Childhood is always unforgettable, and it was also the happiest day of Jiawang. When he read from the textbook that Mr. Lu Xun wrote in "From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study": "I will not be able to go to Baicao Garden often." Ade, my crickets! Ade, my raspberries and mullies! When he read "Juvenile Leap Earth", he sighed at a young age. Because Jia Wang was also of school age, and his parents forced him to go to school in the town. Jia Wang is a hundred unwilling, unwilling to leave his paradise, unwilling to be separated from his friends. He prefers to go to Houshan Village to study, and with Tiedan, with his friends, they have their own fun in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The resoluteness of his parents made him unable to fight, so he begged his grandfather, but his grandfather, who took care of him in every way, became serious about going to school, and was as resolute as his parents. Jia Wang cried several times about this, trying to escape, but the day of school was getting closer and closer.

One afternoon, the scorching heat scorched the earth, and the trees on the mountain, the crops in the fields, and the weeds in the mountains all drooped under the scorching sun. Jia Wang couldn't sleep in a daze, and it was the day of school in three days. He was like a green leaf in the scorching sun, hanging his head listlessly. I scooped a scoop of water into the water tank and poured a few mouthfuls of it, and the person seemed to be in good spirits. Jiawang walked out of the door, and the hen of the house threw the damp soil on the ground with her paws in the shade of the base of the wall, and then lay down in the newly turned soil, and kept beating the soil on the ground with her wings to cool herself, and the hens laying eggs in the chicken coop clucked. When the big yellow dog of the family saw Jiawang coming out, he just raised his head to look at him, and then lay down in the shade of the tree and spit out his red tongue.

The village is quiet on a summer afternoon, with the occasional barking of dogs and hens laying eggs, and the restless moaning of summer insects. Jia Wang was also irritable, he couldn't imagine the school in the town, but he could know that he would lose his friends and those joys when he left the village. He walked aimlessly under the scorching sun, like a wanderer who had lost his way, and like a frustrated man who had lost his soul. Where to go, the friends were taking a nap at this time, and the cage in the river had just finished harvesting before lunch, when he saw the chimney of Tie Dan's house smoking, so he walked towards Tie Dan's house.

"Iron Egg! Go and hug the firewood. "The iron egg ran out of the door, and there were still traces of smoke on the tip of his nose, and he saw Jiawang walking to the gate. "Jia Wang, enter the house! I'm going to pick up firewood. ”

Jia Wang comes to Tiedan's house almost every day, and often stays to eat together, so he is very familiar with everything here. Jiawang entered the house and saw that the eldest lady in the kitchen was busy stir-frying, and the smell of oil smoke filled the house, Jiawang coughed twice, and squatted in front of the stove to light the fire for the eldest mother. The bacon was fried in the pot, and when the red and green peppers were put into the pot, Jiawang choked and coughed again. At this time, Tie Dan came back with Chai He, and asked Jiawang to enter the back room and wait.

Jia Wang hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, pushed the door into the inner room, and closed the door. Jiawang was stunned, the back room was not as usual, either the uncle (uncle) was lying on the kang, or smoking, or making up something, or there was no one, because the eldest lady and Tie Dan were in the kitchen. Today, however, there was one more person in the room, a girl to be exact. She is like a lightning bolt in the dark clouds, very eye-catching.

A white dress, white without a single stain, combed with two ponytails, bows tied on the braids, a pair of red plastic sandals on the feet, and the exposed arms and calves were like lard in an oil jar, white, smooth and delicate. The girl was kneeling on a stool, lying on the edge of the cabinet looking at the picture in the frame. Then she heard someone come in, and the girl turned around and saw a swarthy little boy, staring at her differently.

Jia Wang looked at the girl who was staring at him with big watery eyes, and almost stayed on the spot. Stammered and asked, "Where did my uncle go?" ”

"Huh? ....Yes! I went to the river with my dad to dump fish. ”

The girl's brass bell-like voice reached Jiawang's ears. Looking at the smiling girl and the surprised, funny, and funny expression, Jiawang was a little overwhelmed. "Dad", this is not the first time to hear this title Jiawang, when the uncle led the little brother back the year before last, the little brother called uncle father, called aunt and aunt, called his mother and aunt, called his father and uncle, called himself little brother, the pronunciation of the title always overlapped, and my mother said that everyone in the city called it that. The little girl in front of her must be from the city, because unlike the children in the village, she is neatly dressed, her skin is fair, and there is no mud in her nails.

Jiawang was left by the eldest mother to eat, Jiawang said that he had finished eating, but he was still pushed to the front of the table and sat down by the iron egg. A table of good dishes, changed to usual, can eat a few more bites when you are full. But this time he basically didn't use chopsticks much, but Tie Dan kept putting vegetables in his bowl. The uncle and the girl's father drank wine and chatted about their daily lives.

It turned out that the girl's father was teaching in the town, and her mother was also a teacher in the town. The girl's name is Yezi, and her mouth is not idle when she eats. When I ate bacon, I asked what kind of meat it was. How is bacon made? When you eat fish, you ask how you catch it, and when you eat wild vegetables, you ask what is the name of the dish. Where does it grow and how is it picked? In short, there are a lot of questions, but these questions are pediatric for Jiawang, and Jiawang wants to answer his questions, but for some reason he can't open his mouth.

Tie Dan answered the girl's question, and the eldest lady kept putting vegetables in her bowl. When the girl talked about the story of the black cat sheriff, Jia Wang and the dog Dan, you look at me, I look at you, completely blinded, how did the black cat become a sheriff, and the mouse has such a big ability. The girl said that every Monday in the school to raise the national flag, sing the national anthem, salute, join the Young Pioneers and other school things, Tie Dan sighed and said: "There is no school in Beishan Village, Jiawang is good, he goes to school in the town."

Ye Zi looked at Jiawang and said happily, "It turns out that you go to school in the town, and I also go to school in the town, and I am in the second grade." ”

Jia Wang timidly asked, "Are all the students in the town the same as you?" ”

Ye Zi said with a smile: "Of course it's the same, they all wear red scarves, clean the classroom, they all have to write homework in class, and everyone plays together after class, which is interesting." ”

When Jiawang returned home, his parents and grandfather had already gotten up. The mother was sewing something, and when she saw Jiawang coming back, she hurriedly beckoned him over. "Come here, old son, Mom sewed a schoolbag for you, you try it."

Jia Wang took the school bag, which was a small satchel sewn with a whole piece of cloth, the stitches were very small, and the length of the shoulder bag strap was just right for Jia Wang's height. Jia Wang carried his schoolbag diagonally, thinking about the school depicted by the leaves, and for the first time he had an expectation of going to school in the town.

School started, and Lao Zhu and his wife sent Jiawang to report to school together. As soon as he entered the school, Jia Wang saw a courtyard full of students, dressed in colorful clothes, except for the red scarves around their necks, jumping on the playground. There are those who jump rubber bands, there are those who shoot balls, there are those who jump squares, there are those who talk and laugh, and they are very happy to watch. Only those freshmen who came to report like Jiawang stood in a line, probing their brains and looking around.

Jia Wang glanced at the crowd in the playground, and there was a feeling of being deceived. muttered: "Where is it the same, isn't this similar to the children in our village." I saw a snow-white figure in the crowd, a white dress, snow-white skin, two bows tied in her jet-black hair, the red scarf around her neck swayed up and down with her jumping, and the red sandals jumped happily, sometimes alternating between ups and downs, sometimes both lifted, and landed lightly. That's Yezi, only she looks unique, Jia Wang originally thought that the children in the town who went to school were like Yezi, and he would be an outlier when he came to school.

Later, I learned that Ye Zi's parents are teachers in the school, Ye Zi grew up in a small town, and her parents took good care of her, not letting her go up the mountain to catch birds and go down to the river to fish, so Ye Zi didn't know anything about the interest of the mountains, and often went to the county, grandma's family was in the county seat, and her parents would take her to live there every winter and summer vacation, and find someone to teach Ye Zi to learn music and dance. Leaves are the focus of the school, as long as the school does any activities, it is the time when the leaves shine. Her classmates were very envious of her, including Jia Wang herself.

School life has lost the childlike fun of home, but Jiawang has gradually adapted to life here. Jia Wang loves to read, finds the fun in books, and learns to jump squares, punch bags and other games with his classmates during recess. Jiawang lives in the school, goes home once a month, is Lao Zhu to pick up, usually a day and a half off on weekends, Jiawang and the same classmates who live in the school frolic on the playground all day long, go to the school cafeteria to eat, and watch TV collectively at night.

There is a black-and-white TV in the school's activity room, which Jia Wang particularly likes to watch, but unfortunately it is only open to students on weekend evenings. Jia Wang saw the black cat sheriff Ye Zi said on the TV, but he couldn't see it all. Every time when I go home at the end of the month, I will find Tie Dan and tell him about school. Tie Dan was even more envious, but Jiawang didn't feel fresh, and still liked the childlike fun in the mountains.

During this year's winter vacation, Jiawang went home. Great changes have taken place in the village, electricity has been introduced in the autumn, and the oil lamps, candles and the more advanced gas lamps of the time have been said goodbye, and the electric lights have been used in the households.

Jiawang's uncle gave the family an old 14-inch black-and-white TV, and Jiawang's family became the first family in the village to have a TV.

The day after the TV was sent, Jia Wang, Tie Dan, Lao Zhu and Tie Dan's father, under the guidance of their uncle, were busy for a long time. First, a long wooden board with a length of one and a half meters was surrounded by aluminum wire, the wooden board was fixed on a long wooden pole, and the two ends of the aluminum wire were connected to a long antenna.

Lao Zhu and Tie Dan Dad leaned the pole against the wall and erected it, put the bottom of the pole into the pile trench dug in advance, and the antenna went deep into the house along the window of the eaves, and finally pulled three wires with iron wire, tied to the wooden pole, and nailed to three points respectively to prevent the wind from blowing the pole down.

Jia Wang and the iron egg house ran inside and outside the house, and they started fighting. Grandpa sat on the kang and watched his grandson run around with a smile.

Everything is ready, Jia Wang can't wait to turn on the TV. Tie Dan and the others looked at the TV screen excitedly, looking forward to the TV show. Jiawang knew the operation of the TV, and when it was turned on, the screen was full of snowflakes, and it kept ringing. Jiawang hurriedly said, don't worry, I adjusted the station, Jiawang twisted the FM, Kakaka, and there was no shadow of the station after tuning, only two or three were not snowflakes, but the screen was also scrolling up and down, zilala, mixed with the sound of people's talking.

Uncle looked at Jiawang and laughed on the side, Jiawang suddenly understood what was going on, and ordered Tie Dan: Tie Dan, go out and turn the pole, I say stop, you stop. "Tie Dan went out to turn the pole, Jiawang transferred the table to the platform where the screen rolled, as the pole turned, the screen gradually became clearer, and finally under the guidance of Jiawang, a total of 5 units were received.

Lao Zhu's daughter-in-law was cooking in the kitchen, and the rest were watching TV in the house, Jiawang remembered very well that the first program he watched at home was "Guerrillas of the Plains", and the family was very excited to watch it, especially Tiedan, who used to play gun games with his partners, and now he finally saw the real picture.

Since then, when it comes to the holidays, Jiawang and Tie Dan finish their homework, and they basically sit around the TV. They watched "Sheriff Black Cat", watched "Shuke and Beta", watched "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", and watched "Tiger Race...... Later, there were more and more TVs in the village, and Tiedan's family also had TVs, so the time for the two to get together was relatively less. But the childlike two people in the mountains have not been thrown away, still hunting birds, fishing, mushrooms, and hares. But because of an accidental incident, Jiawang completely gave up hunting birds, fishing and hares.

On September 22, 1990, a day of national celebration, the 11th Asian Games was held. The school was closed and students were asked to go home to watch the opening ceremony. Jiawang stayed in front of the TV, watching the crowd like a sea, hugging pandas Panpan, and his heart was also excited, Jiawang knew that it was the pride of the Chinese and a grand event that attracted the attention of the world.

After watching the opening ceremony, Jia Wang thought about his clips, although it was past the season of bird hunting (before and after the spring valley rain), Jia Wang often lowered the clips to the shade of the trees in front of the door, looking forward to hitting the greedy sparrows. It is said that the birds have abundant food this season, and the fat insects in the Jiawang medicine jar have long become moths, and the bolt of the clip is just a piece of grain ear randomly clipped, but Jiawang still gets off the clip with great interest. Maybe this is what a child is looking forward to, knowing that it is unlikely, but still holding illusions.

Jia Wang walked to the shade of the tree, which was a secret place near the root of the wall, and Jia Wang had observed, and there were often sparrows in and out of that corner. But before he could get closer, he saw a sparrow fluttering away. Jia Wang slapped his thigh, regretting that he had come one step earlier, otherwise he would have gained something if he waited a little longer. When Jiawang saw his clip, he was first happy, then began to frown, and then regretted. Jiawang was born with high emotional intelligence and kindness since he was a child, and now the scene has completely freed him from the child's naughtiness and ignorance.

When Jiawang saw a sparrow on his clip, he was very happy, this was an unexpected gain, he thought he had come early, and he flew the sparrow, but he didn't want to be caught it. But it was strange at once, according to the usual situation, as soon as the clamp sounded, the other birds would immediately fly away, and would not come back for a long time, but there was still a sparrow here. Jiawang thought: Maybe these two birds are husband and wife, one died, and the other was reluctant to leave. When the second grandfather died, the second grandmother cried to death, and even the fourth grandfather who killed the livestock cried. It turns out that birds are the same as people, they also have emotions, but unfortunately I don't know how many couples have been broken up in the past, and how many young birds have lost their father or mother.

Since then, Jiawang has never hunted birds, touched fish, and never went up the mountain to hunt hares, not only did he not do it, but he also often persuaded Tie Dan not to do it, and secretly destroyed it when he saw others doing it. And until I grew up, I would keep shaking my head when I saw the joy of the child catching birds and fishing, and the child's ignorant childlike fun did not know how many innocent animals had been hurt, and I also felt remorse for my ignorant behavior. When he grew up, Jia Wang became an environmental protection and animal protection volunteer.
