When Cao'er's father taught his daughter to learn to write Chinese characters, he first wrote Yun and Feng characters in the Tian character grid and taught his daughter to read them, and then he held his daughter's hand and taught her to write the two characters Yunfeng.

In the strokes that moved with the power of her father's pen, Cao'er wondered how her father would teach her to write the name of her brother next door. The brother next door has a sharp word in his nickname.

But her father told her that Yun was her surname and Feng was her name, and her name was Yun Feng from then on. It was obviously a boy's name, but she didn't dare to resist, so she had to remember it silently in her heart, and she was silently confused and shy about the name that her boys tended to.

When school finally started, my father bought a yellow leather backpack with two white art words "Shanghai" written on the leather surface, and a pencil case with a white and pink blue Snow White leather sponge lid. Grandma Cao'er happily put Cao'er's gift for the beginning of school on the bed and pointed it out to her granddaughter:

"Good grass, look at the new schoolbag your father gave you, double buckles on your shoulders, this yellow, and two beautiful big characters!"

Grandma caressed her granddaughter's new schoolbag lovingly and continued to praise:

"Look, this pencil case is leather, and there's a sponge in it! Yo, look, the magnet's, the black plastic surface inside is divided into a lot of grids, hey, you see, this is the pen, this is the ruler, this is the eraser......"

Cao'er followed her grandmother's guidance and stepped forward to watch, but she couldn't feel the kind of cherishing and joy of grandma.

This can't be blamed on Cao'er, she naturally has a weak desire for material things, and for going to school, as early as a year ago, she heard the big sister next door, who was already in the third grade, lament how hard it was to go to school. The eldest sister told her that going to school was much harder than doing farm work. As a result, she was full of fear of going to school, and her heart began to resist going to school, thinking that she would rather work with her uncles and aunts than go to school.

Fortunately, her father took her to learn to write, and she dispelled some of the ignorance of going to school and being instilled by others.

Now my grandmother told me how beautiful the schoolbag was, how beautiful the pencil case was, and she had no idea of grass, and now she was even more indifferent when she thought of going to school.

However, grandma said that the brothers and sisters next door, as well as the children of whomever in the village, all carry an army green single-strap linen schoolbag to school, and Cao'er still thinks, why is her different from them?!

In order to adapt to the life of the beginning of school, my father has long stipulated that Cao'er must go to bed at nine o'clock at night, which means that Cao'er and grandma can't watch the TV series that starts at nine o'clock in the evening, and the grandparents have changed from sleeping after seeing the TV station stop broadcasting at eleven or twelve o'clock at night to the habit of honestly going to the room to sleep after the TV series starts at nine o'clock.

On the day of school registration, Cao'er's grandmother put on a lotus lotus-colored white polka dot over-the-knee short-sleeved skirt given by her little cousin in the city, and the white lace on the white lotus leaf collar and skirt was washed snow-white, and the yellow backpack was put on her granddaughter's back. Cao'er's father held the bicycle and asked his daughter to follow him out of the house and out of the gate of the village hall.

Walking to the dirt and sand road at the head of the village, the father stopped the car and put it away, put his daughter in the back seat of the car, let the daughter help her to help, and walked to the dirt road at the head of the village with his daughter's bicycle on his own hand.

"You go to school to study hard, you know?"

The father, who was holding the front of the car, told his daughter in the back seat.

"Hmm."

The daughter responded quietly.

"Listen carefully in class, don't talk, don't get distracted, and don't mess with your classmates. Do your homework when you get home. ”

"Hmm."

"Don't be late."

"Hmm."

After the father finished telling him, he lifted his foot and stepped over the bar of the men's bicycle and rode his daughter to school to sign up. But with this advice, Cao'er did not arrive late or leave early for six years, and the first thing she did when she went home in the afternoon was to complete her homework. It's a promise to his father.

On the first day of class in the new semester, Cao'er went to school with her brother next door, who was in the third grade, and her grandmother asked him to help take care of Cao'er on the way to and from school.

When I arrived at school, Cao'er didn't know how to get into the classroom. The teacher is a female teacher, who is said to be their homeroom teacher, who teaches Chinese and mathematics, physical education, and labor classes. What is the teacher's surname, what does it look like, the grass didn't see clearly, but I remember that the teacher said to let everyone get familiar with it first, and I saw the classmates around me began to sleep on the table, and I also felt sleepy, so I also fell down and slept all morning, came back at noon and finished lunch, and went to sleep on my stomach in the afternoon.

When she came back from school, her grandmother asked her, what did she learn today?

Without thinking, she replied, "Sleep!" "I don't think school is fun at all, and sleeping with an unfamiliar adult and a group of children of the same size who I don't know is really listless.

The next day, the teacher started the lesson. The students no longer slept on their desks, but sat straight and began to listen to the teacher's lectures with their heads held high.

There are four rows of desks and chairs in the classroom, divided into four groups, and each long table seats two people, one boy and one girl. Cao'er was placed in the second row of the second group in the middle of the classroom, and at the same table was a short boy with a thick square head and square face. This is the best position in the class, and the teacher takes special care of her. For the sake of his daughter, the father greeted the school teachers early in the morning and asked them to take care of them, but Cao'er didn't know about it.

Going to school is not as hard as Cao'er heard before, but it is much more interesting than working.

The classmates in the class are all school-age children from villages within a radius of 10 miles. These children all go to and from school in the same village.

When Cao'er went to school, she mostly walked with her neighbor's brother in the same row of her house, and sometimes when she walked to the head of the village, she would meet other school classmates from the same village. After school, in addition to walking with my brother, I also began to walk with my classmates from the same village. Slowly, on the way home from school together, Cao'er began to have two good friends.

At school, Cao'er and her two good friends, the biggest fun is that as soon as they arrive in the class, they start a writing competition of three people to see who writes correctly and well, and the other students choose one of the three to be a cheerleader.

"Come on! Come on! Come on! “

In the classroom, the cheerleaders shouted higher and higher.

But in the end, the winner is not too proud. When they finished writing, they all breathed a sigh of relief to each other and said, "It's done!" “

Then, the three of them will take the words they wrote in the Tian character grid and the exchange with the other two, praising each other's good writing, and comparing the advantages and disadvantages of themselves and each other.

But their respective cheerleading teams are not so atmospheric, and they are vying to comment on the winning points of the speed, neatness and aesthetics of the words written by their idols.

For this reason, Cao'er's class is well-known in the whole school. My father also knew, and my grandmother also knew, and the three of them became closer and friendlier, and they often visited each other during the holidays.

The two good friends and Cao'er have also become the darlings in the eyes of the teacher, and they perform well in the class and have good academic performance.

But Cao'er's greatest pleasure is playing with two good friends, and she doesn't care about the difference between her grades and scores and her good friends.

It wasn't until the end of the first midterm exam that my father called Cao'er to him.

"Are the results out?"

My father didn't have a particularly serious face, but he didn't smile either.

"It's out."

Cao'er honestly took out the exam paper and showed it to her father.

"Did you win the prize?"

"Nope."

"Do any of your classmates win awards?"

"Yes."

"Then you can take one too?"

"Okay, then I'll get a first prize."

"No, step by step, you get a third prize in the final exam, a second prize in the midterm exam next semester, and a first prize and a good student award in the final exam, and you will keep it in the future."

Hearing that his daughter immediately said that she wanted to win the first prize, her father's face was full of smiles. But I didn't want to put too much pressure on my daughter, so I set a goal for my daughter lovingly and clearly.

"Hmm."

The grass followed as usual.

So, everything was as his father expected, Cao'er promised, Cao'er from the third prize at the end of the period to the first prize at the end of the second semester and the three good student awards, since then, the wall above the TV cabinet at home has been plastered with Cao'er's awards one by one, and the traces have been clear for decades. It was the pride on my grandmother's face and mouth, and the pride in my father's heart. It was also a role model for later cousins and cousins.
