Chapter 10 Old People, Old Things
The next day, Cheng An got up early, talked to Wang Guifang, and went to meet Cheng Li. The excuse had already been said last night: Cheng Li asked her to lead the way to get to know the city first, so as not to report that the school could not be found that day.
When children in rural areas study and go to school to report, parents rarely accompany them.
Cheng An first reported to the No. 4 Middle School in the city that year, he went there by himself. Before that, like Cheng Li, she had never been to the city at all.
Usually when I go to the venue, I will come to the venue to join in the fun. The veritable "country girl" is.
Cheng Shouqiang and Wang Guifang were also very enthusiastic. After hearing that she could find a place, she gave her tuition and 50 yuan of living expenses, and never asked about anything else.
In fact, where can Cheng An find it? People who have never been to the city have no idea if they just listen to it. Not to mention that Cheng An was only twelve or thirteen years old at that time, and he was a child.
She just heard Cheng Shouqiang and Wang Guifang complain that she couldn't leave if she had something to do on the day of registration, so she didn't want them to think she was in trouble.
Otherwise, how could Cheng An, a girl, go to high school smoothly?
One is that she has good grades and can earn face for the Cheng family.
One is that she is "sensible". In addition to asking for tuition and fees, she almost never causes trouble for Wang Guifang. If she is at home, she can also handle the housework at home.
Of course, there are also reasons why the coal price has increased in recent years and Cheng Shouqiang's salary has also risen sharply, so there is no shortage of the little cost of Cheng An's school.
Otherwise, Cheng An would never be able to study so smoothly. You can tell the situation of the children of the same age in the village.
Although it has been 2008, the outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes. Many people in Shangjing Village still have the same idea.
I think studying is useless, especially girls, who will get married sooner or later. Spending so much money to study is just a loss-making business. It is better to drop out of school early, go out to work, and earn money for the family.
When the girl gets older, she will earn a bride price, give her two quilts, and get married quickly. Whether her life is good or bad depends on the girl's own luck.
Cheng An liked a neighbor's sister who was very much liked when he was a child, but she was ruined for her life.
After graduating from junior high school, my family was not allowed to study anymore. Under the introduction of her grandmother's relatives, she went to Guangzhou to work with her fellow villagers. After that, she couldn't come back.
At home, there was a vicious rumor that she was unclean in Guangzhou and made money by %% of the money. The reason for her suicide was because the matter was exposed and she had no face to go home.
The neighbor's family not only did not protect her reputation after death, but also acted like a shared hatred of the enemy, spitting on her and cursing her with the villagers. They also said that their family did not have such shameless daughters.
In the end, the neighbor's house didn't even handle the funeral for her. He found a barren mountain from afar, dug a hole and buried her.
That year, the girl was sixteen years old and Cheng An was ten years old.
The familiar people disappeared all of a sudden. Cheng An was really confused at the time. She didn't believe any of the lumps of the rumored words in the village. When she heard Wang Guifang talk about them like a joke at home, she couldn't help but defend her words, but instead she was beaten hard.
From then on, she never mentioned the neighbor's sister before anyone else. No one knew the sadness in her heart.
Later, the neighbor moved out of the village and no one in the village said it. Only when I heard similar things occasionally, I would gossip from the old valley pile to prove it.
Now, it has been seventeen years since the incident. Cheng An was seventeen years old and was about to turn eighteen. She had already made her own conclusion about the truth about the matter back then. But the victim had been away for so many years, and no matter how entangled, it was useless to resent.
But she saw a fact clearly in this matter: Reading is the only opportunity to change her destiny!
So, she must go to school and study!
Fortunately, she was lucky. She went to high school smoothly, and later she got into college, completely turning her fate around.
But she was also sad. In the past, she had nothing but study. After graduating from college, she could not gain a foothold in a big city for a few years. She could only return to the city and earn some living expenses by writing articles.
It’s not as difficult as capital, but it’s not as good as it’s.
On the other hand, my peers in the village have already saved a lot of money because they went out to work early. Those who buy houses buy houses and those who buy cars look very comfortable.
So, she gradually became the negative textbook in the same village’s mouth.
Everyone smiled when they saw her, and the college student shouted. They turned around and spat and said, "Look, what's the use of reading so many books? After so many years, can't even afford a house? They can't get married! Even my boyfriend can't play with him!"
Cheng An listened a lot after returning to the city to all kinds of disdain and contemptuous remarks.
Because Wang Guifang also reads in her ears every day. She thinks she is stupid in studying and can't make a lot of money. She is in her twenties and doesn't play with her boyfriend...
"Sister, you are here!"
Cheng Li's cheerful voice interrupted Cheng An's thoughts.
"Good morning." Cheng An blinked, concealed the rolling emotions in his heart. Seeing the trolley in front of her, two buckets of different sizes were tied to it, and smiled: "I'll drag the trolley. You can hold it and your pocket."
"Okay." Cheng Li nodded gratefully and did not refuse. Although the trolley had wheels, it could save a lot of effort. The two buckets were not light, so she struggled to push them.
Seeing this, Cheng An didn't say anything more, dragged the cart and started walking towards the station. Because the road was uneven, it really took a lot of effort. Fortunately, he caught the morning bus at 6:30.
From Shangjing Village to the city, the ticket price per person is two yuan, and the ticket price is the same.
Cheng An did not ask Cheng Li to get the money, so he touched ten yuan (this ten yuan was saved from her living expenses) for the ticket seller, recovered four yuan, and sat down in the front row to facilitate the handrail cart.
The car was speeding, and half an hour passed quickly, and the city gradually entered Cheng An's eyes.
