Chapter Twenty-Nine: First Meeting
Jiang Chengxuan looked at Xia Yuxi, and suddenly thought of what the two of them looked like when they first met.
At that time, Jiang Chengxuan was only eight years old, and because of family reasons, he was sent to his grandmother's house who lived in a small county town. At the beginning, he was very uncomfortable with life in that small county, and it was like a cage for Jiang Chengxuan at that time.
He could have lived in a big villa in the city with his clothes and food, and he didn't have to think about whether he would be woken up by mosquitoes when he slept at night, and he didn't have to think about whether he would have diarrhea after eating the things in this small county.
Jiang Chengxuan, who was only eight years old at the time, did not get along well with the children in the small county town, and sometimes he was even bullied, after all, in the eyes of the children at that time, you were dressed differently from us, so we naturally had to isolate you, not to mention Jiang Chengxuan, who was originally silent.
It was the situation at that time that caused Jiang Chengxuan to stay at home most of the time, and sometimes he didn't even go to school, and his grandmother couldn't coax Jiang Chengxuan out of the room, because he was so angry, he didn't suffer less from his grandmother's feather duster.
Even if he is now about to be thirty years old, when he arrives at his grandmother's house, he feels a chill on his back when he looks at the feather duster placed on the cabinet. It is conceivable what kind of psychological shadow the feather duster that has been used for about 20 years has caused to Jiang Chengxuan in his childhood.
The first encounter with Xia Yuxi was in a winter with heavy snowfall, and they may not see a single snow in a few winters in this place, but the heavy snow that year, Jiang Chengxuan still remembers it vividly.
He was originally roasting the electric heater in the house, huddled on the bed with a warm baby in his arms, and the humid and cold climate made Jiang Chengxuan feel that the quilt was full of air. He was drinking a cup of hot water, and when he turned his head, he saw snowflakes scattered in the sky, but in a few minutes, he was covered by a white snowfall.
"Xiao Xuan! Xiao Xuan, don't hide in the house! It's snowing outside, come out and take a look! I haven't seen this snow for many years! Xiao Xuan, grandma will take you to build a snowman!"
Jiang Chengxuan listened to his grandmother's knock on the door, turned his head to look at the snowflakes outside, and directly lifted the quilt and jumped out of the window. He looked at the footprints left on the snow by his feet wearing only socks, and felt very fresh, but before he could walk a few steps, he saw a little girl in pajamas outside the yard of his house. She was holding a teddy bear that was two heads taller than herself, and she was sitting in the snow and talking to herself.
"What are you doing? Isn't it cold in the snow?"
Jiang Chengxuan looked at Xia Yuxi, who was wearing a double ponytail and was like a pink carving, and asked cautiously. He saw that the female doll did not respond to him, and was about to turn around and go home to put on his shoes, when he heard a milky voice behind him and said:
"Little brother, why haven't I seen you before?"
"I just moved in. ”
Xia Yuxi tilted her head, blinked her big eyes, pressed her whole body against the teddy bear on the side, and pouted.
"Before, the brother next door said that there was a strange person here, and he didn't even go to school on weekdays, and he was talking about you?"
"You little girl is all these things you heard?"
"Where did I hear that? It doesn't matter, these are naturally told to me, but you seem to be as different from what they say~ And I think little brother, you are so good, you shouldn't kick me out. ”
Xia Yuxi said that he got up and hugged his teddy bear directly, and walked over to the yard of Jiang Chengxuan's grandmother's house.
"It's snowing so hard, why are you out there by yourself?"
Jiang Chengxuan looked at Xia Yuxi who was only wearing a set of pajamas, and his little face, ears and even his neck were already a little red from the cold.
"I'm the little brother who ran out secretly, don't tell my parents, if my parents know that I ran out secretly, I'm afraid they won't live together. ”
As soon as Jiang Chengxuan heard this, she knew the meaning of this little girl's film, it seems that her parents should be getting a divorce, otherwise why wouldn't I have noticed that such a big child ran out of the house in such weather?
"Where's your house? ”
"I don't want to tell you where my house is! My mom and dad will fight when I go back! Now my dad doesn't even come home, and if I stay at home any longer, my dad will probably never come back. ”
Xia Yuxi said that this little mouth was full of grievances, and she was about to cry when she saw it. But before she could wait for her tears, tears fell from her eyes. Jiang Chengxuan's grandmother rushed out of the room.
Carrying a jet-black feather duster in his hand, he pumped it towards Jiang Jiang Chengxuan's ass.
"You little bunny! Little bastard! I'll let you come out without shoes? On such a big day, you jump out of the window and run out without leaving the door! Isn't it that I can't fit you little bastard? I'll let you run out without shoes, I'll let you run out without a coat! I'll kill you little bastard!"
Jiang Chengxuan stiffly received a few feather dusters and then raised his feet and ran to the side. While running, he pulled up Xia Yuxi.
"You still run away you little bunny, come back to me quickly. Do you believe it, I'm going to call your dad and ask him to come and beat you. ”
"Fools don't run! I won't stand there and beat you! You're so good, you should call my dad, will my dad pick me up when I see it!"
Jiang Chengxuan dragged Xia Yuxi against the snowflakes in the sky and ran out along a stone road in the courtyard. The two of them ran to the other side of town. His body was already soaked with melted snow.
Xia Yuxi sat on the stone steps at the entrance of the village, panting heavily. Because her body has not been very good, strenuous exercise like today's is very likely to cause serious injuries to her.
"Your grandmother is going to beat you alone...... WhewW...... What are you doing running with me? I finally walked so far to get to the county seat, and now I'm going to be taken back by you again. ”
"Aren't you from this county?"
"I should only count half of it, my grandparents' house is here, but my mom had this happen to me when I was very young. He was holding a gold bar and chased me from the east end of the town to the west end, and he gave me two slaps with his hand. ”
Xia Yuxi said, looking at Jiang Chengxuan, who was also relatively thinly dressed, and felt that the two of them were really two brothers who were suffering. I was beaten, and I couldn't drink hot tea or roast at home on such a snowy day.
The two children looked at each other, and then lay neatly in the snow.
