Chapter 20 Ordering
After the New Year, it seems that time is starting to speed up. In the blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival is about to start, and Teacher Lin has not appeared, I have been to the primary school many times, and there has been no movement in the school.
Although the big "fireworks" set off on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve almost didn't scare me, it also made me find new happiness. Of course, I didn't dare to set off such a big "fireworks" anymore. But it didn't prevent me from trying all kinds of seal scripts. Now you don't need pen and paper, you can just use your fingers to draw one out of thin air. But it's not always easy. After all, even with pen and paper, I don't always succeed, and the success rate is not high. It's still difficult to write out of thin air.
I succeeded in describing the word water, suspended in the sky, and the air around it seemed to immediately become moist, and soon a cloud of crystal clear rain condensed in the air. This water is purer than well water. Underneath the clear blue sky, it looks like a ball of blue crystals. The outer layer of water appears to be a flowing layer of metal. The sunlight shines through this cloud of water, refracting rainbows one after another. It's so beautiful! I'm fascinated by this beautiful thing that I made myself.
"Yangyang!" Grandpa didn't see me, so he shouted in the yard.
Naturally, I didn't dare to do such a thing in public, but hid under a few fruit trees behind the house.
I panicked, and the control of the seal script was naturally a mess, and the water fell down with a snap, hitting the peach tree next to me, and the splashes of water poured on me.
I walked out with some chagrin.
"You kid, where did you get wet?" Grandpa immediately complained when he saw me going up and down.
"I don't blame it. When I first went to the woods, a cloud of unmelted snow suddenly fell. It just got me wet. "Naturally, I don't dare to tell the truth.
"There's still snow in the trees?" Grandpa looked at me suspiciously. Now the snow in the village is almost finished. Only the north side of the roof still has scattered snow. All that's left is the snowy piles in the corners, or the snowdrifts that the kids have piled up. The snowman that I built with Mr. Lin, although I brought snow from all over the place many times to fill it, it seemed that it would be difficult for Mr. Lin to return to the village.
"There was snow, blocked by the leaves, and it never melted, and who knew that when I passed underneath, it suddenly fell. It's all you shouting, if I didn't run so fast, I wouldn't have been smashed. I complained.
Grandpa didn't bother to ask if there was snow on the tree.
"Have you done all your winter vacation homework? You're about to sign up, and if you haven't finished your winter vacation homework, the teacher won't sign you up when the time comes. Grandpa asked.
My face darkened, if Mr. Lin didn't come back, would I still meet Mr. Lin who treated me like that in the future?
Naturally, my grandfather knew what I was thinking: "Yangyang, Mr. Lin is a native of the city and a cultured person, how can he stay in our poor ravines for the rest of his life? I heard from Principal Han in the village that Mr. Lin was originally temporarily sent by the Education Bureau. Maybe we'll be able to send a full-fledged teacher this semester. ”
"I see. "I'm not interested in the next topic anymore, and I don't want to take on that fact. But I still hope in my heart that Mr. Lin can still come.
I remembered the snowman I built with Mr. Lin, and thought to myself, "Maybe when the snowman melts, Mr. Lin will come back." ”
I was actually very worried that Mr. Lin would leave me like my parents. And then never to be seen again.
Grandpa plans to take advantage of the weather to start getting warmer, go down to the fish pond to plug the culvert, close the pond water, and when there are fish fry, you can raise fish. This fish pond gave me and my grandfather a big deal last year. We're going to do a big job this year.
"Second uncle, it's so cold, why did you go into the water? Didn't you have a leg disease before? If you have a leg disease, then what will happen to your family's land?" said Uncle Thirteen, squatting on the bank of the pond and talking to his grandfather, who was working in the pond.
"Cheng Gao is here. You go into the house and sit down. I'm done right now. Don't worry about my leg disease, I don't know what's going on, I haven't had a leg disease this year. It seems to be already good. Grandpa noticed that his leg disease had been cured unconsciously.
"Okay, you're an old man, it's so easy?" asked Uncle Thirteen in disbelief.
"Are you just okay with the second uncle's leg?" Grandpa glanced at Uncle Thirteen angrily.
"No, second uncle, I didn't mean that. Aren't I worried about your leg attack?" Uncle Thirteen hurriedly explained.
"What are you nervous about? Your second uncle and I are not old and confused! Let's go and sit at home. Grandpa smiled and washed the mud off his legs, put on the slippers on the shore and walked home.
As soon as I entered the door, my grandfather shouted to me, "Yangyang, pour tea for your thirteenth uncle." ”
"Yangyang, don't pour tea, it's not the first time I've come to your house. Uncle Thirteen pulled me to his side, "Yangyang is growing up so fast." Looks like a ten-year-old. ”
"It's just lazy. Although Grandpa said this, his words were full of pride.
"You kid, how can you know so many things? You are also raising pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, and you also know how to raise fish. The adults in the village don't know as much as you. Tell Uncle Thirteen, do you want Mom and Dad?"
I pursed my mouth tightly and didn't nod.
"Don't blame Mom and Dad, they don't have a good time outside. The people who go out to work in our village don't have much education, so they know how to do some hard work. The wages are also not much. Your mom and dad also brought your brother there, and the pressure was also very high. I have to work overtime every day. There is overtime pay for overtime work during the Chinese New Year, as well as red envelopes. Do you think they really don't want to come back? Uncle Thirteen patted me on the shoulder.
Uncle Thirteen came to our house, mainly to help my parents bring things over. A few years ago, my grandfather smoked bacon and air-dried a few ducks. Two chickens are ready to be brought alive and placed in a cardboard box. There are also some local products from Octagon Village, which are full of a big bag.
"I'm a little embarrassed to let you bring so much stuff along. But they also wreak iniquity outside. If I don't bring it with me, I can't rest assured. Grandpa said with some guilt.
The thirteenth uncle hurriedly said, "Second uncle, what are you talking about?" We went with a lot of people, and we were going to charter a car. This thing just takes up a place. The car went directly to where we were staying. Brother Qi will come over to get it then. I don't really have to put in a bit of effort. ”
"This duck is for you. The duck fed by Yangyang tastes good, you can also taste it. "Grandpa put another duck in a plastic bag.
Uncle Thirteen looked around the house, and naturally knew that this big bag of things was already all in the family.
"Second uncle, what are you doing here? Family, what are you doing here? Although Brother Qi and I are not brothers, we are not much different from brothers. If that's the case, I won't bring this to you. Whoever you love to bring to bring it over. Uncle Thirteen said angrily.
"Uncle Thirteen. This duck is really a taste for you. The taste is really different. Don't worry, my grandfather and I didn't have anything to eat at home. During the Chinese New Year, I bought a lot of chickens and ducks on the street and came back. There are still a few hens in the house, which have already begun to lay eggs. After that, my grandfather and I had eggs every day. There are also a lot of preserved fish at home. I said quickly.
"You kid. And said that you don't care about your parents. It's clear that this is in my heart. I'm afraid that Uncle Thirteen won't bring you anything over. Okay, I'll take the duck. Mom and Dad are not at home, and no one gives you New Year's money. Last year, you took the first place in the final exam, and Uncle Thirteen gave you a reward. Uncle Thirteen took out fifty yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into my hand, "Come on and read." When you grow up, you must go out of Octagon Village. For those of us in the countryside, there is a way out of study. Otherwise, we will have to go out and work as coolies as our generation did. ”
I refused to ask for Uncle Thirteen's money, and Uncle Thirteen said unhappily: "If you refuse to ask Uncle Thirteen's money, Uncle Thirteen will not bring anything to your parents." And don't want your duck. ”
I was a little hesitant. Grandpa spoke at this time: "Cheng Gao, you." Yangyang, you take it. Remember the words of your thirteenth uncle. Study hard. ”
On the day Uncle Thirteen went to Guangdong, my grandfather and I took Lao Huang to send Uncle Thirteen to the street.
"Second uncle, Yangyang, go back. Yangyang, listen to grandpa. Be a little more energetic and go to university in the future. Uncle Thirteen patted me on the shoulder.
My grandfather and I walked back in silence. I didn't know what to say, so I sent Uncle Thirteen away, feeling a little empty in my heart.
"Alas, morning glory. Morning glory. "A middle-aged man in his forties and fifties chased after us.
I stopped with my grandfather.
"Uncle, let me ask you something. The middle-aged man walked up and handed out a cigarette to Grandpa.
"What's the matter?" asked Grandpa.
"The contemptible person is called He Dachao. Did you sell a few cages of local chickens in the town last year?" He Dachao introduced himself.
"yes. What's wrong?" Grandpa asked, a little confused.
"Don't worry, old man, I just want to ask you if you still have local chickens for sale at home? I run a restaurant in the town. I bought several chickens from you that day. Do you remember?" He Dachao was slightly fat, and when he smiled, he was still more affinity.
I immediately remembered, "You were the first to buy our chickens." ”
"Yes, yes, that's me. He Dachao nodded.
"What? You still want to buy chickens? But we have more than 20 chickens in total. I've sold them all. I fed a batch during the Chinese New Year, but I haven't grown up yet. Grandpa said.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll leave you the phone number. When your chickens are raised, call me, and I will charge you for the local chickens you feed at a high price. However, it is not allowed to be fed. It has to be the same as the chicken during the Chinese New Year last year. He Dachao said.
