After a year of hard work, I finally ushered in the most anticipated course, riding and archery class. But in the first class, the gentleman said that the school didn't have that much money to buy horses, and that if you were going to class, you would have to bring a horse yourself. You can hear that you are in a hurry, and ask Xingle: "Xingle, what should I do, are you going to buy a horse?"

Xingle looked up and looked at it, "I have one at home, although it's a little old......"

After Xingle said this, I can remember that Xingle's family has always kept a horse, but never rides it, so it is tied to the family and is not pulled out. It is said that Xingle's father left behind a horse. At this time, he can feel sad that his father has left nothing, and hate why he didn't leave a horse as well.

I don't know why, I can only have my grandmother at home with Xingle since I was a child, and Xingle has never seen my parents. You can ask grandma, grandma said: "Your father and Xingle's father are good friends, not long after you were born, they decided to go outside together, wanting to make a difference, who knows that there was just a war at the time, and they haven't come back for so many years, and it is estimated that they will never come back......" Seeing grandma wiping her tears, I can feel very uncomfortable.

At first, he and Xingle were very envious of children with parents, who could take their hands home, could ask them for things they liked, and were not afraid of fighting, his father would help him, and his mother made new clothes and snacks. But after a long time, I got used to life without my parents, and I never asked my grandmother why my parents went out to wander and left the family, why they didn't come back for so long. With the same fate, they are all fatherless and motherless children, and they can be very good friends with Xingle since they were children, maybe they can see their own shadows in each other.

can come back with Xingle every time they get out of school, and they have walked the way home countless times, and they all think that they will be on the same road side by side to the end in this life. After entering the village, they parted ways and went back to their homes.

"Grandma, I'm back!" can run to find grandma as soon as he gets home.

"Well, it's good to come back, I'll be hungry, I'll go make dinner right away. "Grandma was sitting at the door washing vegetables.

"Grandma, the school is going to have a riding and archery course!"

"Well, men naturally have to learn how to ride horses and shoot arrows. ”

"But I don't have a horse!"

"Then you can learn archery first, and then let's talk about it after horseback riding. ”

"Riding archery means shooting arrows on horseback, and you can't do anything without a horse!"

Grandma Qi didn't speak.

"Grandma, I'm going to buy a horse, Xingle has it, everyone has it! The school has a five-day vacation for us to prepare the horses by ourselves, the school doesn't have so much money, and we can't afford to buy so many horses. ”

Grandma Qi still didn't speak.

"Our family has so many fields and such a big house, how can we be so poor and live so poorly!"

"Who said that our family is poor! Who said that we are poor!" Grandma Qi suddenly became angry and threw away the work in her hand.

"That's what everybody says behind their backs......" can be said timidly.

"Anything in our house, no matter what, no one will sell it! Kill it and not sell it! Buy a horse now!" Grandma angrily walked to the back room, changed into clean clothes that she knew had been worn and washed many times at a glance, and walked out the door with a plate wrapped around her hand.

There is no place to buy horses in the village, and if you want to buy them, you have to go to the county. can be pulled by grandma to walk to the entrance of the village without saying a word, grandma didn't say a word, she kept hurrying, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. You can know that grandma is unhappy, every time she talks about the situation at home, although it is true, grandma will be like this, and he doesn't understand it too.

There are horse-drawn carriages coming and going at the entrance of the village, and they run every half an hour. In fact, there are coachmen in the village, all of whom are men who do not have wives, except for those who are in a hurry and are drunkards, and my grandmother said that these people are not motivated and do not trust them.

In fact, there is a man who is not like this, his wife died early, lived alone, and went to catch the car when he really had no work to do. Although Grandma Qi is old, she is a flower in the waist drum team composed of all the old ladies, and every performance attracts the admiration of countless old men, one of whom is the cousin who drives the car. Uncle Qi pursued Grandma Qi, and when he had nothing to do, he went to the field to help Grandma work, and told Grandma that he could pull her wherever he wanted to go. But Grandma didn't appreciate it, it always was, and Grandma didn't appreciate all the people who pursued her, and barely even spoke to the men in the village. Over time, there will be no one to disturb the lives of Grandma Qi and Qi Ke. Grandma is a person with a particularly strong personality, she never asks anyone, she can bring up alone, and has always supported the family. There were almost no guests in the house, and Qi Ke had not seen any other relatives until now, and she did not feel lonely, complained or afraid.

After waiting for nearly an hour, a carriage was late, and the carriage was getting closer and closer, and it turned out to be Uncle Cousin. Uncle Xiang shouted happily, and his carriage stopped. Grandma Qi said that she was going to the county seat, so she got into the carriage with Ke. Uncle Cousin is very embarrassed, obviously he has been chasing Grandma Qi for so long, even if he doesn't have a good feeling, he should always have some old feelings, but Grandma is like she doesn't know him.

This is the first time I can ride in a carriage, and I can't tell the novelty, I asked Grandma Qi: "Grandma, grandma, if I buy a horse, will I be able to run so fast!"

"yes. ”

"After that, you don't have to wait so long for a carriage to go to the county seat, you can just ride a horse. ”

"Then you must study hard, as well as your grandfather rides!"

"Hmm, did Grandpa take Grandma on horseback to play?"

Grandma Qi could take a look, opened the curtain, looked out the window, and seemed to have infinite reverie, "Yes, a long time ago." ”

"Isn't Grandpa handsome on horseback?"

Grandma Qi still looked out the window, "Well, it's very handsome." ”

The carriage had been driving for nearly an hour, and with all the ups and downs along the way, he could slowly fall asleep and lean against his grandmother's side. Children are like that, the joy and excitement of new things come and go quickly.

"Yes, yes, wake up, we're here!" Grandma woke up slowly, and she could wake up and hear the noise outside. He almost jumped out of the carriage and saw a sea of people, a lively and prosperous atmosphere. The county where he can be located is actually not prosperous, but this is the first time he has been here, and there are too many worlds here that he has not seen compared to the village.

Grandma walked slowly, and the cousin didn't want to take grandma's money, but grandma insisted on giving it to him, and finally put it in his carriage and walked away.

He can be overwhelmed by everything around him, and his grandmother holds his hand tightly, for fear of getting lost in the crowd. It's hard to find a place where you don't know people, and if you encounter human traffickers, it's bad.

"Grandma, what's that? You see they're all on their faces. ”

"That's a mask. ”

"Grandma, what are they eating, it looks delicious......"

"That's a sugar gourd. ”

"I want to eat ...... too" can look at it intently, and Grandma Qi had no choice but to take him to buy it.

"Follow me with a sugar gourd. ”

"Okay, here you go. "The hawker is very skillful, wrap one and give it to you.

"Give. Grandma Qi took out a penny and gave it to the vendor.

The peddler took the money and looked at it, "This guest officer, the sugar gourd is two pennies and a string, you give one penny less, hehe." ”

"What, I bought a bunch of pennies at that time, why do I have to ask for two pennies when I come to you!" Grandma Qi was angry.

"What era did you eat sugar gourds, the emperor has changed, and now things are expensive, and the money is becoming less and less valuable, you ask everywhere, it's all at this price." ”

Grandma Qi looked down and saw that she had already bitten one and chewed it in her mouth, so she asked, "Is it sweet?"

"Sweet. ”

Grandma Qi took out another penny and handed it to the vendor, and left with the hand that could be held.

You can eat sugar gourds all the way, and your attention to your surroundings is all focused on the syrup on the sugar gourds. Suddenly, he smelled a pungent fragrance, and looked up to see a woman wearing clothes of various colors holding a round fan at the door of a building, dressed very different from the pedestrians on the road, very elegant and breathable, looking very charming and unrestrained. Upstairs there are four gilded characters "Heaven and Earth", and there are all kinds of coquettishly dressed women on it, which are very hospitable.

The sugar gourd that could be chewed in his mouth fell to the ground down his mouth with saliva, and he remembered the picture that Mr. said in class, took his grandmother's hand and asked in surprise, "Grandma, is that a fairy?"

Grandma Qi picked it up and walked forward quickly, "Don't look at it! That's a prostitute! If you go to that kind of place in the future, grandma will break your legs!"

can be held by grandma, the sugar gourd sticks to his face without moving, he turned his head to look back, today is really knowledgeable, not only eat such a sweet thing but also know that it is not only fairies who dress well, but also prostitutes.
