On the first day of the Lunar New Year, at three o'clock in the morning, the cold wind was bitter. On the dark night road, an old man and a girl who were wrapped tightly up and down and only showed their eyes were walking slowly. The old man was bent over and pushing a small cart with some bedding and clothes, while the girl was pulling the old man's clothes and following him slowly.

These two people are none other than Zhao Yuejun and his grandfather.

Zhao Yuejun's grandfather was afraid of seeing people, afraid of being pointed at, and even more afraid of his granddaughter being pointed at by others. So I decided to take advantage of the fact that no one was there to send Zhao Yuejun to the school, which was not a long distance, and it took more than an hour to send it to the school.

The grandfather and grandson walked like this, from Zhaojia Village to Shijia Village, and then passed the bridge in Shijia Village.

The grandfather of the Zhao family, who had been silent, spoke: "Yuejun, we are about to cross the bridge now." ”

"Is the bridge the road built on the water that my little brother often tells me?" Zhao Yuejun said with a smile, "Really, I heard the sound of water." ”

Zhao Yuejun said to himself a little again: "But, what does this bridge look like?"

Grandpa Zhao stopped, sat on the shore to rest his feet, and then said: "There are many kinds of this bridge, some are curved, some are straight and straight, and the bridge in front of us is straight and straight." This bridge was built by Principal Lin for Shijia Village, and also for us Kushan people. ”

"Principal Nalin is such a good man. Zhao Yuejun stood beside her grandfather in a daze and said, she really wanted to be able to see what the bridge built by Teacher Lin looked like, but unfortunately she couldn't see it.

Grandpa Zhao stood up and continued to push the cart forward, and Zhao Yuejun pulled the corner of his clothes and followed him slowly.

"Hold on to my clothes and don't walk around. Grandpa Zhao joked and said, "Otherwise, you will fall into the river, and be careful that the fish will eat you." ”

"Ah, don't, don't, I don't want to be eaten. Zhao Yuejun grabbed the corner of his grandfather's clothes tightly with both hands.

Zhao Yuejun still has an impression of fish, her father bought fish and gave her a good touch, she still remembers that the fish is long, round, and slippery, and the tail is divided into two pointy ones, but she doesn't know what it looks like. Just like the rabbit in her heart, she only knows that the rabbit has long ears, a fluffy body, and four legs and a short round tail, and she doesn't know exactly what it looks like, she can't imagine it.

By the way, fish don't have feet. This Zhao Yuejun still remembers, but has two small wings.

For anything, Zhao Yuejun only had a patchwork outline in his mind.

"Yuejun, listen to the teachers when you get to school, you are like this, it must not be easy for them to take care of you, you have to thank them. Zhao Yuejun's grandfather said babblingly.

Zhao Yuejun said: "Well, I know, grandpa. ”

Zhao Yuejun's grandfather said again: "If you really suffer any grievances, tell your brother secretly, let your brother tell me, and grandpa will seek justice for you." ”

"Hmm. Zhao Yuejun smiled, "No, Teacher Lin is so good, I won't be wronged." ”

"Alas," Zhao Yuejun's grandfather sighed, "I hope so." ”

Soon, the grandfather and grandson arrived at the school, the door of the school was open at this time, and the room was brightly lit.

This is the custom of Kushan, at the beginning of the New Year, every family gets up early, and then opens the door to welcome visitors.

Although Zhongguo Hope School is a school, Ma Zhongguo and Feng Chunxiu have already become home, and they also got up early and opened the school gate according to the customs of Kushan, while Lin Ping was still sleeping in the bed.

But he was destined not to sleep lazily, and when he was asleep, he was woken up by Ma Zhongguo's knock on the door: "College student, get up!"

Lin Ping opened his hazy eyes, and looked at the table at half past four, although he knew that he would get up early on the first day of the Lunar New Year to have New Year's dinner, but he didn't have to be so early.

Ma Zhongguo continued: "The little girl who can't see with his eyes and his grandfather are here. ”

When Lin Ping heard this, he immediately got up from the bed, and then got dressed and walked out of the room. Although it was said at the time that the grandfather of the Zhao family would send Zhao Yuejun to school after the New Year, Lin Ping really didn't expect it to be sent on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Zhao Yuejun and her grandfather were squatting in the room, and Liu Qingmei and her mother Feng Chunxiu were standing next to them, where they were cooking on the fire, which was relatively warm.

Seeing Lin Ping coming, the grandfather of the Zhao family quickly stood up and said, "Yuejun sent it to you." ”

Lin Ping looked at the grandson: "I didn't expect you to send this child over on the first day of the new year, I thought you would let her stay at home for a few more days." ”

Grandpa Zhao shook his head: "New year and new beginning, let Yuejun stay in school from today onwards, I brought her bedding and clothes." ”

The grandfather of the Zhao family entered the school, and when he saw such good conditions in the school, he felt that it was a correct choice to send Zhao Yuejun to the school. And he also understands that although he said that he sent Zhao Yuejun to school, he actually asked the school to adopt his granddaughter Zhao Yuejun, and from now on, his connection with his granddaughter will fade, and Zhao Yuejun will not have to return to that home.

The grandfather of the Zhao family turned his head to his granddaughter Zhao Yuejun and said: "Yuejun, you will stay here in the future, it is better than our family, there is food and drink, there are many good people, and it is clean and hygienic, so you don't have to go back." ”

Zhao Yuejun didn't speak in a daze, but tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

"Don't cry, how good it is here, grandpa is also old, he can't afford to support your sister and brother, and he can't take care of you, your brother usually goes to school here, and your sister and brother still take care of it." Zhao Yuejun's grandfather said softly.

Zhao Yuejun nodded lightly and didn't speak, and she knew that she would rarely see her grandfather in the future.

"Alright, I'm leaving. Zhao Yuejun's grandfather didn't seem to want to stay here any longer, and he felt very uncomfortable and wanted to leave this place quickly.

"Grandpa Zhao, stay and have breakfast. Lin Ping said.

"No, no, no. Grandpa Zhao shook his head resolutely.

Lin Ping didn't force his resolute attitude to see him, but said to Feng Chunxiu: "Aunt Feng, decorate the old man with New Year's goods and let him take them back." ”

"Don't, don't. Grandpa Zhao shook his head very resolutely, "You gave us so much last time, and you haven't finished eating it yet." ”。

But Lin Ping grabbed him and said, "Take it, and give Zhao Wujian more good food." ”

Feng Chunxiu packed a lot of New Year's goods for the Zhao family's grandfather, including pasta and all kinds of meat, and the Zhao family's grandfather took these things gratefully, lowered his head and said, "Thank you, thank you Principal Lin, thank you school." ”

Lin Ping looked at the grandfather of the Zhao family and said, "If there are any difficulties at home in the future, just tell the school, and the school will definitely help you and your children." ”

The grandfather of the Zhao family thanked him, and then pushed his car and walked outside the gate of the school.

The sound of the small cart faded away, and then Zhao Yuejun shouted loudly: "Grandpa!"

The grandfather of the Zhao family stopped.

Zhao Yuejun said with tears in his eyes: "You go slowly." ”

"Hey. ”

The grandfather of the Zhao family agreed, and then disappeared into the night with the cart.
