Doing It Over Again - Chapter 10

What should come will always come, it is all destined by God. Shen Shao had just returned to Shenjiacun for a long time, when several men and women blocked the door of the house. They had dark skin and rough and cracked palms. At first glance, they knew that they were usually used to working as coolies.

“Wazi, just beg you as an aunt. You can ask your father to return the money to us. We really have no choice. Our family needs money to save our lives!” The middle-aged woman wiped away the tears on her face. The migrant workers in Linhai City, Shen Jianbing told them three years ago that his wife was seriously ill, and he cried and begged to borrow money from them to save his life.

Their families didn’t have much money at first, but they thought that Shen Jianbing had worked with them for three or four years, and he was a down-to-earth man. Seeing his dignified man crying pitifully in front of them, they couldn’t help but watch his family collapse. , so their families put together 8,000 yuan to lend him. After Shen Jianbing got the money, he gave them an IOU, swearing that it would be returned within six months.

As a result, they never saw anyone again after they left. They thought it was something at home that dragged them away, but they didn’t see Shen Jianbing coming back for more than half a year. They knew that things were broken, and they began to ask around about Shen Jianbing’s hometown. I found the place, but after hearing about what Shen Jianbing did, there was only a half-old child left at home, so I never came to the door.

Now one of their family’s children is sick and has been in the hospital for several months, and the money is really not enough.

It’s not that they have no sympathy, it’s just that they are cornered too.

After hearing the movement, the people from Shenjia Village also ran over. They thought they were forcing the half-eldest child to be indebted, but seeing this woman crying like this, and thinking of the child in the hospital, they were speechless. Now, at most, I can only call Shen Jianbing a beast, but it’s a pity for such a good boy.

Seeing that the middle-aged woman was about to kneel down for himself, Shen Shao hurriedly supported her with one hand, bit the corner of his lips and said, “Uncle, auntie, take out the IOU, and I’ll return the money to you.”

“Xiao Shao, where did you get so much money?” Liu Shulian was anxious and helpless. “It’s 8,000 yuan!” She knew that her sister-in-law had secretly saved some money for Shen Shao over the years, but at most it was not enough. About ten thousand. In the past three years, Shen Shao spent more on studying. If he paid back the 8,000 yuan, where would the high school tuition come from in the future?

Shen Shao shook his head and did not speak. It was also at this time in his last life that he was blocked at the door by these debtors, and he was full of fear, but he had to repay these debts. After all, for him in his previous life, 8,000 yuan was the money for his studies, and it was something that maintained his dream. But for others, it’s a lifesaver.

He could tell which one was more important and which one was more important. So even though he was reluctant to give up the money and the opportunity to study, he still exchanged the money in the end. In this life, he deliberately returned to the village in these few days, just waiting for these people to come to the door. If he didn’t know the addresses of these people, he would have returned the money on his own initiative.

“It’s okay, the money can be earned again, but the life-saving money must be paid back. It’s our Shen family that is sorry for them. They don’t owe me anything, and it is only natural to repay the debt.” Shen Shao turned around and took out an iron box from the house. Many, many are holding 8,000 yuan.

The middle-aged woman took the box with trembling hands, opened the lid and saw that there were a hundred yuan, fifty, and ten or five yuan in it. They were neatly placed. It was obvious that the stack of things in her hand was not heavy, but she didn’t. It feels over a thousand dollars.

She also knew in her heart that the money should not be taken out by the young man in front of her, but for the sake of her own child, she had to do such an immoral thing.

The other people were also a little flustered in their hearts. It was obviously the money that others gave them back, but they just felt that they were the bullies who bullied others, forcing a child to take out the money to settle down.

“Forget it, you can just pay back her family’s money. I’ll pay you back to me after you work,” said a thin middle-aged man smoking a pack of fifty cents, and glanced at the iron box reluctantly. , turned his head and said, “This money is reserved for you to study…”

Before he could finish his words, he was twisted by his wife beside him, so he had to take two puffs of cigarettes and fell silent.

“Thank you uncle, it’s just that the money should have been repaid long ago. It was you who took care of me and waited until now to ask for it,” Shen Shao smiled, “I’m sorry for my dad.”

“It’s none of your business,” said the smoking man in a sullen voice, “we’re sorry for you.” After saying this, he handed the IOU to Shen Shao and never spoke again.

When the people of Shenjia Village saw this situation, they scolded Shen Jianbing to the bone in their hearts. Seeing that the debtors left the IOUs and took the money, they felt more sympathetic to Shen Shao.

Liu Shulian frowned and said, “What can I do with this?” She looked at her fellow villagers and Shen Shao again, her brows furrowed with worry.

At this moment, they heard a voice full of joy coming from not far away.

“Good news, good news, Shen Shao from our village was ranked first in the county, and he was the first in the county!” It was Shen Guanghui from the village who came to spread the word. He saw a lot of people standing in front of Shen Shao’s house. Then he smiled and said, “Why so many people are here, you don’t know, when I passed by the gate of the Experimental Middle School in the morning, I saw a banner with the boss hanging on it, which said warmly congratulate our school student Shen Shao for winning the county’s high school entrance examination results. One, isn’t this our Shen Shao or who?”

“Really?” Shen Shao was overjoyed, “The school’s grades are out?” Although his grades were good in his previous life, he was still far from the first place in the county. Fortunately, his grades were not so good at that time, otherwise He will feel more distressed.

When the people in the same village heard the news, they were also happy. Their Shenjia Village could be regarded as a champion. Liu Shulian thought in a trance, the government will reward the first place in the county, and the school will not charge tuition fees.

“Hey, uncle won’t lie to you,” Shen Guanghui was very proud of the news he brought, “If you don’t believe me, go and see for yourself, the banner is hanging at the school gate, looking good!”

“Yes, you can take a look again,” several people from the same village also reacted, persuading Shen Shao to take a look again, so as not to rejoice.

“Then I’ll take a look.” Shen Shao went back to the house and picked up the bag he had already collected. After saying goodbye to the villagers, he left in a hurry. It wasn’t that he was really in such a hurry, but that he managed the affairs here. Afterwards, prepare to go to Furong No. 3 Middle School in Furong City.

Furong No. 3 Middle School is the most famous key high school in the province. In everyone’s mind, being able to enter Furong No. 3 Middle School is like half a foot into the university gate. If the grades of the experimental class students from this school are lower than the admission score of a university, they will have no face to show up. This shows how strict the teaching quality and admission requirements of this school are.

As soon as he arrived at the experimental middle school, he was discovered by the school’s teacher and took him directly to the principal’s office. Although the third-year students have graduated, the first- and second-year students have not yet had a holiday. In view of Shen Shao’s popularity in the school, many students know him, so many students in the lower grades have attracted strong onlookers along the way.

Almost everyone has these words written on their faces: FUCK, the county’s number one has appeared!

In the past two years, Shen Shao has gradually adapted to the feeling of being surrounded by people, so under these gazes, he can still take it lightly. When he got to the principal’s office and heard that the school would give him a bonus of 800 yuan and the Education Bureau would also give him a bonus of 1,200 yuan, his indifference turned to joy.

Who would dislike money coming too easily?

“Our County No. 1 Middle School and City No. 1 Middle School have both issued notices to you, and stated that as long as you enroll, you will be free of tuition and miscellaneous fees. City No. 1 Middle School will give you an additional monthly living allowance of 50 yuan, and County No. 1 Middle School promises to every semester. I’ll give you a subsidy of 800 living expenses.” The principal introduced the preferential policies offered by the two high schools, “You can think about which school to sign up for when you get home.”

From the point of view of conditions, the conditions of County No. 1 Middle School are more attractive than City No. 1 Middle School, but Shi No. 1 Middle School is the best key high school in their city. From a long-term perspective, it is better to list No. 1 Middle School.

Even the principal and teachers present thought so, but they knew the living conditions of Shen Shao’s family, so they couldn’t make this suggestion. Although the 2,000 yuan awarded by the Education Bureau and them seems to be a lot, in high school, even if there is no tuition and miscellaneous fees, reference materials and living expenses will cost a lot. Especially in the third year of high school, all kinds of materials are too much and expensive, and in the case of excessive use of the brain, high school students need to supplement the brain nutrition, otherwise they will not be able to keep up with the learning progress. These all cost money, and even the average family would have to tighten their belts to raise a child in high school, not to mention the situation in Shen Shao’s family.

After thanking the teacher and the principal again and again, Shen Shao made a special trip to buy some fruit and went to the home of Li Lu, the head teacher. After being forcibly left by Li Lu for lunch, he returned to his rental house.

In the afternoon, Shen Shao bought a ticket to Furong City the next day. Although three years had passed, the road from Peng County to Furong City was still not very good. He needed to go out earlier to avoid rushing to the vicinity of No. 3 Middle School in Furong City. It’s hard to find a place to stay.

Early the next morning, Shen Shao got on the bus to Furong City. After arriving at the Furong Bus Station, he took the bus again, and it took a lot of time to get to No. 3 Middle School.

Shen Shao went to No. 3 Middle School to sign up as early as last month when he was on vacation. Today, he came to get the admission ticket. After all, there will be an exam in three days.

After receiving the admission ticket, Shen Shao deliberately checked which teaching building his exam room was in, then turned around and walked out of the school gate, and booked a room in a nearby hotel.

Although the hotel charges a lot higher than the hostel, it is better than the hostel in the quiet environment and the sound insulation effect. He has an exam in three days, he must rest well, and he can also look at various types of physics and mathematics questions.

Staying in the hotel was a little boring. Shen Shao bought a few newspapers and magazines outside. When he turned to the International Daily, he found that it reported a 13-year-old domestic child participating in the International Youth Mathematics League with a huge page, and then passed five hurdles. The news that the sixth general took the first place, and the newspaper also specially emphasized that this student surnamed Gu is the youngest child among the contestants.

He looked at the color photos in the newspaper with some emotion. The child was very good-looking, with red lips and white teeth, and his ruthless appearance. He really had such a genius demeanor.

After reading this report, he felt that even if his brain suddenly became a lot brighter, it would not be special. In front of the real genius of others, he can only be regarded as a mediocre person who is pitied by God. After all, if he hadn’t had a good head in this life With a lot of use, even if he studied hard, he would not be able to remember so much knowledge, and he would not be able to get the first good grade in the county.

Closing the newspaper in his hand, Shen Shao looked at the time. It was already ten o’clock in the evening. He walked to the big window and overlooked the downstairs. The street was already brightly lit, and the night scene here was unmatched by Peng County. But at the last moment before his death in his last life, what he thought of in his mind was the days when he was young and ignorant, when he went into the water to fish for shrimps and went up the mountain to catch cicadas.

Maybe only when a person’s life reaches the last second, will he know how precious the most innocent time is. Unfortunately, time is fleeting, and when I want to look back, I find that the thing is human and has passed away.

He is a mediocre person. He came out to make a living when he was in his teens. Later, I was upgraded to a chef. I met a lot of people, and I also learned to talk to people and talk to ghosts. Even the usual diligent study of knowledge is partly for hobbies and half for more ink in my stomach, so that I can give money to the upper class family. When holding a banquet, if you meet a distinguished guest who is watching the kitchen, you will not speak without meaning.

Although… he never met Gao Fushuai and Bai Fumei who approached him. Well, life is so ruthless.
