Early in the morning of the second day, Xing Youliang took Zhang Xiaochuan to Principal Jiang's house, and Principal Jiang didn't get up for long, opened the door and looked at the two good-looking boys in front of him, Jiang smiled and let him in.

"You guys came so early, Ono is still sleeping. ”

Xing Youliang knew it in his heart, and sure enough, the babies in the city were very lazy, and now they were still sleeping, so he pulled Zhang Xiaochuan into his room secretly, and saw Tian Ye curled up and sleeping on one side, frowning, as if dreaming.

Zhang Xiaochuan walked to the edge of the chair against the wall and sat down, as if waiting for the field to wake up.

"The lights of the third watch and the fifth watch of the chicken are when the boy is studying; the black hair does not know how to study early, and the white head regrets studying late. “

The man on the bed, his thick eyebrows wrinkled deeper, the eyeballs on his curled eyelashes kept rolling, and he couldn't sleep well when he was tossing and turning on the bed, and he seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and turned over and threw the pillow under his head to the place where the sound came from,

"There is food for punishment, you are annoyed to death, is Wang Ba reciting the scriptures?"

Xing Youliang heard the other party's reaction, put the book on the low table on the side, and looked at the dark and bright eyes in front of him with a slight anger,

"Be diligent in time, the years don't treat people, the day is bright, why are you still sleeping in bed, I really haven't seen anyone lazier than you. ”

Tian Ye tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Who are you fooling, isn't your sister just sleeping until she wakes up naturally one day, and the horns in the village can't wake her up." ”

Hearing this, he was stunned and said calmly,

"She's still young, you should get up quickly, don't delay the time. ”

Xing Youliang urged the field to finish washing, and then dragged him to the study and began their day's study.

Tian Ye felt that living in this graphite village, it was good anywhere, but he was like a little adult, and he was either taking care of his younger brothers and sisters all day long, or working, otherwise he would study, and the most annoying thing was that he had to pull him along, and now he didn't make delicious bamboo tube rice for him to eat.

Tian Ye glanced at the field next to him with resentment, but saw that the other party listened to the class seriously and did not feel his dissatisfaction at all.

"Okay, okay, since I can't hide, I'll accompany you to study, and I'll be idle anyway. Tian Ye recklessly accepted his fate.

Since he knew Tian Ye, Xing Youliang felt that this young master had a temper, a poisonous mouth, and sometimes he was a child, and he either slept or slept in class, but after only one day, he found that this person was not what he appeared on the surface. No matter how difficult the questions proposed by Principal Jiang, he can answer them, and he is quite insightful, not much better than Xiao Chuan, he is more talented in mathematics, and many problems that he can't solve, but he can solve them in three or two clicks.

After class in the afternoon, Tian Ye looked at Xing Youliang with an incredible expression, and said proudly,

"Worship me, that's ,,, too"

When Xing Youliang heard this, he hurriedly pulled Xiaochuan out of the yard,

"Xiaochuan, hurry up and go to the cafeteria, Aunt Li is waiting for you. ”

"You're not going?"

"I'm not going. “

Xing Youliang had no choice but to tell Zhang Xiaochuan the reason why his family couldn't eat in the cafeteria, and walked quickly in the direction of home.

After the establishment of the commune canteen, the production team of Graphite Village stopped distributing grain every year, and the villagers' stored grain was also collected into the commune granary, forcing everyone to eat in the canteen. The canteen room is newly renovated, built next to Chen Haibo's house, with a new stove, rough walls, huge iron pots, sea bowls on the table next to the wall, dishes together, and wooden signs three fingers wide hanging on the outer wall. The name of each member is written on the wooden plaque, and whoever has received the meal will turn over the sign of the person who has eaten the meal, so that some people will not come to receive the second meal.

Although everyone was forced to join the commune canteen, the daily meal changed from two meals to three meals, and there was a big white steamed bun in the evening, which made the villagers feel a little better. But it's only a little better, because in the canteen, whether it is the cook, the cook, the fire, or the chores, they are all Chen Tianba's people. You must know that these positions are not only high, but there is a lot of oil and water in them, who doesn't want to squeeze in for two full meals, but Chen Tianba is so determined, so that many people with ideas have resentment in their hearts, but because of Chen Tianba's fist, they dare not speak out.

The problem of the canteen is not only related to this, Wang San and Wang Si, who are cooking, are completely watching people cooking, and they are playing a little more when they are pleasing to the eye, and the spoon of the rice that is not pleasing to the eye is still shaking twice, and when it falls into the bowl, it is a whole third less.

Li Lilian is one of them, because of the background of the landlord family, she is hated by the peasant class, the more impoverished she is, the more she looks down on Li Lilian, and even Zhang Xiaochuan is the same, every time she queues up, the food in the bowl is much less than that of others.

"Come, Xiaochuan, eat more, my mother is not hungry. Li Lilian sat on the edge of the earthen dam outside the cafeteria, picked up the bowl and prepared to pour a little of the thick porridge from her bowl into her son's bowl.

Zhang Xiaochuan hurriedly took the bowl and dodged, "Mother, they already beat us less, how can you eat it." Zhang Xiaochuan looked at his mother, looked at her emaciated face, and panicked.

"Mother, if I were better, I would be able to help you work, and I wouldn't let you work so hard. ”

"Silly son, my mother is very good, don't they often send fish over when there is food, my mother is much better now. ”

Speaking of them, Li Lilian looked around but didn't see their shadows.

"There is food for them, why didn't you come to get food together after class? ”

Zhang Xiaochuan was about to speak, so that the third aunt sitting next to him came to his senses, and gossiped with an expression that you don't know,

"You don't know yet, this Chen Tianba," the third aunt glanced around, lowered her voice, and continued in a low voice to Li Lilian,

"Chen Tianba and they disqualified them from eating in the canteen, saying that there was no one in their family to earn work, but according to my inquiry, it was because the three children did not have food in stock, and Chen Tianba did not want them to eat the food in the canteen for nothing. ”

When the third aunt said this, the people nearby all said it,

Woman A: "Then these children must not starve, for fear that one day they will die of starvation on the mountain, and no one will know." ”

Woman B: "Isn't it, that's a sin." ”

A thin, teenage boy stopped walking when he heard their conversation. The boy was wearing a torn vest and gray-green trousers with a large cut in the knee of the trousers, and his thin black legs could be clearly seen. There was no flesh on the leg at all, and the capulum on the knee was particularly prominent. The curtain on his face was so long that it covered his eyes, so he couldn't see his expression. I saw him put the steamed bun in his hand into his trouser pocket, and continued to walk forward.
