The clock is ticking.

It was 12:40 p.m.

The mother took some food from the bamboo basket, "You, tell me anything in the future, don't run away quietly, how anxious am I? Look, come back quickly during the lunch break, and you have to go to work after eating." With that, she walked to the vegetable cupboard, ready to take the salted melon edamame fried in the morning and soak it in cold boiled water.

Wang Qiang sat at the table of the four immortals and pretended to be holding a book and reading, "Mom, don't go to work." ”

"If you don't go to work, you will raise ......" the mother squeaked open the door of the vegetable cupboard, and her voice stopped abruptly.

Wang Qiang listened to her halfway through, looked up, and saw his mother looking at himself, but his fingers pointed to the fish and meat in the vegetable cupboard, as if he was a little puzzled.

"Oh, after the stall closes in the morning, I bought meat and gluten, the fish is not sold out, you can eat it. He said.

Mother suddenly let out a long sigh, "You've grown up." ”

This sentence is full of meanings.

It is normal for a rural baby to be in charge of the family early, but what Cheng Lin didn't expect was that after witnessing her quarrel with her husband, her son seemed to be a different person.

It's a very mysterious feeling.

Before, the son was relatively smart - every parent thinks so, but not to the point of being so smart, the first time he caught Wang Ba and sold it was luck, so what about fishing to make money this time? Moreover, she came home after a long day of hard work, and saw her son cook two dishes.

It seems that overnight, the hadron really grew up.

Cheng Lin thought so, and her heart was full of relief, but she still didn't serve fish and meat, but just brought out the plate with salted melon and edamame.

Seeing this, Wang Qiang knew that his mother was reluctant to eat and wanted to keep it for himself, in his memory, whether it was the father who was bent over by life, or the mother who was eroded by the years and had a yellow face, the delicious food was kept for him.

He still remembers what his parents used to say, "Mom doesn't like to eat."

Do you really not like to eat?

Everyone likes to eat delicious food, Wang Qiang understood, seeing his mother sitting back at the table and picking up chopsticks to eat, he got up and walked to the yellowed vegetable cupboard, took out fish and meat from it, and put them on the dining table.

Mother smiled and waved her hand, "I don't like to eat this ......"

"Mom, eat!" Although the words were short, the tone was full of firmness, Wang Qiang looked at his mother solemnly, "Don't go to work, I will support you in the future!"

In my previous life, my parents worked hard all my life.

Since God has given him another chance, from now on, I will give them a good life.

This is Wang Qiang's greatest wish at present.

If it was usual, Cheng Lin would definitely refuse, but for some reason, when she heard her son's words, she inexplicably felt that her eyes were wet, nodded vigorously, and snorted.

Watching his mother slowly eat fish and meat, Wang Qiang felt happy from the bottom of his heart, he was changing family life with his own hands, and was moving forward on the road to let his parents live a good life.

Mother babbled and said something while eating, what is making money now is making money, but I still have to go to school, and I can't be ambitious.

In fact, Wang Qiang knew that his mother was acquiescing to him fishing to make money.

If it had been proposed at the beginning, perhaps the mother would have objected, but now that a large amount of "huge money" is placed in the poor family, the mother can no longer find a reason to refuse.

Earn half a month's salary for a worker.

For any rural family nowadays, this kind of behavior will be tacitly acquiesced.

Wait until your mother finishes eating.

Wang Qiang told his mother that he was going to Siyi Town once, so he pushed the 28 big bar and walked out.

……

Summer afternoons are hot.

Riding on the asphalt, you can see the twisted heat with the naked eye, and the tip of your nose is full of asphalt smell.

Because the market in Minqiang Town is closed at noon, I can only rush to the big market in Siyi Town to buy pork liver, and buy some red earthworms by the way.

After only half the ride, Wang Qiang was sweating all over his body, and he wiped the sweat from the corners of his eyebrows several times while riding, this damn summer, it was too hot.

Later, I will go to Siyi Town to buy a bottle of water to drink.

He was slightly dressed roughly, his mouth was a little dry, and he was very thirsty.

Bang!

Suddenly there was a loud bang!

Wang Qiang only felt that the bicycle couldn't hold on for a while and almost fell, so he hurriedly held it and jumped down, but it was a flat tire at this time.

"I'm dizzy. Then Wang Qiang thought that the tires had been repaired yesterday, and he might have been more angry, and the temperature was high in summer, and the tires were swollen and exploded. There is no store in front of the village, and the surroundings are bare, which is a bit of a dilemma.

It was two kilometers to Siyi Town, and it was two kilometers to go home, and he was a little confused.

The most important thing is that now his mouth is so dry that there is not even a tree nearby, and there is no way to avoid the sun's edge.

What to do?

Wang Qiang was a little dumbfounded.

Yes, there is no way, continue to push forward, now I have to go to the town to change the tire, and then go home is almost far from going to Siyi Town, it is better to go directly to the town to change the tire.

The rear tire of this bicycle is broken, and it cannot be allowed to roll on the ground, otherwise the steel rim will be deformed, and it will cost a lot of money to replace it.

Wang Qiang could only secretly scold his bad luck, and lifted the rear tire slightly and pushed it slowly.

But the weather was so hot, so hot that the rubber shoes he stepped on on the asphalt seemed to melt, and the soles of his feet felt a little hot, not to mention sweating all over his body, and even the fat was steaming out by the scorching sun.

"Alas, it's better to have an acquaintance. Wang Qiang, who was sweating like rain, said to himself with a bitter face, but he also knew that this was his wishful thinking, how could anyone go to the street at such a hot noon, and even if there were, the probability of bumping into an acquaintance was too low.

Ho!

Whew!

The more he pushed, the more he felt dizzy, his lungs desperately needed to breathe in fresh air, and his whole body was about to become dehydrated.

The problem is that the heavens should not be called the earth's inaction, but can only persevere.

Wang Qiang gritted his teeth, cheered up, and quickened his pace to the east.

Jingle bells.

Suddenly, a series of bicycle bells rang behind me.

He looked behind him in surprise, hoping to meet an acquaintance, but the reality was often disappointing, and an old man in his sixties wore a straw hat and sped away.

Forget it, it's better to rely on yourself.

After only a second of joy, Wang Qiang was deflated, and couldn't help but curse the weather of the ghost, even if it rained, it would be better than now.

A few steps out, his legs were weak, he almost fell, his body was a little unable to hold on, just riding was fine, now it took too much effort to carry the car forward, sweat and tap water sprayed out from the pores, dehydration is too bad.

Wang Qiang smiled bitterly, it's bad today, don't wait for heat stroke on the asphalt road, if no one passes by, it may be dead.

At this moment, a series of car bells rang behind him.

Jingle bells, jingle bells.

He had already lost hope, and in order to save his strength, he didn't bother to turn his head and look back.

Sure enough, the trot bike swept by with a scent.

The rider was a girl in a white dress, wearing a small straw hat, and she didn't see her face clearly.

Wang Qiang just wanted to open his chapped lips and call out to the girl, asking if he was willing to help himself, when the sound of bicycle brakes came from in front of him.

The tires and the asphalt rubbed against each other to make a screeching sound.

The girl sat on the bicycle and looked back in surprise and said, "Wang Qiang?"

Hearing the voice, Wang Qiang was instantly ecstatic, it must be someone who knew him, he immediately opened his eyes and said, "It's me, it's ...... Jiang Lijuan!?"

In front of me is an old classmate who just met yesterday.

At this moment, Wang Qiang had a feeling of tears, the sky had eyes, and he was saved.
