Lin Lei'er was taken to the city to go to school by her aunt after the death of her mother, perhaps she lost her mother at a young age, Lei Er is more sensible than children of the same age, her academic performance is very good, and there is always more caution and observation under the fence in her eyes, which is painful. Although the aunt and uncle are very good to Lei'er, but after all, they are not parents, and he does not dare to say to his aunt and uncle that sometimes even if he says it, he may not be able to meet it.
Because of the different growing environments, Lei Er was very friendly, helpful, and even a little flattering in the process of getting along with his classmates.
When Ji Yangyang was criticized by the homeroom teacher Pan Shuai for driving a luxury car into the school, after returning to the dormitory, Lei Er, who was good at observing the color, saw Ji Yangyang's resentment at a glance. Lei Er was about to come out with a washbasin, which contained clothes that were going to be washed in the water room. Seeing Ji Yangyang, he said, hey, I see, Ferrari. He stopped walking outside and boasted to Ji Yangyang: It's cool.
Ji Yangyang said that he had mentioned it and had been approved by "Little Pan Pan".
Lin Lei'er walked over with a washbasin and asked: Is it? Why?
Ji Yangyang said, why? Say I pull the wind.
Yes a little. Lin Lei'er looked at Ji Yangyang and smiled, Oh, but well, when he was a teacher, he didn't have much money, and he could never afford to buy this kind of car...
Although the words are vague, there are subtexts that make Ji Yangyang relieved.
In Ji Yangyang's eyes, this roommate Lin Lei'er from the mountainous area is a little dirty, but it is really quite clever, he gave him a nickname called "Xiao Leizi", among his classmates, this "Xiao Leizi" and himself are also quite close to himself, and he, when in this room, he also needs to have such a small person, for example, the homework can not be done to let him help, he is still the most cattle × "elite class" of the whole year; for example, if you want to buy a milk tea, takeout, please ask him to run errands to go outside the school gate, of course, he did not owe him, Let him run errands, always buy double portions, one for himself, one for him, count him as a guest, this is also even, no debt to human feelings.
Ji Yangyang put his backpack on his bed, there were still a few pieces of clothes to be washed on the bed, Ji Yangyang picked up these clothes, put down the backpack, his mouth was still complaining to Lin Lei'er on the side: Show off the rich? Fart, not my car, my dad can't afford to buy it even if he's bigger than the mayor. The car belongs to my uncle, I went to my uncle's house yesterday and begged him to give me a hand, I just got my driver's license and itched my hand. My uncle agreed that I would come over today, and Ji Yangyang saw the washbasin lin Lei'er was holding in his hand, so he casually put the clothes he was carrying in his hand and said, "Oh, thank you."
Lei Er "Hmm" a sound. They're used to this. Just wash it casually, not once. Get used to it.
What is also used to it is that, just like this moment, Ji Yangyang turned around and took out ten yuan from his backpack, took two bags of duck necks, and put them on lin Lei'er's bed on the lower bunk.
Lin Lei'er also pushed it before, saying, No, friend. And Ji Yangyang always frowned slightly, and said with irresistible strength, "It doesn't matter." It's as if you don't take it, you're not a buddy, petty, and people look down on it.
Later, this matter was worn into the ears of Ji Yangyang's father, who was an official, and even pushed Ji Yangyang into the water room and washed Lei'er's clothes. Ji Dad patted the child's shoulder and said, Classmate, I'm sorry, this matter is not right for us, I am sorry for you on his behalf. You say that you are helping him by hand, then why can't he help others by the way, how can he not learn Lei Feng a few times, he is three or four, he actually knows that he can let other people's children help him work, and actually knows how to spend money to let his classmates help him work...
For a child who has lost his mother, life is not satisfactory for more than a little. Later, because of the college entrance examination, more and more parents moved to rent a house near the school in order to take care of their children more conveniently, but Lei'er's family conditions did not allow it, his father was a farmer who planted shiitake mushrooms in the mountains, if it were not for his aunt, he would not even be able to come to the city to go to school, so Lei'er could only continue to stay in the dormitory. But life in the dormitory is not very peaceful. One day, early in the morning, a classmate complained to Lei'er's homeroom teacher, Teacher Li, and when he studied early, Zhang Yueran, Ning Weiyu, and Fang Hui of the boys' 306 dormitory came to reflect that roommate Lin Lei'er got up at 5 o'clock every morning, doing problems in the corridor, and still memorizing English after turning off the lights at 10 pm every night, which affected their rest. Some say there's a sound when he gets up, some say he creates tense air. Teacher Li Shengnan, while advising their classmates to be united and tolerant, said that he would communicate with Lin Lei'er and let him change his work and rest habits.
At 12:00 noon, Lin Lei'er walked into teacher Li Shengnan's office.
He wore a green-and-white sweatshirt that lined his small, dark, shy face.
Teacher Li relayed to him the dissatisfaction of the three roommates for staying up late in the dormitory.
Although she usually likes this introverted, hard-working, top-notch, diligent child, she still has to enlighten him.
She said, Lin Lei'er, collective life has the rules of collective life, and collective life has the emotional intelligence needed for collective life. You work very hard, although this is good, but also to combine work and leisure, not to disturb others...
Lin Lei'er blushed, nodded his head crampedly, and said, Teacher Li, I will pay attention.
After coming out of the office, Lei Er went to the roof of the laboratory building, where he needed to vent. He was talking to the sky: Careful eyes, careful eyes.
He defended himself against the distant buildings, combining work and leisure? Those who rent outside the house, how can they work and relax without combining? When we live on campus, the lights go out at 10 o'clock, while they can learn at 12 o'clock outside!
In recent days, he has felt such an imbalance, and after being talked to by the teacher today, the imbalance has deepened.
Related to this imbalance is the recent real shock – some of his classmates are catching up at a rapid pace, and the distance between them and them is being narrowed.
As a perennial immersion in the sea of questions and a keen sense of smell, he judged from the speed and rising score of these chasers that they had spent more time than him, that is, the review time and brushing up on the questions exceeded him.
Where is their time? In his eyes, it wasn't because they were renting off campus.
Living off campus, not to say that they are quietly making up classes outside, but that they have 2 hours to study every day after school nights and return to their respective rental houses.
Zhang Yueran, Ning Weiyu, Fang Hui, you said that I create a tense air, why don't you go to the "Shuxiang Yayuan" in the middle of the night to see the lights in people's windows? If you can't sleep, you can't sleep anywhere.
Then, Lei Er thought of the little aunt, the little aunt's family also rented a house near the school for Fang Yifan, Lei Er wanted to move in, he and Fang Yifan said their thoughts, Fang Yifan listened, he laughed, or, you are coming, my mother may not only stare at me like now. Lin Lei'er said, too, then you help me talk to my aunt about it.
The next day, the aunt found Lei Er and said that she felt inappropriate for his idea of moving to her own home.
She said that Lei Er, the little aunt followed Teacher Li's advice and spent money to rent this house, not to drive a night train, but to solve Fang Yifan's recent learning mentality problems. At this critical moment, the aunt has to pay full attention to him, if the aunt alone manages the two of you, the aunt has more than enough and is not strong enough, I hope you understand.
Lin Lei'er thought of the face of his roommate complaining, so he begged his sister-in-law, why was it okay in the third year of junior high school, but not now? I am not noisy at all, I can also tutor Fang Yifan.
The little aunt flashed a cramped bitter smile on her face and said, Now the situation is not the same, you will understand it later.
Before the little aunt left, she smiled, changed her tone, and comforted him, saying, you think, Fang Yifan is so much worse than you, you are already good enough, what else do you have to worry about?
Then the aunt left.
He stood at the entrance of the corridor and looked back, his aunt's back had reached the side of the ginkgo forest, and he thought to himself, you don't have to persuade me, I understand. I understand that you won't let me live in the house you rented because your son is more important now. He's your son, you're his mother. You're good enough to me, but if you're my mom, you probably won't persuade me to be calm like I did today. So, I get it.
Lei Er because of the reasons for the grades, want to add a cram school, but he has no money, Lei Er found the aunt, want to borrow money with her, at that time the aunt wanted to give Fang Yifan a chemistry tutoring class, just withdrew money from the bank, heard Lei Er's request, she thought to herself, Lei Er, Xiao Er has no money, only this 8,000 yuan, wait to go to Fang Yifan to apply for a chemistry class, I really have no money, so 10,000, you two have a total of 4 courses, plus rent, now Fang Yifan chemistry also wants this 8,000 yuan, And you still want 10,000 yuan, and the aunt does not open a bank. You said borrow from me, you are only 17 years old, there is no such thing as "borrowing". Isn't this a matter of "fairness and benefit" for a family's limited cost? That is, is it spent on one body to make him rush into the elite, or is it an average force, but in the end, a nest of mediocrity?
Rural families, families with many children, were not counted like this before? It's hard to figure out a college student.
But Fang Yifan is my own son.
So she said bluntly, Lei'er, the aunt has no money, even if you want to borrow from me, the aunt does not have this money. Because the aunt also wanted to enroll Fang Yifan in another chemistry class, she had no money. Your aunt wants you to win the gold medal, but your aunt also wants him to go to college. It's important that you don't take the exam to get into Peking University, but it's even more important for him to get into college because you're the icing on the cake, and he's a problem with bread. In this matter, we can't think about inputs and outputs, you understand?
Lei Er understood that XiaoYi had no money, and Xiao Yifan's money had to give Fang Yifan a chemistry cram school. In this way, my cousin has 4 classes, and he only has 1, because he is her son, because his grades are currently better than his, which is easy to understand, and there is no way to do it.
So, he blushed and said to his sister-in-law, I understand, then forget it.
Lei Er also locked herself in the laboratory for a whole day because of the problem of money. Teacher Li, the class teacher, said that the school has 1 place to participate in the Peking University training camp, considering Lei Er's good results in the physics competition and his usual academic expertise, we feel that this opportunity is more suitable for him, so we gave him this quota. But a day later, he returned the quota to us, said no, and gave up. Ask him why. He said there was not enough money. It is also true that such a trip, round-trip air tickets, plus accommodation and catering expenses in Beijing for more than ten days, is a big expense, and from receiving the notice to the departure, there are only 3 days, Lin Lei'er said that he has difficulty raising money. We also understand Lei'er's family situation, so we can understand it. Lin Lei'er gave up, so we transferred the quota to another boy in the class, and the boy's father immediately bought a ticket and a hotel from the Internet, and the next day he sent the child over. Later, the boy got a contract from Peking University. But the gap between that child and Lei Er was still very large, and Lei Er locked himself in the laboratory. You can understand Lei Er's idea, just miss the dream he has been pursuing, there will definitely be a big gap, if the boy is better than him or did not get the contract is better, but such a result, how to make a child accept. At such an age, a small child must learn to accept the injustice of fate.
The average child, if it is the need to learn, put forward the requirements, parents do not know how happy to be, will try their best to meet the child's requirements, can be for Lei'er, he has needs, but it is so difficult to achieve, this is the bitterness of the child, even if he has more grievances in his heart, he has nowhere to tell, there is no way to achieve, can only rely on their own more efforts to adjust and pander, Lei'er is a poor child, other children can easily get everything, for him, but so far, Lei Er is not a casual child, he has his own thinking, has his own persistence, he feels that he can't hold on, for Lei Er, he opened his mouth to put forward a demand to the aunt how difficult it should be, but it is such a request, or was rejected by the aunt, at this time Lei Er should be very disappointed and feel embarrassed, so, he learned of the peking university training camp quota, considering the cost of the accommodation fee, he chose to give up, gave up the struggle, but lost the opportunity.
Fortunately, Lei Er is a strong child, he has been brave to move forward, although, later, the shiitake father who loved him died because of mudslides, he still chose to live strongly, Lei Er later gave up the summer camp opportunity of Peking University and participated in the early admission of jiangnan university's agriculture and forestry major, Lin Lei'er told Teacher Li that he had thought about it in the past few days, one was because he wanted to do the work that his father had done, and the other was that the tuition fees of the students admitted in advance of this agriculture and forestry major were all free.
In fact, I especially understand Lei'er's choice, children who have parents love can choose a better life, children who have lost their parents must learn to survive, Lei'er is a real man, is a role model for all children.
