My father came back from get off work that afternoon on the semi-old Baishan bicycle from his work. The setting sun spread over the wooden stacks behind my house, shining right behind my father from a distance. My father looked like he was wearing a great cloak of rays of rays of light. At this time, there were many neighbor girls playing in the street, playing a lattice game. The ringing of their father's bicycle stopped their game. They stepped aside one after another, and then watched in surprise as their father pushed the bicycle over. Among them was Xiao Wu from the linoleum paper house. Xiao Wu from the linoleum paper house was already dancing until his face was red and he was sweating. After her father walked over with the cart, she wiped the sweat from her face with her coat sleeve. This small movement was also seen by me standing behind the pile of zongzi.

The residual snow hangs on the tips of the old pine branches under the stone cliff. When the cold wind blows, it rustles like a bird losing its feathers. Ling Yun wrapped her cotton clothes tightly around her body. It was warm on the cliff and the sun was shining on her. Fengzi came out again and walked to the river to fetch water. Her figure in a blue floral cotton-padded jacket loomed in the woods at the bottom of the hillside. Fengzi is the daughter of Li Baoku, a tailor at the foot of the mountain. She came up to the mountain with her father, Li Baoku, last autumn. A white-headed tit flew silently from the forest and landed on the green pine needles. It's quiet in the old forest. Sitting on the stone slab, you can see the wooden-carved corrugated grass house at the foot of the cliff. It is as big as four houses, with a large mountain door and three window openings on the south side. The bones are frozen in spring and the meat is frozen in autumn. Although the season has already passed the beginning of spring, but after staying outside for a long time, the wind in the deep mountains, dense forests and wild valleys still carries a chill that scratches human bones.

Guo Haisheng studies at Hongguang Primary School. The class teacher at that time was named Xu Geying. Two things happened to Guo Haisheng when he was in the fifth grade of elementary school: one was that a girl named Xiao Wanqing came in at the beginning of the new semester of fifth grade; the other was that at the end of the second semester of fifth grade, Guo Haisheng's father stole a seamless steel pipe from the factory and was caught and paraded on the street. These two incidents later affected Guo Haisheng's fate. Guo Haisheng left school in a hurry before graduating from elementary school. Of course, Hongguang Elementary School later changed its name back to Factory Street Elementary School, just like many commercial service industries on this street such as Hongguang Food Store, Hongguang Photo Studio, and Hongguang Cinema... Later changed their names back to their original names. But this has nothing to do with Guo Haisheng.
