Chapter 334: Left-behind children【08】
At the dinner table, Father Xia said to Yuan Jia with a smile on his face: "Yuan Jia, your high school entrance examination results are so good, you really give your parents a face, what reward do you want, tell me, Dad will satisfy you!"
Yuan Jia glanced at Father Xia and said, "Then can you take grandma to the city hospital for a medical examination?"
Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Yuan Jia to make this request, and Xia's father and Xia's mother were also a little surprised.
Father Xia said: "Going to the hospital for a physical examination for grandparents is what Dad should do. It's not a condition. You can change it."
Yuan Jia lowered his head to eat: "Oh, that's gone."
Father Xia looked at Yuan Jia with a cold attitude and felt embarrassed, but thinking of Yuan Jia's excellent grades, he unconsciously took the initiative to explain to Yuan Jia in his heart: This child must be concentrating on reading, and he doesn't understand the world. That's how you treat people.
Mother Xia said: "Yuanjia, come with us tomorrow, your grades are so good, it's a pity to study in this small county, we will enroll you in a key high school, you will be admitted to a good university in the future, and you will have a good job after graduation. ."
Yuan Jia asked coldly, "What about Yong Xuan?"
Father Xia and Mother Xia subconsciously looked at Xia Yongxuan, who was sitting next to Yuan Jia, and said with a dry smile: "Yongxuan is still in elementary school, and he must not be used to changing schools suddenly. It's not like you are a junior."
Mother Xia asked Xia Yongxuan: "Yongxuan, are you not willing to part with your friends?"
Xia Yongxuan said with a sullen face: "I have no friends. Everyone says that I am a wild child without parents. No one wants to make friends with me."
He is not the only left-behind child like him in the school, but left-behind children are indeed discriminated against in the school, because left-behind children are wronged and no one cares. There will always be such grievances in school.
Xia Yongxuan hated parent-teacher meetings the most in his life, because his parents would never come every time a parent-teacher meeting was held.
Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia could help him hold parent-teacher conferences, but because only grandpa or grandma held parent-teacher conferences for him, the classmates knew that he had no parents.
Xia Yongxuan's thorny words made Xia's father and Xia's mother feel uncomfortable.
Originally, Mother Xia wanted to coax Xia Yongxuan to say that she was reluctant to let her friends, and then logically kept Xia Yongxuan and took Yuan Jia alone.
As a result, she couldn't get off the stage.
Yuan Jia already knew what they were thinking, and he said, "I won't go with you, I want to be with my grandparents and Yong Xuan. Since you guys are back this time, take your grandparents to the hospital for a check-up. Don't go back on your word."
This reunion dinner can be said to be unhappy.
That night, Xia's father and Xia's mother didn't fall asleep most of the night, and whispered how to persuade Yuan Jia to go with them.
Xia’s father and Xia’s mother are ambitious people, otherwise they would not go out to work and then open a shop and do business by themselves. They also want to make their small business bigger and stronger. They didn’t care about their children’s education before, they didn’t have any hope, but they had to Knowing that Yuan Jia was able to pass the high school entrance examination, he knew that his eldest son was a smart child.
Then they don't want to let the poor educational resources in their hometown drag their sons down, and want to take Yuanjia to a better school in a big city, and to go to a better university in the future.
The two discussed it in the middle of the night, and finally, considering Yuan Jia's firm attitude of not wanting to be separated from her grandparents and younger brother, Xia's mother said, "How about we take over both parents and Yongxuan."
Father Xia pondered for a while, then nodded: "Alright, just because the two of us are busy with business and have no time to take care of the children, bring the parents over, and they can help take care of the children. But we have to rent a bigger house. The house is too small to live in."
After the couple reached a consensus, they announced the matter to Grandpa Xia, Grandma Xia, Yuan Jia and Xia Yongxuan early the next morning.
Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia didn't want to leave their hometown. They didn't understand or speak Mandarin very well. They went to other cities, and their accent was incompatible with people in big cities. They didn't have old friends or neighbors to talk about. It was too hard. .
But it was rare that the son and daughter-in-law were willing to take both grandchildren by their side, so Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia couldn't help but hesitate for the sake of their grandchildren.
Yuan Jia and Xia Yongxuan didn't care much about it. Seeing that Xia's father and Xia's mother seemed to have forgotten about the physical examination again, Yuan Jia reminded: "Dad, you promised me to take my grandma to the hospital for a physical examination."
Father Xia and Mother Xia really didn't care much about physical examinations. They didn't have the concept of doing physical examinations every year to prevent diseases.
Even though Yuan Jia's repeated reminders emphasized that Xia's father and Xia's mother looked at Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia's tough bodies, they didn't realize that the two old people might be sick, and they thought that it was because children were thinking too much. Going to the hospital is a waste of money.
Just being a child can't say that you don't want to waste money to take your parents to the hospital for a medical examination, right?
So after Yuan Jia reminded again, Father Xia took Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia to the county hospital for a physical examination.
This physical examination found out that there was something wrong with Grandpa Xia's lungs. Fortunately, it was found in time, otherwise it would take a long time and others would feel uncomfortable.
Now it is discovered in time that Grandpa Xia can still be cured without spending too much medical expenses.
After Father Xia brought Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia back from the hospital, he said in a happy tone to Mother Xia who stayed at home: "Fortunately, I had a physical examination and found out that my father has lung problems in time, otherwise it will take a long time. cancerous."
Mother Xia was also startled, and quickly asked, "What's the situation now?"
Father Xia said with a smile: "It's okay, it can be cured if we find it early. Aren't we going to take our parents with us? It's safer to go to a big hospital for treatment at that time."
Now Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia no longer hesitate to go with Father Xia and Mother Xia. Grandpa Xia is ill, and Father Xia wants to take him to a big hospital for treatment, so of course they have to go with them.
In this case, even if Xia Yongxuan was unwilling to go with Xia's father and Xia's mother, it was impossible for him to stay in his hometown alone, so the Xia family moved to the house that Xia's father and Xia's mother rented out of town.
Xia’s father and Xia’s mother are still very economical in doing business in other places. The rented house is not big, with one bedroom and one living room, enough for two people, but now there are four more people, and it is impossible to live at all.
Father Xia ran for a few days and found a house with three bedrooms and one living room to rent, and the family moved there.
Then it was to handle Grandpa Xia's hospitalization, to handle Xia Yongxuan's transfer procedures, and to sign up Yuan Jia to a key high school... These all required them to be busy.
Now there is no household registration requirement for non-local students to study in big cities, but they have to pay a lot of borrowing fees. When Xia Yongxuan was transferred to another school, Xia’s father gritted his teeth and paid a lot of borrowing fees to key elementary schools.
It is easier for Yuan Jia to study in a key high school, because he has good grades. Even though he is in a junior high school in a backward town, the high school entrance examination is a unified examination in the whole province.
Even key high schools in big cities welcome the top students in the senior high school entrance examination.
After Xia’s father went to apply for Yuan Jia’s registration, he was smiling and in a good mood, and he kept saying to Xia’s mother, “Yuan Jia really gave us a face, and I thought he was going to ask people to ask for a relationship, but the admissions teacher one Hearing that Yuanjia was the top student in the high school entrance examination, he took me to see the principal without saying a word, and the principal not only confiscated the gift, but also waived Yuanjia's tuition and miscellaneous fees."
This good news made Mother Xia, who was worried because her family just supported a payment for goods, Grandpa Xia's medical expenses, and Xia Yongxuan's borrowing and reading expenses, smile on her face: "It's a good thing, I'm going out to buy some good food, and I'll eat it today. Good order."
Father Xia said with a smile: "Buy some snacks, I'll have two drinks today."
Living in a big city is very different from living in my hometown in the countryside, and I am not used to it everywhere.
After Grandpa Xia was discharged from the hospital, he recuperated at home. Grandma Xia was responsible for taking care of his body and worrying about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of his two grandchildren.
Yuan Jia and Xia Yongxuan are not sensible children, they take the initiative to share the housework and help Grandma Xia reduce the burden.
Even the dumpling disguised as a little fat dog is very worry-free. He will walk himself and help Grandma Xia go to the small supermarket at the gate of the community to buy things.
They had only moved in for a few months, and everyone in the neighborhood knew their family. They all knew that the Xia family had a smart puppy who went to the small supermarket to buy things with money and a shopping list in his mouth.
As for Father Xia and Mother Xia, these two went out early and returned late, busy with the business of the two clothing stores they opened. They rarely saw people, and seldom had meals at home every day.
Yuan Jia lives in this home, and feels no different from living in the countryside. It seems that he still only lives with his grandparents and his younger brother. As for his parents, his sense of existence is too low.
After entering high school life and the results of the first month's monthly test, Yuan Jia went home that day and was slightly surprised to see that Xia's father and Xia's mother were at home.
Then I heard Mother Xia ask him, "Yuanjia, I heard from your Uncle Zhao that your school has taken an exam this month, and the results have come out. How are you doing?"
Yuan Jia knew the Uncle Zhao that Mother Xia was talking about. Father Xia was an admissions teacher who knew him through Uncle Zhao's relationship. Uncle Zhao also had a son who was in the same school with him, but his son was a sophomore in high school.
He guessed that Uncle Zhao took the initiative to bring up the monthly exam with Xia's father and Xia's mother. Xia's father and Xia's mother did not know about the monthly exam, because they were busy with business and could be said to be indifferent to other things.
Xia's father and Xia's mother, who usually do not spend much time at home, were suddenly at home today, and even asked about the monthly test results, making Yuan Jia have the illusion that they came home specifically for his monthly test.
Yuan Jia replied, "The monthly test scores are not bad, I am still the first, and there is no regress."
Father Xia and Mother Xia's mood visibly improved, and Father Xia boasted: "Okay, do you want to keep this grade all the time? If you can get this grade in the college entrance examination, you can choose the best university in the country in the future. After graduation, you don’t have to work as hard as your parents to do business…”
Yuan Jia listened to the chicken soup for one ear and nodded, but in fact he didn't take it to heart at all.
In this world, he came to rest on vacation this time. In this world, he can lie down and win, work hard or something, and there is a younger brother who is born again.
Xia Yongxuan, the reborn, is working very hard to start a business ahead of schedule.
