As June 1st approaches, the school will organize performances for senior children. Children like Luli cannot participate. The school only requires that on the festival, they should wear white coats and blue pants to arrive at the school, gather in the playground, participate in celebrations, and have the rest of the time for the children to have a day off.

Two days in advance, Lu Li made an agreement with Liu Gan'er, Daxin and Gou. On the night before June 1st, I went outside the city, and there were rice fields everywhere, and the fields were full of frogs and crabs. I would catch a few of them and give them some to each family and have fun together.

On May 31st, there was no class in the morning. Each class organized students to clean up. They were sweating and covered in dust on their heads and faces. Then they lined up as usual. The head teacher led the road across the road and dispersed. After entering the alley, Lu Li suddenly felt that someone was behind him. When he looked back, he found that it was Liang Xin. "What are you doing with you, you and...?"

Liang Xin didn't speak, but just followed him not far or near. Seeing that he looked like he couldn't get into a small group of little brothers, Lu Li felt helpless: he was a little 'character', and he was really good when he was good with him; he couldn't get better when he was bad with him. What he was particularly intolerable is the harm from others. Yu Liang Xin's several jokes were all because of Liang Wei's complaints. (Note 1)

When he wanted to come and play with Liang Xin, I was teasing you today, and you would like to find a way to tease me tomorrow. If you meet someone who doesn’t know how to tease you, you will ignore you in the future. Why do you want to tell the teacher and make yourself complain? In this way, I am still unwilling to accept Liang Xin. (Note 2)

"Go back...go, don't go back...I'll hit you?"

Liang Xin blinked and neither left nor got close. He only felt that the little brother was a very interesting person in his heart. It was very interesting to be with him. Dong Yuqiang, Ding Cong, Ding Ming, and Cao Xun, who lived closer to each other, were all fun, so he followed him desperately, no matter what he said, he refused to leave.

Luli was also annoyed. If you like to follow, just follow him. No more attention, turn around and go home, go into the house and take out the sewing bag from the chest of drawers, take out the needle, and get the thread, tie a knot at the end, take out a thimble and put it on your fingers, and start sewing the loose buttons.

This is a skill he has only learned in the past year. When he first started practicing, he couldn't even tie the knot at the end of the thread, let alone recognize the hole lead. As for pricking his fingers, it is common. He often sews one button and has a few holes on his hands. Now, he has a little saliva on his thumb and index finger, pinched the thread and twee it and tied a knot. He is so skillful!

While sewing a needle, Yu Fang stepped in and put the net bag in his hand at the door, which contained red water radish. "What's wrong? Are you fighting with your classmates again?"

"without……"

"Don't always fight with classmates, can you hear?" Yu Fang sat down beside his small bed with regret, stroked Luli's head, "Give it, I'll sew it for you."

Luli shook his head, and used a thimble to force the needle through the buttonhole, twisting his body, indicating that he would not use it.

"I just bought the water radish. I will get the water pipe to wash it later. I will wait for your uncle and others to come back to eat at noon." Yu Fang said, and took out a few more bills, "Is there anything wrong in the afternoon?"

“…………”

"I have nothing to do and go to the grain store and buy some noodles." She said, "Buy ten kilograms. When I go, I will bring you something and push the cart."

"Oh." Lu Li listened to his aunt's words, and his hands kept moving. Soon, a button was sewn firmly. He put the thread back and forth several times behind the clothes, tied a knot again, bite it with his teeth, put things like sewing bags, and put it in, "Uncle...uncle...mom, buy it!"

"Go now?" The child was raised by Yu Fang. Lu Li stuttered, but with only a few words, he could know what the child was saying. Seeing that it was still early, her husband and daughters would not come back for the time being. Nodded and went into the house, found necessary things such as grain, money, grain bags, etc., and helped him push the board cart outside, "Be careful, don't spill it. The remaining money is to buy cigarettes, buy four, and give you a cent to buy candy."

Luli was overjoyed! He pushed the cart to Gou Li's house and shouted loudly, "Dog... stand, Dog Li!"

"Gou Li is not at home, so he is out with Daxin." Aunt Han leaned out and replied.

My partner was not at home, so I had to go by myself. Lu Li turned around, but Liang Xin had not left yet. She was moved and waved to him, "Come on... Come on, I... I'll push... you go."

Liang Xin was so happy. The little brother was willing to play with him. He stepped onto the board car and stood on it. He chuckled at him, "Sit down, wait... and fall... to you."

I pushed the cart through the alley, and the grain store was not far from the non-staple food store. The area of ​​the grain store was very small. The air in the store and the ground were floating and filled with various grain and rice powder, which had a very strange smell. When I entered the door, I pulled several huge floor-standing open cabinets, which were divided into compartments, containing corn flour, white flour, rice, beans and other foods. A fixed iron scale was placed on it, and next to it was a huge funnel with white iron sheets.

The low prices at that time were unimaginable to people nowadays. For example: in the unit of market kilograms, corn flour is 0.112, millet flour is 0.14, standard flour is 0.185, and rich flour (this flour is a little whiter). Usually, there is no supply of ten kilograms during the New Year holidays, 0.21 per kilogram; rice extension rice and japonica rice, one is 0.147 and the other is 0.156. Don’t underestimate the difference between these few cents of money. The rice of different prices will taste absolutely different after making rice!

On the side of the wall is the counter, which means you want to buy something, pay the money, and pay the grain book. The aunt inside collects the money and cuts the corresponding amount on the grain book, and then goes out from behind - collects the accounts, and weighs the scales by one person. When you arrive at the box, you scoop the iron container in the box and put it on the scale. After clearing the number, you asked, "Have you packed it?"

Luli opened his dough pocket and surrounded it under the iron funnel. At this time, the child would be nervous, always afraid that he would not be able to hold it. The precious grain and rice fell to the ground for his own reasons. That would be a great sin. This feeling was a bit like an injection. The moment when the needle was waiting for the needle to enter the flesh was the most heartbreaking thing. He stuttered and said, "Dou, okay."

The salesperson was very skillful in his movements. He moved the iron scale and turned the dustpan over. He thundered from the funnel. A white mist rose up and shook the dustpan a few times, "Okay."

After the flour was put into the bag, Lu Li's heart was completely put down, pulled out his pockets, tied them tightly, put them on the board cart, turned around and took the grain bank and found the remaining change, got five cents back, bought four cigarette rolls, and could buy a piece of candy! This is rare. But should you give it to Liang Xin?

He pushed the car to the side food store next to it and put it in, and asked Liang Xin to see the car. He walked into the store with two two cents and one cent coins.

Lu Li often comes to the side food store. Wu Jihou is good at drinking, Wu Baokun and his wife are good at smoking, breaking up wine, and buying cigarette rolls are all the work he has to do every day. Sometimes he doesn’t know how many trips he has to go in a day. As soon as he enters the store, the mixed smell of soy sauce, vinegar, raw cooked meat, vegetable oil, pepper, large ingredients, and pickles is filled with the smell of mixed smell of soy sauce, vinegar, raw cooked meat, vegetable oil, pepper, large ingredients, and pickles, and it goes straight to the nose tube, "Aunt Xu, buy cigarettes."

Put four cents on the glass surface of the counter and take this opportunity to look down at the goods on the counter. The counter is divided into three layers, the first layer is pastries and candies; the second layer is side dishes and seasonings; the third layer is bottled wine. Children's attention is all about what they are interested in. In such a side food store, the most arousing greed is the candy and snacks placed in horizontal glass jars.

There are two types of sugar: fruit candy and milk candy. The former costs one cent per dollar, and the latter is two cents; if it is subdivided, there are many types. Fruit candy is mostly distinguished by taste, and it is also divided into domestic and imported. There are two more famous imported candy, one is Vietnamese fruit candy, one is Brazilian candy, and the other is Iraqi candied dates, but it is divided into snacks.

As for milk candies, there are crispy candies, chocolate, butter balls, Mickey Mouse, sorghum candies, Kanto candies, Zongzi candies, etc.

Among the side foods, soy sauce is 0.15, vinegar is 0.10, mayonnaise is 0.16, sesame sauce is 0.55; five cents of pickles can make the family eat several meals, and the sauce is only 70 cents of tofu. As for fish, meat, poultry, and eggs, they are all supplied by tickets; among them, pork is 0.9, beef is 0.8, mutton is 0.71 (but beef is very rare, it is rare to see), ribs are 0.45, cavity bones are 0.35, large bones are 0.09, meat filling is a piece, yellow croaker is 0.45, hairtail fish is different according to the width and narrowness, ranging from 0.25, 0.38, and 0.45; among them, 0.38 is very good, and 0.45 is considered a very broad bandage fish, but in fact, hairtail fish that is too wide is not easy to taste, but is not very delicious.

"Get it for you." Aunt Xu took out four cigarette rolls and placed them on the counter. Lu Li carefully picked them up and put them in his pocket. He took out a cent of coins and said, "Give me a piece of candy."

"Choose yourself."

Lu Li chose for a long time, but he couldn't bear to put down any of them. Finally, he picked out a piece of fruit candy wrapped in cellophane and turned to leave the store. Liang Xin was waiting for him with a look and greeted him, "Little Brother."

Lu Li didn't want to share the candy for him, but he felt a little sad. He took out the candy in front of him, and Liang Xin's eyes immediately emitted light, looking at his movements: peel off the candy paper and put it in his mouth, and the child felt disappointed. With a click, Lu Li opened his hand and spit out half a piece of candy, "Give it!"

Liang Xin was overjoyed. He grabbed the candy and stuffed it into his mouth. He raised his neck and swallowed it like this!

"Hey?" Lu Li was so angry! He raised his hand and slapped him. He was not tall. Liang Xin was even shorter. He raised his little face and looked at him pitifully. He had no choice but to spit out half of the candy in his mouth and put it in his hand again, "Slow down... eat,"

This time Liang Xin learned a lesson and dared not swallow it all. He put it in the tip of his tongue and licked the sweetness of the candy bit by bit. He felt that today I was the most correct decision to go with the little brother! Where can I eat candy at home?

When he got home, he took off his pocket. Dog Li and his friends didn't know where to go and had not yet returned home. He had to play with Liang Xin. Liang Xin was similar to him, with several sisters on it, but the difference was that Liang Xin did not have the motivation he had. His parents and sisters were very tight, and he only had such a boy to raise as a treasure, so he never allowed to participate in games such as swimming, fighting, and accumulating cigarette boxes. When he arrived here, he felt novelty when he saw everything. His eyes were radiating, which greatly satisfyed Lu Li's vanity.

He took out the biscuit box, took a stack of cigarette boxes in his hand, searched through it, found several big-name goods such as Battle, Yonghong, and Green Leaf, and handed them over, "This... is for you, bring it back home to play." He thought for a while, and said, "Come in the afternoon, let's play together."

Liang Xin was very happy. It was nothing if you could eat candy and take something home. The most important thing was that when I heard the little brother’s words, I seemed to be willing to take him to play with me in the future. I agreed obediently, put a cigarette box in my arms, and happily turned around and left the house, and went home all the way.
