Chapter Twenty-Six: The Egg, the Little Bamboo
The son wants to raise but does not treat his parents, in fact, it should also include his grandfather and grandmother, at least in Li Jiaming's heart.
When he saw his grandmother, who had inconvenient legs and feet, appeared in the distant sun-grained flat, Li Jiaming's eyes were red and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Brother Jiaming, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, bugs got in the eyes. Hurry up, we're going to report on it."
Li Jiaming wiped the tears from his face, sped up his pace, and rushed to his grandmother in the distance with the soaked Jin Mei.
"Grandma!"
"Mingya!"
When he ran to Grandma, Li Jiaming was already smiling, threw himself into her arms and kissed her for a while, before taking the eggs and candy in her hand and helping Grandma into the house, "Where's Grandpa?"
"Oh, I went to Fengtan, and the grandfather of Jianmin passed away, and he went to help with his maternal uncle. ”
"Oh", Li Jiaming agreed, and then said: "Grandma, this is Jin Mei, the full (youngest) daughter of Uncle Chuanzu." She fell into the river, and I brought her to change her clothes. ”
Some timid Jin Mei whispered: "Grandma".
"Okay, come into the house, come into the house, I'll look for it. ”
Li Jiaming turned his head sideways at his grandmother, and he realized that Jin Mei, who came over, hurriedly came over to help his grandmother into the bedroom to find clothes to change. When she was wearing her cousin's clothes, her sleeves and trouser legs were rolled up high, Li Jiaming, who was swallowing eggs, had already washed her shorts and dried them on the bamboo pole in front of the door, and snatched the wet clothes that Jin Mei had changed from her grandmother and washed them in the back.
"We're sensible, hey"
Waiting for Li Jiaming to scrub his clothes quickly, the grandmother who wanted to help behind sighed, which made him feel sad, and he quickly raised his head and smiled: "Grandma, I'm still clean, right? Now, I washed the clothes of yes (Dad) and Wenwen, I washed them." ”
"Clean and clean"
This time, Jin Mei had eyes, and hurriedly took her clothes and ran outside to dry them clumsily. Li Jiaming helped Grandma to sit in the hall again, and said with a smile: "Grandma, I'm going to sign up." Jin Mei is in the first grade, and she has to take her to report. ”
"Okay, good, go quickly"
"Oh, here we go"
Under the loving eyes of his grandmother, Li Jiaming trotted towards the school with Jin Mei, and when he saw that no one saw him at the corner of the school gate, he took out the remaining eggs from his schoolbag and stuffed them into her hands, encouraging: "Today is quite brave, reward you." ”
The life of the people in the mountains is hard, the egg is not very attractive to a seven-year-old little girl, even if it is a little girl who is favored by her family, Jin Mei immediately smiled brightly, "Thank you, Brother Jiaming!"
"Eat quickly, don't let others see it. ”
"Hey", the little Jin Mei immediately peeled the eggs, and ate them in two or three bites with a smile. Many years later, the name was changed from Li Jinju to Li Xin's Jin Mei, who taught in a middle school in the provincial capital. Every time she goes back to her hometown with her husband and children to visit relatives, she often misses the white egg that Li Jiaming Province gave her with her childhood playmates and classmates. It's just that she is dressed fashionably and decently, and there are only some nostalgic topics left with those former playmates and classmates.
took Jin Mei into the school, threw it to the fine dog who had finished registering and was playing on the playground, and told him to take it to report, Li Jiaming rushed to his class. Being late is late, but sweating a little, panting a little roughly, and being beaten a little lighter, this is an experience that he remembers vividly.
"Hello Mr. Wang!"
"Hmm"
With a 'bang', there was a hot pain on Li Jiaming's bare arm, and a few blood marks were pulled out by the small bamboo tip in Mr. Wang's hand, and the students standing in their respective seats immediately stood more upright.
In other classes, students clean up after registering, but the hygiene in Mr. Wang's class has always been done by students who have done something wrong, such as Li Jiaming, who is late for registration. In Mr. Wang's class, being late is being late, no matter what the reason is, being late, and being late will be beaten, this is his rule.
"Where's the homework?"
"Here", Li Jiaming, who was panting, hurriedly took out his summer vacation homework from his schoolbag, and respectfully handed it over with both hands, the pain in his arm made his heart warm, this is his teacher!
Teacher Wang, who has passed the age of standing, was stunned by the faint tears and respectful attitude in Li Jiaming's eyes, and said secretly: This skinny boy, is he really sensible?
casually flipped through a few pages of summer vacation homework, and saw Mr. Wang, who was neatly handwritten and wearing a white shirt and black pants, so he nodded and praised, "Well, it's quite serious." Remember to be punctual and not be late, understand?"
"Yes", Li Jiaming hurriedly took out another fifteen yuan from his schoolbag, respectfully placed it on the podium, and took his receipt and new book.
"Go down"
"Yes"
When Li Jiaming stood on the seat in the first row, Teacher Wang glanced at the students in the class, focusing on Mao Tong, who was re-studying the fifth grade at the back, speaking Mandarin with a slight rural accent with a straight face, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone's summer vacation homework is very serious, and the teacher is very happy." Okay, everyone can go home, and Li Jiaming will stay and clean up the class!"
"Goodbye, teacher!"
Teacher Wang, who was expressionless, nodded, didn't even say the usual 'goodbye classmates', picked up the money on the podium and his iconic little bamboo shoot, and walked out of the classroom with his hands behind his back.
When Mr. Wang left, the classroom became active.
"Mingya, congratulations!"
"Is Mr. Wang's fried 'stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots' delicious?"
"I'm sure I'm not full, do you want me to fry another bowl for you?"
The friends who haven't seen each other for many years made Li Jiaming a little in a trance, and when he came back to his senses, he scolded, "Get out, if you don't leave, help me sweep the floor!"
What is Teacher Wang's order, then you must do what you order, these guys who have had a painful lesson, disdainfully: "You think well! You have been beaten, and you still want to beat us?"
"Then let me die far away!"
Li Jiaming ran to the corner, picked up a broom and blasted a group of students out of the classroom, and began to sweep the floor, wipe the tables, stools, and windows alone. The classmates outside the classroom watched the excitement for a while and made fun of them for a while, and when they saw Li Jiaming cleaning up with his head stuffy and ignoring them, they finally felt bored, and they each went home with their schoolbags, and no one dared to come in to help from beginning to end, even the two guys who had the best time with him.
Teacher Wang also has a rule that when the punished student has completed the punishment, he must go to his report and wait for him to finish the inspection before leaving. There is that Yama Bodhisattva sitting in the office waiting, who dares to come to help, not to mention which of these leather boys is not the master of schadenfreude?
Fortunately, the air in the mountain village is good, and the classroom has been thoroughly cleaned after school last semester, even if it is empty for two months, it is not very dirty, that is, the window glass, tables and stools are a little more dusty, but it is still very troublesome to let one person clean it.
Li Jiaming was used to doing housework at home, and he worked quickly with his head stuffy, and finally cleaned the classroom at noon, checked it again, and then went to the teacher's office to report.
Teacher Wang, who rarely smiled in front of the students, took his small bamboo shoots, looked at the classroom with a bright window behind his back, nodded with satisfaction, and gave Li Jiaming a rare smile.
"Classmate Jiaming, I know about your encouragement of classmate Li Jinju today. You're doing a great job and you're going to keep it up later, you know?"
Listening to Mr. Wang's slightly rural Mandarin, Li Jiaming, who was psychologically mature, hurriedly replied in Mandarin with a strong accent: "Got it." ”
"Well, let's go home"
"Hey", Li Jiaming hurriedly carried his schoolbag and ran to the Mao Tong who was waiting at the school gate. Looking at Li Jiaming's thin back, Mr. Wang showed a relieved smile, although this kid has a good talent, he is too naughty and mischievous, and now he is finally starting to be sensible.
