Chapter 116 I’ll give you a reward
Lu Ming's grandmother Liu Xianggui felt her heart bleed when she saw the dead chickens and ducks. Some of the chickens and ducks she had raised for three or four years were all dead now.

Fortunately, the winter is very cold, so the dead chickens and ducks don’t rot quickly and don’t smell too bad.It was just that more than 20 chickens and ducks were lying on the dirt road in a haphazard manner. With their eyes open, they looked horrifying.

Liu Xianggui buried the carcasses of these chickens and ducks in silence, and kept cursing those who threw rat poison.

Chickens and ducks are damned things in themselves. Now they are not served on the dining table. They are left with whole corpses and a grave. From their point of view, it can hardly be said to be unfortunate.After all, chickens and ducks are bound to die. How can things raised in captivity die of old age?

If the chickens and ducks were not poisoned and could not survive more than three days, they would be killed by Liu Xianggui and distributed to their children and relatives living in the county. Their flesh and blood would be eaten clean, and their internal organs would be thrown into the trash can.

Lu Ming stood in front of the chicken and duck graves, his grandmother stuffed three sticks of incense into his hand, and his nose smelled of gunpowder left by the lingering firecrackers.

Liu Xianggui's gray hair was covered with snow, and it turned completely white for a while. She patted Lu Ming's shoulder and said solemnly, "Three prayers." Then, she solemnly bowed with the three sticks of incense in her hand, Muttering words such as "blessing" in his mouth, he bent down and lowered his head to insert incense on the grave.

After killing chickens and ducks all my life, I never thought that one day I would worship chickens and ducks...

Lu Ming followed his grandmother's example and bowed three times in front of the chicken and duck graves. After completing the procedures of the older generation, he slowly left.

At the same time, Tao Xinyi went to the ticket office to buy a ticket, and climbed the beautiful mountain. The 5A scenic spot lived up to its reputation.

Unfortunately, halfway up the mountain, her legs felt like they were filled with lead and she could no longer climb. The smell of blood filled her throat, and she was too tired.

As soon as the snow fell, the girl stopped halfway up the mountain and took the cable car up the mountain. After seeing nothing unusual, she took the cable car down, took a taxi home, and handed over the 3 yuan lucky money to Lu Meiqing for safekeeping.

When the wind blows, the unburned paper money from other people's graves is raised, and it falls in front of the chicken and duck graves. The yellow-gray paper money with gray and black burnt edges is spread on the small soil bag. Burning, the smoke drifts crookedly far, far away, maybe it can melt the snow.

The New Year is very busy, and they have to rush to various relatives' houses to pay New Year greetings. They often eat at one house in the morning and another in the afternoon.

I ate big fish and meat all day long, the table was full of dishes, and there were red envelopes when I left.

Unfortunately, they had been on the train for more than 20 hours, and their minds were dizzy. Lu Ming, who had always had a good appetite, also lost his appetite. He could only rely on the joy of reunion to keep his spirits up.

Before leaving, Liu Xianggui put the free-range eggs stored at home into large empty beverage bottles, sealed them with tape, and asked them to take them with them.

During the last two days after leaving home, Lu Ming stayed at his grandfather's house. He took his grandfather to the county hospital for a full physical examination, but nothing was found.Lu Ming was worried and asked his grandfather to give him many instructions, but he didn't know if the old man listened.

At dawn, Lu Guofu and his family loaded up their bags and boarded the crowded train.

Lu Ming was lying on the narrow middle berth of the train, drinking mineral water, reading the questions and endorsing them.It was seven days after the Chinese New Year. After visiting relatives, there was still some free time for Lu Ming to stay up late and read at night.

A new year is like going through a catastrophe for Tao Xinyi, and she has to deal with the sympathy of many people.

But there are also benefits. She got a lot of lucky money, and she is not that prone to crying anymore. She simply can't cry anymore.

However, every time she heard Lu Ming's voice, Tao Xinyi always had a sore nose, tears in her eyes, and tried not to let the tears fall.They still go to the bookstore for self-study, write test papers, eat together, and study late.

With such continuous efforts, Lu Ming could clearly feel that his grades had improved again, but how much points he could increase would depend on the entrance exam.

Tao Xinyi didn't feel that she had made any progress. She had already reached the top. The last time she made progress was probably the year before last.

She looked at the composition written by Lu Ming, and said softly: "I think you can score about 48 points in the composition, and if you want to improve it, it depends on the intention of your composition. Most of the intentions of a level are related to family, country and the world, so you must have a heart You can look at many composition questions, write out your ideas, and compare them to see if they are the same idea.”

"Ah."

Lu Ming took Tao Xinyi's composition to read, and felt that his literary talent came to the surface, and said, "Indeed, literary talent can't be helped for a while. I practice my composition."

Tao Xinyi saw Lu Ming reading her composition, her cheeks turned red, and she said softly: "Do you think this is a flowery article, with the meaning of parallel prose?"

Lu Ming sighed: "Well written."

"Compared with Xuanxuan, my writing is very average. Her composition score is usually 56 and above, while mine is around 52. The reason I can score above 50 is by the accumulation of gorgeous words, beautiful calligraphy, and not bad writing The idea of ​​​​the composition. That day I called Lin Xuan and asked her to teach you the ideas for writing.

Xuanxuan taught me, I can't learn..."

Tao Xinyi said, with traces of melancholy hidden between her brows, she rested her head on his arm, lightly tapped his palm with her pinky fingertips, and closed her eyes:

"It's impossible for me to make progress, as long as I don't regress. I hope the college entrance examination will be more difficult, the harder the better. There are some questions that I can't do anymore, and I can't do them even if I kill myself.

It would be better if it were just a little more difficult and no one would know how to do it. "

Lu Ming held her hand, his expression moved slightly, and he said: "When I take the postgraduate entrance examination... When I test myself to solve difficult problems, I believe in one sentence. Use hard work to break the ceiling of talent. If you can't, then work harder and reach the limit.

No matter what the outcome is, at least there will be no regrets. "

Before he was reborn, even though he sprinted in the last three months of the exam, he improved by more than 40 points, passed the exam, and became the counterattack "dark horse" in others' mouths.

But Lu Ming always thought that if he had woken up earlier, he could have run farther.

If he had worked harder at that time, would the future have been different? Every time it was the college entrance examination season, he said he was relieved, but occasionally thought about it. The word "regret" is always written into memories stroke by stroke when youth is gone.

Tao Xinyi's eyes moved slightly and she said softly: "Lower your head, I can't reach it."

After hearing her words, Lu Ming lowered his head subconsciously and leaned close to her face, as if he was doing something similar.Tao Xinyi raised her head slightly, kissed his left cheek, and made a slight "wave" sound when her lips parted. Then she quickly moved away, took a picture of the math test paper on Lu Ming's hand, and said:
"Hurry up and make the test paper! From now on, every time you finish writing ten test papers, I will kiss you on the face, and you can save it. You can save up to ten times. When your total score exceeds me that day, I will kiss your... on the mouth!
You can still work harder. "

After speaking, she took a test paper, ran to sit opposite Lu Ming, and smiled sweetly.

Lu Ming held his forehead and smiled, feeling that the left side of his face was hot. He took the test paper that she had taken and started writing vigorously, even the strokes of his pen were a bit sharper.

After a few minutes, Tao Xinyi thought of a fatal question. She looked up at Lu Ming and hesitated several times. She lay on the table and sighed softly.

 In fact, a happy New Year is not necessarily a happy one.

  It’s just that people hope to be happy in the New Year.

  Wine and song, life geometry.For example, the dew in the morning has a lot of bitterness in the past.
