for a higher degree, he has no background or connections. How difficult it is to enter an official career.

But these are all things for later. In short, after learning the news that a college student had appeared in the village, the villagers in Wangcun felt excited, as if they had grasped the dawn of hope in their hands.

However, college tuition for students with a low-level bachelor's degree is usually very expensive. It is self-evident how heavy the burden is for Xiaoyan's family.

Xiaoyan's family spent almost all their savings in the past twenty years to barely raise enough money for his tuition.

But in this way, it is difficult for Xiaoyan's family to come up with even a few yuan for travel expenses, water bills, and food expenses.

Fortunately, at this difficult moment, the in-laws of Xiaoyan's two sisters and many villagers extended a helping hand.

Everyone took out part of their savings and secretly conducted a silent and anonymous "donation ceremony".

Even if all the villagers contributed their own efforts, in the end they could only collect about a hundred yuan.

Now, no, even at that time, for those small cities in the third and fourth tiers, a hundred yuan was just a drop in the bucket. It is very likely that the monthly expenses of many people's pet dogs were this amount. Several times.

But for the villagers of Wangcun, this number is already quite large. How could Xiaoyan not know this.

Since the hundred yuan coins were just small change, they looked a lot and thick, just like the villagers' move was so profound in Xiaoyan's heart, and it made him feel extremely heart-warming.

At the same time, Xiaoyan also felt that the burden on her body became heavier.

After all, he now not only carries the expectations of his family, but also the hopes of the entire village!

If you have never experienced this feeling, you will never understand it.

But at this moment, Jiang Zhe seemed to have experienced the same thing as Xiaoyan. In other words, he was Xiaoyan at this moment.

However, since she only had a hundred yuan at her disposal, Xiaoyan certainly couldn't take a train, high-speed rail or even a plane directly to school like other students.

He can only choose cheaper means of transportation, but when it comes to transportation, the word "cheap" is almost the same as "time-consuming".

This means that Xiaoyan must set off much earlier than other children.
