Chapter 70 There is no shortage of money and no heart
Today is December 24th, Christmas Eve, tomorrow is Christmas Day, and it is also the start day of the third round of the Classic.
After dinner, Lao Huang told us to have a good rest, and then offered to send Xiaorong to work again, but after she refused, he left alone.
Xiao Rong asked me to take her home, and I thought about it and agreed, because I really wanted to go out for a walk.
There was no moon tonight, but the street to the bus station, which had been deserted and deserted, was very lively today, with countless stalls selling apples, flowers, gifts, and some kind of shame on both sides of the street, and the small vendors with their necks shrunk were shouting passionately.
"Boy, a dozen!?" An uncle graciously handed me a box of ultra-thin.
I coughed a few times in embarrassment and said, "Eh, I don't need uncle, I don't need it for the time being." ”
The uncle said with a look of pity: "It's not there yet, young man, you have to work harder!" ”
Xiao Rong stomped his foot angrily on the side, snorted coldly and sped up his pace, leaving me far behind.
I hurriedly chased after her, and saw that her red little face was like a small apple, and I wanted to adjust the atmosphere, so I quipped: "Do you know why so many people sell TT on Christmas Eve?" ”
Xiao Rong snorted: "I don't know! ”
"Because Apple's English name is 'Hit by the Cannon'! Hahaha...... "I laughed, but found that I was the only one laughing, Xiao Rong didn't react at all, and the atmosphere suddenly became more embarrassing.
Well, I admit that the joke was very cold, and I didn't bother to speak, so I walked beside Xiao Rong, passing by a couple of couples, all of whom were intimate and hugging each other, only Xiao Rong and I were always separated by a kind of interval, which seemed out of place on this lively street.
"I vaguely remember Christmas Eve last year, it was snowing." My eyes were looking into the distance, and I didn't even know where I was looking.
"You're mistaken, last year, it didn't snow until a few days before the Chinese New Year." Xiao Rong replied to me.
"Maybe." I said, "But do you remember, when we were in junior high school, the first snow fell almost every year on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve. ”
Xiao Rong turned her head sideways and looked at me deeply, she suddenly sighed: "Dashuai, why are you like this, you can't go back to junior high school, why are you always immersed in the memories of junior high school." ”
"It's because I can't go back!" I felt something in my heart being touched: "That's why I can only rely on memories......"
She stared at me tightly and said, "Dashuai, let me ask you a question. ”
"What's the problem?"
"You...... Is she really what people guessed at the time, princess...... With frogs? ”
I smiled wryly, "A frog can become a prince, but I ...... We're just friends. ”
"Just friends?"
"Just friends."
Xiao Rong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and actually joked again: "I think I should be the only one in the class who knows why you became friends." ”
I said helplessly: "You still have a smile on your face, it's not because of your brick." ”
We had already walked to the bus station, and before the bus came, we sat on the benches at the station and waited.
"You know what?" Xiao Rong gave his hand a sigh, and bursts of "mist" slipped through her fingers: "I almost thought that the two of you were really together, because I always saw you and her sitting on the bench on the street on the way home, just like we are now, and you always look at her side face stupidly, you think she doesn't know, but in fact she knows everything." ”
I was stunned: "You...... How do you know that she knows I'm looking at her sideways? ”
"Idiot! Because she was nervous! When a person is very nervous, her hand will involuntarily make some small movements, and it is normal for you not to know, because you sit on her left every time, and every time she is nervous, her right hand will can't help but pinch the corner of her own skirt and keep wrapping it......"
I remembered the side of her face at sunset that day, and it suffocated me.
She knows, she knows! She knew I was watching her!! She's nervous, she's nervous about what!? It was as if a book of 100,000 whys had exploded in my head, and it felt like 500 hornets were buzzing in my head.
But soon, Xiao Rong's next sentence made me feel like pouring a basin of cold water, and I suddenly woke up.
"I almost thought that the two of you were really together, until that day at KTV, when you and Tu Yong fought."
Tu Yong...... Yes, the boy who fought with me was Tu Yong, and the boy who took away her first love...... It's also Tu Yong!
"You fought with Tu Yong for her, but I seemed to see that she was angry with you and rushed out of the door. And not long after, I heard the news that she and Tu Yong were together, which made me feel like ...... In the same way as in the gambling? ”
Anger...... Angry who? Me? I do not know.
She's not going to stop for the scenery on the side of the road, but what if it's me? Will she stay for me? Even if it's just for a moment?
A bus slowly drove in the distance, it was the car that Xiao Rong was waiting for, she stood up and tidied up her clothes.
"Why are you telling me this?" I closed my eyes, trying to restrain something.
"Because I want you to know her more clearly, know yourself, I hope you don't indulge in the memories of the past all day long, no matter how beautiful the memories are, they are only the past, everything starts now."
Xiao Rong stepped on the bus and left.
I sat alone on a bench at the bus stop for a long, long time.
I suddenly felt helpless and hopeless. I don't know what I'm helpless about, there are so many people around me, but they are all far away, far away.
I suddenly wanted to call home, and I thought so, and I did.
It was my brother who answered the call, yes, I have a younger brother, but he is ten months and eight months younger than me.
It's a very magical age difference, and I've seen him grow from a babbling baby crawling on the ground to a teenager who hates to study just as much as I did back then.
He has always respected me, or rather, he is afraid of me. If I had to say why, I would have threatened him with spicy strips when he was a child.
"Brother!" I hadn't seen him for a long time, and his voice had changed a little.
I said, "Xi Xiaoshuai, have you finished your homework?" ”
"I'm done!" Xi Xiaoshuai was a little happy, because I hadn't talked to him for a long time. I vaguely heard my mother's voice beside him: "Is it handsome?" Is it handsome? Say it quickly, tell me when you're done! ”
"Brother! Happy Christmas Eve! Happy Christmas tomorrow too! He said.
A warm current flowed through my heart: "Well, you too." ”
The phone over there changed hands, and my mother took the phone: "Hey, is it handsome?" Isn't there a shortage of money!? ”
My eyes blurred instantly, this is Mom, this is Mom! Every time I take the initiative to call home, her first sentence is always to ask me if I am short of money, because in her heart, I will never grow up, and I will always be the little kid who asks for money to buy toys behind her!
"Mom!" My tears fell, and the man didn't flick his tears, but he didn't feel sad. Hearing the voice of this mother, who broke my heart, what are my tears?
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is there a lack of money? Say it, if you're short of money, I'll ask your dad to call you. Mom's voice was a little anxious.
I wiped my tears, sorted out my emotions, and said, "I'm not short of money......"
"You're not short of money, you're short of heart? This stupid boy! You don't want your dad to give you money! Mom's tone was visibly relaxed.
"Dad...... Is Dad okay? ”
"It's not like that, come back once a few months, hey, to be honest, if it weren't for Xiao Shuai, I really don't know how to live here, Da Shuai, you ...... How many days off do you have for the New Year? Are you coming back for the Chinese New Year? ”
I smiled and said, "Isn't it so long before the Chinese New Year, a month or two away!" ”
"Isn't it good for me to have a hope, and I can count how many days you will come back every day...... Dashuai, if you really can't do it, don't go to work there when you come back, I see that you are always very busy, and you don't even have the time to call home, your father and I will sum up, how about giving you some money to open a store? ”
My nose was sore, and my vision began to blur again: "Mom! Don't worry about me about this, I'm doing a good job now, really, there's someone to cook for us or something, the salary is ...... The salary is not high for the time being, but it will definitely increase in the future, so don't worry! ”
The old mother on the other side of the phone obviously hesitated for a while, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about the work for now, when will I find a daughter-in-law!?" ”
"Oh my God! I've only graduated for half a year, and you're thinking about your daughter-in-law!? This is really in response to the old saying, when I was studying, I did everything I could to cut off our early love seedlings, and then as soon as I graduated, I thought about letting us fall from the sky, how could this be possible! ”
"Good, good! Let's not talk about the object! The old mother said: "I'll tell you which relatives will come to our house for the New Year this year, and they are likely to ask you these questions at that time, including your eldest aunt, your second aunt, your third aunt, your little aunt, your eldest aunt, your second aunt, your eldest aunt, your little aunt, your aunt, your cousin, ......."
"Gotta gotta gotcha!! Mom, I was wrong! Why don't you talk to me about the subject......"
