"Kui Yong, where did you get the food stamps and money? Did you do something bad?" This is Li Kuiyong's father, Li Shunfa, who is asking his son, who is knocking on the cigarette pot at the table and staring at Li Kuiyong, for fear that this eldest son will not study well.

Before the liberation, Li Shunfa was a laborer, mainly relying on picking coal and pulling water for restaurants and workshops in the city to make a living. When the People's Republic of China was founded, an industrial cooperative was set up in the city, and he entered the instrument factory as a boiler worker under the arrangement of the street office. Later, the unit saw that others were honest and hardworking, and introduced him to a widow, this widow was also a bitter person, and fled to BJ with a man before liberation, and then the man got sick and died, so he partnered with Li Yingchun to live. Li Kuiyong was born the next year, Li Yingchun had a son in middle age, and he was very interested in this son, hoping that he would study hard and be a cultural person, and not work hard like himself.

"Dad, this is what my classmate lent me, it is Zhong Yuemin I told you last time, I don't want it either, but I think that my younger brothers and sisters at home are going to starve, so I have to go next. Li Kuiyong felt a little aggrieved in his heart, teenagers couldn't stand being wronged the most.

"Really?" Li Shunfa asked subconsciously, and then spit out a puff of cigarette: "Hey, no family is rich in food now, and it is only a lifelong friendship if you are willing to borrow food, your classmate, Zhong Yuemin is really good to you." You go and talk to Yue Min tomorrow, just say your father and I thank him, and our father and son will inherit his affection. When the family is a little more comfortable, the money will have to be returned to others. ”

"Well, Dad, I'll definitely talk to Yue Min tomorrow. Besides, Yuemin and I are iron buddies, and I will definitely return it to him twice in the future. Li Kuiyong agreed, "I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some noodles and come back, and the rice jar at home has bottomed out." ”

Li Shunfa took out a five-pound food stamp and a gross ticket from the table and handed it to Li Kuiyong, then kicked the rest into his jacket pocket and said, "Go, remember to buy sorghum noodles and drink porridge at night." ”

"Got it. Li Kuiyong took the money and the cloth bag and went out.

There is a supply and marketing cooperative two miles away from Li Kuiyong's house, and because of the upcoming winter, the store is crowded with uncles and aunts, all of whom are buying Chinese cabbage and radishes to go home and stock up. At this time, the supply and marketing cooperatives don't have too many goods to sell, except for needles and threads, that is, cabbage, radish, yams, and occasionally some apples and oranges shipped from SD, which can make uncles and aunts grab it.

Li Kuiyong went straight through the crowd and went straight to the counter selling grain to buy a bag of sorghum noodles. When he came out, he saw Zhou Changli outside the supply and marketing cooperative, with his head down, back and forth, as if he was looking for something.

"Changli, what have you lost? ”

"Brother Kuiyong, I, I lost the food stamps, woo woo ······" Zhou Changli saw Li Kuiyong's tears falling suddenly, "This is the last bit of food stamp in our family, I have been holding it in my hand, for fear of losing it, but I still lost it when it came." ”

"How many pounds of food stamps have you lost?" Li Kuiyong was also anxious, nothing was as expensive as the gold he ate these days, "Where did you lose it?"

"Right here, I just saw a fight over cabbage here, so I watched for a while, and when the people dispersed, I lost my food stamps. Two catties of multigrain noodles, my younger brothers and sisters are still waiting, my dad will definitely kill me if he knows. Zhou Changli wiped his tears while looking around on the ground.

When Li Kuiyong heard it, he knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to find it: "Hey, there must have been someone picking it up just now." ”

Zhou Changli was anxious when he heard this: "Brother, what can I do about this, there is no food at home." ”

Li Kuiyong put down the grain bag on his shoulder, checked it, and said, "I just bought five catties of sorghum noodles, give you a little even, let's mix it up tonight first." ”

"What is this, Brother Kui Yong, your family also has a large population, and there is not much food at home, what should you do if you give me home?" Zhou Changli hurriedly refused.

"Hey, my family is also out of food, and my classmate Zhong Yuemin borrowed some food stamps and money from me, which was the one at the mouth of the alley last time. Li Kuiyong snatched Zhou Changli's cloth bag and put food inside, "You don't have to thank me, we have all been benefited by the Yue people." ”

"Zhong Yuemin ······" Zhou Changli muttered.

"Let's go, I'll go home with you. Li Kuiyong handed the grain bag to Zhou Changli.

Rustle, rustle, at this time the classroom was quiet, only the sound of the pen rubbing on the paper was heard, Zhong Yuemin was in the final exam of the fourth grade, the language was really not difficult, he wrote a little boring, three times five divided by two. It is estimated that when there is still half an hour, he is dozing off with his head propped up, and Li Kuiyong next to him is envious, jealous and hateful.

In the past month, Zhong Yuemin has been helping Li Kuiyong review, classifying and analyzing the various question types on the test papers, so that Li Kuiyong, who was originally a mess in his head, suddenly opened his mouth and felt an "epiphany". Although he is still a little difficult when he is doing the questions now, he is no stranger to all kinds of questions, and he knows what to fill in, unlike before, when he was completely lucky, he scored 60 points if he was lucky, and he went home for a beat if he was unlucky. It was only when he accepted Yue Min's teachings that Kui Yong's young heart was hit by 10 million points, and he once again fully realized the gap between people's IQs. This made Li Kuiyong realize that he had to hug Zhong Yuemin's thighs tightly and stay away from failing the exam in order to get rid of his father's "fried meat with bamboo shoots".

I finally stayed up until the afternoon to finish the math exam, and everyone in the class was very excited, and the classroom was full of buzzing sounds, and the students were discussing how to play during the holidays. The test has been completed, and the results will take another week to come out, there is no winter vacation homework this week, you can play carefree, and when the results come out, many students will face "mixed doubles".

"Yuemin, what are you going to do on vacation?" Cui Yang suddenly ran over and looked at Zhong Yuemin eagerly.

Li Kuiyong next to him suddenly interjected: "Yuemin wants to train with me, and next month there will be a competition in the interest group of the city's Children's Palace." ”

"Ah, Yue Min, you also participated in the Children's Palace, and I also learned to dance in the Children's Palace. When are you going to compete, I'll cheer you on!"

"Cui Yang, it's wrong for you to do this, Yue Min and I are going to compete, why do you only cheer for Yue Min, you are not conducive to disunity classmates. Li Kuiyong said strange things again next to him.

Cui Yang glared at Li Kuiyong, blushed and ran away.

At this time, the head teacher walked in, and the classroom fell silent. "Students, after the exam, you can go home early today. As soon as the head teacher's voice fell, there was a burst of cheers below. "Quiet down, it's not finished yet, there is a competition in the Children's Palace this Saturday, some students in our class participate, and other students can go and cheer them on when the time comes." Also, remember to come to class next Monday to get your report card. After speaking, the head teacher waved his hand to signal that the students could disperse.

Oh oh, the students in the class hung their schoolbags on their bodies and rushed out of the classroom in groups.

Zhong Yuemin and Li Kuiyong also walked outside the school together, Li Kuiyong seemed to have something on his mind, and he didn't speak, Zhong Yuemin was curious: "Kuiyong, what do you think, why are you talking so little?"

Li Kuiyong came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment and said: "Yue Min, there will be a game the day after tomorrow, the coach said that you and I are stronger in the youth group, I hope you promise me, in case we meet together, you must do your best." ”

Zhong Yuemin knows very well what Li Kuiyong is thinking, Li Kuiyong is usually very arrogant and very righteous towards his friends, but he has his own pride in wrestling, and he wants to win the championship with dignity. Zhong Yuemin said with a smile: "If you think of beauty, I won't let you do it, I have won this championship." ”

Li Kuiyong was amused when he heard it: "Phew, don't be ashamed, when you won, don't you bully me for not having food in my stomach, and when I am full, the champion has your." ”

The two of them fought all the way to the Children's Palace.
