Today is a small year, and the alley in the courtyard is filled with the sound of children setting off firecrackers.
It’s finally the New Year, and everyone can set off firecrackers. There are so few entertainment activities, why don’t you set them off to your heart’s content?
At the entrance of the alley, a group of children wearing cotton-padded jackets were playing with small whips. Xiaodang and Huaihua could only squat aside and watch them play, looking for the unlit small whips on the ground, with deep envy in their eyes.
.
"Xiaodang, Sophora japonica."
The two of them were squatting on the ground looking for the little whip when the stick came back.
"Brother is here." Huaihua shouted happily.
Xiaodang looked at Banggeng and couldn't hide the envy in his tone: "Brother, today is Xiaonian... Their family has money to set off firecrackers, you see."
Banggeng said: "Even on New Year's Day, our family has no money to set off firecrackers. Let's go home quickly, ah!"
"No, I want to see it."
Sophora japonica was very reluctant to go back. She wanted to set off firecrackers so much. Even if she just watched others set off firecrackers, it would be a good thing.
Bangge and Xiaodang had nothing to do with this sister, they could only look at her. At this time, Xiaodang suddenly asked: "By the way, brother, what were you doing just now?"
Banggeng pursed his lips and said: "No, I will be entering junior high school next summer. Those of us in the sixth grade of primary school who have not paid the tuition must return to school. The school asked us to pay the tuition before the Chinese New Year. Today the teachers are
I’m coming for a home visit.”
Their family was also accustomed to pressing tuition fees, so Xiaodang said urgently: "Then tell mom and hide quickly."
It is common for their family to owe tuition fees, and they are always the last group. The children also think that they can just hide away, and there is no rush anyway.
Banggeng shook his head and said, "No need."
Xiaodang immediately became anxious: "Mom will cut off the salary today. I paid your two and a half yuan in tuition, but you won't be able to celebrate the New Year."
The situation at home, even at such a young age, Xiao Dang knows that calculations have no regard for age.
After paying the tuition, it will definitely be very difficult during the Chinese New Year. If you pay in advance, you have to consider more than a month of food expenses.
"That's right, that's right, mom also said she would make me a new dress."
The younger Huaihua was also anxious, as this was related to whether she could wear and wash clothes during the New Year.
This is a problem with family education. It is normal for children to think about themselves, but they ignore that many things in the family are hard-won.
Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang are lacking in family education. They only know that their children want it, and they want to provide it for their children, but they do not consider the actual situation.
"You don't have to worry about this. I have already thought of a way. Someone will pay the tuition for me."
The person who paid the tuition was He Yuzhu, who was next door to them. Bangge knew that He Yuzhu wanted to find a partner, and he was also his class teacher.
The head teacher is going to visit home today, and he can use this reason to get tuition fees from He Yuzhu.
Little Sophora Flower immediately said: "Then can you help me buy a pack of whips? Two cents per cent can buy a hundred whips."
Xiaodang scolded softly: "Sophora japonica, don't embarrass your brother."
"It's okay." Bangge seemed to have thought of something, patted Xiaodang and said, "It's okay, I will find a way."
Then BangGeng left.
Xiaodang looked at Sophora japonica unhappily and said, "You want me to be a thief again, don't you?"
Last time, the two sisters wanted to eat meat, and then Banggeng went to steal the chicken. In the end, He Yuzhu lost five yuan.
"But, but, I really want to set off firecrackers." Sophora japonica said.
She also knew that her sister must also want to set off firecrackers, so she said flatteringly: "But I don't dare to set off firecrackers. I still want my sister to help me set off the firecrackers."
When Xiaodang heard this, he agreed. He would definitely help him release the little whip of Sophora japonica, and he would be able to play with it twice.
So the two sisters remained silent and squatted on the ground again, admiringly looking at the children who were using the whip.
...
Bangge came to He Yuzhu's only way home, waiting for He Yuzhu's visit.
After waiting in the corner for a long time, Banggeng finally saw He Yuzhu coming home with a lunch box.
Seeing He Yuzhu's back, Banggan quickly shouted: "Uncle Silly."
He Yuzhu stopped and saw that it was a stick, and said funnyly: "You little bastard, you still dare to see me? Are you stealing my intestines? Who will eat it?"
Bangge said with a playful smile: "Hey, that's not what I'm talking about."
"Hey, if you don't tell me about that, I won't listen to anything else." He Yuzhu said as he picked up his net bag and was about to leave.
Banggeng raised his neck and said loudly: "I'll call Teacher Ran here. What reward will you give me?"
Teacher Ran?
He Yuzhu paused, then turned around and raised the net bag in his hand towards Banggeng, and said: "I see there is not a box of braised pork. If you can call Teacher Ran over, this will all be yours."
Looking at the lunch box, Banggeng had no intention of eating meat today and said: "The third uncle has done so little for you, so you can give him so many local products."
He Yuzhu was happy when he heard this: "Little bastard, I really underestimate you. Tell me, what do you want?"
Bangge proudly stretched out his finger and gestured, and said: "Two eight yuan."
As soon as money was mentioned, He Yuzhu became smart and said, "Why do kids want money?"
Banggeng became anxious when he heard this, and quickly explained: "Two and a half yuan to pay the tuition, and I will buy the cannon for the three cents."
"I'll give you three cents first, and I'll give the remaining two and a half dollars to Teacher Ran myself."
He Yuzhu kept an eye on him, and for the tuition fee, Bangge would bring Teacher Ran here no matter what.
Then He Yuzhu took off his gloves, took out the money from his pocket, and counted three cents from it.
"What if you don't pay?"
"I'm not your stupid uncle, but if you dare to mention this stupid word in front of Teacher Ran, I will slap you."
Banggeng took the thirty cents from He Yuzhu's hand and said happily: "Maybe, I'll call you tonight."
He Yuzhu turned around with a smile on his face, and said to himself: "It will take time."
Banggen took the money and took his two sisters to the supply and marketing cooperative, and bought a hundred whips for 2 cents.
I split a hundred lashes with my two sisters, each of them had twenty-five cents, and I had fifty. The remaining nine cents were three cents each, and then I happily set off the firecrackers.

When Lin Fan returned to the workshop, he took Chen Tao with him. He had already told Chen Tao about the introduction of steel rolling.
But the usual work of a fitter still involves grinding parts, rolling steel, and even more parts.
"Chen Tao, I've given you the methods and notes for rolling steel. Remember it more and watch me operate more. Proficiency makes perfect, you know?"
"Master Lin, I understand."
Then Lin Fan said: "This fitter is not only responsible for rolling steel. After the steel rolling, we have to do the work of fitter. Many parts have to be made one by one with the tools in our hands. So first of all, we must be familiar with the fitter."
