Chapter 31 Childlike Love at Heart
Fang Ming hugged Bai Ling tightly, and the happiness in front of him reminded him of his childhood. He told Bai Ling about his childhood again.
Every year after the beginning of spring, the weather becomes warmer. At night, we friends played hide and seek under the old locust tree. During the day, we went to the edge of the village to fly kites. These lands on the edge of the village are the best in the village. These fields can grow wheat, and the yield is relatively high, and the yield per mu is more than 100 catties. At this time, in the wheat field, there are our little friends everywhere. Under the white clouds and blue sky, all kinds of kites are flying. The wheat has not yet returned to green, and it is not afraid of being trampled. My friends also know that it is not easy to farm, and once the wheat begins to turn green, no one will go to the wheat field to fly a kite again.
The kites flying in the sky are all made by ourselves. Because of the lack of transportation, no one comes here to sell kites. Even if someone comes to sell, we can't afford it because of poverty. We do it ourselves, using local materials. Tugang Village is a water village, and there is no shortage of reeds in the water. We make the skeleton of a kite out of the scorn of the reed. Then paste a thin layer of window paper, and draw a pattern on it. Such kites also have a tail, which is connected with old strips of cloth. This tail is too light or too heavy. We adjust the length and weight of the tail while putting it.
The easiest kite to make is to make a hexagonal or octagonal shape, and use two equilateral triangles to be staggered and bundled together to form a hexagon, and in the same way, two squares are staggered and bundled together to become an octagon; If it is more complicated, it will be made into various birds and butterflies. Some of them are made into a big centipede, and their long bodies are swaying from side to side, which is really attractive.
Don't look at how much it takes to make a kite, you have to send a kite to the sky, it embodies the love of your parents. The kite string needs to be spun by the mother herself, or the father will figure it out. If parents can't do anything, no matter how good the kite is, it won't be able to fly into the sky. A small kite embodies the hard work of the whole family and reflects the peace and harmony of family life.
A kite flies in the blue sky, not only a childlike heart, but also a heart, but also fly out of the warmth of a small family. Not all children have the time to play like we do.
The children of the poor are in charge of the household at an early age, and some of our peers become women and men at an early age, taking care of all the household chores.
Xiao Qing is such a boy. He and we are both peers. He has no sister or sister, he is the eldest and eldest son in the family, and there is a little brother below. He rarely plays with us. It's not that he's unsociable, it's the tedious chores that hold him back.
Xiao Qing's parents were originally hard-working and capable people in the whole village. They are also very fond of their children. Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred, and the couple fell seriously ill one after another. Later, although he was able to save his life, he became in poor health and often fell ill. At a young age, Xiao Qing picked up the burden of life, and he had to do all the work at home, and he didn't have a time to stop all day long. Not only did he do the work that men should do, but he also learned to do what girls should do. He never dared to stay outside for a while, he saw us playing happily, just stood with a smile and hurried home in just a few minutes.
Once, he was passing by the edge of the village and stopped when he saw us flying a kite in a wheat field. I immediately shouted loudly: "Xiao Qing, come, fly my kite." ”
He hurried over and reached out to take my kite string. He smiled happily: "Brother Fang, it feels so good to fly a kite here." ”
When the bobcats and Dapeng looked at it, they almost simultaneously issued an invitation: "Xiao Qing, come and fly my kite." ”
So Xiao Qing ran to the child's side, reached out and grabbed the kite string and pulled it. He ran to the kid again and pulled the kite string with his hand......
"It's good, it's good. Thank you, thank you. It's time for me to go back. ”
He trotted home. Looking at his back, the friends all felt sour in their hearts, full of sympathy for Xiao Qing, and at the same time, they felt how happy they were.
Although Xiao Qing can't play with us, sometimes he can go down to the river with us to catch fish and fish.
"Xiao Qing, come to me." I gave him the best fishing spot.
"Thank you, Brother Fang." Xiao Qing sat next to me and set off the hook.
The fish caught by Xiao Qing were all eaten by his parents and younger brother first. Sometimes, he doesn't even taste a bite.
After understanding this situation, whenever we see Xiao Qing coming to fish, a few of our good friends will put the fish they caught in Xiao Qing's fish basket first. The aim is to get it home early to take care of its sick parents.
Xiao Qing was often at a loss at this time: "Brother Fang, Brother Bobcat, Brother Dapeng...... You ...... I'm embarrassed to see you in the future." ......
"You're welcome, take it. It's nothing, don't be busy, we can't help, this little favor can help......
We comforted Xiao Qing and couldn't let him have an inferiority complex. We did a little favor, but we couldn't let it be overbearing.
"Xiao Qing, if there is a job that our children can do at home, you can speak. We can all go and help. You can't exhaust yourself, the whole family depends on you.
We're young, but if you put yourself in their shoes, you'll understand how difficult it is for each other......
Xiao Qing watched everyone make so many fish for him, he really didn't know what to do. Everyone's love was so much that he was moved speechless.
"Xiao Qing, go back quickly. There's a lot of work to do at home......"
We found Xiao Qing under the stairs and urged him to go home quickly.
Later, as soon as Xiao Qing came to the river to fish, the friends scrambled to greet him: "Xiao Qing, come to me." ”
"Xiao Qing, come to me......"
Everyone is vying to give Xiaojing the best position.
There is also love in childlike innocence, and this love comes from our sincere childlike heart.
Memories of childhood are beautiful and happy.
