Chapter 51: Salt the wound
When I walked into Tunzi, I didn't feel the New Year's atmosphere at all. It's already the 27th of the lunar month, and I can't hear a single firecracker explosion, and there is not a single child on the avenue. I remember when we were young, all the children would get together, and everyone would have a bag of firecrackers in their pockets, holding a half-lit incense stick in their hands, and from time to time there would be an explosion of firecrackers from every corner. There are all kinds of firecrackers, there is a fall on the sound, a pull on the sound, there is also a stroke, like a match thrown out will sound, at that time there is a very small straw whip, I dare to directly use the hand to put it, the happiest thing is to buy a new set of clothes, at that time, I will always buy me a new set of green military uniforms every New Year, put on the outside of the padded jacket to wear are very large, I and my younger brother a little older to know, so that I can wear it for my younger brother after wearing, because the green military uniform is strong, not bad. In the summer, we go up to the mountains to pick mushrooms and bracken, and in the autumn we go to the river to catch toads. Adults always sell all these things when we are away from school, and then fool us into saying that the money will be saved for us first, and then we will buy new clothes when the time comes.
I walked through the Fangshan of Uncle Huang's house, and saw the courtyard of my house, the yard was clean, the firewood was neatly stacked, I saw that the plastic sheets on the windows were new, and the gate had been repaired, and my mood was much better. I pushed open the door and stepped into the courtyard, just as someone pushed open the door of the house and walked out.
It's a boy's sweater, blue, hand-knitted, about the same age as his brother, I don't think he's wearing a coat, he shouldn't be going far, he has a flat head, his eyes are not big, he is not tall, but he looks very stocky. At the same time I saw him, he also saw me, he turned around and went back to the house, my feeling was that he knew who I was, and was deliberately avoiding me, and I knew in my own heart that this boy was probably the child of Uncle Wang. He must have heard of me, so why should he avoid me? Am I that scary? But on the other hand, it's okay to think about it, I want you to always tighten a string in your heart, and always understand that as long as I am here, you can't do whatever you want, including your mother, of course. I opened the door of the outhouse, and my mother was standing next to the pot table cooking, and when she saw me enter the house, my mother jumped up and hugged me, and tears fell. She started counting me down and asking me why I didn't come back after being on vacation for so long. Huang Rong has already returned. Mom scolded me for scolding me for only pretending to be dad and not pretending to be her in my heart, and scolded me for being a white-eyed wolf, my mother pointed to the boy and introduced me to it, introducing that it was Uncle Wang's child, whose name was Wang Sicheng. My mother introduced me to Wang Sicheng again, and Sicheng respectfully called out to my eldest brother, and I told my mother that I went to my aunt's house considering that I didn't have any work at home in winter, and I happened to finish my winter vacation homework there.
When I was alone with my brother at night, my brother told me that a few days ago, my mother found some respected old people in the tunzi and set up a few tables of banquets at home, and his affair with Uncle Wang was like this, and Uncle Wang had nothing, so he moved into our house with his children.
When I went to bed at night, my brother and I, as well as Wang Sicheng, the three of us slept in the West House, my mother and Uncle Wang slept in the East House, after a few days of contact, I found that Wang Sicheng this child is really good, he is very quiet, and very eye-catching, the big and small work at home is almost all done by him, especially the outside yard and firewood for the fire, almost all of them are wrapped by him alone, he never says much, very little, stay fine, when I do it, I will find a few extracurricular books I have read, Find a corner that won't disturb others and read quietly. Wang Sicheng can not only do outside work, but also cook, stir-fry and steam steamed buns. The relationship between him and his younger brother is not bad, usually when they are together, the younger brother talks a lot, and Wang Sicheng can do anything, he will not care about taking advantage of losses, Wang Sicheng's performance and personality made me dispel the little bit of vigilance that I still had.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I went to my neighbors' houses to pay New Year's greetings as usual. I went to a few houses, and everyone kindly reminded me that I must have more eyes, don't get too close to Uncle Wang, and keep these three tiled houses no matter what, so that I can keep them for my brother and my brother to marry in the future. On the surface, I want to show gratitude for the reminder of others, but I am very depressed in my heart, I have been to several New Year's greetings, they almost unanimously reminded me, we must keep the three tiled houses, can not let the family rob them, people also have a son, when the time comes, robbed to give their own son to the marriage, I feel bitter, so many years of neighbors, you can't say something else, don't sprinkle salt on my wound? I simply went home and picked up a book I bought at the stall, went to the kang in the east house, and put my feet under the chop down, my family usually receives people in the west house, and the east house usually has few people entered, and it has not been burned before, it has been empty, and now it is because of Uncle Wang, so this house has begun to burn people.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I began to do physical training according to what I said on the phone number 1 that day. I train for two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening. At night, before going to bed, three sets of squats, three sets of sit-ups, and three sets of push-ups. Although this thing sounds a little strange, I always recall the tone of his voice on the phone at that time, and the tone of his voice is domineering and irresistible. When the school starts, I have to go to the Academic Affairs Office to find out how many military schools there are in the country. I'm going to see which one is right for me, and during this time I draw my dreams every night before I go to bed.
