091 Growing up is a long goodbye
Tu Ran likes Ma Xiaolong, Tan Xi can see it. After Ma Xiaolong entered www.biquge.info third year of junior high school, she would always pull herself to stand in the corridor and watch the playground. Tan Xi knew that Tu Ran was not looking at the playground, she was looking for Ma Xiaolong's figure.
Every day, when the four of them came home together, it was as if everyone was still like when they were children. But Tan Xi obviously felt that something was quietly changing. For example, Tu Ran, her eyes always chase Ma Xiaolong, and Ma Xiaolong will take special care of Tu Ran. Tan Xi tried his best to convince himself that Ma Xiaolong took care of Tu Ran more because Tu Ran was the youngest. But what is clear is that things are not like that at all.
When did things start to change? After Tu Ran learned to paint? Or since junior high school? When did the relationship between the two of them grow by leaps and bounds? Tan Xi couldn't say clearly. All she knew was that her best friend was in love with the same boy as herself, and that boy seemed to have a little bit of interest to her best friend.
Tan Xi was very lost, but that loss was only limited to his own heart. She didn't want to make everyone feel embarrassed. After all, it's better for one person to be uncomfortable than for three.
When Tan Xi returned home, he unexpectedly saw his uncle. My uncle works at the police station, and he is usually very busy going to the mountains and going to the countryside, and he only has time to come back every weekend. Unexpectedly, my uncle came back today. This is something that has never happened before. If Tan Xi remembers correctly, it's only Tuesday today.
In the evening, Tan Xi knew why his uncle came back. He is about to be transferred to the county seat, and now he is given half a month's leave. The appointment is already on its way. After a while, the family moved to Kitahara. After Tan Xi had a summer vacation, he transferred to Beiyuan County to continue his second year of junior high school.
The uncle announced the good news to Tan Xi and his aunt at the dinner table. When he heard the news, Tan Xi's head was stunned all of a sudden. Is it so sudden? She's not ready. Although his uncle had revealed the news of his possible transfer a few days earlier, Tan Xi did not expect that this day would come so soon. She was a little at a loss. Fear of the future and reluctance to give up on the old land surrounded her at once.
For several days, Tan Xi was a little distracted. Tu Ran asked her, and she walked over. One day in physical education class, Tan Xi sneaked out of the school gate with Tu Ran and came to the river under the bridge. Thick grass grows along the river. When I was in elementary school, two people would sneak here to pick up duck eggs. On the banks of the river there is a large field of rape. In the spring, the rape flowers bloom and look like a big golden blanket from afar. At that time, the two of them also came here secretly, lying next to the rape flowers and watching the sky and clouds. At this moment, the rape flowers have long since disappeared, and the thick poles are covered with rape pods of Aomori Forest. The whole rape field looks like a majestic soldier on the battlefield, wielding a halberd with a bronze-like fighting spirit.
The two of them sat down on the soft grass, their noses filled with the fresh aroma of grass and trees. The rape had grown so tall that when they sat down, they were all overwhelmed. No one could see them, except the people who were toiling on the mountains on the other side.
Sometimes they come here just because they want to lie down quietly, not to say anything special. Sometimes, I choose this place because I am in a bad mood and want to find a secluded place to pour bitter water on each other.
This time, Tu Ran didn't know which situation it was. So, she didn't speak first. She sat there quietly, pulling the grass and watching the wind blow the river.
"I'm leaving......" After being silent for a while, Tan Xi suddenly spoke.
"Where?" Tu Ran was startled, and suddenly looked back at Tan Xi beside him.
"In town. My uncle has been transferred to the city~" Tan Xi lowered her head, unable to see the expression on her face.
"That's a promotion! Congratulations! Tu Ran felt astringent after hearing this, but he still smiled and said with a smile.
"I don't want to go. I can't bear you! Unexpectedly, Tan Xi suddenly burst into tears.
"I can't bear you!" Tu Ran hugged Tan Xi and also cried.
After the two little girls hugged and cried for a while, they began to discuss how Tan Xi could not leave. Tu Ran said that Tan Xi could live in her house, and the two of them could sleep together and go to school together every day. Tan Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded again and again.
The idea of this idea has alleviated the anxiety of parting a lot. The two of them began to talk enthusiastically. They talked about a lot of things from the past.
After the flood waters receded, they picked up a colourful plastic windmill from the dregs left by the river. The banks of the river there are wide and wide, covered with large and small white pebbles. They stood on the banks of the vast river, like tiny dots. At that time, they were very frightened, afraid that the receding flood would suddenly sweep again. If that happens, they won't even have time to escape. In fact, this is completely unfounded. As they ran anxiously to the shore, the blazing sun shone brightly above their heads.
When I was a child, I was like that, with a heart of anxiety and fear about many things. For such a small person, he always feels that the world is terrible. A snake swimming on the side of the road, a few spiky plants, will make us young people scare. I don't have basic common sense and judgment, so I feel that nothing in the world is not terrible, and nothing is not worth watching. But sometimes they are bold and want to explore everything. It's a natural human spirit of adventure and curiosity.
Therefore, Tu Ran and they would have the courage to search around the river beach where the flood water had just receded. After walking a short distance, they became frightened again, and ran desperately to the shore like a gust of wind, as if the rolling flood was chasing after them.
Speaking of the wide riverbank near the four courtyards, many good memories came to Tu Ran and Tan Xi's hearts. The two of them, you and I twittered one sentence at a time.
There is a tall old mulberry tree by the river in the four courtyards, and at the end of April, the green leaves are covered with purple and red mulberries. This mulberry is basically unattended, except for Tu Ran Tan Xi and the four of them who are gluttonous. Whenever the mulberries are ripe, several children will try their best to pick the mulberries in various ways to feast on them. The mulberry of the old mulberry tree was thumb-length, fat, and the juice overflowed when you took a bite, and the sweet and fragrant taste instantly spread in the mouth. After the children were full, their chins were covered with the sticky and sweet purple juice of mulberries. They would walk to the nearby stream and wash off the sticky mulberry juice on their faces with cold water.
It is said to be a small stream, but it is actually a small ditch. There was a thin stream of water in the ditch. When the stream was about to flow to the river, I don't know who stopped it with a stone, and a large wave of water was formed.
