execution boy

There has been a little disturbance in the Zhao family recently, and it seems that I caused the disturbance.

I have already reached the age to go to school. In fact, I am already half a year behind other children. The household registration book says that I am seven and a half years old, but Zhao Yi, who is nine years old, is already in the third grade of elementary school. I skipped preschool and went to elementary school with Zhao Yi. Uncle Zhao didn't say anything, but Zhao Yi became fussy and refused to take me to school with him.

"Why don't you listen to your child? What's wrong with taking your brother to school? What can hinder you?" Aunt Hu persuaded Zhao Yi earnestly.

Zhao Yi lay on his little bed and snorted: "He can't speak, he's like a mute, that's a trouble! You let him follow me like a tail every day!"

"Nonsense, why your brother can't talk anymore, it's just a little slower, look how cute and obedient your brother is!" After saying that, he pushed me who was hiding behind the door to Zhao Yi's bedside, and couldn't wait to let me go. Zhao Yi saw my cuteness.

It's a pity that Zhao Yi is annoyed when he sees me. I know that every time I show a little bit of caution, he will stare at me.

Zhao Yi turned his nostrils to the sky and said, "Oh, he is so cute and obedient, then let him go to school by himself."

Aunt Hu patted him: "What are you talking about! How old is your brother! What should you do if you meet bad guys on the road? What if you are bullied? An older brother should protect his younger brother. Why are you so hypocritical!"

"I don't know where I picked up my younger brother." Zhao Yi snorted.

As soon as I heard this, I lowered my head and put my hands together at the corners of my clothes, not daring to look at him.

I am afraid of Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi is well-known in the whole alley as a ghost, basically every two days someone knocks on the door, and it is the parents who come to complain that Zhao Yi is bullying their children, either breaking someone's head or smashing someone's head. The family's leg was injured.

But the parents living here are kind and simple people, and it’s no big deal if they are all neighbors. Aunt Hu passed away with a smile on her face, and Zhao Yi still lived the life of a little devil in his own way.

I feel like I'm about to become his burden. Zhao Yi hates being a burden the most because he looks lazy all day long. He definitely doesn't like me as an oil bottle.

He used to scare me with worms, maybe he will let me eat worms in the future.

Zhao Yi gave me a sideways look: "Bear-like."

Although Zhao Yi doesn't like to take me to school with me, I am very happy to be able to go to school.

I don’t know what they say, and I can’t write. I always feel that others don’t like me. Even the children in the alley don’t want to play with me. I bear the name of Zhao Yi’s younger brother, and no one says anything in front of me. , but I know they secretly call me little dumb, little deaf.

So whenever Aunt Hu came back from work to teach me simple spelling, I would study it very seriously, and sharpen my pencils early the day before school. Even though the pencil case and schoolbag were not used by Zhao Yi before, I also found it very novel. , everything feels brand new.

In the morning, because Aunt Hu had to go to work, she gave Zhao Yi five yuan and asked him to take me to a street stall to eat soy milk and fried dough sticks. Pick up your schoolbag and follow behind.

My stomach growled with hunger, but Zhao Yi didn't stop when I passed by a small stall on the street, and I didn't dare to ask. When I got to the school gate, Zhao Yi glanced at me: "Go find the dean yourself, I'm going Class begins."

I took small steps: "Little brother... Doujiang... There is a piece... Hungry..."

Zhao Yi glanced at me: "If you say so, you still go to school. Let me tell you, Zhao Xiaodao, if you dare to tell mom, see if I will take you to school in the future." After saying that, he turned and left.

I had no choice but to wander around the school. I didn't know who the dean he was talking about was, and I didn't know how to ask, so the whole morning passed.Until an aunt saw me squatting there silently, and asked which class I was in, I didn't know how to answer, so I said my name was Zhao Xiaodao and my brother was Zhao Yi.

The aunt patted my head and said yes, and after a while, the horn rang in the school: "Zhao Yi, Class [-], Three Years, your younger brother Zhao Xiaodao is in the playground now, come over after class..."

Then the aunt took me to a room to wait. At noon, Zhao Yi did not wait, but Aunt Hu waited.

Aunt Hu's delicate face was very angry at the moment. She accompanied Zhao Yi's teacher first, so I knew that Zhao Yi had skipped class. Then Aunt Hu dragged me to the teaching office to register, asked me if I had eaten, and gave I bought something to eat and sent me to class.

Because I am tall, the teacher wanted to put me in the back, but Aunt Hu begged the teacher to say that I was afraid that I would not be heard in the back because of hearing impairment, so the teacher arranged me in the first row. When I opened the book, I felt happy Incomparable.

I, like the children in those alleys, can also go to school.

Until school ended at five o'clock in the afternoon, I saw Zhao Yi with a bitter face at the school gate, and I thought, I'm going to suffer.

Sure enough, the way he looked at me wanted to peel off my skin.I whispered: "Little brother...go home..."

Zhao Yi ignored me and walked back, and I quickly followed behind him.

When I got home, I saw Uncle Zhao standing in the living room with a broom, and when he saw Zhao Yi, he hit him on the buttocks, making him scream.

Uncle Zhao looked very angry, and I didn't dare to stay behind the curtain with my schoolbag for a moment.

Uncle Zhao punished him not to have dinner, so I secretly hid a steamed bun and peanuts, went to Zhao Yi's room while Uncle Zhao and Aunt Hu were watching TV, and when I brought them to him, he was lying on the bed angry.

"Eat... hungry..." I put the food on the bedside table, but Zhao Yi ignored me.

"No, next time... go by yourself." The corner of his clothes was almost wrinkled by me, and he snorted: "You can pull it down, it will make you go to school by yourself, and I won't be worse. "

He glanced at the steamed bun, ignored me, picked it up, and gnawed on it. He pointed to the door, and I knew he wanted me to go out, so I ran out quickly.

I turned on my little lamp, and I started to do the homework assigned by the teacher. Aunt Hu came over to watch my hard work after watching TV, so she taught me again. I think Aunt Hu is suitable to be a teacher. She is gentle and beautiful. What she said I can understand.

She also taught me a song "The Rhyme of Li Weng" and asked me to memorize it, but I stumbled and always remembered it wrong.

Aunt Hu smiled when she saw that I couldn't say a word for a long time, went out of the bedroom, grabbed Zhao Yi by the ear, and dragged Zhao Yi in.

"Teach your younger brother to recite "The Rhyme of the Li Weng", and teach you not to play for half an hour after school."

"Mom, why? Tiger poison doesn't eat children?" Zhao Yi rubbed his ears and said.

Aunt Hu shrugged: "You can figure it out for yourself, anyway, I have made a decision." After speaking, Aunt Hu left.

Zhao Yi glanced at me with a bad face, and I quickly took out the book and pointed it to him, and he pulled the book aside with his nostrils upturned:

"I can memorize such a simple thing by heart when I was four years old."

Zhao Yi tilted his head to the sky and thought for a while, then said: "The sky is against the earth, the rain is against the wind. The continent is against the sky. The mountain flowers are against the trees in the sea, and the red sun is against the sky. The thunder is faint and the fog is misty. The sun is against the sky. The wind is high and the autumn moon is high." White, rainy and red at sunset. Niu and Nv are around the Xinghe River, participating in the business and fighting against the west and east. On the frontier of October, the cold frost frightens the troops; on the Sandong River, the long snow and cold fisherman..."

Under the dim desk lamp, Zhao Yi's handsome face was reciting "The Li Weng Conversation with Rhyme" seriously, which was deeply remembered in my mind.

Uncle Chen once told me solemnly before leaving that no one should speak English. I have never said a word since I came here, but I know that I am already nine years old, and now I am learning from the textbooks of seven-year-olds. So I worked hard to learn Chinese, even for Zhao Yi's half an hour after school, I must practice hard.

Later, I slowly learned that the place where I was was called Chengdu, which was in Sichuan, China.

There is a big globe in Uncle Chen’s study, and I would go around it when I have nothing to do. I found the location of Sichuan, the location of Chengdu, and the location of Pennsylvania.

Slowly, I discovered that this place is far away from Pennsylvania. It is in the United States, from here to there, across the Pacific Ocean.
