Chapter 277: The Gap

The Torch Festival, for carefree children, is a happy festival that gathers delicious food and fun in one day.

Li Yunchuan's delicious barbecue prepared at home, a sumptuous lunch dinner full of wild game in Niuyang Mountain, a variety of delicious snacks and snacks in the Toyama Township Market, and people who know or strangers hold hands in a circle and dance together on the earthen dam next to the township market

On this day, not only the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys and girls had a good time, but a few eleven or twelve-year-old children had even more fun, and obviously they had not had enough.

After Li Yunchuan had dinner in the New Year, Yu Mingyue planned to let Li Yunchuan send them back, but Xiaolong's cousins begged bitterly, wanting to go to the market in Fushan Township, which must be more lively and fun now, and then go back.

Yu Mingyue looked at everyone's reactions, and saw that not only Zheng Zhilin and the four boys, but even Yu Mingyan and Xiaolan obviously wanted to go shopping again, so they only nodded and agreed.

After all, such a festival is only once a year, and it is not easy for everyone to get together.

Especially today's festive atmosphere with fire as the theme, full of enthusiasm and vitality in joy, seems to be able to infect the soul of human beings, so that every tired or old or cold soul can absorb vitality and enthusiasm today.

The last expression on everyone's face that is not lacking in this day is a smile, a smile from the heart.

Even Yu Mingyue herself had a great time today.

Although she has lived for nearly 50 years according to the age of her soul, her soul with countless scars is imprinted with the vicissitudes and indifference of the world, which cannot be changed even by rebirth.

But it's daytime today. Yu Mingyue also almost forgot her real age, forgot the pain and vicissitudes in her soul, as if she had really become a carefree high school girl with only 17 flowers.

It's more lively at night, but the road that has been used as a market is more crowded.

Today, though, no one cares about such congestion.

When the group came to the bazaar again, it attracted more and more heads.

And these eyes basically stayed on the three sisters of Yu Mingyue.

"Wow, look, look, three girls over there are so beautiful."

"Yay. Really. Do you know which school this is? ”

"Hey, Sister Zhang, look at those three Peugeot-looking girls, are they the three sisters of the Yu family in Daping Township?"

"Uh, yes. Yo. I haven't seen each other for a year or two. The appearance is more peugeot than the other. Let me tell you, the tallest obedient face is the boss of the Yu Lao Liu's family. Side"

Yu Mingyue and his entourage, along the way, attracted less attention, but also caused bursts of exclamations and discussions.

After all, in addition to the appearance of the three sisters, who are so good that many people who know them and don't know them can exclaim and talk about them, their identity as a rich second generation can also be talked about by insiders for a long time.

But to put it in detail, whether in the previous life or in this life, among the three cousins, in terms of appearance, Yu Mingju is the most beautiful one.

In his previous life, the family conditions were not good, Yu Mingju dropped out of school at a young age and went home to do a lot of heavy farm work, and in the end, his appearance was outstanding, but he was very short, let alone in good shape.

But this life is different, although Yu Mingju is not yet 13 years old, but perhaps because of the good living conditions and the fact that he has been learning dance since he was a child, his height is already nearly 150.

With her delicate little goose egg face, even if she still has the innocence and childishness of a little girl, it will still make many people think of using coquettishness, a word that should not be used to describe the appearance of children.

Especially when she calculates something in her heart and shows that weird smile, it will make people feel like a demon who wants to seduce people.

When I visited the market during the day, the little boy who saw her was not sure how much she was stunned.

When dancing around the fire, if it weren't for the fact that Xiaojun and Niu Niu, who had already fallen under her pomegranate skirt, acted as her left and right hand dance partners, and there were big dragons and small dragons glaring at people next to her, those little boys who would blush and beat their hearts one by one by her look might have a rush in order to grab the two positions that could pull her little hands.

Yu Mingyan is also a delicate and small goose egg face, and when she smiles a little, she will show two small dimples. A tall and small nose, a red and plump cherry mouth, and a pair of big phoenix eyes that are very seductive.

But maybe it's less eccentric and more honest temperament, which often gives people a cute first feeling.

Yu Mingyue has always felt that she is the most ordinary among the three sisters.

But she didn't know that her baby face, which is obviously a combination of delicate, sweet and cute, but contradictory with a calm indifference and a little vicissitudes of life, although not as beautiful and moving as the two cousins, is often unforgettable.

When the group walked to the burning dam by the market, there were many more people dancing and dancing than during the day, and when a few small people saw the excitement, they came up again, laughing and squeezing into the circle of people and jumping.

Subsequently, Zheng Zhilin, Yang Xiaobao and several other big ones also squeezed into the circle. At the same time, the circle of thirty or forty people was suddenly expanded a lot, and the laughter and roar were also much louder than in other places.

And among them, the one who laughs the most hahaha and laughs the most and the craziest is Yu Mingju, who has always been too lively.

Her voice was already clear, but now she has no control over it, even if there are people laughing and roaring to the rhythm all around, but her voice is the most prominent.

Yu Mingju was happy, but Yu Mingyan's good-looking willow eyebrows were about to wrinkle into a straight line.

"Xiaoyue, take a look, Xiaoju's crazy girl, I don't know how to care about her, I know how to dress like a flower butterfly all day long, wherever she goes, there must be a large swarm of buzzing bees behind her buttocks."

This analogy is a bit exaggerated, and Yu Mingyue couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it. When he raised his eyes to look in the direction where Yu Mingju was, he suddenly felt that Yu Mingyan's analogy was really appropriate at this time.

Because at this time, behind Yu Mingju's sisters and brothers, there were seven or eight little boys ranging from ten to fourteen or fifteen years old, chattering around and talking about something.

Although she couldn't hear what the seven or eight little boys were saying, just watching them move around with the rotating circle of people and keep them behind Yu Mingju's sisters and brothers, Yu Mingyue knew what their purpose was.

is nothing more than wanting to insert into the team that forms a circle of people. so that he took one of Yu Mingju's hands and danced in a circle around the fire.

And the reason why a few people pushed me. It must be that none of these seven or eight little boys had the courage to fall and act first.

It's not that Yu Mingyue is smart enough to understand these at a glance, but in the daytime, there have been many scenes like this.

As a sister of two lives, Yu Mingyue naturally heard the worry in Yu Mingyan's words.

After thinking about it. chuckled: "Xiao Ju's personality is a little more lively. But she's still young after all. This age is the time when she is carefree, laughs and makes trouble, and when she is older, she will still be like this, and then teach her. ”

Yu Mingyue is not a person who pampers her younger siblings. On the contrary, Yu Mingyue is still very authoritative in the minds of several younger siblings, and she is a strict but amiable sister.

Because she grasped the timing and scale of teaching the children well.

It's just that for Yu Mingju, who was introverted and weak in his previous life, and later his marriage was unsatisfactory and suffered too much, his personality became even more dull, but in this life, there was a big reversal, his personality was a little overdone, and he was so smart that he could almost only be described as eccentric, and his second cousin with sharp teeth and sharp teeth, Yu Mingyue has always put the scale more leniently.

After all, in Yu Mingyue's opinion, the reason why the second cousin in this life is so lively, so beautiful, and so eccentric seems to be venting all kinds of depression and unhappiness in her previous life.

Yu Mingyue often thinks that if it weren't for too much responsibility, which made her lose too much courage, otherwise she would also like to be able to indulge and live a life like this within a certain scale.

That's good. However, she never regrets the choices she has made.

For Yu Mingyue's leniency towards her sister, Yu Mingyan has always had a lot of complaints, and Yu Mingyue counted Xiao Ju's evil form when she was at home, Xiao Zhi heard it, and became excited, climbed on Yu Mingyan's back, and began to sue his second sister, and Yu Mingyue couldn't cry or laugh.

And Yinling, who was held in Yu Mingyue's arms, studied Yu Mingyue's smile with great interest, and then learned a strange smile.

The two sisters muttered and talked, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, Xiao Zhi and Yinling, who had been excited all day, were only three or four years old after all, and they had already begun to get sleepy.

Yu Mingyue saw Yin Ling, who was held in her arms, and began to nod her head and doze off like a chicken pecking rice, and when Xiao Zhi, who was crawling on Yu Mingyue's back, was already asleep, there was a gentle smile in her eyes.

It's time to go back.

When Yu Mingyue proposed to go home, although the older children hadn't had enough fun, they also knew that they had to take care of their two younger siblings, and they had no objections.

Then, Yu Mingyue turned around and looked at Zheng Zhilin and chuckled: "Zhilin, why don't you call home again and ask your uncle and aunt to ask for leave, if they agree, you can go to my house to live today, and by the way, you can have a few days at my house." ”

Yu Mingyan also immediately smiled and said: "Yes, let's go, now is the time to eat fruits, there are a lot of wild mushrooms and wild fruits on the mountain, by the way, let you experience the life of our countryside there, it's very fun." ”

In the past two years, Yu Mingyue has already gone to Zheng Zhilin's house to play once, but this is the first time she has invited Zheng Zhilin to her house to play.

The first time I went to Zheng Zhilin's house to play, it was Zheng Zhilin's birthday in the first semester of high school, I had been classmates with Zheng Zhilin for seven years in my previous life, and Yu Mingyue had never been to Zheng Zhilin's house.

After all, in their previous life, when Zheng Zhilin's parents learned about Yu Mingyue's life experience from Zheng Zhilin, they strictly ordered Zheng Zhilin to stay away from Yu Mingyue, for fear that Zheng Zhilin would be unlucky.

But Zheng Zhilin is not so superstitious, and has always insisted on being friends with Yu Mingyue, so when the husband and wife see Yu Mingyue, who still doesn't know the situation, they will show all kinds of disgust and dislike.

Zheng Zhilin's father has always been a man, although most of them were he who took Zheng Zhilin to sign up and hold parent-teacher conferences for Zheng Zhilin, and saw Yu Mingyue more often. But when he saw Yu Mingyue, in addition to his calm face, he would not embarrass Yu Mingyue verbally.

But Zheng Zhilin's mother Jin Fengmei is not like this, she has always had a pungent personality, and her likes and dislikes are clear.

After knowing that Zheng Zhilin had to make Yu Mingyue a broom star friend, every time she saw Yu Mingyue, instead of showing her face and saying something unpleasant, she would know that Yu Mingyue didn't want to talk about it, and called Yu Mingyue to ask about Yu Mingyue's family history, intentionally or unintentionally.

This kind of situation. Yu Mingyue at that time felt puzzled, embarrassed, uneasy, and sad at the same time. I tried my best to avoid seeing them.

Yu Mingyue asked Zheng Zhilin: Your parents seem to hate me very much, don't you like you to make friends like me?

Zheng Zhilin smiled indifferently: It's okay, I've been like this since I was a child, and when I saw that I was having a good time with that female classmate. I thought I was friends with those girls. Hey. They're sure to think you're my girlfriend, hehe

Listen to him say the word girlfriend, even if the word 'think' is added in front of it. But Yu Mingyue still felt a burst of blush and heartbeat at that time, and only then did a burst of bitterness swell up in her heart.

She knew that Zheng Zhilin really just regarded her as the best tablemate and friend, and nothing else. But she still couldn't help but secretly like him in her heart.

In the first semester of the third year of high school, seeing that Zheng Zhilin often quietly brought vegetables from home to Yu Mingyue to eat, Jin Fengmei was a little more worried, so she found Yu Mingyue privately and called Yu Mingyue out of the grove outside the school gate.

Yu Mingyue suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and when she guessed the reason why Zheng Zhilin's mother was looking for her, she did not forget to try to maintain a polite smile.

But when Jin Fengmei's face was obviously disgusted and disgusted, and every word she said was like a sharp knife that could insert a person's body and mind into a thousand holes, Yu Mingyue could no longer maintain the smile on her face.

Because, one sentence after another, Jin Fengmei directly said that she would never fall in love with her son and Yu Mingyue, and after letting Yu Mingyue recognize her identity, she also said that Yu Mingyue should not even be an ordinary friend and her son, who knows if Yu Mingyue's life is like that, and whether it will also affect her friends.

Under such embarrassment and humiliation, Yu Mingyue didn't have the courage to make superfluous explanations.

I won't be cheeky to say to Jin Fengmei: It's just that I have a crush on your son, but I don't have any extraneous thoughts, I just want to treasure this feeling that I won't say to people in my memory.

In order to have a little self-esteem left, and the basic respect that should be had for her friend's mother, Yu Mingyue held back her tears, and after showing that she and Zheng Zhilin were not in love, she promised to stay away from Zheng Zhilin, so she fled back to school, and then hid in a corner where no one was around, crying silently.

Then, for the sake of self-esteem, in order not to lose her words, she was also afraid that it would really affect Zheng Zhilin, and Yu Mingyue worked hard to keep a distance from Zheng Zhilin.

But in the end, watching Zheng Zhilin's sad and frustrated questioning again and again, and Zheng Zhilin's learning began to feel negative, Yu Mingyue finally chose not to have the little self-esteem left, and chose to lose faith for the first time, in the last semester of the third year of high school, the two of them continued to become good friends, and later, because of their common ideals, the two were admitted to the same university.

It wasn't until Zheng Zhilin fell in love with a female teacher in the same school after he worked, and then married the female teacher, at that wedding, Zheng Zhilin's parents did not give Yu Mingyue a smile like treating other guests.

Looking at Yu Mingyue's eyes, there was still disgust and disgust, and there were some more resentments that made Yu Mingyue feel incomprehensible.

Until Yu Mingyue was killed by lightning, Yu Mingyue didn't know that it was because in those years, Zheng Zhilin's father's unit was forced to lay off, and the family lived on the clothing store and shoe store opened by Jin Fengmei.

But the market competition is getting bigger and bigger, Jin Fengmei is getting older and older, her vision and thoughts when she buys goods can't keep up, and there is no proper adjustment and transformation, and the business in the store is getting worse and worse, and she is about to go out of business.

But they couldn't find the reason in themselves, so they blamed Yu Mingyue for everything, thinking that it was because someone in the family (Zheng Zhilin) got too close to Yu Mingyue and got bad luck.

This really makes people feel speechless, but many people, like this, it is easier to attribute the responsibility for failure to others than to admit that it is their own shortcomings that caused the failure

Even if she is reborn in a lifetime, Yu Mingyue still retains the shadow of the year in her heart.

So when she went to Zheng Zhilin's house that time, she was greeted warmly and cordially by Zheng Chenglin's parents. Zheng Zhilin's mother was even more excited that Yu Mingyue couldn't understand, and Yu Mingyue was a little confused.

When quickly adapting to the vastly different treatment, among the various complex emotions in Yu Mingyue's heart, there was nothing that should be flattered.

It wasn't until Zheng Zhilin's mother pulled Yu Mingyue to chat that Yu Mingyue knew that she and Zheng Zhilin's mother turned out to be old acquaintances.

She was less than six years old, to be exact. became a regular customer of a shoe store opened by Zheng Zhilin's mother on the street of the old movie theater.

Merely. In less than ten years, the shrewd fat aunt who opened a shoe store in Yu Mingyue's eyes has become Aunt Jin, who is now very skinny but Zheng Zhilin's mother in Yu Mingyue's memory, after a serious illness a few years ago.

The weight is more than 30 pounds less. Jin Fengmei's figure is very different, not to mention. Even the appearance is the same as when he was fat. Completely turned into two people.

On the other hand, Yu Mingyue, although she has grown from six years old to 17 years old now, in addition to her height and temperament. Yu Mingyue's appearance is not much different from that of childhood, Zheng Zhilin's mother saw Yu Mingyue for the first time, and she thought of the fact that in the past few years, she had to bargain when she went to the store every year to buy things, and she was not like a child's little girl.

That day, compared to the warmth and cordiality of Jin Fengmei and her husband, and Jin Fengmei mentioned that she used Yu Mingyue as an example to educate her son for many years, Yu Mingyue seemed a little silent, except for the politeness that should be there, Yu Mingyue didn't say much.

But this made Zheng Zhilin's parents have a better impression of Yu Mingyue, and felt that Yu Mingyue was a smart but quiet and gentle girl.

Although the husband and wife didn't say anything to Zheng Zhilin, since that day, in private, they all hope that their son can be more competitive, and if possible, they will chase Yu Mingyue, a girl who has no choice between herself and her family background.

After that time, Jin Fengmei often asked Zheng Zhilin to invite Yu Mingyue to play at home, but Yu Mingyue was no longer the simple and ignorant high school girl she was back then, she had already noticed something strange from the enthusiasm of the two elders when they met for the first time, and many times she refused because she had something.

It's not that she is hypocritical, it's not that she still holds a grudge against the old things in her previous life, but because, on the one hand, in this life, she no longer has the same feelings for Zheng Zhilin as in her previous life.

Therefore, I don't want Zheng Zhilin's parents to misunderstand, nor do I want Zheng Zhilin to misunderstand.

Second, going to Zheng Zhilin's house, the kind of treatment that was too different from this life in the previous life will make Yu Mingyue recall too many past events in her previous life, and all kinds of complicated emotions make her feel very uncomfortable.

After all, after experiencing all kinds of things in her previous life, she had already seen all kinds of ugliness in human nature, which made her develop a suspicious character in her previous life.

When interacting with people, we often unconsciously take precautions.

Even if those two people are the parents of their friends, they are no exception.

But there is another voice in my heart that says: they have always been the parents of their friends.

She knew she shouldn't and didn't want to, but she couldn't help but think of their true intentions in the bad light.

So, keeping your distance, not going, rare, is the best choice.

In his previous life, Zheng Zhilin went home to play with Yu Mingyue once, and in this life, after the two became good friends, Zheng Chenglin also mentioned going to Yu Mingyue's house to play.

But on the one hand, Yu Mingyue will be busy with such and such things every time she has a holiday, and she doesn't want Zheng Zhilin to see that she is too different from the daily life of a high school girl.

On the other hand, maybe it is the uncontrollable scruples that have the same reasons as before, so this is the first time that Yu Mingyue has officially invited Zheng Zhilin to her house to play.

At this time, Zheng Zhilin was happy when he heard that Yu Mingyue invited him to play at home. He had long thought that he had heard that Yu Mingyue's house with a big orchard had a trip to experience rural life, and he had the cheekiness to tell Yu Mingyue twice, but every time he had a holiday, Yu Mingyue had all kinds of reasons to refuse, and he was sad about it.

"Hehe, okay, my parents will definitely not object." Zheng Zhilin was so happy that he hurriedly ran to the side, borrowed a phone from Li Yunchuan, the only one here who had a mobile phone, and called home to ask for leave.

Although Li Yunchuan is not a cautious person, when he handed the mobile phone to Zheng Zhilin, who was dancing with flying eyebrows, he was still a little bitter and sour in his heart.

Then he turned to look at Yu Mingyue, and he was very happy to see the thick smile on Yu Mingyue's face, and Li Yunchuan felt that his throat was a little bitter.

I thought: Actually, compared to me, Zheng Zhilin is really more worthy of Xiaoyue, although he is still only a high school student, I heard that he is also good at studying, and he will definitely go to college like Xiaoyue in the future.

And I really seem to be too bad, but do I really have to give up?

No! I can't just give up like that. Even if I don't have the qualifications now, I have to work harder for a few years to surpass him while Satsuki and this rival are still studying, and try to narrow the gap between me and Satsuki, which has long existed
