The days passed under such diligent study and hard practice, winter went to spring, spring ended with the summer solstice, and in the blink of an eye, it was another summer. (The fastest update speed, remember this site to find this site)

In the summer of this year, I was ten and a half years old, and one day in the summer of this year, my family moved, bid farewell to the familiar village, bid farewell to the land that my ancestors had relied on for generations, and moved to the county seat.

Before giving this advice, my eldest sister had been attending the town's high school for a year.

Here's how it happened.

In our land, as I once said, only the countryside has primary and junior high schools, but there is no choice, and the children are small, so they can only study nearby.

But when I got to high school, there were more choices, there were high schools in the other two townships nearby, high schools in the towns in the farther places, and the best ones were high schools in the county seats.

My parents are people who pay attention to education, although they don't know a few big words, but they worship college students in their hearts, and they can't wait to cultivate a college student at home.

It just so happened that my eldest sister graduated from junior high school last year, and her grades were as good as ever, so it was no problem to choose any high school.

This is already the limit of what my parents can do, the quality of education in the township high school must not be compared with the town, and the quality of education in the town must not be compared with the county, but the county, do my parents dare to think about it?

At that time, my mother was thinking that my family composition was good, and my daughter's grades were also excellent, and maybe she would be able to go to college at that time, and it would be okay if she couldn't go to the county seat.

In the summer of '77, my eldest sister finished her first year of high school, and there was a policy spread across the country that was about to be implemented, that is, the college entrance examination was about to be resumed across the country.

This is undoubtedly a bombshell, exploded in everyone's heart, everyone understands that from now on, going to college, has nothing to do with ingredients, recommendations or anything, the only thing that can speak is grades.

That's it, my parents are confident in my eldest sister's studies, is this not the top ten in the class when she studies in high school in the town? However, my eldest sister was sad because of one of her classmates.

That classmate is a female classmate in the eldest sister's junior high school class, and her grades were ranked behind my eldest sister when she was studying in the past, but her family has the ability to get her daughter to study in the county seat, and the comparison is big this year.

When we got together during the summer vacation, my eldest sister found a problem, first of all, her learning progress lagged behind others, the details of knowledge were behind others, and even the mastery of knowledge was lagging behind others, and they also said that her grades in the class were only a little above average.

My eldest sister is excellent and arrogant, and she has always had a dream in her heart, which was influenced by my weak body when I was a child, that is, to become a doctor and go to medical university!

In this contrast, in the atmosphere of the resumption of the college entrance examination throughout the country, my eldest sister has no confidence in herself, and even panics.

The college entrance examination is taken by students all over the country, and I can't even compare with the middle school students in a county high school, so why take the test?

After a few nights of tossing and turning, my eldest sister mustered up the courage to find my parents; "Dad, Mom, can I go to the high school in the county seat? Wang Xiaomei, she is studying there, she"

Before my eldest sister finished speaking, my mother wondered: "Okay, why do you want to go to the county seat to study?" How expensive is that? ”

My dad was also strange: "The county seat is so far away, I'm afraid I can only come back once a month, and our family can't afford to go to the county high school." ”

My eldest sister is a sensible person, she knows the situation at home, and she also knows that there are younger brothers and sisters at home, and she can't be so selfish, so she never mentioned this matter again, and she didn't even mention the reason to my parents anymore.

Half a month passed like this during the summer vacation, and my eldest sister forced her mind and barely pretended to be fine, but she was obviously haggard.

My mother was careful, and when she saw this, she thought that the eldest sister was used to the town, and she was a little unaccustomed to the countryside, so she said to the eldest sister: "You and the second sister will go to the mountains for two days, right?" The air is good, the scenery is beautiful, Master Jiang will take you to hunt some wild things for two days. ”

Old man Jiang is 'fierce' to me, but kind to my two sisters, almost responsive, with them to catch birds and fish is very active, I guess because of my two sisters Shui Ling'er, to satisfy his penchant to see big girls, I am a man, I deserve to be 'abused'.

Mom said so, and the eldest sister really wanted to relax, so she took my second sister up the mountain.

When they came up, my room was given to them, and I had to sleep next to my master, but when my master slept at night, there was a snoring that thundered, and I couldn't sleep at all.

That night, I heard a woman crying.

"*** female ghost, she is too bold, even my master's territory dares to break in!" After experiencing too much, I have long lost the slightest fear, but I am excited in my heart, I sit up and kick the old man Jiang in the ass with a vengeance.

"Master, get up and catch the ghosts!"

Old man Jiang was sleeping sweetly, and he was startled by my kick and shout, and he slapped me together: "That ghost who doesn't have long eyes dares to run to Jiang Ye and me?" If I don't see a ghost, I'll arrest you as a ghost tonight. ”

In this case, I didn't dare to argue with him, so I hurriedly pulled him and said, "Really, Master, listen, there is a female ghost howling outside our house!" ”

When the old man Jiang heard this, there was really a faint cry, and he hurriedly dressed and led me out, but when he went out, he said: "This is not a ghost crying, I'm afraid someone is wronged." ”

I don't believe it, as soon as I went out, I turned on the flashlight and shone it around, and sure enough, I saw a shadow, and I knew it wasn't a ghost, and there was no misty feeling, and there was a clear shadow, and then take a closer look, the one who sat on the stone and cried, who was not my eldest sister?

Pulling the old man Jiang, I hurriedly ran over, looking at the eldest sister like this, I was also anxious, I didn't know what was wrong, and the words became on my lips: "Eldest sister, why are you so bold?" Dare to cry alone in the wilderness in the middle of the night, and you are not afraid that people will treat you as a ghost? ”

My eldest sister sobbed and said, "What are you afraid of? Don't look at which one lives here! ”

As soon as I heard my eldest sister say this, I felt a little relieved, this is my eldest sister's style! It shows that this sad thing has not yet reached the point where my eldest sister is looking for death and life.

It's just that the old man Jiang, in front of my sister, gave full play to his 'kindness' and said: "Girl, what is the matter with you, just say, can Grandpa Jiang not help you?" ”

Hearing Old Man Jiang's words, my eldest sister cried even more, and choked for a long time before saying to Old Man Jiang: "Grandpa Jiang, I may not be able to go to college." ”

Then, my eldest sister sobbed and told the old man Jiang everything about it, and the old man Jiang was silent for a while, and finally said, "You go to sleep well tonight, and wait for my news tomorrow." ”

Old man Jiang belongs to the kind of person who easily does not promise, but promises to make promises, my eldest sister knows his character, with his words, I suddenly felt a lot more relieved, thinking that I couldn't go to the county seat to study, I really slept with peace of mind.

Early the next morning, when the sky was just dawning and I was still doing the 'morning class', the old man Jiang went out, what was he doing when he went out, and he didn't tell me, so he threw out a sentence: "Breakfast and lunch will be solved by yourself." And so it went.

When he came back, it was already afternoon, and I was still soaking in the water, and my two sisters were catching fish by the stream.

But he didn't come back alone, and my parents followed him.

"All come into the house, I have something to say." Old man Jiang said very seriously.

Where did we dare to be lazy, we hurriedly cleaned up, and rushed to the house, and then our family sat in a bunch, all around the old man Jiang, and no one knew what he was going to say.

"In two days, your family will move to the county seat, I have already found someone to help contact my eldest sister's school, and the college entrance examination system will indeed be restored." Old man Jiang usually doesn't speak properly, but this serious remark almost scared our family to death.

My dad squirted out a sip of tea at that time, and he coughed so much that he couldn't speak for a long time.

And my mother hesitated for a while and said, "Moving to the county seat?" Coco, where did my family get the money? ”

"I have!" Old man Jiang stood up as he spoke.
