Chapter III
On an early autumn day, rain fell, and as the wind rose, the drizzle of cow hair swayed around, and a chill floated in the air. Gu Yu, who was sitting in the last row of the classroom, felt hot on his face at this time, he was inferior in the current environment. The tallest of him was mixed in with a crowd of small dots, and he felt like he was a head lower than everyone else. Thankfully, this is in the remote Great River Country. This kind of thing often happens to 'stand out from the crowd'. Gu Yu's second year class has two 'older youths' to accompany him. One is Sun Gang, a thirteen-year-old boy with slightly dark skin, small eyes, and a big mouth. Laughing all day long. In the words of the teacher, it is 'no heart and no lungs'. Obviously, he was full of joy at Gu Yu's arrival, and took the initiative to ask to be at the same table with Gu Yu. I think that the older Sun Gang is also a little uncomfortable in this place of 'seeing the mountains at a glance'. For the newcomer Gu Yu, there is a kind of 'sympathy' meaning. The other is a girl named Liu Xiaohua, who looks quiet and delicate sitting there. I don't know why she ended up in their 'older' trio. came a month earlier than Gu Yu, usually doesn't like to talk much, comes quietly, and leaves quietly. 'Hey, I don't want to miss this anymore', Song Gang said softly to Gu Yu. Through these days of close contact, the two who have become friends have nothing to say. 'Can your dad agree?' Didn't you get beaten up last year because you repeated a grade?' Gu Yu reminded him. Song Gang had a bitter face, "I really envy you that no one cares about and no one asks." Gu Yu smiled bitterly. In these years, no one cares about it and no one asks about it, but it's also a benefit? 'I want to go out to work, and now I'm going out a lot,' Song Gang continued. Gu Yu looked at Song Gang, who was excited. "No, you are too small, and the society is too complicated," Gu Yu said something that he heard from nowhere. "Yes, a few days ago, a young student came back from Nancun, and he went out to work for more than a year, and he didn't get a penny back from his salary" The voice next to him was a little timid. Liu Xiaohua's participation was somewhat unexpected for the two. At this time, the bell rang for class, and the three of them ended this short conversation. When school was over, Song Gang put his arm around Gu Yu's shoulders and whispered jokes. 'Gu Yu', a crisp voice sounded behind him. 'My mom told you to come and go.'" 'Oh, got it, Juan'. Gu Yu hurriedly responded. Song Gang smiled evilly: "Who is this?" It's beautiful.'" Gu Yu punched Song Gang. Less nonsense. After returning to the broken temple and washing his face, Gu Yu came to the courtyard of Lin Niang's house. Taking the persimmon that Uncle Lin handed to him, Gu Yu, who was a little thirsty, couldn't help but take a bite, "This persimmon is so sweet." 'Eat more sweet,' Uncle Lin said happily. 'Eat less, keep your stomach for a while and eat dumplings' Lin Niang walked out of the house. The scraps of grain in his hand were sprinkled one by one to the chickens pecking around. It's a lot better now. This is especially true of Lin's mother's family. Uncle Lin drives his small farm truck every day. Good days are exchanged for good moods, so Uncle Lin's face is sunny all day long, in his words; It is contentment, and on such days, he is content. "Eat more, today's dumplings are filled with big meat and meat," Uncle Lin persuaded Gu Yu. 'Yes, it's all meat balls,' Gu Yu said as he ate. "When you get here, you are home, you can't eat, you deserve it," Lin Niang said with a smile. Gu Yu nodded busily. The table was full of Lin Juan's quiet and delicate food. "Your class is the tallest of you," Lin Juan smiled. 'Hmm' Gu Yu blushed a little. Oh, yes. I am currently in the second grade of elementary school. Lin Juan, who is the same age, is in the second grade of junior high school. How can this gap be so big? As soon as Gu Yu thought of this, he couldn't sit still. 'Teachers don't teach anything'? 'Yes, will'. 'Don't bully those little kids,' he said, laughing. For some reason, Gu Yu was a little angry. Some chagrin. His face was flushed. There are no words. The chopsticks in his hand also stopped. 'Uncle Lin, Lin Niang, I'm full'. Gu Yu got up. Lin Juan looked at this boy who was taller than her father, did what she said offended this boy who had strong self-esteem and often blushed, and couldn't help muttering a little in her heart, and her mouth was a little soft: "I don't mean anything else, you won't be so stingy when you're angry, eat some dumplings again." Gu Yu owes himself, so he pretends to be relaxed: 'Full, full, this dumpling is so fragrant today'. Gu Yu retired from Lin Niang's house with gratitude. Sometimes that's how it goes, the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. Lin Juan didn't feel that there was anything wrong, wasn't she just a little curious, and felt that some things were interesting? But the words 'don't bully those little kids' and 'you're the tallest' felt a little harsh in Gu Yu's ears. Adolescent children are sensitive, vulnerable, and have surprisingly strong self-esteem. In the past, Gu Yu would not mind these trivial things at all. It doesn't even elevate to the level of feeling 'humiliated'. But for some reason, these short conversations made him feel like he wanted to cry. How can the day understand the darkness of the night? Does anyone know how he survived those cold, hungry, lonely sleepless nights? How did you bear the night of lightning and thunder, and the miserable wind and rain that you couldn't sleep with fear and helplessness? It has been said, 'Fate is always not what people want.' But it is often in the midst of countless pains, contradictions and hardships that people become mature and strong'. Yes, since he was 7 years old, Gu Yu has been trained by life to be as strong as steel. He stood alone in front of the window, looking at the stars in the sky and listening to the chirping of the trees under him. The wind in the distance blew in along the crack in the door, blowing into the coolness of the night, and the cold moonlight outside the window shone on the boy's face, reflecting a trace of helplessness and sadness.
A peaceful day is like the water flowing slowly in a small river. Teacher Fang takes good care of Gu Yu, and from time to time he will call Gu Yu to his home to 'have a full meal', and the atmosphere is relaxed and happy. Fang Ling'er has recently prepared for the exam, and the time is tight and the task is heavy. Every time I see Gu Yu coming, I still have to put down my book and tease this boy who often blushes when he sees him. 'Come in and sit down' Fang Ling'er generously invited Gu Yu. It was the first time to walk into Fang Ling'er's small world, Gu Yu looked a little restrained, looking around the bedroom, simple and clean. Stacks of books were neatly placed in front of the desk, and there was a smell of herbs and a girl's fragrance in the room. Gu Yu looked at the little pig's pen holder, and saw that the snow-white buttocks were covered with a pale pink bow. 'You're really creative,' Gu Yu couldn't help but laugh dumbly. 'Yes', Fang Ling'er said with a smile: 'Don't let it run around with its bare butt and shameless'. Of course, Gu Yu knew what she was referring to. A little embarrassed, scratched his head, and said with a smile: 'Which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned, you don't know, now I am also a person with pants, and I don't have to worry about my sister to worry about pants for me'. As he spoke, he bowed with a smile and bowed deeply to Fang Ling'er. 'This villain, if you get cheap, you still sell well' Fang Ling'er was blushed by Gu Yu's words. "This learning is not in vain, I know that I have to talk back," Fang Ling'er said that he was about to pull Gu Yu's ears. Gu Yu was busy begging for mercy. The cottage was filled with youthful laughter. 'Sit down, I'll clean you up later' Fang Ling'er, who was sitting on the chair, said to Gu Yu angrily. Gu Yu looked at the snow-white sheets and hesitated. I couldn't help but brush my pants with my hand, which were not dirty. Carefully sat on the small loose and soft bed.
Fang Linger asked with concern: "Are you still comfortable with school life?" 'Well, it's okay,' Gu Yu replied. 'Listen to my dad, you're in some trouble with your hukou'. Fang Ling'er said with some worry. Gu Yu was a little uneasy. 'My dad will be back in a while, he will go out to run this matter for you as soon as he has time in the past two days, I heard that there are some eyebrows, don't worry' Fang Ling'er saw Gu Yu's uneasiness' and comforted. 'Always troublesome Teacher Fang, I really don't know how to repay him,' Gu Yu said softly. "Anyway, I don't need to repay with honey anymore, I lost my pants if I got honey," Fang Ling'er laughed and teased him. As the old saying goes, shrugged his shoulders and deliberately angered Fang Ling'er, 'Teacher Fang is not a gluttonous person'. Saying that, Gu Yu got up and wanted to run. Fang Ling'er was angry like a little tiger and pounced on Gu Yu is punch, but he didn't expect this punch to hit the ten rings, Gu Yu screamed and covered his eyes and squatted down. Fang Ling'er panicked when she saw this, and hurriedly pulled Gu Yu up to check the injury, gently rubbing Gu Yu's eyes with her hand, and carefully blowing on the injured part.
Gu Yu only felt that what was attached to his body was so soft, and the breath in his nose was as sweet as orchid, and he only felt that there was a feeling of happiness spreading to his body. I wish time had stopped. The sound of oops in the mouth and the look of enjoyment are in stark contrast. Fang Ling'er suddenly fell for it when she saw this. I was tricked by this kid. was angry with another punch, 'Mom' Gu Yu couldn't help but burst into tears. When Teacher Fang came back, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Gu Yu. Pointing to the dark green in the eye socket, 'How did you get it'? Gu Yu said: "I was accidentally hit by the door." Fang Ziyuan looked suspicious. Hit by a door? What door can knock the eyes into a circle of black blue? He glanced at Fang Ling'er suspiciously, seeing that the girl didn't dare to make a sound, although he didn't know how Gu Yu's injury was caused, he had already guessed that it must be related to her. said to Fang Ling'er: Get a hot towel for Gu Yu. He beckoned to Gu Yu again, "Come, I have something to tell you."
