Like a train without a terminal, it has gone through countless stations and countless people; I have seen mountains and waters; floated by. This is the life of a monk.

I clasped the car door with both hands and refused to get in. Mom and Dad pulled my hands apart and carried me out of the car. I kept struggling. Teacher Lin also approached the window and covered her mouth with her hands, tears streaming down her face. When the car started, I stopped struggling and watched the car go away with empty eyes. I can still see Mr. Lin walking to the last row, waving to me through the glass.
"Yangyang, Teacher Lin will come again in the future. Don't be sad." My mother stroked my head distressedly.
I didn't speak, and I didn't cry anymore. Teacher Lin said that he should be a man who does not cry in the arms of women, and that he will be able to marry Teacher Lin as his mother-in-law when he grows up.
My parents transferred all the money I made this year to buy a house in Guangdong. They didn't plan to take me there, and I didn't even think about going there. For that strange and distant city, I have an inexplicable fear. Maybe I still have a glimmer of hope for Teacher Lin.
My parents left after finishing the double robbing (double robbing: early rice harvesting, late rice transplanting) at home, and I seemed to have found the familiar feeling before. Blood is thicker than water, and I can also feel the love of my mother. But when they left, I wasn't as sad as the day Mr. Lin left.
Mom and Dad brought a lot of things, and Lao Huang carried them all. My grandfather and I took them to the station. Grandpa was worried that I would be sad. But I am calm.
"You stupid kid. Why don't you go to Guangdong with your parents? It's a big city, and here we are in the countryside. When you go there, your life is a hundred times happier than at home. If you want to go, I'll definitely want your parents. I'll take you there." Grandpa took me by the hand to a noodle shop, one old and one young, each asking for a bowl of vermicelli.
I enjoyed my meal: "A few of them are crowded into a house in Guangdong, and the two of us live in a house. We're running out of money, so we can make a little more this year. Next year, we'll build our own buildings. Even if they buy them The house is still not as comfortable as ours."
"Huh? That's the reason. It seems that my grandson thinks better than adults. I have a unicorn grandson in my family!" Grandpa laughed.
Grandpa was overjoyed, he had to carry me home. I said on my grandfather's back, "Grandpa, when I grow up, I will buy a beautiful car and pick you up wherever I go."
"Okay, we Yangyang have ambition. Grandpa is waiting for Yangyang to pick me up. Hahaha."
The old and the young laughed all the way. I actually forgot the sadness that Mr. Lin's passing brought me, and the sadness that my parents felt alienated from me.
A few miles away from home, Hongqiu saw us from a distance. Circling above our heads, chirping incessantly, I could hear its joy in its voice. I am really envious of it, it can fly freely in the sky without restraint. And I have to go through the sadness of parting.
Hongqiu's wife and children also came over, and Hongxing landed naughty and fell to the ground, learning to walk swaying with my grandfather. Of course it doesn't fall on my shoulders, its claws are too sharp and that would hurt me.
When he could see the village, Heidou brought his harem to greet him.
"You're not at home and take a good look at your home, what are you doing here?" Although I scolded Heidou like this, I was very happy in my heart. Gently stroke the head of the blackhead with your hand. Black Bean also wiggled his body, shook his tail, and rubbed his head against my leg.
"Yangyang, if this goes on like this, our family will become an animal world." Grandpa laughed.
In fact, there are three flowers in the house, one big flower and two small flowers. In fact, it is also very humane. Smarter than black beans. It's just that these three sisters are a little lazy, usually they don't walk out the door, they like to lie down in the circle and sleep well during the day.
Lao Huang is the hardest working person. He goes out to the streets with us early in the morning, and when he is hungry, he will moo at me. I took off the bamboo basket on its back and fed it the grass inside. By this time, the grass had already been eaten up by him. I went to the field and got a big bundle of sweet potato vines. This is his favorite, gulps of sweet potato vines into the mouth, crunching and chewing. It sounds delicious.
Before entering the yard, I saw Li Lijuan standing outside our yard with her grandparents. Heidou was already standing at the door with its three child brides on guard.
When she saw me, Li Lijuan was still a little shy, hiding behind her grandmother Han Xianfeng, afraid to come out. Li Lijuan's grandfather, Li Fangben, came up.
"Second brother. You're back from the street." Although the two families have different surnames, the village also used such a name. Li Fang originally called grandpa after his peers in the Huang family.
"Oh, it's Fang Ben. It's the two of you who came here. Come in and sit in the room." Grandpa quickly and enthusiastically invited Li Lijuan's grandparents and Li Lijuan into the house.
Li Fangben lifted the basket on the ground, which contained a basket of eggs.
"Who are you?" Grandpa thought they were here to see a doctor. Knowing that their family was struggling, I wanted to find an opportunity to tell me not to take money from their family.
"That's the case." Li Fangben told his intention.
It turned out that Li Lijuan didn't do well in the exam, and she kept crying when she returned home. When I asked, I found out that my two apprentices pushed her from the second place to the fourth place. In fact, Huang Shulang and Ma Jindong were lucky, and the difference in scores was not big. But Li Lijuan couldn't accept it. The family is so difficult, and her academic performance is the only thing Li Lijuan can do. Now even her academic performance has been surpassed by others, so how can she accept it. She naturally knew that whether it was Huang Shulang or Ma Jindong, it was only after learning from me that their academic performance surpassed the sky. So, she immediately made up her mind.
After Li Fangben and Han Xianfeng learned about the situation, they discussed it and came over with a basket of eggs.
Grandpa also smiled bitterly when he heard Li Fangben's words. Everyone else treats me as a treasure, but my parents treat me as grass.
"It's not true that a child has been a family. In the future, let Yangyang take care of Juanzi. Since it is a child who plays the family, you can't take it seriously. You can take the eggs back." Grandpa laughed.
"That's not possible. We should also pay respects to teachers. Our Li family is also a reasonable family. We can't let others say that our Li family does not respect etiquette." Li Fangben insisted on offering the ceremony.
I was talking to Li Lijuan in the courtyard: "Li Lijuan, if you worship me as your master, you will be called Senior Brother Huang Shulang in the future. Are you afraid that Huang Shulang and Ma Jindong will bully you?"
"Not afraid. They don't dare to bully me." Li Lijuan seemed quite confident.
"Why?" I was a little puzzled.
"Because I'm a girl. Grandma said that when I grew up, I was as beautiful as Teacher Lin. If I were as beautiful as Teacher Lin in the future, I could marry you and be an auntie." Li Lijuan said seriously.
I scratched my head and shook my head: "When I grow up, I want to marry Mr. Lin as my aunt. Even if you grow up to be as beautiful as Mr. Lin, you are not Mr. Lin."
Two young children, talking about life's major events, are always a little off the mark.
Grandpa also had a good talk with Li Fangben. Although my grandfather agreed to accept the basket of eggs for apprenticeship, he asked Li Fangben and his wife to accept my free treatment. Li Fangben and his wife are actually young, even younger than their grandfather. They are still only in their early fifties, but they are frail and sickly, and they look relatively old.
My grandfather asked me to treat Li Fangben and his wife, and he went to prepare meals and made two catties of rice wine in the yard. It's a teacher's banquet.
But something unexpected happened to my grandfather and I. The next day, many people from the village came to my house, all for the same purpose.
Huang Shulang, a guy who ranked last in the exam, suddenly became a scholar. Ma Jindong's grades were also very average, and he suddenly became the top of the class. This kind of thing has long been spread in the village. If it wasn't for Li Lijuan's family taking the lead, others would not necessarily come to the house. Now there is something to follow, and everyone runs to the house. What's more, in the third and fourth grades, they want their children to be downgraded to the second grade.
Grandpa didn't know what to do either, so he simply put the decision on me: "You can figure it out yourself."
Grandpa has a headache, so please accept it, worrying that my future studies will be affected. If you don't accept it, you will offend the entire village.
