Mingbei watched Li Muwu play with the tape measure and his legs like dancing whips began to tremble again. He shook his calf and hid half of his head behind the door, stumblingly retorted: "How can a ruler measure it? How many centimeters? Besides, I had to straighten the handlebars before I came back.

Zhen Zhen was lying on the windowsill and couldn't bear to look directly at her and covered her face, sure enough, Li Muwu got angry when he heard it: "You have revealed yourself, as soon as you enter the door, I can see that you have a guilty conscience. I tell you, you bastard. I know how many dung balls I can pull with a pout. I don’t know how many times I wipe it every day. I can’t wait to use a ruler to measure it eight times a day. You still want to hide from me, I think you are dreaming."

Zhen Zhen looked at Li Muwu in shock, she never imagined that her usually taciturn father would have such ability, even if he had nothing to do with the bicycle, he would even get a few words of deceit out of the mouth of the stupid son. Come out the truth.

Seeing Li Muwu carefully getting the car on the wall of the warehouse, Li Mingbei couldn't help but stop him: "Dad, it's a pity that you have the skill to carry sacks in the grain depot, why don't you go to be a policeman and catch a spy? I'm sure you'll get it right." Li Muwu picked up a stick and sneered: "If you dare to be rude, I think you need to be beaten." Then he rushed in towards Li Mingbei.

Li Mingbei howled, hugged his head and jumped into the room, waiting for Li Muwu to enter the room, Li Mingbei had already jumped out of the window and ran out. Neighbors and neighbors heard the sound of the quarrel between the two men and came to watch the fun. It can be said that in the morning, Li Mingbei was riding a bicycle in front of his house, and he was very embarrassed by Li Muwu in the evening.

Zhen Zhen sat in front of the windowsill eating melon seeds and watched with relish watching the father and son circle around the front yard and back yard of the house, Mrs. Li was watching the fun, but she realized something was wrong when she saw it, she put down the cigarette bag and the pot and pulled it over Zhen Zhen hurriedly went up and down to check: "Your brother really crashed the car? Did he crash you? Did he hit his leg?"

"No!" Zhen Zhen quickly moved her arms and legs to let Mrs. Li check: "My brother just jumped off the rock and jumped off."

"Does the feet that don't vibrate when jumping so high hurt?" Mrs. Li looked at Zhen Zhen's little feet distressedly, and she was relieved when she saw that there were no traces of bruising on the tops of the feet, seeing Li Muwu chasing Ming again. Going around to the window, Mrs. Li shouted angrily, "I beat that kid so hard that he almost fell to Zhen Zhen while riding on a rock. I think this bastard needs to be cleaned up recently."

Li Muwu, who had just stopped to take a deep breath, heard that Bei actually rode his bicycle on a rock and almost fell his daughter. He didn't know whether he felt sorry for the bicycle or his daughter, so he changed a thicker stick from the yard and continued chasing after him. Ming Bei beat.

Mingbei was able to run and jump right at the time, but it couldn't bear the light circling around the yard, let alone the old lady Li holding a cigarette bag and a pot to chase and block him. After running a few laps, Mingbei couldn't bear it. Well, was accidentally knocked on the buttocks by Mrs. Li's cigarette bag pot several times. Mingbei found a kung fu that neither Li Muwu nor Mrs. Li had come over. He walked through the vegetable garden at home and turned over the fence into the yard, and escaped through the gate.

Mrs. Li walked to the gate with small feet, and shouted at the back of her grandson, "If you have the ability, don't come back. I will ask your mother to make dumplings, mushrooms and pork tonight."

Ming Bei's figure suddenly stopped, he turned around and looked at his door very tangled: go back, you must be beaten; but if you don't go back, you won't be able to eat dumplings. You must know that the last time my family made dumplings was two months ago, and they were stuffed with pork and cabbage, not to mention how fragrant.

Mingbei sighed, if only he could escape the beating by hiding outside, he was worried that if he went back late, not only would he not be able to eat dumplings, but he would have to be eaten sooner or later. Li Mingbei moved towards the house three steps at a time, fluctuating between being beaten and dumplings.

After watching the lively Zhen Zhen ate the last pine nut in her hand, she came out slowly and persuaded Mrs. Li: "Honey, I really didn't fall, please don't beat my brother, it's not smart to beat him again and again. Even more stupid.

Seeing that Zhen Zhen was really all right, Mrs. Li looked at Ming Bei's pitiful expression and snorted coldly: "I won't beat him, but I don't care if his father beats him or not."

Li Mingbei watched from a distance that Zhen Zhen persuaded Mrs. Li away, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, seeing that Li Muwu hadn't come out, he waved to Zhen Zhen vigorously. Zhen Zhen looked back and saw that Li Muwu was breathing heavily against the wall, so she ran to Ming Bei and gave him a thumbs up admiringly: "Brother, you don't give up until you are beaten, a Give our father the best of luck."

"I can't help but say bald mouth." Ming Bei was annoyed, he pulled Zhen Zhen's pigtail and discussed with her: "Tell me about changing the stick, that stick. It's too thick, I won't be able to get off the kang for at least three days."

Zhen Zhen snatched back her braid, her small eyes rounded and her chubby cheeks puffed up: "I don't think you're worried at all, I just persuaded you not to cut your milk, turn your head and you'll be fine. Pull my braids."

Ming Bei slapped his hand quickly and said with a smirk, "I don't owe my hand!" Gently patted Zhen Zhen's shoulder, Ming Bei squatted down to discuss with him: "Sister, discuss with our father. Discuss, as long as our father is willing to change to a thinner stick, you can let my brother do anything."

Zhen Zhen pondered for a while, looked at Ming Bei and nodded: "Okay then, I'll go talk to our father."

Ming Bei watched Zhen Zhen enter the door of his house, and quickly and cautiously ran to the door, stretching his neck to peep inside. I don't know what Zhen Zhen and Li Mingbei said, but Li Mingbei really seemed to lose his breath. He threw the stick that was as thick as an arm in his hand, replaced it with a stick as thick as a cucumber, and shouted at the door: "Go away. come in."

Ming Bei heard that the sweet-scented osmanthus in the kitchen was already chopping the meat stuffing, so he hurried in and stopped three or four meters away from Li Muwu. Li Muwu gave him a sideways glance, picked up the stick and slashed his ass twice, then threw the stick and snorted, "Don't want to ride my bike again, I'll hit you once."

Ming Bei stared dumbfounded at the back of Li Muwu leaving, and couldn't help but ask, "What if my sister wants to go to the hydrolysis factory to watch a movie again?"

Li Muwu stopped and glanced back at him: "I'll take Zhen Zhen on a bicycle, you run down below!"

In an instant, Mingbei cried out: "Father, I am your own son."

Facts have proved that Li Muwu has a lot of sons. He really doesn't have that much love for Mingbei's own son. Since that day, he bought another chain lock and came back to lock the car firmly. Mingbei wanted to put the bicycle several times. Stealing it out and showing it off ended in failure.

Zhen Zhen really couldn't get used to Mingbei's jumping up and down all day long, so she used the conditions Mingbei promised that day, forcing him to sit at the desk to review his homework, watching him copy the textbooks from the first and second grades, and then After all the practice questions were answered, he was given two days off.

After Mingbei was forced by Zhen Zhen to copy the book from heaven for more than ten years, he was finally liberated. He immediately went to Wang Sufen to discuss asking for money to go to the movies.

Wang Sufen looked at him impatiently while meeting face to face: "Mingdong Mingxi Mingnan can't study better than you when you go to school, they didn't say watching movies to relax when they were at home, you look at you, you can 100 exams or what?"

"I don't want to relax." Mingbei plausibly said: "Besides, I don't want to go to the hydrolysis factory more, and I will be more confident when recruiting workers in the future."

Wang Sufen went to night school for a while when she was literate in the early 1950s. At other times, she was either busy at home or worked with Mrs. Li to open up wasteland. She didn't know anything about the factory. Hearing that Mingbei used recruitment as an excuse, Wang Sufen hesitated: "Really? Don't bluff me!"

"Mmmmm, really!" Ming Bei stretched out his hand and said, "Give me fifty cents, I'll take Zhen Zhen to watch a movie and go shopping."

Wang Sufen slapped him down with a slap, wiped the water on her hands, went into the house and asked Zhen Zhen, "Bao'er, your brother wants to go to the movies again, do you want to go?"

When Zhen Zhen left the movie theater last time, she asked the staff and knew that "Mine Wars" was on the show in the past two months. Although "Mine Wars" is pretty good, but she doesn't like to play the same movie repeatedly, so when Wang Sufen asked, Zhen Zhen immediately shook her head.

Seeing Zhen Zhen's reluctance, Ming Bei hurriedly winked at her: "Didn't you agree to Yu Wanqiu to find her to play with? Why can't you talk about it?"

Zhen Zhen looked at Ming Bei's eager look and couldn't help but cheer, she bit the persimmon and looked at Ming Bei: "Sister Wan Qiu is also polite, my six-year-old kid is ten years younger than others, together What fun."

In one sentence, Mingbei was blocked back, Mingbei was speechless and did not think of any other words, he looked at Zhen Zhen who was smiling very slyly, he really didn't understand why his own sister had so many hearts, she was not cute at all.

"Zhen Zhen doesn't want to go, so just stop at home, did your father beat you up last time?" Wang Sufen glanced at Li Mingbei and shouted, "Look at your book, when will your sister want to go? when you go!"

Ming Bei saw how easy it was to talk to Wang Sufen, but was disturbed by Zhen Zhen's words, immediately hugged Wang Sufen's arm and turned around to discuss with Zhen Zhen, "Would you like to give me the money for you to take it."

"Let's say it earlier!" Zhen Zhen threw the persimmon stalk in her hand into the basin and stretched out her hand with a smile: "Mom, I want to watch a movie."

"Why do you have so much heart?" Wang Sufen opened the box with a smile, took out a small handkerchief, took out a dollar and half a catty of food stamps and handed it to Zhen Zhen: "Your father won't let your brother ride His 28 is a big deal, you two can walk there, watch the movie and eat some food at the factory, and let your brother walk around the factory by the way, so that he knows how to make progress."

Seeing Zhen Zhen happily accepting the money and food stamps, Wang Sufen felt a little worried, so she had to ask two more words: "You have to save some money, keep the rest of the money, there is not much spare money for you at home. Go to the movies every once in a while. If you are really hungry, buy two cakes, you eat one and bring another for the meat bun, and your milk and I don’t eat that stuff.” Looking at the younger son who was staring at the money, Wang Sufen He added another sentence: "Don't buy it for your brother, he eats it and wastes it."

"I know." Zhen Zhen got off the kang and did not wear her own plastic sandals, but took out the small cloth shoes made of sweet-scented osmanthus and put them on, only then did Mingbei urge him out the door.

When Mingbei was studying at home these days, he really wanted to go to the hydrolysis plant, and he couldn't understand whether he wanted to go to the movie or if he was looking forward to meeting Yu Wanqiu. Yu Wanqiu is much prettier than the girls at Mingbei School. She is the kind of girl who knows that she has not suffered much at first glance. The skin on her face is very white, her hands are quite tender, a traditional goose egg face, and a pair of With extra attractive big eyes, looking at Ming Bei's heart is itchy.

Mingbei couldn't help but think of the scene of watching a movie next to him in late autumn when he was free every day, thinking of her big watery eyes. But he always thinks about the beautiful little girl, and Mingbei feels a little embarrassed. When a boy as big as him is dying to save face, he is so excited that he doesn't dare to tell his family, but it is really uncomfortable to hold it in his heart.

Fortunately, Zhen Zhen stood on his side in time under Ming Bei's repeated awareness, and the two brothers and sisters walked to the hydrolysis factory with a kettle filled with food. The hydrolysis plant is very far away from Lao Li's house. It would take about an hour to walk on foot. Fortunately, both brothers and sisters are not afraid of walking. They usually walk up the mountain for two or three hours without feeling tired, let alone this flat road. .

After walking for an hour, he finally arrived at the office building of the hydrolysis plant. Seeing the familiar building, Ming Bei's footsteps obviously slowed down. As he walked, he looked around, as if he was looking for something.

"Brother, what are you looking for?" Zhen Zhen took out the kettle and took a sip of honey water, and laughed at Ming Bei, "Are you looking for Sister Wanqiu?"

"What nonsense? I'm not familiar with her again." Ming Bei's face was obviously red, as if he felt that his words just now were not enough, and stammered and added: "I am a big man looking for a little girl. What are you doing, cut it!"

"Hypocritical." Zhen Zhen curled her lips, swept the entire hydrolysis plant with her consciousness, and quickly found the trace of Yu Wanqiu. Taking a photo of the silly boy who was still looking around, Zhen Zhen pointed to the third floor next to him: "Brother, where is that, let's go and see."

Mingbei glanced casually, and then looked elsewhere: "That is the family building of the workers of the hydrolysis plant."

"I haven't seen the building yet, let's take a look." Zhen Zhen said while dragging him to the family building. There are four three-storey buildings in this family building, surrounded by words like words. Seven or eight rows of warehouses are connected one by one, which is convenient for employees to store some odds and ends.

Zhen Zhen grabbed Ming Bei's hand and walked around from the back of the room, only to see a group of seven or eight-year-old children in front of the building running happily, Yu Wanqiu sitting at the door of a barn reading a book, occasionally looking up at a little boy who was running .

Ming Bei had something hidden in his heart, even though he was dragged by Zhen Zhen, he still looked back, a little boy who might as well collided with the little boy who was running with his head down, and knocked the boy into a somersault.

Yu Wanqiu looked up after reading a page of the book, just in time to see his brother squatting with his butt thrown, and hurriedly ran over: "Wansheng, are you alright."

As soon as Mingbei picked Yu Wansheng up, he heard a familiar voice, raised his head and looked at Yu Wanqiu in surprise, and stammered, "Well, what a coincidence, why are you here?"

"I should have asked you this." Yu Wanqiu looked at him helplessly: "Why don't you ever look at the road, last time you hit a rock while riding, this time you hit my brother while walking, What are you thinking about?" Ming Bei scratched the back of his head with a blushing face, and it took a long time before he remembered to say, "I'm sorry."

Seeing this, Zhen Zhen hurriedly smoothed things out, took Yu Wanqiu's hand and smiled sweetly, "My brother and I came to play in the factory, it's the first time I saw a building, so I won't let my brother take me over to see, who is it? Cheng wants to meet Sister Wanqiu."

"My family lives here." Yu Wanqiu pointed to the unit in the middle and said, "The house in the middle of the third floor, you should come a long way from the south of the railway track. Why don't you come to my house for some water."

"No need, no need, I've brought water." Zhen Zhen quickly declined.

Yu Wanqiu took Zhen Zhen's kettle and shook it and said, "It's all over, so be polite with me, come to my house and sit down."

Zhen Zhen took a look at Ming Bei, and when she saw that he kept his head down and didn't speak, he knew what he was thinking: "That will trouble Sister Wanqiu."

"It's all polite to call me sister." Yu Wanqiu gave a hearty smile and said hello to Yu Wansheng: "You are playing downstairs, I will lead them up to drink some water."

It was the first time that Zhen Zhen had seen a building since the 1960s. She looked around curiously and saw that there were three families on each floor. There is also a chicken coop inside, with a few chickens sticking out their heads to eat. There are two rooms, one east and one west. The east room is slightly larger. There is a dining table, and there is a large writing desk in the corner with a lot of books on it.

Zhen Zhen walked over to take a look, and saw the textbook on the top of it looked familiar: "Sister Wanqiu, are you also in the second year of junior high? I look at the textbook the same as my brother's."

"Well, I'll be in the third year of junior high when school starts." Yu Wanqiu took out a kettle from the kitchen and poured a bucket of water for Mingbei and Wanqiu, and then helped Zhen Zhen to fill the kettle.

"Then you graduated from junior high school and entered high school?" Zhen Zhen asked again.

"Of course." Wan Qiu replied with a smile, "My dad asked me to take the second middle school of our hydrolysis factory, saying that it would be easier to go to the technical school of the hydrolysis factory after graduation, or to go directly to the factory."

Zhen Zhen glanced at Ming Bei and said meaningfully, "Sister Wan Qiu thinks more long-term, unlike my brother who plans to go to the forest management office to pull wood after graduating from junior high school."

"No!" Ming Bei hurriedly interrupted Zhen Zhen, he quickly glanced at Yu Wan Qiu and stammered: "I also want to go to high school." After a pause, Ming Bei added: "I also take the hydrolysis test. Factory One."

With the goal of hard work, Mingbei felt like a different person after returning from the hydrolysis factory. He didn't need to be urged by Zhen Zhen every day, and he knew that he would sit at the table in front of the window and study. When Mingnan came back from the holiday, Mingbei also took the initiative to let him go through the textbooks for the first and second grades of the first grade for himself. Mrs. Li looked at her grandson who had changed into a person, and thought he was possessed by a yellow skin.

Seeing that it was September, Li Muwu made a trip to the Iron and Steel Elementary School in front of his house, and finally signed up for Zhen Zhen, paid the tuition and book fees and came back with a set of textbooks.

The family has attached great importance to Zhen Zhen’s schooling since childhood, and Mrs. Li went to the street to buy Zhen Zhen a schoolbag in the style of a PLA backpack, as well as stationery such as notebooks, pencils, erasers, etc. When I was in school, I had a lot of stuff.

There were not many classes at this time. There were only two textbooks, "Chinese" and "Arithmetic". The texts on the Chinese textbooks were basically chronological, with stories of anti-Japanese resistance, hard and simple stories, and some quotations from Chairman Mao. .

After flipping through the textbook, Zhen Zhen called Ming Bei over and asked him to teach him how to write his name. The first two words Ming Bei wrote very well, but when it came to the word "Zhen", Ming Bei wrote more than half of the paper and didn't get it right. One. Zhen Zhen silently looked at the words above her, either missing arms or missing legs, she couldn't help knocking on the table: "I'm your sister anyway, why can't you even write my name?"

Mingbei scratched his face in distress: "It's too difficult, I think eldest brother must have given you this name because he didn't have a good heart. I bet you won't be able to write it until the fifth grade. Otherwise, you can change it. The words are good, I think it's good if it's true or false, it's quite simple, I'll write it for you to see."

Zhen Zhen looked at her with a sneer: "My Zhen means the vegetation is prosperous, and the meaning is very good, I will not change it."

"Why is it so hard, why don't you change the name." Li Mingbei scratched his head and scratched his head for a long time and finally let him come up with a good name: "I want you to call it Haydui, Li Haydui also means a lot of grass."

"Why don't you say my name is Li Shulin, that means there are many trees." Zhen Zhen was laughed at by Mingbei, if it wasn't for the sake of hiding people's eyes, why did she ask Mingbei to teach herself to write and look at Mingbei With a righteous look, Zhen Zhen couldn't help but want to hit him: "Take it down, I won't let you teach, you haven't even passed the high school entrance exam at all. I think Sister Wanqiu is getting old in her studies. People, wait until tomorrow when I go to the hydrolysis factory and ask Sister Wanqiu to go."

"Don't! Don't! Don't!" Mingbei was in a hurry. He had an indescribable affection for Late Autumn. Naturally, he didn't want to expose his weaknesses and weaknesses in front of others. Write your name." He shouted outside with a loud voice: "Ma, open the box and give me our household registration book, I don't believe I can learn to write Zhen Zhen's name!"

Zhen Zhen: "..."
