Chapter 8: The Broken Comb

In the days of Kongjia Primary School, my father was always very busy, but I obviously felt that my father was not as happy as before, and he was less of the kind of bursting laughter because of happiness. A lot of the time, it's a thoughtful twist of the eyebrows.

Throughout the fourth grade, my father still didn't have time to care about me, I was imaginative and happy.

But the heart of an eight- or nine-year-old child is sensitive, and there are subtle changes in many things around him, and many things are a little inexplicable to me, and I can't explore the reasons.

In those days, television was scarce. There is only one 14-inch black-and-white TV in a natural village, and the village will send someone to manage the TV. In order to make it easier for everyone to watch,Make a high shelf for the TV,A wooden box is made on the shelf according to the size of the TV,And with a lock。 At six or seven o'clock in the evening, everyone will occupy seats in the screening venue, and at seven o'clock the screen will be unlocked.

At that time, everyone watched martial arts films such as "Huo Yuanjia" and "Chen Zhen" one after another, and the children in the streets and alleys were everywhere imitating the appearance of the heroes in their minds, showing off one move after another, although some of the postures were ridiculous.

Everyone watched the Japanese translated film "Blood Suspicion" and sighed deeply for Sachiko's experience, and the little girl in the village found a rope to lead her free-range puppy and learn from Sachiko's appearance;

Watching the Mexican translation of the film "Black Slave", when the slave owner whipped Izola with a whip, everyone wanted to drag the slave owner out of the TV and beat him violently......

When the ** martial arts film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was staged, it was even more empty......

Confucius Primary School is among the best in the district because of the quality of teaching, and the district rewards a TV, which is placed in the conference room. There are 3 or 4 teachers in the school and less than 10 people in two residential schools, and everyone gathers in the conference room at 7 o'clock in the evening to watch, which is naturally much better than the children in the village, no need to occupy a seat in advance, and there is no need to worry about a tall person sitting in front of you to affect the viewing, and there is no need to worry about sudden rain interrupting the viewing. It was in this conference room that we watched the Japanese translated film "Volleyball Girl", the heroine soared into the air and a beautiful "phantom whirlwind" fascinated a group of children, in physical education class, whether boys and girls, whether holding volleyball, football or basketball, they would throw themselves into the air, jump up and hit the ball with their palms, and shout loudly: Artillery serve......

But what I remember and am most proud of is Junko Koga's hair accessories. At that time, girls in the countryside would tie two fashionable stools or two braids. Wearing a ponytail is a hair accessory that only children in the city have, and wearing it in the hair is absolutely not allowed. Junko Oga's hair is very special, combing two fashionable stools left and right on the top of her head, and two plastic colored balls larger than pinballs are tied to the leather bands of the fashionable poop, and with Junko Oga's round eyes, it is very cute. The little girls secretly comb their hair accessories at home, but unfortunately there are no beautiful plastic colored balls to decorate.

My hair has always been cut short by my mother, my father is so busy that he doesn't have time to take care of my hair, and I can't take care of it myself, when I watched "Volleyball Girl", I haven't had a haircut for two months, and my hair has grown to my shoulders. Without my mom by my side to supervise my hair washing, and my dad was so busy, my hair was always messy.

The most exaggerated thing is that once, Mr. Xiao Guo, a beautiful female teacher, couldn't stand it anymore, took me to the office, and tried to help me comb my messy hair, the comb was only combed twice in my hair, and an embarrassing thing happened, the comb was combed off. I went back and told my dad that he had bought a new comb for Mr. Guo.

Dad paid attention to my chicken nest because of this incident, but there were still two weeks before my mother came, Dad helped me wash my hair, comb it neatly, and asked me to learn to wash and comb my hair in the future, I agreed, my hands-on ability was very poor, and no one handed me over.

The next day, my father went to the district for a meeting, and when he came back, he happily gave me something, and I was surprised to find that it was actually a rubber band tied with a colored plastic ball.

Early the next morning, my father combed my hair in imitation of Junko Koga's hairstyle, and my father said proudly: In this way, the hair does not block the eyes, does not affect the reading, and the hair in the back is neatly combed. I looked in the mirror, and my hair was exactly the same as that of Junko Oga, but that face was not as beautiful as Junko Oshika, and even so, I was already full of joy.

As I walked briskly to the classroom with my red backpack on my back, my hair became the center of attention for all the girls, and the feeling of being in the spotlight was wonderful but comfortable.

After school, I rushed to Mr. Guo's office and asked her to see my father's beautiful hair. But I obviously feel that Teacher Guo is not as enthusiastic about me as before, the child's perception is the most real, Teacher Guo does not want me to stay in her room longer, she praised my beautiful hair perfunctorily, got up and said that she was going out to do something, I came out with her, thoughtful, but I don't know where to start. Dad is so busy, I don't talk to him about this kind of feeling.

Later, I realized that Mr. Xiao Guo was a new teacher, and he was highly motivated to work, and the work of the class teacher was very prosperous. But the teacher of good things said in private: Teacher Xiao Guo is scheming, and he is good at stammering with the principal, and it is said that in order to comb the hair of the principal's children, the comb was broken. Poor Mr. Guo, who has not been in the WTO deeply, encounters such criticism, and his feelings in his heart can be imagined.

Once, when I went to the teacher in the front row to get something, an old teacher stopped me and said, "Go back and give your father a word: Be fair and don't be biased." Eight or nine-year-olds, young and ignorant, promised: Okay. After returning to Dad's office: I told me about it, and Dad was silent for a moment and didn't say anything. I was stunned, I didn't know what was going on.

Dad was busy, always went above and beyond for me materially, and surprised me every time.

At that time, electronic watches were also scarce in the city, and my father went to a meeting and bought me an electronic watch, which was inlaid in a bracelet, and the bracelet was pink and snapped. With this electronic watch, I can keep track of the time at any time, and every time I make an appointment with my father, I will get the right score to show that I am the one who has the watch. My electronic watch used to be the yearning of many girls in school, their envious eyes greatly satisfied my vanity, I raised a princess heart for myself, this princess heart was ruthlessly broken and spilled on the ground in the years to come.

At that time, the school was still a dry toilet, with a long row of squatting pits, at least 30, and everyone would go to the toilet together during class, chattering all the way, and the happiness of girls may be in the chatter. After I went to the toilet, I lifted the stall of my pants, and accidentally touched the bracelet on my waist, only to hear a click, the bracelet opened by itself, fell into the squatting pit, and my face instantly turned stupid white. So deep, so dirty, I couldn't possibly get it back right away. I looked up for help, looked at the classmates who came around, and everyone watched the long-awaited thing and poop mixed together, and everyone's face was filled with uncontrollable happiness.

I was surprised, and hurriedly went back to ask my father for help, and my father pondered for a while and said: This is the only toilet in the school, and it is not yet out of school, everyone has to go to the toilet at any time, and it can't affect the normal operation of the school because your bracelet seals the toilet. When school is over, Dad helps you figure it out. I had no choice but to say yes.

I didn't do well in the next class, but I clearly felt that the children in the class were in a very good mood.

When I got out of school and went to the women's bathroom with my father, the watch was gone.

Many years later, I look back on this period and feel sad. The most bitter thing in the world is "can't beg", I have made girls have a lot of things in their hearts that they can't ask for, and it is I who have influenced them in those years. If it motivates them to be positive, that's a good thing.

Because of this, I also developed a sense of superiority, a superficial sense of superiority, because I was so much superior to the people around me, but the world was so big, and in the long years, my superiority was swallowed up little by little.
