In Yinglong's memory, he still remembers that back then, his little sister Yingzhu, although at that time, when they visited the park, because of Yingzhu, they did not get on the merry-go-round, which made him a little regretful, and even a little annoyed, feeling that Yingzhu was not like his sister, and did not take care of him at all as the youngest brother.

But after returning to Bincheng, when Xiao Yinglong saw Yingzhu, he vaguely knew that Yingzhu was not such an easy character to deal with, which made him a little wary.

Although Yingzhu is only slightly older than Yinglong, it is obviously more mature and sophisticated than Yinglong, and he is also quite scheming.

Of course, Yinglong can't fight Yingzhu in some aspects, and even his strength is smaller than her. So much so that in order to grab a piece of fried meat or other delicious things in the vegetable bowl with Yingzhu, he often started a "chopstick rest" with Yingzhu because he couldn't grab it, which made the two of them cry.

As the head of the family, his father Yingnan is often very annoyed by the two, looking at the two little ghosts crying, he can't wait to beat the two of them.

And Yinghong and Yingyun felt funny when they saw the childish behavior of their younger siblings at the dinner table.

Either Yingyun will take the initiative to put a piece of meat between them and put it in the bowl of the two of them to calm the dispute

Either Yinghong will pull the two apart when they are fighting together.

However, in the eyes of Yingzhu and Yinglong, the other party has become more and more of their "thorn in the eye" and "thorn in the flesh", and they often feel that the enemy is very red when they see each other.

After all, in the eyes of children, they feel that they are the only children in the family who want to be pampered, and of course, only they should enjoy the best treatment, no matter who they are, they should let him a little.

And Yingzhu for Yinglong's arrival, as if her world has been broken, she is no longer the most favored child in the family, Xiao Yinglong has become her competitor, and even wants to share snacks and candy with her, which makes her a little unconvinced, so she feels that Yinglong is an outsider and has no right to share everything with her.

And Yinglong has gone from the only child in his grandmother's family to his new home, and there is an extra little sister Yingzhu in his life, and he feels very threatened, he is no longer a free child, and Yingzhu is fighting with him everywhere, which makes him feel very unpleasant.

And the surrounding environment seemed so strange and completely different from his original family, these changes made him feel very uncomfortable, so Yinglong sometimes hoped that his mother would send him back to Shenyang's hometown and return to his old familiar life, so that he could avoid Yingzhu, who he hated, and no one would take the delicious candy from him.

But when the two play together, Yinglong and Yingzhu will be surprisingly united.

As they grew older, they walked with the children around them in the surrounding neighborhoods and alleys, and even came to the riverside to play together, saw the blue water and fishing boats of the riverside, and often saw barges full of goods sailing on the water, rippling in circles.

On the wharf by the river, these children played all over the place, and even played hide and seek among the sacks of corn, and were almost caught as thieves by the old man guarding the field.

In this way, Yinglong gradually got to know some places in Bencheng in the company of his friends.

He saw a completely different customs and customs from Shenyang, and even a huge funeral procession.

It was the legendary "Eight Lifting Sedan Chairs", the huge red coffin, the long funeral procession, the sound of firecrackers and the rising gunsmoke, and the paper money that flew all over the sky and then fell to the ground.

When Yinglong saw such a scene for the first time, he felt both fresh and surprised, and even a little scared.

He didn't know who was sleeping in the coffin, and why so many people saw him off, and the momentum was so huge.

And Yinglong just hid with his little friends, covering his ears with his hands, so as not to let the deafening sound of firecrackers shatter his eardrums, and then stared at the funeral procession with wide eyes, breathing in the air full of gunsmoke, almost dumbfounded.

Gradually, these children became more and more emboldened, and Yinglong became farther and farther away from the place where they played, going out of one block to another, and almost all the big shopping malls and small shops.

The adults passing by looked at them and thought that this was just a group

Untethered wild child. Obviously, a group of unrestrained snots are wild children in the eyes of adults.

Time passed slowly, and the beginning of the school season of another year arrived, and Yinglong and Yingzhu went to the nearby elementary school to study.

Yingzhu entered the school a year earlier than Yinglong, one grade higher. The new teacher and class restrained these wild boys and wild girls and let them see the world of the book.

Everything was so new: the five-star red flag, the national anthem, the flag-raising ceremony, the recess exercises, the impassioned speech of the principal on Monday morning.

In this class, Yinglong became the first student who was recognized by everyone as being able to speak Mandarin.

Even the teacher felt strange that there was a student who spoke Northeast dialect in this class full of southern children, which made her feel a little fresh.

At the same time, Yinglong has made many new friends here, and the teaching materials that have just been sent out also make him find it interesting.

Of course, he didn't feel embarrassed at all when he learned pinyin to speak Mandarin, not to mention that he still had his brothers and sisters who were in middle school at home.

In a general knowledge class, Yinglong learned about the map of China, the geographical location of his grandmother's house, and the location of Bincheng.

It turned out that the two places were so far apart.

Although it was only a reduced distance on the map, I learned from the teacher that Shenyang was thousands of miles away, and the two places were almost close to the two ends of the map.

Yinglong gradually understood how far he had traveled by train in the first place, so that he could not see it from any high place in Bincheng, although he had tried to stand on a high place to look at the Shenyang in the distance, although to no avail, it still satisfied his curiosity for a while.

But there are many reasons in between, which also make him a little unbelievable, and he can't understand why he has gone so far.

At school, Yinglong learned a lot.

In the nature class, he learned about many insects and small animals, and like other children, he bought mulberry leaves and silkworm eggs from the vendors at the school gate to feed them, and carefully observed the growth of silkworms.

Xiao Yinglong put the silkworm eggs in the old cotton wool and wrapped them, and then put them in his pocket and hid them. After a few days, the silkworm eggs hatched into wriggling black worms.

At this time, Yinglong bought fresh mulberry leaves and put them in a cardboard box containing silkworms, and watched how they ate on mulberry leaves.

The black larvae gnawed along the edges of the mulberry leaves, little by little, until they bit out jagged gaps in the green leaves.

Yinglong has been raising silkworms to be white and fat, and gradually become transparent, and then the silkworms begin to spin silk cocoons, and finally break out of the cocoons and metamorphose into moths.

When the silkworms that have become transparent slowly spin silk cocoons in the corners of the cardboard box, forming a shiny cocoon shell, like pigeon eggs, and finally wrap themselves in it until they can't see the appearance of the silkworms at all.

Yinglong found that the crystal clear silk was like weaving, slowly wrapping the silkworms inside layer by layer, and gradually unable to see the movements of the silkworms, he could only faintly feel that it was still alive, just cocooning itself, and then metamorphosing into a sleeping silkworm chrysalis.

Finally, after a few weeks or so, the silkworm chrysalis breaks out of its cocoon, bites the cocoon shell that wraps it, and then emerges from the shell and becomes a silkworm moth with a pair of fluffy wings.

However, the life span of the silkworm moth is not too long, and after it pounces on the sesame-like silkworm eggs, its body slowly becomes stiff and gradually dies.

Only then did Yinglong realize that the life of silkworms was so short and fragile.

But within a few months, he observed how a silkworm hatched as an adult worm and transformed into a silkworm moth that stood out, and finally the silkworm moth swooped down on "freedom" and laid eggs that turned into stiff moths.

The life of a silkworm is very short, starting from a small black worm that wriggles and gnaws on mulberry leaves, to transforming into a moth with wings, and finally completing a lifelong mission, passing away in the wind, and everything starts again.

So, how should people spend their lives, and will they also have to "cocoon themselves"?

Or break out of the cocoon to complete the transformation of a lifetime, until it turns into dust in the style?

Although Yinglong has observed the life of the silkworm, he can't understand everything about himself at this age, nor can he predict whether he will "cocoon himself" in the future, and then sublimate and transform to fulfill his lifelong wish.

In Yinglong's eyes, he is just a small person now, except for relying on this family, he can't fight the whole world, and he doesn't need to do anything, as long as his father often says: be content and happy, and go with the flow.

With the intelligence of Yinglong and Yingzhu, they were later admitted to a local key middle school.

Primary school seemed almost effortless to them, and they even had a lot of free time to play in the streets and alleys.

In Yinglong's eyes, childhood life is also happy, even a little carefree.

Whenever he picked up the graduation photo, he often sighed and sighed when he saw the words "Golden Childhood" written by the teacher on the back of the photo.

Even after many years away from primary school, he still feels that his childhood is worth remembering.

Yinglong's childhood experienced a long journey from south to north, such a thing was rare among many children at that time, but Xiao Yinglong experienced everything silently.

There are some things that he doesn't understand very well, but he also wants to understand, but when he tries to find answers, he often can't get satisfactory answers.

Therefore, Yinglong just grew up with a mind full of questions, but he also hoped that one day, there would be a trustworthy person who could tell him all the answers and let him solve all his doubts.

Xiao Yinglong grew up with full hope, fell and got up, and always spent one poor and quiet day after another with the hope of tomorrow.

It seems that the alarm clock on the table, every hand seems to guide him to keep running forward, tirelessly repeating every ordinary day.

Although Xiao Yinglong is still an ignorant child, he also knows that as long as he listens well in class and does a good job in every test paper, he will be praised by his parents, otherwise, he will be reprimanded.

So in Xiao Yinglong's eyes, academic progress can help him win honors and praise, otherwise what awaits him is punishment and tears.

Therefore, under such a spur, Xiao Yinglong has become extremely sensible, knows to study hard, and is diligent.

But Young-joo's dispute with him is often a troublesome thing for him, once he starts with Young-joo, he will be beaten by his father Young-nam, for which Young-ryong suffers a lot of losses, and slowly begins to alienate Young-joo, lest once there is a dispute, he will have to suffer some dumb losses.

He gradually had a private idea that one day, he would leave this place, the city that made him feel uneasy, and go to another distant place, a place where he could live freely, and start the life he longed for.

From now on, there are no more things that bother him, and he can live according to his ideas.

That place was a new world that he had admired for a long time, a "Garden of Eden" full of happiness and joy.
