Chapter 14 Lonely Walk

The dinner at home that night became a stage for Yu Tingting alone. Yu Tingting became the art committee member of her class. "The monitor of our class is Lin Yang, the deputy monitor is Ling Xiangqian, the study committee member is Zhang Ming, the life committee member is Xu Jiadi, and the sports committee member is..." She finished speaking in one breath, swallowed the beans in her mouth, and continued, "The arts committee member is Me! Well, there are some group leaders or something, I don’t remember.” Grassroots cadres are not taken seriously. However, Yu Zhouzhou is not as good as Yu Tingting - she only remembers a little swallow.

"Teacher Zhang said that starting tomorrow we will learn the pen-holding posture and sitting posture, which I have learned in kindergarten." "Teacher Zhang said that our class one is the best class in the whole grade." "Ms. Zhang said that first-grade children are not allowed to go to the canteen downstairs to buy food by themselves." "Teacher Zhang said that if you run and jump in the corridor and make noise, you will be caught by the students on duty, and you will be criticized if you deduct points for the class and smear it." "Teacher Zhang said..."

Yu Qiao, who went to grandma's house for a meal because her father was on duty and didn't have time to cook, suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks and laughed. So the usually very clever little mouth could only be stubbornly pursed, without saying anything. "I said, something like a teacher..." Yu Qiao said out of breath after laughing halfway. "Yu Qiao! Shut up!" The uncle slapped his hands and shuddered again. Yu Qiao covered her head and stared at the wall clock on the wall, "Dad, you should go, or you will be late." "You can talk nonsense if I leave, right?"

"Didn't I keep talking nonsense when you didn't leave? The point is, you think that as long as I speak, it must be all nonsense." "Little brat, you—" Yu Zhouzhou lowered his head while holding the bowl and snickered, when he heard grandma cough lightly, the dinner table became quiet again, only the crisp knocking of chopsticks and plates. "Zhou Zhou, how are you doing today?...except for breaking your leg." After grandma finished speaking, Yu Qiao made a face at her. "Well, it's pretty good." She nodded, picked up a chopstick of beef sauce, "...everything...is pretty good."

Yu Tingting raised her eyebrows and said with a half smile, "I know how you fell down. You didn't tell grandma the truth. You didn't eat at noon, did you? Because you smashed our monitor with your lunch box!" Yu Zhouzhou was startled. She just told her grandma that she broke her leg while playing on the playground, and she didn't mention Lin Yang.When she was feeling uneasy, she suddenly heard Yu Qiao's exclamation. "Sure enough, I'm not mistaken. I'm worthy of being my successor. I'm not as brave as you on the first day of school. Smash the class monitor? Bull! Are you going to fight the local tyrants and start a revolution? As a senior, I can teach you my experience. !"

Yu Zhouzhou glared fiercely at Yu Qiao who was pouring fuel on the fire, took a few mouthfuls of food, and said nothing. Grandma stopped her chopsticks, "What's going on? Did you smash someone up?" Before Yu Zhouzhou could shake his head, he heard Yu Tingting's angry voice, "Isn't it? She hit it right! Although I didn't see it, I heard from my classmates that she smashed our monitor home to see a doctor. The flag-raising ceremony None of them participated! Our monitor..." "He's not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?" Yu Zhouzhou's understatement seemed to choke a whole steamed bun in Yu Tingting's mouth. She was stunned for a long time with her mouth open. After being interrupted, she didn't know how to continue, so she had to turn her head to look at grandma.

"Is it really okay? Do you need to talk to your teacher?" Grandma kept her eyes down while eating, her voice didn't fluctuate at all. "It's okay," Yu Zhouzhou said very calmly, like the actors on TV, "It's all in the past." ... At eight o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhouzhou was sitting on the small bed flipping through the newly issued Chinese documents when he heard the doorbell ring. My mother always came back late recently. As a sales agent, she kept telling Yu Zhouzhou that she had a party at night and couldn't come back for dinner.Yu Zhouzhou didn't understand why it took so long for adults to eat a meal, but she knew that her mother worked very hard.

"Zhou Zhou, how are you doing today? What's wrong with your hand? You also broke your knee? Why, did you fall?" Yu Zhouzhou decided to confess first, "Well, I smashed Yu Tingting and her class monitor." The tone was as calm as "no homework left today". Didn't it just smash Lin Yang? Why was everyone panicked when they heard about it, including my mother?She didn't make Lin Yang stupid - he was stupid in the first place. After a few brief chats, my mother finally felt relieved, frowned and taught her to be more careful in the future, and don't always run around in a panic.Yu Zhouzhou happily took out a stack of new books and handed them to her mother. "Mom, the teacher said that these must be wrapped in book covers. And you can't use colorful paper, you must use white paper!"

Elementary school teachers can always come up with a lot of inexplicable rules. Mom sighed, smiled and said, "Okay, now let's wrap the book cover." Under the warm orange light of the cabin, Yu Zhouzhou stood by the table, watching his mother position the math textbook on the back of the snow-white calendar paper, mark it with a pencil, then cut the paper and press the creases... Mom lowered her head At the time, a few strands of broken hair hung down, and the profile of her face revealed a graceful and soft curve behind the hair. She pursed her lips slightly, her makeup was exquisite and her eyes were picturesque, making Yu Zhouzhou look in a trance.

Her mother is so beautiful. Yu Zhouzhou fell in love with the activity of wrapping book covers at that moment.Until she was in high school, no one asked students to wrap snow-white book covers, and even stationery stores had colorful anime plastic book covers of various specifications. She would still carefully imitate her mother's appearance on calendar paper or kraft paper by herself. Compare the indentations on the paper, and put a mirror by your side to let the hair on the forehead hang down, and tilt your head from time to time to see if you have the charm of your mother. She learned to miss in many ways back then, and this was just one of them.

-------------------------------------------------- ---- Yu Zhouzhou's elementary school life kicked off like this.In the morning, all the students will line up on the playground according to the order of the class, and then enter the school one by one.There will be a flag-raising ceremony on Monday, and the routine campus radio program of the "Red Scarf" radio station will start at 7:20 on the other four days.The class officially starts at eight o'clock, with a class of forty-five minutes and a ten-minute break between classes.Four quarters in the morning, four quarters in the afternoon, and school ends at 4:15 in the evening. Except for the on-duty students, the other students lined up again in the back playground, and walked to the gate to disband on the spot under the leadership of the sports committee and class teacher. Of course, things are not just that simple. The life of elementary school students is really boring and monotonous. In order to avoid this monotony, the teachers reached a consensus to have fun.Like the Qing palace maids thousands of years ago, their favorite thing to do is to set rules. For example, when queuing up in the morning, the small squad leaders will patrol back and forth in the line, don't talk back, even if your ears are itchy and you scratch your hands, you will still be reprimanded.Sometimes they would be picked out by the squad leader and dragged to the end of the line—this was what civilians like Yu Zhouzhou feared the most, because those who were singled out would be sued by the teacher and died without a burial. In order to enter the door conveniently and beautifully, the classes are arranged in a serpentine manner, so the seventh class where Yu Zhouzhou belongs to is next to the first class where Lin Yang and Yu Tingting are.Every day, she could see Lin Yang smugly patrolling around the team in their class with a smug expression—Yu Zhouzhou didn't dare to tilt her head to look casually, and could only see him in front of her eyes from the corner of her eye Dangling around, I didn't know that Lin Yang's virtue was actually shown to her on purpose. Class 1 and Class 7 have two physical activity classes every afternoon at the same time. Yu Zhouzhou is already relatively familiar with the children in the class at this time. , Running wantonly on the playground, of course, sometimes bump into senior classmates, get hit by their football or fall and scratch their skin.However, what puzzled Yu Zhouzhou the most was that Lin Yang himself was having a great time with his friends. A group of boys held plastic swords and slashed at each other, using all kinds of embarrassing nirvana, but every time When Yu Zhouzhou was embarrassed—he was caught playing "True and False Landmines", he jumped the wrong step when he was jumping a rubber band, he ran in the wrong direction in the two sides of the city... he would always hear Lin Yang's laughter not far away. Sometimes I see Yu Tingting, but she never pays attention to Yu Zhouzhou, as if they don't know each other. Girls are amazing animals. Naturally, the school was a gigantic harem, and almost as if by nature, all schoolchildren learned to compete for favor. Whoever the teacher smiles at will make others envious.Every day before school is over, the class teacher will summarize the situation of the day. The children who are criticized are very annoyed, and those who are praised will rush to the arms of their parents to "show off" triumphantly after they are dismissed in place.What's interesting is that the table between Yu Zhouzhou and Li Xiaozhi seems to be transparent people. They have never received any praise or criticism. No matter how straight Yu Zhouzhou straightened his back during the meditation, those people will always be praised , Zhan Yanfei, Xu Yanyan, Chen Xueying... Moreover, Yu Zhouzhou has a new goal in his life - the little red flower list. ... At present, there are still 0 flowers, and the red flowers and black flowers are all 0. She and Li Xiaozhi seem to be a baseline, leaving a blank space sadly. Finally, on the Wednesday of the second week after school started, Yu Zhouzhou approached his grandmother solemnly after dinner and said, "Grandma, I want to walk home by myself in the future." After the grandma's infusion was over, the doctor told her to keep walking every day, so she would send Yu Zhouzhou and Yu Tingting to school every morning and evening.The primary school attached to the Normal University is very close to their home, only about 15 minutes away, and there is no need to cross the main road, and they can go home through small streets and buildings.Grandma thought for a while, then patted Yu Zhouzhou's head, "But I want to see Tingting off, isn't it convenient for the two of you to be together?" "But I want to go by myself." Grandma raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Zhou Zhou, you don't like Tingting, do you?" yes.Yu Tingting talked endlessly about her class like a sparrow along the way, from Teacher Zhang to Lin Yang to Xiaohonghua to Xiaoheihua to praise and criticism of blablabla... Yu Zhouzhou didn't want to hear it, not at all. She didn't know if it was because of jealousy, but Yu Tingting ranked fifth in the little red flower list in class one, and she asked herself every day on the way home from school, Yu Zhouzhou, did you get the little red flower today? Want you to take care of it?Yu Zhouzhou didn't want to lie, so he could only shake his head.Yu Tingting asked endlessly, and after she finished asking, she would shake her grandma's hand vigorously, as if hoping that grandma could comment on the difference between her granddaughter and granddaughter—fortunately, grandma smiled and remained silent every time. But she didn't want to say the word "hate" to her grandmother, so she explained swearingly, "Our teacher Yu said that we should cultivate the ability to be self-reliant. If you live not far away, it is best not to have your parents pick you up." Yu Zhouzhou thought, could she really be Brother Qiao's successor?You can talk nonsense with your mouth open. Grandma thought for a while, then smiled and agreed. However, on the first day, she still took Yu Tingting and followed Yu Zhouzhou all the way in the distance quietly. When she found that there was nothing to worry about, she was relieved. Yu Zhouzhou's life improved a little because he walked alone.The thoughts suppressed in the school during the day were released in just fifteen minutes.The face of the villain BOSS in my mind was replaced by the high-spirited deputy squad leader Xu Yanyan at some point, and Yu Zhouzhou turned into a starlet who was even more dazzling than Little Swallow after the transformation, and Xu Yanyan's arrogance Dispelled completely. The spirit of Ah Q is the instinct of the Chinese nation, starting from a child like Yu Zhouzhou. The TV station started to broadcast the new cartoon "Robinson's Great Adventure". Yu Zhouzhou liked the relaxing and melodious opening song very much, although it was mixed in Japanese and English. "Lonely Walk, Lonely Walk..." Brother Qiao, who is in junior high school, can speak English. He said that these two words mean "walking alone". No, not alone at all. However, Yu Zhouzhou's happy and lonely journey only lasted for a week before it came to an abrupt end. It happened on a Black Tuesday...
