With the pot, Gu Mingyuan looked at the corner, and no longer picked it up. Let me clean it up and rode back on the flatbed.

Instead of going straight home, we went to a waste collection station.

The metal, newspaper, cardboard and some books that Gu Mingyuan didn't want were sold to the purchasing station.

Gu Mingyuan sold those things for 13 yuan.

I stare at Gu Mingyuan and count the money.

I've spent more than a month on garbage, but I never knew there was something that could sell for so much money!

Gu Mingyuan looked back at me, put the money in his pocket, and let me get on the car and rode back. He said, "today's harvest is good. I'll buy some meat and go back to stir fry a chili fried meat for you."

Meat!

I can't think of anything else in my head. My mouth is flowing uncontrollably.

Gu Mingyuan bought five Jin of rice and cut half a catty of meat.

That night, I opened my stomach to eat white rice for the first time, and opened my stomach to eat meat. Gu Mingyuan didn't eat a bite of that pot of meat, which was given to me.

That delicious

I'll never forget it in my life.

Of course, there are also the same will never forget.

Gu Mingyuan's fried meat is hot pepper!

Chili!

I also eat chili in my hometown, but there is no such way!

That night, in addition to eating three bowls of rice, a large pot of Pepper Fried Meat, but also drink a jug of water!

Gu Mingyuan, the water here is a water pipe from a neighbor's house. The tap is in the corner, and there is a disc like thing on the water pipe.

Gu Mingyuan told me that it was a water meter, which was used to calculate how much water was used, and then pay the water fee according to the quantity on it.

The first time I heard about water, I had to pay for it!

There are streams and rivers in our village. You can use them!

However, I also understand why those taps should be locked, because even if I was in a hurry, I would only turn it on and forget to turn it off.

Gu Mingyuan's tap water is not available at any time. It only lasts for two hours at night. Therefore, there is a large water tank under the faucet. After Gu Mingyuan has cooked the water, he will pour it into a small tank nearby. If he wants to drink, he can pour it out of the small tank.

After dinner that day, Gu Mingyuan went to boil water and said to me: "today is the first time. Let you have a meal first. Remember later, the first thing you do when you come back is to take a bath and change your clothes. After washing, you can eat again. Because, for human beings, eating is the most sacred thing. You should be sincere and reverent. Thank God for the sunshine and rain and the farmers for their hard work Thank you for our ability to buy these foods, so that you will feel delicious when you eat them. "

At that time, I couldn't understand what he said. I just wanted to take a bath.

It is the greatest happiness for me to eat and drink enough, take a bath and sleep in the warm bed.

However, Gu Mingyuan let me enjoy the unrestrained happiness of washing with hot water in the curtain, but did not let me enjoy the happiness of sleeping.

He cleaned up the table and spread some clean newspapers on it. Then he took the half empty book and a hairy pen.

Gu Mingyuan said that he would teach me how to read and write.

Read and write

I was silly at that time, looking at him in general, when he asked me with a smile if I didn't want to, I said in a loud voice: "I do!"

Read and write!

Of course I would. I'd love to!

When I was in the village, I knew that ye Nai was totally different to my father and uncle, because my brother-in-law could read books and was the number one scholar in the village. He would be very promising in the future!

And when I watched my friends of the same age go to school with schoolbags, I was all kinds of envy and jealousy.

And for the village Liu Er cudgel, who can go to school but plays truant every day, I hate why I want to read so much but have no chance.

Now, even if it's not school, Gu Mingyuan is willing to teach me, how can I not!

Gu Mingyuan began to teach me from the simplest 1234. After he finished writing stroke by stroke, he asked me to follow me to write by myself. While writing, he asked me to read aloud.

After teaching me the key points, Gu Mingyuan asked me to practice by myself. While staring at my writing posture, he took out those letters. First, he looked at the colorful paper pasted on the envelope, and then looked inside.

When he met the pieces of paper he liked, he would cut them with scissors, and then put them in a water basin to soak them. If they were useless, they would be left in a paper bag, where the paper products for sale tomorrow would be stored.

Sometimes, he would leave the whole letter, carefully smoothed, pressed, and placed in a large wooden box.

After opening the letters, he went to sort out the books he had brought back, sort them out and put them on his big bookshelf.I live here in Gu Mingyuan.

Unless it is heavy rain and snow, we will go to the garbage station every day. In addition to the two, sometimes we will go to other places to check what people have turned over. If there are not many things on that day, Gu Mingyuan will take me all over the streets to find some garbage that people throw away at will. I am lucky that I can meet people moving, a lot of discarded waste products, and even some Because the whole old building has to be demolished, the people inside move together, and the things discarded outside become hills.

This is the time when we are most happy.

Every day we can pick up different things, sometimes more, sometimes less, more time, Gu Mingyuan can sell 20 or 30 yuan, less time, only two or three yuan.

However, these incomes are enough for Gu Mingyuan to pay the rent, water and electricity, and the food for both of us. Occasionally, he will buy me some cheap clothes.

Every day we came back, we would take a bath, then eat, and then Gu Mingyuan taught me words and mathematics.

When Gu Mingyuan collected more and more stamps, letters, books, and other teapot decorations (Gu Mingyuan said it was antique).

I know more and more words, and I'm also good at math. On several occasions, I can pick out the mistakes made by the family who collects waste products.

Then, Gu Mingyuan began to let me read books and read the books on his bookshelf.

The books on Gu Mingyuan's bookshelf are very miscellaneous, including novels, papers, geographical travel notes and so on, but most of them are ancient books.

I don't know how many years of history, there are traditional Chinese characters that I spent twice as much time learning, or ancient books with vertical rows.

Gu Mingyuan said that those are the books of our ancestors, which are the most precious cultural relics. Unfortunately, many people now throw them away as waste.

Those books are very interesting. Although some of them are very crude, I can understand them after Gu Mingyuan's explanation.

Once I found a book, the drawing in it was similar to a broken bowl that Gu Mingyuan had found a few days ago. I asked Gu Mingyuan.

Gu Mingyuan told me that it was called Yao porcelain, a famous porcelain in the Northern Song Dynasty.

After that, Gu Mingyuan began to teach me to distinguish the broken bowls and jars he had picked up.

I just know that the blue and white porcelain bowl with a big gap I eat is called blue and white porcelain. The small jar that I can drink the whole water in one breath is a wine tripod.

In a flash, I'm almost an adult.

Gu Mingyuan suddenly fell down.

When we sold the waste of the day, I rode the scooter and Gu Mingyuan sat on the scooter. When we were discussing whether to buy a kilogram of eggs, Gu Mingyuan suddenly fell from the car and fell to the ground.

He never got up again.
