08. Captain
It is said that a woman is a strange animal who lifts you to the sky in good times and slams you to the ground in bad times. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info mom is such a typical character, when you are not around, she thinks about you all day long, nags you, and is always not afraid of expensive phone calls every once in a while, and when you are really missed tightly, when you come home angry, everything is different.
At eleven o'clock in the morning that day, Su Hui's door was about to be broken by her mother.
"Huihui, are you up, it's almost afternoon."
Afternoon! It's just ten o'clock, Mom.
On the fifth day of returning home, my mother's true form was revealed, and she turned back into the teacher who couldn't see anyone in bed.
On the day Su Hui came home, her mother made her a bowl of noodles, Su Hui digested it for a while after eating, and said that she was tired and wanted to rest, her father lovingly brought her a thick quilt, and her mother gently and full of maternal love turned off the lights and closed the door for Su Hui. Su Hui got up early the next morning, standing on the balcony to breathe fresh air, Su's mother used to get up early, because she had to go to the market to buy vegetables, when she saw Su Hui who got up early in the morning, she said with some distress: "Why don't you sleep more." ”
Su Hui turned her head, smiled at her mother slightly, and said, "I can't sleep." "I've had insomnia for a long time.
Su's mother beckoned Su Hui to go to the morning market together, Su Hui tilted her head and thought about it and refused, so her mother asked her to go to sleep for a while, wash herself and go to the morning market.
On the third day, Su Hui got up late, stayed at home and never went out for half a step, stood on the balcony in the morning, stayed on the sofa at noon to watch a movie, and stayed in the room after lunch and refused to come out.
When Su's mother went to knock on the door, she sat on the bay window in a daze. Calling her out to eat fruit, she was stunned for a long time before replying, "Don't eat it." At dinner, Su's father knocked on the door, pushed open the door and saw Su Hui covering her head and hiding her face on the bed, and shouted for a long time before a leisurely sentence came from under the quilt: "Got it." ”
Today, the fifth day, Su Hui has been nested in bed, Su's mother saw that she had been out of the door for the past few days, and was worried that she was stuffy, so she came to knock on the door early in the morning.
At eight o'clock in the morning, my father knocked on the door and asked Su Hui to go to the park together, and Su Hui said, "Sleepy, don't go." ”
At half past nine, my mother knocked on the door and asked Su Hui to get up and go to her grandmother's house to sit, Su Hui said, "I'll go again after the New Year, and I will be with my brother." ”
At ten o'clock, high school classmates called to say that they came out to get together, and Su's mother answered the phone. She thinks Su Hui is weird, and after she comes back, she is weird, since she went out to college, she is depressed every time she goes home, and she doesn't go out after she comes back, and she doesn't look for Liao Yanyan to play with a few people, and stays at home all day.
So she agreed to the party on the phone for Su Hui, and after hanging up the phone, Su's mother kept urging Su Hui to get up.
"Huihui, hurry up, Yan Yan just called and asked you to go to a party in the afternoon, my mother promised you, you hurry up and scrub and scrub and hurry up." Su's mother stood beside Su Hui's bed and spoke bitterly.
Su Hui covered her head and said sullenly: "Don't go." ”
"Why don't you go, what's wrong with you these days, as soon as you come back, you stay at home, you don't go out of the door, you tell your mother, what's going on." Su's mother listened to Su Hui's refusal to say no, and combined with her situation in the past few days, she guessed, "Are things not going well in your relationship, are you quarreling with your boyfriend?"
"No," Su Hui turned over, the quilt was covered more tightly, and the muffled voice was not very clear, Su's mother was worried about her daughter, so she asked softly: "What's wrong with you?" Talk to your mom. ”
Su Hui lifted the quilt and turned sideways to face the window, Su's mother couldn't see her expression, she said clearly: "I don't have anything to do emotionally, it's all fine, don't worry about it." ”
"Nothing?" Su's mother couldn't bear to ask again.
"Really, I'll find a time to bring him back after the New Year." Su Hui's voice could not be heard with joy or anger.
Mother Su sighed silently, "Get up, go and meet with Yan Yan and them, chat, you don't come back often, and you don't come back to meet them when you come back, it's worth cherishing after so many years." With that, he went out of the room and closed the door.
After her mother closed the door, Su Hui had been lying on her side, opening her eyes and staring blankly at the wall. After a long time, she lay on her side on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
Su Hui tossed in the room for half an hour before she came out to brush her teeth and wash her face, and Su's mother didn't urge her, she knew that Su Hui would go.
Su Hui changed her clothes and put on light makeup, and she was in a lot of energy.
At this time, Su's mother made lunch, and Su's father put the soup on the table and beckoned Su Hui to come over to eat.

Several high school classmates made an appointment to meet at a teahouse, and when Su Hui arrived, several people had already come, most of whom she and Liao Yanyan knew together.
The organizers of this party are Liao Yanyan and another girl, and the main purpose of coming to everyone is to inform one thing.
She, Liao Yanyan is getting married.
As soon as Su Hui entered the teahouse, she heard laughter and slapsticks.
Cai Junxin sat on the edge of the corridor, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Su Hui, who was searching for them when he entered the door, and he waved at Su Hui, "This way, Su Hui." ”
Su Hui responded and walked over with a smile.
"Why did you come here?" Liao Yanyan waited for Su Hui to get closer before complaining, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
"Move to the side, we Su Hui have to sit next to me." Liao Yanyan smiled and asked the person next to him to move his position, vacated a small seat, took Su Hui's hand and said, "Sit next to me." ”
"You haven't been back in years." Cai Junxin asked with a smile, the edges and corners on his face were clear, and his immature face in high school was now slightly revealing the vicissitudes of life.
Su Hui looked at his face, nodded and said, "It's been a few years." ”
Liao Yanyan said: "It's been ten years, and it's been ten years since we graduated from high school, and the number of times you have come back is only a handful, and you don't come to the party every time you come back." ”
"It's so fast, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."
"Yes, it's been ten years, it's been a long time, you know that it's really changed a lot in the past ten years," a woman next to Cai Junxin sighed excitedly, "Among our high school classmates, none of the people who have married and had children in the past ten years are almost single, and there are divorced, and our class president is divorced, but I am not in the same class as you." ”
The topic was set off, so everyone talked about it from high school to their respective universities, and then from employment to marriage and children.
Su Hui smiled the whole time and looked at them and laughed. I took a sip of the tea, it was Biluochun, and the faint fragrance lingered in my mouth. Su Hui raised her head and happened to come into contact with Cai Junxin's gaze.
What kind of eyes is that?
Helpless, worried?
Su Hui put down the teacup and looked at Cai Junxin, "What are you doing now?" ”
Cai Junxin didn't expect Su Hui to ask him, it turned out that he just remembered the events of the previous two days, so he glanced at Su Hui more, who knew that he was discovered.
"Where do you work?" Su Hui asked again, smiling slightly. She thought Cai Junxin hadn't heard.
"Be a teacher," Cai Junxin smiled awkwardly, touched the back of his head and said, "Be a physical education teacher in high school." ”
The habit of touching the back of the head has not changed.
Su Hui asked again, "In which school?" ”
"Our school, the high school alma mater."
"It's incredible that you're a teacher, and you're still a teacher in our school." Su Hui was very surprised, she still remembered how much Cai Junxin hated teachers in high school, but she didn't expect to become a teacher now.
It's unpredictable.
Cai Junxin still grinned when he heard Su Hui say this, his eyes were crooked, and he was a little ruffian.
I don't know if it's because of being a physical education teacher or something else, he still retains his original vitality, Su Hui looked at Cai Junxin's still tanned face, and was in a trance for a while, always feeling that he would be brought back to high school with his smiling face.
After the noise, everyone slowly calmed down and chatted over tea.
Su Hui didn't continue to chat with Cai Junxin, just smiled slightly, and then pinched the teacup and drank tea, while Cai Junxin didn't say anything, laughing and joking with the people around him.
Liao Yanyan turned his head to look at Su Hui, pinched the teacup and said, "Are you here for the party on the third day of the Lunar New Year?" ”
The party on the third day of the Lunar New Year is a class reunion held by some of Liao Yanyan's common playmates, and Su Hui has participated in the third day of the Lunar New Year every year, but Su Hui has not come back in the past few years, so she has not participated in the primary school reunion.
After thinking about it, Su Hui looked at Liao Yanyan and asked, "Can you not come?" ”
"No," Liao Yanyan vetoed, "The squad leader married his wife last year, you didn't come to participate, but I was caught and interrogated by him, he gave birth to a son this year, you have to go if you say anything." ”
"Besides," Liao Yanyan glanced at Su Hui with a smile, "Back then, the class leader liked you from the first grade of primary school to the fifth grade. ”
Su Hui continued, "Then the sixth grade likes to be a member of the disciplinary committee. ”
Liao Yanyan smiled, squinted and asked, "Are you going or not?" ”
"Go, how can I say that the squad leader also once admired me," Su Hui also looked at Liao Yanyan with a smile.
"Then you can come to the high school party on the fifth day of junior high school, and it just so happens that the social celebration is also scheduled for that day." Liao Yanyan pretended to be casual and said, "Don't worry, the captain didn't come back." ”
Su Hui looked at Liao Yanyan with straight eyes, but Liao Yanyan didn't look at her and talked to the people around her.
Su Hui reached out to take the teacup, and met Cai Junxin's gaze again, she frowned slightly and ignored it.
I drank several pots of tea, and the words were pretty much the same. Everyone discussed the transition and changed places to play.
Some people said to go to dinner, but they were rebuffed. The stomach full of water after drinking tea is dead, how can I still eat.
Some say go singing.
Liao Yanyan said: "I have all planned, we will go to dinner together in the evening, and then go to sing." ”
"So what's going on now?"
"Let's go shopping."
"Why don't you go to your alma mater or take a walk around." Someone suggested.
"Hey, that's a good idea."
"Let's go, then."
So the group drove turtle cars and motorcycles to the high school in a hurry.
In winter, the campus is empty, empty school lanes, bare branches, and silent classrooms. Su Hui followed behind the crowd and walked silently.
Liao Yanyan said: "I really didn't expect the doorman to let us in." ”
A boy said: "Nonsense, this is our alma mater, three years of youth have been spent here, can you not let us come in to remember." ”
Someone in the crowd was laughing, "Ah, why hasn't this tree grown taller yet, it's still so short, I've changed from a big girl to a little mother, this tree is still like this, like a child." ”
Cai Junxin said: "Go to the classroom and have a look. ”
Climbing up the long staircase and coming to the tree-lined path, Liao Yanyan shouted in front, "I'll have to go to the basketball court later, I spent three years of basketball club life there." After speaking, he glanced at Su Hui.
Su Hui looked away expressionlessly and looked at the tree.
The group walked on the tree-lined path, chatting about the high school of the year, Su Hui has been silently following behind, thinking about some things, and when she comes to a familiar place, she will inevitably touch the scene and hurt, not to mention the school where her first love and friendship were buried.
Walking to the railing near the basketball court, the cold wind was blowing, Su Hui wore few clothes when she went out, forgot to wear a down jacket, and stood on the edge of the railing shivering.
There is someone playing on the basketball court below, and it looks like a student in the school.
Su Hui stayed away from the crowd and stood alone by the more remote and quiet railing, looking at the teenager playing ball below.
Suddenly, someone behind her called out to her, "Su Hui." It's a question sentence and an exclamation sentence.
The voice was somewhat familiar, and Su Hui reflexively turned around slowly.
It's not that I haven't thought about the situation of goodbye, it's not that I haven't fantasized about the conversation after goodbye. Once in sleepless nights, Su Hui occasionally remembered the way the boy walked towards him with a ball, his smile and posture, the proud expression of the boy when he dunked, and the boy's life in college.
It's not that I haven't thought about goodbye, whether I want to smile and say a long time no see, or indifferently wait for the other party to speak first.
It's not that I haven't thought about it.
The scene that had been presented countless times in the night and in the dream finally happened, Su Hui just whispered lightly: "Captain? ”
