Yan Jianguo: Autumn rain is pouring, why don't the children in school wear raincoats?

Today is Sunday, the day is overcast, light rain is pouring, but because of the National Day holiday, today is still a working day.

It was close to 7:40, and I changed my shoes and got ready to go to work.

Standing on the balcony, I am used to looking south - my apartment building is the school to the south, the west is the junior high school, the east is the elementary school, every day before going to work, I will look at the campus, look at the children's lively figures, and a warmth will rise in my chest...

Maybe it was cloudy, but the school classroom was already brightly lit.

Most of the junior high school students have sat in the classroom and read early in earnest, and the primary school students are entering the school.

Autumn rains are pouring, people are wearing raincoats, and they are in a hurry. Hey? I wondered, how come the road is full of adults in raincoats? Even the raincoats that move toward the school gate are adults, and it is rare to see children with umbrellas or raincoats.

Where are the children going? Are these adults here today to ask for leave for their children? Just this little rain, not to it!

I thought, crouch down and look closely, oh, a little bulging under the red, red, green and green raincoats, it turned out to be a child adult "a common dress", some children lying on the back of the parents, some shrunk in the front arms of the parents...

Oh, boy! How happy your generation is!

I remember when we were young, no matter whether it was windy or rainy, we went to school by ourselves and did not have parents to send us.

At that time, the family was financially strapped, could not afford to buy an umbrella, could not afford to buy a raincoat, went to school in the rain, and everyone was draped in a piece of plastic sheet. A little wind blew, lifted a corner, and half wet.

The autumn wind blows on the body, and I can't help but fight a small chill.

Therefore, when we were children, we never liked the rainy autumn...

In the sky, the drizzle is still drifting, looking at the children who are wrapped under the raincoats by their parents and their feet are not touching the ground, I can't help but wonder: Will the happy children who are carefully cared for by their parents today have distant places and poems than our generation?
