The nightlife in the countryside is very monotonous, nothing more than gathering together to talk about the neighborhood and anecdotes from the past and present to pass the long winter nights.

Since the Su family had a TV set, it has become the favorite place for the neighbors.

Everyone will come early to occupy a good position, while talking about the shortcomings of parents near and far, while seeing the life of another world in the TV, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Su Qingtong was very disgusted with these unknown people crowding at home to smoke and fart, and when the show ended, the cigarette butts and the long-lasting choking smell in the room were really unbearable.

And now that she saw this familiar scene again, she actually wanted to shed tears, because only when her parents were alive would there be such a noisy night and people would party.

Parents have their favorite topics and feel happy, and when their parents pass away, they will never see these people at home again, and although life has become quiet, it is a defect in life to not have the tranquility of parents.

In Su Qingtong's memory, she has always felt that these years have been the best years for her family, although she owes the debt, she bought a TV and a room, and played a sunbath on the mountain, these are all constructions that cost a lot of money, unlike the years when she was studying, her parents could no longer take out a penny to invest in construction, so that the home became more and more dilapidated, and soon collapsed and disappeared in a heavy rain.

Su Qingtong secretly swore that in this life, she must improve the situation at home.

She wants to build a new house for her parents, she wants to dress them in the best clothes, she wants to buy them a bigger and better color TV set, and she wants them to live a good life.

And if she wants to change this life, the first thing she must do is to have money, not only to make money, but also to earn a lot of money, in order to bring the most comfortable life to her relatives.

Su Qingtong took the opportunity to go to the toilet and entered the space again, and the space was the place where she pinned her dream of making a fortune.

There is no day or night in the space, and it is bright at night, and the gentle light shines on the pond and the grass next to the pond and the dark brown soil next to the grass, giving people a sense of tranquility and beauty.

The seeds sprinkled in the morning have broken their skins, and the faint green in the soil can be faintly seen, according to this growth rate, it should not be long before this is a place where melons and fruits are fragrant, and when the time comes, she can exchange vegetables for money to share some of the pressure on life for her parents.

When Su Qingtong came out of the space, the TV in his parents' room was playing a wonderful TV series.

She realized that the time inside the space was faster than the outside, she stayed in for almost three hours, and the outside was less than an hour, which explained why the seeds sown in the morning began to sprout in the evening.

When Su Qingtong went to bed, her sister Su Zitong was not allowed to go to bed without washing her feet and face, in fact, she had just taken a bath in the pond of the space, but it was difficult to explain, so she only had to pour hot water from the kitchen to wash her face and feet, and Su Zitong allowed her to lift the quilt.

Who knew that she had just gone to bed, and Su Zitong, who was sleeping on the other end, asked in surprise: "Su Qingtong, did you wash your feet with soap?" ”

Su Qingtong was puzzled and said, "No, there is no soap at home, how can I use it to wash my feet?" ”

"It's so strange, how is the inside of the quilt fragrant, I used to only smell the rancid smell of your feet, but tonight there is the fragrance of flowers."

Su Qingtong laughed dryly, no wonder her sister asked her to wash her feet and go to bed, it turned out that she smelled her stinky feet and fell asleep every night, alas! I'm sorry for my sister.

Su Zitong quickly fell asleep, motionless, and Su Qingtong accidentally kicked her without losing her temper.

Su Qingtong couldn't sleep at all, maybe she slept for a long time during the day and now she didn't feel sleepy, or maybe she hadn't adapted to today's life, or maybe there were too many things happening today, and she had to slowly sort out the situation in front of her.

I don't know how long the quilt on her body has been covered, the hard smell is musty, and the wet feeling makes her greasy, especially the potholes under her body, and she has a sore back from sleeping, so she tosses and turns until midnight.

The folks who watched TV left one after another, and the TV program finally said goodbye.

In the quiet of the night, hearing a whisper of conversation from her parents' room, Wang Xuelian was settling accounts with her husband: "I borrowed 30 yuan from the Xie family, and I borrowed 30 yuan from the Zhou family, so I got together 80 yuan in gift money, and the money was said to be repaid at the end of the year, can you think of a way." ”

Su Xiuqian was silent for a while and said: "There are a lot of debts owed this year, and the things that just happened to ask for money are all in one place, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pay it back at the end of the year, so I have to find a way to say hello to everyone, so as not to come over every day to ask for .....accounts."

Wang Xuelian said: "The Tan family told me a long time ago that this money must be used at the end of the year........

Su Xiuqian's voice became lower and lower, and he said weakly: "The credit union is also urging me to repay the money, and he can't think of a way........

Wang Xuelian asked: "Then how much can you have this month's salary?" ”

"The school has to deduct 30 yuan every month, and it can pay more than 10 yuan at most."

Wang Xuelian sighed and fell silent, and came over for a while before saying: "The pigs in the pig pen are also eighty or ninety catties, if you really can't deal with it, you will kill them in advance." ”

Su Xiuqian disagreed and said: "It's the time for a long plagiarism, so let's wait, otherwise it will be too much of a loss." ”

......

Qingtong listened to the conversation of his parents and was a little confused, it turned out that the family owed so many debts, and in the previous life, his parents often went home late at night to avoid debts, could it have already started at this time?

I remember that on a snowy day when she was in the fifth grade of primary school, her mother didn't want to go to the accountant of the credit union to get the money in person, so she asked someone to make an appointment to let her go in advance, but naturally she didn't get the money.

So that winter was quite poor, the other children had new clothes for the New Year, and she didn't even have a pair of new socks.

Su Qingtong's heart was uncomfortable, thinking of the small space she had just had, and feeling relieved, as long as the vegetables in the space grow, she can sell them for money, although she can't make much, it's better than being penniless.

The winter morning was cold and quiet, and the cold air was blowing in his face, and Su Qingtong, who was carrying a schoolbag to school, shivered.

She was dressed a little thinly, her upper body was a shirt underneath, a sweater with hairline on her sleeves, strands of wool fell off, and a single-layer coat was put on outside, Su Qingtong turned out all the pants she could wear in the morning, including the half-cut warehouse in summer, there were only three thin really good pants in total, although they were really good materials, they were not warm at all, and they couldn't stop the clammy cold at all, no wonder she was sick.

Su Qingtong is a child who knows how to advance and retreat, she understands the difficulties of her parents, and also understands the difficulties of the family, she never asks for it, and knows that it is not easy to buy her clothes at home, even if it is cold, she will not say anything.

Her mother said that she knew how to take care of herself, and when it was cold, she knew to find clothes to wear, whether it was winter or summer clothes, as long as she could wear them, she would put them on her body.

Su Qingtong's school was originally a temple of Emperor Guansheng, although it was an adobe house, but it was built layer upon layer, a courtyard after a courtyard, quite a courtyard deep and a little charm, before the liberation is still a very magnificent building, according to the story handed down by the old man, the Emperor Guansheng enshrined here is quite effective, once saved the people of this side of the water and soil.

When the Japanese devils invaded here, Emperor Guan Sheng pretended to be a white-haired old man, stood at the crossroads, and then led the Japanese devils to another road away from the Guandi Temple and saved the villagers here.

Su Qingtong felt that this legend was not true, how could Emperor Guan Shengjun really appear and let the devils burn and kill and plunder, why didn't he drive away the devils?

The old people also said that this is a natural disaster and man-made disaster, it is a fortune, and the Guan Shengdi can not go against the will of heaven, the only thing he can do is to bless the people near the Guandi Temple, keep his incense, this legend later made the incense of the Guandi Shengjun Temple more prosperous, until the liberation of the four old, which was defeated, and then changed to a school.

Su Qingtong likes the architectural layout of the school very much, but unfortunately it was demolished and replaced with a red brick building in the 90s, which completely changed the taste.

Su Qingtong pushed open the door of the third-grade classroom with her memory, and then looked at the unfamiliar little faces in the classroom in a daze, she really couldn't remember where the seat was at this time.

At this moment, a slightly familiar face sitting next to the door turned to her and said, "What are you standing there in a daze?" The teacher is coming, and you don't sit down yet. ”

She let out an 'oh' and blurted out, "Where's my seat?" ”

Several of her classmates burst into laughter, and one of the male classmates glanced at her with disdain and said, "Are you really stupid?" I don't even know where I'm sitting! ”

The boy next to him said to him, "She was the third from the bottom in the last exam, do you think she's stupid?" ”

The male classmate sneered and said, "The teacher's daughter can't read, and I don't know if your father can't teach, otherwise he can't even teach his own children." ”

The girl who originally talked to Su Qingtong angrily reprimanded them: "Are the two of you getting better grades than her?" Fifty steps and a hundred steps, isn't it interesting? ”

The male classmate fought back unhappily: "Zhao Cangping, are you a dog?" If you catch someone, bite it, don't repeat the grade if you have the ability. ”

Su Qingtong couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that they were all bad students, but when he heard the name Zhao Cangping, he couldn't help but glance at the tall girl, and he also remembered the past with Zhao Cangping.

In his previous life, because both of them were poor students, he played better, and later Zhao Cangping stopped school after graduating from elementary school, and got married the next year.

Su Qingtong met Zhao Cangping who returned to her parents' house on the road many years later, she was holding a child in her hand and holding a child on the ground, the mother and son were all dressed in a daze, and the children were also dragging two long noses, it could be seen that they were not doing well, and they never met again.

Qingtong helplessly looked at Zhao Cangping, who was arguing with the two boys, and thought, you tell me where I sit!

Zhao Cangping didn't know if he was busy arguing or didn't believe that Su Qingtong really couldn't find his seat, but he didn't mention this stubble, so Su Qingtong had no choice but to resign himself to moving forward, first looking at where there was a vacant seat, and then sitting on it first.

When Su Qingtong was about to walk to the podium, she suddenly saw a surprised look at her, Su Qingtong looked at her, and saw the vacant seat next to her, and walked towards the vacant seat with a blessed heart.

At this time, the classroom was already full of students, and there were not many vacant seats left, and there was a vacant seat next to Zhou Dan, who lived next door to the school.
