all the way

Liu Xia was busy for several days after the welcome party, because the student union and various clubs recruited new students, most of their announcements were made by Liu Xia, and the introducer was Qiao Yanfang.

Qiao Yanfang later found out that Liu Xia was really busy. She took up part of Liu Xia's fixed reading time every night by doing so. She was a little bit sorry, so she promised that when the student union finished recruiting new students, they would organize a few dances, and she would teach Liu Xia how to dance. Ballroom dancing, if someone asks Liu Xia to write something in the future, she will also be in charge.

Liu Xia was actually not interested in ballroom dancing at all. Two men and women he didn't know or were familiar with were swaying slowly while hugging each other.

However, several people in their dormitory were very supportive, saying that if Qiao Yanfang broke her promise, Qi'er would no longer be asked to do long-term jobs for the student union.

Qiao Yanfang said: "It's absolutely impossible. The members of our school's student union are actively studying and trying to learn a few more tricks. When the time comes, the elementary school students, my sister will take you to play!"

Qiao Yanfang also found a good place for Yun Jian to practice break dancing. The small auditorium of the school is usually empty at night. She negotiated with the teacher in charge of this area and gave Yun Jian and the others a key. As long as the small auditorium does not hold activities, They are available anytime.

Liu Xia finally began to practice those large ground rotations in breakdancing.

Liu Hai and Liu Xia now have a letter in half a month. Liu Hai is 12 points satisfied with his university. The part of the tuition fee for art students will be waived immediately after the school reviews the family status form he submitted. He is now There is a stipend every month, but not as much as Liu Xia, 26 yuan a month.

But Liu Hai, like Liu Xia, couldn't spend it all, and could exchange it for about ten yuan in cash every month.

Liu Hai has a bed in the school dormitory, but most of the time he still lives in Zeng Guangtong's house. Another family moved out, and Zeng Guangtong's house became more spacious.

The entire courtyard they lived in belonged to Zeng Guang’s family, but during his deportation back to his hometown, other people occupied the east and west wing rooms and the inverted seats except for the three north rooms of the main house.

After Zeng Guangtong returned to Beijing, he asked the relevant departments to ask these people to move out and return them to their own houses. Later, the neighborhood committee of the street also specially sent people to do the work of those people, but only the rebel leader who was the first to occupy the east wing of their house Said nothing and moved out a month later.

Several other households also knew that this was Zeng Guang's family's property, and it was unreasonable for them to occupy it, so they kept quiet, but they just refused to move.

The old couple who lived in the Westinghouse had a policy of mourning soldiers. Whenever someone approached them, they wiped their tears, saying that it was difficult for them, and that they had lived for most of their lives without even a place to live.

But Zeng Guangtong heard that they have a house in their factory, but the environment there is not as good as Zeng Guangtong's.

Zeng Guang’s house is spacious and quiet. There are two Xifu crabapples and a pomegranate tree in the courtyard. The flowers are red and willows are green, just looking at them makes people feel comfortable.

The people living in the west wing were relatives of the head of the rebel faction. The rebel faction let them live in at the beginning, but now when the rebel faction persuaded them to move out, they ignored him.

Zeng Guangtong had no choice but to throw their things on the street and beat them out, right?

Liu Ling now goes to the capital to see Liu Hai once a month. Zeng Guangtong specifically told him that Liu Hai's life is not for him to worry about, but Liu Ling can't accept Zeng Guangtong's help with peace of mind, so no matter what Liu Hai says about his money, He can't finish spending, and he will give Liu Hai ten yuan on time every month.

Liu Xia's current life is peaceful and happy. He moves briskly according to his own plan, adding a few notes occasionally, which are also cheerful episodes.

In October of the lunar calendar, ten days after he mailed away the birthday present for Mao'er, he received a reply from Mao'er, and the little guy was actually troubled: he couldn't get [-] points in the Chinese test now.

Mao'er and Liu Rui were in the mixed class of grades [-] and [-] following the courses of grade [-], and they scored double percent in each exam, so they went directly to the mixed class of grades [-] and [-] after the summer vacation.

Since the third grade, the composition class has been taught. Maoer is very new to it, and he liked it very much at the beginning, because Liu Chengbin knew that the children were new to composition and would not be able to express it very well. In order to encourage them, he gave the children composition scores. is very high.

Because Mao'er is much smaller than other children, Liu Chengbin is more tolerant towards him.

But that kind of relaxation and encouragement is only a means to guide children's interest at the beginning. It is impossible to give all students the same high score indiscriminately. After three months of school, Liu Chengbin began to grade students according to their actual composition level.

The first time, Maoer was miserable. He scored 65 points, the third from the bottom in the class. The main reason is: the difference in the number of words is too large.

The teacher required no less than [-] characters, and Maoer finished writing a few dozen characters.

In order to explain that he was wronged for not being able to eat [-]%, Maoer copied his composition verbatim and asked Liu Xia to comment.

Liu Xia looked at Mao'er's essay, which took up less than one-third of a composition paper, and felt a headache and a toothache.

The title of the composition is "My Hometown", and Maoer wrote it like this:

My hometown is on the bank of Fengxi River.

There are many persimmon trees, pear trees, apricot trees, and many small trees that bear wild fruits, as well as hares and pheasants.

My hometown is very beautiful.

I love my hometown.

Liu Xia recalled the writing points repeatedly emphasized by his former teacher when he wrote "My Hometown" when he was a child:

First, use a famous scenery to point out the location of my hometown, for example, my home is on the bank of the Yellow River; my home is at the foot of Taihang Mountain...etc; hundred miles.

Second, we should focus on describing the scenery and specialties of our hometown. There is no need to give examples, because the scenery and specialties of each place are different, and everyone knows what is produced near their home;

Third, at the end of the article, you must summarize the overall appearance of your hometown, and then bring out your love for your hometown, and end.

Every sentence of Mao’er corresponds to a key point of the teacher. He feels that he has written exactly according to the teacher’s requirements, and there are no typos. Why doesn’t the teacher give him [-] points?

Liu Xia thought hard for most of the night, and finally thought of two reasons that could comfort Mao'er's wounded heart. He wrote back to Mao'er:

Baby cat, my uncle also thinks that your composition fully meets the requirements of the teacher, but I know that the teacher will definitely not give you [-] points.

Because composition is different from other things, you can't get [-] points, the texts in your language books are also written by others, even if their compositions are in books, you can't get [-] points.

Uncle's composition usually takes [-] cents, if you don't believe me, you can ask uncle.

Mao'er's next letter became cheerful again, he didn't care how many points the person who wrote the text got for them, my uncle is so good at studying, and he gets [-] points for composition, which means that [-] points for composition is the best. OK

Liu Xia, who always likes to show off Mao'er's intelligence and good study, didn't dare to let the other people in the dormitory know about Mao'er's composition and his reply. .

Liu Xia folded all Mao'er's letters separately and put them together. When he was free, he took them out and read them side by side. Every time he read them, he felt warm and comfortable in his heart. His little baby is really smart, cute and caring.

In late November, the first sleet fell in Jiangcheng, and winter came.

Mao Jianyong started to hibernate again, but every night he would sit under the quilt and honestly copy Liu Xia’s notes. Although it’s not a shame to make up the college exam, if he could, he still didn’t want to make it up: “After the Spring Festival, I still don’t want to make it up. You have to think about making up the exam, it doesn't feel good at all."

In the English grading test in December, all seven people from 219 participated in the battle. The result will not be known until the next semester. Liu Xia is a little uneasy. He always remembers what Liu Ling said about studying. The certificates are all in hand.

After Qiao Yanfang's hands-on teaching many times, and after stepping on her toes countless times, Liu Xia and everyone in 219 can dance ballroom dancing proficiently, three steps, four steps, free steps. At the New Year's party, Liu Xia I danced one by one with the senior sisters of the student union.

Liu Xia, Hei Deqing, and Yun Jian are the most popular dance partners. Apart from the chic and beautiful dancing posture, another important reason is that they are tall.

Liu Xia is now the same as Hei Deqing, three centimeters taller than Yun Jian, such a height is very conspicuous in a school with a lot of southerners.

The jeans Liu Xia bought originally refused to cut off the part that protruded in order not to damage the shape of the pants. Now it turns out that he is very far-sighted, and his two pairs of jeans fit right now.

White bootcut jeans paired with a white or black turtleneck sweater, simple, refreshing, foreign style, coupled with a tall and well-proportioned figure, Liu Xia is now a handsome boy.

Qiao Yanfang folded her arms and looked Liu Xia up and down: "If this little face is a bit more mature, sister, I will go all out and eat young grass."

Liu Xia blew a whistle proudly, turned around and went with Yun Jian and the others to breakdance casually to the music of Free Step: just a few girls, if they dance from beginning to end, they will become all boys public enemy.

Qiao Yanfang smiled and spun into the middle of the dance floor with a senior who invited her to dance, but her eyes were on Liu Xia who was swaying casually with a group of boys beside her: "I don't know who will give it to such a recruiting junior? "

Happy winter vacation as always.

When Liu Changqing answered Liu Chuan's question of "hitting the carriage wheels", Liu Xia and the others thought he was just saying it casually, but when Liu Xia and the others returned home, 20 meters of soil had already been buried in the cave to the east. , and went westward for nearly ten meters.

Liu Changqing plans to increase the seven-hole cave dwelling, which is a huge project for a family. In the past six months, he, Liu Changchun, and Liu Kui really can't work except for rainy and snowy days, and they are basically busy with this at other times.

Liu Fulai also brought Liu Sen and Liu Yao over to help every day.

Liu Kui hasn't found a job outside to earn money in the past six months, and no one mentions the road between Wangning and Sandaohe now.

But Liu Kui has never been idle. In addition to digging the kiln, he also found time to collect cicada sloughs from nearby trees and shrubs; bought a flashlight, and caught scorpions in the crevices of stones at night; A lot of coriander.

He took these things to the health center and asked Wang Junyu to help him see how they were doing. Wang Junyu happened to have something to go to Rongze at that time, so on a Sunday, Liu Chuan drove back, took Wang Junyu with him, and the two of them sent the things to the county. medical company.

A sack of white grass roots, a woven bag of cicada sloughs, and a woven bag of scorpions boiled in salt water and dried, all sold for over a hundred dollars.

Because of the more than 100 yuan, Liu Changqing has not received a penny from Liu Chuan in the past six months.

Liu Ling, Liu Hai, and Liu Xia joined the ranks of digging the kiln and bulldozing as soon as they got home. Mao'er, Liu Wei, and Liu Rui were not idle either.

Maoer and Liu Rui carried the excavated soil into the ditch with a small basket. The amount of soil the two little guys transported each time was really limited, which was incomparable to adults with one cart or two large baskets at a time, but they did it. They were very cheerful, and their family members encouraged them to do so.

The cat only transports the soil around Liu Xia, and every time he comes back with an empty basket, he smiles happily at Liu Xia. If Liu Xia stretches out his hand to pinch his little nose and ears, he will throw himself into Liu Xia's arms to act coquettishly, asking Kiss the forehead again, and then continue to move the soil vigorously.

Liu Changqing and Liu Kui were supposed to suspend work until the 22nd, but Liu Ling and the others wanted to do more while they were at home, but they worked until the 26th of the lunar calendar. Liu Ling, Liu Hai, and Liu Xia did not stop until the [-]th of the lunar calendar.

These few days, Liu Xia and Mao'er slept very comfortably, and Mao'er almost peed on the kang.

They were so tired from working during the day, Liu Xia held the cat in his arms, and both of them fell asleep as soon as they lay down. Liu Xia felt his left leg was a little hot in his sleep, so he woke up suddenly, and picked up the cat. , stomped on Liu Hai, who was sleeping soundly, and rushed out of the cave without shoes on, the cat unconsciously asked Liu Xia to urinate at the door, and Liu Xia put him back on the kang He didn't wake up last night.

The cat slept on Liu Xia's body, so it only urinated a little on Liu Xia's leg. Liu Xia took off his trousers and wiped it casually, and soon fell asleep again.

Chen Zhenbei didn't come back with Liu Ling after the holiday as he said. He is the company commander, and there are unwritten rules in the army. The more holidays come, the leader must stay on duty. His instructor just had a child, so he took a break during the Spring Festival For the once-a-year family leave, Chen Zhenbei had to stay and spend the holiday with the soldiers.

Liu Ling brought back Chen Zhenbei's camera and several boxes of film, but they still didn't take a family portrait.

Su Xiaohui has been pregnant for more than eight months now, she can't go back to Liujialing with such a stupid body, and Liu Changqing doesn't allow Liu Chuan to go home for the New Year this year.

Su Xiaohui's due date is around the tenth day of the second month of the lunar calendar, but she looks much stupider than ordinary pregnant women. Liu Xia almost couldn't recognize her when Rong Ze saw her.

Su Xiaohui, who used to be slender and slender, is now a round ball. She can't even wash her feet because her stomach is too big and she can't see her feet.

Liu Changqing and Sun Chang'e made a special trip to Rongze to see her after New Year's Day. Sun Chang'e saw that her daughter-in-law was really handicapped, so she felt that she should stay and take care of her.

But Yanagawa was determined not to let it go. The Chinese New Year was approaching, and there were so many things to do at home, such as dismantling, washing, sewing, and mending, and there were so many people who needed to eat, so we couldn't leave all of them to my sister-in-law.

In fact, there is one more thing that Liu Chuan didn't mention. The cave at home is very comfortable to live in, but Liu Chuan and his house are freezing cold. Liu Chuan was afraid that Sun Chang'e, who had lived in the cave for decades, would not be able to bear it.

In that cold winter, what remains in Mao’er’s memory is not only the family’s enthusiastic digging and opening of a kiln to expand their home, but also the scene of Liu Xia sitting on the kang with him in the warm cave dwelling, reading to him and making awards for him.

The background of the postcard Liu Xia used for the cat this time is the blue sea, and there are two people walking together on the beach.

Because Mao'er scored 86 points in Chinese, he couldn't meet the requirement of "three good students" to score above [-] points in each subject, so he gave Maoer the title of "the bravest good boy of the year".

Mao'er loves this title far more than "three good students". He thinks that boys' bravery is the most important thing.

Liu Wei and Liu Rui won the titles of "The Most Diligent Boy" and "The Most Unity and Friendly Boy" respectively.

When Mao'er was holding his pocket certificate and pasted it on the bedside, he said to Liu Xia: "Uncle, I will become more and more brave in the future, and I will protect you when I grow up!"

The author has something to say: Bo: Yin, father.
