Chapter 21: I saw him
Everyone practiced this dance for a month.
It seems long, but in fact, it is really not that long for a group dance. A month is just enough for them to dance this dance completely without missing a beat, so that they can see it.
It has been a hard month for both the dance teacher and the girls, including Ruan Wan, who is not very interested in it, but since she has done it, of course she has to do it well.
Over the course of a month, my mother turned on the phone again and asked her if she wanted to stay there for a while. Ruan Wan knew that her mother's inquiry was very sincere this time. Because last winter, my mother's current mother-in-law passed away. The reason why I know is because at that time in my last life, my grandmother happened to step on the snow and accidentally slipped and fell and injured herself. She was very scared at the time and called her mother crying, begging her to come and have a look, but her mother couldn't come back in time because her mother-in-law was critically ill. After that, my mother left sadly, and the already bad relationship between my grandmother and my mother and daughter became even more stiff.
In this life, she was very careful in winter, and her grandmother naturally had no chance of falling and injuring herself, and that "dilemma" naturally did not appear in front of her mother.
In any case, after the death of the person who looked at his mother the most unpleasantly, his mother finally "stayed up until the moon dawned", and she could finally straighten her waist. In her last life, she was very happy to go there for a summer vacation, and she has never forgotten it, and every time she called, she would inevitably say "I want to go again". So, after graduating from junior high school, she successfully went to high school there. And then......
Her fate went all the way and finally fell to the bottom.
Although the root cause is that she is "doing" enough, Ruan Wan thinks that she will never set foot there again in her life.
Luckily, she had a very valid reason to refuse her mother's invitation this time. Win glory for the town and the school, how can you be absent? When my mother heard about this, she only experienced a brief silence before giving up on the matter. After hanging up the phone, Ruan Wan stroked her heart, smiled bitterly and found very helplessly that she really couldn't completely let go, and she still couldn't help but think, "If the person who said this was Qiao's wish, would my mother give up so easily?" Will it? But she soon discovered that there was no point in asking herself such questions, because the answer was predestined, from the beginning.
Fortunately, she won't be sad about this kind of thing for too long.
Ruan Wan, who quickly put it behind her, finally ushered in the "moment of testing the masses".
The judging session will last for seven days from August 1 to August 7. And Ruan Wan's dance program was placed on the sixth day, which can be regarded as the finale. Originally, they were supposed to go in the school's chartered car on the fifth, stay for one night that day, stay another night after the performance on the sixth, and come back on the seventh with the others who had been there for seven days.
It's rare to "go out collectively together", even if it's just a short day, Song Ting and Yu Qiaoqiao are quite excited about this, and they keep discussing "what to bring when the time comes", but in fact, there is nothing. They have all done their homework, and they only have a week to go, so they don't need to bring books. There are few clothes in summer, and girls don't need to use any skin care products and cosmetics, and a full bag is just a backpack.
At noon on August 5, my grandmother sent Ruan Wan to the gate. Song Ting and Yu Qiaoqiao didn't come, because they made an appointment to meet at the fork in the road after school every day.
Ruan Wan and her grandmother's demeanor, words and deeds are very normal, after all, it is only a short-term separation for a day or two, and they will see each other again soon.
"Nothing was left behind, was there?"
"No, I've checked it several times."
"Alright, let's go."
Ruan Wan nodded: "Well, grandma, you have to be careful at home." ”
"Got it." Grandma reached out and nudged her shoulder, "Go ahead, don't let anyone else wait for you." ”
Ruan Wan then took a step forward and embarked on the first "journey" after returning from rebirth. The mood is a little dull, but a little relaxed - this summer vacation is completely different from the previous life. No, her life has been different from the moment she came back.
Realizing this, she turned her head and saw her grandmother wiping the corners of her eyes with a white handkerchief embroidered with orchids on the corners, with an innegligible sentimental look in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Ruan Wan was stunned.
Grandma was also stunned.
The latter was the first to react, and moved the handkerchief under his nose very quickly and wiped it a few times, with a look of "Mourning family has a cold, what to see?" Don't look at it! ".
The reluctance in Ruan Wan's heart disappeared in an instant, and she raised her hands and shouted loudly, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow!" Grandma, remember to make mint cake and mung bean paste buns and wait for me to come back and eat! ”。
Grandma waved at her in disgust.
Ruan Wan then smiled and ran away.
Although she was worried about her loved ones, her steps were extremely relaxed, and soon, she and her friends met and walked to the playground together.
By the time the three of them arrived, most of them had already arrived. In the middle of the playground is a coach parked by the school. At this time, the bus was almost not air-conditioned, and it was very hot when I first sat on it, but fortunately, I could open the window when I drove it. However, compared to the "air-conditioned bus" that became mainstream a few years later, Ruan Wan prefers this, because she was a "senior motion sickness person" in her last life, how dizzy is it? Let's put it this way, "I can't sit on anything except a leaky car on all sides" - this sentence is a true portrayal of her.
She is especially afraid of making a small car that is not very clean, the interior space is not large, full of the smell of oil, smoke and sweat, and she already wants to vomit just by getting close.
Fortunately......
In her previous life, after she followed him out of the quagmire and "fled", he took her depressed mood to the end, and the result of doing too much transportation in the process was that she began to get less motion sickness.
At least after his death, she barely fainted, and walked alone with his urn through the tourist route they had designed together. When we went on the road together, she had never suffered anything, and at that time she felt fortunate that he was there, otherwise she would definitely have a headache and collapse; When he was gone, she realized that she was not as fragile as she imagined - she was not afraid of death, the most important things were lost, and what was a little suffering?
Therefore, this time Ruan Wan still did not get motion sickness.
Song Ting is even luckier, she was born without motion sickness.
Only Yu Qiaoqiao, two or three hours of driving, she vomited five or six times, and when she got out of the car, she was very unconscious, she was floating when she walked, and she looked pitiful when she drank too much. Seeing this, Ruan Wan and Song Ting had to give up the scheduled plan of "going out shopping together" and accompanied her back to the hotel to rest. The hotel they live in is the same as the rest of the town, and they can take care of each other.
Because Ruan Wan, Song Ting and Yu Qiaoqiao have a good relationship, the person in charge simply arranged the three of them in the same three-person standard room.
Yu Qiaoqiao lay down as soon as she entered the door, Song Ting threw away her backpack, found the remote control board and turned on the air conditioner in the room, the air conditioner instantly filled the room, she sighed happily, and leaned back on the bed: "Comfortable!" Then he complained, "It's really hot in the city, and I don't feel hot at home if I don't blow the fan." ”
"yes." Ruan Wan nodded in agreement.
There is a lot of water in the town, and many houses are even built near the water. Although my grandmother's house is not, it is warm in winter and cool in summer. When you go to bed at night, leave the doors and windows open, and the wind blows through the hall, not to mention how comfortable it is, and there will be no such unbearable heat at all. Ruan Wan pulled the clothes on her body, only to feel that there was a smell of sweat and the smell of the car, which was very unpleasant. So he asked the other two, "Are you taking a shower?" If I don't wash it, I want to wash one. ”
Yu Qiaoqiao and Song Ting said that they wanted to rest for a while.
So Ruan Wan rushed into the bathroom to wash her hair and take a shower, she had to admit that the city also has the advantages of the city - her grandmother's house does not have a water heater, and she has to boil water by herself to wash her hair and bathe, which is really not convenient. She thought that she wouldn't go out for the time being anyway, so she simply walked out in a nightdress after washing. This nightdress was cut by herself, a very simple thick suspender style, the texture is pure white cotton, and the waist is loosely cinched with an elastic band. In addition, she herself embroidered some small light yellow patterns on the shoulder straps, waist and skirt, which looked very small and fresh, and also very suitable for the taste of little girls. So as soon as I went out, I won the appreciation of my two friends.
"Wanwan, your nightdress is so beautiful! Right, Qiaoqiao? ”
"Well, it's beautiful."
Ruan Wan smiled, then took out two other nightdresses with the same texture and style from her bag, and handed her to the two of them: "Do you want to try it?" "If there is any difference, it is probably the color of the texture - Song Ting is red, Yu Qiaoqiao is pink.
Song Ting and Yu Qiaoqiao were instantly pleasantly surprised.
Song Ting shook off her skirt and compared it on her body, and found that the size was just right, and she didn't know that this was made by Ruan Wan for herself, so she immediately rushed up and hugged Ruan Wan's neck, and kissed her on the face.
"Wanwan, I love you to death!"
As for Yu Qiaoqiao......
Taking advantage of Song Ting's excitement, she slipped into the bathroom with her skirt and the towel underwear she found, and when Song Ting reacted and knocked on the door, she had already turned on the sprinkler inside.
"Hey! Qiaoqiao, aren't you dizzy and stuffy? Song Ting shouted very "considerately", "Come out and rest again!" ”
Yu Qiaoqiaowen's weak voice came from inside: "As soon as I am happy, I will not be dizzy or depressed." ”
Song Ting: "......" fall! Who believes!
So, Song Ting, who held a grudge, fought with Yu Qiaoqiao with a pillow after washing the dishes as well!
Ruan Wan, who was worried about "disaster to the fish in the pond", very wittily, put on a thin coat and walked to the small balcony where the guests were drying their clothes, and looked out through the window. The location of this hotel is not in the city center, but it is also very busy. For example, under the window, there is the legendary "food street". Even if the window is closed, the fragrance will drill into the nose one by one, which is called a mouthwatering.
"Lamb skewers!"
"Cool shrimp!"
"Ice powder!"
……
Listening to these cries, Ruan Wan smiled, it is really a gathering of delicacies from all over the world. She remembered that he liked to eat ice powder the most in the summer, which was "infected" by her, and at the beginning she always fed him a spoonful or two when she ate, and in the end, he would stop and eat a bowl every time he met him on the street. Ice powder ice powder, as the name suggests, like ice not ice, like powder not powder, brightly packed in a small plastic bowl, beautiful and cool, pay the boss and then scoop a spoonful of brown syrup or other juice into it, mix it together and eat it is really cold, sweet and pleasant.
Thinking about it, her gaze unconsciously fell on the ice powder stand, and then ......
Suddenly!
Is that......
Is that!
In the next second, Ruan Wan ran back to the room without thinking about it and grabbed the door.
“…… Wanwan? ”
"Where are you going?"
