“The bell...”

The crisp bells rang far away, and in the morning, the sun was warm, and the morning breeze had the breath of grass and wood.

“Yechen, where are you going?”

"I'm going to town."

From the village of Shangyun to Xiaoli Township on the country road, Ye Qin held the car faucet in one hand, and his left foot was on the ground to support, saying hello to two young people who were also riding bicycles.

“Yechen, did you get into two?”Yesterday I heard that your grandfather took your acceptance letter and walked around the village committee.

Talking is a tall and thin teenager, riding a beautiful variable speed bicycle, this time the township and rural are called racing.Next to him was a slightly shorter teenager, riding a brand-new lady’s bicycle.

Ye Qin smiled, did not pick up the topic, but asked the two of them: "Zhang Jianping, Wang Wu, where are you two going?"

“Go to town.”The tall and thin boy Zhang Jianping paused, scratching his head, "Some things go to school."

“Going to school?”Ye Qin was slightly surprised, everyone graduated from junior high school, but also on vacation for a long time, this time to run the school to do.

“There’s something hidden.”Wang Wu skims his mouth and pointed to Zhang Jianping, "his father called back and told him to go to high school, so that he would ask him to ask how much it would cost to buy a middle school or Sanyang middle school?"

Ye Qin suddenly understood.

Xiu Shui I and Sanyang Town, which has a high school department, Sanyang Middle School, in addition to the enrollment of students who are admitted to the score line, there is another one that the entrance examination score is too low, which can be bought by paying extra money.

Exactly how much Ye Qin is not clear, in short, a large number, not many people are willing to spend a lot of money every year.

“Go away.”

Ye Qin gently padd his feet and stepped on the pedal of the bicycle to start first.

“Ye Qin, your car is always ringing, can you catch us?”

Zhang Jianping and Wang Wu rushed up, and the three of them walked in parallel, looking at Ye Qin's Phoenix 28 bars, Zhang Jianping shouted with a smile.

"Yes, wait until you can't catch up with us."Wang Wu also shouted, although his is not a racing car, but the lady riding a light bicycle, not too much effort.

The comparison of young people, both in urban and rural areas, is the same.The two people's bicycles compared to Ye Qin's Phoenix brand two or eight bars, no doubt the new trend is beautiful, in junior high school in those three years, who want to have such a bicycle, not to say become the focus, but more or more people for the side of the target.

Ye Qin riding the two eight bars have a history of more than ten years, or uncle before marriage at home to buy, some removed the paint part of some mottled rust, the back seat is tied with a slurry clean snake skin bag package.

For the variable speed bicycle, Ye Qin from the sixth grade, until the town in the middle school has been particularly eager.Thinking about whether the uncle or the aunt, or the grandfather really who will send him a, if he rides such a bicycle, the speed should not be fast.

But he also knows that this kind of thing will only happen in dreams...

The reveries in his mind flashed, watching Zhang Jianping and Wang Wu suddenly accelerate from their side, quickly riding in front, Ye Qin suddenly laughed.

Hands clasped the carjack, the person slightly bowed up, the ass lifted from the cushion, the whole body weight began to fall on the bicycle foot.The starting of the two-and-eight bar bicycle is relatively heavy, and each Ye Qin seems to have exhausted all its efforts.

After pedaling a few feet in a row, Ye Qin's feet changed faster and faster, and the squeaking of the flywheel chain was suddenly and hurried.

Ring the bell, the crisp bicycle ringing more and more crisp.

“Fuck, he’ll fly.”

However, after four or five minutes, on the winding Loess Country Road, two teenagers riding a variable-speed bicycle and a new lady's bicycle gasped, watching the croak but quickly disappearing in front of the Phoenix 28 bars, shaking his head for a while.

...

Xiaoli Town is the northernmost part of Xiu Shui County, today is not a day of market, but the main streets in the middle of the town are still quite lively.Especially in the vegetable market, there are many vendors along the street, and the sound of chickens and ducks and pedestrians who pass through the streets from time to time are intertwined.

Ye Qin carefully rode his bicycle across the street and soon came to a street behind the town government.

In recent years, the town has developed quite rapidly, this is still a dilapidated old street in Yeqin's first time, and now there is a row of three-story houses with white tiles.

The ground floor is a regular asphalt road, the first floor is a storefront, the second and third floor residents.There are still a few places in the distance after demolition, rebuilt under the plan, and the county and the city are not comparable, but also quite regular, can see the past.

Probably because the time is still early, in addition to one selling breakfast, the other shutter doors are being closed.

In front of a shop closest to the corner of the street, Ye Qin jumped down from the bicycle, and the corner of the bicycle was very good on the edge, and unpacked the cloth from the back seat of the car.

Looking up at the building in front of him, the anti-theft door next to the shutter door for people to cover up on the second and third floors, and the residents who want to come upstairs have already got up.

Ye Qin stood in front of the door and took a breath, not directly pushing the door in, but tapping the metal panel that knocked on the anti-theft door.

“Who?”Soon a voice came from inside.

The door was opened by a fat middle-aged woman, looking at the door standing Ye Qin, slightly staggered, and then squeezed a smile on his face, "Ye Qin, it is you, why did you come?" 」

“Hmm.”Ye Qin nodded in silence, this middle-aged woman is his stepmother Wu Fengqin, but after so many years, he can not shout.

"There's some fish here, and Grandma told me to bring it and bring you a bowl of dishes."Ye Qin handed over the package in his hand, and followed him into the door without much talk.

Xiu Shui County streams a lot of, these fish dry are basically Ye Qin carrying a battery along the small river ditch electricity, electric fish equipment is also simple, is a battery with metal conductive rod, and then there is a copy of the net.

"Sit down, and I'll give you a glass of water."

Wu Fengqin took the package in Ye Qin's hand, and the smile on his face was close to him.

"Don't bother."Ye Qin waved his hand, he did not want to stay here for a long time, directly said, "I was admitted to the second, the Lord and the milk is old, I want to ask, are you willing to help me out of the tuition, I will give you a few years."

When Wu Fengqin heard the words "high school" and "tuition", the smile on his face suddenly froze, slightly stunned, and then laughed, "Into high school ah, one or two?"

“Two in the middle.”Ye Qin hesitated a little, and answered in a low voice.

“That’s not a check on.”Wu Fengqin listened to the tone as if he was loose a little, "Well, I'll tell your father."He turned his head and put the fish given by Ye Qin into the kitchen, did not pour water, but went upstairs.

“Who is coming?”

Ye Qin was just sitting on the stool of the guest house when he heard a male voice above.

Although it was upstairs and downstairs, the voice was still clear and audible, and Ye Qin almost subconsciously left his seat after hearing the man's voice, unconsciously approaching the stairway.

"Ye Qin is coming."The voice of Wu Fengqin followed.

“What did he come for?”The man who spoke upstairs sounded indifferently again.

"He went to high school and came to ask about school fees."

"Oh--" The man's voice paused for a long time, as if to be silent for a long time, and asked half-shot, "one or two?"

“One in the middle?”Wu Fengqin said lightly, the voice raised a little high, "can be in the second middle is good, on the show of water ah, huh, you Ye family has not so good feng shui..."

"There seems to be nothing wrong with the other two."The man did not seem to hear the sarcasm of Wu Fengqin at all, but said slowly.

Xiu Shui No. 2 in the previous years of the reputation is not good, in the county there are a talent, the second out of the hooligans, until nearly two or three years successively changed an experienced principal, vigorously rectified the atmosphere, from the outside introduced a lot of excellent teachers, only gradually get better.

However, such a bad impression can not be changed overnight.

“What do you think.”Wu Fengqin's voice seemed to complain a little, "I tell you, Xuanxing will be the second day in the second half of the year, and the salary of my primary school teacher is not enough."If you start, three years in high school, every year will come out.University... University, Xiu Shui No. 2 can go to the undergraduate is not two people, Ye Qin this can be said, is high school, the city spent more money..."

“I know, I know.”The man's voice was slightly excited, "I have no money, and I can't pay."There is nothing to read about in the second, and the fifteen or six people, when he and he were so big, they all earned their own food and ate."

"I didn't tell you that."Wu Fengqin listened to the man's excited words, and the tone went a little softer, "I mean, give a little bit, save your relatives on your side look bad."

“Give me what!”The man upstairs said more and more fiercely, "Their grandfather, and their brothers and sisters, scolded for so many years, then let them continue to scold."I don't live like my parents and sisters in this life, I don't expect my children to grow old, they have passed theirs, I have passed mine."

The upstairs voice continued, but Ye Qin heard it here, and the back was completely unable to listen to it, standing in the position of the stairwell, holding his fists in both hands, his body tight, and his whole body seemed to be up.

The sight in front of him seemed to be a little vague, so he stayed, and he did not know how long he had stood.

It was not until the footsteps of the clicks of the rattling were uploaded from the building again that Ye Qin suddenly woke up.

Wu Fengqin, who came down from the upper floor, saw Ye Qin standing at the entrance of the stairs, staggered, then smiled and shouted, “Ye Qin, eat here at noon...”

Ye Qin turned around and ran straight out the door.

“Ye Qin, Ye Qin...”

Wu Fengqin hurriedly shouted two more times, and when she went out, the boy in the blue sweatshirt had stepped on the bicycle and did not return to ride away.

...

On the way back, the sun had risen, and the yellow dirt countryway was a little white with blazing sunlight.

On a steep slope, Ye Qin got out of the car and wiped his face with a sweatshirt, his eyes were red, and he did not know whether he was sweating or something else had entered his eyes.

The temperature is getting tall, the weather is hot, but Ye Qin's body is slightly trembling, only to feel a chill all over the body.

This is the third time to go up to tuition, the first two times are the first and the first three, those two times are the uncle with, he was expelled, I do not know what the uncle and the person talked about, but on the way back, the uncle's face is always not good.

This time, he heard it downstairs.

He did not know whether it was deliberately told to him, or whether it was unintentionally out of the inner thought, but these are not important.

He remembered the words of his uncle before going out to work, "Yeqin, you have to fight for breath!"You don’t have your parents, you have grandparents, you have your uncle.”

There is a saying that my grandfather used to say to him, "As long as you can read it, we will sell the house and let you read."

Compared with the two, look at the man who did not even show his face downstairs, Ye Qin only felt a moment of nausea.

“Ah!”

Ye Qin suddenly shouted on the road, the sulking in his chest seemed breathless.

Ye Mingwang, you have the ability to live, you have no ability to support, what kind of man are you!

“Oliday, you are a great teacher!”

“I won’t be able to see you low all my life!”

“Don’t go to school, go to work!”

“Ye Qin, you have to fight ah—”

The chain of the bicycle was crispy, the gears turned fast, and the yellow mud road was white, the teenager pedaled the bicycle hard, sometimes loudly venting, sometimes gritting his teeth.
