Chapter 003: The Almighty Tattered King
Donghuang is very naughty, like a monkey, jumping up and down all day long, grandma has bad legs and feet after a serious illness, walking a little lame, can't look at him at all, so he was sent to the village kindergarten at the age of five, two years earlier than the average child, at that time seven years old to kindergarten, eight years old to the first grade.
There is only one teacher in the kindergarten, called Dafeng, the daughter of the third grandmother, with a pungent temper, lifting her ears and kicking her ass are her two great tricks, and she greets Donghuang a lot.
After two years of wandering in kindergarten, his ears were stretched by Dafenggu, and when he was seven years old, Donghuang went to the first grade, and he could finally let himself go again, especially after school, climbing trees and rivers, chasing dogs and chickens, organizing a group of children to fight and kill, scurrying around in the alleys, and not shouting back until he ate. Over the years, I have been accustomed to a scene that every time there is a meal, my grandmother will hold on to the wall, limp to the back of the house, hold on to the corner of the wall and tear her throat and shout: "East Wilderness, East Wilderness, come back for dinner!" After a while, he came out and shouted: "East Wilderness, East Wilderness, the rice is cold!" Generally, you have to shout two or three times, grandma is very small, but her voice is super high, and she can be heard through several alleys.
In fact, naughty is naughty, Donghuang is still very sensible, since grandma is seriously ill, the conditions at home have not been good, grandpa farming in his spare time, has been busy doing small business to make money, baskets, dustpans, wooden forks, benches, selling vegetables, building arches, red and white things in Zhangluo Village, etc., all day long early and late return. When he was very young, Donghuang followed his grandfather's buttocks, going to the field every morning and evening to cut grass and pull wild vegetables, and came back to feed the family's cattle, sheep, pigs, ducks and chickens, all kinds of poultry and livestock.
The children of the poor are in charge early, and Donghuang has long realized the importance of things, as long as they can be sold for money, everything is picked up at home, at that time there was no waste carton of beverage bottles, and the waste paper used by children in school was very expensive, either cigarette rolls or wiping buttocks, and the tatters that could be picked up were nothing more than some broken wine bottles. The small east house in the courtyard is often full of bags of broken glass bottles, broken glass can also be sold for money, all of which are picked up little by little by Donghuang, this kid has always had the habit of glancing around when he walked, which he developed when he was a child, and he wanted to see what he could pick up wherever he went.
Later, I went to the third grade, went to school in the neighboring village, just in those years to catch up with the township power supply line upgrade, erected a telephone pole on the side of the road, walked along the wire, can pick up a piece of scrap wire cut off, on the way to and from school, Donghuang took a wooden stick, pulled all the way, and then ran to other places to pick up, half a year to pick up most of the bag, made a small fortune, sold more than five yuan, grandma happily closed her mouth.
That should also be regarded as a kind of perseverance, down-to-earth spirit, all over the countryside around the wire pole has been pulled again, some of the wire head is only one or two centimeters, do not let go at all, save dozens of pounds, now think about it without perseverance can not do, at that time Donghuang did not feel that there is anything difficult, every day is tireless, he feels very happy and energetic, the facts show that all the rhetorical inspirational language is floating clouds, only the pressure of survival can stimulate people's maximum ability, it is the childhood of the waste picking experience, He left a valuable wealth to Su Donghuang, and when he joined the work many years later, his tenacity and diligence hidden in his bones were as dazzling as diamonds.
In fact, throughout childhood, Donghuang was basically free-range, grandparents' love is selfless, but will not talk about the truth of being a man and doing things, many times, Donghuang is with his grandfather, grandpa is a capable person, he has taught in a private school, he is loyal, has a gentle temperament, and it is particularly scary to start a fire. When he was in the second grade of Donghuang, he made a big mistake, once he was playing with his friends, and he got into an uninhabited broken yard, and accidentally found more than a dozen empty bottles piled up in the house.
Donghuang didn't know if it was right to do this, he was worried, and after he went home, he told his grandmother, and grandma told his grandfather, and grandpa was furious, pulled out his belt, and let Donghuang kneel in the yard, crackling and pumping, not asking whether it hurt or not, and not asking if he knew what was wrong, he just gritted his teeth and scolded: "I let you steal!" "The older generation has an unusually clear code of conduct, which is strictly adhered to in life, and if you enter through the window, it is theft, and you must fight to the death.
In the past, the Eastern Wilderness often caused trouble, herding cattle and gnawing other people's crops, smashing other people's glass, lighting other people's firewood, blocking other people's chimneys, going down to the river to play in the water and almost drowning, riding a bicycle and breaking an arm... All kinds of troubles, grandpa scolded a few words, didn't make such a big fire, that time the fight was called a ruthless, and after finishing the work, he limped to apologize to others.
Later, he was beaten several times because of other things, and these few flesh and skin sufferings made Donghuang useless all his life.
When I was in the fourth grade, Donghuang went to a farther village to go to school, called Nanjizhuang, more than six miles away from Sujiaguanzhuang, Sujiaguanzhuang is a big village, and in 84 and 85 years, there were eighteen or nineteen in this batch of Donghuang, and more than a dozen children ran to and from school together, and they arrived at the school by jumping and hopping, and there were no adults to pick them up. At that time, these children practiced outstanding long-distance running skills, and in the next few years of the township primary school sports meeting out of the limelight, almost all the medals in the middle and long-distance running, lively and active Donghuang is one of the leaders, several people also as the town's primary school student representatives to participate in the county sports meeting.
The principal of Nanji Primary School is very proud, specially set up a long-distance running team, every day after school is led by a temporarily appointed physical education teacher to carry out long-distance running training, around several villages around the circle, sometimes even without class, pull out to practice in broad daylight, quite eye-catching, at that time there are also parents opposed, which rural children are not from school home to help work? Besides, what if you don't go to class and delay your child's learning?
At this time, the principal pushed Donghuang out, he would not delay his studies, look at Donghuang, the captain of the long-distance running team, the study did not fall, not to mention that the results of Donghuang have always been the first in the class, but it is not enough to be angry, who in the entire Su family Guanzhuang does not know that the little grandson of Su Youde's family is smart, and later the principal added a boiled egg to these running children every day, and this matter is over.
In this way, I ran for two years, and I took a basket of awards, and Nanji Primary School was also famous in the county, and later the county sports school also sent people to see these children, and planned to pick a few good seedlings to focus on cultivation and cultivation.
At that time, the radio shouted for national fitness every day, and the county sports school specially came to the village to select seedlings, which caused a sensation in Sujiaguanzhuang, and the villagers discussed, "Our Sujiaguanzhuang is good feng shui~~" "You see how many good seedlings will come out of this batch of children~~" "The grandson of the old Su family will definitely be selected~~"
Unexpectedly, Donghuang, who has outstanding strength, was not selected, according to the teacher of the sports school, this child is not tall and not suitable for long-distance running. The other two tall and long-legged children were selected, and the two adults were happy, the sports school was in charge of eating and living, milk and eggs every day, where to find such a good thing?
Grandpa is very open to this, even if Donghuang is selected, he will not let him go to a sports school, everything is inferior, only reading is high, studying hard is the right way, the two selected families are not convinced, saying that Lao Sutou can't eat grapes and says that grapes are sour.
Half a year later, my grandfather's vision was proven, he graduated from Donghuang Primary School, and the whole town took the unified examination, and he won the first place in the town at once, and the whole village was served.
