9. Someone is blocking the way
In the early years, urban hukou was very valuable. With urban hukou, not only did you no longer need to go to the fields to farm, but you could also distribute grain.
Even if such a policy disappeared later, some ideas were still there. For example, urbanites looked down on rural people, while rural people envied urbanites.
Zhuo Shao's parents are actually very envious of the people in the city. For this reason, they even spent 10,000 yuan to buy Zhuo Shao a city hukou to facilitate Zhuo Shao to study and also to let Zhuo Shao not need to farm in the future.
In a few years, the poor living in some cities will envy the rural people who have fields and homesteads, but at this moment, the urban people generally look down on the rural people, and most of the rural people's life is indeed not very good. ββThere are not many factories now, and it will take another five or six years before the state will fully abolish the agricultural tax,
People who live nearby often hear Qu Guixiang talk about Zhuo Rongming's country brother, and always think that he is a bitter peasant, but now...
"My dad has a train and can earn more than 100 a day for people loading goods. My mom also has a job. How could they have no savings!" Zhuo Shao ducked to the side, dodging Qu Guixiang's follow-up attack, and again Said: "The necklace you wear around your neck is still my mother's!"
Qu Guixiang wears a beautiful gold necklace around her neck. In fact, Zhuo Shao didn't know whether this necklace belonged to his mother. After all, his mother didn't like jewelry, and he never cared about it before.
But he knew Qu Guixiang.
This person is also generous to Zhuo Jiabao and Zhuo Rongming, to Zhuo Shao, Zhuo Ting and even to himself, he is very stingy.
For example, if she buys chicken, the chicken legs will definitely be eaten by Zhuo Jiabao, and Zhuo Rongming can also eat enough meat, but she herself will always only eat chicken heads and chicken feet. .
For such a person, she was absolutely reluctant to buy herself a gold necklace.
Qu Guixiang's expression became a little unnatural.
She really found this necklace from Zhuo Shao's house. She likes this necklace very much, so she plans to wear it for a few years. When Zhuo Jiabao gets married, she will use it as one of the three golds for Zhuo Jiabao's daughter-in-law. .
"White-eyed wolf, I raised you, but you are still talking nonsense!" Qu Guixiang was awkward for a while, but then scolded, while continuing to chase Zhuo Shao.
Zhuo Shao is quite tall, he is already 1.7 meters tall, and he is still growing, but because he lacks food during his developmental period, he is very thin, and with the boy's childish face...
Those aunts who had helped Qu Guixiang to defeat Zhuo Shao before began to sympathize with Zhuo Shao.
"Guinxiang, how can you beat a child like this?"
"It's not just eating instant noodles, why are you beating your child?"
"stop it now!"
...
The pregnant little daughter-in-law who had been glared at by Qu Guixiang before walked to a safe place next to her and said disdainfully, "Talking about how good her family is all day long, and asking someone to tell her son who she is. In the end, not a penny was his own, and the child would yell for a long time to eat instant noodles... Fortunately, I didn't tell my sister to her son. "
There was a lot of noise here, and after a while, even the people from the neighborhood committee came over.
Qu Guixiang finally stopped.
"Several aunts and aunts, I'm going to be late for school..." Zhuo Shao said with his head lowered. Qu Guixiang is not a smart person, but she is a little calculated. It is not difficult at all to calculate her.
"Xiao Shao, go to study first." Someone said immediately.
"Yeah, let's go." Someone echoed.
"The child was caught, beaten and scolded as soon as he came back. Hasn't he eaten lunch yet?" The previous pregnant woman came out of the corner and said something.
Everyone immediately looked at Zhuo Shao with sympathy.
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Zhuo Shao said.
Those people suddenly became more sympathetic, and a person who lived on the ground floor even said: "It's okay to be late for school once, Xiao Shao go to my house to eat something, and then go to school!"
Zhuo Shao was brought home enthusiastically by that person, and at the same time, some people who disliked Qu Guixiang or sympathized with Zhuo Shao were still discussing the affairs of the Zhuo family.
"The last time I visited Qu Guixiang's place, I saw her let the girl who was less than ten years old do the laundry. She still had the face to say that she was very kind to the two children!"
"Zhuoshao Primary School is in the same class as my grandson, and he has always been the first in the class. Every parent meeting, the teacher praises him. How can it be as bad as Qu Guixiang said?"
"I didn't expect this Qu Guixiang to buy a house for his son by making a fortune, tsk tsk."
...
Zhuo Shao had a meal at the warm aunt's house.
Although he has already eaten a piece of bread, the fourteenth or fifth-year-old boy can eat it the most. He ate three bowls of rice in one go, including scrambled eggs, fried pumpkin, braised tofu and dried tofu. By the way, he praised the dishes. .
At first, the aunt who felt that she had too little food at home and was a little embarrassed to call Zhuo Shaolai, was praised by Zhuo Shao, and suddenly felt sympathy for Zhuo Shao, and she became more and more disdainful of Qu Guixiang.
Zhuo Shao is undoubtedly satisfied with this situation.
He wanted to get rid of his aunt's family, but he was still a minor. It was difficult to do so, and it was even more difficult to cut through the mess with a quick knife.
Fortunately, there is now a good start.
Zhuo Shao went back to school after dinner, but when he arrived at school, his self-study at lunch had already started.
The teacher is away today, and the one sitting on the podium supervising the reading of the students in the class is the girl with the ponytail.
This girl's name is Tang Dongyan. Her hair is not very good. After she has a ponytail, she has a lot of small short hair on her forehead, but it looks very cute - she also has baby fat on her face.
Zhuo Shao was still a little impressed by her, after all, her grades have always been very good, and she is still very active in various activities.
"Zhuo Shao, you're late again, I'll write it down." Tang Dongyan glanced at Zhuo Shao, then wrote down Zhuo Shao's name in the notebook.
In the past, Zhuo Shao thought it was embarrassing to have his name written down like this, but now he doesn't care anymore. He sat down, flipped through the textbook, and borrowed the homework from his deskmate for "reference".
Little Fatty's words are much better than last time... Zhuo Shao looked at it and copied it carefully.
Now that school has just started, and there are no exams, Zhuo Shao doesn't have to worry about exposing his predicament that he can't even do math problems at the moment. Of course, learning is still necessary, and he has to raise his grades before the monthly exam. .
All afternoon, Zhuo Shao had been studying very seriously, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to dismiss.
As soon as school was over, Zhuo Shao picked up his schoolbag and walked out.
Zhuo Ting was still waiting for her in elementary school, and Zhuo Shao walked very fast, but he didn't want to walk just over 200 meters when he met Zhuo Jiabao.
Zhuo Shao has not seen Zhuo Jiabao for many years. After he was released from prison, he paid close attention to Zhuo Jiabao's situation. He knew that he had never been working and liked to gamble. After relying on Qu Guixiang to do odd jobs for him, he would not care about this person. And now, he saw the young Zhuo Jiabao.
Zhuo Jiabao is very fat, his hair is messy and greasy, he glared at Zhuo Shao, and then said, "Follow me."
Zhuo Shao's eyes flashed, and he followed Zhuo Jiabao into an alley.
It has been more than 20 years since Beimen Junior High School was established, and the location is also very good. It is a street when you go out. This is the most lively street in the whole county, and people come and go.
But Zhuo Shao followed Zhuo Jiabao into the alley. After walking for a while, there was no one there. After a few more steps, they came to a house with the word "demolition" written on the wall with a red pen.
The houses here are very old, and the people here have moved away.
Zhuo Jiabao turned his head and looked at Zhuo Shao with a malicious smile on his face.
Such a smile is no stranger to Zhuo Shao. He was often beaten by Zhuo Jiabao and robbed by Zhuo Jiabao when he was a child. At that time, Zhuo Jiabao showed such a smile.
His mother hated Zhuo Jiabao because of this, but Qu Guixiang protected Zhuo Jiabao so much that it was useless for his mother to be angry.
Later, when his parents died, Zhuo Jiabao became more and more reckless. Fortunately, he did not live with them, and the two did not meet much.
"Zhuo Shao, how dare you hit my mother..." Zhuo Jiabao clenched his fists and looked at Zhuo Shao with a sneer, but before he could finish speaking, Zhuo Shao was kicked in the stomach.
