Chapter 27: Ice Packs
As soon as June 1st passes, time flies. Soon, Xiaoxi will usher in the final exam of kindergarten.
On this day, the sun was shining outside the house, and it was a good time for the exam. I don't know why the final exams in kindergarten are earlier than those in grades 1 to 4, and they are held at the end of June.
Because of the 9 o'clock exam, the children planned to go to school late, packed up their pencils and erasers, and left home at 8 o'clock.
When I arrived at the classroom, I found that there were already a lot of people, and Mr. Jiang was already sitting in the classroom waiting. In fact, the kindergarten exam is not strict, and he still sits as usual, the desk has not moved a little, and the distance is close, and Mr. Jiang does not prevent his classmates from plagiarizing at all.
Xiaoxi sat in his seat, waiting for the test papers to come down, the habit he had developed in his previous life, and he roughly read the next question before he started writing. It took me about ten minutes to write, and I didn't want to attract too much attention, so I was still lying on the table and pretending to write. Because the front and back of the test paper are two with a total of four pages, pinyin and arithmetic are all on one paper, and the amount of questions is relatively large, Mr. Jiang gave two hours of time.
Taking a blank piece of paper, Xiaoxi drew cartoon characters, Big Head Son, Crayon Xiaoxin, SpongeBob SquarePants, Pleasant Goat...... About an hour passed, and Brook pretended to be casual and glanced at the classroom. The children are still struggling to write, and they are counting the problem with their fingers in pain, hahaha, this is like their own many years ago, their fingers are not enough, and their knuckles are made up. Also, Mom, how simple this is, I don't know what plagiarism is. You won't, can't you be at the same table, no, it's good for you to study at the same table, don't break your fingers, you're about to be broken and still counting, or copy your tablemate.
"Poof", well, the one in front of you who counts the knuckles, you are quite smart, because there is still a finger counter here, smelling this sour smell, vomiting, and the overnight meal is about to vomit.
Retracting his gaze, Xiaoxi looked at Chen Yubin next to him and found that he had already written to the last page, and he was almost finished. Thinking that it was still early, I couldn't help but lie on the table again and start drawing figures.
The exam time was finally over, and after packing his schoolbag, Xiaoxi remembered a few yuan in his pocket, so he pulled Zhao Juan and walked to the store, "Binbin Xiaojuan, let's go, I'll buy some candy." "It's not so easy to come to the brigade during the summer vacation.
Two fruit candies for one dime, one lollipop for one dime, Xiaoxi spent a dollar to buy five lollipops, four fruit candies for Chen Yubin, and three cola-flavored ice packs, one for each person.
The ice pack is the kind of small bag, which is mixed with saccharin, and then frozen into ice, a dime and a bag, and eaten in the summer, which is very cool. When you bite the corner, you suck the sugar water inside, and the taste is very sweet at first, but in the end, only the white flavor remains.
Because today's children don't have the behavior of answering the right questions after the test, they don't know that there is such a thing, in their hearts there is only play, the exam or something is in the classroom, after class, then it has to be fun.
One person was holding an ice pack, and it was still early, so he looked along the road, walked there, and grinded home. It's almost 12 o'clock when I get home, and lunch is almost open.
Knowing that Xiaoxi was going to have a final exam today, Grandpa Chen prepared the pork leg early and prepared to stew it and celebrate when they came back at noon.
Xiaoxi and Binbin finished the exam at eleven o'clock, and it was only twenty minutes before they came back, why did they not come back at eleven forty, and the pork leg was stewed. After a while, it was almost twelve o'clock, why hadn't he come back yet, Grandpa Chen went out and waited in the courtyard, and after a while, he saw the creek from a distance and they came back from the road with a bag in their mouths, and the three of them were still talking and laughing, very happy.
In the distance, I saw my grandfather with a dark face by the stream, standing on the edge of the yard dam, so I hurriedly said to Zhao Juan: "Xiaojuan, let's go back first, and come back to play with you in the afternoon, bye." He took out a lollipop for Zhao Juan from his schoolbag, then waved at her, and pulled Chen Yubin to run home.
"Grandpa, hey, hey, why are you here, waiting for me?" Knowing that he was late to return, Xiaoxi smiled flatteringly.
Grandpa Chen's face was dark, and he said unhappily, "Why did you come back now?" ”
Xiaoxi quickly put away the smile on his face, and said very guiltily: "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have played on the road, we should go home after school, I'm sorry, I won't next time." ”
Chen Yubin was so frightened that he quickly grimaced and said sincerely: "Grandpa, we will never do it again." ”
Grandpa Chen didn't intend to let it go lightly as usual, and continued to say seriously: "Xiaoxi, you are the eldest and you have to teach your younger brother well, why do you say that you don't know how to be obedient day by day?
glanced at Chen Yubin, who was silent next to him, Chen Yubin, you white-eyed wolf, if it weren't for you, would you have come back so late, don't open your mouth now. "Grandpa, I know it's wrong, and I promise I won't do it again. Xiaoxi raised her head and looked straight at Grandpa Chen with big watery eyes, and her attitude was very serious.
Hearing her sincere apology, Grandpa put away the seriousness on his face, eased his face, and said in a harmonious voice: "Okay, let's go home for dinner." ”
"Hmm. After saying that, Xiaoxi stepped forward with a hippie smile and grabbed Grandpa Chen's arm, and there was still a little guilt just now. Chen Yubin also followed and giggled.
After returning to the house, Xiaoxi left Chen Yubin on the side, grimaced at him, stepped forward to greet his mother-in-law, and then sat down at the dinner table.
When Chen Yubin sat over, Xiaoxi tugged at his sleeve and said viciously, "Why didn't you help me just now?"
Chen Yubin looked confused and said puzzledly: "Ah, help you, what can I help you?"
"Hmph, don't pretend you don't know, you little scoundrel. Poked Chen Yubin's forehead viciously, then took out the ice pack in his schoolbag, shook it in front of his eyes, and sighed and said, "Alas, it seems that no one eats the ice pack I bought, forget it, or I suffer a loss, I'll eat it." He pretended to eat it. This ice pack was bought by Xiaoxi when he returned to the store later, because it was too hot in the summer, and Chen Yubin also liked to eat it, so Xiaoxi bought an extra one.
Chen Yubin hurriedly stopped and said anxiously: "Oh, don't, sister, I was wrong, give me food." ”
Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows, squinted at him, and said slowly, "Oh...... What are you wrong?"
Chen Yubin said pitifully: "I should have stood up in time to rescue you just now, and I shouldn't have stood aside to watch your jokes." ”
"Poof" Xiaoxi handed over the ice pack, "Okay, I bought it for you, I'll play with you, let's eat it." ”
Chen Yubin took it and said sweetly to Xiaoxi: "I know, thank you, sister." After speaking, he bit the corner, because it has been a while, although the creek has wrapped several layers and put it in the schoolbag, now it has melted most of it, and the bag is bulging, and when Chen Yubin bites it like this, the water comes out.
Grandpa Chen scooped a big bowl of stew and brought it over, and when he saw that Chen Yubin was still eating ice packs, he complained to Xiaoxi, "It's all eaten, you give him ice packs to eat." Then she put the bowl on the dining table, and Granny Chen also came over with chopsticks.
Xiaoxi said nonchalantly: "Oh, it's okay, this is all turned into water, and it will be eaten in a while." ”
Grandpa Chen sat down, and then said slowly: "Binbin, go and put it down (put down), and eat it after eating." ”
"But I want to eat it. Chen Yubin held it and didn't let go.
Grandpa Chen's face darkened, and his mother-in-law pinched the chopsticks in her hand and snorted, "Come on, come on, eat." As he spoke, he glanced at Grandpa Chen and continued: "You don't care about him, let him eat if he wants to eat, and you can eat after eating." ”
Chen Yubin held the ice pack in his hand and nodded quickly, looking at his grandfather pitifully like a pug, almost sticking out his tongue.
Grandpa Chen's face was grim, and he said coldly: "No, go and put it away, you are not allowed to eat it at this time." ”
Frightened, the mother-in-law's hand with chopsticks shook, glared at Grandpa Chen angrily, and shouted: "Oh, you old man, what are you doing, ah......?
Xiaoxi saw that the situation was not right, so he quickly pulled the sleeve of Chen Yubin, who was scared and teary-eyed, leaned up and whispered: "You go to the cupboard to find a bowl, put the ice pack away, and when we finish eating, it will melt, just right, you can just drink ice water, ah, don't cry." ”
After nodding pitifully, Chen Yubin got up and walked towards the cupboard, and when he turned away, he wiped his tearful eyes with his sleeve.
Seeing that his grandson obediently went to put the ice pack, Grandpa Chen ignored his wife who was still complaining, and said to Xiaoxi in a deep voice: "Xiaoxi, you will buy these things in the future and take them out when you come back at dinner.
Xiaoxi knew that his behavior today was very wrong, so he quickly nodded and said, "I know, grandpa, I won't be like this in the future." ”
Seeing that Xiaoxi realized his mistake, Grandpa Chen couldn't help but ease his face, and when he saw Chen Yubin coming back, he said in a soft voice: "Okay, let's eat." ”
Granny Chen sat aside angrily, this old man, when did he say no, he said it during dinner, so he pretended not to hear what Grandpa Chen said, but when he thought about it, he couldn't starve his good grandson, so he said softly to them: "Xiaoxi, Binbin, come to eat." After speaking, he handed them the chopsticks in his hand, glanced at his wife again, and said viciously: "Let's eat quickly, don't let him eat, hum." ”
Grandpa Chen looked at the old woman who was making a mistake, and couldn't help but be a little funny, so he got up and went to get chopsticks by himself, and sat on the chair to eat with relish, and the angry Granny Chen gritted her teeth.
The two little guys who watched covered their mouths and giggled, and the sluggish atmosphere at the dinner table swept away a lot. Granny Chen thought about it, knew that her wife was kind, and felt that she was wrong, and she was very childish when she thought about it, so she laughed "poof". Grandpa Chen saw that the old woman was not angry, and he also laughed, two fifty or sixty-year-old people, you look at me, I look at you, I am embarrassed to think of what happened just now, and I can't help but smile at each other. The two little ones laughed when they saw their grandparents and mother-in-law, and when the clouds dispersed, they became happy, and then the family ate with laughter.
After eating, Granny Chen washed the dishes, Xiaoxi wiped the table, Grandpa Chen found a broom and a dustpan to throw bones and dried chili peppers on the ground, and Chen Yubin sat aside with a bowl and ate ice packs beautifully.
Xiaoxi saw that the table was clean, so he took out the schoolbag on the side, took out four fruit candies, ran to his mother-in-law "decently", tore open the wrapping paper, and said sweetly: "Mother-in-law, give you candy." ”
Granny Chen said with a relieved face: "I don't eat it, give it to Xiaoxi." ”
Xiaoxi raised her hand, shook her head, and said, "No, (goosebumps), I still have this, this for my mother-in-law." ”
Seeing her stubbornly raising her hand, knowing that it was her granddaughter who was filial to herself, she bent down and took Xiaoxi's hand and put the sugar in her mouth. I don't know if the sugar is too sweet, I feel sweet in my heart.
Xiaoxi fed another one to his grandfather, then sat down next to Chen Yubin, stretched out his palm, and handed him the sugar, "Now, here you go, you will eat less sugar in the future, this is one today, you have to rinse your mouth quickly after eating." ”
There is sugar to eat, how can there be no agreement, Chen Yubin took the sugar and quickly nodded and agreed.
Xiaoxi remembered the problem of teeth cleaning, because there are few people brushing their teeth in the countryside now, and everyone didn't notice this problem at all, so the store didn't sell toothbrushes and toothpaste, and Xiaoxi couldn't say that she wanted to brush her teeth, but she "hadn't seen it". So she can only rinse her mouth diligently every day, after getting up and before going to bed, before and after eating, after eating snacks, she doesn't want to have rotten teeth in the future.
Thinking that Chen Yubin should also pay attention to this issue, he will have to supervise him well in the future. The lollipop that I bought for him was not going to be given to him all at once, give it to him, maybe he will eat it in one go, anyway, the summer vacation is still growing, give it slowly.
