all the way

The relationship between Liu Xia and Shao Yan changed dramatically more than an hour after returning to school after the fight.

——After get out of class at the end of the first evening self-study, Liu Xia rushed out of the classroom to go to the bathroom, and bumped into Shao Yan who came out of the back door of his classroom, and the two quarreled all the way to the toilet, which was more than 100 meters away and separated by a big playground .

When they came back after urinating, the two of them had already started laughing and joking. Shao Yan was a little embarrassed and explained to Liu Xia his previous behavior of finding trouble for nothing: "I decided to come to Rongze High School before the end of last semester. Dad came to Rongze High School once at that time, and happened to see the inspection written by your brother and you. My dad said it was pasted at the school gate. When he went back, he praised your calligraphy like a great calligrapher. He taught me a lesson for many days. I refused to accept it at the time, thinking that it was impossible for any student to write so well. He even named you two as witnesses, which was enough to make me angry.

As a result, on the day I came to the school to report for duty, as soon as I walked into the teaching area, I saw the two copies you posted in the corridor again. My dad started to teach me again, and said that the student who wrote the test must be a poor student, and a poor student can write words as In this way, it can be seen how high Rongze's high school level is. Anyway, it's just a lot of my most useless and worst words.

My handwriting is very ugly. After reading your inspection, I was a little jealous, and I was embarrassed by my father. I thought I was just two nerds who only knew how to read and write. When I saw clearly the reason for your inspection, it turned out It was the teacher, I couldn't believe it at all, I wanted to fight with you at the time, and later I heard that your brother transferred to another school, so I decided to fight with you. "

As if to show that he wasn't lying, Shao Yan went to the classroom to show Liu Xia his homework.

Liu Xia looked at the word like a dog crawling in his homework book, and then at the foreign-looking and handsome Shao Yan in a jacket and turtleneck sweater, and decided that he would never believe in the words "Words are like a person" or "Words are like a person" Kind of nonsense.

From that day on, Shao Yan waited for Liu Xia to play with him in the corridor after class; Liu Xia could eat vegetarian dishes at noon every day, and if he was late after class, Shao Yan would take his lunch box and add something to it. he buys.

Originally, Liu Xia still cared about Shao Yan bullying him before, but he and Shao Yan were in the next class, and he had seen Shao Yan play table tennis with others during class a few times. Bian Rongze is invincible, Liu Xia is very envious.

Shao Yan invited Liu Xia to play table tennis with him at lunch the next day. Liu Xia was eager to try, but he had never even touched a table tennis racket before, he didn't understand the basic rules, and he didn't even have any skills. Almost half an hour, the net is picking up the ball.

This aroused Liu Xia's fighting spirit, and whenever he had time, he pestered Shao Yan to teach him, but Shao Yan didn't dislike his bad skills, and taught him quite seriously.

After a few days, the relationship between the two seems to be better than Shao Yan and those dog legs.

It seems that Liu Xia's standard high school student-style brawl brought about not only the improvement of his personal situation, but also the peace of God.

After fighting with Shao Yan for three consecutive weeks, he went home on time.

Going home these few times not only made him and the cat feel as happy as the current spring sun, but also discovered several special things.

Wangning Commune became 'Wangning Township'.

Liu Mao became a regular worker.

The family members are sending photos to Yanagawa for a blind date.

Home is like a gas station to Liu Xia. Every time he comes back from home, he will study vigorously for the first three days, and then he will be a little anxious for the next three days, afraid of changing weather and rain.

Being able to go home every week gave him hope, and the days at school felt less difficult.

If he could receive letters from his three older brothers again, then Liu Xia would be really elated.

Liu Chuan's letter is usually sent once a month, while Liu Hai and Liu Ling's letter is sent once a week.

Each of Liu Hai's letters is several thick sheets, except for shitting and peeing, he can't wait to tell Liu Xia about his every move.

After Liu Hai arrived in Kyoto, Zeng Guangtong asked two high school teachers to give him a test, and decided to let him start again from the first year of high school after the summer vacation. Now he is temporarily an auditor with the first year of high school, mainly listening to other people's Chinese and mathematics. And English, listen more and read more, broaden your horizons and broaden your thinking.

Liu Hai said that the capital city is indeed big and beautiful, but he was really homesick, especially when someone laughed at his local dialect.

Liu Xia wrote back and said: "What's so great about Putonghua, isn't that their dialect? If the original city is set as Kyoto, our language will be Putonghua.

If they come up with the fifth great invention, we don't have much to show off casually, but we can speak a local dialect, what can we be proud of? "

After Liu Ling's recruits' training, they were assigned to the heavily armed field force [-] kilometers northwest of Kyoto, which is the gateway to the northwest of Kyoto.

Liu Ling's every letter is full of energy, encouraging Liu Xia to study hard, and Liu Ling's attitude towards Liu Xia beating Huang Zhiying is different from that of his father and elder brother.

Liu Kui and Liu Changqing defended Liu Xia at school, and privately admonished him from the teacher's point of view.

Liu Ling was overwhelmingly supportive, and didn't blame Liu Xia at all. He only told him that if he encounters a similar situation in the future, it's best not to do anything, even if he's skipping class and playing truant, first avoid the edge and don't get beaten. talk about it later.

In fact, Liu Ling was also worried that the teacher would retaliate against Liu Xia. Liu Xia was single and weak, so if an adult teacher seriously fought him, Liu Xia might not be able to take advantage.

On the Tuesday morning of the last week before May [-]st, just as Liu Xia got up to start washing, Wang Zhanjie came.

All the students in the room were holding the things in their hands and standing still.

Wang Zhanjie waved to them and said, "Go and wash your face quickly, don't go to bed and eat." Then he said to Liu Xia: "I listen to the weather forecast on the radio all night. There may be moderate rain in Yuancheng today. Hurry up." Pack up, and you can still catch the 05:30 car. The second grade pre-examination will take up three days in the first grade classroom. You will have a holiday after class at noon tomorrow, three and a half days, and return to school on Sunday afternoon. In case the rain is too heavy, don't take the risk and force it, I will tell Teacher Jiang."

Liu Xia didn't wash his face anymore, he hurried to the classroom to pack up his books and ran to the bus station, so happy that he wanted to laugh out loud.

The car drove out of Rongze in the hazy morning light, Liu Xia felt relaxed and happy all the way, he would be able to see the cat in a while, and he could play with the baby for several days, hehe, the preliminaries are really exciting, why don't you come back a few more times?

When the car reached the top of Qianhe Mountain, Liu Xia's mood was hit a little bit.

The road from Luogezhuang to Rongze is under construction, and only half of the road to Qianhe Mountain can pass. His car waited for a long time, and finally it was the turn of the north-to-south car to leave, and their car was at the highest point of Qianhe Mountain When I was at the top of the locust tree, I was stopped by a man with a red armband: "It's time, the car from the south should leave."

Like Shangyao Mountain, Qianhe Mountain has a relatively gentle and long north slope, while the south slope is steep and steep. Liu Xia can see the looming mountains in the distance even when sitting in the car.

Half of the road on the west side of the cliff was completely broken. Originally, when it was not broken, it was no longer like an asphalt road. It was full of big and small pits, gravel, and dust; work.

After waiting for nearly 10 minutes, he saw a blue coal cart with only three wheels emitting black smoke and slowly turning over a hill in front, followed by similar tricycles and large trucks rushing forward come out.

The situation behind the big trucks really surprised Liu Xia: one after another, the rack trucks were also installed with plugs at both ends, the coal was piled up, and there was an old bed sheet with no color on it, and the part near the front was placed There is a bedroll wrapped in a mat.

The people pulling the carts were all arched and bowed, and they were pulling the carts desperately without raising their heads. In front of them was a donkey or mule with legs, and a puller holding a branch or a small whip walked beside the animals.

The mighty fleet of rack cars is a bit tragic.

Liu Xia suddenly saw a familiar figure in the convoy ahead, he stuck his head out of the car window and shouted: "Chu Fenghe, brother Fenghe."

Chu Fenghe turned his head and followed the voice to find someone. Only then did Liu Xia see a piece of dirty gauze wrapped around his left jaw, and he yelled again.

Chu Fenghe also saw him, smiled at him excitedly, and quickly untied the donkey from the cart that had already reached the top of the slope.

Chu Fenghe led the donkey and squeezed to Liu Xia's window: "Liu Xia, why are you back today?"

Liu Xia said: "My queen is vacating the examination room for the second grade. My teacher said that the weather forecast said there will be moderate rain here today, and told me to come back first. Xiaohe?"

Chu Xiaohe was one of the seven students admitted to Rongze High School by Wangning Junior High School last summer, but he didn't go to Rongze High School, and Liu Xia hasn't seen him since he graduated from junior high school.

Chu Fenghe said enviously: "Your teacher is really kind! I, Xiaohe, will have a holiday tomorrow. Hey, Liu Xia, do you know? Liu Yu and your elder brother are just playing rocks at Wudaokou."

Liu Xia was taken aback: "My eldest brother and fourth brother are both at Wudaokou?" He immediately said to the driver: "Master, I want to get out of the car and go on my own, please open the door for me!"

The driver opened the door, Liu Xia squeezed out from between the car and the mountain wall, and asked Chu Fenghe anxiously: "Is my eldest brother and fourth brother really staying here?"

Chu Fenghe led the donkey and walked down the mountain with him: "Well, let's put it here at night. I don't know where the section of the high-tension line below comes from. The engineer said that no matter how good the asphalt road is, it won't last half a year." It has to be destroyed, let them all be paved with big stones, and the road construction unit recruits people to hit stones near us, and they are all made into such a big square." Chu Fenghe gestured a square of half a meter square: "I heard it is It costs seventy cents a day, and there are many people here."

Liu Xia was in a hurry, but the road was not wide enough, he couldn't walk on it while it was under construction, and on the other hand, there was the flow of overhead vehicles and the people and animals turning back after reaching the top of the mountain. He couldn't run even if he wanted to. stand up.

He saw the gray-black sweat on Chu Fenghe's face flowing into the gauze along the skin, and asked him, "Brother Fenghe, what's wrong with your chin?"

Chu Fenghe touched the gauze with his dark hands, and smiled: "It's okay, I sewed a few stitches, and the hook of the old bastard's shoulder bag was hit."

Liu Xia asked, "Your uncle?"

"Well, the other day, early in the morning on Sunday, he suddenly went to call Xiaohe and us home, saying that he had dreamed about my mother, and then he remembered that it was Xiaohe's birth that day, and said that the eggs at home were cooked and the noodles Everything is ready, let the two of us go and live together.

There has been a lot of coal pulling here recently, and I almost forgot Xiaoheli's son. When I heard him say it, I thought he had a conscience, felt sorry for my mother, and wanted to treat us better in the future, so I went back with him.

Who knows, the two of us didn't finish the bowl of noodles at the dinner table, so he was in trouble.

He said that the wheat will be harvested in more than half a month, and I don’t care about the work in the field when I go to pull my feet all day long. I want to exchange his five acres of hillside land for me and Xiaohe’s one and a half acres of water to irrigate the land. !

Old bastard, he thought I was a fool, let alone five acres of Erdaopo land, it is ten acres of land on the first slope, do you think anyone would be willing to change it?

No matter what he said, I didn't agree, so he yelled at me, saying that I was a heartless white-eyed wolf, and that stinky bitch also said that Xiaohe and I were dogs that we didn't know well, and we returned her words, old bastard He picked up the pole and came over to beat me, Xiaohe blocked him, that woman and her daughter dug my Xiaohe until his face was covered with blood..."

Liu Xia said: "Why are you such an idiot? Brother Fenghe, don't you dare to let the sweat flow into it anymore, it will fester."

Chu Fenghe wiped his sweat with his hands indifferently: "Damn it, what's there to be afraid of? I can't die even if I want to die."

Liu Xia asked: "Then how are your uncle and the others doing now?"

"The three are all lying in the hospital, they dared to dig my creek like that, I don't care who they are?

I took a shovel and fought them desperately, and when I knocked down a piece, I led the river away.I heard that the old bastard had more than 30 stitches on his head and body. I scraped off a piece of the scalp of the broken shoe girl. Her daughter seemed to have stitches on her face. I heard that her older child said that she wanted to find someone Kill me and Xiaohe.

Hmph, tell them to play tricks for another two years, and when Xiaohe grows up in a few years and can take care of himself, I will kill them and let Xiaohe live a peaceful life. "

Liu Xia didn't know what to say, if he hadn't witnessed Chu Fenghe and Chu Xiaohe with his own eyes, he would never have thought that such a father would exist in his life.

After passing through the most crowded section, Chu Fenghe said to Liu Xia: "I know you are anxious to see your brother, I can't walk fast with the donkey, you go down first!"

Liu Xia nimbly passed between the animals and the crowd, and finally saw a group of people pounding stones beside the Wudaokou weighbridge.

He saw Liu Yu who was squatting holding a brazier and Liu Kui who was swinging a hammer at a glance, and ran over yelling.

Liu Kui and Liu Yu were both happy and surprised to see Liu Xia.

Liu Xia excitedly explained the reason for his early return. Liu Kui was very happy: "It's just right for you to come back to spend a few days with the cat. I will come out with your fourth brother, and no one will play with the baby. I also think it may rain. The wheat will be ripe in another 20 days, so don’t dare to rain too much.”

Seeing Liu Kui's eyes suddenly turned to behind him, Liu Xia couldn't help but look back, his eyes collided with Liu Mao who was walking behind him carrying a big tea mug, Liu Xia froze for a moment, then hummed softly With a sound, he turned his head and looked at Liu Kui with pouting lips and puffed cheeks.

He hadn't seen Liu Mao for almost a year. The two of them were at home at the same time on the day of the stove sacrifice, but Liu Mao went up very late, and Liu Xia had already finished eating and returned to his cave with the cat in his arms.

The next day he slept with the cat in his arms, and when he got up, he knew that Liu Mao had left, saying that he was on duty at work during the Chinese New Year and would never come back.

Because Liu Xia returned to school one day earlier because he was afraid of snow, Liu Changchun sent him down the slope and stuffed ten yuan in his pocket, saying, "Don't be angry with your second brother, he is thinking about your second sister-in-law, and he can't turn around for a while. You can't even wipe your face off, but he knows in his heart that you are good to the cat."

Liu Xia didn't want to accept Liu Mao's money, but Liu Kui said: "Take it, this is from my uncle. From now on, you have to eat fried vegetables at least once a day. If you don't eat vegetables, you won't grow taller. Then how will you protect the cat from now on?"

But regardless of whether the family will help Liu Mao again, Liu Xia will be angry when he thinks of what he did to the cat, and after hearing about Chu Fenghe, he doesn't want to see Liu Mao anymore.

Chu Fenghe's father started to dislike his brothers only after he married his stepmother, and Liu Mao, who hadn't married his stepmother, didn't want cats, he was even worse than Chu Fenghe's uncle.

Liu Mao handed the tea mug to Liu Kui, said softly, "I have something else to do, I'll go back first, you can go back to eat later", then turned and left.

Liu Kui looked at Liu Mao's back and sighed, Liu Yu looked at Liu Xia in embarrassment, but didn't speak to defend Liu Mao.

The work of breaking stones will not be a long-term job. The construction unit actually counts the money for Liu Kui and the others according to the number of squares, and the more work, the more pay.

Liu Kui and Liu Yu should hurry up and do more, they don't go home at night, they live here with Liu Mao.

Liu Xia was homesick and didn't want to delay his elder brother's work, so after talking for a while, he went back to Liujialing alone.
