As for why Deng Yuhong didn't come, Yuan Xiaofang asked Deng Hongli, a student in her class, to ask at Deng Yuhong's home.
Deng Hongli brought back the words that Deng Yuhong was resting at home after being exposed to the rain two days ago and had a high fever.
The day before the exam, Yuan Xiaofang once again asked Deng Hongli to go to Deng Yuhong's house to see if she could come to take the final exam?
In the morning, after Deng Hongli saw her teacher, she said that Deng Yuhong's high fever had not subsided, so she went to the hospital in the town.
It doesn't look like a child in the mountains to catch a cold after being exposed to the rain.
Besides, Deng Yuhong has always been physically strong, so how could she have such a severe cold?
Three days later, the day of returning to school at the end of the term.
On this day, Deng Yuhong's seat was still empty.
This time Deng Hongli spoke hesitantly, and finally told the truth.
"Teacher, Yuhong's parents are going to marry her, and she won't come to school anymore."
"Married?"
Yuan Xiaofang was shocked. Although Deng Yuhong went to school a little later than others, she is only 15 years old now. An underage girl is about to marry, which is incomprehensible to Yuan Xiaofang.
"Yes, I heard that the man is a big fool from the next village."
"Why? Her grades are so good, she can have a very good future. The teacher thinks that with her grades, it is no problem to get into a good middle school and go to college in the future."
"Yuhong's family is poor. Her uncle is over 30 years old and hasn't married a wife yet. I heard from my mother that that idiot has a younger sister. As long as Yuhong marries that idiot, the idiot's younger sister will agree to marry Yuhong." uncle."
Yuan Xiaofang was so angry that her teeth itched: "Stupid. What era is it now, and it's still fashionable to change marriages?"
Changing relatives was quite popular in the feudal era. This kind of marriage goes against the wishes of the parties, has a serious arranged and forced nature, and violates the principle of freedom of marriage.
However, in the remote rural areas of our country, due to family conditions or other reasons, many parents want to marry a daughter-in-law for their poor or mentally retarded sons.
The act of sacrificing the happiness of one's own daughter in exchange for the marriage of a son is mostly a last resort for poor families.
However, in a poor village like Baoshi Village, girls from outside are of course unwilling to marry into this poor and clinking mountain, facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky for a lifetime.
So this kind of marriage conditional on exchanging relatives is more common.
And those whose families are too poor and have no sisters to change relatives have to be single.
In such a village, the previous generation did not have much culture, and they did not understand the saying that knowledge can change destiny.
For the daughters of the family, they will always be married in the future. As the saying goes, the water poured out by a married daughter is destined to belong to someone else's family in the future.
Therefore, it is useless to read so many books, as long as you can recognize a word, you should not be blind.
Deng Yuhong's parents naturally also had this kind of thinking.
The children left the school one after another. Yuan Xiaofang cleaned up the inside and outside of the classroom, and went back to the dormitory on the second floor to pack her luggage.
Yuan Xiaofang's hometown is outside the province, and it takes five bus trips and one train ride to get home.
It will take three days to get home neatly.
In the evening, I have to live in the town, catch the bus the next morning to the county, then drive the bus from the county to the provincial capital, and then take the train from the provincial capital.
After packing the luggage, the sun was only three poles high in the sky, it was still early, and there was still one thing on my mind, which was Deng Yuhong.
It's a pity that this girl was delayed after studying hard.
In front of the school gate, I looked around towards the mountains.
There are two blue tile-roofed houses facing each other halfway up the two hills.
Deng Hongli said that Deng Yuhong's home is halfway up the mountain to the north.
Although Yuan Xiaofang is a people's teacher, like most women, she has a very poor sense of direction.
She can't tell the south or the north. Since she has been teaching in this mountain for more than two years, she can tell the direction mainly by the sun rising from the east and setting from the west.
But now, the sun is on its head, and I don't know which is east and which is west.
I just remember that when Deng Hongli mentioned Deng Yuhong's house, she pointed in the direction of her finger, halfway up the mountain in that direction, and she could just see a corner of a tile-roofed house.
That place doesn't look far away, but it took a full hour to actually get there.
The real reason is that the road is not easy to walk. For a girl from the plains, climbing mountains, especially this kind ofIt is especially difficult to climb up the deep mountains.
Go up the last section of the slope, and the tile-roofed house seen at the foot of the mountain appears in front of you.
Yuan Xiaofang was surprised by the dilapidated tile-roofed house. The mottled earthen walls and the low corners had collapsed due to disrepair.
The tiles on the roof are already covered with moss, and clusters of unknown flowers are growing in the tile grooves.
There are also clumps of untended grass in the dam.
If it wasn't for the dog seeing a stranger coming and starting barking at her, she wouldn't feel like anyone lived here.
The big yellow dog was menacing, with bared teeth and a dog face, if it hadn't been tied to an iron chain.
It looked like it was about to tear itself apart for lunch.
Following the barking of the dog, the wooden door of the main room that had lost its original color creaked and opened.
Xiaofang was really startled by the half-body protruding man inside.
The facial features of that face were originally born out of harmony, and the obvious scar on the left side of the face was even worse, which added a bit of menacing look to that face.
Xiaofang has seen the owner of this face before.
Almost every day when she went to and from school, when she was picking up students at the school gate, the scarred face stood under the cypress tree opposite the school, staring steadily at the direction of the school gate.
Looking at it made her feel panicked.
Later, she reported it to the village chief Deng Songquan.
Deng Songquan's face was troubled, and he finally said.
"Teacher Yuan, this guy, he used to be a gangster, so we'd better not provoke him."
The old village head was also in charge. After that, as long as it was time to go to school and after school, he would stand at the school gate to take charge of security.
Later, the only male teacher in the school couldn't bear the harsh conditions here, so he packed up his things and moved out, leaving only a female teacher, Yuan Xiaofang, in the school.
Teacher Yuan, who was always timid, asked the senior students to take turns to stay with him every night when he saw this scarred face.
After such a year, nothing happened.
What makes Xiaofang puzzled is, what is the relationship between the scar face that the village chief said is not easy to provoke and Deng Yuhong?
Deng Yuhong's father?
"Excuse me, is this Deng Yuhong's home?"
"Teacher Yuan?"
Scarface moved himself to the outside of the door. In summer, he was shirtless and only wore a pair of colorless trousers.
"Yes, I am Teacher Yuan from the school. Deng Yuhong hasn't been to school for the past few days. I heard that she is ill, so I wanted to take a look."
