Corner outside the city-during the day

Three-story residential buildings made of red bricks are connected together. A narrow cement road winds in the building room. A hut nailed with black boards by the roadside has no windows, only an inclined door with a big lock hanging on it. There is a wire between the telephone pole next to the house and a bare willow tree, and some men's clothes are hung.

Cabin day

Qingqing took off her white shirt and sat naked on the wooden stool. Dad has a haircut scissors in his right hand and green hair in his left.

Dad:

I don't know how your hair grows so fast. Your hair is thick.

Qing Qing: I don't know.

Dad holds a barber scissors in his right hand and a comb in his left hand to cut Qingqing's hair. A beam of sunlight shines on the floor through the gap in the roof slab, and Qingqing squints at this beam of sunlight.

Qing Qing: Dad, look at the sun shining in.

Qingqing stretched out his hand and pointed, his body slightly tilted.

Dad: Eh, don't move, don't move, be careful to cut off all your ears.

Qing Qing: Yes.

Dad: Shit, it's broken.

Qing Qing: What's the matter? I didn't cut my ears.

Dad: I didn't cut my ears, but I cut a little more here and it was very short. But it's okay, it's okay. It will be fine in a few days.

Qingqing looked at her hair in the mirror with a straight face, touched the missing corner next to her ear with her hand and sighed slightly.

Day in classroom

Early in the morning, Qingqing walked into the classroom with her head down and her schoolbag on her back, and then sat in her seat. Several students are playing in the classroom. When they saw Qingqing coming, they gathered around Qingqing's desk.

Female classmate A: Qingqing, your father cut your hair again.

Qing Qing: Well, is it ugly? I cut a little more here.

Female classmate b: let me see, it's much shorter here, like a dog eating. How did your father cut your hair like this? You are not a boy.

The students laughed at Qingqing's hair, and Qingqing laughed with them.

Qing Qing: It's all right. It will grow. It will be fine in a few days.

Off-campus playground day

Qingqing and Qiner are playing on the seesaw, and their schoolbags are piled on the grass beside them.

Qing Qing: I think the seesaw has gone up, and my heart is flying. When the seesaw fell, my heart seemed to fall. It feels weird. I'm a little scared.

Chin: I think so too, but I'm not afraid. Ha ha.

Qing Qing: I'm going back. I can't play. I want to go home and cook.

Chin: Qing Qing, you are really capable. I don't think you are beautiful and never wear a skirt, but you are very capable and kind.

Qing Qing: I am kind? Where am I being kind? I don't like wearing skirts.

Chin: Girls should wear skirts.

Qing Qing: But I don't have a skirt at all.

Qin: Alas. I really think your mother is too cruel to run away like that.

Qing Qing: God knows where she is.

They got off the seesaw, packed their schoolbags and walked hand in hand.

Qiner: It is said that the teacher who will take our place in Chinese class tomorrow is Mr. Xia, who teaches grade six. She is very beautiful.

Qing Qing: Really? I think she is the most beautiful female teacher in our school.

Day in classroom

When the bell rang, the students looked eagerly at the door of the classroom and whispered to each other. Everyone is full of expectations for the new teacher. Miss Xia, a Chinese substitute teacher, came into the classroom wearing a flowered skirt and holding a lesson plan.

Teacher Xia: Hello, everyone. I'll give it to you after Chinese class this semester. My last name is Xia, so you can call me Miss Xia. Please turn to lesson seven. Today we are going to learn dignity.

Teacher Xia wrote down the topic-dignity on the blackboard.

Teacher Xia: Dignity, please explain the meaning of this word.

Several students raised their hands, and Qing Qing also raised his hands high. Teacher Xia saw it and pointed with her palm.

Teacher Xia: Please answer this male student.

The whole class burst into laughter, and Qingqing blushed and stood up.

Miss Xia: What are you laughing at? What happened?

Some classmate: Teacher, she is a girl.

Miss Xia: Oh, is it a female classmate? I'm sorry I read it wrong. I thought it was a boy.

Qingqing blushed, lowered her head and laughed with everyone. After a while, the laughter died down and the classroom was calm.

Qingqing: Dignity, dignity means dignity.

Miss Xia: This female student answered very well. Please sit down. Please read the text together. ...

Women's toilet day

Qingqing walked into the toilet and the girls looked at her with strange eyes. Two girls are whispering to each other.

Girl B: Is he a man or a woman? Why are you in the ladies' room?

Girl C: Of course it's a woman, just like a man.

Girl B: Scared me to death. I thought it was a man.

Outdoor roadside day

This cart is full of watermelons. Dad sells it.

Dad: Watermelon, big and sweet watermelon.

A middle-aged woman with her eight-year-old daughter, wearing a white princess dress, passed by Qingqing's father's booth. Qingqing's father looked at the mother and daughter.

Middle-aged woman: Shall we buy a watermelon to eat?

Daughter: OK.

Middle-aged woman: Buy a watermelon and help me choose a ripe and fresh one.

Dad knocked on the watermelon left and right, and then picked a melon.

Dad: This melon skin is thin and the seeds are less sweet, which is especially delicious.

Dad weighed it.

Middle-aged woman: How much is it?

Dad: Fifty cents a catty, five dollars a catty.

Dad collects money.

Dad: Your daughter's skirt is really beautiful. It is very expensive.

Middle-aged woman: Her father brought it back on a business trip. Not bad. It looks good on her.

Dad: Yes, like a little princess.

Cabin day

Qingqing lit the honeycomb briquette stove, then washed rice with a pressure cooker and put the pressure cooker on the stove. Qingqing moved the high stool and the small bench to the door, used the high stool as a table and sat on the small bench to do her homework. It's getting dark and the words on the book are blurred. Qingqing took the pressure cooker off the stove and put it on the kettle.

Dad came back, pushing a cart with five watermelons, a bag of vegetables and a scale. Qingqing moved the stool and schoolbag into the house.

Dad: Have you finished your homework?

Qing Qing: It's over.

Dad carried five watermelons from the trolley to the house and put them in the corner. Qingqing took the scales and vegetables from the car to the house and put the scales next to the watermelon. Dad leaned the scooter against the wooden house outside the door, and Qingqing helped roll the scooter's wheels into the house. Qingqing washes vegetables.

Dad: Are you hungry?

Qing Qing: Not hungry.

Dad moved the stove outside to cook. Qingqing stood by.

Dad: Turn on the light. We will eat soon.

Qingqing, turn on the light. There is a dish of scrambled eggs with green peppers and a dish of Shanghai green on the table. Qingqing is rich in rice. Father and daughter sat down and began to eat.

Dad: The mid-term exam is coming soon.

Qing Qing: Right.

Dad: If you get the first place in the exam, dad will buy you a princess dress.

Qing Qing: OK. But I don't really want it. It's inconvenient to wear skirts, but comfortable to wear pants.

Dad: Come on, eat more. Dad will buy it for you as long as you get the first place in the exam.

Cabin night

Qingqing is sitting on a small stool reading a textbook, and her father is sorting out the change in his pocket. Someone knocked at the door. Dad got up and answered the door.

Dad: Sister, come in and sit down.

Aunt: No, I'll just stand for a while, and then I'll go. Master Wang, these are my son's clothes. He is too fast to wear these. It's a pity to lose them. Give them to your family.

Dad: Thank you, thank you. I really appreciate it． I'm really sorry.

Aunt took a pack of clothes in her hand and handed it to Qingqing's father. She looked around the room.

Aunt: Qingqing is studying, so I'll go first.

Dad: Take a watermelon home to eat. There is nothing else to send at home. ...

Dad came into the room, holding the biggest watermelon.

Aunt: No, no, thanks. You can keep it for yourselves.

Dad: You must accept watermelon, otherwise I can't have this dress.

Aunt: What are you talking about? Keep it. If you want to eat, you can buy it at your house another day.

Dad: No, no, you must accept this. You give me clothes, I, I give you watermelons, which makes sense.

Qing Qing put down her textbook. Take the watermelon from my father.
