After sticking the certificates on the wall, Aunt Yi looked at the three certificates on the wall with pride.
Although Yi Zhonghai's previous awards and certificates could be pasted all over the wall, Aunt Yi still felt that Yi Xuexue's certificate was much better than Yi Zhonghai's.
If Yi Zhonghai's cards symbolized the family's past glory, then Yi Xuexue's cards symbolized the future. Although there were only three cards at the top, it was just the beginning.
Moreover, even in their house, they could hear the screams of the stick terrier opposite them. Without asking, they knew that the stick terrier definitely did not do well this time. However, this was normal. After all, even Aunt One, who had been at home all this time, had heard that the stick terrier often played truant. It was enough to see how often the stick terrier played truant.
There were very few classes in school now, and the boy was often truant. The time he spent in the classroom was probably less than half of the time last year. How could he do well in the exam?
When Yi Zhonghai returned home, he naturally saw the new certificate hanging on the wall. Since Principal Xue was no longer around, Yi Xuexi had brought his own test paper back this time.
Looking carefully at the two papers with full marks in his hands, Yi Zhonghai felt that no matter how tired he was in the rolling mill, he had the meaning to persevere.
"Studying. The day after tomorrow is the weekend. Tell me where you want to go. I'll definitely take you there.”
Yi Zhonghai said to Yi Xuexi, who was beside him, as he placed the two test papers in the cabinet like they were treasures.
When he was at work today, he heard from Bao Guangfu and Chen Nuanjin that the children from the North Korean War and the War to Resist the United States were clamoring to go to Houhai to stick to Ji Niaohou.
The two of them had also promised their children that as long as they got another certificate from the exam, they would bring their children along. They had also made an appointment to go to Houhai together.
The two of them actually wanted to ask Yi Zhonghai to invite Yi Xuexi over. When the time came, the three of them would spend the morning with the birds and monkeys, and then they would have a meal outside at noon. It would be a way to thank Yi Xuexi for tutoring their children for so many days.
However, Yi Zhonghai did not agree because he knew that Yi Xuexi was different from other children. Other people would rather go out to play, but Yi Xuexi would rather stay at home and read.
"Really, I want to go to the business bookstore.”
Yi Xuexi looked up happily.
He had planned this two months ago.
"Alright, let's go to the business bookstore.”
Yi Zhonghai was happy that Yi Xuexi was willing to go to the bookstore. He agreed with a wave of his hand.
Yi Xuexi could not care less about reading. He took out his small metal box and flipped through it. He had saved more than 13 yuan previously, and with the two he had saved, he had saved a total of almost 15 yuan. With this money, he could buy a lot of books this time.
Seeing Yi Xuexi counting the money excitedly, Yi Zhonghai began to plan. He felt that it was time to buy a bicycle for his family. He didn't use it in the past, but Yi Xuexi did.
It was time for Yi Xuexi to learn how to ride a bicycle. Moreover, with a bicycle, perhaps Yi Xuexi would not be cooped up at home all day.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai started discussing with Aunt Yi.
Aunt Yi agreed with Yi Zhonghai's suggestion.
The reason why their family did not buy a bicycle before was that she did not need it at home all day. Another reason was that the compound was not far from the rolling mill, and Yi Zhonghai did not need it when he went to work.
Now, if Yi Xuexi could be used, Aunt Yi would not object.
Moreover, over the years, their family had saved more than 5,000 yuan. It was more than enough to spend more than 100 yuan on a bicycle.
As for the bicycle ticket, he just had to inform Li Baocai when the time came. There was no need to treat and give gifts like others.
However, this matter was not urgent yet. Anyway, Yi Xuexi was still young. They planned to buy a bicycle before the new year.
After waiting anxiously for the whole day, Yi Zhonghai went to borrow a bicycle after work. The next morning, he brought Yi Xuexi to the business bookstore.
It was summer now, so the sun rose early. The father and son left the house before six o'clock in the morning. When they arrived at the business bookstore, it was not open yet.
He dragged Yi Xuexi to a breakfast stall in a nearby alley and bought 50 cents worth of youtiao. The father and son each had a bowl of boiled water to eat. After they finished eating the youtiao, the business bookstore opened again.
Just like the last time he came, because it was a holiday and a Sunday, there were already many people waiting at the entrance of the business bookstore.
After following the crowd into the bookstore, the father and son went straight to the English textbook section. Compared to other places, there were obviously fewer people here, and almost everyone was dressed in fashionable clothes.
In this era, there were not many people who could consciously learn English. Most of them were either rich or noble.
However, none of them looked down on Yi Zhonghai, who had brought his children here. They were already impressed that their children could learn English at this time. How could they look down on Yi Zhonghai, who was dressed in overalls?
Especially when Yi Xuexi took out a book list with the title of the book. This alone was enough to let them know that Yi Xuexi had a certain foundation. Looking at Yi Xuexi who was picking books in front of the bookshelf and thinking about their children, they looked at Yi Zhonghai with envy.
Yi Zhonghai straightened his back in front of everyone's envious eyes, just like how he had received the commendation in the auditorium of the rolling mill.
Most of these people were dressed in Dusk. Even Director Li of the rolling mill only had two pieces of Dusk. Usually, he had to wear two pieces of Dusk. To be able to make these people envious, Yi Zhonghai's pride was needless to say.
This was much better than in the library. When he was in the library, there were not many people in the English textbook area. Most of the time, the young people came because there were few people here. When they went to get the loan form, the librarian did not think that Yi Xuexi knew English. Instead, they thought that Yi Xuexi picked clean books and took them back to write and draw randomly. Therefore, their faces were a little ugly.
However, in the business bookstore, he was the object of envy. He even felt that he had to come to the business bookstore more often in the future. Even if he couldn't understand anything, it would be fine as long as Yi Xuexue could understand it.
After picking out more than ten books, Yi Xuexi didn't leave. Instead, he took out the exercise book that he had prepared from his small bag and began to copy on the ground.
He had brought less than 15 yuan with him this time, but the books he wanted to buy added up to more than 20 yuan.
Even though Aunt Yi had given Yi Zhonghai 20 yuan before he came, Yi Xuexi still did not want to use the money. It was his family's money, not his.
Looking at Yi Xuexi, who was lying on the ground and copying the book seriously, many people nearby were surprised.
They didn't think that there was anything wrong with doing so. In people's minds, there was a simple concept that knowledge didn't belong to individuals, but to society. If one wanted to buy a book, of course, it was fine. However, if one copied a book, it would make everyone admire him even more. At least this proved that Yi Xuexue wasn't the kind of person who would put away a book after reading a few pages. Only such people would be looked down upon.
"Big Brother, are you this child's?"
Looking at Yi Xuexi, who was lying on the ground copying books, a middle-aged man could not help but whisper to Yi Zhonghai.
Although he knew that most people who brought their children to the bookstore were father and son, the Yi family was different. The age difference between the father and son was too big. Yi Zhonghai looked to be in his forties, but Yi Xuexi was only six or seven years old.
"Yes, this is our child.”
Yi Zhonghai answered in a low voice as well, trying not to disturb Yi Xuexi, who was copying the book seriously.
However, although his voice was soft, the pride in his words could not be hidden.
"Big Brother, how do you teach children? To be honest, I have a child at home too. He's in the third year of junior high school this year. Compared to you, he's like heaven and earth. My child doesn't even stay at home for long, let alone reading. He only knows how to be crazy outside all day.”
The man in front of him was still wearing new dharma clothes, and he knew that he was much stronger than Yi Zhonghai. However, his face was full of worry.
With his ability, he was not worried about his child's future job. However, now was the time when he needed to learn the most. His child was going crazy outside all day. He would definitely suffer a lot in the future.
"I can't tell how he was taught. Our child has been reading since he was young.”
Yi Zhonghai replied embarrassedly.
Of course, he didn't know how to answer this question. Ever since he was born, Yi Xuexi had never made him worry about his studies. Even asking He Yushui to teach him was his own idea.
After that, he even scored full marks for all the fifth grade papers during the entrance examination, scaring the teachers in the school.
He didn't even need to say a word at home. Yi Zhonghai was afraid that Yi Xuexi would hurt his eyes if he read too hard, let alone rush him to read. He even told Yi Xuexi to rest a few times.
However, at the rolling mill, both Bao Guangfu and Chen Nuanjin had complained to him, especially Chen Nuanjin. She even said that he had hit Chen Jingjing several times, but it was useless. He still did what he had to do.
"Sigh, looks like this child is really different.”
The man could tell that Yi Zhonghai wasn't lying to him.
He saw Yi Zhonghai's work clothes and naturally knew that many children from working families did not like to study. Anyway, there was a substitute class, so they did not have to worry about their children not having food to eat in the future. Therefore, many adults did not care.
Yi Zhonghai was probably the same. From the calluses on his hands, it could be seen that he was definitely an old master. Even if he wanted to teach this child, there was not much he could teach.
"Brother, don't be discouraged. This child is always like this. Who knows, he might suddenly change one day.”
Yi Zhonghai could only comfort her.
However, both of them knew that they were just deceiving themselves. At this time, it was really too difficult to get the child to obediently return to the classroom to read. Even if the child suddenly wanted to one day, there were not many desks in the school for him to study.
After talking for a while, the man could only leave with the book in his hand. He used to think that children nowadays were like his own child, but after today, he realized that this was not the case. While his own child was crazy, other children were still studying hard. If his child continued to be like this, he would definitely suffer a big loss.
With this person, several people from the English teaching materials section came to talk to Yi Zhonghai. They were the same as the previous person. They wanted to ask Yi Zhonghai what secret methods he had to teach children. Otherwise, how could Yi Xuexi be so serious about studying at such a young age?
Yi Zhonghai could only perfunctorily answer them like before. He was not a teacher in school, so how could he know how to make the children interested in learning?
The others did not believe it at first, but after asking a few questions, they knew that Yi Zhonghai was not lying to them.
However, when they left, they were all in a bad mood.
This was the capital, and there was no shortage of officials. Most of them were from various ministries and usually sat in the office. Otherwise, they would not have used English books.
Previously, even if they did not say it on the surface, they still looked down on workers like Yi Zhonghai in their hearts.
But now, their own child only knew how to go crazy outside, compete with others, and argue about how he was a hero. As for Yi Zhonghai's son, he was copying books and studying in the bookstore.
Yi Zhonghai was already better than them in this aspect. Even if they were better than Yi Zhonghai in other aspects, they were far inferior in terms of family education.
After knowing this, it would be strange if they could be in a good mood.
On the other hand, Yi Zhonghai was in a good mood. He looked at the people who were dressed in fine clothes and had fair hands asking him how to teach their children. This made Yi Zhonghai feel even happier than when he had passed the evaluation test back then.
At that time, it only symbolized that he had a future, but now, it symbolized that he had security for his entire life.
When it was lunchtime, Yi Zhonghai saw that Yi Xuexi was still copying books, so he asked the shop assistant to help him look after Yi Xuexi. He went out to buy some lunch.
Even during lunch, Yi Xuexi didn't stop copying books. He had already copied the knowledge points in two books in the morning, and his goal today was to copy the five most expensive books.
In order to prevent the smell of food from annoying others, Yi Xuexi also moved the location of copying books to a window to eat and copy.
After eating, Yi Xuexi returned to his previous place and began to copy his books.
However, after Yi Xuexi copied for a while, a young man came to the English teaching materials section and started flipping through the books.
This made Yi Xuexi frown. Not only Yi Xuexi, but the people nearby also looked unhappy.
