Chapter 4, Martial Arts Dream
Shili Primary School ended at five o'clock, and when Chen Yu returned home, it was already six:30.
There are only four houses made of rocks and soil, two bedrooms and one kitchen, and the other one raising pigs. Next to them are two blue brick houses, one bedroom and one kitchen, owned by grandma Zhao Hong.
There are four and a half people in Chen Yu's family, including father Chen Weiguo, mother Xia Yu, sister Chen Yu, grandma Zhao Hong, grandma can only be considered half because grandma's other half belongs to the family of uncle Chen Dajun.
Xia Yu, who was thirty-one, looked at her eldest son with a look of surprise. She used to go to school in the morning, but when she came back, she always had some mud, and occasionally the shoes she wore was still wet.
The time I came back today was not a few minutes away from usual, but the clothes, pants, shoes and clothes were almost clean, which was a world of difference from before, so she could see the difference at a glance.
"Mom, I'm back."
Chen Yu shouted in a complicated mood. Looking at the mother in front of him, he couldn't help but think of his parents on the other side of the earth. He felt so uncomfortable. If it weren't for the fact that there was a younger brother there, he would have cried long ago.
"Eat first, then do your homework after eating." Xia Yu said.
"Brother, can you play with me later?" Chen Yu, who was only five years old, said with expectant expressions.
Father Chen Weiguo and mother Xia Yu would have a fight every now and then, but the relationship between them was very good. When Chen Yu was about to be born, his parents agreed that if he gave birth to a boy, he would be called Chen Yu, and if he was a girl, he would be called Chen Yu...
"Xiaoyu, go and call your grandma to come and have a meal." Xia Yu said expressionlessly.
Grandpa Chen Wensheng passed away twelve years ago. Grandma Xu Hong is fifty-three years old this year and is in good health. She lives alone in two blue brick houses. She usually cooks her own food. Occasionally, when the two families eat meat, she will ask her to come and eat it.
Uncle Chen Dajun discussed with his father and decided to start next year, Grandma Sanyue will live in her second home, and Grandma Shuangyue will live in her second home. The medical expenses will be distributed equally by the two families. In this way, it can not only take good care of the elderly but also let the elderly take care of the children.
"Mom, eat more meat." Xia Yu slapped a few pieces of meat and put it in Zhao Hong's bowl.
"Mom, grandma, sister, you all eat more." Chen Yu picked up the chopsticks and picked up some meat for all the three families.
"Xiaoyu, you are just when you grow up. Eat more. Grandma is older and has a bad appetite. She can't eat so much." Zhao Hong said with a smile, while holding the meat from the bowl into Chen Yu's bowl, leaving only one piece for herself.
"The child is sensible." Xia Yu felt relieved, and there was a little smile on her face.
"Xia Yu, come here to answer the phone." A voice that resounded throughout the village came from the large yard.
There is only one landline in Wufeng Village. It costs 50 cents a minute to call the mansion, and it costs 1.21 minutes to call the long distance outside the mansion. It is free to answer the phone. The landline is in the home of uncle Chen Dajun.
Chen Dajun is the village chief of Wufeng Village. There are subsidies for installing telephones. It costs more than 1,000 yuan for ordinary people to install a landline. In this era, tens of thousands of yuan households were rich. How many people in the countryside can take out more than 1,000 yuan in cash?
"Here you come!" Xia Yu raised his throat and responded, put down the dishes and ran out.
Xia Yu, who was still in kindergarten, saw her mother leaving and started to make a fuss.
More than ten minutes later, Xia Yu walked back quickly with a smile on her face.
"The Wei Kingdom called?" Zhao Hong asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, Wei Guo said he would come back to repair the house in a few days." Xia Yu said with a smile.
After Chen Weiguo got married, he went to work in the coastal areas and only came back every year on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Chen Yu put down the bowls and chopsticks and said, "Mom, I'm going to do my homework."
"Yeah!" Xia Yu nodded.
"Mom, I want to watch cartoons." Chen Yu shouted.
"The cartoon is over long ago, and there will be cartoons tomorrow." Xia Yu said.
There is a 14-inch black and white TV at home, which my father Chen Weiguo bought from outside last year. He can only watch three channels, namely Dahan One, Southwest One, and Southwest Two.
Putting a high bench and bringing a short bench to sit down. Chen Yu took out the homework assigned by the teacher and started to do it. In less than ten minutes, he finished all the homework.
As night fell, grandma, mother and sister sat in front of the TV and watched the martial arts drama full of snowflakes.
Chen Yu closed the door, got into the quilt, took out the martial arts novel bought by his father Chen Weiguo, opened a flashlight with battery, and started reading with relish. When he saw the protagonist flying over the eaves and shattering his sword, he was very yearning for him.
In the countryside in this era, there were no mobile phones or computers. There were very few entertainment activities. It would be nice to have a TV at home, and it would be nice to have a recorder. A few years ago, as long as you had supper, there were dozens or hundreds of people watching one TV.
Chen Yu, who was focused, was fascinated by the sight. He heard footsteps from far to near, quickly turned off the flashlight, hid his martial arts novel, exposed his head to the quilt, and lay motionless on the bed, pretending that I was asleep.
The next day, after breakfast at 6 o'clock, he carried a heavy schoolbag and a lunch box containing rice, Chen Yu went to school.
Wu Kui, Wu Ji, Ning Que, Wu Suo and Wu Lai joined the school team one after another.
"I've collected my homework, take out my homework and Teacher Qin asked me to collect it." Tang Shi, a representative of Chinese class, shouted like a yellow oriole.
Students took out their Chinese homework and placed them on the side of the desk near the aisle.
"Students, take out your math homework and Teacher Sun asked me to take it over to him." said Wang Yongjiang, a representative of the mathematics class.
One by one, the students took out their math homework and placed them on the side of the desk near the aisle.
Just when my classmates were studying in the class, Chinese teacher Qin Chaohua and math teacher Sun Zhengfeng were correcting homework.
From 7:30 to 7:00, the ringtones that could be heard throughout the school rang on time.
Ten minutes later, Sun Zhengfeng walked in and said with a gaze: "Hello, classmates."
"Hello teacher." All the students stood up and shouted in unison.
"Sit down!" After Sun Zhengfeng finished speaking, he asked the class representative Wang Yongjiang to go on stage and sent all the homework books. He looked at Chen Yu who was sitting in the fourth row. He withdrew his gaze and began to explain math problems.
Whether it is Shili Primary School, Second Primary School, or First Primary School, the students with the best grades in the class sit in the second and third rows in the middle. Students with better grades either sit in the first row or sit on both sides of the second and third rows.
There are two students in one desk, one half of them. If two students who have different relationships become classmates, they will turn a line in the middle of the table, pinch whichever crosses the line, and sit on eight students at four desks in a row.
There is a desk on each side of the classroom, and two desks in the middle of the classroom are next to each other. The students in the second row and the third row are definitely the top students in the class, that is, the ones with the best grades, and the rest are not qualified to sit.
Xiao Chenyu's grades were average and reached the middle of the fourth row, and the position was pretty good. Now that Big Chenyu is traveling through time, Xiao Chenyu is only obsessed with it. With the two Chenyu combined into one, his grades are enough to crush the entire school.
