Chapter 3 third quarter

Only two dollars. It was those two dollars that changed Li Jinkui's fate. Two yuan is not enough to seal a knife ceremony, so Li Jinkui did not become "Li Watao" in the end.However, it was these two yuan plus six eggs that made Li Jinkui a student at Dalizhuang Primary School. At that time, going to school was cheap, the tuition fee was only 1.6 cents, and the book fee was 50 cents. The total was 2.1 yuan, which was still not enough. Grandpa went to the consignment store and sold six eggs, and three eggs were 10 cents, which was regarded as paying the book fee; For the remaining three eggs, my father was so entangled that I spent a long time talking with Hong Chang from the consignment point before I exchanged five pencils and an eraser.Hong Chang was gone, and Hong Chang scolded: "Uncle? Uncle, you are here again? Pay off the debt. You haven't settled the debt." The master said: "Bie, if I don't save you, you will die in the belly of the cow." That's it!... This is this, that is that, two different things." The master said again: "Give me a piece of money, give me a piece of money." Hong Chang said with a straight face: "You can credit one or two today, and one or two tomorrow. One, two, one, and two are all recorded in the account..." As he spoke, he cursed again: "Kicking a bedbug, what kind of baller are you! How dare you rub it back and forth." The face of the master blushed. A small piece, the master said: "Give me a piece. Huo Chang, your melon seeds may bear fruit in the future, if..." Hong Chang laughed, and Hong Chang said: "Three years old, just these two tubes of snot... "While he was talking, my master stretched out his hand and grabbed a piece of rubber... Hong Chang hurried to grab it, but seeing that he couldn't get it, he stroked his head hard three times, and his master still smiled and said: "Follow me again!" Is your uncle messed up?..." As he said that, he turned his head and ran away, finally leaving the rubber behind.

School is about to start, and he doesn't have a schoolbag yet.The schoolbag for school was sewed overnight by my mother out of rags, and the homework book was made out of cigarette pack papers he picked up.Some of the paper in the cigarette pack was too wrinkled. She pressed it under a stone overnight, and it finally flattened out.The next day, when the teacher picked up Li Jinkui and went to school with his schoolbag on his back, he was stunned for a moment. Amidst the laughter of the crowd, he hurriedly stood up and said, "I, it's me." The teacher looked at him twice and said "You are Li Jinkui." He whispered: "Yes." The teacher said "Oh" and said: "Student Li Jinkui, please sit down."

After going to school, knowledge can produce ideas. In the days to come, Li Jinkui always thought of the scene when his master ran away.For two cents and one piece of eraser, Grandpa twisted his body and jumped up and down, running like a dog with its tail clamped, which made the villagers laugh. A look of wanting to catch up, and that triumphant expression made him unforgettable.Every time the future master bumps into Hong Chang, his eyes are always evasive, as if he stole something from him.This feeling penetrates from material to spirit, is a kind of sublimation in time, and is obtained from chewing and tasting again and again.During the time, he discovered the mystery of giving and taking, that is, no matter how small things are, giving is superior, just like Hong Chang's face; while taking is humble, and taking is always at a psychological disadvantage.What you give to others and what you take from others.It felt absolutely different, there was a fundamental difference in the relationship.This imprint accompanied him through the six years of primary school, during which he learned and used these characters to appreciate and enrich his feelings.He recognizes characters by feeling, so he recognizes characters very quickly, and his ability to learn characters is also extraordinary.

During these six years, he used a total of 18,346 cigarette pack papers, and the smell of cigarettes accompanied him for many days and nights.His homework on cigarette packs is unique in Dalizhuang Primary School, and his nickname has changed several times in Dalizhuang Primary School. For a while, the students called him "Red Tin Bao", and for a while, they called him "Baibao", some people call him "Baiheqiao", some people call him "Hardman", and some people call him "Pegasus", all of which are cigarette brands.So all the teachers knew him, and they all knew that there was a student named Li Jinkui in this village.His homework books on cigarette packs are often placed on top of a stack of homework books because they are not of the right size. Every teacher can’t help but look twice when correcting homework. First, turn over to look at the pattern on the cigarette pack , Then I went to correct the homework written on the cigarette pack paper, and I was very careful when correcting.If there is a mistake, the teacher must explain it in class the next day. At this time, the teacher is very excited. The teacher stands on the podium and "wow, wow" and raises the homework covered by the cigarette pack. Ben, said loudly: "Students, see how this question is wrong? Why is it wrong, two decimal points?!..." The students looked at the colorful cigarette paper flying over the podium. Can't help but roar with laughter again!In this way, the cigarette paper made him the laughingstock of the students in Dalizhuang Primary School, and the cigarette paper also made him famous in Xiaolizhuang Primary School.When he graduated, Li Jinkui was the only one in the entire Dalizhuang Primary School who was admitted to the County No. 1 Middle School.

This is the triumph of cigarette pack paper. In the summer of that year, when the notice was issued, Li Jinkui was mowing grass in the field.Li Jinkui walked up and said, "Baby, I passed the exam. We passed the exam." Li Jinkui was squatting naked in the cornfield, holding a small shovel in his hand, covered in sweat.He picked up his head and looked at Grandpa standing on the edge of the field, then took off the rotten trousers from the corn tree, put them on in a hurry, twisted his waist, and jumped out cheerfully, "Grandpa, it's the county town, right?" Bound the piece of paper in his hand and said, "Yes. Glory! Just you. Go, go to the city to announce the good news to your cousin!" Li Jinkui was stunned for a moment, but slowly took off the trousers He was still hanging on the corn stalk, squatted down in the field, and said, "Grandpa, I won't go."

He tied his hands and set up an awning to look at his grandson's lower body, and said with a smile, "What? Is the duckling big?" Li Jinkui blushed, and couldn't help but chattered again, saying, "No, I won't go." Zhuo said: "Look at this baby, look at your baby..." Jie only said a few words, and then stopped, the grandson's eyes were looking at him.Under the sun, on the edge of the ground, there was a little black clay figurine.The eyes are very poisonous, and the light stings people, just looking at it makes me look down.Scratching his head, he said embarrassingly, "If you don't want to go, then don't go." After a while, he said again: "The team in front of us gave us two trees, and the price is 80, and I haven't paid it yet..."

During that summer, Jie had been following the new captain Li Daya, nagging him, "Captain, that tree, that tree is a good tree, shouldn't it be given?" Li Daya's favorite thing is to ring the bell. Every day, he stands under the old pagoda tree with an old clock hanging on it at the head of the village, and rings the big rusty bell vigorously to let people go to work in the fields.After Li Daya rang the bell, he only gave him one word, Li Daya said: "Bug!" Bundle said: "Tie it, that tree, you have knotted it." Li Daya is still a word: "worm!"

With a stammering smile, he rubbed his body to say good things to the captain, offered another cigarette, and said, "It's clear that it's a good deal, but if you say it's wheat, then that tree..." In a hurry, Li Daya bared his yellow teeth and said, "Bug!! What's going on? There's no money in the team." In a hurry, he said, "Isn't there a price for cigarettes? I said I would pay for it. Why didn't I give it?" Li Daya threw down a sentence: "You sue me!" After saying that, he turned his head and left. Jie still smiled and followed the captain's surrender...

During that summer vacation, Li Jinkui, a grass mower, was afraid to walk in the village streets.He always had to make a big detour when he carried the straw bales home, because he was afraid of meeting his grandfather on the village street.Since he ran into it a few times, he never passed through the village street again.He saw the captain Li Daya stroking his master's head more than once. He always stood in front of the tall Li Daya like a child. You old bastard! You are staring at the wine. Don’t I know you yet? Have you settled your debt to Hong Chang?” My grandfather was small, and he made him spin like a spinning top in front of him, but he still Smiling, Grandpa smiled and said: "Don't mess around, don't mess with your uncle... That tree, it's still knotted."

It was only later that he found out that the master indeed owed the wine account of Hong Chang's consignment store.He always secretly drank wine on credit at Hong Chang's. It was the kind of sweet potato dry wine that cost five cents a tael. Got a lot of wine debts.Hong Chang and Li Daya are in-laws, and if Hong Chang doesn't speak, Li Daya will not give it. In the village street in summer, Li Jinkui's eyes were tingling with pain.His white head always appeared in front of his eyes, and his head drooped like a disheveled... He felt that what Li Daya stroked was not only the master's head, but also his. Eyeballs.His eyes hurt.He dared not look.But for the eighty yuan, I still followed behind Li Daya unyieldingly: I always said tirelessly: "This is two different things, Hongchang is Hongchang, and the team is the team..."

So: Li Jinkui cried, crying secretly alone because he had no other choice.He hid in the wheat field and thought silently all night, his face was full of sad tears, there was a moon on his head, a different moon, the moon was big and round, but the moon could not help him at all, the moon was too far away from him. Far.In the middle of the night, he quietly fell into the barn where the grandfather lived, and said to the bundle who was urinating at night: "Grandpa, don't ask for the money anymore. We don't want it." With his back to his grandson, he peed and said, "We don't want it? The tree is ours, so why don't we want it?" He put on his belt, turned around, and said confidently, "Jin Kui, don't worry. If I can come back, I won’t miss your start of school. What Bie’er promised was to procrastinate..." Li Jinkui exhaled lightly, and said silently, "Master, I'll go get it." Bundle looked at his grandson in surprise: "You?" Li Jinkui said, "I'll go." Bie was stunned, and said: "Why don't you let your mother come forward? The mothers are easy to talk to." Li Jinkui repeated, "I'll go." Bundle said: "Do you want to try? You can do it if you try. You are already a student in the county middle school, right?" Bundle said again: "If he wants to scold, let him scold a few words, and the scolding won't grow on you. If he wants to beat you, just cry, roll and cry..." Li Jinkui was silent, he lowered his eyelids, and floated out like a little ghost. Three days later, one morning in a cool breeze, when Captain Li Daya pulled on his shoes, coughed loudly, and hurried to the entrance of the village to ring the bell, he saw a rope tied to the boss tree, and a little man was hanging on the rope. There are a pair of feet under the person, and a pile of broken bricks is lit under the toes. The bricks are staggering, and they are about to fall... Li Daya was startled, and when he took a closer look, the person was actually the grandson of the Bao family—— Li Jinkui! Li Daya was terrified, and hurriedly said: "Jin Kui, baby, you, you, you, you... what are you doing?! Come down, come down quickly." With a pale face, Li Jinkui exhaled softly and said, "Give me money." Li Daya said: "Boy, if you have something to say, you come down first... There is really no money in the team." Li Jinkui, who was hanging, had a "cuckoo" in his throat, grabbed the noose with both hands, let out another breath, and said silently: "I know you don't want to give..." As he said, he kicked with his toes, and the pile of piles under his feet The broken brick "suddenly" fell down, and a person was hanging from the tree... At this time, Li Daya's face turned pale!As soon as it was time to go to work, the villagers were about to rush out. At that time, everyone in the village would say that he was forcing a baby to hang himself!At that time, he couldn't speak clearly even though his mouth was all over his body... He rushed forward and hugged Li Jinkui's legs, and said repeatedly: "I'll give it to me...I'll give it right away!" With support under him, Li Jinkui let out another breath, and murmured, "Are you really giving it?" Unexpectedly, Li Daya started to cry. He opened his mouth wide, his nose burst into tears and he said, "I really do. If I don't, I'm a grandson, you are a master, come down!" Li Jinkui said again: "Don't stroke my grandfather's head..." Li Daya said: "I won't stroke, I won't stroke again, you just need to come down..." Li Jinkui said: "If you stroke my master's head again, I will die at the gate of your house. Do you believe it?" Li Daya hurriedly said: "I believe it. I believe it!" At this moment, Li Jinkui was stunned.Even he himself didn't believe that the matter was solved, just so simple? ! ... Afterwards, what surprised him was that a rope could have so much strength? !Grandpa ran away for a whole summer and didn't get the money back. Seeing that there was nothing he could do, he had nothing to do.The sky can't help him, the earth can't help him, father, mother, father, no one can help him, he has nowhere to go.In fact, he was very afraid of Li Daya, he was afraid that he was scared to the limit, and his heart was shaking to the limit.Li Daya is as wild as a red-headed bull.In the village, there was no one he dared not scold, and no one he dared not deal with.Among the ten teams that Da Li Zhuang belongs to, he is the most powerful captain!But, but, a rope creates a way.It was just a straw rope, a rope used for binding grass, the rope seems useless here, the rope is powerless, and the rope is just a loop, hanging on the tree... So, there is no way It became a solution.This dream-like process was something he could never use in his life. It was only after the incident that he discovered that a rope can produce a certain force, and a rope can also produce a method. It is also a kind of experience from death to life.Thus, the thirteen years and the feelings of the thirteen years were strung together at this moment, a kind of re-understanding of people and nature, a kind of epiphany of life.At that time, he ran to the field in one breath, lay on the grass, looked at the blue sky, and cried out with tears in his eyes: "O grass, O grass that lives and dies!" After the summer, when Li Jinkui went to the county middle school excitedly with his bedroll on his back and the eighty yuan he wanted in his pocket, he also carried away a kind of fearless pride. Along the way, he chattered and said to his grandson: "Be careful when you go to the city. The people in the city are weird. If you have any difficulties, you can go to your cousin. Your aunt's family is rich..." Li Jinkui didn't say a word, just walked silently.When he came to the market in the city, Li Jinkui said suddenly, "Master, sit down and rest your feet." Bie said, "I can't smell the fragrance, it burns my eyes." Li Jinkui tugged him and said, "You, Sit down." Zhuo said, "Take a rest and rest." He sat down in front of a restaurant.I saw my grandson walking over dignifiedly, and within a short time, two plates of fried buns, two bowls of meat and spicy soup, four liang of shochu, and a plate of peanuts were brought in. I looked at my grandson in a daze, and was about to say something. I saw the grandson put the bedroll on his back again and said, "Master, eat slowly, I'm going." Bie stared blankly at his grandson, and cried out with tears in his eyes, "Jin Kui..." Li Jinkui turned around and said, "Master, I gave you the money, you can eat."
