Like a train with no terminal station, it has experienced countless stations and countless people; it has seen mountains and rivers; it has floated by. This is the life of a monk.
***********
I held the car door with both hands and refused to get out. My parents broke my hands apart and took me out of the car. I kept struggling. Teacher Lin also approached the window and covered his mouth with his hands, tears pouring down.
The ground flowed non-stop. As the car started moving, I stopped struggling and watched the car go further and further away with empty eyes. I could still see Teacher Lin walking to the back row and waving to me through the glass.
"Yangyang, Teacher Lin will come again in the future. Don't be sad." My mother stroked my head distressedly.
I didn't speak, and I didn't cry anymore. Teacher Lin said that you should be a man who doesn't cry in a woman's arms, and only when you grow up can you marry Teacher Lin as your mother-in-law.
My parents transferred all the money I earned this year to Guangdong to buy a house. They didn't plan to take me there, and I didn't want to go. I have an inexplicable fear about that strange and distant city. Maybe
I still have a glimmer of hope for Teacher Lin.
My parents left after finishing the double rush at home (double rush: early rice harvesting and late rice transplanting), and I seemed to have found the familiar feeling from before. Blood is thicker than water, and I can also feel my mother's love. But they left
When I was there, I was not as sad as the day Teacher Lin left.
My parents brought a lot of things there, and Lao Huang carried them all. My grandfather and I took my parents to the station. Originally, my grandfather was worried that I would be sad. But I was very calm.
"You silly kid. Why don't you go to Guangdong with your parents? It's a big city there, and we are in the countryside here. If you go there, your life will be a hundred times happier than at home. If you want to go, I will definitely ask your parents
Take you there." Grandpa took my hand and went to a noodle shop. An old man and a young man each ordered a bowl of noodles.
I ate deliciously: "They squeezed several people into one room in Guangdong, and the two of us lived in the same house. The money is gone. Let's make more this year. Next year we will build our own building. Even if they buy it
Even though we have a house, it’s still not as comfortable as ours.”
"Huh? That's the truth. It seems that my grandson thinks better than adults. I have a Qilin grandson in my family!" Grandpa laughed.
Grandpa was so happy that he insisted on carrying me home. I said on his back: "Grandpa, when I grow up, I will buy a beautiful car and drive to pick you up wherever I go."
"Okay, we Yangyang are ambitious. Grandpa will wait for Yangyang to drive to pick me up. Hahaha."
The old man and the young child kept laughing all the way. I actually forgot the sadness caused by Teacher Lin’s departure, and also the sadness of my parents’ alienation from me.
We were still a few miles away from home, and Hongqiu saw us from a distance. It was hovering above our heads and chirping a few times. I could hear its joy in its voice. I really envied it.
, it can fly freely in the sky without restraint. But I have to endure the sadness of separation.
Hongqiu's wife and children also came over, and Hongxing even naughtily landed on the ground, imitating me and grandpa, walking waddlingly. Of course it wouldn't fall on my shoulders, its claws are too sharp.
That would hurt me.
When he could see the village, Heidou came up with his harem.
"If you don't take care of the house at home, why are you here?" Although I scolded Heidou like this, I was very happy in my heart. I stroked Heidou's head with my hands. Heidou also swayed his body, shook his tail, and hummed with his head.
Rub my legs.
"Yangyang, if this continues, our family will become an animal world." Grandpa said with a smile.
In fact, there are three flowers in the house, the big flower and the small flower. They are actually very understanding of human nature. They are as smart as black beans. It’s just that these three sisters are a bit lazy. They usually don’t go out through the small door. They like to lie down during the day.
Sleeping in the circle.
Lao Huang is the most hard-working and uncomplaining one. He goes to the streets with us early in the morning and will moo to me when he is hungry. I take off the bamboo basket on his back and feed him the grass in it. By this time, the grass has long been eaten.
He ate them all. I went to the field and got a big bundle of sweet potato vines. This was his favorite. He took the sweet potato vines into his mouth with big mouthfuls and crunched them. It sounded delicious.
Before we even entered the yard, we saw Li Lijuan standing outside our yard with her grandparents. Black Bean and its three child brides were already standing guard at the door.
When she saw me, Li Lijuan was still a little shy and hid behind her grandmother Han Xianfeng and did not dare to come out. Li Lijuan's grandfather Li Fangben came up.
"Second brother, you are back from going to the street." Although the two families have different surnames, this is a popular name in the village. Li Fang originally followed his peers in the Huang family and called him grandpa.
"Oh, it's Fang Ben. It's you two who are here. Come in and sit down, come in and sit down." Grandpa quickly and enthusiastically invited Li Lijuan's grandparents and Li Lijuan into the house.
Li Fangben lifted the basket on the ground, which contained a basket of eggs.
"What are you doing?" Grandpa thought they were here to see a doctor. Knowing that their family was in trouble, he wanted to find an opportunity to tell me not to take their money.
"That's what happened." Li Fangben told the truth.
It turned out that Li Lijuan did not do well in the exam and kept crying when she got home. After asking, I found out that my two apprentices actually pushed her from second place to fourth place. In fact, it was Huang Shulang and Ma Jindong who were lucky and got the best scores.
The difference was not big at first. But Li Lijuan couldn't accept it. The family was so difficult, and her academic performance was the only thing Li Lijuan could do well. Now even her academic performance was surpassed by others, how could she accept it? She naturally knew that whether it was Huang Shulang or Ma Jindong,
It was only after she apprenticed with me that her academic performance surpassed the sky. So, she immediately made up her mind.
After Li Fangben and Han Xianfeng learned about the situation, they discussed it and came over with a basket of eggs.
Grandpa listened to Li Fangben's words and smiled bitterly in his heart. Everyone else regarded me as a treasure, but my parents regarded me as a piece of grass.
"Children are playing house, don't take it seriously. From now on, let Yangyang take care of Juanzi. Since it is children playing house, you can't take it seriously. Take the eggs back." Grandpa said with a smile.
"That's not possible. You must also show etiquette when you become a disciple. Our Li family is also a reasonable family. We can't let others say that we, the Li family, don't have etiquette." However, Li Fangben was determined to offer the apprenticeship ceremony.
I was talking to Li Lijuan in the yard: "Li Lijuan, if you accept me as your master, you will be called Senior Brother Huang Shulang from now on. Are you afraid that Huang Shulang and Ma Jindong will bully you?"
"I'm not afraid. They don't dare to bully me." Li Lijuan seemed quite confident when she said it.
"Why?" I was a little confused.
"Because I am a girl. Grandma said that I will be as beautiful as Teacher Lin when I grow up. If I am as beautiful as Teacher Lin in the future, I can marry you and be your aunt." Classmate Li Lijuan said seriously.
I scratched my head and shook my head: "When I grow up, I will marry Teacher Lin as my aunt. Even if you are as beautiful as Teacher Lin when you grow up, you are not Teacher Lin."
Two children, one young and one young, talk about life events, which is always a bit irrelevant.
Grandpa also had a good chat with Li Fangben. Although grandpa agreed to accept the basket of apprenticeship eggs, he asked Li Fangben and his wife to receive free treatment from me. Li Fangben and his wife are actually not very old, even younger than grandpa.
They are both still in their early fifties, but they are frail and sickly and look older.
Grandpa asked me to treat Mr. and Mrs. Li Fangben, while I went to prepare meals, and then went to the yard to buy two kilograms of rice wine. It was considered an apprenticeship banquet.
But something unexpected happened to my grandfather and me. The next day, many people from the village came to my house, all for the same purpose.
Huang Shulang, a guy who was ranked last in the exam, suddenly became a top student. Ma Jindong, who also had average grades, suddenly became the top student in the class. This kind of thing had already spread in the village. If it weren't for
Li Lijuan's family has taken the lead, and others may not come to their homes. Now that they are following the same example, everyone is coming to their homes. What's more, some students in the third or fourth grade want to demote their children to the second grade.
Grandpa didn't know what to do, so he simply put the decision-making power on me: "You can make up your own mind."
Grandpa has a headache. Please accept it because he is worried that my studies will be affected in the future. If you don’t accept it, you will offend the whole village.
