Chapter 69: Diary [17]

Saturday, February 9 is fine

My brother and I spent the whole winter vacation at my grandmother's house as in previous years, my grandmother is a vegetable farmer in a suburban county, and I make a living by taking all kinds of vegetables and vegetables produced in a few acres of land at the door to the market to sell, my uncle is a cultural person, after graduating from junior college, I worked at the grain station in the city, and my second uncle did not come back after studying to support the frontier and stayed in Inner Mongolia, and my uncle did not read anything, and worked as a temporary worker in the grain station where my uncle worked, Nothing is as important as this belated baby grandson, the uncle is two daughters, the second uncle only has one daughter who said not to have a second child in response to the call of family planning, and the uncle finally gave birth to this son after giving birth to three daughters under the threat of his grandmother looking for death and life.

There are three unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, grandma said not to add a grandson to the old Wang family, she has no face to see her grandfather underground after she dies. Cough, there is no way, since ancient times, the old idea of preferring sons over daughters and passing on the family line to the next generation has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the older generation, and no one can change it! After my uncle lost the opportunity to become a regular, he felt that he had no face to continue to stay at the grain station, so he went home to help my grandmother take care of these few acres of vegetable fields, and occasionally went to the market to sell vegetables. During the whole winter vacation, I was at my grandmother's house like my mother before her death, helping my grandmother raise chickens, feeding pigs, watering the vegetable patch, and occasionally applying fertilizer.

Monday, February 11 was fine

Today is the day of returning to school, starting from the night before yesterday, Hu Bo rushed to copy my winter vacation homework for two consecutive days, and finally completed all the homework at 10 o'clock last night, and I also helped her write two brush characters, copying ancient poems and classical Chinese. Last night, when Hu Bo's mother made us a supper, Hu Bo was scolded again, looking at Hu Bo's aggrieved face, I snickered all night, who made you crammed temporarily, usually not good at writing winter vacation homework.

On the way to school, Hu Bo told me that I was not there during the winter vacation, and once when I returned to school, I heard Ren Jie say that Teacher Xiao Zeng had come back from Wuhan and decided not to go to the United States. I wasn't surprised at all to hear the news, as if everything was expected by me, but I pretended to be surprised and said something great.

I looked at Hu Bo and felt that there was no need to tell her that Mr. Xiao Zeng had come to my house the day before he went to Wuhan, and there was no need to tell her that I actually went to Huang Cheng's house the next day, and gave Huang Cheng the address that Mr. Xiao Zeng wrote to me.

The first thing I did when I arrived at school today was to go to the Academic Affairs Office to pay the tuition, and then go back to the classroom and wait for the head teacher Teacher Zeng to send us new books.

I was sincerely happy to see that my desk was stacked in a short time with books that seemed to smell of ink, such as Chinese, algebra, geometry, physics, chemistry, English, and politics. The first thing is to write my name in the lower right corner of the title page of each textbook, and I took a pen and wrote my name stroke by stroke, Jihong Middle School, Senior One (2) class, Huang Lihua.

After sending the book, Mr. Zeng told us gloomily after giving us the opening speech that at the beginning of this semester, two students had gone through the withdrawal procedures, one was Li Wei, a member of the life committee, and the other was Li Liling, both of whom could not continue to complete their studies because of family reasons, which made her feel very sad, although giving up her studies today seems to be a small decision, but after a few years, when you realize the importance of knowledge, culture, and talent, you will regret your hasty decision today.

On the way home, I asked Hu Bo why Li Wei and Li Liling had dropped out of school? Hu Bo said that Li Wei's family had opened a small store next to the bus stop and asked Li Wei to go home and help. Li Liling dropped out of school because Li Liling's father had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage on the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year, and was sent to the hospital before he was rescued.

Sunday, February 17 was fine

Today is a rest day, and it is also the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and there will be a lantern night market at the entrance of Xiangyang Cinema at night, playing dragon lantern performances, and I made an appointment with Hu Bo to go to Xiangyang Cinema to visit the night market at night. Just after dinner, Hu Bo couldn't wait for me to change clothes and go out together, Hu Bo was dressed very beautifully tonight, from head to toe was a new dress, surrounded by a big red scarf and an equally red beanie, looking like a girl coming out of the New Year's painting, very festive.

It seems that the whole district of Huangzhou District has come out to participate in activities tonight, the night market is crowded, and I saw a lot of familiar figures in the crowded crowd, Li Liling, "big waves" And their new boyfriend intimately looked at the lanterns, a little farther away I saw Huang Cheng and Xiao Zeng teacher buy a rabbit lamp in front of a vendor, the figures of the two looked so matched, harmonious, smiling two people as if there were only two of them in the world, I don't know why, I feel a little melancholy, I can't imagine what kind of development these two people will be in the future, with the temper of Mr. Zeng, I don't think I will accept a child born in a special family like Huang Cheng, what kind of road will wait for them in the future?

This Lantern Festival because there is no rice balls made by my mother, let me be infinitely sad all day, even in the lively night market, looking at the familiar and strange crowd around me, it is impossible to see my mother's kind and warm face in this vast sea of people, a beloved has since disappeared in your familiar life, what a sad thing, until today I still can't accept the fact that my mother has left us. If there is a time tunnel, I really want to see me in ten years, me in twenty years, me in thirty years, let the future me tell me what I should do now, sometimes I feel very lost, very lonely, anyway, people will eventually die, why will this process make people live so hard, I really want the future me to give the current me an answer, do I need to work so hard?
