Chapter 4 The Stage Is as Big as the Heart
It seemed to be Zhao Li's voice.
Wu Tao really wanted to stop, but the two or eight bars looked bright, but the brake pads had already been polished. In the event of emergency braking, you can only rely on friction, using the soles of your shoes to rub on the newly paved asphalt road.
After a series of unbearable rubbing sounds, Zhao Li behind her finally caught up on a bicycle. The plastic bag on the handlebar contained white steaming ice cream, Zhao Li took it out, handed it to him generously and said, "I bought too much, here it is!"
"Thank you." Wu Tao took it and put it in his mouth, and he kicked hard: "Let's go."
Zhao Li hastily squeaked twice, then dodged, and gracefully jumped onto the seat cushion of the sky-blue female car. It's just the wheels of the 26th style, and it can't run the 28th. After a few dodges, Wu Tao left him far behind.
"Ride slower, wait for me!" Zhao Li shouted anxiously without even licking the ice cream.
Wu Tao slowed down his pedaling and said, "My house is farther than yours. If you don't ride faster, it will be dark when you get home."
"Black is black, you are a boy, are you still afraid of the dark?" After finishing speaking, he stretched out his long legs and made a gesture to stop him: "Don't ride too fast, do you hear me?"
"Okay, who told me to eat people with a short mouth~" Wu Tao glanced at the leg, but he couldn't tell that it was quite slender.
"By the way, how do you plan to tell your uncle about changing your application form?"
Wu Tao let go of the handlebar with both hands, eating ice cream with a look of thought. He has a lot of reasons for applying for high school, so it must be right.
Just facing conservative parents as his current child, those reasons are useless at all, because there is too much God's perspective mixed in, and normal parents will not believe it.
So from the very beginning, he understood that this was not something that could be explained in a few words.
As for the drama of "the young man's body is shaken, the protagonist's halo is blessed, the bastard's air leaks sideways, the brainless parents bow to him, and he kneels and licks as he says", it is unrealistic after all.
Seeing that Wu Tao did not speak, Zhao Li was slightly surprised, and seemed to regain her psychological balance: "So you are so good, there is no good way to deal with your parents. I thought you had some tricks to make your parents listen to you .”
Nowadays, it is the duty of rural children to be obedient, and if they are not obedient, they will be obedient, which is the educational philosophy of most rural parents.
Want to negotiate terms with your parents? There are no doors!
‘You have long hair, what can you understand? '
‘I have traveled more roads than you have traveled across bridges, do you have the final say or I have the final say? '
‘My mother has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, how can I understand better than you? '
Playing around, bickering, messing around!
It makes no sense at all.
When ordinary children see this situation, they can't even speak a complete sentence, let alone talk about negotiating, persuading, and reaching a consensus!
So today's test is not so easy.
Thinking of this, Wu Tao pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's okay, the big deal is to move grandpa out!"
"That's right, at least you still have a grandfather who loves you and supports you! But what about me, alas..." With a sigh, Zhao Li looked sad.
"What's your business?"
"Say it, you are not allowed to laugh!"
"Don't worry, tell me."
"My parents plan to get engaged to me this summer, and they will get married when I graduate from nursing school." Zhao Li's tone was full of annoyance.
"Pfft..." Wu Tao squirted out a mouthful of ice cream immediately: "What? They start worrying about your marriage when you are only so old?"
"16, 17. Three years after graduation, 20. There are many girls in the village who get married at the age of 20."
Wu Tao immediately became serious, this is true.
These days, there are many girls in rural areas who leave the cabinet at the age of 20. Even early marriages that violate the Marriage Law are not uncommon.
"You don't like it?"
"Of course I don't want to!" Zhao Li pouted angrily, "I've seen his picture, he's as fat as a pig! I really don't know why my parents like him!"
"Is his family powerful or rich?"
"Isn't his father just a little director of the health bureau? What's the big deal!"
"It's no wonder." Wu Tao joked objectively: "It's good, at least you don't have to worry about working after graduation."
"What a fart! I won't tell you, hum!"
Unable to continue the chat, Wu Tao put away his teasing thoughts. Zhao Li's matter is much bigger than her own.
Weddings and funerals are a big deal in the countryside, and the flowing water feast lasts for three days. Although getting engaged is not as important as getting married, it is much more important than getting into high school and college.
It seems that Zhao's parents have been thinking about this for a long time! That's right, no one can worry about raising such a beautiful little fairy, so it's better to get married early and feel at ease.
Seeing that Zhao Zhuangcun was in sight, Wu Tao stared at the angry pretty face and said: "I'll give you a word, as big as your heart is, the stage is as big as it is!"
Seeing Wu Tao go away, Zhao Li muttered angrily: "What do you mean? Every time it is very polite, I don't understand it at all!"
Although she doesn't know much about the whole sentence, she can always understand it. It can be heard that Wu Tao is telling her to be a little more energetic.
It's unrealistic to have no heart at all, just expecting others to change your own destiny. Zhao Li turned down the alley in Zhaozhuang Village, and made up her mind that she must quarrel with her parents about this matter, and she must not give in to them easily.
In fact, Wu Tao's words were not only to enlighten Zhao Li, but also to warn himself.
The mediocrity and regrets of the previous life are not only directly related to his choice of the wrong route, but also indirectly related to his lack of energy.
A person without the energy to work hard and break the shackles of the pattern, no matter how miserable the end is, it is not surprising.
There are thousands of possibilities in the future, but my wish is to go!
Wanting to understand this, Wu Tao stepped on his feet more and more cheerfully. The poplar trees on both sides of the country road are receding rapidly, and after a while, Liyuan Village is just around the corner.
Before liberation, this land was originally a vast pear grove. After liberation, it was allocated to farmers, and was soon returned to the forest, but the name of Liyuan Village has been used all the time.
But now, it has grown from a dozen or so tenants back then to a village of around 2,000 households. And the legendary pear grove has been replaced by green farmland and endless vineyards.
Wu Tao's hometown is the first one at the entrance of the village.
Across a canal, there is the newly built asphalt road from Binhu District to the city. This geographical advantage is also unique.
Erba Dagang turned down the road, and suddenly a dark and shabby child threw himself in front of the car. Fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly and avoided it.
"Yo, black egg, what happened?"
Heidan didn't care about the dirt all over his body, got up and crawled behind him, "Brother Tao, save me. My mother is going to kill me!"
Not long after, a plump woman wearing a blue floral headscarf chased after her and said cursingly, "Don't run away if you dare, and see if I don't skin you!"
"Hey, Aunt Hua, what about beating black eggs?"
Out of breath, Aunt Hua put her hands on her hips and said, "Xiaotao is back, this kid stole money from the family to buy food, do you think he should be beaten or not?"
"Stealing money?" Wu Tao pulled out the black egg and said, "Then you continue to fight!"
"Brother Tao, you actually betrayed me..."
