Liu Ye felt that he was very happy living with his grandparents. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Grandma is a person who is good at socializing, she can always conjure up rare meat tickets, egg tickets, cloth tickets, etc. in that era of material scarcity. Grandma would also quietly do some small business. Every time she goes to Z City, before leaving, she has to go to the vegetable market to buy some large pieces of lard. Z City belongs to the north, where the water and soil are relatively fat, so when people buy pork, most of them like lean meat, and they are always afraid of the milk-colored fat. The shrewd grandmother saw a business opportunity. Because they live in a small town in the south, where there is little water, whether rich or not, lard is indispensable. For if there is no lard for a few days, the people there will be so little that their mouths will be watery. At the vegetable market, my grandmother bought back pieces of lard that were the size of a cutting board, and then carefully refined them into water and oil in the kitchen. In this way, forty or fifty catties of white and shiny lard were happily packed in a large colorless and transparent plastic bucket, and they went with them to the place where the heroes were used. By this time, the townsfolk had already counted their fingers and craned their necks, looking forward to the time when they would arrive.

After returning, the neighbors will come to the house in a hurry with porcelain basins, plastic buckets, enamel jars, etc., with anxiety and smiles on their faces, hoping to get what they are looking forward to. Those who come late will be annoyed that the lard has been divided. They are usually good-tempered, and at this time they even blamed their grandmother fiercely, "Old Sister Xie, why don't you bring more of such a pretty (good) lard?" ”

While pulling a stool for them to sit down, my grandmother explained good-naturedly: "You see, I am an old woman with a child, how strong I can be!" Grandma packed the ticket and said, "Next time I go, I must book it for you first!" These people lost their breath and left.

After the neighbors left, there were only three people left in the house: grandfather, grandmother and Liu Ye. Grandma was busy packing up the scales, baskets, plastic buckets, etc. Grandpa counted the money on the side: "Hey, I've been busy for a while, and I've only earned fifteen yuan!" ”

When my grandmother heard my grandfather's nagging, she suddenly became angry: "You old immortal, you don't have to work hard, and the fifteen yuan is worth most of your monthly salary." Besides, we have our own oil to eat. ”

"I'm just casually talking, what are you doing with such a big fire?!" Grandpa pretended to be angry and threw the money on the offering table, "Don't raise the bar with you, I'm going to work!" ”

Liu Ye watched his grandfather's aging and sluggish figure disappear into the checkered wooden window before he withdrew his gaze.

At this time, my grandmother walked up to Liu Ye, who was sitting on a chair reading a villain's book, and touched her head lovingly: "Ye Mao, we are not just to make money, but also to do something good for the neighbors!" Although it is a little more money per catty, it is much cheaper than our local lard! Grandma seemed to say to Liu Ye, and it seemed to be talking to herself.

Liu Ye raised his head and looked at his grandmother, nodding as if he didn't understand.

It was a September day not long after the beginning of autumn, and although the weather was cooler than the hot summer, the heat was still there. Liu Ye carried a yellow military satchel on his back and walked listlessly on the dirt road to school, on the left side of this road is the big river that maintains the normal life of the people in the town, because it has not rained for more than half a month, the river has become very shallow, and most of the huge stones at the bottom of the river are exposed on the water. The pebbles that cover the riverbed are clearly visible in the crystal clear water. Some of the stones were the shape of a pear, some were the size of an egg, some were like round grapes, and some were as small as pearls. A gust of wind passed, bringing the coolness of the river water, Liu Ye, who was sweating slightly, couldn't help but go down to the river from the steps of the river embankment, she stood on a big stone and put one foot into the water first, and a refreshing coolness flowed down the center of her feet to the top of her head, and the sweat on her head seemed to be wiped away by a pair of invisible hands. I simply took off my sandals, got into the small waterhole with both feet, and walked around. The smooth pebbles rubbed against the soles of her feet, and there was a tickling pleasure. She jumped from one boulder to another, and saw the river flow out of the gap between the two stones, forming a white stream, meandering into the distance, and could not help but pluck the strings of reverie in her heart. Perhaps it was the inertia of laziness during the summer vacation, and she really wanted to spend this lazy afternoon in this clear spring under the shade of the willows by the river. She suddenly thought of her two younger brothers. The summer vacation is over, and I am separated from my two younger brothers, and sometimes I really miss them! Liu Ye thought that because of her grandmother's shrewdness, her life with her grandfather and grandmother was relatively more nourishing than that of her parents, parents and younger brothers, and she could always eat meat dishes such as chicken, fish, and meat at the dinner table every once in a while. The frugal mother, on the other hand, always spoils the appetite of her younger brothers with cheap radishes and cabbage. Mother often said that Liu Yong and Liu Ye were more blessed than their two younger brothers, so they favored their younger brothers intentionally or unintentionally. The mother favored her younger brothers, but they always let them eat so simply, even lacking nutrients. She suddenly felt sympathy for her two younger brothers. "It would be nice if they could live with my grandfather and grandmother like me!" Liu Ye saw the brand-new set of clothes on his body in the reflection in the water, and couldn't help but think of the faded and old clothes on his two younger brothers in his mind. She was sad for a while, and couldn't help but think with emotion, how happy she was!

Every time the festival comes, she will run to the nearby quilt club to urge her uncle and aunt to hurry up and make clothes for her. When the flower cloth that her grandmother bought for her was turned into beautiful and fashionable clothes under the skillful hands of her uncle and aunt, her heart was like eating honey, in her eyes, life is spring flowers, summer breeze, autumn fruits, and winter sun. This beautiful experience nourishes her immature childhood on time almost every year on May Day, June 1st, 11th, Spring Festival and other days......

"Ah Ye, go to school? It's time for class! When Xiao Wenzi, who was at the same table, passed by here and saw Liu Ye, he opened his voice and called out to her.

Xiao Wenzi, with short ear-length hair like a teapot lid, and the bangs on her forehead are a finger's width from her eyebrows, and they are short in the middle and long on both sides (this must have been cut by her father), this hairstyle makes her originally white and good-looking face look a little funny. She is about the same size as Liu Ye, but her personality is like a boy. She carried a blue cloth schoolbag on her back and ran forward in a hurry, shouting Liu Ye as she ran.

Liu Ye woke up from his contemplation, quickly put on his sandals, and hurried towards Xiao Wenzi.

They finally sat down in their seats before the last bell rang for the floor.

In the afternoon, there were two Chinese classes, Liu Ye impatiently took out the language books from her schoolbag, and saw the kraft paper cover carefully packed by her grandfather, and she felt a little pressured in her heart.

"I don't know when I started to skip classes secretly, and I'm really afraid of troublesome arithmetic problems and difficult essays. I'm more afraid of the teacher's punishment. Sitting in the classroom has a feeling of being tied up, and time moves slowly like a donkey...... My grandfather and grandmother won't understand these feelings! ”

In the first Chinese class, she sat on the seat like a pins and needles, counting 1, 2, and 3 in her heart...... I've heard that counting to sixty is a minute. She just took the trouble to count, listening to the chirping of birds outside the window, looking forward to the end of class, looking forward to the end of school, and looking forward to playing childhood.

In the second Chinese class, she actually took a nap, her slender eyes opened and closed, the high bridge of her nose was like a straight jade pillar, and her two curved willow eyebrows were wrinkled into small peaks, which made her fair and delicate melon seed face reveal extreme tiredness. Her head slid little by little, and on several occasions made her sit unsteadily, almost leaning on her stomach on the table. Her thick black hair was combed into two and a half braids by her grandmother, and then she was pulled up and wrapped in a green ribbon and wrapped symmetrically around the back of her head. The bangs on the forehead are neatly covered on the eyebrows, and between the bangs and the braid is a clear horizontal line that faintly exposes the scalp. Her hairstyle was carefully combed by her grandmother according to the child's hairstyle in the New Year's painting. Every day, her grandmother, who loves life, always dresses her up brightly. Her outfits always set the new fashion trends for children.

You see that at this time, the Chinese teacher is staring at her intently, angry at her napping, and at the same time can't help admiring her dress. She wore a neckless pullover shirt with green trim on her upper body. The shirt is hand-sewn by my grandmother, and the placket is inlaid with two symmetrical vertical strips of green poplin on both sides, near the neckline of the chest, evenly inlaid with three horizontal and short strips of green poplin, and the lower right corner of the shirt is an apple-shaped pocket, and the pocket is made of the whole green poplin cloth. The two cuffs are also inlaid with strips of poplin made of the same material. The Chinese teacher praised the style of this dress in her heart, which is more novel and fashionable than the finished children's clothes sold by the supply and marketing cooperative. Looking at the color of her pleated skirt is the same as the color of her head flower and the trim on her shirt, this combination has an artistic aesthetic meaning. Just when the pockmarked face Chinese teacher looked at her, her head actually hit the table, which really defied the authority of the Chinese teacher, and he picked up half of the chalk and threw it at Liu Ye's face in a fit of anger as if he had suddenly been whipped by someone. Liu Ye's eyes widened in horror, and the majestic gaze of the Chinese teacher against the backdrop of his pitted pockmarked face was like a sharp sword shining with cold light, which made her bow her head timidly.

Look at Xiao Wenzi next to him, who is folding his arms on the table with his arms crossed, sitting up straight, with two big round eyes with long eyelashes, staring at the teacher in a flickering manner, showing the performance of a good student.

"Liu Ye, stand up!" The Chinese teacher shouted majestically.

Liu Ye stood up slowly, his heart beating fast, and his face flushed. She waited anxiously for the teacher to deal with it. "Are you going to be penalized again?" She thought flusteredly.

The teacher holds a white cotton pole more than a foot long in his hand, which is used as a whip.

"Liu Ye, you read the words on the blackboard." The teacher said in the local dialect, "If you read prettyly (good), you won't be punished today." ”

Liu Ye read in the local dialect (the teacher also taught in the local dialect) on the blackboard with white chalk neatly written playing card-sized words: country, nation, construction, diligence...... When she read "The Quintessence of the Nation", she hesitated, and the teacher shouted majestically, "Fight (read), don't fight (read)!" ”

"Quintessence of the country", a loud voice soared out of the air, and Liu Ye shouted loudly like grasping a life-saving straw, "Quintessence of the country!" ”

"Wang Liang, I didn't let you say it, what can you do! Come on, come on, stand here! ”

"Press your belly!" A male student in the back row with a "pumpkin face" shouted loudly, causing a lot of noise in the class.

"What, what, what do you say! Say it again! The teacher was in a hurry, his black-red face was tense like a curved bow, and the pockmarks on his face were like arrows waiting to be shot.

Liu Ye looked up at Wang Liang standing by the wall in shame, but he didn't care about the pair of big eyes with deep eyelids, looking around stupidly...... What's more, Wang Liang ran over at the end of class and threw a brand-new eraser with a mint scent onto her seat. Liu Ye picked it up and saw that the eraser was milky white, about four centimeters long and three centimeters wide, with a shot of a cute little white rabbit running on the grass, and two bright little red flowers dotted among the lush green grass. This kind of eraser is a relatively expensive one, and Liu Ye is reluctant to buy it. Although every time she went to the cooperative, she had to ask the waitress aunt to show her, and then she put it on the tip of her nose through the wrapping film and greedily breathed in its fragrant scent. But now the eraser was in her hand like a terrible snake, and she threw it into the garbage basket in panic as if she were afraid of being bitten by it. Of course, when she walked to the garbage basket at the front of the classroom to throw erasers after school, she looked back and saw that Wang Liang was lying on the desk and bowing his head to do arithmetic problems, and he didn't know what she was thinking and doing.
