Chapter 3: Reminiscences
The autumn harvest season is over, the weather is gradually getting cooler, autumn is over, will winter be far away?
Yin Xiaoyu just lives day by day, doing some housework, eating, sleeping, the only fun is to watch the little friends who rush to school at the door of the house in the morning, and then wait until the evening to watch them leisurely and happily go home from school.
These friends are so cute, including Han Bing who went to school on time and came home from school, Han Bing is in the first grade, not tall, very thin, very well-behaved, but his mouth is very sweet, every time he passes by Yin Xiaoyu's house and sees Yin Xiaoyu, he will smile and shout "Hello sister." ”
Yin Xiaoyu has felt that Han Bing's younger brother is very well-behaved since he was a child, and he is very pleasing to the eye, but eleven-year-old Yin Xiaoyu and seven-year-old Han Bing would never have thought that they would actually marry Qin Jin in a few decades.
Yin Xiaoyu stayed at home for three years in ignorance, in these three years, Yin Xiaoyu in addition to watching her friends happily go back and forth between the village and the school, she also likes to read story books, only immersed in the story, Yin Xiaoyu felt that the days passed quickly, and it was three years in a blink of an eye.
Yin Xiaoyu is fourteen years old this year, she is slim, not tall, she can be called small and exquisite, she always feels that this life is not good, she should study at the age of study, even if she is a minor, no one dares to ask for it.
In 1994, the tuition fee in P City was reduced a lot, and Yin Xiaoyu's family could afford her tuition fee.
So, Yin Xiaoyu went to Mr. Zhou, the homeroom teacher of the fourth grade of the primary and secondary school in the village, and Mr. Zhou said, "Primary school and junior high school are compulsory education, and you are welcome to come to school at any time." ”
"Thank you, teacher." Yin Xiaoyu is just a child, she stays at home every day at the age of fourteen, she has never left the village, she doesn't know much about compulsory education, and she is not sure if she can go back to school after three years.
Hearing Teacher Zhou say this, Yin Xiaoyu was very excited, although it was a cold early spring, she felt how warm the world was and life was so beautiful.
Tomorrow she will be an elementary school student again, although she is a little older.
The next day, Yin Xiaoyu got up early to carry water and cut pigweed to sweep the floor, after everything was done, he saw his friends passing by the door one after another, Yin Xiaoyu picked up an old army green canvas bag, and straddled one shoulder diagonally to report to school.
On the once familiar way to school, Yin Xiaoyu hummed the song "The little girl who picks mushrooms, carrying a big bamboo basket on her back, walks through the forests and hills with bare feet in the early morning." ”
Just like the little girl picking mushrooms, Yin Xiaoyu is in a cheerful mood, she imagines how beautiful every day of reading will be in the future, she has to work harder to study and cherish every day, Yin Xiaoyu really loves to learn.
Thinking about it, he was so engrossed that he accidentally ran into a student, and he looked back, "Sister, why are you?" Do you go to school too?"
Yin Xiaoyu looked at it, it turned out to be Han Bing.
"Han Bing, I also want to go to school, and then study in the second half of the fourth grade."
"Good! Sister, we can go to school together and go home together in the future. ”
"Han Bing, my sister hasn't read the textbook for three years, and she has forgotten everything."
"Sister, you can review the textbooks you used to read at home every day after school, and if you don't understand, come to my house and ask me. It's good that my sister can read. ”
"It's better to be Brother Han Bing. Oh, Han Bing, here, you go to the classroom, I still have to report to the head teacher, I hope to be in the same class as you. My good brother, I'll see you in a moment. ”
Yin Xiaoyu came to the door of the office, he was a little nervous for some reason, he hadn't been to school for three years, was everything the same? Yin Xiaoyu plucked up the courage to walk into the office, and at a glance saw Teacher Zhou who was foreseen on the road yesterday, Teacher Zhou was smiling, amiable, like a mother, Yin Xiaoyu quickly relaxed and no longer a little nervous.
"Yin Xiaoyu, come here, simply fill in the information, and then the teacher will take you to class."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou."
Yin Xiaoyu was serious, carefully filled in the information, and read it repeatedly word by word, for fear of writing it wrong.
Teacher Zhou led Yin Xiaoyu to the fourth year class, the first table was Han Bing, Yin Xiaoyu greeted Han Bing with his eyes, and followed Teacher Zhou to the last row, after all, he was four years older than his classmates, a head taller, sitting in the class, obviously like a repeater.
Yin Xiaoyu sat in his seat, listened carefully to every word the teacher said, and completed the homework assigned by the teacher in a timely manner, but he kept feeling inferior, not because of studying, not because his family was poor, not because he was still in the fourth grade after three years, nor because he was only in the fourth grade at the age of fourteen, but because he was a head taller than the tallest male classmates.
Human nature is really ridiculous, elementary school students who are tall will be laughed at by their classmates, Yin Xiaoyu has been hooking his head and bending over with his back in elementary school, how much he hopes that he can be a little shorter, and he will not be looked down upon by his classmates. And now, Yin Xiaoyu is still the height of the fourth grade, that is, he has not grown taller at the age of fourteen.
Yin Xiaoyu would never have thought that many years later, it would be such a glorious thing to be tall. Today's Yin Xiaoyu thinks it's funny when she thinks back to her elementary school life, what's wrong with being tall, she should have said to those classmates who laughed at her at that time, "Being tall is an advantage, do you understand?" Dwarf. "But these are all in the past, after all, there are more good memories, this little ridicule is nothing, maybe the classmates have no malice, it's just a child's concept.
Yin Xiaoyu enjoyed the fun of class during the day, and after school, when she returned home, Yin's mother didn't ask her to work.
She remembered what Han Bing told her, and found out the dusty primary school textbooks, she decided to start reviewing from the first-grade textbooks, first read the language, read the texts, check the dictionary if you don't know the words, phonetic transcription, read a piece, she didn't know a few words, she realized that she had to practice the new words well, read the pronunciation accurately, and then write it down silently.
And went to Han Bing, asked Han Bing to read and dictate to her, knowing that a word was good, a stroke was good, and then asked Han Bing to see if there was a mistake in the stroke order of her writing.
Han Bing's academic performance was the first in the whole grade, there was no need to do homework at home in primary school at that time, Han Bing's family was also wealthy, and he didn't need to do housework, Han Bing had time, and he was obviously very patient with this sister with a different surname, and he was very willing to teach Sister Yin Xiaoyu.
Every day, the relationship between the two is better than before, after all, they are classmates now, and they are the closest classmates to the two families, and they have nothing to talk about.
In addition to studying, Yin Xiaoyu will tell Han Bing about the troubles in the class and at home, Han Bing can always enlighten Yin Xiaoyu, although Han Bing is four years younger than Yin Xiaoyu, and he is like a big brother in front of Yin Xiaoyu.
Yin Xiaoyu admired him more and more.
