Han Xing Yuan Gu
The first chapter was given to Li Gu, and his heart slowly cooled down. (1)
When Shao Li decided to take her to meet his friend, he didn't consider other people and came directly to Li Gu.
Shao Li's small thoughts were not easy to tell Li Gu directly, so when Li Gu saw that he brought a girl, he was a little confused: "Is this also your fellow?"
Shao Li said no, someone else introduced him.
Li Gu's eyes were full of doubts: "Why do you even bring a girl to paint the wall?"
After being stunned for a moment, Shao Li expressed complete despair at his realization: "I said, are you a man? Have you developed yet?"
Li Gu opened his big ignorant eyes and reacted slowly.He has developed, and he has developed quite well, but his brain is not thinking about that.It's not like he doesn't understand this matter. There are many teachers with flashlights in the school's evening self-study to catch wild mandarin ducks everywhere. Li Gu probably understands.But this is not very attractive to him. What is there to talk about in love? Is learning important?
Shao Li looked at him and shook his head. When helping him choose dishes, he leaned over and lowered his voice: "I said, you won't be eighteen, you haven't?"
What, what?
Facing this question, Li Gu showed the fearless temperament of a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water: "What's love, it's not healthy, I'm studying." Shao Li opened his mouth wide, stared at him for a long time, and finally Youyou stood up for him sighed.
Start
Ji Hanxing is probably born with qualities that attract women. Since meeting him, Xiaowen has been saying that it would be great if Ji Hanxing was her younger brother.
Xiaowen is considered half of the city. Her mother didn't ask her to do much work when she was alive, and she had been a pampered daughter for several years, so her hands were very soft, like a young girl.Most of the other girls in the store are poor children who want to learn crafts to find a way out. They have worked at home for many years, and their ten fingers are covered with calluses.
And for beauty treatment, you need to touch the faces of those expensive wives back and forth. Calluses on your hands will hurt your face from scratching.Xiaowen's hands are nimble and soft, and some noble wives will ask her to make them, and they will not hesitate to reward her if they have rare things.She worked in the store for a few more years, and was highly valued by the proprietress, so she had a little more money than the other little sisters, and would bring gifts to Ji Hanxing from time to time.
Li Gu and Shao Li stood together, watching Xiao Wen squat down to try on Ji Hanxing's newly bought shoes, and asked him if he was comfortable, the heels didn't follow his feet, and he looked like his own sister.Shao Li was completely ignored by his potential girlfriend, so depressed that he touched his chin, and said to Li Gu, "Tell me, this kid will be fine when he grows up, why is he so good at pleasing girls?"
Li Gu looked at the two of them, Ji Hanxing put on the shoes and tried them on, and said to Xiao Wen with a frown, "Thank you sister."
This made Li Gu suddenly sour.
He actually couldn't tell what was wrong. After all, Ji Hanxing had always only been close to him, from a "friendship between life and death" to a relationship of mutual dependence. Now it's all right. Ji Hanxing also smiled sweetly at Xiaowen, which made him feel a little bit feel bad.It seems that such a deep affection can be replaced casually.But Li Gu felt in his heart that his idea was not upright, what does a child know at this age, of course he will be with whoever treats him well, why does he still care about this.
It is not a lie to say that female killers are not fake. The so-called 99 at the top can leave just at the bottom.The rabbit grandma in Ningchuan also dotes on Ji Hanxing very much.In the past, the old man still thought he was Teacher Ji's child, and always kept a certain distance from him, not daring to "ravage" him easily.Ever since the child was registered in the account of the village head, the serious Babai was regarded as Ning Chuan's child, and every time Grandma Rabbit saw him, she screamed heartily.
At that time, she heard the news that Ji Hanxing was going to school, and she was worried that her child would be bullied by her classmates if she went to junior high school at such a young age. She was worried, so she packed up a lot of Ningchuan specialties at home and asked him to bring them to the teacher.Before leaving, the close affection was nothing more than this, she said while packing the package: "Teacher, after drinking my tea, we must take good care of our little Xingxing. Little Xingxing is so good, you have to treat him well." , Grandma Rabbit will bring you tea in the future."
Ji Hanxing watched her move, and after a while, he ran over and hugged her leg, calling grandma.Grandma Rabbit was overjoyed.Tu Yuming looked at Li Gu suspiciously: "Brother, tell me, do I kiss or Xing Xing?"
Li Gu gave him an elbow: "What are you thinking, Xing Xing and I are biological."
Tu Yuming: "What? You can't marry a daughter-in-law, and you can still give birth to stars?"
Li Gu's nose turned high: "We have the same household registration now."
Tu Yuming cupped his hands: "It's amazing."
Grandma Rabbit is an elegant old lady. She didn't have expensive packaging to give as a gift, and she didn't want Ji Hanxing to lose face in front of others, so she cut out a few pieces of printed homespun cloth and packed it from the outside.The things packaged in this way are not only not rustic, but also reveal some elegant and smart ancient charm.When Ji Hanxing started school, he took it with him and sent it out.
Today happened to be the weekend, so it was good to catch the sun. Ji Hanxing was drying the quilt with Li Gu in the yard.Ji Hanxing suddenly remembered something, and asked Consultant Li: "Is there any tea for Granny Rabbit?"
Li Gu communicated with him without barriers, even if Ji Hanxing said a few words, he could understand what the other party was saying: "You said she brought you the one from school?"
Ji Hanxing nodded: "Well, our teacher still wants it. She doesn't want me to give it away, but she wants to buy some."
"Okay, let's call home later, or go back and bring it by ourselves." Li Guting readily agreed, "But I don't think the tea tastes good, does your teacher like it?"
Ji Hanxing nodded: "Yeah! The teacher said that to lose weight, she plans to drink it all the time."
Li Gu didn't understand the reason even more.He felt that every bite he ate was precious. In order to make Ji Hanxing grow taller and fatter, he had been working hard for the past few months, and he couldn't understand how anyone would work so hard to reduce what he ate.
But soon there was a sympathy, and Xiao Wen stepped into the yard without seeing anyone else, followed by Shao Li: "Lose weight? What can lose weight?"
Li Gu raised his forehead.Ji Hanxing smiled sweetly at her: "We are talking about a kind of tea from Ningchuan." Seeing them drying the quilt, Xiao Wen walked over, neatly stretched the quilt flat, patted it with hands to soften it, and kissed Ji Hanxing said: "What kind of tea?"
Ji Hanxing smiled and said, "I don't know the exact name, but the rabbit grandma in the village picked it up and dried it. She knows a little bit of herbal medicine and asked me to bring it to the teacher, but the teacher drank it and said it would make her lose weight."
Xiao Wen suddenly regained his energy: "Is it for takeaway? If you want to lose weight, can you give me some?"
"Okay, I'll give it to you directly." Li Gu and Ji Hanxing had no objection to this, Xiaowen was kind to Ji Hanxing, and bought him more than a bag of tea.
Li Gu called back to Ningchuan the first day, and the village head asked Tu Yuming to drive him into the city the next day, bringing him a lot of packaged tea.The few small dilapidated houses in the countryside were incomparable to the small courtyard left by Lao Ji. He looked around and didn't even dare to settle down, for fear of taking advantage of others.
Ji Hanxing understood his little embarrassment, and directly asked his father to drag him in.His life has just begun, but his father has already changed to the third generation. One counts as one, and he has to cherish it.
Seeing the room they cleaned up and the various textbooks on the desk, Tu Yuming showed envy.Before Tu Qingchuan left, he had said that he would be allowed to study, but now that there are no teachers in the village, the cost of studying in the city would be high, and Grandma Rabbit would definitely not be able to support it by herself.He can only stay at home without school and help with various housework, but every day under the supervision of Grandma Rabbit, he will take out the old textbooks taught by Ji Zhiqing and read it again, as if he has never left the classroom.
Li Gu was so rare that he was rough and fine, he rubbed his head like a puppy: "It's nothing, brother will teach you when I go back!"
Before leaving, Ji Hanxing took the money and gave it to Tu Yuming to take it back. The rabbit didn’t dare to accept it. Ji Hanxing said: "This tea should not be considered as a gift from grandma. I asked grandma to ask for it. Of course I have to give money." Only with the consent of the village head and Li Gu did he accept the money.The tea was delivered to the person who should be delivered, and the two children continued to live their own lives, commuting to and from school regularly every day, and quietly completed their growth in time.
Until Monday night, when Ji Hanxing was doing homework and Li Gu was washing clothes in the yard, Xiao Wen stepped in with a smile on her face. Today she didn't even bring Shao Li with her. When she saw Li Gu, she said, "Boy, you have to thank me."
Li Gu couldn't figure it out, his hands were still covered with soap scum, and his whole body was written with questions.The light in the yard is not very good, but Xiaowen's bright and proud smiling face was clearly illuminated, she said: "Boss Li, I sold [-] copies of tea for you, can you deliver it within this week? "
No one realized at the time that this was a start.
Reading room
Almost all good luck in the world is rooted in kindness and love.
Xiao Wen asked for the tea back instead of drinking it himself.The noble ladies in the store wanted to serve some tea when they came, so Xiao Wen made Ningchuan tea for them instead.Their tongues are very good, and someone asked if they drink something different.Xiaowen described the situation in this way, saying that she has a distant cousin who lives in a poor village. There is an old lady who knows Chinese medicine in the village, and she can go to the mountains to collect medicine and make medicine.She knows quite a few such recipes, but it's a pity that the mountain village is remote, and she has never had the opportunity to sell them to farther places.
Some story elements are naturally trustworthy, such as the old lady in the distant mountains, such as the occlusion caused by poverty, these expensive ladies had a good drink, and felt that the story was very credible, so they asked Xiaowen to make a reservation.
Li Gu couldn't believe it all the time: "What did you say, what do you mean?"
Xiaowen: "Didn't you tell me last time you came here that your village will still sell these in the market? I helped you find the way."
Li Gu couldn't close his mouth for a long time, Xiao Wen said with a smile: "But I didn't ask you the price first, and I didn't dare to say it myself." She reported the number and asked Li Gu if it would work.
Li Gu was almost stunned, and stammered: "Enough, enough, enough to buy a catty." They usually go to the market and drugstore to sell by the catty, and they can't save much in a year. This price was simply beyond his expectation, it was a bit...unkind.Xiaowen shook his head, and said to him: "When I was selling skin care products, our proprietress told me that these people can enter the store, which shows two things. One is that they are really rich, and the other is that they are willing to work in these places. Spending money. That’s what merchants do when they buy and sell things. As long as your stuff is good, you can tell them clearly that it’s not a bad thing. Besides, do you know how much a piece of tea wrapped like this in the city sells for? ?"
Of course Li Gu could only shake his head ignorantly.
Xiao Wen laughed. Ji Hanxing made the comparison earlier. She didn't think there was anything cute and amiable about a big boy like Li Gu. Seeing his silly appearance today, she couldn't help reaching out and stroking his head. .The boy in front of him was startled, very much like himself when he first came to the city to make a living.
It was the wonder of one life over another.People who have been struggling for survival suddenly get a glimpse of the bias of life. At first they are shocked and puzzled, and then they may be frustrated and angry. Finally, they realize that this "unfairness" is the normal state of life, just like never sharing Good luck, never evenly distributed smooth life.
When Xiao Wen was working in a beauty salon, she often helped her boss sell cosmetics and skin care products, and she could get quite a commission for selling a set.She was already familiar with this form, and it was only then that she thought of selling Ningchuan's camellia in this way.In addition to the [-] copies that have already been sold, the proprietress also agreed to put some on the display cabinet in the store, so Xiao Wen asked Li Gu to get a total of [-] copies to try.
With such a big order, I really have to go back to Ningchuan next weekend.
As a result, Granny Rabbit panicked when she heard it: "How can it work? With such a high price, how can anyone want it? I'm not trying to lose weight, but it can serve as a supplement."
The old lady is an honest person, she spends her whole life on herbal medicines but dare not say that she has the ability to cure diseases with medicines.It is good to grow these things in the mountains, but they are not as evil as they think. If a person can lose weight just by drinking tea while lying still, it must be a laxative.When the village chief thought about it, he also felt that it made sense, and led the whole house into a moral dilemma.
Li Gu and Ji Hanxing glanced at each other, the elder's reaction was unexpected but also reasonable.
Ji Hanxing blinked his eyes: "Grandma Rabbit, this price is not expensive in the city. It took you a lot of time to pick these medicinal tea leaves, dry them, and then make the tea."
Grandma Rabbit was very embarrassed: "But I'm fine if I'm idle at home, this, this can't be counted as money."
Li Gu sighed: "That can't be said that way. If someone asks you to help him with this job, do you want money? Just say that you, the homemade cloth wrapped in tea, also need money. Before you Jin said they were all packed in plastic bags, how could they be so delicate and beautiful.”
Grandma Rabbit whispered: "This is the cloth I found at home, and it doesn't cost money."
Li Gu was really helpless, so he followed her up and asked her: "Then you don't spend money to buy these homemade cloths? You think one or two pieces of cloth are worthless, but if you want to make thirty or eighty pieces, what can you do?" No money?" Grandma Rabbit got stuck for a long time, as if he was right.In the end, Li Gu assured her again and again that no matter what the sales of these teas were, he would not do anything wrong, nor would he make black-hearted money, so Granny Rabbit was completely relieved.
Eighty servings of tea leaves was not a small amount, and she couldn't pack them all by herself. The whole weekend, with the help of the village head's family of three, managed to make the things before Li Gu and the others entered the city.Li Gu said to her quite far-sightedly: "I will take these away and try them out first. If you are idle at home, you can dry some more tea ingredients, just in case you can use them."
In this way, they set off with a full load of Ningchuan specialty tea.
On the bumpy mountain road, Li Gu still took out his exercise book to review and prepare for the content of the math competition.Ji Hanxing stared at the dark spots under his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, did you spend more time on the weekend?" Li Gu smiled at him, but he yawned before his smile even opened. Make him look tearful.He said to Ji Hanxing: "It's okay, brother is a genius." Ji Hanxing's little nose wrinkled: "Go to sleep for a while, brother Yuming is driving the car, I will call you when I get to the city."
Li Gu said he wasn't sleepy, but he fell asleep on the tea pile after a while.He has a lot of things going on recently, Jiying selected him to participate in the mathematics competition, and sent him a thick stack of reference materials.Inspired by Xiao Wen, he became interested in the matter of tea, and went to the reading room to find a lot of books to read.
The Jiying teaching building is very grand, and there is a huge reading room inside, where most newspapers and magazines on the market can be found.Li Gu found business-related content, and even dug out the outdated content, learning to see how other people do business.When people grow up, they will probably experience a moment, as if they are suddenly opened up to the two channels of Ren and Du, and the problems that bothered them before suddenly become clear.The businessman's experience in the magazine made Li Gu suddenly discover that the road of studying he is currently taking does not conflict with his Ningchuan.
——He does not have to put aside his background and growth experience in order to become a good student coming out of the assembly line.In fact, a person's life must be rooted in the land where he grew up, and under the combined influence of the acquired environment and his own factors, a unique person is created.
The ideas in these business magazines, together with the idle books that Xu Jiwen gave before, made Li Gu suddenly enlightened.It's not that he abandoned Ning Chuan and wants to become a scholar who doesn't touch the dust. He can use what he has learned to do something for his Ning Chuan.
The more Li Gu thought about it, the more excited he became, and wanted to borrow the relevant books back to read.As a result, the administrator in the reading room refused, and looked at him with a very strange expression, saying that the books here are not for loan, have you never read them and no one else has touched them?Only then did Li Gu suddenly realize that this spacious and bright reading room has always been the coolest place in the entire teaching building, and few students except him would come.This has long been a consensus, and his behavior at the moment is like a silly boy who doesn't understand etiquette at all.
Li Gu went out dejectedly, and met Mr. Wei, who smiled at him very kindly: "It's Li Gu, what are you doing here, and the exam doesn't take these things."
Seeing that the acquaintance regained some enthusiasm, Li Gu replied very smoothly: "Come to broaden your knowledge and read extracurricular books." If it was Xu Jiwen, he would probably follow along and ask what he was looking at, and then talk about everything with him go down.
However, Mr. Wei slowly restrained his expression: "Li Gu, one of Jiying must win this competition. Do you understand?"
Li Gu didn't understand.
He froze for a while, and finally read something from Mr. Wei's expression that he was about to forget: he was bought, and it was his job to win the prize.
But things in this world are like flowing water
The night is deep.
In front of Li Gu were the type questions for the competition, and the lampshade of the old desk lamp was hot.He held the pen and nodded, his eyelids were too heavy to open.If ordinary textbook knowledge is the basic education for everyone, then competitions are actually reserved for geniuses.There were two questions that he hadn't figured out the solution to. Li Gu was sleepy, but he didn't dare to indulge his drowsiness easily.He knew very well that if he couldn't do it, Jiying would feel that the money given to him was wasted.
Li Gu was originally a very blunt rock, and it was because of his bluntness and ignorance that he was able to move forward without distraction.But things in this world are like flowing water, constantly polishing people.Now his "blunt" shell is suddenly broken, and it will soon be revealed whether the inside is exquisite or fragile.His slightly worn heart told him: he went to Jiying, not as a student waiting to be educated, but to win awards and increase the rate of admission.
This cognition made him feel heavy, and he made up his mind to die with the problems that he couldn't solve.However, as sleepiness grew stronger, those black and white words still uncontrollably became blurred in front of his eyes.I know every word, and after combining them, the brain has no room to think about what they mean.
Footsteps sounded.
Ji Hanxing walked in with slippers on, and looked at him quietly for a moment.
Then he walked over and woke Li Gu awake. Ji Hanxing's tone was flat but filled with indescribable emotions: "Go back to sleep."
Li Gu rubbed his eyes, his eyes were still hazy, his expression softened the moment he saw Ji Hanxing in front of him, but his tone was still a bit vague: "Xing Xing, why are you here? Go back to sleep and be careful not to catch a cold."
Ji Hanxing stared at him intently. Li Gu was sitting, but Ji Hanxing was a little taller than him, in a condescending posture.Ji Hanxing didn't answer his words, and repeated again: "Go back to sleep."
He pursed his lips, looking unhappy.The little boy in junior high school showed signs of being awkward. Li Gu didn't understand the reason, and smiled at him habitually with a flattering smile: "Go back quickly, I will come after I finish writing these two questions."
Ji Hanxing looked at him with deep eyes, and then swiftly reached out to extinguish the old desk lamp.The room was suddenly dark, and Li Gu suddenly froze.After a while, my eyes adapted to the environment, and I could see that the light in the bedroom outside was on, and a little light came over, faintly outlining the outline of the furnishings in the house.
Li Gu didn't rush to turn on the light, he knew that Ji Hanxing must be angry.The junior high school boy's tone was firm and could not be refuted: "Go back to sleep, I will ask you to get up and write the topic tomorrow morning." As if sensing what Li Gu was going to say, Ji Hanxing interrupted him first: "I will make breakfast, stay Time to do your homework, now go back to sleep."
Li Gu got down from his seat in a timely manner, and wanted to hold him.As a result, the little boy was very assertive, turned around and left first, and didn't even think about waiting for him.Li Gu was afraid that he would be tripped by something because he couldn't see the environment clearly, so he was about to speak, but he staggered.Ji Hanxing turned his head when he heard the sound, Li Gu smiled at him with luck in his heart, Ji Hanxing's expression did not change, he turned around and raised his feet in one go, Li Gu could only follow up with nothing to do.
Ji Hanxing being angry is something that makes him nervous, but watching Ji Hanxing angry makes him feel amused.In this hateful conflict, Li Gu dispelled a little bit of the depression in his heart.
For the time being, the two of them are still crowded into one room for rest, and the study room is specially used for homework, and Ji Zhiqing's room is temporarily untouched.Li Gu rubbed Ji Hanxing's feet warm and stuffed them into the quilt, and then carefully tucked the quilt up for him.Ji Hanxing was a little awkward and didn't want Li Gu to do this, but he was not as strong as Li Gu for the time being, so he could only passively accept the services of the big brother surnamed Li.Li Gu asked him tentatively in a low voice: "Why don't I move out, is it because I study too late every day and disturb you? You won't be able to rest well."
With his back turned to him, Ji Hanxing was silent for a long time, Li Gu felt that he might not want to talk to him anymore, at this moment Ji Hanxing said quietly: "Don't talk about it, I'm sleepy. "
Li Gu was also sleepy, and when he touched the quilt, he found that the tiredness that he had ignored earlier surged, and he quickly closed his eyes.Those fears and frustrations of not being able to write the competition questions were swept into a dreamland together.There is still a long night to rest, and there is still tomorrow to look forward to, and suddenly I feel that what troubled me at that time was a small problem.
The next day, Li Gu and Ji Hanxing almost woke up. Ji Hanxing stared at him and went into the study to do the questions, and then he went into the kitchen in an orderly manner.There was a greasy sound coming from the kitchen, Li Gu was afraid that Ji Hanxing would be hurt, so he deliberately went over to take a look, but as soon as he went out, he was "stared" back by Ji Hanxing who heard the noise, Li Gu shrank his neck, showing no dignity Go back and continue to struggle.
After a night of sleep, his brain seems to have recovered. He had almost no obstacles to write out yesterday's topics, and found two solutions for one of them, one simplified and one complex.After Li Gu closed the exercise booklet, he realized that there was not much time left. After sorting out his thoughts, the difficulty was that the steps were cumbersome.He hurriedly stuffed his things into his schoolbag and stepped out of the room. He saw that Ji Hanxing was already sitting upright on the small dining table, with a pot and two bowls in front of him. At first glance, it looked like that.
Ji Hanxing's face was solemn, and he made a "please" gesture like a little adult. Li Gu subconsciously obeyed him, sat down quickly, and looked at the contents of the container... Li Gu gasped.
So that morning, Li Gu, an older high school student, and Ji Hanxing, a young boy from junior high school, ate burnt black poached eggs and noodles.A little more life experience.
Catch the rain from the gods
When Li Gu gave Grandma Rabbit the tea money he got from Xiaowen, the old man's gratitude was beyond words.He felt that he couldn't bear such a solemn thank you. To be honest, the actual selling price was higher than this, but it was Xiaowen who helped sell it, so he also gave her some money for each bag-this is the commission mentioned in the book.
Grandma Rabbit quickly nodded to show that she understood: "I just don't know how to say your fancy names. I understand the truth. You can't ask people to do things for you for nothing. This is etiquette." She then quickly counted out a few and gave them to Li Gu: "You take this too." Li Gu didn't ask for it, but he was still involuntarily stuffed.Grandma Rabbit withdrew her hand and waved at him with small movements. When Li Gu came over, she leaned into Li Gu's ear and asked: "This... Will there be anyone in the future?"
She asked very timidly, as if she regarded this good luck as a limited-time gift from God. Sometimes she should be grateful, and sometimes it was reasonable, and she felt ashamed to say even this hope.Li Gu's heart ached when he heard that, and he smiled heartily at her: "Of course, they put it in your store, but many people can see it, and someone will buy it."
Grandma Rabbit said repeatedly that she wanted to send Tu Yuming to school in the city: "I will send it to the place where you studied before, so that he can have a book to read, and he can make a living by himself in the future." Li Gu agreed.At the beginning, Ji Zhiqing was responsible for his transfer. He didn't know how to do these procedures for the students. He thought that he might have to find Xu Jiwen after he went back.
After Li Gu finished speaking with Grandma Rabbit, he saw Rabbit's eyes reddened, and his tone was questioning: "Did my grandma ask you to help me transfer schools?" Li Gu said yes.The rabbit wiped his eyes, and even wiped his unstoppable snot: "I'm not going." Li Gu said "hey": "Hey, I said you have a temper, why don't you go, why don't you listen? People persuaded..." The rabbit's eyes became redder, Li Gu suspected that the rabbit spirit was going to show up on the spot, so he gradually stopped talking.Tu Yuming dragged him to the back of the house with brute force—there were bitter gourd slices drying all over the floor.Tu Yuming said: "My grandma drinks this every day. She couldn't afford the medicine for lowering blood sugar, and she was reluctant to prick herself with needles. She didn't dare to eat just drinking this. I don't study, and all I spend on studying is hers." life-saving money."
Li Gu has always felt that Ji Hanxing is the kind of child who can be loved by others.But when Tu Yuming was crying in front of him, he was also moved.The small desk at the foot of the wall is where Tu Yuming reads and writes. The book is almost torn, and the draft book is full of handwriting.Li Gu Neng recalled that when he was still "supervising" at the back of the Ningchuan classroom, he saw Tu Yuming shaking his head and following Ji Zhiqing's study.If Tu Yuming didn't want to continue reading, why would he cry?
Li Gu's expression slowly became serious.Poverty, disease, death... Li Gu has never felt so clearly that his Ningchuan is actually composed of these things like now, like a recurring nightmare, and no one can jump out of it.
He was frustrated and frustrated by this, and for a moment he wanted to tell Tu Yuming, who was crying out of breath, that he couldn't control it.He was born with such an original sin, but what did he do wrong?He has been working hard in life, but what life does not hesitate to throw at him is one bigger problem after another.He didn't want to care about it anymore, he didn't want to be someone else's blue sky and listen to a grievance.But if he doesn't care, Li Dezheng will take care of it.The old village chief has been in charge all his life, and he still has a leg in, what else can he give... There are always such moments, you know that it's okay if you escape, but you also know that you should stand out.
Standing under the canopy of fate, catch the rain from the gods.
It only took Li Gu a short time to understand this matter, and he quickly completed his psychological self-construction.He stretched out his rough hand to wipe off the tears on Tu Yuming's face: "It's okay, we will make money by selling the camellia, you can study, your grandma can see a doctor, what are you afraid of, you have a brother."
Tu Yuming's eyes that were red from crying were even wider, filled with worship.Li Gu stopped him from hugging his thigh in time, and wiped the snot that he accidentally rubbed off on Tu Yuming's body.
The next day, "Brother Tall and Mighty Li" went looking for Xiaowen like a dog.
Xiaowen recently went to clean up the tea on the shelves to prevent dust from affecting the appearance.The proprietress asked her why she cared so much about these teas, Xiao Wen smiled and shook her head, saying that it was not easy, if she could help sell more, she would do more.She was very good at coming, smiled and took the proprietress's arm, saying that you can also help me figure out a way, and I will pay you the booth fee if I make money.
The proprietress waved her hand: "Come on, you young girls should eat well and dress well. If you have money, you can keep it for yourself." She has been in business for many years and gave Xiaowen some advice, saying that you should look at these The reason why a brand of skin care products can become so big is that first of all, it has to be sold in many places, and each place sells one piece, so the sum is not a small amount.Otherwise, do you think that if our store sells a set every now and then, can the factory survive?The same is true for your tea. Even if the people in my store buy it and drink it every day, they will drink it for ten days and a half a month at a time. I don’t know when the next consumption will be, so the business will not be big.Xiao Wen took it for granted.
She has become familiar with the small courtyard recently, but Shao Li, who brought her here at the beginning, is often left aside by her.Xiao Wen put the matter together with Li Gu, and Li Gu quickly understood what she meant: "You mean sales?" Xiao Wen nodded and said, "There are still a few beauty salons in the city, I think we can try them."
Li Gu thought it made sense, but he didn't have enough confidence, so he asked, "Can they be willing? They don't even know me." Xiao Wen said, "We'll talk about it when you figure it out", and didn't intend to persuade at all.Li Gu could only figure it out by himself: "It's fine, I'll go on weekends, let's run first, I'll run to ten houses, and if one of them is willing, I'll make money."
Xiao Wenhu patted Li Gu's dog's head.
The growth of teenagers is like this. For newcomers in life, there are countless indignation, loss, and doubts that need to be resolved, but not everyone is lucky enough to meet a priest to resolve them.So some people died from these emotional chaos, and some never broke free.It is a great thing to be able to complete self-unification.Li Gu, the stone of Ningchuan, finally began to learn to grow independently under the washing of life.
Li Gu started to bring tea to shopkeepers willing to sell it every weekend.Boss Li's skills in getting along with people quickly accumulated in this process, and every time he deals with people has become his experience reserve.For example, the boss of the previous company was very impatient, but he knew later on that it was important to pick up the important ones, and he clearly stated the profits from the beginning.For example, if someone underestimated his student-like appearance, he would ruthlessly spend money on a suit of clothes, show his confidence when he had nothing to do, and talk about things neither humble nor overbearing.
The moment narrated in the story is long and tormenting for the current Li Gu.Encountered countless rejections, but also figured out more human nature.He is no longer like a follower, he has made up his mind to do many things well, and he has learned to bravely shoulder the responsibility on his shoulders.In the first half of Li Gu's young and barren life, the only solution was to work harder.
The Rebellion of Junior High School Boys
Li Gu Dekong went back to No. [-] Middle School to find Xu Jiwen, and asked about transferring Tu Yuming.Xu Jiwen agreed readily, and he was also concerned about Li Gu's current situation.Li Gu said that Jiying is very strict about his studies, and he is now preparing for the competition.Xu Jiwen thought for a while: "Well, the competition is also good, go to open your eyes. You have to be bullied by geniuses a few times, otherwise you will always feel that you are great."
From the eyes of this bad-tempered old scholar, Li Gu read a little warmth, and his heart suddenly relaxed.
He still has the positive look that everything is going well in life, but only he knows that this expression was faked when he first came here.In fact, he had just been rejected by three shopkeepers this morning, and he was falling into an emotional trap.Xu Jiwen's words pulled him out of his horns, and reminded him of the letter written to him by his two teachers, and Li Gu suddenly opened up.
Xu Jiwen said that he should not worry about Tu Yuming's affairs, he will notify him of anything he needs, and he can just bring someone to enroll at that time.Li Gu smiled very happily, and said without a formality: "Teacher, am I looking for someone?" Xu Jiwen twitched at the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay, you, you know how to find someone before you go out of society, how can you try your best?" Don’t learn well.” Li Gu rubbed his head and smiled.When he left No. [-] Middle School, he looked at the sign with white letters on a black background at the door. Compared with when he first entered school, he had actually gone a lot further.
Li Gu Yueyu's efforts began to pay off, and more than 100 teas were sold this month.He gave the money to Grandma Rabbit to buy some serious blood sugar-lowering medicines, and brought back his old books for Tu Yuming, asking him to read them carefully and prepare to transfer to class next semester.Tu Yuming was going to live in school, and Grandma Rabbit was worried a lot, wishing she could have all the pots and pans ready for him.Li Gu bitterly compared Comrade Li Dezheng, who told him to go to the city because of the two burdens, and felt deeply that there was still a female elder in his family who knew how to take care of others.
Ji Hanxing said that Brother Yuming should also live in the small courtyard at that time, so that everyone can take care of each other and save some money for accommodation.The rabbit was embarrassed, but everyone thought it was more convenient this way.
Back to the life of the two children.Ji Hanxing was not good at cooking at the beginning, but after being taught by Li Gu several times to master the method, he was able to make a few delicious side dishes quickly.Housework became shared between two people, Ji Hanxing swept the floor, Li Gu saw that he was doing well, and began to reflect on whether he spoiled him too much.Ji Hanxing is still a kid, if he doesn't know how to do anything, it won't be good for girls if he gets married in the future.Li Gu has a parent's heart, watching his little friend learn to do more things with conflict and relief.
The days of the competition have also entered the countdown. After such a long preparation, Jiying has no intention of relaxing at all when it comes to approaching.Li Gu has no more available time per day than the students who live in the school. He has to send Ji Hanxing to school first and then return. If he wants to keep the progress, he has to sacrifice sleep.He did this without complaint or regret, but Ji Hanxing was sensitive.He said at the dinner table that he would go to school by himself in the future instead of Li Gu.Li Gu couldn't agree: "Although the school is not too far away, it takes a long time to walk there. There are so many people on the way, how can you rest assured?"
"But I'm a man!" When Ji Hanxing spoke like a child, he meant that he didn't want to be reasonable, and only wanted the other party to agree.Normally Li Gu would agree when he said this, but in this matter Li Gu insisted: "How about this, when you grow up to be as tall as you can ride the bicycle in the courtyard, brother will let you go to school by yourself, okay?" Ji Hanxing acted coquettishly but failed, and showed his true colors. With a "hum", he took away the two people's bowls and chopsticks, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.Li Gu followed behind to please: "Xing Xing, hey, Xing Xing, I still have a mouthful of soup left."
Li Gu understood why he was anxious to grow up, but he had already experienced it once, and he hoped that he could take better care of Xing Xing.Li Gu stood beside him, wiping the rinsed bowl, and at the same time chatted up to Ji Hanxing stupidly: "Is school fun?"
Ji Hanxing didn't raise his head: "It's okay, just read."
"Do you have a good friend? You can also invite me to hang out on weekends, and I will give you pocket money."
Ji Hanxing answered neatly: "Don't play, you'll annoy the kids."
Li Gu Le: "You are just a child, why are you bothered. Is the teacher good? Is he good to you?"
Ji Hanxing glanced at Li Gu without a word: "Brother, are you okay?"
Li Gu: "Ah, I...no, it's fine."
Ji Hanxing washed the last bowl and put it in his hand, turned around and walked out: "Then I'm going to do my homework."
Li Gu looked at the back of the child, feeling a sense of melancholy that the child had grown up.He didn't have any rebellious adolescence himself, if he dared to rebel against the old village chief, he would have to beat him to death with a big shoe.Can Ji Hanxing smoke?Obviously not, if mosquitoes dared to bite him in summer, Li Gu would have to live with the mosquitoes, wishing he could embark on the road of scientific research and fight for the genocide of mosquitoes all his life.But Ji Hanxing was rebellious right now, to be precise, he showed signs of rebellion. As a half-parent, Li Gu gritted his teeth for possible troubles.
After completing all the types of questions in the competition, Jiying's teacher gave out two mock test questions.The first time was particularly difficult, and they were specially vaccinated, and the second time was easier, in order to build confidence for everyone.Li Gu felt that there was nothing to do in those two test papers, they were nothing more than permutations and combinations of types of questions.He performed well twice, which made the teacher very excited, but Li Gu did the real test himself, and he felt that the test had to be a genius for the meaning of the test.The test papers of the competition are the question maker and the question solver
Shao Li's small thoughts were not easy to tell Li Gu directly, so when Li Gu saw that he brought a girl, he was a little confused: "Is this also your fellow?"
Shao Li said no, someone else introduced him.
Li Gu's eyes were full of doubts: "Why do you even bring a girl to paint the wall?"
After being stunned for a moment, Shao Li expressed complete despair at his realization: "I said, are you a man? Have you developed yet?"
Li Gu opened his big ignorant eyes and reacted slowly.He has developed, and he has developed quite well, but his brain is not thinking about that.It's not like he doesn't understand this matter. There are many teachers with flashlights in the school's evening self-study to catch wild mandarin ducks everywhere. Li Gu probably understands.But this is not very attractive to him. What is there to talk about in love? Is learning important?
Shao Li looked at him and shook his head. When helping him choose dishes, he leaned over and lowered his voice: "I said, you won't be eighteen, you haven't?"
What, what?
Facing this question, Li Gu showed the fearless temperament of a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water: "What's love, it's not healthy, I'm studying." Shao Li opened his mouth wide, stared at him for a long time, and finally Youyou stood up for him sighed.
Start
Ji Hanxing is probably born with qualities that attract women. Since meeting him, Xiaowen has been saying that it would be great if Ji Hanxing was her younger brother.
Xiaowen is considered half of the city. Her mother didn't ask her to do much work when she was alive, and she had been a pampered daughter for several years, so her hands were very soft, like a young girl.Most of the other girls in the store are poor children who want to learn crafts to find a way out. They have worked at home for many years, and their ten fingers are covered with calluses.
And for beauty treatment, you need to touch the faces of those expensive wives back and forth. Calluses on your hands will hurt your face from scratching.Xiaowen's hands are nimble and soft, and some noble wives will ask her to make them, and they will not hesitate to reward her if they have rare things.She worked in the store for a few more years, and was highly valued by the proprietress, so she had a little more money than the other little sisters, and would bring gifts to Ji Hanxing from time to time.
Li Gu and Shao Li stood together, watching Xiao Wen squat down to try on Ji Hanxing's newly bought shoes, and asked him if he was comfortable, the heels didn't follow his feet, and he looked like his own sister.Shao Li was completely ignored by his potential girlfriend, so depressed that he touched his chin, and said to Li Gu, "Tell me, this kid will be fine when he grows up, why is he so good at pleasing girls?"
Li Gu looked at the two of them, Ji Hanxing put on the shoes and tried them on, and said to Xiao Wen with a frown, "Thank you sister."
This made Li Gu suddenly sour.
He actually couldn't tell what was wrong. After all, Ji Hanxing had always only been close to him, from a "friendship between life and death" to a relationship of mutual dependence. Now it's all right. Ji Hanxing also smiled sweetly at Xiaowen, which made him feel a little bit feel bad.It seems that such a deep affection can be replaced casually.But Li Gu felt in his heart that his idea was not upright, what does a child know at this age, of course he will be with whoever treats him well, why does he still care about this.
It is not a lie to say that female killers are not fake. The so-called 99 at the top can leave just at the bottom.The rabbit grandma in Ningchuan also dotes on Ji Hanxing very much.In the past, the old man still thought he was Teacher Ji's child, and always kept a certain distance from him, not daring to "ravage" him easily.Ever since the child was registered in the account of the village head, the serious Babai was regarded as Ning Chuan's child, and every time Grandma Rabbit saw him, she screamed heartily.
At that time, she heard the news that Ji Hanxing was going to school, and she was worried that her child would be bullied by her classmates if she went to junior high school at such a young age. She was worried, so she packed up a lot of Ningchuan specialties at home and asked him to bring them to the teacher.Before leaving, the close affection was nothing more than this, she said while packing the package: "Teacher, after drinking my tea, we must take good care of our little Xingxing. Little Xingxing is so good, you have to treat him well." , Grandma Rabbit will bring you tea in the future."
Ji Hanxing watched her move, and after a while, he ran over and hugged her leg, calling grandma.Grandma Rabbit was overjoyed.Tu Yuming looked at Li Gu suspiciously: "Brother, tell me, do I kiss or Xing Xing?"
Li Gu gave him an elbow: "What are you thinking, Xing Xing and I are biological."
Tu Yuming: "What? You can't marry a daughter-in-law, and you can still give birth to stars?"
Li Gu's nose turned high: "We have the same household registration now."
Tu Yuming cupped his hands: "It's amazing."
Grandma Rabbit is an elegant old lady. She didn't have expensive packaging to give as a gift, and she didn't want Ji Hanxing to lose face in front of others, so she cut out a few pieces of printed homespun cloth and packed it from the outside.The things packaged in this way are not only not rustic, but also reveal some elegant and smart ancient charm.When Ji Hanxing started school, he took it with him and sent it out.
Today happened to be the weekend, so it was good to catch the sun. Ji Hanxing was drying the quilt with Li Gu in the yard.Ji Hanxing suddenly remembered something, and asked Consultant Li: "Is there any tea for Granny Rabbit?"
Li Gu communicated with him without barriers, even if Ji Hanxing said a few words, he could understand what the other party was saying: "You said she brought you the one from school?"
Ji Hanxing nodded: "Well, our teacher still wants it. She doesn't want me to give it away, but she wants to buy some."
"Okay, let's call home later, or go back and bring it by ourselves." Li Guting readily agreed, "But I don't think the tea tastes good, does your teacher like it?"
Ji Hanxing nodded: "Yeah! The teacher said that to lose weight, she plans to drink it all the time."
Li Gu didn't understand the reason even more.He felt that every bite he ate was precious. In order to make Ji Hanxing grow taller and fatter, he had been working hard for the past few months, and he couldn't understand how anyone would work so hard to reduce what he ate.
But soon there was a sympathy, and Xiao Wen stepped into the yard without seeing anyone else, followed by Shao Li: "Lose weight? What can lose weight?"
Li Gu raised his forehead.Ji Hanxing smiled sweetly at her: "We are talking about a kind of tea from Ningchuan." Seeing them drying the quilt, Xiao Wen walked over, neatly stretched the quilt flat, patted it with hands to soften it, and kissed Ji Hanxing said: "What kind of tea?"
Ji Hanxing smiled and said, "I don't know the exact name, but the rabbit grandma in the village picked it up and dried it. She knows a little bit of herbal medicine and asked me to bring it to the teacher, but the teacher drank it and said it would make her lose weight."
Xiao Wen suddenly regained his energy: "Is it for takeaway? If you want to lose weight, can you give me some?"
"Okay, I'll give it to you directly." Li Gu and Ji Hanxing had no objection to this, Xiaowen was kind to Ji Hanxing, and bought him more than a bag of tea.
Li Gu called back to Ningchuan the first day, and the village head asked Tu Yuming to drive him into the city the next day, bringing him a lot of packaged tea.The few small dilapidated houses in the countryside were incomparable to the small courtyard left by Lao Ji. He looked around and didn't even dare to settle down, for fear of taking advantage of others.
Ji Hanxing understood his little embarrassment, and directly asked his father to drag him in.His life has just begun, but his father has already changed to the third generation. One counts as one, and he has to cherish it.
Seeing the room they cleaned up and the various textbooks on the desk, Tu Yuming showed envy.Before Tu Qingchuan left, he had said that he would be allowed to study, but now that there are no teachers in the village, the cost of studying in the city would be high, and Grandma Rabbit would definitely not be able to support it by herself.He can only stay at home without school and help with various housework, but every day under the supervision of Grandma Rabbit, he will take out the old textbooks taught by Ji Zhiqing and read it again, as if he has never left the classroom.
Li Gu was so rare that he was rough and fine, he rubbed his head like a puppy: "It's nothing, brother will teach you when I go back!"
Before leaving, Ji Hanxing took the money and gave it to Tu Yuming to take it back. The rabbit didn’t dare to accept it. Ji Hanxing said: "This tea should not be considered as a gift from grandma. I asked grandma to ask for it. Of course I have to give money." Only with the consent of the village head and Li Gu did he accept the money.The tea was delivered to the person who should be delivered, and the two children continued to live their own lives, commuting to and from school regularly every day, and quietly completed their growth in time.
Until Monday night, when Ji Hanxing was doing homework and Li Gu was washing clothes in the yard, Xiao Wen stepped in with a smile on her face. Today she didn't even bring Shao Li with her. When she saw Li Gu, she said, "Boy, you have to thank me."
Li Gu couldn't figure it out, his hands were still covered with soap scum, and his whole body was written with questions.The light in the yard is not very good, but Xiaowen's bright and proud smiling face was clearly illuminated, she said: "Boss Li, I sold [-] copies of tea for you, can you deliver it within this week? "
No one realized at the time that this was a start.
Reading room
Almost all good luck in the world is rooted in kindness and love.
Xiao Wen asked for the tea back instead of drinking it himself.The noble ladies in the store wanted to serve some tea when they came, so Xiao Wen made Ningchuan tea for them instead.Their tongues are very good, and someone asked if they drink something different.Xiaowen described the situation in this way, saying that she has a distant cousin who lives in a poor village. There is an old lady who knows Chinese medicine in the village, and she can go to the mountains to collect medicine and make medicine.She knows quite a few such recipes, but it's a pity that the mountain village is remote, and she has never had the opportunity to sell them to farther places.
Some story elements are naturally trustworthy, such as the old lady in the distant mountains, such as the occlusion caused by poverty, these expensive ladies had a good drink, and felt that the story was very credible, so they asked Xiaowen to make a reservation.
Li Gu couldn't believe it all the time: "What did you say, what do you mean?"
Xiaowen: "Didn't you tell me last time you came here that your village will still sell these in the market? I helped you find the way."
Li Gu couldn't close his mouth for a long time, Xiao Wen said with a smile: "But I didn't ask you the price first, and I didn't dare to say it myself." She reported the number and asked Li Gu if it would work.
Li Gu was almost stunned, and stammered: "Enough, enough, enough to buy a catty." They usually go to the market and drugstore to sell by the catty, and they can't save much in a year. This price was simply beyond his expectation, it was a bit...unkind.Xiaowen shook his head, and said to him: "When I was selling skin care products, our proprietress told me that these people can enter the store, which shows two things. One is that they are really rich, and the other is that they are willing to work in these places. Spending money. That’s what merchants do when they buy and sell things. As long as your stuff is good, you can tell them clearly that it’s not a bad thing. Besides, do you know how much a piece of tea wrapped like this in the city sells for? ?"
Of course Li Gu could only shake his head ignorantly.
Xiao Wen laughed. Ji Hanxing made the comparison earlier. She didn't think there was anything cute and amiable about a big boy like Li Gu. Seeing his silly appearance today, she couldn't help reaching out and stroking his head. .The boy in front of him was startled, very much like himself when he first came to the city to make a living.
It was the wonder of one life over another.People who have been struggling for survival suddenly get a glimpse of the bias of life. At first they are shocked and puzzled, and then they may be frustrated and angry. Finally, they realize that this "unfairness" is the normal state of life, just like never sharing Good luck, never evenly distributed smooth life.
When Xiao Wen was working in a beauty salon, she often helped her boss sell cosmetics and skin care products, and she could get quite a commission for selling a set.She was already familiar with this form, and it was only then that she thought of selling Ningchuan's camellia in this way.In addition to the [-] copies that have already been sold, the proprietress also agreed to put some on the display cabinet in the store, so Xiao Wen asked Li Gu to get a total of [-] copies to try.
With such a big order, I really have to go back to Ningchuan next weekend.
As a result, Granny Rabbit panicked when she heard it: "How can it work? With such a high price, how can anyone want it? I'm not trying to lose weight, but it can serve as a supplement."
The old lady is an honest person, she spends her whole life on herbal medicines but dare not say that she has the ability to cure diseases with medicines.It is good to grow these things in the mountains, but they are not as evil as they think. If a person can lose weight just by drinking tea while lying still, it must be a laxative.When the village chief thought about it, he also felt that it made sense, and led the whole house into a moral dilemma.
Li Gu and Ji Hanxing glanced at each other, the elder's reaction was unexpected but also reasonable.
Ji Hanxing blinked his eyes: "Grandma Rabbit, this price is not expensive in the city. It took you a lot of time to pick these medicinal tea leaves, dry them, and then make the tea."
Grandma Rabbit was very embarrassed: "But I'm fine if I'm idle at home, this, this can't be counted as money."
Li Gu sighed: "That can't be said that way. If someone asks you to help him with this job, do you want money? Just say that you, the homemade cloth wrapped in tea, also need money. Before you Jin said they were all packed in plastic bags, how could they be so delicate and beautiful.”
Grandma Rabbit whispered: "This is the cloth I found at home, and it doesn't cost money."
Li Gu was really helpless, so he followed her up and asked her: "Then you don't spend money to buy these homemade cloths? You think one or two pieces of cloth are worthless, but if you want to make thirty or eighty pieces, what can you do?" No money?" Grandma Rabbit got stuck for a long time, as if he was right.In the end, Li Gu assured her again and again that no matter what the sales of these teas were, he would not do anything wrong, nor would he make black-hearted money, so Granny Rabbit was completely relieved.
Eighty servings of tea leaves was not a small amount, and she couldn't pack them all by herself. The whole weekend, with the help of the village head's family of three, managed to make the things before Li Gu and the others entered the city.Li Gu said to her quite far-sightedly: "I will take these away and try them out first. If you are idle at home, you can dry some more tea ingredients, just in case you can use them."
In this way, they set off with a full load of Ningchuan specialty tea.
On the bumpy mountain road, Li Gu still took out his exercise book to review and prepare for the content of the math competition.Ji Hanxing stared at the dark spots under his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, did you spend more time on the weekend?" Li Gu smiled at him, but he yawned before his smile even opened. Make him look tearful.He said to Ji Hanxing: "It's okay, brother is a genius." Ji Hanxing's little nose wrinkled: "Go to sleep for a while, brother Yuming is driving the car, I will call you when I get to the city."
Li Gu said he wasn't sleepy, but he fell asleep on the tea pile after a while.He has a lot of things going on recently, Jiying selected him to participate in the mathematics competition, and sent him a thick stack of reference materials.Inspired by Xiao Wen, he became interested in the matter of tea, and went to the reading room to find a lot of books to read.
The Jiying teaching building is very grand, and there is a huge reading room inside, where most newspapers and magazines on the market can be found.Li Gu found business-related content, and even dug out the outdated content, learning to see how other people do business.When people grow up, they will probably experience a moment, as if they are suddenly opened up to the two channels of Ren and Du, and the problems that bothered them before suddenly become clear.The businessman's experience in the magazine made Li Gu suddenly discover that the road of studying he is currently taking does not conflict with his Ningchuan.
——He does not have to put aside his background and growth experience in order to become a good student coming out of the assembly line.In fact, a person's life must be rooted in the land where he grew up, and under the combined influence of the acquired environment and his own factors, a unique person is created.
The ideas in these business magazines, together with the idle books that Xu Jiwen gave before, made Li Gu suddenly enlightened.It's not that he abandoned Ning Chuan and wants to become a scholar who doesn't touch the dust. He can use what he has learned to do something for his Ning Chuan.
The more Li Gu thought about it, the more excited he became, and wanted to borrow the relevant books back to read.As a result, the administrator in the reading room refused, and looked at him with a very strange expression, saying that the books here are not for loan, have you never read them and no one else has touched them?Only then did Li Gu suddenly realize that this spacious and bright reading room has always been the coolest place in the entire teaching building, and few students except him would come.This has long been a consensus, and his behavior at the moment is like a silly boy who doesn't understand etiquette at all.
Li Gu went out dejectedly, and met Mr. Wei, who smiled at him very kindly: "It's Li Gu, what are you doing here, and the exam doesn't take these things."
Seeing that the acquaintance regained some enthusiasm, Li Gu replied very smoothly: "Come to broaden your knowledge and read extracurricular books." If it was Xu Jiwen, he would probably follow along and ask what he was looking at, and then talk about everything with him go down.
However, Mr. Wei slowly restrained his expression: "Li Gu, one of Jiying must win this competition. Do you understand?"
Li Gu didn't understand.
He froze for a while, and finally read something from Mr. Wei's expression that he was about to forget: he was bought, and it was his job to win the prize.
But things in this world are like flowing water
The night is deep.
In front of Li Gu were the type questions for the competition, and the lampshade of the old desk lamp was hot.He held the pen and nodded, his eyelids were too heavy to open.If ordinary textbook knowledge is the basic education for everyone, then competitions are actually reserved for geniuses.There were two questions that he hadn't figured out the solution to. Li Gu was sleepy, but he didn't dare to indulge his drowsiness easily.He knew very well that if he couldn't do it, Jiying would feel that the money given to him was wasted.
Li Gu was originally a very blunt rock, and it was because of his bluntness and ignorance that he was able to move forward without distraction.But things in this world are like flowing water, constantly polishing people.Now his "blunt" shell is suddenly broken, and it will soon be revealed whether the inside is exquisite or fragile.His slightly worn heart told him: he went to Jiying, not as a student waiting to be educated, but to win awards and increase the rate of admission.
This cognition made him feel heavy, and he made up his mind to die with the problems that he couldn't solve.However, as sleepiness grew stronger, those black and white words still uncontrollably became blurred in front of his eyes.I know every word, and after combining them, the brain has no room to think about what they mean.
Footsteps sounded.
Ji Hanxing walked in with slippers on, and looked at him quietly for a moment.
Then he walked over and woke Li Gu awake. Ji Hanxing's tone was flat but filled with indescribable emotions: "Go back to sleep."
Li Gu rubbed his eyes, his eyes were still hazy, his expression softened the moment he saw Ji Hanxing in front of him, but his tone was still a bit vague: "Xing Xing, why are you here? Go back to sleep and be careful not to catch a cold."
Ji Hanxing stared at him intently. Li Gu was sitting, but Ji Hanxing was a little taller than him, in a condescending posture.Ji Hanxing didn't answer his words, and repeated again: "Go back to sleep."
He pursed his lips, looking unhappy.The little boy in junior high school showed signs of being awkward. Li Gu didn't understand the reason, and smiled at him habitually with a flattering smile: "Go back quickly, I will come after I finish writing these two questions."
Ji Hanxing looked at him with deep eyes, and then swiftly reached out to extinguish the old desk lamp.The room was suddenly dark, and Li Gu suddenly froze.After a while, my eyes adapted to the environment, and I could see that the light in the bedroom outside was on, and a little light came over, faintly outlining the outline of the furnishings in the house.
Li Gu didn't rush to turn on the light, he knew that Ji Hanxing must be angry.The junior high school boy's tone was firm and could not be refuted: "Go back to sleep, I will ask you to get up and write the topic tomorrow morning." As if sensing what Li Gu was going to say, Ji Hanxing interrupted him first: "I will make breakfast, stay Time to do your homework, now go back to sleep."
Li Gu got down from his seat in a timely manner, and wanted to hold him.As a result, the little boy was very assertive, turned around and left first, and didn't even think about waiting for him.Li Gu was afraid that he would be tripped by something because he couldn't see the environment clearly, so he was about to speak, but he staggered.Ji Hanxing turned his head when he heard the sound, Li Gu smiled at him with luck in his heart, Ji Hanxing's expression did not change, he turned around and raised his feet in one go, Li Gu could only follow up with nothing to do.
Ji Hanxing being angry is something that makes him nervous, but watching Ji Hanxing angry makes him feel amused.In this hateful conflict, Li Gu dispelled a little bit of the depression in his heart.
For the time being, the two of them are still crowded into one room for rest, and the study room is specially used for homework, and Ji Zhiqing's room is temporarily untouched.Li Gu rubbed Ji Hanxing's feet warm and stuffed them into the quilt, and then carefully tucked the quilt up for him.Ji Hanxing was a little awkward and didn't want Li Gu to do this, but he was not as strong as Li Gu for the time being, so he could only passively accept the services of the big brother surnamed Li.Li Gu asked him tentatively in a low voice: "Why don't I move out, is it because I study too late every day and disturb you? You won't be able to rest well."
With his back turned to him, Ji Hanxing was silent for a long time, Li Gu felt that he might not want to talk to him anymore, at this moment Ji Hanxing said quietly: "Don't talk about it, I'm sleepy. "
Li Gu was also sleepy, and when he touched the quilt, he found that the tiredness that he had ignored earlier surged, and he quickly closed his eyes.Those fears and frustrations of not being able to write the competition questions were swept into a dreamland together.There is still a long night to rest, and there is still tomorrow to look forward to, and suddenly I feel that what troubled me at that time was a small problem.
The next day, Li Gu and Ji Hanxing almost woke up. Ji Hanxing stared at him and went into the study to do the questions, and then he went into the kitchen in an orderly manner.There was a greasy sound coming from the kitchen, Li Gu was afraid that Ji Hanxing would be hurt, so he deliberately went over to take a look, but as soon as he went out, he was "stared" back by Ji Hanxing who heard the noise, Li Gu shrank his neck, showing no dignity Go back and continue to struggle.
After a night of sleep, his brain seems to have recovered. He had almost no obstacles to write out yesterday's topics, and found two solutions for one of them, one simplified and one complex.After Li Gu closed the exercise booklet, he realized that there was not much time left. After sorting out his thoughts, the difficulty was that the steps were cumbersome.He hurriedly stuffed his things into his schoolbag and stepped out of the room. He saw that Ji Hanxing was already sitting upright on the small dining table, with a pot and two bowls in front of him. At first glance, it looked like that.
Ji Hanxing's face was solemn, and he made a "please" gesture like a little adult. Li Gu subconsciously obeyed him, sat down quickly, and looked at the contents of the container... Li Gu gasped.
So that morning, Li Gu, an older high school student, and Ji Hanxing, a young boy from junior high school, ate burnt black poached eggs and noodles.A little more life experience.
Catch the rain from the gods
When Li Gu gave Grandma Rabbit the tea money he got from Xiaowen, the old man's gratitude was beyond words.He felt that he couldn't bear such a solemn thank you. To be honest, the actual selling price was higher than this, but it was Xiaowen who helped sell it, so he also gave her some money for each bag-this is the commission mentioned in the book.
Grandma Rabbit quickly nodded to show that she understood: "I just don't know how to say your fancy names. I understand the truth. You can't ask people to do things for you for nothing. This is etiquette." She then quickly counted out a few and gave them to Li Gu: "You take this too." Li Gu didn't ask for it, but he was still involuntarily stuffed.Grandma Rabbit withdrew her hand and waved at him with small movements. When Li Gu came over, she leaned into Li Gu's ear and asked: "This... Will there be anyone in the future?"
She asked very timidly, as if she regarded this good luck as a limited-time gift from God. Sometimes she should be grateful, and sometimes it was reasonable, and she felt ashamed to say even this hope.Li Gu's heart ached when he heard that, and he smiled heartily at her: "Of course, they put it in your store, but many people can see it, and someone will buy it."
Grandma Rabbit said repeatedly that she wanted to send Tu Yuming to school in the city: "I will send it to the place where you studied before, so that he can have a book to read, and he can make a living by himself in the future." Li Gu agreed.At the beginning, Ji Zhiqing was responsible for his transfer. He didn't know how to do these procedures for the students. He thought that he might have to find Xu Jiwen after he went back.
After Li Gu finished speaking with Grandma Rabbit, he saw Rabbit's eyes reddened, and his tone was questioning: "Did my grandma ask you to help me transfer schools?" Li Gu said yes.The rabbit wiped his eyes, and even wiped his unstoppable snot: "I'm not going." Li Gu said "hey": "Hey, I said you have a temper, why don't you go, why don't you listen? People persuaded..." The rabbit's eyes became redder, Li Gu suspected that the rabbit spirit was going to show up on the spot, so he gradually stopped talking.Tu Yuming dragged him to the back of the house with brute force—there were bitter gourd slices drying all over the floor.Tu Yuming said: "My grandma drinks this every day. She couldn't afford the medicine for lowering blood sugar, and she was reluctant to prick herself with needles. She didn't dare to eat just drinking this. I don't study, and all I spend on studying is hers." life-saving money."
Li Gu has always felt that Ji Hanxing is the kind of child who can be loved by others.But when Tu Yuming was crying in front of him, he was also moved.The small desk at the foot of the wall is where Tu Yuming reads and writes. The book is almost torn, and the draft book is full of handwriting.Li Gu Neng recalled that when he was still "supervising" at the back of the Ningchuan classroom, he saw Tu Yuming shaking his head and following Ji Zhiqing's study.If Tu Yuming didn't want to continue reading, why would he cry?
Li Gu's expression slowly became serious.Poverty, disease, death... Li Gu has never felt so clearly that his Ningchuan is actually composed of these things like now, like a recurring nightmare, and no one can jump out of it.
He was frustrated and frustrated by this, and for a moment he wanted to tell Tu Yuming, who was crying out of breath, that he couldn't control it.He was born with such an original sin, but what did he do wrong?He has been working hard in life, but what life does not hesitate to throw at him is one bigger problem after another.He didn't want to care about it anymore, he didn't want to be someone else's blue sky and listen to a grievance.But if he doesn't care, Li Dezheng will take care of it.The old village chief has been in charge all his life, and he still has a leg in, what else can he give... There are always such moments, you know that it's okay if you escape, but you also know that you should stand out.
Standing under the canopy of fate, catch the rain from the gods.
It only took Li Gu a short time to understand this matter, and he quickly completed his psychological self-construction.He stretched out his rough hand to wipe off the tears on Tu Yuming's face: "It's okay, we will make money by selling the camellia, you can study, your grandma can see a doctor, what are you afraid of, you have a brother."
Tu Yuming's eyes that were red from crying were even wider, filled with worship.Li Gu stopped him from hugging his thigh in time, and wiped the snot that he accidentally rubbed off on Tu Yuming's body.
The next day, "Brother Tall and Mighty Li" went looking for Xiaowen like a dog.
Xiaowen recently went to clean up the tea on the shelves to prevent dust from affecting the appearance.The proprietress asked her why she cared so much about these teas, Xiao Wen smiled and shook her head, saying that it was not easy, if she could help sell more, she would do more.She was very good at coming, smiled and took the proprietress's arm, saying that you can also help me figure out a way, and I will pay you the booth fee if I make money.
The proprietress waved her hand: "Come on, you young girls should eat well and dress well. If you have money, you can keep it for yourself." She has been in business for many years and gave Xiaowen some advice, saying that you should look at these The reason why a brand of skin care products can become so big is that first of all, it has to be sold in many places, and each place sells one piece, so the sum is not a small amount.Otherwise, do you think that if our store sells a set every now and then, can the factory survive?The same is true for your tea. Even if the people in my store buy it and drink it every day, they will drink it for ten days and a half a month at a time. I don’t know when the next consumption will be, so the business will not be big.Xiao Wen took it for granted.
She has become familiar with the small courtyard recently, but Shao Li, who brought her here at the beginning, is often left aside by her.Xiao Wen put the matter together with Li Gu, and Li Gu quickly understood what she meant: "You mean sales?" Xiao Wen nodded and said, "There are still a few beauty salons in the city, I think we can try them."
Li Gu thought it made sense, but he didn't have enough confidence, so he asked, "Can they be willing? They don't even know me." Xiao Wen said, "We'll talk about it when you figure it out", and didn't intend to persuade at all.Li Gu could only figure it out by himself: "It's fine, I'll go on weekends, let's run first, I'll run to ten houses, and if one of them is willing, I'll make money."
Xiao Wenhu patted Li Gu's dog's head.
The growth of teenagers is like this. For newcomers in life, there are countless indignation, loss, and doubts that need to be resolved, but not everyone is lucky enough to meet a priest to resolve them.So some people died from these emotional chaos, and some never broke free.It is a great thing to be able to complete self-unification.Li Gu, the stone of Ningchuan, finally began to learn to grow independently under the washing of life.
Li Gu started to bring tea to shopkeepers willing to sell it every weekend.Boss Li's skills in getting along with people quickly accumulated in this process, and every time he deals with people has become his experience reserve.For example, the boss of the previous company was very impatient, but he knew later on that it was important to pick up the important ones, and he clearly stated the profits from the beginning.For example, if someone underestimated his student-like appearance, he would ruthlessly spend money on a suit of clothes, show his confidence when he had nothing to do, and talk about things neither humble nor overbearing.
The moment narrated in the story is long and tormenting for the current Li Gu.Encountered countless rejections, but also figured out more human nature.He is no longer like a follower, he has made up his mind to do many things well, and he has learned to bravely shoulder the responsibility on his shoulders.In the first half of Li Gu's young and barren life, the only solution was to work harder.
The Rebellion of Junior High School Boys
Li Gu Dekong went back to No. [-] Middle School to find Xu Jiwen, and asked about transferring Tu Yuming.Xu Jiwen agreed readily, and he was also concerned about Li Gu's current situation.Li Gu said that Jiying is very strict about his studies, and he is now preparing for the competition.Xu Jiwen thought for a while: "Well, the competition is also good, go to open your eyes. You have to be bullied by geniuses a few times, otherwise you will always feel that you are great."
From the eyes of this bad-tempered old scholar, Li Gu read a little warmth, and his heart suddenly relaxed.
He still has the positive look that everything is going well in life, but only he knows that this expression was faked when he first came here.In fact, he had just been rejected by three shopkeepers this morning, and he was falling into an emotional trap.Xu Jiwen's words pulled him out of his horns, and reminded him of the letter written to him by his two teachers, and Li Gu suddenly opened up.
Xu Jiwen said that he should not worry about Tu Yuming's affairs, he will notify him of anything he needs, and he can just bring someone to enroll at that time.Li Gu smiled very happily, and said without a formality: "Teacher, am I looking for someone?" Xu Jiwen twitched at the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay, you, you know how to find someone before you go out of society, how can you try your best?" Don’t learn well.” Li Gu rubbed his head and smiled.When he left No. [-] Middle School, he looked at the sign with white letters on a black background at the door. Compared with when he first entered school, he had actually gone a lot further.
Li Gu Yueyu's efforts began to pay off, and more than 100 teas were sold this month.He gave the money to Grandma Rabbit to buy some serious blood sugar-lowering medicines, and brought back his old books for Tu Yuming, asking him to read them carefully and prepare to transfer to class next semester.Tu Yuming was going to live in school, and Grandma Rabbit was worried a lot, wishing she could have all the pots and pans ready for him.Li Gu bitterly compared Comrade Li Dezheng, who told him to go to the city because of the two burdens, and felt deeply that there was still a female elder in his family who knew how to take care of others.
Ji Hanxing said that Brother Yuming should also live in the small courtyard at that time, so that everyone can take care of each other and save some money for accommodation.The rabbit was embarrassed, but everyone thought it was more convenient this way.
Back to the life of the two children.Ji Hanxing was not good at cooking at the beginning, but after being taught by Li Gu several times to master the method, he was able to make a few delicious side dishes quickly.Housework became shared between two people, Ji Hanxing swept the floor, Li Gu saw that he was doing well, and began to reflect on whether he spoiled him too much.Ji Hanxing is still a kid, if he doesn't know how to do anything, it won't be good for girls if he gets married in the future.Li Gu has a parent's heart, watching his little friend learn to do more things with conflict and relief.
The days of the competition have also entered the countdown. After such a long preparation, Jiying has no intention of relaxing at all when it comes to approaching.Li Gu has no more available time per day than the students who live in the school. He has to send Ji Hanxing to school first and then return. If he wants to keep the progress, he has to sacrifice sleep.He did this without complaint or regret, but Ji Hanxing was sensitive.He said at the dinner table that he would go to school by himself in the future instead of Li Gu.Li Gu couldn't agree: "Although the school is not too far away, it takes a long time to walk there. There are so many people on the way, how can you rest assured?"
"But I'm a man!" When Ji Hanxing spoke like a child, he meant that he didn't want to be reasonable, and only wanted the other party to agree.Normally Li Gu would agree when he said this, but in this matter Li Gu insisted: "How about this, when you grow up to be as tall as you can ride the bicycle in the courtyard, brother will let you go to school by yourself, okay?" Ji Hanxing acted coquettishly but failed, and showed his true colors. With a "hum", he took away the two people's bowls and chopsticks, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.Li Gu followed behind to please: "Xing Xing, hey, Xing Xing, I still have a mouthful of soup left."
Li Gu understood why he was anxious to grow up, but he had already experienced it once, and he hoped that he could take better care of Xing Xing.Li Gu stood beside him, wiping the rinsed bowl, and at the same time chatted up to Ji Hanxing stupidly: "Is school fun?"
Ji Hanxing didn't raise his head: "It's okay, just read."
"Do you have a good friend? You can also invite me to hang out on weekends, and I will give you pocket money."
Ji Hanxing answered neatly: "Don't play, you'll annoy the kids."
Li Gu Le: "You are just a child, why are you bothered. Is the teacher good? Is he good to you?"
Ji Hanxing glanced at Li Gu without a word: "Brother, are you okay?"
Li Gu: "Ah, I...no, it's fine."
Ji Hanxing washed the last bowl and put it in his hand, turned around and walked out: "Then I'm going to do my homework."
Li Gu looked at the back of the child, feeling a sense of melancholy that the child had grown up.He didn't have any rebellious adolescence himself, if he dared to rebel against the old village chief, he would have to beat him to death with a big shoe.Can Ji Hanxing smoke?Obviously not, if mosquitoes dared to bite him in summer, Li Gu would have to live with the mosquitoes, wishing he could embark on the road of scientific research and fight for the genocide of mosquitoes all his life.But Ji Hanxing was rebellious right now, to be precise, he showed signs of rebellion. As a half-parent, Li Gu gritted his teeth for possible troubles.
After completing all the types of questions in the competition, Jiying's teacher gave out two mock test questions.The first time was particularly difficult, and they were specially vaccinated, and the second time was easier, in order to build confidence for everyone.Li Gu felt that there was nothing to do in those two test papers, they were nothing more than permutations and combinations of types of questions.He performed well twice, which made the teacher very excited, but Li Gu did the real test himself, and he felt that the test had to be a genius for the meaning of the test.The test papers of the competition are the question maker and the question solver
