092 Growing up is a long goodbye
Shui Dang is actually the Beiyuan dialect, which means waterhole. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe man who set up the swing cleaned up the inside of the swing. The bottom of the clear water is not even visible to the dregs that have settled on a rotting leaf. It was only when the wind picked up occasionally that a few leaves floated on the water. Plants with broad leaves grow around the water. The plants are more than half a meter high, and they are like a green barrier that encloses the entire water impenetrable.
Tu Ran and when they come home from school in the summer, they will drink water here and wash their faces. The water here is bone-chilling even in the height of summer. Whenever Tu Ran went home sweating under the scorching summer sun, they would come to this water swing and fold two emerald leaves to drink some water. The cool water enters the throat, and the heat quickly dissipates.
But you can't stay long here. Often, after a few minutes, the feeling of hunger and thirst in the body has subsided along with the heat, and they will leave refreshed. The temperature here is relatively low. If you stay a little longer, you'll get goosebumps.
It was cold, cold that drilled into the bones.
In autumn, the broad-leaved plants on the edge of the water wave grow gray fruits. The fruit is bulging in the middle, narrow on both sides, and has spike-like fibers in the middle. At that time, Tan Xi taught Tu Ran to pick out the spike-like fibers with the thorns growing on the thorn tree. Tan Xi was able to pick out the spike-like fibers in a few clicks, but Tu Ran was clumsy, and it took him a long time to pick out a little.
Tan Xi showed Tu Ran the clean fruit, and the middle of the fruit was empty, turning into a transparent hole. Tan Xi said that this is called a fruit called boneless rice, and it can be worn as a chain.
So, a few people picked boneless rice by the pool. The bush was fruitful, and there were many boneless rice. Everyone picks the plump and beautiful picks. After a while, everyone picked a handful.
Tu Ran brought home the boneless rice stuffed with a purse, and her grandmother helped her wear a bracelet and a necklace with colored threads. But her mother didn't let her wear it to play, saying that the boneless rice grows on the edge of the cold pool, and the yin qi is heavy, and wearing it on the body will suck people's blood. Tu Ran thought of the cool water swing, and quickly threw down the bead chain in his hand. After the chain left his hand, Tu Ran still couldn't help but shudder. A chill quickly rose from his body.
Tan Xi showed Tu Ran the boneless rice chain the next day, and Tu Ran conveyed his mother's words to Tan Xi, so frightened that Tan Xi hurriedly threw the chain in his hand.
Talking about these old things, both of them couldn't help but giggle. By the time they were in fifth grade, the water had somehow dried up, and the leafy plants at the water's edge had died. After that, none of them went to that water.
As he spoke, the school bell rang. When it was time for lunch, neither of them wanted to go home to eat, so they decided to stay a little longer and then go buy a small snack to eat.
The day passed quickly. When she went to school the next day, Tu Ran didn't wait to ask Tan Xi about the results of her negotiations with her uncle and aunt. When Tu Ran told his parents about this idea yesterday, his parents said that Tan Xi's uncle and aunt would definitely take Tan Xi away. At this moment, Tu Ran saw Tan Xi's depressed look, and knew that she was also not going well.
Sure enough, Tan Xi said that her uncle and aunt disagreed.
After Tu Ran listened, he couldn't give up all morning. She couldn't concentrate at all, and all she could think about was the scene where everyone used to play together.
The fact that there is no avoidability puts the two little girls in a distressed situation. When he came home from school in the afternoon, Ma Xiaoyue learned about the incident, and he also looked devastated. He was silent for a long time, and then came up with an idea: "Maybe Tan Xi doesn't have to leave, as long as she can convince her uncle and them to agree to her living in grandma's house." That's not it! ā
Ma Xiaoyue's words opened a new door for Tan Xi and Tu Ran. Oh, yes! Wouldn't that be enough? After careful summing up, the three of them decided that this method was feasible. So, the three of them went home happily.
As soon as they met the next day, Tu Ran and Ma Xiaoyue couldn't wait to ask Tan Xi about the result. Last night, Tu Ran told his parents about Ma Xiaoyue's idea. Mom and Dad think it's feasible. Daddy's affirmation made Tu Ran excited and didn't fall asleep for half the night, as if Tan Xi's stay had become an ironclad thing.
In the expectant eyes of the two, Tan Xi shook his head dejectedly. Ma Xiaoyue and Tu Ran's hearts suddenly became heavy. There is no more convincing way to do this. If this path doesn't work, there's no more to be done.
After determining that there was no room for turnaround, Tu Ran and Ma Xiaoyue tried their best to be good to Tan Xi. It's as if we'll never see each other again. Tan Xi's schoolbag was transferred to Ma Xiaoyue's shoulder, and Tan Xi wanted to drink water, and Tu Ran would immediately take the cup to pick it up...... The two of them were so attentive, but Tan Xi was a little overwhelmed.
There are two weeks left before the final exam, and after the exam, the three of them will be separated. Although they can meet in Beiyuan County two years later, the emotions of parting are backlogged day by day, and the three of them are in a gloomy mood.
After learning to paint on Saturday, Tu Ran told Ma Xiaolong about it. Although Ma Xiaolong felt a little sorry after hearing this, he felt that this was not a good thing. Tan Xi's grades are very bad, and if he continues like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to go to Beiyuan High School. But in the case of Beiyuan County, there are many famous teachers who are nervous about studying there, and they may be able to improve soon. In this way, everyone can still see you again at Kitahara High School. Ma Xiaolong's words dispelled the dark clouds that had been hanging in Tu Ran's heart. Oh, yes! How could she not have thought of it! This short parting is for the reunion in the future!
When he went to school on Monday, Tu Ran relayed Ma Xiaolong's words to Tan Xi and Ma Xiaojiao. All three of them were thrilled when they heard this. Ma Xiaoyue said that in order to meet again in Beiyuan High School in the future, he must no longer be greedy for fun. Tan Xi also said that she must work hard to be admitted to Beiyuan High School. Tu Ran saw the fighting spirit of the two friends, and vowed to overcome the difficulty of mathematics.
In this way, the sorrow of parting has been diluted a lot. All that remains is full of hope and anticipation for the future.
A few days after the exam, Tan Xi left. The day before she left, she came to Tu Ran's house to play with Tu Ran. Tu Ran said that he would send her the next day. Tan Xi said no. They went to their grandmother's house for dinner in the evening and left the next day. Tu Ran knew that Tan Xi's grandmother's house was in the four courtyards, which was relatively close to the road, and it was more convenient to take a car from there than from Tan Xi's house. So I didn't insist on it at the moment.
The two of them chattered for a while, and when it was dark at dusk, they were reluctant to part.
Two years later, the two little sisters were reunited at the gate of Kitahara High School. At that time, they looked at each other and ran towards each other with a smile.
