Chapter 12

When the meal was ready, Li Xiaohong went to pick up her mother, and together they unloaded the sweet potatoes onto the pile of sweet potatoes that had been shaved yesterday.

Li Xiaohong said: "Mom, do you know? Lijun's father bought a TV, and she told me to watch TV at night."

"Your dad also said that when he came back last time, and he entrusted others to leave a TV. A TV costs a few hundred yuan. I originally wanted to wait until I bought it. But you have been selling tofu these days, and you have some It’s easy to pay for work, and after we’ve been busy for a while, we’ll also move the TV home.”

"?" Li Xiaohong thought for a while, but she didn't seem to express any envy. Could it be that her mother thinks that she really hopes to have a TV at home?
Although I didn't expect much from the black-and-white TVs of more than ten inches at that time, it would be good to buy a TV.The TV dramas at that time are relatively crudely produced and nothing interesting to watch now, but it is good to read the news to understand the situation.Moreover, when mother is at home, she also needs some entertainment to adjust her life.

He said happily: "Okay. We will turn on the TV at that time, and if everyone watches TV, maybe we will sell some snacks by the way."

"The TV is good." Li Xiaolu expressed his opinion not to be outdone.

"The TV is good, show us Lulu to watch it when the time comes." Li Xiaohong kissed her sister and said.

The family was preparing to eat, when Li Xiaohong finished serving the meal, she found that her sister was eating a piece of roasted sweet potato with her little dirty hands.

"Did you forget that my sister told you that you have to wash your hands before eating?" Li Xiaohong took the sweet potato pieces from her sister's hand.

"Don't wash your hands! Don't wash your hands! It hurts!" Li Xiaolu was almost used to washing his hands before meals and after going to the toilet, but today he cried uncharacteristically.

"If you don't wash it, don't wash it. If you don't clean it, you won't get sick if you eat it. We rural people are so particular about it."

Li Xiaohong looked carefully at her younger sister's hands and found that it was no wonder that she didn't want to let her wash her hands. She had scratched somewhere on her hand and tore a small piece of skin.

Coax my younger sister in a low voice: "Lu Lu is good, my sister won't hurt your hand, our Lu Lu is a clean and beautiful boy, we won't be beautiful if we don't wash it."

Hearing her sister's promise, Li Xiaolu stood still and stretched out her hand quietly.

After comforting her younger sister, Li Xiaohong said to her mother, "How can I not get sick after taking it? I read from the book that I always have stomach pains, and I often have to take insecticides to kill insects. It is all caused by uncleanliness."

"Alright, my daughter knows a lot, so I will listen to you." Zhang Meiying said with a smile.

At this point, Li Xiaohong remembered that before she entered junior high school, her mother was busy with farm work, and she often had stomach pains.After a period of time, I have to take insect repellent, and oil is not allowed for three days after taking the medicine. This is really torture for me who had nothing to eat when I was a child.

Then roundworms are usually shot down. They are long and thinner than earthworms, and they look disgusting to death.At that time, I was always afraid that the insects would grow in my stomach and eat all the internal organs one day.

After growing up, I realized that roundworms are caused by not paying attention to hygiene. As long as you wash your hands before and after meals, there will be no roundworms at all.

Knowing what was going on, Li Xiaohong naturally wanted to cultivate good hygiene habits for her only younger sister.

Not only do I cut my nails and wash my hands frequently, but I also wash my sister when I take a shower and wash my hair every day in summer.Now that the weather is colder, she also changes her clothes and washes her hair every three or two days, and then washes them together when she does her own laundry. Zhang Meiying said that her eldest daughter is more worried about her younger daughter than herself.

As for this younger sister, it is natural to love her more.Some things can only be known after going through it again. Such a precious relationship can't be overstated.

Like the children in the village, one has no conditions, and everyone lives like this, so they are not too particular. Some of the adults in the family are lazy and don't take good care of the children.

As a result, in winter, the clothes are thick, and it is inconvenient to take a bath and wash their hair. Many children have lice all over their heads and bodies.After a long time, the regenerated eggs of lice nested in the hair, and when the hair was pulled away, a bunch of lice crawled around inside.Especially the eggs, which are called Jizi in the village, are very sticky and sticky. Once they grow, it is very difficult to get them off.

Li Xiaohong saw a few children whose scalps were so itchy that they were all scratched. In the end, the adults shaved off their heads and washed them with lotion.

Li Xiaohong didn't want her sister to suffer the same pain as herself.

Li Xiaohong didn't want her younger sister to suffer from the sufferings of the children in the village. Wherever she could take care of her, she naturally did it.

The ten-day holiday passed quickly, and Li Xiaohong counted her harvest, excluding soybeans, and earned a total of 63 yuan and [-] cents.

She gave the whole 50 yuan to her mother, and she left 13 yuan and [-] cents as pocket money. Zhang Meiying saw that her daughter was doing things safely, so she naturally agreed to keep this "big" money for herself.

Because the family's farm work will be busy for a while, Li Xiaohong discussed with her mother that she would take her sister with her when she went to school, and then leave her at her grandmother's house for her to watch.

Because my mother is busy every day, and my sister will take me to play and tell me stories on the road, Li Xiaolu is more willing to follow her sister.

The result of the close relationship between the two sisters was that Li Xiaohong was going to go to school from her grandmother's house, and Li Xiaolu refused to let her go, crying to be with her sister.

Li Xiaohong had no choice but to squat down and reason with her because she couldn't hold her, "My sister is going to school to learn skills, learn more new stories and come back and tell Lulu, okay?"

After all, Li Xiaolu finally understood that her dear sister must go to school, this is not something she can change, and finally stopped crying in her grandmother's arms.

But before Li Xiaohong left, she still grabbed the corner of Li Xiaohong's clothes and said, "Sister, come back early and play with Lulu."

Seeing their sisters' deep love, grandma wiped her eyes: "This child, crying so much that grandma wants to cry too."

Zhang Jialin got impatient waiting, and urged: "Let's go! I'm almost late!" After walking a few steps, he muttered again: "Girl, you are so troublesome."

Li Xiaohong glanced at him, and he said with some displeasure: "What are you looking at, okay, this doesn't include you!"

Li Xiaohong couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that my little cousin was so awkward when he was a child.

The students were chirping in the school like a flock of birds. Their faces, which were a little pale after the beginning of the summer vacation, were all tanned. Only the teeth and the whites of the eyes were white, which looked particularly fun.

As soon as they arrived at school, Zhang Jialin and Li Xiaohong separated, went to the group of boys, and started fighting.

"Zhang Jialin, do you dare to compare with me this time? Let's see who can do well in the exam."

"Who doesn't know that Zhang Jialin and his cousin just jumped to the first level, and you see that they have just been promoted, so you compare with them? Why don't you compare with the first-grade little carrot?"

"On your level? Let's see this midterm exam. How about agreeing to a condition for whoever loses?" Zhang Jialin naturally refused to admit defeat.

"You don't need to wait for the mid-term exam, let's take a look at my Foshan Wuying feet first!"

"Look at my invincible scud!"

It seems that everyone has watched a lot of TV, and picked up the signature moves in it.

Li Xiaohong watched from the side. Although this guy has a bad temper, he integrated into the group very quickly.

"Ding Lingling, Ding Lingling!"

The ready bell rang.

The students immediately entered the classroom, and there was silence.

Teacher Wang, who teaches mathematics, walked into the classroom. He was tall, but he was too thin.

Li Xiaohong felt that every time she saw him, she seemed to be thinner than the last time, but Mrs. Wang had a square face and broad shoulders, so she was thin but not weak.

"Students, the holiday is over, and you can't be as careless at school as you are at home. I hope you can calm down, focus on your studies, and strive to get good grades. We must ask Zhang Jialin for this. Studying with classmate Li Xiaohong, the two of them did not forget to study by themselves during the holidays, and their basic knowledge is very solid, so they were able to skip a level and come to our class.

As Teacher Wang said, he turned his attention to Li Xiaohong and Zhang Jialin: "You two, I also hope that you will not be proud, and you must maintain this learning spirit in the future.

OK, now we start class! "

Li Xiaohong thinks that Chinese is not enough, mathematics is really simple, sitting here and listening to the class I already know, I feel very boring.

But out of respect for Teacher Wang, I still listened carefully.

She found that Mr. Wang was very responsible, and explained every knowledge point in detail. Moreover, some difficult points were explained repeatedly, and then she asked the students in the class if they understood.If someone said something he did not understand, he would repeat it.

More than half of a semester soon passed, and after class that day, Chinese teacher Wang said: "Zhang Jialin and Li Xiaohong stay here, and the others leave school."

After everyone left, Teacher Wang smiled and said to Li Xiaohong and the others: "You two go to the principal's office with me."

Walking out of the classroom, Wei Lijun was already waiting outside their classroom. When she saw Li Xiaohong, she smiled and waved to her.

Seeing Zhang Jialin coming out, he glared at him angrily.

"Lijun, you should go home first, the teacher has something to do with us."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

The two walked behind Teacher Wang without speaking.

Maybe seeing the seriousness of the two of them, Teacher Wang said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, it's not a bad thing."

When school just started, what would the headmaster do if he asked him?Walking all the way, Li Xiaohong thought.Look at Zhang Jialin, Zhang Jialin smiled at her, showing his white teeth like an African child, looking very happy.

After a while, the three of them walked to the principal's office. Maybe it was because they followed Teacher Wang, or maybe it was because they were getting older, and they arrived at the stairs that they thought were spooky.

Li Xiaohong took a look. In addition to the principal, Mathematics Teacher Wang, there were two senior students in the room.

The principal's surname is Zhang, in his 40s, of medium height, with a black and red face, the kind of red is very similar to the plateau red sun-dried on the plateau, and he is physically strong.

Seeing a few people coming in, I greeted them warmly: "Come, Teacher Wang, Jialin, Xiaohong, you all sit down!"

The two students moved aside, Li Xiaohong and Zhang Jialin sat down on the bench together, and Teacher Wang found a chair and sat down.
