Childhood in the mirror

A month, a village.

The sky is clear and the air is fresh. The yard is quiet. Several flower hens and two red rooster are foraging in the sand outside the door. A black dog is lying at the gate taking a nap.

Outside the wall, there is a vegetable field with a well beside it. There is a wooden pulley on the well. The pulley is faded and worn, and the pulley is wrapped with thick rope, which is very tight.

Walking along the door, there is a farm yard with houses on three sides and a small flower pond in the middle of the yard. There are many flowers in the flower pond, and there are many bees and butterflies among the flowers.

On the wall, there is a mirror. There is a little boy standing in front of the mirror. The boy looked at the mirror with a book in his hand.

The boy's name is Iron Egg, and he has a brother named Iron Bull. Iron egg just turned six this year, and his brother is ten.

Mao Dan is Didan's little friend. He lives next door to Didan's house. They often fight bandits together, and Tie Niu often becomes a policeman. They play hide-and-seek together, catch wood together, eat grass together and swim together. ...

Iron eggs like staring blankly in the mirror. He often looks at himself in the mirror and makes faces with a smile.

The sun is a little hot at noon, and the iron egg is taking a nap on the kang. "Quack-quack, quack-quack, quack-quack ..." Flower hen just climbed out of the henhouse and ran to the yard to shout. Iron egg woke up. Iron egg closed the kang, picked a branch and drove the hen out of the gate. As soon as he came in from the door, the black dog began to bark. Iron egg went out and saw that it was the neighbor's sheep that entered the fence. The iron egg grabbed the branches and slapped the sheep on the ass to drive them away. Iron eggs climbed in from the kang hole and climbed out from the inside with warm eggs in their hands.

School will start tomorrow, Iron Egg will go to school, and the books that have been prepared are finally useful. Iron egg stood in front of the mirror fantasizing about the feeling of going to school and laughing from time to time.

In the morning, Iron Egg got up early, because he was going to school today. Iron Egg was very happy. Iron egg niang cooked two eggs for the iron egg and two eggs for the iron cow. Iron egg put the egg in the coat pocket, put the plaid bag on his back and go to school with his brother.

At school, many people, parents, teachers and students are confused. Iron cow reports to the first grade with iron eggs. The head teacher is a young female teacher, very beautiful, wearing a pink sweater, jeans and a pair of brown leather shoes. Oval face, long hair, ponytail, phoenix eye, arch eyebrows, double eyelids, cherry mouth, pierced ears but no earrings. Iron egg looked at the female teacher, silly, with a shallow smile on her mouth. Tiedan felt very comfortable in his heart, and the teacher in front of him also seemed very kind. The female teacher sat at the table, glanced at the Tiedan brothers and smiled. Tie Niu said hello to the teacher shyly. The female teacher began to ask how old Iron Egg was this year, and Iron Egg answered his name and age. When the two brothers came out of the female teacher's office, the sun had warmed the earth.

Iron egg later learned that the female teacher surnamed Bai is a city dweller and just graduated from college this year. Teacher Bai likes Iron Egg because he is smart, and Iron Egg also likes Teacher Bai because she is beautiful and kind.

Iron egg's grades have always been very good, and he is the first in every exam. His awards were plastered all over the wall. Although Tie Niu is not as clever as Tie Dan, he works hard and his grades have been in the middle.

Tie Dan likes to play games with his teacher, learn to sing together, and like the teacher holding hands to teach him to write. I like to fight bandits with Tie Niu and them and swim in the river together.

Tie Dan likes holidays as much as his brother, because holidays can be easy and interesting. They can go grazing together, pick up some branches and pile them together, then sneak into the farmland to dig some potatoes and get a clay pot stove to burn potatoes on the mountain. Their faces were blackened by wood ash, and they giggled, smeared each other and played with each other. Climb trees to pick wild fruits, pound bird's nest, and get into rivers to catch small fish, snails and frogs.

Smoke billowed, and at dusk, they came back with sheep and donkeys. After dinner, I began to play with wooden dolls, hide-and-seek, and fight dirt wars. Every time, my face is covered with dust, which makes me dirty. My ragged trousers show little ass, and my shoes show big feet.

Autumn has come, autumn has come, crops in the field are growing well, sunflowers keep turning around the sun with their heavy heads down, yellow corn stands upright in the wind, sorghum is ripe, sour pear trees climb up and down from time to time, leaves fall to the ground and dance in the wind, accompanied by autumn dance music. Wild ducks are chirping among the reeds by the river, and rabbits are running along the hillside.

Winter is coming, winter is coming, snowflakes are floating all over the sky, the trees are full of pear blossoms, and there are shallow animal footprints on the snow-white hillside, which has been around the hillside.

Spring Festival is coming, Spring Festival is coming, firecrackers are ringing, and loud voices resound through the whole village. There are couplets in front of every house, and there are pieces of paper in front of every house.

The spring breeze thawed, the cattle were plowed to the ground, the morning fog filled and the dark clouds dispersed. The sky is sunny, put on a red scarf, carry a flower bag on your back, and go to school together. Take part in self-study, do morning exercises, be active in class, and fight after class.

Standing in front of the mirror, I continued to look at myself. I'm not a pupil anymore. I am tall, with a red scarf around my waist. Aoe became ABC, often dealing with Newton and others. Learn to ride a bike, learn to escape, read novels in class and continue to play after class. Suddenly I feel that Chinese is boring and mathematics is profound. So, I began to go out early and return late. When I saw the female teacher again, I just smiled shyly, said hello, and then ran away.

One day, I came across something bad. When I looked in the mirror, I realized that the beard appeared in my mouth. I like watching enchanting girls of my age, and I began to have a hobby of holding hands with them.

When Tiedan was in the third grade, Tieniu stopped going to school and stole it from a group of people in the village. That year, there were fifteen iron eggs and nineteen iron cows. Tie Niu ran out for three months and went home, saying that he was working outside for others and his life was very good, which reassured his family. From then on, Iron Bull became the idol of Iron Egg.

Iron egg's life, without his brother's company, without his quarrel, with more thoughts.

Mao Dan often plays with Iron Egg. They become good friends, and the dog has a good relationship with them. The three of them often skip classes and run away together.

Zilan is a dog's sister. She doesn't get along well with dogs, but in order to get along with iron eggs, she often makes her brother score seven points. Therefore, the dog is very proud of Zilan.

Lan Zi and Tie Dan are in the same class, and Dog Zi and Mao Dan are in the same class. The four of them are in the same grade. Zilan's study is the first in the school, so is the dog, but he is the last.

Mao Dan had a first love named Asheng. They met in the summer vacation of grade three. A Sheng lives in the city and often goes to his grandmother's house on holidays. Mao Dan and A Sheng's grandmother are neighbors, so they met. Mao Dan often plays with Asheng, so he has a good impression on them.

The relationship between Iron Egg and Sheng is a bit like that between Iron Egg and Sheng. The dog always warns Iron Egg not to bully his sister. Iron egg and Mao Dan just giggled and kept silent. When the dog was in a hurry, he began to curse Iron Egg and Zilan, but he didn't swear.

The school is not far from the village, about ten miles away. They go to school together at school and go home together after school. On rainy days, iron eggs will carry orchids, dogs will pull hairy eggs, and sometimes dogs will carry their sisters, but that must be the result of iron eggs not carrying them and changing instant noodles. Hairy eggs can't be recited naturally. Even if it is useless to give iron eggs instant noodles with hairy eggs, it is impossible, not impossible, not impossible at all! In the iron egg's words, it is a delusion.

Lan Zi is often moved by iron eggs. Therefore, Tie Dan never worries about every homework, and the exam is the same, because with the guidance of a Jianghu expert like Lan Zi, he can cope with those tricks.

Hairy eggs and dogs will be miserable. They always fail in three of the five courses. They always stand outside the classroom for about twenty minutes in class. Slowly, the two of them simply chose to escape. As long as they are allowed to stand, they run out of the school gate, sleep in the grass behind the school and chat blindly. Their tricks are really clever. The teacher won't let them out of the classroom, but stand in the classroom, so at least they won't get wet and be seen by them.

The chemistry teacher is a disheveled guy, middle-aged, bald, bald like a flask, nearsighted, often wearing a pair of highly myopic eyes, standing in front of the lecture table in an S shape, often holding his hands on the lecture table and hanging a flask to read textbooks. In every experiment, he is full of energy, his eyes shine and his head shines, which makes his classmates laugh.

The English teacher is a young female teacher, not much older than Tie Dan and others, and at most she is 356,789 years old. He is not too ugly, and class will not be empty. Iron eggs often stare at female teachers, who dare not let iron eggs answer questions. The biggest headache is that every time after English class, Lanzi doesn't talk to Iron Egg. Lan Zi drew a clear line with him and prohibited iron eggs from infringing 0.0438+0mm ... In the words of Tie Dan, even ABC can produce hydrochloric acid. Didan later taught Mao Dan and the dog this trick. For a long time, the female teacher was flushed and quiet inside, so Mao Dan and the dog naturally sat back and relaxed.

Autumn has come and gone, and in a blink of an eye, the senior high school entrance examination is coming under the scorching sun. God was burned by the sun and tears rolled, and finally he couldn't help it. So on the day of the senior high school entrance examination, God's tears rolled in like the Yellow River that burst its banks. For three days in a row, the exam was over, and it was going to clear up. He didn't dare to cry any more.

The result is still in the dark, and this summer vacation has already begun. Clocks and watches keep walking like electronic watches, and days are like a village stream, long and thin.

? trio

The stream kept flowing, and finally it flowed into the river. The river is phosphorescent and layered. The cliffs on both sides are reflected in the water. The old cow by the river is still eating grass. Aries and clouds in the sky form two parallel planes. In the two-dimensional space, there are four figures squatting by the river, holding a long fishing rod in their hands and staring at the buoy on the water. They are waiting, waiting for the fish to bite.

Lan Zi is sitting next to the iron egg, playing with water, and Mao Dan is putting bait. This dog is a little far from the blue. He seems tired of this tail-like sister. Zilan was angry, handed the dog a cushion with disdain, and then continued to play with water.

The dog suggested going rabbit hunting together tomorrow, and the three reached an agreement through collegial discussion, but there was an additional condition that Zilan was not allowed to follow them. Lanzi looked at the iron egg with disappointment. Iron egg told her it was a long way and asked Lanzi to wait for them at home. Zilan had to agree. She only likes to listen to the iron egg, and she looks very obedient in front of the iron egg, just like a gentle little sheep.

In the morning, just as the sun rose, Iron Egg and the three of them set off with muskets on their backs, looking for their prey along the top of the mountain.

It's true that dogs are good marksmen. That's because the dog only fired one shot in his life and hit a female rabbit, so he became the commander-in-chief of the trio. Mao Dan is a skilled sharpshooter, but his shooting rate is not as good as that of a dog, because he often shoots, but he often can't shoot correctly. Iron eggs seldom use guns. He always thought that he was not a soldier, but relied on wisdom, so he didn't catch a hare, although he often tried his best to catch it.

A hare was driven out of the grass, and the dog raised his gun to shoot, but the musket got stuck. Mao Dan shoving a gun, only heard a gunshot, spread to the top of the mountain, the hare safe and sound, agley ran down the hillside. Iron egg is agile, abandoning the gun and chasing at a speed of 100 meters, but helpless. He watched the hare disappear between Shan Ye and Iron Egg and squatted on the ground panting. The dog cursed the musket for failing, and the hairy egg lamented that the marksmanship was not accurate.

The three men continued to look for guns, searching carefully in the grass like devils sweeping. Suddenly, the rabbit jumped up. Mao Dan was surprised, and his body fell back. The dog shot, but Mao Dan shot again, but still missed. The iron egg was shot, and the hare got up and continued to jump, landing 100 meters and struggling with his legs. Three people arrived, and the dead rabbit was ecstatic and put its prey in a hunting bag.

Mao Dan said happily and waited for the rabbit! So all three of them laughed.

At dusk, the hunter came back with a full load, and Zilan waited at the village entrance.

List the results, three rabbits, two pheasants and a wild duck. As a result, fire and water raged, and the prey was put into the pot to cook rabbits, roast chickens and roast ducks.

Dinner, a hearty dinner, wine and meat, invited old classmates, old friends, friends who grew up together, a group of men and women, gathered at the dinner table to chat, boiled wine and talked about heroes.

The musket is still warm, standing in the corner, emitting the fragrance of gunpowder. A group of young people sit together and guess wine and punch.

Zilan is very busy, trying to do a good job in service and logistics, and the flowers in the same village also come to help. The two girls are talking and laughing.

After drinking the wine, there are only iron eggs, dogs, hairy eggs, orchids and flowers left.

Zilan's parents went to grandma's house, so five people stayed up all night together.

Mao Dan was a little drunk, sitting in the chair and talking nonsense: all the people were looking for her, but suddenly looking back, the man was in the dim light. Huahua wiped Mao Dan's hands and face. Mao Dan grasped Huahua's hand tightly and said something: I am haggard for Iraq and my belt is getting wider. I don't regret it.

The dog is fast asleep, and Iron Egg and Zilan are lying on the kang chatting.

At four o'clock in the morning, Mao Dan regained consciousness, looked at the flowers sleeping beside her and covered her with a quilt. Titan held Zilan and slept between the dog and the hairy egg.

The cock began to crow, and it was already dawn. Rhubarb dog, the dog family, broke free from the chain and squatted at the gate. Five young people are still sleeping. Maybe they are really tired of playing.

The sun has shone into the house, and Zilan got up and began to cook breakfast. In the yard, hens are cooing for food. The dog stretched himself and went back to sleep. Tiedan and Mao Dan opened their eyes and looked at the roof. Huahua is getting up and freshening up.

There is a movie in the village. Iron egg and dog go to the movies together. The film was shown in the open air, on the big field in front of the stage in the village. Young people from the village across the mountain also came to the movies. There is a sea of people there. Zilan was crowded in the crowd, and Tiedan tried to protect Zilan with his chest. Hairy eggs and flowers stand next to iron eggs. I don't know where the dog went, but he probably went to chat with the girl in the village across the mountain. Next to Tiedan and Zilan, there are a group of other villagers, laughing and quarreling, and girls screaming from time to time.

The dog stood on the edge of the crowd, holding her old lover Ye Zi in her arms and chatting with her in a low voice. Suddenly, a young man walked up to the dog, took a look at the dog and left. After a while, three boys came up to the dog and called it out, saying it was teasing the leaves. One of them claimed to be Ye Zi's son-in-law. The dog asked the leaves, and the leaves shook their heads. The dog was pulled out, and then the man who claimed to be Ye Zi's son-in-law slapped the dog and punched it. The leaves ran away and explained the situation after finding the iron egg. Iron egg asked Zilan to wait for them in front, so he called several partners in the same village to run to find the dog. When Tiedan and the others arrived, the dog stood among the three people, burying his face, and the three people pushed the dog. Iron eggs surrounded the three men and refused to leave. When the dog saw the arrival of reinforcements, it became so powerful that it punched three people in the face and then punched and kicked the man who claimed to be Ye Zi's son-in-law to avenge another person. Others rushed in and beat the other two until the three men apologized loudly. After fighting dogs, he learned that the name of the man who claimed to be Ye Zi's son-in-law was Zhuangzi. To apologize, Zhuangzi promised to buy Iron Egg and each of them a pack of cigarettes.

The dog came home to look in the mirror, his eyes were swollen, he had several scars on his body, and his teeth chattered with hate. Zilan scratched her brother, and Ye Zi sat next to him with his head down. Huahua helps Zilan, while Iron Egg and Mao Dan smoke cigarettes bought by Zhuangzi.

The dog is going to be a soldier. On the day he left, Iron Egg and Mao Dan went to see him off. The dog cried. He said he would miss iron eggs and dogs. Mao Dan stopped going to school and went to work. Tiedan continued to go to school, Zilan and Tiedan separated, Zillankao went to a technical secondary school and started her city life.

Seeing the dog again, he was wearing olive green. Although he is a little black and thin, he is very energetic. The puppy came back from demobilization. She and Iron Egg went to the restaurant for a big meal, and Zilan also went. After dinner that day, Zilan held the iron egg and cried all the time, saying that she missed it very much and would stay with it forever after graduation. Iron egg hugged Zilan tightly and said he would wait for Zilan to come back.

With snow in the cold wind, the street lights are dim, Zilan snuggles in Iron Egg's arms and doesn't want to leave, and Iron Egg's arm doesn't want to let go. The dog said he had something to do and left, but that was just an excuse. He wants to give his sister and Iron Egg a chance to be together.

After Mao Dan left, they finally got together when they came home during the Spring Festival. In the Spring Festival that year, the dog got married and the bride was not a leaf.
