Rebirth: Finding Happiness

The days go by so fast, and spring is about to pass again.It was getting dark in April, and my mother took me to the third uncle's house who lived behind our house before he finished washing the dishes after dinner that day.When I walked to the door, I saw that the door of the third uncle's house was closed, and my mother went up to knock on the door. After a while, I heard the third uncle inside asking: "Who is here, here is here."

"Uncle is my Xiaofang, is uncle at home?"

As soon as the third uncle heard that it was my mother, he opened the door and let us in. "Have you eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, eat some at my place."

"Is my uncle there? I'll ask her something."

"I'm cooking in the kitchen. You and Xiao Ting sit down first and I'll call her. Xiao Ting, why don't you come to play with your uncle? You sit with your mother. Last time your aunt came to buy a lot of snacks, you sit first Come on, uncle will get it for you."

"You don't need to go get it, uncle, you can keep it for yourself." Mom told uncle not to take it as soon as he ate, but uncle didn't listen to mother, first went to the kitchen to call uncle, and then went upstairs to get some biscuits There is also fruit for me to sit and eat slowly, and said that after I finish eating, I will decorate it for me to take home to eat.

"Hey! Xiao Ting, she's pretty again. Are you good at home and have a good meal? You have to listen to your mother, do you know?"

"Uncle, I'm a good boy, and I eat well. If you don't believe me, ask your mother, she is a good boy."

"Alright, our Xiaoting is a good boy. Xiaofang, what do you want from me?"

"Uncle, I want to ask the family about Xiao Ting's schooling."

"Xiao Ting goes to school, but I remember that she was born in the eighth month of the lunar calendar. She is not old enough to go to the first grade until she is eight years old. Why are you asking her about going to school now?"

"It's the child who said he wanted to go to school, so I wanted to ask you if I could help."

"Xiao Ting, can you tell my uncle why you want to go to school?"

"Auntie, I want to go to college to earn a lot of money to take care of my mother after I go to school to learn knowledge. Taigong taught me to read and said that I am very smart and can remember things after reading it. Auntie, do you think I am smart?"

"Really, if the uncle's test on you is really what you said, then the uncle will let you go to school like Ming's children, okay?"

"Okay, I'm sure I can do it." After speaking, the uncle brought back a Chinese book and a math test paper for elementary school.Then let me read the content of the book first, and then said to me: "Xiao Ting, you read it now, can you recite the one you just read to me now?"

"Okay, then I will start "Huoshaoyun": After dinner, Huoshaoyun came up, and the sunlight made the children's faces blush. The big white dog turned red. The red rooster turned golden. The black hen turned It was red sandalwood. The old man who fed the pigs was leaning against the wall, watching with a smile on his two little white pigs that had turned into little golden pigs. He was just about to say: "You have changed too..." A man sitting in the shade walked by The man said to him: "Your old man will live a long life, you always have a golden beard. "The clouds in the sky burned from the west to the east, and they were red, as if the sky was on fire. The fire clouds in this place changed a lot, sometimes they were red, sometimes golden, sometimes half purple and half yellow, and sometimes half gray and half lily. Grape gray, pear yellow, eggplant purple, these colors are available in the sky. There are also some colors that can’t be said or seen before. After a while, a horse appeared in the sky, with its head facing south and its tail facing west...for a while In a trance, the sky looks like this and that, but in fact nothing looks like it, and I can’t see anything clearly. I have to lower my head, rub my eyes, and look again after a while. But the sky just doesn’t wait for those who love it Child. After a while, the burning cloud went down."

"It's all right, Xiao Ting is really good, so let's do this math test paper now."

I first took a look at the words "first grade mid-term exam paper" written on the test paper, and then I looked at the questions in it. The above questions were taught by Taigong and I felt very simple.But then I finished it carefully and checked it again before handing the test paper to my uncle.After the uncle finished reading it, she said to her mother: "The math is all right. This child has a very good brain and needs to be cultivated. Xiaofang, I have agreed to go to school. You will take it with you on September [-]st in the second half of the year." Children come to school to find me, and I will help you with other things, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

"Really, thank you, uncle, but I want to ask how much the tuition fee is. I have to prepare first."

"Because elementary school lays the foundation, it is best for children to learn from the first grade to lay the foundation first, and then they can learn it in high school. There is also English class in middle school, which is also very important for the future. So Don’t be sloppy. The tuition fee for the first grade is 288 yuan. If you don’t tell me by then, I will tell the finance manager that it’s okay to delay the payment.”

"Okay, thank you very much, then I will take the child back first, and I am sorry to delay your meal."

"It's okay, isn't it just eating, it doesn't matter if it's early or late. Xiaofang, bring up the child well, and all hardships will pass."

"I know, I just want to bring up the two children and I can do anything. Let's not talk anymore, Xiaoting, let's go home." After speaking, my mother talked to my uncle again and took me home. , My five sense organs are particularly sensitive because of my martial arts practice, and I heard my uncle's sigh.Although there was this unhappy episode, relatively speaking, I was still in a good mood. I was finally able to go to school, and I was one step closer to wanting my mother to live a good life.

Next, in order to save my school fees, my mother started to help others make festival lanterns. The procedure was very complicated for only 600 cents. Seeing my mother getting up early in the morning and going to bed late at night made me feel very sad. , and then I started to help my mother to do it together so that my mother could hurry up. At the beginning, my mother didn’t let me help, so I told my mother that Xiao Miao in the next row would help her. I will be careful of the glass on the lamp, so that my mother will let me make it together.But I found that because I did it together, she would take a little more, and she still got up early and went to bed late as before.This kind of life didn’t stop until it was almost time to sign up, and the holiday lights were gone. In the past few months, my mother has earned a total of more than [-], and after paying the tuition, there will be about [-] left, which makes my mother very happy and said to wait for next year. Continue to do it at this time, so that my tuition fee will be no problem.When I saw my mother so happy, I was also happy, because I found that my mental power has improved. After the mental power is improved, everything can be done with twice the result with half the effort, and it is much faster. I think that next year I will be able to spend the summer vacation by myself. It's time to make your own holiday lights to earn tuition fees.In this way, I started to go to school during the day and worked hard to learn the knowledge I didn't understand. At night, when my mother was asleep, I went to the space to learn martial arts, or practice mental strength with embroidery.Since then, I have gone farther and farther on the road of "other people's children".
