Chapter 6 The life-saving straw(1/2)
The simplicity of people in the mountains is something Chao Changchang has never experienced before.
The first-class tide was "desperate". During the month when he fled back to the mountain village to recuperate, the villagers were as enthusiastic as when they saw him every Qingming Festival.
There is even more than that.
In the past twelve years, this small mountain village with only 20 or 30 households has produced three college students in total, and they all went to a pretty good school. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be two more this year.
This is more than before Grandpa Chao returns to his roots, starting from the college entrance examination, and the total number of college students in the village is more.
People from the mountain village attributed this matter to the emergence of a "rotten" in their village.
The "love name" here is a bit strange, and I like to add a single character after the last word of the name.
If there were no "ruzi" to build the road, the children in the village would have to walk twenty kilometers back and forth to school every day.
If there were no "Ruzi" to study Hope Primary School, even if you walk twenty kilometers of mountain roads every day, there would be no serious school or teachers.
Although Chaoyi was discharged from the hospital, he still needed to rest in bed.
The villagers were enthusiastic about each other and took turns cooking and delivering food to them from house to house.
The meat that I usually take out during the Chinese New Year is put on as if I don’t have money.
There are also various large bone soup pig's trotters that make up the shape of the shape.
China's basic network development is arrogant around the world. There is no remote mountain village that has not read the news. I don't know that the trendy and top-notch are no longer the richest man.
But the thanks from the villagers are real, just like every time I deliver the meal, I will make the rice more real than rice cakes.
Chao Changchang didn't understand at first why Chao Yiliu was unwilling to live in Lu Jingshuo's house. He was so far away that he had to run up the mountain without healing his injuries.
Think about the scene when Shui Miaomiao "sends" him to leave school, and then look at the villagers' daily life, delivering meals to this poor home in a variety of ways.
No one had a slight slightest bit of force on his face.
The villagers spontaneously arranged a shift, three meals a day, and every meal was arranged clearly on which day and on.
There are several families who are relatively close to each other. After breakfast is ready, they think about coming over to ask if Chao Changchang's family has eaten.
Every time this time, the household that arranged to deliver the meal that day would be the same as the order was robbed from the company: "It's been more than ten years, and I finally had the opportunity to make breakfast for the Liuzi. Why are you messing around here if you're fine?"
The villagers know that the first-class tide has changed from the richest man to the mountain village that has only been lost. But no matter how the outside world changes, the first-class tide returns, it is still the "rotto" that changes the fate of the whole village.
Chao Changchang was amazed at the enthusiasm of every household here and their memory.
He had been here once before, twelve years ago, at the age of six. He didn't stay for a few days in total.
But in such a short time, almost every neighbor who comes to deliver food can tell some stories about his "first son" when he was a child.
The Juan's aunt from the village entrance said: "Our eldest son is so old now, so it's still a little bit to meet at the meeting."
The aunt Eiko in Murao said, "The eldest son looked so savory when he was a child, and he was more delicate than the girls in our village."
...
Except for the "intestine" that is more difficult to accept than "fly", every other word is like the warm sun in winter.
At this moment, Chao Changchang seemed to understand why his father came here.
Half of the dozens of families in the village have their surnames Chao.
The aunt Li’s family from Banpo came to deliver the meal. When he saw Chao Chang’s first sentence, he had more characteristics than his previous aunts: “The eldest son fell down here last time. Li Zi was next to you at that time, but he didn’t even pull you. He was hung up by his father for three days.”
Lizi, Chao Dali. When Chao Changchang was six years old, Chao Dali was only five years old. Chao Changchang was not used to walking on mountain roads and fell down. He could even blame the five-year-old Chao Dali.
Aunt Li also said that in many years since then, as long as Chao Dali makes his father unhappy, his father will use this reason to beat him.
The villagers don’t ask the logic of Chao Changchang’s family at all, they ask [I’m happy].
Chao Changchang never thought that the fall he fell twelve years ago would cause a "childhood haze" to a boy one year younger than him.
What's even more exaggerated is that the boy who grew up in his "haze" actually regarded the fall he witnessed back then as his fate with the family that changed the fate of this mountain village.
As soon as I heard that Chao Changchang came to the small mountain village, I immediately "run" back regardless of everything.
Chao Dali is in high school in the town and has good grades. He is one of the two college students that this mountain village may produce this year.
Before there was no "repet", the children in the village had to walk ten kilometers of mountain roads to elementary school, twenty kilometers round and twenty kilometers round and thirty kilometers round and junior high school.
If you still have to go to the town to study in high school after graduating from junior high school, it will be a whole lot of difficulties.
It's so difficult that I'll come back at most once a semester.
After the first-class man returned to his roots, the village opened roads and cars, and the living standards of every household improved.
Nowadays, children who are in high school in town, as long as they are willing, it is not a problem to come back to stay for a day on the weekend.
On the first Saturday after Chao Changchang's family returned to the mountain village, Lizi came back from the town's high school and whispered "Brother Intestines", which made Chao Changchang's liver tremble.
Chao Changchang asked him to change his name. Chao Dali thought for a long time and changed his "intestine" to "second chief".
The "Second Brother" who opened his mouth and kept talking was so trembling that his liver was trembling, but his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were trembling.
Chao Changchang doesn’t like the title of Second Chang very much. Except for the last time when he “farewell”, that’s what Shui Miaomiao calls him.
The nickname of a couple with the same strokes as the seven waters, two longs, and even the same couple's strokes.
...
"Didn't I tell you that I'm not called Erchang? My name is cháng zhǎng, Chao cháng zhǎng, homophonic and Tongfu," Chao Changchang used to be unexplained how to pronounce his name. If it weren't for Erchang now, he would definitely be too lazy to explain to Chao Dali. "This name comes from a couplet by Wang Shipeng, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty. The first one is usually long and the second one is long and the second one is long. Chao Changchang means that the tide often rises."
"I understand, the second eldest brother." Chao Dali kept nodding.
Chao Dali commands [to humbly agree and firmly refuse to change], and Chao Changchang can only accept it helplessly.
That's it.
perhaps.
If you scream a few more times, you will become desensitized.
Chao Changchang thought that Chao Dali is in his third year of high school and is busy preparing for the college entrance examination. There are no chances of coming back on the weekend.
But every Saturday noon after that, the Chao Changchang would hear the "Second Brother" floating from the hillside, with echoing in the empty space.
I have explained the title twice and Chao Dali. Chao Changchang didn't want to explain it again for the third time, so I changed to a more meaningful topic, "You are not preparing for the college entrance examination in school and running into the mountains every day. Do you think your score is too high?"
It is not easy to have a college student in a remote mountain village.
Chao Changchang dropped out of school because he was a hopeless deadbeat.
The more this happens, the more shameful people who have hope, and give up casually.
He wasn't like this before.
"Brother Erchang, I'm back this time, I have something very important to ask for your help." Chao Dali pulled Chao Changchang's wrist as soon as he came over, and the kind that he couldn't even shake off.
When Chao Dali saw Chao Changchang for the first time, he wanted to ask him for help. But at that time, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, and Chao Dali was not at the time when he had to talk.
"Let me tell you, let's see what kind of help I, who are not diligent in four bodies, can help you." Chao Changchang was making fun of himself. When he came to this mountain village, he had been receiving help, and had never helped anything.
"I want to confess my love to Juanzi. You are from the city. You must have experience and know how to confess your love." Chao Dali didn't know where the fake news came from.
“…”
A series of ellipsis floated through Chaochang's heart. There was a necessary connection between those who came from the city and knowing how to confess their love?
He has grown up so old, and the scenes of confessing have indeed appeared many times, but he has been confessed and has never taken the initiative to pursue anyone.
Chao Changchang didn't say anything, but couldn't stop Chao Dali's endless desire to express himself: "Juanzi, you know, he is the daughter of Aunt Juan at the entrance of the village, Chao Shijuan. She is so beautiful, so she can study."
The villagers used the last word of the first child in the family to call their mother.
"You classmate?" Chao Changchang basically had no idea who there were people in this and that family in the village. The most he knew was the "aunt" who took turns to deliver food to their house, and the primary school students who came back every day at Hope Primary School.
Chao Changchang has an impression of the name Chao Shijuan. It was probably an aunt who told him that there are two college students in the village today, Chao Dali and Chao Shijuan.
"Everyone and girl are going to take the college entrance examination, why are you messing around at this time?" Chao Changchang looked at Chao Dali with a little speechlessness, and refused to provide any help very coldly, "Hold on it."
Thinking of his young and frivolous self, he gave up Harvard and Yale without blinking his eyebrows. Chao Changchang couldn't breathe in his heart.
He has always been romantic. Before, he would definitely not have thought about it for a second to encourage the tide to confess his love.
In the first eighteen years of life, Chao Changchang didn’t know what realism was, nor did he think that he would “educate” the young boy who had just fallen in love, and he had to endure it even if he liked it.
"If Juanzi takes the college entrance examination, I will definitely not make trouble. She doesn't want to take the exam anymore." Chao Dali pulled out a handful of innocent weeds in depressed manner. "Juanzi has two younger brothers, and her grades are OK. Her mother's meaning is to let her go out to work after graduating from high school. I'm afraid Juanzi will agree."
"Preferring boys over girls?" Chao Changchang was a little surprised, but more of it was still unknown.
Aunt Juan can be sincere to their family in trouble, so why can't she let her daughter go to college?
"Isn't this the case in our countryside? Juanzi's family has already calculated that some of the villages next door don't even allow girls to go to high schools."
"I can't help what you said." When did Chao Changchang face such a question, he asked in surprise, "What makes you think I can change the customs here?"
"No...I don't mean that." Chao Dali was a little anxious and said a lot without any logic:
"Brother Second Chief, I originally wanted to confess my love to Juanzi after the college entrance examination."
"We grew up together, and I knew she always treated me as a brother. I was afraid of being rejected and did not even have a brother."
"Now, if I don't say it, she might have really gone to work."
"She helps me with homework in elementary and junior high school, and her grades are better than mine, which is a pity."
