Chapter 12: Getting Football
During the Chinese New Year, watch the party, eat and drink, and time flies quickly. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, my father and mother took my sister and me to the mine club to watch the fireworks. The mine was rich and wealthy, and the fireworks were set off for a long time. The father said to the mother, "How much does it cost?" ”
At that time, the child was very happy to put off the cracker, of course, for me, even if it was a simple cracker, my mother didn't buy much. At that time, I liked to go to the pile of firecracker shredded paper that others had put to rummage the firecrackers that did not explode, and after picking them up, I opened the firecrackers and gathered the * inside, and then used a match to stab, stabbing a sound, emitting a bright light, and then a burst of smoke rose, and I was very happy.
After the New Year, school is about to start, but at this time, I found out that the winter vacation homework has not been completed. I was in a hurry for a while, but after all, the winter vacation homework is a book, how can I finish it casually, and there are a lot of messy questions in it, like guessing a word puzzle, it's so easy to answer, and there was no Internet at that time, let alone Baidu search for anything. Just flipping and writing like this, there are still a lot of blanks when the school starts. Then on the first day of school, with a melancholy mood, I packed my schoolbag and walked into the campus.
As a result, the winter vacation homework teacher did not check at all, and the mood calmed down again. As soon as the mood calmed down, the head teacher's report card walked in, and the little heart came up again. Prick up two little ears and listen carefully to the head teacher reading the name. At this time, I remembered what my father said when I was with my parents, and promised to buy me a soccer ball when I was in the top three. "Third place, Li Yunlong. The head teacher said: "Li Yunlong has made a lot of progress this time, which is worthy of praise, and we must continue to persevere." As she spoke, the head teacher smiled at me. At this time, my heart has flown to the house, and I want to tell my mother and father as soon as possible.
The class teacher continues to announce the results, and our class is still the last first place in the whole grade. However, it can also be seen that the head teacher Zhao Xiaoping was not too disappointed in this, and he may be used to it. For the students, they are more in contact with their classmates, and other classes are farther away, and there is no contact, and they don't seem to feel anything. At the beginning of the school year, there was not much to do at school, we just sent out the textbooks needed for the second half of the year, and we did not attend classes.
After school, I carried my schoolbag and sometimes trotted home. When I got home, I said to my mother, "Mom, the grades have come down." "Oh, the results are out, how many places did you get in the exam?" said the mother. "I finished third. I said. "Shall I look at your report card?" my mother looked at me. I showed the report card to my mother, who looked at it and handed it to my father and said, "The dragon's soccer seems to have been obtained, haha." The father pouted and smiled and said, "Hey, he really took the third place in the exam." Then he handed me the transcript. At this time, my mother looked at my father and smiled and said, "You can buy soccer balls for other people, haha." The father tilted his head and replied, "I was talking about playing." "Hearing my father say this, I felt a little uneasy. The mother said: "Oh, you said that you bought a football for others when they got into the top three, and you agreed to it, and you didn't talk about it." After saying that, the mother glared at the father in vain. The father pouted in embarrassment and said, "Okay, buy it." Then he asked his mother, "Where can I buy it?" and "There should be no here, I have to go to the Huoxian supermarket." "Mother is not sure. "Okay, when I'm free, I'll take him with me when I'm free. When I heard my father say this, my heart relaxed. Then, my mother asked my father how to go to Huo County. My father said, "It's too far to take the car, and I'm very nervous to come back that day, and it's very troublesome if I can't catch the car." After thinking about it, my father said to my mother, "I should be able to come back in the morning by taking the path from Beishan." The mother said, "Take the path, do you know the way, you have to go over two mountains, right?" "Well, you have to go over two mountains." Know the way, walk the road, it's okay. The father replied.
Hearing my father say that he would take me with him, I was full of expectations for going to Huo County.
The next few days, have been looking forward to it. On Saturdays, I got up early and had breakfast. My father took me on his journey. Climbing a mountain is a small thing for me. I have lived in the ravines and ravines for all this time, and I have played in the mountains a lot. The Loess Plateau has little rain, and the mountains are very arid, so I walked up the mountain road behind my father, and from time to time I picked some sour dates on the side of the road to eat. The sour jujube in this season is shriveled, and there is only the jujube skin left outside the huge jujube core, but there is still a little pulp in between. In the mouth, it is sour, and it can make the stutter raw, and the taste is still good. There are very few people on the mountain, and when I am myself or with my classmates, I play on the mountain, but I mostly play halfway up the mountain, and rarely run to the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain, there are sparsely populated, and my parents often scare that there are wolves and bad people on the mountain, so they dare not run to the top of the mountain to play.
This is the first time I have followed my father to a place as high as a mountain, and when I look down from the mountain, the pedestrians on the street are as small as ants, and you can also see people carrying water with flat poles. On the mountain, I also saw my school, and then I realized that in the town, my school is really not small, the teaching building and the playground are two staircases, a large area.
There was a long building that was lying on the hill, and it said that the bridge was not a bridge, and that the road was not a road, and that was built high in the air, and that looked like there was a trough, and I asked my father, "Dad, what is that for?" and I pointed to the thing. My father looked at what I was pointing at and said, "That's what brings water, and when it rains, you can accumulate some water and use it to water the ground." "Oh, there's going to be water in that trough up there, I thought to myself. In addition to this, there are many very tall high-voltage wire racks on the mountain. There was nothing else, the whole mountain was bare and desolate.
At the top of the mountain, my father and I walked sideways to the west, and the dust on the road was so thick that it didn't go past the soles of my shoes, and the dusty places had to go into the shoes, and there was still some dirt in the shoes of the kick-and-kick walkers.
Going down the mountain, I don't know if it's a village or a town, looking at the scale should be a village, from the halfway up the mountain, I saw that there were several people in the village carrying water with a flat pole next to a roadside well, and there were people who had already picked up water in the distance.
Passing through the village, my father and I continued up the mountain. There was nothing to say all the way, there was very little vegetation on the mountain, and there were few trees, only the two shadows of my father and I that were shining into the ground by the sun. I pay attention to the shadows, one big and one small, one in front and one behind. When you climb over this mountain and go down the mountain, you can see that the gray in the distance is not known whether it is fog or dust, and you can vaguely see some high-rise buildings. I know Huo County has arrived. Going down the mountain and walking into the county seat from an alley, I feel that Huo County is very dark.
After entering the county, I was very well-behaved, and there were many people on the street, I didn't dare to go too far from my father, the shopping mall was nearby, my father took me in, said something to the salesman, took me to the place where the football was played, and said to me, "Just buy this, okay?" Also, I don't know what's good or bad, and I'm already very happy that my father can buy me a soccer ball. He nodded and said, "Well, okay." "I don't remember how much the ball was, it came in a net pocket. Father let him carry it. After that, I was led by my father and returned home with a football ball. On the way back, my heart was always on football, thinking about getting home as soon as possible to have fun, so I didn't pay attention to the side of the road on the mountain, and I felt that I was much faster when I went back than when I came.
When we got home, my mother looked at us and said, "Bought it?" and my father replied, "Well, it's bought." My mother looked at me and said, "Let me see." "I handed the football to my mother. "Oh, like that. The mother said, "Take it and play, I'll do laundry at the door, and if people bully you and steal your football, you can shout at me, and I can hear you." "Ang, got it. I told my mother.
