Rebirth begins with an 8-year-old elementary school student

Chapter 2 Eating
"What time is it? It's inconvenient without a mobile phone."

Getting up, I don't know what time it is, Li Ruo'an is used to looking for his phone to check.I just remembered, where did I get the phone at this time.

At this time, my family was so poor that I didn't even have a clock, but only a decent black and white TV set.It was his parents who went out to work last year and bought it at home during the Chinese New Year.

"Turn on the TV to see what time it is, old man, I'm back!"

Looking at the familiar TV, Li Ruoan recalled
This accompanied me all my childhood.I remember, the happiest thing for me at this time is to rush home every day after school, turn on the TV and watch cartoons.

"Black Cat Sheriff", "Sloppy King", "Blue Cat Naughty Three Thousand Questions" These are full of childhood memories
"Keep close to the pulse of the world and keep pace with the world"

"Focus on the whole news"

"It's already 8:[-]"

Looking at the time jumping in the upper right corner of the TV, Li Ruoan finally determined the time in 2002

3 month 1 number

"Grandpa and grandma should have gone to work in the field. I'll cook the rice first."

After searching inside and outside the house, but seeing no one, Li Ruoan went to the kitchen to cook.

Children who grow up in rural areas can work at the age of 7 or 8.After all, the children of the poor are already in charge of the family.

Li Ruo'an came to the back of the stove, found a small stool to step on, washed the pot, and poured water, all in one go.

In front of the stove, bundles of bundled dry thatch were neatly piled up.

Li Ruo'an pulled a small piece from the edge, then folded it in half a few more times, then took out a box of matches from the crack in the stone wall behind, lit the thatch and put it in the stove.

When the fire got bigger, Li Ruo'an pulled a few more handfuls of thatch and put it in.

After a while, I saw curling smoke rising from the chimney.

Before the water boiled, Li Ruo'an scooped two bowls of rice from the rice tank and put them into a large iron basin, ready to wash the rice.

Li Ruo'an washed the rice carefully twice, and then poured the rice washing water into a large wooden bucket next to it.That's for leftovers.If you have pigs at home, you can feed them to the pigs.It just so happened that this year Li Ruoan's family raised two big fat pigs.This rice washing water can't be wasted.

After a while, the water boiled, and Li Ruoan poured the washed rice into it, stirred it a few times with a spatula, and then covered the pot again.

Wait a little longer, seeing the rice grains swell up, Li Ruo'an looked at it and felt that it was almost done, and scooped more rice soup into the iron basin, leaving only a small amount.Cover the pot again and cover the edges with a damp rag.Well, there is no need to turn on the fire anymore, it only takes a few minutes, and the rice is cooked.

"Ruoan, you've already cooked the meal? Why don't you sleep more?"

"Grandpa, grandma, you are back. You have to sign up today. I'll get up early."

As soon as the rice was cooked, my grandparents came back from work and picked a basket of vegetables from the vegetable garden, including cabbage and carrots.

Seeing her grandparents whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Li Ruo'an was a little excited and wanted to cry, but quickly controlled it again.

Li Ruoan's grandfather is Li Dezhu, and his grandmother is Wang Xiulian.Both are out-and-out farmers.

"Ruo'an, watch TV first, and call you to eat when grandma finishes cooking."

"It's okay grandma, I'll help you light the fire, there's nothing to watch on TV right now."

Grandma feels sorry for her grandson and doesn't want him to be tired.Li Ruo'an hasn't seen grandma for a long time, and wants to talk to her more.

Just like this, I talked to my grandma, and a few dishes were fried.

"Grandma, I'm going to ask grandpa to eat."

"Okay, okay, slow down."

"I don't know where this bad old man has gone, and he won't come back after dinner"

Grandma complained, and Li Ruoan ran to ask grandpa to eat with a smile.

"Grandpa, grandpa is coming for dinner soon, I'm going to sign up after dinner"

"Come on, come on, Ruo'an, don't bark, come here now."

As soon as Li Ruo'an arrived at the yard, he saw his grandfather sitting on a chair, leisurely smoking a pipe with a pipe.Hearing Li Ruo'an's words, he quickly pinched out the cigarette, and echoed back.

"Ruoan, come, eat more food."

"Thank you grandma, you can eat some too."

"Eat more, you will grow taller in the future."

"Good grandma."

The three of them, grandpa and grandson, finished their meal happily.

"Grandpa, why don't I sign up by myself, you don't want to go, I can do it myself."

"How can I do that? You are still young, and your school is far away, and you have to pay tuition fees for registration."

"OK then."

Li Ruo'an originally wanted to sign up by himself, but his grandfather insisted on sending him there, so he let it go.

"Ruoan! Ruoan! Have you eaten yet! Let's sign up together!"

At this time, Li Ruo'an heard a few shouts from outside the yard.
