Chapter 1 The Country
One day in July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter as we enter the 24 solar terms. The men and women on the street have long since faded their spring clothes and put on refreshing summer clothes, walking on the street with their own style, and the city has suddenly become much more refreshing.
The students have all gone out for the summer vacation, and now the school is quiet, every classroom is locked, and the staircase on the first floor of the teaching building is also closed. The playground in front of the teaching building was cleaned by the whole school on the day of the holiday, and now it looks neat and tidy, without even a piece of shredded paper. At this moment, in the school, except for the security guards guarding the door, there is no second person.
At this time, Lao Zhang was sitting in the security room, blowing a fan, listening to a small song on the radio, holding a cup of freshly brewed green tea in his hand, and was intently patrolling the huge campus. In fact, there are no people on the campus now, and the most annoying place for students is the school, and now that it is difficult to stay up until the summer vacation, how can they take advantage of the vacation to drill into the school. Lao Zhang: This is completely a work habit, whether there is anyone or not, he has to make such a tour before he can rest assured, otherwise he will always be unsure.
"It's rare to be idle!" Lao Zhang took a sip of tea and exhaled, his voice full of comfort. He slowly lay down in the back chair and began to close his eyes and recuperate. If the children are usually in school, how can Lao Zhang sit here with his eyes closed, and the old man with his eyes closed and his mouth open: "Now this student, but one is more naughty than the other, I don't know how to cherish this hard-won learning opportunity, when I am like your age, if I can go to school, then I don't bury my head in hard study, and run for a good future, if I can go to school at that time, I won't look at the gate here now....."
Lao Zhang, who was talking alone, was interrupted by a crisp voice.
"Uncle Zhang, what are you talking about?"
A crisp voice came, and Lao Zhang sat up and looked at the window, where there was a man lying on his stomach, carrying a bulging schoolbag.
Lao Zhang said, "Oh, Wu Hou, why are you here?"
The child called Wu Hou by Lao Zhang is a student studying in this school.
Wu Hou replied: "I happened to pass by, I want to go to my grandmother's house to escape the heat, let's be too hot in a few days, it's better for my grandmother to be there, there are mountains and rivers, and it's not hot in summer." As he spoke, the little guy had skillfully taken out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and threw it to Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang caught the cigarette, looked at it fixedly, and said, "Yo! Okay, smoke the gold wire." With that, he took out a lighter and quickly lit it for himself.
Wu Hou smiled and said, "I said I was going to my grandmother's house, and my mother gave me some money to take the car by myself." As he spoke, he lit one for himself.
Watching Wu Hou light a cigarette for himself, Lao Zhang scolded and said, "Little rabbit, you still lit it in front of me, what's the matter, I can't control you after the holiday, right?"
This Wu Hou, who is usually very naughty at school, has poor academic performance, often secretly hides in the toilet to smoke, and spits out clouds and fog like an adult.
At this time, some young and old Wu Hou spit out a puff of cigarette and said softly: "You can't control me if you don't have a holiday." ”
"What? I didn't hear you. Lao Zhang stared at Wu Hou.
Wu Hou replied with a smile: "It's nothing, it's nothing, Uncle Zhang, you continue to sleep, I'm leaving, if it's late, it will be dark when I get to my grandmother's house." ”
As he spoke, Wu Hou had already taken a step forward and walked forward. Lao Zhang, who was sitting in the security room, took one last puff of cigarette, looked at Wu Hou who was gradually moving away, shook his head and said, "This little rabbit cub is difficult to do." ”
Lao Zhang caught Wu Hou smoking in the toilet more than once, and the first time Lao Zhang scolded him, it was nothing more than those, "You are a student, how can you smoke!", "You are still young, you can't smoke!" "Smoking is harmful to your health." words. The first time he was caught by Lao Zhang, Wu Hou was still submissive, bowed his head and didn't dare to speak, and listened carefully to Lao Zhang's earnest teachings, but later he was caught by Lao Zhang, this kid dared to hand Lao Zhang a cigarette directly, and said in his mouth: "Don't be angry, come and smoke a cigarette." ”
Wu Hou is a well-known troublemaker at school, and although he doesn't have many good friends, it doesn't seem to stop him from being happy. Except for the physical education teacher, the teachers of every subject did not like this child, for the simple reason that Wu Hou had used all the textbooks to make kites, and took a roll of thread from home that his mother used on the sewing machine, and put the kite high in the schoolyard. There are many other things like this kind of kite flying, all of which are a headache for teachers.
Why do you say that in addition to the physical education teacher, because the physical education teacher still likes Wu Hou. Although Wu Hou's child is not very old, his body and physique have far surpassed his peers, and there is no stronger student in a school than him. This can be regarded as his unique superior conditions, and he won the first prize in various sports in the sports meeting of the last school year. Since then, the physical education teacher has been impressed by this child, and he didn't expect such a naughty student who doesn't like to study to be so outstanding in sports.
Wu Hou, who was carrying a schoolbag, came to the station in a leisurely manner. The schoolbag was bulging by him, and at first glance it looked like it was about to burst. When queuing up to buy a ticket to enter the station, the staff looked at Wu Hou, who was carrying a schoolbag, and asked, "What is it loaded on, such a drum?"
"Summer homework, and a change of clothes, I'm going to my grandmother's house, and my mom packed it for me. Wu Hou opened a pair of big eyelids and answered the staff innocently.
Seeing Wu Hou's harmless appearance of humans and animals, the staff nodded and let Wu Hou enter the station.
Wu Hou, who entered the station, stuck out his tongue and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. In fact, he only has a few changes of clothes in his school bag, so he has no summer homework. Except for the clothes that his mother prepared for him, he packed the rest of the things himself. For example: slingshots, flashlights, small daggers, game consoles, and several popular novels of the moment.
After Wu Hou's car left the station, he went straight out of the city. It was not far from here to his grandmother's house, but because he had to walk the mountain road, it would take him a little longer. After the car left the city, it turned onto the mountain road, which is not large, but it is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Wu Hou, who was sitting in the car, leaned his head against the glass, enjoying the scenery along the way. He likes to go to his grandmother's house, and the car will climb up in circles around a hill on the mountain road. Occasionally, there is a steep downhill, a few kilometers at a time, and the feeling of this downhill makes Wu Hou feel that he is riding a roller coaster. What is even more pleasing is the fragrance of nature that is all over the mountains, lush forests, and flowers and plants.
In this way, sitting in the car and feeling the ruggedness of the mountain road, Wu Hou, who was swaying and leisurely, gradually became sleepy and fell asleep. By the time he woke up, the car had just arrived at its destination. Wu Hou, who got out of the car, put his schoolbag on his shoulders and took a deep breath of the mountain air, feeling comfortable and comfortable. He moved his body to dispel the fatigue of the car, and began to walk to his grandmother's house according to the route in his memory.
The night in the mountains is always wet, the fog is hazy along the way, it is already the bright moon in the sky at this time, Wu Hou especially likes this kind of night, the fog is wrapped around the mountains, as if the mountains are dressed in a non-existent clothes, the moonlight is sprinkled on the mountains, illuminating the mountains white. There is no smell of car exhaust emissions, no noisy noise, and no bustling lights in the city.
Wu Hou's grandmother took advantage of the light and was standing at the gate of the small courtyard, looking into the distance. The old man, counting the days on his fingers, according to the habits of previous years, in the last few days, Wu Hou should have arrived. Therefore, the old woman began to look into the distance at the door a few days ago, hoping to see Wu Hou's child soon.
The old man in the house looked at his wife at the door and persuaded, "Old woman, don't look at it, when is this, I shouldn't have come today." ”
"It's coming, it's definitely coming, I can feel it in my heart. The old woman answered the old man in the room in the distance at the door.
The old man shook his head and said, "I feel, you can feel it, why can't I feel it?"
The old woman ignored him and continued to look into the distance. As I get older, I am not as good as when I was young, but now my eyesight is not good, and after looking at it like this for a day, my glasses are already sore. The old woman closed her eyes and rubbed her hands to relieve her eye fatigue, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw a figure in the distance bouncing all the way to this direction. The old woman suspected that she was hallucinating, so she closed her eyes and rubbed them, but before she could open her eyes, she heard someone shouting in front of her: "Grandma, grandma." ”
The old man in the house heard the cry and walked out, and when he saw Wu Hou running to the old woman, he hugged the old woman and said in a coquettish tone: "Grandma, I want to kill you." ”
The old woman was so happy that she almost didn't shed a few tears. "I miss you too, good boy. I'll just say you're definitely here today, but your grandfather doesn't believe it. ”
The old man standing on the side said unhappily: "Who doesn't believe it, I haven't slept again, what's the difference between waiting in the house and waiting outside the door, you let me stand at the door and wait like you a few days ago?" "Stinky boy, it's stronger than last year. ”
Wu Hou smiled innocently, and then looked at his grandmother distressedly. "Grandma, you've been waiting for me here since a few days ago? ”
"It's not hard, it's not hard, as long as I can see my precious grandson. The old woman took Wu Hou's hand and walked into the house, and the old man closed the courtyard door behind him.
