After waiting for the start of school, while it was still dark, Qiu Yulin, with her iron will, crawled out of her not-so-warm bed.
She didn't even have a piece of cotton clothing, and she sighed with worry. Then she heard Qiu's mother say that after all the good cotton buds were picked, the cotton buds would belong to the team, and each family could get some.
Okay, when the time comes she will exchange points from the system mall and try to add some in.
After rubbing her face with cold water, Qiu Yuling didn't hear clearly what her mother Qiu said at the door frame. She ran into the cold wind with her arms tucked in.
In the northwest in October, the cold wind is as sharp as a knife. She has to run to avoid feeling so cold.
While she was running, she was not paying attention when her clothes were grabbed from the back of her neck. Qiu Yuling reflexively pulled her arm over and was about to throw her over her shoulder, when she heard her third brother's voice ringing in her ears.
"Why are you running so fast? Mom cooked an egg for you, but you didn't respond no matter how I called you." As she said that, she stuffed the egg into Qiu Yuling's hand, freed her hand and rubbed her slightly dense hair.
"Come on, I'll carry you over." Qiu Dashu said as he squatted down in front of Qiu Yuling.
What a joke! Qiu Yuling runs so many times every day for a purpose. What will happen to her energy if she is carried to school?
She had no choice but to tell her third brother, "No, it's not cold even when you're running. If I let you carry the light on my back and block the wind for me, I'll freeze to death."
Her Ninja was acting like a spoiled little girl, acting coquettishly and being "ungrateful". Qiu Dashu thought about it and realized that it was the case, so he did not insist any more. He told her to take the eggs as a snack on the way, eat them in advance, and not bring them into school.
Not daring to delay, he waved his hand and let Qiu Yuling run away.
The egg in Qiu Yuling's hand was still warm. She saw Qiu's mother adding water to boil eggs in the kitchen in the morning. She pretended to be in a hurry and didn't notice and went for a walk. Qiu's mother's shouting followed her with the wind, and she pretended not to hear it, but she was caught up in the end.
Ah, sweet burden!
She couldn't let this thoughtful gesture go to waste. The egg was no longer warm in her hand, so she rubbed it skillfully in her palm, peeling off large pieces of eggshell. She finished it in just a few bites, choking in the northwest wind and rolling her eyes.
He pretended to take out a military water bottle, smuggled the goat's milk in the space into it, and drank a few big mouthfuls before he caught his breath.
She is no longer the new Zhou Xiaolin. She has been Qiu Yuling for more than half a year. From being resentful at the beginning, she has adapted "well" now. Although she no longer craves eggs, she still tastes the flavor of love.
It would be great if she could marry an adult and exchange some things for something to get away with it. But with her small body now, she found that the prey she ate one after another had become quite lucky. Even to her family members who were good to her, she still didn't dare to reveal anything.
As her pace slowed down, the cold wind rushed into her chest through her collar. She had no choice but to run again. She had to earn more energy to exchange for some pigs, cattle and sheep, and get some furs to keep warm. Otherwise, how would she survive this winter?
I was thinking about something and entered the school unknowingly. There were only a few people there. They were in the same classroom with the third grade. There were more first graders, and only two students in the third grade.
Needless to say, they were all left at home to do work. This classroom was quite good, as it was converted from the ancestral hall of a wealthy family. It was drafty on all sides, but it couldn't withstand the cold weather.
There was a charcoal basin in the classroom, but there was no charcoal. She was worried that what was burning in it was half-wet red willow roots, no wonder there was so much smoke.
Although it was cold, she moved to the side and sat by the window. There was nothing she could do; the smoke was making her cry.
Those who came to school at this time were not too playful. Although there were few people in the classroom, they all held their textbooks consciously. Qiu Yuling didn't see Li Xiaojuan, and guessed that she really didn't have to go to school.
The night before last, I heard Qiu's mother complaining that Li Xiaojuan's mother had no milk and went out to earn work points before she was out of confinement. Otherwise, the child would have starved to death. Li Xiaojuan stayed at home to take care of the child. Her grandmother said that whoever gave birth should take care of the child, so that was the only way.
There are three teachers and staff in the school. The principal and his wife are teachers, and there is a lame old soldier who works as a handyman.
The principal teaches mathematics and the principal's wife teaches Chinese. They are the substitute teachers from first grade to fifth grade.
After listening to the first grade class, Qiu Yuling listened to the third grade class. As for homework, she showed gradual progress and was able to occasionally follow the third graders in doing some of it. In the eyes of the principal and his wife, she was a rare good seedling.
It was almost eleven o'clock, and as the sun came out, the weather instantly became warm. This is how it is in the Northwest. It feels warm when there is a little sunshine, and it feels cool when you hide in the shade.
No matter how sensible they are, they are still children. As soon as the Chinese teacher announced the end of get out of class, the children rushed into the yard shouting.
Some people dig out urine from the kang. They stick a small stick on a small pile of earth, and then play rock-paper-scissors to decide who will dig it out first. When they first start digging out the earth, they are quite brave.
But in the end, there was only a little bit of dirt around the stick, so you had to be extra careful. Whoever made the stick fall first would lose, and her friends would start to make a fuss, saying that she had wet the kang.
Qiu Yuling thought it was childish and refused to participate!
There is also sandbag throwing, which is played by a group of people together. Draw a super big square, divide the people into two groups with the palms and backs of their hands, and the losers of the rock-paper-scissors game stand on both sides, while the other group stands in the middle, and the people on both sides throw sandbags at the people in the middle.
If the sandbag hits one of them and she doesn't catch it, she is "dead" and has to go down, then there will be one less person left in their group. If someone catches the sandbag, they can revive the person who was just "killed", and so on until the last one is also "killed", and then the two people who hit the pockets will take the stage.
Hitting sandbags may seem simple, but there is still strategy involved, just like the feint in football. Sometimes you can't tell which direction the player wants to dribble the ball, so the person receiving the ball must be able to adapt to the situation.
This is a good exercise to stretch the body. In order to appear less out of place, Qiu Yuling did not refuse this time.
Apart from the slight pain from the sandbags hitting her body, everything was fine. She seemed to have really returned to her happy childhood. The bell rang for class, and Qiu Yuling rubbed her red forehead, secretly remembering the little brat who had just hit her.
It was "Bully Li" from the fourth grade in the next classroom. Qiu Yuling secretly asked the person sitting behind her and found out that his name was Li Hongjun and his family lived in the town.
I secretly thought, "Auntie will remember you. Next time, if I don't beat you until your teeth are all gone, I will let your child take my surname"!
Qiu Yuling was rarely absent, and the teacher called on her. She glanced at the blackboard, forgetting to hide her abilities, and solved a third-grade problem...
