Chapter 3 Give You Warm Light

He Dong chose the wrong pit. In the end, Shao Gan scooped up the water, but he didn't catch any big fish.There were three red-tailed Yellow River carps that were not too big, and the rest were small fish that were four fingers long.Fortunately, there were a lot of small fish, so Shao Qian carefully threaded them on wicker sticks and strung two large skewers.

It’s just that going up the embankment from the back of the embankment is more difficult than walking along the embankment from the front. Two people take turns to carry the bicycle, and the other has to pull and carry it.When I returned to Heti, I was sweating profusely.He Dong's white sweatpants were stained with sand by the Yellow River, and a pair of white sneakers were filled with sand.

After noon, He Dong suggested to go directly to the village to push the bicycle.Shao Gan thought that he would go to school to receive the notice in a few days, and then school would start soon.If he had a bicycle, he could also take the time to go to school with He Dong to see the new campus that was about to spend three years.More importantly, he wanted to send the fish he caught today, not for anything else, just to thank He Dong for taking care of him.Want to thank more people, he does not have this ability yet.

There is also a small bag of peanuts in the house that I am not willing to eat or sell. They are grown in the palm-sized vegetable garden.The family has a total of [-] mu of land, and they are absolutely reluctant to grow peanuts. The yield is low and they cannot be eaten as food.Generally, they are used to grow sweet potatoes and corn, and to supplement sorghum and black beans by inserting rows.The oil eaten at home is extracted from rapeseed. Families without women seldom fry, and a tank of oil can last for a year.

Conditions like He Dong's family must eat peanut oil, Shao Qian thought, and he took the opportunity to send peanuts to He Dong as well.Dried peanuts are still very fragrant.Since they moved out of the village, they have no land, so they buy and eat everything.The peanuts from other people's homes are not necessarily better than those grown by him and his brother, and they grow big and full after being fertilized enough.

It was already three o'clock when the two of them arrived in the village. They didn't feel it when they were playing, but they started to feel hungry on the way.He Dong put down the car and rushed inside, calling, "Mom, do you have anything to eat? Are you starving to death?"

"Where did you go? I searched for you for half a street, but I couldn't find you."

"I'm looking for Shao Gan..." The voice faded, Shao Gan followed up with the fish, and said with a smile, "Aunt Gui, He Dong and I caught the fish."

Wang Guizhi felt uncomfortable for a moment, and quickly took it over to say hello: "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Wait, Auntie will serve you some noodles. Let the fish be put first, and you will bring it back later. Your uncle's unit has a child caught in the net." , fished a lot, and is still marinating in the vat."

"Auntie, I don't want to eat. My brother must save the food." Shao Qian winked at He Dong, wanting to push the car and leave.He Dong stretched out his hand to hold him, "Let's go after eating, aren't you hungry?"

Although they have been classmates for so many years, this is the first time Shao Gan has entered He Dong's current home, which is also the home of the township chief.It's completely different from when he was in the village. Although the place where he lives is also a blue brick house, the things inside are much more advanced.Now in front of me is a sofa, the back of the sofa is covered with snow-white cushions drawn with fine wool, the place to sit is covered with small cushions woven from light green bamboo strips, and there is a place for tea in front of me.Very particular.

Shao Qian turned around to look around the room, not wanting to touch the clean-looking sofa with his dirty pants, but he was suddenly dragged down by He Dong.

He Dong laughed loudly, "What are you afraid of, you can't sit still."

He Dong squatted at the door to pour the sand out of his shoes, and opened the little black and white by the way.It happened to be a replay of the previous night's Liaozhai, and when it came out, it was just a little fire and ghost sounds.He Dong jumped up and cursed, "Fuck!" Changing a pair of slippers, he moved to Shao Gan's side and said, "This ghost movie can scare people to death. I don't dare to go out to pee after watching it in the middle of the night."

At first Shao Gan was also a little frightened, but after seeing it clearly, he realized that it was a man who entered the study room with a lantern.When the name of the TV series popped up, he suddenly realized: "Pu Songling."

He Dong looked at the person entering the room in the dark scene, and said casually: "Maybe, who knows. But my mother said that Liaozhai seemed to be written by him."

Wang Guizhi had already brought in a pot of eggs, vegetables, and white noodles. Besides the scrambled eggs, there were also two poached eggs.There are two spoons of minced meat sprinkled on it, and soy sauce, which looks very appetizing.

"Did I say 'like'? I said that was originally written by him." Wang Guizhi feigned anger, "I'm so busy all day long that I don't know what to do, and when it comes to studying, I don't care. If your grades are half as good as Shao Gan's, you don't have to. We are so worried. Shaogan, you can serve it yourself, don’t be embarrassed to let it go and eat. Auntie will go out and buy some side dishes for you.”

"No need for Aunt Gui." Shao Qian hurriedly stood up, not knowing whether he should pull her or what, he waved his hands a little awkwardly, "Don't be busy, Aunt Gui, I don't... the noodles are good."

Wang Guizhi smiled as he went to the apron, "You guys eat your food, and I'll go out to catch the market. He Dong's father's friend came over at night and happened to be shopping too."

He Dong urged, "Hurry up and buy me some sunflower seeds. I want spiced ones."

Wang Guizhi glared at him, then looked at Shao Gan and smiled and walked out the door.

This kind of noisy and loving mother-child relationship is something Shao Gan has never enjoyed before, but now his mind is completely attracted by the pot of oily egg noodles.Both he and Shao An were men, and as long as they could remember, the food at home was that his father came back from being criticized and cooked whatever. Sometimes when there was no food, Shao An just poured the ingredients into the pot and slurped up a pot of mishmash.His meals have always been rough.Generally speaking, it is better to cook well, not to mention that the best material is cornmeal.It's not that they haven't eaten white noodles. During the holidays, they will also imitate the aunt next door and wrap a layer of white flour on the outside of the yellow noodle buns.But such pure white noodles, fried so many eggs and added minced meat, is still something he has never enjoyed before.

Shao Gan's Adam's apple was shaking up and down because of swallowing saliva. Although Wang Guizhi's departure made him a lot more comfortable, he still didn't want to show that he hadn't seen the market too much in front of his friends.He Dong ran out and brought a large bowl over, poured out one-third of the noodles, and left the rest to him, without even taking the bowl, he said directly: "Just use the bowl, it'll save you trouble."

"Are you enough?"

"That's enough. I'll wait until my mother comes back from shopping before continuing to eat, otherwise I won't have room to fill my stomach."

Shao Gan picked up the red porcelain basin, took a deep breath greedily, and his mood became bright by the way.In his mind, there are waves of wheat passing by, forming a scene of a bumper harvest.Soon, characters were added to the golden scene, those who were working hard, sweating on the yellow land.Shao Qian thought that he had to make a picture of the land when he went back. He was reluctant to use the remaining paint, so he finished it with pencils.When the work is finished, I will give it to Aunt Gui, hoping that she will not dislike the work that I have drawn with my half-hearted care.

Shao Gan ate up the half bowl of noodles, and only ate the poached egg last.The two hugged each other, snoring noodles while watching TV.When he finished eating, Shao Gan stood up to pick up He Dong's bowl: "I'll clean it up."

"Don't." He Dong took the initiative to reach out and snatch his basin, took it out to pick up the water, and then came in again, "Shall we go and see the bicycle?"

Exactly what he wanted.

Shao Gan thought he could leave before Wang Guizhi came back, so as not to have to go back and feed him again.Is he answering or not?Furthermore, He Weiye was not at home, and if he came back halfway, he would also be nervous.They are all people who have seen the world. As far as He Tung is speaking now, the tone of his Mandarin is a bit different.

Shao Gan felt a little pain in his heart when he thought of this.His parents are also people who have seen the world. His mother is very beautiful. She is well-known in all directions and went to foreign schools.I heard that I went to Shanghai with my grandfather and lived there for a while before returning to my hometown.His father was very talented. He also opened a school in the village and taught many children. He was good at writing and painting.Although it is sad to say it, his big-character posters and crusade books during the Cultural Revolution were all written by himself.The most chic words, the most vicious language.Shao Gan suddenly felt that he might understand a little bit why his father hugged him every time he came back from being criticized and said - fuck, bless dad.

The bicycles did look abandoned, thrown obliquely in the lane between He's West Hall and West House.It should have been a while since I have ridden it, and a layer of dust has piled up on the saddle.He Dong pulled the car out, found a rag and flicked it a few times, choked on the dust and coughed twice, bent down and turned the pedals to try it out, "I don't know if it's good to ride, you can use some oil when you go back. The chain also needs to be tight. Can you do it? Or find a car repairer in the village to fix it."

"No need." Shao Gan wiped the beam of the car confidently. Boys are born with their own superpowers for things like bicycles.He'll fix it up and it's extremely comfortable to ride.

To be honest, it would look good if it was wiped clean.It's just that He Dong has always been useless, and the bicycle rarely remembers to wipe it when it is stained with rain, so the spokes of the bicycle are a little rusty, and the steel on the axle should be broken, and it is a little wobbly.But anyway, it's good.

"I'll go back first, go back and play, I'll take you to dig sweet potatoes."

"Row."

Shao Gan pushed the cart and walked out, a little excited and grateful.He doesn't know how to say thanks, but he will definitely pay back slowly in the future.It's just that before they walked out of the gate, they ran into He Weiye and his wife who followed each other.Wang Guizhi has already bought a lot of things, and they are stuck on the back seat of He Weiye's bicycle.

"Shao Gan is leaving?" He Weiye asked kindly.

Shao Gan turned his hand holding the handlebar uncomfortably, and explained: "I want to go home and help my brother open up wasteland. The brigade has allocated two acres of wasteland. Also, He Dong's bicycle is given to me to ride."

"Ang, you don't need to throw him away, this kid is a waste of things." He Weiye turned his head to pick up his things, "Take some things back, and I won't come here for several years."

"No, no!" Shao Gan declined in a panic, pushing the cart to leave, but the village chief was standing in front of him, blocking the not-so-spacious road.

"Just take it." He Weiye patted him on the shoulder, "I have helped He Dong make up lessons since I was a child, and I have never thanked you and your father."

Shao Gan pursed his lips, "My father said, you are good people, you must repay me for making me successful in the future."

He Weiye's hands on his shoulders tightened, and he sighed, showing pain on his face.Even Wang Guizhi, who was behind, couldn't bear it for a moment.It's a pity that when Shao Gan said this, he kept his head down because of shyness, so he didn't see anything unusual about them.

When I finally left, not only did I ride the bike, but I also brought a bag of things I didn't know what it was.The bicycle is indeed a little old, but it is not impossible to ride it, it is just that the bicycle that has been exposed to the wind and rain after being thrown away by He Dong for half a summer vacation is more old-fashioned.Not only does the chain box ring, but it is also very heavy to ride.Even so, Shao Gan still rode happily all the way, sweating profusely, pushing up the embankment, and then riding on it, letting the bicycle run wildly downhill, and even imitating those boys with bicycles, keeping on When balancing, let go of the handlebars and make a flying posture.

The wind blew his long hair back. Shao Gan laughed and went home happily all the way. It seems that he will get the notification tomorrow, and then he can ride a bicycle to and from school like everyone else .Of course, it would be even better if He Dong could pass the exam.He is very grateful to their family, and also to He Dong, a friend. He hopes that he can continue to give him extra lessons, so that he who has not been able to repay anything can have a little something to do.
