Chapter 32 Chapter 5 Red Gate 1 (6)

The first third of the first semester of the fifth grade had just finished, and it was late autumn, and the eaves of all the thatched houses in Yau Ma Tei Primary School were planted with moxa that Grandma Qin had cut.When these moxa were planted, a calamus was planted at the same time.The smell of mugwort and calamus mixed together creates a scent that children will remember for a lifetime.During class, this smell will float into the room with the wind.The big river in front of the tree, because the rice fields on both sides are pouring water for harvesting, the river is full at once, and the brown duckweed flowing into the big river from the rice fields, along with the mighty river, goes westward day and night drifting.The reed flowers on both sides of the strait sway in the autumn wind, engraving autumn in people's hearts.

In this season, Du Xiaokang suddenly terminated his studies. The prosperous Hongmen family suddenly plummeted one morning and fell into another realm. Du Yonghe, who wanted to make a fortune, used the wealth accumulated by several generations to buy a large ship for transporting goods. With the large sum of money he earned in these years, he borrowed a sum of money from others and went to the city to buy goods. I got off a large ship of cheap and good goods, and planned to keep them at home and sell them slowly to make a bigger sum of money.On this day, the big ship full of goods was on the way back to Yau Ma Tei.Du Yonghe wanted to go back to Yau Ma Tei as soon as possible, so he set sail.The big boat was on the open water, leaning slightly, split the water in half, the bow rose and fell against the wind and waves, and went straight forward.Du Yonghe was at the helm, watching a group of water birds startled by the big ship and flying into the sky, he felt indescribably happy.While steering the wheel, he stooped down, took a small bottle of brandy from the basket, knocked off the cap with his teeth, and drank all the wine in the bottle after a while.He tossed the empty bottle into the water and watched with interest as it flickered away in the spray behind the boat.He began to feel hot all over, so he unbuttoned his clothes and let the cool wind blow on his chest.Du Yonghe suddenly thought of his life's hardships and this life's pride, taking advantage of the strength of the wine, let himself immerse himself in the feeling of bitterness and happiness, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Then I became drunk, everything in front of me was illusory and uncertain, the water and the sky were the same color, and the water and the sky were indistinguishable, and the boat seemed to be walking in a dream. Ahead is a big river bend.Du Yonghe heard a whistle coming from the other side of the river bend, and also thought that there might be a big ship coming ahead, and he had to lower the sails and sail slowly, but he couldn't make a clear judgment in a daze, let alone Make quick moves.The big ship is still moving forward bravely.Du Yonghe suddenly saw a huge monster blocking his vision, and broke out in a cold sweat from fright.He woke up suddenly, but it was too late: his big wooden boat collided with a big tug that was pulling seven or eight big iron boats.Before he could react, he felt the boat shake violently and he was thrown into the water.When he got out of the water, his big wooden boat and the cargo were sinking rapidly.He climbed onto the still-sunken boat and yelled loudly, but before he yelled a few times, the water was up to his neck.Suddenly there was no support for his feet, he seemed to fall into the abyss in a dream, and after another scream, he himself sank into the water...

People on the tugboat jumped into the water and rescued him to the shore.When he woke up, his eyes were staring straight, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up. Someone salvaged it for him, but almost nothing was brought up: it was salted, leaving only sacks; Inside Dahongmen, those houses really became empty shells. Soon, Du Xiaokang's bicycle was sold.Because I still owe money to others. Soon, Du Xiaokang stopped coming to school.Because Du Yonghe was lying on the bed and couldn't stand up all the time.The family had to squeeze out money to treat him, so it was no longer possible for Du Xiaokang to go to school.

Sangsang went to the river to help her mother wash vegetables that day, and met Du Xiaokang.Du Xiaokang supported a small wooden boat, and on the straw mat in the cabin lay the thin Du Yonghe.Du Xiaokang probably went somewhere to treat his father.Du Xiaokang was already tall, but now he looks even taller.However, Du Xiaokang still looked clean. Sangsang shook his hand at Du Xiaokang. Du Xiaokang also shook his hand at Sangsang...
