The last class of the day was math class, and when Zhong Yuemin was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by the math teacher: "Yuemin, you come to the office with me." "Hey, I'll be right away, Mr. Yuan. Zhong Yuemin had no choice but to let Li Kuiyong wait for him.

"Teacher Yuan, do you have anything to do with me?" "Yuemin, I still want you to join the interest group, your mathematical talent can't be so wasted, you have to make yourself a useful person for the country." Teacher Yuan said earnestly while letting Zhong Yuemin sit down. "But, teacher, I ......" Zhong Yuemin was about to find a reason to refuse, but was interrupted by Teacher Yuan: "What you said last time, I went back and thought about it, I really can't let you go hungry, I asked your sister to prepare some dumplings, and in the future, your sister will also prepare dinner for you, so you can study with peace of mind." Zhong Yuemin was stunned, he didn't expect that Teacher Yuan would prepare dinner for him in order to study with peace of mind, you must know that now the food is the most expensive, and the food of every family is rationed, and if you give it to him, the teacher's family will have nothing to eat.

Zhong Yuemin felt very guilty in his heart, although the teacher of Old Man Yuan took "special care" of him, but he was indeed in love, for his good, he had to tell the truth: "Teacher, I have food left for me at home, you don't have to prepare dinner for me, in fact, I recently went to the Children's Palace to practice wrestling after school." "Hey, you kid, the teacher didn't say that it was not good to practice wrestling and forge your health, but why did you make up nonsense for me first. Teacher Yuan was a little speechless.

"Hey, teacher, don't you know that I have already studied the elementary school curriculum, and the junior high school textbooks are almost complete, and I really don't want to spend time after school and go back to the interest group classes. Zhong Yuemin could only smile hippie. Teacher Yuan was shocked: "What you said is true?" "Really, I know junior high school mathematics, algebra, solid geometry, and functions." Teacher Yuan patted his thigh and said, "Okay, it seems that you do have a talent in mathematics, and I can't let you waste your talent casually, otherwise it will be my dereliction of duty as a teacher." Zhong Yuemin was shocked when he heard it, this Teacher Yuan was going to catch a strong man, and said hurriedly: "But, Teacher Yuan, I still have to train in the Children's Palace, you don't know that I am weak when I am young, and the doctor asked me to exercise more, the body is the capital of the revolution, how can I contribute to the construction of New China if I am not healthy, you say yes." Teacher Yuan smiled: "What are you anxious about, I didn't stop you from practicing wrestling, I think so, you don't usually need you to go to the interest class, I will give you some questions and you can go back and do it yourself, and I will give you a lecture on the topic when you come to my house on Saturday morning." Yuemin, it's okay to do this. When Zhong Yuemin heard this, he couldn't hide anymore, so he had to accept his fate.

Before leaving, Teacher Yuan said, "Yuemin, you can bring the dumplings made for you by your master, the sauerkraut filling, and send me the lunch box back when you go back." Zhong Yuemin hurriedly refused, but in the end, he didn't win with Mr. Yuan, so he had to put the dumplings in his schoolbag.

went out of the office and found Li Kuiyong, and the two went to the Children's Palace again. Now it's all two people practicing wrestling, and the coach is watching from the sidelines, giving them guidance at any time, teaching tactics and techniques. But today Li Kuiyong was obviously wrong, he was told by the coach several times, his movements were not in place, his strength could not keep up, and he was always thrown down by Zhong Yuemin. In the middle, Li Kuiyong was knocked down and didn't get up for a long time, so the coach had to let them take a break, "Kuiyong, what's wrong with you today, how do you feel like you haven't eaten." Zhong Yuemin pulled Li Kuiyong up and asked. "I really haven't eaten, my mom is sick, my dad works the night shift, my brothers and I can't eat, I ate an overnight nest in the morning today. Now my hungry eyes are full of gold stars, and I have no strength. Zhong Yuemin remembered that he didn't see Li Kuiyong eating lunch, so he took out the dumplings given by Teacher Yuan from the bag and handed them to Li Kuiyong: "This is the sauerkraut dumplings made by Master Yuan, you eat some first." Li Kuiyong became even more hungry when he smelled the dumplings, but he still excused himself: "You can eat it yourself, no one is rich in food now, and the dumplings will be eaten for the New Year, so you should take them home." Zhong Yuemin directly opened the aluminum lid of the lunch box, and the fragrance came to his nose, "You can eat it, I will eat it when I go home, you can eat a little cushion first." Li Kuiyong pushed but couldn't take it, the dumplings were vegetarian, put some sesame oil, he ate a small half box in one go, and then sighed deeply: "It's so fragrant, I haven't eaten such fragrant dumplings for a long time, thank you Yuemin, I'm almost done, you can eat the rest." "No, you can eat, I don't lack food at home, I have something to eat when I go home." "I really don't want to, then I'll take it home and eat it for my younger brothers and sisters, they haven't eaten dumplings for a long time." Zhong Yuemin sighed and said, "Take it back, you have a lot of children, I'll go back with you and visit your mother." "Cheng, go back and take the lunch box away. Li Kuiyong happily replied, Zhong Yuemin was going to his house for the first time, and he was very happy to entertain this good friend at home.

Li Kuiyong took Zhong Yuemin to his house, and the two of them have been going around the alley, and now the alley of BJ is still similar to that before the liberation, the road surface is dilapidated and narrow, and people on both sides are privately built and built in a good alley. But there is no way to do this, after the liberation of BJ, the population of BJ grew up sharply, the family had four or five children, and when the children grew up, they had no place to live and could only build houses in the yards and alleys, which was the case until the nineties.

When they were about to arrive at Li Kuiyong's compound, they suddenly heard a noise coming out of the alley in front of them, "Beat him, beat him...", Li Kuiyong heard this, and rushed up, beating a group of children around there in three or two, and shouted: "Bastard, you are bullying Changli again, there is a kind of you and him going head-to-head, what is a group of people fighting one!" At this time, Zhong Yuemin also rushed up, and Li Kuiyong became a corner, staring at the opposite side and asked: "Kuiyong, who are these people, do you want to help?" A bunch of cowards only dared to bully the few, and I knocked them down with one hand. Li Kuiyong said contemptuously.

The group of people on the opposite side are teenagers, who usually bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, and they don't dare to go against Li Kuiyong at all, let alone have a Zhong Yuemin who doesn't look easy to deal with, so they slowly get together to look at each other and then turn around and run away. Li Kuiyong walked over and pulled up the boy lying on the ground, "Changli, are you okay?" The boy is not tall, he looks very thin, but there is a ruthlessness in his eyes, his eyes are blue, his lips are broken, and after being pulled up, he patted the soil on his body, and replied: "It's okay, they just rely on the large number of people, and I didn't suffer a loss, and broke the leader's head." "It's okay, oh, let me introduce you, this is Zhong Yuemin, I'm at the same table." Li Kuiyong turned around and said to Zhong Yuemin: "This is Zhou Changli, I am small, and I live in our alley." ”

Zhong Yuemin didn't expect to see the little bastard in the original book so early, the little bastard at this time was only ten years old, and he didn't have the ruthlessness of casually inserting someone else's knife 4 or 5 years later, but the fight was really fierce. Zhong Yuemin didn't look at Zhou Changli differently because of the little bastard in the original book, because he understood that everyone's growth is shaped by various factors, and who knows what will happen to Zhou Changli in this world. Zhong Yuemin stretched out his hand to Zhou Changli and said, "Hello, I am Zhong Yuemin, Kui Yong's classmate. Zhou Changli looked at the tall man in front of him with beautiful eyebrows, but he also had some good feelings, and Li Kuiyong, a mutual friend, also held Zhong Yuemin's hand and said politely: "Hello, I'm Zhou Changli." ”

"Changli's father is a boiler worker in an instrument factory, his mother is illiterate and has no job, and the whole family depends on his father's salary, and the living conditions are also very hard. Others are not bad, but they are more wild, and they often fight for their younger brothers and sisters at home. The two of us have been playing together since we were kids, and we are good buddies in a pair of pants. Li Kuiyong introduced Zhou Changli to Zhong Yuemin as he walked, Zhong Yuemin was really interested, asked questions from time to time, and arrived at Li Kuiyong's house after a while.

Li Kuiyong's younger brothers and sisters were overjoyed when they saw the eldest brother bring back sauerkraut dumplings, and they were all overjoyed to serve their sick mother who drank some gruel and ate some dumplings, and several younger brothers and sisters also got one or two mouthfuls of dumplings, so they were also very content. Zhong Yuemin watched from the side, a little sad, although he had long known that Li Kuiyong's family conditions were poor, but he was not shocked to see it with his own eyes. Although he was a little poor before he was reborn, he was not short of food, and after he was reborn, there were fewer types of food, and he was not hungry. Only then did Zhong Yuemin realize that the country was too poor in this era, the material was extremely scarce, and the people were starving at any time, and it was already the 21st century for all Chinese to get rid of hunger.
