After the New Year, time seemed to speed up. In the blink of an eye, school started after the Lantern Festival, but Miss.Lin still didn't appear. I went to the primary school many times, but there was no news.
Although the huge "fireworks" on the eve of the New Year almost scared me out of my wits, I found a new joy. Of course, I didn't dare to set off such a huge "fireworks" again. But it didn't stop me from trying all kinds of seal scripts. I didn't use pen and paper now, I just used my finger to draw something in the air. But it wasn't easy to succeed every time. Even if I had pen and paper, I couldn't succeed every time, and the success rate wasn't high. It was very difficult to draw something in the air.
I successfully drew a water character, and it floated in the air. The surrounding air seemed to become moist, and soon a crystal clear rainwater condensed in the air. This water was even purer than the well water. Under the blue sky, it looked like a ball of blue crystal. There was a layer of water on the outside, and it seemed to be a layer of flowing metal. The sunlight passed through this ball of water, and rays of rainbows were reflected. It was too beautiful! I was mesmerized by this beautiful thing that I created.
"Yang Yang!" Grandpa didn't see me, so he shouted in the yard.
I naturally didn't dare to do this in public, so I hid under a few fruit trees behind the house.
I panicked, and my control of the seal script was naturally messed up. The ball of water fell, and hit the peach tree beside me, and the water splashed everywhere, drenching me.
I walked out in annoyance.
"Child, where did you get wet?" Grandpa saw that I was dripping wet from head to toe, and immediately complained.
"You can't blame me. When I went to the forest, a ball of snow that hadn't melted suddenly fell down. That's why I got wet, "I naturally didn't dare to tell the truth.
"There's still snow on the tree?" Grandpa looked at me suspiciously. The snow in the village was almost all melted. Only the northern part of the roof still had scattered snow. Other than that, there was only snow piled up in the corner, or the snow piled up by the children. The snowman that Miss.Lin and I built, although I've brought snow from everywhere to fill it up, it seems that it won't be able to last until Miss.Lin returns to the village.
"There was snow, but it was blocked by the leaves and didn't melt. Who knew that when I passed by below, it would suddenly fall down. If I didn't run so fast, then I wouldn't have been hit, "I complained.
Grandpa didn't ask if there was still snow on the tree.
"Have you finished your winter vacation homework? You haven't finished your winter vacation homework, so the teacher won't sign you up. "Grandpa asked.
My face darkened. If Miss.Lin didn't come back, would I still meet a teacher who treated me like Miss.Lin did in the future?
Grandpa naturally knew what I was thinking. "Yang Yang, Miss.Lin is a city dweller, and she's also a cultured person. How could she possibly stay in a poor village like ours for the rest of her life? I heard from Principal Han in the village that Miss.Lin was sent here by the Education Bureau on a temporary basis. Who knows, they might even send an official teacher over this semester. "
"I understand." I had no interest in the following topic, and I didn't want to accept this fact. However, I still hoped that Miss.Lin would still come.
I thought of the snowman that Miss.Lin and I built together, and thought to myself, "Maybe when the snowman melts, Miss.Lin will come back."
I was actually very worried that Miss.Lin would leave me like my parents. Then it would be difficult to see her again.
Grandpa was preparing to go into the fish pond to block the culvert while the weather was starting to warm up. Then, he would be able to raise fish when there are young fish. This fish pond gave me and grandpa a lot of benefits last year. This year, we were preparing to do something big.
"Second Uncle, it's so cold, why did you go into the water? Didn't you have leg problems before? What would happen to your family's farmland if your leg got problems? "Thirteenth Uncle squatted on the shore of the pond and said to grandpa who was working in the pond.
"Chenggao, you're here. Go sit in the room first. I'm done in a short while. Don't worry about my leg, I don't know what happened, but my leg didn't get problems this year. It seems to have gotten better. "Grandpa only just noticed that his leg problem had gotten better without him noticing.
"Got better? That's an old and stubborn disease, how did it get better so easily? "Thirteenth Uncle asked in disbelief.
"You can't get better just because of your second uncle's leg?" Grandpa rolled his eyes at Thirteenth Uncle in annoyance.
"No, Second Uncle, that's not what I meant. I was just worried that your leg problem would act up. "Thirteenth Uncle quickly explained.
"What are you nervous about? Your second uncle hasn't gone senile yet! Come, let's go in and sit. "Grandpa smiled as he washed the mud off his legs, then put on the slippers on the shore and walked into the house.
As soon as we entered the house, grandpa shouted at me: "Yang Yang, pour tea for your Thirteenth Uncle."
"Yang Yang, don't pour tea, it's not the first time I've come to your house." Thirteenth Uncle pulled me to his side, "Yang Yang, you're growing up so fast. You look like a ten year old now. "
"It's just laziness." Although grandpa said that, there was a hint of pride in his words.
"Child, you're so young, how do you know so many things? You raise pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, and even fish. Even the adults in the village don't know as much as you. Tell Thirteenth Uncle, do you miss mom and dad? "
I tightly pursed my lips and didn't nod.
"Don't blame mom and dad, it's not easy for them to live outside. The workers in our village don't have much education, they only know how to do some manual labor. Their wages aren't much either. Your mom and dad also brought your little brother there, so the pressure is very high. They have to work overtime every day. They get overtime pay and red packets for working overtime during the New Year. Do you really think they don't want to come back? They want to come back too. "Thirteenth Uncle patted my shoulder.
Thirteenth Uncle came to our house mainly to help my mom and dad bring things over. Before the New Year, grandpa smoked some bacon and dried a few ducks. He was going to bring two chickens over alive and put them in a cardboard box. There were also some local products from Ba Jiao Village that filled a big bag.
"I'm really sorry for making you bring so many things over. However, they have also committed crimes outside. If I don't bring them over, I won't feel at ease. "Grandpa said guiltily.
Thirteenth Uncle quickly said, "Second Uncle, what are you talking about? We have a lot of people going, so we're going to rent a car. These things just take up a lot of space. The car will go directly to where we live. Seventh Brother will come over to get it. I don't need to do anything. "
"This wax duck is for you. Yang Yang feeds it, it tastes pretty good. You guys should try it. "Grandpa put another duck in a plastic bag.
Thirteenth Uncle looked around the house, he naturally knew that this big bag was all the things in the house.
"Second Uncle, what are you doing? We're family, why are you doing this? Although Seventh Brother and I aren't blood brothers, we're not much different from blood brothers. If you're like this, I won't bring this for you. You can bring it to whoever you want. "Thirteenth Uncle said angrily.
"Thirteenth Uncle. This duck is really for you to try. The taste is really different. Don't worry about me and grandpa not having anything to eat at home. During Chinese New Year, I bought a lot of chickens and ducks from the streets. There are also a few hens at home that have already started laying eggs. From now on, grandpa and I will have eggs to eat every day. There's also a lot of dried fish at home. "I quickly said.
"You child. You said you didn't miss your parents. You clearly have them in your heart. You're scared that Thirteenth Uncle won't bring anything for you. Okay, I'll take the duck. Mom and dad aren't at home, so no one will give you New Year's money. You got first place in the final exam last year, so Thirteenth Uncle will give you a reward. "Thirteenth Uncle took out fifty kuai from his pocket and stuffed it into my hands." Work hard on your studies. When you grow up, you must leave Bajiao Village. Us people in the countryside, studying is the only way out. Otherwise, you can only be like the people of my generation, going out to do manual labor. "
I didn't want Thirteenth Uncle's money. Thirteenth Uncle said unhappily, "If you don't want Thirteenth Uncle's money, Thirteenth Uncle won't bring anything for your mom and dad. I also don't want your dried duck. "
I was a bit hesitant. At this time, grandpa said, "Cheng Gao, you. Yang Yang, take it. Remember your Thirteenth Uncle's words. Study hard. "
The day Thirteenth Uncle went to Guangdong, Grandpa and I took Old Huang to see him off.
"Second Uncle, Yang Yang, you guys can go back. Yang Yang, listen to grandpa. Work hard and get into university in the future. "Thirteenth Uncle patted my shoulder.
Grandpa and I walked back to the house in silence. We didn't know what to say. After seeing Thirteenth Uncle off, we felt a bit empty in our hearts.
"Hey, Lead the Cow. Lead the Cow. "A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties chased after us.
Grandpa and I stopped.
"Grandpa, I want to ask you something." The middle-aged man walked over and gave grandpa a cigarette.
"What is it?" Grandpa asked.
"This humble one is called He Dachao. Last year, didn't you sell a few cages of chickens in town? "He Dachao introduced himself.
"Yes. What's wrong? "Grandpa asked with a bit of confusion.
"Don't worry, I just wanted to ask if you have any free-range chickens for sale at home. I own a restaurant in town. That day, I bought a few chickens from you. Do you still remember? "He Dachao's body was a bit plump, but his smile was still warm.
I immediately remembered. "You were the first one to buy our chickens."
"Yes, yes, that's me." He Dachao nodded.
"What? You still want to buy chickens? But our family raised more than twenty chickens in total. We sold all of them. We fed a batch during the New Year, but they haven't grown up yet. "Grandpa said.
"It's fine. I'll give you my phone number. When your chickens grow up, give me a call. I'll buy your chickens at a high price. However, you can't feed them. They have to be the same as the chickens during the New Year last year. "He Dachao said.
