Chapter 11 The Little Picture Book

Step over the cement threshold between the old and new dormitories to enter the old dormitory. Of course, the threshold was not intentionally left, but the concrete beams poured at the bottom of the courtyard wall of the original warehouse.

The first house on the west side of the old dormitory, that is, the one adjacent to Bai Yanling, is surnamed Zhang, and the hostess Wu Yuting is very aggressive.

But because Cheng Li and her son and daughter Xiaowei and Xiaohong had a good time, they always secretly gave the siblings a whole piece of candy, plus Cheng Li's small appearance, Wu Yuting also liked her very much.

There is no one in this long old and new dormitory who doesn't like Cheng Li. Of course, her family's superb grandmother, three cousins, and uncle's family say otherwise.

Even if the third uncle treated her indifferently, the third aunt would still treat her well in the future, but the third aunt had given birth to two daughters herself, so she had no place to stand and was soft-spoken.

6-year-old Xiaowei took his 4-year-old younger sister Xiaohong to play throwing stones at the door of their house. When he saw Cheng Li, who was bald, he pulled his younger sister over, "Xiaosi, I heard that you are sick? Are you feeling better?"

This grown-up greeting made Cheng Li feel funny, but what had to be done was still to be done, "Yes! It's ready, I don't have any sugar today, and the apple peel is still at Aunt Bai's house."

"Oh." Xiaowei didn't move, but Xiaohong pulled her brother to climb over the threshold, and she wanted to eat apple peels.

Xiaowei had no choice but to look at the backs of Cheng Li and sisters who had left, and helped her sister across the threshold.

Cheng Li dragged the second sister, "Hurry up, let's go to Dad to teach us how to read."

"Why do you know how to read?" These words made Cheng Yan forget why the younger sister told Zhang's brothers and sisters about the apple peel.

"Learning can help you understand a lot of truths. If grandma can't read, she will swear at others. Other grandmas can read and don't swear."

Cheng Li coaxed the second sister, the 9-year-old elder brother was only allowed to go to school in the second half of the year, girls are not qualified to study, and the three of Cheng Xian are the same, only she, when grandpa was alive, went to Honger for half a year Class, recognize a few pinyin letters.

After her grandpa passed away, she was not allowed to go to school anymore. After crying for a long time, Mrs. Cheng did not change her decision. She was very sad. She didn't understand why grandpa didn't get up again, or why she couldn't go to school. It was her elder brother who cared for her. , coaxing her to teach her after school, so she didn't become blind.

She wanted to take her elder sister and second sister to read together, and Mrs. Cheng was not allowed to hold their sisters in her hands again.

"Is that so?" Cheng Yan looked down at the little girl suspiciously.

"Of course!" Cheng Li nodded vigorously, "Did you forget when grandpa and grandma quarreled? It's impossible for grandpa not to dislike her, because he doesn't want to make it too harsh. If she is educated, our family is not like this."

"How do you know this?"

"Think with your brain! Let's go!"

Go out of the old dormitory and turn right, past the soy sauce factory and the dormitory area of ​​the food company, you will find the Material Recycling Station.

There are six units in this area, only the material recycling station has no dormitory, because the employees in this station are basically the family members of the other five units, and because the station is dirty and smelly.

If you really want a house, you must go to the administrative area in the county to ask for it, not the warehouse area here, and the administrative area is not where ordinary workers can apply for a house.

Because of the Huaihe Wharf, this place is very lively, and a material recycling station will be set up here, which has nothing to do with shipping and road transportation, but has something to do with the waste and the flow of people that will appear in the warehouses of various units here.

There is no material recycling station in the dormitory area, which is divided into three parts: east, middle and west.

To the east is the cement floor.

In the middle, there are canvas sheds with eight concrete pillars in the north and south, and the purchase point is under the sheds.

On the north side of the east-central block, there are several big bulges covered by large canvas, which look like hills.

To the west is the sales office facing Sanyanjing Road, which is a north-south main street.

This main street runs south to the Weihe Dam.

In the middle is the intersection with the Huaihe Bridge and Daqiao Road in the east-west direction.

North to Dock Road where the hemp mill is located.

Among the six units in the south, the other five units facing the main street of Sanyanjing Road, the brewery and the coal construction company, are courtyards for external business.

The food company made a large yard in the administrative area.

The Sauce Garden Factory has built a sales office, selling all kinds of pickles and soy sauce to the outside world.

Only the native products and sundries company opened the front of the store department to the north, facing the Sanyanjing Road is the gate, the gate for the in and out of the warehouse.

The sales department of the material recycling station sells old things. The sales department has a back door through which customers can come in and choose waste products by themselves.

It is said that in the past, on the concrete floor to the east, there were piles of porcelain furniture and broken copper and iron.

Cheng Li stared at the big canvas bag on the north side, wondering what was inside?
Children also often play on the concrete floor in the east. Cheng Li remembers that these big canvas bulges gradually disappeared from sight, and also disappeared from her memory.

But now, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there might be something good under the canvas.

"Xiao Si, what are you looking at?" Cheng Yan pulled the little girl who was standing still.

"Look at those green hills." Cheng Li pointed to the canvas mountain in the north.

"Oh, I heard that there are packed things underneath, and they will be transported to the provincial capital in the future."

The second sister's casual words made Cheng Li feel that her guess was correct, "Let's go! Let's go find Dad."

When Cheng Shanghe is free, he has to tidy up the junk, pick out salable things from them, and put them separately for customers who need them to pick them up.

Seeing the two daughters coming, he who was picking up the waste showed a smile, "Little Three and Little Four, there is a small picture book on the stool over there, let's go and read it! Dad will be busy for a while!"

Looking at the endless mountain of waste products under the shed for her height, Cheng Li estimated that ten people might not be able to pick them up in a few years, but her father had to tidy them up every day in such a dirty environment.

Cheng Li suddenly thought that the broken rattle when she just woke up must have been sorted out by her father and bought with her own money.

I don't know where Dad got the money, no, Dad is not stupid, he also has extra money?
Seeing that the little girl was in a daze again, Cheng Yan dragged her to the concrete pillar pointed by her father, where there was a broken second stool with a few worn-out little picture books on the second stool.

Seeing the small picture book without a cover, Cheng Li immediately returned to her senses, sat down on the simple wooden pier beside the stool, and opened a small picture book casually, huh?It's "Chicken Feather Letter"!

Cheng Yan also opened a book and flipped through a few pages. She couldn't see anything except the paintings. She raised her head to look at the little girl who seemed to be fascinated by it, and then looked at the small painting in her hand that didn't have a cover. Book, "little sister, can you understand?"

"If you don't understand, just guess, look at this little painting and try hard to guess."

"Pfft hahaha", Cheng Shanghe, who had been busy for a while, came over, just heard what the little girl said, and couldn't help laughing, "Then, what did you guess, little four?"

"Little brother delivered the letter." Cheng Li pointed to the small picture book in hand, "The bad guys arrested my little brother, and my little brother was injured, but he was rescued again."

"Oh, my little four is really smart, you can guess it just by looking at the little painting!" Cheng Shanghe narrowed his eyes happily, "Can Dad teach you how to read?"

"Okay, we are here to learn how to read, and people who can read will not be like grandma."

What the little girl said made Cheng Shanghe stunned for a moment, quickly put aside the unhappiness in his heart, squatted behind the little girl, pointed to the words on the page next to the little painting, and slowly read word by word.

Dad read a sentence, and Cheng Li read a sentence along with her serious appearance, which attracted Cheng Yan, and she also unconsciously followed her father, reading with her sister.

 Honger Class = Kindergarten
