23. Solar eclipse
In the past six months, the relationship between Xu Ruo and Shi Yihai has not been discovered by anyone.
Although Xinhua Bookstore is full of people, Xu Ruo and Shi Yihai occupy the most corner position, and there are licenses and potted plants in the way, so it is very safe.
As usual, Xu Ruo and Shi Yihai did their homework quietly in Xinhua Bookstore.
The sun gradually darkened, and at first the two of them did not realize it, until the bookstore was full of noise that "it was a solar eclipse". Xu Ruo and Shi Yihai glanced at each other and walked to the window together.
I saw a semi-circle of shadows swallowing the sun little by little, until the sun darkened entirely, leaving only a ring of light around it. , although it is only the afterglow of the aperture escaping, it is enough for everyone to barely see. And it won't make it impossible for everyone to look directly at the sky. At this moment, the whole world looked up and was shocked by the sight, and the whole sky was a dull tone, and there was a faint and soft halo left.
Shi Yihai held Xu Ruo's hand a moment before the darkness, and at this time he was already half a head taller than Xu Ruo.
Xu Ruoyi held Shi Yihai tightly, and everything was silent.
The eclipse soon faded, but the talk continued. The bookstore, which used to be quiet, is now like a vegetable market.
Shi Yihai and Xu Ruo couldn't help but chat after returning to their original positions.
"This is a solar eclipse. Shi Yihai sighed: "I heard that the solar eclipse will occur once every 500 years! We are really lucky to be touched by us." ”
"Luck is good. Xu Ruo echoed: "It's good luck to be able to watch the solar eclipse once in 500 years with you." She grinned, but what she said made the boy opposite laugh too.
……
In this way, half a year has passed, and Xu Ruo is about to face the high school entrance examination, which is another turning point in her life, and she herself is full of confidence.
Xu Meiren was worried that she was not nutritious enough, so she stewed bone broth to replenish her body. Xu Youguo's current freight has initially set up a small company, and he is usually busy with his feet not touching the ground, and now it is rare to go home on time every night, and he cares about whether Xu Ruo is under pressure or something.
Xu Ruo was funny, but also reluctant, if she went to Rongcheng High School. It's a two-hour journey back and forth to the city, and I'm afraid I'll have to live on campus. You can only go home on Saturday and Sunday, and dance classes are going to stop...... and Shi Yihai...... Xu Ruo sighed, forget it, even if you want to go to Rongcheng High School, there is still a summer vacation.
The high school entrance examination came as scheduled, with two days of exams and six test papers, passing in a flash. Xu Ruo walked out of the exam room without any pressure, ending two days that were torturous for most people.
When I met my classmates on the way, some were expressionless, some were depressed and annoyed, and some were confident, and few were so light-hearted.
Everyone knew Xu Ruo's strength, but no one asked her how she did in the exam, and they discussed the difficult problems in the test paper and answered each other. As a result, some people are happy and some are sad.
After the exam, they each wrote a class record, which is a commemoration of the three years of junior high school.
The third year of junior high school is the middle school entrance examination, and the first year of junior high school is a holiday.
Shi Yihai and others were outside the school wall, waiting for Xu Ruo to come out.
Xu Ruo deliberately asked her mother to cook a delicious meal at home, saying that she wanted to celebrate her victorious return, so Xu Meiren didn't come today.
The two of them were like spies, walking one after the other, waiting until they were out of the range of acquaintances. Shi Yihai smiled in front of him with a sunny face, and a dimple also concealed sweetness.
Xu Ruofei ran over, revealing the delicate appearance of her little daughter who had never been shown in front of others: "Xiaoyi, let's go and take a big head sticker today." ”
"Good. Shi Yihai replied with a smile: "You have the final say today." Let's go. ”
The two of them held hands all the way, laughing and chatting while walking, and after a while, they came to a jewelry store, where there was a place to shoot big stickers.
spent 10 yuan to shoot 20 photos of all kinds of headshots, one for each person, and the demeanor was intimate. The boss also saw too many young couples coming to take headshots, and he was not too surprised. Only the photos were packaged and handed to two people.
I went to the snack street again, you feed each other one bite at a time, and the atmosphere is sweet.
Within two hours, it was getting dark. Xu Ruo and Shi Yihai said goodbye and gave each other the first hug.
After Xu Ruo returned home, he only felt that he was surrounded by the smell of Shi Yihai.
Since Xu Youguo made money, Xu Ruo and the others naturally moved to a community with much better conditions.
Still far away, Xu Ruo saw the warm orange light from the window of her home, as if waiting for her, she felt guilty in her heart and quickened her pace.
Xu Ruo stood at the door, took out the key and opened the door, only to feel the fragrance, she walked in.
Xu Youguo and Xu Meiren sat on the stool with frowns, and when they saw Xu Ruo coming back, they stood up suddenly.
"Where did you kid go, I'm worried about death. Xu Meiren walked quickly to Xu Ruo's side to check her daughter's situation.
"Alright, let's start dinner when the child comes back. Xu Youguo also put his mind at ease, he believed that his daughter was measured, maybe he forgot to notify them this time, and it seemed that he was going to buy a mobile phone for his daughter.
Xu Meiren heard this, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's time to eat, Mom burned your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and braised chicken wings." ”
Xu Ruo was moved and guilty in her heart, moved by the unconditional trust of her family, and guilty of being too presumptuous, she opened her mouth: "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry." ”
"Okay, next time you have something to tell your family, do you know?" Xu Youguo said: "Come over for dinner." ”
"Hmm. ”
Xu Meiren also led Xu Ruo to the dining table to sit down as usual.
Xu Ruo didn't know the taste of this meal, she reflected on whether she had spent too much thought on Shi Yihai and neglected her family, but she couldn't help it, Shi Yihai was a love catastrophe that she couldn't escape in her two lifetimes.
……
Two days later, the school got the results, and the volunteers were filled in a long time ago. When Xu Ruo got the report card, he also saw Teacher He's smiling eyes.
Xu Ruo's high school entrance examination results are full marks except for two points each for Chinese composition and reading comprehension! This result can be said to be proud of the others.
It's just that the high school entrance examination is not as much attention as the college entrance examination. Xu Ruo's results are only circulated in nearby junior high schools. As for Rongcheng High School, they are already smiling at the moment, if this student comes to Rongcheng, it will only increase the probability of Rongcheng being the top student in the college entrance examination three years later!
Xu Ruo took the report card home, and after Xu Meiren read it, she stayed for a second before she happily called Xu Youguo and told him the news......
So, that night, Xu Ruo received his own gift, a smartphone!
Xu Ruo looked at Xu Youguo in surprise: "Dad?"
Xu Youguo smiled: "Xiaoruo, Dad bought a mobile phone for you, one is convenient to contact, and the other is to believe you, do you understand." ”
"I see. Xu Ruo hugged Xu Youguo: "Thank you, Dad." ”
The father and daughter hugged for a while, and the time was quiet.
Xu Ruo went to Rongcheng High School, which is already a certainty. In addition to practicing dance every day during the summer vacation, Xu Ruo used his new mobile phone to chat with Shi Yihai, although he was a little sorry for his father's hard work, but Xu Ruo couldn't control himself, and comforted himself and said that as long as his father didn't know, it would be fine.
In his spare time, he also sorted out the notes of the second and third years of junior high school, and handed them to Shi Yihai when he arrived in the city.
Xu Ruo's purpose is twofold, one is to help Shi Yihai study, and the second is to let his traces fill his life even if he is not by Shi Yihai's side.
Shi Yihai didn't know Xu Ruo's second plan, if he knew, he was afraid that he would shout: Xiao Ruo is really - smart! But now he was only moved.
The number of times the two met during the summer vacation was very rare, and even the short time they met did not forgive the two.
Eventually, separation. Xu Youguo sent Xu Ruo on the way to Rongcheng High School. Shi Yihai was also promoted by one level, the second year of junior high school.
