Chapter 12: The Poor Home Is Warm
Eleven-year-old Huang Han relied entirely on luck to play a slingshot, but the summer vacation of the fifth grade was completely different, shooting sparrows and cicadas was somewhat accurate, and the harvest was at most able to shoot more than a dozen sparrows in one afternoon.
Find the slingshot and fix it, replace the old rubber band, and try it tomorrow afternoon after school, I guess there will always be something to gain.
Huang Han tempted Liu Xiaoming and said: "The emphasis is on participation, how exciting it is to play with a slingshot, how much like a man, can you just say go or not?"
"Go, of course you have to go, the question is can you guarantee that you will not be left by the teacher tomorrow?"
"you, I'll get out of school on time from now on, and I'll be waiting at the door at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. ”
"Okay, don't worry, I'm not afraid of the teacher, there were a few times when I was named by the student on duty and was not left, and then no one put me on the blacklist, haha. Liu Xiaoming said proudly.
This is true, Liu Xiaoming's homeroom teacher is a single dog, he often goes to the canteen of the city government guest house to eat, and he is an acquaintance of Liu's father, and he can always have a few more pieces of meat when he eats meat, so he is looked at differently.
Liu Xiaoming saw that Huang Han refused to play "Jiaojiaoer" and did not pull hard, so he went to find someone again, there are many children these years, most of them are outside after school, and it is too easy to gather three or five boys.
Only then did Huang Han remember that he had most of the steamed buns in his pocket, took them out, broke off half of them, and sent them to his sister's mouth.
White-flour steamed buns will only be made during the Chinese New Year, and they can't be eaten at ordinary times, and it is even more impossible for Huang Daozhou's family to spend money and food stamps to buy them.
Huang Xin didn't open her mouth but asked, "Where did this steamed bun come from?"
Huang Han said truthfully: "It was given by my classmate Chengwenge!"
"Why did he give you steamed buns?"
"Because I told a story, he loved to hear it. ”
Huang Xin had already seen Huang Han's amazing performance just now, so she didn't ask any more questions at this time, and said, "I'm not hungry, you can eat it yourself!"
"Fool, you're already hungry, you can eat half of it, and I'll give it to my mother, and she'll be hungry too.
Hehe, maybe I'll get more good food tomorrow. ”
Huang Feng, who doesn't need to go to school, doesn't know where to go to play, maybe he is playing with a few little girls of the same age, otherwise he will definitely move a small stool to sit next to his brother and sister when he sees him sitting together.
Huang Han took the rest of the steamed buns to Zhang Fangfen and made sure to watch her eat them.
To be honest, it was already afternoon, Huang Xin and Zhang Fangfen were hungry, just a little steamed bun, and they were all happy to eat it.
Zhang Fangfen was as busy as ever, still sewing clothes with stitches and threads, and when Huang Han was eating steamed buns with his hands, she didn't let go of the work on her hands.
Huang Han has the arduous task of making a little bit of meat for this family, and he must prepare early.
He immediately went to rummage through a broken drawer under the bed, but fortunately, Huang Xin's performance just now shocked Huang Xin, and heard Huang Han say that he had completed his homework at school.
Otherwise, where would she be willing Huang Han to repair the slingshot, she would have already pressed Huang Han to bury her head in her homework.
In the end, Huang Xin gritted her teeth and contributed eight rubber bands that she had just bought, which she used to tie her braids, three for one penny and ten for three cents.
Buying three cents at a time can give you an extra rubber band, Huang Xin originally took a penny to go to the grocery store affiliated with the sugar, tobacco and liquor company to consume, but when she saw this "big discount", she ran home and reported this fact to her mother.
Zhang Fangfen thought that Huang Xin had a plan and would definitely live in the future, so she immediately added two cents to invest, so Huang Xin had ten rubber bands with braids, and now there are eight brand new ones in hand.
The final result was that Huang Han had the slingshot, a big killing weapon to slaughter the little sparrow.
The face is earned by himself, if it weren't for Huang Han's outstanding performance today, getting a steamed bun and wanting to share it with his sister and mother, Huang Xin would never believe Huang Han's nonsense.
Huang Han found that the skeleton of his slingshot was relatively hard, and the leather used to wrap the pebbles was not rotten, but one rubber band was broken, and three of them were aging, and maybe they would break if he pulled hard.
He didn't know that Huang Xin had another rubber band, and wanted to ask her to tie two braids, because it was a little troublesome to replace the rubber bands with head bands and cloth strips, and the same could be tied with braids.
Huang Xin asked to understand Huang Han's purpose, although he didn't believe that Huang Han could beat a few sparrows home to stir up, but he also had illusions, between Huang Han's amazing performance, he decisively pressed all his net worth "stud".
In order to prevent returning empty-handed, Huang Han took advantage of the fact that it was not dark and went to practice by the small river more than 20 meters behind the house.
After hitting dozens of pebbles, I actually found the feel, but unfortunately the sparrows like to gather in the evening, and they are all chirping in the small forest north of the stadium, and there are basically no few here.
The sky gradually darkened, and Huang Han was worried about stepping on poop, so he didn't dare to wander around the river anymore and returned home.
At this time, Huang Daozhou had already returned home from work, and today he was lucky enough to borrow a bicycle, so he rode home, so he was a quarter of an hour early.
In these years, bicycles are one of the household belongings, and they cannot be borrowed casually, and it is certainly impossible for Huang Daozhou to borrow bicycles from anyone if he straightens his waist and is a man.
The bicycle he rode back was collective property, a bus from the briquette factory, but there were many idlers in the factory, and the bus was busy, so the chance of Huang Daozhou borrowing it was very small.
As soon as Huang Xin saw Huang Daozhou, she immediately told Huang Han's amazing performance, and then asked, "Dad, are boys very smart, and once they get their senses, they can never forget it?"
Huang Daozhou is almost fifty years old, of course he doesn't believe it, and he never forgets that he always hears someone mention it, they are all legendary prodigies, and living people have never seen them.
Even so, Huang Xin's words still made him quite pleased.
He said: "Where did Huang Han go? Did he make a 'horn' outside again? Call him back and ask him. ”
Huang Xin said: "Huang Han didn't go to the 'horn' today, saying that he was worried about soiling his clothes, so he took the slingshot to the river to practice his head. I'll go find him. ”
Huang Xin was just about to go out, Huang Han sneaked into the house, saw Huang Daozhou and immediately smiled and said, "Dad is off work, hard work." ”
This tone is obviously different from before, Huang Daozhou was not used to it for a while, and he was stunned.
Huang Han said again: "I remember that you want to drink a little wine at night, and I'll help you get a wine glass." ”
At this time, Huang Feng also jumped home with his meal, still reciting the multiplication formula taught by Huang Xin.
Huang Daozhou said happily: "I want to drink a little, I am happy today." I'll be even happier if you really get the hang of it. ”
"Haha, I've really learned how to make you happy not only today, but also make your whole family happy every day in the future. ”
Huang Han's psychological age is not a few years younger than Huang Daozhou, and his knowledge should be a few streets away from him, and the later generations are the information age, how can the knowledge he master be comparable to that of people in this era?
Of course, he would not have the awe of his childhood when he spoke, but although Huang Daozhou felt that something was wrong, he was a little inexplicable.
Zhang Fangfen, who was busy in the kitchen, fried a big bowl of snails, brought a plate of tofu to the small table for dinner, and said happily: "Huang Han is sensible, and if you pick the fruit, your clothes look very clean." ”
She was about to say that Huang Han was very filial, and her classmate gave a steamed bun and deliberately saved it and brought it back to share it with her, but when she saw the little girl, she decided to shut up.
The little girl is careful, if she learns that the steamed buns don't have her share, she suddenly cries nine times out of ten, Zhang Fangfen is already regretting that she didn't leave a bite for the little girl.
