The typhoon in '97 just ravaged the coastal town.

The two sisters, Lin Xiao and Lin Jie, did not go back to the village with their parents to celebrate their grandmother's birthday because the make-up class was about to start, and it was always more important to study.

Lin Jie woke up first, she opened the door and looked, and involuntarily found an exclamation, "Oh-"

Hurriedly went to push Lin Xiao, who was still asleep, "Ah Xiao, get up, get up-"

Lin Xiao was woken up, lazy, she didn't mean to get up at all, so she curled up there like a caterpillar, the spring bed under her had been revolutionizing for too long, and there was no elasticity, she slept on the outside of the bed, and she could reach the center of the bed smoothly and sink in.

Lin Jie couldn't wake her up, so she simply pinched her nose-

With this pinch of his nose, Lin Xiao woke up.

She made a foolish face, "Sister, what are you doing waking me up so early?" ”

"Wasn't it a typhoon last night?" Lin Jie pointed to the door, with a look of surprise, "The walls outside have fallen, we didn't hear it last night-"

The wall is down?

Lin Xiao didn't react for a while, her head was all mushy, when she was dragged up by Lin Jie, she didn't have time to wear shoes on her feet, she was lying on her stomach, just leaning against the door, her eyes just touched the scene outside, she didn't calm down, as if she had been ravaged by something, and the outside felt completely different-

In the early years, when she was still in junior high school, she remembered a typhoon that seemed to be unusually big, and the dilapidated embankment by the sea could not stop the tide at all, and the sea water was backing up, and the water stored in the heavy rain did not enter and exit the sea, and the whole town was hit by water.

It was the summer of '97.

It was the summer of '97.

She has just been promoted from the second year of junior high school to the third year of junior high school, and the third year of junior high school will be divided into key classes, and today is just the day when I went to the school to see the class, and I began to make up classes after determining which class I was assigned to, and the third year of junior high school is normal.

It's just that her face is stiff, as if she has seen some ghost.

Regardless of whether he had shoes on his feet or not, he ran out of the door, looked at the collapsed wall in front of him, and remembered that outside the brick wall was the place where the grain management office used to be, and the grain management office filled in the vacant land to prepare for the re-construction of the warehouse, and I don't know why it has not been built, and the large place has been empty. It is estimated that he will not live long.

She looked next door, next door row of buildings, in addition to the owner of the building, many are tenants, the most conspicuous is blocked at the corner of the building at the entrance of a few large tanks, those large tanks, are the next door Wenzhou people pickled fish tools, take back the fish, cut the fish body from the back of the fish, remove the internal organs, put salt and pickle, and wait for the pickling to be almost, and then dry.

She listened to Wenzhou dialect that she still couldn't understand in a daze, even if she couldn't understand a word, she still felt so kind.

The path outside is not a concrete road, but paved with small stones.

"Sister?"

She looked back at her sister.

Lin Jie exhaled, returned to the room, and turned on the 14-inch black-and-white TV of the West Lake brand, "Do you want to go to school?" ”

"I definitely want to go," Lin Xiao didn't hesitate at all, but his eyes were stained with doubts, "Of course I want to go, today we are going to talk about re-assigning classes." ”

"Class?" Lin Jie showed a surprised look, "Why haven't I heard you say it before?" ”

"Then I need to say, I must be assigned to the key class." Lin Xiao was extremely confident, like a balloon full of gas, walked to the stove, looked at the cold rice in the rice cooker, and poured all the cold rice into the pot above the gas stove with his hands and feet, put some water in it, and covered the pot before looking back at her sister, "Sister, don't you want to divide the arts and science classes, do you plan to study literature or science?" ”

"Let's study liberal arts—" Lin Jie replied nonchalantly.

Lin Xiao took off the nightdress on his body, changed into denim shorts printed with big flowers, and wore a short-sleeved top, he was black, and he couldn't find any white spots all over his body, but he was full of energy, "Why don't you study science, it's better to study science, and the score line of the college entrance examination will be low in the future, and the score line of liberal arts will rise every year." ”

"Hey, where did you hear it, what are you," Lin Jie didn't listen to her words, and didn't take it seriously, "Liberal arts are simpler, and science is tiring." ”

"Where is it easier?" Lin Xiao brushed his teeth and said, "It's all the same, you are not better at science, why do you want to study liberal arts?" ”

Lin Jie hesitated for a moment, "It's not much better." ”

But the tone is not as firm as the first, and it seems to have loosened a little.

For this reason, Lin Xiao was a little complacent.

"You two sisters weren't scared last night, were you?" The landlord's wife, wearing a loose long skirt and slippers, came over and asked, pointing her hand outside, "Last night, the water was almost flush with here, and the big vat next door brought the water out." ”

Water flush with the ground?

"It's okay, we fell asleep last night and didn't hear any movement." Lin Jie looked down and looked at the ground, the foundation of this house was quite high, almost more than a meter away from the road, it could be flush, and he could probably imagine how high the water was last night, and he couldn't help but feel afraid, "Ah Xiao, I don't know how my grandmother's house is?" ”

The landlady's wife walked back, still muttering, "These sisters have really big hearts, and they sleep so well." ”

Lin Xiao faintly remembered the events of the year, oh, no, it's now, they don't have a phone at home, and their grandmother's house doesn't have a phone, mainly because the village is on the island, and there is no phone at all, and the mobile phone is still the big brother at the beginning, and ordinary people can't afford to use it-

"It must be fine," she said, but she knew that at that time, because the sea pond dam in the village was not a standard pond dam, the pond dam was all down, and the sea water was surging, fortunately, the village organized a retreat quickly, and only lost the fields, and did not cause personnel losses, "Grandma's birthday, how could there be something!" ”

"Yes." Lin Jie returned to the room and turned the TV station, there were only three channels, one set, two sets and the provincial satellite TV station, and the local station had no signal, "The meal is ready, you eat quickly." ”

Lin Xiao answered.

She was still a little unsure, and after breakfast, she wore a sandal-slip bought for fifteen yuan and walked on the road that was covered by water, she finally had a little sense of reality, this road is not a cement road, or a dirt road, the water has not all faded, she is almost wading in the water, the primary school has not yet opened, she can't go directly to the junior high school through the elementary school, so she simply took a long detour, almost all the way is water.

The water was still there, the surface looked a little clean, it didn't seem to be dirty, those were flat places, the garbage brought by the water was blocked in the corners, and now there was no smell, she thought that if the sun came out soon, the bad smell would come out.

Lin Xiao barely remembered when she was young, even if she had already understood that she was back in her youth, she still didn't have a sense of reality, and when her feet stepped into the water that was still a little cool, she really understood that she was indeed back to her youth, when she was just about to enter the third year of junior high school.

When she was a girl, she was disgusted.

If there is anything that is a stain on her life, she must put two things in front of her, the first thing is that she was not admitted to a key high school, and the second thing is her home, an honest and hard-working mother, a father who is always dizzy, and the family is so poor that she even has no money to buy rice for a while.

She stood motionless in the water, like a clay bodhisattva, the concrete path was at her feet, and she could get rid of it with just one step.

"Lin School—"

She was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes and looked over, her young and energetic face met her eyes, her thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a name suddenly poured into her head - Lin Yanfang.

Lin Yanfang has thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking a little heroic, with long hair, particularly thick hair, braided into a braid, the braid is extremely fine, and it hangs down almost around the waist.

She was suddenly a little excited, and hurriedly walked out of the water and stepped onto the concrete road, "Why are you going this way and not going to school?" ”

Lin Yanfang didn't notice her different excitement from usual, she was still holding a brightly colored umbrella in her hand, wearing rain boots with simple colors on her feet, sticking out her tongue/head, "Go back quickly, I met Li Chunyang, he said that the teacher said, you don't have to go to school today, you can go back too." ”

"Really?" Lin Xiao seemed to be a little incredulous, "You really don't have to go?" ”

"Of course you don't have to." Lin Yanfang grabbed her arm and patted her chest with her hand, "The wind last night was terrifying, I almost didn't dare to sleep all night, my sister squeezed my bed to sleep, both of them were afraid, and then they all went to my parents' room, what about you?" ”

"I slept with my sister until dawn, and when I woke up in the morning, I realized that the typhoon was so big," Lin Xiao had a scared expression, "Fortunately, we didn't hear it, otherwise my sister and I would definitely be scared to death." ”

"Hahaha-" Lin Yanfang laughed, but soon, she laughed again, with a distressed look on her face, "Lin School, you will definitely be able to enter the key class, I will definitely not be able to enter, only a total score of 400, I only scored 300 points, it is estimated that there is no hope, and then we will be separated." ”

As soon as Lin Yanfang said this, memories flooded into Lin Xiao's head like a flood that opened the floodgates.

Suddenly, she remembered a lot of things.

It's a class, she has entered the key class, and Lin Yanfang is still in the original class.

When she was in high school, Lin Yanfang's score line did not pass the score line of the second middle school, and their family paid tens of thousands of dollars to buy a place to study, while she went to an ordinary high school in the county, and dropped out of school after less than a year because her family had no money.

"I just don't know how many points are stopped," Lin Xiao said, in fact, she knew, if she stopped at 320 points, anyone who passed 320 points could enter two key classes, "Don't worry, isn't this not unannounced?" ”

Lin Yanfang immediately laughed again, "Well, that's right, it hasn't come out yet, anyway, if there's no play, there's no play." ”

However, she looked down at Lin Xiao's sandals, "This water is dirty, why don't you wear rain boots?" ”

"I came out too quickly, I was afraid that it would be too late, so I came out directly, how did I know that the water outside here was so high." Lin Xiao tried to prevaricate, but he didn't want to say that he didn't have rain boots at all, "When I go home, I not only have to wash, but also disinfect." ”

"Well, disinfect well." Lin Yanfang took her arm and walked.
