Doing It Over Again - Chapter 3
Things were sold at such a high price. After the trading company took the commission, he actually got about 300,000 yuan. After getting the money, the trading company was worried that it would be unsafe for him to take a child with him, and specially asked someone to take him to the bank to ask an acquaintance to set up a passbook for him. So he rested in Furong City for another night, and bought a bus ticket back to Peng County early the next morning.
After the car arrived in Peng County, it was already around four in the afternoon. He had several hundred yuan in cash, a household registration book and two passbooks on his body, and he didn’t dare to walk around on the street, so he rushed home.
Not long after returning home, Shen Shao saw his uncle and aunt hurriedly entered his house, and he was relieved to see that he was at home well. The uncle was smoking a pack of 50 cents worth of inferior cigarettes, and said in a serious tone, “Xiao Shao, your father is not a person. If you have any grievances in the future, just tell the uncle. The uncle has no skills, but he will never let you. Cold and hungry. You are still young, how can you do it without reading a lot?”
Shen Shao was stunned for a moment, then reacted, he left the house quietly for two or three days, and the uncle’s family didn’t know where they went, so they thought he was looking for the father. Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty, but he couldn’t tell others about selling antiques, so he lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry, uncle, I will tell you when I go out.”
Seeing Shen Shao like this, Liu Shulian pulled the uncle’s sleeve and asked him to say a few words less, then walked up to Shen Shao and said, “Have you eaten at noon? Go to the aunt’s house, and the aunt will make you a bowl of noodles to eat.”
Because he was in a hurry to get home, Shen Shao only ate breakfast, and he didn’t eat after getting in the car. When the aunt asked this, he really felt a little hungry, so he nodded embarrassedly.
“Then go to our house,” Liu Shulian breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Xiao Shao’s appearance, she should not have found his irresponsible father. “The results of the admission test are coming out soon, and the school is about to start.”
“The grades will be released tomorrow. If you are admitted, you can go to apply.” Shen Shao followed the aunt out of the door. After locking the door, he followed behind the aunt, listening to her inquiring about some things about her studies. Answered honestly. Looking back to see the uncle following him silently, he remembered that the uncle was like this in his previous life and never talked much, but he still took good care of him during the two years he was in junior high school.
The uncle’s house is very close to his house, and it takes less than three minutes to walk there. When Shen Shao entered the door, the two children of the uncle’s family, Shen Yuan and Shen Hong, were both at home. When they saw him, they ignored him and watched “Journey to the West” on TV.
Shen Shao glanced in the direction of the TV. It was a half-old black-and-white TV. Snowflakes were still flashing on the screen. The image was not particularly clear, but the two sisters still watched it with relish.
“I won’t show it to you,” Shen Hong was only a few months younger than Shen Shao, and seeing that he was watching TV, she said, “This is my family’s.” She heard others say that Shen Shao’s parents don’t care about him, they will eat it in the future Their family, drinking theirs, and spending her family’s money.
Shen Shao wouldn’t care about a child under the age of eleven, so he looked away when he saw her making trouble. When the aunt made the noodles, he just buried himself in the noodles.
“Mom, why did you fry the egg for him?!” Shen Hong saw that there was actually a fried egg in Shen Shao’s bowl, and immediately called out, “You leave the egg to him, not me, do you want to? Recognize him as a son?!”
The eldest aunt was embarrassed by the second daughter’s roar, and immediately said with a sullen face: “What are you making a fuss about?”
“You just want a son. Everyone said it. You and your father disliked my sister and I as daughters, and wanted to recognize Shen Shao as your son. You guys value sons over daughters!” You are biased!”
Liu Shulian was reluctant to beat her daughter, but she felt that her words were ugly. These days, because Shen Shao has no father or mother now, she and the head of the family can’t bear to take care of it a little more. Why are outsiders adding fuel and jealousy in front of their own girls, and I don’t know what their hearts are, so how will the younger generation get along in the future?
“Auntie, I’ve finished eating,” Shen Shao put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, “I still have something to do at home, so I’ll go back first.”
Seeing that Shen Shao didn’t even have time to drink the soup, Liu Shulian was so distressed and helpless that she swallowed such a big bowl of noodles, so she had to send him to the door: “Your sister is ignorant, I will definitely tell her, Don’t take it to heart, don’t hold back on anything in the future.”
Shen Shao smiled and nodded: “I see, thank you auntie.” After speaking, he smiled at the two sisters in the room before leaving the auntie’s house.
Shen Hong’s words were heard clearly by Shen Jianjun in the next room. After Shen Shao left, he came out of the room, looked at the noodle bowl with the soup base, looked at the two daughters with a sullen face, and lit the fire. A cigarette smoked silently.
Liu Shulian looked back to see this scene, opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything. After a long silence, she put away the noodle bowl and walked to the kitchen.
They all feel sorry for Xiao Shao, but people’s hearts are biased, and they value their own children the most.
Shen Shao went back to his home, because he ate too fast just now and felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach. It took him more than half an hour to feel more comfortable.
When he remembered that he was going to go to see the results registration tomorrow, he remembered the poor living conditions of the experimental middle school. Because there are very few students with rural household registration in the experimental middle school, the dormitory building was actually rebuilt from several former teachers’ offices. There are boys on the fourth floor and girls on the fifth floor. The two floors are separated by an iron gate. There are three rooms on each floor. The small rooms are crowded with a dozen people, making it very crowded.
Because the dormitory is cramped and crowded, many children who live on campus will inevitably have conflicts or chat late when they are together. Many children with good grades gradually lose their interest in studying, resulting in a rapid decline in their academic performance.
He lived on campus in his last life, and he doesn’t want to squeeze into that humble dormitory in this life.
After he became a chef in his previous life, he taught himself knowledge when he had time, and even signed up for an online training class, and finally got an adult university diploma. Now that he has the conditions to study with peace of mind, is there any reason not to cherish it?
After making up his mind to rent a house, Shen Shao got up to wash and sleep. There are a lot of things to do tomorrow, so it would be better for him to rest early.
In the early morning of August 27, there were many parents of students crowded next to the bulletin board of the Experimental Middle School. They were all waiting for the admission results. After all, there were only 80 places. Who wouldn’t want their children to study in a good class?
When the results were posted, some people were happy, some were disappointed, and then some people began to complain that the math problem was too difficult this time, and the last two problems even required junior high school knowledge to solve.
“The question is so difficult this time, and there are still people who get full marks in the test. Whose child is so capable?”
“Who is Shen Shao, 100 in mathematics and 96 in Chinese, ranking first.”
These parents asked each other and saw that none of the parents came to claim the child as their own. After sighing with emotion, they left the bulletin board with envy and hatred. Those who are related go to the relationship to see if they can put their children in the experimental class; those who have money are going to donate some school building fees, and also give their own children a place.
As for Shen Shao, who was worried about by these parents, he did not come to school. He knew that there must be many people going to see the grades in the morning, so he simply did not crowd with these people, and instead went to find a house. Finally, I found a two-bedroom, one-bedroom and one-bathroom house near the school. The landlord is a kind retired old couple. Because they are going to live with their son in the city, they are in a hurry to leave Peng County, so the rental price offered is very reasonable. .
Shen Shao took a look at the house. The doors and windows were strong, and anti-theft barriers were installed. The water, electricity, tables and chairs were also complete, so he happily signed a three-year rental contract with the landlord. Both parties were very happy.
After paying the rent for a year and taking the keys from the landlord, Shen Shao went to the street to buy daily necessities and several sets of new clothes in season.
He doesn’t pay much attention to what he wears, but most children of this age like to judge people by their appearance. The clothes are too shabby and they are easy to be looked down upon and rejected by other children.
Most of the children in their teens are still very naive, but it is this naivety that is ignorant of good and evil, and it is easy to cause harm to others. Maybe for them, it was just a few jokes when they were young, but for those who were hurt, it may be a shadow for a lifetime. Some rural children go to the city to study, but when they arrive, they hang out with the little ruffians outside. It is because of some children’s contemptuous eyes that they follow the “big brother”, other classmates will be afraid of him, and he will become a face. . Gradually, this vanity will ruin his youth and even affect his entire life.
In his previous life, Shen Shao was also a **** who was laughed at by his peers, but he became more serious about his studies because of these ridicules. But at that time, he was so poor that he couldn’t even go to a high school where tuition and miscellaneous fees were waived, because even if tuition was waived, he could not afford the accommodation and living expenses, and finally had to drop out of school unwillingly.
Even thinking back to that time now, Shen Shao can still clearly feel the unwillingness at that time, so he cherishes the opportunity to come back in this life even more.
After finishing the meal in the rental house at noon, Shen Shao took a nap before heading to the experimental middle school. The sun was still strong at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. He saw some students who were going to sign up walking slowly ahead with a parasol on the road. Most of the parents who followed were carrying things in their hands, some with books and some with drinks. such as.
When he found the bulletin board, he found that he had won the first place in the test and was assigned to the experimental class. He turned around and went to the freshman registration point.
Probably because there were not many parents and students at the registration point in the afternoon, Shen Shao found the registration office of class 1 and found that the person responsible for registering class 1 was Mr. Li, who invigilated him on the 22nd: “Hello, teacher, I’m here to sign up. .”
Li Lu had some impression of Shen Shao. Seeing that he was a student assigned to his class, he asked gently, “What’s your name, have you brought your photo and household registration book?”
“Bring it,” Shen Shao handed the household registration book and photo to Li Lu, “My name is Shen Shao.”
First place in this admissions test? Li Lu suddenly had a better impression of Shen Shao. After opening the account book, he saw the two red letters “Deceased” on one page of the head of the household. He was stunned and turned back, only to see Shen Shao’s name , then asked: “Who in your family accompany you to sign up?” Such a young child has no mother, and he does not know how his father treats him. Li Lu felt that the household registration book in his hand was a little heavy, and when he asked, his tone was even more gentle.
Shen Shao said in a flat tone: “My father left with other aunts. He said before he left that he would not care about me in the future, so I signed up by myself.”
