Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, the whole family went to the second and third grandfather's houses to pay New Year's greetings.

Chen Zhiyi's family, who arrived first, the second grandmother died many years ago, and the second grandfather now lives with the second uncle. The third uncle, Chen Zhixiao's family, did not come back. The second aunt kept counting down the third uncle and the third aunt in front of them, saying that they were not filial, saying that the second grandfather was so old that he could live a year and a year, and he didn't know that he would come back to accompany his father, and that they were doing their filial piety all year round, and they didn't have only one son, so why should they rely on them.

Chen Zhili knew that Zhixiao had brought him money back, and Zijun gave him the money on the day he came back, which was a thousand yuan, and he was heavy in his hand. remembered that the third child was usually kind, so he helped: "The third child is not that kind of person, there must be some difficulty." ”

"What's the problem, what's the problem for them? They must want to have a good time outside. The second aunt hurriedly replied.

"Second grandfather, third uncle and third aunt told me, let me always say sorry to you, they can't help it. There is no way to live in the house at home, and there is no place to live when you come back, so it is better to save a few more money to repair the house! The third uncle said that the money to honor you has been sent to you, and you can take the time to go to the bank to withdraw it! Second grandfather, don't blame them. "Zijun knows about the money, it happened that she went to the third uncle's house that day, and Sister Zipei was about to go to the bank to make money.

Who Chen Zhixiao and Zhou Xiaohua are, Zijun knows very well. Zijun told the matter of money, but he didn't want the second aunt to continue to send the third uncle and the third aunt.

"That idea is a big deal, the old man follows us all year round, eats us, drinks us, lives on us, and spends more than just a little on him. The second aunt became louder.

Chen Zhili stopped talking after hearing this, the second family's and the third family's disagreement is not a matter of a day or two, the second uncle gave all his belongings to the second family, and at that time he also said that he would return to the second family's family when he was old, and now he mentions this. Although he is the eldest brother, he is not a pro in the end, and he is not a person inside and outside if he talks too much. Besides, it's not time to really reason, if it's really not too late to help the third child at that time, I will be bored there when I think of this.

"The second family, what are you arguing about here for the New Year, and you don't go to cook when there are guests at home!" The second grandfather sat there smoking dry tobacco with a calm face, the third family was not close to him, he didn't like it, but the second daughter-in-law said this about him, he was naturally even more unhappy in his heart. He is in good health, when has he been idle all year round, and the money he earns is more than enough to support himself, and when has he spent their money. Now he is so tough that he dares to say in front of him that he is old, eating them and drinking them, if he is really old in the future, he may not be angry with this daughter-in-law, and he can't help but be angry and bitter.

The second aunt was still unwilling, but she still cooked under the gaze of the second uncle. The character of the second aunt, when she is unhappy, she pulls her face, and everyone is unhappy. Chen Zhili's family quit after eating and went to the third grandfather's house.

Chen Zhikang also came back from out of town and pulled Chen Zhili to sit by the fire and talk. The fourth aunt Li Lin is from the city, and she comes back once or twice a year, and she comes here like a guest, and her cousin Chen Zikang is not familiar with her grandparents, let alone them.

Fortunately, the third grandmother's body is still quite tough, and she is busy with the meals of the whole family. Wang Lanfang didn't have anything to say to this younger brother and daughter-in-law who was younger than her, so she ran to the kitchen to help.

Chen Zhili and Chen Zhikang are rare to see now, their life circles are different, they are not brothers in the end, they don't know what to say after chatting for a long time, and they leave after eating.

When leaving, the fourth uncle took 500 yuan and had to give it to Chen Zhili, saying that he wanted him to accept it, saying that it was a brother, and he couldn't help anything if something big happened. Chen Zhili couldn't shirk it many times and had no choice but to accept it, remembering that he used to like it very much when the fourth brother was a child, and he took it out to play, but the age difference was relatively large, and later the fourth brother went to school, and he got married and had children, and slowly there were fewer contacts. Now that I think about it, there is also a friendship in it.

However, when I thought that the third brother and his family were working outside, they could bring him back a thousand yuan, and I was really moved. The third brother has been bullied by the second brother since he was a child, he has helped him a lot, he has been close to him since he was a child, no matter what, the friendship between the two younger brothers he remembers in his heart, and one day he will repay them, especially Zhixiao.

The third brother and sister of the second junior high school Zijun went to his grandmother's house, and Zijun's grandmother was dozens of miles away from home, and the family went by car. Several uncles lived not far from their grandmother's house, but unfortunately they all went to relatives, and several brothers and sisters were intimate with their grandparents for two days. Then I went to some relatives next to me for a turn, and when I got home on the fifth day of the new year, Zijun didn't want to go out anymore, and it was really a tiring job to go to relatives. Thinking of accompanying her parents at home, her train ticket is on the tenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, and she has to go to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

Zijun doesn't read books at home these days, and he doesn't want his family to know that he still wants to study, for fear that they will feel sad if they find out. Idle and idle, Zijun thought about putting away the previous things, and by the way, he also brushed the dust, flipped a few times at will, and the title page of a book read, "There is a road and a diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to the sea of learning." ”

Zijun stopped what he was doing when he saw it, this word was written by Zhou Can, and her words were not so good-looking. Zijun remembered the scene when he wrote this word that day, and his heart was in a trance. She has tried her best not to think about Xiao Ping's words these days, and tried to make herself seem to care nothing, but in fact, she still cares in her heart, right?

She opened a diary again, there was a line of pen words dancing in the wind, Zijun sat on the chair, holding the diary in one hand, and carefully rubbing the other hand, and the fingertips gently followed the handwriting. It was when the third year of junior high school was about to graduate, Longcheng No. 1 Middle School was transferred to the county and admitted gifted students, and only Zhou Can and her were eligible to participate in the class. And the two of them are also the most likely to be admitted.

At that time, the good feeling was already sprouting in the bottom of my heart. Because she was about to graduate, there were a lot of messages written among her classmates, and that day, she also mustered up the courage and wrote on Zhou Can's classmate record, "There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea, I believe you will be able to!"

Later, Zijun found that there was an extra line on the title page of his diary, which was the two sentences written by Zhou Can, in addition, he also wrote this line on her message book: "A better future depends on us to create, and there are you and me on the road to growth." "This is a confession, right?

At this moment, I saw it again, and some memories that I thought were long ago reappeared in my mind so suddenly and vividly. Now the splendid picture she once painted seems to be distant, but she has never forgotten!

Zijun suddenly stood up and walked out the door......
