A small river winds its way across the plain. Hedong is my village and Hexi is my primary school. For six years, I shuttled between Hedong and Hexi, where I spent all my childhood and adolescence.
Hexi to Hedong
It only takes ten minutes to walk from Hedong to Hexi. Get up at dawn every day, eat at random, cross villages and fields and cross bridges. There is a river under the bridge. The river is clear and you can see fish swimming below. The river is full of algae, and the river is full of wild flowers, with names but no names. After crossing the small bridge to Hexi, and then passing a big jujube tree, you will see my school building with blue bricks and gray tiles. The dates on the jujube tree were picked clean by our boys before they were ripe. In this regard, the principal Wang Zhili said that we are helping monkeys.
When I walk into school, my favorite thing to do is to ring the bell. Because our school used to be a temple, the monks in the temple didn't know where they went, so they left these houses and this clock. The clock is not big, but once it rings, its voice is clear and resounds on the plain. There is a line engraved on the clock: made in the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong. At this time, everyone knows that I am an urchin who came to school for the first time, so President Wang Zhizhi scolded me many times.
But one day, our clock disappeared.
I didn't punch in that morning, and I wasn't scolded by Wang Zhizhi. I feel sick all over. On that day, the whole school was listless. On that day, everyone in Hedong Hexi knew that our big clock was lost.
After school in the evening, we walked all the way across the Hexi Bridge, but we saw our clock at the acquisition point of Wanglaopao in Hedong, because I bumped into it every day, and there was no doubt that there was that line. We immediately said that Wang Laopao had stolen our clock. Wang Laopao patted his greasy coat and shook his head. "Nonsense! I bought this! " "Who sold it?" "Well, I'll keep it a secret from the seller!" It's no use arguing, so we must make a plan.
The plan is to find our anchor, President Wang Zhili, because as long as he comes forward, there will be no problem in this village. So we trotted all the way to Wangzhuang. On the way, we saw President Wang Zhizhi riding his resounding "Old Forever" and humming Mu's music. We called out to President Wang, but he didn't seem to hear us. I hurriedly blurted out: "Wang Zhizhi!" Who knows that Wang Zhili braked and turned around with a serious face. "What did you call me? How dare you call me by my first name? "
I said to myself, swearing is really useful.
"Principal, we have found our big clock!"
"Where is it?"
"Wang Laopao acquisition point!"
"Let's go and get our big clock Tudor back!"
After that, as soon as we rode the dust, we chased after it, and the smoke was rolling, which made us feel like fighting on the battlefield.
Wang Laopao, watching the smoke billowing, may know that it is not good. After all, he belongs to his family and a village. So he put the bold cross back for a while, his shoulders collapsed, his facial expressions began to come alive, his wrinkles were full of smiles, and his gray clothes suddenly became humble. Later, Wang Laopao recalled, "After all, I was dealing with intellectuals. Wouldn't it be a shame to be gentle if I was at the right mass? "
So the ending is naturally happy. Wang Zhizhi symbolically gave Wang Laopao some compensation, found the young man who stole Ling Duo and educated him well. This is quite different from what I expected. At least I have to be nervous, punch and kick, but not bloody. I always want to fly, although we both have a lot of meat, and it looks good to fly. However, I didn't expect such a strong start, but there was a happy ending. This is a lesson that Wang Zhizhi taught us. A gentleman values peace.
Hedong to Hexi
In Hedong, the most pleasant person I get along with is Sir Zhong.
Sir Zhong was my childhood friend when I was herding sheep.
Whose childhood was not fun?
So when I was naughty, Sir Zhong helped me look after the sheep.
When I come back, I will bring some collected wild fruits or some wild vegetables to express my gratitude.
At this time, Mr. Zhong always feels his bald head happily. "Grandpa, your conscience has been discovered!" "
My father and I laughed heartily, and our voices echoed on the North China Plain.
Sir Zhong has six daughters, all of whom are married.
My wife left early, leaving him to live alone.
Mr. Zhong's dark skin may be due to long-term exposure to the hot sun and heavy rain. He is short and thin.
Sir Zhong can't walk in our village for the rest of his life, but he always says, "When I was young, I traveled all over the country and never saw anything! Don't ask, from Hedong to Hexi, who doesn't know my master! " When you speak, you shine as brightly as during the day.
Mr. Zhong is nosy and always says a few words when he is wronged.
Summer is the season when watermelons are on the market. Every village in Shiliba Village has the voice of selling melons. It is common to buy melons with cash or exchange wheat for melons.
A melon vendor's tricycle got stuck in the mud and couldn't be pulled up. It happened that two strong men in our village, Wang San and Liu Du, passed by. They like to work together, drink together and eat meat together.
The melon vendor called them and they helped push them without saying anything.
After pushing, the melon seller gave each of them a big watermelon.
They insisted that they wanted two watermelons.
The melon seller said that a cart of melons could not earn a few dollars, and begged them to be lenient.
Wang Sanhe Liu Du smiled at one another. All right, we'll push you back into the mud.
Just then, I heard a loud cry, "whose son of a bitch is this?" Eating one more watermelon is not afraid of bursting the intestines or ruining the kindness and simplicity of people by the river. It's a fucking shame to push a car to bargain. Get out before you get old! " The speaker is Sir Zhong, wearing a hat and holding a sheep whip. I am brave in the back. As a result, the two men were so scared that they immediately put down the watermelon and said, "Sir Zhong, we are joking, just joking and not eating."
Sir Zhong was chivalrous and soft-hearted, and turned to drive the sheep back to the village.
Sir Zhong said, "Do you think they are afraid of me? What they care about is their faces. " .
Sir Zhong took the sheep into the village, and dusk arrived. ?
Sir Zhong said that his favorite meat is rabbit meat, but there are fewer and fewer wild rabbits. He used to go hunting with a shotgun.
One summer vacation, I was weeding in the orchard in Hedong, and suddenly a hare jumped out. I chased it all the way, knowing that Mr. Zhong liked it. I chased other people's gardens, and I rushed in, but I left footprints, which were seen by many people when I came out
The next day, I became a fruit thief. I can't argue. It happened that I caught a cold and threw up. Others said it was because of pesticide poisoning, which further confirmed the fact that I stole fruit. Everywhere I go, people talk about me. I will defend myself, and others will say the same. ?
In this way, from Hedong to Hexi, from Hexi to Hedong, I was pointed at and poked at the point. Since then, Gua Tian has never lived a carefree life. No one will believe the story of a teenager. People are more willing to believe the stories in people's mouths and imagine me as a teenager stealing fruit.
Only sir zhong protected me, and one day everyone was talking about it again. He looked at me with a whip and said, "Your mouth is on all beings. Let them talk, as long as you know what you have done. Shit! I like to describe the trivial matter of sesame and mung beans as a heinous crime. There are so many heinous animals in the Jianghu that you can't see them, but you bully a child! Pat your heart and you'll be clean? What's more, in order to chase a rabbit, the child happens to be unwell, so you are so cruel and have no virtue! "
After Mr. Zhong finished, he took me to herd sheep.
Since then, no one has said anything from Hedong to Hexi.
Later, Sir Zhong left.
I was already a little boy when he left. He called me to the bedside and told me that happiness is the most important thing, so leave him alone. I'll go first, and you take good care of the sheep.
When he came to his senses, I began to cry. Only I know the kindness in this old shepherd's heart, and only this old shepherd knows the bitterness in my heart.
Warm-hearted, optimistic, bold and chivalrous, this is my second master, who has brought me a moon-like brilliance in my slightly gloomy primary school life and has been following my present life.
Hedong and Hexi
My childhood is over when Mr. Zhong is gone. From then on, I left home 30 miles to go to junior high school. Later, he left home fifty miles to go to high school. Then I left home 1500 miles to go to college. Time flies, I went out to be a youth and returned to China. Fame and fortune, I wrote a book for my career. Lonely articles, our capital is full of nosy people. Always be a real celebrity and don't need to be praised by others. ? I have let go of what happened in Hedong Hexi. I am kind-hearted, and I cultivate my mind with Buddhism. However, I still have doubts about human nature. ?
