Grandma walked out of the lighted kerosene lamp with the buckle, looked at the crying grandson and scolded him a few times, telling him to hold the lamp, saying that he was going to make a supper and had no leisure.

Ye Wufu stopped crying, took the lamp handed to him by his grandmother, and saw that his grandfather had brought a long-handled iron climbing comb from the wall of the hall, and said to him, Come with me to the latrine.

In the thatched latrine, Ye Wufu stood by the pit with a lamp, and his grandfather used an iron climbing comb to open the two planks on the thatched pit, telling Ye Wufu to stand up and fall into the pit carefully.

Ye Wufu immediately let go and raised the lamp high, the lantern was like an upside-down brush, swaying the light, as if the hope of salvaging the flashlight from the pit was written in the eyes of the grandfather and grandson.

I saw my grandfather put the iron climbing comb into the pit from left to right, from top to bottom, from the middle to the periphery, or scooped up stones, strips of cloth, wires, wooden stakes with maggots and feces, but he couldn't catch a flashlight.

Due to the stirring of the pit, the stench was stronger than at the beginning, but Ye Wufu and Grandpa, who were eager to pick up the flashlight, didn't care so much, they seemed to have been assimilated by the stench, and they no longer felt stinky or uncomfortable.

Grandpa changed many postures, sometimes straddling his feet on the pit to fish, sometimes standing on the side to fish, sometimes bending over to fish, sometimes squatting down to fish, digging out all parts of the entire pit and finally picking up the flashlight, and lying on the iron crawling comb wet and smelly.

Grandpa took the handle of the iron climbing comb and came out of the latrine, Ye Wufu followed behind, still carrying the lamp with the lantern with flowers.

Grandpa did not immediately enter the house through the back door, but walked along the dirt road that surrounded the latrine to the ditch by the side of the hill and cleaned the iron crawler comb and the filth from the flashlight.

Grandpa didn't say a word, and when he flicked the flashlight button, it couldn't light up. He unscrewed the back cover and poured out the two soaked batteries.

The battery was not visibly dirty, but it still smelled. Grandpa suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Wufu, who was standing by the ditch, and said in a complaining tone, these two batteries are scrapped. I shook off two batteries and picked up the road, but I don't know if this flashlight is broken.

The next day, grandpa put the flashlight with the back cover open and the back cover on the windowsill of Dangyang to dry, Ye Wufu came home from school at noon, took the basically dried flashlight and squinted one eye to look in, and found that the gap between the front of the flashlight and the bulb was still difficult to get out of the dirt. He walked away quietly, afraid that his grandfather would reprimand him again when he saw him doing this.

In the evening, Grandpa still complained about him, because Grandpa went to the town to buy two new batteries and put them in the dried flashlight, closed the lid, and still did not burn when he pressed the button.

On the third day, Grandpa took the battery to the department store in town and couldn't return it. The salesman said, you tore the plastic paper of the battery's packaging, and stuffed it into a flashlight to try it, and returned it to me that others didn't buy it, and you put it here and ran out of electricity, didn't you harm me?

Grandpa left interestingly, and when he returned home, it was noon when his grandson left school, so he complained to him, Wu Fu, this is good, this pair of new battery stores will not be returned, and they cannot be used, so they will be scrapped. You're such a loser, now the sparrow is not tethered, and you are still looking for a thread.

Buy a novice flashlight, won't this pair of new batteries be ready to use? Wu Fu turned his head and retorted.

You put it mildly, where is the money to buy a flashlight? I bought this new pair of batteries because I took out a horn under the bed and exchanged it for a burden-carrying merchant. Grandpa said, his eyes full of regret.

Grandma glanced at the no-frilled flashlight that had dried upside down on the windowsill, and counted her grandson's. Ye Wufu was forced to be in a hurry, and suddenly let go of his voice and said, I want to find a way to get another flashlight from my classmates, the new battery that my grandfather bought can't be used, how can it be scrapped?

When the grandparents heard this, they stopped counting him. It's just that grandma asked him, Wu Fu, you used to have a villain book to exchange flashlights with people, but now you don't have it, what do you exchange with others? Ye Wufu replied casually, I will find a way.

As for what to do, the grandparents didn't ask, but secretly felt that this child was a little blind. Sure enough, one night a week later, Wu Fu took out a brand-new Tiger flashlight from his schoolbag and shook it in front of his grandfather's eyes.

Grandpa asked him where he got it, he frowned and said, I helped a classmate's family make briquettes a few times, his family became rich, said to give me money, asked me how much, I said as long as I can buy a flashlight. The student's parents gave me a novice flashlight to cover my wages for making briquettes for his family.

The Tiger flashlight that the grandfather asked for his grandson touched in his hand, and when he opened the lid, he found that the spring of the lid had a little rust flaw, so he said, this is not a novice flashlight.

Regardless of whether it is new or not, my family Wufu is still quite good, and I got a flashlight. Grandma looked at her grandson and praised vigorously.

A few days later, Ye Wufu didn't go to school for some reason, and his grandmother didn't say anything when he asked. Grandma was about to call back her wife Ye Wenliang, who was out of work, to send her grandson to school, when she walked out of the door, she saw a police car driving from the road on the other side of the field actually parked in the field, and three people got out of the car, two policemen and a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man asked her, old man, where do you know a student named Ye Wufu?

He is my grandson. Grandma replied to the middle-aged man while glancing at the two policemen. She felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and was about to ask something, when she saw the middle-aged man say to the two policemen, you wait, let me explain to the old man, and then you act.

One of the policemen nodded, and the other policeman said, you do your job well, ask Ye Wufu to come out and come with us consciously, don't be afraid.

Of course. The middle-aged man said, raising his hand to press the deep glasses on the bridge of his nose, as if he was worried that it would fall.

Grandma was a little scared, and suddenly asked the middle-aged man who walked straight into his house, what happened to Ye Wufu? and grabbed a chair and motioned for him to sit.

The middle-aged man sat down and didn't answer directly, just introduced himself, I am Ye Wufu's Chinese teacher and the head teacher, called Kong Zongru, your grandson did make a mistake, and we teachers also have the responsibility of not teaching strictly.

What mistake did Ye Wufu make? Grandma asked and thought, it must be very serious, otherwise, why are the police here?

It's like this, your grandson stole a flashlight from his classmate Hu Juan at school. Kong Zongru didn't finish his words, only opened the beginning, and his grandmother rushed to say, no wonder, I saw that he had a flashlight, I don't know if he stole it from his classmates, if he knew, we wouldn't allow it, now I want him to return it! Make a review. As she spoke, her grandmother was about to call Ye Wufu, but there was no response.

Grandma was very surprised, he was in the hall just now, where will he go in a while? Kong Zongru said, you let me finish speaking, and then call Ye Wufu!
