It was almost the new year. The family had bought more New Year's goods this year than in previous years. It was necessary for the house to be lively when his son came back. Zhu Siqi did not go out during this period of time and helped his mother clean the house.
"Mo, Mom will give you money. Go buy yourself a new set of clothes.”Aunt Zhu saw that her son's clothes seemed to have been worn for a long time. It was almost the New Year, and everyone had to wear new clothes. This was the custom in the countryside, but of course, the adults were not included.
"Mom, I have money. I haven't used it since I got home. I also like to wear old clothes. It's comfortable.”
"You have money? Your master gave it to you?"
"Mom, have you forgotten that I can set up a stall to sell medicine? I earned the money myself. I went to Zhengzhou last time, so I still have more than 700 yuan left.”
"By the way, Mom, did you take the health pills I gave you? I made them myself.”
"Mom hasn't eaten yet. I'm going to give it to your grandpa and grandma."
"I see, but you have to take it. I see that your health hasn't been very good these years. I made the pills myself.”
" Okay, okay." Seeing that her son cared about her, Aunt Zhu was also very happy.
" It's almost New Year. You should send some of your health pills to your First Uncle and Second Uncle. They're getting old," Mother Zhu said.
"Got it. I'll go to the pharmacy tomorrow to see if there are any suitable medicinal herbs. If it's possible, I'll make another batch.”
The next day, Zhu Siqi also went to Chaoyang for a walk.
Chaoyang wasn't that big. It wasn't much different from the Santang Market in Sichuan. There was a coal mine here, and thousands of workers lived here. It slowly formed a small street.
There were quite a number of drug stores on the street. There were three or four of them. He walked to each one and asked the people in the stores to take out some of the herbs he wanted to make pills with. With one look, he knew that the medicinal properties were not good. It seemed that they were produced by a specialized drug store. They could not be compared with the natural herbs on the mountain. In this way, the effect of making pills would be greatly reduced. It was better not to use them.
Because the New Year was coming, there were many people who came here to buy New Year's goods. They were all carrying things on their shoulders and buying a lot of things at home. It seemed that the people in their hometown were starting to become rich.
At this moment, he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder, but he sensed that there was no danger. He turned around and saw that it was his childhood playmates, Zhu Daibiao and Brother Tai.
" I heard that you're back, so I came to your house to look for you. Your mom said that you're in Chaoyang, so we came over to take a look," Brother Tai said.
"My mom said that you guys were still in class, so I didn't look for you guys. Are you guys on vacation?”Zhu Siqi said.
" Today is the official holiday. I came out to relax." Brother Tai was in the third year of junior high school, while Zhu was only in the first year of junior high school.
"Let's go find the game console." Zhu Daibiao said. They were not interested in shopping. They just wanted to have fun.
"What game console?"
"You'll know when you go. Let's go."
The three of them came to a shop with the words " Game Hall " pasted on the outside. The house was not big, and there were rows of game machines on both sides of the wall. There was a room full of people inside. They seemed to be students, and it was very noisy. The fighting sounds, the sound of guns, and the shouts of the crowd were a little stuffy. Zhu Siqi was not used to it, but Zhu Daibiao and Brother Tai were very excited when they came in. Their eyes were fixed on the screen of the game machine.
Brother Tai was the first to wake up. He pushed Zhu Daibiao." Let's go buy coins first?”
"Alright, it's my treat today." Zhu Daibiao said. In the past few years, his family had set up a small factory, and his family had given him more change.
Zhu Siqi bought ten game coins for each person. He took a look at them. They were about the same size as one-yuan coins, but they were made of lead.
The three of them came inside. There were no empty machines now. After a while, when they saw someone leave, Zhu Daibiao immediately went to occupy the machine and shouted,"Come quickly, there's a computer here."
This machine was mainly used to open the game. It could be played by one person or two people. Each coin had three lives. Zhu Siqi had never played it before, so the two of them got on the machine. Zhu Siqi watched from the side. After watching for a while, he understood that the operation was actually very simple. A control lever controlled the plane to move up and down to the right. There was a button for the body bomb and a button for the body bomb. If there were too many enemy planes at the side and they could not escape, they would release the bomb. One coin only had three bombs.
Their skills were really bad. In a short while, Zhu Daibiao had used up ten coins. Zhu Siqi went up. He was a little rusty at first, but he got used to it after two lives were lost. He cleared the level all the way, and the two people beside him were dumbfounded. Zhu Siqi didn't care and stood up." Let's just go home.”
Zhu Daibiao took Zhu Siqi's remaining nine coins to the boss to refund the money. Zhu Siqi also took the opportunity to ask the boss,"
"Sir, what's inside the game console?”
"It's a computer board, a game made with a computer.”The boss didn't really understand.
" Oh." Zhu Siqi did not ask further. He had seen computers in bookstores before. They were also called computers. They were a new technology.
When he returned home, he told his mother that the herbs in the pharmacy were not good and could not be made. He would think about it again if he came across good herbs in the future. Anyway, even if he gave the pills to someone else, it wouldn't be a problem for them to take it for another six months. By then, his parents 'health should have improved.
On the first day of the new year, Zhu Kun brought his son to visit every family in the village. This was also the village's rule. Every family had to visit every other family in the village. Zhu Kun was also very happy when he saw Zhu Siqi coming to visit his family. He smiled from ear to ear the whole morning. The village was not big, so he returned after walking around at noon.
In the afternoon, Zhu Kun's former students also came to pay their respects. This was also an annual event at home. Although Zhu Kun taught in the first year, because he was very good to his students, many students would still come to their teachers 'houses to pay their respects when they went to college to work and return to their hometown for the new year. The students would also take advantage of this to gather together.
There were quite a number of students this year, about twenty of them. When they saw that their teacher's son had returned, they were happy for their teacher. Kun Zhu also told them about his son's situation. His son didn't want to go to university, and he didn't want to go to school after the New Year. He wanted to see if they could do anything about it.
At this moment, a student called Deng Haitao said to Zhu Kun,"
"Teacher Zhu, I have a cousin who did well in the college entrance examination last year. Later, he went to a private school in Jiangxi Province to study. They organize students to take the national self-taught examination and enroll students in the spring. Your Siqi should be able to go here.”
Zhu Kun looked at Zhu Siqi and asked for his opinion.
"I think it's okay. Let's go to that school.”
"Alright then, come with me to my cousin's place in the afternoon. He seems to have an enrollment guide there. You can choose a major there.”
In the afternoon, Zhu Siqi and Deng Haitao went to his cousin's house. After looking at the admission policy, Zhu Siqi chose computer science. His cousin immediately called the teacher in charge of the school's admission. As long as there were people coming to study, the school would have no objections. He asked for Zhu Siqi's home address and prepared to send an admission letter over. Zhu Siqi and his cousin, Deng Haihua, also made an appointment to go to Nanchang together for the Lantern Festival.
When Zhu Kun heard that his son had settled everything, although he felt a little sad, he did not say anything. Zhu Siqi knew that his father was still upset that he couldn't get into a proper university. He didn't say much, but he decided to get into a famous university for postgraduate studies in the future. When the time came, he would keep his graduation certificate for him.
After the Lantern Festival, it was the day when Zhu Siqi went to Nanchang. On this day, his parents and second sister came to the train station to send him off. There were many people on the train. Although Zhu Siqi and Deng Haihua got on the train, they could only sit in the aisle. When the train started, they saw their parents still chasing the train. They wanted to see their son again. As the train slowly lifted, they finally could not see him. Zhu Siqi's eyes were filled with tears.
