Crackling, the sound of bean straw burning, in front of the unique grass pot in the countryside, sat a black and thin girl, sweating profusely, in this hot summer, sitting in front of such a grass pot is definitely a torment.

In fact, burning the grass pot is a technical job, to keep the fire from going out, and not to stuff too much grass at one time, Chen Juan's body is so shriveled under the support of the big grass pot. Inside the pot is dinner for the whole family tonight. The potato stew was particularly fragrant in a grass pot, which made Chen Juan, who had already been hungry after a day of school, swallow her saliva hard.

"Sister, I'm so hungry, when can I eat?" A little boy of about 10 years old ran over, with a thin little face and a shriveled body, indicating that the child was not healthy.

"Xiaogen, we'll be able to eat when Dad comes back, have you finished your homework?" Chen Juan caressed her brother's head lovingly.

"There is only one math homework left and one problem that I can't do, wait a minute, eldest sister, you teach me, the second sister doesn't teach me, and says I'm stupid." Xiao Chen Gen's face was full of grievance.

"Okay, wait a minute, after eating, the eldest sister will teach you, now go and help the eldest sister press the water." Chen Juan is the eldest in the family, and taking care of her younger siblings falls on her. The so-called pressurized water is also a technical activity of rural talents, and the dark water valve, which is first released to divert water, is actually to increase the pressure, and to press up the underground through air pressure.

This is the case with straw pots in rural areas, where after cooking the dishes, the pot is washed and the hot water used by the family to take a bath can also be boiled. After adding cold water to the pot, Chen Juan's father also shook off the dust and walked into the house. This is a sturdy middle-aged man, with dark skin, who has maintained a strong body because of years of labor. Touching his son's head, pulling over the small bench, doing where, panting.

"Dad, you're back, I'll fetch water for you to wash." Chen Juan used a porcelain basin to fetch a basin of water for her father. After Chen Juan's father finished washing, the basin of water had already turned black. At this time, Chen Juan had already cooked a meal for the whole family, and Chen Juan also pushed her mother out of the house, yes, pushed it out, Chen Juan's mother accidentally fell from a 5-meter-high platform when she was working outside, injured her lumbar vertebrae, and has been paralyzed ever since, but fortunately, Chen Juan's mother is ingenious and can weave bamboo baskets, bamboo buildings, bamboo mats and other things, every Sunday, Chen Juan will take the things made by her mother to the market and sell them, so that although the family is not rich, it is barely enough to live, It's just that because there are three people in the family studying, the burden on the family will inevitably be a little heavier.

"Mom and Dad, let's eat." Fragrant potato stew, sautéed beans, and a plate of pickles that never leave your home table. The family ate so fragrantly, Chen Juan's chopsticks never stretched out to the meat, but they always let their parents and siblings eat a little more.

"Juan, you also eat a piece of meat, come, it's the time to grow your body, you're so tired from school, how can you not eat enough." Chen Juan's father looked at his thin eldest daughter distressedly.

"Dad, I have a shallow throat and the meat is too greasy, have you seen a few girls who like to eat such fatty meat, you can eat it, I don't like to eat it." Chen Juan's face was full of disgust, not like she was pretending at all, but Chen Juan's mother still sighed. It takes a week for the children to eat a meal of meat, and in order to make the children's lives better, Chen Juan's mother began to weave bamboo at dawn every day, and her ten fingers were all calloused. But now the three children in the family go to school, although the government will give subsidies every month, but it is a drop in the bucket, and the family has been very embarrassed. Fortunately, the children are very obedient, looking at the wall is a dazzling array of awards for the three children, although the husband and wife are very bitter and tired, but they also feel that there is hope for the future.

After dinner, Chen's father took a machete to help Chen's mother chop bamboo, and Chen Juan first helped her younger siblings finish their homework, then made hot water, and went into the house to help her mother take a bath.

"Mom, I'll help you take a bath first." Chen Juan pushed her parents into the back room and helped her mother take off her daughter-in-law, because she had been paralyzed for many years, Chen's mother had some fat on her body, so Chen Juan felt a little difficult when she moved her mother's body.

"Juanjuan, mom is sorry for you, mom is useless." Chen Juan's mother always felt sorry for her daughter, since she was paralyzed 5 years ago, the family's cooking, laundry, taking care of her younger siblings and taking care of herself all fell on her daughter, who was only 11 years old at the time.

"Mom, look at what you are talking about, you are my own mother, what are you polite to your daughter. I'm 16 years old, I've done all these things" Chen Juan helped her mother change into clean clothes, Chen Juan's mother looked at her daughter and suddenly realized, yes, her daughter is 16 years old.

"Juan, Mom asked you, do you feel a stomachache? Do you feel like your chest is swelling? Chen Juan's mother suddenly realized that her daughter was 16 years old, but she did not menstruate, which is relatively late among girls, but the perennial work made the mother ignore her daughter's body.

"Mom, no, I'm in good health, no." Chen Juan didn't understand what her mother meant, she just thought that her mother was worried that she was tired from work. I went out with water.

"Dad, come over here, I'll talk to you about something." Chen Juan's father heard his wife shouting and walked into the back room.

"What's the matter, I'm chopping bamboo billets!" Chen Juan's father still has a machete in his hand.

"Dad, let me tell you, we think about making money all day long, and we forget one thing, let me tell you, Juan is 16 years old this year, and he hasn't come yet, do you think there will be any problems?" Chen Juan's father also realized the seriousness of the matter. Although both of them have only graduated from junior high school, they still know that girls have not had their menstruation in this grade, which seems to be abnormal.

"Then what should I do, I can't take the child to the hospital for a check-up, but I'm a big man, how can I take my daughter to see this kind of disease?" Chen Juan's father was a little embarrassed.

"I know, you go and call your sister, let the child go to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up, if there is anything wrong, it is better to treat it as soon as possible." Chen's mother thought about it and thought of her sister-in-law in the same village. Chen Juan's aunt.

"Okay, you wait, I'll go now." Chen Juan's father walked to the yard and saw Chen Juan washing dishes, "Juan, you give your teacher's mobile phone number to Dad, and Dad will call your teacher." Chen Juan's father was concerned about his own study, so he didn't care very much, took a piece of paper, wrote the number to his father, and continued to sit at home with housework.

After a while, Chen Juan's father walked back with Chen Juan's aunt. Chen Juan greeted her aunt warmly, Chen Juan's aunt's family opened a store in the village, so usually the family always does not accept Chen Juan's money, although the aunt's family is not rich, but she tries to help her brother's family.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here" "Come, you come in, I'll tell you" Watching her aunt and mother enter the back room, Chen Juan washed her hands and memorized the language under the lamp. After a while, my aunt came out of the house.

"Juan, your father has asked you for leave, and will take you to the hospital tomorrow." My aunt liked this niece with good grades and sensible very much.

"Aunt, I'm not sick, what are you doing in the hospital?" I felt inexplicably strange about my parents and aunt's behavior tonight.

On the outskirts of the city, in a vibrant vegetable patch, at 5 o'clock in the morning, just after dawn, the rooster crows one after another. In the center of this vegetable field, there is only a small tiled house with three rooms, and I don't know how many roosters crow, but Wang Yi has already gotten up.

After getting up, Wang Yi did not wash, first took out a belt of chaff from the firewood room, stirred with water, and carried two large buckets of stirred chaff to the pigsty, who said that pigs are lazy animals, Wang Yi must debate with him, because Wang Yi's two big fat pigs are screaming at less than 6 o'clock every day.

"Alright, alright, you two eat slowly, don't scream. Eh, the big flower has seen fat in the past few days, it's really good, obedient and grow up! "Will chat with pigs, Wang Yi himself feels 250.

But Yongan felt that there were so many people on this construction site, there were so many stalls nearby, there was always a person he hadn't seen before, this person only ordered a bowl of fried rice, and then sat on the stall and left after eating fried rice, Yongan didn't care too much, but after a few hours, this person came back.

Ran to the stall in front of Yong'an and kept making trouble, saying that Yong'an's food had damaged his stomach, and he was poisoned by eating food, and he was still holding the list of the hospital in his hand.

After feeding the pigs, Wang Yi picked up the flat burden and walked to the small river next to the vegetable field, the river water was very clear, Wang Yi first fetched two buckets of water, and then walked to a place far away from the river to water the vegetables. It can be seen from Wang Yi's skillful movements. Wang Yi has done these things I don't know how many times, Wang Yi's vegetable plot is actually not very big, only two acres of land, but there are really a lot of types in it.

Leeks, greens, zucchini, water spinach, lettuce, lettuce, peppers. It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. By the time Wang Yi finished watering the dishes, it was already half past six o'clock, and when Wang Yi was still watering the vegetables, Wang Yi's mother had already gotten up, he was going to make today's breakfast for his son, Wang Yi's mother was a passionate woman, and her body was a little blessed, because of the reason for doing business, Wang Yi's mother was a very talkative person.

Wang Yi has never seen his father, and since he was a child, Wang Yi's mother told Wang Yi that Wang Yi's father had passed away. Wang Yi often asked his father how he died when he was a child, every time Wang Yi's mother would put haha, every time it was different, Wang Yi heard that his father was because of a car accident, fire, serious illness, drowning in the river, etc., all kinds of sayings, in a word, Wang Yi's father died.

When Wang Yi came back from watering, her mother was feeding the chickens. Wang Yi put aside the vegetables in his hand, and casually threw some rotten vegetable leaves to the chickens to eat, those chickens were really well-trained, everyone just went to the rotten vegetable leaves that the owner threw on the ground, no one, no, because there should be no chickens to eat the two boxes of good dishes where they were placed.

"Mom. I've weighed it, 10 pounds of peppers, 20 handfuls of leeks, 30 pounds of greens, 10 pounds of lettuce, remember to ride slowly when you wait to deliver the vegetables. Wang Yi's tone of telling his mother is also so skillful, and it is probably not the first time that he has nagged.

"Eh, son, when you say this every day, my mother's ears are calloused. Let's go to breakfast" Wang Yi's mother glared at her son, obviously annoyed by her son.

"Mom, our school is going to have a running competition soon, the first place can have an electric bicycle, if I win, you can ride the electric bicycle to deliver food in the future, so that you can save a lot of time in the future." Wang Yi bit the steamed bun and ate the pickles, wanting her mother to inform her of this.

"Is it true, son, I heard that the electric bicycle is very expensive, and it is very fast to ride, if there is an electric bicycle, then I can deliver food in half an hour every day. Eh, that's great, hey son, can you do it, can you get the first, don't let your mother and me be happy. Wang's mother's tone was deeply skeptical of her son.

"Just kidding, Mom, your son and I can walk like a fly with two loads of water, let alone running, and don't forget that I rode to school for 9 years from elementary school to junior high school." Wang Yi ate salted beans and showed off his capital.

"It was better to do so." Wang Yi's mother came over, snatched the steamed bun from her son's hand, and took a hard bite. Wang Yi looked helplessly at her mother, who seemed to never grow up, and took a steamed bun again. After breakfast, Wang Yi picked up his schoolbag, and after talking to his mother, just like the school started running, Wang Yi insisted on running to school, the first running can make the body very good, and the second is the money earned by growing vegetables at home, except for Wang Yi's tuition. Mom would always save somewhere, and every once in a while, she would use the money she had saved to pay off her debts.

Wang Yi asked how the family owed so much debt, and her mother always said that it was a debt owed by Wang Yi's father when he was alive, although Wang Yi's father had died, but he owed the debt to repay the money, so he still had to pay it back. Later, Wang Yi didn't continue to ask.

In fact, Wang Yi is not just running, every time he runs, Wang Yi always keeps reciting mathematical formulas, English words, etc. in his mouth, because Wang Yi feels that in the case of strenuous exercise, if he can still remember these clearly, then it is not easy to forget.

Everyone has their own way of learning. Wang Yi's family only has one bicycle, so every day Wang Yi runs to school, and after his mother delivers food, she will hear the bicycle near her son's school, and when school is over, Wang Yi can ride a bicycle home. Ran into the school and looked at the school's big clock, 7:30, 10 minutes before class, today is a little late, so Wang Yi, as the class leader, couldn't help but speed up his pace.

"I ran into the classroom in a hurry, but I found that there were 4 fewer people in front of you today.
