Listen carefully to the lectures, review the past and learn the new...Okay, Yang Dongxu is serious, but he can only be serious for one day. It's not that he wants to be special, but it's really torture if you ask a person who can go to high school, or even go to college without math, to review the past and learn new things in front of first-grade elementary school textbooks.
What's more, his head teacher, Qi Xueming, is only a junior high school student, although he is not young at 25 years old. Okay, junior high school students in this era are also educated people. After all, the college entrance examination was stopped at that time. This cannot be said to be unintelligent. Who allowed the road to study to be blocked at that time?
But why do you, a junior high school student, wear a white shirt every day and look so arrogant? Yes, you wear a white shirt, you are arrogant. But please don’t pretend to be an artistic young man. Although you are a young man, you really have no knowledge reserve of literature and art.
With such a class teacher here, Yang Dongxu has good self-control by holding back his nausea and not hitting anyone. Do you still want him to listen carefully? Fortunately, he could rest at home for two days on the weekend, otherwise he would really go crazy.
"I met soldiers and civilians on the way back. Did you cause trouble at school?" Zhou Yiren parked his bicycle and carried his lunch box into the house.
"No, absolutely not." Yang Dongxu shook his head quickly.
"Then why don't you do your homework?"
"I will definitely write it next time." Yang Dongxu lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
"I know you can do everything, but even if you do your homework, you still have to do it. How about I find someone for you to go to junior high school directly?"
"How can I go to junior high school when I'm only seven years old?" Yang Dongxu protested. He must have been bullied in the third grade. How can he live without going to junior high school directly?
"That's right." Zhou Yiren also felt that his proposal was a bit whimsical.
"How about I drop out of school, and when I'm old enough, I'll go directly to junior high school." Yang Dongxu suggested.
"Don't even think about it." Zhou Yiren glared at Yang Dongxu and kept rubbing his temples. Sometimes his grandson's being too smart was a burden.
Yang Dongxu felt like he was about to suffer from depression when he was going to school every day. Despite endless calls, he finally waited for the midterm exam.
So with double 100 points in Chinese and Mathematics, he took the initiative to move to the corner of the last row and sit alone.
Then when the teacher in class walks to the back row, he will find that this little boy who is distracted in class and never listens to the lecture will occasionally have a book of advanced mathematics or a book of poetry or something in English or Russian. kind.
Recently, Yang Dongxu is looking for an opportunity to see if he can learn German or French. It’s tiring to be in a daze every day. Instead of wasting time, it’s better to learn more so that time passes faster.
At first, it was discovered that Yang Dongxu was reading extracurricular books. Although it was not considered an extracurricular book, he was still warned by the teacher. Sometimes the books would be taken away, but he would quickly go to the principal's office and get them back.
Several warnings were to no avail, and sitting in the corner, he would not bother anyone else. The principal seemed to turn a blind eye to this student, and other teachers no longer bothered him.
In this way, Yang Dongxu became relatively free in school, and it was no longer as difficult as before. Although his only friend is Wu Xue, does he care about playing with those little brats?
When the pesky autumn tiger finally leaves and the trees seem to become bare overnight. The city of Yanjing became lively, and this liveliness was not due to any festival to be celebrated. Instead, the educated youths who had been placed there began to return to the city one after another.
The return of educated youths to the city has put great pressure on the government. After all, you have to make arrangements for the return of so many people at once, right? Those who have family around are fine, but those who don’t have family around and don’t even have a place to stay, you have to find a place for them, right?
There are also work matters. It is not a problem for young workers to be idle at home, but many state-owned enterprises are fully staffed. Even if many state-owned enterprises begin to expand reproduction, the number of people who can be recruited is limited after all, less than one tenth. What do you do with the remaining nine-tenths?
So all of a sudden there were a lot of promiscuous men and women on the street. With more people walking around, it naturally became more lively. Of course, there are a lot of troublemakers, especially petty theft cases that have begun to increase.
Although people today still remain simple and honest, they cannot embarrass their ancestors even if they starve to death for the sake of face. But do you know where these educated youths went to join the queue? It's not just talk about poor mountains and poor waters, and unruly people. People are poor but their ambitions are short, horses are thin and their hair is long. So it is common to have a few people with unclean hands and feet.
Social conflicts are becoming increasingly prominent, and the government cannot just do the job. Since state-owned enterprises cannot accommodate people, let these young people start their own businesses. As a result, various calls to encourage self-employment and various benefits began to spread. It also stimulated the emergence of the first batch of small merchants and hawkers after the Great Chaos.
As usual, Yang Dongxu held Xiaoxue's little hand and the two went home side by side, talking and laughing. After entering the courtyard, he felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. As he walked further, he was a little dumbfounded.
It’s not that the educated youth from his family have returned, or that his family members have come to see him. A little girl wearing patched clothes, with at least three toes exposed from her shoes, dirty hair, and dirt on her face squatted at the door of his house. There was a bulging bag of grain next to her that was obviously her luggage.
When Yang Dongxu saw this little girl for the first time, the first thing that came to his mind was the word 'beggar', but why did the beggar come to the courtyard without anyone taking care of him, and he was still squatting at the door of his house.
"Girl?" Yang Dongxu soon had the answer, because Zhou Yiren, who came back from get off work, was stunned when he saw the little girl at the door, and then rushed over without even parking his bicycle.
The little girl shrank into the corner. She didn't know whether she was frightened by the tall Zhou Yiren in front of her, or by the bicycle that fell to the ground with a clang.
"Old Zhou, what are you..." Neighbors in the courtyard heard the noise and came over to ask.
"I...my daughter was sent to the countryside for fear of causing harm to her mother and father. She hasn't seen her for seven or eight years..." Zhou Yiren said with some choking.
The neighbors who came around sighed and shook their heads and left, no longer watching the excitement. This kind of thing happened every day in the past two years, and meeting each other was already the best outcome. Many people are separated by yin and yang as soon as they are separated.
"Girl, I'm your dad. I'm your dad Zhou Yiren. When I was little, I used to push you around with my neck on my neck, and you still peed in my neck..." Zhou Yiren was a little excited, and his words became more and more intense. Quickly start to speak incoherently.
Yang Dongxu, who was standing nearby, didn't know what to say, but he rolled his eyes at his godfather giving his daughter such a name. Although there are many people with the nickname "Niu" in this era. But the name Niu is not a compliment for future generations. If my daughter is called such a name, she will not be teased to death in the future...
"Grandpa, um... um, sister seems a little scared. Calm down, calm down." Seeing Zhou Yiren shrinking back when he wanted to step forward, Zhou Yiren was so frightened that he danced and gestured and did not dare to step forward. Yang Dongxu He spoke.
"Yes, yes, yes, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I am really your father, don't be afraid." The ecstatic Zhou Yiren slowly calmed down, although he wanted to go forward and hug his daughter at this time, this was what he was thinking about Mu wanted to do things that he had never dreamed of doing, but he also knew that he couldn't rush this matter.
After my godfather calmed down, Niu was not so scared anymore. Maybe it's because blood is thicker than water and father and daughter are born with telepathy. But even though she wasn't afraid, she didn't dare to step forward. She was still a little timid, like a frightened bird.
But with a relatively calm environment and the presence of Yang Dongxu, a kid who makes it easy for people to let down their guard. The three people quickly entered the house.
Standing in the room, the girl looked down at her shoes. She was so dirty that she seemed out of place in the whole room, and she didn't dare to sit down at all.
"I'll go to my grandma's house nearby and borrow some clothes for my sister. I remember that her youngest daughter is about the same height as my sister. Grandpa, see if you can get a bed. The weather is getting a bit cold, so laying a bed on the floor probably won't work." Looking at the scene. Yang Dongxu suggested after stagnating again.
"Yes, yes, yes, you have to sleep on the bed, not the floor." Zhou Yiren kept nodding, and then he realized what was happening and slapped Yang Dongxu: "What sister, calling her aunt, is so smart as usual? She can even calculate her seniority wrongly."
Yang Dongxu grinned and said nothing and went out to borrow clothes. To be honest, it's okay to call Hongying sister after rebirth. It's even okay to call the little girls and boys in the same village who are older than me.
After all, they were used to shouting before they were reborn. Although they are still little kids now, Yang Dongxu thinks he is in his forties. But after shouting, I can think of what they will look like in the future, so I don't feel any burden.
But if you ask other strangers, who look really old to call them grandparents, there is no problem. But if you ask this little girl in front of you, who looks like 11, 23, to call her aunt, he really can’t call her aunt. She can’t even call her sister. It's very awkward, okay.
After borrowing the clothes, Yang Dongxu led the girl to the nearby bathroom to take a bath. He taught her several times how to use the things in the bathroom. He only left when he saw her nodding to show that she understood.
My godfather went to find a bed, but these days there are so many children that there are no extra beds. So after searching for a long time but not finding it, Yang Dongxu suggested that he go to Old Xuan's place to spend the night. Anyway, Old Man Xuan was the only one there.
Zhou Yiren did not agree. Although his daughter looked a little malnourished and looked like she was only twelve or thirteen years old, she was actually sixteen years old. There was only one bed in the house, so it would definitely be inconvenient for father and daughter to sleep together.
And although the two are father and daughter, after all, Niu's memory was not that deep when she was young when they separated. It was also awkward to have just the two of them at home.
So Zhou Yiren kept the dinner he had brought back. He wanted to say something to his daughter, but didn't know how to say it. Finally, he left with a complicated mood. The emotional impact was a bit heavy today, and he was going to spend the night at his work unit to calm down.
After taking a shower, the girl's face was no longer dirty. Although her body was thin and looked a little malnourished, a bit of Zhou Yiren could be seen between her eyebrows. Zhou Yiren has a scholar's temperament, so although he is tall, his face is not resolute. Therefore, the overall appearance of the girl is quite beautiful. Obviously, her mother's genes are also good.
"Come here and eat. If you don't have enough for me, I can give you some. But if you feel full, don't eat. Being hungry for too long and eating suddenly can easily hurt your stomach." He still looked a little timid. Yang Dongxu opened the dinner that his godfather brought back to the girl, and gave a portion to the girl first. The two of them kept a little distance apart to prevent her from being too nervous.
