Introduction: The Second Half of the First Year (Part I)
Luo Qiming opened his eyes and looked at the gray sky outside the dormitory window where residual stars were faintly visible. I had that dream again, I don't know how many times. Looking at the gray PHS next to the pillow, the time was already 4:50 in the morning. The classmates in the dormitory are still in their own dreams, and the fat man Zhao in the next bunk snores like thunder while not forgetting to laugh a few times, and by the way, he must have dreamed that he was feasting in a bad food environment. The morning of early spring was cold, but Luo Qiming just rubbed his eyes, quickly got up and got dressed, and washed softly. A week into the start of the second half semester of his freshman year, he got a job from school to clean the street downstairs in the dormitory early in the morning. The remuneration of 900 yuan a month can not only make me no longer worry about eating, but also save some money to send to my grandfather. After washing up, I left the dormitory, went straight to the small warehouse next to the instructor's duty room downstairs, picked up a big broom, pushed a trolley with a garbage basket strapped, and started a day's work.
There are some students scattered on the campus, some are jogging in the morning, some are memorizing English words, because of the dilemma of life, Luo Qiming is not the only one who strives to improve his life and improve his life. But when it comes to family background, Luo Qiming may be the worst one.
Luo Qiming's family background was not as sad as it is now, and it was even good in the small county town of his hometown. His father was an orphan, enthusiastic and motivated about life, and was the first person in the county to get a driver's license, usually driving in a convoy. In those days, although the car was owned by the public, but in their spare time, they drove to do some errands for the family, and the leaders were not very unkind, and most of them turned a blind eye. The road surface of the county is very bad, the pickup truck runs very bumpy, not that the county does not care, but there is no way, often the road is just paved, and there will be an overloaded cart pulling stones in the middle of the night to sneak by. I caught it several times, but with little success.
Luo Qiming's house is to the west of Zhuangzi, and when you enter, you have to pass through a T-shaped intersection with a steep slope. Because of the next day's vacation, Luo Qiming's father drove a pickup truck and was ready to take the family to the provincial capital for a visit. Because there was a little more time to play, the family set off early, and Luo Qiming remembered that the time of the big watch hanging on the wall at home when he went out was also 4:50.
Just when the car drove to the T-junction, a big truck pulling stones turned from the side, and due to the serious overload, the speed of entering the bend was too fast, and the big truck overturned on its own. When it was pressed down, Luo Qiming's family's pickup was underneath.
Luo Qiming was only 6 years old that year.
At that time, Luo Qiming's mother survived, but her mother had no right leg. She had always been the lead dancer of the square dance of the factory trade union before, and she couldn't accept such a life gap, so she entrusted Luo Qiming to hang herself when she went home at her grandfather's house. Luo Qiming's grandfather felt that his daughter's mood was wrong, and when he rushed into the house with him, his mother on the beam of the house was already cold, and Luo Qiming's grandmother couldn't stand this heavy blow, and she was seriously ill and left.
Since then, Luo Qiming has relied on his grandfather for his life, and his grandfather has been frugal and used the pot to buy iron for Luo Qiming to study. Luo Qiming experienced this, matured prematurely, and also shouldered part of the burden of the family. I have the impression that my grandfather has never beaten Luo Qiming, of course, Luo Qiming is also very sensible, and he has never made my grandfather angry.
Recently, Luo Qiming has often had the same dream, and he should not be able to remember the things in the dream clearly, but after repeating a dream dozens of times, he will have a little impression.
A hurried bicycle bell interrupted Luo Qiming's contemplation, and a tall and strong classmate lay on the bicycle: "I said buddy, sweeping the floor is so engrossed, if we are in a car accident, you have to lie to me." It was Wang Qiang who came from the same dormitory, although Luo Qiming washed up lightly and went out, he was still noticed by Wang Qiang. The guy got a big broom out of nowhere, parked his bike to the side, and started sweeping the streets.
Luo Qiming smiled and got up early to sweep the road, which was not easy for Wang Qiang. Luo Qiming's grades did not belong to the category of good to the cutting-edge, and he did not get a guaranteed place in the university, so he chose this second-class university to major in the normal class, hoping to become a teacher after graduation, and have more time to take care of his grandfather during the winter and summer vacations. Wang Qiang is the son of a local contractor, the second generation of a nouveau riche, with a lot of curiosity, and since he cleared up Luo Qiming's bottom driven by curiosity, he has always taken good care of Luo Qiming. There are often times when I can't eat when I come back from shopping, so Luo Qiming always has additional vegetables. Wang Qiang followed his father, the rivers and lakes were heavy, and he was righteous, but his academic performance became a big problem. This university was specially recruited by his father at his father's expense, majoring in physical education. Although Wang Qiang is quite powerful in physical education, his grades in cultural classes have not even passed the file line. In return, Luo Qiming often did Wang Qiang's homework together, although the majors are different, Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is a course that must be learned in any major. If you want to say that there is a Luo Qiming's sworn friend on campus, it must be Wang Qiang, and only Wang Qiang will help Luo Qiming work, Luo Qiming will not refuse him politely.
"Qiangzi, I've been having a dream lately, in which my grandfather pushed me to an old woman in ancient clothes like Tuogu, and asked her to take care of me, and I did it more than ten times. ”
"Don't think too much, dreams are all reversed. The old man loves you so much, he has never beaten you since he was a child, how can he be willing to push you to others. Hurry up and work, I'll invite you to breakfast after finishing your work, breakfast in the cafeteria can't work, let's go to drink spicy soup opposite the school gate. ”
