That year the flowers bloomed 1981

The first snow of 1981 finally fell.

The biting wind and snow roared past, making this land feel the coldness of winter overnight.

With great perseverance, Li Ye got rid of the temptation of a warm bed. He quickly put on his clothes and braved the cold air before leaving the dormitory and heading to the classroom.

Cold, too cold.

Now Li Ye understands the meaning of climate warming in later generations. Qingshui County can only be barely regarded as a northern city, but it often experiences low temperatures of more than 20 degrees below zero, which is very rare in later generations.

Moreover, the heating conditions in this era are even more lacking.

There is no heating equipment in the dormitory of County No. 2 Middle School. At night, the temperature is not only freezing but also frost on the walls.

One by one, the dormitory students covered themselves with quilts and pretended to be horny birds, Dororo Dororo was suffering.

The stoves in the classrooms are basically a face-saving project. The daily quota is only a handful of firewood and a few kilograms of briquettes.

But even these difficult conditions cannot stop students' enthusiasm for learning.

At dawn, there are students in the classroom studying by themselves. Those like Li Ye who come here with the bell ringing are all lazy guys with no future.

But as soon as Li Ye reached his seat and sat down, several people came over.

Brother, can you tell me these questions after dinner?

Li Dayong handed two still-warm toasted buns and half a jar of warm water to Li Ye, and then waited aside with a paper.

County No. 2 Middle School does not serve breakfast. The steamed buns were made last night. If you want to heat them up while the stove is smoking, you have to be able to squeeze into the bus at Bawangfen.

While nibbling on the steamed bun, Li Ye took out his paper and threw it over, saying: Check the answers yourself first, and then ask if you don't understand.

Li Dayong and others quickly took the papers and gathered around to copy and discuss.

After Li Ye finished his meal, monitor Hu Man quickly handed Li Ye a water bottle to warm his hands, and then placed the question paper in front of Li Ye.

The hot water in the water bottle is saved by everyone, and it can still be 70 or 80 degrees. In this weather and conditions, it is already a luxury.

This set of questions is actually not difficult, let's look at it first.

Li Ye held the hot water bottle in his arms, warming his hands while finishing the question three times, five times five times two, and then sent Hu Man, Fu Yingjie and others away.

The papers were handed out for self-study last night. He and Wen Leyu had finished them long ago, but Li Dayong and others had a much harder time.

But Li Dayong and Fu Yingjie are not the most strenuous. The most strenuous are Xia Yue, Jin Shengli and others who claim to be a group of top students.

When Teacher Ke handed out the papers with novel questions, Xia Yue and others felt relieved after many days of frustration.

Although Teacher Ke emphasized that it was Li Ye who provided the papers and the school published them, they felt that it was the school that provided these precious papers and had nothing to do with Li Yemao, and they did not owe Li Ye any favors.

Xia Yue and others held their breath and vowed to prove who was the student master in class one.

But the reality is very harsh. In just two days, Xia Yue and others were hit.

Teacher Ke usually hands out the papers during the self-study class, and Li Ye and Wen Leyu will finish them all without waiting for the self-study class to end.

As a result, even on the second day, Xia Yue, Jin Shengli and others were still worrying about the difficult questions on the paper!

At this time, Hu Man, Li Dayong and others will go to Li Ye to talk about the topic, and then discuss and share it with other students.

But the scope of this discussion and sharing automatically stopped when it came to Xia Yue and others.

Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and drew a clear line with the small circle of Xia Yue and others.

Even Hu Man, the squad leader with the best temper, treated Xia Yue and others without pretense and refused their asking for advice without being soft or hard.

What's the use of eating chews like a baby all day long?

By now, Xia Yue and Jin Shengli had nothing but harsh words. However, they laughed at Hu Man and others for asking Li Ye to get something ready-made, but they could only go to the teacher for advice. It was obviously the same routine, but they still felt A level above Human and others.

Li Ye doesn't want to pay attention to them now. When he gets used to the happiness of doing papers every day, and suddenly there are no papers to do, he will be able to reflect people's true feelings.

.

When school was about to end at noon, a teacher suddenly came to the repeat class to look for Li Ye.

Li Ye, Li Ye, your family members are looking for you and are waiting at the school gate!

My family?

Li Ye was a little confused and hurried out.

He was afraid that something urgent might happen at home.

Li Dayong also thought of this and hurriedly followed.

Today is Sunday, and no one is in class except for the repetition class. The empty campus is completely white, and you can see far away at a glance.

From a distance, Li Ye saw a small figure at the school gate. He was stomping his feet and jumping high in the cold. It turned out to be his cheap sister Li Juan.

Li Juan was carrying a big baggage on her back and huddled in the cold wind, making her look even thinner, frail and lonely.

Li Ye quickly shouted: Xiaojuan, what's wrong?

Li Juan heard Li Ye's call and did not reply immediately. She just jumped up and smiled at Li Ye.

Li Ye rushed to the door in three steps and asked, Xiaojuan, why are you here? Is there something urgent at home?

Li Juan hurriedly shook her head and said: It's okay, it's okay. You should have gone home to get living expenses yesterday. My mother saw that you didn't go back, so she asked me to send you cotton-padded clothes and a mattress.

My grandpa gave you a pair of suede leather shoes and sent them to you. You can wear the two pairs interchangeably.

Li Yeye felt warm in his heart and quickly reached out to take the baggage from Li Juan's back. Only then did he realize that the entire right side of Li Juan's body was soaked with sewage and was covered with ice.

Moreover, Li Juan walked through the snow from the west to the east of the city. She probably stepped on the snow, and her cotton-padded shoes were already soaked.

He quickly asked: Where did you fall? Are you injured? Your cotton shoes are soaked, are you freezing to death?

Li Juan shook her head like a rattle: No, no, brother, I'm fine. It doesn't matter if my cotton shoes are soaked. I'll just go back and warm myself by the fire.

Li Ye felt quite distressed and asked: Then why don't you go in to find me? Why is the cold wind blowing here? If you can't, you can just go to the reception room and wait for me!

Li Juan shrank her neck and whispered, They won't let me in.

Won't you let in?

Li Ye was a little confused and turned to look at the communication room at the entrance of the school.

Although the school has regulations that do not allow people outside the school to enter or exit, it always turns a blind eye. Who can be so upright and determined in this weather?

And looking at the chimney of the reception room, it is obvious that there is a stove inside. Logically speaking, if a little girl is frozen like this, everyone should let her go in to warm up. Why do you let this child blow cold wind outside?

The person in the reception room happened to look out, glanced at Li Ye, rolled his eyes, curled his lips, and turned his head back.

This is interesting.

Li Ye raised his feet and was about to go over and ask a few questions, but Li Dayong pulled his arm.

The old Liu Tou who is the gatekeeper is a distant relative of Xia Yue. He is probably looking for trouble!

Yes, it turns out it’s still your fault.

Li Ye thought for a while and gave up the idea of ​​stepping on the smelly dog ​​poop. He stepped on it but couldn't kill it. The smell of cake on the sole of his shoe still made him sick.

He handed the baggage to Li Dayong and said, Let's go! I'll take you to eat first.

Li Juan shook her head hurriedly and took out a wad of money from her pocket: No, no, mom is still waiting for me to go back for dinner. This is your living expenses for this month.

But Li Ye ignored Li Juan's objection, took her arm and walked out.

At this time, the window of the communication room suddenly opened, and an old man said with a stern face: School isn't over yet! Are you going to skip school?

Li Ye turned his head and gave him a look, and cursed: It's none of your business? Keep an eye on your door, don't let anyone steal it.

Who are you scolding? Come back here! I'll tell your head teacher and ask your parents to come.

Old Liu Tou was furious and stretched his neck to yell at Li Ye, but Li Ye ignored him and pulled his sister away.

If it were other students, they might have been intimidated by this old man, but Li Ye, who had lived in two generations, knew all these things very well.

The more cowardly you are, the more arrogant he becomes, and he really thinks he is a big shot.

They just used chicken feathers as arrows to stumble. If they dared to go to the Academic Affairs Office and ask Li Ye to call his parents, Li Ye called his grandfather over and asked him to have a good drink.

Do you dare to let my granddaughter stomp her feet in the cold outside the door, and give you the cheap food in the past few days?

. . . .

A few hundred meters east of County No. 2 Middle School, there is a state-run mutton soup restaurant. It is almost noon and it is Sunday again. The steaming smell can be smelled from a distance.

Li Juan had no intention of arguing with Li Ye at the moment. It would be nice if she could stop her saliva from flowing out.

After entering the mutton soup restaurant, Li Ye bought two bowls of mutton soup, burned a pile of meat, and started eating with Li Juan.

Li Juan was a little reluctant to let go at first. After finishing half a bowl of mutton soup and sweating all over her body, she started devouring it.

Li Ye watched as the little girl ate the fire-roasted and mutton soup, and even drank the soup base. Her appetite was not much smaller than his own.

Li Ye got up and went to buy again, but Li Juan quickly persuaded him to stop: Don't buy it, brother, I can't eat it anymore, I really can't eat it anymore.

Li Ye waved his hand: I'm not full either. Buy another bowl and let's share it.

Li Juan then gave up and waited for Li Ye to buy it back. After a while, she ate it again, wondering if her little belly was full.

Seeing Li Juan burping comfortably, Li Ye smiled and asked, How long has it been since the family has eaten meat?

Li Juan stretched out a finger and said, I haven't seen Rou Mian for a week.

.

Li Ye touched the pile of money in his pocket, feeling secretly ashamed.

His father gave him 20 yuan for living expenses every month, his grandfather supported him with another 10 yuan, and his sister added 5 yuan, so the living expenses given to him this time were a full 35 yuan.

Nowadays, a pound of meat only costs more than 80 cents. Even if you eat 35 yuan every day, you won't be able to finish it.

But my family hasn't eaten meat for a week, and I've been chewing it too hard.

Let's go, I'll take you to buy a pair of cotton shoes.

After the brother and sister had eaten and drank enough, Li Ye planned to take Li Juan to buy a pair of suede cotton shoes at noon.

Li Juan came here in the snow today and stayed at the mutton soup restaurant for a while. The ice on her shoes had completely melted. It was really heartbreaking to think about the feeling.

Nowadays, whether it is a labor insurance service agency or a military service agency, there are suede leather cotton shoes for sale, which are snow-proof and moisture-proof. Li Ye can still afford them for more than ten yuan a pair.

Li Ye originally thought that the timid Li Juan might have to shirk some more, but Li Juan did not refuse immediately after hearing this.

She hesitated for a while and then said: Brother, I don't need to wear leather shoes, but Xiaoying's feet get cold every year, so buy her a pair!

Li Ziye felt sour and had the idea of ​​making money.

Please vote! Please help me with all kinds of prostitutes!
