Chapter 1: Dream Interpretation

Next Chapter

Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers. After the fifteenth day of the first month, the new year will begin, and a new semester will begin. In an ordinary village in Tangchi Town, Langya City, a gust of spring breeze blows through the small trees with the thickness of bowls on the roadside. The sound of "Rushing Suosuo" also carries a chill of early spring. Patches of wheat seedlings that seem to be arching out of the ground on the side of the dirt road leading to the countryside give life to the whole village. In the distance, there were rows of red-tiled houses where dogs barked and roosters crowed, and the smoke drifted freely towards the sky.

"Hongyi, get up! Don't be late for school today. Outside the house came the loving cry of a woman. "Got it, Mom, it's up. ”

Li Hongyi, a student in the eighth class of the town's No. 1 High School, is an authentic and down-to-earth farmer's child. Parents to farm for a living, a year of hard sweat fell to the ground and fell eight petals, the harvest is good, the family eats some meat, the harvest is not good, a penny is eager to break in half to spend. The biggest hope is for the only seedlings in the family to go to college.

Li Hongyi stretched out his head from the quilt, as if his whole body was tied by a rope, and he reluctantly stretched out his two arms with difficulty, "It's school again, hey! It's not enough for the New Year, and the winter vacation is too fast." "Put on a padded jacket and put on the school uniform that has been following me for three years in high school, and step on the mille-feuille bottom that my mother has only added new to this year's New Year, and the patch of the socks that has been sewn and patched is still leaking halfway outside. I took the kettle from the wood-burning stove and mixed it with some cold water that my father had brought out in the well in the morning, and washed it casually. Pushing open the door, a burst of rural soil accompanied by the fresh smell of the morning air came to the surface, and I suddenly woke up.

Although the family is poor, it was cleaned by my mother, and the vegetables planted in the courtyard have sprouts. Li Hongyi walked to the kitchen and took a leftover pot cake from last night, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to school." Then he quickened his pace to the rusty girder "permanent" bicycle at the door, this car is the whole family to save money, save more than half a year to buy I don't know how many hands by Li Hongyi as his most valuable belongings, because the school is far away from home, go to class on Monday to live in school, go home from school on Saturday, and go home once a week. "Hongyi, wait a minute, wait a minute" The old mother hurriedly came out of the kitchen, reached into the padded jacket, took out a handkerchief and untied it layer by layer, and took out the ten yuan of the stacked boards, "This week's living expenses, save some flowers." "Mom instructed. Hongyi took the ten yuan in his mother's hand, held back the tears that were rolling in his eyes, and went out with a "hmm" push. There was a silent voice in my heart, "I must make a good appearance and let my parents live a good life, I swear, I swear!" The bicycle drove quickly in the direction of Tangchi Town, and the village road behind it became calm after a burst of dust after the shadow of the bicycle.

Hongyi, who is not good-looking, has a slender figure, and holds the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the white breath exhaled this day is getting more and more rapid, and the distance of seven or eight miles is slowly warming up and sweating slightly.

When I arrived in the town, there were more people slowly, and every time I went to school and got out of school, Li Hongyi took a slight detour and rode past a small cement road on the side of the school, and on both sides of this path were Mr. Fortune Tellers. Since childhood, he has been influenced by the elders in the family, "If you are disobedient, the ** monkey will come to catch you and eat." This kind of words deeply make me feel that there is a supernatural existence in the world, and I really want to set foot on this road, so this road feels very mysterious and intimate to me, as if I will live on this street, just like the name of this street is "Yinqiao Street" can bring a lot of silver and wealth to yourself.

Ride to the school gate, get off the cart and enter the school gate. Suddenly, I saw the back of a girl in front of me, with shoulder-length short hair and laughter like silver bells, and walked towards the teaching building with the classmates around me. Li Hongyi suddenly felt his heart beat faster, and his face was hot, and he watched the girl go farther and farther away like a nail. Suddenly, a car bell rang behind him, "Yo, Li Hongyi hasn't seen him for a winter vacation, and he has covered up a lot at home." The student who spoke was 1.8 meters big, with big eyes, and a thief with small hair combing, this is Li Hongyi's classmate Zhao Xuande, who likes to dig out a bird's nest every day when he doesn't do his job, put a starling bird raised by an old man, and catch a toad to scare girls...... These things "Yo Yo Yo, this is to see the beauty of our class, the family is in the compound, but the family is an official in the town, you kid just take a look, dispel that idea!" As he spoke, he and Li Hongyi put the car into the carport, Li Hongyi pushed the glasses on his nose up and said, "I, where do I look at her?" "Look at you, you stutter as soon as you tell a lie, just watch and see without breaking the law, let's catch up and see." You look at me, I look at it. Li Hongyi glanced at Zhao Xuande, thinking that such a thick skin has to fight with my mille-feuille.

The new semester is a new beginning, and the students' faces are full of happy expressions. Zhao Xuande is busy, he hasn't finished his homework during the winter vacation, and he is working hard to copy the homework of his classmates. Li Hongyi sat on the seat and put the textbook on the table, and suddenly saw the letter in the mezzanine of the schoolbag, the letter that had not been sent for two years, and then looked at the class flower Zhang Lei and thought to herself, "The door is not right, when I mix it up, I will send it again." The taste of a crush is not comfortable, not to mention that there are no less than ten people chasing Zhang Lei in the entire grade, and it is good to keep it in your heart and make a thought. ”

Li Hongyi studies very hard, Zhang Lei's academic performance has always been the top few in the class, and she has always been regarded as a goal, so the motivation to study is still very strong. But I'm like I'm not enlightened, although I'm hardworking, my grades have always been in the middle of the class, and even if I can be admitted to college, my current grades will definitely not be the same school as Zhang Lei. I've been trying hard to go to college with the girl in my heart and then confess, and I've even thought about having children in the future. But the reality is so cruel, and ideas are still ideas.

This semester is also the last period of my high school career, and after a few months, we will go our separate ways, and when we meet again, it can only be a class reunion. Li Hongyi also doesn't know where he will go after graduation, whether he will be admitted to university or go to school to find a job. The confusion of life always swirls in the minds of high school juniors. The review of each homework from the first year of high school to the third year of high school, each class is a test of the examination papers of various regions, and the devilish training pressures the senior high school students to be physically and mentally exhausted. There is no way for school teachers, the college entrance examination line in S province is the highest in the country every year, and last year if you want to go to a general junior college, you have to score more than 500 points, and other provinces and cities can be admitted with 350 points. Rich and powerful families moved their families to a certain province as soon as they entered the third year of high school, just so that their children could easily go to brand universities.

After a day of study, after the self-study class at 9 o'clock in the evening, every student dragged his tired body, went home, and went back to the dormitory. Li Hongyi's dormitory is on the second floor 206, with eight people in the same room, this is the first dormitory party this semester, the dormitory boss Feng Qiang took out a bottle of beer from his schoolbag, "Brother, I stole it, one person celebrates that we are back again." Several people seemed to have jumped out of the circle of exhaustion, some took out peanuts in their school bags, and some took out large radish...... put together a table of down-to-earth dishes, "This is the last semester for our brothers to get together, and I hope our friendship will last forever." "One person drank the only bottle of beer one by one. Li Hongyi drank very shallowly, and after only taking a sip, the world was spinning. Before he could finish it, he lay on the bed and snored.

In my dream, I saw a star on the side of the Big Dipper in the northwest of the sky revolving around the Big Dipper, intermittently circling around it. When I woke up the next day, I remembered this dream clearly, very clearly. On this day of class, Li Hongyi has been pondering whether this is the first time that he has had a clear dream since he was a child, and what does this mean? Is this to show me what way? Or does it portend something? This dream has always become a problem for Li Hongyi, and he decided to go to "Yinqiao Street" after school at noon on Saturday to find someone to interpret the dream.

Finally stayed up until Saturday after school, Li Hongyi and other classmates in the class were finished, and the last one pushed the bicycle out of the school gate, looked around to make sure that there were no classmates and teachers who did not know, and then rode a bicycle to "Yinqiao Street". I thought to myself, don't let people see me doing this, it will be a shame to spread it.

The whole street was full of fortune tellers, Li Hongyi put the car in the parking lot in the center of the street, looked around, and thought to himself, who should I ask to interpret my dream? How much money does it cost? Seeing that there were no acquaintances on the road, he hurriedly walked to a relatively hidden stall on the street, still feeling that the hidden location was not easy to be discovered.

This stall owner looks like a talent, giving people a very honest feeling, which is also the second reason why Li Hongyi chose him, I feel that I really won't ask for more money, "Little brother, what do you want to see?" Li Hongyi looked around again to make sure that he didn't know anyone and said, "Big brother, I had a dream that seems to indicate something, give a dream more money?" This eldest brother saw Li Hongyi looking like a student and wearing the school uniform of No. 1 Middle School, and at first glance, he knew that his family was poor, so he should find someone to talk to, and then said" Interpret a dream, no charge, let's hear what kind of dream it is. "Big brother, I dreamed ......" Li Hongyi told the fortune teller brother about the dream, and the eldest brother quietly thought about it and asked: "Is it round around the star of the Big Dipper?" Li Hongyi replied: "It's not round, it's like an ellipse, intermittent." The eldest brother looked at Li Hongyi thoughtfully, sighed, and shook his head.
