Under the urging of the whole family, the second brother Bai Dang slowly took out his report card and handed it to his mother with care.

The transcript has been crumpled into a ball of paper.

With his white hand, he reached out and snatched it, opened it, and read it solemnly:

"Chinese, 33 points, Mathematics, 21 points, History, 11 points, Geography, 13 points, Physics, 7 points, Chemistry, 5 points......"

Without waiting for the white hand to continue reading, the third brother and the younger sister closed their eyes and began to recite.

"The student can actively exercise, love labor, and can help his classmates...... It is hoped that the student will strengthen his studies in the future, work hard to further improve his academic performance. ”

The whole family laughed, even the mother.

In terms of learning, the second brother is such a plaything, he has been in junior high school for a year and a half, and the comments on his report card are basically unchanged, and the third brother and the younger sister can recite it word for word.

"Big brother, can I start eating?" Bai Dang asked with a shy face.

"Well, the grades are stable, let's eat." White-handed and serious.

Bai Dang's chopsticks were inserted into the pot, and he made a big detour and was extremely skilled, and he copied three or four pieces of pig's head meat at once.

The white hand and the mother don't care about the study of the white dang, the twisted melon will not be sweet, and the old sow can't go up the tree, isn't it this material.

On the twenty-first day of the lunar month, Wenqiao Street Market, the whole Bai family set out.

The white hand grabbed the wooden boat of the original production team, rocked the main oar, and the second brother rocked the auxiliary oar, set off at five o'clock, and arrived at Wenqiao Street at half past six.

My mother goes back to her parents' house once a year, at a fixed time, which is today.

The wooden boat has iron chains, the head of the chain has a lock, and there are stone piles on the shore to lock the boat, and the wooden boat is locked with white hands.

When he went ashore, he carried his mother in white hands, followed by his younger brothers and sisters, and went to the street to buy gifts first.

Grandparents, uncles, uncles, and uncles, four families and four gifts, no matter how thick or thin the family affection is, no one is missing.

This time, he was arrogant and spent more than eight yuan, and his mother was also very happy.

I hired a cart for my mother to sit in, and the whole family went straight to my grandparents' house three and a half miles away from the street.

Except for the white hand did not go.

Not popular, it's better not to go than to go.

The white hand first turned around the middle street and the street, and the New Year's goods that he bought in person were bought without falling, and put them in two sacks and carried them.

After having lunch at a street food stall, I went to the "Chen Kee Blacksmith Shop" with two sacks on my back and waited for my mother and younger siblings to come back.

Chen Yuliang and Chen Liang, father and son, were eating.

"Xiaobai, let's have some food." Chen Yuliang greeted warmly.

"Uncle Chen, I've eaten, rest at your place. My mom and they went to my grandparents' house, and I waited for them to come back. ”

He put the two sacks in the door with his white hands, took a small stool for himself, and sat down at the door of the blacksmith's shop.

Chen Liang also came over to squat down with a rice bowl, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Hand, I heard that you have a big ticket?" ”

"What did you do with a big ticket?" The white hand really didn't understand.

"Pretend, pretend with me. You sold the mud from the contracted fields, and you can't hide it from the government, and you can't hide it from your good friend me. ”

The white hand said with great seriousness: "It was stolen, it was stolen by bad elements." ”

Chen Liang smiled evilly, "I stole it, I stole it, I stole it by my dog." ”

Bai Shou also smiled, "Chen Liang, I solemnly remind you not to say anything that damages unity. ”

The little brothers kept talking.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the mother and they returned.

When I came back, my second uncle came with his own cart.

There were also six bundles of chopped firewood, four sacks, and a bag of rice vermicelli and a bag of sweet potato vermicelli.

The white hand knew that the sack was filled with sweet potato shreds and sweet potato residue, and in previous years, the family's rations were not enough, and they all relied on the support of his grandfather's family.

The second uncle, Guo Erqiao, is loyal and honest, and his grandfather's family can afford to be white-handed for the two of them.

The younger siblings are arguing and want to go to the street to buy New Year's goods.

Guo Erqiao smiled and said to the white hand: "Hand, you take them there, I'll wait for you here." ”

White Hand nodded, carried his mother on his back, and took his younger siblings to Front Street.

This time the New Year's goods were bought, which made the white hands bleed heavily, and the younger brothers and sisters returned with a full load, spending six yuan and five dimes.

In the supply and marketing cooperative, my mother also bought a lot of cloth, and she was in the ticket business with her white hands, and there was no shortage of cloth tickets.

When he returned to Chen Kee's blacksmith shop, he loaded all the New Year's goods on his second uncle's board car, including the ones he bought with his own hands, as well as the hoes, nails, rakes and other farm tools he ordered.

After saying goodbye to the Chen family's father and son, the whole family followed the second uncle's cart to the river port on the lower street.

With his white hands, he carried his mother to the boat and sat down, and then let his younger brothers and sisters carry New Year's goods to the boat, and went ashore by himself, squatting with his second uncle and chatting.

The white hand first took out some cigarette tickets and handed them to the second uncle, who was interested in this point, and the allocated cigarette tickets were not enough to smoke.

Guo Erqiao accepted the cigarette ticket, pointed to the New Year's goods, and said with a smile: "Hand, you are more capable than your father." ”

In front of the second uncle, he didn't forget to brag, "Second uncle, I am still ready to strive to become a 10,000 yuan household within three years." ”

"Second uncle believes in you."

"Second uncle, there are two things I want you to ask for."

"You say, the second uncle will help you."

Bai Hand said: "I just hit a hoe nail rake or something, and I still lack a few hoe handles, please ask my second uncle to help me get a few." ”

Guo Erqiao promised that his home was on the side of the mountain and belonged to the mountain people. There are trees on the mountain, although they are collective, but the mountain people use them for their own use, and ordinary trees can be cut down.

"Also, on the next market day, that is, on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, please invite the second uncle to come to the street. I want to raise pigs, so I ask my second uncle to help me buy a few piglets. ”

"Oh, you want to raise pigs too?"

"Well, the farmer, who can not raise pigs."

"Okay, I'll be there on the twenty-sixth day, you come early."

Buying piglets requires the help of experts to buy good piglets, and looking for the second uncle is the right person.

The second uncle has been married for ten years, and he has also raised pigs for ten years, and he is an expert in pig raising.

White hands and the second uncle carried the firewood and sacks to the ship.

"Sister, hands, you're fine, I'm leaving."

The second uncle waved his hand and pulled the cart away.

Unlock the lock with your white hand and close the chain, kick the shore with one foot, and the wooden boat is offshore.

"Second, you go to the main oar, and third, you go to support the auxiliary oar." Sitting on the bow of the boat with white hands, he choked the second and third brothers.

Bai Dang answered, walked to the stern, jumped on the pedals, and shook the main oar.

The third brother quit, "Big brother, I can't rock the boat." ”

"If you can't shake it, you and I can't rock a boat before."

The third brother said: "I don't learn to rock the boat, big brother, I don't need to learn to rock the boat." ”

"Hey, why don't you learn how to rock a boat?"

"I'm going to go to university in the future, I'm a college student, and college students don't need to be able to rock a boat."

The whole family laughed.

The white hand scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, when you really become a college student, come and put up a stinky shelf, you are not now." Go, if you don't rock the boat, I'll stop giving you your pocket money." ”

The eldest brother's intimidation worked, and the third brother did not dare to disobey, so he quickly got up and grabbed the auxiliary oar.

In the laughter, the third brother was clumsy and did him a favor......
