Chapter 24

When I came back from my third uncle's house, the atmosphere at home was tense.

The couple ignored each other. Wu Binghua squatted in front of the porch and didn't enter the room. The scarlet cigarette ends lit and went out in the night, accompanied by the sound of "slapping" mosquitoes from time to time.

More than half an hour later, Zhang Huilan put on clean clothes and went out with a basket.

Wu Tao is playing outside with two children. Seeing this, he caught up with the road behind the village.

"Mom, wait."

Zhang Huilan stopped, grimacing and holding her breath.

"Are you going to borrow money from your uncle's house?"

"Yes!" Zhang Huilan stuck her neck and said, "I just want to prove to your father that my brother is better than his brother! Reliable at a critical time! "

Hey, what's the difference between the couple? Wu Tao was speechless.

But we should still persuade, otherwise I will not be able to borrow the money, but will ignite my father's explosive barrel and make the whole family restless.

"Mom, are you going to my uncle's house like this? When your aunt sees you like this, do you have to pour out your father's embarrassment at the third uncle's house? "

"So what? Your three uncles and three aunts can do it. Don't let others say it? Who... "

"Well, mom, I tell you, if you borrow money like this, my aunt won't lend you a dime."

As soon as she heard this, Zhang Huilan suddenly became silent and thought it over carefully. It seems that this reason is true.

"Tao, you're right. Mom is confused. Don't worry. I promise to say it well later and borrow the money. "

"That's not enough."

"Then what is it? You child, don't you underestimate your uncle and aunt? "

Wu Tao explained patiently, "Mom, it has nothing to do with being small or not. Dad made an embarrassment at his third uncle's house. After a while, even if you shut up, my aunt must already know. "

Zhang Huilan clapped her hands anxiously, "yes, there was such a big news just now. The old and young men must have spread it long ago. Son, what should I do? "

"It's easy, mom, as long as we show enough sincerity."

Zhang Huilan lifted the grass eggs under the rags in the basket and said, "isn't this sincere enough?"

Wu Tao took back a basket of grass eggs and handed them to Xiaojiang. He turned to his mother and said, "the more this time, the more you want to be the boss's wife. Isn't farmhouse restaurant just short of a chef? This job belongs to my uncle. You tell my aunt that as long as our farmhouse can be run, my uncle's monthly salary is 800! "

"Tao, is 800 a little more? City people can't get the money at work. "

"Oh, mom, not much! It's up to me. "

"That's nice. If you don't say much, you won't say much." Zhang Huilan was so happy that she unknowingly straightened her waist.

Seeing his mother happy, Wu Tao hit the railway while it was hot: "by the way, mom, after borrowing the money later, can you talk to dad? Everything is going well at home. It doesn't bode well for you two to quarrel with each other before our business starts. "

As soon as she heard that it was related to business, Zhang Huilan paid special attention to it, so Zhan Yan smiled: "OK, I see. You take the two children back, and I'll be right back. "

There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, someone came to the family.

Wu Tao got up bleary eyed and found that it was all his father's set of people.

Three carpenter apprentices, plus several distant uncles as bricklayers. Wu Tao called them one by one and looked at them holding a pinberry. They were enthusiastic and happy.

Seeing that the preliminary preparations for the farmhouse manor plan have been on track, Wu Tao returned to school again.

The countdown next to the blackboard has turned into '16' days, and the exam atmosphere in the classroom is becoming more and more tense.

After two weeks of intensive training in composition, Wu Tao has adapted to rapid composition on various topics. He practiced his compositions and even got the positive affirmation of the poisonous old class, which was explained in class as a model.

Therefore, there is only one missing item left - English listening.

As a reborn person, he has become extremely proficient in the application of English. Daily listening, speaking, reading and writing are nothing at all.

To his surprise, today's listening and pronunciation is mainly British pronunciation. This is very different from the American pronunciation he is used to.

In addition, in order to increase the difficulty, it especially integrates continuous reading, rising and falling tones, and even some slang accents.

This is deliberately difficult!

But there is no way. The selection mechanism of Huaxia middle school entrance examination and college entrance examination is to artificially set the difficulty threshold and form differentiated competition.

After thinking for a long time, Wu Tao had an idea in his mind.

English listening is an Rong's strong point. You have to ask her about it.

When she came back, she saw Zhao Li coming in with the latest confidant. Not only is she, there are several books in the classroom, which are being wildly circulated and watched.

Thinking that his article has finally become type, if he is not excited, it is a lie.

Even if this magazine is crazy and criticized in the future, it is even jokingly called an outstanding representative of stall literature.

But it can't stand its current momentum. It is wildly sought after and loved by teenagers eager for life experience and adventure. It has even become a sacred "Enlightenment" book in the hearts of some teenagers.

After a burst of friction, Zhao Li squeezed into the inner seat.

The slender hand fanned the breeze and rolled up the hair at the Temples: "it's dangerous. This is the last one. You can't buy it later."

"So tight?"

"Of course!" Zhao Lijing settled down, turned directly to the cover article and read it attentively.

A few minutes later, Zhao Liyi said, "are there any awards? I voted for your article as the best in this issue, okay? "

Wu Tao waved his hand and said, "there's little hope. You'd better not waste the postage."

"Bonus 6000, how to try!"

At the same time, Shen Bohong left the academic affairs office and walked towards the class. Passing by a blackboard newspaper on the way, he swept his sharp eyes and suddenly heard an eerie sound.

Choice is more important than effort

The subject is no stranger to him. Not long ago, Wu Tao told him that his voice was still in his ears. So he stopped to read it. After reading it for a while, he couldn't help smacking and saying, "this paragraph is novel, which adds a lot to the whole prose."

Finally, his eyes fell on the inscription: excerpted from bosom friend, May 1995.

An excerpt from such a magazine? Shen Bohong has a feeling of regret. In his opinion, as a curiosity hunting magazine loved by housewives, the articles of confidants are not very literary.

Its biggest selling point is to record extramarital affairs, homicides and the tragic past of stars in the form of documentary literature reports, so as to meet the current needs of all sentient beings to spy on other people's private life, so as to achieve the purpose of self psychological healing.

Now, as soon as this article is published, it immediately adds a lot to the local literature! Speaking of, this article can be called a clear stream in stall literature.
