Chapter 33: A Smaller Version of the Rivers and Lakes
The cool breeze is blowing, and the willows are still clinging.
Early in the morning, Cheng Jiaan took Cheng Jianghai's little hand and stood at the door, ready to take it to the health center alone. For a period of time, Li Xiulan was going to work in the printing factory, and Cheng Jianghai was placed by Cheng's family in the independent small courtyard of the health center.
As soon as the door is closed, the child can't run anywhere, safe and reliable. Seeing that his eldest son and eldest daughter went out and prepared to go to school, Cheng Jia'an said calmly.
"Jiang Shui, Yi'an's bicycle will be ridden by you in the future! It's also put, your mother has her own, and I don't go out, it's too wasteful to put it away! ”
Cheng Jiangshui didn't react yet, and Cheng Jianghe on the side was a little excited. Every day I envy my sister for letting He Yi'an take her to school, but she can only trek on two legs. With the title of "the eldest grandson of the Cheng family", it is useless, why is the treatment so different.
Well, the dawn is coming!
"Dad, can I take my sister's car?" Cheng Jianghe asked hopefully.
"Ugh!" Cheng Jia'an frowned, and asked his daughter hesitantly: "Jiang Shui, can you move him a little?" ”
Cheng Jiangshui gestured with his head and smiled skillfully: "No problem, I have come back a little bit from the previous whole bag of noodles, his small physique is not as good as a bag of noodles!" ”
Cheng Jianghe's face was black, and he said depressedly: "Sister, how can you compare the noodle bag with me?" ”
Cheng Jiangshui ignored him, and said happily to Cheng Jia'an: "Dad, then I'll ride away." River, go! ”
"Okay, okay, now I have a car to sit in!" Cheng Jianghe climbed into the back seat.
"Wait, the words are not finished yet" Cheng Jia'an opened his mouth to stop the two children who were in a hurry: "Jiang Shui, your mother has told you, let you learn to manage the accounts!" ”
"Oh, Mom said it yesterday."
Cheng Jiangshui nodded depressedly, but Cheng Jianghe's eyes widened on the side, and he scratched his ears and cheeks with joy.
Cheng Jia'an didn't know how to say it to his children, and always felt that his wife's idea was a little unfair to his daughter, but he couldn't oppose it openly. After hesitating for a moment, he stubbornly said, "Hmm...... If you want to learn, you can learn, if you don't want to...... Don't force it either. ”
Cheng Jiangshui frowned at his good-looking eyebrows, pursed his lips and thought for a while, and said softly: "Dad, I want to learn, so I can also help my mother!" ”
"Oh, if you want." Cheng Jia'an was stunned, temporarily suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and confessed: "Go back and ride slowly, don't let the river ride, he can't do it yet!" ”
Cheng Jiangshui happily agreed: "I know, then I'll go, Jianghe, let's go!" ”
"Let's go, let's go! Dad, goodbye! ”
As soon as the children set off, Li Xiulan walked out of the door leisurely with a dark circle under her eyes, and did not forget to roll her eyes at Cheng Jia'an.
Cheng Jia'an's face turned red, and he quickly pretended not to see it: "All gone?" Then I'm going to work too......"
With Cheng Jianghai by her side, Li Xiulan was angry and couldn't go directly to Cheng's family, so she had to rush the anger she had held all night to Cheng Jianghai, who was innocently lying down.
"Jiang Hai, go to your dad's place to be honest, just play by yourself, don't wander around for me, put on dirt, don't be tired when your mother washes clothes, remember?"
Looking at his mother's vicious appearance, Cheng Jianghai hurriedly nodded frequently: "Oh, I wrote it down!" ”
Li Xiulan rode away in a huff, Cheng Jia'an pursed her lips, lowered her head and explained to Cheng Jianghai again: "Jiang Hai, did you hear it, don't wander around, without your mother, I will spank if I make a mistake!" ”
"Oh!" Cheng Jianghai agreed very aggrievedly, what's wrong with this early morning, why is it all at himself, is it okay for someone to be a child!
The cool breeze blows on the face and the air is fresh.
The wheels are rolling and the song is melodious.
"Let's swing the sculls and push away the waves, the sea reflects the beautiful white tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls, the boat floats gently in the water, blowing in the face, the cool wind ......"
The siblings rode their bicycles happily on the tree-lined avenue, and from behind the car came the hearty singing of Cheng Jianghe, and the best way to express their joy was to roar at the top of their voices.
This is the first time I've taken a bus to school! This wind, this scene, this sourness, not to mention how powerful it is.
Seeing that his younger brother was a little elated, Cheng Jiangshui also lightly opened his red lips, and his tactful singing voice floated on the surrounding fields......
"The fish in the water look at us, listen to us quietly, and sing happily......"
After a pause in the singing, Cheng Jianghe stuck his head out from behind and asked in surprise: "Sister, did my mother really hand over the financial power of our family to you?" ”
"What? Don't believe me? ”
Cheng Jianghe scratched his head in surprise, looking very puzzled: "It's a bit of an accident, but since Dad said it, then this thing must be true." Alas, sister, you have taken over the financial power of our family, can you get me some pocket money? ”
Cheng Jiangshui was a little surprised, and asked suspiciously: "What do you want pocket money for?" Buy snacks! ”
Cheng Jianghe pursed his lips with a look of disdain: "I'm not as greedy as Jiang Hai, my mother usually deducts it and doesn't give any pocket money." I'm going to go to the bookstall outside to read books, and each one costs 2 cents, so how many can I read, it's too expensive. Hehe, it's okay now, sister, you go back and take care of your brother and me. ”
The "Ziyo ......" car stopped, and Cheng Jiangshui turned his head and looked at Cheng Jianghe playfully.
"Hehe, then don't you think about it?"
"What's wrong?" Cheng Jianghe was fluted.
Cheng Jiangshui said curtly: "Mom only asks me to keep accounts, manage distribution, specific tickets, I can't even touch them, how can I take care of you!" ”
"Ahh
Cheng Jianghe cried out in extreme disappointment, and was seriously upset for his sister: "What is this called handing over financial power, isn't this equivalent to taking off your pants and farting!" ”
"Go, how can you say that, damn it?" Cheng Jiangshui glanced at him and continued to ride, and Cheng Jianghe in the back seat was disappointed and disappointed for a while.
"Hey! Forget it, it seems that if you want to read some books, you have to figure it out by yourself! ”
On the other side, Cheng Jia'an threw Cheng Jianghai into the small courtyard of the health center, and busily went to see the patient and get medicine. There are surprisingly many patients today, and Cheng Jia'an, who is a single person, is really a little in a hurry, and he can't take care of Cheng Jianghai who is playing alone.
How nice it is that there are no adults staring at the side like a searchlight to prevent thieves!
Cheng Jianghai peed and mud in the yard alone, and he could still have a lot of fun.
Play is the biggest theme of Cheng Jianghai's life at this age.
In Cheng Jianghai's vague childhood memories, wearing open crotch pants and dangling the little finch the size of a pea to go wild unscrupulously should be the most worry-free and happiest part of his life.
Perhaps because the more impoverished the life and the more materially impoverished, the easier it is for the children in this era to obtain the purest satisfaction and the simplest happiness, which has also become a sweetness that can no longer be compared in his later life.
But in the era of material scarcity, where did any toys come from.
In his childhood, his dedication to toys is reflected in the popular ballad during the Anti-Japanese War.
"There are no guns, no cannons, the enemy makes them for us."
Changing to the current status quo, that is, "no fun, no trouble, only self-made!" ”
As a result, mud is the cheapest, most accessible, and most common toy, and you can use your endless brain to create all kinds of whimsical and longing shapes. You can also call friends and make mud into a "bowl" shape with endless arguments, spit a mouthful of foam into it, and then slam it on the ground with all your strength.
"Bang", with the sound of a firecracker-like explosion, mud spots flew everywhere, and everyone widened their eyes and carefully compared, whoever has a big mud hole will win.
Take! Again!
Who cares how much dirty saliva there will be in the mud of winning?
This is their simple and simple happiness.
Simplicity sometimes means easy to satisfy, easy to fulfill, and easiest to be happy.
Cheng Jianghai plays with mud, no one needs to teach him, this guy is born to be a girl in the mud, and after a while, a few ugly pieces of mud will be set up under the immature little hands to create a decent castle.
Don't say it, how can you play a trick, this is not a difficult thing for Cheng Jianghai. Now that the castle is there, it's time to pinch the princess and prince next, so that the stories in the fairy tales can be told.
But at this time, Cai Sangu's youngest son Qi Jiahu, the "rival" in Cheng Jianghai's eyes, took a submachine gun carved from wood and took a few children of the same age, sneaked into the small courtyard of the health center, and watched Cheng Jianghai play with mud alone. Under the command of Qi Jiahu, they swarmed up.
Qi Jiahu crossed his waist and ordered majestically: "Cheng Jianghai, go, play war with me!" ”
Cheng Jianghai pouted his buttocks, looked up at Qi Jiahu, and said nothing. Then he rolled his eyes, very much like the kind of "white-eyed benevolence" inherited by his mother, and properly showed the other party "I won't play with you", and then lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the fairy tale world of his clay sculptures.
Seeing that Cheng Jianghai ignored himself, Qi Jiahu took a step forward and added menacingly: "Cheng Jianghai, my brother is now the commander-in-chief, I am the army commander, you have to listen to my orders!" ”
Just as Qi Jiahu shouted in his mouth, since He Yi'an left the regimental field, the throne of the child king was instantly retaken back by the unruly Qi Jialong, and he gave himself a title bigger than the commander - "Commander-in-Chief of the Sea, Land and Air".
One person attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascended to heaven. Of course, Qi Jiahu also fell to the high position of a "military commander", and for a time he was arrogant and invincible.
magnifying it, the children's world is also a "river and lake", where there are "swords and swords", as well as "grievances and hatreds".
was "suppressed" for many years, and once the serfs turned over and sang. The first object of the Qi family's dragon and tiger brothers to suppress and fight back was of course the Cheng family brothers. But Cheng Jianghe has never liked to participate in the boring competition games between children, wouldn't it be better to read some books when there is that time?
So for Cheng Jianghe, who shrunk in the house all day long, just like everyone who is beautiful and doesn't go out of the door, there is no chance to find fault. The two brothers of the Qi family had no choice but to stare at Cheng Jianghai, who was much younger.
