Lin Hong returned to his own room, pulled out a square wooden box from under the bed, opened it, and then put the textbook in his hand into the right position.
This wooden box was left to Lin Hong by his mother and is also his "treasure chest", where he keeps all his important things.
The most important thing, of course, is the textbook left by my mother. According to my fathers words after a drink, this was the book my mother used to review when the college entrance examination was restored that year. Lin Hong didnt know what "college entrance examination" specifically meant, but he also vaguely knew it was a kind of high-level exam.
Lin Hong thinks that these books are the most important wealth left by his mother. If there were no books to accompany him, he would not know what to do at night.
Ever since Lin Hongs brain injury from that fall, he had a strange illness. Whether it was day or night, he couldnt sleep no matter how tired he was or how hard he tried to force himself to sleep.
At first, he thought everyone was like this, but as time passed, especially when his father scolded and beat him several times for it, he gradually realized that people usually sleep at night, if not, its abnormal, and would be blamed by his father.
So at night he would go to bed like everyone else, but in fact he was pretending. After his father fell asleep, he would get up again and play by himself.
At first, Lin Hong was a bit apprehensive about the situation, but as time passed, he didnt find anything uncomfortable and life went on as usual, only then did he truly put his mind at ease.
After going through a period of confusion, Lin Hong found that his brain was getting better and better. The content in the textbook not only could be memorized at a glance but also could be easily understood.
So, when he was bored at night, he started self-studying content that his teacher hadnt taught yet.
He soon finished reading the content of grade two, after experiencing a few days of boredom, he remembered that there were still many books left by his mother in his treasure box, so he took those books as toys to pass the time.
However, he found that this time he was a bit dizzy, not as smooth as before, and seemed to understand but not quite. Nevertheless, he read with great interest for a long time.
One time, he followed his father to his uncles house for New Years Eve dinner. In the room, he saw his older cousins textbook who was in junior high school. It happened to solve a puzzle that had been in his mind, and suddenly realized that the reason why he found it difficult to read his mothers books was probably because there were many things he hadnt learned yet.
Fortunately, my elder cousin is also a person who loves to study and takes good care of books. The important textbooks are neatly arranged in the small cabinet in his room.
From then on, he changed his usual behavior and often ran to his uncles house to play with his cousin. Fortunately, he was originally quiet by nature, and his cousin didnt mind him much. Even if he found Lin Hong looking at his textbooks, he would only tell him not to damage or dirty them.
Of course, more often than not, his elder male cousin saw Lin Hong reading his little people books, such as "Water Margin" and "The Heroes of the Great Tang".
In this way, Lin Hong read all the textbooks in the small cabinet with a shocking speed without anyone noticing.
After finishing all the junior high school textbooks, Lin Hong surprisingly found that there were no obstacles when he re-read the textbooks left by his mother.
In this way, with the passage of time, until today, he has almost finished reading all the textbooks in the "treasure box".
Lin Hong put the math textbook back in its original place, then pulled out a slightly yellowed photo from the bottom of the wooden box, with a deep nostalgia flowing through his eyes.
In the photo, a beautiful woman wearing a lovely blouse with floral patterns is posing in a dancing posture with a smile all over her face, as if she is dancing carefree.
Behind her was a magnificent and majestic building, Lin Hong had already known from his textbook that it was the Tiananmen Gate in Beijing, the capital city that everyone yearned for.
After a while, Lin Hong put the photo back in the bottom of the box and hid it again. This was the last photo of his mother that he had left, all the others having been confiscated and thrown away by his father. His father never talked to him about his mother and didnt allow him to keep any photos of her.
His father told him that she was a heartless woman, not worth thinking about, and didnt deserve to be his mother.
But in fact, Lin Hong was very clear that his father also missed his mother dearly, otherwise he wouldnt cry out loud and call out for his mothers name after getting drunk.
In the upper right corner of the box, there is a small black rectangular box with many cracks on it. Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that these cracks are all bonded together with glue.
It was a Panda brand radio, which Mom had specially brought from Beijing. At that time, having such a radio was a very remarkable thing, and it shocked all the young partners in the village, who came to Lin Hongs home one after another to see its true appearance.
Unfortunately, the radios lifespan was not long. During one of his fathers drunken episodes, he smashed it to the ground, and Lin Hong cried for an entire night because of this.
He had wanted to find someone to fix the radio many times, but it was never possible. People said that those who knew how to repair it could only be found in the county town, and the repair fee would also be very expensive.
In addition, Lin Hong himself had disassembled the radios casing several times, but the dense and complex electronic components inside left him bewildered, too complicated for him to understand, and he eventually gave up.
Lin Hong picked up the battered little radio and fiddled with it for a while, then reluctantly put it down, closed the "treasure chest", locked it, and carefully pushed it back under the bed.
His stomach also started "gurgling" at this time, and Lin Hong began to wash the pot and cook.
Although he is young in years, he has already become very skilled at doing these things.
If I dont do it, Ill go hungry, and a drunken father will absolutely not get out of bed at this time.
For some reason, Lin Hong is a big eater despite his short and thin build. The amount of food he eats is almost twice that of his peers.
In this era of extreme material scarcity, the familys economic conditions were also very poor. Fortunately, there were many sweet potatoes grown at home, and in the rural wilderness and mountain slopes, there was never a lack of things to fill ones belly, otherwise Lin Hong, such a big eater, would have gone hungry often.
Breakfast was very simple, porridge, sweet potatoes with pickles, but Lin Hong ate very satisfactorily, as if this were the most delicious food in the world.
After finishing his own share, Lin Hong put the remaining sweet potatoes and porridge in the pot to continue warming them up, which was left for his father, so that he could eat a hot breakfast after getting out of bed.
