Chapter 11: My Father's Lame Leg (I)

Yan Xi got up at 5:30 in the morning, and saw that his parents and little sister were still sleeping, so he went to the outhouse bathroom to rinse briefly, changed into a basketball uniform, and went out to start a morning run.

According to Yanxi's childhood memories, there is a stone road behind the village leading directly to the primary school, the primary school is next to the railway, along the railway to the north, about a kilometer will meet another railway, the two are vertical, in the west, encounter the first road to the south, the end of the road is the village where Yanxi grew up.

The running route is about 5 kilometers, and Yan Xi runs along the rising sun to the east. Although the scenery along the way is no longer what it used to be, it is still beautiful, and the hometown will become better and better.

The road to the elementary school has been turned into asphalt, so you don't have to worry about getting mud on rainy days. To the left of Yan Xi is still a rectangular pond, with a strong poplar tree every ten meters, and the leaves are rustling in the wind. On the right hand side is a piece of cultivated land, Yan Xi remembers that when she was a child, someone planted cucumbers, and every day when she went to school and left school, she had a cucumber, which was the standard for children in which era. Now they have been replaced with seedlings, and the varieties are not very clear, but there are red-leaved, yellow-leafed, green-leafed, tall, and short, which reminds him of the gorgeous aurora.

"I was in a dream." Yan Xi smiled and continued to run.

Approaching the primary school, Yan Xi slowed down her pace and stopped at the gate, the previous green on/off iron door was replaced by a low electric door, the wall was still snow-white, with a red slogan: advocating science, pursuing truth, sincere patriotism, and striving to become a talent.

Yan Xi clearly remembers the previous slogan: education should be oriented to modernization, the world, and the future!

He still likes the old slogan, looking through the electric door, a three-story building, old, generally unchanged, maybe the equipment inside has been updated.

Yan Xi remembered the time when he went to school in it, and once he was particularly impressed, at that time, there was a wave of retired old cadres who wanted to come to the school to observe, and it was said that they came with money, and they would give money to subsidize the school if it was good. A vigorous cleaning campaign was launched, and the homeroom teacher took the lead, and the requirements were very strict, even the glass on the third floor had to be wiped spotlessly.

At that time, the tables and chairs were all made of wood, the chairs were painted with a layer of yellow paint, and the table surface was painted with a layer of green paint, and the students often used knives to carve words on them.

There is only one verse, which he engraved in the upper right corner, and he carved it very carefully.

Alone in the west building without a word, the moon is like a hook.

Yan Xi forgot why she carved this poem in the first place, and when she erased it, she used a lot of force.

"At a young age, why are there so many sorrows and farewells, thinking of spring." Yan Xi smiled, ran along the railway to the north, he went out with a nail, intending to press a small sword on the track to play, but unfortunately it was blocked by barbed wire along the way, and he couldn't get in.

The road to the north is still a dirt road, full of potholes, and Yan Xi should always pay attention to the small stones that suddenly appear on the road, in case it twists his feet. He remembered the scene when he was a child and kicked a stone to school, and he felt like he was suddenly feeling sorry for his shoes and didn't want to kick the stone again.

That's what it's like to grow up. Yan Xi thought about reaching the foot of another railway, and the shadow of a road could be faintly seen in the direction of the west, overgrown with weeds.

Yan Xi tried to walk, wearing a basketball jersey, the pants were too short, and the blades of grass were directly scratched on the skin, leaving a faint white mark. Yan Xi stepped on his feet and looked in, and there was Lala Rice Tree in the depths, a long-thorned vine that was common on the roadside in the countryside.

"Looks like we'll have to go back the way we came." Yan Xi sighed, turned around and continued to run.

Back home, Yan Xi simply washed her face. Xi Niang had already gotten up, and was making breakfast in her pajamas, and Yan Xi went over to help. Xi Niang asked him to beat two eggs, pick two green onions, and breakfast was egg cake and somen soup.

Yan Xi put the stirred eggs and green onions on the cutting board, Xi Niang was busy kneading the dough, lowered her head and said, "Your mobile phone rang just now, Wen Xi called, you are not there, I will take it." Xi Niang glanced at Yan Xi, "I heard Wen Xi say, you asked not to wear clothes in the video?" ”

Yan Xi's face was black, and this time she couldn't wash it even if she jumped into the Yellow River, and smiled awkwardly, "Wen Xi is joking." By the way, what's going on with my dad's leg? ”

Xi Niang glared at him, poured the eggs into the noodles, and continued to knead, "Don't follow the pestle here like a big eagle, cut the green onions, there are noodles in the cabinet, take two packs." ”

"Oh." Yan Xi worked pretendically, and her mind was all on her mother's side.

I only heard Xi Niang say softly: "Your father's leg was crushed by a steel bar when he was working, and he didn't get a dime. You say a mud leg, hard work, where do you know this, the boss of the construction site heard that he knew the people on the road, we can't afford to provoke it, so we can only break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach. Xiaoxi, you must work hard, do what the leader tells you to do seriously, do it well, and strive to join the party as soon as possible, do you know? ”

Yan Xi nodded gloomily and received the chopped green onion into an empty bowl. "Mom, I'll go down, you just take care of the pancakes."

Breakfast was soon ready, Yan Xi put the table, Xi Zhenshan came out with a cane, sat on a chair, and Yan Xi served him a bowl of noodles. Xi Niang called Xi Ting out for breakfast, but she stopped eating on the grounds that she had studied for too long last night and needed to supplement her sleep.

After breakfast, Yan Xi helped brush the dishes and chopsticks, and Xi Zhenshan sat on the sofa, swiping his mobile phone. A smart phone that costs a few hundred dollars, and I've been using it for almost two years, and the card doesn't work.

Xi Zhenshan frowned and said: "Xiaoxi, you show me this mobile phone, it's too stuck, and it takes half a day to chat with WeChat to open it." ”

Yan Xi wiped his hands clean and took over the mobile phone, there were all kinds of strange applications he had never seen before, there were three APPs with Taobao logos alone, and there were various browsers, so it was strange that the mobile phone was not stuck.

Yan Xi asked, "Dad, do you often go to Taobao?" ”

"I won't get it, I haven't used it, you see that those useless software have been deleted for me, and the reading app is left for me, and there are still a few novels in it that I haven't finished reading."

"Got it." Yan Xi sat opposite Xi Zhenshan, deliberately leaned on the back of the chair, and while uninstalling the APP, he secretly copied a copy of the address book and sent it to his WeChat, and then deleted the chat history, so that he didn't know it.

There are too many junk apps on the phone, plus Caton, and the uninstallation is directly dead in the middle of the uninstallation, and it can only be restarted and then operated. Waiting for this, Yan Xi took out his mobile phone and bought a ZTE F6S on Tmall, less than 800 yuan, and there was no problem at all in a year.

After the uninstallation was completed, Yan Xi returned the phone to Xi Zhenshan, "Dad, it's much better now, you can use it first, I just bought one from the Internet, it's not expensive, less than 600 yuan." It is estimated that it will arrive in two days, and you can play at home. ”

Xi Zhenshan leaned happily on the sofa, the wrinkles on his face stretched, he took out a box of Hongtashan from his jacket pocket, threw one to Yan Xi, and ordered one himself.

"No smoking in the house, less often!" Xi Niang heard the sound of the lighter, rushed out of the bedroom, and glared at Xi Zhenshan.

The middle-aged man immediately put the cigarette back into the cigarette case, leaned on the sofa with his hands crossed, and twisted his face to the side, looking aggrieved.

Yan Xi learned from his father in style.

"I'm addicted to smoking at a young age, I took a fancy to a sportswear, and the link will be sent to you." Xi Niang said, turning around and going back to the bedroom.

Yan Xi received a message on WeChat on his mobile phone, it was a Taobao link, he copied the link and opened it on Tmall, only 99 yuan for a set of sportswear, the quality is definitely not much better. According to the style of this dress, Yan Xi went to the flagship store to buy a similar set and spent 255 yuan.

"Mom, I've finished paying you." Yan Xi shouted, stood up, and said to Xi Zhenshan: "Dad, I'll go out to find a friend for a while, and I won't come back to eat at noon." ”

"Who are you looking for?" Xi Zhenshan asked.

"There are only a few people in our village, who else can it be?" Yan Xi asked rhetorically, he didn't know who Xi Xi's friend was at all, so he could only use this method to set it up.

"Zhang Yu, isn't he going to work? Coming back? Xi Zhenshan asked suspiciously, he habitually took out the cigarette and put it back in his pocket.

"I'm back, I called just now and asked." Yan Xi said and walked into the courtyard. From afar, I heard his father saying, don't play around, pay attention to safety.

The curtains in Xi Ting's room suddenly opened, "Brother, give me two hamburgers back." ”

Yan Xi nodded, looked at her parents' bedroom, waited for a while, didn't see her mother mean to speak, and walked out of the house slowly.

Zhang Yu has an impression of this person, they have always been in the same class in elementary school, he is relatively strong, in the 6th grade, he was in the 5th grade with a little girl, and there was a boy in the little girl's class who liked her, and the two men were up, no one was convinced, and the two made an appointment to fight at the school gate on Friday. The two of them shake people in various ways, no matter how they fight, they can't lose their momentum.

Yan Xi was also shouted to fill the number, and that afternoon I didn't know where Zhang Yu's mother knew the news, so she rode a bicycle early and waited at the school gate. Zhang Yu is also a ruthless person, when he saw his mother, he didn't see it, he took out the pickaxe from his schoolbag and turned it on the boy's head, the two of them scolded and scolded, many people stopped him, and the teacher, and in the end, Zhang Yu's mother kicked him twice, kicked him and staggered, and then someone snatched the pickaxe in his hand, and the matter came to an end.

The young man who was beaten, holding his head with one hand, was dragged back and shouted: "Zhang Yu, you wait for me!" ”

On the contrary, Yan Xi had never seen the two of them do it before graduating from elementary school.

Xing asked Zhang Yu for help, I don't know if he has gone home? Yan Xi took out his mobile phone and flipped through the address book, there was Zhang Yu's contact information, or a star contact, it seems that Xi Xi has a good relationship with him.

Yan Xi clicked on Zhang Yu's contact card, there were 4 phone numbers in it, how much can this product change mobile phone numbers, call in turn from top to bottom, one is down, one is empty, one is not answered, and the last one is through, and Zhang Yu's laughing voice came from inside.

"Grandson, what are I doing with your grandfather?"
