Chapter 8: The cool breeze of childhood

He Yu brought a lot of dried sweet potatoes from the countryside, a sack full of them.
It seems to be enough for two children to eat for a childhood, but they can't finish it.
It is not a loss of face for Jiang Mingzhen to take the initiative to find He Yu to play, and to take the initiative to show good wishes to He Yu.
I treat him well to eat dried sweet potatoes!
She told herself that.
One day when summer arrived, He Yu shook off the crumbs in the sack, and held the thin dried sweet potatoes in front of Jiang Mingzhen.
"It's the last one," he said.
"Ah." Her tone dragged very long, like an unfinished sentence, with six unfinished points behind.
Xu Meiyin said, after this summer, Jiang Mingzhen and He Yu will go to preschool.
Jiang Mingzhen didn't understand what kindergarten was, so her mother explained: The kindergarten is to prepare you for elementary school. The children in the neighbor’s house and the children who played with you before are all going to preschool. In the preschool, Xiaozhen can also recognize more new friends.
Jiang Mingzhen, who originally thought that he would be able to go home after a year of preschool, then stayed at home forever felt a panic.
"The pre-kindergarten is not over yet, do you want to continue to elementary school?"
"Yes," Xu Meiyin said with a smile: "Elementary school, middle school, high school, college, Xiaozhen must finish all of them."
Jiang Mingzhen has been depressed after the arrival of summer.
The reason is probably no dried sweet potatoes.
It is extremely rare that Miss Jiang wants to eat and cannot eat. The reason why Aunt Fan didn't buy her new dried sweet potatoes was because the head of the Jiang family refused.
The first baby tooth that Jiang Mingzhen replaced was when she gnawed off dried sweet potatoes.
The child was very squeamish, and a little blood came out when she changed her teeth. She saw that all the red spit out in her mouth and her gums hurt again, she threw herself into tears in her parents' arms.
The overbearing daughter cried into a kitty because of her tooth loss, and Jiang's father and Jiang's mother naturally felt distressed.
"Xiaozhen, you can't eat dried sweet potatoes. You're changing your teeth. The dried sweet potatoes are hard and sweet. If you eat them and remove the other teeth, you will have to cry next time.
Compared with the parents' being careful, Jiang Mingzhen is a typical healed scar and forgot to hurt.
A few days after losing her tooth, she secretly asked He Yu for dried sweet potatoes.
Now, all the dried sweet potatoes in his place were eaten, and she was completely out of it.
...
He Yu knew that Jiang Mingzhen was upset recently.
Her mood is all written on her face. He played with her with toys during the day and was supervised by her to sleep at night. It was difficult to force him not to see that she was unhappy.
As the summer begins, Miss Jiang misses dried sweet potatoes and her symptoms are getting worse.
Halfway through the building blocks between the two of them in the toy room, she suddenly began to sigh.
"You play, I won't play anymore."
He Yu watched her walk to the window with hands behind her back.
Looking out melancholy, she sighed long: "Oh."
The frustrated shoulders sank a bit.
The sad and ugly face looks like a little old woman from a distance.
"It would be great if there were dried sweet potatoes."
He Yu scratched his head and thought for a while.
Sweeping around, making sure no one was there, he walked to her ear and spoke to her with a breath.
"I think, otherwise...you have a temper with your parents."
Jiang Mingzhen wondered what she had heard.
He Yu patted her on the shoulder and said with confidence: "If the noise is a little bit bigger, they will buy it with you."
His expression was very sincere, and she was so sincere that she lost her language for a while.
She treated him as a good boy. What Jiang Mingzhen meant was that He Yu looked timid and listened to adults so much that he would encourage her to get angry.
In fact, when the two of them met for the first time, he showed the sincerity of what he said. If he is really timid, he probably wouldn't dare to "disrespect" her again and again.
Thinking far, Jiang Mingzhen looked a little distracted.
"Don't you want to get angry with them?" He Yu understood her daze as that she did not agree with his proposal.
Jiang Mingzhen was not thinking about it, and nodded hastily.
He Yu understood: "Then I will think of a way."
After a few days, he mysteriously found her before Jiang Mingzhen knew that He Yu's "thinking of a way" was not just talking, he really observed carefully.
"My mother and I went to the vegetable market in the morning, and I found someone selling dried sweet potatoes."
"Can you buy it for me!" Hearing those three words, Jiang Mingzhen's spirit came immediately: "I have money in my piggy bank, and I have a lot of money."
"No, I buy groceries with my mother in the morning, I can't buy them." Without thinking about it, he refused.
It is normal to be rejected, and Jiang Mingzhen accepts reality easily.
"Well, good boy."
He Yu's "thinking of a way" did not stop there.
Miss Jiang sighed every day. They used to love the puzzles they used to work together, and she was no longer interested.
"I'll give it to you to play." Putting the new puzzle into He Yu's arms, she went back to her room for a nap.
When she was lying on the bed and about to fall asleep, her door was knocked.
Jiang Mingzhen got up and opened the door. He Yu was outside.
"Would you like to go out, let's buy dried sweet potatoes at the vegetable market!"
His tone was very anxious: "My mother just went out to buy things in the mall, and she told me that she didn't come back so soon."
"what?"
The sudden invitation to do bad things made Jiang Mingzhen a little confused, but she was immediately moved and even excited.
"Where is the vegetable market?"
"It's far," He Yu thought about it early in the morning: "Let's go by bike."
"Are you talking about my bike parked in the backyard? But, I can't ride."
"I will!"
He Yu has an appearance that Jiang Mingzhen has never understood.
He was a kid who came out of the mountains. He climbed trees, caught birds, and fought. Since childhood, he spent more time with his father. When he was in the country, He Yuke had nothing to do with the three words good boy.
His father firmly believes that boys have to bump into each other in order to raise their skin. I was idle on the construction site, and he taught his children how to ride a bicycle, using his tattered adult tricycle.
He Yu was so tall that he couldn't even step on the ground with his feet. He fell a lot and even learned.
"Sit down."
The little boy's Mandarin is not standard when he speaks loudly. He didn't notice it at the moment. He stepped on the children's bicycle and his face was bright.
Jiang Mingzhen was taller and heavier than him. She sat trembling in the back seat and lifted her feet slightly off the ground.
The wind passed over her auricle.
He Yu kicked his leg, stepped on the pedal and stepped on smoothly.
The bike is moving! The speed is getting faster and faster!
Is he so strong?
Jiang Mingzhen kept his eyes open and closed his eyes, clasping his hands on the seat of the chair in front, not daring to relax at all.
The docile puppy dog ​​who stayed in her house was suddenly released into the wild one day, and it began to run wild on the big grass.
"It's going downhill." He Yu said.
The wind blew Jiang Mingzhen's forehead and she saw with her open eye that the house next to her was retreating rapidly.
They galloped across the slope, and the cool breeze splits a road along the downward trajectory of the bicycle, dispelling all the summer heat.
The thoughts that had been hidden for a summer were blown by the wind, and gently and skillfully floated to his throat.
Jiang Mingzhen whispered: "I don't want to go to preschool."
"What did you say?" He Yu didn't hear clearly.
"Me!" She became louder, saying every word: "I don't want to go to school!"
"why?"
He didn't stop, he didn't look back.
Invisible to He Yu's expression, Jiang Mingzhen was rather open.
"No one likes to play with me."
He Yu replied: "I also go to school."
"what?"
The wind was so strong that she leaned close to him before she heard it.
"I also go to school."
I heard it this time.
"Oh!"
He Yu also goes to preschool.
There are many children in preschool, which means that there will be many children who hate Jiang Mingzhen, and she has never been able to play with other people.
But He Yu also went to preschool, the same as Jiang Mingzhen.
