Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 2

Yi Wei felt as if he had a long dream. His name was Mao Dan, and he lived in an era of lack of food and clothing.

I never saw my mother when I was a child. It was my father who led me to live a hard life. When I was 7 years old, I started to study in the first grade of primary school. Although my life was hard, I ate cornmeal, sweet potatoes, and other coarse grains most of the time, and my life was still very happy.

When he was 10 years old, his father died unexpectedly, and the pension given by the commune was taken away by the second aunt, saying that he would live with his second uncle and second aunt in the future.

There is not much time, and Maodan will not be able to go to school. My cousin and cousin go to school every day with their schoolbags on their backs.

Mao Dan has to work in the field every day to earn work points. He does laundry, cooks, and feeds pigs. The second aunt often beats hair eggs and does not give food.

Neighbor Aunt Zhang couldn't stand it anymore. Occasionally, she gave Mao Dan a few bites to eat. It was useless to find a brigade. After educating the second aunt, after a few days, she treated Mao Dan intensified.

Finally, Aunt Zhang quietly said to Mao Dan:
"Child, your second aunt wants you to die, so that you can take advantage of your father's pension and the house you left behind. If you don't leave this house, you will die here sooner or later!"

Only then did Maodan wake up, and the next day he took away more than 50 yuan from home and started a life of nomadism.

I went north all the way to BJ to take a look at Tiananmen Square. I ran out of money and begged for food. I went all the way to BJ. Unfortunately, there were people who stopped Mao Dan from entering the city.

Mao Dan was begging for food in the suburbs and rural areas. In the 60s, no family was rich. Mao Dan was already skinny and had no food for three days.

One day on the road, a big sister passed by on a bicycle, looking at the dying hairy egg on the side of the road, she had already passed by, stopped again, and handed the two white flour steamed buns in the lunch box to the hairy egg,
Mao Dan stretched out his thin chicken paw-like hand to take the steamed bun, and said feebly:
"Thank you, thank you big sister."

The eldest sister looked at the boy in front of her, sighed, and handed another white-faced steamed bun to the boy.

Mao Dan looked at the steamed bun in front of him, hesitantly, and refused to pick it up.

Seeing that the boy was hesitant, the eldest sister knew that the boy in front of him was afraid that he would eat his own rations and would starve, and said:
"Big sister gives it to you, you can eat it. I work in the cotton spinning factory in front of me. I can eat in the cafeteria later."

Big sister saw Mao Dan and then took the second white-faced steamed bun. She secretly thought that this young man was about to starve to death, and he could still worry about whether he had anything to eat. He was still a polite child, and many children did not care about anything for one bite. Being cheated and cheated, anyone who slips through the door and picks the lock will do anything.

It's a pity that work time is coming soon. I will bring some more food in the future, and give him some more when I meet him, saying:

"You eat slowly. When you have difficulties, come to the cotton spinning factory in front of me. My name is He Yushui, remember?"

Mao Dan still said weakly:
"Remember, big sister He Yuyu, thank you."

He Yuyu nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Eat slowly, it's easy to choke if you go fast."

After that, I went back to work on my bike.

Mao Dan struggled to sit up straight, leaning on the sycamore tree by the roadside, eating white-flavoured steamed buns in small bites.

The hairy eggs were eaten very slowly, not even half a steamed bun, and there were children on the way, a boy in the lead, followed by two girls.

The boy suddenly saw a little beggar sitting under the plane tree by the roadside, nibbling two big white steamed buns, stopped the two sisters and said:

"Xiaodang Huaihua, look at that little beggar who stole two big white steamed buns, I'll grab them and give them to you to eat."

Huai Hua said, "That little beggar's hands are so dirty, I won't eat it."

Xiaodang looked at his sister and said, "Huaihua, you are so stupid, can't you just pinch off the dirty ones?"

"You're stupid! Mom praises me for being smart." Huai Hua looked at her sister and said with a pouted mouth.

The boy in the lead said, "Don't be arguing, you all run back first, I'll grab the steamed buns, and then I'll chase you."

Xiaodang and Huaihua said in unison, "Okay."

Turned around and ran back.

The boy trotted to Mao Dan, grabbed the big white steamed bun with his left and right hands, kicked him, turned around and ran.

Mao Dan was suddenly robbed of the steamed bun, and he was a little stunned. He was kicked in the chest again, and shouted: "You"

He didn't take it up in a single breath, his anger attacked his heart, and he fell to the ground with a blue face.

The boy ran for a few steps, looked back and saw the little beggar lying on the ground, did not chase after him, stopped and said:
"Little beggar still steals steamed buns to eat? I haven't eaten white-faced steamed buns for several days, and silly Zhu, too, didn't give me any meat for several days. I'm lucky today, and I can still grab white-faced steamed buns."

Bang Terri looked at the two sisters in the distance and shouted:

"Don't run away, wait for me, I'll give you steamed buns to eat."

Such a good brother who loves his sister.

Yi Wei was in a hurry, how could he have such a dream, the time is over, it was just a dream?

Watching the sticks snatching the white-faced steamed buns, but he couldn't do anything, Yi Wei became more and more angry, as if he had pierced a layer of window paper and the dream was shattered. Yi Wei also opened his eyes.

The suffocating dream finally woke up!

I don't want to see Mao Dan's life again, it's so tragic.

Without a mother's love, my father passed away early. He worked for the second aunt every day.

When he was begging for food, he was fed up with scornful eyes. He was often chased by dogs, scolded and scolded, and he had tasted the coldness of the world.

Finally the dream is over.

Yi Wei opened his eyes and woke up.

Why isn't the rental house I vacated in front of me?

This is where?

Why are you lying on the grass?

Raised his head, he was surrounded by a familiar plane tree.

Isn't this the sycamore tree that Mao Dan leaned against just now?
Struggling to get up, Yi Wei's brain immediately shut down when he saw the dark and thin hands like chicken feet.

After a long delay, it was confirmed that he had become a hairy egg.

Leaning on the plane tree, Yi Wei couldn't accept this reality for a long time, why did he pass through it?
As soon as he got a space, within a few minutes, he transmigrated into the body of a little beggar.

There was a kind-hearted elder sister He Yuyu who sent two white-faced steamed buns, but before half of them were eaten, they were snatched by the stick.

This is to start the beggar by yourself, is it all based on a bowl?
Thinking of a stalk from his previous life, Yi Wei smiled bitterly.

I'm not as good as Zhu Chongba, I don't even have a bowl to beg for!
There is a bamboo pole for hitting dogs.

I don't have such great ability, it's good to be able to survive in these difficult times, this hairy's health is too bad, it's all caused by poverty.
