Running children

Grandma Zhao lay in bed and couldn't sleep. At four or five o 'clock in the morning, as soon as she closed her eyes, a rooster crowed outside her window. She reached out and pulled at the cord beside the bed to turn on the light. The dim light of incandescent lamps scattered across the room.

She dressed herself and pushed the door out. Two silly grunts came from the east window. It was dark outside, and a few stars in the sky were shining.

After she washed up, she cooked breakfast for silly in the kitchen. Two silly early in the morning to work with Xue Changshun to zhengzhou construction site.

Xue Changshun, a bricklayer, bought a 21-inch color TV when he returned home last year after earning a fortune working on a construction site in Zhengzhou. In his cuanduo two silly decision to work with him in the city, to earn money to buy a color TV, and then renovate the house, let Zhao grandma and show yun live a good life.

Zhao grandma support two silly idea, but reluctant to let him go. When she thought of her son leaving home to work in the city soon after his marriage, she was very unhappy.

In the past, few villagers went to work in the city, and their bulging wallets were envied when they returned home for the Spring Festival. The original city work far more than farming money! So the young and strong of the village left for the city. They toil on construction sites, sell fruits and vegetables on the streets, or sweep the streets as sanitation workers. They live silently under the tall buildings of the city with various dreams. Working in cities has become an overwhelming trend, dragging many villagers into the urban maelstrom.

The sky was pale and pale, and the rooster was craning his neck and crowing.

In the kitchen, Zhao made two bowls of egg noodles, which Er Silly liked to eat, and boiled six eggs for him to take away to eat when he was hungry. She came out of the kitchen, wiping her wet hands with a rag, and looked up at the dim morning sky.

"Fool, it's time to get up! Changshun will call for you in a moment." "She whispered as she walked to the window of silly's bedroom.

Two silly's snore suddenly stopped. He rubbed his eyes and said sleepily, "Mom, what time is it?"

"It's not six o 'clock yet."

"Oh, I must get up quickly."

Two silly are eating egg noodles, Xue Changshun carrying luggage at the door to call him. He immediately put down his bowl, wiped his greasy mouth with his right hand, and got up to shoulder his luggage.

"Mom, I'm leaving now. You must eat, drink and sleep well, and take care of Xiujuan. I will come back to help you when wheat is harvested." He said as he walked.

"Well, fool, take these six boiled eggs and eat them on the way." Zhao handed him a boiled egg in a plastic bag.

The morning light bathed the village, and sparrows twittered in the young leaves. The sky is as clear as water, and a few clouds float lightly in the air.

Xue Lao Liu pushed a tricycle along the street to sell: "sell tofu, sell cold flour, sell bean sprout!" He used to sell only tofu, but now he has added cold noodles and bean sprouts.

I had breakfast carrying a bag to go to school, just walked to two silly door then looked at Zhao grandma standing in the yard scowling.

Xiujuan sat at the table, mumbling, "Where are you? What did two fools do?" The food in front of her was cold.

"Grandma Zhao, two silly uncle gone?" I asked, standing in the doorway.

'Yes, very early this morning.' Grandma Zhao's face turned to me and said, "Alas, two silly away, show Juan also refused to eat."

"Oh, I also loathe to give up two silly uncle walk." I had a sad look.

"Well, you have to go to school and work in the city when you grow up."

"I don't want to go."

"Oh, I forgot. Two fools made a kite for you last night after dinner." Grandma Zhao said as she went into the house and took out an eagle-shaped kite. The eyes and feathers were painted in ink on the kite to make it look lifelike.

"It's a black hawk kite. I like it very much." I took the kite and said.

"Family tree, hurry to school. Don't be late. The kite is in my room until you come and get it after school."

"All right." I handed the kite to Grandma Zhao, then turned to Xiujuan and said, "Aunt Xiujuan, uncle Silly went to the market to buy new clothes for you. You eat quickly, or you'll starve to death. He will be very sad when he comes back and sees it."

Xiu Juan raised his eyes looked at me, picked up chopsticks, picked up the rice bowl said: "I want to finish this bowl of rice, waiting for two silly back." She began to stammer.

As I walked to the street corner, I saw Ma Baocai and two villagers squatting in the morning light, chatting and smoking. I walked past them and heard their chatter quite clearly.

"Changshun and two silly this morning to work in Zhengzhou. Building a house changshun is an expert, two silly can do nothing, to the city what?"

"Two silly young has the strength, in the construction site can move brick, carry mud, carry steel bars, dry some of the hard and tired work."

"He ah, really have strength, night on the bed like a tiger, will show Juan inserted yiao disorderly call, a street of people can hear. Well, there are only dead cows, not bad fields." Ma Baocai cigarette, face exposed evil smile.

"Treasure treasure, did you sneak under somebody else's bed to peep again?"

"No, if I get under somebody's bed again, I'll go to prison again. I really don't want to go back to prison. Oh, I'm still an old virgin!" Ma Baocai said with a big mouth.

"Who can prove you are old virgin, god knows!" "One of the villagers laughed.

"Believe it or not."

"Treasure treasure, you that year exactly is why be arrested into prison, I can not hear you personally said."

"Oh, don't mention it. I hid in the ladies 'room and grabbed a woman without even kissing her. My fate was so bad that I was sentenced to hooliganism and spent three years in prison during the severe crackdown."

"You deserve it. Three years in prison would be leniency for you. I think you should be paraded out and shot for molesting women."

Hardly had I entered the classroom when the bell rang.

Zheng teacher holding the Chinese textbook onto the platform. Her face smelled faintly of skin cream. She wore a long Burgundy sweater and black heels. There are no such clothes as she wears in our luwan market.

She turned to the blackboard and wrote down some common related words for us to make sentences. We hold the pencil and make sentences on the book. She walked around the classroom with a cascade of black hair and silver earrings that glistened in the sun.

When I read "Only... Just..." This group of related words, inspiration in the book wrote "only eat more meat, in order to gain weight."

Ms. Zheng came to me and stopped, looking at my book.

"Family tree, you must eat more meat to gain weight. Make up a better sentence!" "She smiled.

I eraser the sentence in my book, scratch my head and write: "Only eat fat, will have more strength."

After school in the afternoon, Liu Yajun and I in the wheat field two silly gave me the kite into the high sky.

I clung to the string of the kite in the green wheat field cheering, running.

As the sun went down, the twilight was like a great beast, gradually devouring wheat fields and villages.
