Chapter 1

Li Su opened his eyes only after hearing the sound of a rooster crowing.The faint light from the main room came in through the crack of the door, and just hit the award certificate pasted on the mud wall. The three big characters of "three good students" on it made Li Su, who was still dazed, startled for a while.

"Hmm." Li Su murmured, closed his eyes and hugged the quilt and turned over, his arm hit a hard object, and Li Su, who was startled, retracted his arm reflexively.Carefully and cautiously looking directly at it with the weak light, I found that it was a pillow made by Li's mother herself, and inside were Chinese herbal medicines such as wild chrysanthemum and cassia seed that are common here.

Taking it over, he took a deep breath, his nose was filled with a fragrant and bitter taste, and Li Su became quite awake.After rubbing his eyes, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, half-closed his eyes and put on the small clothes one by one, Li Su folded the quilt smoothly as he had done every day for the past month, because his hands were short and his feet were short. , it took some time.

After folding the quilt, Li Su took a small rubber band and without looking in the mirror, used a comb to smoothly tie two braids.

After tidying up all these, Li Su opened the door with his small toothbrush and walked into the small yard, took a small porcelain bowl from the stone platform to the wooden bucket next to the stone platform, and scooped water carefully and cautiously. After brushing her teeth, she ran into the room and carefully put the toothbrush in a small bamboo box she made herself, then took the towel and went out to face.

The Li family does not have its own well, and the water used at home is the water that Li's mother picks up from the village stream every morning.It's already very cold in November, and the feeling of cool stream water on your fingertips is really... so cold.

With trembling hands, Li Su quickly twisted the towel and washed his face before going to the stove. Father Li was burning firewood. Mother Li who was cooking saw the door and saw the daughter who wrapped herself up like a bear at the door, smiling. He said, "Susu, why don't you sleep more."

"I can't sleep," Li Su squinted to see Father Li who was burning firewood, rubbed his hands and ran to him and called him affectionately, "Father is back." Putting his hand on the stove, the temperature of the burning firewood was impressive. I feel comfortable all at once.

Li's father rubbed Li Su's head with one free hand, and said to Li's mother with a smile, "Why don't you take Susu to the county with you." He works in the mine in the next village, and he rarely comes back Oh, when he got home last night, Li Su was already fast asleep.

"Take Susu with you?" Mother Li asked hesitantly as she poured the porridge from the pot into a bowl.The distance from home to the county is not short, even if she is an adult, she would feel exhausted to go back and forth, let alone her daughter who is not yet seven years old.

Father Li nodded, lowered his head and asked Li Su who was leaning on his knee and warming his hands comfortably, "Susu, do you want to go with mom?"

"Well, I want to!" Li Su looked at Li's mother and nodded vigorously, and said loudly with a little childishness unique to children, "I will go by myself obediently and won't let my mother hug me." There is a shuttle bus to the county seat, but Li Su knows that her mother always walks there. After all, the bus ticket for this meeting is not cheap for ordinary people.

Probably because the nutrition did not keep up when she was in the mother's womb. Compared with other children of the same age in the village, the daughter was much smaller. Looking at the cute and sensible daughter, Li's father felt a little sad.
