Chapter 39 - Neglected Second Daughter (7)
This scene is not common, and some people never encounter a similar Annunciation scene in their entire life.
In contrast, the Ning family is already considered “very experienced”. After all, this is the third time, but even so, Ning’s father and Ning’s mother were still very reactive, and the two almost stumbled and fell together. .
The village chief was amused and envious when he saw the panicked moves of the two of them.
If it was his son, he probably wouldn’t be much better than Ning’s father and Ning’s mother.
Halfway through thinking about this, the village chief was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn’t help laughing. This was really a daydream.
I am afraid that if I order two more dishes, I will not say such drunken words. If his kid has this ability, I am afraid that his ancestors will appear.
It’s really human-to-human, maddening people.
“This is… sure?” Mother Ning didn’t even show a smile, the flesh on her face was trembling at the moment, “Isn’t there anything wrong?”
She was worried about gain and loss, and she was afraid that the village chief had heard it wrong, so she was rejoicing.
The head of the village laughed: “How can this be wrong? Chuxia is the first in the province, the first in the province! They said that the town and county will send people over, and reporters will come, you better hurry up Go back and tell Chu Xia! If you wait for someone to come, you won’t be ready.”
“Okay, okay.” Father Ning was so full of words that he couldn’t think of anything else. He pulled Mother Ning out and hurried back to announce the good news.
What did the village chief just say? someone coming?
Oh yes! This is not the same as before. They heard from Teacher He before that this test is a national test. The village chief just said that the test in early summer is the first place in the province.
Listening to what the village chief just said, there are still reporters coming! Father Ning began to worry about the inventory at home. There are quite a lot of things in the house, and maybe there are not many to entertain guests, so he collected the peanuts that had been sitting there before, and the unfinished candy that he bought years ago. If the guests want to stay for dinner, there is not even a decent meal.
After running out for a while, Father Ning, who had been in a worrying mood, reacted, rushed back, and said thank you to the village chief embarrassedly.
Seeing that Father Ning was in a hurry to leave again, the village chief hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Father Ning: “Lao Ning, don’t go out when you wait, stay at home to entertain people, I’ll find a half-eldest boy to help you run errands and go to the town. Let’s buy some meat dishes…” He explained in detail, only to see Father Ning calm down from the panic.
The village chief watched Ning’s father and Ning’s mother quickly evacuate, and he was a little worried in his heart.
Ning’s father and Ning’s mother are in this state, can they really talk well when they see people? You know, just listening to the tone on the phone, there are not only a lot of people who will come next, and their status is not low, even he, who claims to have seen the most market in the village, can’t help but feel a little uneasy, let alone from birth. Until now, except to see a doctor to see his daughter, Ning’s father and Ning’s mother have never run outside.
By the way, there are reporters here, and I don’t know if they will interview him. What should he say? The new clothes his mother-in-law made for him last time don’t know where they are.
The village chief’s concerns were reasonable, but he forgot the existence of Ning Chuxia—not forgetting, but Ning Chuxia was indeed a vague shadow of him. This child has not stayed in the village for several years, except for the ability to read, He didn’t have much impression of the kid.
Ning’s father and Ning’s mother just arrived at the door of the house, and when they opened the door, they saw Ning Chuxia who was sweeping.
The Ning’s house is not big. It was renovated a little last year, and only the floor of the main room was replaced with red bricks produced by the town’s brick factory.
With a basin in her hand, she was pouring water on the ground. In summer, when she poured some water on the ground, the house that was originally shady would be much cooler.
“Chuxia, stop working.” Ning’s mother hurriedly took the pot from Ning Chuxia’s hand, but her daughter’s hand was the hand of reading and writing.
She moved quickly and snatched the pot in one go, looking at Ning Chuxia’s hand until now, it was quite amazing.
She knew that the second daughter was powerful, but how could she be so powerful? The first place in the province, what is the concept? Is it always the same as the previous champion? This is not something ordinary people can achieve.
Ning Chuxia looked helplessly at the pot that her mother snatched away. It wasn’t even noon yet. Her mother and father rushed back so panting, she had already guessed what happened. After all, in this day and age, people can know the results in advance. There may be only one.
As for the college entrance examination, Ning Chuxia was by no means clueless. Anyone who had read the college entrance examination papers in the early years would find that the examination papers of that year were not difficult from the perspective of later generations. After all, the educational conditions in those years were not good. It is not like there are so many cram schools and tutorial books in later generations.
But this does not mean that she is sure that she will be the first in the test. There are so many talented people in this world, she is too confident, and she will always overturn the car. Over the past few years, Ning Chuxia has been like a sponge, absorbing all the knowledge she can get around. Several teachers, as well as several professors she knew who exchanged letters, admired her very much. They sent her a lot of books by handing over and mailing them, so that she could see the world earlier.
Father Ning looked at his daughter with complicated eyes.
He remembered the daughter who had tears in front of her four years ago, looked desperate and desperate; and that day, her daughter’s hair was cut short, even a little random, and the handful of change on the table , the same sentence “I want to read”.
And now this child has grown into something worthy of their…even everyone’s pride.
“Chuxia, you…”
Halfway through what Father Ning said, he was shocked by the sudden noise outside and frowned.
The loudspeaker in the village has always been a magic weapon for the whole village to inform people. As soon as the village chief on the other end opens in the broadcasting room, he roars at his throat, and the ears of the people close to the loudspeaker can be deaf. The geographical location of the Ning family Very “good”, it is very close to the tree with the tweeter, and even the movement of the village chief’s moving voice can be heard clearly.
“…All the villagers of Xingzi Village, let everyone know the good news.” The village chief on the other end of the horn didn’t do anything pompous and straight to the point. Although he couldn’t see his expression, everyone could hear his excitement.” Ning Chuxia of the Ning family, this time, the college entrance examination took the first place in the province! It is the top student in the college entrance examination! This is the first time that our Xingzi Village has achieved such a good result…”
The village chief was still sighing, and Father Ning sighed in his heart. He should have said it first, but he didn’t let his daughter know about such news first.
Father Ning nodded at Ning Chuxia, he raised his voice: “Chuxia, you got the first place in the exam!”
Ning Chuxia followed with a smile, with a shallow dimple on her face: “Dad, I see! I heard it!”
Father Ning seemed to have something to say, but before he could say it, there was a commotion outside.
“Lao Ning, did your family get the first title in Chuxia?” The man who pushed in the door directly came in with a basket on his back. It seemed that he had just come down from the back mountain. “I was on the road just now, and I didn’t hear it clearly.”
“It’s number one! I heard it all! The number one student in the province!” Aunt Cuihua came over with a **** next door. The **** was still stained with mud, and her face was filled with excitement.
The two vanguards had the fastest legs, and there were quite a few people who followed. They swarmed into the room with their faces either curious or full of joy.
The village is so big, and when the village chief speaks up, no one in the whole village can hear him. He said such a good thing, and everyone rushed over without hesitation, just wanting to see the style of the champion for the first time.
There were more and more people, and Ning’s father and Ning’s mother began to be in a hurry. Ning Chuxia asked for help several times, but was stopped by the people in the village. They asked her to sit on the chair, like looking at some alien monster. Stop, tsk tsk amazement.
“The child Chuxia has been smarter than others since he was a child. I thought at the time that this child would definitely be successful.” The person who spoke made a promise, but Ning Chuxia actually remembered it. This person used the same words to praise Chuchun and Chuqiu before. , when they were admitted to secondary school.
“That’s not it! Chu Xia had two spins on his head when he was a child! Children with two spins are born smart!” A whirling person has a bad temper.
Mother Ning is extraordinarily generous today, a bowl of sugar water is indispensable for each person. Although there is not much sugar in it, it is also rare and generous.
She is happy today, no matter how much money she is willing to spend!
In the past two years, both of her sons and daughters were admitted to secondary schools, so she and her husband prepared a running water feast to entertain the villagers. Ning’s mother counted the money hidden in the mezzanine of the bed in the house, but she was not too panicked. The three children have promising prospects. They have not brought any burden to the family in the past two years. The economy has been good in the past two years. I finally saved some money, which is quite generous.
The folks who were drinking sugar water took the initiative, looking at Ning Chuxia with love in their eyes.
The children of the Ning family, especially Ning Chuxia, don’t mention how many topics are brought to them. They usually go out to the market and go to the streets. I heard that they are from Xingzi Village. People are willing to ask them more about how the children in Xingzi Village are. taught.
At first, of course, they were a little guilty. After all these years in Xingzi Village, they didn’t have a promising baby. In the early autumn, they were a little more assertive, not to mention now, they are the champions! This is not to fly.
“Ning’s sister-in-law, would you like a drink this time?”
Father Ning hurriedly replied: “Please, please, after a while, when the work is done, the godmother in the early summer will also ask for the holiday!” His normally serious face, and now his brows were beaming, “When the time comes, everyone will have to give me face, all come! “
His heart is filled with pride, this is his daughter.
“Come! Definitely come, don’t worry, we will definitely come to help!”
“That’s for sure, Lao Ning, this early summer is also the child we watched grow up!”
Every time there is someone in the village, no matter how big or small, the people in the village will help each other, but it also depends on how popular they are. If you have a wide network of people, there will be many people who come to help. less.
Now it seems that it is estimated that there will be more people who come to help than any previous one.
After this chat, everyone’s attention was placed on Ning Chuxia, and the questions were thrown one after another.
The questions they care about are all kinds of strange, from what major Ning Chuxia wants to apply for, to where they want to work in the future, and even starting to discuss who they are looking for, and even ask questions such as what went to school and how often can they come back .
Ning’s father and Ning’s mother couldn’t talk, they sat quietly and listened, their faces were full of relief and happy smiles.
This is a very enjoyable interview with the champion. The village chief has just finished the broadcast, and before he has picked out his clothes, the first wave of reporters and leaders has arrived.
He led the opponent to the Ning’s house, thinking that he was calm, but he didn’t know that he was walking hand in hand.
Before entering Ning’s house, he heard laughter and laughter coming from the house. As soon as the door opened, the village chief saw that everyone seemed to be chatting endlessly. He hurriedly coughed and introduced the identity of the person to everyone.
As he expected, Ning’s father and Ning’s mother were really nervous and incoherent. The villagers were quite calm, and their eyes were full of curiosity, especially when they saw the reporter’s camera, their eyes were shining.
It really should be calm and not calm, and it should not be too calm.
Ning Chuxia looked at her parents who wanted to go back, so she also took the initiative to stand up: “Hello, teacher.” She thought about it, and the title was appropriate, “I am Ning Chuxia.”
She is very experienced in entertaining people.
The village chief watched Ning Chuxia begin to respond with the leader’s speech, showing modest words, and carefully answering the reporter’s inquiries. The way of speaking, he looked very learned when he heard it, and then look at Ning’s father and Ning’s mother. .
This is really… the blue is better than the blue. He didn’t realize it himself. When Ning Chuxia could handle it, he was a little relieved.
…
“Please take a seat.” Ning Chuxia calmly stood in front and entertained people.
In the past half a month, the people from Shangning’s family haven’t stopped, and even reporters have come here no less than three times.
Ning’s father and Ning’s mother have successfully desensitized after being attacked by people during this period of time. Now they can’t see people talking with trembling voices, but this must be the case of the second daughter. If Ning Chuxia is not there, they estimate that It’s to make a fool of yourself.
This time, it’s someone from the city’s education bureau.
They came with a mission, and this year’s top pick is a good achievement for them.
But apart from giving money, what else do they have to do to show their concern for Ning Chuxia, the champion.
After a little discussion, someone noticed the family status form that Ning Chuxia had filled out earlier, and at first glance, the idea came up.
People who want to come to Ning Chuxia’s side must be blind to her going to study abroad. They help to inquire and make some preparations, so that they can be in a hurry when they can.
Xiao Feng looked at Ning Chuxia. This girl was really calm and had the air of a general, but the parents next to her were very nervous at first sight. When they entered the house, the bowl of water was all drank.
Xiao Feng smiled kindly: “We heard that classmate Ning and your family have never been out of Dayuan before, but no, for the convenience of your reporting at that time, the organization discussed it, let us inquire about it for you, and come out. What should I prepare for the far door?”
This is really not easy to inquire. In the whole city, they can’t find a few people who have been to the capital, and even people who have traveled far away. Fortunately, they can always call and inquire now, the Eight Immortals Cross the Sea, this Asked one by one in the past, always asked some useful strategies.
As soon as Xiao Feng said this, Ning’s father and Ning’s mother also came over.
These days, they really feel that they are “unusable”, and they get nervous when they see people. In the past, at most, they received a commendation in the town, sweated a little beforehand, clenched their teeth, and came to the stage. It’s too late, but it’s difficult for them to shake hands and communicate with people again.
The reporters who came to interview also brought cameras and notebooks in their hands. They were all afraid that they would accidentally say something wrong and make their daughter humiliated.
What’s worse than this is the guilt mixed with joy.
What they are most afraid of are those leaders and outsiders, holding their hands and saying that they have worked hard, cultivated an excellent daughter, and sent talents to the country.
There are also reporters who will definitely ask, such as how they overcame difficulties, were not affected by the general environment, insisted on letting their daughter go to school, what help they gave to her daughter’s study, and whether they had any special experience.
Every time this kind of scene, Ning’s father and Ning’s mother were embarrassed to the extreme, and it was usually Ning Chuxia who came to the rescue.
She can always say something to thank her parents indifferently.
Ning Chuxia didn’t fabricate a lie about how Ning’s father and Ning’s mother raised their daughters out of nothing, she just affirmed the efforts of Ning’s father and Ning’s mother in a truthful manner.
At the very least, Ning’s father and Ning’s mother let her study at the beginning, and then faced her “stubborn temper” and agreed to let Ning Chuxia continue her studies – Ning Chuxia is not a bad fan, but it is true that the environment of this era That’s how, in such a remote and slightly backward village, there are not many people who can send their children to study. Originally, she complained about the unfairness of her parents, but she never hated her parents to the core, because she knew very well that Ning Father and Mother Ning did their best to give their children a relatively good life.
– Just, not so fair to give.
Every time Ning Chuxia spoke, Ning’s father and Ning’s mother couldn’t talk, they could only cooperate and laugh, and then they were tortured by the admiration of others.
What has overcome many difficulties, what has not been affected by the environment… How can they be qualified to accept this kind of compliment?
They simply failed to raise their daughters.
You know, just a few years ago, they almost asked Ning Chuxia to give up her studies and go home to help. If Ning Chuxia hadn’t given up and persevered, it would have been gone.
As for the study, they didn’t even help. In contrast, Mr. He might have helped a lot more than them, but they could barely find an excuse to say that they didn’t understand the twists and turns of reading. , after all, they have never even been to the county and city area before, but this is an excuse after all.
When it comes to spending money, it’s even more difficult to talk about. Since that time they stopped her daughter from studying, her daughter has a sense of crisis. As long as it is a holiday, she will find something to do. In addition, Ning Chuxia is at school every day. There is no place to spend money. Over the years, it can even be said that Ning Chuxia is sometimes subsidizing her family.
Didn’t even the eldest son and the youngest daughter rely on Ning Chuxia’s help to become the envy of others?
Not only are they not cultivated, they are already a stumbling block on the daughter’s road to success.
Fortunately, there is always something to help. Father Ning and Mother Ning have ignored the fear in their hearts. Now that they are very close to Xiao Feng, they are asking carefully. Although they can write few words, they can. I can still record a little bit. The couple listens to each other and complements each other. They can always remember about the same.
Their questions were numerous and complex. Several times Xiao Feng got stuck when asked, and he hesitated for a long time to answer. He really didn’t know how to answer, so he wrote it down in the notebook, saying he wanted to help and ask again.
Ning Chuxia had been sitting next to her, but suddenly she saw someone looking outside the house, and she couldn’t see who it was. She said hello to Ning’s parents and Ning’s mother, and then went out to entertain.
Seeing that people were embarrassed to come in, they should be villagers.
Ning Chuxia is also a little helpless. Xingzi Village is located in a remote and closed environment, which makes it a tradition for the villagers to help each other. Of course, there will be some quarrels and quarrels, but overall harmony is the main thing.
This kind of environment also makes that once a celebrity emerges, everyone will come to the door as if they are curious, for fear that they will miss the next popular topic.
Ning Chuxia had already encountered such a time before, but at that time, everyone was mostly relying on word of mouth, but this time is different. I heard that the top student in the college entrance examination has fallen into Xingzi Village. What does a champion look like.
You know, this is the first doll of theirs to go to college. Take a second look. What if your family is also smug?
Ning Chuxia was not angry about being watched as animals in a zoo. She knew that the villagers didn’t have any bad intentions.
The only thing that is a little uncomfortable is that I don’t know who said that the reason why the Ning family was able to have three well-studied children was due to Ning Chuxia’s influence. If a pregnant woman who has not given birth could come to Ning’s family and let Ning Chuxia touch her. Touch the belly, this future child is also smart.
Regarding this kind of superstition, of course Ning Chuxia wanted to crack down on counterfeiting, but the women who came here were very good at dealing with such things.
They nodded and said, “I understand, I understand! It’s all fake, but it’s just a joke.” Then they silently held Ning Chuxia’s hand lightly, “Try it, get a lot of money.”
Ning Chuxia could only stretch out her hand silently, rubbing other people’s belly.
The most exaggerated one, in a village far away from Xingzi Village, three pregnant women came in one breath. They came in a “group” and stood in line in front of Ning Chuxia, asking her to take turns to touch.
Ning Chuxia felt sour and sour at the time, it was hard to put into words. She felt that she was like some kind of “Goddess of Mercy” or something like that. People give birth to children just by touching them. Is she… consecrating pregnant women?
Later, many people brought their children too – this time, instead of touching their stomachs, let Ning Chuxia touch their heads. If they can say that this child looks smart and will be successful in the future, the whole family will be happy.
This probably means that happiness belongs to others, and embarrassment belongs to yourself, right? Ning Chuxia thought bitterly, if she could laugh at this, then the interview with the magical newspaper after that made her stunned.
Of course, Ning Chuxia had something to say, but she couldn’t control other people’s mouths.
Her deeds published in newspapers can be called “legendary inspirational stories”.
Why pick up calendar paper that others don’t want, take notes in the back, and write all the drafts in the front – this is obviously a normal money-saving operation. How can I say that she is like a child who is picking up junk in the cold wind, and then working and studying with tears in her eyes ?
In order to save electricity bills, Ning Chuxia had a little impression of borrowing light downstairs from other people’s houses. It was clearly because the circuit in the teacher’s building that was rented back then burned out. And it was obvious that I only went there once… She was borrowing light from the window?
And the village said that every time she saw her walking, she ran and spent every minute studying. Ning Chuxia couldn’t help but want to complain for the children in the village. The children in the village are all long-distance runners – the only difference is that they run When the time comes, the parents will be angrily saying that the child is in a hurry to go crazy again.
Just looking at the newspaper and covering up the names, Ning Chuxia would have thought that this was some kind of inspirational learning **** – but this learning **** is hers, so that’s another story.
I just hope that this newspaper will not spread in the future, Ning Chuxia prays.
Ning Chuxia opened the door suspiciously. The people in the village have now returned to their normal state. Every time they meet, they look at her with pride. People outside the village, Ning Chuxia, suspect that she has seen her many times. Are you here today to consecrate your stomach or a child?
With this doubt, Ning Chuxia glanced over, but before the person left, a taller and a shorter figure came close, as if they were discussing something.
Ning Chuxia was very surprised when he saw the face of the person who came.
Aren’t these two the wife and husband of Ning Chuchun in the previous life?
