Silent Complaint IV
At the end of the day's work, the gray-faced children snuggled up to each other under a cart and looked up at the starry night sky.
A ragged child of seven or eight years old, smelling the smell of meat wafting in the air, and holding tender little hands. He lowered his head and approached a slightly older child, and said very quietly, "Brother Xiaoyu, I'm so hungry." ”
The man named Brother Xiaoyu touched his hair, smiled and asked gently, "Shushu, are you hungry again?" ”
"Hmm!" He replied with a vigorous nod.
The child, who was about his age, also rumbled in his stomach, and they all lowered their heads in embarrassment, clutching their bellies to try to keep it from making a sound.
Xiao Yu looked at the hut in the distance, several shirtless men, drinking and eating meat. He stood up and walked over, and after a while, he walked out with a large plate of rice.
"Come, one piece of meat per person." As he spoke, he sat on the ground and pulled out pieces of meat from the rice and distributed them to the children around him. But he forgot that he was still a child, and he didn't leave a piece for himself.
When they saw the meat, their eyes lit up, and when they took it in their hands, they stuffed it into their mouths. Xiao Shushu divided a piece into two pieces, one was put in his mouth and the other was handed to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu shook his head, pointed to his skinny self and said, "I'm not hungry, you can eat." ”
"Brother Xiaoyu...... Sorry to forget you didn't eat, I'm so hungry. A girl with yellow hair looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"It's okay, everyone eat quickly, you won't be hungry when you're full." Xiao Yu shouted.
Twenty children, who were eating their frothy rice with relish, their dull eyes, full of brilliance, forgot what they had suffered during the day.
After eating, the little book licked his fingers clean, folded his hands, and covered his eyes with long eyelashes as pure as spring water, and prayed secretly.
The cold moonlight shone quietly on the large stone pile, on this stone mountain far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
His silent wish, accompanied by a faint hope, accompanied him to sleep. There was no darkness in the dream, no endless work, no whipping, no unclear view of the hot sun. His small, scarred hand rested on his chest where he was breathing steadily.
Zhang Ning picked up the university brochure on the bookshelf, and opened it at a certain agricultural university. The more she looked, the more interested she became, so she simply walked over to her desk and sat down to read.
A few thin pages, I read it in a while, and she read it again after reading it.
Yuan Youwei, who was also reading the university brochure, saw what Zhang Ning was holding in his hand, and the smile froze on his face, he was uncertain, looked at what he was close to him, and looked at what she was holding in her hand.
He took a small book with the words Xianghe University printed on it, and came to the seat in front of her and sat down. "What, you're interested in agricultural universities?"
Zhang Ning closed the small manual, looked at what he was holding, and his eyes stopped there for dozens of seconds before nodding slightly.
"May I ask you why?" Yuan Youwei put what he was holding on his legs, looked at her with more interest and asked.
"I like to eat, and when I'm full, I will have the strength to face whatever I encounter." Zhang Ning said.
"Well, that's right, the people live on food. I hope that your choice, everyone will support you. Now that I know, I should be the first to support you, right? ”
Zhang Ning thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, the first one is my mother." ”
"Oh oh, the first support is Mom, it's always good to start with." Yuan Youwei looked at Zhang Ning in shock, and then said with a smile.
