"Niu Ye, your father gave it to you, just keep it. If you have nothing else, you can go to the foreign exchange shop. If you want anything, you can buy it yourself."
For other parents, if their children have some money, their mothers will keep it to use it as a reason to marry a wife in the future.
How could it be like Niu Ma, who not only refused to accept the money, but also encouraged Niu Ye to accept the money.
Niu Ye just kept the money and planned to go to the foreign exchange store when he got the chance.
Of course, Dad Niu not only dotes on Niu Ye, his son, but he is also very kind to Niu Mom, his daughter-in-law.
Every time I come home, I take the initiative to hand over my wages, and the gifts I buy for Niu’s mother are no less than those I buy for Niu Ye.
Dad Niu, after coming back, the Niu family became even more lively.
In the past, when Niu Ye was the only one at home, he only attracted children.
After Cow Dad came back, he attracted all the adults.
Even if you don't get any advantage, listening to Niu Dad's experiences in foreign countries that are both true and false is enough to brag about.
Even Qiao Yicheng, their crooked father, Qiao Zuwang, wasted two days playing mahjong and listened to Niu's father bragging for two days.
Not long after Dad Niu came back, the college entrance examination passed, and then the time came to New Year's Day in 1978.
Because Dad Niu couldn’t wait for the Chinese New Year and wanted to continue boarding the ship.
In this Gregorian year, even if it is the Niu family's New Year, it should be said that Niu's father comes back once a year. When will he come back and the family is reunited, it will be the Niu family's New Year.
After the reunion, they were separated again, and Dad Niu left again to go to sea.
Mother Niu had been depressed for a long time, often wiping her tears secretly.
Although the Niu family is the richest man in the courtyard, they are usually envied by their neighbors.
However, it is obvious that there are also difficulties in the family. It is not easy for husband and wife, father and son to be together for a long time and separated for a long time.
Although Niu Ye said that he did not want his father to continue to go to sea and stay at home.
It's just that Niu Ye has been saying this for ten years. A child, young and soft-spoken, is treated as a child's talk.
This situation in the Niu family will obviously last for a few more years. Only when reform and opening up takes effect and there are more personal opportunities will Dad Niu be willing to come back.
"Did you hear that Teacher Zhang was admitted to university?"
"I heard about it. I also heard about Teacher Wen, and he was admitted to university, and he was admitted to a better school."
"What's the point? You don't know Teacher Wen. My cousin's friend next door also went to college. He even took me to play with him."
By the time I got to school, the news was already spreading everywhere that so-and-so had been admitted to college.
With this group of people admitted to college, education is obviously much more valued than before.
The learning atmosphere is much better, and students are required by their parents to study.
Teachers also study in order to catch up with the college entrance examination in half a year and want to become the next wave of college students.
Teachers who have been admitted to university have already resigned and are preparing to go to university.
"Niu Ye, now you really have a chance. Study hard and you can become a college student in the future."
Niu Ye's reminder to Teacher Wang may have no effect. Teacher Wang, who failed the exam, is still the fourth-grade class teacher.
"Teacher Wang, this is also your opportunity. I believe you will become a college student next year."
Niu Ye also expressed his heartfelt blessings to this very responsible teacher.
After Niu Ye entered fifth grade, Teacher Wang was also very concerned about Niu Ye's performance.
"Haha, the teacher will not disappoint you students. Niu Ye, the teacher still wants to advise you that you can go to university now. If you want to study medicine, you can wait until later. You still have to ensure that you can get into a university in the future.
.”
"Teacher Wang, I still got perfect marks in the final exam this time."
Niu Ye shook the final exam paper in front of Teacher Wang and said.
After bidding farewell to Teacher Wang, the first semester of fifth grade has passed.
The happy winter vacation has begun again. The winter in Nanjing is still quite cold.
Even Niu Ye, who is used to the weather in the north, is really not that easy to adapt to the weather in Nanjing. After the holidays, he basically hides in the room next to the stove.
"Top 2, how was your score in this final exam?"
Niu Ye said to Qiao Erqiang who came from home to keep warm.
I don’t know if it’s because Qiao Zuwang has no money or because he is stingy. Most likely, Qiao Zuwang is more stingy. Usually, pork head meat tastes good when paired with small wine.
It was a very cold winter, and Qiao's family didn't even have a stove.
So Qiao Erqiang often took Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei to play at Niuye's house.
Only Qiao Yicheng didn't come over. He had a stubborn temper and was probably keeping warm in his kitchen.
This shows that Qiao Zuwang's father is quite a scumbag.
That is to say, some people can buy some iron pipes, burn more briquettes, and then move the kitchen coal stove to the main room for warmth. For this matter, they don't care about the children.
"generally."
Qiao Erqiang said with a guilty conscience, still somewhat ashamed of his achievements.
"My second brother failed the final exam."
Qiao Simei stabbed Qiao Erqiang in time.
"Simei, you're doing well. Come on, Brother Niu Ye, I'll give you a piece of roasted sweet potato."
"Second top, you still need to learn a little bit of knowledge. You can't even learn elementary school knowledge. You can't be semi-literate in the future."
Niu Ye didn't know when he got into the habit of being a teacher.
Niu Ye always wants to urge these younger brothers who follow him to learn more.
Each one of Niu Ye's brothers called him very affectionately, which made these younger brothers get two more points in the exam. Niu Ye's time as a big brother was not in vain.
Others, after Niu Ye talked about it, had some effect.
Only Qiao Erqiang can't see any progress. He can fail the elementary school exams. It's quite difficult to think about this.
Fortunately, it's not a college entrance exam. Otherwise, if the school fails, the school will generally recommend that you stay in the first grade.
Qiao Zuwang may not care about the results of the top two, but repeating a grade in elementary school will cost Qiao Zuwang one more year of tuition.
Even if Qiao Zuwang is not a person who likes to beat children, Qiao Erqiang will inevitably be punished.
"Brother Niu Ye, I really can't learn it. I feel dizzy when I see the textbook."
"If you feel dizzy after reading the textbook, I think you can only stop dizzy after seeing the food."
Niu Ye dried the steamed buns baked on the stove and handed them to Qiao Sanli to eat. Then he said to Qiao Erqiang, who was looking at the sweet potatoes, peanuts and steamed buns roasted on the stove.
This child looked quite irritating. He didn't want to give Qiao Erqiang something to eat that he had planned to give to the three brothers and sisters.
"Brother Niu Ye, this steamed bun is also baked. Just give me a piece."
"Second Qiang, your elder brother is very good at studying. Can't you ask your elder brother to give you some tutoring?"
"My eldest brother has to do the housework for the whole family, cook, and do the washing. How can he have time to tutor me?"
It sounds like it is quite difficult to count on Qiao Yicheng and take care of Qiao Erqiang's studies.
