Zhao Mo Xiu Mo

Waking up early in the morning, Zhao Mo quickly folded the quilt and climbed down the kang lightly.

It was just dawn outside, and the sun had not risen yet.The air in the morning is very fresh, especially in a small mountain town like County C, standing outside in the morning and taking a deep breath can keep your mind clear for most of the day.

Zhao Mo walked out of the house, opened the front door, and a fresh air came over his face.On the street outside, early risers were already busy, and soy milk and fried dough sticks were also displayed outside a shed at the corner of the street.

The door of the fat aunt's house next door has not been opened yet, Zhao Mo glanced at it, and then went to check his pancake and fruit cart.The car was the same as last night, and the nest hadn't even been moved.

After reading it, he stretched his waist and flexed his muscles and bones.Back in the house, I was busy for a while, scrubbing the dishes and chopsticks used last night, washing Sanwa's dirty bib and her own towel and drying them, seeing that there was less than half a tank of water left in the water tank, and turning on the switch to pump water.The well in the backyard of their house is an old well, and the water pipes and pumps were installed when Zhao Jianquan was alive, which saved a lot of trouble.

After finishing the work, Zhao Mo put water in the hut in the corner of the backyard, and glanced at a pile of empty bottles in the southeast corner out of the corner of his eye.He usually picks up empty mineral water bottles, beverage bottles and the like on the way back from selling pancakes and fruits, but now he has saved them up again, and will sell them to Xitou collectors in a few days.

I heard that the county is going to expand, and many places are being demolished and rebuilt, and high-rise buildings are to be built.It is also necessary to install traffic lights at street corners, and install trash cans on both sides of the main street, so that empty bottles will not be so easy to pick up.

All the messy things rolled in his head, and Zhao Mo's major life issues were resolved.He pulled his big pants, shook his hands and went back to the house to cook.

Their breakfast is very simple, half a catty of vermicelli and an egg, it is a hot meal.When Zhao Mo was carrying firewood from the backyard, he was thinking in his heart that he would buy a new gas stove someday when he was free. The original one at home broke down and he sold it to the junk collector.The fat aunt always said that burning gas for cooking saves trouble and money, but no one can afford it if they always burn firewood.

After the noodles came out of the pot, Zhao Mo filled a bowl for himself, then filled another bowl, and put the eggs in the bowl.At this time, Zhao Jun came out of the house, wiped his face with a towel and said, "Brother, Sanwa is peeing on the mattress again."

"Hey, I didn't pee just now!" Zhao Mo shook his head, and handed the bowl in his hand to Zhao Jun, "Eat first, bro, go take care of Sanba."

Zhao Jun put down the towel, took the bowl and saw the eggs on the noodles at a glance, which looked even more attractive with the green onion and coriander.Looking at another bowl of noodles in clear soup without green onion on the stove, he pursed his lips, and his eyebrows were wrinkled into a small pimple.

In the room, Zhao Mo was putting on pants for the third baby who was peeing on the kang.A circle was drawn on the small mattress underneath, and even the quilt was wet.Sanwa quietly let Zhao Mo manipulate her, with her big dull eyes open, her eyes were completely out of focus.

Pulling out the small quilt and quilt and piled it on the edge of the kang, Zhao Mo took the third child with one hand, moved to the end of the kang, and pulled out a clean little quilt from the quilt.Then he took Sanba back to the top of the kang, spread out the mattress, pushed him down, and lay down: "Lie down and sleep again, brother will come back at noon to buy candy for you."

Sanwa put her hands on both sides of her body, her head didn't move, and she didn't close her eyes or make a sound when she heard Zhao Mo's words.After Zhao Mo pulled out a clean quilt and put it on his stomach, he immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep within a minute.

Seeing that Sanwa fell asleep, Zhao Mo got off the kang, carried the wet quilt and quilt to the backyard to dry.

Zhao Jun's voice came from the front: "Brother, I'm going to school."

"Well, walk slowly on the road, be careful of the car!" Zhao Mo responded in the backyard.

Zhao Mo returned to the stove, the noodle bowl on the stove was still a little hot.In the bowl, an egg is lying quietly on the noodles.

"This kid!" Zhao Mo's heart was sweet and sour, and he finished pulling the noodles with red eyes, and finally took a bite of the egg.

By the time Zhao Mo made the gravy and chopped green onion and coriander, it was almost time.He went back into the room and took a change of towel from the cupboard and put on his apron.

The hour hand on the wall watch was between five and six, and the minute hand had moved more than halfway.

County No. 06 Middle School starts morning self-study at 30 o'clock, and students go there early and late, and the morning sales are crowded from [-]:[-] to [-] o'clock.It takes nearly an hour to go from Zhao Mo's house to the gate of No. [-] Middle School, and it's just in time to go out now.

Zhao Mo took all his things with him, and then closed the door behind him.The door of the fat aunt's house next door has also been opened, and the loud and loud voice of the fat aunt can be vaguely heard outside, as well as the man's deep voice.

"Second Aunt!" Zhao Mo patted the half-closed door.

Hu Guilan responded and walked out wiping her hands.Seeing Zhao Mo outside the door, she said, "Mozi, you left so early?"

"Well, it's getting late, and if you go later, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with the students' morning self-study." Zhao Mo pointed to the half-hidden door of his house, and said, "Sanwa is still sleeping inside, please help keep a close eye on him, don't let him run away Go play in the street."

"Come on, Sanwa is like that, where else can I go to play! I'm so stupid, I woke up and saw that you were not at home, so I squatted at the door of your house by myself, nothing happened!"

"Excuse me."

The fat aunt's words were not very pleasant, Zhao Mo could only smile when he heard it, and after a few words of politeness, he rode on his pancake fruit cart and drove towards the direction of the No. [-] Middle School.

It was quite cool at six or seven o'clock in the morning, but after nine o'clock, the heat came up and the sun began to become venomous.

Zhao Mo stood guard at the gate of No. [-] Middle School until after eight o'clock. Seeing that there were still a lot of berries and eggs left, he rode on a bicycle and turned to Yangqiao Community to continue selling.

The Yangqiao Community is a newly built garden community in the county in recent years. It is located in the Binhe Development Zone, and there are six or seven-story residential buildings inside, which can be regarded as the symbol of the new county.The area under the poplar tree where Zhao Mo's family lives belongs to the old county town, which is completely out of touch with the county's urban construction plan. In the past half a day, they can't sell half of the pancakes.

Zhao Mo's father, Zhao Jianquan, used to sell pancakes and fruits in the Yangqiao community, and some regular customers recognized Zhao Mo.At about ten o'clock, Zhao Mo sold five or six copies.After all, this area sells a lot of food, and he can't keep up with the time for breakfast and lunch. Pancakes and fruit are not easy to sell, so Zhao Mo is satisfied with selling so many.

A dark cloud floated from nowhere in the sky, covering the sun tightly.Zhao Mo looked up at the sky, and thought to himself that the clouds came so fast, they didn't look like they floated over from the mountain, but they seemed to gather suddenly.

He took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and checked the time, it was 27:[-].This old Nokia was still used by Zhao Jianquan during his lifetime, and it was only used for checking the time besides answering and making calls.The quality of the mobile phone is excellent, Zhao Mo used it carefully, and it hasn't broken even after two or three years.

Judging by the meaning of the sky, it is estimated that there will be a thunderstorm.Zhao Mo was both happy and worried, looking up at the sky in a daze.It should have rained a long time ago, and it was so hot recently that it made him feel uncomfortable.But if it really rained heavily, he was afraid that it would not be the right time. If it was just in time for No. [-] Middle School to finish school, it would be ruined at noon today.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Mo stuffed the phone back into his pocket and decided to go to the gate of No. [-] Middle School now.While it's cloudy and rainy, go and take up a good place first. If it's really going to rain, you can put it under any eaves to avoid the meeting.

While pedaling on the road, Zhao Mo began to think about his two younger brothers again.Junzi didn't bring an umbrella when he went out in the morning, and he didn't know if he could go home to cook at noon.Sanwa didn't see herself when she got up, so she would definitely squat at the door and stay there. If it rains, she won't be watered!

Thinking of this, Zhao Mo's heart pounded, and he began to hesitate whether to go home directly.
