Tang Xiao has always felt that she is out of place in this world, maybe she shouldn't exist in this world, and she thinks like this whenever she is upset.
When she was a child, she knew a lot more than children of the same age, but there is a saying that 'too sensible children are not hurt.' ’
These words were gradually understood by Tang Xiao when she grew up, and after she was a child, she only felt that she would be liked if she was obedient, but that was only when she was a child.
Tang Xiao was born in a remote town in the north, Tang Xiao's family is not the original inhabitants of the town, and since Tang Xiao can remember, others have called their family 'black household'.
But she didn't care about these things herself, and she didn't seem to really care about anything since she was a child.
Tang Xiao doesn't like dolls like other girls, the only thing Tang Xiao likes to do is watch TV, not because of how good TV series and cartoons are, but because Tang Xiao's parents are not at home, and Tang Xiao is alone every time.
Only the sound on the TV will make her feel at ease, and Tang Xiao's loneliness is called independence by adults.
In addition to watching TV, Tang Xiao also likes to climb trees, of course, that is only when his parents are at home.
Normally, Tang Xiao only likes to stay in the room.
Tang Xiao's family has five trees, and her favorite is the apricot tree in front of the door, and the apricot tree in front of the door does not have as many branches as other trees.
Moreover, this tree is much easier to climb than others, but Tang Xiao does not like to eat the fruit of this tree.
There is also a relative of Tang Xiao, her aunt, who lives in this town.
Tang Xiao has two aunts and two uncles, and he has never met her grandmother. Everyone looked down on Tang Xiao's family, just because their parents were stupid and would not say good things in a snake's tail, and their parents did the hardest work in the town to support the family.
From the age of three she was sent to a private kindergarten, where she still didn't fit in with everyone, and she just watched quietly while everyone else played.
Other children were sent over by their parents and then cried and made a fuss, but Tang Xiao came from home by herself, she looked at everything around her, and just watched quietly.
Although Tang Xiao is handsome, she is not a pleasant person, she doesn't like to be flattered like children of the same age, she would rather be alone than be around adults.
Tang Xiao walked to his family's vegetable garden, to find something to eat to comfort his hungry stomach, when autumn came, Tang Xiao's parents always came back late, and they secretly opened a piece of land to subsidize the family.
Tang Xiao took a few cucumbers and walked out of the field, she walked into the house and looked at her watch, then put down the cucumber in her hand and turned around and grabbed a large handful of corn, walked out and raised it in the chicken coop next to the house.
The holiday has begun, and Tang Xiao is about to enter the first grade at the beginning of school, which is also an expense for the Tang family, Tang Xiao is eating cucumbers and watching idol dramas on TV, Tang Xiao silently thinks about how good it would be if he could one day have a big house to live in like them, have endless money, and enjoy endless glory and wealth.
Tang Xiao fell asleep after watching it, until the sound of the two people arguing woke her up.
Tang Xiao was accustomed to this kind of quarrel, the two of them either had a small quarrel every three days or a big quarrel every five days, anyway, there were always endless topics in their world.
Tang Xiao stood at the door and quietly watched the two of them quarrel, because she knew that after the last two people quarreled, they would quietly ignore no one, and then continue to do the work at hand, and then continue to quarrel like this never-ending quarrel.
Tang Xiao went over the two of them to look for strawberries in the strawberry field outside, and the two people in the house stopped arguing not long after Tang Xiao walked out, and the world seemed to return to peace.
There is a reason why Tang Xiao didn't dare to go out alone, the Tang family didn't have any savings when they came to this town, so they could only buy a house at the back of the town, and it was a half-family small grass house, and the grass house was connected to another small grass house, and there was a strange old man living in the house next to him, and the grandfather next to him also raised several boxes of bees when Tang Xiao was young.
Tang Xiao was stung by his bee when he was climbing the apricot tree one year, but Tang Xiao was not afraid of bees, because she knew that bees would not live long after they stung people.
The grass house is small and very gloomy, and there is a tiled house next to the grass house that is used as a warehouse, Tang Xiao is most afraid of this warehouse, which is gloomy and has no lights, and the most terrifying thing is that she will hear the sound of "squeak, squeak" every time she goes in.
Tang Xiao's favorite is her father, her father has no shortcomings except for a little temper, Tang Xiao's mother is a typical person with a big heart, Tang Xiao may also follow her!
Tang Xiao's least favorite thing is his relatives, but fortunately they don't live together.
However, Tang Xiao heard that their family moved here because they didn't get along well with relatives on both sides, and finally his father moved out in a fit of anger.
What puzzled Tang Xiao the most was why they didn't move to a bigger city, but to such a small town that was not very good except for the better scenery.
It wasn't until later that Tang Xiao knew that these were all because of his parents' yearning for the land, which was a kind of love for the land that was born as a farmer.
Parents are still busy this summer, although most farmers farm in the spring, rest in the summer, harvest in the fall, and rest in the winter.
But Tang Xiao's parents still have to go into the mountains in the summer to pick some bracken and mushrooms, which they pick and sell, and they will keep the rest for themselves.
At this time, Tang Xiao already understood that she had to help her parents share the housework, and she would also learn to sit there and pick up the things picked up by the two of them.
Some things are already very vague in Tang Xiao's memory, what she can remember and say is already buried in the depths of her memory, sad or happy, in short, those experiences that can make her remember forever.
What Tang Xiao remembered deeply during this holiday was the fire, except for the neighbors on the left and right, who had a weird temper, the other neighbors took good care of Tang Xiao's family.
Especially Aunt Wang in the front yard and the third grandmother's house next to it.
There is a plum tree in the third grandmother's house, although Tang Xiao's family also has two plum trees, but she thinks that the pears of the third grandmother's family are more delicious, and the fact is that the plum tree of the third grandmother's family is very large, and the plums on it will bend the branches, and the plum tree of the third grandmother's family is easier to climb.
Let's go on to talk about the fire, which was more than a week before Tang Xiao was in the first grade.
Tang Xiao's parents were not at home as usual, Tang Xiao sat in front of the window with the TV and looked outside, probably bored Tang Xiao jumped on the ground in the house a few times, she frowned when she saw the smoke and dust flying in the air, and sat back in front of the window,
Tang Xiao suddenly found white smoke coming out of the window of Aunt Wang's house, who lived in the front yard,
Tang Xiao didn't take it seriously if they were smoking in the house, she took the money from the piggy bank and went out to buy snacks, and when she returned home, she found that the grass house where Aunt Wang's family lived was already on fire.
Around the yard, some people from the same village gathered to watch the excitement, and no one said that they were going to put out the fire. In the end, Tang Xiao saw Aunt Wang walking out of the pile with a disgraced face and crying.
Later, when Tang Xiao was in the first grade, Aunt Wang's big house was also built.
The primary school in the town could only go up to the third grade, and Tang Xiao only took the first grade in the town for half a year before being sent away.
However, in this short half a year, something happened that Tang Xiao will never forget in his life, it was the last day of this semester, the room in the school was very cold, Tang Xiao had forgotten how she spent that cold winter there, she only remembered that day she couldn't put on her gloves, but the teacher didn't stop waiting for her, the teacher took the children over the valley, stepped on the thick snow, the north wind howled on everyone's face, no one cared about how others were doing.
Half an hour later, Tang Xiao knocked on the door of the house with his left hand, which was already purple from freezing, and the Tang family usually hung the door backwards during the day to prevent others from coming to take things casually.
When Tang's father saw his daughter's frozen purple hands, there was only anger left in his heart, and he scolded Tang Xiao while lifting Tang Xiao into the house.
In the end, Tang Xiao's hand was saved, but the little female finger of her left hand stayed in the same way as when she was seven years old, and Tang Xiao felt that it was a very shameful thing until now.
After spending a holiday at home, Tang Xiao was told that the town's primary school was going to be demolished and that she was leaving home for a bigger school.
It is said that many of the children in the town go to that school, Tang Xiao yearns for it in her heart, she doesn't want to stay in this small village, she wants to go outside to see the bigger world.
