Cai Wenqi has just turned 12 years old this year and is in the first grade of junior high school in Dawa County. She has a younger brother named Cai Wenxuan, who is 8 and a half years old and is in the second grade of elementary school this year.
In this era, primary school has a five-year system.
In this era, both medical conditions and economic development are very backward. It is rare to see a car on the streets in a county.
In this era, there are wastelands everywhere that are waiting for development.
In this era, the per capita income was less than 300 yuan.
But education will not be poor in this era.
In this era, people’s teachers will not be treated badly.
Cai Wenqi's father teaches in Dawa County. Although the family situation is not very wealthy, it can be regarded as a well-off family.
At least it's better than 80 or 90 percent of people.
Cai Wenqi is a smart little girl who studies diligently. With the blessing of her father's excellent genes, her grades have always been at the top of her class and she has won various prizes and certificates.
In this era when material resources are not abundant and college students are in extremely short supply, Cai Wenqi will undoubtedly be a seedling, and her future is bright.
Even if she does not get the first place in her grade or class, as long as she can go to a university, no matter it is a good or bad university, she can get an iron rice bowl and be reused by the country.
Cai Wenqi is polite and kind, and has the demeanor of a big city person.
Naturally, this has something to do with Cai Wenqi’s father’s education.
Since childhood.
Cai Wenqi's father taught Cai Wenqi to be honest and trustworthy, abide by the law, respect the old and love the young, and have dreams and pursuits.
This summer.
Cai Wenqi's parents took Cai Wenqi and her younger brother Cai Wenxuan to her grandma's house for vacation.
Cai Wenqi’s father warned:
"After we go to your grandma's house, we are guests, so we must be more polite, not mess around with grandma's things, and say hello to everyone we see, right?"
Cai Wenqi said: "Dad, don't look at anything that's not polite, don't hear anything that's not polite, don't say anything that's not polite, don't do anything that's not polite, right?"
Cai Wenqi’s father gave him a kind look.
The father and daughter soon understood.
Cai Wenqi's father is Cai Guangkun. He is an interesting man. When playing with his children, he can often get into the state immediately and transform himself into an innocent child.
Father and daughter seem to be carved from the same mold.
In Cai Wenqi, you can see a lot of Cai Guangkun's shadow.
Apart from their very different appearances, the father and daughter are highly similar in other aspects.
Before departure.
Cai Wenqi and his brother are full of expectations for their grandma's house, especially when they think of the pears, peaches, and apricots from their grandma's house, their mouths water.
"Dad, I heard that there are many children near my grandma's house, and they know how to play."
"Of course."
Cai Guangkun said: "Wanning County is much larger than our Dawa County. The children here are well-informed, especially because they are very obedient——"
As he spoke, he stared at Cai Wenxuan and said:
"Cai Wenxuan, you have to learn from others!"
"Dad, if I don't learn, I'm very obedient. They can't learn enough from me!" Cai Wenxuan argued.
Cai Guangkun smiled and stopped teasing him.
He hugged Cai Wenqi and placed him on the front beam, then held Cai Wenxuan and put him on the back seat. He pushed the bicycle on the ground to help him rush forward, and took the opportunity to climb over and get on the bike.
Riding a 28-inch pole slowly on the dusty country road.
Cai Guangkun’s wife Wang Shuying rides alone.
In this era, a bicycle is almost equivalent to a car in a few decades. Anyone who can ride a bicycle is as popular as driving a big sports car.
Therefore, the bicycle can also be regarded as a symbol of the comprehensive strength of a family.
......
......
At the same time.
Wanning County, in the courtyard of Bianhua Community.
A group of little boys were chasing each other. Five children were chasing each other. The little boy running in front had long legs and was far away from the other little boys behind.
The little boy shouted proudly:
"Hahaha, you can't catch up with me!"
The little boy in the back was obviously not happy.
Someone jokingly scolded the little boy one or two dirty words, which was not painful or unpleasant.
Some people angrily cursed the little boy's parents, but it didn't hurt.
There was a little boy who didn't say anything. He took off the slingshot hanging from his neck, took out a small stone from his trouser pocket, put it on his wallet, and stretched the rubber band hard.
He snorted coldly.
"Eat my grandson."
Paji!
The stone hit the little boy's calf impartially.
The little boy let out a cry of pain, knelt on the ground, hugged his calf and rolled around. The little boy behind saw it and laughed at him, or whistled for fun.
The little boy who hit the person raised the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly:
"Who asked you to run so fast? Is it your biological father or your biological mother in front of you?"
Hahaha!
Hahaha!
The little boy who was beaten covered his calf and felt relieved for a while. It seemed that nothing was wrong. Before a group of naughty boys came to watch the fun, he suddenly got up and ran away.
"Xie Lin, your shooting is really accurate!"
A little boy compliments like a decent person.
Another little boy came over and said enviously: "Xie Lin, what is your slingshot made of?"
Xie Lin was very proud and held the slingshot in his hand as if on display to the friends present.
While explaining: "My brother used No. 8 wire to twist the handle of my slingshot for me, my rubber band was bought for me by my mother, and my wallet was cut by my father from his big leather shoes." p>
"So awesome! No wonder you shoot so accurately."
"His slingshot was made by his whole family. I really envy him!"
"My dad wouldn't even give me a piece of cloth, let alone cut his leather shoes, it would kill someone!"
"Xie Lin, can you ask your brother to help me twist a handle?"
Xie Lin said proudly: "Okay! What's your credit?"
"Credit?"
The little boy tilted his head and thought for a while, then replied: "Can I exchange it for a piece of No. 8 wire? Your brother can use it to twist three."
Xie Lin said: "Okay."
Another little boy said anxiously: "Xie Lin, do you still have rubber bands?"
Xie Lin: "Yes! You want it too?"
"That's right!"
"What credit?"
"Can I exchange this for it?"
The little boy said, taking out a small black pin from his trouser pocket.
"What can this do?" Xie Lin looked at the little boy with disdain, somewhat reluctantly.
The little boy folded the pin hard, and one side was bent, and he took out a handmade jewelry like a hanging bat from his pocket. It was very rough and was made of a handful of thin threads twisted together.
Schelling was still reluctant, but became curious.
"How to use this?"
"Lend me your slingshot."
Schelling handed the slingshot to the little boy.
The little boy put the folded pin on the slingshot, pulled it gently, let go, and the pin shot out.
It hit the tree directly.
Seeing this scene, all the little boys present were stunned, extremely envious that they could have one.
Xie Lin even directly agreed to the little boy's request and took the little boy's pin as his own on the spot.
I tried several times with it on a slingshot, and the shots hit the target accurately.
Xie Lin said proudly: "If you shoot birds with this thing, you should hit it with perfect accuracy."
"Yes! This is really a good thing."
Xie Lin asked curiously: "Then what is this called?"
"Darts!" the little boy replied.
Then he changed his mind and emphasized with distrust: "Xie Lin, don't forget to give me a rubber band!"
Xie Lin had no time to talk to the little boy and just played with the darts in his hand.
After trying it a dozen times in a row, I held the dart in my hand and said to myself:
"If I sharpen this dart, maybe it can even pierce a stone."
When I thought about it, I immediately took a stone and polished it.
The darts were polished like needle points. Every time the little boy on the side saw Xie Lin clipping the darts to his wallet, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
Some boys who are timid just put down their attitude and say nice things:
"Xie Lin, brother Xie, don't face me. I'll get you something delicious this afternoon."
Xie Lin said greedily: "What's delicious?"
The boy thought for a while and said: "Just noodles."
"Okay, if you dare to go back on your word, haha, I'll make your head grow a horn."
"No, no."
Xie Lin smiled proudly, and the desire in his heart quickly expanded.
Instead, he set his target on the little boy who he usually disliked the most, and said sternly:
"Grandson turtle, how can you honor your uncle?"
"I, I..."
The little boy was stunned.
Standing neatly and motionless, my heart was almost in my throat.
Xie Lin sneered, gently lifted the slingshot, and made a fake shooting motion.
The little boy was so frightened that he reflexively raised his arms to block his forehead. His body swayed, his center of gravity became unstable, and he fell to the ground.
It actually made the little boy beside him burst into laughter.
While laughing, some people started to worry about themselves.
Schelling’s slingshot doesn’t have eyes, and almost everyone present knows what kind of person Schelling is.
At this time.
Two little boys in the crowd gathered together and whispered.
"My mother told me that Xie Lin's father is from the Water Bureau. Xie Lin's father is a local gangster in our Wanning County. It's okay to kill people. He doesn't even have to go to jail. No one dares to mess with him in Wanning County.
Him."
"Yes, the Xie Lin family is rich, and the police don't care if they kill people."
"So Xie Lin, don't underestimate him. He will do anything when pushed. We have to be careful. It's best to avoid him."
"My mother won't allow me to play with Xie Lin."
"Keep your voice down, don't let him hear you."
A smooth-tongued little boy who liked Xie Lin diverted Xie Lin's attention outside the courtyard wall.
"Xie Lin, your shooting skills are very accurate, right?"
"Huh? How dare you doubt me?"
"No, no, I mean, can you shoot into the acacia tree from here?"
Xie Lin stood on a huge rock, looked at the acacia tree pointed by the boy, and said with a cruel smile:
"What should I do if I get shot?"
"If you shoot...I, I will be a pig." The little boy laughed after saying it.
Xie Lin was also amused.
I was so happy that I almost fell off the boulder.
"You're going to make me laugh to death if you step on the horse!"
"Hahaha, I just said you can't do it!"
"I can't do it? If I shoot the employee, I'll pluck out your pig ears and feed them to the dogs."
"Ah ah! No! King Xie, you are my King Xie!"
"Fuck you!"
Xie Lin raised his leg and gave the little boy a kick.
Not only was the little boy not angry, he also laughed along with it.
