The next morning, after they finished their meal, Tian Tian took the snacks that Shen Lingling gave her yesterday, took a basket and filled a sack, and went up the mountain to find Shen Lingling and Tian Yun.
Since the weather cleared up, there are fewer mushrooms on the mountain. Occasionally, you can find a cluster of mushrooms under a pine tree in the shade.
Fortunately, the mountain was quite big, and they walked around the periphery of the mountain and picked up a lot of mushrooms. Each of them picked up a small basket of mushrooms.
At noon, Tian Tian ate the pancakes she brought in the morning and had a quick meal. After going down the mountain and separating from Tian Yun, Shen Lingling and others in the evening, Tian Tian kept one third of the mushrooms and took the remaining mushrooms to find Li Jiuniang, exchanging them for more than one yuan from her.
Tian Tian was very happy after receiving the money. She thought that after a few days, the mushrooms on the mountain would increase in price again when it rained. By August, she should be able to earn more than ten yuan. Tian Tian had a beautiful thought, but things did not go as she expected.
August is not a rainy season. If it rains too heavily, she and her friends will have no way of going up the mountain.
Or there is simply no rain at all, like the drizzle some time ago. The weather is humid, but the rain doesn't get wet, so they can go up the mountain, which is suitable for the growth of mushrooms, and they can go up the mountain to pick mushrooms.
But things just didn't go as smoothly as they imagined. It rained twice in March, but Tian Tian still earned three or four yuan and was very satisfied.
As soon as August was over, Tian Yuan was going to register at school. Everyone was happy and excited, happy that Tian Yuan would soon be a legitimate college student.
But I was also sad that the commute to school was so far, and my family only gave Tian Yuan fifty yuan, and I didn’t know if it was enough.
"Tian Yuan, you should eat and drink when you go to school, and don't think about saving money. Although our family is not very rich, we can make sure you have enough to eat. Besides, the money for school is all earned by you over the years. You haven't even spent the money your parents earned. Your parents have also saved a lot of money over the years. If you don't have enough money for school, just write to your parents and they will send it to you." Lin Meiyu was always very worried before going out, and she would pull Tian Yuan aside and talk a lot.
"Mom, don't worry. Fifty dollars is enough for me to spend. If I can apply for a scholarship, the food stamps and money will be enough for my expenses. If I can't apply for a scholarship, I will think of other ways."
Tian Yuan felt that he had a great chance of getting a scholarship, because most of the students who took the exam had good family conditions. They were sent to the army and graduated from high school. They were either from the city. Both parents were workers, or they were from the military compound. Their families were already very good. Otherwise, not everyone could support their children to graduate from high school. Most of the people who could go to school in the countryside went to technical secondary schools.
Tian Yuan does not meet any of the above requirements, but still has a great chance of getting a scholarship.
Tian Lisong had never said much to Tian Yuan in the past. Even when Tian Yuan went to the army before, he just told Tian Yuan to be careful on the road.
But this time going to school is different from before. In Tian Lisong’s eyes, those who go to school are still children.
Tian Lisong was also out of character. He pulled Tian Yuan aside and gave him many instructions, "When you go to school, don't do those messy things. We are students, and our job is to study hard. If I knew that you were like those young people after you went to college, would I punish you?"
There was a commotion in the city recently. Everyone heard that a few days ago, another person had his head shaved in the shape of a yin-yang. Another person also died after eating small stones.
Now everyone in the brigade is in a panic, fearing that someone might come to inspect the brigade from top to bottom. Even during this period, Gu Xingshu rarely allowed Tian Tian to visit him, and he also hid all the prohibited items in his home with Gu Zhao.
It was a good thing that Gu Zhao didn't help out in the brigade. When he had nothing to do, he would take the initiative to ask Uncle Niu to go to the cowshed to feed the cows. Therefore, few people in the brigade knew about the relationship between them.
"Dad, don't worry. I will definitely not be the same as them. It is a rare opportunity for me to go to school. I will definitely cherish this opportunity." Gu Zhao said with a smile.
"Your brother is doing well in school. You don't have to worry about things at home. If anything happens, just write to your grandma. When your grandpa passed away, he left behind a few people, and the relationship has not been broken over the years. If there is really something that the family can't help with, grandma will write to them and ask them for help. Grandma has maintained this relationship for so many years, isn't it because she thinks that if something happens, they can lend a hand?"
Old Mrs. Tian was reluctant to let her eldest grandson travel far away, but they both knew how rare such an opportunity was for a child who grew up in the countryside.
"Grandma has put it in your bag. There are some white flour pancakes specially baked for you, five eggs, some soybean paste and freshly picked cucumbers. Eat them on the way to the bus. Don't be reluctant to eat them." Grandma Tian handed the cloth bag she had been carrying to Tian Yuan.
It is said that you eat dumplings when you get on the bus and noodles when you get off. But Mrs. Tian didn’t have time to make dumplings this morning, so she simply baked a pancake and used up all the white flour in the house.
Chen Guihua and Tian Lilin also gave Tian Yuan some instructions. After all, they were not Tian Yuan's biological parents, and Lin Meiyu and Tian Lisong had already said a lot, so the two of them just said a few simple words.
"Brother, you are going to school, take good care of yourself, I will also study hard and strive to become a college student." Tian Tian was not reluctant to leave Tian Yuan, at this time to be able to go to a formally selected school. Or college, who knows how happy it is, who knows, the gold content of this batch of students, even higher than the gold content after the college entrance examination is opened.
"Brother, when will you come back? Can you buy us something delicious when you come back?" Tian Mu couldn't stop talking about food.
"What food to buy? I'm buying food for you, you're really imaginative!" Chen Guihua knocked on Tian Mu's forehead as soon as she finished speaking, "Your brother is going to school, this is a serious matter, you think everyone is like you, eating all day long. And where can I get so much money to buy you delicious food? Can't you be more ambitious?"
