When it was almost noon, Tian Xiaoxia came back from school and saw Lu Cheng still chatting with his father at home. She was also a little surprised: "Brother Lu Cheng, you are here. What are you talking about with my dad? You seem so happy."

"Chat with Uncle Fujun about some things in the village."

Tian Fujun smiled and said, "This is not just a village matter. Lu Cheng is very thoughtful and far-sighted. Xiaoxia, you young people should sit together and talk more."

Tian Xiaoxia immediately nodded in agreement: "I also think that Brother Lu Cheng has a lot of ideas, and many of his ideas coincide with mine. We have a lot in common. By the way, Brother Lu Cheng, why didn't you bring your sister-in-law with you this time? I haven't met your sister-in-law yet, and I don't know what kind of girl would win your heart, Brother Lu Cheng."

"Xiulian is just a village girl and has not received much education. But she is simple and kind, which is what attracts me the most."

"Hearing you say that, I want to meet my sister-in-law even more."

"Then I will definitely bring her here next time."

Tian Fujun said, "Xiaoxia, don't you still have those high school textbooks? Lu Cheng wants to borrow them to take a look, go back and get them for him."

"Okay, no problem. But I want to ask, Brother Lu Cheng, why are you borrowing high school textbooks?"

Tian Fujun smiled and said, "Lu Cheng, you young people can chat, and you can also tell Xiaoxia what you just said. I have to get busy with work."

After saying that, Tian Fujun went into the inner room to deal with documents.

Lu Cheng repeated what he said to Tian Xiaoxia, slightly changing it. Tian Xiaoxia was also a little surprised when she heard it: "Brother Lu Cheng, do you think there is still hope for the college entrance examination to be restored in the future?"

"Of course. But this is also my personal opinion."

"No, I have had such thoughts. What is the difference between the current recommendation for college admission and the ancient selection of filial and honest people? How can we select the right college students? Without the right college students, how can we cultivate high-end talents?

But I don’t know when the college entrance examination will be resumed? Can I still wait for the opportunity to take the college entrance examination? I didn’t expect that you, Brother Lu Cheng, are so optimistic. "

"As a human being, of course we must remain optimistic and always be prepared. Have you heard of the bamboo law? It is said that bamboo grows very slowly at first, and it takes a long time to grow to two or three centimeters. But during this period, bamboo will continue to take root downwards and strengthen its root system.

When the time is right, the bamboo will grow at an extremely fast speed and can grow very tall in just a few weeks. This is the law of bamboo. When the time has not come, you must learn to keep taking root.

Waiting for spring to come and the flowers to bloom, the huge root system can absorb enough nutrients from the soil, usher in crazy growth, and enjoy the sunshine to the fullest. "

"You mean, you want me to study hard and not fall behind?"

"That's right. You should graduate from high school next semester, right? You can't fall behind in the knowledge you learned in high school. I recommend you buy a set of self-study books on math, physics and chemistry, and learn the basics when you have nothing to do. Even if you don't take the college entrance examination in the future, there is still a saying, "If you learn math, physics and chemistry, you won't be afraid to travel around the world. Knowledge will always come in handy."

"Thank you, Brother Lu Cheng. I've made a note of that. I'll get you my textbooks right away."

Tian Xiaoxia's grades were probably not very good, otherwise she would not have been admitted to Huangyuan Teachers College.

Of course, poor grades do not mean that she does not like reading. Tian Xiaoxia is just interested in some books that can broaden her horizons.

Moreover, Tian Xiaoxia has a unique vision and insight. She can see the problems of this era at a glance and bravely point them out. She has this kind of vigorous vitality and ideas that are different from those of young people of this era. To some extent, these are more important than grades.

Lu Cheng didn't expect to directly influence Tian Xiaoxia with just a few words.

However, this is just the beginning.

It was still the autumn of 75, and the resumption of the college entrance examination would be announced in the autumn of 77, with the examination at the end of 77. There were still more than two years in which Tian Xiaoxia's ideas could be slowly changed.

"Brother Lu Cheng, I want to ask you something. Do you know Sun Shaoping?"

"Of course I know. Sun Shaoan's younger brother is also studying in the county high school."

"Then can you tell me about Sun Shaoping's family situation, and then tell me about Sun Shaoping himself?"

"Why? Are you interested in Sun Shaoping?"

"Not really. I just think he has a different temperament. He doesn't look like a kid from the countryside. He may be more like you, Brother Lu Cheng, but not quite."

"Do you feel that he has a lot of self-esteem, but he inadvertently reveals his inferiority complex, and he values ​​his dignity more than anything else?"

"Yes, that's what I think."

"This is also normal. In fact, many children from the village are like this. Because their family conditions are too difficult, they are forced to learn to be sensible and understand their parents' difficulties. They have ideas in their hearts, but they dare not think about them."

In fact, Lu Cheng was the same in his previous life. After moving from the village to attend university in another city, he felt the gap between himself and his classmates, and inevitably felt a sense of loss.

Other students were on holiday and were busy planning trips and going out to play. Lu Cheng could only rush back home as soon as possible to help his parents with farm work.

Knowing how hard my parents work to earn money, I never dare to spend money recklessly and always choose the cheapest items first when buying things.

Even after I started working, I was always restricted by this idea.

After all, the lives of children from poor families cannot withstand any turbulence, and without any cost of trial and error, they can only seek stability.

Self-esteem is nothing more than a cover-up for inferiority.

"I wanted to help him, but he thought I was pitying him and was very angry. He even said that I pitied him because I felt superior to him and had a quarrel with me. How could he be so stubborn?"

Lu Cheng smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you want to give him money and food coupons directly, right?"

"Indeed, I put the money and food coupons in a book, pretended to drop them on the ground, and asked him to pick them up..."

"That's even more wrong. The more inferior a person is, the more they will value their bottom line, because that's the only thing they can defend. Just like Sun Shaoping, if he accepts your things, he is not Sun Shaoping anymore. If he knew that you dropped this thing on purpose, he would definitely think that you are humiliating him."

"Then what should I do?"

"You don't have to do anything. Just be well. If you ask your dad, he will probably say the same thing."

After all, Tian Xiaoxia was only seventeen years old at that time, and many of her ideas were not mature.

If we say that the love between Tian Runye and Sun Shaoan is caused by the gap in status and identity, it is because of their parents.

The relationship between Tian Xiaoxia and Sun Shaoping is also separated by Sun Shaoping's own self-esteem and inferiority complex.

Tian Runye and Sun Shaoan were working towards the same goal together.

The relationship between Tian Xiaoxia and Sun Shaoping has always been one of Tian Xiaoxia's silent contributions, and she also has to take care of Sun Shaoping's self-esteem. Even if she helps him, she cannot let him know and forcibly pulls Sun Shaoping back.

In Sun Shaoping's world, he is too humble, and only people who are as humble as him will be his choice.

Even if Tian Xiaoxia had been alive, it would have been difficult for the two of them to have a good outcome.

If Tian Xiaoxia is a beautiful ideal, it is poetry and the distant future.

Sun Shaoping is the ordinary reality. Even though he yearns for poetry and distant places in his heart and is unwilling to be ordinary, he is always bound by reality and dares not take that step bravely.

Of course, Lu Cheng didn't want to say too much. He just wanted to influence Tian Xiaoxia's life trajectory and let her avoid the life-and-death crisis in the future, and he didn't want to interfere with her.

This is just an ordinary world. Everyone has their own shortcomings. Everyone is ordinary, including Lu Cheng. How much can he change?

After all, Lu Cheng also has his own life and people to take care of and accompany.
