2. Little sister broke away from her mother's body at this time, and when she could just walk, she liked me to lead her. I used the dance steps to lead her to walk, little sister happy dead! Giggling, my mouth and read "let's go to the sea", read a sentence, dance step, so jump to the door. Mrs. Song had just eaten and was picking her teeth with her silver ear digger. Every time she picked her teeth, she tsked and sucked in her breath as if her teeth were very important! Her little sister hugged her legs before she wiped the ear dugout on her body and stuck it in her bun.
3. Xiuzhen said nothing, sniffling and standing up. The weather had warmed up, and she wasn't wearing her bound-legged cotton pants anymore; now she wore a pair of fat, loose-legged pants. Are her legs thin? When the wind blew those pants, they looked so wobbly. She's thin all over, and when she squatted down on my chest just now, I looked at the back of that spine, flat as a board.
4. Standing in front of the camels, I watched them eating and chewing grass: such an ugly face, such long teeth, such a quiet attitude, when they chewed, the upper and lower teeth interlaced grinding around, the big nostrils of the hot air, white foam stained on the beard. I watched in awe, my own teeth moving.
5. At this point, my braids were done and I chased after Song's mom to go grocery shopping; she walked in front and I followed behind. Her nasty big black cotton pants, so thick, so fat, leg bound. Other people told Mom that Beijing's old moms are very good at stealing, they steal rice and put it into their pants pockets by handfuls down the waist of their pants, just falling into the bound trouser leg tubes and not leaking out. I wondered if there was any white rice in my family's fat pant legs.
6, summer past, fall past, winter is coming again, the camel caravan is here again, but childhood is gone. Under the winter sun to learn the camel chewing silly things, I will not do it again. However, I miss the scenery and characters of my childhood in the south of Beijing! I said to myself, write them down, so that the actual childhood past, the mind's childhood forever. In this way, I wrote a book "Old Stories in the South of the City". I thought silently and wrote slowly. Seeing the camel caravan approaching in the winter sun, hearing the slow and pleasant bells, childhood revisited in my mind.
7. The house is not as bright as my home, the glass windows are very small, there is a big kang near the window, and in the middle of the kang there is a low table, on which there are piles of work and needlework boxes.
8. I sat upright again, and had to watch the coachman beat his horse severely. Would the whip go down, and would that horse raise a bruise? Like the bruises I saw on the arm of a man in the west wing when I lifted up his sleeve? The morning sun, shining in the west room, shone on her not-so-clean face, and with a flickering of those long, wet eyelashes, the tears flowed across the puddle to her mouth! I don't want to look at the drover's whip! I closed my eyes and covered my face with my hands, listening only to the sound of the horses' hooves.
9, I have met with Niuer several times by the well nest, as long as I saw the red cotton jacket and pants flashing from that side, I was full of joy, but today, I waited for a long time and did not see her come out, was very disappointed, and my flannel lab coat pockets also hid a small packet of eight treasures of plums, to be given to the Niuer to eat. I feel, feverish, the package of paper are torn, sticky, Song mom washing clothes, I still have to take her a scolding.
10, I did not eat, mom and dad did not notice. Probably just drank cool water, people are better, my head is not dizzy anymore. Mom and Dad went to take a nap, I walked out into the yard and sat on a small bench under a tree, looking at the group of small oil chickens that were released. The chickens had grown very big and were pecking at the rice, the cicadas were chirping in the trees, and it was very quiet. I picked up a twig and drew on the ground, and when I saw an oil chicken pecking at a worm, I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten to bring back the bottle of hangman that I had caught in Hui'an Pavilion.
11, I don't know what to do, from the side is seeing her ears, earlobes tied holes with a red thread through, the girl's ears are not washed, the edge of a black mud. I looked down her shoulder again, there was a bruise on her wrist, I reached up and lifted her cuff to see, she woke up then, dodging in fear, along with that she turned her head to me and smiled sadly. The morning sun, is shining into the west room, shining on her not too clean face, wet and long eyelashes, a flicker, tears flow through the puddle of tears to the mouth.
12, I put my nose against the goldfish bowl to look in, the goldfish swim while the mouth one by one in drinking water, my mouth can not help but one by one in learning the fish to drink water. Sometimes the goldfish swam in front of me, and through a layer of glass, my nose and the fish's nose were on top of each other! I just watched, both legs kneeling on the edge of the bed, are numb, Xiuzhen is not yet come.
13. The sun came in through the big glass window and shone on the big white paper wall, on the three-drawer table, and on my cot. I woke up, still lying in bed, looking at the sunlight fluttering in the many tiny, tiny dust. Mama Song came over to dust the windowsill and the table, and as the duster danced, the dust in the sunlight increased and fluttered even more, and I hurriedly pulled the covers up over my face for fear that the dust would choke me and make me cough.
14, said she went into the house, I followed again, get this and that, and then follow out, move this and that, so with out into the busy happy. Xiuzhen's face is now pink, both sides of the nose is also smeared with dust, the tip of the nose and lips oozing a small bead of sweat, such a face looks really good.
15, Niuer has only one braid, yellow and short, like the tail of the puppy that mom bought for me at the land temple. The second time I saw Nyonya was when I was watching water being pumped by the well nest. She came over and stood beside me without a word, and we both smiled at each other, not knowing what to say.
16. Mom ignored my words, and when she finished she went back to the outhouse to eat. I lie on the bed, the heart anxious, thinking and girl date good after dinner in the horizontal hutong mouth meet, I do not know whether she came? Listen to the sound of rain outside, although not as big as during the day, but there is no place to hide from the rain in the horizontal hutong, because the entire hutong is the back wall of the house. I was so anxious that my chest ached, rubbed, and coughed, and when I coughed, my chest hurt like so many pins and needles.
17, the teacher taught me to learn camel, calm animal. See it never in a hurry, walk slowly, chew slowly, always walk to, always eat full. Perhaps it is born to be the slow, occasional dodge the car to run two steps, the posture is very difficult to see.
18, Auntie Lan's round and flat face, a row of neat white teeth, I like her left side of the gold-encrusted teeth, smile when the left corner of the mouth slanting upward, the gold teeth will be very appropriate to reveal. There is also a dimple in the left corner of her mouth, swirling with her laughter.
