Back to 1988

After Mi Yang returned home with the donations from his class, he didn't try to be brave. He went directly to Mi Zehai, gave the money to his father, and asked the adults in his family to help him buy stationery.

Yone Zehai was taken aback, and said, "All the children in your class gathered together?"

Mi Yang nodded, and said: "Yes, we took the toys and books we didn't want and sold them for charity. I sold my little frog toy and the checkers my grandma gave me." They were sold separately, and a glass ball was drawn for [-] cents. He didn't tell Yonezawa about this.

Yone Zehai snorted his son's little head, and said with a smile: "Yes, your brain is fast enough, you can think of this kind of thing."

Mi Yang said: "Dad, I will make a list for you. You can buy these for me, mainly notebooks and pencils."

Yonezawa nodded, and agreed: "Don't worry, I will do the shopping, and I will send you to school later."

Probably thinking that his son's organizational skills are quite good, Yone Zehai told Cheng Qing again in the evening, and specially made a side dish of braised pork.Cheng Qing’s braised pork dish is learned from the elders in the family. It is a specialty dish. The lean pork belly is stewed oily, and some potatoes are added. All full of meat.

Mi Yang likes to eat bibimbap with braised pork soup. The potato cubes are stewed until soft, and it is the best to dig a bowl of mixed rice with a spoon.

Seeing that the two of them liked to eat, Cheng Qing was also happy, so he took the meat to Mi Yang, and said, "Don't eat potatoes all the time, Yang Yang, he also eats meat, otherwise you won't be able to grow as long as Luochuan, and you will be better than him." She's two months younger, she looks half a head taller than you..."

Yonezawa Kai said: "My son is tired from studying, and he has skipped a grade. He has to learn a lot of things every day." This one is quite proud.

Cheng Qing smiled and said, "Luo Chuan is also learning. I heard from Sister Luo that she plans to skip the third grade next spring."

Yone Zehai thought for a while and said, "My son dances early!"

Cheng Qing said: "Your son is shorter than a human, why don't you say it... Yangyang, don't spit out the mushrooms, swallow them."

Mi Yang's move to take the opportunity to be picky eaters was stopped again, and his parents stopped arguing, and stared at him not to be picky eaters, so he could only chew and swallow them casually.

Yone Zehai moved quickly, and the next day contacted a friend who was in charge of procurement in the army and asked him to help wholesale some stationery.

Mi Yang and the squad leader went to pick up the stationery together, and the uncle Mi Yang who helped to deliver the things also knew him, so he went over and said hello first.The uncle was wearing a military uniform, helping the boss who wholesaled stationery to unload the goods together, and asked Mi Yang with a smile, "Yangyang, where do you put it? Send it to your class, or send it directly to the school warehouse?"

Mi Yang said: "The warehouse, there is also a teacher's statistics over there. When we go there, we can just say that we are in Class [-], Grade [-]."

The squad leader also went over with him, seeing Mi Yang bent over to carry something, he wanted to move it immediately, but was stopped immediately.The uncle said with a smile: "No, you two are too young to carry these things, just walk in front and lead us the way."

Mi Yang was not polite to him, and immediately took the lead and ran forward. The uncle behind him was walking like flying. They had trained a lot in the barracks, so the weight was nothing at all, and they hadn't gone to the mountain to practice hard.

The warehouse is located in a separate vacant classroom on the northernmost side of the first floor. There are already a lot of materials stored there. Mi Yang and the others have a lot of things. It is very spectacular to move over a dozen boxes and stack them there one after another.

Mi Yang took the list given by the boss and calculated with the squad leader. There were 12 boxes in total, 4 small boxes were pencils, and the remaining 8 boxes were notebooks.Of the 200 yuan, [-] yuan bought [-] pencils, which cost an average of [-] cents a piece; wholesale homework books for daily use such as word books, pinyin books, and matts cost [-] cents to [-] cent a book. I bought [-] copies for ten cents; thicker ones such as the big drama and composition books cost [-] cents. The uncle who helped the army heard that it was donated to the school in the mountainous area, so he paid for them from his own pocket. I bought [-] copies and sent them together in a box.

These were much cheaper than those sold in the shops around the school, and the quantities far exceeded their expectations.The squad leader's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he whispered to Mi Yang, "Mi Yang, your uncle is really amazing!"

Mi Yang laughed, and said: "If you buy more, it's the wholesale price, which is much cheaper."

After handing over to the teacher in charge of statistics in the warehouse and signing, Mi Yang returned to the classroom with the class monitor.

The task of donating money has been completed. When the class meeting started in the afternoon, Teacher Wang looked at everyone on the podium, frowned slightly and then let go, and said: "I have already heard about the donation from the monitor, everyone Well done."

Many children in the class breathed a sigh of relief. They still had a natural respect for the teacher deep in their hearts, and listened carefully with their small faces raised.

Teacher Wang ordered a few more students to praise her at will, and when it was Mi Yang's turn, she said with a more serious tone: "Some students may feel that they are different from other students because they have excellent grades. It’s time to act boldly.” She called out her name, “Mi Yang, stand up and tell me what’s wrong with you?”

Mi Yang stood up and said, "Teacher, I don't know either."

Teacher Wang said: "Other students are buying and selling second-hand items, what about you? Look at what you have done. The lottery draw is tantamount to gambling. Is this what a primary school student should do? If you don't pay attention when you are young, you will break the law when you grow up." ..."

Mi Yang looked at her and asked innocently: "Teacher, there is a welfare lottery booth at the gate of our school. Is it against the law?"

A classmate next to him muttered in a low voice: "There is also a lottery in the school canteen!"

The boys in the back row even raised their voices a little bit: "That's right, we went to draw a sticker today. The one sold by the school itself is the same as Mi Yang's. What did Mi Yang do wrong?"

"Mi Yang donated all of it, and he didn't make money with it."

……

The canteen was run by relatives of the principal, and the welfare lottery kiosks outside were all related people. Naturally, Teacher Wang didn't dare to say it, but his face became even uglier when he heard the students' rebuttals.She wanted to say something when she heard knocks on the outside door twice. The principal and a director walked in with a smile. What about the class meeting? That's just right, if I bother you for a few minutes, I'll also say a few words."

Teacher Wang eased his expression, stepped aside and said, "Of course, please."

The principal walked to the podium, unfolded the newspaper in his hand, and said with a smile: "You children in class one of the third grade, are you very good? It's all in the newspaper. Look, it praised you so well. I I feel that I can’t just let outsiders praise me, so I’d like to come here in person and praise you too.” He looked up and saw that Mi Yang was still standing, and he still had some impression of this well-behaved kid, his eyes lit up and he said, “Yo, I just I want to praise you by name, Mi Yang, right? You organized very well this time, and your class donated the most items in the school, and you are very caring, and the method is also novel..."

The principal praised him, except for Mi Yang, he also called a few children by name to stand up, all of whom had their names in the newspapers, and he emphasized a few words of praise.

Standing up this time is no longer being criticized by the teacher, and the children whose names are called are also very honored, each of them puffed up their small chests.

When the roll call came to Xiaopang, Xiaopang couldn't believe his ears when he stood up. His grades were poor, and he was usually criticized when he stood up. This was the first time he was praised by the principal.His eye circles turned red, but he immediately grinned, his eyes narrowed into two slits, not to mention how happy he was.

The principal said: "You have done a very good job this time. Next Monday, the school will present your class with a collective honor certificate after the flag is raised. Don't be late, otherwise you won't be able to get it."

The whole class laughed together and shouted: "We must be there on time!"

The principal left, and Mi Yang and the others also sat down. The children in the class all looked at Teacher Wang, waiting for her to speak.

Teacher Wang's face was red and white, and when the school bell rang, she lowered her anger and said, "School is over!"

She walked out first by herself, and within two steps of going out, she heard a burst of cheerful shouts from the class. It was originally just the sound of being happy with the award, but to her, it sounded like she was deliberately humiliated by the students. lips, a trace of irritation flashed across his face.

Mi Yang left early this time and went to the gate of the first grade to wait for Bai Luochuan. The children he knew didn't dare to say hello when they saw him. In their hearts, Mi Yang was already a "big kid" in the third grade.

Bai Luochuan came out soon, and on the way home together, Mi Yang asked him suddenly: "Have you told Auntie about our flea market?"

Bai Luochuan asked, "What's wrong?"

Mi Yang said: "Actually, it's okay, I just think it's a little strange. Today the principal suddenly came to our class to praise him."

Bai Luochuan raised the corner of his mouth, as if waiting for praise.

Mi Yang looked at him and said, "What did you do?"

Young Master Bai raised his chin and said, "I learned from you."

Mi Yang was puzzled and said, "Huh?"

Bai Luochuan glanced at him, and said with a little pride: "Didn't you submit an article for the newspaper to be praised by the newspaper? I just learned to write a copy, and then took the newspaper and sent it to the principal's mailbox. He read it I will definitely come to praise you."

Mi Yang was overjoyed at once, and raised his thumb to give Young Master Bai a thumbs-up. This person is awesome, so he demonstrated it, and immediately learned the importance of mastering public opinion. He is in charge of outside the school, and Young Master Bai is in charge of the school. , The control and evaluation are very in place.

Probably because of embarrassment in the class meeting, Teacher Wang didn't care about Mi Yang for a long time, and didn't let him answer the questions in math class, completely marginalized.

This basically has no effect on Mi Yang, not to mention that he can answer questions with his eyes closed, even if he really needs to make up lessons, he will still be tutored by Wei Xian's famous teacher when he goes back at night.Because there is no longer roll call, Mi Yang has lived a peaceful life. When the final exam is due, Mi Yang is No.1 again without any surprise.

After handing out the final report card, Teacher Wang talked about some things that need to be paid attention to during the winter vacation, and then said to everyone: "Students who need to go to the cram school during the winter vacation should go to the monitor to sign up. It is not mandatory. But you should know, When you were playing for a winter vacation, the other students were still working hard, so you can't relax even after the vacation, you know?"

Everyone agreed, and she announced that get out of class was over, and then she could go home after waiting for the winter vacation homework to be distributed.

When Mi Yang got the homework for the winter vacation, he saw the class leader taking a notebook to register his name. The little class leader who usually rushes to the first place in everything, hesitated not to be the first to write his name this time.

Mi Yang was at the same table with her, and he was surprised when he saw it: "Aren't you going to cram school?"

The squad leader curled his lips and said, "I don't want to go to Teacher Wang's house, I don't like her now."

Mi Yang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Do you make up the lessons at the teacher's house?"

The small squad leader scratched the notebook twice with a pen, and said in a muffled voice: "Yeah, oh, you didn't know it when you first came here. Every winter and summer vacation, you go to the tutoring class at Mr. Wang's house. It costs 200 yuan for ten days. .”

Mi Yang clicked his tongue. The 95 yuan in 200 was not a small amount. Cheng Qing had just raised his salary recently. One month plus the subsidy for night shifts was only about 400 yuan. Teacher Wang took half a month for ten days of tutoring. salary, and it is not a separate tutoring, it sounds like there should be many children at one time.

Several students came over to sign up one after another, including Sun Gan, who looked reluctant.

While writing his name, the class leader asked, "Mi Yang, why don't you go? You did so well in the exam, and you can get full marks in the basic exam after you come back without tutoring..."

Mi Yang didn't understand, so he wanted to ask, but Tang Xiao, who came from behind, hooked his neck and said to him: "Mrs. Wang gave them a small stove for a week, and when I came back from school, what are the exams? The questions I talked about the other day, it’s okay if you go there, you can always improve your score, if you don’t go to the cram school and you don’t do well in the exam, you can wait to be criticized.”

Mi Yang had never encountered such a thing in the school he studied in before, and this is the first time he heard that the only thing he spent money in school was to be sent to the Children’s Palace to learn a specialty. This kind of compulsory supplementary lessons made him feel very uncomfortable .

Tang Xiao looked down at his old military satchel, hooked his fingers and said, "Why do you keep using this?"

Mi Yang said: "I like it, this is the prize my dad won in the basketball game, and his name is printed on it."

Curious, Tang Xiao asked him to open it and take a look. He saw the pink and white words printed inside, and he was a little awed: "I also want to join the army in the future, carry a gun, wear leather shoes, and look handsome."

Mi Yang was overjoyed, and said: "Ambition is lofty, little comrades, come on!"

Tang Xiao smiled and hooked his neck again, talking to him: "You and Bai Luochuan are also going to be admitted to the military academy?"

Mi Yang said: "I don't want to." He was a little short-sighted in his previous life. He didn't join the army. He went to an ordinary university and found a job to make ends meet after graduation. His only hobby was his little manual work of repairing books. .As for Bai Luochuan, Mi Yang thought about it, and in his memory, Young Master Bai didn't seem to join the army, but took over the family business, and his life was prosperous, and his photos were often seen in financial magazines.

Just as Mi Yang was thinking, Bai Luochuan came. Their winter vacation homework was delivered quickly, so they came to pick up Mi Yang in advance, walked over and pushed Tang Xiao away, stretched out his hand to hold Mi Yang's hand, and said, "Have you packed it? home?"

Mi Yang said: "One Chinese homework is still missing...Okay, let's go."

Tang Xiao waved goodbye to them and shouted, "Come out to play football during the winter vacation. Do you remember my phone number?"

Mi Yang nodded, and before he could reply, he was dragged a few steps by Young Master Bai. He asked strangely, "Why are you in such a hurry today? What's the matter at home?"

After a while, Bai Luochuan said, "Grandpa Wei is leaving today."

It was only then that Mi Yang remembered that Mr. Wei Xian had told them a few days ago that he would go back to Shanghai during the winter vacation. His children might come back to visit him. If they didn’t come, they might go abroad to reunite with them during the Spring Festival.It will take at least two or three months before we can see each other again.Mi Yang suddenly felt a little bit reluctant. They had studied with Wei Xian for more than half a year and got along very well.

In the evening, Mi Yang went to Bai's house, and said goodbye to Wei Xian with Bai Luochuan. Bai Luochuan usually didn't get close to others, but when the teacher left, he could still see a bit of disappointment. give up.

Wei Xian gave each of them a small box, and said: "The school has already assigned homework for the winter vacation, so I won't ask for more. After you finish writing, you can take a good rest and go out to play. Oh, by the way, little boy, just keep an eye on Dian Luo Chuan, don’t let him go to play on the ice, later grandpa will take you to the skating rink and ski resort, where the ice is so hard that you can step on it.”

Mi Yang nodded and agreed.

Bai Luochuan looked not very interested and didn't answer much.

After Wei Xian left, he fiddled with the small box twice, opened it and took a look, it was a small golden bean strung on a red string.

Mi Yang deliberately teased him: "You must have cried last time, and Grandpa Wei saw it, so I gave you this."

Bai Luochuan took his one, opened it, and saw that it was exactly the same little golden bean. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, then you must have cried in a nightmare last time, so Grandpa Wei saw it and gave it to you... ..."

Mi Yang was a little embarrassed. He had cried so many times since he was a child, but it happened that Bai Luochuan could bump into him. He only remembered crying, but he couldn't remember what he dreamed of. He had to wait for a while after waking up several times. To calm down.Young Master Bai never teased him about this before, but when he mentioned it suddenly this time, Mi Yang wanted to close the lid, but Bai Luochuan grabbed the little golden bean first and put it on his wrist first, and then gave his own one to Mi Yang. Yang put it on and said: "Give it to you, you cry a lot more than me."

Mi Yang refused to accept and wanted to resist, but was suppressed by the little thugs who were two months older than him, and he was powerless to fight back.

Mi Yang's face was flushed, he was still thumping when he was pressed on the bed, and panting, he took out his trump card: "Let go, I, I want to go home!"

Bai Luochuan pretended not to hear, and stretched out his hand to scratch Mi Yang's itchy flesh. Mi Yang burst into laughter in a second, and at first he shouted to go home. After a while, his stomach hurt from laughing, so he begged for mercy. : "No more, no more!"

Only then did Young Master Bai let him go, and a smile appeared on his face, and he seemed to be in a much better mood than before.

Mi Yang spent a few comfortable days at home during the winter vacation, and immediately received a call for help.

The call was from Xiaopang. He asked someone for the landline number of Mi Yang’s house. After calling several times, he found Mi Yang. He begged on the phone: “Mi Yang, help me! I can’t answer a question today. If you don’t learn it, you will be beaten.”

Mi Yang asked him: "Aren't you making up lessons with Teacher Wang? She doesn't teach you?"

Xiaopang said: "She taught it, but I just can't understand. She said that if she writes wrong again tomorrow, she will call my parents! My father is really hard to beat, help me, Yangyang!"

Mi Yang said, "Where's Tang Xiao?"

Xiaopang cried and said: "Brother Xiao taught me all morning, saying that I can't carve rotten wood, so I ran away in anger."

Mi Yang was overjoyed, nodded and said: "Then you come, do you know my address? I'm at home today."

Xiaopang hung up the phone thankfully, and within half an hour, even someone with a schoolbag came over. He put the bicycle in the yard of Mi Yang's house, went in and drank a large glass of water before he was able to catch his breath. .

The heating in Mi Yang's house is not very hot, and besides the sweater, he was wrapped in a thick velvet coat, his hair is soft, his face is also pink and soft, and there is a shallow dimple on the right side when he smiles, he is more beautiful than in school Appears small.He poured Xiaopang another glass of water and said, "Why did you come in such a hurry, drink it slowly."

Xiaopang shook his head and said, "It can't be slow, my father will kill me if I slow down."

He was very anxious, so Mi Yang asked him to bring out the books and calculation books and teach him seriously.

This question is not difficult, but Xiaopang's foundation is not good, and he is sweating profusely, but he just can't understand it.

"Area of ​​a triangle = base × height ÷ 2, that is, S = ah ÷ 2," Mi Yang glanced at him, saw his eyes fluttering again, and suddenly understood, "Have you memorized the formula?"

Xiaopang shook his head guiltily, and Mi Yang took a piece of paper and taught him to recite the formula from the beginning, telling him the meaning of each symbol tirelessly, and waited for him to repeat it before explaining the next one.

In an afternoon, I looked at a problem, but actually made up a lot of basic knowledge that I usually left behind.

Mi Yang made a modification of this topic, and when Xiaopang asked Xiaopang to write it again, he finished it without any difficulty this time. Mi Yang nodded and said: "That's right."

Xiaopang was very excited, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mi Yang! I think your teaching is very good... even better than Mrs. Wang's teaching, I understand everything!"

Mi Yang laughed and said, "Practice twice tonight, don't be nervous, you will be able to get the test right tomorrow."

Xiaopang thanked him repeatedly, seeing that the time was almost up, he quickly packed up his things and left: "I will go to Mrs. Wang's house in a while, she has guests at home today, let us go there at night, don't worry, I will not I'm ashamed of you, I've memorized this question fluently, and I can definitely get it right!"

Mi Yang said: "Go so late, be careful on the way."

Fatty let out a "hey" and almost bumped into someone when he was pushing his bicycle out. He took a steady look and saw that it was Bai Luochuan. Son."

Bai Luochuan watched him ride away in a hurry, turned around and said, "He came to look for you? What's the matter?"

Mi Yang shrank his neck and walked home, he said with a sigh of relief: "Come to me and ask a question, I taught him for a while, why are you here, didn't Aunt Luo say that someone is coming at home today?"

Bai Luochuan said: "My cousin sent a new computer, saying that it can be used to get online by lottery, but it took a long time to fix it, but I didn't get it right. I felt bored, so I came to you."

Mi Yang let out a sigh. I really miss the world with the Internet. Computers nowadays are all big phones, especially bulky ones.

The hospital gets busier as the Chinese New Year approaches. Cheng Qing is on the night shift again today, and Yone Zehai is on vacation, but he is worried about his wife, especially after seeing the weather forecast saying that it will snow heavily, so he took thick clothes and said that he would go again. I gave a coat as a gift, but I didn't bring it back, so I probably stayed with him in the hospital.This couple has always been like this, as if no one can do without the other, Mi Yang is used to it.

The adults in the family were not there, and Mi Yang looked after the house alone. Seeing that he couldn't kidnap anyone back, Bai Luochuan cheated and stayed.

Mi Yang is afraid of the cold in winter, and the quilt is thick and soft. When he huddles in it, he looks like a little hamster. The tip of his nose is slightly red, and after a small sneeze, he shrinks in again. The group goes in.

Bai Luochuan lifted off the quilt and crawled into Mi Yang's side, feeling very warm and comfortable.

Mi Yang shivered a bit, stretched out his hand and pushed him: "It's too cold, you go over there to warm up before coming back."

Bai Luochuan rubbed his hands vigorously twice, pinching his ears to warm him up: "It's hot."

Mi Yang: "..."

Simply deceiving yourself and others!

Mi Yang began to warm him tremblingly, but fortunately, Young Master Bai has been in excellent health since he was a child, and after a while he started to heat up by himself, just like a small heater.Only then did Mi Yang relax his body, he was not so stiff, and moved closer to keep warm.

Bai Luochuan is used to being intimate with him. He has always carried Mi Yang with him since he was a child. It is like his favorite toy, or a part of himself. Familiar ones cannot be separated. Rest assured, soon fell asleep.

Mi Yang fell asleep for a while, and sneezed two more times. Bai Luochuan closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to pat him, as if to comfort him. Temperature, said vaguely: "Not hot."

That being said, when he was having breakfast the next day, Bai Luochuan went back and brought some potions, all of which were honeysuckle shock and isatidis granules, and asked Mi Yang to stay and drink some.

Mi Yang was still wrapped in a fluffy ball, and nodded in agreement.

But at noon, a few more children knocked on the door. This time it was Xiaopang who was the leader of the team, followed by familiar faces from Class [-], Grade [-].

Xiaopang was a little embarrassed and said: "Mi Yang, I solved a problem this morning according to what you said. Everyone can't, but I can, but I can't explain..."

Mi Yang nodded, let them in, and said, "Let me tell everyone."

Standing aside, Bai Luochuan was a little unhappy. He listened to Mi Yang sitting there lecturing, frowned and looked at it for a while, then heard Mi Yang cough, and immediately said: "Let me talk, you go and drink your medicine."

Mi Yang said: "It's okay, it will be fine soon."

Bai Luochuan stood there silently, and when Mi Yang finished talking about getting up to drink water, he sat down in Mi Yang's place, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let me explain the next question."

Xiaopang looked at him in confusion, scratched his head, and said, "This is a third-grade topic, Luo Chuan, do you know it?"

Bai Luochuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, I can do whatever Mi Yang can do. My teacher at home gave much more difficult questions than this, and I get full marks in every exam." He added, "Mi Yang is also Full marks."

The children around wowed and looked at him expectantly.

Young Master Bai unfolded a new exercise paper and said, "Now I'm starting to talk, so listen carefully."

When Mi Yang brought water for everyone, he saw a group of little radish heads studying hard in the living room. Bai Luochuan sat on the main seat with his sleeves rolled up, frowning in a very serious manner. The children next to him were probably Shocked by his sudden sternness, no one was distracted, and they all listened and wrote carefully.

Mi Yang put the water on the cabinet outside, stood at the door and looked at it with interest for a while, and he was amused first.
