Chapter 44: December 1995 sky light
December 1995 sky light
I told all the villagers that I would make fireplaces and kangs for them only if the houses were cleaned according to my requirements. The villagers did not hesitate too much. Just because I brought so much leather to give them to make warm clothes for them, they would not against my request.
Find a family as a demonstration first, and when the others see it, they will immediately rush to clean their own home.
When everything in the house of the exemplary people was thoroughly cleaned out, the dirty soil with potholes was shoveled down one layer and then rammed with large stones tied with ropes. And the dirt on the wooden beams was also cleaned up, and then the fireplaces and kangs were built.
The villagers in Shanghe Village are not stupid. After collecting enough stones, I only took them to build a heated kang once, and they mastered the basic method. Reliable and reliable, the kang was smeared with glue and the first test was successful, and the villagers cheered when they saw the warm kang.
The flue of the heated kang can be directly opened from the stone wall by my ability, and the construction of the fireplace is much simpler than before. Now there is no need to dismantle the wall, just stack it according to the structure, and then I control the stones to bond to each other, unless Someone smashed it with a hammer, otherwise it wouldn't fall apart.
The first house was settled, and the others got busy in the evening after following the example. I didn’t continue to accompany them.
Ah Fu and his elder sister are both close by my side, and they cannot help but remind me of how they looked when they were young. I don't think of Sister Ah Fu many times in a year, but only after seeing her again. I know how much I miss her.
Today is the end of the month, and the stone gate appeared at midnight, and I walked over without hesitation.
This is the first time in several months that I have not brought anything back. It also means that there will be no wild vegetables and fruits for sale in my house tomorrow morning. Fortunately, the business of our commissary is relatively stable now, and the family has savings. too much impact.
Besides, this month, as long as I spend more time thinking about my peculiar abilities, isn't it a piece of cake to make some money by selling knickknacks?
The last month of exercise has improved the speed and fineness of how I can control the slow deformation of glass and stone. Now I can use stone to make other daily necessities except bowls and basins. Although it is a little heavy, it is absolutely strong and durable.
The popular stone bowls opposite the door are unlikely to have much market in this civilized world, but I think some things are still very attractive, such as ornaments, flower pots and other gadgets.
When my parents woke up in the morning, they didn’t see any wild vegetables or berries. I told them that there were no wild vegetables for sale this month. They thought about it and didn’t ask any questions.
I got up and went to school by myself. I habitually wanted to put the Walkman in my school bag, only to realize that I had put the Walkman in the opposite world and didn't bring it back. Suddenly I felt that it was a very painful thing to listen to music on the way to school, and it was more important. The only thing is that Liang Jiangbo and I can't lie down and listen to music together before taking a nap. It's so annoying.
"Have you really memorized the two textbooks for the third grade?" Between classes, Liang Jiangbo sat next to me on the stairs of the top floor, flipping through the books I returned to him.
"Then what do you think?" I was proud: "I, Wang Kai, will do what I say!"
"Hey, let's see if I can do it for you." He was also in a great mood: "What reward do you want?"
"I want to go out for a walk. Let's go," I said to him, "I've grown up so much, and I've never left here except to eat in the countryside around the county seat. I want to see what the outside is like."
"Outside?" Liang Jiangbo leaned against me and said: "Would you like to take you to Yinchuan?"
"Yinchuan?"
"Well, there is a sand lake there, but it's a big lake with dense reed bushes. It's the most fun in summer. I haven't been there in winter, but it's not a knot. Ice words should also be very beautiful." Liang Jiangbo said that he had a lot of pictures of Shahu at home and showed me when he got home.
I frowned and shook my head: "I don't want to go to the water, I'm most afraid of crocodiles!" I rarely go to the water in Luhe Village, let alone get close to the dense reeds, because there are crocodiles in it.
I don't even know if that thing is a crocodile or not. I have seen it several times. It is more than four meters long. It can swallow an adult raw with its mouth open. Its sturdy and short arms allow them to walk on the beach like a fly. Their skin is very tough and inferior iron. It is hard to believe that the people of Luhe Village have been neighbors with them for generations.
Although crocodiles only live in the reeds and rivers, and rarely enter Luhe Village, there are not a few people who are eaten by crocodiles every year. It is not without reason that Luhe Village has no wharf or boat.
Liang Jiangbo laughed and said, "How can there be a crocodile in Shahu! Don't worry, if you wear a life jacket on the boat, there will be no danger if you fall."
I was still shivering. The lake was so terrible that I couldn't imagine myself sitting on a boat . It looks like it's surrounded by lake water.
My psychic powers are very poor on water, so far I can't keep myself dry in heavy rain, I can make rocks the size of watermelons fly in the air like balloons, but I can't flexibly manipulate water balls the size of my fists, I'm afraid water.
Liang Jiangbo attributed my fear of going to Shahu to the fear of water, and thought that as long as I could swim, I could overcome my fear, so he put swimming learning into our future agenda.
He can’t swim like me, and our county doesn’t have a swimming pool. I have to thank that it’s already autumn, and the water in the Yinchuan swimming pool is too cold to jump in in winter. Otherwise, I’m afraid Liang Jiangbo will really take me to Yinchuan to learn how to swim.
"How about going to Yinchuan this weekend?" Liang Jiangbo tapped me on the shoulder before class.
"It depends on the situation." I have no objection. I also know in my heart that the world here is very safe. There is no strange fish in the water that can overturn a boat. I can play with confidence.
"Okay." Liang Jiangbo pointed his fist at me, and we both went back to our respective classrooms.
During class, I still have the special care of the teacher. It’s not because of my narcissism or delusion. The teachers of most of my subjects will focus on me 80% of the time in class. I listen carefully and the state of their lectures. will also be more active than normal.
My head teacher likes to call me into the office to chat with him, and sometimes we sit in his office drinking tea and chatting for an entire self-study class.
My head teacher has a son who is about the same age as me. In the experimental class, he is very rebellious. If he can't say three words to his father, he has to quarrel with his neck. When I chat with his father, I often talk about him, his father I think he is too withdrawn and urgently needs an excellent student like me as a friend.
I always blush. My grades in the key classes are not top-notch, let alone compared with the real top students in the experimental class. When my head teacher and Liang Jiangbo mentioned the matter of the senior three classes to me, I had a headache. I have far exceeded my parents' expectations for me, and they all felt that I would definitely be admitted to the experimental class in the third year of high school. The head teacher hoped that I would be friends with his son, bring more good influence, and make his introverted son more lively; Liang Jiang Bo hoped that we could become classmates again and stick together like conjoined twins.
Tian Xin was in the same class as Liang Jiangbo. At first, I couldn't believe it when the head teacher said that the white and clean boy was his son. The main reason was that my head teacher's appearance was not very good, with a big nose and small eyes. There is no reason to have such a sign 's son, and Tian Xin's grades in their class are also excellent, not much worse than Liang Jiangbo.
In short, I got to know Tian Xin naturally. When I went to look for Liang Jiangbo, if I saw him, I would say hello by the way, and he would also say hello when I met me on campus.
I understand Tian Xin's embarrassment very well, especially when I see me going to the teacher's office to drink tea with his father with a teacup. I don't know how old he will be when he wets the bed and which female teacher the kindergarten likes the most. Awkwardness can break through the sky.
But Tian Xin couldn't do anything about me. Someone in their class said bad things about me, and my buddy Liang Jiangbo knocked down that grandson and beat him all over the place. From then on, smart people knew it was best not to trouble me.
Although it was not intentional, apart from Liang Jiangbo, the person I am most familiar with in the school is probably Tian Xin, who I have never said a few words to. Papa's rambles made it clear whether he liked sweet or salty food.
Liang Jiangbo doesn't like his classmate Tian Xin very much, because he is a tall and extroverted type who likes to exercise. Tian Xin's kind of small boy who holds comic books and novels all day long is a creature of two worlds. Jiang Bo's narcissistic words are cranes and little chickens.
He said that he didn't like Tian Xin, but for my own sake, Liang Jiangbo would still take care of his classmate Tian Xin. When there were group activities, he would give him a hand, so that Tian Xin, who was not good at communication, could also participate, and also indirectly eliminated The big stone that fell from my head teacher's heart.
Because Liang Jiangbo took care of Tian Xin, my head teacher thanked me a lot. In summer, he gave Liang Jiangbo and I a big bag of peaches, and we took them home and ate them for several days.
Tian Xin is still shy. When I went to see Liang Jiangbo, he would only say hello, he would not say a word, and usually he would not take the initiative to communicate with Liang Jiangbo in the class, but if he asked if he had any friends, others would. Said his friends were Wang Kai from the fourth class and Liang Jiangbo from their class.
I didn't bring a Walkman. I had no music when I was lying down and listening to songs at noon. I told Liang Jiangbo that the Walkman had been borrowed by my relatives and returned to me after a while. Liang Jiangbo didn't ask any further questions and stayed with me. Discussing the weekend itinerary, he spent a lot of time studying his camera in the past few days, just so that the two of us could go out together to take pictures.
If I told me, I shouldn't talk too much to the head teacher and say that Liang Jiangbo wants to take me to Yinchuan on weekends. In that case, the head teacher will not think that he and his wife are going out on weekends, so he is worried about leaving his son at home alone. I brought my son with me. I was too embarrassed to refuse, so I could only look for Liang Jiangbo with a sad face.
"Liang Jiangbo, do you think I owe my mouth! That's good, one more oil bottle." I was paralyzed in the sun and complained to myself.
"Your class teacher takes care of you so much. You have a share of all the good things in the class. Isn't it right for you to help him take care of the children?" Liang Jiangbo said that this is called giving back, and it's not a bad thing.
"Humph!..." I was still angry with myself.
"Wang Kai, don't do this, the big deal will take you out again next week, just the two of us, make up for it." Liang Jiangbo pushed me.
"What did you say?" I pursed my lips.
"I said it!" Liang Jiangbo stretched out his fist and touched me.
"Hehe." Good guy, I can go out this weekend and next weekend, I'm so happy!
The three of us packed our luggage at noon on Friday. We went home from school in the afternoon and carried our luggage. Liang Jiangbo's father drove the three of us to the bus station.
I haven't taken a long-distance bus before. I sat with Liang Jiangbo and listened to Liang Jiangbo, who was holding a map, giving me the names of the places I passed by one by one. Tian Xin sat in front of us. He was very restrained and didn't like to talk much. Liang Jiangbo gave me When I was taking pictures, he was watching, and when I asked if I wanted to take a picture of him, he shook his head and got up to hide. He only came to listen when Liang Jiangbo was talking to me.
We brought a lot of snacks. The three-hour drive along the way almost stopped. It was already night when we arrived at the destination. Liang Jiangbo’s relatives had already registered their rooms at the hotel. Rush out for a walk.
The night in the big city is brightly lit, the streets are full of people, and the shops on the wide streets are very high-end, and I am as happy as a country bumpkin.
I really like the big glass windows of those clothing stores. They are so beautiful. It feels great to see through the lights with the lights on. I stood in front of the luxurious store and took pictures. What a beautiful glass.
It's not the first time for Tian Xin to come to a big city. He behaved better than me, at least he didn't make a fuss. Unlike me, he said "wow" when he saw a high-rise building, "wow" when he saw a bus, and "wow" when he saw the roadside. There is a pond in the small park, and others say that there are fish in the pond and they have to "wow" several times.
The restaurant environment in the big city is also much better than that in our small county. I have never been to such a big restaurant, and I was very nervous when I walked in. If it wasn't for Liang Jiangbo to take me, I would not dare to. When we went in, the waiter brought us tea and snacks, and the food was served very quickly.
After strolling around for a while in the evening, I went back to the hotel to rest. The hotel layout is very open and the decoration is very luxurious. We sat in the lobby and Liang Jiangbo ordered us juice and snacks. After we finished eating, we chatted for a while before returning to the room satisfied. .
The three of us lived in a double room with two beds. Liang Jiangbo slept in one, and Tian Xin and I slept in the same one. The main reason was that Liang Jiangbo was the largest. If I slept with him in a single bed, I would be pushed to the ground, or would I sleep with him? Tianxin Insurance Point.
The hotel room is on the eleventh floor. I like its grand decoration very much. I have never lived in a building. Outside the wide balcony is the brightly lit city center. The bustling outside makes me feel unreal. I thought that I could see with my own eyes a more prosperous and beautiful street scene than on TV. People in big cities are so happy to live in such a beautiful environment.
Liang Jiangbo stood next to me and pointed out the buildings in front of me. I was fascinated by it. I told him that big cities are too beautiful. Can we live in big cities and live in buildings in the future?
"Let's go to Shanghai to study. It is the largest and most developed city in the country, and it is many times more prosperous than here." Liang Jiangbo pressed his chin on my shoulder and told me about the prosperity of Shanghai.
In fact, Liang Jiangbo has never been to Shanghai, but he said that if he goes to college, he must go to Shanghai and work and live there. That is his long-cherished wish and dream.
I told him that I would definitely go to Shanghai to study, and if he wanted to stay in Shanghai, I would also go with him.
Tian Xin disagreed with our wishes. He said that he would study in a nearby city as a teacher. This was planned for him by his family. His grandfathers were teachers, and when his father was a teacher, he would also become a teacher. .
Tian Xin has always resisted any decision made by his parents, but in his heart he is a person with no opinion. After others have planned a future path for him, even if he is extremely reluctant, he will still follow that path obediently. go down.
When I went to bed at night, I felt a little uncomfortable. After taking a shower, I was wearing a comfortable T-shirt and shorts. I wanted to sleep with Tian Xin, but I didn't expect that guy to look at Wen Wenjing and sleep so badly. , my feet were on my face, and I was upset, so I had to lean over and squeeze with Liang Jiangbo. Although I was squeezed out of bed three times at night, I finally slept soundly at other times.
