"Dad, I want to read a book."

Liu Jun glanced at Liu Jincai and said tentatively.

The so-called book is a comic book, and in some places it is also called a villain book. For a period of time, it is the main extracurricular reading material for children. But in 1976, that was undoubtedly a bit excessive. At that time, there were very few publications, most of them were "Selected Works", the small book was "Quotations" (commonly known as the Red Book), and others, including Marx's "Capital" and Mr. Lu Xun's works, were not often seen.

Liu Jincai didn't expect him to make such a request, and was stunned for a moment.

Liu Jun didn't allow him to think, and immediately continued: "I heard that Mr. Zhou has a book at home, I want to read it!" ”

Liu Jincai smiled and said gently: "Mr. Zhou has books at home, but they are not books, you can't understand them." ”

In fact, Liu Jun didn't expect to find a book he liked to read from Mr. Zhou, it was just an excuse for Liu Jin to come to visit this crazy Zhou who was about to come to work.

"No, I'm just going to read books, I'm going to read them......"

As a last resort, Yoo Jun began to use the privilege of a seven-year-old kid - coquettish! It's just goosebumps all over my body while being coquettish. In order not to miss the opportunity, I can't say it, so I have to go back to the flesh.

In order to increase the strength of coquettishness, Liu Jun even grabbed Liu Jincai's hand and shook it from side to side.

Sweat!

It seems that he really has a talent for acting!

Liu Jincai had no choice but to surrender: "Okay, well, go and see ......"

Because he decided to go to see Mr. Zhou, Liu Jincai also spent more than a dollar and asked his brother-in-law Ruan Chenglin to go to the cooperative to buy two packets of sugar - four orange cakes and a pound of biscuits. I also asked my grandmother to take out the inventory at the bottom of the pressure box - pickled rice noodles and meat, and also wrapped a package, plus a pound of noodles, which is considered a four-color entrance gift.

This was already a very valuable gift in the countryside at that time. provoked Liu Ye to roll his eyes at Liu Jun. You must know that these good things are rare to eat a few times yourself, and for Liu Jun's inexplicable sentence of "reading books", they all have to become the things of Chengren's family.

Fortunately, Liu Jin is a well-known filial son, and he can be filial to his grandparents. My grandfather was very supportive.

"Mr. Zhou is a person with a university question, and Jincai is also a scholar, so he should go and walk around."

Liu Jin only graduated from the middle school, and he was definitely an intellectual at that time. My grandfather didn't read much, but he was very interested in readers.

Because she was going to the movies, my grandmother made an exception and made dinner in advance. After eating, Liu Jincai took Ruan Chenglin and Liu Jun, sisters and brothers, and Shi Shiran went to Matang Bay. My grandparents are old and can't understand the Mandarin in the movie, but they don't want to join in the fun.

……

Matang Bay is only a few miles away from Liujia Mountain, and the family talked and laughed, and soon arrived. In rural areas, open-air movies are usually held in the camp of the brigade primary school or in the larger sun-drying area. At this time, it was still early and the sun had not yet set, so Liu Jin ordered Ruan Chenglin to find the secretary of the brigade and send someone to hang the screen in the field. It is not easy for a brigade to take the turn to release a movie, and the branch secretary and the captain are unreservedly supportive, and let whoever is sent be sent. Ruan Chenglin is also a seventeen or eighteen-year-old junior, and he is naturally very happy to get such an opportunity to show off.

He didn't want to see Zhou Luzi.

Liu Ye Liu Yan was also reluctant to see Mr. Zhou, so she followed her uncle to the branch secretary's house.

Strictly speaking, Mr. Zhou is an outsider. Before liberation, his mother took him to escape the famine and came to Matang Bay, married a local farmer surnamed Zhou, and he changed his surname to Zhou and settled down in Matang Bay. In the early 50s, he was admitted to Renmin University, and successfully got out of the peasant family and became a city man. Listening to the older generation, Mr. Zhou was extremely beautiful. It's just that in the east of the river for thirty years and in the west of the river, feng shui has taken turns, but I didn't expect the Great Revolution to bring Mr. Zhou back to its original shape all of a sudden.

At that time, there were hardly any decent houses in the countryside. Mr. Zhou's house is particularly dilapidated, with three adobe houses, leaking rain and wind everywhere. After Mr. Zhou was assigned a job in the provincial capital, he took his widowed mother to settle in the city, and did not repair the old house in his hometown.

"Is Mr. Zhou at home?"

Although the wooden door of the Zhou family was only hidden, Liu Jincai still knocked on the door very politely.

"Which one?"

A tired female voice came from the room, presumably Mr. Zhou's wife.

"I'm Liu Jincai from Liujiashan, and I'm here to visit Mr. Zhou."

Liu Jincai spoke very politely, and even used the word "visit". At that time, rural people rarely spoke in such a literate manner. But since you come to visit the great intellectuals, you can't seem to be too unlevel.

With a "squeak", the wooden door opened, and a gray-haired woman appeared inside the door with a smile on her face.

"It turned out to be Mr. Liu, what a rare guest, please come in ......"

Liu Jincai didn't feel a little proud. The best thing in his life is to save face. Although Mr. Zhou has lost his position now, Mrs. Zhou has seen the world after following her husband, and this attitude makes Liu Jincai very useful.

"Please take a seat...... Ah...... Mr. Liu, you are too polite, folks, what else do you bring with you when you go to the door? Guy, guy, come out, Teacher Liu is here......"

"What's all the fuss about?"

With this dull voice, Mr. Zhou came out of the room slowly, wearing black-rimmed glasses, gray hair, and a scruffy beard, but his face was full of pride. Of course, not arrogance, but the arrogance of the kind of reader.

"Mr. Zhou......"

Liu Jincai hurriedly got up and greeted him very respectfully.

In his bones, Liu Jincai also has the arrogance of a scholar, but he is very respectful of people who are more knowledgeable than himself.

"It's Jincai, please sit down."

Mr. Zhou is still lukewarm, but it can be seen that he does not hate the uninvited guests of the Liu family. He is still a reactionary academic authority who has not taken off his hat, so who can come to the door in peacetime?

"Mr. Zhou, this is my child, come, call Uncle Zhou."

Liu Jun was generous, called "Uncle Zhou" crisply, and bowed.

"Hey, this kid is so good, what's his name? How old is this year? ”

Before Mr. Zhou could open his mouth, Aunt Zhou praised him one after another. For some reason, Mr. Zhou and his family have never had children. Aunt Zhou is especially fond of children.

Liu Jun bowed again and replied in a proper manner: "Auntie, my name is Liu Jun, and I am seven years old this year. ”

This time, not only did my father smile from ear to ear, but Aunt Zhou was surprised, and even Mr. Zhou showed a rare smile.

"Oh, Yoo Joon. Okay, come, tell Uncle, are you in school? ”

"Up. I am in the first grade at Liujiashan Elementary School. ”

"Oh, it's first grade. Do you recognize a few words? Does it count? ”

Liu Jun smiled slightly and replied calmly: "I learned new words and arithmetic." ”

"Oh, how are you doing?"

Dizzy! Why do those scholars have this surname? Think about the 21st century, when a friend's child comes to the door for the first time, then you have to hurry up and give a red envelope? How can there be a Mr. Zhou like this, there is no candy and no red envelopes, and the light will take the exam? Depressed!

"What is one plus three?"

Depend on! Dizzy, it's really a village official who is not a cadre, and a bean bag that is not a dry food. Even if you are a first-grade elementary school student, please don't treat people as the kind of elm pimple that doesn't open your mind.

Although Liu Jun slandered in his stomach, there was no loss of respect on his face, and he replied honestly: "It's equal to four." ”

Next, Mr. Zhou asked a few more questions, and Liu Jun naturally answered them fluently.

However, Liu Jincai was a little dissatisfied, and reminded with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, Xiaojun can calculate the addition and subtraction of integers within 10,000. I can also recite Tang poems. ”

"Oh?"

Mr. Zhou became more and more interested, and asked with a smile: "Xiaojun, what Tang poems do you memorize?" Recite one to your uncle. ”

It's all neat. Liu Jun's original intention was to get closer to his father and Mr. Zhou, who knew that Mr. Zhou would grab him and ask him endlessly. It seems that Mr. Zhou is also the kind of nerd who is not good at interacting with people.

Luoxia and lonely birds fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky.

Liu Jun almost recited Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" to them. I thought about it and held back. If you want to show off like this, then you are not a prodigy but a monster. Beware of being caught in the research institute and disemboweled!

"Bai said that the mountains are at the end, the Yellow River flows into the sea, and I want to be poor for thousands of miles, and go to the next level."

Mr. Zhou just returned it, but Liu Jincai was shocked: "Xiaojun, you...... When did you learn this poem? ”

Hehe, Liu Jun expected this question, and replied unhurriedly at the moment: "Dad, you taught it." You've memorized this poem to me before. ”

"Have I carried it...... Do you remember it if I recite it once? ”

Liu Jincai's face was shocked.

Liu Jun smiled: "You have memorized it several times." It's not hard to remember. ”

"Hehe, don't forget, Jin Cai, Ling Lang is really a genius!"

Mr. Zhou was amazed.

Liu Jincai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed as well. After all, he wouldn't think of "rebirth" because of a Tang poem. Besides, he doesn't know what "rebirth" is.

"Don't hide it from Mr. Zhou, it's Xiaojun who wants to come to you to read the book today......"

Faint!

Dad, you are really an honest person, how can you be so straightforward? Oh, because my son wants to read a book, so I came to visit. Assuming that your son doesn't read books, he naturally doesn't need to pay attention to your crazy son. Isn't this deliberately uncomfortable?

Who knew that Mr. Zhou was also a living treasure, so he didn't think it was wrong, and said with a smile: "In this way, I'm afraid it will disappoint Xiaojun." I don't have a comic book here. ”

Liu Jun hurriedly said: "There are no comic books, and other books are fine." ”

That's true. In the next few years, I will have to face the "word book", which is really difficult. It's better to find some books to read from Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou looked at him strangely and stood up.

"Okay, Xiaojun, you come with me.";
