After the sleeping light was turned off, the beautiful sound of rain arose.

The hard work of the predecessors is still an inspirational example in the hearts of future generations.

At night, everything is quiet. The partridge calls "Gu Gu, Gu Gu" in the empty forest. It is the auspicious bird that accompanies Lin Haimei to read at night.

The dim yellow light turned from dim to extremely bright. The moths that came to visit the window made a soft crackling sound on the glass, leaving traces of powder on their wings.

The little mouse also poked out its pointed pink mouth from the hole, stretched and retracted, looked around, and looked at the overturned oil tank, ready to make a big splash. When it jumped into the oil tank, it looked at the fragrant oil.

The lard was chopped up quickly. It was too greedy and ate the left side, the right side, the outside and the inside. Unexpectedly, the oil tank shook back and forth, scratching the little mouse's head. It couldn't find its way home.

It was on its way. It was so anxious that it was jumping up and down inside, scratching its ears and cheeks. The lard gave it a gorgeous and greasy massage, and its feet were covered with grease, and it couldn't jump anymore. The cry of "squeak" was blocked by the oil.

The jar blocked the echo and everyone fell asleep, including Rhubarb.

Lin Haimei was immersed in a vast sea of ​​questions, and she was completely unaware of the sounds from the outside world at this moment.

"Wow! I finally figured it out." The little snippets of solving problems one by one were the most beautiful sounds in the night.

Lin Haimei's cheers fell into the ears of the little mouse several times. The little mouse screamed for help, but it was useless because Lin Haimei couldn't hear its cry.

The neighbor's big yellow cat came through the door and squeezed in through the railing of the window. The little mouse still screamed for help. Unexpectedly, this led to its death.

The big yellow cat's ears are extremely sensitive and can hear sounds from a distance of more than 20 meters. It rotates its ears to locate the sound.

direction.

The little mouse's cry made the big yellow cat hold its breath. Its whiskers were gleaming. With a slight jump, it jumped onto the counter and landed quietly next to the oil tank.

The big yellow cat hid its paws and gently moved forward. The originally hunched body of the cat straightened.

Its head turned sideways into the oil tank.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!"

The big yellow cat didn't intend to eat directly. It simply squatted by the oil tank, staring at the little mouse, and scratched it with its paw from time to time. It seemed like it was acting, watching a show, or accompanying the show.

The little mouse's "squeaking" sound was still squeaking, but it was much calmer.

"Yeah, we figured it out again!" Lin Haimei's cheers reached the ears of the big yellow cat. The big yellow cat moved towards the direction of Lin Haimei's homework and meowed "meow" loudly several times in protest. It thought Lin Haimei was disturbing.

It has the elegant taste of amusing mice.

"Beep, beep", the sound of Lin Haimei dragging a stool came from the room. Then there were several crisp "dong dong" footsteps from the wooden building, and the sound of "oops" opening the door came again.

The big yellow cat raised its ears, and the heavy "dong dong" sound came again. This was the sound of Lin Haimei walking across the cement slab.

Immediately afterwards, the concrete slab on the upper floor of the stove house flashed, and the sound of Lin Haimei's footsteps and the sound of her "stepping" down the stone stairs reached the big yellow cat's ears again.

The big yellow cat was startled and said, "It's not good! If the owner thinks it's the lard he ate secretly, he won't be able to wash it off even if he jumped into the Yellow River."

The big yellow cat quickly picked up the greasy mouse and prepared to escape through the front door. Just as it jumped off the cabinet, Lin Haimei opened the door and reached out to turn on the dim light.

The figure of the big yellow cat also scurried under the bench, making a sound of "Purring! Purring!"

"You annoying wild cat, why are you here to steal something to eat again?" Lin Haimei scolded her. Seeing that she had no intention of beating it, the big yellow cat quickly jumped up and climbed onto the window sill.

The little mouse made a "squeaking" plea in its mouth.

"Hey! Not bad! Big cat, I picked up a trophy today!" Lin Haimao saw that the cat had difficulty squeezing out, and pushed it with his hand, and the big yellow cat gently fell out of the window.

The big yellow cat turned its head and purred twice, as if to say, "I caught the little mouse today, not picked it up."

In the early morning, Lin Haimei went to pick mulberry leaves and came back.

When passing the pomegranate tree by the bridge, each huge fruit, hidden in dark red, shimmered among the small pomegranate leaves.

What flashed in Lin Haimei's eyes was the grand scene of the pomegranate blossoms in May. The fiery red petals flaunted on the branches among the leaves! They will forever remain in the memory and become an indelible May flower.

"The pomegranate flowers in May illuminate the eyes, and the pomegranates can be seen in the branches." The ancients' descriptions of pomegranates always have the "finishing point" surprise. Lin Haimei feels that both "ming" and "cheng" are used very well.

It appropriately expresses the meaning of blooming flowers and ripe fruits.

Feeding silkworms, catching silkworms, and sweeping silkworm excrement are compulsory courses every day.

"Baby silkworms, they have grown up. Now they are white stripes." Lin Haimei took a big white silkworm and ate it alone on a mulberry leaf. She wanted to observe the big silkworm eating the mulberry leaves.

"White body, black mouth, biting rustling, green leaves are bent but no mulberry can be seen." Lin Haimei was amazed when she saw how fast the silkworms ate the mulberry leaves! In one turn, she bit off a crescent moon. When she came back, only the meridians of the mulberry leaves were left.

Lying softly on the bamboo board.

"Don't stop doing something because you are weak", this is very similar to an ant carrying food, it all starts little by little, and finally becomes a giant elephant!

"Erya, come down for dinner," Yang Guihua shouted from downstairs, as if she was afraid she wouldn't hear.

"Here you go, eat first." Lin Haimei swept the silkworm excrement. The thick and dense silkworm excrement gave off a damp smell of plants. "What the silkworms eat are mulberry leaves, and what they pull out are silkworms."

Sand. Do silkworms grow up by eating mulberry leaf juice?" Lin Haimei was confused when looking at a ball of silkworm sand. "When they grow crystal clear, what they spit out is silk again."

Lin Haimei looked at the increasingly crystal clear silkworm bodies. She really didn't believe that silk would come out of their mouths.

"Is this made of their bodies turned into silk?"

"The spring silkworm will not run out of silk until it dies." The spring silkworm is not dead. It is hibernating, wrapping itself in the silkworm fruit, waiting for the next year to pupate and become a butterfly.

"Second sister, come down quickly, we will go to the venue later and go to dad's place." Lin Haimei cleaned up the floor and almost ran downstairs.

In the morning of autumn, the breeze is flying. The leaves are swaying gently and pleasantly. The sunlight shines through the shadows of the trees, the mottled grass and bushes, forming ripples like the ripples on the water.

"Second sister, it's so cool! When I was a child, I didn't dare to walk on this road alone. I always had a numb back." Lin Shiqin walked in front. The forest path full of branches and leaves was cool and the occasional light spots fell.

Lying quietly on the ground, with no intention of moving away to give way. Only when you step on it with your feet will it quickly jump on your feet. After taking a few steps, it will jump to nowhere.

"Me too, I would hum songs in a low voice to strengthen my courage. Occasionally, the noise in the grass would make me break into a cold sweat." Lin Haimei recalled that every day when the moon hung in the sky, the wind was high and the dark morning, she walked alone in this terrifyingly silent place.

A forest path. Three years into my junior high school career, I was walked down by a little girl who was afraid of walking at night.

"I got up at around four o'clock every morning to cook pig food and breakfast for a large family at the same time." Lin Haimei recalled the past and was very proud of her bravery.

"Shiqin, do you know how early it will be after I have breakfast?" Lin Haimei was looking forward to her sister's answer.

"I don't know, I'm still in primary school. Anyway, when we get up every morning, you are already gone. The pig food is cooked and breakfast is also cooked." Lin Shiqin admired her second sister's ability!

"You don't know, I have been scared since I went out. The moonlight is not very bright on the road. Sometimes it is blocked by houses or trees, and I can't see the road. But I can only bite the bullet and go forward, right here.

" Lin Haimei stopped and pointed inside the field.

"There are several tombs in the land above. Every time I walk here, I run. Anyway, it is downhill, almost like running. In a few minutes, I ran to the entrance of the cave." Lin Haimei looked at the different heights in front of her.

A nice downhill walk.

She stood there, as if she saw her own figure jumping down in panic and running away again.

"This road is not easy to walk during the day, and there are places where it is so covered that you can't get through it." Lin Shiqin was walking carefully on a dropped high ridge.

The two sisters came to the entrance of Dongzi. But now the appearance of Dongzi has changed.

There used to be a pressing house, where the entire brigade pressed oil and ate it. There was also a pharmacy and a small shop. At that time, it was like a three-sided courtyard, with houses with mud walls.

"Every time I walk here, I am not afraid anymore. Because there are always people shouting in front and behind." Lin Haimei paused and looked at the newly built small building. The three-sided courtyard has turned into a two-sided courtyard. One side has been ruined.

Unbearable, no more.

"At that time, when those walking behind saw someone in front of them, they would shout loudly, "Wait for me." People in front would also say, "Yes, I'll wait for you." The voice echoed loudly in the empty cliff canyon.

Along with the mountain spring that flows three thousand feet straight, it makes a ding-dong, ding-dong echo. Sometimes, if a piece of pink stone falls from the cliff, I will be too frightened to look at it, and I will be afraid to move forward.

"Usually when there are two of us, we are not afraid anymore. We run to school together." Lin Haimei seemed to see Afen, Ashe and Amin going to junior high school together in the past.

The sky gets brighter and brighter as we go. After arriving at school, it is usually before seven o'clock and we have to study early.

The two sisters recalled old memories while walking, but they didn't feel bored or tired.

"Second sister, I envied you and my second brother the most at that time. You would go out on the street as soon as you were told to leave. You were so lively at that time, with Awen, Abing, and Aquan in the team. There were so many of them! Sometimes there were more than ten people.

", Lin Shiqin recalled with envy the flamboyant and unbridled youth of Lin Erhua and others.

The journey to the street is a bit long, it takes almost two hours just on the dirt road.

"Second sister, my feet are a little painful from walking. Let's take a rest." Lin Shiqin directly found a stone on the side of the road and sat down. She rubbed the painful instep and looked at the dusty road, feeling a little regretful that she didn't

Read a book.

Because the road without studying is more difficult.

It was already past ten o'clock in the morning when the two sisters walked onto the street.

The dusty road makes the houses on both sides look a bit old. From time to time, there is farmland separated by the road between the two houses.

There are not many pedestrians anymore. There are a few people shopping in front of the few stalls.

"Second sister, don't you want to buy a shirt?" The two sisters Lin Shiqin walked one behind the other.

"It's okay if you don't want to buy it. Let's go to dad's place to see it first." Lin Haimei held her sister's hand.

The place where dad sells coal is next to the grain farm, not on the main street.

The sisters walked for seven or eight minutes and saw a large pile of coal piled in the empty dam from a distance.

There were two or three figures walking around in front of the empty dam.

"Dad, someone is buying coal. I'll help you shovel it." Lin Haimei took the shovel from her father's hand and started shoveling it.

"Old Lin, these are your two daughters! You are so beautiful and graceful, you will be blessed in your old age!" A tall aunt with an overhanging nose who bought coal said to her father.

"They are still young." Dad lifted up the coal bag with both hands and took it off the scale.

There was dark sweat on Dad's face, his face was thin, and his eyes were always shining brightly.

His hands were wet with sweat, making the entire palms and backs of his hands look black. The veins were bulging, like earthworms arching their backs.

"Erya, this is the admission notice from Ye Da that your elder brother brought back." Dad quickly walked into the room, picked up the envelope on the table, and gave it to Lin Haimei.

Lin Haimei's eyes were wet and the envelope was blurry.
