Chapter 9: Apricot Yellow (4) (1)

Apricot has been out of school for a year.

For a year, he still has no idea about his future. Although Bangwa often comes home and seizes every opportunity, he bragged to him and Dong Solstice about what he saw and heard when he and his father Maolin were running business outside, which also made him enthusiastic from time to time.

Bangwa always puts on a look of old rivers and lakes, and still shares cigarettes when they meet, and it is still a brand like "Blue Golden Deer". Xingzi still took a sip, and quickly spit out all the choking smoke, and was still choked by the smoke from time to time. Unlike in the past, the stick baby sucked it decently. seems to have become addicted, and often spit out a few smoke rings for the two of them to see, which surprised Apricot and Winter Solstice. Although the stick baby blew through the cowhide, it did not fulfill its promise to take the winter solstice out for a long time. Even so, it did not affect his prominent position in the minds of the winter solstice.

As soon as he saw the stick baby coming back, the winter solstice was like a shadow by his side, to the point of inseparability. Whenever the stick baby talks about what she has seen and heard outside the mountain, the winter solstice will also talk about her lofty ideals, that is, to go to the army to be a soldier, wear a military uniform, carry a steel gun and eat military food. He also said with great confidence that his father had already sent a letter to Brother Autumn Equinox, and as soon as he was old enough, Autumn Equinox would come directly to pick him up and go to the army, and he would work under him, so that he could have someone to take care of or something. At this time, the stick baby will restrain her smug demeanor and be anxious to inquire about the way to become a soldier. The winter solstice will be silent, and Wang Gu will talk about him left and right.

Although Xingzi envies the outside world of Bangwa and envies the winter solstice with an elder brother who is a volunteer, it is only envy. He was anxious about his current situation, but he was helpless. Last year, Zhong'er and Maoqing's Ziyan, Sixi's Zhu'er, and Sifang's Wenwen were all admitted to the county's high school, but only Bin Bin was not admitted. However, Bin Bin reviewed at the town middle school again, preparing to continue to take the high school entrance examination this year. Xylophone also wanted to ask Xingzi to review for a year, and then take the high school exam this year. Xingzi didn't agree, and he didn't want to review it again. For this matter, Jing'er, Ye'er, Zhong'er and Maosheng all persuaded him, and even his own father Maoxiang rushed to persuade him, and he resolutely refused.

He is self-aware, and he has long weighed his own ability and weight. Based on his own academic performance, he said that he had been reviewing for a year, and even if he reviewed for another two years, he would not be admitted to high school. Therefore, he has no regrets about getting out of school. Every day, he followed behind Maosheng's ass, doing here and there. Maosheng also sincerely likes him in every way, loves him, cares about him and cares for him in every way. This gave him a small sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. It's just that seeing Zhong'er's hurried and proud look when he came home on Sunday, coupled with Maosheng's diligence in adjusting the meals at home with all his heart, made him feel very uncomfortable. There is both a heavy sense of loss and an inexplicable jealousy. Fortunately, he is still immature, but he can control this emotion in a timely manner and try not to let it flow between words and deeds. For a while, the family didn't notice it. However, the more you pretend to hold it back, the stronger the reaction force, the greater the psychological endurance, and the longer the impact will be.

It was during these restless days that Mao Xiang timely accelerated the pace of getting closer to Xingzai's feelings. [End of Chapter]
