wild cranberries
Chapter 30
According to the original plan, Lugao had to visit the RTVU Science and Technology Development Research Institute on the afternoon of the third day in Lishang, but the robotics club failed to advance to the FVC finals this year, and it was meaningless to delay time, so Lugao and his party Forced to wake up early, after packing up her things and issuing the invoice on Lu Gao's head, she set off to return to Qingyi.
Just like when we came, there are still tall buildings on both sides of the return road, planted with densely branched and leafy sycamores.Li Yuan sat next to You Kaifeng, watching him slumped on the sofa and looking out the car window, listening to him chewing the gum in his mouth, and occasionally making a loud "boo", blowing a round bubble .
Li Yuan remembers that You Kaifeng mentioned the idea of film and television performances to him a long time ago. It was a music appreciation class in the first semester of the second year of high school. Wen Qing, a female teacher from Northeast Damengzi, played "Black Swan" in class.
Natalie Portman's superb acting skills and flourishing beauty impressed everyone in the class. Li Yuan watched the whole part and admitted that this white fairy girl is indeed a concrete expression of Nina's two personality tendencies. To full marks.But apart from the movie itself, what surprised Li Yuan even more was You Kaifeng's quietness and concentration throughout the class.In Li Yuan's tasting class, he even made up a buoyancy problem in the physics workbook, and broke a 0.5 core while drawing a picture. After a group, he went to You Kaifeng to get it, and saw the quietness floating on his face. .
Looking back on Li Yuan now, there was a rare seriousness in his expression, and it even seemed a little too hard.It is not so appropriate to insist on an analogy. It is almost like Zhao Ji who "cannot be the king alone", staring at the map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with bated breath.Enthusiasm but fear, hesitation and persistence.It is not too exaggerated to say emotionally, just like the thing in front of me is a dream that I can't touch.
The female teacher Wenqing asked a question in class, and You Kaifeng was the only one who raised his hand to answer. He clearly said a simple movie review, but he was a little nervous, and he repeated some emphatic sentences inadvertently several times.The female teacher nodded patiently and with a smile, and asked him if he knew who the director of "Black Swan" was. You Kaifeng didn't pause, and then replied: Dano Aronofsky, and then the class sighed .Li Yuan was quite surprised, not only because he answered quickly and accurately, but also because this was the only time he raised his hand since he knew You Kaifeng.
Li Yuan didn't think much about it at the time, she just felt that everyone has something to shine, and it was quite amusing to think that Mr. Kai is rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so how can he show off his beauty? meeting.Looking at it today, he is also quite good at movies, but he is really an artistic bacteria.
Then making a close connection between the time and the present, Li Yuan suddenly understood that You Kaifeng was really a clean and clear person.Have a direction from the beginning.Not only that, but also the courage of little money, the determination to overcome all difficulties and focus on one point.Although Li Yuan also thinks that with his family conditions, escorts are on his side, there are too many ways to go back, and it won't hurt too much if he falls.
Li Yuan and him usually communicate on the basis of hate, loss, and poverty. Li Yuan seldom gives him affirmation because he feels that it is not necessary to do so because it is related to such a degree. Sophisticated and flattering, because I feel a little resentful, even if I really think it's good, I can't say good things about the other party.But You Kaifeng looks a little too imaginary now, usually alone with his teeth and claws, shriveled and shrunk in a corner.
Li Yuan couldn't bear it and patted him.
"Hey?" You Kaifeng turned his head, and the bubbles in his mouth just burst.
"When you drive to the front of this road, turn left at the intersection, which is the back door of the Jinguan Campus of Lishang Film Academy, it seems."
You Kaifeng was taken aback for a moment, then his expression brightened again, and his eyebrows stretched: "Damn? How do you know?"
"I used to travel with my parents when I was young. I saw the road sign just now, and I suddenly remembered it." Li Yuan folded her arms and leaned on the backrest, and pressed her nose: "From the back door, you should be able to see Liying's experimental theater Red Building and the entrance. Brecht sculpture, you can be regarded as a visit here, pray to the great god and pray for blessings."
After listening to the giggling, You Kaifeng took out the camera to adjust the focus, held up the lens and pointed it out of the window.The bus moved forward at a constant speed, and the shadows of the phoenix trees on the inside all swept over the roof and then slid towards the rear of the car. Li Yuan half-closed her eyelids, seeing that You Kaifeng and Peng Xiaoman were leaning against the window, and the sunlight shone down concisely. Let their faces glow with a golden color.
As soon as they entered Qingyi City, the car windows were splashed with water stains. Today is the melancholy light rain in July and August.
The bus got on Wanqiao and stopped at the gate of Lugao. The drowsy students got out of the bus with their bags on their backs. The teachers in each class counted the number of people. Before the rain started, they hurriedly ordered the safety on the road. When you get home, report your safety in the class in time, don't forget to go home and take care of yourself and hurry up to preview and review the book, and then you slap your hands and call for dismissal.
On the one hand, You Kaifeng was rich and powerful, and on the other hand, because he was afraid that his tens of thousands of dollars of cameras would be damaged, he turned on his mobile phone and called a Didi, but Xu Ming, Lu Qingyuan and his party forcibly took advantage of it on the grounds of "taking a hand with them along the way". Five of them were squeezed into the small Honda, leaving Peng Xiaoman and Li Yuan to cover their heads with their hands under the rain curtain.
The Honda drove five meters, and the lights stopped. Zhou Yiqing opened the door and threw down a three-fold umbrella with a pink floral bottom: "Umbrella for you two! Give it back to me when school starts!", and then closed the door with a "snap", and drove away from the narrow strip. night bridge.
Peng Xiaoman walked over to pick up the umbrella, stared at it for seven or eight seconds as if in a dilemma, unfolded it, shook it off, turned around and handed the umbrella to Li Yuan: "Come on, young man, hold it."
Li Yuan didn't answer, and narrowed her eyes: "I call?"
"what."
"why?"
"Because you are tall, whoever is taller will fight. Isn't this the rule of the world?"
The standard answer is "You're short, why don't you buy sesame seed cakes", but Li Yuan didn't say that, if he was someone else, he might not be able to agree to be taken advantage of.Li Yuan reluctantly took the folded umbrella from Peng Xiaoman who couldn't help laughing, and opened the ribs.I don’t know if I don’t support it, but I am startled when I support it, a short and dense tassel pendant falls down from the edge of the umbrella surface, and the end of the tie is quite noble and elegant, with rhinestones inlaid.Broken leg.
The two of them were supporting a powdery cloud, with the embarrassment of capital letters and bold words in their hearts.Not only because of this girl's broken flower umbrella, but also because of walking like this, the two of them will touch each other unconsciously because of the occasional instability of their bodies.Peng Xiaoman hummed Duan'er's not-so-famous tune, and deliberately moved slightly to one side. Li Yuan didn't make a sound when he saw it, and after a while, he slowly moved closer to cover him more calmly.
As the rain gets heavier, it is inevitable to get closer so as not to get wet.Stepping up Mingxi Road, Peng Xiaoman folded his bag and raised his eyes, only to realize that the umbrella was always slightly tilted in his direction.
The Zhujiatang on a rainy day looks a bit like Dai Wangshu's "Rain Lane" when viewed from the outside, but it is not so simple, and there are no girls holding oil-paper umbrellas, only two elders holding pink umbrellas them.In the morning, Lishang left at a time when the highway was not blocked. Neither of them had time to eat breakfast. They passed by the Lanzhou Ramen Restaurant in Yinhe Park, and neither of them could hold back. One of them took a beef stir-fried knife and sliced it home.Holding the umbrella, Li Yuan watched Peng Xiaoman bow his head to pick out some change for a long time, and then paid for it for him.
Peng Xiaoman thought that there was still one day before he could return to Qingyi, and his grandma, who was probably dancing with her ladyboy sister on the cruise ship in Pattaya, suddenly felt the desolation of being alone and widowed, and couldn't help feeling sad, and sighed and fumbled from the bag. I don't know where the door key is.Complaining and saying haha, just as Li Yuan and Li Yuan entered the alley side by side, they heard someone calling him from a door.The gentle and calm tone is not familiar, but it rang in my heart.
The family living in the outer alley, the husband and wife are in the business of roasting pears with rock sugar. They set up a stall in the evening, and the proprietress occasionally carries a large basin during the day and washes pears in the public faucet. When they meet, they nod as a way of saying hello.She opened the screen door outside for Ge Xiuyin, and smiled: "Can you hear your son coming back from far away?"
"That's right, my heart is anxious."
Peng Xiaoman stopped on the spot in a daze, did not speak, saw his mother slowly pulling up her hair, came out of the other house with a smile, shrugged her shoulders complacently, clapped her hands lightly, and looked inside. Hook, like leading an ignorant doll into his arms.Behind him, Peng Junsong was pushing an old but clean trolley case and holding on to a small folded wheelchair, thanking the hostess repeatedly.
"I rely on you two..." Peng Xiaoman touched the tip of his nose as if he was at a loss, scratched the top of his hair quickly and awkwardly, and glanced at Li Yuan without knowing why, and then burst into a very bright smile, shouting Voice: "Mom?!"
Li Yuan raised her eyebrows, suddenly being called by him, she pushed hard with joy and vitality that she had never seen or heard before.
"Hey."
Ge Xiuyin and Peng Junsong arrived unexpectedly, just to surprise Peng Xiaoman, achieve his goal and be satisfied.Her gait was still more flamboyant than ordinary people, she walked forward with less fluent movements, raised her hand to brush Peng Xiaoman's temple hair, and softly covered the back of his head, Peng Xiaoman stepped forward obediently, Under the umbrella, close to her.Ge Xiuyin looked at Peng Xiaoman up and down, and the wrinkles at the end of his eyes were wrinkled: "You're thinner again? Look, Lao Peng, is our Xiaoman thinner?"
Peng Junsong stood behind, pushed his glasses and shook his head, finally couldn't hold back, and put the back of his hand on Peng Xiaoman's cheek lightly: "The face is sunken, but I'll see if I'm fine."
Peng Xiaoman's parents came from Yungu to visit Peng Xiaoman, and Li Yuan understood it. She put away her umbrella, shook off the raindrops, and retreated to the eaves of the outer alley: "Hello, Uncle and Auntie."
Peng Xiaoman turned his head to look at him, Peng Junsong and Ge Xiuyin also closed their eyes and fell on him.
Li Yuan always kept it in mind, and never asked or mentioned it. He remembered that Li Xiaoxing told him after the parents' meeting that Peng Xiaoman's family was not in good condition, and his mother had chronic diseases, including uremia.That night in Lishang, I accidentally answered a short phone call with her, and because of Peng Xiaoman's momentary mischief, the two of them said a few specious words rather awkwardly.On the phone, Ge Xiuyin smiled softly and nervously, and said, Li Yuan, right?Hey, good name, I am Xiaoman's mother, my surname is Ge, the Ge of Xiaqiudongge.
It is not impossible to describe through sound reverie.At that time, Li Yuan suddenly guessed that Peng Xiaoman's mother should have such a full, delicate and soft vocal cords, and fluent oral expression, she should actually be very energetic, right?Perhaps it was really my mother's hearsay, and for the sake of dramatic conversation, she relayed the facts contrary to the facts.But after actually seeing her, Li Yuan believed it. She believed that Peng Xiaoman's mother was a sick patient with serious illnesses all over her body.
Eyes can't deceive people, so Ge Xiuyin's eyes are tired and tired at a glance, not as clear-cut as Peng Xiaoman's, and the whites of the eyes seem to be covered with a thin layer of familiarity, revealing the faintness of ancient scrolls. yellow.Probably due to impaired kidney function, she often suffers from anemia, and Ge Xiuyin's face is pale with a sallow tinge.She is thin enough, and she loves to be pretty in summer. She wears a taupe-colored skirt that is quite slim, and is knee-length, so she can't hold it up well.
Only her hair is black and long, her facial features are suitable, and she has the delicacy inherited by Peng Xiaoman.But we can't just attribute it to Ge Xiuyin. Peng Junsong is tall and straight, with the upright manner of an academic researcher, and he is also very dignified.It's a pity that the age is probably not very old, and the temples are grayed out, and the eyebrows and eyes are connected to the top of the hair, which is an unconventional old look.
Li Yuan felt that in Peng Xiaoman's family, Peng Xiaoman was two warm people, and they collided with each other.At first glance, his personality is neither like his father nor his mother, he is unrestrained and enthusiastic, lively and eccentric a bit too much.After watching for a long time, I realized that he still has this kind of "family tradition" or "gene" in his bones, gentle and calm, and caring about things.
Peng Junsong nodded to Li Yuan, and Ge Xiuyin asked Li Yuan, "How are you, classmate Xiao Man? I'm his mother, and you live at home—"
"You are stupid, you never thought of living with me." Peng Xiaoman remembered that there was another hero standing there, and interrupted her: "He is Li Yuan, the all-round student I told you is at the same table, Qing Yi Wu Yanzu."
Ge Xiuyin opened her eyes wide, and said "oh" after listening to it, and after a long sound, her eyes immediately swept away half of the fatigue, and looked at Li Yuan as if she had turned on a light. Embarrassed.She raised her hand and dusted off Peng Junsong: "Old Peng, your son is at the same table. Look at his height and stature, and then look at ours."
Peng Junsong was overjoyed, looked at Li Yuan, and made up his mind: "It's true, Xiao Man only reached your shoulders when he saw it."
"Wool yarn!" Peng Xiaoman threw the frying knife in his hand to his father, then suddenly turned around and approached Li Yuan, and looked up at him with dissatisfaction on his face: "How about I go to his Adam's apple?! Come on, come on, if you don't believe me, let me compare with him." You see."
Li Yuan suddenly stood up straight, staring down at him.
"Don't stand up straight all of a sudden." Peng Xiaoman's nose was close to Li Yuan's collarbone, he couldn't help laughing, and the slight air flow rushed towards him when he spoke.
Ge Xiuyin looked at the staggered height difference between the two: "Why don't you stand upright and let the water go for you? You've just reached the shoulders."
"Don't, don't, don't accept, appeal, wait until I stand up straight!" Peng Xiaoman suddenly stretched his shoulders like a bamboo shoot breaking through the ground, the top of his hair and Li Yuan's chin were barely touching, his straightened chest and Li Yuan The kites collided together.
thump.
The pebbles fell into the water, the flower buds fell off the calyx and touched the soil, the tip of the chalk hit the blackboard, and I don't know what made the sound.
"...Isn't it true that you didn't reach your Adam's apple?" Peng Xiaoman gesticulated twice on the top of his head out of thin air, then landed on tiptoe, listening to his parents laughing behind his back, he asked Li Yuan in a low voice, "Isn't this embarrassing..."
"I owe you a favor again, the fairy wand twice."
"what?"
Li Yuan laughed softly on the top of her hair, acted with him, gave him face, bent her knees imperceptibly, and supported his shoulders, "It's here, it's just right."
When Li Yuan opened the door and entered the room, Lin Yixiong just put on an old T-shirt covered with cat fur on the sofa, and his old waist was still exposed.He was taken aback in the living room, and gave a soft yo in a strange tone, thinking that he would come back in the afternoon.
"Why are you back now?"
Li Yuan took off her bag and umbrella, squatted down to change her shoes, and brushed off the drizzle of raindrops on her eyebrows, "It sounds like you don't welcome me back."
"Hey, do you mean me?" Lin Yixiong pulled down the hem of his clothes and scratched his disheveled hair.
"Are you taking a day off today?" Li Yuan put on her sandals, took advantage of the time she bowed her waist, and picked up Nunu who immediately ran over to his arms, holding her back to keep her from having fun, and looked up at his father's sleepy and untidy look, "Aren't you just getting up?"
Lin Yixiong nodded, said "ah" vaguely, and went into the kitchen, "Have you eaten yet? Didn't eat the hot soup for you, the crucian carp soup cooked yesterday."
"I bought noodles." Li Yuan paused and asked, "You cook rice and soup when I'm not at home, and you order takeaway for me when I'm at home?"
The gas stove is old, covered with a layer of brown-yellow greasy putty, Lin Yixiong "clicked" for the first time and didn't make any sound, so he bent down to watch the stove head make a second sound, unexpectedly the flames slammed into the ground again Jumping up, he almost singed off his eyebrows. "I'll start a small stove while you're away. It's a good thing you came back in the morning, and I won't leave you one when you come back in the afternoon." Lin Yixiong stepped back, helped the Fuxi pot, and picked up the spoon lying in the pot .
"Father, it's like a fake." Li Yuan held Nunu under her arm and went into the kitchen to pour water.
Lin Yixiong seldom listened to Li Yuan talking to him with a sense of ridicule in such words, with such a pleasant face, as if he was slightly happy in his heart.Lin Yixiong was quite surprised. He stirred the pot and put it aside. He paused for a while and turned to ask him, "You guys also won awards this year?"
"No, I didn't make it to the finals." A dirty scab formed on Nunu's mouth. I don't know what it was. Li Yuan lowered her head and saw it. She lifted its soft neck and scratched it gently, " This year there may be black whistle, which is boring and not well coordinated.”
"Is there still black whistle for this?! Isn't it all students competing, who can get the benefits of black?"
When the scab was pulled off, it was found to be a piece of dried meat sticking to her mouth. Li Yuan frowned in disgust, and pressed hard on the pad, causing it to turn its head and open its mouth to bite.Li Yuan dodged it with her hands, and wiped her hands on its smooth fur back, "Why can't I catch it? You just think it is."
"Then you've retired? You won't be bothered by this anymore?" Lin Yixiong turned off the stove, and used a towel to cover his hot ears on both sides of the pot.
It's quite sad to tell Lin Yixiong, like a fucking veteran retiring.
Li Yuan let Nunu go to play, and watched it walk away, "Well, not only did he retire naked, but he also lost his life at the end of the day."
Lin Yixiong is actually a good cook. When he was chasing Li Xiaoxing back then, others sent flowers and chocolates, and took the girl to the theater to watch a movie.The old man took a slant and found a new way, wearing a brand-new police uniform to go to the health school to deliver food and soup, so that Li Xiaoxing was gossiped by his classmates in the health school, and Lin Yixiong was probably caused by the cooking company, so he couldn't help telling him not to give it away.Ordinarily put on the other person, hearing the refusal in these words should also open up a little bit of insight, right?No, Lin Yixiong no.Later, it was no longer delivered, and instead dragged people directly to the restaurant.
The food streets near Zhujiatang, near the health school, near the police academy, near the old railway station, and the food streets with names in Qingyi City were eaten by the two of them.Lin Yixiong's head inlaid with elm wood, while serving vegetables in Li Xiaoxing's bowl, he smacked his lips and said: "It's not as good as mine, it's not as good as my cooking."At that time, Li Xiaoxing thought he was cute in her heart, stopped her chopsticks, raised her almond-eyed and peach-cheeked face and asked him: How can I make me fat if I eat it?
marry.Lin Yixiong answered like this that year.
Happy to see that the blow shattered the girl's remaining heart, and successfully hugged the beauty to the big bed. Li Xiaoxing was pregnant with Li Yuan just after graduating from the medical school for an internship.
It cannot be said that love is the most important thing, but without this thing, there will be less empathy and illusory purpose in doing many things.Lin Yixiong is like a top killer who has retired from the arena after his lover died. After the divorce, he seldom cooks.
But Li Yuan always kept in mind his habit of choosing ingredients and seasoning.So he took a sip of the fish soup, although it was boiling hot, it tasted strange, and there was no memory of the past on his taste buds.Li Yuan woke up as if waking up from sleep, Lin Yixiong couldn't have burned it.Who could that be?Who has entered this house without him?
"Aren't you in a hurry to review your homework this afternoon?" Lin Yixiong leaned back on the sofa, flipped through the morning newspaper, and turned on the TV in the living room.
"Well, what's the matter?" Li Yuan felt uncomfortable, pushed away the soup bowl, picked up chopsticks and sliced noodles, and threw the set-top box remote control on the dining table to him.
"Oh, you're so accurate!" The remote control hit Lin Yixiong's hip bone. He didn't dodge it, gritted his teeth in pain, took a few bites and continued: "Then you bring your ID card, and we'll go to the insurance company to get you This year's marriage insurance has been taken, and he wants you to be there in person."
"What risk?"
"Marriage, have you never heard of children's marriage insurance? You can receive four years of college education fees when the insured reaches the full limit. There are not many, so it just happens to be able to pay your school's summer tuition fees." Lin Yixiong put his hands on the back of his head, "... I almost forgot about the insurance that your mother gave you back then."
"I might have something to do this afternoon."
"What? Go play games?" Lin Yixiong asked.
Li Yuan clicked her tongue, "No, I want to visit my mother."
Lin Yixiong paused for a long time without saying a word, "Oh, your mother..."
"There seems to be something wrong with the birth test. I don't worry about her."
Lin Yixiong propped up his upper body and sat halfway up, his face underwent a drastic change, first the most common confusion surfaced, then soon sank, replaced by hesitation, this hesitation was very short, and disappeared in a flash.Then it was spread out layer by layer in surprise, with a little bit of untraceable resentment.In the end, she lost any expression, and only asked slowly: "...Is your mother pregnant?"
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, Li Yuan put down her chopsticks and walked to the entrance, and saw an aunt standing at the door.
The one in charge of accounts and logistics at Lin Yixiong's police station, the one who ran into him when he came back early because of a fever last time, and the one who knitted himself a sweater whose sleeves were too short to wear. "Old Lin, I forgot my bag—" the woman called out affectionately, looking up through the dusty screen door.
Li Yuan stood there, stunned, seeing the woman's smile froze awkwardly around her mouth, hearing her half-spoken words, she understood a little bit, so she suddenly didn't know what to say.
I could only turn around and shout: "...Dad, Aunt Qiu."
Lin Yixiong was like a firecracker jumping his butt, jumping up all of a sudden.
Ge Xiuyin sat on Peng Xiaoman's bed as if she was offering treasures, telling her one by one that she had carried them from Yungu to give his precious son food and clothing.Two pairs of long johns with polyester fleece, four pieces of cured duck legs, one catty of dried radish, two bags of caramelized three-walnut kernels, one bucket of exquisitely packaged dendrobium flowers that can be brewed for tea, two boxes of goat milk powder imported from Australia, one Limited edition LAMY gay purple.The man was spread out, and Peng Xiaoman sat cross-legged on the bed next to his mother, hugging his arms and laughing non-stop, saying that you are not afraid of giving my dad a herniated disc.
"Hey, encourage my son to get first place in the final Chinese test. Your dad picked a pen for you. If you don't like the color, I will ask him to go to the counter to change it. There are red, green, and yellow ones." Ge Xiuyin unfolded the exquisite LAMY carefully. Packing box, "It's so expensive. Your dad insisted that this is good. I heard the shopping guide brag about it, saying that students use this now. I still don't believe it. Now students use pens that are hundreds of dollars larger?"
Peng Xiaoman took the box, thinking about how straight his father is, he came up with such an idiotic idea of giving the child a pen.But don't tell me, this brand is really good. "It's possible to use them all, but the fire is the fire. I have a classmate who has the same style and the same color."
"Who? Li Yuan?" Ge Xiuyin shook off her long johns: "Wait and try on the length, but I didn't ask you the size. I'm afraid I'll turn around if I get too small."
Li Yuan, I don't know why, but Peng Xiaoman feels that when this name is spoken by his closest relatives, there will always be a sense of wonder.Like something kneaded into a ball.
"Why are you Li Yuan in everything?" Peng Xiaoman held his forehead in his heart and laughed.
"Then I know him among your classmates! You don't stay next to me, and I don't usually look at you. Your father asked you to transfer to a school so far away, and I couldn't go to your school. Look, if I failed to hold a parent-teacher meeting for you, I knew he would just blame him." Ge Xiuyin deliberately lowered the corners of her mouth, because her cheeks were slightly sunken, and once she made such an expression, she immediately looked old.
Ge Xiuyin almost took the opportunity to complain, Peng Xiaoman received all the slight dissatisfaction and overflowing reluctance in her words.My heart was sour for a moment, and my nasal cavity was irritated, but because I was a boy and I was an adult, I couldn't respond to my dear ones without any scruples.He could only lower his head, pursed his lips, and then raised his head with a terribly bright smile: "I'll take you around in the past two days. We Lugaomei, there are bridges, waters, and historic sites."
"When I went to school here, Lugao looked like this. I looked at the pictures on the Internet, and it hasn't changed a bit in the past few years. The tree is still the same tree, and the bridge is still the same bridge." Peng Junsong packed his luggage and went to the public hall at the door. The faucet flushed his face, and while he was talking, he wiped the water from his face and entered the room.
"As soon as I said it, I remembered." Peng Xiaoman pulled a square stool that he usually used as a foothold when doing homework to the bedside, and let her father sit on it. "Is the old class your original teacher?"
"Old Ban?" Peng Junsong wiped his glasses with a tissue, "Oh! Teacher Ban Zhichao?"
"Nonsense, Lugao is the only one whose surname is Ban."
Ge Xiuyin stretched out her hand and gently twisted Peng Xiaoman's arm, "Can I talk nonsense with your father! I miss you."
"Hiss——Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Peng Xiaoman rubbed his arms and hid back, admitting his mistake with a flirtatious smile.
"Didn't he and the two of us just grow up like this, and Ms. Ge and Mr. Peng will be so poor." Peng Junsong smiled, put his glasses back on the bridge of his nose, and squinted his eyes, "Ban Teacher, I have known you for almost 20 years, and I haven’t told you, so you don’t know, do you?”
"I just found out that as soon as he was happy, he sold you."
Peng Junsong reached out and nodded at him: "He teaches mathematics very well and is very responsible, and he has always done a good job in ideological work for students. He enlightened me a lot when I was in school, so I am always grateful to him now. It is true that I have seen less, and I contacted him this time when you transferred to another school."
"I admit that the ideological work is really in place, dad! What kind of concept can you come up with with just opening your mouth?" Peng Xiaoman slapped his thigh and said firmly, "...But mathematics is good at teaching this, I don't feel it, I think he is an old man It is still more suitable for teaching top students, the kind who can keep up with his rhythm and call in class, and those of us who can't keep up with the rhythm are considered to be wandering outside the Three Realms!"
"What are you playing for?" Peng Junsong tilted his head: "Oh, so what? You just sent me your total score and ranking in the final exam, and you didn't—"
"Hey, what! What!" Peng Xiaoman, Fujiwara Takumi possessed him, and hurriedly changed the subject, jumped up from the bed, stretched out his hand, and hurriedly unbuttoned his pants: "Then let me try whether these long johns are short or not! I I think it’s long, um! Looks like it’s long, right? Mom? There’s no way to hem the long johns, right? Then what’s the matter? Would you take it back? Don’t, don’t! It’s too troublesome, so keep it!”
Papa, papa, Peng Xiaoman shot like a gunshot, blocking his father's mouth, and he couldn't speak.After holding back for a long time, she felt relieved, and saw Ge Xiuyin bent over with a smile on the bed.After staring at Peng Xiaoman for a while, he smiled recklessly and shook his head: "You, you don't make progress."
Sure enough, the long johns grew long, covering Peng Xiaoman's insteps, and he turned into pedal trousers.Ge Xiuyin tried her best to lift it up, but Peng Xiaoman yelled and said that he was stuck in the crotch.Ge Xiuyin thought it was a waste, so he smacked his lips, but Peng Junsong's brains turned very fast, and he opened his mouth: "No, send it to your classmate. If you take it back, you won't be able to get it back. No one will wear it. Send it to him. Aren't his legs longer than yours?"
Peng Xiaoman had a black question mark on his face, stretched his neck and said loudly: "I'll send long johns to Li Yuan? What kind of coquettish operation is this?"
"What's the show? Where's the show?" Ge Xiuyin grabbed the long trousers and folded them flat like ramen: "Isn't it good for boys to wear black? Why don't you feel bad about giving it away? This Nanji people's is not a miscellaneous brand. If you send it to me, I will wrap it in a box and send it to you."
"Don't let me not send it!"
"If you don't send it back, I'll send it back. Give me this favor." Ge Xiuyin gestured to get up.
"No! How embarrassing is it to just give long johns? What can I say?! Then what, young man, I'm afraid you can't resist the coldness of the south with your righteousness? Come, I'll give you two long johns to express my heart ? I rely on him to say that I have bubbles in my head!"
"Then you have something else to go with it? Take the long johns with you by the way. Didn't I bring you some special products?"
Peng Junsong clapped his palms: "I remembered, Yungu's June Yellow, I brought a box for you and grandma to eat, and it's still alive and kicking, you can give some to others to try something new, our special product That counts."
"..."
The Chinese people are so eager to rush to give gifts to others that the stink has been passed down to which generation, and Peng Xiao is full of slander.
The old saying always says that when the autumn wind blows, crabs have fat feet, and September is the auspicious time to eat crabs.However, Yungu Qifeng has a well-developed water system in Baoyue, and June Yellow is famous outside. Locals like foreigners to buy it, but it is only good to eat in July and August.Peng Xiaoman was very miserable when he was a child. One day when he was eight years old, he ate Panhe shrimp in the morning and had a high fever in the afternoon. He had a very itchy school rash. The teacher rushed him to the hospital for a doctor, saying that he was allergic to seafood. , I have to take drips for three days in a row.As a result, after the age of eight, Ge Xiuyin strictly controlled his three meals, and he had never seen anything with a fishy smell on the dining table.The trouble made him feel ashamed and ignorant, the crabs that the little classmates said, he had never eaten them at such a big age, he was ashamed.
After many years, I was unprotected once, and I ate dumplings in soup with crab roe on the wine table in a daze. I didn't realize it until I got home and told my mother.The two of them immediately turned on the tenth-level preparation and defense mode, and waited for the rash to break out.Peng Xiaoman was happy, but Ge Xiuyin was still wary. He tried a bowl of river prawns for him every other meal, and it was okay, and he tried a piece of octopus for another meal, and it was okay, and he took back a bag of hemp for another meal, and ate it without a hitch. Eat it, it's still fine.Since then, the ban on He Seafood has been fully lifted, and it has returned to the historical stage of the Peng family.I'm so sorry for Peng Xiaoman, I thought it was useless to delay my time of talking about crabs for so many years!
So Peng Xiaoman has always had a kind of love for Yungu's crabs that he has loved for many years, ten of them for a meal, drizzle.Covering the top of his hair with one hand, he quickly walked into Li Yuanjia's doorway and climbed up a flight of stairs. He suddenly felt a little inexplicably, and put aside his long johns and complicated and unexplainable scruples, "Send the things you like to me." To Li Yuan", this matter made him happy, and he walked briskly.
There is no reason.
Lin Yixiong went downstairs to buy cigarettes in the morning and found an excuse to escape.Li Yuan washed her hair, shaved off the slightly protruding beard around her lips, changed into a pair of brand new jeans to see Li Xiaoxing, put on her shoes and opened the door, and just returned from the Maternal and Child Health Hospital.So he met Peng Xiaoman who was carrying his things and turned the corner on the fourth floor.
"Hey, it's fate." Peng Xiaoman hid the long johns behind his back, lowered his head and picked up the crab in his hand to show him: "Special product, my parents gave you June Yellow, and you can keep it for another two days." Li Yuan was taken aback, let go of the doorknob, and looked at the pine-green gauze net in his hand, which was wrapped around a ball of tiles.Peng Xiaoman raised his face and met him with a glance, feeling that he was unhappy, even though the man hadn't even opened his mouth for a single dot.Thinking about it quickly, the two of them met for a short time, only a few months, and they couldn't reach the point of being very familiar with each other.
For a long time after Peng Xiaoman's death, he has always advertised himself with a big face, thinking that he is delicate on the inside, but he is actually quite accurate in judging people, and he can easily find out without much effort.But at some point in the future, he gradually realized that in general, he was always considered the heartless group, and what he could see clearly was only the appearance in the eyes of the young man. Only when he was facing Li Yuan could he be so With a sudden glance, he is so keen and thoughtful and full of emotions for no reason, and can discern his subtle differences from the details that he almost never expresses directly.
"You, what's wrong with you?"
There was still a drizzle outside the pierced window at the top of the stairs, and the cart downstairs was tinkling past from the alley.
Just like when we came, there are still tall buildings on both sides of the return road, planted with densely branched and leafy sycamores.Li Yuan sat next to You Kaifeng, watching him slumped on the sofa and looking out the car window, listening to him chewing the gum in his mouth, and occasionally making a loud "boo", blowing a round bubble .
Li Yuan remembers that You Kaifeng mentioned the idea of film and television performances to him a long time ago. It was a music appreciation class in the first semester of the second year of high school. Wen Qing, a female teacher from Northeast Damengzi, played "Black Swan" in class.
Natalie Portman's superb acting skills and flourishing beauty impressed everyone in the class. Li Yuan watched the whole part and admitted that this white fairy girl is indeed a concrete expression of Nina's two personality tendencies. To full marks.But apart from the movie itself, what surprised Li Yuan even more was You Kaifeng's quietness and concentration throughout the class.In Li Yuan's tasting class, he even made up a buoyancy problem in the physics workbook, and broke a 0.5 core while drawing a picture. After a group, he went to You Kaifeng to get it, and saw the quietness floating on his face. .
Looking back on Li Yuan now, there was a rare seriousness in his expression, and it even seemed a little too hard.It is not so appropriate to insist on an analogy. It is almost like Zhao Ji who "cannot be the king alone", staring at the map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with bated breath.Enthusiasm but fear, hesitation and persistence.It is not too exaggerated to say emotionally, just like the thing in front of me is a dream that I can't touch.
The female teacher Wenqing asked a question in class, and You Kaifeng was the only one who raised his hand to answer. He clearly said a simple movie review, but he was a little nervous, and he repeated some emphatic sentences inadvertently several times.The female teacher nodded patiently and with a smile, and asked him if he knew who the director of "Black Swan" was. You Kaifeng didn't pause, and then replied: Dano Aronofsky, and then the class sighed .Li Yuan was quite surprised, not only because he answered quickly and accurately, but also because this was the only time he raised his hand since he knew You Kaifeng.
Li Yuan didn't think much about it at the time, she just felt that everyone has something to shine, and it was quite amusing to think that Mr. Kai is rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so how can he show off his beauty? meeting.Looking at it today, he is also quite good at movies, but he is really an artistic bacteria.
Then making a close connection between the time and the present, Li Yuan suddenly understood that You Kaifeng was really a clean and clear person.Have a direction from the beginning.Not only that, but also the courage of little money, the determination to overcome all difficulties and focus on one point.Although Li Yuan also thinks that with his family conditions, escorts are on his side, there are too many ways to go back, and it won't hurt too much if he falls.
Li Yuan and him usually communicate on the basis of hate, loss, and poverty. Li Yuan seldom gives him affirmation because he feels that it is not necessary to do so because it is related to such a degree. Sophisticated and flattering, because I feel a little resentful, even if I really think it's good, I can't say good things about the other party.But You Kaifeng looks a little too imaginary now, usually alone with his teeth and claws, shriveled and shrunk in a corner.
Li Yuan couldn't bear it and patted him.
"Hey?" You Kaifeng turned his head, and the bubbles in his mouth just burst.
"When you drive to the front of this road, turn left at the intersection, which is the back door of the Jinguan Campus of Lishang Film Academy, it seems."
You Kaifeng was taken aback for a moment, then his expression brightened again, and his eyebrows stretched: "Damn? How do you know?"
"I used to travel with my parents when I was young. I saw the road sign just now, and I suddenly remembered it." Li Yuan folded her arms and leaned on the backrest, and pressed her nose: "From the back door, you should be able to see Liying's experimental theater Red Building and the entrance. Brecht sculpture, you can be regarded as a visit here, pray to the great god and pray for blessings."
After listening to the giggling, You Kaifeng took out the camera to adjust the focus, held up the lens and pointed it out of the window.The bus moved forward at a constant speed, and the shadows of the phoenix trees on the inside all swept over the roof and then slid towards the rear of the car. Li Yuan half-closed her eyelids, seeing that You Kaifeng and Peng Xiaoman were leaning against the window, and the sunlight shone down concisely. Let their faces glow with a golden color.
As soon as they entered Qingyi City, the car windows were splashed with water stains. Today is the melancholy light rain in July and August.
The bus got on Wanqiao and stopped at the gate of Lugao. The drowsy students got out of the bus with their bags on their backs. The teachers in each class counted the number of people. Before the rain started, they hurriedly ordered the safety on the road. When you get home, report your safety in the class in time, don't forget to go home and take care of yourself and hurry up to preview and review the book, and then you slap your hands and call for dismissal.
On the one hand, You Kaifeng was rich and powerful, and on the other hand, because he was afraid that his tens of thousands of dollars of cameras would be damaged, he turned on his mobile phone and called a Didi, but Xu Ming, Lu Qingyuan and his party forcibly took advantage of it on the grounds of "taking a hand with them along the way". Five of them were squeezed into the small Honda, leaving Peng Xiaoman and Li Yuan to cover their heads with their hands under the rain curtain.
The Honda drove five meters, and the lights stopped. Zhou Yiqing opened the door and threw down a three-fold umbrella with a pink floral bottom: "Umbrella for you two! Give it back to me when school starts!", and then closed the door with a "snap", and drove away from the narrow strip. night bridge.
Peng Xiaoman walked over to pick up the umbrella, stared at it for seven or eight seconds as if in a dilemma, unfolded it, shook it off, turned around and handed the umbrella to Li Yuan: "Come on, young man, hold it."
Li Yuan didn't answer, and narrowed her eyes: "I call?"
"what."
"why?"
"Because you are tall, whoever is taller will fight. Isn't this the rule of the world?"
The standard answer is "You're short, why don't you buy sesame seed cakes", but Li Yuan didn't say that, if he was someone else, he might not be able to agree to be taken advantage of.Li Yuan reluctantly took the folded umbrella from Peng Xiaoman who couldn't help laughing, and opened the ribs.I don’t know if I don’t support it, but I am startled when I support it, a short and dense tassel pendant falls down from the edge of the umbrella surface, and the end of the tie is quite noble and elegant, with rhinestones inlaid.Broken leg.
The two of them were supporting a powdery cloud, with the embarrassment of capital letters and bold words in their hearts.Not only because of this girl's broken flower umbrella, but also because of walking like this, the two of them will touch each other unconsciously because of the occasional instability of their bodies.Peng Xiaoman hummed Duan'er's not-so-famous tune, and deliberately moved slightly to one side. Li Yuan didn't make a sound when he saw it, and after a while, he slowly moved closer to cover him more calmly.
As the rain gets heavier, it is inevitable to get closer so as not to get wet.Stepping up Mingxi Road, Peng Xiaoman folded his bag and raised his eyes, only to realize that the umbrella was always slightly tilted in his direction.
The Zhujiatang on a rainy day looks a bit like Dai Wangshu's "Rain Lane" when viewed from the outside, but it is not so simple, and there are no girls holding oil-paper umbrellas, only two elders holding pink umbrellas them.In the morning, Lishang left at a time when the highway was not blocked. Neither of them had time to eat breakfast. They passed by the Lanzhou Ramen Restaurant in Yinhe Park, and neither of them could hold back. One of them took a beef stir-fried knife and sliced it home.Holding the umbrella, Li Yuan watched Peng Xiaoman bow his head to pick out some change for a long time, and then paid for it for him.
Peng Xiaoman thought that there was still one day before he could return to Qingyi, and his grandma, who was probably dancing with her ladyboy sister on the cruise ship in Pattaya, suddenly felt the desolation of being alone and widowed, and couldn't help feeling sad, and sighed and fumbled from the bag. I don't know where the door key is.Complaining and saying haha, just as Li Yuan and Li Yuan entered the alley side by side, they heard someone calling him from a door.The gentle and calm tone is not familiar, but it rang in my heart.
The family living in the outer alley, the husband and wife are in the business of roasting pears with rock sugar. They set up a stall in the evening, and the proprietress occasionally carries a large basin during the day and washes pears in the public faucet. When they meet, they nod as a way of saying hello.She opened the screen door outside for Ge Xiuyin, and smiled: "Can you hear your son coming back from far away?"
"That's right, my heart is anxious."
Peng Xiaoman stopped on the spot in a daze, did not speak, saw his mother slowly pulling up her hair, came out of the other house with a smile, shrugged her shoulders complacently, clapped her hands lightly, and looked inside. Hook, like leading an ignorant doll into his arms.Behind him, Peng Junsong was pushing an old but clean trolley case and holding on to a small folded wheelchair, thanking the hostess repeatedly.
"I rely on you two..." Peng Xiaoman touched the tip of his nose as if he was at a loss, scratched the top of his hair quickly and awkwardly, and glanced at Li Yuan without knowing why, and then burst into a very bright smile, shouting Voice: "Mom?!"
Li Yuan raised her eyebrows, suddenly being called by him, she pushed hard with joy and vitality that she had never seen or heard before.
"Hey."
Ge Xiuyin and Peng Junsong arrived unexpectedly, just to surprise Peng Xiaoman, achieve his goal and be satisfied.Her gait was still more flamboyant than ordinary people, she walked forward with less fluent movements, raised her hand to brush Peng Xiaoman's temple hair, and softly covered the back of his head, Peng Xiaoman stepped forward obediently, Under the umbrella, close to her.Ge Xiuyin looked at Peng Xiaoman up and down, and the wrinkles at the end of his eyes were wrinkled: "You're thinner again? Look, Lao Peng, is our Xiaoman thinner?"
Peng Junsong stood behind, pushed his glasses and shook his head, finally couldn't hold back, and put the back of his hand on Peng Xiaoman's cheek lightly: "The face is sunken, but I'll see if I'm fine."
Peng Xiaoman's parents came from Yungu to visit Peng Xiaoman, and Li Yuan understood it. She put away her umbrella, shook off the raindrops, and retreated to the eaves of the outer alley: "Hello, Uncle and Auntie."
Peng Xiaoman turned his head to look at him, Peng Junsong and Ge Xiuyin also closed their eyes and fell on him.
Li Yuan always kept it in mind, and never asked or mentioned it. He remembered that Li Xiaoxing told him after the parents' meeting that Peng Xiaoman's family was not in good condition, and his mother had chronic diseases, including uremia.That night in Lishang, I accidentally answered a short phone call with her, and because of Peng Xiaoman's momentary mischief, the two of them said a few specious words rather awkwardly.On the phone, Ge Xiuyin smiled softly and nervously, and said, Li Yuan, right?Hey, good name, I am Xiaoman's mother, my surname is Ge, the Ge of Xiaqiudongge.
It is not impossible to describe through sound reverie.At that time, Li Yuan suddenly guessed that Peng Xiaoman's mother should have such a full, delicate and soft vocal cords, and fluent oral expression, she should actually be very energetic, right?Perhaps it was really my mother's hearsay, and for the sake of dramatic conversation, she relayed the facts contrary to the facts.But after actually seeing her, Li Yuan believed it. She believed that Peng Xiaoman's mother was a sick patient with serious illnesses all over her body.
Eyes can't deceive people, so Ge Xiuyin's eyes are tired and tired at a glance, not as clear-cut as Peng Xiaoman's, and the whites of the eyes seem to be covered with a thin layer of familiarity, revealing the faintness of ancient scrolls. yellow.Probably due to impaired kidney function, she often suffers from anemia, and Ge Xiuyin's face is pale with a sallow tinge.She is thin enough, and she loves to be pretty in summer. She wears a taupe-colored skirt that is quite slim, and is knee-length, so she can't hold it up well.
Only her hair is black and long, her facial features are suitable, and she has the delicacy inherited by Peng Xiaoman.But we can't just attribute it to Ge Xiuyin. Peng Junsong is tall and straight, with the upright manner of an academic researcher, and he is also very dignified.It's a pity that the age is probably not very old, and the temples are grayed out, and the eyebrows and eyes are connected to the top of the hair, which is an unconventional old look.
Li Yuan felt that in Peng Xiaoman's family, Peng Xiaoman was two warm people, and they collided with each other.At first glance, his personality is neither like his father nor his mother, he is unrestrained and enthusiastic, lively and eccentric a bit too much.After watching for a long time, I realized that he still has this kind of "family tradition" or "gene" in his bones, gentle and calm, and caring about things.
Peng Junsong nodded to Li Yuan, and Ge Xiuyin asked Li Yuan, "How are you, classmate Xiao Man? I'm his mother, and you live at home—"
"You are stupid, you never thought of living with me." Peng Xiaoman remembered that there was another hero standing there, and interrupted her: "He is Li Yuan, the all-round student I told you is at the same table, Qing Yi Wu Yanzu."
Ge Xiuyin opened her eyes wide, and said "oh" after listening to it, and after a long sound, her eyes immediately swept away half of the fatigue, and looked at Li Yuan as if she had turned on a light. Embarrassed.She raised her hand and dusted off Peng Junsong: "Old Peng, your son is at the same table. Look at his height and stature, and then look at ours."
Peng Junsong was overjoyed, looked at Li Yuan, and made up his mind: "It's true, Xiao Man only reached your shoulders when he saw it."
"Wool yarn!" Peng Xiaoman threw the frying knife in his hand to his father, then suddenly turned around and approached Li Yuan, and looked up at him with dissatisfaction on his face: "How about I go to his Adam's apple?! Come on, come on, if you don't believe me, let me compare with him." You see."
Li Yuan suddenly stood up straight, staring down at him.
"Don't stand up straight all of a sudden." Peng Xiaoman's nose was close to Li Yuan's collarbone, he couldn't help laughing, and the slight air flow rushed towards him when he spoke.
Ge Xiuyin looked at the staggered height difference between the two: "Why don't you stand upright and let the water go for you? You've just reached the shoulders."
"Don't, don't, don't accept, appeal, wait until I stand up straight!" Peng Xiaoman suddenly stretched his shoulders like a bamboo shoot breaking through the ground, the top of his hair and Li Yuan's chin were barely touching, his straightened chest and Li Yuan The kites collided together.
thump.
The pebbles fell into the water, the flower buds fell off the calyx and touched the soil, the tip of the chalk hit the blackboard, and I don't know what made the sound.
"...Isn't it true that you didn't reach your Adam's apple?" Peng Xiaoman gesticulated twice on the top of his head out of thin air, then landed on tiptoe, listening to his parents laughing behind his back, he asked Li Yuan in a low voice, "Isn't this embarrassing..."
"I owe you a favor again, the fairy wand twice."
"what?"
Li Yuan laughed softly on the top of her hair, acted with him, gave him face, bent her knees imperceptibly, and supported his shoulders, "It's here, it's just right."
When Li Yuan opened the door and entered the room, Lin Yixiong just put on an old T-shirt covered with cat fur on the sofa, and his old waist was still exposed.He was taken aback in the living room, and gave a soft yo in a strange tone, thinking that he would come back in the afternoon.
"Why are you back now?"
Li Yuan took off her bag and umbrella, squatted down to change her shoes, and brushed off the drizzle of raindrops on her eyebrows, "It sounds like you don't welcome me back."
"Hey, do you mean me?" Lin Yixiong pulled down the hem of his clothes and scratched his disheveled hair.
"Are you taking a day off today?" Li Yuan put on her sandals, took advantage of the time she bowed her waist, and picked up Nunu who immediately ran over to his arms, holding her back to keep her from having fun, and looked up at his father's sleepy and untidy look, "Aren't you just getting up?"
Lin Yixiong nodded, said "ah" vaguely, and went into the kitchen, "Have you eaten yet? Didn't eat the hot soup for you, the crucian carp soup cooked yesterday."
"I bought noodles." Li Yuan paused and asked, "You cook rice and soup when I'm not at home, and you order takeaway for me when I'm at home?"
The gas stove is old, covered with a layer of brown-yellow greasy putty, Lin Yixiong "clicked" for the first time and didn't make any sound, so he bent down to watch the stove head make a second sound, unexpectedly the flames slammed into the ground again Jumping up, he almost singed off his eyebrows. "I'll start a small stove while you're away. It's a good thing you came back in the morning, and I won't leave you one when you come back in the afternoon." Lin Yixiong stepped back, helped the Fuxi pot, and picked up the spoon lying in the pot .
"Father, it's like a fake." Li Yuan held Nunu under her arm and went into the kitchen to pour water.
Lin Yixiong seldom listened to Li Yuan talking to him with a sense of ridicule in such words, with such a pleasant face, as if he was slightly happy in his heart.Lin Yixiong was quite surprised. He stirred the pot and put it aside. He paused for a while and turned to ask him, "You guys also won awards this year?"
"No, I didn't make it to the finals." A dirty scab formed on Nunu's mouth. I don't know what it was. Li Yuan lowered her head and saw it. She lifted its soft neck and scratched it gently, " This year there may be black whistle, which is boring and not well coordinated.”
"Is there still black whistle for this?! Isn't it all students competing, who can get the benefits of black?"
When the scab was pulled off, it was found to be a piece of dried meat sticking to her mouth. Li Yuan frowned in disgust, and pressed hard on the pad, causing it to turn its head and open its mouth to bite.Li Yuan dodged it with her hands, and wiped her hands on its smooth fur back, "Why can't I catch it? You just think it is."
"Then you've retired? You won't be bothered by this anymore?" Lin Yixiong turned off the stove, and used a towel to cover his hot ears on both sides of the pot.
It's quite sad to tell Lin Yixiong, like a fucking veteran retiring.
Li Yuan let Nunu go to play, and watched it walk away, "Well, not only did he retire naked, but he also lost his life at the end of the day."
Lin Yixiong is actually a good cook. When he was chasing Li Xiaoxing back then, others sent flowers and chocolates, and took the girl to the theater to watch a movie.The old man took a slant and found a new way, wearing a brand-new police uniform to go to the health school to deliver food and soup, so that Li Xiaoxing was gossiped by his classmates in the health school, and Lin Yixiong was probably caused by the cooking company, so he couldn't help telling him not to give it away.Ordinarily put on the other person, hearing the refusal in these words should also open up a little bit of insight, right?No, Lin Yixiong no.Later, it was no longer delivered, and instead dragged people directly to the restaurant.
The food streets near Zhujiatang, near the health school, near the police academy, near the old railway station, and the food streets with names in Qingyi City were eaten by the two of them.Lin Yixiong's head inlaid with elm wood, while serving vegetables in Li Xiaoxing's bowl, he smacked his lips and said: "It's not as good as mine, it's not as good as my cooking."At that time, Li Xiaoxing thought he was cute in her heart, stopped her chopsticks, raised her almond-eyed and peach-cheeked face and asked him: How can I make me fat if I eat it?
marry.Lin Yixiong answered like this that year.
Happy to see that the blow shattered the girl's remaining heart, and successfully hugged the beauty to the big bed. Li Xiaoxing was pregnant with Li Yuan just after graduating from the medical school for an internship.
It cannot be said that love is the most important thing, but without this thing, there will be less empathy and illusory purpose in doing many things.Lin Yixiong is like a top killer who has retired from the arena after his lover died. After the divorce, he seldom cooks.
But Li Yuan always kept in mind his habit of choosing ingredients and seasoning.So he took a sip of the fish soup, although it was boiling hot, it tasted strange, and there was no memory of the past on his taste buds.Li Yuan woke up as if waking up from sleep, Lin Yixiong couldn't have burned it.Who could that be?Who has entered this house without him?
"Aren't you in a hurry to review your homework this afternoon?" Lin Yixiong leaned back on the sofa, flipped through the morning newspaper, and turned on the TV in the living room.
"Well, what's the matter?" Li Yuan felt uncomfortable, pushed away the soup bowl, picked up chopsticks and sliced noodles, and threw the set-top box remote control on the dining table to him.
"Oh, you're so accurate!" The remote control hit Lin Yixiong's hip bone. He didn't dodge it, gritted his teeth in pain, took a few bites and continued: "Then you bring your ID card, and we'll go to the insurance company to get you This year's marriage insurance has been taken, and he wants you to be there in person."
"What risk?"
"Marriage, have you never heard of children's marriage insurance? You can receive four years of college education fees when the insured reaches the full limit. There are not many, so it just happens to be able to pay your school's summer tuition fees." Lin Yixiong put his hands on the back of his head, "... I almost forgot about the insurance that your mother gave you back then."
"I might have something to do this afternoon."
"What? Go play games?" Lin Yixiong asked.
Li Yuan clicked her tongue, "No, I want to visit my mother."
Lin Yixiong paused for a long time without saying a word, "Oh, your mother..."
"There seems to be something wrong with the birth test. I don't worry about her."
Lin Yixiong propped up his upper body and sat halfway up, his face underwent a drastic change, first the most common confusion surfaced, then soon sank, replaced by hesitation, this hesitation was very short, and disappeared in a flash.Then it was spread out layer by layer in surprise, with a little bit of untraceable resentment.In the end, she lost any expression, and only asked slowly: "...Is your mother pregnant?"
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, Li Yuan put down her chopsticks and walked to the entrance, and saw an aunt standing at the door.
The one in charge of accounts and logistics at Lin Yixiong's police station, the one who ran into him when he came back early because of a fever last time, and the one who knitted himself a sweater whose sleeves were too short to wear. "Old Lin, I forgot my bag—" the woman called out affectionately, looking up through the dusty screen door.
Li Yuan stood there, stunned, seeing the woman's smile froze awkwardly around her mouth, hearing her half-spoken words, she understood a little bit, so she suddenly didn't know what to say.
I could only turn around and shout: "...Dad, Aunt Qiu."
Lin Yixiong was like a firecracker jumping his butt, jumping up all of a sudden.
Ge Xiuyin sat on Peng Xiaoman's bed as if she was offering treasures, telling her one by one that she had carried them from Yungu to give his precious son food and clothing.Two pairs of long johns with polyester fleece, four pieces of cured duck legs, one catty of dried radish, two bags of caramelized three-walnut kernels, one bucket of exquisitely packaged dendrobium flowers that can be brewed for tea, two boxes of goat milk powder imported from Australia, one Limited edition LAMY gay purple.The man was spread out, and Peng Xiaoman sat cross-legged on the bed next to his mother, hugging his arms and laughing non-stop, saying that you are not afraid of giving my dad a herniated disc.
"Hey, encourage my son to get first place in the final Chinese test. Your dad picked a pen for you. If you don't like the color, I will ask him to go to the counter to change it. There are red, green, and yellow ones." Ge Xiuyin unfolded the exquisite LAMY carefully. Packing box, "It's so expensive. Your dad insisted that this is good. I heard the shopping guide brag about it, saying that students use this now. I still don't believe it. Now students use pens that are hundreds of dollars larger?"
Peng Xiaoman took the box, thinking about how straight his father is, he came up with such an idiotic idea of giving the child a pen.But don't tell me, this brand is really good. "It's possible to use them all, but the fire is the fire. I have a classmate who has the same style and the same color."
"Who? Li Yuan?" Ge Xiuyin shook off her long johns: "Wait and try on the length, but I didn't ask you the size. I'm afraid I'll turn around if I get too small."
Li Yuan, I don't know why, but Peng Xiaoman feels that when this name is spoken by his closest relatives, there will always be a sense of wonder.Like something kneaded into a ball.
"Why are you Li Yuan in everything?" Peng Xiaoman held his forehead in his heart and laughed.
"Then I know him among your classmates! You don't stay next to me, and I don't usually look at you. Your father asked you to transfer to a school so far away, and I couldn't go to your school. Look, if I failed to hold a parent-teacher meeting for you, I knew he would just blame him." Ge Xiuyin deliberately lowered the corners of her mouth, because her cheeks were slightly sunken, and once she made such an expression, she immediately looked old.
Ge Xiuyin almost took the opportunity to complain, Peng Xiaoman received all the slight dissatisfaction and overflowing reluctance in her words.My heart was sour for a moment, and my nasal cavity was irritated, but because I was a boy and I was an adult, I couldn't respond to my dear ones without any scruples.He could only lower his head, pursed his lips, and then raised his head with a terribly bright smile: "I'll take you around in the past two days. We Lugaomei, there are bridges, waters, and historic sites."
"When I went to school here, Lugao looked like this. I looked at the pictures on the Internet, and it hasn't changed a bit in the past few years. The tree is still the same tree, and the bridge is still the same bridge." Peng Junsong packed his luggage and went to the public hall at the door. The faucet flushed his face, and while he was talking, he wiped the water from his face and entered the room.
"As soon as I said it, I remembered." Peng Xiaoman pulled a square stool that he usually used as a foothold when doing homework to the bedside, and let her father sit on it. "Is the old class your original teacher?"
"Old Ban?" Peng Junsong wiped his glasses with a tissue, "Oh! Teacher Ban Zhichao?"
"Nonsense, Lugao is the only one whose surname is Ban."
Ge Xiuyin stretched out her hand and gently twisted Peng Xiaoman's arm, "Can I talk nonsense with your father! I miss you."
"Hiss——Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Peng Xiaoman rubbed his arms and hid back, admitting his mistake with a flirtatious smile.
"Didn't he and the two of us just grow up like this, and Ms. Ge and Mr. Peng will be so poor." Peng Junsong smiled, put his glasses back on the bridge of his nose, and squinted his eyes, "Ban Teacher, I have known you for almost 20 years, and I haven’t told you, so you don’t know, do you?”
"I just found out that as soon as he was happy, he sold you."
Peng Junsong reached out and nodded at him: "He teaches mathematics very well and is very responsible, and he has always done a good job in ideological work for students. He enlightened me a lot when I was in school, so I am always grateful to him now. It is true that I have seen less, and I contacted him this time when you transferred to another school."
"I admit that the ideological work is really in place, dad! What kind of concept can you come up with with just opening your mouth?" Peng Xiaoman slapped his thigh and said firmly, "...But mathematics is good at teaching this, I don't feel it, I think he is an old man It is still more suitable for teaching top students, the kind who can keep up with his rhythm and call in class, and those of us who can't keep up with the rhythm are considered to be wandering outside the Three Realms!"
"What are you playing for?" Peng Junsong tilted his head: "Oh, so what? You just sent me your total score and ranking in the final exam, and you didn't—"
"Hey, what! What!" Peng Xiaoman, Fujiwara Takumi possessed him, and hurriedly changed the subject, jumped up from the bed, stretched out his hand, and hurriedly unbuttoned his pants: "Then let me try whether these long johns are short or not! I I think it’s long, um! Looks like it’s long, right? Mom? There’s no way to hem the long johns, right? Then what’s the matter? Would you take it back? Don’t, don’t! It’s too troublesome, so keep it!”
Papa, papa, Peng Xiaoman shot like a gunshot, blocking his father's mouth, and he couldn't speak.After holding back for a long time, she felt relieved, and saw Ge Xiuyin bent over with a smile on the bed.After staring at Peng Xiaoman for a while, he smiled recklessly and shook his head: "You, you don't make progress."
Sure enough, the long johns grew long, covering Peng Xiaoman's insteps, and he turned into pedal trousers.Ge Xiuyin tried her best to lift it up, but Peng Xiaoman yelled and said that he was stuck in the crotch.Ge Xiuyin thought it was a waste, so he smacked his lips, but Peng Junsong's brains turned very fast, and he opened his mouth: "No, send it to your classmate. If you take it back, you won't be able to get it back. No one will wear it. Send it to him. Aren't his legs longer than yours?"
Peng Xiaoman had a black question mark on his face, stretched his neck and said loudly: "I'll send long johns to Li Yuan? What kind of coquettish operation is this?"
"What's the show? Where's the show?" Ge Xiuyin grabbed the long trousers and folded them flat like ramen: "Isn't it good for boys to wear black? Why don't you feel bad about giving it away? This Nanji people's is not a miscellaneous brand. If you send it to me, I will wrap it in a box and send it to you."
"Don't let me not send it!"
"If you don't send it back, I'll send it back. Give me this favor." Ge Xiuyin gestured to get up.
"No! How embarrassing is it to just give long johns? What can I say?! Then what, young man, I'm afraid you can't resist the coldness of the south with your righteousness? Come, I'll give you two long johns to express my heart ? I rely on him to say that I have bubbles in my head!"
"Then you have something else to go with it? Take the long johns with you by the way. Didn't I bring you some special products?"
Peng Junsong clapped his palms: "I remembered, Yungu's June Yellow, I brought a box for you and grandma to eat, and it's still alive and kicking, you can give some to others to try something new, our special product That counts."
"..."
The Chinese people are so eager to rush to give gifts to others that the stink has been passed down to which generation, and Peng Xiao is full of slander.
The old saying always says that when the autumn wind blows, crabs have fat feet, and September is the auspicious time to eat crabs.However, Yungu Qifeng has a well-developed water system in Baoyue, and June Yellow is famous outside. Locals like foreigners to buy it, but it is only good to eat in July and August.Peng Xiaoman was very miserable when he was a child. One day when he was eight years old, he ate Panhe shrimp in the morning and had a high fever in the afternoon. He had a very itchy school rash. The teacher rushed him to the hospital for a doctor, saying that he was allergic to seafood. , I have to take drips for three days in a row.As a result, after the age of eight, Ge Xiuyin strictly controlled his three meals, and he had never seen anything with a fishy smell on the dining table.The trouble made him feel ashamed and ignorant, the crabs that the little classmates said, he had never eaten them at such a big age, he was ashamed.
After many years, I was unprotected once, and I ate dumplings in soup with crab roe on the wine table in a daze. I didn't realize it until I got home and told my mother.The two of them immediately turned on the tenth-level preparation and defense mode, and waited for the rash to break out.Peng Xiaoman was happy, but Ge Xiuyin was still wary. He tried a bowl of river prawns for him every other meal, and it was okay, and he tried a piece of octopus for another meal, and it was okay, and he took back a bag of hemp for another meal, and ate it without a hitch. Eat it, it's still fine.Since then, the ban on He Seafood has been fully lifted, and it has returned to the historical stage of the Peng family.I'm so sorry for Peng Xiaoman, I thought it was useless to delay my time of talking about crabs for so many years!
So Peng Xiaoman has always had a kind of love for Yungu's crabs that he has loved for many years, ten of them for a meal, drizzle.Covering the top of his hair with one hand, he quickly walked into Li Yuanjia's doorway and climbed up a flight of stairs. He suddenly felt a little inexplicably, and put aside his long johns and complicated and unexplainable scruples, "Send the things you like to me." To Li Yuan", this matter made him happy, and he walked briskly.
There is no reason.
Lin Yixiong went downstairs to buy cigarettes in the morning and found an excuse to escape.Li Yuan washed her hair, shaved off the slightly protruding beard around her lips, changed into a pair of brand new jeans to see Li Xiaoxing, put on her shoes and opened the door, and just returned from the Maternal and Child Health Hospital.So he met Peng Xiaoman who was carrying his things and turned the corner on the fourth floor.
"Hey, it's fate." Peng Xiaoman hid the long johns behind his back, lowered his head and picked up the crab in his hand to show him: "Special product, my parents gave you June Yellow, and you can keep it for another two days." Li Yuan was taken aback, let go of the doorknob, and looked at the pine-green gauze net in his hand, which was wrapped around a ball of tiles.Peng Xiaoman raised his face and met him with a glance, feeling that he was unhappy, even though the man hadn't even opened his mouth for a single dot.Thinking about it quickly, the two of them met for a short time, only a few months, and they couldn't reach the point of being very familiar with each other.
For a long time after Peng Xiaoman's death, he has always advertised himself with a big face, thinking that he is delicate on the inside, but he is actually quite accurate in judging people, and he can easily find out without much effort.But at some point in the future, he gradually realized that in general, he was always considered the heartless group, and what he could see clearly was only the appearance in the eyes of the young man. Only when he was facing Li Yuan could he be so With a sudden glance, he is so keen and thoughtful and full of emotions for no reason, and can discern his subtle differences from the details that he almost never expresses directly.
"You, what's wrong with you?"
There was still a drizzle outside the pierced window at the top of the stairs, and the cart downstairs was tinkling past from the alley.
