Chapter 20: Liu Xia
Wang Liang ranked first in the commune in the entrance examination and Liu Ye were assigned to the first class of the middle school of Commune D. And Pumpkin Face finally had to repeat the grade because of his poor grades. Although Liu Ye felt sorry for the pumpkin face, he felt a sense of joy and relief in his heart.
After entering junior high school, Liu Ye returned to the habit of studying casually. But she also found out that she was a math genius, and she was the first in the class in math in every exam, but her Chinese grades were mediocre. Due to the new exposure to English, I did not master the methods and skills of learning, and I did not memorize words carefully, so I failed every exam. Due to the drag of her English scores, she always had to stay in the ranks of more than 20 in the mid-term and final exam rankings.
The ignorant Liu Ye enjoys life carefree every day, and he doesn't take his achievements to heart at all.
Every morning, when she is still asleep, she is always awakened by a crisp and pleasant soprano.
"Liu Ye, get up and early!" Liu Xia, who was two years older than her, stood in the cold morning light and knocked vigorously on the wooden window of Liu Ye's house. Liu Ye sat up in a panic and looked at his watch, it was ten past six. She got dressed in a panic, and at this time Liu Xia outside the window was already gone. Liu Ye has a problem with sleeping lazy, and she has just entered junior high school and faces the morning reading at half past six every day, she is really not used to it. Went late several times. I was once punished by the homeroom teacher for standing outside the classroom. Liu Xia, who was in the second year of junior high school that day, happened to pass by their class and saw Liu Ye standing by the wall with her head bowed, and walked over curiously. When Liu Ye saw her, his face turned red all of a sudden. I also begged her not to tell my grandmother!
"Ah Ye, look at what you said, I won't sue you! I'm going to the sports office to get the equipment. ”
"Tsk, you are a member of the sports committee, I didn't expect it, you make me so envious!"
"It's nothing, I just want to run faster!"
"Ah Ye, I'll call you to get up in the morning, anyway, I'm going to pass by your house!" Liu Xia's big eyes flickered under her dark eyebrows, like shining stars in the night. Because of her very white skin, the fluff on her lips is clearly visible, giving her lips a faint black halo that makes you mistakenly think that she has a mustache. This makes it easy for you to remember her features.
"It's too much! Thank you! Looking at the simple and sincere expression on Liu Xia's face, Liu Ye felt a burst of excitement in his heart.
Liu Xia was dressed in a rose-red sweatshirt, echoing the morning glow on the horizon, making Liu Ye remember that although this morning was embarrassing, it was very warm.
Since then, Liu Xia's rain or shine, silver bell-like voice will always wake up Liu Ye's good mood for a day in her sleep, "Liu Xia is really a friend!" She gave her a thumbs up.
Liu Xia still remembered another time, that is, two years ago, on the eve of Liu Xia's graduation from elementary school, it was at noon after school.
When the bell rang for the end of school, Liu Ye rushed out of the classroom like a cheerful bird. Due to her fast running, she also bumped into the head teacher. Because of the suffocation of his mouth and sunken cheeks, the head teacher seemed to be stirring with the sound of the wind in his mouth when he spoke, making his words have a thick nasal sound. "Liu Ye, slow down, don't fall, Huo Lai, your grandmother should be worried again!" It seems that my grandmother's love for her is a household name. I was in a hurry just now, why use "household name" to form a sentence. This time it was solved. Haha, the "easy solution" will also be made. Liu Ye will be really excited!
"Liu Ye, why are you so panicked?" Liu Xia, who was waiting at the gate, stopped her.
Liu Xia combed Han Ying's short ear-length hair in "Honghu Red Guards", and the oblique bangs were casually pinned with a black card.
She mysteriously pulled Liu Ye to the side of the road, carefully took out a pocket-sized folding fan with a classical beauty pattern from her schoolbag, and handed it to Liu Ye. Liu Ye looked at her in surprise, "Give it to me, really?"
"Ah Ye, we will graduate from elementary school soon, let's keep it as a souvenir!"
Liu Ye lovingly put the fan into his schoolbag, and a feeling of parting rose in his heart. "Then we will have less time to meet in the future." Liu Ye said with a sad face.
"yes, we won't be able to meet after class like we are now."
"But there's still Sunday," Liu Ye suddenly remembered something, "By the way, we can play together on Sunday!" ”
"Fight yes, fight yes, we can still meet on Sunday. Besides, a year later, we can meet again on the junior high school campus! ”
After lunch, Liu Ye asked his grandmother for a few dimes, and went to the cooperative to carefully pick out a hard-shell notebook.
At the end of the first class, she found Liu Xia from the next class, and they came to the back wall of the classroom together. She solemnly gave the notebook to Liu Xia. Liu Xia saw the two blooming lilies on the cover of the notebook, and asked curiously, "Ah Ye, you are young, and you also know that lilies represent friendship?" ”
"My grandmother sued me." Liu Ye said with a smile.
She took out something wrapped in layers of homework paper from her schoolbag in a panic and handed it to Liu Xia.
"Bring me meat again!" Liu Xia unceremoniously opened the paper and ate it with great taste.
"Well, Ah Ye, the red stewed pork made by your grandmother is really aggressive (eat). It's a pity that it will be difficult to fight in the future. ”
"It's okay, Ah Xia, you can go to my house on Sunday!"
The bell of class cut off this short time together, but the good memories fixed it in each other's hearts forever.
During that time, Liu Ye successively received small handkerchiefs, notebooks, picture books, bows, craft baskets, etc. from other friends. She also gave gifts back to her friends one by one. Seeing her dazzling array of gifts, she suddenly realized that she was also popular. During that time, she felt the happiness that friendship brought to her from the bottom of her heart.
After the morning reading, Liu Ye ran home quickly, turned on the coal stove, and sat on the coal stove for a night The kettle soon squeaked pleasantly, and soon the white water vapor lifted the lid of the kettle.
After Liu Ye filled the thermos with water, he hurriedly went to the street to buy breakfast. She likes to buy fried fritters that are charred and crispy and the crispy yellow shells that are stained with sesame seeds. Sometimes she will buy a few thousand sheets, and the fried dough sticks with bean skin rolls are a taste that she never gets tired of eating.
She put the fire, fritters, and bean skin in a porcelain basin, and then filled two cups of strong tea and brought them to the wooden square stool at the bedside of her grandfather and grandmother. Oh, in Liu Ye's memory, his grandfather and grandmother lived in their own houses (bedrooms), and they didn't seem to have slept together. The young Liu Ye thought that this was all normal.
Liu Ye returned to the hall, picked up the broom, lifted the chicken cover in the corner of the house, and a bad smell of rushed her nose tightly, she hesitated for a moment, and turned back to the kitchen to shovel the slag. At this time, the crowing of the rooster, the clucking of the hen showing off her want to lay eggs, and the sound of Liu Ye happily humming the movie interlude and the sound of her grandfather and grandmother coughing when they heard it, played a small chorus of the early morning home.
Liu Ye stepped on the slag with his feet and put it on the, and the slag stained the with the broom, and the place where the broom passed was clean.
When she was about to go to school after breakfast, her grandparents also got up one after another. Liu Ye felt that the beginning of a new day was so beautiful and pleasant.
