Once you get the textbooks for the new semester, the first day of school will be completed.
The stumps left by the original trees of the school were long gone, all of them were replanted saplings. These saplings are assigned to each class to manage, and Li Xiaoyu’s class is also assigned ten saplings, which are called ‘responsibility trees’.
After walking around the school and having a preliminary understanding of the school, Li Xiaoyu and Li Chengyi walked back to their small courtyard.
As soon as Li Xiaoyu entered the gate of the courtyard, he saw his grandfather lying on the horse stand, breathing clouds and mist comfortably. The horse shelf is a reclining chair made of bamboo blocks, which can be raised and lowered, and is the best tool for cooling in summer.
“Grandpa, are you smoking too much? No one cares if you run out of food!”
Li Xiaoyu didn’t want Grandpa Li to smoke too much cigarettes. Too much stuff would be bad for his health. They are all in their seventies, and they are already living a long life in this era, but they can’t be ruined by smoking too much.
Grandpa Li, who was smoking happily, heard his little granddaughter say that no one would care if he ran out of food, so how could he do it? There are so few little hobbies in my life, but I can’t let my little granddaughter break it.
“I really didn’t smoke much, just started smoking the first shot, you guys came back!”
“Grandpa, you’re not telling the truth! You smell the yard, you have to smoke at least three cigarettes.”
Grandpa Li, who was told the truth, was very helpless to this little granddaughter. Every time she secretly smokes, she will be caught by her, even if you want to smoke more cigarettes when you are old, alas! Grandpa Li let out a long sigh, pretended to be pitiful, and secretly glanced at his little granddaughter.
“Grandpa, you’re doing this trick again, it’s boring if you use it too much! Grandpa, it’s hard to get tobacco leaves now, you can save your smoking, don’t really break it by then. It’s gone this year, don’t blame me for not having it. Tell you!”
Li Xiaoyu decided to reduce the amount of tobacco leaves for Grandpa Li from now on. This year, he is not going to give it to him. Let him smell the smell of tobacco pimples every day.
Grandpa Li immediately collapsed when he heard that this year’s tobacco leaves were gone. Thinking of the small half of the tobacco leaves he still had left, he couldn’t help but feel fortunate that when he left, he didn’t leave it all generously for the fifth brother, but just gave him a few tobacco leaves. Fortunately, fortunately!
Grandpa Li carefully checked the back of his cigarette holder, calculating in his heart how to smoke without saving too much. After doing the calculations, I finally found that only by drawing one a day can we continue to feed.
And this is what Li Xiaoyu wanted. Grandpa Li later smoked a cigarette divided into three cigarettes. He wanted to smoke in a panic, so he took a cigarette and wrapped it in paper, and it was another cigarette.
You have to save some cigarette scars like this, otherwise you can only smell the back of the cigarette clip.
Li Xiaoyu and Li Chengyi took over the job of cooking at home. Although they wouldn’t eat very well, they could make the whole family full.
At noon, Li’s father brought Li’s mother back, and Li’s mother’s face was filled with a bright smile.
“Old man, mom has dinner!” Li Xiaoyu shouted loudly when she heard the bell of the bicycle and knew who was coming back without looking.
“What else is there to do, let Mom do it.” Li Ma walked into the kitchen and saw that the two children were sweating profusely, and hurriedly took the spoon in Li Xiaoyu’s hand.
“After scooping this bowl, you can eat, Mom, how is your first day at work today?”
“It’s good. I’m in the logistics department. Qin Mei took me there. I didn’t expect that she was also the director of the logistics department. The people there are very easy to get along with.”
“It’s good to get along well, as long as you like it, Mom.”
Li Xiaoyu couldn’t help laughing secretly, her mother is really simple, she really thought that those people were easy to get along with, and they didn’t look at Qin Mei’s face.
“Old man, will you go home for lunch in the future?”
“Go home to eat, it’s too big to take with you, and it’s not far to go back and forth by bicycle, and you can also pick up your mother by the way.”
Ha ha! This is your main purpose, old man! If you want to pick up your mother, just say it, find such an excuse!
“By the way, old man, there is one more thing, you have to come back with some medicinal powder. You can see that our family’s skin color is healthy and normal, which is very different from the people on the street. We can’t go on like this.”
“Yes, Dad, you don’t know that many people in the school are like this, and some people are obviously fatter than before.” Li Chengji said to Li’s father.
“That’s not fat, it’s edema, caused by severe lack of nutrition.”
Li Xiaoyu remembered that when he went out in the morning, most of the people he met along the way had pale faces and vain steps, which was too different from his own family.
At this time, even the landlord’s house has no surplus food, so he can’t let his family be on the cusp of the storm.
“I also noticed what you said, and brought the medicine back at night.”
After dinner, Li’s father and Li’s mother went to work, and Li Chengji went to school. The noon sun is very strong, and even the sound made by Zhi is lazy and lacks energy.
Although the room was not exposed to sunlight, the temperature was still very high. It’s already September, and it’s still so hot, there’s no sign of rain.
Li Xiaoyu pulled out a lame table in the kitchen, ready to remove it and cover it over the well.
“Little girl, what are you doing with this rotten table?” Li Chengyi was very curious, this table has become like this, what’s the use?
“Third brother, come and help, remove this table top and cover it on the wellhead, otherwise the water will evaporate too quickly and the house will run out of water.”
Li Chengyi took the table, went to the side and beat it, and finally removed the table and put it on the well.
The well water is barely enough for the family. At night, Li Xiaoyu will sneak some well water into the space when no one is there. Otherwise, with the current level of drought, the water in the well would have bottomed out long ago.
Other families with wells on the street only have enough water for a family to eat every day, and all the water they use is drawn from a river that passes through the county town not far away.
The water in the creek has almost bottomed out due to the drought and the increased water consumption of the surrounding residents. Every once in a while, there will be a newly dug pit, and the water can only be taken from the pit. The water is not very clear, and it has to be clear when it is brought home.
“Third brother, do you want your book to be covered?” Li Xiaoyu wrapped all her books in kraft paper and asked Li Chengyi again.
“If you don’t pack it, it will be old anyway, so why pack it!”
Okay, if you say no, no package!
Li Xiaoyu put away her book and went into the wing, closed the door and dodged into the space. The buns and red glutinous rice in the space matured again, and Li Xiaoyu had to resign to work.
After finishing the work in the space, she lay on the ground tiredly and muttered to herself, “I’m so tired, when can I just stop doing it!”
The idea attracted the well water to drink, so that he had the strength to get up and sighed out of the space.
In the kitchen, Li Chengyi is thinking about what to have for dinner? All I have in the kitchen are whole grains and red glutinous rice. I eat these things every day. I don’t say anything, and I still have heartburn and saliva.
