Chapter 28 Going to Xiao Zhijie's House
For Feng Yiping, junior high school life was as monotonous, boring and regular as before. There is no entertainment, music classes are often occupied by other teachers, and the same goes for physical education classes. It is good to have one session a week.
The sad thing is that there is nothing to do in the physical education class. There is no venue and no equipment. Except for teaching radio gymnastics and turning in place, the physical education teacher allows everyone to use the rest of the time. Of course, don't disturb other classes. normal teaching.
Many students consciously or unconsciously returned to the classroom, and some came to the playground with books. For them, teachers urge them to study, they don't like it, they feel bitter, tired and stressed. But if they are really asked to do nothing, they are not used to it, even if they are pretending to have a book.
To read, or not to read, books, always have one in hand.
Feng Yiping didn't find it funny when he saw the classmates around the ping-pong table, each with a book in his hand. It must be sick! Abuse addiction?
This weekend, Feng Yiping did not go to his grandfather's house. He asked Wang Changning to give his grandfather a message. He went to Xiao Zhijie's house.
When leaving the school, he asked Xiao Zhijie to wait a moment and ran towards the canteen. When Xiao Zhijie saw him come out with two bottles of wine, he immediately quit. "What did you buy these for?"
Feng Yiping took his shoulder and walked forward, "It's the first time to go to your house, of course it's not good to empty your hands. It's a courtesy, you know it, kid."
Xiao Zhijie stood still, "You're not an adult, where did you get such courtesy? Besides, your parents are not at home, where did you get the money to buy this? Ask your grandfather for it? Then let Changning bring this wine to you. Let him!" As he spoke, he was about to chase after Wang Changning.
Feng Yiping quickly grabbed him, not to mention, Feng Yiping is really asking himself according to adults in many aspects now. He is really not used to it when he comes to the door for the first time like this, but empty-handed.
"My grandfather doesn't drink. This money is sent by my parents to give me pocket money. It's useless for me to take it at school. I didn't buy this wine for you, but for your dad. Don't worry about it. "Feng Yiping continued, "If you go to my house, your parents will also ask you to bring something, right?"
Xiao Zhijie said, "Then you don't need to buy two bottles, one bottle is enough."
The wine is produced by the winery in the county. It is considered a good wine locally. It costs three yuan for a bottle and six yuan for two bottles. At this time, five yuan is generally considered a high gift, so the gift of two bottles of wine is passable. If it wasn't for last week, when my grandfather gave him another five dollars, he would not be able to buy two bottles of this kind, but one bottle is not good. There is a common saying here that when you visit someone else's house, you only bring one thing with you. Very impolite behavior.
Xiao Zhijie also said, "I'm going to return a bottle."
Feng Yiping let him go, "As you like."
The physical education teacher's wife is a Pixiu and can't get in or out. Of course, it's not impossible to retire at all. For example, if Zhang Qiuling bought something and wanted to retire, since his father was the vice-principal, then of course it was a no-brainer, and he would retire immediately. Xiao Zhijie and Feng Yiping don't have that face yet.
Xiao Zhijie's family is halfway up the mountain. This is a small village with about 20 families, which is relatively rich. Because the mountain where they are located is the highest mountain in the town and the mountain with the best vegetation in the town. Trees with thick waists are common in the mountain, the mountains are high and dense, and there are many products. . The road passes by the foot of the mountain, and the things you pick up are also easy to sell. Push the wheelbarrow to the foot of the mountain, and then you can catch the car in the town.
Feng Yiping's first impression was that the firewood they burn here is very good. The firewood piled on the open space in front of Xiao Zhijie's house was bundled in bundles, each thicker than his thumb, like those small shrubs and thatch that Feng Yiping cut down during his summer vacation. They absolutely don't want it here.
It was all the same. The family had already prepared the meal, waiting for Xiao Zhijie to come home from school. Knowing that Feng Yiping was coming this week, Xiao Jianping was also waiting at home. When they heard the voice, they greeted them at the door.
Feng Yiping called, "Uncle, aunt."
Xiao Zhijie's mother and Mei Qiuping have the same surname. They knew each other when they were girls. She also drank Feng Yiping's full moon wine. "Yiping is here. She's so big. You can't recognize me if you meet me on the road. How is your mother now?"
Seeing the thing in his hand, "you come as soon as you come, what are you bringing with you?"
Feng Yiping said, "It's nothing, just a little thought."
Xiao Jianping took Xiao Zhijie's schoolbag, "Okay, go and sit in the room, the meal is ready. Xiaojie, take Yiping to wash your face. Yiping, don't be polite, be like your own."
Xiao Zhijie took Feng Yiping, took a towel and a basin to the laundry tub outside the house to wash his face, and he talked to Xiao Jianping in the house, "Qiuping has always been in bad health, and she always spends money on medical treatment. It seems that it is very difficult at home. This time I come here. With two bottles of wine, are you afraid that I will underestimate her?"
Xiao Jianping said, "You're thinking too much. It's a courtesy. It's fine. When you leave tomorrow, just take two more expensive ones and return them."
The lunch is really rich, not only meat, but also fish and chicken. Xiao Jianping and his wife kept adding food to Feng Yiping, "Don't be polite when you get home, eat more."
Before the change, Feng Yiping would still be a little bit reluctant to let go, and he always had to be humble. Now he is different. It's time to be polite when eating. Therefore, he should eat meat and eat meat, and he should eat and eat. Of course, he can't use every chopstick with meat.
The same goes for Xiao Zhijie. He hadn't eaten his family's food for a week. Today's food was good. After a while, the two of them wiped out more than half of the rice in the pot.
Xiao Zhijie fucking laughed, "Fortunately I cooked two liters of rice."
Xiao Jianping opened a bottle of wine brought by Feng Yiping, poured himself a drink by himself, and laughed when he heard the words, "Every time you go home from vacation and see that he can eat so well, I can also eat an extra bowl."
Feng Yiping said, "My parents also said that now I eat more alone than both of them."
Xiao Zhijie fucking said, "Now we need to eat more. Look at you, you are so thin."
Feng Yiping said, "My mother always asks me, where did I eat so much, and the meat doesn't grow at all."
Xiao Jianping said, "Some people just don't gain weight, so that's fine."
Feng Yiping and the others sat at the table and waited for Xiao Zhijie's parents to put down their chopsticks before going to the village to play. This was also a courtesy.
In fact, there is nothing to do in the village, and there is nothing to see on TV. Xiao Zhijie has a cousin who is studying at the TV University in the county. There are some magazines at home. His cousin only comes back once a month. When he was away, Xiao Zhijie came over with a few magazines. "Ban Yue Tan", "Legends of Modern and Ancient", and "Story Meeting", of course, are not from the same month.
He flipped through it, and among them was a very old "Legend of the Present and Ancient", which serialized "Spring Snow Bottle", which was the sequel to "Jade Jiaolong". "Yu Jiao Long" seems to be a reference, or something like that, plagiarizing Wang Dulu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" by many of the five masters of the Northern School. It is almost the same thing. Tiger Hidden Dragon is based on Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
The story "Spring Snow Bottle" was read to Feng Yiping and her sister by Mei Qiuping in the evening, but he didn't expect to read it now, so of course he chose this book.
It is very beautiful, it should be said that it is an absolute masterpiece in our mainland martial arts novels, but the warm sun was shining, and Feng Yiping fell asleep at some point.
When Xiao Zhijie woke him up, it was almost four o'clock. He wiped his saliva, "It's so late, so hurry up and do your homework."
This week, Chinese, mathematics, English, and physics have all left homework. The composition can be written at school tomorrow afternoon. The other homework must be done today, because tomorrow morning they will go to the mountain to collect persimmons.
The dinner table was too greasy, so they simply brought two high chairs and sat on the large wooden cabinet where the grain was placed to do their homework. There are not many questions, and it is not difficult. Feng Yiping writes quickly, but Xiao Zhijie is a little absent-minded. Feng Yiping joked, "What's the matter? I'm not used to not having Zhang Qiuling by my side, right?"
Xiao Zhijie threw the eraser at him, "What did you say? Don't let my parents know."
Feng Yiping asked again, "Then you are not afraid of being known by Principal Zhang?"
Xiao Zhijie's neck froze, "I didn't do anything, what's there to be afraid of."
"Comrade Xiao, you said Zhang Qiuling and Huang Jingping, which one do you like?"
Xiao Zhijie whispered, "In comparison with Zhang Qiuling, Huang Jingping is the most beautiful in the class."
"Haha," Feng Yiping laughed out loud, quite frank.
"Did you hand them a note when you were in elementary school?"
"I was in the same class with Huang Jingping at the time, and Zhang Qiuling was in another class. I didn't hand Huang Jingping a note. Other students in the class wrote it, but Huang Jingping ignored it." Xiao Zhijie said.
"I can also see that Huang Jingping is a girl who studies very hard. She puts her studies first. If she wants to have a good impression of you, you must first have good grades, and you can't have worse grades than her."
"What you said makes sense." Then Xiao Zhijie's homework speed increased significantly.
Because Feng Yiping was there, Xiao Zhijie's parents came back early in the afternoon and arrived home before five o'clock.
At dinner, Xiao Zhijie's mother asked, "Yiping, what are your parents doing in the provincial capital?"
Feng Yiping said, "After collecting the chestnuts, they went to the provincial capital. My uncle found a place. They sold fried chestnuts with sugar, and they didn't come back until a few years ago."
"Sugar fried chestnuts?"
"Yes, it is to fry raw chestnuts and river sand together, and add oil and sugar. The provincial capital has already sold this. You know the situation of my family. Originally, my foundation was very weak. My mother owed money for medical treatment and building a house. I have a lot of debts, and after hearing my uncle talk about it, my parents wanted to try it, anyway, they have chestnuts at home."
"Oh, it turned out to be like this, what about now?" Xiao Jianping asked.
"It's okay. Now, on average, I can buy more than ten kilograms a day, and I can make a lot of money per kilogram, which is better than farming at home." Feng Yiping said.
"In this way, you can earn three or four hundred yuan a month, right? That's not bad." Xiao Jianping said, he was a little surprised, but not moved. In addition to farming, Xiao Jianping also learned the technique of growing tuckahoe. Depending on the location, he planted tuckahoe in the mountains. Like last year, the tuckahoe sold for nearly 3,000 yuan. In the countryside, this income is very good.
Feng Yiping said, "They are also forced to work at home to farm the land. They work so hard that they don't have much money left in a year. Some debts cannot be repaid after three or four years. , and I've been wanting to read more, so they want to go out and try it while they're still young."
Xiao Jianping said, "What I'm saying is, you must read more books. Xiaojie, you must also remember that you only need to read, and we will find a way. As long as you are admitted to the university in the future, we will Even tightening your belt as a parent will make you read."
Feng Yiping said, "Uncle said that our generation must at least go to a university, otherwise it will be difficult to find a job in the future."
Xiao Jianping said, "It's not a big deal to go to university now. Many people are studying for master's and doctoral degrees, and they even study abroad. I heard from Xiaojie that you have good grades in Yiping, and you are the first in your grade, right? I'm sure there's no problem in middle school, it's Xiaojie, I'm worried that he won't be able to get into high school, so Yiping, you need to help him more often."
Feng Yiping said, "It's nothing to be the first in the grade now. There are still more than two years in junior high school. Maybe Zhijie will come before me next semester. Zhijie is very good at math and is always the top few in the class. ."
Xiao Jianping said, "I also know that he can't be said to be smart, but he is definitely not stupid, just not very careful."
Feng Yiping said, "No uncle, Zhijie is now more diligent than me. It's hard to say about exams. Some people are usually very good. During exams, they always make mistakes when they play on the spot."
Xiao Zhijie's mother said, "I've heard such a thing. Some children usually get good grades, but they always make mistakes in exams. I heard that they fainted during exams."
Feng Yiping said, "Yes, I heard that ambulances are parked outside the school during the college entrance examination in the city."
Xiao Jianping laughed after hearing this, "So it's not easy to read a book now. It's even harder than our farming, and we're going to go to the hospital at every turn."
Feng Yiping said, "That's why I told my family before the start of school that when I get to the middle school entrance examination, if I don't pass the exam and fail to get into the first high school, I want to repeat it." This is what Feng Yiping wants to talk about today.
Xiao Jianping immediately agreed, "What I said is that if we don't pass the test by then, we will also repeat it, and now there are quite a few repeating students, some of whom are repeating for three or four years." After hearing this, Feng Yiping felt relieved.
