Chapter 7 Let's go to the sea

When I washed my face, I also put the ball in the washbasin and washed it with soap. The ball was white and the water in the basin was black.I put the ball in my schoolbag, when Mama Song came in to change the wash water, she said "Yo", pointed to the washbasin and said: "This is your face? How clean it is!" "It's cleaner than your stinky feet!" I laughed after I finished speaking.I don't know why I thought of Song Ma's feet, probably because her feet were bound too tightly.Mom said it stinks in there. Song Ma also laughed, and she said: "You have a sharp mouth, don't you? Don't cry if you can't bite the biscuits!"

Not being able to bite the biscuits is really a painful thing for me to eat breakfast every morning.My big teeth were all moth-eaten, and two of the front ones fell out, and the new ones hadn't grown yet, so I couldn't eat the sesame seed cakes and twists to my heart's content.In order to eat breakfast slowly, I was late; I cried in pain because I encountered a tooth decay while eating.Then I would rather eat nothing and go to school hungry. I hung my schoolbag on my shoulders and went to school by myself.Exit Xinlianzi Hutong and walk straight to the city gate. Although the Xinghua Gate has been opened, it has not yet been completed. Layers of bricks and soil have been piled up inside and outside the city gate. Vehicles are not allowed to pass, only people can pass through.The morning sun shone on the dirt slope, and when I walked up the dirt slope, the sun shone all over my body. Although I didn’t eat breakfast, I was very comfortable. I just stood on the dirt slope for a while, watching the pedestrians coming and going.Holding the schoolbag in his hand and touching the bulging ball, he couldn't help but think of the scene in the empty grass, that man with thick lips, what is he doing?After thinking about it for a while, I walked down the dirt slope, walked out of Xinghua Gate, and arrived at the school soon.

The fifth-grade scouts guard the school gates, what a fierce look they are!But how enviable!When can I be a Boy Scout? "What's in the bag?" Scout asked, pointing to my bag.I was taken aback. "It's the ball, return it to Liu Ping." I was a little trembling when I spoke, I was really afraid of them. Scout was nice to me, he didn't check, waved his hand and let me in.I saw him find broad beans and hawthorn candies from other students' trouser pockets, and confiscated them all.No food is allowed. When I entered the classroom, I took out the ball and gave it to Liu Ping. He was stunned and probably forgot, so I said:

"It was the ball you threw that day!" He remembered it now, and happily took it without saying thank you. Some students were making noise. They said that the whole school will hold a fun party to send off the graduates. In the auditorium, each class will perform a performance in the fun party. The noisy one is what will our class perform?I wonder, where did they get their news?How come I don't know these things?When we were in class, sure enough, the teacher told us that the students in the first and second grades could not perform the whole drama or something, so they had to sing and dance.Teacher Han, who teaches dancing and singing, has to select a few students from the first, second, and third grades to sing "The Sparrow and the Child" together.what!What a beautiful song and dance that is!Who will the teacher choose?Will you choose me?My heart is beating because I love Teacher Han!She is the daughter of our director Xiao Han.In winter, she wore a taupe-colored cheongsam trimmed with white rabbit fur. She taught us how to dance in the auditorium. When she pulled the hoop, she happened to hold my hand.Her hands are hot and soft, how I like her, does she like me? ... "...and Lin Yingzi, who is a little sparrow."

what!I'm still dreaming, I don't hear anything, what?Are you really calling my name? "Lin Yingzi, from tomorrow onwards, you have to go home later after class. Teacher Han will teach you every day. Go to the classroom of the top three. Do you understand? Remember, tell your family." I just feel my face is hot, I'm so happy, how envious my classmates will be!I went to dance with my classmates in the third grade. Although I was a little sparrow, I just flew around and didn't want to sing. I feel that time flies really slowly, because I have to go home and tell my mother, don't tell Smelly Song's mother, she will definitely bring her sister to the funfair, so I don't want her to come!When get out of class was over, my classmates surrounded me and asked me what clothes I was wearing on the day of the dance?Are you afraid?The female classmates all ran over and hugged me, as if I was a good friend of each of them.It was finally time to go home for lunch after school, so I quickened my pace and walked out ahead of my classmates.After entering Xinghua Gate, passing through the high and low slopes, and walking for a short distance, you will enter Xinlianzi Hutong.The third house in the alley is a big house. The door is usually closed tightly, but today it is rarely opened. There are many people around the door, and the police have also come. I don’t know what is going on.But I still have to go to school in the afternoon, so I can't squeeze into the crowd to watch, so I hurried home.

Song's mother was talking to her out of breath, and her mother stared in surprise, shook her head, and sneered. "This time it's a big deal. Thirty pieces have been stolen. It's probably because yesterday I took them out to dry the clothes, and the thief caught them." "How can you see it from the outside? Isn't it the one at the black gate?" ? I rarely see them open the door when I pass by, it’s always gloomy.” "As soon as the gate was opened today, we saw that it was really a pomegranate goldfish tank with a canopy. The yard is so bright!" "What's going on now?"

"The police are checking there! Let's go, Zhuzhu, let's look again," Song's mother led the little sister, and turned to see me, "Xiaoyingzi, are you going to watch the fun?" "It's lively? They lost so many things, how anxious they are, and you still say it's lively!" I pouted at her. "Good intentions are not rewarded!" Song Ma finally carried her sister away again. I told my mother at the dinner table that I participated in the performance of "The Sparrow and the Child". My mother was very happy, and she said she would sew me the most beautiful dance dress.I said, "Lock it in the box after you sew it, don't be stolen by thieves!"

"No, don't say such sad words!" Mom said. I couldn't help but asked my mother again: "Mom, the thief stole something, where did he put it?" "Sell those things to the people who specialize in stealing." "What kind of person is a person who collects stolen goods?" "People are all the same, no one is engraved on the forehead which is a thief and which is not." "So I don't understand!" I was wondering something in my mind. "There are so many things you don't understand! Go to school, my little girl!"

Mom speaks so fluently in Beijing, but I smiled: "Mom, it's a silly girl, silly, 'shiya' is stupid, not 'Shuya'. My mother!" I ran away quickly after I finished speaking .
