She Quit the Air Bag

There is a “celebrity” in Xingzi Village. In Shili Baxiang, it has long been a household name. After all, there is no gossip these days, and there are not many things to talk about after tea and dinner. It is passed on by word of mouth on weekdays, but it also adds to this celebrity. Less mythical.

The line from the town to the village has recently added more cars, and the price has also dropped. Many people who were previously reluctant to spend money on a car will now not hesitate to take out some money to take a ride when they are tired.

Not long after getting in the car, someone started chatting, and the one from Xingzi Village was mentioned.

“I’m so envious, you said, will Ning Chuxia still take the first place in the college entrance examination this time?”

“How can it be the number one in the town! I don’t know about the city.” The woman who was asked thought for a while before answering, “It was the number one in the city before, so it should be the same this time? This has to be changed in the past. , how is it also a scholar.”

“I don’t know how the parents manage it. They all study the same way. How can they be so prosperous? I guess the parents must take good care of them. If there is such a person in my family, I have to be a baby!”

“That’s not true, but this kid is also a bit stubborn. Why didn’t you go to a junior high school? If you don’t have two years, you will be able to work. After finishing junior high school and high school, it will cost a lot!”

The person sitting next to him laughed, and he leaned over with a mysterious look on his face: “You don’t know that, right? People can study, and they have stipends, and they usually get second-class subsidies for poor students. Every time I take the first place in the exam, people in the town, city, and school give out rewards! I’ve done the math at home, and their children don’t lose money when they study, and they make money!”

The woman who heard the news looked at each other, took a deep breath, and said with emotion, “Why haven’t my children received any bursaries?”

The man laughed, he knew a lot more, and he said it quite proudly: “In this Ning Chuxia, Xiaoshengchu was the first in the test, the town held a banner, the commune organized a commendation meeting, and I happened to go to the city to hear what they said. It’s been a long time! This news is guaranteed to be true, and this bursary must not be given to everyone, only those who have passed the exam well, how can it be called a bursary?”

Chatting in such an open-air car, the road is still bumpy, and sometimes when the wind blows, it can’t help but feel like the dust is about to hit your face, but this does not constitute an obstacle to chatting gossip, and the chat is completely non-stop.

The driver parked the car on the side of the road. He lowered the window directly, leaned out halfway, and shouted, “Xingzi Village is here, get off quickly.”

Pickup trucks like this are one of the best means of transportation here. In the early years, some people didn’t recognize them and didn’t know how to use them. Now everyone even gets on and off the trucks fully automatically.

The person who was talking about gossip was stunned for a moment, and then watched the woman sitting on the side carrying a basket and got out of the car. She moved quickly and disappeared from everyone’s sight after a while.

Seeing that she was nowhere to be seen, the woman who was chatting hot just now couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t she talk to us just now?”

In an era when the neighbors were all enthusiastic, it was normal for everyone to talk to each other as long as they heard something they knew. It was strange that they said nothing about the other side’s village.

The man understood: “I guess people in Xingzi Village are tired of telling people about this every day? After all, this girl has been famous for four years.”

“Yes.” The others nodded in agreement, and then they were full of envy.

This is really enviable. It’s boring to praise people. The most gossip in their village recently is probably that there are people in the village hanging out with widows and fighting with their mother-in-law.

…

With this little effort, Ning’s mother had already entered the house, and the room was empty. The space that the family could not use before now became wider.

It can be seen to the naked eye that the half-timbered main room, in addition to the portrait photos hanging on the left and right sides, now has a lot of awards and commendations. The table that was originally used for the ancestors also has a row of enamel cups next to it.

The background color of the enamel cup is white, and the mouth and bottom of the bowl are inlaid with a blue edge. The pattern on the top is quite old and common. The back was originally blank, and it is the recognition content in red handwritten letters.

If you take a closer look, you will find that all the words above are like first-aid students.

Now, there are no shortage of cups at home anymore, and even some cups are too many to be used up. In the same series, there are also bowls, plates, and basins, but those are estimated to be cost or aesthetic reasons, and they are relatively better.

“How?”

When Mother Ning heard the voice behind her, she got up and turned around. It was indeed Father Ning. The village has been canceling the commune for the past two years.

It can be seen that Father Ning should have come back from the farmland.

“It’s good, her teachers take good care of her…”

“That’s good, that’s good.” Father Ning pondered for a while, and then asked, “Are you thin? Actually, you have to bring some local pork and chicken over there, so I can make up for it.”

He also just said that although the economy has improved a lot in the past two years, it is still troublesome to go to the city. The journey alone has to be from morning to night. There is no direct bus, and you have to make three trips. The weather is very hot. , if you really bring some fresh food, you have to cover it up, and you have to bring money and benefits.

Mother Ning shook her head: “I’m not thin, this child in Chuxia has become more and more beautiful, and now she is a big girl.”

Her eyes were full of emotion and sentimentality. Her daughter was not as timid as she used to be. She didn’t know how to describe it, but at least she knew that her daughter was no different from her classmates she met in the city, and she didn’t even show her timidity. Take it easy, and have a lot of air.

Ning’s mother’s trip was to see her second daughter in the city. Seeing that the college entrance examination was about to take place, Ning’s father and Ning’s mother, who were not particularly nervous about their children’s exams, also understood how important this exam was.

Ning Chuxia went to the junior high school in the county at the beginning, and then when he was in the middle school entrance examination, he was the same. , The person who called said that this is a treatment only available to the top 15 in the county.

Ning’s father and Ning’s mother did not agree. Ning Chuxia mentioned it to them when they came home. Teacher He also said that although the secondary school is very good, the child of Ning Chuxia still wants to go to university. They are before the child. In her life, she has never obeyed her words according to her child’s wishes, but now that she realizes that she is wrong, she will not arbitrarily decide for her child.

Although it was a pity for the caller, she did not force it, but Ning Chuqiu was able to use this policy, and she was directly admitted to the middle school.

Ning Chuchun, who also took the senior high school entrance examination, received a lot of review materials written by Ning Chuxia in advance, and Ning Chuqiu, who also read the materials, helped guide him, but his grades were still not good enough. An out-of-town mechanical engineering school.

Before the exam, Ning Chuxia came back specially. She discussed it with her parents. The effects of junior secondary school and college are different. If Ning Chuchun and Ning Chuqiu are willing, she thinks that she can study for another two years of high school. Go to high school again.

Ning Chuqiu and Ning Chuchun both rejected her suggestion.

The former thinks that she has already spent a lot of money for the family. As Ning Chuqiu studied, she became more and more aware of how many resources she had obtained at home. After thinking about it, she still felt that it would be better to graduate early and work. I can save some dowry money myself and save my parents more burden.

Ning Chuchun is very self-aware of himself. He knows how much help he has from his two sisters, especially Ning Chuxia. After reading, he has to help him organize materials. He went to a cram school and was admitted to a technical secondary school. He already felt that he was very lucky.

Ning Chuxia agreed without persuading her. She knew that the technical secondary schools of this era were very different from those of later generations. Although the future is not as good as university, there are advantages to being able to have a good job ahead of time.

On the contrary, Ning Chuxia’s own whereabouts were decided at the latest. Before she volunteered to fill in, she was asked by a high school in the city who knew her situation and took good care of her. After a lot of fighting, Ning Chuxia finally decided to go to the city to study high school, but after going, he could only come back once or twice a semester.

Father Ning rubbed his hands, he hesitated for a long time and then asked, “Chu Xia didn’t say anything, which school does she want to apply for?”

He kept the words in his mouth for a long time before he asked.

The daughter who always relied on him and his wife in the past has long since disappeared. Now, Ning Chuxia, not only does not need the help of the family, but can also help the family in turn.

Thinking of this, Father Ning did not feel relieved, but rather bitter.

Since the crying that year, Ning Chuxia has started a self-sufficient life. The school will give you money and food every month. Ning Chuxia can pay for the accommodation and food as promised, and she can send the balance home. inside.

During the holidays, she did not rest, and would go out to find something to do. At first, when she was young, she could only do simple labor. Later, when she arrived in the county, she began to do things like helping people with homework. Not much, but it was almost equal to her bonus.

This is only about making money and spending money. Not only did Ning Chuxia do these things, but she also did her best to tutor her siblings with their homework. When she came back every month, she always carried heavy handwritten materials on her back.

Ning Chuxia is very frugal. She uses calendar paper collected from the junkyard, organizes her ideas on the back of the blank, and uses the limited vacation time to help her siblings find gaps in their studies.

It was her efforts that enabled Ning Chuchun and Ning Chuqiu to go to a secondary school and a middle school teacher, especially Ning Chuqiu, the middle school teacher was subsidized by the state, except for the free food and tuition fees, the school also gave them back. Pay monthly living expenses.

She contributed money and efforts. It can be said that this family, relying on how much light she has been exposed to, is envied by everyone in the village.

It’s not that they don’t know happiness in the midst of happiness, and outsiders don’t know it. They have a clear heart. Ning Chuxia treats her family well. It’s because she has a sense of family responsibility. It’s because she is willing to pay for this family. farther.

Back then, Ning Chuxia sometimes acted with a “pleasant” attitude, and when she was ignored, she would always feel uncontrollable sadness.

And now Ning Chuxia… She seems to have figured it out, everything she does is what she wants to do, not for anyone, even if she doesn’t get enough attention, she won’t be sad, and she will no longer have expectations.

Is there anything more poignant to be a parent than this? They couldn’t be sorry for their daughter, and they drove them away before they realized they regretted it.

Ning’s father and Ning’s mother thought about saving them. They tried to express their goodness, but what they received was a polite thanks from their daughter, which was rusty and polite.

Moreover, the daughter is like an eagle that is about to take off. They are already not very helpful to her daughter. Instead, they are like a burden. Don’t say the money and contribute… There is still a lot of money in this family, which is subsidized by the daughter. Even the future way out for the other two children was also found by Ning Chuxia.

“She said it, she said she was going to study in the capital, and I didn’t quite understand what major to study, and she also said that it wasn’t certain, and it might be adjusted.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Father Ning sighed faintly, his eyes full of reluctance, but they couldn’t help them with a rope for so many years, and they couldn’t tie the child’s feet with ropes now.

Ning’s mother was still talking: “I heard people say that the capital is cold, and I don’t know if the top of the padded jacket is good. You said that there is no one around us to ask. Should I order a thick padded jacket? I have to send a message. Xin asked Chuchun if he had any classmates from the north, what he had to prepare for going out to study.”

As soon as Ning’s mother said it, Ning’s father also diverted his attention, and he would not be so sad when he had other things in mind: “That must be hurry up, or wait for the summer to be in a hurry, do you think you have to fight? Wear a thick quilt, and there are many people in the capital, so don’t let your children go and show their timidity in front of others.”

Father Ning babbled for a long time, and the words he said were not particularly useful. He thought about it with all his heart, but it was really far from his knowledge.

Thinking of this, he began to feel a little lost again. I am afraid that in this life, he will not be able to treat his daughter well. He doesn’t even understand how to treat him well.

He tried hard not to think about it: “In time for tomorrow morning, if you are not tired, go to the city to find Chuxia’s godmother, her godmother is well-informed and knows a lot, by the way, ask her godmother, Chuxia has an exam, we Can I do something else? If you can’t bring anything, then take the money to the city, buy chicken and duck, and borrow a stove for the children to cook. I don’t know if it’s appropriate.”

“Okay, I’m not tired, I’ll ask tomorrow morning and wrap it on my body.”

…

“Godmother, don’t worry, I’m ready for the exam. I don’t have to worry about anything. It’s hot and I can’t eat it…”

Teacher He on the other end of the phone didn’t worry about it. She loved and blamed her deeply. It seemed that Ning Chuxia was a place to pay attention, even if she had lost weight recently.

Ning Chuxia made a few more promises, and confirmed it before hanging up: “Godmother, is the information I sent back useful? Is it suitable for small and easy-to-use?”

Speaking of this, Teacher He was also very excited: “It’s useful, especially useful, don’t say it, Xiaoyi’s grades are much better now.”

Teacher He was very emotional. Back then, she thought she was extending a helping hand to her former self—when she helped Ning Chuxia, she was also filling the void in her heart.

She never thought that Ning Chuxia would help her more than she could.

Ning Chuxia took advantage of the holiday to sort out her learning experience in elementary school and hand it over to Teacher He.

Mr. He didn’t care at first, but out of love and respect for his goddaughter, he still read it carefully. As a result, he greatly benefited from it and gained a lot of inspiration for improving the lesson plan.

This is not to say that Ning Chuxia is very talented in teaching, but she has read books for several lifetimes in her memory, and after many times of crossing, her memory and comprehension have also been reborn, far better than those of the past.

Although Mrs. He devoted herself to her students, when the educated youth went to the countryside, she had only just finished her second year of high school, and she had never been to a normal school. A relatively complete learning program with a system must be a lot worse.

Not to mention that Ning Chuxia’s achievements in Yiqi Juechen are some of the outstanding students attracted by the school. Teacher He’s improvement in teaching methods is indeed reflected in the results of the students. After that, many students who graduated from the school have passed the exam Since the children’s primary school, Mr. He is also very important in the school.

And this time, Ning Chuxia helped to worry about Mr. He’s own son, Li Yi, how patient Mr. He was when teaching other children, and how angry he was when teaching Li Yi.

Ning Chuxia once bumped into a mother-child teaching scene. It was no different from the parents who taught their children to do homework and taught hypertension that she had read on the Internet in later generations.

Li Yi was a little brainless when it came to reading. Teacher He’s idea was the only one that didn’t work for him. Ning Chuxia took a look. The child was really not too enlightened. I learned some test-taking skills, sorted out the memory method and sent it to the past, but fortunately it worked.

Teacher He quickly regained his senses: “Isn’t that talking about your college entrance examination? You child is just worrying about it every day, so you will be exhausted. Don’t worry about anything now, just concentrate on the exam and don’t have any burdens.”

In the past few years, she has also saved a small treasury for Ning Chuxia, but the child has never been short of money, and she has never taken it out.

Teacher He has already thought about it. When Ning Chuxia is admitted to university, she will bring the money to use it.

She had 110,000 support for Ning Chuxia’s idea of ​​applying for the Capital University. Although she was reluctant to part with this very fateful goddaughter, she hoped that Ning Chuxia would be able to live completely for herself and live unfettered. living.

In Mr. He’s opinion, this child is too worried, and she is willing to help with anyone’s affairs. She is moved, but sad. She hopes that this child can be self-willed, regardless of it, just for herself.

“Anyway, before your college entrance examination, you are not allowed to care about anything. You are not allowed to care about any grades or money, do you understand?”

Ning Chuxia immediately agreed when she saw Teacher He’s serious tone and expression of anger.

Teacher He also talked about some exam experience. For Ning Chuxia, she shamelessly wrote a letter and called to ask an old classmate who she hadn’t contacted since she went to the countryside.

But Ning’s mother, who was visiting today, reminded her that she had to ask what she needed to prepare for college. She had never attended college and knew nothing about it.

Ning Chuxia was still smiling until she hung up the phone. She entered the room. This room was specially reserved for her by her teacher. There were two letters and a package on the table.

The letter at the top was from a university professor in the capital that she knew. At the beginning, she just sent the letter tentatively. I didn’t expect that the professor at the top level, at least now, still maintains the habit of reading every letter. He even sent the letter tentatively. He wrote back a letter seriously and seriously, Tong Ning Chuxia became a pen pal across the age, the other party admired Ning Chuxia’s views and scientific thinking, and introduced several of his colleagues, he even regretted that it is difficult to directly The apprentice said that if Ning Chuxia could be admitted to his school, he could study in his laboratory.

The next letter was sent by Ning Chuchun.

His letters were not thick, and he was dull by nature. Even when writing letters, he couldn’t become a chatterbox. He expressed his concern for Ning Chuxia in a few words. The letter paper was glued, cut the interlayer, and put the inside. With a lot of scattered banknotes, Ning Chuchun said “buy some snacks to eat”.

Ning Chuxia laughed. She knew that it was not easy for Ning Chuchun to save the money. The other party looked like the money was just a small amount of money to him, so he could only deceive others.

The large package was sent by Ning Chuqiu. The letter she wrote was very long, from the big and small things that happened around her to the various concerns about Ning Chuxia. The package was bought from the provincial capital by her friends. It is said to be something special. The review materials, as well as the exam papers copied from the provincial school… Although Ning Chuqiu carefully sorted it out, it can still be seen that she found a lot of people to clean up together, and the sources are very different.

Ning Chuxia glanced at it and could see the amount of work involved. There was even a hand-copied version of it. At first glance, it was Ning Chuqiu’s handwriting.

Things are so magical sometimes.

When she no longer regards that home as the only one, and no longer makes flattering contributions—but she still does her best for this home according to her heart.

Apart from the change of personal mentality, in fact, there is no difference in what she has done.

But received a lot of love and care.

The more you want it, the less you can’t get it, and when you let go of it, it appears instead. That’s probably how it is.

Ning Chuxia didn’t think about it anymore. Looking at the sunshine outside the window, the college entrance examination was coming soon, and the truly vast picture of the world was also unfolding in front of her.

She was like a bird flying out of the skylight little by little.

…

Ning Chuxia’s achievements are not only affecting her.

After showing her edge, she has always been a standard leader, and she has always had a wall with the classmates behind her, and she can draw an insurmountable gap on weekdays.

Although there is a certain chance that she will not perform well on the spot, whether it is school or family and friends, they have full confidence in her-maybe this is what she showed herself.

As long as you are willing to recognize her and believe in her, she can do everything beyond your imagination.

It is said that this afternoon, the results will be notified to the Education Bureau.

Father Ning didn’t fall asleep all night, and woke up several times to find it was dark.

He really couldn’t go to work normally, so he asked Ning Chuxia to rest at home. His daughter didn’t know how long she could stay at home. Now Ning’s family doesn’t let her do any housework, but Ning Chuxia is not obedient. Meet the stitches and do something that should be done.

Father Ning squatted at the door of the village chief’s house. He had a phone at home, and his wife came after a while.

The two looked at each other and saw each other’s anxiety.

Although I knew that the results would not come out in the morning, I still felt at ease here.

The village chief pulled them into the house, and not long after they sat down, the phone rang.

Ning’s father and Ning’s mother didn’t get up. It was estimated that they were looking for someone in the village. Now everyone is quite willing to make a phone call.

Then there was the sound of rioting.

Father Ning and Mother Ning were about to go in and have a look when they bumped into the village chief who rushed out.

With a smile on his face, he grabbed Ning’s father and Ning’s mother: “Go back and tell your family Chuxia that the Education Bureau called me, Chuxia she was the champion!”
