Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager
Chapter 9: Dusty
It is the first time that Li Wei has lived for so many years to feel stretched.
Back at home, she put down the soy sauce, Liu Chunzhi was managing the vegetable plot. Li Wei took the initiative to help, except for the weeds, and without Liu Chunzhi's orders, he also asked for other tasks.
Until she went to bed at night, Liu Chunzhi didn't ask her for the remaining 25 cents, and Li Wei saved it with peace of mind. Relying on her memory, she dug out a small iron box from under the bed. The jujube-colored box was flat, but Li Wei only stared at the pattern on the box.
However, the moon and white rabbits were painted on them, and the patterns were a bit rough. Although they were not as elegant as the boxes she had seen before, either reddish or inlaid with snails, the rabbits on them were still very vivid.
Dust fell on the box, the color was not so bright anymore, and the paint on it gradually fell off a lot.
Li Wei hesitated, and finally opened the box slowly.
The moment the box opened, she was dumbfounded. There is some money scattered in it, the big one is one piece, the small one is one cent. In addition to money, there is a neatly folded handkerchief inside. She cleaned out the money first, and counted it carefully. There were seven yuan, six, two cents. This is the private money saved by the original owner, and Li Wei also deposited two cents in it. They are neatly folded and wrapped with a monkey rubber band.
She went to look at the wrapped handkerchief again, wondering what precious things were in it. She slowly unfolded the handkerchief, and inside it was a small paper bag folded squarely.
It must be very important to hide it so well and wrap it carefully. Li Wei thought to himself, is it okay to peep into other people's privacy like this? Then curiosity defeated reason.
She finally opened the paper bag. There is a small card that is as big as an inch. There is a portrait on the card? Is this a photo? However, she did not know the person in the photo. It was a young boy with a small head and a handsome face. They are completely different from the two elder brothers of the Li family. Who would they be? Zhou Bin, this name came to her mind.
She stared at the person in the photo blankly, and the dusty memories of the original owner passed through clearly in her mind like a horse watching.
It was a winter afternoon and the weather was a bit cold. Everyone stayed in the classroom to do homework or read books. Only Li Wei ran out from the back door quietly. She went to the basketball court and saw Zhou Bin. Then he gave Zhou Bin a letter. Zhou Bin opened the letter in front of her, and finally got a little annoyed. He hit her with a basketball.
Later Zhou Bin actually handed the letter of love written by Li Wei to his teacher, and Li Wei's bold deeds spread all over the place. Then the whole class criticizes, please parents. Liu Chunzhi thought he had lost his old face, and after taking Li Wei back, he gave a firm beating. Li Wei was ashamed and angry, so he jumped into the river.
At the end of the original body, he chose to commit suicide, being a useless boy to be scornful to this point. Li Wei cursed lowly: "Useless things."
When she was picked up from the river, her soul was attached to this little girl. The body is still a girl, but the core is changed.
She hasn't remembered this memory, and her heart might have wanted to be dusty.
She didn't look at the photo again, and put it back as it was.
Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, after Li's family sold pigs, he went to the market to buy dozens of kilograms of pork and dried it. The meat is almost drying.
On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, after lunch, Li Jianbo returned. The schoolbag on his back was bulging, and there was a **** bag in his hand. The thin Li Jianbo was struggling to lift it.
Li Wei stepped forward to take over the burden, really sinking his hands, and hurriedly asked him: "What are you pretending to be?"
"Clothes, quilts, sheets, and a few pairs of shoes." Li Jianbo said indifferently.
Li Wei helped him carry these back to the house where Li Jianbo lived. Li Jianbo put down his schoolbag, touched it for a while, and found a stationery box. He opened the stationery box, took out a brand new pen from it, and handed it to Li Wei: "This is for you."
It was a black pen, several inches long. These days, Li Wei often writes and draws with a pen at home. She is accustomed to using a brush, so she doesn't have to work hard to use a hard pen. There is no need for people to grind the ink, it can be used as long as the ink is filled, which is very convenient.
"Give it to me, don't you need it?" Li Wei asked.
Li Jianbo smiled and said, "I have too many pens. This is a new one. You can use it."
Li Wei thanked him and accepted it.
After Liu Chunzhi came back, he asked Li Wei to help Li Jianbo to clean out those things in his bag. The things that should be washed and dried.
Li Jianbo glanced back, only to see his sister was flipping through his book. He was indescribably sad.
"Weiwei, we will start tutoring at night. You have to work hard. You have to pick up everything that was left before. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up with the next semester and you will only have to repeat the grade." This is a chance that Li Jianbo has finally won. He doesn't want to be like this. It was wasted.
Li Wei looked up at the young man in front of him. The young man was wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket with letters printed with the zipper open, revealing the black sweater inside, black trousers underneath, and a pair of white-brushed sneakers on his feet. The boy was a head taller than himself, and he was handsome, but he looked a little bit rustic when he was dark. But this teenager should be the person who cares about him most in this family. She thought of those elder brothers in Shangshu Mansion, and the sixth elder closest to her, Li Jianbo reminded her of the sixth elder brother. She called out "Second Brother" for the first time, and then said: "Okay, I will work hard."
But this kind of ease gradually disappeared when she faced those unfamiliar knowledge. The original owner was not a good person. Now that he changed the core of the ancients, Li Wei seemed very struggling when he first started.
Except learning Chinese is effortless, and history can be understood at a glance, other mathematics, physics and chemistry make her confused, and English is more like bird language to her. But fortunately, there is a brother Xueba around him, Li Jianbo's one-on-one tutoring, and the explanation is easy to understand.
Li Jianping came back and saw that his younger brother and sister were studying, Jianbo looked like a teacher, and he couldn't help but smiled: "Jianbo, you are suitable to be a teacher in the future."
Li Jianbo frowned and said, "I want to be a doctor."
After hearing this, Li Jianping laughed and said: "It's amazing, our old Li family will also have talents. Doctors are an iron job. It is convenient for us to see a doctor when you become a doctor."
As a doctor, Li Wei thought that Li Jianbo would have greater revenge. After all, the doctor's position in Daqi is not high.
