Chapter 20: September 94 sky light
September 94 sky light
In the nearly two months of summer vacation, I stayed at home most of the time. After I didn’t go to school, I didn’t have to pay attention to my image. After I came back from another world, I no longer went to shave my head, and I didn’t even look at the store at home. too lazy to wear it.
Most of the customers who come to my house to buy things are from our street. They know my approximate age, but they often make a fuss about me. Just stretch out your hands or show them the feet in slippers, and ask them which elementary school student has feet as big as mine.
There are really all kinds of people who come to buy things, and there are people who praise my beautiful feet and want to reach out and touch them.
I thought to myself, don't the older generation like that kind of small three-inch golden lotus wrapped around it? What's so beautiful about my big feet.
I remember the prices of goods in my house very firmly. After I came to the guests, I immediately dropped the half-read book in my hand to entertain them, so my mother told me that the business was better than usual during the time I was visiting the store, and I took it for granted.
I am very confident that even if I don't go to high school, I can take care of the canteen by opening a canteen at home. Besides, now I'm used to living in another world every month. The things that can't be sold in my commissary won't always be piled up. I'll take some food and drink directly to the other world to solve it. After drying, take it over and pack it in plastic bags. At that time, fresh produce was very popular.
Moreover, since I opened a canteen in my house, I can directly wholesale things like goat milk powder. In this world, there are milk sellers who deliver milk to our commissary every morning and evening. In another world, my milk does not stop. , Even the A Fu sister and brother, as well as the widow's son and daughter, were all drenched together, and they were all tall.
My parents are well aware that I am in charge of the canteen and "guarding the robbery", but they never ask me where the boxes of milk powder and ham sausage go at the end of each month. Don't ask too much. Anyway, I'm also one of the people in charge of the canteen. Sometimes they don't have time or are lazy, so I go to the wholesale department to buy goods instead of them.
The reason why I can dig into the corner of my own home to enrich my own pockets is because I don't care about the little money earned by the canteen, otherwise I wouldn't have discussed it with my parents half a year ago. The pesticides passed through Shimen, and surreptitiously applied chemical fertilizers and pesticides to the whole village's ginseng and potato fields on the opposite side.
My movement was not small, but Ah Fu and his sister gave me cover, and I mostly committed crimes at night. The villagers wondered why the ginseng potatoes were going crazy, but they couldn't find the reason.
The ginseng potatoes in the whole village are growing wildly, and even the bushes are growing more lush than in previous years, with more flowers and fruits, so the two fields where I am also growing wildly are not so conspicuous.
In the summer, the yellow lilac seeds are ripe again. On the one hand, I let the widow’s son and daughter pick the freshly ripe fruit with me so that I can go to another world to make jam and make extra money. On the other hand, I am also planning how to drag my family and leave the village in the autumn. Where to live after leaving the village.
A lot of people means a lot of power. Even if it's two children in their early 10s, with their help, I've saved countless troubles this year.
When I take apart the thatched roof, they can help me dry and replace it together. When I cook, they wash the ginseng and take care of the heat. When I work in the fields, they can not only help me, but also can be protected by Ah Fu. Picking some wild vegetables by the river to check the fishing cages and other things to improve the food, I am now relying on them more and more.
The most important thing is actually their changes. The widow's daughter and son are now stronger than before. They also changed their hygiene habits because they knew I like cleanliness. They wash their faces every day. If you are sweaty after finishing your work, you will go to the river to bring water and come back to wash your body. Every day, you will clean your mouth with salt with your fingers. After washing your hair and getting rid of fleas and bed bugs, you will look supple and beautiful, and your body will smell very good. Light, there is no strong and disgusting smell like before. Now even if we sleep next to each other, I will not despise them like before.
Half-year-old Ah Fu is still a naughty age. He often burrows into grass nests and rolls in mud pits. No matter how he reprimands him, he is pitiful at the time, but tomorrow he will definitely do the same. Also used to wash, sometimes we dare to jump and swim in the river when we are not paying attention.
Afu’s water is actually pretty good, but I’m still worried, because the river outside the village is so turbulent. Sometimes the river is wrapped in rocks the size of a human head and collides in the rapids, and the rocks along the way can be smashed. Dare to imagine what would happen if it was smashed, so no matter if Alfred wanted to try to catch fish in the water, I would definitely not allow it.
I took good care of the widow's son and daughter, and they looked the same as other children in the village. If their clothes were not too shabby and tattered, the children of good families in Luhe Village would not be as good-looking as them.
The widow's belly is already very big, and now she is struggling to do ordinary housework. I take care of her three meals. Although she is not lucky to enjoy things such as milk powder, biscuits and sausages, there are fish, wild vegetables and berries, and the nutrition is balanced. The combination of meat and vegetables is not a problem. The meals I provide are hundreds of times better than the pig soup and dog food that the widow's family eats. Her originally thin and mean face is now rounder, and it has a bit of radiance. Going for a walk in the village, and having a son and daughter to clean up the housework at home, she can be regarded as a leisurely life.
She can eat and live comfortably, and the widow's mood is more stable than before. At least recently, she rarely loses her temper and finds fault with others. I guess it has something to do with her understanding that her daughter and son have been completely bought by me.
There is no such thing as filial piety and ethics in this world, and the expressions of emotions are very simple. I have done so much for her son and daughter, and it is not without cost to take care of her now, and she herself is very clear.
In the middle of summer, everything is noisy, and being able to live in a peaceful village where you don’t have to worry about wild animals and enemy attacks is so leisurely that you can’t bear to leave. Unfortunately, this is destined to be the last summer I stay here. I crossed the stone gate and made jam overnight, thinking of the peace and tranquility of that village.
This year's new batch of jams are made better than last year, and the selling price is the same as last year, so the sales are even better than last year. Some people who bought jams last year immediately bought three or four bottles and went home after tasting them. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it after the season is over.
Strange to say, yellow lilac jam may not be as good as those strawberry jam and apple jam, but it also has its own unique taste. If you like the sour and sweet taste, and the sesame seeds inside. It has a unique taste, and it has a unique flavor when you use it to hold steamed buns or dip it in desserts.
The most important thing is that my family sells cheap jasmine jam. The jams on the market often cost 13 or 4 yuan a bottle, and the weight is not large. The jalapeno jam is full of large cans, which is too real in comparison.
The other side of the world, the lilac seeds are still ripening one after another, so I can still sell a wave or two of jams. Unfortunately, the yellow lilac seeds I sprinkled with yellow-green stones did not bear red fruits, and the red lilac seeds from the cuttings were long It grew very fast, but there are no flower buds. It is estimated that it will not bloom until next year. At that time, I left, and the villagers also took my light. From now on, there will be red lilacs to eat every year.
Aside from the jams that sold out, life in my family has improved a little bit, and it's September, when my high school starts.
It stands to reason that I am looking forward to high school life. After all, it is a new beginning, but I have been waiting for too long. When it really comes, I am a little caught off guard. I went to sign up with my dad, and many people looked at me curiously, and my face was stunned. Hong, I'm very sorry, I regret why I didn't put on my hat.
The high school teacher greeted my dad with a smile on her face. She first said that I looked so young, and then said that I was born clean, and I didn't look like a child in a county, but like a big city. My dad is usually not good at communicating with people like teachers or doctors. He was at a loss just like me. He touched my head and said that I was almost fourteen. He also said that although I looked small, I was big-handed. The doctor said that I was developing slowly. , there will be big men in the future.
Listening to my dad's inappropriate words and being stared at by so many people, I blushed to the bottom of my ears, and when the teacher greeted me, I only knew how to smirk.
"Yeah, your name is Wang Kai, isn't it? What a good name! Your smile is so bright, sweet and handsome, you will definitely be a handsome guy in the future, I'm your head teacher, Mr. Dong, you are two years younger than the others. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me, and the teacher will give you a head start!" As he said that, he embraced me and pretended to be murdering the people around me, making the surrounding classmates laugh.
I was even more shy. Being embraced by my classmates to introduce myself, I was speechless, but I remembered the names of several classmates.
I was young and small. The boys and girls in the class regarded me as a child, especially the bold girls hugged me directly. My face was red as a monkey's butt, and I didn't dare to let out the air. Happy, they are all rushing to tease me, pinching my cheeks.
I've never been so popular in my life, but I really enjoy it, especially when I hear them compliment me on my good looks, I'm as eager to hear their compliments and affirmations as someone dying of thirst.
Before the textbooks were distributed, I went to the toilet once. There was a broken mirror on the outer wall of the toilet. It was dirty and blurry, but I could see the shadow of my pocket inside.
I was wearing cloth shoes and green shorts, with a pair of pure white short-sleeves on my upper body. My arms, legs, and neck were all garishly white. My eyes were dark, and I had a short head like a prisoner of labor. I looked very energetic.
My eyebrows and eyes are not like this in my memory. I used to be dark and thin, with a very flat nose. When everyone saw me, they said that I looked like my father, but now my nose is not flat at all, and my eyes are big and big. She's beautiful, although she doesn't have double eyelids like my mother, but she's much prettier than my dad's beanie eyes.
The mirror is covered with a thick layer of dust, but I can still see my eyelashes. In the past, people always said that I had no eyelashes, that my eyebrows were very thin, and that I would become bald in the future. I have been worried about this for a long time, but I Now the eyebrows are thick and the eyelashes are thin and dense, which is not at all the same as I remember.
I can't even remember when was the last time I looked in the mirror. Did I look like this in the mirror at that time?
I remember when I was arguing before, people called me ugly and said I was like a monkey.
I don't look like a monkey now...
Then I think of Zhang Shalai, my ex-girlfriend, if she sees me now, will she break up with me and leave me?
"Wang Kai?" Someone whispered to me, but the voice was full of uncertainty.
"Huh?" I looked back and saw that it was my junior high school classmate, and nodded to greet him.
"It's really you! God, you've changed so much without a hat!" the boy shouted with a fuss.
"It's okay," I grinned, "what class are you in?"
"I'm in class four, how about you?" The junior high school classmates kept looking at it.
"I'm in class 7." My junior high school classmates had good grades before. Class 4 is the key class. In my school, classes 1, 2 and 3 are the best. Classes 4 and 5 are medium key classes. This is called an ordinary class. The weak chickens in the middle and lower reaches of junior high school are gathered in our class.
"I spent the whole holiday in the countryside, and I was sunburnt like coal. Why are you so white! Have you been so white before?" The junior high school classmate was very puzzled and asked me if I was using some cosmetics, but he thought I was using cosmetics. Not for the whole body, after all, my calves are all white.
I said that it was probably because I was at home watching the grocery store during the holidays, and I didn’t go out to bask in the sun much. He was still skeptical when he heard it. He remembered me in the whole junior high school as black, black, and thin. I saw me today. It's like changing people.
"Didn't I be like this before? Except for the black spots."
"You used to...I really don't remember exactly what you used to look like, but it's definitely not like this now." He frowned as if he wanted to remember what I used to be. appearance.
In the past, my family was very poor, I couldn’t eat enough to eat, and I lacked nutrition and had yellow skin and thin skin. Of course, I would not look good. Now that I have enough nutrition, and I have the conditions to wear new clothes, it is normal to have changes.
When I went back to the class to pick up the textbook, I found that there were also several classmates from junior high school and even elementary school in the new class. They all felt that I had changed more or less, but they just thought that I looked better after dressing up, but I didn't think so. I have something reborn.
