Chapter 64 two irrelevant people
What Chu Xiaoman heard today really refreshed her previous understanding. Although her parents had died, aunt father of Aunt raised her like her own daughter and never let her suffer a little bit. Her cousins were also very good to her. They doted on her and let her live the life that many girls in the courtyard envied. She really did not know the suffering of the world outside, and she had never understood it. She was really like a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse, never knowing the taste of the wind and rain outside.
"Aunt's grades are so good, why doesn't her mother feed her? Why not let her study? Isn't it only children who don't listen and study hard aren't allowed to eat?" Jiang Zitong, who was seven years old, had an angry look on his face. In his opinion, children with good grades were the apple of his parents' and teachers' hands.
Jiang Chuheng pursed his lips and told him the cruel truth, "Not every child with good grades has a book to read and not every child has a full meal. For various reasons, many of these students have to drop out of school and go out to work at a young age to earn money. Especially after the reform and opening up, the area of Pengcheng has developed rapidly. Many young boys and girls aged 15 or 16 have left school to live there."
"Was she adopted or her biological mother died and her father remarried?" Chu Hongmei asked curiously.
Jiang Chuheng replied, "She was adopted. Her relationship with his adoptive father and his son is fine. Now that her adoptive parents are divorced, she's doing well and doing her best to help them both."
Jiang Chuyan, the eldest brother who rarely spoke at home, said, "This little girl is really admirable. Dropping out of school and going to work at her age is common. She bravely sticks to her dream, which is much better than those who tend to be realistic."
"This girl has been through so much hardship since she was a child that no one can understand. Her willpower is far beyond that of the average person. In the future, she will definitely be more outstanding than many of the high-ranking children in the capital." As the vice principal of the high school affiliated to the Beijing university, Xie Fangfei had seen too many students from different backgrounds, and very few of them were better than her.
Chu Xiaoman felt that he had suffered a great shock today. He rubbed his eyebrows and said seriously, "I used to think that bing qing was the best girl. She had good grades, was beautiful, could draw pictures, could play all kinds of sports, and had a good personality. Now that you say so, I suddenly feel that she is not the best person."
Jiang Chuheng sneered, poured a glass of wine, and said, "Xiao man, you really have to widen your eyes. If you only look at her and the people around you, you will naturally think that she is outstanding. In fact, she is really just like that. To put it bluntly, she's the only one in the middle and lower reaches of our compound."
"Not to mention anything else, grandma an's three grandsons and three granddaughters, who have been in contact with us the most, are all much better than sun bing. Zhou Yunyang's sister, zhou yunlu, is about the same age as you and seldom plays with you. She is focused on her research. She is only a freshman and has been led by her teacher to do big projects. But what about her, Sun Bingqing, who won a painting award at school and made it known to the entire courtyard as if only their family had a number one talent." Jiang Chuheng felt that she could only use examples to talk to this cousin, and only by comparing herself could she realize what her problem was.
Chu Xiaoman blinked pitifully. Everything they said was true. Why hadn't she noticed it before? Was it really because her vision was too narrow?
At this time, Jiang Chuyan added another fire: "Little man, big brother is going to work in the northwest one station tomorrow. It will take a week. You go out with me to see the outside world, and come back before you start school."
Chu Xiaoman stayed in the capital city all the time except for this trip to Inner Mongolia. He never knew what the outside world was like. When he heard that he could play with his eldest brother to gain some experience, he immediately became happy and said happily, "Okay."
Jiang chuheng looked at his brother with an ambiguous look. Jiang was still very old and spicy. He took her to the northwest. Hehe, it was good for her to experience the suffering of the world, but the medicine was a little strong.
Chu Hongmei saw that the three sons had joined forces to educate her niece in various ways tonight. She was a little upset. When she wanted to say something, Jiang Baichuan pulled down her arm without looking for any trace and shook her head gently.
She mumbled, but in the end she didn't say anything. Let them go. They did it for the good of her cousin.
Li Haitang, who was in tan city, had no idea that Instructor jiang had used her background as a positive example to educate her dumb cousin. She was now at home chatting with the more sensible Li Tao.
This summer, Li Tao could be said to be studying and working at the same time. He was about the same age as Duan Jinqiao. Both of them were in the first year of junior high school. His english was poor, but his science was good. This summer, he and Duan Jinqiao helped each other with their studies, and under the guidance of Lin Peipei, a top student, their grades improved rapidly.
On august 27th, Li Haitang sent Li Tao back to Ping shan town to reminisce with Wang Li, who had returned from her tutoring. He gave Duan Meifang a snack recipe from Hushi, and then went to visit Mr. Tang Hui.
On august 30th, Li Haitang and Wang Li took a bus to Shaoxian.
The two of them had a bowl of wonton in the old woman's shop early in the morning, and the two of them were chatting and laughing on their backpacks waiting by the roadside. All of a sudden, two familiar figures appeared in Li Haitang's line of sight, and the curve of his mouth pressed down.
Wang Li, who was standing face to face with her, naturally noticed the change in her expression. Following her line of sight, she saw an elderly couple dressed appropriately and looking energetic. Wang Li asked curiously, "Haitang, do you know them?"
Li Haitang blinked and said, "Two unimportant people, don't talk to them."
Wang Li had a hunch that there was something she didn't know. Seeing that Li Haitang didn't want to say anything more, she couldn't ask. At this time, the bus came unsteadily. She took Li Haitang to the car and picked a better seat.
The two of them put their schoolbags on the luggage rack. Just as they sat down, the two well-dressed old men also came up. Wang Li glanced at Li Haitang, who looked natural, and then at the old man who was looking around in the carriage. She always felt that they were somewhat inexplicably familiar.
The old lady, whose hair was a little grey but neatly combed, saw the two young and beautiful girls as soon as she got on the car. Especially when she saw Li Haitang's face, her expression changed slightly.
"What are you doing? The people behind you are squeezing in." The old man, who was nearly 60 years old, pushed her and reminded her to sit down quickly. There were people waiting behind her to get in the car.
"Oh." The old lady blinked and sat down directly in front of Li Haitang and the others.
The old man also sat down with her, patted the dust on his sleeve, and sighed, "Hey, I haven't come back in years. There is a thick layer of dust around the old house. If there is a heavy rain, it will probably collapse. Next year, I will come back for qingming festival and fix it up."
The old lady replied absent-mindedly, "If you fall, you will fall. What else can you do? You won't come back again."
"You can't say that. This place is our root. After a hundred years, it will fall to the ground. Do you still want to die in the city and be burned to ashes?" The old man sounded a little angry.
Speaking of this, the old lady's face became even worse, and her face was drawn, "We are living well now. It is still very early to say those words."
Although she was choking at the old man, she secretly glanced at Li Haitang behind her. The more she looked at him, the more flustered she became. She quietly pulled the old man's arm and gave him a look.
The old man followed her gaze and looked directly into a pair of large, clear, indifferent eyes. When he saw her face again, his heart seemed to be suddenly gripped. His face trembled and he looked back in panic.
"Haitang!" Wang Li noticed the eye contact between the three of them and shouted.
Her address made the first two more restless. The old couple looked at each other and did not speak a word. They waited quietly for the departure.
Wang li pointed at the two people in front of her with her chin and asked her with her lips, "Who are they?"
Li Haitang sighed helplessly and wrote a few words in her palm.
After knowing their identities, Wang Li opened her mouth slightly and looked around them with round eyes. She finally knew what that inexplicable sense of familiarity was.
Li Haitang was looking out of the window, and another familiar voice sounded in the small car, "Li Haitang!"
She looked down at the voice and saw someone she knew. She smiled and said, "Li Yongchun, are you going back to school today too?"
"Yes, I heard from the villagers that you just came back during the summer vacation and then left. When did you come back recently?" Li Yongchun, a tall man, easily threw his luggage onto the luggage rack and sat down in the same row as them.
Li Haitang smiled and said, "I didn't come back until the 27th. There are a lot of things to arrange these two days, so I didn't go back to the village."
Wang Li sat on the side of the aisle, so sandwiched between the two of them, Li Haitang had to introduce him: "Li Yongchun, this is my junior high school deskmate Wang Li, you should have seen, Wang jia village people, now studying in the County one middle school."
"Yes, I do." Li Yongchun smiled.
Wang Li had seen her before and asked, "Li Yongchun, where are you studying now?"
"I'm in the provincial capital, I'm in the same school as Wang Ming in Wang jia village." Li Yongchun smiled innocently and joked, "It was Li Haitang's blessing that Wang Ming and I were able to attend this school."
Wang Li immediately understood and laughed, "Haha, that's true. Wang Dadun said a few days ago that when haitang came back, he would treat her to mung bean popsicles. But when haitang really came back, he would have slipped back to school."
"Hehe..." Li Yongchun smiled and said, "Since he's gone, he won't eat mung bean popsicles next time. We'll have to treat him to a big meal anyway."
"Yes, at least one big meal is enough." Wang Li said with a smile.
Li Haitang patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Come on, Wang Dadun is still in school. He doesn't have much money on him. Mung bean popsicle. When he makes a lot of money, we'll kill him again."
"Sure." Wang Li took an orange from his bag and threw it to Li Yongchun. Li Haitang naturally had one.
Li Yongchun peeled oranges and asked, "Li Haitang, are you going back to tan city today?"
"Go back. We'll transfer at the county bus station later. Our school will report tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, we will have classes directly." Li Haitang received an accurate message from Lin Peipei before he returned.
Li Yongchun broke a piece of orange into his mouth and said with a smile, "Then let's go together later. I'll go to tan city to transfer to the provincial city. There are too few buses from the county to the provincial city."
"Sure, there are a lot of buses from tan city to the provincial capital. There will be one in half an hour. I'll treat you to lunch. I'll take you to the car after dinner." Li Haitang chatted with them with a relaxed face, not paying any attention to the two dark eyes in front of him.
Li Yongchun replied, "Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Wang Li's face was full of resentment, "Oh, I also want to have a big meal with you. I haven't been to tan city yet. I haven't tasted the food of tan city."
Li Haitang smiled and said, "You can come over during the holidays. It's not far away. You can go back and forth on the same day. Besides, I have a place to stay. You can stay at my place for one night before you come back."
"Okay. I'll come over whenever it's convenient." Wang Li was already planning a trip in his mind.
