I really don't want to skip a grade

Chapter 15 I am premature

"Well, it's weird to say a bunch of English for no reason." Xiao Dong politely declined.

When people asked him to say it, he said it, looking like a fool.And there was no English-speaking atmosphere at all at this time.

Lian Tao also wanted to insist that Xiao Dong speak a few words in English. Xiao Dong pointed to the bus that was already approaching, and Lian Tao closed his mouth.

After getting on the bus, Xiao Dong found that Wang Jianming was also sitting on the bus. It turned out that this guy had gone two stops ahead to get on the bus.Seeing the three of Xiao Dong getting into the car, he lowered his head with a dark face. Today he can be described as embarrassing.

There were no seats on the bus, so Xiao Dong and the other two stood there. It wasn't until the bus was almost out of the main city that they got seats one after another.

The bus stopped and went, taking twists and turns, and walked straight for more than an hour before arriving at Bohaizi Town.

Bohaizi Town got its name from the fact that there is an inland lake covered with reeds that is tens of acres near the town.There are only four and a half streets in the town, and there are thousands of families living there, mainly relying on some large and small businesses nearby for their survival.

Wang Jianming's family owns a hotel and restaurant. The business is good and the family is well-off, so Wang Jianming has the confidence to pursue Ao Xiaoli.

When the bus arrived in front of his three-story hotel, he turned his head and stared at Xiao Dong, and got off the bus swaggeringly.

Ao Xiaoli's family owns a supermarket and has a good family background. She and Lian Tao greeted Xiao Dong and went down too.

Xiao Dong also got out of the car shortly thereafter, came to his old small courtyard and brick house, looked it over carefully with a strange feeling of familiarity and freshness, and saw that there were still stones on the brick roof. Some weeds were swaying in the wind, and the greasy uncle Xiao Dong sighed, feeling more realistic in his heart. I am afraid that there is really little hope of getting a sum of money from his parents to treat his frail body.

Compared with Wang Jianming and Ao Xiaoli's family, his family's economic conditions are really far worse. The income of a few acres of dry land on the hillside cannot be relied on to support the family. I have been working in a waste recycling company for more than ten years.

My father is both a rotating guard and a rotating waste recycler in the company. It can be regarded as multi-tasking by one person. My mother cooks for the company employees. The eldest son goes to high school, and the ten-year-old son also needs to go to elementary school. Although the two brothers do not spend much now, it is still an expense.

And as they grow up, their parents, who are almost 40 years old, gradually begin to feel pressure. This small family can only save [-] to [-] yuan a year, and the two previous lives are debtors, not far away. In the future, I will ask them for a house, a car, and a bride price, how can I not worry about it?
The most worrying thing is that his eldest son is too good to pick. It is foreseeable at a glance that there will be huge problems in finding a partner to start a family and start a business in the future.

Parents usually talk about these words at night, and the young Xiao Dong has heard it once or a half, and he himself occasionally feels sad when he says it.

No matter, since it’s here, it’s safe, the greasy uncle Xiao Dong breathed out quietly, took out the key and was about to open the courtyard door, but saw a tiger-headed boy running from a distance, followed by a couple, the man was considered tall Handsome, the woman is also considered pretty, with a warm smile on her face, but she is obviously not too young.

Xiao Dong stared at them for a while, then opened the courtyard door with a smile.

"Brother, are you back?"

Just as Xiao Dong opened the courtyard door, the thick-headed kid opened his arms and crashed into Xiao Dong's arms like a glider, almost knocking Xiao Dong down!
This little guy is only ten years old, but his forehead has reached Xiao Dong's chin, and his body is strong enough.

Xiao Dong's younger brother, Xiao Nan, is in the fourth grade of primary school. Compared with Xiao Dong, the first generation of "inferior products", Xiao Nan, the second generation of parents, is good enough, and his academic performance is also very good. Xiao Dong didn't even get a single certificate of merit back, his younger brother Xiao Nan's certificates of merit have been pasted all over half the wall of the house.

"What are you throwing at?"

Xiao Dong patted Xiao Nan's round head reproachfully. This younger brother is very close to him, and doesn't despise him a little because of his "inferior quality". Every time he goes home, he always has endless words with him.

Only in front of this younger brother can the young Xiao Dong find some warmth and confidence.

As usual, Xiao Dong greeted his parents and entered his and Xiao Nan's hut. The two brothers had to spend a long time in their own hut talking "confidante" before they should study and help with housework. Do housework.

Don't look at the young boy Xiao Dong as a non-existent and boring gourd who has no sense of existence in school, but when he comes home, he is definitely his younger brother Xiao Nan's emotional and life consultant, and occasionally takes time to consult Xiao Nan's studies.

The recently ten-year-old Xiao Nan has endless questions about "how to get along with his female deskmate". Xiao Dong can fool his parents' questions whenever he can, but Xiao Dong always takes the trouble to answer Xiao Nan's questions. guide answer.

"Praise her! If you don't have a good face, just praise her..."

"Brother, she looks...not bad."

"You have a good face, so why are you still having conflicts with her? You should cherish it."

Xiao's mother, who pays special attention to the cultivation of her youngest son, heard it through the thin door outside, and couldn't bear to listen anymore. She opened the door and reprimanded Xiao Dong: "Xiao Dong, you are going to die, Nan Nan is so young, you can teach him everything." What are they!"

Xiao Dong chuckled: "Mom, it's better to be quiet than to be blocked. Xiao Nan, does your deskmate often lie to you? You have to know that the more beautiful the girl, the more deceitful she is!"

"Sometimes she lied. She said her father was a high-ranking official, but he was actually a maintenance worker." Xiao Nan hesitated.

"Nannan, what do you care about all day long? Don't learn from your brother. He is too dead to support him. You have to study hard and work hard! Don't talk too much to your classmates who are not good at study, and be good at studying. classmates."

Without waiting for Xiao Dong to answer, Xiao's mother hurriedly corrected her youngest son Xiao Nan.

"Mom, your point of view is wrong..."

……

A lot of small talk and bickering.

After dinner, Xiao Dong took advantage of Xiao Nan's study in the hut, and when his parents were in a good mood, he brought up the matter that he wanted to improve his health with nutrition.

"Dad, Mom, you also know that I am a premature baby, and my body is not good enough. I heard from the school's physiology and hygiene teacher that ten to 16 years old is the most important period of physical development, and it is also the stage of sudden growth in height. At the age of 16, it is already the end stage of the growth spurt period. If you miss this period, even if you can still grow taller in the future, you will not grow much taller, so..."

Xiao Dong stopped while talking, because he found that his parents looked at him strangely, and they also looked at each other twice.

Xiao Dong didn't know what went wrong with his words, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally figured it out. In the past, the young Xiao Dong was the most jealous of others saying that he was a premature baby, and he would never take it so seriously, presenting the facts and reasoning. He talked to his parents about himself, so his parents were a little surprised to hear him tell them this in an adult-like tone.
