08 Bicycles
The prince, who was repeating the third grade, almost repeated another grade, and Carpenter Wang approached me and asked me to help the prince with his homework in the evening. I agreed, and I was anxious to see the prince like this.
I wanted the prince to come to my house, but Jinhua asked me to go to her house, saying that I was afraid of being alone at night.
After two days of visiting, I knew that she was still afraid that I would be alone with the prince. For if the prince and I were not there, she was not alone at home: she waited until the king carpenter returned. She also asked me and the prince to do homework next to her, and now I have seen her through, so I am not afraid of her, and after entering junior high school, I have more homework, and I can only finish tutoring the prince as soon as possible and then go home to be my own.
Judging from the prince's reflection, he usually doesn't pay attention at all in class, and I'm worried that it won't be effective. Fortunately, God has eyes, at the end of the fourth grade, he actually passed both Chinese and mathematics, and by the fifth grade, he was above 80.
Carpenter Wang was very happy and gave me a brand new and beautiful women's bicycle.
Of course I didn't want it, because I thought I had just guessed the question by luck, and I was going to live in the third year of junior high school in the town's key class, and I didn't have time to teach the prince anymore.
But Carpenter Wang said that you need it to go back and forth every week.
I said that I would only use such a beautiful bicycle once a week, and it would be a pity that I would return it or exchange it for a men's one for the prince.
The king carpenter said you can use it with your mother, but the prince is not interested in things on land.
I laughed - now every family in the village also has a men's bicycle, and the children over the age of ten in the village are almost learning to ride a bicycle during the summer vacation, but the prince doesn't even want to touch the bicycle, and spends his days fishing behind the house.
When school started, I rode my bike to town every Sunday evening, parked it in my mother's silk weaving factory, and my mother put it back at school around Friday (it turned out that my mother shared one with my father) and I rode home on Saturday. It's really easy to have a bike, and it used to take me 45 minutes to walk home from town, but now it takes 20 minutes.
I go home every weekend and still tutor Prince. At first, there was a bicycle factor, but then I felt that it was when I coached the prince that I felt that I had a sense of existence.
As soon as I entered the key class, my grades went downhill. I guess I'm more suitable for solitude and self-directed study, accommodation and studying all day and night according to the teacher's requirements, which I am not used to. Walking downhill together, as well as my eyesight, I often stared blankly at the overlapping words on the blackboard.
After the high school entrance examination, my parents were disappointed that I could not be admitted to the middle school teacher who could change the hukou in the city, but Carpenter Wang was very happy that I could go to high school. He volunteered to take me to Suzhou Hospital, where he knew an intern.
That intern doctor is Li Jianmin, the little brother of the mute Yinhua.
At the beginning, because of the mute Yinhua's husband Genming, Wang Carpenter did not thank Yinhua in person, but he always remembered his kindness.
For a while, Liu Jiazhuang was asked to build a building one after another, and he found her house. He saw that the dumb Yinhua did not have a bicycle and a watch, and it was very inconvenient to commute to work, so he bought it and sent it over. Yinhua gestured and insisted on not to, and her mother-in-law also said that her son had caused a big disaster, and they had no face to accept it. Carpenter Wang said that these were two different things, and he was returning the favor. Her mother-in-law said that if Gen Ming saw it, he would definitely take it to gamble, and you should either send the watch and bicycle to Yinhua's younger brother who is in college.
In this way, Carpenter Wang met Li Jianmin, the bicycle was inconvenient to get to Suzhou, and the second was more feminine than a watch, so he gave it to me.
I was indifferent to the things around me because I felt very painful about the next three years of boarding high school, and maybe because the carpenter Wang who was traveling with me at that time was also very dark, so I had no impression at all when I saw Li Jianmin who was shiny black four years later.
However, during the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school, I still had a very happy time: because of the glasses, Carpenter Wang took me to Xinhua Bookstore again, and in addition to buying me a set of exercise books, he also bought me a detective book. I studied the detective book three times, and I didn't change a single question in the workbook.
