Mei Qianjing grew up in the expectation and love of the whole family, and the carefree time of childhood always flies, and in a blink of an eye, Xiao Qianjing is almost 8 years old, and his parents decided to send him to the village school. At that time, there was no kindergarten in the countryside, and children could go to the first half of the grade when they were 7 or 8 years old (equivalent to today's preschool).

Father and mother took him by the hand and came to the school, there were already more than a dozen people lined up at the door, all of them were school-age children in the village, the school teachers had not yet come, the adults were standing at the door chatting, they all lived in the same village, they were all familiar with each other, the children were lively and active, they were all chasing and playing in the yard. When the others saw their family coming, they all greeted each other with a smile, and Mei Qianjing couldn't help it when she saw those children playing outside, and pulled her father's hand: "Dad." His father turned his head and looked at him and said, "Go, don't run far, the gentleman will come in a while", he immediately ran to the front with cheers, and the children in the yard ran to him with cheers when they saw Qianjing running over, and a group of children laughed and played together.

The women were standing and gossiping, and the men were squatting under the walls and smoking cigarettes. When the sun rose, it was estimated that it was more than nine o'clock, and I saw the door of a room on the side creak open, and a man in his 40s came out of it, because he worked in the fields all the year round, so he looked older than he actually was, dark skin, wearing a blue cloth dress, stepping on the bottom of a thousand layers on his feet, only a pair of eyes were very bright, a square face and tightly pursed lips made him look quite serious, it was Principal Li of this rural primary school, said to be the principal, in fact, there were two teachers in the entire primary school, One teaches Chinese and the other teaches mathematics. The whole school has three rooms, one class from the sixth grade to the second grade, one class from the third grade to the fifth grade, the sixth grade goes to the town to study, and the other is the teachers' office, because there are no 20 children in the village in total.

"Second uncle, you're out" "Uncle Li"... When the adults saw the principal coming out, they all gathered around to say hello.

"It's all here, call the babies in, you know it! Those who can read arithmetic from 1 to 100 can enter the school. Principal Li said with a smile.

"I know" "Then I'll call my baby" The women turned their heads and went out to call the children, and after a while they all led their children to the classroom.

"Come on, come on, all line up and come to me one by one, just read the math from one to one hundred." The children immediately lined up obediently and went to the exam one by one under the leadership of their parents, and a total of about a dozen children finished the exam in a short time.

"Good! All good dolls! Ming'er will come to the school tomorrow, and the books will be received tomorrow, and when Ming'er comes, remember to take five yuan per person for tuition and books. The headmaster paused as he spoke, "Also, go to the commissary and buy some pencils and erasers." Well! If there's nothing to do, let's go back, just remember to come early tomorrow. "As soon as the adults heard that everything was fine, they said goodbye to the principal, and it was almost noon when they went home to cook, and they had to go down to the field in the afternoon after a nap!

"Mother, give me money, I'm going to buy pencils." As soon as Xiao Qianjing walked outside, he was anxious to go to the commissary.

"Let's go back to eat first, and then we'll talk about it after noon, grandma should be ready to cook now." As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Qianjing and walked home.

After going home and eating, Xiao Qianjing lay on the kang and couldn't fall asleep over and over, which finally lasted until the afternoon, and couldn't wait to ask his mother for a dime, so he hurriedly ran to the only store in the village, spent five cents to buy a pencil, two cents an eraser, two cents a knife, and the remaining penny also greedily bought an ice pack, and didn't have the heart to go to the children in the village to play, so he hurried home, and after returning home, his father and grandfather went to work in the field, Grandma sat on the kang and held some bits and pieces of cloth, as if she was sewing something.

"Grandma, what are you sewing?" Xiao Qianjing asked curiously.

"Aren't you going to study tomorrow, there are some rags left over from making things in the past, and grandma is thinking about sewing you a pocket for books."

"Is it for me? Oh... I've got a school bag..."Little Prospect jumped up and down on the ground excitedly.

"This baby was shocked." Xiao Qianjing didn't do anything now, so he sat in front of his grandmother and waited for his little schoolbag, and saw that his grandmother folded those fragments of cloth into small triangles, red, blue, and pink, and sewed the colored triangles on a piece of black cloth one by one, as if the black cloth was painted with a heavy color and a color painting. When it was getting dark, grandma finished the last stitch and handed the schoolbag to Xiao Qianjing, Xiao Qianjing touched this and that excitedly, and then put it on her body, "Grandma, grandma, look, look..." "Dad, mother, look, the schoolbag that my grandmother made for me, is it good-looking, is it good-looking?" Seeing his parents come back, Xiao Qianjing showed them his schoolbag as if offering a treasure. "Good-looking, good-looking" his father touched Xiao Qianjing's head and said with a smile,

"Mother, your eyes are not good, and you will sew the book pocket for the baby, and it would be good to sew it for him when Juanzi is free."

"It's okay, is the baby going to school tomorrow, and I can't do without a pocket, or I can't put the book there!" Xiao Qianjing likes the new schoolbag very much, and holds the schoolbag in her arms at night, whether it is when she eats or sleeps.

The next morning, I didn't need to be called by an adult to get up early, and after eating, I pulled my mother to the school, and when I came to the school, I saw that many children had arrived, and I went to the principal to pay the tuition and gave two books and two books, Xiao Qianjing sat on the stool with the book in his hand, and opened the white paper and black letters inside, and the book exuded a strong ink fragrance.

It seems that autumn has passed in the blink of an eye, and winter is coming as scheduled, and the white expanse between the sky and the earth seems to be covered with a white quilt. In the past six months, Xiao Qianjing has learned a lot of letters and simple addition and subtraction, this winter's snow is particularly heavy, the weather is also very cold, and the window paper blown by the harsh north wind outside the classroom makes a strange whining. Students and teachers are sitting around the fire in the middle of the classroom, the teacher holding the book and reading the story word by word, and the students are listening attentively.

Suddenly, the beams behind the classroom made a creaking and creaking sound, but everyone didn't care, the roof behind the classroom suddenly collapsed, and the broken beams were smashed to the ground with half of the roof and snow, and even the stove tube was smashed down and buried underneath, and suddenly the classroom was in chaos, and the smoke in the stove came out, and the smoked people couldn't open their eyes, "Ahhhh All go out, all run outside. The children ran out screaming, and the teacher followed the dolls behind. When I ran to the open space outside, I saw that all the people in the next class had run out, and a group of people stood in the wind and snow and looked at the collapsed half of the house in a daze, which was extremely desolate!

"Alas! This year's snow is also falling heavily, and the snow on the roof has not had time to sweep, which has collapsed the roof. Principal Li looked at the half-collapsed classroom and said with a long sigh.

"Where's your side, what's wrong?" Principal Li looked at the other teacher.

"The front of the classroom has also collapsed a bit, and the wall has cracked, so it looks like I can't stay here this winter." The teacher was also worried.

"It seems that there is only so much to do now, let's wait for the spring next year, let the babies go home first. Alas...! "I was in a hurry when I ran out just now, and before I could take out a lot of things in it, the two teachers ran into the house again and took out all the things.

"You all take your things and go home, and tell your family that you won't come this winter, and you will come back next year when spring begins, and you can all go home." The other teacher turned to the baby books and said. When the dolls heard the teacher say this, they all turned around and walked away one after another, and the principal turned his head to look at the house that had collapsed under the snow, and his face suddenly fell, as if he was several years old.

"Mother, I'm back." Chikage braved the snow and returned home.

"Hey! Why is school so early today? Mother hurriedly came over with a broom to help Xiao Qianjingqian sweep away the snow on her hat and cotton jacket outside, "It's almost off, it's warm and warm inside the kang." ”

"Mother, our school house just let the snow collapse, and a hole in the roof of the boss was broken, and the teacher said that he would not go in winter, and he would go again when spring began next year." Xiao Qianjing said as she undressed.

"What's the matter, the house is collapsing, is the doll knocking where?" When his parents and grandparents heard it, they all gathered around him and touched this and looked at that with concern.

"Daddy, grandma, I didn't knock, it was the back of the school that collapsed, and we were all sitting in the middle."

"It's good that it's not hurt, why did it collapse?" Grandma sighed.

"The house in that school is also old, and the snow this year is too big, and there is no time to stop every day, can't it collapse!" Grandpa said to grandma.

At night, Xiao Qianjing got into the quilt early, and heard her father and grandparents talking in a daze. "Dad, I was thinking about waiting for the baby to be older in a few years and then go to the city with my third son to work, see that I have to do this early today, the young people in the village have gone to the city to work these years, and I heard them say that the school in the city is good!" said lovingly and looked at Xiao Qianjing.

"Yes, mother, I heard that San'er said that the school in the city is much better than ours, and they say that there are many places to make money in the city." Xiao Qianjing's mother also said.

"If you want to go, you can go, what can you do in the village, you are my baby I don't understand, I know that you have long wanted to go out, I have always been relieved that I and your mother, I and your mother are fine, and you don't have to worry about it, we will help you guard these dozens of acres of land in the village, if not, we will return it." Xiao Qianjing's grandfather took the dry tobacco stick and smoked one bite after another, and was silent for a while to speak, and grandma was also wiping her tears on the side.

"Dad, mother..."Xiao Qianjing's father and mother choked up with tears, looking at the old man with guilt, and there was less time to come back as soon as he went out. The mother of the child is worried, the second elder is also old, but he can't take care of him by his side, he feels very sad, but he has to go out, all for life, all for the children!
