Chapter 21: Cloud Shadow in October 1994

Cloud Shadow in October 1994

That's how I started my high school life.

A few days after school started, I heard someone say that I was a junior high school student wearing a high school uniform, and there were even rumors that I was a primary school student who jumped up a grade and said I was a genius.

I was both angry and funny, but their suspicions were not unreasonable. After all, if you just looked at my face and body, no one would believe that I was a high school student.

I'm wearing the smallest high school uniform, but it's still loose like a robe, so it's no wonder they say I'm wearing my brother's uniform to school.

Every day when I enter the school gate, not only are the students around me staring at me, but even the security guards and the teachers who check the appearance and appearance are staring at me. The development is not good, but no matter how you look at it, I have never seen one that looks like a primary school student.

My appearance is special. The boys in the class joked that I was the Tianshan child grandma in the TV series. Even the substitute teachers of various subjects were the first to know me and remember my name.

I have always been average in my studies since I was a child. I didn't expect that I was fortunate enough to be the representative of the English class in high school. For this, I am very grateful to my English teacher. I am very serious in English class and I do my best to do English homework in the class.

It's easy to be remembered by his name because he looks different from others, so he's easy to be named in class. When I was in class, if the teachers didn't know who to call to answer the questions, they would probably call them "Wang Kai" whom they were familiar with. It was they who always paid attention to Wang Kai. Wang Kai couldn't desert in class, so he could answer them from time to time without being embarrassed.

I really envy other students. They can lie down and sleep when they are sleepy in class. Even if the teacher sees them, they are too lazy to care about them. But every teacher knows me. If I am sleepy, they will ask me why I am sleepy. Was it yesterday? I didn’t have a good rest. If I didn’t get it right, I would chat with me for a few days. At this time, everyone was staring at me. It was like I was tied to the stage and publicly whipped. on the eyes.

I can’t sleep in class, let alone skip class and go to the arcade like other people. Every time I see other people skip class and go to the arcade to play games, I am so envious, but I don’t have the guts to be encouraged by them to go together. What a pain.

On the other hand, the girls in our class really treat me as a pet, especially those who are taller. They claim to be my big sister. They don't care if I don't agree, they just hold me in their arms, which is too much. Dare to kiss my cheek.

I've been angry because of this, but they all laughed and laughed. Instead, they thought I was cute when I was angry, which made me laugh out of anger and couldn't continue to argue with them.

I'm obviously not much younger than them. In fact, I even think I'm older than most of them. They haven't built their own houses, lived in grass nests, or farmed with both hands like me. , but they treat me like a child because I am short, and they really disrespect me.

I complained to my tablemate that everyone didn’t respect me, and when I was treated like a child, my tablemate listened absently, and after I finished speaking, he said perfunctorily, “You are two years younger than them, and you’re a bit squatter. , isn't it a child?" He compared my size with his hands, and made a small dwarf action.

I gritted my teeth, and I said that there was a fat boy with acne-prone face in my class who was the same age as me, and no one ever bothered him and treated him as a child.

"You traded your height for this face, so they like to tease you. You want to grow into a monster like XX and expect others to be rare?"

"...That's true." I think what he said makes sense.

"So you deserve it!" He took out a bag of bear biscuits from his schoolbag and threw it at me: "Aren't you eating biscuits? It's too boring and I feel sick when I eat it.

" It's so sweet." I'm growing and I love meat!

"This is the only country dog ​​that runs a canteen at home!" He stuffed the biscuits into my hand.

"Fuck you, I told you I'm a town hukou!" I tore open the biscuit bag and picked it up.

I always hide all kinds of snacks from his 'girlfriend' in my schoolbag at the same table. He eats all the delicious ones, and gives me the ones he doesn't want to eat and throws away. If I want to eat his walnuts, he will never eat them. Don't let me touch it. Every time I eat it, it's just bickering at me. It's a bastard.

"My girlfriend asked me to ask you how you think about not being her brother." My tablemate looked at me sideways: "Little dog, I suggest you take it as soon as you see it, stop being hypocritical, and be careful of being beaten!"

"Fuck you, I don't even think about it!" I was too lazy to talk to him. I had a private chat with his 'girlfriend'. After careful consideration, I still felt that it would be better not to recognize any sister or brother. I was most afraid of trouble.

"Hmph, you have self-knowledge!" My deskmate was happy and didn't mind if I scolded him. His precious 'girlfriend' was as rich as him, and they all came back to study in big cities, and in the experimental class, he didn't even bother to scold him. I don't want my girlfriend to have contact with a poor guy like me, who thinks I'm lowering the price, and I don't know why he insisted on having me as his table, obviously other people are rushing to sit with him.

Whoops! This biscuit is actually delicious, but I can't show that I'm starving to death and haven't eaten anything good, so I have to reluctantly forward it to others at the front and back tables to share.

The class I was in was called the ordinary class. In our entire class, or in our entire grade, only my deskmate dared to call our class a "rubbish class", and no one refuted or taught him a lesson.

I would never have been assigned to the same class as me in any case. In junior high school, his grades were stable in the top ten of the school. He was recognized as the top student. He was also a member of our school's 'experimental class'.

Originally, his family was ready to spend a lot of money to get him into the experimental class, but he was very arrogant, saying that he would still study even in the "rubbish class". After the first year of high school, he would be re-classified in all grades, and he had to rely on his own strength. Divide into the experimental class, don't go through the back door at home, it's not necessary.

All in all, this chop suey was sent to our "rubbish class" by a bowl of soup called "Mother's Love", and he blindly took the same table as my "commodity dog", which is a stain on his life.

The chop suey is crazy, but he has crazy capital. In junior high school, he was the captain of their school football team. He played very well. We all liked to watch him play in physical education class. Playing around, he is as handsome as a star.

My chop mate has long legs, looks good on the run, and is especially manly. Everyone always says he's the dream girl of all girls.

If he hadn't had a beautiful 'girlfriend' who came to study in the county from a big city for his special transfer, he would definitely have received countless love letters and confessions.

This fucking...

well, actually I'm really jealous of the chop suey, he looks really good, the bridge of the nose is very straight, the lips and eyes are also good-looking, I want to be like him in my dreams, I don't want to be like this all the time With a baby face, he was rubbed and hugged like a small pet dog.

People are so greedy and insufficiency, I have only been praised for a few days, and I have forgotten how embarrassed I used to be when I was black and thin and called ugly.

If it weren't for my cute appearance being too deceptive, the chop suey would never have chosen me to be my tablemate.

The first year of high school is relatively easy, and I have pocket money now. Sometimes my classmates call me, and I can finally go out and play with me. I also go with them when they go to the game hall after school. Most of the time they invite me to play games. But I don't want to take advantage of them all the time, so I also invite them to play games.

When I went to the game hall, those junior high school students and elementary school students always thought that I was with them, or they thought I was playing games with my brother, or they admired and envied that I could play games with older children. I told them that I was also a high school student, and even showed them my school uniform, but they still didn't believe me.

Video games are really fun, and the big color TVs in the arcade are super cool. If I hadn’t had to go to the canteen on weekends, I really wanted to sit in the arcade all day and practice my King of Fighters skills.

However, the cost of playing games is very high. It costs three yuan an hour. I usually go there once or twice a week. If there is too much, it will affect the usual spending. I asked the price of the game console, and a Sony game console costs one The classmates said that the most powerful 29-inch large color TV in the city costs more than 6,000 yuan, which means that if I have 8,000 yuan, then I can buy my own large color TV and game console.

Eight thousand yuan, three gold coins, a lot of ginseng potatoes, so far away, I don't have a lot of ginseng potatoes to use.

After making Huanglianzi jam again, the ginseng potatoes in the opposite world began to harvest. This year, the output of ginseng potatoes in the fields of the whole village has increased by a grade compared with last year. The villagers attribute this phenomenon to the blessing of the gods. Bunch of plump ginseng potatoes made everyone smile.

The villagers were amazed at how many ginseng potatoes I excavated in two fields. Half of the widow’s house was used as a warehouse, and it was full of ginseng potatoes. The villagers helped me calculate if I could carry the ginseng potatoes myself. When I went to Luhe Village, I got enough coins to buy an iron axe, which is a treasure that can be eaten.

The ginseng potatoes I harvested this time were not exchanged with anyone. I agreed to pay the adults in the village to help me carry the ginseng potatoes to Luhe Village. For every four coins I exchanged, I would give them one as a reward. The adults in the village are very willing.

It stands to reason that they can dig the ginseng potatoes in the small valley and sell them in Luhe Village. All the coins sold are their own, but in fact, there are also allocation quotas for the ginseng potatoes in the small valley. This year, the village plans to dig small ones. The ginseng potatoes in the valley exchanged a batch of goods with Luhe Village. The ginseng potatoes are not enough. I have ginseng potatoes to sell and I am willing to pay for them. They are happy to get a quarter of my harvest in one trip.

The widow's belly is already round, and it looks like she will give birth soon. The child has no father, and she doesn't know how to raise the child. Recently, she has become unhappy again.

But what can be done?

This has always been the case throughout the years. There are quite a few children in the village. Children are born every year, but less than half of them live past their first birthday, and there are at most one or two out of ten who can grow to ten years old.

The widow babbled that she had a hunch that the child would be difficult to survive, and she was sad.

It stands to reason that she is used to it.

Before and after having their own daughter and son, the widow also gave birth to six children one after another. The oldest of them was over seven years old, and the youngest was stillborn. Now the daughter and son are two lucky guys, but they can You can't grow from a little guy to an adult, no one can say for sure.

It is impossible for the widow to stay in the village. The villagers, especially the women, all made concerted efforts to drive the widow and her two children away from the village when the river calmed down. As for where the widow will go after that, and whether the child is born or not. When you come out, you don't care where you are born.

This is the situation at hand, I have no position to judge whether the widow "made" herself to death, but if she admits to handing over her son and daughter to me, then I will take care of her and give birth to her child, and even give birth to her child. Raise her for a while longer until she can start a new life, she also knows the choices I give her, it's all up to her.

After the hottest season, the weather on both sides of the world is getting cooler day by day. My family got me a cheap second-hand bicycle and repaired it so that I can ride it to and from school. I have many new friends at school. High school life Tasty.

On the other side, the river also began to ease, and the men in the village generously took all my ginseng and potatoes to escort me and the widow's family out of the village to Luhe Village after consultation.

My little crypt house was handed over to the Lugars, and they liked it so much after they understood how the crypt house was used, and they even planned to live in it as a family of four, just in time to repair their original house.

My fertile fields of ginseng and potato, as well as slices of yellow lilac and red lilac bushes have also become the public property of the village. Anyway, I can't take it with me if I leave. Giving it to the village is a good way for everyone to take care of me for so long. 's answer.

A-Fu foolishly thought that he could go out of the village to play, jumping and jumping happily, with the rope around his neck, he always wanted to struggle and run away to have fun in the woods.

Ah Fu's sister was very sad when she knew that we were leaving. She drooped her ears and hummed as if she was crying. I told her that I would come back to see her. The river will slow down every year in the future. I always come back to see her with Ah Fu, and tell her not to worry about us.

I don't know if she can understand me, she is a big girl now, she can stand up and put her paws on the shoulders of the men in the village, adults can't hold her at all, but she is not yet a year old, still a small girl.

Reluctantly, we still left her behind. She seemed to know her mission, standing on the river bank at the entrance of the village and looking at us eagerly, watching us disappear into the distance.

The villagers really have nothing to say. This time, not only did they take the initiative to escort me and all my harvests, but they also didn’t charge any fees, which made me both sad and moved.

I always felt that they treated me as an outsider and were unwilling to accept me, but without their kindness to take me in, I would not be able to survive in this world. Now that I am leaving, they will escort me to Luhe Village together. I feel regretful , regretted that he wanted to leave them, but could not say anything to go back.

Even if I could go back, the widow and her two children couldn't go back, and I couldn't leave them behind.

According to the original calculation, my ginseng potato can be sold for about 22 coins in total, but I listened to the opinions of the adults in the village. It is rare that this time the ginseng potato did not change coins in Luhe Village, but directly spent most of it from Luhe Village. In exchange for a semi-abandoned house, the shabby house with a yard overgrown with weeds is my future home in Luhe Village.

Relying on the guarantee of the men in the village, I had the right to acquire real estate in Luhe Village at a young age, and became a member of Luhe Village and had my own home.

I was leading the dog, standing outside the low courtyard wall with the widow and her son and daughter, looking in through the tattered door panel, I couldn't believe I had suddenly a place of my own in this world, everything was like a dream.

"If you're an adult, it's not a good choice to buy real estate after leaving the village, but you still have your...mates, you need a place to live." The man who sent me over explained to me.

I nodded to show my understanding, and thanked them again. I spent most of the money on buying a house, but there was still a lot left. I saved enough to eat with Ah Fu and the widow’s family. Even if the widow gave birth to a child, I wouldn’t be hungry. .

"Winter is not far away, we will come over several times to exchange items to prepare for the winter. You are a friend of the village, tell us when you need help, and we will help you find a way." He patted me: "Boy, we all Believe in your ability, you will survive the winter, and we will see you next year."

They carried the ginseng into my new home and left, and I reluctantly said goodbye to them.

The person in charge of the residents' news in Luhe Village came here when I traded ginseng for my house. I couldn't understand what he said at all, and it was only through someone else's translation that I could barely understand that he recorded my name, age and origin in words. , This courtyard belongs to me from today, and I also become a villager of Luhe Village. If I want to take other people at home, I need to report to him and the village chief.

The widow could understand the words of Luhe Village and looked at me enviously. Her natal family was not far from Luhe Village, but she did not belong to Luhe Village. She never thought that I could directly join Luhe Village and become a member here.

The widow does not belong to Luhe Village. If there is no villager to take her in, she will have to leave before dark. She panicked and told me that she agreed to give me her son and daughter at the price that I had to take in and take care of her, and Give her ten coins in the future.

I refused without thinking. I already knew that she planned to sell her son and daughter for six coins. Now she has nowhere to go. No one will take in a pregnant woman and two children. Even if someone takes her, it may not be. Dare to go, so I told her that I would only take her in for one year, and within a year I would give her six coins, if I did not give her six coins within a year, then our transaction would be void, and her children would return to freedom .

The widow was very entangled, but she had no room for bargaining and could only agree to my terms.

From now on, the widow's son and daughter belong to my private property in the agreed scope. As long as I pay six coins within a year, our transaction contract will be valid forever.

I have lived in this world for nearly two years and finally have my own identity.

According to the records of the clerk, I am thirteen years old, my name is "Cain", I am from Shanghe Village, and now I am a resident of Luhe Village.
