ꨄChapter 21
The parties involved in these matters are actually all gone, and all the past is inquired from the older local population.
The old people said that Quan Tusheng did not let the child go to school, but the child was motivated.
After finishing work every day, I secretly squatted under the window of the school classroom to eavesdrop. Without paper and pen, I used a branch to draw on the ground.
The old principal of the school, Jiang Quanlin, felt sorry for him, and visited his home many times, wanting the family to let him go to school, and even said that the school would waive all tuition fees, as long as he could go to school. Stay at home and do farm work.
In such a small mountain village, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the nine-year compulsory education is useless, and the whole land won't let anyone go, and the old principal can't help it.
It’s just that this kid is so smart, he doesn’t have a textbook, and he can memorize all the text after listening to the teacher read it once in class. He can write words that others can’t write after learning it several times, and he can write after reading it. Just listen and understand.
The principal really couldn't bear to let such a good seedling be buried in heavy farm work like this, so he asked him to sneak over every day to make up lessons for him.
In this way, Xiao Jiayang completed the six-year primary school course by himself with the help of Principal Jiang.
The principal specially arranged for him to take the entrance examination for junior high school, and he was determined to be admitted to the middle school in the county seat with excellent grades. The principal brought the admission letter from the middle school and went to the family again, persuading them to let Xiao Jiayang go to the school. In middle school, when he was responsible for tuition and living expenses, Quan Tusheng was furious.
He angrily drove the principal out of the house, then beat up Xiao Jiayang, tied him up with a rope and locked him in the firewood shed.
There was a sudden rainstorm that night, as if God was also furious over what happened to Xiao Jiayang, with lightning, thunder and squalls, the rain was so heavy that it seemed that someone took a big basin to scoop water from Skyrim fell.
The next morning, the rain was over and the sky was very blue. The villagers went out to the fields to see how the crops were damaged. When they passed by, they found that the family’s house had been washed away by the heavy rain. They called someone to dig, and finally found that Quan Tusheng and his stupid son were buried below.
It was already completely cold when it was dug out by the villagers.
But they couldn't find Xiao Jiayang, and when the principal was going crazy, someone found Xiao Jiayang in the firewood shed who was tied up and thrown on the ground, poured with cold rain all night, and fell into a coma with a high fever.
The headmaster carried him madly and went straight to the county hospital.
After waking up, Xiao Jiayang became an orphan completely, and everything in the family was gone.
Fortunately, Principal Jiang was kind enough to subsidize him to go to middle school in the county seat. People in the village said that they have never seen him back since then.
That's right, why come back to such a place that only left him with painful memories?
I only heard that there was a letter contact with Principal Jiang who changed his life, but unfortunately, two years later, during a summer vacation, the old principal passed away in order to save two drowning students.
