Chapter 315: Separated by Mountains and Seas
After seeing Yu Xiaoban and Dou Yonghong leave, they were a lot more deserted for a while, and there was no one to talk to.
Su Xiaoxiao walked all the way from the entrance of the Construction Bank on Cross Street to the Xinhua Bookstore, her eyes could see through the heavy glass window, she could see a few clerks moving books to the second floor, she thought about it, raised her feet and walked in, because of the winter, the bookstore was even more deserted, and only a few people were reading.
Su Xiaoxiao walked slowly to the second floor, everywhere she could see were all kinds of learning aids, her fingers touched the bookcase, there was not much dust on all kinds of learning materials, and the test questions that had been brushed passed by her fingertips, which seemed familiar, but full of strange feelings.
When she came out, it was already snowing heavily, and a couple under the eaves of the bookstore was holding an umbrella and preparing to go out, and only one of the three remaining boys in the store had an umbrella.
They looked at each other and discussed the topic, some said that it would be better to read the book for a while, just to avoid the wind and snow, and some said that they would simply let someone go back first, and then come to pick us up.
Before they could finish their discussion, Su Xiaoxiao tightened the scarf around her neck, pushed open the glass door, and walked out in the wind and snow.
The boys suddenly fell silent, dumbfounded, and finally became nervous for some reason.
The boy with the umbrella in his hand looked at Su Xiaoxiao's back when he went out, and without waiting for the other two boys to speak, he grabbed the umbrella and turned his head to catch up. The two boys in the back didn't catch up, and at this moment, the three of them had the same idea.
"Hey!"
"Call me?" Su Xiaoxiao turned around and stood under the paulownia tree that had lost all its leaves.
"That. . . It's snowing so hard outside, you can use this umbrella. The boy regretted it after walking out of his legs, not regretting his impulsiveness, but worrying that the girl in front of him thought he was a casual conversation, and what made him a little nervous was that this girl was really good-looking, so that he could see that his brain was blank and at a loss.
Su Xiaoxiao was caught off guard by this sudden scene and stared at him blankly.
The boy dodged Su Xiaoxiao's gaze, just as he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a gap to get into.
Su Xiaoxiao sneered and said, "Thank you, what's your name?"
"My name is Zhang Moran. The boy said nervously.
"Where do you live, I will return this umbrella to you. After Su Xiaoxiao took it, she opened the handle of the umbrella, and all the falling snow was blocked out.
Zhang Moran waved his hand, feeling that the girl should not think that she had any other purpose, and said generously, "It's okay, it's just an umbrella, you don't have to return it." ”
"Oh. Su Xiaoxiao nodded and pointed behind him, "Your friend is waiting for you." ”
Zhang Moran turned his head and saw the two people under the eaves of the bookstore squeezing their eyebrows at him, and with a little excitement, he turned his head again, "Then I'll go back first." ”
"Go, go, go. Su Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and said happily.
Zhang Moran returned to the two of them, still sighing that I had never seen such a girl, my heart was beating, I seemed to be in love, and I was dying.
The other two gave him a blank look, and one of them asked, "Did you ask her contact information?"
"Nope. He shook his head.
"Did you tell her where to return the umbrella?"
"No, there isn't. He continued to shake his head.
The other person didn't have a good breath, "You didn't grasp such a good opportunity." ”
Finally, the two of them looked at the snow that was falling heavier and heavier, and looked at each other and said, "Then how do we go back?"
…
Su Xiaoxiao thought it would snow for a long time, so she was stunned at the bus stop, and when she looked up, she saw that the snow had stopped.
The heavy snow turned the street scene white, and the green newsstand was also covered with a layer of snow, and pedestrians walking on the street with umbrellas saw that the snow had stopped, shook their umbrellas and put them away, and walked away quickly.
Su Xiaoxiao walked along the long street, stepping on the snow and making a "crunching" sound.
Passing by a long ramp, Su Xiaoxiao saw two familiar figures coming out of the bookstore.
…
Cheng Xi shook the handle of the umbrella and opened the umbrella, Fang Ning came in shortly, and said with a smile, "We are so lucky, the book we want to read just stopped snowing, and we can go home." After finishing speaking, he thought about it and added, "Are you going to my house today?"
Cheng Xi hesitated, but nodded and said, "Okay." ”
"That's good, my grandma sat down on a table of good dishes, just waiting for you, the future granddaughter-in-law, to come. Fang Ning said.
Cheng Xi glanced at him, didn't speak, and rightfully acquiesced to his statement.
As they grew older, the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper, almost to the point of being inseparable.
In the past, when Fang Ning and Cheng Xi walked together in junior high school, Fang's father and they could still think that the two of them were learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses in order to study, but slowly, everyone also saw the relationship between Fang Ning and Cheng Xi, and paper couldn't contain the fire.
Puppy love is taboo at any time, and is regarded as a flood beast by parents and teachers, fortunately, Fang's father and Fang's mother have always been enlightened people, and the conditions for learning are not affected by the two of them, and getting along properly is still beneficial to alleviate the pressure of learning, besides, a girl like Cheng Xi is difficult to find with a lantern, and Fang's father and Fang's mother's family are equivalent to acquiescing in her identity.
However, the enlightened family style does not mean unconditional ignorance, one night during the winter vacation, Fang's father brought two bottles of wine to chat with Fang Ning, and talked to his son about peanuts and beer.
In the end, he said that it was okay to fall in love, but that was without affecting his academic performance, Fang Ning naturally nodded yes.
There are many changes in this winter vacation, some of them are gradual, and some of them accumulate over time to change from quantitative to qualitative changes, and some of them come suddenly, caught off guard, without any preparation.
For example, the land demolished by the family has begun to be expropriated, and the shrimp pot shop that was previously operated has been shut down, and the Xia family father and son have also been anxious because of a series of problems, but no one cares about them, there are a lot of things that happen during the winter vacation, and it is difficult to finish for a few days and nights, but if you really talk about it, you don't know where to start.
This year is crucial, at the 12th National People's Congress, a leader surnamed Xi was elected to the top of the country, the country's anti-corruption efforts have been increased, tigers and flies are fought together, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rectified, and a series of policies to come to power, the new five-year plan, the Belt and Road, poverty alleviation work in poor areas, so that the whole country has a new look, and the new spring breeze blows all over the land of China, even in the cold winter, it also makes the people's hearts extremely hot.
There are many, many things that happened in this year, such as the successful launch of the Shenzhou 10 manned spacecraft, the docking with Tiangong-1, the completion of the spacecraft round-trip transportation system, marking the country's successful entry into the space station era, as well as the establishment of the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone, which has become the carrier for the country to further integrate into economic globalization, as well as the subsequent successful landing of Chang'e-3 on the moon, APEC diplomatic actions, etc., all show that China's dragon has gradually begun to soar in the blue sky from a sleeping state.
However, these big things that happened had nothing to do with Fang Ning, he never interfered with the normal development of history, just like a passerby, watching the changes of the country coldly, he was most concerned about the people around him, after all, those things were too far away from him, only the people around him were closely related to him.
Just as Fang Ning took out his mobile phone and wanted to report to his family, Cheng Xi poked his arm with his elbow and motioned him to look ahead, Fang Ning looked up and saw Su Xiaoxiao holding an umbrella, standing under the paulownia tree that had lost all its dead leaves.
That scene, suddenly many years later, many people looked at this girl through the sea of flowers, whether it was chaos or quiet years, she was still like a brightest star, always imprinted in the minds of others.
It will not be forgotten for a long time.
