116 Let's go shopping
At noon today, four or five of us went out shopping together, and the location of the cram school was just around the block. Walk through a long alley to take a shortcut, so you can reach the street in less than three minutes.
It's lunch break, there's no one on the street, and some shops are still open, but the owner looks groggy and has no energy.
A few of us little ghosts, jumping up and down the street, did not feel tired at all, although there was no money in our pockets, but we were very happy to see the dazzling array of goods.
Shopping with friends, the happier thing is to walk and chat, the purpose is not strong, jumping from West Street to East Street, South Street to North Street on the street.
The streets in our town are very narrow and narrow.
Originally, the road was not narrow, but the merchants would open face to face, and they would set up a stall in front of their store and put a variety of goods on it, and both families did this, leaving only four people to pass through the intersection.
We walked on such a narrow road, we could not walk side by side, we could only walk in pairs. Wang Liu's little hand and I held small hands, and several other boys followed.
This street, strictly speaking, the reason why this township, and even this large area of people, can settle here, recuperate, and nurse future generations is because there is a long river here, which bends and stretches.
On both sides of the river, our ancestors built houses here, and slowly it became a street, and the river is so long and long, the street is upstream, and the downstream is our villages and towns.
Hundreds of acres of rice fields are irrigated by this river, and the big river is subdivided into small rivers, which lead to various farmlands.
Flowing like blood, this river doesn't know how old it is, and for as long as I can remember, it seems to have flowed for a hundred years.
When the family gathered around the table to eat, he would always look at the fish, clip the most tender piece to me, smile lovingly, and say: "When we were young, there were a lot of fish in the river, and they were all caught with a dustpan.
At that time, the river water was really clear, and it was not as polluted as it is now......
The wild fish caught in the river are all very delicious, and a few can stew a large pot of delicious fish soup, and I and a few of you uncles rushed to drink it.
At that time, raising children was similar to raising piglets......"
As soon as my dad said it, he couldn't hold it back, listening to the word "piglet", I was excited, and the fish piece in my mouth was not careful, and a fish bone pierced my gums.
"Oops......"
I called, clutching my cheeks.
"What's wrong, this is?" My mom asked nervously.
"Prick your teeth......" I muttered, opening my mouth to show my mother.
My mom carefully picked out the fish bones for me and said, "Why are you so careless?" ”
I touched my cheeks and said, "It's not my dad yet, what kind of piglet...... I'm not a piglet! ”
I looked at my dad mischievously and said with some complaint.
"You kid, now that the living conditions are so good, have you ever suffered the hardships of our time...... Hey, but it's good to live a good life now, but this fish is not as delicious as when I was a child, and the river is not clear......"
Dad took a piece of fish and sighed as he ate.
"There is too much white garbage, and no one in the town plans to ......" Ling Ming, who was silent, actually said a word.
My mother looked at him and said, "Yes, the garbage on the street is all poured into this river, and the dirty water and floating objects upstream are piled up downstream of us, it's really dirty."
I don't even dare to go to the river to wash my clothes now, for fear of some strange disease, so dirty water, I don't dare to reach out when I look at it......"
My mom shuddered as she spoke, then turned to look at my dad and asked, "Did you buy this fish in the wild?" ”
My dad shook his head and said, "This must be raised, this fish is so fat, how can it be wild and fit." ”
My mom patted her chest and said, "That's good, that's good, don't buy any wild fish, this river is so polluted, what if you eat it and get cancer?" ”
A fish, originally a delicacy, but it bears the changes of the river water for decades, the crystal clear river water, become dirty, bubbling with green bubbles, and it makes people look terrible.
We have gone from yearning for wild fish to revering wild fish.
I was on the bridge, looking at the piles of white garbage on the riverbank, torn clothes and shoes, and I couldn't help but lose my mind.
Wang Liu patted me on the shoulder and said, "Hey! What are you looking at? ”
I looked at the stains on the river, pointed to the pile of green bubbles, and asked, "What does a crystal clear river look like?" ”
She looked at the piece I was pointing at and said, "Probably, it's like the one in the book." ”
I was a little melancholy and said, "I don't remember if I ever saw a clear river when I was a child, but I know that my dad always told me how good the environment was when they were young, and I envied what they said." ”
"And what have you heard of one thing?" She looked at me and asked curiously.
"Huh? What's up? I continued to say curiously.
"They say that if we humans don't care for the environment anymore, our future children may only be able to see green mountains and cute pandas in books......" Her immature face flashed with sadness that she did not have at this age.
"This convenient bag is really not a good thing, it is not environmentally friendly at all, let's take good care of the environment." I touched her palm and said.
"Well, well, we also have to take good care of the environment." She took my hand and said.
"Let's go, let's go to that street, I want to buy a pair of shoes." She pointed to the street of clothes and shoes at the other bridge and smiled at me.
"Okay, let's go." The two of us walked towards that destination, and the boys behind us followed.
Boys seem to have a natural dislike of shopping, and they prefer Internet cafes and game consoles. I don't know where to buy clothes on a street, but if you ask them where there is an Internet café or a game console, they can definitely answer in three seconds.
"Hey, we don't want to go shopping." Zhu Hang was a little unhappy at first, and muttered, "We want to go to that friendship Internet café for a game, or you two girls go shopping." ”
The two boys in the back also followed, smiled knowingly, and gave him a "Your proposal is good" look.
Wang Liu pulled me, gave him a blank look, and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tell your mother, go quickly, don't miss the class time." ”
Zhu Hang smiled and said, "Hehe, thank you, cousin." Let's go, brothers, let's hurry up, there's still an hour to go. ”
He yelled at him, and we split up here, we went to Clothes Street, and they went to the other street, and there were two Internet cafes near the high school.
The two of us, picked three, bought shoes, and then returned to the place where the class was held, and there was still half an hour, so we hurried up to sit in our seats, lie on our stomachs, and take a nap.
