The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and Big-eared Cow and her friends are having fun in the alley.
Mom came back with a lot of mooncakes.
The big-eared cow was so excited that she counted the number of mooncakes her mother was carrying. There were eight boxes in total.
He said excitedly that he wanted to finish a whole box of double yolk lotus paste by himself.
Mother Luo just smiled and said, "You can't do this in a kid's home!"
The big-eared cow asked doubtfully: "There are eight boxes here, why not?"
Luo's mother said: "It's the New Year and the holidays, so I have to give it away."
She took out boxes one by one. Some of these mooncakes were going to the "cop" Bai Liyi, the foreigner, and another box was going to the "bad-mouthed guy" with the foul mouth.
The big-eared cow asked doubtfully: "Why should you give it to them?"
For a moment, Luo's mother didn't know how to explain it to her child. She could only say: "They, they helped your father open a shoe store here."
The rest was given to two uncles and aunt.
In the end, there were only two cakes left, and my mother said, "Two, so many!"
Children don't understand, but adults understand that some mooncakes are given willingly, such as to uncles and aunts.
But some mooncakes have to be given away, because in Hong Kong in this era, if you don't curry favor with those people, such as the foreign devil named Bai Liyi, the so-called "bad-mouthed man"!
Are they really helping Luo's father open a store here?
Not really, but because I had to give it away!
Everyone who understands understands.
Eight boxes of mooncakes were paid monthly, but in the end, my family could only eat two.
Each of the four of us could only eat half a mooncake, and Luo’s mother said it was much better.
Big-eared cow children must not understand this. He just keeps looking forward to eating moon cakes.
Even if his brother said to let him eat his own half, he still refused to agree, crying and making a fuss.
In the end, Luo's father showed up and promised to take him to watch a movie, a real movie instead of a cheap movie. This made the big-eared cow temporarily forget about the mooncakes.
Brother Luo Jinyi, holding the newspaper, called out the names of movies from that era one by one.
But Big Ear Niu chose a movie called "Moonlight Cup" just because he liked the heroine Feng Baobao in it the most.
He also said that he would marry Feng Baobao as his wife when he grows up.
The whole family burst into laughter.
The next moment, the scene switched to the cinema, and the villain Mrs. Luo began to show off her talking skills.
He brought a large group of people, including a large group of children, but only bought five tickets. The same people who checked the tickets were also street visitors from Sham Shui Po.
"There are only five tickets, that's not enough, Mrs. Luo!" the young man checking the tickets said with a grimace.
"Five adults and eight children, five adults and eight children, five tickets are just right, why are they not enough?" Luo's mother argued eloquently.
The young man checking the tickets pointed at Luo Jin and said, "This one is so big, six big and seven small, right?"
"Five big and eight small!"
"Six big and seven small!"
The two of them were arguing back and forth.
While Luo's mother was arguing with the other party, Big-eared Niu quietly stole a "moonlight cup" from the movie peripherals placed at the door and put it in his pocket.
On the other side, Luo's mother said: "Don't look at Jin Yi, he is so tall, but he is only in his early thirteen years."
"How is that possible, Mrs. Luo, I watched Jin Yi grow up!" The street interview guy who checked the tickets was obviously not that easy to fool.
But his words caught Luo's mother again: "That's right, you watched Jinyi grow up, how dare you accept his vote?"
"I've watched you grow up, you've watched him grow up, and you're still charging him?"
Mother Luo's words made the street interviewer who was checking tickets speechless, so she had no choice but to let them in.
In the cinema, the moonlight cup glows in the dark environment.
When being teased by his brother, the big-eared cow used the excuse that he wanted to pee, and was taken aside by his father to pee. The little clever boy took off his socks and put the moonlight white into his socks!
But he was discovered by people in the cinema, and he pretended to shush again.
As a result, he was scolded: "If you want to shush, go back to your place and shush, your father's son!"
The big-eared cow didn't really want to pee in the first place, and he hid the moonlight cup in his sock, so naturally he was eager to go back.
However, after returning, he curiously asked his father: "Dad, who is your father's son? Is it me?"
When the camera turned, Luo Jinyi and Fang Fei were dating. Luo Jinyi told Fang Fei about this.
"My brother is really stupid!"
Fang Fei was also amused and asked with a sweet smile: "Then who is your father's son?"
Luo Jin smiled: "Well, some fake foreign devils called me that!"
"Really? Do they call you your father's son?"
"They call me No.1 and my brother No.2!"
"Enter one, advance two?"
"yes!"
As they walked, they actually arrived at the cemetery.
The two were chatting, and Luo Jinyi said that the foreign devils would call him a bastard.
Fang Fei didn't want him to continue to say dirty words, so she covered his mouth. This was their first intimate contact.
Both of them were a little shy.
In order to change the subject, Luo Jinyi said: "These tombstones are so beautiful!"
All the audience can see is the black line on the forehead. What kind of underworld love story is this?
But he added: "I wonder what will be written on my tombstone then?"
Fang Fei shook her head: "What do you want to do after so long?"
"Just think about it!" Luo Jinyi said with a smile.
However, after hearing this passage, these people in the movie theater are all insiders, and they naturally understand that the dialogue in the movie is also very little nonsense.
As soon as Luo Jin mentioned this matter, many people immediately sighed secretly.
Fang Fei suddenly looked up and saw a rainbow hanging in the sky. She shouted happily: "Rainbow!"
Luo Jinyi also looked up: "Yes!"
"It's so beautiful!" Fang Fei exclaimed as she looked at the rainbow.
"Did you know that sometimes two rainbows appear in the sky at the same time?" Luo Jinyi said.
Fang Fei asked in surprise: "Are you talking about a double-shadow rainbow?"
"Yeah, the color of one is exactly opposite to the other!"
"Really? You're here again!" Fang Fei said coquettishly, obviously she was used to Luo Jinyi being able to explain different things every time.
"Really, one is the reflection of the other!" Luo Jinyi laughed.
Fang Fei said the color once, but got stuck when she said it backwards.
Finally, she said happily: "I believe you first. Only when you see it with your own eyes will you take it seriously!"
"However, it is rare. Sometimes, we only see it once every many years." Luo Jinyi said again.
Fang Fei looked at him and said softly with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we will definitely see you!"
The two of them got closer and closer unknowingly, but unfortunately, in the end, no one saw the two of them really getting closer!
But this is the unforgettable first love when you are young and will always be engraved in your heart, isn't it?
It is so beautiful, so touching.
Eagle Country police officer Bai Liyi came to the door, and his mother gave him the box of mooncakes.
He declined hypocritically but still accepted it. Luo's mother allowed him to eat, saying it was just a matter of having a pair of fast boys, but Bai Liyi said: "Where, I need a knife and fork when I eat!"
This sentence showed that the other party looked down on the Luo family at all. In other words, this is also a microcosm of this era. Hong Kong Island during the colonial period was really difficult in this era!
The dull father Luo was still making shoes that seemed to never be finished, but Big-Eared Niu secretly gestured at Bai Liyi with a slingshot.
Bai Liyi asked him: "Child, have you finished your homework?"
"Hey, why do you speak Chinese?" White-eared Niu asked in surprise.
"Looking at how smart you are, uncle will teach you!"
"On Hong Kong Island, both Chinese and English are important. If you are good in both Chinese and English, you are good in everything else!"
"Your brother has the ability. He will be admitted to an English middle school as soon as possible!" He said again when he saw Luo Jin coming out.
"However, in Hong Kong Island, English is more important than Chinese. You must be proficient in English to be successful. Do you understand?"
"What do you mean?" Big-eared Niu asked doubtfully.
Bai Liyi glanced at Luo's father and said, "Your father doesn't have anything to do with it. Your surname is Luo, which is LAW in English. How can you do that?"
"Law, when it comes to law in Hong Kong, it should be translated into LOW, then you can make money!"
When Luo's mother heard Bai Liyi joking about Big-Eared Cow inside, her face looked a little ugly, but she didn't say anything.
Big-Eared Niu said: "That LAW was translated by my brother!"
"Then your brother won't get anything either!" Bai Liyi said with a smile.
The kid doesn't understand, but Luo Jinyi does. Why did he translate Luo into LAW?
The big-eared cow didn't understand what LOW meant, but he did.
This foreign devil is simply disdainful, or he has never looked down on the Luo family, or even the lower-class citizens of Hong Kong Island like the Luo family.
Big-eared Niu was very unhappy with Bai Liyi's questioning of his brother's words: "My brother is very good at English!"
"Kid, let me tell you what English is great. If you can recite 26 English letters backwards, then you are called great!"
But the big-eared cow guessed a few letters and made a mistake!
"Look, can't you?"
However, this time the big-eared cow was unwilling to give in: "I haven't practiced it yet!"
"Come on, give you another chance!"
But the big-eared cow just memorized a few more letters and still couldn't recite them.
"I told you, you can't do it!" Bai Liyi said with a smile.
The two immediately started fighting.
It's just that only the big-eared cow acted heartlessly, and Luo Jinyi, including Luo's father and mother, didn't look good.
But so what?
Although what Bai Liyi said is harsh, it is true in this era. This kind of helplessness is shared by all lower-class citizens like the Luo family.
Luo Jinyi called Fangfei and wanted to ask her out tomorrow, but he learned that Fangfei had a cold and was uncomfortable.
Luo Jinyi wanted to go to her house to see her, but Fangfei hesitated: "Come to my house? It's so far, no need!"
"It doesn't matter, I want to see you!" Luo Jinyi said.
In the end, unable to defeat Luo Jinyi, Fangfei compromised and let Luo Jinyi make his own decision!
The first time he went to Fang Fei's house to meet her, Luo Jinyi even polished his leather shoes. He brought his favorite tropical fish, the red sparrow.
He went to see his beloved girl and brought his favorite fish as a gift, but when he arrived at the door of Fang Fei's house, he was stunned!
Villas, gardens, and such a house gave him a premonition.
When he walked into Fang Fei's house in fear, Fang Fei was a little surprised that he really came, but she was still very happy.
Luo Jinyi saw Fangfei's mother playing the piano and sincerely praised her. Fangfei asked Luo Jinyi, "What about your mother? Does she like music?"
This question left Luo Jin speechless for a moment! She could only say awkwardly: "She is very busy and has no time!"
A huge and strong emotional impact and realistic irony wrapped in plain dialogue. Fang Fei seemed not to know that there was such a class represented by the residents of Sham Shui Po in Hong Kong Island at that time, and of course she was unable to understand what this class meant. The existence of the culture represented.
When Luo Jin saw the huge fish tank at Fang Fei's house, he immediately understood that when he took Fang Fei to see the tropical fish, she always said it was so beautiful, but how could she not know it?
Fang Fei obviously thought of it, and the smile on her face looked a little embarrassed.
"I brought a fish for you!" Luo Jinyi took the red bird that he was most proud of and wanted to give it to Fang Fei.
Fang Fei asked: "Is it the red bird you often say has never been defeated?"
But the "Red Bird" that he thought would excite the woman was eclipsed in front of the gorgeous and exquisite colorful fish tank. After the intense shock and brief loss, he wanted to preserve his remaining cultural dignity. Give the "Red Bird" to Fang Fei and put it in the fish tank. Putting the "Red Bird" into the colorful fish tank is a very symbolic action. Luo Jinyi integrates into Fangfei's life, that is, the blending of cultures. However, he was told that this small fish, which carried Luo Jinyi's slight sense of superiority, must first be isolated to prevent germs. What a complete and resounding metaphor - isolation, the isolation of two cultural classes.
"The Sword Comes"
At this time, Luo Jin was at a loss after the heavy blow.
In order to break the awkward situation, the considerate Fang Fei asked Luo Jinyi seemingly unintentionally: "Will this little fish remember where he came from in the future?"
Luo Jinyi looked at the red bird that was placed in isolation in a small fish tank and replied: "I remember, of course I remember."
Fang Fei was stunned. She said, "But I remember you said before that fish's memory is only three seconds."
Luo Jinyi said casually: "I said it nonsense!"
Then he looked at the girl he had always loved in front of him and said something meaningful: "There are some things that they will remember throughout their lives."
Yes, there are some things that they will remember throughout their lives. They are talking about fish, so why are they not talking about himself?
What's even more embarrassing is that he didn't know at all that he came in from the back, and finally went out through the more luxurious front door in embarrassment!
All his self-esteem was nowhere to be found for a while, as well as the love he thought he had. He immediately realized the gap and the impossibility of the future...
This made Luo Jinyi, who was like the beautiful red bird that had never been defeated, always fighting against the outside world and working hard, deeply hit.
He was absent-minded even in class because he felt confused. Will all his efforts really bear fruit?
he does not know.
The carefree and innocent younger brother Big Ears Niu is still working hard to eat mooncakes.
He forged the signatures of celebrities and shouted to sell cards signed by celebrities.
Still doing random things to satisfy his curiosity.
He is naughty and cunning, collecting the things he stole and treating them as his most beloved things. He stole the round fish tank and imagined it to be an astronaut's helmet to land on the moon. He put the stolen Eagle Country flag on his body and ran like the wind; he stole the old man's precious metal seal just because it had his last name on it. , these are the behaviors of innocent and naughty children. He is like a carefree little fish in a fish tank, living freely in the water and looking at the colorful world through the bright glass.
Different from the innocence and carefreeness of big-eared cows, growing up means knowing more and understanding more.
Because Luo Jinyi was hit, his academic performance dropped a lot, which made Luo's father very angry.
Because his eldest son Luo Jinyi had always been his pride, and could even be said to be the hope of the whole family, but he let him down.
In order for Luo Jinyi to go to a prestigious school, the whole family lived frugally.
This is what makes Dad Luo the most angry.
"At the beginning of every month, I leave money for your tuition. I am afraid that you will be late and that you will be looked down upon. Do you know that?"
I pity the hearts of parents in the world.
What made him angry was not that his son couldn't read. He was like a big-eared cow who couldn't read. Father Luo wasn't that angry either.
What makes him angry is that his eldest son obviously knows how to study, but he doesn't study hard. In that case, he might as well learn to make shoes from him, or learn to barber from his uncle!
Mother Luo could only mediate.
However, there was a leak in the house and it rained all night. At this time, it was revealed that Big Ear Niu secretly provided money for the mooncake party.
The fire that made Luo's father originally calmed down was ignited again.
The big-eared cow was cruelly treated by its parents and cried aggrievedly.
Luo Jin was afraid that he would make his parents angry again, so he quickly stepped forward to hug him aside and coax him.
But I heard the big-eared cow crying and shouting: "I just want to eat a box of double yolk lotus paste by myself!"
Luo Jinyi coaxed in a low voice: "I know, brother knows!"
Father Luo and Mother Luo's anger immediately disappeared, replaced by helplessness and guilt.
This seems to be a turning point, just as Luo's father said, one step is good and one step is difficult.
Although the previous plot has some dissatisfaction, it is still easy on the whole. However, starting from the first time Luo Jinyi, the red bird who has never been defeated, was hit hard, it became difficult after it got better.
In another hurdle race, Luo Jinyi, who was invincible, fell before the last hurdle.
He lost! No more gold medals, only bronze medals.
The original words seemed to be a prophecy.
Big-Eared Niu saw that his brother was unhappy and said, "But it's okay to get third place. You said that third place is the hardest thing to get!"
Luo Jinyi stopped and looked at his ignorant brother seriously: "Brother, listen to me, third place does not count as a win, and second place does not count as a win. No matter what competition, only first place counts as a win! Do you understand?"
Fang Fei called, but Luo Jinyi didn't want to hear it. He actually still liked her, but he knew that they were not from the same world at all.
However, a sudden street visit told him that Fang Fei's family was immigrating to the United States and asked him to call her as soon as possible!
Big-eared Niu didn't understand: "Brother, why is Sister Fangfei leaving?"
"You've guessed it, Hong Kong Island is in such chaos now, everyone who can leave has left!" Although Luo Jinyi was heartbroken, he pretended to be calm.
