Zhu Xiaomei returned to the room, closed the door behind her back, and looked at Xiao Yao a little shy. Xiao Yao was stunned by her series of actions, how cautious is this singing?

"Xiao Yao, if you don't sing well, you are not allowed to laugh at me. ”

Zhu Xiaomei stood by the door and reminded Xiao Yao infinitely shyly. Xiao Yao didn't want to disturb her emotions, and nodded solemnly.

Zhu Xiaomei cleared her throat and sang a euphemistic and poignant song "Cuckoo Cries Blood".

I keep moaning in the spring and summer,

I have been crying all night,

Crisp and rapid chirp,

Can't wake up your buried affection.

Delicate and dripping vivid,

I can't wait for your loving morning and dusk.

cuckoo bird song,

Rhododendron blooms.

The cuckoo bird cries, reflecting the red mountains,

When will the sad call for love in the heart?

Rhododendron blooms, curling Tingting,

Cheche wept and mourned that the blood was about to be drained.

My sister's heart is a soft heart,

Brother's heart is an iron heart.

The cuckoo cries blood, dripping with affection,

Cuckoos cry blood, and the branches chirp alone.

Could it be, helpless,

The falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless.

Could it be that providence is absolute,

Love without a cause is destined to drift away.

The singing voice was like crying, and Xiao Yao saw the tears flashing in Zhu Xiaomei's eyes. But Xiao Yao thought that she was immersed in this poignant singing voice and was moved by the lyrics.

Xiao Yao only listened to the lyrics, and only appreciated the songs.

And Zhu Xiaomei sings from her heart, her call from the bottom of her heart. But this stupid Xiao Yao didn't notice it at all. And it was such a negligence, in the summer of a year later, he finally harmed Zhu Xiaomei's life.

This is exactly what it is:

The cuckoo cries blood and does not know the sound,

Don't complain about it.

He will meet again in a foreign land,

Like a flower girl, she ruined her life.

After Zhu Xiaomei finished singing, she lowered her eyebrows and rested for a long time before she turned back to reality from her own loss. When she saw Xiao Yao's gaze, avoiding her own scrutiny, she said a little sadly:

"Why are your eyes flashing? Even if I'm not as beautiful as your classmates, I'm not scary-looking, right?"

In fact, she wronged Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao wanted to see her but didn't dare to look at it blatantly.

Zhu Xiaomei sang emotionally, and through the lyrics, she expressed her heart, and she was so shy that she couldn't help herself. At this time, her face was flushed, her beautiful eyes were affectionate, and the living reality version of the white was red and different.

In the face of such a delicate and delicate beauty, if it were a different person, Xiao Yao would not be so calm, and his eyes would not move, just because she was the sister of a friend, Xiao Yao did not dare to be presumptuous.

At this time, Xiao Yao's deliberate dodge was pierced by Zhu Xiaomei, and he said with embarrassment on his face:

"Third sister, you are talking back, you are ...... I'm ......."

Xiao Yao didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that she would mistake her for misdeeds. Zhu Xiaomei is actually one year younger than Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao has been following Zhu Xihuan to call the third sister in front of her, and she feels that she is not as old as her.

This is completely different from the mentality he felt when facing Yuan Yuan.

This may be caused by the environment, or it may be influenced by Zhu Xihuan often calling her the third sister in front of him.

Zhu Xiaomei saw Xiao Yao stammering, and she also knew the meaning of his words. She turned around and took out a photo from the drawer and handed it to Xiao Yao.

"If you like to see it, take it back and look at it slowly, but don't let anyone else see it. ”

Xiao Yao took the photo in his hand and looked at it carefully. This is a three-inch photo in one chapter, in the era when all the photos had to go to the photo studio, this three-inch photo in the wild was considered a luxury.

Xiao Yao learned many years later that Zhu Xiaomei specially took a photo for him. This is the only photo of her as a girl.

In the photo, a fair lady with a smile on her face and long hair slanted over her shoulders.

In the girl's hand, she held a pale blue parasol with fine flowers, leaning on her right shoulder. She wears a light cyan dress with lotus leaves and lotus flower patterns.

On the slender waist, the skirt is tied with a standard bow, and the whole person stands under an osmanthus tree more than one person high, and the tree is full of small silver flowers. The trees are beautiful, the flowers are beautiful, and the people are more beautiful.

"It's beautiful!"

Xiao Yao could see it, and his mouth was sincerely admired.

"Hmph, that's stupid. ”

When Xiao Yao looked at the photo and didn't speak, Zhu Xiaomei was still on the side, nervously waiting for his reaction. As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhu Xiaomei was so angry that she said and left.

Belch....... Xiao Yao didn't know where to offend her, and looked at the open door in a daze. Thinking about it, he felt that he shouldn't have said the praise in his heart, and he regretted it.

In the evening, under Zhu Xihuan's several urgings, Zhu Xiaomei made another meal of chicken soup and foreign rice noodles for Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao, who loves meat the most, resolutely did not eat a piece of meat this time, and only ate a bowl of foreign rice noodles with chicken broth.

After supper, Zhu Xiaomei gave her room to Xiao Yao and her younger brother to sleep in, and she took her little sister to sleep on Zhu Xihuan's bed.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yao refused the graciousness of Zhu Xihuan's family, and hurried home while it was freezing in the morning. Zhu Xiaomei watched Xiao Yao's figure go farther and farther, and her eyes were misty.

Neither of them thought that this parting would not be met by chance until more than 20 years later.

But at that time, the two were already there, things were people, and they hugged each other speechless and shed tears.

When Xiao Yao returned home, he muttered to his mother that he was going to visit his grandparents in the provincial capital. My father disagreed, saying that he would be there for two days.

Although Xiao Yao was not happy, he had no choice but to give up, at home, he thought he was the lowest status. According to his careful thoughts, when he saw his little sister at Zhu Xihuan's house yesterday, Xiao Yao wanted to be quiet, and he wanted to go to Zhou Zhen early.

Xiao Yao's mother saw that Xiao Yao was unhappy, so she only drank a few glasses of wine with the guests at noon, and then left under the pretext of feeling uncomfortable, and she was not energetic all afternoon.

In the evening, he didn't eat a few bites of food. Xiao's mother knew that Xiao Yao was making trouble in her heart, and after dinner, she did Xiao's father's work.

Early in the morning of the tenth day of the new year, Xiao's father went to the factory, and took advantage of the fact that the road was frozen and strong, and drove the truck in the factory to the dirt road at the entrance of the village.

Xiao Yao changed yesterday's malaise in the car, and said excitedly, if it wasn't for his father driving, he would probably have to run to the back compartment and shout.

The grandparents are only going to come to the eldest grandson for fifteen, but in the New Year, they can see the eldest grandson and granddaughter early, and the two old people are also very happy.

Xiao Yao accompanied his grandparents to dinner, so he excused himself that he couldn't sleep at night, he was going to play with his classmates, and he wouldn't come back at night.

Celebrating the New Year in the provincial capital does not have as many rules and exquisiteness as in the countryside. Especially like Xiao Yao's generation of young people, they don't care about etiquette.

Xiao Yao wanted to see if Xiao Ai had returned, and when he passed by the dock, he got out of the car and thought about stopping by to see Fan Fangfei. During the Spring Festival, there are many people watching movies and performances, and theaters are also the busiest season.

When Xiao Yao found Fan Fangfei, she was drawing a color picture on the billboard.

"Xiao Yao, why are you here? I will have a long time to finish painting, you can go to my house and wait for me first." ”

Fan Fangfei, who was holding oil paints and paintbrushes in her hands, was surprised and happy to see Xiao Yao. She reached out and handed the key to Xiao Yao. The new clothes they were wearing were the ones that Xiao Yao and they bought together when they went shopping together years ago.

"You're busy, I'm here to watch. ”

Xiao Yao wanted to see her paint, and he also wanted to see her, so he wanted to stay on it.

"No, you have to go, you're here, I can't feel at ease, if you can't draw well, you'll have to start all over again. Or, you ride a bike to pick up Xiao Ai, there is an Indian movie "The Wanderer" tonight, my colleagues say it's very good, let's watch it together at night. ”

As soon as Xiao Yao heard that this was okay, he hurriedly came to Fan Fangfei's dormitory and launched a bicycle to go to Xiao Ai's house. What is it called a mistake in being busy, Xiao Yao arrived at the door of Xiao Ai's house, only to remember that it was afternoon, and he was still empty-handed, which was not etiquette.

There are no gifts to do, he can go and buy them, but this time will not go back. Xiao Ai's parents are from the countryside, and they are real elders, which makes Xiao Yao embarrassed.

Just when Xiao Yao was standing not far from Xiao Ai's house, thinking about whether to buy gifts, the door of Xiao Ai's house opened. Xiao Ai stood at the door and looked around, and saw Xiao Yao holding the bicycle station in a daze.

"Brother Xiao Yao. ”

Xiao Ai exclaimed, flew to Xiao Yao's side like a swallow, hugged Xiao Yao tightly with both hands, and almost knocked down the bicycle.

"Brother Xiao Yao, I knew you would miss me, and you would definitely come to me. I've been here for two days, and I've been waiting for you every day. ”

This place is not an intersection, the new New Year, no one came to buy machinery, and there was no one around. Xiao Ai hugged Xiao Yao and chattered, unwilling to let go for a long time.

"Uh...... Xiao Ai, I came empty-handed, it's afternoon again, I'm about to go back, and I'll come to visit your parents tomorrow. ”

"Don't want anything, I just want you, my parents haven't come back from their hometown yet. ”

Xiao Yao was greatly relieved to hear that her parents were not at home.

It turned out that Xiao Ai went home with her parents a few years ago and only took the car to the station where Shizi Road ended. There is a long dirt road from the station to her house, all on foot.

Since the beginning of the year, Xiao Ai's family has been coming and going. All the visitors were beating her idea, either the boy was good-looking, or the boy was rich. Anyway, when it comes to eating and drinking, it's a matter of caring about the object of love.

Xiao Ai stayed at home for a few days, and she really couldn't stand such an environment. On the day Xiao Yao went to Zhu Xihuan's house, she had an awkward quarrel with her father, so she returned to the provincial capital alone.

She knew that Xiao Yao would come to her grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings, and as long as Xiao Yao came to bring the provincial capital, he would definitely come to her. In the past two days, she has been home alone, as long as there is a little movement outside, she will stick her head out to see, countless disappointments, in exchange for today's surprise.

"You're home alone, why don't you go to Sister Fangfei?"

"Wasn't I afraid that you wouldn't find me when you came?"

The whole country is bustling with excitement for the New Year, and she is waiting hopelessly here alone, as long as she knows the bitterness in her heart. When Xiaoai spoke, she was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

"Silly girl, I can't find you when I come, and I'll go to her, I just passed by her first. She's busy with work, so let's go to the movies in the evening, okay?"

"It's good that you can't forget that goblin, but I'm going to sleep with me now, and I'm sleepy. ”

It's still early in the evening, and Xiao Ai doesn't want to leave now. In the past two days, she was alone here, and she was startled at night, and she didn't have a good rest. You know, she's grown so big, and she hasn't spent the night alone alone.

Now, Xiao Yao, who she thinks about day and night, is here, she doesn't want to let go of this opportunity, she wants to make up for sleep first.

Xiao Yao was very excited to see Xiao Ai, but the tiredness on his face still couldn't be hidden, and his delicate face was a little yellow. Xiao Yao picked her up and put her on her own bed.

"You sleep, I'm not sleepy, I'll watch you sleep. ”

How could Xiao Ai ignore Xiao Yao's statement? She didn't speak, she directly took off Xiao Yao's coat, took off her coat again, and hugged Xiao Yao and lay on the bed together.
