"Sanfeng, what's going on? It's so formal?"

The eldest sister was pricking her hands with the soles of her shoes, preparing to make a new pair of shoes for Liu Qingshan to wear when she gets married.

Of course it is a big deal, and it is also very difficult.

Liu Qingshan glanced at everyone, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Grandpa, mother, I want to tell you something. I am not going to high school."

What?

Lin Zhi was pouring water. When she heard this, the enamel jar in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.

"Ouch!"

The awl on the sole of Liu Jinfeng's shoe almost pricked her hand.

The second sister who was reading suddenly raised her face and looked at her brother in shock.

Even Sifeng'er walked up to Liu Qingshan and grabbed his collar: "Brother, it's great to go to school. I've long wanted to go to the first grade!"

The peaceful and peaceful atmosphere at home suddenly cooled down because of Liu Qingshan's words.

Lin Zhi's usually gentle face suddenly darkened, and she said very sternly: "Sanfeng'er, what are you talking nonsense about? Have you forgotten what your father said before he left?"

Let your children study and study well!

These were Liu Zijun's last words, so in the past few years, no matter how poor, miserable or tired she was, Lin Zhi gritted her teeth and provided for her children to study.

Da Feng'er didn't get into high school, and she blamed herself for a long time.

Er Feng'er lives up to her expectations, so she doesn't have to worry about her studies.

This Sanfeng'er, now that she's admitted to high school, actually says she doesn't want to go to school!

Lin Zhi's heart suddenly felt as if it had been blocked by a big stone, and uncontrollable tears fell down her cheeks.

"As long as you can go to school, no matter how hard you endure or how tired you are, I won't complain. But Sanfeng'er, you...you actually say you don't want to go to school now!"

Seeing this situation, Liu Qingshan's heart twitched fiercely.

He found that he was wrong, and very wrong.

They are everything in my mother's life and the biggest motivation for her to survive.

There is no doubt that if Liu Qingshan insists on not going to high school, even if he can make money, his mother will be very depressed and become an inextricable knot.

When Lin Zhi cried like this, it was so amazing that Sifeng also hugged her mother's thigh and howled. Dafeng and Fengfeng also stood beside their mother and shed tears together.

"Mom, don't cry yet. Listen to me. I don't mean not to go to high school."

Liu Qingshan quickly went up to explain.

This was really helpful. Lin Zhizhi immediately stopped feeling sad: Well, my son is so smart, how could he do such a stupid thing.

"What I mean is that high school is a waste of time. There is nothing wrong with doing anything during these three years."

Liu Qingshan knew that he had now entered the fast lane of economic development, and apart from high school knowledge that required time to memorize, sitting in a classroom was simply a torment for him.

"Brother, didn't you say the same thing?"

The little fourth understood everything. He frowned and looked over with big eyes, complaining: My brother was not good at all today and made me cry like a girl.

Seeing the sad look on his mother's face again, Liu Qingshan quickly continued to explain: "Mom, what I mean is, can I establish a school status first, not go to class usually, and then take part in the exam."

"Sifeng, do you think the school is run by our family? You can go if you want and come back if you want!"

The second sister, who was as bored as a gourd, couldn't help but start complaining,

For a good student who aspires to become a college student, Liu Qingshan's statement is really hard for her to accept.

Liu Qingshan ignored her and continued to think: "In that case, I will study at home and work on the side business at the same time. In the past three years, our family will have become a household worth ten thousand yuan."

He also sacrificed Wan Yuan Hu, a magic weapon that could be tried and tested.

But this time it didn't work, and Lin Zhi sighed: "What's the use of having so much money? As long as you all study hard and go to college, mother will be satisfied, and your father will be able to smile."

When she mentioned her deceased husband, she couldn't help but feel sad and began to sob softly.

At this time, Liu Qingshan stopped chanting the curse at all.

He knows that providing for children to study is a mother's last insistence, and no one can change this.

At this time, the grandfather who had been sitting on the edge of the kang smoking a dry cigarette finally spoke: "Sanfeng'er, you are studying at home, can you really understand it?"

Liu Qingshan felt happy. At this time, he needed his grandfather's assistance so much, so he nodded heavily:

"Sir, I am confident that I will definitely live up to your expectations when I enter university in three years!"

Liu Shikui nodded slightly and turned to Lin Zhi: "Zhi'er, do you think this can be done? As soon as possible, I will take Qingshan to the county school and talk to the principal Xu Dabeard. He used to be colleagues with Zijun, maybe it can work.

.”

This compromise method is acceptable to both parties for the time being.

Lin Zhi nodded, then ignored Liu Qingshan and went out to feed the chickens and pigs.

Through the glass window, Liu Qingshan could still see that his mother was wiping her tears from time to time, obviously not relieved.

He hurriedly ran out and followed his mother to work, but Lin Zhi kicked her back into the house to continue recording tapes for her second sister.

There was no other way, so Liu Qingshan could only gesture to the fourth child. The little guy was very clever and good at coaxing people. After a while, he made his mother happy.

However, Liu Qingshan knew that unless this matter was completely resolved, the knot in his mother's heart would not be resolved.

So early the next morning, after breakfast, I used my bicycle to carry my grandfather to the county seat.

A young man doesn't know what tiredness is, even if he is carrying someone on his back, traveling dozens of miles, it's just like playing.

No. 1 Middle School is located in the easternmost part of the county. It is the only high school in the county. Because it was summer vacation, the school seemed deserted. There was only an old man guarding the gate in the reception room.

After asking for the address of the principal's home, it was found that it was an ordinary small bungalow just in front of the school. At this time, there were basically no people living in buildings in the county.

When he knocked on the door, Liu Qingshan was a little frightened, mainly because Principal Xu Dabeard left such a deep impression on him.

Principal Xu’s beard was relatively heavy. There were no electric razors in those days, so he had to shave. If he didn’t shave for a few days, his beard would become unkempt.

This man also had big eyes, and when he stared, the students were frightened.

In addition, the name "beard" has another meaning in the local area: the bandits who lived in the mountains in the past were also called beards.

It is said that once, some gangsters outside the school came to molest the female students. Principal Xu swung the big bench and they all fell down.

It's just so fierce.

Therefore, the students in No. 1 Middle School all feared and respected the principal, and their feelings were complicated.

With a knock on the door, a middle-aged woman walked out of the house. She was wearing a plain floral apron. She must have been washing clothes, her hands were wet.

"Hello, aunt, we are looking for Principal Xu. Is he at home?"

Of course Liu Qingshan also knew this Aunt Wang. She was the wife of Principal Xu, and she usually worked in the cafeteria of No. 1 Middle School.

This is a kind-hearted middle-aged woman who is particularly kind to students whose families are in difficulty. She always gives them extra when they are preparing meals.

I guess if it wasn't for Xu's big beard, he would have been fired long ago.

"Oh, you are looking for Lao Xu. He is at home. Come in quickly."

Aunt Wang opened the door with a smile and let people in.

There are two small bungalows, with a small corridor in the middle. The east room is for sleeping, and the west room is probably Principal Xu's study and reception room.

When you enter the room, there is a large bookcase and an old small wooden table. It has three drawers on the top and a small cabinet below for storing things. It is commonly known as the "one-end sink" type.

Behind the desk, there is a person writing something with a pen.

When he saw someone coming from home, he raised his head and stood up. What a good guy, he indeed had a hairy beard on his face. He was probably on vacation and usually didn't bother to take care of it at home.

Looking over with big eyes, Liu Qingshan trembled subconsciously.

I remember when I was in high school, I once climbed over the school wall and ran out to play, but I was caught by a bearded man.

Good guy, I almost got my ass kicked.

He didn't dare to complain at all. People said that he was teaching him a lesson.

I didn't even dare to mention it when I got home. If grandpa knew about it, he would definitely get bumps on the broom.

"Hey, Uncle Liu, why are you here? I haven't seen you for several years, but you are still so strong!"

Xu Dabeard recognized Liu Shikui, opened his mouth and came over happily, grabbed the old man's hand, and then shouted to his wife: "Shufen, we will cook some vegetables for lunch, and we will drink some."

"You have a big beard, but you still have such a good mouth."

As Liu Shikui spoke, he glanced at Liu Qingshan, who quickly took out two bottles of wine from his canvas bag and placed them on the table.

"Principal Xu, I have long wanted to have a drink with you, so I bought two bottles of wine when I came over."

Xu Dabeard waved his hand: "Uncle Liu, what are you doing? I should buy you a drink. I have been busy at school in the past two years and have not even visited you."

After saying that, he glared at Liu Qingshan: "Put it away and keep it for your father to drink."

Yes, principal!

Liu Qingshan had become a conditioned reflex, he must listen to the principal's words, and Ma Liu put the wine back.
