Before Pei Yan came to Xiangyang Village, he was already in the fifth grade of elementary school. After coming here, he finished elementary school with his peers nearby.
By the time he was in junior high school, he was able to go to school independently.
But he often kept to himself, didn't like hanging out with the kids in the village, and wasn't talkative. He went home after school every day and was very well-behaved.
At that time, Grandma Dong was worried that he was still young and wanted to send him to school. She managed to send him twice, but after that, Pei Yan refused to let her go.
The primary school in the city is far away, so Pei Yan has to get up very early every day so that he can get to school in time and not be late.
Every time Grandma Dong waited for him to leave, she would quietly follow him. When she saw that he could really do it alone, she would stop following him.
After Pei Yan graduated from junior high school, he had always had good grades and was admitted to high school. However, because of those movements, the students in the school did not go to school and the teachers did not dare to teach, so the school was gradually closed.
Pei Yan had no choice but to return to Xiangyang Village and go to work with Grandma Dong.
Later, I met Mr. Gao and started working in the black market.
Grandma Dong was in poor health, so Pei Yan didn't let her go to work, and he was able to support the family slowly.
Fortunately, Grandma Dong also knew that Pei Yan had a hard time and understood what he was doing. She just reminded him to be careful and did not stop him.
Although the college entrance examination is still three years away, Xu Zhiyi not only started studying himself, but also encouraged his friends to study together.
Pei Yan was naturally willing.
Ask Old Zhang and Old Li in the cowshed for help if you don't understand anything. Pei Yan's learning and comprehension abilities in math, physics, and chemistry are much better than most people.
And they can also draw inferences about other situations.
Even Lao Li and Lao Zhang sighed that if the school was still there, they would have studied hard and perhaps become the top scorer.
At first, Xu Zhiyi could still explain it to Pei Yan, but as the difficulty grew, no one else could except Xu Zhiyi.
Xu Zhiyi even asked Uncle Zhang to prepare some test questions and test points, and copied a copy of the test paper and sent it back to Xu Sheng.
In the letter, Jiang also asked whether Mr. Xu was following the study plan. If he did not study hard, she would let Jiang's mother supervise him.
No matter how upset Xu Sheng was after receiving the letter, he still had to bite the bullet and continue studying because he had a headache looking at the key points.
Fortunately, there was still a lot of time, and Xu Zhiyi didn't really push Xu Sheng too hard. It's just that children of this age need more attention, otherwise their attention will easily be distracted.
Pei Yan bought a lot of books from the toll station in the city and brought them back to Xu Zhiyi. Xu Zhiyi put the books on the bookshelf in the living room. Some books that could not be displayed were placed elsewhere.
Xu Zhiyi rarely has strangers coming to his place, so just in case, the bookshelves are filled with normal books, including, of course, the Red Book and Quotations from Chairman Mao.
Xu Zhiyi's life in the countryside couldn't be more fulfilling.
Gan Tiantian liked Xu Zhiyi's yard, part of which was planted with vegetables, red, green, yellow flowers, tomatoes, and peppers, which was pleasing to the eye.
The vegetable garden is neat, even with the racks it doesn't look messy, there are no weeds, and it looks neat and beautiful.
The other part was planted with flowers, clusters of plants blooming brilliantly. The wild roses on the mountain were in large, brilliant pink blossoms.
Rows of flowers are planted next to the wall, with clusters of flowers wrapping around the wall and blooming brilliantly.
Warm and beautiful.
From a distance, the entire wooden house is located in a piece of green, which is definitely a paradise.
The grape racks have already produced bunches of small grapes. The lush vines have covered the entire wooden rack, with occasional gaps showing through which the sun shines.
Xu Zhiyi loves to sit under the grape tree and read. When he gets tired of reading, he walks around the yard and feels relaxed.
As the weather gradually got warmer, the water level in the river at the entrance of the village rose a lot. The adults in the village told their children thousands of times not to go to the river to play.
They also let the older children keep an eye on their younger siblings.
Who knew that the child was so playful that he still remembered the little fish in the ditch by the river. When he got to the river, he found that the water was too deep and the ditch had been submerged.
The children were laughing and playing, and didn't notice the danger by the river at all. They only heard a "splash" and a child fell into the river.
The villagers were all working in the fields. The older children were cutting grass to earn work points. The ones present were only five or six years old.
The child struggled desperately in the river, the children on the shore panicked, and the other child found a stick and approached the river to try to get him to grab the stick.
The child who fell into the water was thrashing around in the water, too frightened to even think about grabbing the rope.
Instead, it struggled more and more violently, getting further and further away from the river.
"Go find someone, find Dad!"
The clever Hu Zi now knew that he had to find adults, and hurriedly ran to the field.
There were shouting and crying sounds mixed together by the river.
On the way, Huzi met Shitou, who was carrying a large basket of pig grass. "Brother Shitou, An'an fell... fell into the water."
An An is the child of Uncle Shi Tou, and she is four years old this year.
When Shitou heard this, he immediately threw away the backpack.
"Where did it fall?"
"Fall, fall into the ditch."
Hu Zi ran quickly and said while panting.
Shitou knew where the small ditch was. When the river dried up, the terrain there was lower and there were many small fish in the small pond.
"Hu Zi, go find someone, I'll go save An An." After saying that, Shi Tou ran towards the river very quickly.
Hu Zi stumbled and continued to run into the field.
An An in the river was struggling so hard that he was almost out of strength and was about to sink.
The two men who had just reached the entrance of the village heard the crying of a child coming from the river. One of them quickened his pace and ran towards the source of the sound.
The person who came was Pei Yan.
Following behind him was Gao Zhan.
Pei Yan saw several children crying by the river, and two of them were holding wooden sticks and reaching into the river.
There was a child struggling in the middle of the river. Pei Yan didn't have time to think and dived into the water.
Pei Yan jumped into the water, picked up the drowning An An, and swam towards the shore.
At this time, Shitou, who ran over, saw Pei Yan bringing An An to the shore. He waded into the water and took An An from Pei Yan's hands.
Shitou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and kept shouting, "An An!"
An An's face was pale and his eyes were closed. Shi Tou held the unconscious An An and was about to go to the health center.
"Shitou, put An An down quickly!" Xu Zhiyi's voice came from the side.
I was originally planning to pick some herbs in the grass on the other side of the river, but I heard the noise over here.
When she came over, she happened to see Shi Tou taking An An from Pei Yan.
"Sister Zhiyi, I can't wake An An up." Shi Tou spoke excitedly, his voice trembling with anxiety and fear.
Once, a child fell into this river while playing and drowned. He could not be rescued. Shitou, who was seven or eight years old at the time, saw it with his own eyes while hiding behind an adult.
