This year's begonia flowers bloomed early, and the pink and white blew across the roof of my house, and the itchy feeling of the sun wrapping around my body made people enjoy it extraordinarily. That's it, splendor and freshness are intertwined with a fairy tale season, and I began to believe so.

Before the Chinese New Year, my father went out, and my mother said that he went to attend an executive seminar in other places. But now I often see her alone in the room, so I don't think it's right, Yu Hui told me the same way, and talked about the conversation he heard in the hospital when he was sick. That's when I suddenly realized that something had happened in my family. We've been hiding together these days, wondering if it all has something to do with the woman named Tian Rou they've been talking about lately.

Tian Rou, she is the same age as her mother. Speaking of which, we actually had a relationship with her. At that time, Yu Hui and I were still young, and my parents were worried about leaving us alone at home, so they had to take us to the hotel's annual dinner. Although the time is a little far away, it still can't seal my memory. There was no shortage of beautiful women present that day, Tian Rou avoided the noise and booliness around herself, and came to the terrace, taking advantage of the moonlight, even more beautiful. She has a slender figure and stands tall. Chang Yan is like a concubine, and her wine-red cheeks are slightly drunk. The long hair was blown by the wind, but it did not show the slightest slightness, and Mingjing's forehead was exposed, as if she was in a good mood. Those eyes were cold and glamorous, and they were full of arrogance. The crescent moon appeared under the handsome hill of Jiyan, and the melancholy that spit out seemed to have a heavy heart, and was blown away by the north wind, melodious in the gaps of the stars.

Later, I heard that she was such a woman, and she was both beautiful and beautiful. In my first year at the hotel, I have achieved great results. A delivery company was in arrears for three years, and she settled it in three days. In the same year, she successfully negotiated the Sino-Philippine Food Week plan with JAWA Hotel in the Philippines; in the second year, she organized and assisted in the completion of the company's first overseas chain store, and the benefits increased year by year; in the third year, she was transferred to the purchasing department as a marketing director, and continued to participate in the management of the hotel's marginal industries; in the following years, as the hotel business matured, her position was gradually promoted to marketing manager, taking over her mother's class. In the past ten years, some people in the company have been envious, some people are dissatisfied, some people are secretly flattering, and some people are bad behind their backs, but they have not been able to change or shake her cool eyes. It's just that at the end of the year before last, she went to Japan without her father's consent to make a winter purchase contract with Tingque Food Company. Considering the prestige and the trend of the national situation at that time, the father categorically invalidated the contract, paid eye-popping liquidated damages, and transferred her to the hotel lobby as a manager through the board of directors, and was not allowed to participate in business negotiations for half a year. Six months ago, after her reinstatement, she took a month's vacation to Japan for recuperation the day after signing a contract with 10 hotels in Asia, including the JAWA Hotel in the Philippines. A week later, the four main structural departments, including the engineering department, the marketing department, the purchasing department, and the foreign-related economic joint department, were completely paralyzed, and the hotel could not operate normally. The stranding of the subsequent purchase case is also expected. However, at the emergency general meeting of shareholders held later, the shareholders vetoed his father's loan compensation proposal with a majority of veto rights, and at the same time approved the stock split compensation proposal proposed by Tian Rou, who was in Japan. Eventually, the International Hotel, which marked the number one spot in the restaurant industry in Mexico, announced its closure on Christmas Day of the same year. Although the procuratorate subsequently interrogated Tian Rou several times, no conclusive evidence was found. As one of the company's senior decision-makers, my father also has to bear 20% of the shares as economic compensation for the company. The board of directors remembered that both parents were the founders of the company, and in addition to the stipulated 10 percent of the company's responsibility, 2 percent of the shares were allocated to help pay off the debt. And the remaining 8 percent, at that time, even for families like ours, could only sigh and sigh, and they could not repay everything they had. His father resigned as general manager without waiting for the board of directors to convene and left the hotel where he had been with him for 17 years. Next, the father who was adrift outside raised funds through various channels. Because both parents understand that if they can't get together the funds within the time limit, this lawsuit is enough to destroy this family and destroy this originally warm family.

And these specific events, Yu Hui and I didn't have a very clear concept in our minds at that time, but we just knew that we would step into an unforeseen thorn and could not turn back this time.

"Hey, this is the Fang family, who are you looking for?" the mother heard the phone ringing, picked up the phone and asked.

"Auntie, I'm Yining, is Fang Yuhui here?. ”

"Oh, it's Yining, he's here, please wait. "My mother handed over the phone to Yu Hui, and then asked me to accompany her to visit a few doors.

"Yu Hui, I know that you like painting very much, then you like everything related to art......", Yi Ning's voice seemed very magnetic, and at the same time made the sensitive person feel a kind of temptation.

"yes, you know me well. Yu Hui subconsciously stopped the topic of Yining.

"Do you think the process of encountering people is a work of art?" she continued her conversation.

"Oh, it's so profound. It should be counted that everything in the eyes of human beings with subjective thinking should have artistic value. ”

"I don't quite understand. At this time, Yining's tone became thin and soft.

According to Danny's original words about the value of artistic beauty, it should have both beauty and aesthetics. Yu Hui's answer was a little serious.

"Am I artistic?"

Yu Hui was silent, and his cheeks gradually flushed: "Well, in my opinion, you are very artistic in all aspects. After finishing speaking, I instantly felt an indescribable sweetness in my heart.

They chatted about art on the phone, and I followed my mother through the neat streets and alleys, in and out of the high-rise villas. I wonder why the owners of each house are the same - first to greet each other, then to each other, and finally to part. The mother's face became more bloody as the scene was repeated again and again.

In the days that followed, although my mother tried her best to cover it up, it seemed that she also understood that no matter how close to perfect a lie was, it would always be just an ignorant provocation of reality. Mother and son are connected, Yu Hui and I are also deeply infected by the changes in the family, and that sense of depression will make you forever remember in your heart. But all three of us seem to be willing to give up our doubts in the midst of ignorant provocations again and again, and then lies are more like a kind of ethereal hope for us.

When my mother and I got home, she looked at the ceiling, Yu Hui flipped through a picture album, and I leaned on the window to look out, each with a heart to complain. But the dark and silent sky refused to pray.

One morning, before the flowers had touched half a drop of dew, there was a buzz from their mother's bedroom.

"Hey, hello. Who?"

"Yue'er, Chunsheng. "My father's voice was a little hoarse.

The mother hesitated and tightened her grip on the phone.

"Yue'er, first of all, don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that something stumbled, and I arrived home on Thursday morning. I'll explain it to you when I get back. Listen, the day after tomorrow the hotel will hold a meeting related to corporate restructuring, and the share share will be reconfigured, although I have resigned, but we still have the right to distribute. Contact Er Liang and Chen Wei again, let them accompany them, and attend on time, there should be a chance. ”

"Erliang, he seems to have been estranged from us since the last incident. ”

"I know your doubts, I must have my reasons, call his cell phone and he will answer. ”

"Oh, but Chenwei ......"

"Hehe, don't ask so much, now you can only take one step at a time. ”

"Okay, got it. These people in the hotel really chill me, and such an important meeting is not announced in advance. ”

"Hey, it just means that there's something in here," my father coughed a little.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'm not used to the climate here, it's a little cold, how are you? Yu Hui's illness hasn't happened again, right?"

After the crystal in her mother's eyes turned, she fell down, "The children are fine, and I have been hiding this from them." But you know, these two kids, especially Yu Hui, are too smart. They stopped asking me, for fear they must have guessed something. ”

"Hey, I'm sorry for you. Have you found a buyer for the house?"

"There was a Miss Chen who came to see the house, and the price was lower, but she could pay in cash. ”

"If you can get to five, make a deal with her. ”

"Okay, without further ado, you take care of your own safety. ”

"You too! Tomorrow's allotment, you have to pay more attention to Tian Routing's actions of those old shareholders. If not, don't bother with them, I'll talk about it later. ”

The sunlight outside the window spun into the cracks of people coming and going, no colder than the heat of early spring. At this moment, there is a different kind of warmth hidden in the silk. Mother was cleaning in the living room, preparing for his father's return. When Yu Hui walked downstairs, she suddenly stopped, and the words were just muttering in her mouth. Yu Hui didn't dare to pursue it, because these days, his mother's mood has been panicking, just because of his father, he knows this. After a while, my mother seemed to have been hit on the head by something, and she came back to her senses at once. immediately talked to Er Liang and Chen Wei on the phone, and then fell on the sofa again. The couch also seemed to have lost its former good temper, and no matter how much the mother changed her position, it was uncomfortable. Only when the warm sunlight touched her did she feel the mood to continue breathing.

On this day, Li Tianhao was shopping for a gift for Ge Yao's birthday at TUTU. happened to meet Shang Wenhao, and Shang Wenhao said that he was entrusted by Yining to buy gifts for Ge Yao.

Tianhao wanted to ask what gift to buy, but he couldn't speak, and his heart was like a little mouse running back and forth. I thought to myself, the gift that Yi Ning bought must be of high grade. I originally wanted to buy a commemorative gift that was neither luxurious nor characteristic, but I couldn't make up my mind after choosing it for half a day. So, he frowned and thought about it, silently, and didn't ask what he bought with Shang Wenhao.

Shang Wenhao came to the Yuqian International Cosmetics counter, and directly asked for a set of the most popular beauty suits in the world that year, regardless of the price, it didn't take two or three minutes, pay the money and pack and turn around. The speed of the transaction is so fast that even the waiter is amazed.

Tianhao was dumbfounded, and followed behind Shang Wenhao to think about what gifts Yu Hui and Yu Fan would buy? pondering what gifts Zhenzhen and Zhang Shi could give? There were also Dai Junchen and Su Mei, if their gifts were better than their own, they could be appreciated by Ge Yao, if their gifts did not satisfy Ge Yao, what should they do? Wouldn't it be embarrassing...... Thinking about it, he followed Shang Wenhao out of the TUTU turnstile and forgot to buy gifts.

Tianhao was suspicious, worried, and thought more. In fact, no one else has the idea of competing for the lead, it's just an ordinary birthday party.

The next day, at the end of Purple Mountain Road, there was a famous café, which was also the place where the parents had their first date. It may be early, and there are hardly any customers here. She was dressed neatly, at least much more energetically than she had been at home, and sat quietly in a window seat and ordered the cheapest ordinary coffee there.

The hot breath exhaled from the coffee cup fully showed its bewitching in the air, and a middle-aged man with a smile on his face quietly stood in front of her. It was a pair of big eyes, very big eyes, that seemed to make a chirp and make this thin face look slightly crowded. Fortunately, the nose was more generous, giving them a lot of place, but he didn't pay attention to the big lips that were close together. Don't look at the coughing face, but with a tall figure and a rugged posture, this makes how many snickers stop here.

"Sister-in-law, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Erliang!"

This is the "Erliang" mentioned by my father on the phone. His name is Su Weiliang, and he has an older sister and three younger brothers in the family, so familiar people call him "Erliang" according to the ranking. He and my father grew up as iron buddies, and later both went to the same university. At that time, my father studied architecture, my mother studied economics, and "Erliang" studied law.

That year, at a city-wide talent exchange conference, they were all recruited to catering companies again. Two years later, my father was transferred from the position of director of the company's office to the general manager of the hotel, and every time my father went on a business trip or negotiated, he had to be accompanied by Su Weiliang, a full-time legal officer. However, some people still questioned the business ability of "Erliang", although his father supported it, but several heavyweight directors were picky among them. A letter of resignation was placed on the chairman's desk in the early morning when no one cared about it. It was from that time on, I don't know what the reason is, and he has become estranged from my house.

"Erliang, we haven't seen each other for almost three years, right? Your father passed away last year, and I haven't seen you, what can be done like this?"

"Sister-in-law, it's Erliang who is ignorant, so you are worried. Erliang's eyes were empty, like a big cleanup after being tired, "By the way, I have a bag of things, you can see it when I leave." ”

Mother took Er Liang and handed over a file bag: "You tell me the truth, did you already know about the reorganization of the hotel and other commercial companies this time?"

"Sister-in-law, I can't tell you, don't embarrass me. His brows were tightly knit, his facial features were about to squeeze together, his expression was painful as if he had been hit in the chest, and his empty eyes were staring at the door.

"No, you have to make it clear to your sister-in-law. ”

"Alas, sister-in-law, the thing is here, you will understand it after you see it!"

"Hey, Erliang!"

Without waiting for his mother to come to his senses, he left in such a hurry. This reunion was short-lived, and the file bag was even more suspicious. What could it be here? Is it related to this corporate restructuring? Or is it a reason for his sudden disappearance? The mother came home, locked herself in her room, and carefully opened it, and inside was a letter and a videotape. Immediately afterwards, the mother spread the neatly stacked letter paper on the table, which made people suddenly open up and at the same time hide the sourness of Yongsai.

Brother Chunsheng and Sister Yue'er:

I know I'm not qualified to call you that anymore. Ever since I met Tian Rou that time on Silver Beach, since she made me lose the lawsuit on purpose, since ...... I can't turn back, at least I can't control my feelings.

You know me, and I love my job. Once upon a time, the company was everything to me. We used to imagine the future together, but now, when those thin documents are about to go down the drain, I don't have a tear.

Remember the brazilian keel in front of the hotel? taller than Yuhui now? Remember the tavern we used to go to? I always complained about its strange name: SOROSE...... I really miss everything in the past, but I gave it up for her sake.

Don't ask me why, love doesn't happen for a reason. I have lived in this world for forty-five years, and there is no woman who has treated me so well, and she is so beautiful that I understand for the first time what it means to be in love. You may call me a selfish person or a traitor, but yes, I don't justify my actions, because I did betray my work ethic, betrayed everyone around me, and even betrayed the sense of justice that I have always been proud of.

Until she told me everything, all her plans, and when I realized that I was just a pawn of hers, I was still counting on being able to take her away after this turmoil. I felt like I had been hit by her poisoned arrow, and I couldn't extricate myself.

Today, hopefully, my awakening came just in time, as the tape was the last conversation I had with her, and I was intentional enough to take her to court. And I will turn myself in, but fortunately I didn't get married, and my father passed away, so there is nothing to worry about.

And I wish you all the best and happiness to the whole family!

Su Weiliang

"I see, that's why he disappeared suddenly. This stupid Erliang was ...... , Tian Rou, it's really you. Although her mother saw hope, Erliang's letter really made her feel the horror of human nature, and the light in her room was turned off very late that day, so she was grateful for Erliang's affairs.

The next day, my mother got up early and packed everything up. Before eight o'clock, I set out on the trip. When she got out of the car and saw the international hotel in front of her, which they had been irrigated with blood and sweat for decades, she couldn't help but feel a different kind of concubine. Thinking that the purpose of coming here today was to ask for their former hard work, there was another wave of water in front of him.

Mother didn't pay any attention to the strange looks of anyone in the hotel, just paced her usual steady pace towards the conference room. She came early, and there was no one in the conference room, so she casually found a seat and did it. Touching this long black table, it seems to be back in the days when I fought side by side with my father. As soon as he was stunned, a figure crept behind his mother. This person is the second person mentioned by his father on the phone, Chen Wei. He is the cousin of the third aunt, and I call him uncle. Although we don't see each other much, I usually hear my parents talk about him. When he was about eighteen years old, he was sentenced to seven years for participating in a terrible brawl. Not long after he was released, he annoyed the third aunt to ask his father to find something to do, his father was an outsider, how could he excuse himself, so he got him an errand to look at the warehouse, and he was also dutiful, and soon he was promoted to the minister of security. Unfortunately, it was also the year before last that a small fire just burned the hotel's ** credentials for a year. The company wanted to report to the official, but it was his father who suppressed the matter and made him resign automatically. Unexpectedly, only two months later, he actually got the above appointment through Tian Rou's relationship and returned to the hotel, and also entered the board of directors.

"Hey, it's Chenwei, I'm scared to death, why don't you make a sound when you walk?"

"Hey, sister-in-law, have you always been nice?"

"Erliang came to me yesterday. ”

"Su Weiliang, he ......" Obviously, Chen Wei's expression was a little uneasy. This expression lasted less than two seconds, and he immediately regained his original smile. "Oh, he's been a long time since I've seen him. Didn't I just come out of the bathroom, I didn't know what I ate yesterday that wasn't clean, and now my appetite is still spinning. ”

Her mother has always been shrewd, and she has never rubbed half a grain of sand in her eyes. Chen Wei's unusual behavior of not matching the horse's mouth made her wary.

"Sister-in-law, what is this?" he asked, looking at the file bag in his mother's hand.

"It was left by Erliang, he said......" The mother deliberately lowered her voice, and Chen Wei on the other side seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, a pair of lantern-like round eyes stared at the file bag, and the two big ears made do with it. The mother was even more convinced of her judgment, so she also sank down, "Erliang said what kind of evidence, haha." I don't know what's wrong with him, but he actually said something weird. ”

"Oh, oh......"

When Chen Wei's pupils were scattered, the door was pushed open, and with the smell of leather that went straight to his nose, more than a dozen men and women dressed in serious clothes entered the house one after another and took their seats. After the politeness, the meeting officially began.

Tian Rou was named by the chairman to convey the spirit of the above restructuring document. It turned out that several commercial companies in the district were reorganized into the largest commercial group companies in the city, enjoying 70 million interest-free loan policies and 10 million project support funds provided by the state. For this reason, there is only one topic today, that is, before the reorganization of hotels and other commercial enterprises, it is necessary to clarify the assets and asset evaluation, and redistribute the shares. Although the mother argued, it was difficult to convince the majority of shareholders who had been captured by Tian Rou that there was no better reason to refute the issue. The substance of Tian Rou's tricks exposed in Erliang's tape has not been confirmed, and as for how Erliang will sue the law next, it is also his own calculation. Therefore, the mother can't throw this matter out, lest Tian Rou and the others make corresponding countermeasures, but ruin Erliang's plan. Therefore, the mother can only write down the attitude of each sensible person one by one, and insist on exercising the veto power granted by the law on behalf of the father.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense and complicated, and the directors were still high-minded bureaucrats on the surface, but half of them were in a state of constant hesitation. Especially the chairman's wandering eyes, he has never dared to look at his mother. In the past, when there was a major decision, it was necessary to seek the father's opinion in advance, and most of the decisions depended on the father's attitude. But now, he is like a doll who has no autonomy and can only be at the mercy of others. His mother understands him, he is timid and afraid, cautious, wise and self-protective, and does not understand principles. For this reason, his mother looked down on him very much. At the moment when everyone voted, the mother deliberately held Erliang's file bag to her chest, stood up, despised the circle of people seated, and turned around and left the conference room. It is estimated that Chen Wei is warning everyone at this time, and the matter of voting will wait a little longer......

These days, there has been a lot of good and bad news, and Zhang Shi finally revealed a big secret. The decision to expel Li Tianhao and disband the ninth class of high school was the word of Principal Song, and it was Yining's cousin who was the secretary of the first leader in the Education Commission who stopped him. It is said that Principal Song is not only a student of Huo Ziqian's grandfather, but also a close friend of Huo Ziqian's mother of the opposite sex when he was in college. Therefore, what Huo Ziqian wants, he will do his best to wade into this troubled water.

In addition, President Song's successive absurd decisions caused an uproar within the Education Commission, and in addition, a dozen anonymous letters exposing his bribery were placed on the desk of the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

The bad news is that our family is still developing towards the worst outcome predicted in the hearts of our parents, despite my father's efforts, although my mother has some evidence, although Erliang is broken, although there are shareholders who are upset about my father, but the fact is that my father is defeated, and he has to pay a heavy price for the wrong use of people, and the first price is that we have to move.

Although all the truth is in front of everyone, the interests still make Tian Rou and the many directors of the hotel join forces, even if the father relies on some evidence, he is only innocent in the eyes of the police.

Tian Rou can't be sued, because someone is protecting her. It is said that she has an ambiguous relationship with the new district chief and has many secret secrets in private. She is like a horizontal trip in and out of the district, and even the leaders of various departments have to take the initiative to call Mr. Tian when they see her, because she has been appointed as the chairman and general manager of a commercial group with assets of 500 million yuan and integrating department stores, clothing, catering, agricultural trade and food.

And in the end, my family still has to sell the house to make up for the debt that my father owed when he was in power in the hotel, although I know that it is being calculated by others, but I still have to swallow my anger after all.

The most pitiful thing is Erliang, who parted with his mother that day, and went to the procuratorate to accuse Tian Rou of adultery with the people above, but he thought too simply, too simple, too naïve, and finally was prosecuted for false accusations, if the crime is established, he will live in an iron cage for fifteen years of cold and summer.

His father had always felt a little ashamed of Erliang's affairs, and later he mentioned that he had not been able to visit him in the detention center, because he had an inexplicable guilt. He didn't know if it was the fear of the corner abandoned by the sun, or the lack of self-strength. I understand my father and the background at that time, but in everyone's hearts at that time, what was more concerned or interested in paying attention was Tian Rou, a scheming woman, who everyone just regarded as a trademark of power, and never forgot to be bigger. In this regard, I hope that it is just like a cloud of smoke, like a barnyard in the wind, sprinkled in the past and not looking back.

And so, on such a Sunday morning, our family began to pack up our things and leave the house that had given me and Yuhui seventeen years of incense.

"Yu Hui, do you want this airplane model, if you want it, you have to find a box and put it up, as soon as there are too many things in the car, it will be crushed. And Yu Fan, do you still want these little notes? There are still words here...... "Mother called downstairs in a loud voice to us who were helping my father move the bookcase.

"Yes, I'm still useful, it's a special souvenir," Yu Hui shouted upstairs.

"Mom, don't look at the note!" I put down my work and ran upstairs as fast as I could.

Nostalgia is emptied, looking at the empty room, so that thousands of charms and illusions are like partridge painting screens, cold and indifferent. And the only thing that can touch my heartbeat is the big window, which connects me with the mood of my youth. Even before leaving, I didn't forget to stick my head out to look at the red stone brick wall and the sky full of memories.

I'm leaving, I'm reluctant to give up, nowadays, the sky is already hazy, we don't wear raincoats, and from then on, the feeling of being poured is no longer just Yuhui's patent. After its washing, all regrets flew into the air with the mud splashed by the wheels, and there was not half a tear outside the fancy gesture. This big truck is also very strange, even if it encounters potholes, it has no intention of deliberately detouring, so it bumps all the way.

The car stopped on the side of the road, and Dad got out of the passenger seat, went to his new home alone, and gently pushed open a burgundy lacquered wooden door.

"Yu Hui Yufan, come and see, it's not bad here!" his father sang in his old voice, but like a child. There was no bitterness in my smile, but Yu Hui was not as free and easy as before, as if every step after stepping through the door seemed to be as difficult as a shackle.

......

Zhang Shi's blockbuster ** one after another, on this day, he once again mysteriously transmitted a big news to the class, that is, our homeroom teacher, Teacher Qiu, is the aunt of Cheng Ying, a classmate who transferred away in the first half of high school.

It turned out that Cheng Ying's family education was very strict, and her parents implemented a private school-style education for her since she was a child, and she was able to recite the "Three Character Classic", "Daughter's Classic" and "Tao Te Ching" before the age of six, and read through the "Four Books and Five Classics" and "Historical Records" and "Zuo Biography" before graduating from primary school. Since junior high school, she has been strictly forbidden to contact boys, and when arranging the seats, Teacher Qiu also followed her sister's instructions and let Cheng Ying be independent by the wall. caused her to retreat from boys who took the initiative to flatter and be courteous, and even ruthless. Therefore, in the eyes of her classmates, she is a withdrawn character who is silent and difficult to contact, although she has innocent and lively cells in her bones.

Her parents not only wanted to make her a lady, but also wanted her to become a knowledgeable international strong woman in the future, so they planned her life development trajectory early. The family did not hesitate to give up a comfortable and comfortable life, and spared a lot of money, and the couple left their jobs without pay to accompany their daughter to school in Australia. Even if she doesn't want to go abroad, she can't help her parents after all.

I linked the scenes of several active contacts with Cheng Ying, and I couldn't help laughing at myself for my stupid intelligence. However, my sixth feeling was always that she was not disgusted with me, and that she was a little concerned...... Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to make up the very good girl in my heart when I replied to Ge Yao.

My gut instinct gave me a receipt. On this day, Teacher Qiu asked me to go to her office after class, and I muttered to myself: I haven't been late for class or leave early, I haven't failed classroom discipline, I haven't completed my homework, I haven't failed a small test, I haven't failed a quiz, what does it mean to suddenly find me? No matter how cranky you think, you have to go to the office head-on. To my surprise, when Mr. Qiu saw me coming, he calmly took out a letter from the drawer and handed it to me, and whispered to me that I would see it when I went home, and not to tell other students. I nodded in agreement, and took the letter, which from the envelope it was from Australia, marked "Fang Yufan personally opened".

I didn't know whether I was excited or confused all the way, and the first thing I did when I got home was to open the envelope, and to my surprise, the signature at the end of the letter turned out to be Cheng Ying. The letter didn't mention the current situation for half a word, just some trivial matters in the first half of the year of high school, and this kind of communication really made me scratch my head. I pressed it under a thick dictionary, and wrote her a reply with the idea that I could continue to correspond, how do I know, this letter was sent, and there was no news of it, like a hundred and ten pounds of big stone thrown into a bottomless old well, strangely, I also gradually ended my expectations for her in waiting.

Since then, the meteor with its white tail has never been encountered again, no matter what kind of window it is in.

Since that time when Yi Ning took the initiative to talk to Yu Hui on the phone about art, they rarely saw each other. So much so that we moved to a new house, we didn't have the interest and heart to invite everyone to play, and the reason is self-evident.

After the final exam of the second year of high school, Yu Hui will enter the third year of high school with the first comprehensive score. On this day, Teacher Qiu asked him to go to the office to get the summer vacation homework outline and send it to everyone, Yu Hui came to Teacher Qiu's desk leaning against the window, and inadvertently glanced at the window of the classroom in the opposite building, vaguely like Yi Ning and Huo Ziqian standing in front of the window. Immediately, Yu Hui's heart was like a knife, stunned. Ask yourself: Did you think too much about it before? Did you think Yi Ning was too perfect? Is it like someone privately rumored that she and Huo Ziqian have a special relationship? Then why does Huo Ziqian have to chase Ge Yao endlessly? Why did Yi Ning test herself on the phone with the topic of talking about art? What did the kiss goodbye that day mean? Yu Hui didn't dare to face the opposite window anymore, he took the outline and left the office quickly.

After the school bell rang, Yu Hui didn't wait for me, pushed his bicycle out of the school gate alone, wandering endlessly, as if he had lost his way, walking in the street with heavy steps and no direction.

"Hey," if Dai Junchen hadn't called him, he wouldn't have known that he had come to the earthquake memorial square.

"Uh," Yu Hui was stunned and asked, "Are you looking for Yu Fan?" ”

Dai Junchen thought it was funny: "Good guy, Yu Fan is still looking for you, no, the two of us just broke up, and I'm going home." "I thought about what happened to Yu Hui today, and I couldn't talk about it.

"Then you go slowly, I won't send it. Yu Hui was in a trance and didn't know what he was talking about. Dai Junchen felt even more funny, so he said to him: "Then you can send it to me," and left Yu Hui with a smile as he said it.

Yu Hui stood still and looked at the towering three-sided herringbone earthquake-resistant tower, and listened to his parents tell him that it was built to commemorate the Tangshan earthquake that shocked the world in the 70s of the last century. Anyone who has experienced that catastrophic life-and-death moment can reminisce and tell many stories.

Yu Hui's emotional investment in Yining is something that no girl has ever had, and it is also the impulsive feeling that he is attracted to a girl for the first time, perhaps a hazy maturity. He looked up at the sky, which was covered with fluffy gray-yellow cloudy clouds, thick, low, relaxed, fragmentary, and flowing in the air, sometimes swinging, as if smiling, and as if slightly drunk.

In his eyes, the sky was pregnant with the thick clouds of the rainstorm, the floating clouds were changing like a dog, and the clouds were as sad as a gloomy man. The large cloud was like an old tattered cotton wool hanging in the gradually gray sky, and the cracks of the floating clouds, like a curtain that had been opened, grew larger and larger. For a moment, the vast sea of clouds seemed to be static and solidified, like an eternal wasteland, making people feel terrifying, like a group of elves who specialize in destruction. Suddenly, it was so fast and so fast that it made people dizzy at the sight, and the clouds were like crazy lions, and the atmosphere was shrouded in inky clouds, and the jagged lightning violently cut through the clouds, and shone with a blinding light in the gloomy darkness. For a moment, the black clouds in the sky ran in the air like a demon, and in an instant, it was like a huge turtle, crawling forward slowly. The clouds before the rain were thick and heavy, there was not a hint of wind, the air condensed, and the whole sky seemed to be about to fall.

Yu Hui couldn't sleep all night.

Many things happened on Ge Yao's birthday, first of all, I confronted Yi Ning for Yu Hui, "What do you mean to Yu Hui?" I didn't hide the tiredness of the two of them in the previous stage.

"It's good, we've always been good friends," Yi Ning apologized vaguely: "Didn't I do something wrong and let you misunderstand?" ”

Her mind was so calm that it left me at a loss and overwhelmed. I glanced at Yu Hui, who was sitting in a corner reading a book, and thought, why are you so big-hearted, and you don't take the initiative to come over and talk to Yining. Yi Ning saw through my careful thoughts, so he generously walked up to Yu Hui and asked casually, "What kind of book are you reading, so concentrated?"

"Ah," Yu Hui raised his head to greet her, "there's a Bible on the table, flipping through it." ”

I couldn't bear to see them pretending to be like a pair of lovelorns who had met by chance, and they didn't have anything to say to be embarrassed, so I looked away.

The second thing, I found that the relationship between Zhenzhen and Zhang Shi is getting closer and closer, and they are becoming less and less betrayal, and the two of them are pushing me on the sofa, talking and laughing, without any scruples, even the names signed on the birthday gift box for Ge Yao are also two people.

The third thing may be that I am overly careful, but some details can never escape my eyes, and I am not a fool without thoughts. Tianhao with a look full of envy for Yining, actually interrupted the chat between Yining and Yu Hui, although it happened to adjust the atmosphere of some grinding and chirping, but it was a bit unrighteous for him to appear in the middle of the people. In addition, it is also manifested in his attitude towards Shang Wenhao, that is called a fart, the more I look at it, the more awkward it becomes, Li Tianhao, Li Tianhao, how can you put Ge Yao aside and go to wagging your tail behind others and beg for mercy?

I was angry, deliberately looking for Ge Yao to chat, taking out my housekeeping skills, telling her jokes, making her cover her mouth and laugh non-stop, my intention was very obvious, that is, to attract the attention of the whole house, misunderstand that the two of us were flirting, and show Tianhao!

On this day, I suddenly felt that everything had to have a beginning and an end. Even if the result is not good, it must be that the beginning is not solid. That's how you do math, it's like that when you're facing a canvas, it's like that, and it's like that, when you're dealing with feelings.

After that, everyone went step by step, and everyone was fine, and I won't go into details.

Time flies, there is still about half a year to go, and the college entrance examination is coming. According to my wishes, I want to apply for a more partial category, such as jewelry appraisal or something, which is a good way out. In fact, because the gap between me and Yu Hui is too big, he can't be admitted to a key university, and I have to risk my life to fill in this impossible wish, right? But it also happened that due to the more and more frequent contact between the painter Fan Shihui and my family, Yuhui's professional orientation for the future has undergone earth-shattering changes. Now, I also ate the sweetness again, and decided to take the art academy together, so that the difficulty is much less. Because, you must know that in the art examination, even in a nationally renowned university such as the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the score line of mathematics, physics and chemistry is relatively low. The most troublesome thing in my life is to calculate and calculate, and in the end, it is not a decimal point or something inconspicuous that goes wrong, no matter how long you spend your work, the result is in vain, which is not at all in line with the socialist principle of distribution according to work. So, being relieved of this heart problem also made me determined to play with literature, geography, history, and politics. In terms of professionalism, with Mr. Fan walking around and giving advice, plus Yu Hui and I have not wasted our pen efforts, it can be regarded as nine out of ten. It should be said that it is worth celebrating, but the only thing that bothers our Fang family is that the deterioration of our family's situation has made it a huge problem for us to pay tuition fees. The Academy of Fine Arts charges tens of thousands of yuan per person per semester, which obviously does not include the usual necessary materials such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., as well as tuition and miscellaneous expenses such as food and accommodation. If it's just a child, I have to follow my brother out to join in the fun, it's difficult. opened his mouth to the old people on both sides, that is by no means the style of his parents, they would rather go to the street to practice stalls than let the elders take on the slightest thought. Therefore, the relatives at home are kind, and they regard our family as ten years east of the river and ten years west of the river;

In retrospect, I was very wealthy, so rich that I didn't even think about the restrictions on living expenses. But now it's different, since my father left the hotel, he hasn't found a decent job, and no one in the same industry is willing to hire him again, for fear of provoking right and wrong and causing dissatisfaction with the surname Tian. My mother has also been out of touch with society for many years, and her original experience may not be useful in the face of a series of new devices and new terms.

On this day, my parents had to go back to their hometown to visit their seriously ill relatives. In the evening, they still didn't come back, leaving Yu Hui and I in the house that was less than half of the original one.

This is an old house, and it is said that it was a villa for a famous military raid in the past to curry favor with a woman. Approximately square courtyard, the district is divided into three buildings. The Weiye courtyard in the past has now been abandoned with colorful baskets and bricks, and the slender Jinyu poplar has only ended up with a knotted rope punching. At the beginning of the year, in order to solve the housing problem of the eldest child getting married without a house and the difficult household of three generations, the street "Revolutionary Committee" at that time transformed the old villa in the Republic of China into residential housing, and the wooden frame structure of the building did not move, but the internal structure was divided into a number of residential units with wooden purlins and wooden planks, which was the only all-wooden house in this area at that time.

My family lives in a three-bedroom and one-small hall house on the third floor from the first floor to the top on the far left, one for my parents, and Yu Hui and I are still each in one room, divided on the left and right. Yu Hui's room next to the kitchen is the location of Zhengyang. I chose a room with a large window, but this time I regretted it, because in the middle of the night, if the wind blows, the branches and leaves of the poplar trees rustle in front of the broken window. The timid ones dare not come out and walk around, and the loose floor will also have a timbre that matches the sound of the wind due to long-term moisture, which makes people numb and itchy.

There are three families living on each floor, and the toilet is also shared by three families, and it happens that the toilet on the first floor is blocked these days, and a total of nine families on the second to fourth floors upstairs are naturally unusable. Grandma Wang, the manager of the building next door, pointed out a clear path for us who had just moved in - out of the courtyard, there was a public toilet on the left hand side of the road, a hundred meters away.

Seeing that at ten o'clock in the evening, I suddenly had a pain in my stomach again, which was caused by eating the sour grapes sent by my grandmother who lived downstairs at night. Yu Hui's room is lit up, so he should be studying hard again. And this is not the first time I dragged him to the public toilet today, and I was really embarrassed to trouble him again, so I bumped into the courage and stepped out of the door like a martyr.

The moonlight in October is still good, reflecting on the edge of each house, and it does have the wonderful meaning of "Guihua Liuwa". If you can really calm your mind and turn around with your mood so that it spreads generously all over your body, you will suddenly find that all your troubles are beautiful mischief. It's very reminiscent of Mozart's Requiem, which makes your heart have to be open and your eyes have to be bright. And that beautiful melody, things are done refreshingly, with the wish that they will never come again.

I lifted my pants and walked away, and when I leaned out of the white brick wall of the toilet, I unexpectedly saw a person, no, it should be two people, standing at the end of the street, one of them, I am all too familiar, she is carrying a big bag in her hand.

"......", I almost shouted, and the voice came to my lips, but I swallowed it back, just because of the presence of another person. At first, he thought it was Shang Wenhao with his thin body, but when he looked at it again, the person was clearly a woman.

She had a cigarette burning in her hand and was facing Yining, about two or three steps away, not knowing what she was saying. After pausing for less than a minute, Yi Ning nodded, moving very slowly, as if he was a little skeptical or reluctant. Immediately, the man took the cigarette in his mouth for a while, exhaled a whim, and was scattered by the early autumn wind, and although he stretched his posture gracefully, it was soon scattered in this silent autumn night, and was reflected by the moon in a particularly fantastic way.

I walked closer and wanted to see her face clearly—in fact, I could already guess it—with the unforgettable gesture of those years, it was Tian Rou? I naturally felt ridiculous about my guess, after all, Yi Ning and Tian Rou were two people who couldn't touch the edge at all, and their acquaintance would shock and surprise anyone who knew about it. However, I'd rather guess that something went wrong and told myself that it was simply impossible. As I got closer, their conversation could be faintly heard, but at this moment, the man who looked like Tian Rou got into a taxi, and the sound of an engine disappeared on the avenue.

I turned around and walked slowly in the opposite direction of home, I didn't want to ask Yi Ning to understand, although I was confused, but if I really got it, what would be the consequences? So, I continued to move small steps, walked around the building several times, and then, adjusted my mood, and swam in the direction of home.

"Lad......".

I was really frightened by this sudden, muffled voice, and the white sweat suddenly jumped all over my body. And I've always believed that this fright will have a sequelae. I had long forgotten what happened to Yining just now, and I took two steps forward before I had the courage to look back. By the light of the street lamp, he only had a rough look at his eyebrows.

This is an old man, dressed in a black and blue cotton gown. Looking at the body plate, it should be over the sixtieth birthday, the back is hunched, the legs are bent into an arched shape, and there are severe rheumatic symptoms. But that face, if it weren't for the old lines of the grinding of the years, it would really reveal that he was a handsome guy when he was young. The eyes of a pair of knights were deeply sunken under the arrow eyebrows, the sagging bags under the eyes made the bridge of the nose very firm and straight, the lips loomed on the white goatee, and the silver-white appearance in the moonlight will be unforgettable for me. After this brief intuitive understanding, I no longer dared to look at his face, for fear that something bizarre would happen on such a silent night, "Is there something wrong with you?" I dared to ask him what help he needed.

"Young man, you just moved in, didn't you?" he asked me.

"Oh, yes, I live ......", I didn't dare to say any further, such an atmosphere even in the face of such an unarmed old man, I can't lose my vigilance, "I live over there." "I pointed to a far, vague spot.

He didn't speak, just waved his hand at me, which I understood to mean "goodbye". I bowed to him, and God knows why I would do that. In this way, after this inexplicable brief meeting, I adjusted my mood again and hurried home.

As soon as I entered the door, I thought it was my parents coming back, because there were a few bags of things on the table in the small hall, and it was the smell of fruit, so I entered Yu Hui's room without knocking.

"Brother, I ......", my words stopped there, because Yu Hui's expression was obviously very bad, and even, the eye frame was damp. Since he was a child, he didn't know what frustration was, and he didn't cry. He stared at the lamp in a daze, apparently unaware of my arrival. I looked at him and didn't dare to say anything until he started talking to himself, which frightened me. "Hey, keep it, it's useless ......", he holds a plastic doll in the image of Dora Amon. Then he added: "It's definitely a joke, a big joke." This sentence is the most true, because this sentence is the loudest. I couldn't stay silent any longer, and went over to call him. He was startled by such a move, and when he looked up at me, his eyes were still red. I immediately understood that something had happened, and it should have been a very serious thing for him, and the time had just begun. "What's wrong? what's wrong?" I asked him.

He didn't answer me right away, but kept looking at me. But I read in his eyes a symbol that I was at a loss for, and I could see through his eyes, so tall. "It's nothing, Yining has just been here. He said, still staring at me.

"Oh, I saw something on the table and thought it was my parents back. That's what he said, but he kept thinking about the six words "Yining just came" in his heart. So, that is to say, when I was circling around the buildings, she came up. Moreover, he was guided by the person who resembled Tian Rou.

"Well, my mother called just now and said she would be back in a few days. My uncle and grandmother have passed away, and I have to be busy with white things. ”

"Have we seen it?"

"Nope. When I was a child, I probably forgot. He mumbled, and moved a little, trying to leave the chair, and trying to leave my questioning eyes.

At this point, I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to talk to me about anything that has nothing to do with Yi Ning at the moment. But I don't want to mention Yi Ning again, I don't know why, I always feel that there will be some earth-shattering news on her, and this shock will even reach the innocent Yu Hui.

He walked into the bathroom, and then there was a rushing sound of water. I rummaged around in the living room with something wrapped in brown paper on the table, grapefruit, mango, longan...... This is all Yu Hui's favorite food, I have long seen through Yi Ning's intentions, but Yu Hui doesn't mention it, and I don't want to ask more. I have not been interested in fruit since I was a child, and the smell of durian forced me to go back to my room immediately.

In a new place, although it is still my original single bed, and the sky outside the window is just as silly blue, I have been restless from the first night I came to my new home to sleep, and I hope it is just a purely psychological effect. Now, the clock hand on the wall points to 24 o'clock, and I'm still groping for the background of the scene I saw in Yining across the public toilet a few hours ago. Is the figure of the woman who talked to Yi Ning really Tian Rou? Yi Ning came to Yu Hui, what did she say, and did the topic have anything to do with that person? I pondered, and I wanted to call Yu Hui up to ask clearly, and I came out to pour water and drink it because my mouth was a little dry. When I arrived in the living room, I found that the light in Yu Hui's room was still on, I pushed the door in, and saw him lying on the desk writing, I thought for a while, and felt sleepy again, so I turned around and went back to the house.
