Xiao Mu and Gu Yihuai went to the Northeast restaurant for dinner, and the two of them took a leisurely walk on campus. Just after the competition, they don't have to train in the evening, and now they have their own free time. It was discussed in the morning, and after dinner, Gu Yihuai wanted to take Xiao Mu to a good place. That's why they didn't go to dinner with their coaches, and it's rare that the two don't have to train or study.

Gu Yihuai took Xiao Mu to the main building, the main building is not high, and it has a history of several decades. When the school was built, it was the main building, and there are only two buildings now. Compared with the newly built high-rise buildings around, it is so short, but there is a kind of solemnity and vicissitudes. It is as if he is a wise old man, leading the young, tall and strong young people around him to move forward on the journey of history.

They went up the stairs, and in a moment they came to the top of the building, where there was a small door. Pushing open the small door, it turned out to be the roof of the main building. It's so spacious, and it's rare to have such a big quiet place in this noisy city. The surrounding high-rise buildings are located on the south and north sides, leaving a space for the sunset to be on the horizon.

The sunset is still hesitating, as if waiting, and the show can finally begin.

The first time Xiao Mu came here, he was shocked by the red in the distance. "How did you find this, it's so beautiful."

"When I was a freshman, our class "Comprehensive Japanese" class was on the top floor, and once after class, I found the small door just now, and when I opened it, it turned out to be Narnia." Gu Yihuai smiled and pointed to the sunset, "That day, I sat here and waited for it to go down." Since then, I'll come over when I have time. I've been busy with you this semester, and this is the first time I've been here. As he spoke, he pouted at Xiao Mu.

"After that, when I have time, I'll accompany you."

"That's pretty much it." Gu Yihuai smiled, "When I was a child, I was at home, and after dinner, I often sat in the yard to watch the sunset. It's red, it's so warm, and the fatigue of the day can be eliminated. Grandma made me a cup of flower tea, and we sat and talked, waiting for the red in the sky to dissipate little by little, and then went back to sleep. I don't know if grandma is also watching the sunset now. ”

A hint of sadness took away the excitement just now. Gu Yihuai watched quietly.

"Do you miss grandma?"

"It's okay," Gu Yihuai looked at Xiao Mu and smiled, "Grandma is an optimist, she and the old lady and old man in the village sit in front of the village commissary at this time of the day. You won't think of me at this time. ”

"Then, is it just you and grandma at home?"

"Yes," Gu Yihuai began to ponder this time, Xiao Mu didn't bother her, and after a while, she slowly told her story.

When Gu Yihuai was five years old, his father and several villagers went to the mountains to pick herbs, and on the way back, they accidentally fell into the valley. By the time everyone found him, his father was no longer breathing.

The next year, her mother, who had no financial income, left her grandparents with Gu Yihuai, who was only six years old, and remarried to a neighboring village. The adoptive father, Ping, was good to their mother and daughter at first, but as soon as he drank, he would beat her. Mother didn't dare to care, so she could only wipe her tears.

In the third year, the mother and adoptive father gave birth to another boy. The adoptive father has nothing to do to beat Gu Yihuai, and the mother has a younger brother, so she doesn't care so much about Gu Yihuai. Gu Yihuai was often beaten, couldn't eat enough, and had to do a lot of chores. Long-term malnutrition and domestic violence have made Gu Yihuai much thinner than children of the same age.

Seven-year-old Gu Yihuai was supposed to go to school, but her adoptive father didn't want her to go to school, and the family still needed someone to do housework and someone to take care of her younger son.

My grandfather, who lived in a neighboring village, was very angry when he heard about it. came to their house to make a fuss, and then took Gu Yihuai away. Since then, Gu Yihuai has never been to the place that left a shadow in her young heart, and her mother has seen her twice later, and she has never met again.

Grandpa sent Gu Yihuai to another village to go to school, there is a small road to go to school, you need to climb a hill, there is a primary school in that village, and the children from the surrounding villages come to class. At first, her grandfather picked her up and sent her, and when she was older, she went to school and got out of school with a few friends from the same village. Grandpa also went to the mountains to collect medicine and farm, and grandma raised chickens and ducks at home. It doesn't cost much to go to school, and the cost of the family is not much. This kind of life is already full of happiness for Gu Yihuai.

This life lasted until the third year of junior high school, when my grandfather fell seriously ill and passed away soon after. Gu Yihuai and her grandmother were very sad, and she once wanted to drop out of school and go home. It was still grandma who insisted that she continue to study, "Although your father and grandfather are gone, we are still here." As long as one lives, there must be hope. They are the two of them, leaving us behind, it is enough for them to feel guilty. If we don't get good, they will be even sadder in heaven. So let's take care of it, let them feel at ease in heaven, and let them know that without these two conscienceless people, our mother and daughter are living just as well. If you love them, go to school well, let them be well, and we will be well. I can't see them now, but I know that our family's hearts will always be together. ”

In this way, Gu Yihuai is still in high school. The school waived tuition and fees, and the village paid a monthly subsidy. Grandma is in very good health, growing vegetables, chickens, and ducks every day. Although the days are monotonous, the grandparents and grandchildren are still full of hope.

Gu Yihuai told the story, and Xiao Mu listened quietly.

Gu Yihuai's single eyelid couldn't hide the ups and downs in her heart, Xiao Mu held Gu Yihuai's hand, didn't say anything, and quietly listened to the thin girl's heart.

When the story was over, the two looked at the sunset and it was completely dark. The neon lights of the city illuminate the sky in color and obscure the stars that live in the sky. The stars shyly hide behind the veil, secretly looking at the colors of the earth. There are only a few stars, and they are bold enough to leak their faces and look in the sky. It used to be their paradise, but now it's only lonely.

Xiao Mu held Gu Yihuai's hand, and Gu Yihuai leaned on Xiao Mu's shoulder.

Xiao Mu asked, "Then how did you learn Japanese?" ”

Gu Yihuai was happy, "We don't have a teacher in our primary school to teach English, so when we are in junior high school, we will go to the middle school in the town to attend classes." All the primary schools in the town have learned English, but we in the village can't keep up. By the time I got to the high school entrance examination, I was excellent in all subjects, but I failed in English. When I got to high school, the gap was even greater. ”

"It just so happens that there is an old educated youth in our village, who did not return to the city after going to the countryside, saying that he likes the mountains and rivers here. He had been to Japan to study, and when he heard about me, he said he wanted to teach me Japanese. Then he asked someone to help me find a Japanese textbook, and I started learning Japanese. Later, I found out that Japanese is much easier to learn than English, so our teacher took a Japanese test on the Internet and asked me to answer each test. As a result, I did well in the exam, so I also took the Japanese test in the college entrance examination, and I also chose Japanese for my major. It's magical, grandma said that I have a natural appearance. ”

"Look at your beauty, thanks to the fact that there is a master in your broken village, or you may not be in which broken school you are attending now."

"I'm done with my story, tell me your story."

"I don't have a story, I don't have your touching. It's just an ordinary student's path to study. ”

"Hurry up, don't try to get by."

"Well, you don't have to laugh at me." Xiao Mu sorted out his thoughts, and started from being moved over that year, talking about how he persuaded the teacher, how he took the time to practice, how he stole Xu Lanqing's eggs, and how he stole Lao Xiao's beef. How to trick the teacher into attending class in junior high school, how to apply to the principal. was shocked and talked all the way, and Gu Yihuai was amused.

The atmosphere is not as tense as Gu Yihuai said, the two of them are talking and laughing, fighting and making trouble, and before they know it, the moon is high-level.

"You thief, you won't let go of your own family, if you want to mess with me in the future, I'll tell your mother."

"I'll just tell you, you have to keep it a secret. It's so stupid, am I so moved by your story today that you told me all the most intimate things. No, I'm going to have to kill someone. Xiao Mu said, and was about to pinch Gu Yihuai's neck.

"The hero spares his life, and the folk girl promises to keep her mouth shut, otherwise the sky will hit you with five thunders."

"Why don't I push you off the roof of the building and let you feel the freefall one last time."

"Stop making a fuss, what time is it?"

"I don't know." Xiao Mu took out his mobile phone and looked at it, "It's still early, it's only past 10 o'clock." ”

"What, it's past 10 o'clock, it's over, it's over, it's really over this time."

"What's wrong? Silly. ”

"The door of the main building is locked at half past nine, and now we can't go."

"Let's go down and take a look, maybe lock it later today."

"It's impossible, what time is it, it's still possible for 10 minutes and 8 minutes, it's almost an hour, and the door must be locked."

"Then let's go through the window, find a classroom on the first floor, open the window and go."

"Are you really stupid, the windows on the first floor are all burglar-proof, don't you know?"

"So what do you say?"

"I don't know."

Neither of them spoke, and the world was quiet again.

After a while, the two of you looked at me, and I looked at you, and they both laughed.

Xiao Mu said: "It's okay this time, the two big fools are chatting, and they can't go away from chatting." Looks like we're going to stay here tonight. ”

"We can't leave anyway, what are we going to do?"

"Or, give Meng Ze a call and ask him to bring some beer and cooked food, let's talk about wine here, sing to the moon, and live a long life."

"You still don't think it's shameful enough, you have to let everyone know. Besides, they went out to dinner today, and they didn't know how long they would drink. ”

"Yes, then let's just think about life here." Xiao Mu wanted to do something next, "Otherwise, I'll guess the riddle for you." ”

"Okay, let's talk about one first."

"Listen, say, there's a guy who sticks his index finger out, and then luckily slams his index finger against the wall. Hit an animal. ”

Gu Yihuai thought about it, but didn't guess, "I don't know." "Finally surrendered.

"Snakes." Xiao Mu also gestured with his hand to the snake's movements.

"Why?"

"With such great strength, I don't break my fingers (snakes) anymore."

"Cut, what a riddle this is."

"Wait, and what about this man, his fingers are broken, but he still slams it with his fingers. Also hit an animal. ”

"So is he stupid?"

"You don't care, hit an animal anyway."

Gu Yihuai still couldn't guess, so he had to raise his hand to admit defeat.

"Tiger! Tiger, know no. ”

"Why?"

"You think, your fingers are broken, and you're still scared, isn't it a tiger?"

"What do you mean by tiger?"

"You're worried about me, tiger, it's a tiger." Xiao Mu thought about it, "For example, Zhang Fei and Li Kui were shot by someone, and they hit the eye, and then they pulled out the arrow, and there were eyeballs on the arrow, he ate the eyeballs, and after eating, he picked up a knife and continued to cut people." This kind of people are collectively referred to: tigers. ”

"I think you're a tiger enough, hehehe." Gu Yihuai laughed and looked at Xiao Muqi.

The two of them just talked and laughed, leaned together when they were tired, and fell asleep unconsciously, and the sky was already dark in a blink of an eye.

There was a little chill in the morning, Gu Yihuai woke up excitedly, and Xiao Mu was also woken up by her.

Gu Yihuai rubbed his eyes, and Xiao Mu stretched.

Gu Yihuai shouted: "It's dawning, come and see, the sun is coming out over there." ”

Xiao Mu looked over, yes, behind them, on the horizon, a piece of red, and the sun was about to come out.

Today's sunset feels completely different from last night's sunset, the red of the sunset is cool, bright, and quiet. And the red of the morning sun gives people heat, excitement, and vitality.

Gu Yihuai didn't expect the sunset to be so beautiful, she has liked the sunset for so many years, and the sunset has accompanied her for many days and months. And today, she found out how beautiful and warm the morning sun is.

"We were stuck here last night, and it seemed worth it." Gu Yihuai sighed, "Otherwise, how could I see this beautiful scenery." Gu Yihuai felt that he was like this rising sun now, full of strength and vitality.

The sun finally came out, and there was a little bit of coolness just now, and all of a sudden, it was dispelled.

Gu Yihuai's face was red from the sun, and his eyes lit up. She grabbed Xiao Mu's arm, and the two quietly watched the sun rise little by little. After a while, I didn't dare to look at it directly.
