Chapter 9: Cloud Shadow in January 1993

Cloud Shadow in January 1993

For fifteen days, two catties of mung beans, not even a single bean that was full after absorbing water showed signs of germination.

In fact, many of them have begun to spoil, rot, and give off an unpleasant stench.

I poured all the stinky beans into the cesspool, filled them with ash, boiled the beans that had not smelt in one pot, and then ate them all with some white sugar.

tasty.

There is no Chinese New Year or Spring Festival in this world, which makes the bitter winter less colorful. Perhaps for them, offering sacrifices to the gods is already a great festival.

The snow didn't stop until half a month passed. The thick snow had already exceeded two meters. I tried to climb up to the top of the snow layer by chiseling "stairs". The sky has become clear and blue.

The whole world is extremely empty, covered in silver.

I was stunned, it was really beautiful, especially when the snow stopped and when the sun came out, the vast white hills, woods and ground all shone with strange light, like a fairy tale world, so simple and beautiful People suffocate.

But the coldest days were not over yet, and I only watched it for a few minutes before crawling back to the hut trembling and hiding.

The days that followed were still boring, but the snow was finally piled up. The villagers began to spend a short time every day digging for snow passages. More and more households were connected by the snow passages. Even my hut let the village The bored children dig through the tunnel to connect to the humble "network" in the village.

With the passage, it is much more convenient for the residents of the village to go out and visit. There are even children in the village who come to visit me, wanting to enter my small grass nest to "explore secrets".

"Lugar", the two children of the person who took me in, were my only guests. They chatted and described my hut as so magical. Even "Lugar" and his wife were interested and wanted to climb into mine Let's take a look at the nest, but the entrance to my nest is still too narrow for adults of his size and his wife's size to squeeze into the narrow aisle, so he can only give up.

Of course, it also has something to do with them not believing that my small grass nest will be warmer and more comfortable than his big house.

Adults will be interested, and children just want to come in and have a look. Unfortunately, although I treat them kindly, I refuse to accept them. I tell them that my nest is very small, and it is easy to collapse if too many people enter.

The children easily believed my excuse, because the stone walls of my hut looked even lower after cultivating with soil, and it felt like a small grave, completely different from the sturdy wooden house in their impression, and the hut collapsed this year. It happened once, so they were really worried that the hut would collapse, so they could only give up and stop pestering me.

The rabbit I threw in front of Luger's house was happily eaten by his family, and the rabbit skin was handed over to another villager to be carefully cooked, and in the future, I might add skins to the loose clothes of the little boy at home, Or get a cute fur hat for the little girl.

I have never stopped learning the local dialect. Now I can use stumbling words to greet them, chat about the atmosphere and everyone's mood, but the local dialect is too rough, and it is very vague when describing things. Going back and forth on those few words, to get used to the way they speak, I even had to think as simple and stupid as them before I could understand what they were saying.

There was no snow in the following days, but the cold wind was still there. I spent a lot of time hiding in my den. If it wasn't for the urgency in my heart that I would insist on exercising and learning the craft of making a living, I would really like to eat it. When you are full, you bury your head and sleep in, and live a relaxed and comfortable cat winter life.

A month has passed, and my hair has grown back. No one pushed me to go bald. I went to the barber shop and reluctantly paid three yuan to have my hair shaved.

I know it's weird to have that hairstyle in the opposite world for so long, but people over there are used to my short hair and don't think of me as a weirdo, which I'm grateful for.

In the real world, the school starts quickly after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It took me a long time to copy all the winter vacation homework, and I went to school satisfied and collected the remaining balance.

After receiving a sum of money, I became rich again. I originally thought that I could continue my business like last semester and carry it forward, but the head teacher called me into the office and kicked and beat me to make me realize the reality.

I was denounced, and everyone who had asked me to copy homework was denounced by the informant, and I, the "villain", had to bear all the anger of the head teacher.

I don't even know how I got home that day. The head teacher was so angry that she threw a book on my face and slapped a large piece of my face blue. It looked very scary. After that, her shouting became stern. When she got up, she also told me to call my parents, tell them what I did at school, and let my parents beat me to death.

I told her not to be angry, I was wrong, I will not copy homework for others in the future, and I will tell my family that I accidentally touched my face.

The head teacher was stunned.

Before the change, when I was beaten, I would only shrug my neck and cry, but today I didn't hide when she beat me.

"It's wrong to copy the homework. I took the money. If I was caught, I should accept the punishment, but you have already hit me, so this matter is settled." I looked her in the eye and told her.

I really didn't expect that I would have the courage to say such a rebellious thing.

The head teacher was stunned by me. She didn't even refute me, but pointed at the door of the office and yelled at me: "Get out, get out!"

"Teacher, see you tomorrow." Fly over and smash behind the door.

I have no extra money, but I still go to class with my head and hat on. I am not a naughty student. I finish my homework on time, and the teacher doesn't bother me. The new semester continues like this.

I seem to have adapted to the alternate life now, and I have become more cheerful than before. When I am in a good mood, I will take the initiative to chat with the classmates in the class between classes. Even if I have nothing to say, I can just listen to them. Relish.

Maybe copying the homework last year really helped me understand something. I didn't find it too difficult for the second volume of the second year of the first year of this year. After I reluctantly spent money to buy all the textbooks for the three courses, it was easy for me to complete the homework. Much more, I really learned a lot of new things.

It's a pity that I can't copy homework for others anymore, otherwise, with my current speed, I can conservatively calculate that I can copy six or seven people's homework every day without staying up late.

The meals at home have now been arranged by me. I get up an hour early every morning and go out for a morning run in the cold wind. After running, I brush my teeth, wash my face and wipe my body. Then I make breakfast for my parents and have breakfast with them. Go to school later.

I know it would be better if I took some time out to memorize the text, but I'm lazy and don't have the heart to memorize things that don't help me in my opinion.

I'm stronger now than before, still thin and small, and I haven't grown taller at all.

The wooden door of my house has a white road I drew with chalk. It was two months ago and I drew it on the top of my head leaning against the door. Two months have passed here, two months have passed on the other side, and four months have passed. I didn't grow taller at all.

I was so scared, I was so scared that I would never grow taller in my life, I thought that no matter what I did, I would grow to 1.63 meters like my dad, even if I eat better and exercise more, I can grow taller Point, maybe I will have the opportunity to break through 1.65 meters, or even 1.7 meters in this life...

It is not without reason for me to be so uneasy, because this semester starts, and it turns out that the same thin and small tablemate as me has grown taller, I am very envious. I feel that even if I don’t grow that much, I should have at least some changes, but I didn’t think I would change at all.

I stretched out my hand and looked at my own hands. I didn't do much physical work in the world over the winter. The original scars and calluses have faded, but they still don't look good. I really envy other people's long and beautiful fingers.

Ugh.

I want to grow taller.
