It's okay, Mo Tong is picky about eating.The school's meat dishes had little meat in them, so he still had to pick and choose, looking for those parts without fat and fluffy soft meat to eat.Shao Gan only discovered these after he pulled him up to train together.Just like now, Mo Tong angrily picked up two pieces of fat from his rice bowl, threw them into Shao Gan's lunch box, and said angrily: "This must be the meat from the pig's neck, you can bite it even if you bite it." No move. The people in the school cafeteria only know how to make money, and they only buy the worst things when they buy things. Last time I saw someone pull a cart full of cabbage leaves."

Before winter in the north, the cabbage harvest is abundant.Because there are too many strands (fibers) in the old leaves, the outer leaves are not necessary. Only the hard heart inside is peeled off.Poor people will pick it up and eat it as a vegetable, and it can be eaten for a whole winter after being pickled.When rich people buy the cabbage, they have to peel several layers to make the cabbage taste more refreshing.

Listening to his complaints, Shao Gan quietly gnawed on the yellow noodle steamed bread and boiled radish he bought.Gradually getting acquainted with the school, Shao Gan found that he was not the only poor person.A few times when he came late to save money on meal tickets, he encountered a girl who was dressed in the same indecent clothes as him, bowed her head and scrambled for food.Some students don't like to brush lunch boxes, so they use the tableware in the canteen to save trouble.The leftovers in the tableware that were not taken away in time are all her goals.

Shao Gan bumped into him, and when the girl looked over in a panic, he hurriedly lowered his head and pretended not to notice, hurried past.Shao Gan couldn't imagine how poor he had to be to dig through other people's leftover food like a beggar regardless of his dignity.No, it's not unimaginable.If he didn't have the support of Shao An working hard from dawn to dusk, maybe he would give up his dignity because of hunger one day.

This incident touched him greatly.He bumped into her twice, so he missed the time, and gradually accompanied Mo Tong to the dining hall earlier.He didn't know if others knew, or just pretended not to know like him.Even knowing that there were poor people, he didn't feel much easier.If possible, he hopes that he can buy food and go out to find a quiet place to eat.However, Mo Tong has always asked the two of them to eat together, saying that it is convenient for them to continue training after eating.In fact, what else can you train after eating?

But the habit is always terrible, that is, in just a few days, Shao Gan developed the habit of picking up rice (Mo Tong always likes to leave some food, no matter whether it is good or not, he always leaves a bottom of the bowl. Of course, there are currently deliberate The habit of leaving some for Shao Gan to eat).Mo Tong was very helpful to Shao Gan's good temper, because he was very excited to have such a friend who he could flatten and round at will.

He Dong raised his eyebrows and mocked, "Cabbage leaves are also vegetables. During the great famine, let alone cabbage bangzi, even the cabbage roots are eager to eat."

Mo Tong pouted, turned to Shao Gan and said, "We're not famine now, are we?"

Shao Gan nodded, and Mo Tong twitched his chin and smiled contentedly.He Dong rolled his eyes to see the fat on the chopsticks, and felt no appetite, so he threw it into Shaogan's bowl.Mo Tong picked it up with his chopsticks and threw it back, "Do you think Shao Gan is a trash can?"

"Fuck, what's wrong with feeding my buddies what I don't eat?"

"He's also my buddy now." Mo Tong poured the leftover noodle soup full of lumps into Shaogan's bowl, "Brother Shaogan, help me drink it."

As soon as Shao Gan raised his head, he snorted and drank, and ate the last chopsticks of boiled white radish on his plate, and started to clean up the dishes.Mo Tong shrugged his shoulders and smiled, took the lunch box from him and tacitly ran to the sink in the corner of the restaurant to wash it, and then washed his hands after Shao Gan came over.Mo Tong held the cloth bag for the lunch box and waited for him to clean it up and put it in, holding a pair of bags in his hand.

The gauze wrapped in his hand has been replaced with a Band-Aid of a color similar to his skin tone, and he has not mentioned the injury to He Dong.He Dongzhong came to play with them after a few days, which coincided with the days when the wound on his hand was the worst.

In order not to clean the lunch box, He Dong used the plates from the restaurant.At this time, he folded his arms and stared at Shao Gan with wide eyes, holding back for a long time and shouting sullenly: "Is it buddy! Why didn't I see you clean the rice bowl for me?"

Shao Gan shook off his hands and reached out, "Bring it."

"what?"

"Rice bowl."

He Dong blinked and cursed, "Fuck!"

Mo Tong laughed out loud.On the way back to the classroom, both feet never touched the ground at the same time, bouncing around, like a rabbit who accidentally fell into a pile of carrots.

The school has a small holiday every two weeks and a big holiday once a month.There are two days of small holidays, and there will be no classes from Friday afternoon on the big holidays. There will be two days of weekends in a row, so that it is convenient for children outside the city to go home earlier.

Because Mo Tong didn't go well at school this week, and his mother abnormally didn't visit school, he ran away with his schoolbag as soon as school was over.

Shao An hadn't come to see him at school for almost two weeks. Shao Gan took advantage of Friday's holiday, thinking about the approximate location he asked about the last time we met, and walked to find him.While asking and searching, it was already dark when we got to that street.Fortunately, when Shao Gan was wandering in front of a new building, he saw Shao An, who was hunched over and pulling a cart to transport construction waste.

Shao Gan watched from a distance for a few seconds, then ran over to push the cart behind.The rope on Shao An's shoulders was lightened suddenly, and he turned his head to see that it was Shao Gan. He didn't say anything, but just buried himself in pulling the garbage all the way to the garbage station not too close to the community.On the way back, Shao Gan grabbed the cart and pulled it, and the two brothers walked back slowly.

"I finished it today, and I was just saying I'll find you tomorrow after packing up and telling Mr. Sun." Shao An threw the ashes on his body, "Is there enough money?"

"Enough." Shao Gan thought for a while and said with a smile: "The school will have a sports meeting, and I have applied for long-distance running and high jump and long jump."

"Well, run well." Shao An asked, "Is there a test recently?"

"No, it's the end of the year."

"You have to take the exam well. Uncle He said that you can make up your student status if you pass the exam."

"Ang." Shao Gan glanced at Shao An, who had a layer of gray on his hair, and felt that his life was too carefree.Speaking of which, he is considered an adult, but he is still hiding in the campus by his elder brother.

Shao Gan's face was burning hot, he bowed his head and took a few steps and called out, "Brother."

"Ang." Shao An responded, seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, turned his head to look over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"No, I'll just call."

Shao An frowned, "If you don't have enough money, just tell me, there is more at home."

Shao Gan shook his head, "Enough is enough, let's just say it's not enough."

Shao An stared at him for a few times, and then he was a little relieved.When the two went upstairs, Shao An took half a pancake from behind the door and handed it to him, "Eat it, it's hot."

Just as Sun Min was riding his bike after school, he delivered two cakes.There were two more times in the middle, one was Sun Min himself, and the other was with Sun Jinghong. They both brought him pancakes, and Shao An kept it in mind.The cake stall with eggs at the door sells for [-] cents a piece, which is not cheap.Because of this, he dragged on for a few more days and polished all the corners and corners.The slightly uneven tiles in the kitchen were removed and re-laid, and all the waste in the room was swept out.Now I am preparing to wipe the inside of the house with a cloth, and the work can be handed over tomorrow.

"Brother, you eat."

"I ate one and a half, I'm full." Shao An filled a cement basin with water, found a rag and began to wipe the floor.Shao Gan took a bite and asked, "Why do you make it so clean?"

"The whole family is good, and I gave him a small coal stove to boil water for drinking, and gave me a mattress to sleep on. Good job."

Shao Gan nodded, took a few mouthfuls of the pancake, left the thickest part of the egg, bent down and stuffed it into Shao An's mouth, took the rag in his hand and began to wipe the floor.Shao An paused for a moment before slowly chewing on the pancake in his mouth.

The room was not that big, so the two brothers rubbed their buttocks vigorously, and quickly wiped the floor clean, leaving no trace of plaster.The two brothers lay on a thin mattress, leaning on their respective arms and watching the night sky of the city through the window.Shao An sighed: "Not everything in the city is good, and you can't see stars at night."

"That's because the lights below are too bright. You can see it after nine o'clock."

"Our mother liked watching the stars very much before."

Shao Gan turned his head to look at Shao An, but did not speak quietly.

Shao An rarely mentioned his mother, and every time he mentioned it, it must be when he was touched by something, and his heart was the softest.Shao Gan guessed that the owner of this house was really a kind person, making his brother feel warm in this strange city.

In fact, Shao An was indeed tender.He thanked Sun Jinghong for his trust, for Sun Min's smile and beauty in front of him every time, and for the pancakes she sent for various reasons.To him, Sun Min is like a star in the distance outside the window, dazzling and dazzling, but also so unreal because of the interference of electric lights.

At this age, I yearn for all good things.He wouldn't be so stupid as to take Sun Min's kindness as liking, of course it wouldn't be liking, but Shao An was moved by her kindness.It is true that Shao An is just the age longing to love and be loved. There is a flame in his heart that can melt everything.He was deeply moved by this beautiful and kind girl.However, he would bury this emotion in his heart, and when he opened it after a few years, the girl must still be so fresh and beautiful.

"You should study hard." Long Jiu Shao An said.

"Ah."

"I'm thinking of coming to the city to find work in the future."

Shao Gan looked over in surprise. He knew that his brother's dream had always been to buy a walking tractor, and he had been saving money for this for a long time.

"The wages for construction in the city are very high. During the slack season, you can earn money without delay." Looking at the stars outside the window, Shao An continued, "Our parents and mothers would never have imagined that their son would come to the city to build tall buildings. Ah."

Shao An smiled, but Shao Gan suddenly felt sad, turned his head and secretly wet his eyes.His great elder brother will endure all hardships for himself.Shao Gan thought, he really should do something. "You are still young" cannot be a reason for him not to contribute to this family, let alone, he is an adult.
