Chapter 518: Youth (8)
Gong Yanshu just cried hard, although he had stopped at this time, but he still couldn't help but burp all the time, hearing Xiaotu say that he was the only man in the family, he pursed his lips, forced himself to suppress the tears that came up, and just looked at his sister's face blankly.
The face is still the same face, but the temperament is completely different from the Gong Momo in Gong Yanshu's memory.
He didn't know that this was because the soul under Gong Momo's face was not the same as the one he knew, he just felt that his sister must have suffered a lot to become what she is now.
- She looks even better, but it makes Gong Yanshu feel even more uncomfortable.
He grew up as the youngest child in the family, or the only boy, and he was quite pampered, compared to Gong Momo and the other two sisters, because he was young, he would not let him do any rough work in the field, and some of the work in the family, and because those girls in the countryside did not have much hands, it can be said that he grew up to ten years old, although the family was poor, but he was the only one who did not suffer much.
However, even so, Gong Yanshu was not spoiled.
He knows the conditions of his family, so he has always been very sensible, his three sisters are more than ten years older than him, and the youngest Gong Momo is also ten years older than him, saying that he is a sister, in fact, he is already the same as his mother.
And Gong Momo is the kind of down-to-earth and diligent person, and Gong Yanshu is also the same.
In the past, when Gong Momo was not in college, Gong Yanshu often followed her to read and write, and Gong Momo occasionally taught him some principles of how to behave in the world - although it is not a truth, it is very useful in daily life.
The more books he reads, the more Gong Yanshu knows, the more things a person experiences, the more he knows, the better he will be.
At this moment, looking at her sister who was even more dazzling than before, the first thought in Gong Yanshu's mind turned out to be that she didn't know how much her sister had suffered.
Xiaotu didn't know what this little guy was thinking, but she could see that he was in a very lost mood, and in line with the professional ethics of playing Gong Momo, she patiently said a lot to Gong Yanshu.
She has experienced a lot of the world and lived for a long time, so she naturally knows how to convince a person in the shortest possible time, so it didn't take long for Gong Yanshu to swear to her with tears in her eyes that she would be how she would be in the future.
Xiaotu listened to his assurance, and didn't say believe it or not, just smiled and listened—just like when Gong Momo hadn't gone to college yet.
When the two sisters and brothers are occasionally free, Gong Momo will tell stories to Gong Yanshu, and when Gong Yanshu listens to them, he will make comments on the people in the story, either for the worship of heroes or for the contempt for villains.
The sun was gradually going down, and the sky was slowly darkening, Xiaotu suddenly turned his head sideways, looked at Gong Yanshu and said, "Mom and Dad are coming back soon, right?"
Gong Yanshu's expression was stunned for a moment, his eyes were hot and his nose was sore, and he wanted to cry again.
However, after Xiaotu's brainwashing just now, he felt that he no longer had the right to cry, so he sniffed and said in a thick nasal voice: "You, are you leaving?"
Xiaotu sat on the threshold and looked at the vegetable garden in the yard, which was growing very gratifying, and some common vegetables were planted in it, such as cucumbers and cabbage.
At this time in June, there are already delicate and tender cucumbers on the vines.
When Gong Momo was a child, he occasionally had no money to buy snacks, so he picked those small cucumbers that had not yet grown up as snacks.
——After being discovered, he was naturally criticized by the parents of the Gong family.
However, Gong Momo still likes to eat very much.
At this moment, Xiaotu looked at those little cucumbers, and suddenly a sly smile appeared on his face.
Gong Yanshu blinked in confusion, and saw Xiaotu stand up and jump into the vegetable garden, and dragged down two tender cucumbers from the green vines, which were also palm-long, and there were dense thorns on them.
Xiaotu threw one of them to Gong Yanshu, and he didn't need to wash it, so he snorted it with his hand, and directly clicked and bit it.
It's crisp and crisp, and it's really delicious.
Xiaotu took a bite and laughed: "When I was so old with you, I especially liked to eat this kind of cucumber that had not yet grown, and at that time I always felt that this was simply the most delicious thing in the world." ”
- Well, at the same time, the most delicious thing in Gong Momo's eyes is the soybeans pickled by Gong Momo's mother, which are marinated and sealed in a glass jar, and some are dug out when you want to eat, or mixed noodles or sandwiched in steamed buns, or even directly used as snacks, which are very delicious.
When Gong Yanshu heard her say, he slowly slurred the cucumber in his hand, removed all the thorns on it, and then took a bite.
- I don't know why, it's really delicious, but after one bite, my eyes can't help but get a little hot.
Xiao Tu took two bites to get rid of the cucumber, and then reached out and touched Gong Yanshu's head, the movement was very gentle,
Gong Yanshu bit the cucumber in his mouth and was still chewing, and then he saw his sister smiling slightly and took a step back.
There was only one step away, and this moment seemed to be suddenly separated from the moat.
Gong Yanshu's eyes stared at Xiao Tu, whose figure was getting lighter and lighter, and tried to keep his eyes wide open, and his eyes did not move, for fear that in the blink of an eye, the person with the outline in front of him would suddenly disappear.
……
Seven years later, at a university in a certain city, Gong Yanshu dragged his suitcase and stood at the gate, looking up at the nameplate of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing in a daze.
- My sister was also admitted to this university.
Gong Yanshu opened his eyes and was stunned for a while, and then slowly walked in.
The school is very large, and it is completely different from the elementary school in the town or the high school in the county where I used to stay.
He refused the seniors who warmly welcomed the new students, just stood at the entrance and looked at the map, determined the direction, and then dragged his suitcase and walked slowly.
His sister's ghost had come back once, and he thought it was a hallucination, but when Mom and Dad returned, they found a box of newspapers on the table — and the cash in the box.
Because of that money, the life of the family suddenly relaxed a lot, but neither Gong Yanshu nor the two parents of the Gong family felt happy because of this.
- If they had a choice, they would rather live poorer than have one less person in their family.
Gong Yanshu looked at the bright acacia flowers blooming in the garden, pink, very beautiful, and smelled very good, he closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.
I heard that this university had a president seven years ago, and the new president is an old gentleman with high academic attainments, who is very respectful, and his reputation is also very good after becoming the president.
- That's good, isn't it?
Sister.
Everything was fine.
I'm fine, my family is good, and my new school is good.
So—
You okay?
