[A penny of memories] When I was a child, a penny could buy a grain of sugar, a small bag of melon seeds and peanuts.
How I long for a penny, with a penny can buy sugar granules, sugar granules in the mouth can be slipped all day, full of sweet mouth.
I think I have a penny, but I don't.
At that time, the family was too poor to open the pot, and they ate the last meal without eating.
My mother saw that I was hungry for the sugar granules of other children, and without saying a word, she took my little hand and came home, telling me that the sugar granules were sweet and that I had eaten bad teeth. I said liar, and the mother stopped making noises and just sighed.
I don't understand why my mother sighed?
I remember once, when I was herding cattle with my mother, the cow took off the reins and ran vertically, and I fell off the cow's back and suddenly cried.
My mother turned back to God and ran toward me like crazy, running one foot deep and one foot shallow in the paddy field, the mud paddle water "fluttered" and "fluttered" splashed the mother's body, the hair and cheeks were also splashed, the mother's eyes were crystal wet in the sun, I didn't know that the mother's tears would come.
My mother picked me up and took out a grain of sugar from my underwear pocket like a trick, and the sugar grain wrapped layer after layer in oil paper. I took the sugar granules and stopped crying.
When my mother saw that I was not crying, her solemn expression stretched a lot, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly, as if she was laughing, and this laugh carried tears...
When I entered the academy in the seventh year, once the school asked students to buy extracurricular books for a dime.
The mother searched every gap in the mud house and found only nine cents, which was still one cent short.
The mother said that when the hen lays the egg and sells it, she can sell a penny.
So I squatted in front of the chicken nest and waited for the hen to lay her eggs. The mother said that squatting in front of the hen would not get down.
But I didn't care, I just kept squatting.
At noon, the hen flapped her wings and cackled, and the hen finally laid her eggs.
The mother looked at the warm egg in the chicken coop and sighed.
And how happy I am, after a penny, I can buy extracurricular books.
