The static time and space traveled from the primeval times and made a disturbance under the cliff on the edge of the big pine forest, the birds chirped, the insects crawled around speechlessly to find a safe way, and a lazy earth-skin snake slid past its feet and looked back demonstratively with a letter, as if to say: Forget it, we are cunning snakes, and we don't care about fools.

"This snake is nutritious, or shall we eat him?"

"Forget it, less meat is more poisonous and it's not easy to deal with! ”

I didn't eat anything when I was a child, and as long as I could find it, it basically went into my stomach. The two children did not eat less snake meat, I heard that eating snakes in summer can prevent mosquitoes, and they even looked for the skin to roast on the fire and stuffed it into the mouth regardless of whether it was cooked or not, and it was really poor at that time.

After going out of the mountain to study, I stopped eating snakes, and finally mentioned the courage to eat snakes again, but I was beaten back by Shi Lu's sense of hierarchy that he couldn't look down on how to deal with snakes. I watched the lazy guy slip away, glaring at him with hatred.

"The snake is easy to hold grudges, provoke him and don't beat him to death, next time he will remember you, maybe he won't be able to bite you again. Or will it be destroyed?"

Gou Wei asked his brother with the only little hope, Shi Lu was just frightened, and shook his head motionlessly. This broken snake may be eaten by the yellow skin in a while, but there is no yellow skin, there are many wild cats in this big pine forest, don't you see that the squirrels and birds are getting fewer and fewer now? This snake is lucky, and the lucky one should be given a way out!

Gou Wei snuffed out the little courage that had just risen, and fell to the grass, longing for the little snake to come to his feet without long eyes. But this is a bluff thing, when you see someone strong, you run, and you disappear.

"Xiaowei, I said, you go to be a soldier, right? When the three-year soldier comes out, you can not only arrange a good job, but also have such an adult, and your life will be better. ”

"I'm too tired, what's the effort. Isn't it right away that I'm going to go through the graduation procedures and then be assigned?

I had to be a teacher in my teaching profession. How wonderful!

It's nice to have one and a half days off a week, and a winter and summer vacation every year!"

Shi Lu, who had just been led to the fork in the road, turned back by himself, and Gou Wei, who never objected to the opinions of his family, had no choice but to speak his heart. Comfort, the pursuit of ease.

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there is no pure land in this world. You're going to suffer for your character.

Sometimes a loss can make you unrecoverable.

Forget it, let's not talk about it. I'm just a suggestion, listen to you or not.

Hey, you studied teacher training. What do you learn in school, I seem to have heard my godfather say that you will pay a tuition fee when you go to school in the past three years, and you haven't asked for money for the rest of the years.

It's not that high, is it? You're not going to do anything else, are you?"

Curious, absolutely curious. Of course, this secondary school is also Gou Wei is very proud of three years, and he has always wanted to find someone to talk to, but no one asked, and after holding it for three years, he finally could talk.

"I can't compare my studies with you, the eldest young master, that bitterness, the simple value is inhumane, it can be said that there is no one before or after......"

Gou Wei rested his head on the grass and looked at the blue sky, and began to blow bubbles in his mouth, but was unceremoniously interrupted by Shi Lu.

"Come on, you can do it! first say bitter, then sweet, and add your own efforts in between. I don't want you to make a report, why are you going to trick children into playing?

Love to say it or not!"

"Okay, I said it's not okay, you have to listen patiently, there should be applause here when it comes to wonderful!"

The angry Shi Lu dragged the grass and rubbed it on his face, cowardly not to mention the debt, not to mention the atmosphere when he was at ease, how could all the shortcomings be so perfectly combined?

"The family is poor, and the tuition fee is still given by my godfather, so the living expenses are gone. Even if you eat seafood in the Beihai, East China and South China Seas all day long, you can't keep it supported by living expenses, and it costs about 50 yuan a month for living expenses! Not counting the toiletries, I am a towel to wash my face, take a bath, wipe my feet, and send it all away, and the towel has holes, toothbrushes, and leftover sticks.....

"What, seafood. I don't have that much luxury. ”

Shi Lu didn't understand, when did this old brother go to school to eat seafood, and it only cost fifty yuan. provoked Gou Wei to roll his eyes sideways, looking at it like a fool, if you can eat seafood, you are still poor?

"White radish with kelp, North Sea, pumpkin with kelp, South China Sea, winter melon with kelp, East China Sea. Kelp, seafood. Don't ask, as soon as you ask, I feel sick to my stomach when I listen to seafood now, but I can't eat it.

I can't help it. What can I do to improve my life?"

"What should I do?" Shi Lu unconsciously guessed how this already very smart brother would improve his life, and he wouldn't steal it, right?

"Why do you have a mountain at home? I grabbed what I could eat in the mountains and dried it and pickled it, so that I could take it to the school in the jar. Bring a jar of chili radish and it's delicious. But you can't eat it all the time, what should I do?"

"What should I do?" Shi Lu knew that he had been taken to the pit, but he still wanted to know what was going on, and it was also a different experience and story for him. may be able to find the source of Gou Wei's cowardice.

"I found a lid that people on the side of the road didn't want, sealed it with film, and then used colored paper to trace some raw materials and factory locations in the shape of the wrapping paper that sold canned food outside. All in all, it's amazing.

Later, I tasted it for my dormitory classmates. I won't always give it, and I can't afford it. After collecting some production costs, there will be living expenses.

Later, the whole dormitory knew that I had ancestral mixed meat with folk flavor. My jar of cured meat is in short supply, and I don't have to worry about living expenses anymore. ”

"When the mixed meat, the marinated mixed meat, how I don't know. Shi Lu was very curious, this brother is really smart, and he really responded to a sentence: people are forced out. It seems that he has to be forced to change his stinky body.

"Mixed meat is a pot of snake meat, mouse meat, cat meat, and frog meat. I've tried it, it's not poisonous, and it doesn't kill people, but the taste is a little worse. But people like it! I really don't understand, how can someone take this bite, the more unpalatable it is, the more they want to eat it, and they also eat the delicious food in the world. I can't figure it out!"

"That's called curiosity, that's called conformity. The picture is fresh, and the competition is the first to see. You're really bold, and you're not afraid of poisoning people. ”

Shi Lu felt that this old brother was quite courageous, but courage does not equal recklessness, and it would be good not to touch his head and bleed.

"Hey, no way. It's better to be poisoned than to starve, and I'm a full ghost when I get to Hades. Hey, you don't have to never know what you can do. Of course, I have been worried for a long time, afraid that something will go wrong. There was nothing wrong with the back, so I boldly walked forward. ”

"Then you make a lot of money, and you don't have to ask my dad to borrow tuition anymore!"

Shi Lu was very surprised, could it be that the children of the poor were in charge of the family early, but this was too much, right? What about more than 6,000 yuan in three years and six semesters? For this mountain man who has no income, this is an astronomical amount. Even if it is placed in the current city, it is astronomical, you must know that the salary of people in the city is only more than 1,000 yuan.

"Tuition, I sold a few pickle jars and got them. ”

"What jar, gold, or antique?"

A pickle jar can sell for more than 6,000, and I can't really think of anything that can sell so much except for antiques. Shi Lu was even more curious, and looked up to his brother a little in his heart: No wonder the old man wants to fight hard, he is really a dragon who sends me to the blue sky with his strength. But now that the dragon has no claws, it's a pity. I want to help.

"Hey, what an antique. It's the kind of clay pot we put in the town, because it is old on the ground of the stove house, it is stained with oil, soil and something, and it looks quaint after soaking the chili pepper for a few years.

That day, I sat in the car with the jar in my arms, and a few city people who went to the countryside to collect broken furniture stared at my jar all the way. I'm a left-to-right blocker, they're looking left and right. I only have a few dollars on me, so I don't want to beat my money. People are inferior, and they are not women, and they will not beat my idea, but it is estimated that they are the idea of beating me with pickles. But my pickles don't leak out of the jar?

I tried my best to guess that I had bought this jar from the town, and it was not wrong at all, it was not a treasure, so I didn't pay attention to it.

But they always followed, and when I got out of the car, they got off, and when I entered the school, they tried their best to stop me. An old man stopped me: 'Classmate, this is a pickle, right? And it's a pickle from the mountains, right? Will you sell it to me?'

I said, 'No, this dish was brought to our uncle by my father, and it is an old pickle that has been pickled at the landlord's house for decades.' ’”

"Haha, Xiaowei, you're too good at it, right? Can you still eat decades of old pickles? You think it's wine, the more you put it, the more fragrant it becomes!"

Shi Lu was also amused, he didn't expect Gou Wei to be able to lie, this subverted his senses!

"Don't interject, okay. There should be applause at this point, and it will disrupt you. How can I go on.

The old gentleman said, 'Classmate, the family is a favor, I pay for it, you spend money to buy some more exquisite gifts, isn't it more polite to send them.' ’

I was obviously impressed, wishing he could buy it, and if there was a living allowance, there would be a living allowance.

'Okay, my dad said, this pickle is very valuable. Almost three thousand, no, four thousand. I deliberately said a big number, and first asked for a lot of money and waited for someone to sit on the ground and pay back.

I didn't think about it, and the old man thought about it for a long time and paid back three hundred yuan. As soon as I wanted to have a play, I bit 4,000 yuan and finally gave me 3,000 yuan. The old man also asked:

'Do you still have a jar of pickles in your house?'

'How do you know?'

I was so excited to get the money that I wanted to run away, afraid that people would find me. I will reply whatever the old gentleman asks, just thinking about dealing with the past and running away.

The most unexpected thing was that when I went home to pick up pickles again the next week, I was bumped into someone. I thought to myself, it's over, this is the back account.

The most unexpected thing was that people would buy my jar for another 3,000 yuan as soon as they got out of the car.

I haven't had to worry about tuition fees for a few years. There are still a lot of good people in the world!"

Gou Wei sighed with emotion, when he was most frustrated, the most proud thing happened, which is called balance. This balance allows Gou Wei not to take the pride too seriously, nor to take the frustration too deeply, just pass it, right?
