Back to 11 years old

This year, He Lin is not having a good time. Lin Hong just passed away, and he is still in the filial piety. Even if the country doesn't take this matter very seriously, there are still many taboos, not to mention not being able to post Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures. It also tries to avoid going to other people's houses as much as possible.

Lin Cheng and Hu Feng asked He Lin to come to their house to celebrate the New Year, but He Lin finally refused. After all, they don't have the same surname. Lin Cheng is an uncle and a family member, but he came to disturb them during the Chinese New Year.On New Year's Eve, Hu Feng brought some dishes over, and He Lin himself stewed the big rooster in the chicken coop that crows loudly every day before dawn, that's all for a New Year's Eve dinner It's over.There was no TV set at home, and He Lin sat alone in the narrow kitchen, feeling a little desolate in his heart. He cleaned the dishes, listened to the sound of firecrackers outside, stared at the fluorescent lamp for a while, and finally turned over and got up. , and took out those few Olympiad materials and started to do it.

He Lin has been lonely for many years. It was like this in his previous life. Others have a place to go to during festivals, but he is almost like a lonely ghost. When he came back during the Chinese New Year, he originally thought that he was used to living alone, but it seemed that as he got younger, he also became more fragile.

He Lin hypnotized himself to forget that it was New Year's Eve, so he made a third of a practice material, until he heard the sparse sound of firecrackers becoming more dense, he raised his head in a daze, and looked at the With a small alarm clock on the table, He Lin suddenly realized that it was almost twelve o'clock.

He Lin had another nightmare that night. In the dream, he had almost forgotten Lin Hong and He Aiguo's face. Strange to say, Lin Hong still left a black and white portrait. There was not a single photo left, but He Lin clearly saw He Aiguo's face in his dream. When He Lin was in a daze, that face suddenly twisted, and it became the face of the car before he was hit by a car in his previous life. The ferocious face of the driver in the car.

He Lin woke up from the dream profusely in sweat. Looking outside, it was already dawn, and he couldn't sleep anymore. He didn't know if anyone would come to pay New Year's greetings today, but He Lin still got up and put the I took out a prepared plate, grabbed two handfuls of fruit candy and some peanuts and melon seeds in it, and after washing, I started to make a fire to make sweet jujube tea. This is the custom here, on the first day of the first lunar month , you have to use red dates or black dates and brown sugar to cook sweet soup. People who are more particular will put some longan and white fungus or something.

After daybreak, people began to move around outside one after another, and He Lin also opened the gate. As expected, except for some children who ran around the whole village and asked for candy for New Year greetings everywhere, almost no one would come to his side. I only bought two or three catties of candy, but in the end I gave out less than half of it.He Lin drank a bowl of sweet jujube tea indiscriminately, took a piece of fruit candy, peeled off the outer packaging and stuffed it into his mouth. The taste was very sweet, with the taste of inferior essence, and he felt tired after a while.However, He Lin savored the taste of this fruit candy carefully, as if he had some delicacy in his mouth.

He Lin didn't intend to go out, no one came to the door, and He Lin couldn't get up lazily, so he just sat back on the bed~ and flipped through the book, the light in the kitchen was rather poor, When He Lin was at home, the lights were usually turned on. Because of this, his eyes became short-sighted, which was no fun.

Throughout the first lunar month, He Lin stayed at home. In previous years, when Lin Hong was here, there were a few relatives in the He family who came to pay New Year's greetings, but now, there was no one. He Lin didn't remember where the other relatives lived. Who are there? Therefore, except for Hu Feng and the others who brought over two bowls of food from time to time, He Lin seemed to be isolated from the world, and had no intention of celebrating the New Year at all.Lin Feng originally wanted to go out to play with He Lin, but when he saw the large tomes on He Lin's desk, he flinched and retreated. He Lin was also happy and quiet, but he felt a little lonely in his heart.

He Lin took time out to visit the county seat when he was in the sixth day of junior high school, and checked the rent. He also asked Zheng Jun and his family to check if there were any other houses for sale nearby. He wanted to buy another set or two. , preferably from the No. 100 Middle School and the Central Junior High School.He Lin has already made up his mind to go to the county town for junior high school. The best junior high school in the county town is the county center junior high school. It is not very far from the No. [-] middle school, and it is only a little more than a kilometer to walk. He also promised that if the negotiation ends , Give them an intermediary fee of [-] yuan.Zheng Jun's family naturally agreed happily.

When school started on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, a bunch of students in the village were wailing to make up their homework, but He Lin was relieved that school had finally started!He has almost no expectations for the long vacation now, wishing to go to school and stay in the school all the time. People always live in groups. Being alone at home is fine for a short time, but after a long time, it will be difficult to adapt to it.

The first day of school is just a report. Now He Lin is free of tuition and miscellaneous fees. In the past, it was just a formality. After receiving the books, everyone can leave school. He Lin brought some sweets and pastries to visit Teacher Xiao’s dormitory. When He Lin brought something over, Teacher Xiao and his wife were happy, but they still complained a few words, saying that in He Lin's current situation, there will be more places to spend money in the future, and how can they be so extravagant.He Linti's past things are all good things these days. The candy is not fruit candy, but boxed peanut candy and sesame candy, and the pastry is also the kind of more delicate mung bean cake. New Year's greetings are also available, and He Lin bought this specially when he was in the county.

Teacher Xiao and his wife evaded it for a long time, but they still couldn't persuade He Lin's good intentions. That day, they insisted on keeping He Lin for dinner, and even went to the town to cut up two catties of meat and came back to entertain He Lin. He Lin was not polite either. , I don’t know what’s going on, on Teacher Xiao’s side, He Lin is more comfortable than at his uncle’s house, or in other words, Teacher Xiao and his wife’s attitudes are too natural, just treat He Lin as his nephew look at.But on Lin Cheng and Hu Feng's side, they couldn't control how they treated He Lin. Although they seemed close to each other, they seemed a little more polite and deliberate. In addition, He Lin couldn't really let go of the things in his previous life. Happy thinking, this is also a helpless thing.
