Return to the top of the road to champions

Stumbling out of the heavy, breathless room, Wan Yonggui stood in the yard panting heavily. The towel with many holes belonged to Tao Chengcai, because the one was not as good as a rag Towel, Wan Yonggui did not fall for Tao Chengcai, but Tao Chengcai just smiled naively, muttering that he wanted to save money for his second baby to study.

Raising his hand to cover his hot eye sockets, Wan Yonggui, who put down his arm for a while, turned his head and took a deep look at the small figure swaying slightly through the window, "Brother Chengcai, you are really unlucky."

Wan Yonggui, who muttered something, raised his legs and strode away, lying on the kang at night, with a heavy heart, Wan Yonggui learned what he saw today from Geng Erfeng, which made Geng Erfeng cry again.

Think about it, not to mention that even Geng Erfeng Tao Wei also misses her sister, mother passed away early, leaving the two sisters behind, in order to have a son, father married a stepmother, as the old saying goes, where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather, this is really true False, the two sisters who had been rubbed by the stepmother gritted their teeth and endured bitterly. The eldest sister who was three years older often stood in front of her. When she got married, Geng Erfeng didn't even dare to think about how life would be without her eldest sister at home.

Tilting his head and wiping his tears on the pillow, Geng Erfeng turned over and faced Wan Yonggui, "Yonggui, I must not leave my second child behind, that is my sister's only lifeline, so I will protect my sister to the death. I must take care of the second baby."

Geng Erfeng, who gritted his teeth and said this, even made a plan to take the child with the second child if Wan Yonggui objected. Wan Yonggui frowned fiercely at his wife's choked words, and stretched out his palm leaf The slap on Geng Erfeng's ass was just a slap, "What are you doing, am I an ungrateful person? Brother Chengcai didn't help us much when he was alive. Don't worry, we will take care of the second baby. It's okay, go to sleep, don't worry too much." Ponder."

After being slapped, Geng Erfeng blushed. Although her butt was hot, she felt more at ease in her heart. She rolled her eyes at Wan Yonggui who turned over to sleep, and quietly reached into the bed and grabbed Wan Yonggui's big rough hand , paused, and the heat of the tight grip made Geng Erfeng smile quietly.

In the early morning of the next day, Geng Erfeng got up before dawn, lit the fire to cook, filled the leftover dregs of last night with water and heated them, then put the curtain on it, and started cooking from the large tank at the door. Take out a few cornmeal tortillas and put them on top.

Soon, the small stove room was filled with steam, and the gurgling cauldron made Geng Erfeng, who had been busy all morning, wipe the sweat off his forehead, then turned around and went into the room to pat Wan who was sleeping soundly. Xiaodong then greeted Wan Erlu, the father-in-law found in the yard, and Wan Yonggui, who was preparing tools.

After Wan Xiaodong yawned and got up from the kang and put on his clothes, Geng Erfeng instructed Wan Xiaodong to greet Tao Wei to come over for dinner, and Wan Xiaodong, who was bald with cold water, agreed to put on his jacket and run away. go out.

Tao Wei, who was cleaning up the yard with a big broom, raised his head when he heard the shouts, and saw Wan Xiaodong who was standing at the gate of the yard smiled. The faint smile on his thin face made Wan Xiaodong feel It's uncomfortable, but Wan Xiaodong doesn't know why it's uncomfortable. He just knows that Erwa's smile is not as good-looking or as pleasing as before.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Tao Wei, who came home after dinner last night, boiled some hot water, washed his face, hands and feet, and lay down on the hot kang with his cotton-padded clothes and trousers in his arms. The quilt smelled of sweat, although he was used to the city. Tao Wei felt a lot of discomfort in life, but the exhaustion after reassurance still made Tao Wei fall into a deep sleep. After a night of sleepless sleep, Tao Wei, who was used to getting up early, opened his eyes before dawn.

Hiding in the quilt with only residual warmth, the wall of the kang that was extinguished because no one took care of it all night became cool, and the temperature in the whole room dropped very low, but Tao Wei didn't seem to feel it, just put the With his face buried in the cotton-padded jacket in his arms, he inhaled lightly and exhaled lightly, feeling the loneliness and peace of mind of being alone.

After lying down for a long time, Tao Wei, who was at ease, turned on the light in a fit of breath, put on the new cotton-padded clothes made by his second aunt, carefully put away the cotton-padded clothes and trousers made by his mother, and then went down to the kang. After putting water in the pot, the clean Tao Wei went back to the house to remove the quilt.

In the dim room, the corners of the quilts stacked on one side have turned black and smelled of sweat. Tao Wei, who grew up in the countryside, knew that every household did not have the habit of removing and washing quilts. It was washed once a year ago, but Tao Wei has developed a clean and tidy habit in his celibate life, not to mention washing once a year. In the past, Tao Wei would unpack and wash the quilt once a month, even if he was busy. Habits are not interrupted either.

The dexterous Tao Wei took off all the quilts on the kang, walked back to his room, removed the quilts and mattresses that had been piled up on the top of the kang for a long time, and returned to the kitchen with a pile of dirty quilts ready to be washed. Tao Wei put the quilts on the small stool, pulled out the large rusty basin from the firewood pile behind him, washed the joints, put all the quilts in the basin, opened the lid of the big pot, Holding the ladle on the side, pour water into the basin one by one.

When the water covered the dirty quilt, Tao Weiyou poured a ladle of hot water into the washbasin at the door, mixed some cold water, and rubbed his face with the towel with many holes, just The water that turned black after a few strokes made Tao Wei sigh.

Stretched out his finger and rubbed his neck, a long black mud appeared on Tao Wei's finger, Tao Wei sighed again helplessly rubbed his black neck like a car wheel with a towel, barely taking care of it When it was almost finished, Tao Wei turned around and returned to the big basin with the soap on the small window sill, sat on a small stool and put an old-fashioned dark brown washboard in the basin, grabbed a piece of quilt and sprinkled it with soap. Hang Chi Hang Chi rubbing vigorously.

Although Tao Wei didn't have enough strength in his hand because of his young age, he still rubbed it vigorously. Tao Wei knew that he was tired, and Tao Wei also knew that the water-soaked quilt was too big for him, but if he didn't find something to do, he wouldn't let it go. When he gets busy, Tao Wei will feel that the empty room is too cold and quiet.

I don't know how long it took Tao Wei to wash all the quilts, his hands were shaking, his forehead and face were covered with sweat, but the smile on his face was real.After twisting and folding the gaudy quilt, Tao Wei returned to the house with the dripping quilt to dry the washed quilt on the wall of the kang, where a wire ran through the entire kang wall After the wall was built piece by piece, Tao Wei sweated away, and Tao Wei, who was not at ease in his heart, walked around the house for a few times and found no work, then turned around and left the house, and saw the yard scattered with debris. Tao Wei His eyes lit up.

Putting all the unused sundries into the barn, Tao Wei began to sweep the yard, until Wan Xiaodong came, Tao Wei stopped, put down the broom in his hand, which was taller than him, Tao Wei followed Wan Xiaodong slowly to Geng Erfeng go home.

After a simple breakfast, Tao Wei did not go home. The long-lost mess made Tao Wei frowned deeply even though he ate deliciously. Dawangtun was too poor. It is Tao Wei who wants to start learning figure skating again and must have a pair of skates of his own.

But the price of a pair of ice skates is not what Tao Wei can afford at this time. Tao Wei, an outsider, doesn't care about it. Tao Wei, who was once blocked by a gossip in the countryside because of three acres of land, actually hated him. The murderer who died of his parents but felt at ease, also hated the gossip woman who put the shit bowl on her head again and again because of the three acres of land. Even after all these years, Tao Wei would still feel as long as he thought of the gossip that he killed his parents. Chest stagnation.

Shaking his head, Tao Wei's eyes fell on Wan Xiaodong who was squatting on the ground fanning pia by himself. But some cold hearts became warm again, and Tao Wei couldn't ignore his elder brother who was full of debts.

But where does the money come from has become Tao Wei's primary problem. It's not that he can't make his own skates, but it is precisely because he used homemade skates when he started. The movement of the body to maintain the turn made Yu Chengfei very embarrassed. It took a lot of effort to correct Tao Wei's minor problems that did not affect his performance but affected his body.

It's not that Tao Wei underestimated himself. Tao Wei, who left home early to start sports, really has nothing to do to make money. Apart from skating, Tao Wei's best thing is to take a bath and cook. You can take a bath, you don't need Say, dead end, cook, cook?In this era, in January [-], who would an eight-year-old child cook for?Tao Wei dared to go, but no one dared to use it.

Tao Wei, who was eager to start, scratched his head anxiously, "Erba, do you have lice?"

The sound of Tao Wei scratching his scalp caused Wan Xiaodong, who was squatting on the ground, to also itch his scalp, scratching along with it, and Wan Xiaodong, who was scratching while making noise, froze Tao Wei with a word, and looked at it numbly. Wan Xiaodong, who twitched his face and scratched his head vigorously, jumped off the kang, "Second Aunt, Second Aunt."

The panicked shout startled Geng Erfeng, who was picking up the frozen cabbage in the backyard, and ran to the front room. While running, he agreed, "What's the matter, what happened?"

What happened to Geng Dafeng had frightened Geng Erfeng out of his mind, as soon as the panicked shouts sounded, Geng Erfeng would panic, ran into the room staggeringly, pulled Tao Wei who was the closest, and patted him up and down, "What's wrong? Did you get hurt or fell? Where is it stuck?"

Geng Erfeng's voice changed, and Tao Wei's face froze. Knowing that he had frightened Geng Erfeng, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and slapped Geng Erfeng, "Second Aunt, it's okay. What, I'm with you." My brother has lice, you scratch it for both of us."

Holding his heart pounding, Geng Erfeng was so angry that he fell to the ground, and spread it around, grabbed the broom Gada and patted the two brothers' buttocks, "Little brat, what are you talking about, are you trying to scare the old lady to death?"

Wan Xiaodong, who jumped up and onto the kang amidst the angry curses, hurried to the quilt, "Mother, it's the second baby, and the second baby has lice."

Tao Wei, who hadn't enjoyed Second Aunt's pampering for a long time, laughed out loud, scratching the back of his head, "Second Aunt, you give us a whole lot, it's very irritating."

Knowing the two little brothers on the kang and off the kang, Geng Erfeng turned and walked into the kitchen, "Hurry over here."

The yelling sound was accompanied by the sound of rushing water, and Tao Wei waved his hand at Wan Xiaodong, who was grinning, "Brother, come down."

Carefully looking at the stove room, Wan Xiaodong reluctantly moved to the side of the kang.
