Chapter Twenty-Four: Little Year
Oh no, I seem to have forgotten, and the spotted yellow snake! It was pierced to save me! Still stabbed by a ghost! "Old man, there has always been a snake, I often dream of it, I think this should be the relationship left by the snake, it was injured by a ghost for me last night, please save it, it should be in the cemetery like my schoolbag now!"
The old man shook his head: "It's not that I don't save it, it's that I don't need to save it." "It's really dead! My heart is so uncomfortable, it died for me, and I couldn't do anything.
I don't want to ask anything anymore. I don't even know where its body is, only that it's in the cemetery, and I don't know where it is. I think I used to hate it more or less, I don't like snakes, and I don't like rats, and I will never have a snake to catch rats for me again. I killed the snake it valued so much, and then I killed it, and I didn't even get a chance to say thank you to it in person, let alone say sorry. I felt really bad, like losing a friend.
During the exam, there was one person missing in our class, that is, the class leader Pei Feng, who heard that he was sick. If you want to talk about the cattle in our class, Pei Feng is definitely one, he is the squad leader, needless to say that he has good ability, I usually have never heard of him having physical problems, and he has never asked for leave or missed a seat. Compared to me, who asks for leave when there is nothing to do, and is known as a super sick person in the class, he and I are simply two extremes, he is usually never late and leaves early, and today is the final exam, he didn't even come, you can imagine how sick it is.
I took two exams in the morning, and at noon we organized someone to visit him at home, but I didn't go. First, I'm not unrepresentative of the class committee, and second, I'm really tired, and I feel like I've been tired lately.
After returning home, my grandmother gave me a new schoolbag, which was bought by my uncle, and it is said that I have one person with thick ink, to be honest, let go of me and the blood type attribute of the thick ink character is completely discordant, not to mention, I still like the previous schoolbag. I'm very nostalgic.,Used fountain pens,Broken and reluctant to throw away.,Won't lose any of the books that have been written.,All the books from kindergarten are neat and complete at home.,It's not for selling money later.,It's reluctant.,Spend so much money to buy.,Spend so much thought.,Every bit is a trace of memory.,The last dozens of dollars are really wronged to sell.。 It may eventually be sold, but there are no plans to do so at the moment. Although the old schoolbag has been carried for many years, it was sewn by the grandmother herself, and it was old, but the grandmother washed it very cleanly, and now she lost it, and she really wanted to go to the cemetery to get it back, but the grandmother said that she would not let me go again. And my baby in the bag......
Before the exam in the afternoon, according to the classmates who visited Pei Feng's house at noon, they did not see Pei Feng himself, and it seemed that he was very sick, and his parents were haggard. The classmates asked about Pei Feng's situation, but they refused to elaborate, only said that everyone should go back first, and it would be fine in a few days. But after a few days we are all on vacation, how do we know how he is doing? We decided to go back after the holidays. I should be in a better mood after the holidays.
The coming of the winter vacation also means that the New Year is not far away, we are the twenty-third day of the month to take the notice, the month of the month of the New Year, after taking the notice is happy or sad, it depends on whether there is a red notice in hand. Since elementary school, if you get a red one, the head is Yang, the chest is straight, the teeth are definitely laughing and blooming, if you don't get the red, you walk and feel that others are laughing at you, and when others ask about the grades, you will deeply summon the hole in your heart, these are all vain styles, and I am no exception. When I got the red, my heart was rippling. Although everyone knows that this does not mean anything, one-third of our class can get a certificate, as long as you usually keep to yourself and don't do too much, the head teacher will give you a picture, but for the New Year, a new one is pasted on the wall at home, it will be very face-saving, and I will be very arrogant and take the award certificate all the way and laugh. Now that I think about it, happiness when I was a child was so simple, but when I grew up, it was difficult to be happy like this in a small thing.
During the New Year, every household is cooking glutinous rice and making glutinous rice cakes. I went home with my report card, my grandmother was cooking a big pot of rice at home, and when she saw me coming back, her hand was cleaning the edge of the pot, and she clicked on my nose, and she didn't need to look in the mirror to know that there was pot ash on my nose, and she asked, "How did you do in the exam?" ”
I bit my lip and didn't speak, and my grandmother hurriedly said, "It's okay, the exam is nothing, Xuanzi is very smart......"
"Hahaha~" I couldn't help laughing, my grandmother saw that she had been deceived like this, and she picked up the spatula and was about to shoot me, so I ran away.
"Xuanzi, go and call your uncle's family over, don't quarrel with thick ink, do you know?" The grandmother shouted from behind, yes, how did I forget the little man.
Because my uncle's house does not have this kind of cauldron, and the family celebrates the New Year together, as long as the festival is celebrated, we will make glutinous rice together after the rice is cooked. When I arrived at my uncle's house, my aunt was washing vegetables in the kitchen.
"Auntie, my grandmother asked you to go over and make glutinous rice later, where is the thick ink?"
My aunt flicked the water on her hand, "The thick ink is in the room, this kid doesn't like to talk, you have to play with him more." "I'm sweaty, I don't like to talk and I always choke.
I turned around to call him, but my aunt stopped me, "Xuanzi, you got your transcript today, how did you do in the exam?" Should I add more red envelopes for the Chinese New Year? ”
I replied, "Okay." "Actually, my heart is bubbling with beauty.
"Thick ink! I'll go over there and eat glutinous rice dumplings in a while. I shouted at the door, and I wanted to wait for him to answer and leave, but after waiting for a long time and no one answered, I knocked on the door, but no one answered, yes? My aunt said that in the room, could it be that I fell asleep? I gently pushed the door, there was no bolt, and there was no one when I went in and swept around, where did I go? Suddenly I found that there was a bottle on the table, not transparent, the outside was wrapped in a red cloth, this should be thick ink, I am a regular visitor to this room and have never seen it. I picked up the bottle and took a closer look, it was not big, it was not heavy, I was curious, it could not contain some centipede poisonous insects. I closed my eyes, ready to stick my tongue out to see if there was a creature inside.
"Let it go!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout from behind, and my hand slipped in fright, and I was about to hit the ground, and it was over! I'm in trouble! I saw a white tender hand catch it when it was about to land.
I was about to apologize, but thick ink pushed me away, "Basilis, what do you want to do?" Mess into people's rooms and rummage through other people's things! Shame on you! "I was stunned, my mind paused for a few seconds, and I ...... Shame? I've never been scolded like this, even Fei Dongxi, who always makes fun of me, has never said such ugly things. This is my uncle's house, I have never knocked on the door before, this time I knocked on the door because of respect for the guest, and no one answered me before I came in!
I was a little annoyed, "Your stuff is on the table, I was curious to look at it, and I don't mean anything else." ”
He turned away from me, "What are you doing here?" ”
"I told you to go over there for dinner."
He tucked the bottle under his pillow, "I see, the basilisk is gone." "I really want to punch someone!
I went out happily and went home in a huff, and the grandmother was already boiling, "Why are you the only one?" ”
"In the back." I grabbed the spatula and poked it in the pot, it stinked and thick ink! Rotten ink! What the hell did I mess with you?
is going crazy, "Mom, we're here, is the rice cooked?" "My uncle's family is here.
I stretched out my head to look, although thick ink didn't speak, but it was also well-behaved, why did he face my enemy? I'll poke and poke again! My aunt brought the food over, and when I put it down, I came over to help. After the spatula was handed over, I washed my hands and made glutinous rice cakes.
The uncle pinched a ball of glutinous rice and said, "Mom, are Xuanzi's parents coming back for the New Year this year?" I slammed my hand and tightened the glutinous rice ball in my hand.
The grandmother sighed: "I said hello a long time ago, and I can't come back." "Whew, you're not coming back......
"Snake demon, what's the fuss, look at how ugly you are!" I looked up, and the guy looked at the strangely shaped glutinous rice cake in my hand with a sneering expression
"You're making it even uglier!" I thought he would choke back, but I didn't expect him to speak, and continued to tease, strange guy......
My aunt shoveled rice from the pot again, "Did you buy all the paper you burned years ago?" ”
My aunt refers to our annual activities here except for the Qingming Festival, which burns money and other activities every year, and the time of burning paper is Chinese New Year's Eve and coincides with the time when I was born. That is, when I was born, everyone was burning paper, and I have to say that it was silly for me to believe that my birth was a happy day when I was very young.
The grandmother said, "Write the couplet first and then buy that thing." ”
My uncle said, "I wrote it this morning, I'll buy those tomorrow, and by the way, I will buy all the firecrackers." "Adults say this kind of thing, I always don't like to mix, I'm not interested, I'm idle and bored, when I pinch glutinous rice, I pick leeks in it, and the glutinous rice is delicious with leeks, and then look at the thick ink, the pinching is good, the old man has also done this?
Twenty-three as soon as I passed, I and a few classmates were going to visit Pei Feng, and if I didn't go, it would be the New Year, we went in the morning, and my grandmother said that we had to go in the morning to visit the sick or relatives, otherwise it would be unlucky. I also suspected that Pei Feng's family was not ordinary before, but when I really went to see it, I realized that it was really unusual. The house where his family lives is the most special, the slightly upturned eaves are my impression of the ancient earthen bun, the roof is like a temple, and the villa is not a villa, two-storey, and the house is dark red.
"What do his parents do?" Standing in front of the room, I was curious, and couldn't help but ask Fei Dongxi beside me, Fei Dongxi and Pei Feng were relatively close, so they should know.
Who knew that she shook her head and said, "I haven't asked, it seems to be some kind of official, it's not small." "Not a small official put a family in this town?
"It's not an official, the squad leader and his father are doing business outside." A girl retorted, so it's easier to understand.
