Chapter 25 is a blockbuster
My grandmother was lying flat on the floor of the outhouse, her expression was serene, and it was the first time I had seen the deceased old man up close. I wasn't sad or scared.
On the morning of the third day, my grandmother went out of the funeral and returned home after the funeral, there were many people in my grandmother's house, many distant relatives who I didn't know and had never moved before. I went directly to the third uncle's house, and several aunts, aunts and cousins were all at the third uncle's house.
The second aunt sat on the edge of the kang, crying, and blamed herself: I saw the old lady in front of my sister-in-law's woolen stall on Monday morning, and she told me that I had a dream the night before, and I dreamed that my father came to take her, and she followed my father to a place and entered a house, which was very small and dirty, and my mother helped him clean up, but the house was not clean. When my mother told me this, I just thought it was a dream, and I didn't take it to heart, so I just had to find someone who understood it and take a look. Hearing the second aunt say this, the people in the house at that time were quiet. My father in my second aunt's mouth refers to my grandfather who has passed away for decades.
That night, my cousin had a dream, and my grandmother wanted to take her out to play, and on the morning of the second day, she told the eldest mother about this dream, and the eldest mother was so frightened that she hurriedly found the eldest fairy to show her.
After my grandmother died, I moved to live in my uncle's house, and I shared a room with my cousin, who was very good to me, no matter what I bought, as long as it was for my cousin, I had my share. My cousin attends high school in the county and comes back once a week.
Uncle's temper is very irritable, the aunt said a word is not his mind, he got angry, we live in the room and the aunt live in the middle of the room only separated by a wall of fire, whenever the uncle and the aunt quarrel, the aunt directly knocked on the wall of fire with her hands, I heard the sound of the wall of fire, I knew that the uncle was scolding again, so I went to their room, the uncle heard my footsteps and quickly shut up and pretended to sleep.
Every Saturday, the eldest lady has to go to other provinces to buy goods. Stay there overnight and come back on Sunday. Monday is the market, so on Sunday, she has to wrap all the wool she brings in from other provinces into a ball with a hand-cranked simple machine, so that she can take it to the market on Monday. My tablemate sells eggs at the market on Mondays, and she raises chickens.
When I was in the third year of junior high school, my cousin also dropped out of school, and my uncle's family had to go to a far away place to contract a farm, so I moved again, and moved to my aunt's house, which is my mother's aunt, the one who matched my father and mother together, and my aunt's family has a house that is rented out to children who go to school in the ditch, and my aunt cooks for them, and I choose to live at my aunt's house, because I know several of the students who live there. Living at my aunt's house, 180 yuan a month, a car of firewood a year, when I lived at my grandmother and uncle's house, it seemed that I didn't give anything.
When I was in the third year of junior high school, only my daughter and Uncle Huang's daughter were left in the class of our original primary school. The distance from Hongxing Town to Yansong is farther than to the 8th group, and after arriving at the 8th group from Hongxing Town, you can walk along the dirt road and ride a bicycle for another half an hour to reach Yansong. I can walk with them every Saturday when I get home.
There are a total of 9 students living in my aunt's house, and except for one, the other 8 of us are all from the same class and have a common topic. Among our 9 students, there was a student named Xinbo, whose name was the same as the Lion King in the very popular cartoon at the time, so we all called him the Lion King, and at that time he was simply a god among us, in terms of appearance, he was well-proportioned and angular from the school sports team. This guy not only studies well, he can be ranked in the top 20 in the whole grade, the whole school organizes a singing competition, he has a white scarf around his neck, a song Zhang Mingmin's My Chinese Heart, and the female classmates sitting in the audience scream. The lion king is the main middle-distance runner of the school sports team, every afternoon after school, they have to train on the playground of the middle school for a period of time before going home, the physical education teacher who leads the school team to train is just graduated from the sports school, but also from other places, he lives in the school dormitory, and is also our physical education teacher.
My aunt's family lives in the northernmost part of Hongxing Town, and the middle school is in the southernmost part of Hongxing Town, and the distance between the two places is a bit far, so every day after school, I don't go, I wait at school, and wait for the lion king to go back with him after training.
When I was in the third year of junior high school, the classroom of my class was moved to the top floor of the school building, and every afternoon after school, I watched the lion kings train through the window. Suddenly, one day, a new project trained by a few people on the side struck me. I saw it on the TV of Mr. Song's house before, this thing is called a javelin, at that time, across the TV, I felt that I could skim far away, which was much better than the Mao Ke pole, forty or fifty meters away from my yard, there was a small piece of land, I stood in the ground every autumn, and threw the Mao Ke pole into the yard one by one. The quality of the hairy pole is too light and the wind blows, and the javelin looks heavier than the hairy pole, it should be better than the hairy pole, when there is a chance to meet the javelin, you must try, why haven't you seen anyone in the school team practicing javelin before? I hurried downstairs.
The runway where I practiced javelin, I wanted to try. The PE teacher saw me running over and asked me what I was doing. When I explained my intentions, the physical education teacher pouted at me and said, "Look at you, you are malnourished and thin like a knifeman." Looking at the physical education teacher's contemptuous expression, I said angrily: Teacher, you are not a good teacher. These words of yours are going to kill a javelin champion, don't look at me thin, my bones are full of meat. The PE teacher saw that I insisted again and again, and finally said to me: Okay, okay, I'll let you try, but let's say okay, if you can't skim 30 meters. Don't leave for a while, just stay here and pick up javelins for them. I said to the PE teacher, I can't throw 30 meters, I said to the PE teacher: Teacher, if I can't throw 30 meters, let alone today, I will pick it up for you in the future, then teacher, what if I throw more than 50 meters? My words caused a burst of laughter from the classmates around me, we all know each other, and they all make fun of me.
The physical education teacher smiled and nodded his chin to the javelins on the ground and said: If you can throw more than 50 meters, I will give you a place for sports students in the county key high school this year. I was stunned for a moment and carefully digested what the physical education teacher said, and I called all the students who were practicing other projects around, which was a place in the county key high school, and I couldn't give the physical education teacher a chance to regret it. I told the classmates who had just come up about my bet with the PE teacher, and the classmates were all coaxing on the side, and the PE teacher urged me to hurry up, don't delay the time, and let me be ready to check the javelin for them.
The direction in which the javelin is thrown, there are meters marked with white gray. I picked up a javelin on the ground and weighed it with my hands, it was heavier than I expected, but not much more powerful than I expected. After a few steps, I threw the javelin out with all my might, and I stood still and watched the javelin fly at a perfect angle, and we all watched the javelin fly in the sky, over 30 meters, 40 meters, 50 meters, and then the head of the gun made a hole in the ground, and then I heard the sound of the javelin falling to the ground.
