After the sleeping light went out, the sound of beautiful rain was beautiful.

The diligence of the predecessors is still an inspirational example in the hearts of future generations.

The night is silent. The partridge cried out in the open forest, "Gugu, Gugu". It is an auspicious bird that accompanies Lin Haimei to read at night.

The dim light went from faint to unusually bright. The moths that came to visit the window slammed the glass softly, leaving traces of powder on the moth's wings.

The little mouse also poked out its pointed powder mouth from the hole, stretched and contracted, looked east and west, and saw the poured oil can, ready to turn it over. When it jumps into the oil tank, it chops at the fragrant lard. It is so greedy that it eats the left, eats the right, eats the outside and eats the inside. Unexpectedly, the oil tank shook back and forth, scratching the little mouse's head, and it couldn't find its way home. I was so anxious that I jumped up and down inside, scratching my ears and cheeks. The lard gave it a gorgeous, greasy massage, and its feet were so sticky with grease that it couldn't beat anymore. The "squeak" cry was drowned out by the oil can, and everyone fell asleep, including rhubarb.

Lin Haimei was immersed in the vast sea of questions, and the voices of the outside world were unaware of her at this moment.

"Wow! It's finally solved", a small fragment of the solution, is the most beautiful sound in the night.

Lin Haimei's cheers fell into the ears of the little mouse several times, and the little mouse "squeaked" and shouted for help, but it was useless. Because Lin Haimei couldn't hear its shout.

The neighbor's big yellow cat came out of the door, and it squeezed in through the railing of the window. The little mouse still squeaked and shouted for help. Unexpectedly, this led to the death of it.

The ears of the big yellow cat are extremely sensitive and can hear sounds from a distance of more than 20 meters. It rolled its ears, froze to spot the sound

Direction.

The cry of the little mouse made the big yellow cat hold its breath, and its mustache sparkled. With a slight leap, he jumped onto the counter and landed silently next to the oil tank.

The big yellow cat hid its paws and moved it forward slightly, straightening its bowed body.

Its head turned sideways into the oil tank.

"Squeak, squeak"! The little mouse screamed hurriedly, staring at the big yellow cat, and retreated in fear, but the jar was shallow, and there was no way back.

The big yellow cat did not mean to bite directly, it simply squatted on the side of the oil tank, stared at the little mouse with both eyes, and scratched it with its cat's paws from time to time. It has the meaning of acting, watching and accompanying the play.

The "squeak" of the little mouse still screamed, but it was much calmer.

"Yay, it's out again"! Lin Haimei's cheers reached the ears of the big yellow cat, and the big yellow cat screamed a few times in the direction of Lin Haimei's operation, "meow" a few times in protest. thinks that Lin Haimei disturbed its fun to tease mice.

"Tut, tut", the sound of Lin Haimei dragging a stool came from the room. Immediately after that, there were a few crisp, "knock" footsteps from the wooden building, and the sound of "oops" opening the door came down again.

The big yellow cat pricked up its ears, and the heavy "dong dong" sound came down again, which was the sound of Lin Haimei walking across the cement slab.

Immediately afterwards, the cement slab on the upper floor of the stove house flashed, and the sound of Lin Haimei's footsteps and her "pedaling" down the stone ladder reached the ears of the big yellow cat.

The big yellow cat was startled, "Not good! In case the owner of this house thinks that it is the lard that he stole to eat, it will not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River."

The big yellow cat quickly picked up the oil rat and prepared to flee through the front door. As soon as it jumped off the cabinet, Lin Haimei opened the door and reached out to turn on the dim electric light.

The figure of the big yellow cat also jumped under the bench, and let out a "purr!" from its mouth. Snore! Voice.

"You nasty wild cat, what are you stealing and eating", Lin Haimei reprimanded in her mouth, seeing that she had no intention of beating it, the big yellow cat quickly jumped and went to the windowsill.

The little mouse makes a "squeak" pleading sound between its mouth.

"Huh! Not bad! Big cat, I picked up a trophy today!" Lin Hai cat saw that the cat was not easy to squeeze out, and with a push of his hand, the big yellow cat gently landed outside the window.

The big yellow cat turned its head and "purred" twice, as if to say, "I caught this little mouse today, not me picked it up."

Early in the morning, Lin Haimei went to pick mulberry leaves and came back.

When I passed by the pomegranate by the bridge, the huge fruits, hidden dark red, shimmered among the small pomegranate leaves.

Lin Haimei's eyes flashed in the grand scene of pomegranate blossoms in May. The fiery red petals show off on the branches between the leaves! Forever in memory, it has become a May flower that can't be stopped.

"The pomegranate flowers shine brightly in May, and the branches are the first to grow", the ancients' description of pomegranates always has the surprise of "finishing touch", Lin Haimei feels that "Ming" and "Cheng" are used very well, and appropriately express the meaning of flowers and ripeness.

Feeding silkworms, making silkworms, and sweeping silkworm sand are compulsory courses every day.

"Silkworm baby, grown up. Now it's a white stripe", Lin Haimei held a white and big silkworm and ate it alone on a mulberry leaf. She wanted to observe the form of the silkworm eating mulberry leaves.

"The white body and black mouth rustle bite, and the green leaves are bent and there is no mulberry", Lin Haimei watched the silkworm eat mulberry leaves quickly, and was amazed! A turn of kung fu and the bite of a crescent. When he came back, only the meridians of the mulberry leaves were lying softly on the slabs.

"Don't be weak and don't do it", this is similar to ants moving food, it is a little bit of the beginning, and finally it becomes a giant elephant!

"Erya, come down to eat", Yang Guihua shouted downstairs, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't hear it.

"Here, you eat first", Lin Haimei swept the silkworm sand, thick, dense silkworm sand, exuding a damp smell of plants. "Silkworms eat mulberry leaves, and what they pull out is silkworm sand. Could it be that silkworms grew up eating mulberry leaf juice", looking at the mass of silkworm sand, Lin Haimei was very confused. "When they grow crystal clear, they spit out silk again",

Lin Haimei looked at the increasingly crystalline silkworm bodies, she really didn't believe that silk would spit out of their mouths.

"Is this made of silk with their bodies?"

"Spring silkworms to the end of the dead silk", the spring silkworm is not dead, it is hibernating, wrapping itself in the silkworm fruit, waiting for the next year's pupation into a butterfly.

"Second sister, hurry up, wait for us to go to the scene, go to Dad's", Lin Haimei cleaned up the floor and almost ran downstairs.

On an autumn morning, the breeze blows. The leaves swayed gently, and the sunlight shone through the shadows of the trees, the mottled grass, and the bushes, becoming ripples like ripples on the surface of the water.

"Second sister, it's so cool! When I was a child, I didn't dare to walk this road alone, I always had a numb back", Lin Shiqin walked in front, the forest path full of branches and leaves was cool and swishing, and the occasional falling light spots lay quietly on the ground, and there was no intention of going away to make way. Only by stepping on it with your feet does it jump quickly on your feet, and after a few steps, it doesn't know where to jump.

"Me too, I hum quietly to strengthen my courage, and occasionally the sound in the grass will also startle me into a cold sweat", Lin Haimei recalled that every day when the moon hung on the horizon, the wind was high and the morning was dark, and a person walked on this quiet and frightening forest path. In the three years of junior high school career, I was walked down by a little girl who was afraid to walk at night.

"I got up at four o'clock every morning to cook pig food and cook breakfast for the whole family," Lin Haimei recalls the past, and is very proud of her bravery.

"Shiqin, do you know how early it is after I have breakfast?" , Lin Haimei was looking forward to her sister's answer.

"I don't know, I'm still in elementary school. Anyway, when we get up every morning, you're gone. The pig food is cooked, and the breakfast is cooked", Lin Shiqin was very amazed by the ability of the second sister!

"You don't know, I've been scared since I went out. The moonlight is not very bright on the road, and sometimes it is covered by houses or trees, and the road is not visible. But I can only go forward, right here", Lin Haimei stopped and pointed to the inside of the field.

"There are several graves in the field above, and every time I walk here, I run. Anyway, it's downhill, and it's about the same as running. In a few minutes, I ran to the mouth of the cave", Lin Haimei looked at the different heights in front of her, and it was not a very easy downhill road.

She stood there, as if she had seen her back again jumping down in panic and fleeing in the wilderness.

"This road is not easy to walk during the day, and some places are covered so that you can't pass over", Lin Shiqin was carefully walking on a falling high hill.

The sisters came to the mouth of the cave. It's just that the hole has changed its appearance now.

Originally, there was a press room, where the whole brigade squeezed oil and ate. There are also pharmacies, small shops. At that time, it was like a triple courtyard, all of which were mud-walled houses.

"Every time I walk here, I'm not afraid. Because there are always people shouting in front and behind", Lin Haimei paused and looked at the newly repaired small building, and the three-sided courtyard became a two-sided courtyard. One side is already in tatters, gone.

"At that time, when he was walking behind, when he saw a figure in front of him, he would shout loudly, "Wait for me." The people in front will also say, "If you want it, I'll wait for you", the empty cliff canyon, the voice echoed loudly inside. and the mountain spring of 3,000 feet in a straight line, emitting an echo of ding dong and ding dong. Sometimes, when a piece of pink stone falls from the cliff, it will be too frightened to look at it, and it will be brave to move forward.

"Usually after two people, we're not afraid. Let's rush to school together", Lin Haimei seemed to see the scene of Ah Fen, Ah She, Ah Ming, and going to junior high school together.

The sky is getting brighter and brighter. When I arrive at school, it's usually less than seven o'clock, and I still have to read early.

The sisters walked and reminisced about old things, but they didn't feel bored or tired.

"Second sister, I envied you and my second brother the most at that time. Walk on the street and shout away. You were so lively at that time, and Ah Wen, Ah Bing, Ah Quan on the team. That's a lot! Sometimes there are more than ten people", Lin Shiqin recalled with envy Lin Erhua's flamboyant and unscrupulous youth.

It's a bit of a long way to get to the street, and it's about two hours on the dirt road alone.

"Second sister, my feet are a little painful, rest for a while", Lin Shiqin directly found a stone on the side of the road and sat down. She rubbed her aching instep and looked at the dusty road, regretting that she didn't read.

Because the road without reading is even more difficult.

When the sisters walked out into the street, it was past ten o'clock in the morning.

The dusty highway makes the houses on both sides look a little old. From time to time, farmland is separated by the road between the two houses.

There aren't a lot of pedestrians anymore. In front of the sparse stalls, a few people gathered to buy something.

"Second sister, aren't you going to buy a shirt?" Lin Shiqin's two sisters walked one after the other.

"It's okay if you don't buy it. Let's go to my father's place first, and then talk about it", Lin Haimei held her sister's hand.

Dad's coal yard is on the grain yard, not on the main street.

The sisters walked for seven or eight minutes when they saw a large pile of coal piled up in the empty dam from a distance.

There were two or three figures walking around in front of the empty dam.

"Dad, someone buys coal, I'll help you shovel", Lin Haimei took the shovel in her father's hand and shoveled it up.

"Lao Lin, these are your two daughters! If you look beautiful and beautiful, you are blessed to be old"! A tall aunt who bought coal with a hanging nose said to her father.

"It's still young," Dad lifted the coal pouch with both hands and took it off the scale.

Dad's face was dripping with black sweat, his face was thin, and his eyes were always shining.

On his hands, his hands were wet with sweat, making the entire palm and the back of his hand look black. The green tendons bulged out, like an earthworm arching its back.

"Erya, this is the night college admission letter that your eldest brother brought back", Dad walked into the house quickly, picked up the envelope on the table, and gave it to Lin Haimei.

Lin Haimei's eyes were wet and the envelope was hazy.
