Shansi Road

Life or everywhere there is warmth, whenever I think of this matter, my heart is warm.

The winter of 2020 is not unusual. One day, I prepared to go to a supermarket with my grandmother Shansi Road, in the bus station, grandma to see the route sign, I also found a seat to sit down, the weather is really cold, I sat there shivering. After a while, there was a man sitting next to me, his coat on the shoulder, I felt very strange, he is not cold?

"Hello!

I looked up and there was a pregnant aunt, probably in her thirties. Seeing this, two words "give up your seat" come to my mind.

'Oh, sit down! As soon as I stood up, she stopped me.

"I just want you to carry my bag, will you?"

"Of course." I took the bag. This bag is neither big nor heavy. Why would she let me carry it? The man sitting next to me glared at the pregnant woman and left.

The pregnant woman took the bag, sat down and said, "Little friend, where are your parents?"

I pointed to Grandma: "What's wrong?"

"Look in the pocket."

I tilt my head to see, my pocket zipper how to open, I quickly went inside a touch, oh OK, my milk tea money is still in, I am ready to look up to thank, the pregnant woman has gone.

The reason why the man's coat is like this is to block my view, so as to steal money! If it hadn't been for her, I'd have lost my twenty dollars.

The temperature is still cold, looking at the back of my aunt, my heart is warm.

Chinese characters extensive and profound, has a long history, Chinese characters have hundreds of thousands of words, the general primary school students will not be a look, but I read, and found a very interesting word.

One day, I came to school and walked into the classroom. I saw Jin Jingwei reading the dictionary. So I handed in my homework and asked her, "What are you doing?" "I'm looking for a word because I've forgotten how to pronounce it and what it looks like, so I'm reading it one by one." Jin Jingwei said helplessly. I felt very funny, also picked up the dictionary to look through.

Don't look at it doesn't matter, a look scared the dead, in the dictionary to know many words friends, also corrected many words pronunciation. Among them, I found a funny word -- "pig," which in ancient times meant pig. I asked Jin Jing to guess the pronunciation, she didn't know, I told her, and asked Xiao Fei, she was right, "zhi" standard pronunciation, when I told them the meaning, they burst out laughing, and said, "in the future, if another pig, no one will know that we are swearing at others, really scold without dirty word."

Even so, we didn't call other people pigs. Instead, we called ourselves names for the pig. Fei was the great pig, Jin Jingwei was the little pig, and I was the beauty pig.

Although this did not help Jin Jingwei find the word to look for, but we have a funny nickname.

"Chinese characters, vivid image. Spreading civilization is unparalleled in the world." Chinese characters are the carrier of culture, any country, any society, to stability and prosperity, long-term development, must have a healthy culture.
