Chapter 15 Two Paths in Life, Practice Regrets

Sitting in the last row of the bus at the end of the summer, leaning against the window and thinking about what had just happened, she didn't understand how things could have turned out like this.

I still remember that not long after the start of the sophomore year of high school, a little chubby paper blocked the end of summer at the school gate, and then asked her if she was her sister. Then I took a black and white photo, which was very contemporary. A young headless couple holds a pair of white dolls with an iron window in the background; Under the sunshine, the little doll squinted and smiled, and the young couple's expressions were a little dull, which was the mark of the times.

At the end of the summer, she knew roughly the identity of the boy at a glance, she had seen it, and that's it. "How did you know I was going to school here?"

The boy was a little happy: "My sister came when school started, and I saw that you looked like her, although you have short hair and don't wear a skirt." I saw it in the cabinet, and my mother said it was another sister, and I don't know if it was you. ”

Xia Mo smiled: "Is your sister also studying here?" Looking at him and nodding, it seemed that he was a new life. Because she lied about her age at the end of the summer, she went to school early.

Children are always active, and that day they inadvertently saw the exact same late summer and asked Lin Feng and was taught a lesson. Later, I overheard my parents and found out that I had two older sisters, and they looked exactly the same.

After that, he naturally met with everyone in the Wang family, because the little boy was very excited that he had found another sister, and only the adults were embarrassed.

Lin Feng specially talked to Wang Weiwei and told her about the relationship between the two when she was a child, and she had a little impression that it had been blurred for too long.

At first, Wei Wei was very excited, a sister who looks the same as herself, which is a very curious thing. She would approach her, ask her out for shopping, take her home for dinner, and share her thoughts with her. For half a year, they were as close as if they had never been apart.

But the end of summer is so good that you can see her on the field, on the school bulletin, and sometimes on the festive banner at the school gate.

Gradually, Wei Wei's enthusiasm retreated, because she felt pressured. And her cousin Huang Manman has always been by her side to warn her: Be careful to be replaced. What scared her the most was the time when Grandma Xia was hospitalized, and she was almost dropped out of school at the end of the summer, and she heard the conversation between her parents.

Lin Feng said in a remorseful tone: If it was the end of summer that she took away at that time, wouldn't she have to endure hardship? She was afraid of being replaced, because Wang Zhenguo had praised the end of Xia more than once, and he had a lot to talk about with the end of Xia. Gradually, she stopped waiting for her at the door of the classroom, no longer took her home, and no longer pestered her to ask where to go.

At the end of summer, there will be regrets and losses, but there will be no sadness. If you have been happy, why not be afraid of empty dreams. There are always two paths in life, one for practicing true knowledge and the other full of regret and sentimentality.

Xia Yingjie touched her elbow: "Do you want to go home?" Together. ”

Late summer: "Okay, I haven't been back for a month, so I'll take it back to see if grandma is doing well." ”

Xia Yingjie said happily: "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock at the school gate waiting for you." By the way, I heard the senior in the team say that Guo Qing has been on leave for more than a week, do you know what the reason is? ”

Late summer sat up straight: "Is there something wrong?" Maybe he went to Shanghai, he and Fang Wan have been a bit fierce recently. ”

Xia Yingjie: "Ah, it's still making trouble." When he had to fill in the information, his teacher couldn't contact him. ”

Xia Yingjie finally met at the end of the first year of high school and the end of summer, because his grades were too poor to go to the second middle school, and he worked hard for three years and finally relied on his sports expertise to enter the county first middle school. It's just that it feels stranger anymore, the end of summer is quieter and more desperate than before, and she has very little free time, which makes people reluctant to delay his time.

Since Zheng Ming left, their relationship has gradually improved, and Grandma Xia has gone home more often since she was hospitalized, but she always feels a layer apart when they get along.

Xia Mo frowned: "Can't get in touch?" Lend me your phone. "At the end of the summer, I pressed a string of numbers, but unfortunately it was a state of shutdown.

She dialed another number, and soon a lazy female voice sounded: "Hey, whoever, if you have something to say, let it go." ”

It's been a long time since I've heard this flamboyant voice, and it's still so direct. She sorted out her mood: "Fang Huan, it's me." ”

The phone was stunned for a moment, and then the lazy voice rang again: "Yo, amazing, how did you think of calling me, honor student." ”

At the end of the summer, he drew a circle on the window with his finger: "It's business, where is Brother Qing?" The school has some information for him to fill in, and he won't have to take the college entrance examination again. ”

Fang Wan laughed out loud, her tone was a little excited: "Looking for Guo Qing, haha, it's so funny." You ask me if he's by my side, how do you have the face to ask me? We broke up, and you got your wish. ”

Xia Mo sighed: "I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the two of you, if he sues him about this matter on your side, or let him call this mobile phone number." ”

Fang Huan: "Oh, it's a good mix, I even use my mobile phone." I thought you were different, but I didn't expect you to be the same cheap. Using men's money, robbing other people's men, pretending to be indifferent and pretending to be high, the rat used to tell me that I still don't believe it, it's really blind. Look at how ruthless you kicked Zheng Ming away, and Guo Qing will return you to be a treasure. Bah. ”

Late Summer rolled her eyes: "No matter how you misunderstand, as long as you relay my words." ”

Fang Huan: "Who do you think you are?" Could it be that Fang Huan, what are you doing, I came in. Doodoo"

Xia Mo sighed when he heard the familiar and unfamiliar voice, and then hung up and handed it to Xia Yingjie: "Thank you, it doesn't seem to be on her side to listen to the tone, go back and ask Dad Guo this time." If the call comes back, you can answer it for me. ”

Xia Yingjie wanted to say something, but she closed her eyes and took a nap, silently put her phone in her bag, and then sat aside. In fact, the amplification of the mobile phone is really loud now, and the few people who should be nearby have heard the conversation between the two, especially the other party has some sharp voices shouting.

The countryside is always rustic, and when the two got off the bus at the street entrance, they met the familiar villager with a hoe and greeted: "This is Aijiao's granddaughter?" I'm back, too, I haven't seen it for a long time, I'm busy, study hard, it's amazing. ”

The person who heard it on the side also interjected: "It's been a long time since I saw it, I heard that I went to the city to compete this time, it's not bad." How many days off can I take this time? Your grandmother is always thinking about you, and it seems that she bought meat this morning. ”

Xia Mo greeted them one by one and answered patiently, Xia Yingjie asked curiously: "You all know them?" Familiar? There are a few that I haven't seen at all. ”

Xia Mo smiled: "I probably know a few, but I don't know each other." ”

Xia Yingjie: "Cut, I thought you were all acquainted, so I said that you don't come back often, how can you know each other." So what's there to talk about. ”

Rubbing his eyes at the end of summer: "It's all a village, the old people always have their own circle, you don't know them, but they must know you." It's so boring, repeating the same thing every day, meeting so many people, always hoping to talk to young people and know something they don't know. ”

Xia Yingjie was thoughtful, as if this was the case. Every time he came back, his grandmother would keep asking this and that, and he would appear early in the morning until he went to bed, and he was only annoyed before, but now he thinks about it is too lonely, and he needs to talk to someone.

Granny Chun saw the two of them from afar and said loudly: "Oh, it's back at the end of summer, why is the hair so short, I thought Xiaojie brought his classmates back." Your grandmother is in the vegetable patch next to the belt factory, and she doesn't listen to anything. Do you want Grandma Chun to boil egg noodles for you to eat? ”

Xia Mo smiled and said loudly: "Granny Chun doesn't need it, Xiaojie and I both came back from eating, and I went to the field to help." Xia Yingjie knew that it was really not necessary to say that it was not necessary at the end of the summer, so he shouted that he was hungry and asked Granny Chun to make lunch. At the end of the summer, he said thank you with his mouth, and then compared the gesture of the phone, and the other party nodded and waved his hand.

Walking on the way to the belt factory, I unconsciously remembered that summer, the same trail, different people and moods. Along the way, some people will always disappear in your path and meet the vicissitudes of life again.

Seeing Grandma Xia bending over to weed, she went to the field at the end of Xia without saying a word: "Grandma, didn't you plant a little less, you can't eat it alone, don't go to the vegetable market." ”

Grandma Xia's looks much older than in previous years, with more gray hair, a rickety body, and a face full of striped lines raised and took a look: "Didn't you say to go to the game, why did you come back?" How can it be eaten alone, aren't your fathers and them also at home, and there are aunts and uncles, and your aunts and aunts also love to take a little. I didn't go to the vegetable market, and I was idle, and I was in good health. ”

Grandma Xia has been inseparable from the land all her life, and she has been worried about her juniors for a lifetime, but no one is guarding her when she is hospitalized. Grandma Xia's heart is a little bad, and several brothers and sisters have diabetes and have suffered a lot. In the past few years, the brothers have made some money, otherwise it would be a problem to see a doctor and buy medicine. Grandpa Xia has been guarding the door in the city government, and he can't call him back, several daughters-in-law refuse to help fight the islets, Grandma Xia is too timid to prick the needle herself, and in the end, it is Grandpa Chun who helps them fight every day.

At the end of the summer, I was actually a little distressed, in my previous life, Grandma Xia was reluctant to go to the hospital for a check-up, and she didn't know what she was sick about, so she died early. But in this life, because of the selfishness of the end of summer, she had to fight pancreatic islets before meals, taking more medicine than food, and many taboos, she obviously felt that the old man was unhappy. Once the spring grandmother also saw her stealing biscuits, and her temper became more stubborn.

"The game ended yesterday and came back today with Xiaojie. They are probably tired of eating these dishes for a long time, so they will give some to others in the village if they have too much. It's okay to grow vegetables, but don't be too tired, and go to the hospital even more. Late summer didn't say anything more, because she knew that the old man was sometimes very unreasonable, and she wore white nylon gloves and lowered her head to weed quickly.

Grandma Xia glanced at her short hair: "Momo, your hair is too short to keep it, girls still look good with long hair." Also, eat more, it's too thin, I just bought meat for you to stew today. Your brother went to his grandmother's house, and he gave you all to eat. ”

At the end of summer, he responded loudly: "Okay, let's go back to stew when this dragon is done." I brought you some food back, all of which you can eat without sugar, don't give it to Xia Xin, he can't eat any good things when he is young, and Huang Zhen doesn't like you to give him food. ”

Grandma Xia sighed: "No matter how you say it, it's also your father and wife, and it's not good for others to hear the name." Your brother is very well-behaved, I heard that he often takes the first place in the exam, and he will definitely go to middle school like you in the future. ”

Looking at the old man's happy face full of wrinkles, the end of the summer did not speak, but just quickened the movements at hand. The older generation will have this idea to some extent: only grandsons can glorify their ancestors.

I remember that when Xia Xin was four years old, a fortune teller arranged eight characters for him, saying that he was prosperous and sat as a magistrate. Grandma Xia wrapped a big red envelope on the spot, and wrapped the note in a red cloth and put it in the wooden box at the head of the bed.

In fact, for her, Huang Zhen is just a stranger, as long as she doesn't mess with her, there is no need to pay attention to it. It's good for individuals to breathe their own air. As for Xia Xin, he originally wanted to get along well, but he couldn't talk together, first, he didn't have time to get along, and second, there was the age gap, and there was nothing to force for.

As for what others think, that's not what she cares about, her heart is so big, it's too crowded and tiring to put everything in. It's not easy to live, so why should you be embarrassed by your own uncomfortable life. If you can't block it, then you choose not to listen to it.
