Chapter 31: A New House
My grandfather and I spent a week at my aunt's house. My brother and sister took me to a lot of places that week. Although the places were mundane and some were dirty, I had a great time. I also made a lot of friends with my brother and sister there, and I learned to ride a bike during that week, with the help of those friends!
In fact, it was originally my sister who wanted to learn in advance, because she was going to junior high school in another year. But she was always scared, although her brother taught her many times, and there were many people behind her. But she was afraid, and as soon as we let go, she would fall. Then I encouraged her and said that I would learn with her and see who could learn first. But what I didn't expect was that in the end, I actually learned it before her......
It was the happiest winter break I've ever had, and I even felt like I could spend every day like this. I was carried away by that untrue thought until I was going home a week later.
I didn't want to leave, I wanted to stay here, but it wasn't possible. I knew this very well, but I was still thinking about the impossibility.
I've forgotten when I left, but I have never forgotten how I felt. Brother and sister, I don't remember their expressions though. But I know that they, like me, are reluctant.
But we are all children, even if we are reluctant, we have to give up.
Because we didn't have a choice......
When I got home, school started in less than two days. The second half of the fourth year begins. As usual, my father paid me after all the students in my class had paid their tuition.
I was still sitting in that position as before, but not long after, after the awards ceremony, the teacher moved us to another position.
I was moved to the second row in the center, and the one at the table with me became Renye. I didn't have anything to do with her before, and she had a good relationship with Yang Qingqing. However, Yang Qingqing's grades were not very good, and this seat transfer made me and her finally form a deep friendship. Although, at first, none of us thought of it.
Not long after the start of school, the weather also began to slowly warm up. The chilblains on my hands are also starting to get better. However, because of the wound healing, it was a little itchy, and I kept scratching it during class. Lianye saw me like that, and told me. It would be better to rub it with cherry wine, and I said I knew I did, but it didn't seem to work.
When I came home from school at noon, I saw a village cadre in my village talking to my father. I didn't quite know what to say, but I found out later. It turned out that he reported the situation of our family to the government. It didn't take long for the government to allocate funds to build a house for our family. 5,000 yuan and 20,000 bricks, Dad scraped together a little more. Finally the house was built. However, because of the lack of money, the house was not built very well. The three-room tiled house, with no compartments in it, is a large empty room. The beams are made of wool columns, and the tripods are also second-hand. Bricklaying is not made of cement, but of mud. This is just to save some cement and leave the last wall and floor.
The house was built quite quickly, and it was completed halfway through the semester. When I finally got on the girder, my grandfather went to buy a small cannon and a little candy. But the candy didn't be spilled, because it wasn't too much to be sprinkled. Let the little ones catch it themselves.
Soon after, Dad moved the contents of the sheepfold to a new house. He also dismantled the sheepfold and built a pot house for himself with bricks from which the sheepfold was built. and built a stove in it.
Since then, I have never cooked in my grandfather's pot house.
