Chapter 7: The Daredevil
Childhood time always flies too fast, unconsciously He Xiaoming read the sixth grade of primary school, Xiao Ming's sixth grade homeroom teacher is a male teacher surnamed Chen, in his forties, because of his surname Chen, so people in the school call him Mr. Chen. Mr. Chan taught Chinese and used to be the principal of the school, but because his quality was too low and he was a daredevil, he was dismissed, and the Education Bureau put Director Ma, who taught mathematics, on top.
He Xiaoming remembered that one day when Mr. Chen came to class, the crotch of his pants was not zipped, and as soon as he stood on the podium, he began to speak with a high spirit, and He Xiaoming laughed when he saw Mr. Chen's open crotch pants. When Teacher Chen saw He Xiaoming rebelling, since he dared to laugh in his class, he slapped He Xiaoming twice and said sternly: "What are you laughing at during class?" Do you want to drop out? He Xiaoming couldn't laugh at this time, his temples were red, after Teacher Chen walked away, He Xiaoming laughed again, Teacher Chen turned around and glared at He Xiaoming at this time, He Xiaoming held back his laughter, and Li Xiaopang next to him hurriedly asked: "Xiaoming, what's so funny?" He Xiaoming said with a smile: "There is no zipper under Mr. Chen." Li Xiaopang laughed when he saw it, and his classmates also laughed. Mr. Chen was furious and immediately slapped the blackboard and shouted, "Do you want to rebel?" No discipline at all! The kind-hearted female class leader stood up and said, "Report to the teacher, you don't have a zipper underneath." "Mr. Chen sees that something is wrong! His face was flushed, and he immediately ran away from the classroom, He Xiaoming laughed so much that people turned their backs, and the classroom suddenly boiled a pot.
He Xiaoming was in the sixth grade, especially like to read short novels, once in the principal's mathematics self-study class, He Xiaoming read novels and was fascinated, Principal Ma came to the side and did not find it, Principal Ma took He Xiaoming's novels with one hand, and said angrily: "Since you read extracurricular books in my class, and it is still a novel, you are really a little ghost." He Xiaoming was taken aback and begged, "Principal, I know it's wrong, give me back the book." The principal ignored He Xiaoming, took the book and looked at it with relish on the stool on the podium, and a few days later, the principal returned it to He Xiaoming, and said to He Xiaoming while returning the book: "In the future, I can't read other books in my class, otherwise you don't want to take it back." He Xiaoming packed the ticket and said: "Rest assured, the principal, there will be no next time." From then on, He Xiaoming began to study mathematics seriously, and neglected Chinese, of course, his language scores also snubbed him, and He Xiaoming's exams became worse and worse every time.
Seeing that the college entrance examination was getting closer and closer, Mrs. Ming ordered her son to go home after school to review his homework', and He Xiaoming's spare time activities were almost zero, so he was like a prison all day long, locked in the classroom during the day and at home at night. On the weekend, He Xiaoming kept complaining to He Tianci: "Dad, save me, I don't have any freedom in life now, I'm about to die." He Tianci saw that his son was very pitiful, and said to his wife: "You don't have to be so strict with your son, you see how hard he works at a young age." Mrs. Ming said solemnly: "Didn't the sage say, 'If you have to suffer hardship, you will become a master', you can't bear this hardship, how can you go to the battlefield of the college entrance examination in the future?" He Xiaoming retorted: "Mom, since you said, 'If you eat hard, you will become a master', then why don't you eat coarse tea and light rice all day long and wear patched clothes?" When Mrs. Ming saw her son talking to her like this, she immediately scolded and said, "You unfilial son, you don't want your mother to live a happy life?" He Xiaoming said helplessly: "Didn't you say it?" 'Only when you suffer hardship can you become a superior person'. Mrs. Ming said: "Although I am not a person among people now, but when I was young, I suffered more than your father, and we used to be very happy when we had books to read, and many people wanted to read but did not have the opportunity to read!" Don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know blessings. He Tianci said: "Okay, and said what did we do before, we should fill our stomachs first and go cook." While Mrs. Ming was leaving, He Tianci said to his son, "Come here, I'll play a game of boxing with you." He Xiaoming had already had itchy hands, and immediately chose a muscular warrior, He Tianci chose a little boy, you punch me and kick me, the two sides fought hard, but they couldn't beat thirty rounds, He Xiaoming made a trick, and he "hanged" his father's little boy with one punch.
Chinese families are generally 'either a loving mother and a strict father, or a loving father and strict mother', and of course there are machismo and tigresses (such children are miserable). He Xiaoming's family is a loving father and strict mother, so no matter how He Xiaoming begs Mrs. Ming to give him a little more time to play, He Tianci is also "love can't help". Time flies quickly, the final exam arrives, He Xiaoming did well in the exam, after the exam, the school began to have winter vacation, He Xiaoming is finally free, after playing for more than ten days, it will soon be the Spring Festival. In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, He Tianci's family gathered around the TV to watch the 1990 Spring Festival Gala sketch "Superborn Guerrilla". Song Dandan said: "These days are really getting poorer and poorer, and the poorer and poorer they are, and it is not good to name a child." Huang Hong: "Why can't I get up?" Song Dandan said: "You just say the big girl, a girl, what is called 'Zhen', 'Ling', 'Feng', and it is also pleasing to the ear." It's good for you, hold back for three days, your face is flushed, and you come up with a name called 'Hainan Island', this is a personal name? Huang Hong said: "Wasn't that born when I was a migrant worker on Hainan Island?" Song Dandan: "What about the eldest and the inexperienced second?" You name it 'Turpan.'" Huang Hong: "Wasn't that born when I was pounding raisins in Xinjiang, it has commemorative significance, you know?" Song Dandan: "The third child is better, let's call 'Shaolin Temple', a girl called "Shaolin Temple" grows up to be called? Huang Hong: "The name is a memory, then I call the dog Shengzi, who the am I looking for!" Isn't it? Song Dandan: "You can compare with others, people can afford to be born and punished, can you do it?" When Mrs. Ming heard this, she immediately burst into tears and said: "I think that when my sister married into the countryside and gave birth to a few, she was punished for being bankrupt, and her life was really hard. He Tianci said: "It's good to have money and fines, but some farmers who don't have money are even pulled by pigs and cattle, and even the bed where the husband and wife sleep is pulled away by family planning, and the couple has to hide in Tibet, which is really unbearable." Mrs. Ming said: "The Chinese are so bitter that they don't even have basic reproductive rights, is this fair?" He Tianci said: "This world is inherently unfair, the weak eat the strong, otherwise the Chinese nation will not suffer from the vicissitudes of a century!" China implements family planning because there are too many people and too little land, and if the Chinese in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China did not cede so much land to others, China would not have achieved family planning. Mrs. Ming said: "I once went to the countryside and saw such a slogan: 'One person is sterilized, the whole family is glorious'!" I don't know which one of the uneducated wrote it. He Tianci smiled and said: "Just like the slogan in the city, 'one baby for a couple, for the benefit of the country and the people', after a few decades, it will become 'two children are not too many, three children are just right, three children are four children, five or six children, one child and one child after another!'" ’。
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, before dawn, Mrs. Ming called her son up and said, "Let's go to the ancestral temple." He Xiaoming reluctantly got up, and wanted to sleep more, when Mrs. Ming took out a big red envelope for him, He Xiaoming immediately came to the spirit, and quickly got up and said to Mrs. Ming: "Wishing you prosperity, Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope." Mrs. Ming pointed to her son's head and said with a smile: "You shrewd ghost, you are willing to get up when you see the red envelope." He Xiaoming said: "Haven't you heard of 'seeing money'? Of course, I saw that the money was up. "Mrs. Ming sighed when she saw her son at a young age! After dressing his son in new clothes, the family of three arrived at the ancestral temple, and He Xiaoming said, "Wishing you prosperity." Good uncles and uncles". He Xiaoming's uncle and uncle kept stuffing him with red envelopes. He Xiaoming was full of joy and thought: "It's so easy for children to make money on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and they can buy a lot of toys this year. After He Xiaoming worshiped the ancestral temple, the sky was already dawn, and after breakfast, He Xiaoming went to his cousin and uncle's house for a walk, and when he came back, the red envelope in his pocket was already full, so he bought a machine gun on the road. Seeing that there was still so much money in his pocket, He Xiaoming was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and after lunch, He Tianci's family of three went shopping in the flower street again.
New Year's shopping flower street is the custom of Guangzhou people, He Xiaoming took his parents' hand to Sanyuanli flower street, only to see that there is very lively, crowded, both sides of the street are full of all kinds of flowers, there are rich bamboo, orchids, peach blossoms, fortune trees and so on. He Xiaoming bought a plate of rich bamboo, Mrs. Ming bought a plate of orchids, He Tianci bought a plate of kumquats, a plate of fortune trees and a few peach blossoms. Mrs. Ming smiled and said to He Tianci: "Do you want to buy peach blossoms to take peach blossom luck?" He Tianci said embarrassedly: "If you buy peach blossoms, you will go to peach blossom luck, then I don't want to get rich when I buy a fortune tree!" Don't be so cautious. He Xiaoming said: "Then I will buy Fugui bamboo, and I won't have to write homework all day in the future, and my studies will definitely improve!" The family of three talked and laughed, and after a while, they returned with a full load.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, He Xiaoming went to visit his grandmother and relatives. As soon as he saw his grandmother, He Xiaoming shouted: "Grandma." Grandma was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, hugged He Xiaoming and said, "My heart and liver." The cousins and cousins next to him all shouted: "He Xiaoming, are you here?" He Xiaoming saw that his cousins and cousins were very happy, and his cousins and cousins asked He Xiaoming to go up the mountain to catch birds, and after obtaining the consent of his grandmother and Mrs. Ming, He Xiaoming and his cousins came to the back mountain, only to see a big pheasant parked on a small tree mountain, bending the small tree, He Xiaoming lightly touched the side of the small tree, but he did not expect the pheasant to fly away immediately. He Xiaoming and his cousins regretted it. After playing for a long time, he started to have dinner, and after dinner, He Xiaoming was going back. The cousins and cousins were very reluctant to He Xiaoming, and they all grabbed He Xiaoming's hands and clothes to prevent him from leaving. Grandma comforted them and said, "You will go to Xiao Ming's house in two days, and you can meet again then." Mrs. Ming also said: "Don't worry, Xiao Ming will come to play when he is free." The cousins and cousins finally reluctantly let go, and He Xiaoming said to the cousins: "You must come in two days, otherwise I will ignore you." The cousins nodded desperately and kept saying, "I'll come."
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, my cousins and cousins finally came to see Xiao Ming, and when they arrived at Xiao Ming's house, they all asked, "Where did Xiao Ming go?" Mrs. Ming said, "It's in the room." Xiao Ming's aunt said, "What is Xiao Ming doing in the room?" Mrs. Ming said, "Read the book." My aunt smiled and said, "Xiao Ming works so hard, he will definitely be able to take the exam in the future." Mrs. Ming said: "What champion is not the champion, just be able to take the test to explore the flowers, none of the champions have a big career, what's the use of taking the champions?" My aunt said, "Yes! Anyway, it's not ancient anymore, and in ancient times, you could become a big official if you took the top exam. He Xiaoming's cousins and cousins came to He Xiaoming's room and swarmed in, all of them shouting: "Brother Ming, Brother Ming, we have come to see you." When He Xiaoming saw his cousins and cousins, he immediately threw the book aside and asked, "When did you come?" Did you bring any fun toys over? What's been the latest game to enjoy? The cousin chattered.
After Mrs. Ming finished cooking, she immediately called He Xiaoming and his cousins and cousins out to eat. Everyone rushed to the table, sat down and said, "I'm going to eat this, I'm going to eat that......." He Xiaoming was eating fragrantly, and his cousin, who was highly myopic, knew that Xiao Ming liked to eat chicken heads, so he said to He Xiaoming while picking up a chicken butt: "Brother Ming, I heard that you like to eat chicken heads, and this chicken head is for you." After speaking, the chicken butt has been put into He Xiaoming's bowl. When He Xiaoming saw the chicken buttocks, he pouted and said, "I don't eat it." Mrs. Ming saw that her son was so ignorant, and since her cousin gave him vegetables and he didn't eat them, she immediately scolded He Xiaoming and said, "Didn't I tell you, children can't be picky eaters?" He Xiaoming shouted: "This is a chicken butt, not a chicken head." The relatives all laughed, and He Tianci immediately put the chicken butt in Xiao Ming's bowl into his own bowl and said, "Dad likes to eat chicken butts, come, come, dad eat." He Tianci frowned and swallowed the chicken butt, He Xiaoming's cousin's face was flushed, and Mrs. Ming comforted her and said, "It's okay, there is no holiday between cousins and cousins."
After eating, He Xiaoming, his cousins, and cousins gathered in front of the TV series to watch Journey to the West's "Red Child", "Tang Sanzang was caught by Red Child, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie went to Huoyun Cave to save the master, a group of little demons pushed a small wooden cart and rushed out, followed by a demon king of the mixed world 'Red Child', Red Boy used three flavors of real fire, and defeated Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie in three or two strokes, Sun Wukong was blinded by Red Child, and Zhu Bajie almost became a roast pig." The cousins and cousins applauded and said, "The red boy is amazing." He Xiaoming shouted: "Don't you like Sun Wukong? Why did Sun Wukong applaud Red Boy for defeating you? The cousin said: "Sun Wukong looks down on children and is defeated by children, of course we have to applaud." Cousins and cousins should all say in harmony, "Yes! Oh, yes! Those who bully children do not end well. He Xiaoming smiled and said, "Is this Sun Wukong bullying children?" It's a child bullying Sun Wukong. The cousin and cousin made a grimace at He Xiaoming, and watched TV obsessively.
