Twelve. Dreams come true
If she was not admitted to a key high school, her father in an ordinary high school didn't want to provide for her anymore, after all, a girl's family has been in a family for two years or two years less, and she can't still find her in-law's house at home, anyway, Li Jinfeng doesn't support her anymore, according to secret heard, her eldest son Huainan said that he was the matchmaker, and he needed to spend a lot of money, so Yingying had to go home and accept her fate.
It's a hot summer, it's a gray summer vacation. Yingying knows that from this summer vacation, she will say goodbye to her dreams forever, and she will start a new life. Yingying likes to sit alone in the poplar forest in a daze, she saw Lily wearing a bright red dress swaying from the path to her, it happened that Xiaojun suddenly stood on the side of the road, so the two talked and laughed loudly on the side of the road, Yingying saw that Lily was so beautiful in front of Xiaojun, Lily liked Xiaojun, she told her in person a long time ago, Yingying felt that Xiaojun also liked her, she looked at them talking together is so speculative, it is really a natural pair.
Yingying looked at the two of them from afar, feeling that she really had no right to talk to them, so after a while, when Lily shouted at her to come over, Yingying only smiled, shook her head and didn't move.
At the time of the set, Li Jinfeng made a gown with lotus flowers for Yingying, Yingying put on the gown and looked at Li Jinfeng embarrassedly, and called "Mom——" Li Jinfeng grinned happily.
So Yingying often wore that gown under the old willow tree for most of the day, although she knew that her gown could not be compared with Lily's red dress, but this could still make her heart feel a warm velvet, Li Jinfeng still hurt her a little.
She could often see Xiaojun scurrying around at various intersections in the village, and she thought in her heart that a boy like Xiaojun was probably only Lily who could match him, thinking like this, every time she met Xiaojun, she just greeted Xiaojun lightly and bowed her head, and Xiaojun was also faint.
Originally, it felt very ordinary, but I don't know when it began, Yingying found that no matter where she appeared, Xiaojun could always appear in her sight, which made her gray and silent heart suddenly have a sweet little surprise feeling, and she suddenly remembered what Xiaojun said to her last summer, "You are too melancholy, suitable for writing, can you control it?" Yingying knew that sometimes Lily would take the articles she wrote to read, Xiaojun often played at her house and probably read them, and the teachers also recommended her to submit them at school, but she always felt that her hope was slim and stranded. What can that be? For people her age, if she doesn't get into school, she loses the last straw that saves her life, and there is a world of difference between her and them. Xiaojun won't like her, even if there is really a little bit, probably just want to give her a little strength, an understanding, Yingying felt a trace of bitter warmth, Yingying felt that if Xiaojun really likes anyone, then what he really likes is Lily.
It was another afternoon, the men, women and children on the village sat under the big willow tree at the head of the bridge to enjoy the shade, Yingying also sat in the corner of the straw mat to listen to the adults, suddenly she turned around and saw a tanned but skeletal back, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it took a while to react, it turned out that it was Xiaojun who was sitting there, sitting with him on his back to back, she could even touch it as soon as she stretched out her hand, she had never been in close contact with Xiaojun so closely, he usually looked thin, but he didn't expect it to be so strong, his muscles and bones were so distinct, his skin was so healthy and full, his shoulders looked so wide, ohWhen did Xiao Jun grow up and become like this? Yingying turned her head and thought quietly, a subtle smile on the corner of her mouth.
At this time, Yingying found that there was a magazine next to her at some point, which was folded into a long strip and placed there quietly. Yingying took it with her hand, Xiaojun turned his head to look at her, and the tacit understanding and joy of the two of them were in their hearts without saying a word.
Yingying took the magazine in her hand and flipped it through faithfully, there was a strange feeling, the feeling was like a mist that engulfed her in it, like a cloud swimming in the sky of purple air, floating gracefully, she slowly lifted the paper page by page, and suddenly she saw an article the size of a tofu block, short and concise, you might as well read it. It's Zhang Ailing's "Love":
"It's true.
"There is a girl from a well-off family in a village, she is beautiful, there are many people as matchmakers, but she is not said to be, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old that year, it was a spring evening, she stood at the back door, holding the peach tree, she remembered that she was wearing a moon-white shirt, the young man who lived opposite, met her, but never said hello, he came over, not far away, stood still, and said softly: "Oh, are you here too?" she didn't say anything, he didn't say anything more, stood for a while, and walked away.
"That's it.
Later, this woman was abducted by her relatives, bought to be a concubine in another county of the township, and was resold several times, after countless thrilling turmoil, when she was old, she still remembered the old thing, and often talked about the young man on that spring evening, under the peach tree.
"Meet the person you want to meet among thousands of people, in the wilderness of endless time for thousands of years, there is no one step earlier, no one step later, just in time, and there is nothing else to say, but to ask softly: 'Oh, are you here too?'"
Yingying read it carefully, she felt that every sentence and word in this short article seemed to be talking about her, and Xiaojun was the young man who asked her, thinking of this, she put down the magazine, and a trace of melancholy hit her heart.
Lily said that Xiaojun said that she should go to an ordinary high school or something, she is too melancholy, she should be happy, and everything will be better. In the evening, when grandma went to her aunt's house, Yingying lay alone on the bed thinking about what Lily said, and Xiaojun's lingering figure, and gradually fell asleep unconsciously.
I didn't know what dream I had in a daze, and suddenly I dreamed that Xiaojun came to her house to look for her, she saw Xiaojun smiling towards her in the sun, and suddenly somehow it got dark, and it became night, she thought to herself, "Don't come here, it's a big night, and my grandmother won't stay home!" Who knew that Xiaojun still didn't listen to her, still walked over step by step, she hurriedly turned her back to ignore him, who knew that Xiaojun's hand stretched out, groped on her body, and shivered to her chest, and then the whole person was pressed towards her, a strange unbearable breath enveloped her, that person wanted to kiss her, she was completely angry, angrily reached out to hit, only to hear "pop!" sound, Yingying tried hard to open her sleepy eyes, only to hear the person in the dark said to her: " Yingying, you just follow me! Anyway, we are two people......" "Ahhh——h Hurry up and run over the wall, —— "Huaibei panicked, and climbed several times in a row towards a corner of the wall before escaping.
At this time, Yingying was still screaming vigorously, Li Jinfeng came over and pulled her, she sat on the ground and cried, Li Jinfeng lowered her body and lay on her head and whispered: "Don't cry! Why is a girl crying in the middle of the night? However, Yingying still couldn't stop crying loudly, and subconsciously felt that Huaibei's dirty and despicable big hand was still grabbing her body and not letting go, suddenly she hit the wall like crazy, Li Jinfeng hurriedly pulled it in fright, Yingying cried while struggling: "Let me die! I'm not alive——" Saying this, she suddenly thought of the big river behind her home, and just wanted to jump into the river, so she ran to the gate again, and hit the door with a loud bang, she made such a fuss, Li Jinfeng pulled her alone It was quite difficult, and Liu Dazhu only stood helplessly in the middle of the yard angrily, standing there with the shovel in his hand crossed, and the dogs around him were barking "Wangwang!", there were many people sleeping outside on summer nights, and when they heard the yard here, "Thin mile coo!" was beating and barking, and someone knocked on the door and asked:" Dazhu, have you recruited thieves at home?"
"Oh......" Liu Dazhu responded, paused before continuing: "It's nothing, you all go back to sleep...... Yingying was so frightened that she cried, and the thief told me to run away!"
Yingying seemed to have a little consciousness when she heard this, and suddenly sat at the gate and sobbed, she could even hear someone outside the door whispering: "Just now, Huaibei ran over the wall and ran ......", so she gradually lost the strength to cry, and was helped by Li Jinfeng and went into the east room to sleep on the bed, Li Jinfeng looked at her for a long time, and saw that there was no sound and told her to go back to the hall to sleep.
By the early morning of the next day, when everyone was eating with a bowl, the entire Meng Liuyao was quietly talking about Yingying's crying and fuss last night. Some people also said that in the middle of the night, they saw Huaibei running over the wall, and after eating, Lily came, she saw Yingying still sleeping alone on the bed motionless, Lily moved a bench to sit at the head of her bed, put her hand gently on her hair and stroked, Yingying opened her eyes and saw Lily's eyes infinitely sad: "Did you see anything last night?"
Yingying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes when she heard this, her face was already soaked in tears, she glanced at Lily, at that moment, her tears had rolled down a lot, but she snorted twice, but still changed her mind, she let out a breath, lay there and said slowly: "I don't know what dream I had, in the dream I dreamed that one had to kill me, he opened his teeth and claws in front of me, I fought and beat him desperately, I bit him, dug him, he ...... Just run away!" Yingying said calmly, her face as dead as ashes.
When Lily listened, she put a hand on Yingying's shoulder, leaned down, and the two of them lay together without saying anything.
For many days, Yingying didn't want to go out of the house again, Li Jinfeng always gouged her eyes when she came back from the ground to walk around to clean up the housework, and when she saw no one, Yingying heard herself whispering over there: "I've grown so big, it's also a big girl's family, pay attention to it in the morning and evening, I can't do anything old weird...... Yingying listened to the grievances and didn't squeak, yes, it's not a way to stay at home all the time, you have to see people! So she went to the ground, and she could feel the strange gazes that were thrown at her everywhere.
When I saw Xiaojun again, it was at a junction, it was almost dark, Yingying just walked with her head down, and when she looked up at a bend and saw Xiaojun, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, at that moment she subconsciously had an urge to turn around and walk away immediately, but her stubborn nature still made her stubborn and walk coldly.
"Have you landed on the ground?" Xiao Jun greeted her very politely, looking at her.
"Heh!" Yingying barely managed to squeeze out a smile, "What are you doing here?" she asked, but walked over silently with her head down.
Of course, Xiao Jun didn't have time to answer her words, so he watched her walk over with an indifferent expression or even indifference.
From then on, Yingying no longer expected to see Xiaojun again at a certain intersection in the village or in the field, she stubbornly blocked herself forcibly, she knew that she was not a person with him at all, and she was not worthy at all, not to mention that something like that happened to her again, in the eyes of others, she didn't know what kind of person she was going to look at. However, Xiaojun always appeared in his unique way, stirring up a ripple in her calm heart. If she weeds in the fields, she will definitely see the figure of a small army wandering in the woods not far away. If she hides in the crowd and listens to the croaking, he will surely quietly walk up to her and whisper, "Oh! The tone is so calm but straight into people's hearts, and it won't attract anyone's attention, as if it was only for her to listen, so she couldn't help but bow her head and smile, silent, and slowly she believed that probably Xiaojun would not dislike her, Xiaojun is such a smart and civilized person, he is probably able to penetrate this worldly vision, and really understand her person, not just because of her appearance. Because since the beginning of this summer vacation, I don't know when, Yingying found that every time she appeared in any place, she always attracted the attention of others, at first she thought it was because of that incident, and then gradually heard others say, "This girl looks so handsome!" Lily standing together, in terms of figure and facial features, she feels that she is much superior to them, the famous hero is the kind of unjust and dirty scumbag of the countrywoman, needless to say, Lily also seemed to have set a template overnight, even if the wide and flat big cake face is still the same as when she was a child, but it is difficult to be outstanding, she hopes that Xiaojun likes more than just her appearance.
The summer vacation has passed, Yingying has been sitting in a daze in the poplar forest, she doesn't want to see others go to school in a beautiful way, the dream that she dreamed of for her can no longer arouse her a trace of boiling, her strength is too fierce, her efforts have been too much, and now she has only ended up with such a miserable ending, and she has no more tears.
She just sat quietly like that, only to feel that without Xiaojun and Lily, the whole world was empty, suddenly heard a sound of footsteps around her, turned her head sharply, at that moment she almost screamed, she saw Xiaojun standing next to him with a book under his armpit.
"What are you thinking about sitting here?" asked Xiao Jun with a smile.
"Didn't think about anything!" Yingying smiled a little shyly and said, "Hey—— why didn't you go to school?" She saw that Xiaojun was wearing a brand new shirt today, a neat boy.
"Today is registration, there is no class for three days of school, I am not a freshman, and it is not too late to go tomorrow!" Xiaojun stood in front of her and looked at the green crops not far away.
"Oh!" Yingying also looked at the crops not far away, her heart became happy, Xiaojun didn't leave probably because he was thinking about her.
"What are you going to do?" asked Xiao Jun, turning his face to look at her.
"I ?......" Yingying glanced up at Xiao Jun in surprise, and Xiao Jun's words made her very gloomy, "Farm at home!"
"There's still a long way to go!" you shouldn't ...... like this," Xiao Jun said, still looking at the green crops not far away.
When Yingying heard this, she shook her head and said with a bitter smile: "There is still a long time...... she wanted to say: "It is you who have time, where else do I have time!"
Xiao Jun stopped talking, and the two of them looked at the verdant crops in front of them, as if in this season that should be full of vitality, in addition to this incomprehensible melancholy, the two of them were so confused that they couldn't see tomorrow or see reality clearly. After a long time, Xiao Jun turned his face, looked at the thousands of sad girls in front of him, and said helplessly: "You damn sorrow...... Harm...... Die...... People ......"
Yingying heard that she raised her sad eyes to look at Xiaojun, only to see that Xiaojun's originally blazing eyes were also looking at her infinitely sadly, at that moment Yingying's heart trembled, and she hurriedly turned her face to look at the crops in the distance, Xiaojun had turned around and left at this time, and Yingying finally looked at his back and disappeared into the depths of the poplar forest......
However, I don't know when, I turned my face and saw a magazine that Xiaojun had just dropped on the ground not far away, she couldn't help but take it over, who knew that she couldn't help but be taken aback when she flipped through it, she saw an article she had written "The Long Road", but the signature was "Mengyao", Yingying read the article in one breath excitedly, it was indeed written by her, but I don't know when and who published it.
