Chapter 2 Reading is not the only way out
Feng Yan sat in Grandpa Dong's rocking chair with his eyes closed and his thoughts on his face. Grandpa Dong, who was still watering flowers next to him, saw Feng Yan being so abnormal, and went over and asked a few words: "Is there no going to evening self-study? Have you quarreled with Xiaojun? Can you tell grandpa?"
Feng Yan stood up and pulled Grandpa Dong to sit down, "Grandpa, I don't want to take the college entrance exam anymore."
"I remember when you were in your first year of high school, you,,,"
"I have tried my best in the past six months. I really don't want to get into an ordinary university and cause my parents, grandpa, can you understand?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I haven't stabilized for a few years of work. At that time, I have no money. I have aged and have no diplomas with high value. What should I do? I might as well leave school as soon as possible and reduce the burden on my family first. My father is still young now, and my father can start a business together. I don't believe that I will be worse than those who have just graduated in ten years. Grandpa, I believe that studying is not the only way out for our rural children." Seeing Feng Yan's attitude so firm, Grandpa Dong couldn't say anything, "Child, Grandpa still hopes you will think carefully again. This time your decision is directly related to your future direction. I don't want you to make a decision when your mind is hot. Don't hurry to leave. Think carefully for a few days. It's better to discuss it for your parents, okay."
"I can do it, then I'll go to evening self-study"
Feng Yan walked out the door and did not go to the school direction, but went to the canal park. He wanted to be alone and quietly. He was afraid that he would be too impulsive and made the wrong choice. The mobile phone in Feng Yan's jeans was buzzing and vibrating, pulling Feng Yan back to reality, "Hey, mom, what's the matter?"
"Son, are you going to review these days?"
"fine"
"Your dad is very busy these days. He has been working alone for two days and one night. He has to work overtime again in a few days. I'm afraid he can't bear it. You can help him this weekend."
"Yeah, okay, where is my dad's construction site?"
"He is in the township and county where you uncle Li"
"Okay, I get it, I'll go on Saturday. My grandma is in good health, well, that's fine, okay, I know mom."
The phone call from his mother seemed to strengthen Feng Yan's determination to shake his mind. In fact, there is another reason he wants to drop out of school: he is afraid that his father will work hard all day long. If one day, he is very insecure now. He wants to be able to hold up the sky before his father can't do it.
The canal park at night is bright and the living atmosphere is very strong. People who come here for a walk have all kinds of characteristics but have common characteristics: happiness
In contrast, Feng Yan seemed out of place. A dejected boy strolled alone on the bank of the canal, aimlessly. The dark and tortuous road in front of him was like his life that was about to begin.
The thunderstorm started in the morning without any warning, and many students who did not bring rain gear were poured into sausages. Feng Yan and Yang Sao Heizimo were one of them. Lin Luo, who didn't go to class with them today, shouldn't be able to escape at the General Banxi Campus.
"This is really June. Heiziwen's face changes as soon as he says." Yang Sao stood behind the classroom and took out a hair dryer. He was blowing the clothes of the three people on the desk, but he didn't know that the danger had come. When he realized that there was someone behind him, he had been knocked down by a thick test paper.
"You dead flea, I can't find any pleasure in the morning. I'll kill you,,,"
The old saying goes well, don't be afraid of the coincidence you come long ago
"Oh, Heiziwen, what are you doing? You hurt me, Oh, come and help,,,,, you two have no consciences,,,," Yang Sao curled up on the ground and shouted, Feng Yan sat in his seat and played with his cell phone. Heizi silently flipped through the review materials and listened to the good show with a smile. Both of them ignored this guy who was self-inflicted.
"You Siberian Tiger Girl, you are so cruel to you. You two ungrateful wolves, I am enthusiastic about helping you blow clothes."
"You dead flea, isn't this my hairdryer? You,,,,," Heiziwen just grabbed the book next to him and wanted to smash Yang Sao, but Yang Sao quickly stopped him.
"I have something to say," Yang Sao pointed to the school uniform in the middle. "That's our second son Feng Yan. I'll give you the opportunity, hehe,,,,"
"You are smart." Heiziwen's lips raised up and threw a charming look at Yang Sao on the ground. He turned around and picked up the hair dryer with one hand and touched Feng Yan's school uniform. At this time, the "swift" seemed to be shy on Lin Daiyu's upper body. He was about to succeed, but suddenly came out from behind and pulled the school uniform away with a big hand, leaving Heiziwen standing there with a look of embarrassment. Yang Sao, who had just gotten up, smiled very relieved when he saw Heiziwen's twisted face, but he didn't want to get too close to the angry "tigress". Heiziwen was not a fuel-efficient lamp. She walked out of the classroom angrily and wanted to have a big fight with Feng Yan. This is a way for her to approach Feng Yan.
"Hey, Xiaojun, I'm resting this weekend, but I'm going to go to the construction site to help my dad. He can't do it alone. Let's do this. Next week, I'll pick you up during the summer vacation. Don't ask so much. When I meet, I'm telling you, don't worry, I'll pay attention. It's not the first time I've been to the construction site to help. Then I'll see you next week." Feng Yan hid on the rooftop and called his girlfriend Mi Xiaojun who was studying in the health school in the next county. Heiziwen, who was standing behind, could hear it clearly.
"We won't rest next week, why do you go to find her? You,,, do you really want to give up?" At this moment, Heiziwen didn't care about being jealous. She cared more about whether Feng Yan would drop out of school. He really didn't want to lose this boy he had liked for a long time.
"This is not called giving up, but a choice. Since I have chosen, I will not regret it. Heiziwen, I have always regarded you as a good friend, so I hope you study hard and don't affect yourself because of irrelevant things." Feng Yan didn't know why he could tell Heiziwen calmly today.
Feng Yan just walked to the door of the classroom and was called by the head teacher. The head teacher has always been good to Feng Yan, and his teacher's wife was also the vocal teacher in Feng Yan's middle school, so she has always been very good at getting along in private. It's good, let's take a chance to say goodbye to the head teacher.
"Feng Yan, come, sit there." The head teacher pointed to the stool next to him and signaled Feng Yan to sit down. "Why didn't I see you last night's self-study class? Is there anything wrong? You did a good job in this simulation exam and made great progress. If you work hard, there is no big problem for you to take a course. Don't be distracted. The next year is very important."
"Teacher Chang, I, I decided not to take the college entrance examination."
"If you don't take the college entrance exam, what do you mean? Nothing happens at home?" The head teacher knew that Feng Yan's family conditions were not very good. It was probably because of family problems in Feng Yan.
"It's nothing, I just don't want to study anymore. Teacher, I'm nineteen, I'm not a child anymore, I want to choose once by myself."
"Then you can't say that you don't study. Why are you studying for the past ten years? Are you just waiting to get into a good university and be able to make a name for yourself in the future?"
"You can make a name for yourself without studying!,,, Teacher, I have let you down. I'm sorry, I'll leave first."
Feng Yan quickly walked out of the office without waiting for the head teacher to react. He did not enter the classroom but walked out of the campus directly.
"This, if you don't read it, you won't read it. It's irresponsible and irresponsible. Is it just a joke in life?" The head teacher was very angry with Feng Yan's actions. He never expected that the students he was optimistic about could do such an extraordinary thing.
"Teacher Chang, why are you so arrogant? Several of our class have passed away."
"It's different. Your class is just a waste of time. If you leave, I'm a college student. What a pity."
"It's a pity that there is any way. Actually, I think the root cause is still in this education system. Look, students of this age from 1987 to 1991, especially in rural areas, were only eight years old when they were eight. They were seventeen or eighteen years old in the middle school entrance examination, and they thought more. Look at the current high school students. They are in love everywhere, and they compare food and clothing. Yanran is a small society. The teacher dares to turn against each other. This month, the police station went to our class to find someone three times. You said how can you read good books in this environment and atmosphere?,,,,,"
"Teacher Zhang, I'll call the students' parents first." Teacher Chang has long experienced the skills of the "lecturer" in front of him, and took the opportunity to get out of here quickly
"Hey, Teacher Chang, I haven't finished talking yet. I can't speak so hard. When I come back, we will continue to talk,,,"
Yang Sao just saw Feng Yan walking past the classroom and secretly called Feng Yan before he came back.
"Second, why did you go? You didn't call me, I was so bored." Yang Sao pressed tightly on the table with a textbook in front of his head. "What? Go and help your dad? You made your decision? Domineering, you don't say it anymore, be careful on the road, let's talk about it later." Yang Sao, who hung up the phone, wrote a note to Heizimo and told him that Feng Yan had decided to drop out of school.
In fact, Heizimo envies Feng Yan, envies him for his ability to do whatever he wants, and he lives in a single-parent family. His father died in a mine accident at the age of ten and left him with his mother to depend on each other. In recent years, he all hopes that his mother can run a tailor shop alone to support him. Therefore, the filial Heizimo makes every decision he has to put his mother first.
Feng Yan returned to the dormitory to pack up the work clothes and shoes he usually wore when he helped his father work, so he went to the station to take a bus to the township and county to find his father.
Along the way, Feng Yan was thinking about how to tell his father. I guess the head teacher had called his father now. Forget it, let it go. Feng Yan leaned against the window and closed his eyes and fell asleep.,
The weather was extremely stuffy after the shower, but the station was still crowded and very lively. Feng Yan bought two bottles of water at the entrance of the station and went out to get on a motorcycle to drive towards the construction site. Because the road leading to the construction site was crushed by heavy-duty vehicles, and it was very muddy after rain. Feng Yan could only get out of the car and walked along the roadside. Looking up at the construction site, he saw someone standing on the side of the main body that had just started to build the four or five floors. The light emitted by the steel bars when they were docked was extremely dazzling. Needless to say, that person was his father, because he was the only one who did the steel bar welding at that construction site, and he was considered a contractor's cleaning worker. Machines, tools and flux were all the father of the contractor on the construction site, and the father was only responsible for the work. Feng Yan jumped into the construction site, with thick mud sticking to his shoes, just like stepping on stilts.
"Feng Yan, come and help your dad again." A middle-aged man wearing a hard hat and a shabby work clothes in the steel bar work shed not far away shouted at Feng Yan with a smile and a smile.
"Yes, Uncle Liu, I'll make some pocket money." Feng Yan said hello and walked towards the main building under construction.
"Hey, I almost forgot, Uncle Liu, I'll use you one of the hard hats." He said that, and ran to the wooden box in the work shed and took a hard hat.
Feng Yan walked to the third floor and found a place with a large space. He took out his work clothes and changed into a bag with his clothes on his shoulders and walked towards the roof.
"Dad, I'll give it to you." Feng Yan took out the bottle of mineral water he bought at the station and handed it to his father from the bag and
"Your head teacher called me. What do you think? You want to work hard on the construction site like you."
My father put down the work in his hand and took the water handed over by Feng Yan and drank half of it in one sip.
"Stop doing it, it's time to have a meal soon, go and bring the flux over there."
"Your class teacher said that you have made a lot of progress in the exam this time, why can't you get there?" My father didn't say anything when he saw Feng Yan, "Don't worry, study hard, you are so tired. As long as you study hard, I will sell you my best."
"Okay, since I was in elementary school, you said that. I hate the most what you said. You are tired and sell me. I feel comfortable in school. I am so at ease. You know my grades are not particularly outstanding. If I get into a bad university, four years of tuition will have to empty our family and exhaust you. After graduation, I marry a wife and buy a house in another place. At that time, should you go to sell blood or I go to sell kidneys? I know that this is a path that is not wise. Why don't you change directions in time? You are in your forties now and are strong and strong. I am the same year now. We are both good at both of us and I will help you. We will definitely do better than me in the future. Maybe my classmates have just graduated. I have already made a personal appearance. Isn't that good?"
The father stopped the work in his hand and turned his head to look at his son standing not far away. He also looked at his son. He was fascinated by the hearing. The son had really grown up, had ideas, knew how to feel sorry for his father, and knew how to share the burden with his family. Although the father still wanted his son to finish college, he knew his children too well and finally pushed the decision-making power to Feng Yan's mother.
"You really decided? Let me declare first, I don't support or object, and go back and tell your mother that if he doesn't agree, you have to go back to class and prepare for the college entrance examination. Let's go out and eat."
Feng Yan was a little surprised on the father's answer. On the way, he was thinking about how his father was furious and how he taught himself how to study. Children from poor families had a way out only by studying and then rushed back to school. He was ready to have a big fight with his father and then went to Mi Xiaojun's place for a few days. Unexpectedly, this level passed so easily.
