rewrite life

That night, Tang Shi finished writing the outline of the nearly [-]-character novel with itchy hands, and almost wrote his hands like chicken feet. Only then did he straighten out his thoughts.Putting down his pen and rubbing his eyebrows, Tang Shi twisted his neck wearily, and looked at the alarm clock on the desk, it was almost twelve o'clock.But Tang Shi was still in good spirits and not sleepy at all.

Standing up, twisting his waist and moving his buttocks in the narrow inner room a few times, then sat down again, Tang Shi took out the language books he was more familiar with and started to do his homework.After many years, the passages of poems that he memorized at that time have long been forgotten. Tang Shi flipped through the book and finished all the homework in a daze. It was almost one o'clock in the morning.Mother Tang, who woke up halfway through the night, saw the light in the bedroom, opened the door and came in to urge Tang Shi to sleep.Tang Shi, who was used to staying up all night surfing the Internet, strongly opposed it, and prepared to continue fighting in the name of studying hard, but was brutally suppressed by Tang's mother.Unable to break up, he pushed Tang Shi to the kitchen to wash up, and then pushed him back to sleep.

Tang Shi tossed and turned in bed, thinking that he would toss and turn and couldn't fall asleep.Unexpectedly, within three to five minutes, a wave of drowsiness swept over him, and when he opened his eyes again, he was woken up by Tang's mother violently shaking him.

"Get up quickly, you're going to be late for school."

Tang Shi looked sleepily at the alarm clock on the bedside table, it was only a little past five o'clock.He couldn't help but howled in pain, shrunk his body, and stuck his head under the pillow, really not wanting to wake up.

Tang's mother pushed and pushed to no avail, and impatiently pulled the towel off Tang Shi's body, pulled Tang Shi's arm, and pulled him up from the bed.Throwing the school uniform on the desk over, he said, "Get up quickly, brush your teeth and wash your face, breakfast is ready. Mom will go out of the stall first, and you go to school quickly after eating. Take all the books you need to bring, don't throw them away. "

After finishing speaking, he took out another 30 yuan and put it in the interlayer of the inner compartment of the schoolbag. "Buy some delicious food at school at noon, you can eat noodles in a box lunch. Don't eat the roadside stalls outside the school, you will die."

Then put a clean apple and a banana in a plastic bag and put them into the small net bag on the side of the schoolbag, saying: "This is for you to eat between classes, wash them all, remember to eat."

Then he asked Tang Shi to study hard and listen to lectures in class. He looked up at his watch, and it was almost 05:30.He hurriedly said "I have to go", and then left like a gust of wind.

Tang Shi sat on the bed in a daze for a while, and then remembered that Tang's mother hadn't opened a breakfast shop yet, but was pushing a cart to set up a stall selling buns in front of the district hospital every morning.Because the buns are big and delicious, they are very popular among doctors and patients.A big bun worth 300 cents a day can earn more than 200 yuan a day after selling it. After excluding the cost, there is still a net surplus of more than 80 yuan.Tang Shi clearly remembered that in the second semester of his freshman year, his family bought a building of more than [-] square meters in the urban area with the money from Tang's mother selling buns. Later, Tang's mother used the money she saved to open the Tang family. The porridge shop became a well-known breakfast shop in City X more than ten years later.

But that was more than ten years later, and now Mama Tang is still a small street vendor, not even a decent stall.There was only one tricycle with flat tires, a gas tank, a dozen drawers of buns, a pot of sticky and delicious corn porridge, and a box of plastic pickle boxes with many compartments.

Tang Shi rubbed his face with his hands, got up quickly to wash up, and when he returned to the living room, he saw milk and eggs that had been eaten for more than ten years on the dining table. After a period of time, the hot milk had become lukewarm. Yes, the three eggs were also peeled, and they were placed in a porcelain bowl tender and white.This habit was maintained until Tang Shi graduated from high school and went to university.He just started peeling the egg skins by himself.

That's why outsiders always say that Mother Tang dotes on Tang Shi so badly, and this is true.

Tang Shi sighed, and finished eating eggs and milk in two mouthfuls. It was almost six o'clock.According to his past habits, Tang Shi would go to school immediately after eating, and then lay down on the table to catch up on sleep before the bell rang for the morning self-study at seven o'clock.But now, Tang Shi picked up his heavy schoolbag and walked out of the house, rode his bicycle out of the alley, crossed two streets, and came to the entrance of the district hospital.

Mama Tang's stall was already surrounded by a group of family members of doctors and patients who came to buy breakfast with lunch boxes.From far away, I could still hear Tang's mother yelling "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, come one by one", Tang Shi quickly rushed into the crowd, put his schoolbag on the tricycle frame, and raised his hand to take a person who was holding it. Then he lowered his head and pulled out a bamboo clip from the bamboo tube on the side of the tricycle, used the clip to hold six buns and handed them to the guests, saying loudly: "Don't surround my mother, come to me."

Tang's mother took a quick look at Tang Shi, and she didn't have time to speak, she lowered her head to pack buns and porridge for another customer.Because I haven't done this kind of work for a long time, the craftsmanship is relatively unfamiliar, and the speed of pinching the buns is slower. Occasionally, the skin of the buns is easy to be broken if the force is not right, which makes the guests complain.Fortunately, people in this day and age are very simple, even if the buns are torn, few of them clamor for them.On the contrary, there were two very old grandpas and grandmas, who smiled and praised Tang Shi for being good to Tang's mother, saying that Tang Shi was filial.

"These days, there are not many children who can help their parents with work."

This busy work lasted for about ten minutes, and finally a group of people dispersed, leaving an endless stream of guests in twos and threes.This made Tang's mother heave a sigh of relief, and raised her hand to look at her watch. It was already past 06:30, and Tang's mother said to Tang Shi, "Go to school quickly, don't come tomorrow. If you have the time, you might as well learn to study hard." .”

Tang Shi smiled and said, "School doesn't start until seven o'clock, so it's useless for me to go early. From tomorrow onwards, I'll get up early and come sell buns with you. I'll go to school when the hour comes."

Tang's mother frowned, and said, "If you have nothing to do, you can sleep a little longer, get enough energy and listen carefully in class, don't make such useless things."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Tang Shi's red hands that were sprayed by cage steam, looked carefully, and said, "It doesn't look like working hands. Does it hurt? Do you need to apply some medicine?"

Tang Shi chuckled, pulled his hands and said, "It's not that delicate, it's just that I got angry. Just go back and rinse with cold water."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand at Tang's mother, and said with a smile, "I'm going to school, bye."

City No. [-] High School is not too far from Tang Shi's home, it takes about ten minutes by bike.This is because after Tang Shi was admitted to a high school, Tang's mother specially moved back from the original house and rented it again, so that Tang Shi could sleep more in the morning and come back earlier in the evening, without wasting time on commuting to and from school.

It's a pity that Tang Shi didn't know much about Tang's mother's hard work. This can be seen from Tang Shi's later college entrance examination results.

Opposite the gate of City No. [-] Middle School, there is a dilapidated bookstore.Tang Shi entered the bookstore opposite the school with his schoolbag on his back, and there were already a few students in school uniforms standing in twos and threes.Tang Shi walked to the bar, handed the extracurricular books in the bag to the boss, and said, "Boss, return the books."

The owner of the bookstore is a 25-year-old young man, tall and thin, with pale skin.In the words of later generations, he is a standard otaku.He looked at Tang Shi who came to withdraw the book, smiled and shook the book in his hand, and said with a smile: "There are a batch of new books, don't you want to choose one?"

Tang Shi shook his head and said, "The mid-term grades are down, and I failed the exam. My mother won't let me read extracurricular books."

The owner of the bookstore let out a regretful "Oh" and stopped persuading Tang Shi to borrow books. He lowered his head and picked up a big green book from the table, asking, "When did you borrow it?"

How could Tang Shi think of such a trivial matter, and shook his head immediately.The boss could only flip through a few articles from memory, and finally found the record of borrowing books, crossed it out with a ballpoint pen, returned the remaining 20 yuan deposit to Tang Shi, and said, "Your mother is right, it is better to study more." Important. These idle books can actually be read at any time."

Tang Shi smiled slightly, but did not answer.Taking the money from the owner of the bookstore, he turned around and left the bookstore.

After some tossing, it was already seven o'clock.The ringing of the morning self-study bell in the school was deafening, and the students outside the school immediately rushed into the school like ants who had taken medicine.Tang Shi is also one of them.After hurrying to find his class, the head teacher, Lao Yu, was already standing on the podium.The English class representative is leading everyone in the morning reading.Seeing Tang Shi who was out of breath at the door, Lao Yu frowned unhappily.Without him, every teacher hates those students who are not active in class, do not study hard, and do not do well in exams.

Fortunately, at this time, the country promotes quality education, and repeated orders and repeated orders are not recommended for teachers to punish students corporal punishment. Only then did Tang Shi avoid the bad luck of coming to the station for late punishment.Under Lao Yu's cold eyes, he walked into the classroom with his schoolbag in his arms, and took a seat.

The deskmate Lu Hengzhi shook the English book in his hand and said in a low voice, "Page 24, the second paragraph."

Tang Shi turned his head and looked at Lu Hengzhi's face, which instantly looked younger by more than ten years, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Lu Hengzhi watched Tang Shi staring at him intently, and swallowed a little guilty.Looking at the other side with flickering eyes, he thought to himself: "You won't have guessed what I'm going to say later, have you?"

The head teacher in front of the podium, Lao Yu, hugged his chest, frowning and staring at the student in the back row who was late and sneaked away from the morning reading, and also affected the study at the same table, his face was full of bitterness and hatred.After holding back for a while and seeing that Tang Shi still didn't respond, he had to raise his voice to remind: "It's time for morning reading, don't slip away."

Tang Shi came back to his senses, and immediately noticed Lao Yu's scorching gaze staring at him, and shrank his neck in a lack of confidence.Open the English textbook and read it honestly.
