High School Chronicle So You Are Here

Liu Jiatong took off his coveralls for a moment and immediately held it in his hand again and cheered. "It's so beautiful, brother, did you buy it for me?"

"Don't be angry, it's you who said I'm short first, I didn't care about you, you made me face all the way."

"Who told you to talk to me with that attitude? I'm the boss in our house." Liu Tong curled his lips and held the watch and rubbed it gently with his fingertips.The screen is larger than ordinary electronic watches and can display time and date at the same time.The pink strap, the goose yellow buckle, and the small yellow stars painted on the strap are exquisite in workmanship.

"It still has night light." Liu Jialuo pressed the little round button next to it, and the screen with black characters on the gray background glowed with light blue fluorescence, and a blue dolphin flashed and jumped from one end to the other end of the screen.

Liu Jiatong was very happy.Carefully put it back into the case, opened the schoolbag and put it in the pencil case.

"Brother, did you buy this with money from your part-time job during the summer vacation? Is it expensive? It costs tens of dollars, right?"

Liu Jialuo lay on the seat and squinted his eyes and smiled without saying a word, causing Liu Jiatong to beat him hard.

Mama Liu's surname is Zhu and her name is Linling. The name is quite temperamental because Mama Liu's father was a primary school teacher who loved ancient Chinese and could write beautiful calligraphy.But Ms. Zhu Linling never went to school. She only attended a two-month literacy class with a girl and daughter-in-law from a nearby village when she was [-] or [-] years old.There are many children in the family, and the teacher's meager income is a problem. As the eldest, Liu's mother had to give up her studies and take care of her younger siblings at home to do some farm work.Most of the time, Dad Liu works part-time in a nearby town, grandparents will go to aunts and uncles to live in rotation, and the younger Liu Jiachen goes to primary school and lives in school.So the family is always deserted and alone.If a person is so lonely that he can't bear it, he will keep a kitten and a dog as companions.

Zhu's mother is a little compassionate, so anyone in the village who has too many dogs or cats or picks up the roadside will send them to their home.But cats and dogs in rural areas don’t live long. Either they turned their own intestines and died, or they ate pesticides by mistake or were raised by others and were stolen.Liu Jialuo's family can change every three or four months, and the long-lived ones rarely live for a year.Most of the time, when he came home from school, as soon as he opened the iron gate, six or seven puppies ran out to greet him, pulling their trouser legs and holding their shoelaces.

Their village is called Sanyuantang, and it is very convenient to walk to the township market within 10 minutes from the village.As soon as the siblings got off the minibus, they saw Mama Liu waiting for them by the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, with four fluffy puppies surrounding them and biting.

Dad was doing renovations in a town more than ten kilometers away, and grandpa went to the third aunt's house to watch a play. Only mother and grandma were there.Millet porridge was steaming in the pot, and on the table were two freshly fried vegetables, tomatoes and eggs, and shredded pork with loofah.There is also a bag of chicken feet bought from the market.Zhu's mother picked up a few mouthfuls of vegetables and urged them to eat quickly.Then he went out with his job bowl to chat with Sister Yan and Aunt Third.

Both of them love to gnaw on chicken feet, and they are very delicious when they grab them after washing their hands.Liu Jialuo vomited the bone on the ground, attracting four puppies to snatch it. "Are you dirty or not? Put it on the table and throw it into the dog bowl later." Liu Jiatong gave him a white look.

Grandma knocked on the ground with her cane, asking each of them.Liu Jiatong, who asked, got impatient and grabbed two chicken feet and ran outside.Grandma's memory is not very good, and in the past year since Liu Jialuo went to high school, she has been repeating those questions that can be heard by ears, and Liu Jialuo is used to answering them skillfully.

"Luozi, you're back."

"Come back, Grandma."

"Hurry up and eat. When your mother comes back from the field in the afternoon, she will go to the market to buy vegetables and cook for you."

"Well, I'm eating."

"Luozi, how about going to school in the city?"

"Well, the city is much better than our county."

"Whether the money is enough to spend, don't be reluctant to eat or wear."

"I'm a student, it doesn't cost much, it's pretty good."

"Luozi, is the school food enough? Is it delicious?"

"Enough, fragrant, very fragrant, grandma."

"Luozi, are there many girls in the class?"

"Many, half boys and half girls in our class."

"Then when will you find a wife?"

"Ah!" This is a new question.Liu Jialuo realized that chicken skin and bones were sprayed all over the floor, causing a cough.

There is not much work at home, the corn has been peeled and hung on the locust tree and the house pillars, and the field has been sprinkled with chemical fertilizers. The wheat will be planted in a few days when Dad comes back.When I was young, there was a vegetable shed at home, and tomatoes and celery were grown alternately throughout the year.If you have nothing to do on weekends, you have to get up early to shovel and wash vegetables together, and push them to the market with a shelf cart to sell.Before dawn, the sky was full of stars, and the vegetable sellers in the market had already filled up both sides of the street.

The most torment in winter is to take winter vacation as a nightmare.In addition to shoveling and selling vegetables, I have to get up early to collect hay rolls to keep out the cold, and put them back at night.The hay roll is more than one meter wide, and it is more than 20 meters long from the top of the shed to the bottom of the shed, which is covered with two ropes.A vegetable shed uses at least 20 rolls.Standing on the two-meter-high shed roof before dinner, the north wind was biting.With hot air and hands, kick the straw rolls along the plastic film of the vegetable shed one by one from the roof to the bottom of the shed, sticking to it like monster tongues.Hold the two hemp ropes with both hands and release them closely. If the ropes are released too fast, the grass roll will run away from the rope sleeve and roll out.Father Liu packed up the vegetable shed and came out to straighten it out.Standing below, grabbing the grass scroll and pulling it up and down vigorously, Liu Jialuo threw the rope back and forth like performing a loop, until the loop was pulled up and straightened again.

The five tile-roofed houses of the Liu family were built when he was in the fifth grade of elementary school.Next to it is the kitchen, the toilet, and the abandoned pigsty.At that time, his uncle was already working in the court, so he helped him buy good lime and cement.So these five houses are built solidly and beautifully, and they look quite new after several years.The yard is surrounded by a large pond. When Liu’s father returns home when he is free, he drives a tractor to the reed marsh to dig soil and fill the hole.Up to now, a quarter of the big pond has been filled, so the yard of the house looks very large.Except that the grapes and pomegranates were planted by Liu Jialuo's brother and sister for fun, in summer, Zhu's mother planted peppers, cucumbers, beans and eggplants in the vegetable bed.Cover with plastic film in winter to plant rapeseed and spinach.

In the evening, Liu Jialuo watched TV with grandma and mother, and Liu Jiatong secretly took out a novel and hid it under the blanket to read.During the day, the sun was high and no one was getting up.After lunch, I clean the yard, pull weeds, and tease the dog.When it's all right, I go to Luwei Pond and Dazhakou with my two cousins ​​to catch fish and shrimp.

After lunch on Sunday, the two siblings packed their schoolbags and waited for the bus back to school at the entrance of the village.Before leaving, Zhu's mother gave the living expenses, and the grandmother secretly stuffed 20 yuan for one person.It was after four o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at the school, and I took the little girl to the door of the girls' dormitory with a pile of food.When he met an acquaintance, he quickly put his schoolbag in the dormitory for help and took the bus to Jinlong Square by himself.

Before meeting that scum that afternoon, Liu Jialuo didn't think carefully about what Liu Zhongping and his wife said.They said they would pay it back, but how much and when will they be able to pay it back.Along the way, he scratched his head and scratched his head, but he didn't come up with any clues, and he almost stopped by.

Liu Heng was still lying on the bed, but most of his injuries had healed. When he saw Liu Jialuo, he snorted and greeted him.Mrs. Ping took out an iron box and put a bunch of medical bills and a dozen coins in it. The three of them calculated for a long time and finally came to a result.They paid the helper a deposit of 2 yuan, and paid 4 yuan for surgery and medical expenses.Not long after Liu Heng's operation, he was transferred to a smaller normal hospital. The medicines in the big hospital were too expensive.I spent more than 4 yuan and saved 1 yuan.In the future, Liu Heng will stop at 2000 yuan for medicine and follow-up visits.

Liu Zhongping said: "According to Luo Zai's intention, let's pay them back at least 1 yuan. First, make up the remaining [-] yuan to pay them back. We still have the [-] yuan we saved. Let's live on the rest of the money. It can be paid off in a year or two." Liu Zhongping couldn't continue talking, and Mrs. Ping kept rubbing her eyes like sand.

Liu Jialuo had never encountered such a realistic and embarrassing problem.At home in the morning, he was still a child who only cared about eating, drinking and having fun, and now the atmosphere was so oppressive that he couldn't speak.The couple who have been honestly running a restaurant for half their lives raised a demon king because the rural people were uneducated and couldn't teach their children well.The savings I have saved for several years will disappear overnight, and I will have to live on foreign debts in the future.Now the family of three seems to have been torn apart.

Sister-in-law Ping sobbed, "We are uneducated and don't know how much they should pay for Liu Heng's matter. I heard that some of their families are rich and powerful, and we are afraid that if we get into trouble again, this restaurant will not be able to continue."

Brother Ping seldom smokes, but now he smokes one after another, filling the room with smoke.Liu Jialuo panicked from choking, but he understood and endured it.Suddenly Liu Zhongping slapped his thigh, "We have no money but we have mouths and legs. Luozi, tell me where your classmates live. I'll talk to them with your sister-in-law. If it doesn't work, talk to their parents. It's not them Let’s hang on to the money and not pay it back, it’s really hard to make money for a year, let’s see what they say.”

It seems to be a way. Liu Jialuo nodded, but when he thought of that scumbag's virtue, he had a headache again.Can a person who beat himself three times without speaking more than [-] sentences communicate well? Can they understand the suffering of the poor?When he left, he promised Liu Zhongping and his wife to talk to his classmates first, and as long as the other party let go, they would immediately try their best to pay back the money to show sincerity.

After going back to school for two consecutive days, Liu Jialuo couldn't sleep well and couldn't study well.Xu Yuanze entered the class of Er Jian and Da Pao, and he was still the same old man who invited a small class every two days and a large class every three days, leading a few brothers to eat, drink and have fun.Shen Jun intentionally or unintentionally said several times that Xu Yuanze brought his new girlfriend, who was called Fang.What Fang Liu Jialuo didn't remember, and made excuses to push it away several times.Now Xu Yuanze didn't force Shen Jun and the others to grab and pull hard like before.People say that new girlfriends are jealous, and when they meet Liu Jialuo, the old man is afraid that the old and new will fight.

The only ones who can contact Yuan Tian are the sisters of the He family.Maybe it's because the sister has a closer relationship with Yuan Tian, ​​and so does Ai Wu and Wu Hen.He never wanted to get close to his sister, even though He Jiayin was prettier and more educated.

He Jiaru also studied literature but was assigned an honor class.One day at noon, he took advantage of the break between classes to find He Jiaru's class but did not see Miss He Er.Tian Yu was distributing homework and came out to say hello when she saw him through the window.He stammered that he had something to do with He Jiaru, and asked Tian Yu to tell her about the time he came to the school's flower stand late after school in the afternoon.Tian Yu nodded and agreed without asking too many questions.
