Chapter 15: In the Little Broken Bowl
"Mom. β
Fang Nian turned around and saw the middle-aged woman standing at the gate, nodded and shouted.
Not much younger than I remembered, because most of the time I worked in the fields, I looked old.
Also due to labor, pigment is deposited on the face, and the face appears yellow.
At this stage, limited by the environment and daily labor, Lin Feng had no heart to pamper himself.
With the rapid development of science and technology and the improvement of living conditions, Lin Feng gradually returned to the normal state of his age after leaving the fields to work.
So it doesn't look much different from what it looks now.
Lin Feng said: "How many days will you put it this time?"
"Ten days. Fang Nian replied, "Go to the toilet." β
He turned around and went to the latrine through the gravel steps.
Fang Nian's mother, Lin Feng, most of the time, directly called Fang Nian's name.
Not only Lin Feng, but Fang Nian's father Fang Zhengguo also shouted like this.
Most of the neighbors in the same village group called him -
Year Habao.
Like Fang Nian, most men will be shouted by the word 'Habao' after their names, which is roughly a dialect custom.
Before Fang Nian came out of the latrine, a little girl with a black charcoal appearance rushed over.
"Brother~"
He shouted in the voice of the elder elder.
Fang Nian's mind was wide and he subconsciously leaned back, and he couldn't see the appearance of the fair-cut and exquisite girl in his memory at all.
"Fang Xin, how old are you to dig coal?"
Looking at Fang Xin's black charcoal appearance, Fang Nian couldn't help but touch her head and teased.
It's not very old, and its eighth birthday hasn't passed yet, and although I'm in elementary school, I'm still very skinny.
Fang Xin blinked in confusion.
"Where there is coal digging, the coal mines are gone......"
A few years ago, coal mines could be seen everywhere in the villages near the Maoba Village Group, but they were suddenly shut down due to safety and other reasons.
Fang Xin has basically never seen a coal mine in business.
Fang Nian used to go there a lot when he was a child.
The villages that are more isolated than Tangli really don't have much to do.
Looking at Fang Xin, who was bouncing around, Fang Nian suddenly said.
"Fang Xin, you stand, I'll take a picture for you. β
Despite being a copycat phone, it still has a camera function.
Hearing this, Fang Xin laughed out loud and looked very happy.
Fang Nian thought playfully in his heart while taking pictures.
"I'll show you the current black charcoal in a few years, I'm afraid I'm going to cry out aggrieved?"
Walking into the house, the color of the walls inside has changed from the original white to a mottled color of white and yellow.
On the wall, you can see the traces of 'graffiti' left by Fang Nian's childhood.
The left wall of the rural living room is covered with awards.
Witnessed the excellence of Fang Nian primary school and junior high school in a small area.
It looks like an almost unanimous 'number one'.
Fang Nian sighed in his heart.
Like most rural families, Fang Nian's father, Fang Zhengguo, went out to work all year round to support the family.
When you are free, you can't see Fang Zhengguo.
"Back to school on the 10th?"
"Hmm. β
"How long to make up. β
"14 days. β
"Hungry. β
"Not hungry. β
Lin Feng simply cared for a few words, and then he didn't know where to go.
In Fang Nian's memory, from childhood to adolescence to adulthood, there are always many scenes like this.
Every now and then, a question would always pop up in Fang Nian's mind, what was his mother busy with?
But now Fang Nian is not curious.
There are always a lot of housework in the countryside, and as long as you are willing to be diligent, you can get up in the morning and go to bed at night......
"Brother~"
Fang Xin began to prolong his voice and shout meaninglessly again.
Compared with growing up and becoming more and more independent, at this time, Fang Xin likes to stick to Fang Nian very much.
............
............
In the evening.
Fang Nian took out his mobile phone to prepare the code wordββ
In rural families, there are few fixed telephones in the home, and few have computers, and Fang Nian's family is no exception.
Watching the penguin icon flash, there are a few messages.
We want to be happy: "Fang Nian, are you home?"
"How do you learn math, it's too good, I heard that your lectures are better than the math teacher's. β
β......β
In addition to Liu Yang, one or two classmates also sent messages.
Similar.
Fang Nian's answer was the same: "Do more questions and think more." β
In the past ten days at home, because of the inconvenient transportation and warm sunshine, Fang Nian simply did not go out.
There are also some trivial ideas, but they will have to wait until they have the first free money.
In the middle of this, Liu Yang also sent a message to ask a few words.
Talk, do you want to go to the county to play, several classmates together.
Fang Nian Shi refused.
Compared with unfamiliar Internet users, Fang Nian can actually be a gentle and sunny boy.
But in my heart, I thought that if I was at such a moment before I was reborn, I was afraid that I would be very excited, and then I went.
It doesn't matter if you're in a company or not.
Purely because I think the county must be more fun than the town.
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on August 8 was watched by Fang Nian on TV at home.
Just like the shock of the year.
It was also on this day that the editor Donggua sent a message to Fang Nian.
"Is it a little broken bowl?"
Coincidentally, Fang Nian happened to change the QQ login to see if there was any news sent to the winter melon, so he replied: "Yes, big." β
Winter melon: "Your book is very popular these days, but there is also a lot of negative news. β
"The grades are getting better and better, and the doubts are getting more and more, and of course it has something to do with your individual chapters. β
"You can only use QQ on your mobile phone, I'll give you a simple copy of some questions......"
Then the winter melon sent some messages.
At this time, the mobile phone QQ is not able to receive pictures, most people need to send pictures, will use the MMS function, the cost is a bit high, 2 yuan a piece.
Fang Nian watched it for half a minute:
"Oh, that's amazing, whatever you want...... If you have the ability, you can write it casually on the shelf?"
"This kind of book can also have results, hehe!"
"I'm afraid it's not some shady deals, I don't believe the results will be so good, no one around me has seen it!"
As he imagined, the influence of the single chapter began to spread and ferment.
Fang Nian thought for a while and replied with a message: "Big, otherwise, I will go to the Internet cafΓ© on the afternoon of the 10th to find you on the computer and communicate again." β
"Okay. Winter melon finally agreed.
In this brief conversation, Fang Nian tasted some flavors.
I'm afraid that the invalid backup is about to take effect......
On the morning of the 10th, Fang Nian simply packed up a change of clothes.
The time was not very coincidental, it happened to be staggered with the double robbery at home, and Fang Nian rarely complained: "Do you have to wait until the day after tomorrow to cut the crop?"
Lin Feng said, "The millet is not ripe a few days ago, what are you doing after cutting it?"
"You don't like to do double robbery either, are you growing up this year?"
Fang Nian: "......"
This is a fact, and he has hoped to avoid this matter in the past.
Because double robbery is nothing more than these words: tired, hot, irritable, stinging, itching.
Lin Feng then said seriously: "Go to your school well." β
"I hope you think about it, what can you do if you don't go to college, it's your third year of high school now. β
"I always say that even if you smash pots and sell iron, you have to go to school, but your family is not so poor. β
"You've grown up in the past two years, and your grades are not good, I don't know what to say about you, anyway, studying is the only opportunity you can have, if you really want to be like your father, you will be a dirt shed all your life, and you will be finished!"
Fang Nian just nodded and didn't say anything.
Lin Feng knew his achievements, he had no evidence, could it be that he made something out of nothing?
In the final analysis, Lin Feng was very reasonable, and after entering high school, he gave Fang Nian the greatest tolerance and free choice.
Even in the end, he only asked Fang Nian to study until he graduated from high school.
