Chapter 1 Breaking Heads

The name of Huaishu Town is derived from the fact that there is a thousand-year-old pagoda tree at the far east of the town, and to the west of the big pagoda tree is a dilapidated temple named Daming Temple.

Later, Huaishu Town began to set up a junior high school. Because there was no money to build a school, the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Huaishu Town Commune in charge of education thought of the deserted Daming Temple, so he organized manpower to repair and build four classrooms. There are two classes in one grade, two classes in one grade, and the school badge of Huaishu Town Middle School is hung on the gate of the temple.

The school is already on summer vacation, and Liu Hua is the only student left in the whole school except for Uncle Li who is watching the gate.

The reason why Liu Hua didn't go home was because he wanted to find a temporary laborer in the town, earning [-] cents a day, so as to lighten the burden on grandpa and grandma.

Although he looks thin, he is not short. At the age of 15, he is already 1.7 meters tall. In addition, he has helped his grandmother and grandfather with farm work since he was a child, so he is stronger than ordinary boys.

He is confident that he can be admitted to the first high school in the county this year. As long as he can be admitted to the first high school, there is a 70% possibility of being admitted to the university.

After running for a whole morning, Liu Hua couldn't find a job, so he returned to school at noon and exchanged his meal ticket with the gatekeeper, Uncle Li, for two buns wrapped in sweet potato seedlings.

Listlessly, he walked into the shade under the Sala tree, and sat down on the exposed tree root.

This Sala tree is said to have a history of thousands of years, and the thousand-year-old pagoda tree outside the school is like two brothers facing each other by a wall, and it is also the favorite place for teachers and students of the school to stay in hot weather.

"Boy, come and drink the hot soup under the bowl!" Uncle Li stood at the door of the kitchen and greeted Liu Hua under the tree.

"No need, sir, it's too hot, I can't drink it." Liu Hua looked at Grandpa Li gratefully and said.

"It's too dry to eat buns alone!" Uncle Li continued.

"I'll drink a bucket of well water in a while, it's icy cold and cools down." Liu Hua replied with a smile.

Uncle Li didn't say anything more, he sat on the threshold with a large bowl in his hand and ate garlic and sweet potato noodles.

The horse on the tree barked silently, making Liu Hua even more upset. There was no cool breeze under the Sala tree, and the hot weather made Liu Hua lose his appetite at all.

Liu Hua got up and walked to the dormitory. This is a side hall with a door and two windows. There are no beds in the dormitory. A long beam was built with two-story bricks from the south wall to the north wall. The inside is tamped with earth, and bamboo mats are spread next to each other, which can be regarded as beds for boarding students.

Because the accommodation conditions are too poor, the students in the town do not live in the school, and only the students who are far away from the town live in the school.

Liu Hua put the miscellaneous noodles into the porcelain bowl on the window sill, then walked to his bunk, lifted the sleeping mat, and saw densely packed fleas sticking their buttocks up one by one, their heads and feet stuck in the soil , when most people see this kind of scene, the hairs all over their bodies will stand on end.

Liu Hua, who is accustomed to it, picked up a tile on the ground and scraped it on the soil bed. He only heard a creaking sound under the tile, and the fleas died under the tile in an instant, and some fleas "heard the sound" and escaped".

Liu Hua put down the mat, grabbed his chaff pillow and fell asleep on the mat, closed his eyes in accordance with the usual practice of calming down and cooling down, and let himself settle down for a lunch break.

Anyway, it was very hot at this time, except for two small restaurants and a few people in the whole town, they were all resting in their own houses.

Half an hour passed, not only did he not fall asleep, but he became even more irritable for no reason.

He was so angry that he sat up, put on his shoes and ran to the well platform north of the dormitory.

Under the Sala tree, Uncle Li was lying on the mat, holding a cattail fan in his hand, and flapping the fan one after another. When he saw Liu Hua leaving the dormitory, he yelled: "Son, I can't sleep, come here and wait (chat) !"

"Wait a minute, sir, I'll take a drink of cold water!" Liu Hua replied to Master Li, stepping up to the bluestone well platform, put down the pulley and skillfully poured a bucket of cold water onto the edge of the well.

Liu Hua, who usually does things relatively calmly, did not notice that half of the bucket was hanging in the air.

He bent down and stretched his head into the bucket to drink water, and his hands naturally pressed on the bucket hook.

The bucket lost its balance, and the barrel tilted and fell into the well.

Liu Hua panicked, and instinctively grabbed the bucket hook with his hands, but the moment the bucket fell down, the pulley was pulled, and the handle of the pulley suddenly reversed and hit him on the head.

"Ah!" Liu Hua was hit by the handle of the potter's wheel and fell on the well platform, almost falling into the well.

There was a huge pain in his head, Liu Hua only felt dizzy, his eyes darkened and he passed out.

Before losing consciousness, he suddenly saw the figure of Uncle Li jumping up under the sala tree.

"Son, what's wrong with you!"

When Liu Hua woke up, he was already on the hospital bed in the township hospital, and his uncle who worked in the township hardware store was guarding his bedside.

Seeing Liu Hua open his eyes, Chen Baoping said with a bit of reprimand: "Xiao Fu, why are you staying at school if you don't go back after the summer vacation? Fortunately, you just broke your head. If you fall into the well, you will die. do you know?"

Liu Hua's nickname is Xiaofu, because he was born in Futian, his grandmother named him Xiaofu, and he didn't take the big name Liu Hua until he was in school.

Liu Hua only felt groggy, his whole head hurt like it was about to split open, a burst of dizziness struck him, and he quickly closed his eyes.

"Your sister-in-law is right, you have a stubborn temper! Get up and go when you wake up, what are you still doing in the hospital? I don't have the money to pay for your hospitalization." Chen Baoping saw Liu Hua close his eyes , seemed unwilling to talk to him, so he said angrily.

The doctor came in to check if Liu Hua had woken up. He happened to hear what Chen Baoping said, so he said, "He can't walk for the time being. He has a concussion from the pulley. When he opens his eyes, he will feel dizzy and nauseated. He needs to lie down and rest."

"Doctor, how long will it take for him to recover?" Chen Baoping asked.

"It's hard to say, at least a week." The doctor replied.

Chen Baoping looked at Liu Hua whose head was wrapped in gauze and said, "Xiao Fu, it's resting anyway. We don't raise it in the hospital. People in the mountains are not so delicate. Let's go home to raise it, okay?"

If the uncle didn't say anything, Liu Hua would be discharged from the hospital. If he hadn't been so dizzy now, he would have got up and left just now when he opened his eyes.

"Uncle, let me lie down for a while. I really can't open my eyes now. We will leave after we open our eyes." Liu Hua whispered.

"I'll go to your sister-in-law's house to borrow a flatbed car to take you back, and you can lie down for a while." Chen Baoping went out after finishing speaking.
