Being asked by Chen Ting, Zhou Xun fell into deep thought. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The boy ......
She hadn't seen him before, and she didn't know how he was now.
All she knew about him was the sound of reading aloud late every night, and she didn't know anything else.
If she could see him again, she wanted to thank him.
Thank you to him for giving her hope in life.
Thank you to him for getting her back on her feet......
"What's wrong? Seeing her standing there stunned and not responding at half-sound, Chen Ting asked worriedly.
Zhou Xun came to his senses and smiled slightly: "After you asked, I remembered that in fact, I hadn't seen that boy at all, and I didn't know anything about him. ”
Chen Ting's eyes were full of puzzlement: "How could it be? Didn't you say that he lived next door to your house?"
"Well, my mother said that he was the son of Uncle Li's family next door, and I didn't know him at that time, so I didn't know him, and then because of my father's work, we moved out of here, and I don't know if he still lives here. Zhou Xun thought about it.
She wondered if she should go next door and see the "little boy" who had influenced and changed her mind.
"Oh, yes, but I think we should thank him, if it weren't for him, maybe I wouldn't be where you are today. Chen Ting is also a person who knows how to be grateful.
Two people who really love each other don't need words, just a look and a movement, they can understand each other's inner thoughts and reach a tacit understanding.
Zhou Xun showed a knowing smile on her face, she was very relieved that Chen Ting was the one who really understood her.
She smiled with satisfaction, nodded and said, "You still know me, what you say is exactly what I think." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"It's called having a good heart. He hooked her nose dotingly, and a big smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Poor, then poor. She said this, but her heart blossomed, and she was embarrassed: "But it's not good to be so abrupt?"
Chen Ting looked at him with sincere eyes and said with a smile: "We are going to thank people, there is nothing bad, I don't know when I will come back next time, I don't think it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, besides, it's still early, why don't we visit his house now." ”
"That's right, I don't know when I'll go back to my hometown next time, so let's go over and visit now. She nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll go with you, there are some gifts in the car, I'll go and get them, let's visit for the first time and don't go empty-handed. Chen Ting said intimately.
"Okay, it's still thoughtful. She snuggled her head up to his shoulder in relief.
"Okay, I'll go get it, I'll see you at the door, I'll be back in a moment." Chen Ting put his arm around her shoulder affectionately and patted her gently.
"Hmm. Zhou Xun nodded in agreement.
Chen Ting walked out of the door with a smile, intending to go to the gift in the car.
At this time, Zhou Xun said his final goodbye to the old house, as if he was saying goodbye to his mother.
Bye!
The old house that carries my childhood memories.
Bye!
May you be well in heaven, my mother.
Zhou Xun gently closed the door with longing.
……
"Knock knock!"
Zhou Xun knocked on the door next door.
She and Chen Ting waited with smiles.
After a few moments, the door slowly opened.
An old lady with silver hair stood outside the door, looking at the two of them standing outside the door, she felt that her face was raw, she couldn't help but look at the two of them carefully, and asked curiously, "Who are you looking for?"
"Grandma, hello, I'm your next-door neighbor. Zhou Xun smiled sweetly.
The old lady smiled kindly and said to herself, "The next-door neighbor, there has been no one living in it for a long time. ”
"Grandma, it's been a long time since anyone lived, I'm the daughter of that family, I just came back today, I just came here to see you. The corners of Zhou Xun's mouth rose slightly.
"Yes, Grandma, we have no ill intentions, we just came to see you. Chen Ting looked at the old lady with a smile.
"Oh, I know, this house is for an old woman, so you can come in and sit down. The old lady smiled, and she opened it and motioned for them to come in.
But she was curious in her heart, the daughter next door didn't have polio since she was a child and couldn't walk, why was this one in front of her
"Okay. Zhou Xun and Chen Ting said in unison.
The two followed the old lady into the house.
Chen Ting put the gift on the table and said with a smile: "Grandma, these are a little bit of our hearts, I hope you accept them." ”
"You're so polite. The old lady smiled kindly and said politely.
"A little heart, Grandma, you can take it. Zhou Xun smiled slightly.
"Thank you then. The old lady smiled and nodded.
Zhou Xun looked at the room and asked curiously, "Grandma, do you live here alone now?"
"Yes, I live here alone now. The old lady nodded.
"Grandma, may I ask where the boy from your house went before, and how is he now?" Zhou Xun was full of curiosity.
"What boy?" asked the old lady, puzzled.
"It's the little boy who practiced reciting at your house every night until late at night more than ten years ago, I don't know what his name is, can you tell me?" Zhou Xun's eyes flashed wide, and his eyes were full of curiosity.
The old lady fell into deep thought.
"Grandma, think about it, it's the boy who stutters, who recites at your house every night, don't you know?"
Chen Ting looked at his grandmother's reaction and was also curious: This shouldn't be! How could he not even remember the situation of his family?
"Oh, I remember. The old lady was surprised.
"Grandma, then tell me about it. Zhou Xun asked impatiently.
The old lady smiled and told the truth: "You misunderstood, in fact, there is no little boy at all, and the recitation is played on the tape recorder every night. ”
"Grandma, what's going on with that tape recorder playback? I don't understand......" Zhou Xun was puzzled, this was what his mother told him personally, how could it be wrong?
"Grandma, are you mistaken, think about it again. Chen Ting stepped forward and asked with a smile.
"Although the old woman is old, her memory is very good, and she can't remember it. The old lady waved her hand, she pointed at Zhou Xun and said, "You have polio from the family next door, right?"
Zhou Xun nodded and said, "Grandma, yes." ”
"Your mother asked me to do all this, she asked me to turn on the tape recorder every night and not turn it off until 11 o'clock at night, your mother is really ......" Grandma said earnestly, and she stopped talking.
At this moment, Zhou Xun finally understood.
There is no such thing as a little boy at all......
It turned out that everything was the mother's good intentions.
Tears filled her eyes again, and she threw herself into Chen Ting's arms and cried loudly.
