Chapter 12: A Letter from My Father

"Are you the new Liu Ye? There is a letter from you in the window of the communication room. "During the morning recess exercise, a boy who hurriedly ran past Liu Ye's side suddenly stopped and said to her.www.biquge.info Liu Ye looked at the boy, his oval face, long eyelashes, big flickering eyes, and tall man, why was he so familiar? By the way, why does he look so much like Wang Liang? The boy smiled at her in a friendly manner, and she blushed in embarrassment.

Who will write to him? I have just entered the school, and the people in my hometown don't know my mailing address yet!

When she arrived at the door of the communication room, she timidly looked in and saw an old man with gray hair wearing aging glasses sitting on a wooden chair reading a newspaper. When the old man saw someone coming, he raised his head vigilantly and asked her if something was wrong? Liu Ye whispered, my letter. Oh, you're new here, the window, he's Nunu. Only then did Liu Ye see that there was a three-layer wooden frame on the glass windowsill, and each layer was divided into three small rectangular squares, in which letters and newspapers were inserted. She saw the words of the junior high school class written with a brush on the first grid on the left side of the top floor, so she panicked to get the letter, because she was too nervous, and stepped on the feet of another little girl in the lower grade who was picking up the newspaper. The girl frowned and sighed, she was so frightened that she said sorry repeatedly. The girl heard her accent, gave her a strange look, and walked away.

She looked down at the envelope, it turned out to be sent from Shanghai, who could it be? Just when she was puzzled, she suddenly saw the boy who had just notified her of the letter, hurriedly walking to the classroom of his class, before entering the classroom, he also deliberately looked at Liu Ye's side, maybe to make sure that Liu Ye had not received the letter. He turned out to be his classmate, why didn't he notice him all this time?

On the way home from school, Liu Ye opened the letter and read it carefully:

Dear Daughter,

Hello! First of all, congratulations on your admission to Z City Key High School with the first place. Daughter, it will take half a month for Dad to come to Shanghai on a business trip, and during this time you will have to ride your own bicycle to school. You're not skilled in cycling, so try to walk earlier every day and ride at a slower pace to be safe.

Daughter, you are the hope of your parents, the pearl of our palms, and your parents love you. Daughter, you know what? When you came to Z City and returned to our house, my colleagues and friends were surprised how I could have such a big girl, and they even suspected that you were not born to me and your mother. Hearing such jokes and discussions, my heart suddenly felt guilty, and I felt that your mother and I had not fulfilled our responsibilities as parents to you.

Daughter, when you were more than two years old, not long after your eldest brother Liu Ming was born, your mother and I were transferred from D town to Z city due to work. We want to take all three of our children with us, but your grandfather and grandmother are in tears, and they don't want your brother and you to leave them. I understand the thoughts of the two old men, they have been your mother and a daughter all their lives, and they have devoted all their love to you and your brother. You two are the spiritual pillar and the source of joy in their old age!

Daughter, dad is respectful and filial to your grandfather and grandmother, in order to respect the two old people, I also let your brothers and sisters call them "grandpa" and "grandma", I do this because I really hope that the two old people will be comforted in their old age!

When your brother was 12 years old, we took him back, and this year he was admitted to university. Now that you're fourteen years old, your mother and I have decided to take you back for the sake of your future and future. Of course, changes in your living environment may make you uncomfortable, so I hope you can adapt slowly. I also hope that you will follow the example of your brother, study hard, and repay your grandfather and grandmother for their nurturing grace with excellent results.

Also, when you registered for school this time, Dad took it upon himself to change the name "Liumei" for you, I hope you can like it!

wish

Learn and progress!

Love your father dearly

September 10, 1982

Liu Ye read the letter numbly, she couldn't understand her father's words full of feelings, and she didn't want to understand, she tore the letter up in two clicks, and let the flying confetti drift in the wind.

Jingle bells, a string of pleasant bicycle bells rang, and it was the male classmate again, he flashed his big eyes and looked at her with concern, stopped talking, and then silently walked forward. Liu Ye noticed his brown cheeks again, and his big eyes with extremely double eyelids, how much he looked like Wang Liang!

Ever since the "pumpkin-faced" classmate shouted "press belly" in front of her, Liu Ye began to dislike Wang Liang in his heart. I also hated Aunt Wang and my grandfather for the cement platform in the backyard of their garment factory!

After five-year-old Liu Ye and six-year-old Wang Liang were tired from running around the yard, they lay on the cement platform on all fours to rest. Sometimes he stretches his arms, kicks his legs, and rolls a few times. Chirp and rejoice like a sparrow.

One day when he was tired of playing, Wang Liang lay on his back on the platform and started to play. His little belly puffed up into a round balloon with a rhythmic deep breath, and then deflated into a shallow pot bottom. "Ah Ye, press my stomach quickly."

"Is there anything fun?" Liu Ye wiped his snot with his hand, and then mischievously put the back of his hand on Wang Liang's belly to wipe it.

Wang Liang grabbed her hand, "You want to use my belly as a handkerchief!" ”

Liu Ye's little hands rose and fell with Wang Liang's belly, as if he was thrown up and down by an adult. She grinned with her two missing front teeth.

After this time, they will do this game occasionally. I don't know how "Pumpkin Face" would know.
