At 6:30 in the morning, Li Yi got up early because he did not stay up late playing with his phone last night.
Li's father happened to walk in, holding a green shoulder bag in his hand, which looked quite retro. Li Yi recently watched a period film on his mobile phone, which tells the story of intellectuals going to the countryside to teach. Many teachers who went to the countryside carried this kind of bag.
From this he could guess that the bag was at least 30 years old.
Father Li said, "This is the schoolbag I used back then. Yours has been chewed up by rats, so you can use mine."
After receiving a schoolbag, Li Yi opened it and took out basic pens and some stationery, as well as a bottle of water and a stack of banknotes tied with rubber bands. The amounts were not much, mostly one dollar, and there were also a few one hundred dollar bills.
Li Yi guessed that this was his father's money for buying wine.
"This money is no longer needed..."
Li Yi just took it out when his father stuffed it back into his bag, yelling, "Why not? Going to the city costs money for everything, even one dollar for going to the toilet. Are you planning to rely on Lily to spend money for you later? Our family is a little poor, but not that poor. My son should not give up."
That makes sense.
Li Yi took the money and planned to go to the city to experience the future life. He heard that people now pay by scanning codes with their mobile phones, and there is even a black technology of facial scanning payment.
"It's time for breakfast."
Li's mother's voice came from outside, and the two came to the dining table. Today's breakfast was plain noodles as usual, and there was only a poached egg in Li Yi's bowl. Although the meal was light, the father and son enjoyed it with Li's mother's cooking skills.
8:30, it’s the agreed time.
When he was about to go out, Li Yi was stopped by his mother again and a few hundred yuan was stuffed into his hands.
"Son, take this money and don't be reluctant to spend it when you go to the city later."
"Yeah." Li Yi did not refuse. After putting the money into his bag, he walked down the mountain along the path.
The mountain path can only accommodate two people. The better sections are paved with stones, but most of it is dirt. Father Li takes a shovel to clean it up every once in a while, otherwise the overgrown weeds will cover the road, and heavy rain will also turn the dirt road into a slide.
After walking several hundred steps, we finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. In the distance were large fields. Even between the fields, there were wide cement roads passing through, and there was a street lamp every 50 steps.
I didn't feel anything at home, but when I went outside I felt as if 10 years had passed.
——————————————————
Hanshui Supermarket is a grocery store covering an area of only 100 square meters. Although the place is not big, it has everything to meet the daily needs of the villagers.
There is a primary school next to it, which contributes a lot of pocket money to the supermarket every day.
At this time, a red car was parked outside, with a golden dragon head logo, and the starting price was at least 500,000. Two urban beauties stood outside the car, attracting the attention of people around them.
The two people were Li Lili and her best friend Tang Huiyun.
"Brother, where are you? Do you want me to pick you up? Okay, we're at the supermarket. Okay, hang up..."
As soon as Li Lili hung up the phone, Tang Huiyun came over and teased, "Oh, you're calling me so affectionately, I'm almost laughing. Lili, is your cousin so charming? As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family, why don't you introduce him to me?"
"Get lost." Li Lili pushed her best friend away and warned her, "You little slut, don't play with my brother. Don't have any ideas about him."
"What do you mean by playing? I'm not trying to cheat you of money or sex. I'm just trying to make friends. How many people want this opportunity but don't have one?"
Tang Huiyun held up her strong capital. What she said made sense. With fair skin, beautiful face and good figure, many people wanted to pursue her but had no chance.
"Besides, your brother will be my student soon. You won't have any say in that matter then, hehe..."
"Haha, you're awesome if you can catch up with her."
"I want to see who this person is that makes my Lily talk about him every day."
Li Lili was not optimistic that her best friend could pursue her cousin. She couldn't explain the reason, but she just had an inexplicable intuition.
Ten minutes later, a young man who looked malnourished and carrying a green backpack came over.
"Brother." Li Lili greeted very warmly, and the young man just nodded slightly.
Is this Lily's cousin?
Tang Huiyun looked at the other person. No matter from which angle, he was too ordinary, even a little unsophisticated. To put it nicely, he was a well-connected person, to put it bluntly, he was just a migrant worker that could be found everywhere.
Nothing special.
At this time, Li Lili took her best friend and introduced her to Li Yi: "Brother, this is my friend Tang Huiyun, also a teacher at No. 1 Middle School. This time, it is all thanks to her for the matchmaking."
"Hello, Tang Huiyun."
Although she was greatly disappointed by the other party's appearance, Tang Huiyun still extended her hand and greeted him politely.
"Hello." Li Yi gently held the other person's hand, and then let go without staying for too long. This attitude made Tang Huiyun very comfortable.
Many people like to hold the person tightly when shaking hands. It’s not to the extent of taking advantage of the opportunity, but it is a bit disgusting.
The three of them got in the car, Tang Huiyun drove, and Li Yi and Li Lili sat in the back seat.
Li Lili asked with some concern: "Brother, are you really ready? The questions in the current environmental exam are generally more difficult than those 10 years ago. Most of the big questions are beyond the syllabus, and there are also some logic questions that are especially disgusting."
"I should be 90% sure." When Li Yi heard that there were questions beyond the syllabus, he didn't dare to say that he could definitely do it. After all, he had only memorized all the textbooks in his current high school.
Tang Huiyun also said: "Don't take it lightly, Yucheng No. 1 High School's questions are the most difficult in the city. Although we are not a first-tier city, there are many people, so it is naturally difficult. Our questions are more difficult than those of most key high schools in first-tier cities, and your situation is special, so the school leaders have higher requirements for you."
