In a dilapidated old house, the cold wind was whistling and the windows creaked, Xiao Yi raised his head, looked at the window, and then found a piece of plastic sheet in the corner and nailed the entire window shut.

After all this, Xiao Yi went to his father's bedside, poured out a little hot water from the kettle on the table, took out the medicine that his father had to take every day from the drawer, and carefully fed his father.

After his father finished taking the medicine, he let him lie on the bed, covered him with the quilt, walked to his small bed, looked at the shredded cardboard box on it, scratched his head, and saw that the quilt he had just washed by the fire had not yet been dried, so he could only take a break! The quilt was already half-dry and half-wet, and he fell over the small bed, Xiao Yi did not take off his clothes, directly wrapped himself in the quilt, lay on the cardboard box, and soon fell asleep.

In the dream, Xiao Yi seemed to be back in the time when he was just in junior high school.

It's late September, and it's been a week since the new junior high school students entered the school, and they basically get to know each other. Xiao Yi sat in the corner and looked at the classmates chatting around.

Hello ......" Suddenly, a crisp girl's voice came. In an instant, almost all the people in the first class subconsciously looked at the door.

In the eye, there was a girl at the door. She wears a pale blue dress, as well as a pair of sandals. It's not a particularly conspicuous dress, but it wears the smell of a fairy on her body.

"It's beautiful! It's really beautiful...... Whether it is the figure, temperament, or appearance, it has reached the point where people can't take their eyes off. When Xiao Yi saw Li Peier for the first time, he was fascinated.

Xiao Yi, who was dreaming, suddenly woke up from freezing.

Xiao Yi opened his eyes, felt cold and numb, and looked out the window, it was already dawning!

After getting out of bed, I moved around the house for a while, so that the blood in my body circulated quickly, and my body gradually became hot.

I walked to my father's bed and looked at him with a sound sleep, not beaten! When he opened the door, it was white, and it was in Xiao Yi's eyes.

"It's really snowing!" Xiao Yi muttered to himself, and walked to the courtyard to a pile of dry wood in the corner of the wall. Reaching out and pushing aside the snow from the wood, he took a bundle of wood and went back to the house, started to light a fire, and prepared breakfast for his father.

Today's breakfast is relatively simple, a little porridge cooked with jade noodles, and two cold steamed buns are roasted and heated by the fire, this is Xiao Yi and his father's breakfast today.

Xiao Yi carefully fed his father breakfast, and drank all the remaining polenta.

After Xiao Yi gave his father the medicine, he added a few large pieces of wood to the fire in the house, walked to the table in front of the small bed, took out an iron box from below, and opened it full of worn-out banknotes of one cent, five cents, and one dollar, which was the money he had picked up and sold in the past few days.

Xiao Yi carefully counted the broken banknotes on the side, a total of 85 yuan, and there was nothing to eat at home.

After Xiao Yi put the banknotes in his pocket, he walked to the yard to sweep the snow off the broken tricycle, and then pushed the tricycle and rode towards the farmers' market in Yecheng.

A heavy snowfall covered the entire central China region of China, covered in whitewashed silver makeup, and the demolition village in the eastern suburbs of Yecheng was covered with snow on a small white road Xiao Yi was covered with snow at the moment. But he didn't care and rode forward with great difficulty.

In the largest farmers' market in Yecheng City, Xiao Yi rode a broken tricycle and only turned to the garbage accumulation in the farmers' market.

Xiao Yi rode a tricycle, stopped by the garbage pile full of rotten vegetables, rubbed his frozen hands vigorously, and finally began to look for some edible vegetables in the rotten vegetables.

Soon Xiao Yi found a lot, eggplant, radish, and some other vegetables.

After Xiao Yi put the vegetables in the first tricycle, he was just about to ride away when he was grabbed by someone.

"Boy, who told you to pick vegetables here, don't you know that sanitation has been going on here recently?" A fat man in a city control uniform grabbed Xiao Yi, who had just ridden on the car, and said.

Xiao Yi looked at the fat chengguan with a fierce face, and said cautiously: "Brother chengguan, I really don't know, there is a sanitation rectification going on here, I will leave right now." ”

A middle-aged woman carrying a garbage bag walks past you and says, "This chengguan brother, this child, I know a child who is miserable, taking care of a day alone, a crazy father, it's not easy, if it's not a big deal, you can let him go!" ”

After hearing the middle-aged woman's words, the fat chengguan's face softened, and he said to Xiao Yi: "Then you go!" Recently, the top has to come down to check, and you don't want to come here to pick up vegetables lately. ”

"Thank you, thank you, Brother Chengguan, you are a good person" After speaking, Xiao Yi looked at the middle-aged woman gratefully and said: "Aunt Liu, I don't know if you have expired cornmeal or noodles there, there is nothing to eat at home!" I want to buy a little expired one from you. ”

"Yes, sort of." The middle-aged woman casually threw the garbage bag on the garbage heap, pulled Xiao Yi and threw the car here, and said with a smile as she walked.

The fat city manager heard the conversation between the two people, and thought to himself, in the health inspection is so powerful, this woman actually sells expired things, isn't this a crime against the wind? Thinking of this, the fat city manager followed.

In the farmers' market, after a middle-aged woman in a grain and oil store pulled Xiao Yi in, she took out a woven bag from a corner, which contained more than a dozen catties of cornmeal.

Xiao Yi stretched out his hand to take the woven bag and said, "Aunt Liu, how much do you want for this cornmeal?" ”

When the middle-aged woman heard Xiao Yi's words, she said a little unhappily: "These cornmeals have passed their expiration date, and they can't be sold at all, so you can take them!" ”

Xiao Yi took out a handful of worn-out banknotes from his pocket, put them on the cabinet and said, "Aunt Liu, no, I can't take it for free from you every time." ”

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he walked out of the grain and oil store with a woven bag.

The young woman looked at the back of Xiao Yi leaving, then looked at a handful of change on the table, shook her head with a smile and said: "What a sensible child, the stinky boy in the family, if he is like Xiao Yi, I am afraid that I will wake up laughing in my dreams." ”

Xiao Yi just walked out of the grain and oil store a few steps when he ran into the fat city manager just now and was stopped by him.

The fat city manager saw that Xiao Yi walked out of a grain and oil store carrying a woven bag, stopped him and said, "Little brother, can you show me what you bought that has passed the expiration date?" ”

Xiao Yi still has a good impression of this fat city manager, and handed him the woven bag in his hand. said: "Brother Chengguan, what are you doing with this? ”

After the fat city manager took the woven bag, he opened his hand and grabbed a handful of cornmeal recently, and after taking a closer look, he thought to himself, what kind of expired is this, it is obviously a new cornmeal that has just been ground out for a short time, did he hear it wrong just now!

The fat city manager asked very curiously: "Little brother, is this cornmeal expired?" ”

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded, "Well, these are expired cornmeal, every time Aunt Liu will give me a little and let me go back to make porridge to eat." ”

The fat city manager is not a fool, and he quickly understood the truth. smiled and returned the woven bag in his hand to Xiao Yi, and said, "It's okay, it's snowing heavily today, you should go back early!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Chengguan, I'm leaving, it's still early, I'm going to other garbage stations to find out if there are any scrap products that can be sold for money" Xiao Yi took the woven bag packed in cornmeal, said hello to the fat chengguan, and walked towards his broken tricycle.
