After entering the university, Bai Chong worked hard to learn professional knowledge and took advantage of his spare time to do some part-time work, and in most of his part-time jobs, Lu became his gold medal partner. Before you know it, two months have passed. Bai Chong spent his 18th birthday at school. As night fell, Bai Chong walked alone on the commercial street next to the school. There were all kinds of cakes in the cake shop, Bai Chong picked for a long time, and finally picked a small cake, when his father called.

"Bai Chong, happy birthday! I'm sorry that your dad wasn't with you for your birthday, how are you doing over there?"

"Very good Dad, how are you doing?"

"Now you don't do engineering, change to carpenter, everything is fine, are you short of money?"

"I'm not short of money, I'm working and studying now, plus I have a scholarship, it's enough for me to spend, you don't have to worry, Dad. ”

"Okay, that's good, take care of yourself outside, it's cold, wear more, and when you're done, Dad will come to see you!"

"Thank you, Dad. ”

"Let's put it this way, I'm still a little busy here, hang up. ”

In the dead of night, by the river, Bai Chong held a cake and took a small spoon to eat while making a wish. The water in the middle of the lake shimmered slightly, the breeze blew, and a few lonely street lamps lit up on the other side of the lake. Seeing the street lamp, Bai Chong remembered his experience of messing around with his dead friend on the high school campus, until he thought of Zuo Ying, who had hurriedly crossed his life, Bai Chong sighed softly and said, "Zuo Ying, are you okay?"

The moon in the sky faded behind the dark clouds, and it seemed that it would rain in a short time.

At the end of the year, Bai Chong joined the army of returning to his hometown, and after returning home after many hardships, his home seemed extremely deserted. Bai Chong went to the hospital first to accompany his aunt and grandmother, and his aunt said: "Your mother may not go home for the New Year, or you will come to my house for the New Year." ”

"No, I'm going to stay here with Grandma. ”

Grandma has always maintained the state of a living dead, but Bai Chong can feel the temperature of Grandma's palm, and a voice seems to be telling Bai Chong: "Silly child, go home for the New Year, what will it look like in the hospital." ”

Bai Chong stuck to his grandmother's side and whispered: "Grandma, you get better quickly, otherwise who will play with me?"

My aunt left helplessly, and someone outside had already started to set off fireworks.

Bai Chong came to the service desk and asked, "I want to ask about my grandmother's condition." ”

"Wards"

"Number 15. ”

"Xie Chunlan, is it?"

"Yes. ”

"This is Xie Chunlan's case, you can take a look. ”

Bai Chong took the case and looked at it carefully, and a thunderbolt slammed into his head.

"The esophageal cancer is advanced, and the family has confirmed that surgery will not be performed. ”

Bai Chong covered his mouth in fright and asked, "That, excuse me, my grandma, how long does she have?"

"It's hard to say, are you alright, young man?"

"I'm fine. ”

In the corridor of the hospital, Bai Chong called his mother.

"Mom, why don't you operate on grandma?"

"Bai Chong, you know everything?"

"Mom, why don't you save Grandma?"

"It's not that Mom didn't save it, but Mom almost ran out of money in order to find a lawyer for your dad at that time. ”

"That's ...... Didn't Dad sell the house at that time?"

"On the one hand, selling the house is to pay off the debt, and after paying off the debt, there is not much money left, and besides, grandma is so old that she can't stand the toss. ”

"You lie!" Bai Chong was so anxious that tears rolled in his eyes.

"Bai Chong, Bai Chong, you listen to your mother, and your mother doesn't want this, but we have to accept the reality...... I'm done busy in the past two days, so let's spend the New Year with grandma, okay?"

"Not good!" Bai Chong hung up the phone angrily.

Bai Chong ran to the service desk again and asked about his grandmother's surgery fee, and then made up his mind to save his grandmother.

After the start of the new semester, Bai Chong worked more in his spare time.

Not long after, the whole country was plunged into a "white" terror. The SARS epidemic greatly affected Bai Chong's part-time job, and he had a very poor time during that time, living by eating instant noodles while trying all kinds of ways to earn money. In just a few months, his body was as thin as a piece of paper.

During that time, it was hot and cold, Bai Chong accidentally caught a cold, and I don't know who reported it, but a few people in white uniforms took Bai Chong away and quarantined for observation. Bai Chong was uneasy and shouted "let me out", but no one paid attention.

Not long after, a call came from home, saying that grandma was dying. Bai Chong begged outside: "Let me go out, my grandma is dying, please you." ”

The medical staff still just shook their heads.

"Hurry up and check for me, I must not have the flu, please, please!" The medical staff shook his head, and at this time, another doctor ran over from a distance and said to Bai Chong: "You can go out, but before you go, please go over there and get an anti-epidemic shot." ”

"Thank you! Thank you very much!" Bai Chong hurriedly went to the side to get an anti-epidemic shot, and then took a taxi and hurried to the airport.

After arriving home, the family has already begun to handle the funeral for grandma.

Grandma's death had a great impact on Bai Chong, and on the small tulou in his hometown, Bai Chong sat listlessly, and his mother also sat down slowly next to Bai Chong.

"Bai Chong, do you hate your mother?"

Bai Chong shook his head, and saw a black sedan slowly stop in the distance, and a middle-aged man in a gray suit got out of the car.

"Who is he?" Bai Chong wondered.

Qin Yu put his arm around Bai Chong's shoulders and said with a smile, "I wanted you to meet earlier." ”

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man picked up a little girl in her teens from the car. Seeing this, Bai Chong slid down his cheeks with two tears, and his mother wiped away the tears for him and gently stroked his head.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed. In the summer vacation of his junior year, Bai Chong returned to his hometown and found that there was no one in the village at all. Although his mother repeatedly called him to visit his new home, he always believed that he had no home. After thinking about it again, Bai Chong still went to his father's dormitory for two days. My father has never remarried, and when it comes to why they divorced back then, my father is always hesitant.

"Dad, I'm an adult, and you can tell me some things that were inconvenient to say back then. ”

Hearing this, Sheng Xingguo had no choice but to spit out.

"Alas, when I was doing engineering, I asked to accompany the customer to dinner, and one day a female customer drank too much, and the boss asked me to send someone back...... This may have been seen by someone and reached your mother's ears, and then they divorced me. ”

"Then you haven't thought about remarrying my mother?"

"Ahem, that female customer is the investor of the project later, and the construction team made a name for the forced demolition. My unclear relationship with my female client seems to have been completely cemented in your mother's heart, and I can't tell it even if I have a thousand mouths. ”

"I see. Bai Chong seemed to have an understanding and said: "Then you and that female customer...... Will we see each other again?"

"No, no!" Sheng Xingguo said righteously: "Heaven and earth conscience, I can swear poisonously, I have never been sorry for your mother." ”

"My mom she'......"

"What's wrong with your mom?"

She found another one. ”

"Oh, is it?" Sheng Xingguo picked up his wine glass, and there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

Bai Chong took a rickety bus to the campus of Fang Lin No. 1 Middle School, and he wanted to take another look at this place that hid his precious memories for three years before leaving. The school seems to have lost its former glory, and the stone steps of the school playground are also mottled with moss. The campus was empty, with the occasional student walking by, and next to the school building was a small river, and gardenias were in full bloom by the river. He remembered the girl he had almost kissed by the river three years ago, as if she had appeared in that same corner.

Left ......

As soon as the words fell, a girl appeared behind Bai Chong.

"Senior?"

Bai Chong turned his head and saw a pure and beautiful girl standing in front of him.

"You...... Are you?"

"I'm Zheng Ai, don't you remember me?" the girl said softly: "Three years ago, on the basketball court, the girl who smashed you with a basketball. ”

"Oh, it's you!" Being able to meet an old acquaintance here and now is an extra reward in life for Bai Chong.

"By the way, have you read the letter to you?"

"I ......," Bai Chong said hesitantly, "I seem to be ...... I haven't had time to look at it yet. ”

Zheng Ai's face was full of disappointment.

"But I've kept it. ”

The two chatted as they walked.

"Hey, why are you still keeping it, by the way, senior, have you made friends all these years?"

Bai Chong shook his head, and Zheng Ai lowered his head and snickered in joy. On a hot summer day, the two of them walked to the end of the boulevard, and Zheng Ai proposed to sit on the grass for a while.

"You've changed a lot over the years. Bai Chong said with a smile.

"Really?

"It's hard to say, you were an ignorant little girl back then, but now you have grown and are very beautiful. ”

"Then you mean I wasn't pretty. ”

"No, no, when ...... I didn't have ...... back then. Didn't you pay attention to it? Bai Chong suddenly became a little stuttering.

"What's wrong with you, so nervous. ”

"Oh, no...... It's nothing. ”

Zheng Ai suddenly turned his head and said seriously to Bai Chong: "It's been three years, and I still like you!"

Bai Chong was stunned for a moment, and asked with a trembling voice, "You...... You can't be serious, can you?"

"It's serious, Sheng Baichong, I'm such a stubborn girl, I can say whatever I like, I know you may not have noticed me at all in the past few years, but I think about you all the time, wherever you go, I will go. Although I didn't do as well as you in the college entrance examination, I studied in the school next to you, and I often looked at you secretly, but I was afraid of disturbing you, because I found that I couldn't forget you at all. ”

"I ......," Bai Chong said intermittently, "you...... You're a bit sudden, make me ......"

Bai Chong looked at Zheng Ai's serious eyes, and his formation was all disrupted at once.

"You made me think about it. Bai Chong stood up and fled.

"Bai Chong!" Zheng Ai shouted behind Bai Chong, he stopped, and then Zheng Ai said softly: "I'll wait for you!"
