Chapter 9 Trembling, entering the park for an interview

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. ——[Qing] Cao Xueqin, "Dream of Red Mansions"

After that family dinner, we went to my grandmother's house every three or five days. Probably the old man is lonely, grandma aunt and grandma are very happy every time they see us go back, my aunt and I are also happy to often run to my aunt and their courtyard to play chess with my grandmother, after all, the old man is old, not easy to move, so there is nothing except to worship the Buddha and chant the scriptures is to enjoy the joy of family with our two dolls. These days I learned chess, checkers, backgammon...... However, if I only understand the rules, I can't talk about being able to strategize.

During this period, I also caught up with the wonders of my grandmother's house - the three elders celebrated their birthdays together. Only in this month, first is grandma's birthday, half a month later is grandma's birthday, during which one day is grandma's birthday, everyone respects her old man, so the birthdays of the three are concentrated on grandma's birthday together, of course, it is inevitable that a song and dance will be leveled, and the whole family will celebrate together. During this banquet, I met my aunt and aunt-in-law who came from other places to celebrate her birthday. I'm ashamed to say it, because I'm afraid to look directly at people, and I can't remember the appearance of my aunt clearly, but because I saw the photos at the time afterwards, I still have some impressions - thin, wearing glasses, and looking very gentle, but these two have lived in other places for a long time, and I don't have a deep relationship with them, so I just passed by here. The reason why I want to introduce them is to prevent readers from having the same question as me when I was a child, why there are only second and third aunts in my aunt's hometown, but I don't see my aunt.

Since my uncle moved to my house, he slept in the living room with me, he went out early and returned late every day, his face became more and more haggard, it seemed that the study pressure in the health school was not small, of course, I didn't know at that time, because the economic ability of the mine was limited, and the aunt and grandfather, Dean Wang, were willing to make friends at the wine table, so people often used IOUs to pay for medical expenses, so Dean Wang's wine table scenery, in fact, the hospital was unable to make ends meet, struggling. In addition, the aunt and grandfather were born in traditional Chinese medicine and internal medicine, and the only son who should inherit his mantle was going to study Western medicine and surgery. My uncle helped in his own hospital when he was a child, so he didn't have much savings, and he was worried about tuition fees during this time. These are what my mother told me many years later, and of course in the end, it was the uncle who paid for it because my mother lived in my aunt's house when she was in school and had a brotherly relationship with her children.

Time flies, and one night after the moon.

"Baby, go to bed early tonight, and tomorrow Mom will take you to kindergarten." I obediently got into the bed, and my mind flashed back to the previous entrance exam in the village, thinking that this time I must fight hard and take the test well. "By the way, I can't go to school in the future, I can't do it anymore, it's all taught by your grandfather, and when others hear it, they are from the countryside." Mom interrupted my train of thought. "Oh, I don't know." At the age of 5, I don't understand the gap between the rich and the poor, the comparison of background and inferiority complex, naturally I don't know what is wrong with me, but I am used to obeying her, she asked me to change me, and then it was a painful memory, I took half a year to correct it, and it also caused me to be an adult I am still a little allergic to "me".

The next day, it wasn't too early, it was about 9 o'clock, and we just got up, and my mother was only in my grade at the time, and I didn't work, so it wasn't easy for her to get up early. Still dressed and washed downstairs to have breakfast, I was already familiar with the road, ordered a soy milk fritters, mainly because soy milk can be sweetened, I always have to add 5 spoons before I stop, fritters soaked in soy milk to eat, sweet and crispy, delicious in the world. The owner of the breakfast shop was already surprised by the way I ate it, and for the first few days he told my children not to eat too much sugar, and to look at their big pangnats (my cavities), and later when the soy milk was served, the sugar was already put away.

After eating and drinking, my mother led me around the community, and saw a few kindergartens, it was not early, everyone was in class, so every time I went to a house, I would always attract the eyes of the whole room when I entered the classroom, and I could only hide behind my mother to get better. Of course, this was only when I went to the first house, and the teacher saw that I was scared and immediately ordered the other children to play with themselves, and they were not allowed to look at this side, so I was able to relax a little. Out of the door of the first house, my mother said to me seriously: "Don't be so clamped (1), just now people said that the child is full, and it will not be recruited, I guess it is because you are too far away (2)." People don't want you, go to the next one and you give me trouble (3) points, don't you listen?! I was aggrieved by this sudden reproach, and sobbed and sobbed, "Look at your little bit of interest, you won't be able to cry in the next house for a while, shame on me, do you hear?!" "This time, before I could answer, I was dragged away. I wondered in my heart, this woman is usually so good to me, why did she turn her face so quickly, and I didn't feel a little afraid of my mother.

After looking at two more houses, I endured the burning eyes of everyone, and finally got what I wanted, the teacher said that I could first follow the middle class, learn some simple basics, after thanking the teacher, I was taken by my mother to buy stationery, a small school bag, a pencil case, a few pens, a few pinyin books, and one of my favorites - magnetic drawing board.

The magnetic drawing board is amazing, I immediately love it when I go home, its magic is that I can't write with other pens, I can only use the pen in the pen slot above it to write, there is a small handle below, no matter how to graffiti on it, as long as I push the handle, it immediately becomes a whiteboard piece, I lay on it and drew for a long time, and began to study the principle. The whiteboard is made up of dense hexagons, which are tightly fitted, I tried to paint the drawing board all over black, but found that there are always gaps, and when I looked closely, I found that the edges of the hexagons were colorless, and the black in the middle was some black powder, and when I tried to paint it with the tip of the pen in circles on it, I found that the black powder below would move with the tip of the pen. Push the handle below,The drawing board turns white again.,But it's not absolute.,Like when I just painted so full.,Push the drawing board once and it will still be gray residue.,You have to push it back and forth several times to be clean.。。

So I started the idea of magic eraser (4) again, I found that if you don't put it in place, it is impossible to blacken the entire drawing board, there is always a white edge in the middle, and every time the tip of the pen moves to the white edge, it always pops off inexplicably, I studied for a long time, and I roughly know the principle, the pen will suck up the black powder, and the magic eraser will sweep the black powder down. When I was young, I didn't understand magnetism, so I could only draw such a simple conclusion, which I just thought was amazing. ⑤
