Chapter Twenty-Three: Fan Ya's Recent Anxiety (I)
It was another Sunday afternoon, and Fan Ya was in her window, with her elbows against the windowsill and her chin in her hands, lying on the windowsill like this, her eyes looking at the sea in the distance.
The blue sea is sparkling, the sun is shining on the sea, and the sea surface is like a broken golden jade, which makes people can't help but feel an inexplicable pity.
Slowly, the wind rose, and the wind became stronger and stronger, and the waves gradually became larger, and wave after wave chased wave after wave. The spray was white, and it seemed to be a piece of silk fluttering in the wind. The waves pushed the waves, some of them rolled for a while and then disappeared, and some hit the reef on the shore with a "bang-la-bang" sound.
The blue sea is still there, and the waves are still jubilant. But Fan Ya had mixed feelings in her heart, and just now, after a month, the three good partners around her transferred to another and left.
Grandma first went to Uncle Qin's shop, put her own eggs to sell at him, and bought some salt by the way. As soon as he came back, he told Fan Ya that Yao Laiqian had gone to the private school in the county to report this afternoon.
As soon as she heard the news, Fan Ya was silent at first, and there was an inexplicable panic in her heart, like a hundred claws scratching her heart, and her eyes were slightly red. Just lying motionless on the windowsill all the time.
Grandma didn't have time to take care of her sentimental granddaughter, who was busy cutting old vegetable leaves that no one else wanted, and preparing to cook them and feed them to the pigs at night.
Fan Ya didn't know how long she had been lying on the windowsill, but she felt that her two elbows hurt a little at this moment, her arms and palms were also sore and uncomfortable, and her neck and back seemed to be stiff.
Just stand up and move your muscles and bones, think about it, let's go to Li Yang! Tell her the bad news.
When I arrived at Li Yang's house, I saw Li Yang's mother bowing her head and sitting on a broken sofa cushion thrown away by someone else's house at the door (I don't know where Uncle Li picked it up. She was weaving a fishing net in her hands, and at her feet was a broken basin containing a clump of thread and a shuttle for weaving the net, one on each side of her, and a special low middle grinded a little concave, which looked a bit like an old wooden bench.
Li Yang's father, covered in mud, was sitting on a small bench, bowing his head and bending over a stone slab in the courtyard. With his left hand, which was born without finger disabilities, he slowly pulled one small conch after another, and in his right hand he was pounding the small conch with an iron hammer, and there was a large basin containing the mashed conch beside it.
Li Yang sat on a small bench near her father, looking down at conch and other groceries in a red plastic bucket, and on the large stone slab in front of her were large and small bowls, some with small crabs, some enlarged conch, some shellfish rainbows, and some wild seaweed.
The family is happy together, with a face full of happiness, constantly busy with work, talking about something, and laughing when it comes to happiness.
Fan Ya was very envious when she saw Li Yang and their happy family. couldn't bear to break this beautiful scene, she looked at it and enjoyed it very much, as if she saw herself and her parents sitting at the door of her house chatting happily. He stood far away like this, and he never spoke.
"Ahh
When Li Yang's family heard the sudden sneezing, they all followed the sound and saw that it was Fan Ya who came.
"Fan Ya! Come here! Help me pick up the seafood together, and we'll have a big meal together. Li Yang warmly invited.
"Fan Ya! Come here! You're not welcome to be good friends!" Li Yang's mother also urged.
"Fan Ya! Come on, wait for Li Yang to cook the seafood and eat it with us, the fresh seafood that my uncle just picked up at noon. Li Yang's father walked over as he spoke, holding a hammer in his right hand, and stretched out his disabled left hand stained with conch juice, just wanting to push Fan Ya over.
Fan Ya subconsciously took a step back by reflex, knowing that she didn't mind Uncle Li's personality, so she walked towards Li Yang.
Li Yang's mother saw it: "Daddy! How many times have you said it, don't touch others if your hands are dirty, why don't you change it! What a two-hundred-five! "Li Yang's mother is very helpless about the old man's stinky problem.
Li Yang's mother had been sitting and weaving nets for a while, and she felt a little tired, so she wanted to go to bed and lie down for a while. After speaking, he took the small benches on both sides with both hands, pressed them on the indentation, and with each move of the small bench, he dragged his legs, which had atrophied from polio, and the seemingly empty trouser legs, and slowly crawled into the house.
"Daddy! Pay attention next time. Li Yang also reminded his father in time.
"Hey-hey-hey-hey!" Li Yang's father smirked embarrassedly and continued to pound the conch
"It's okay! Uncle! Aunt! Li Yang! I don't mind, you don't care! You're welcome! Eat at your house in the evening, I haven't eaten these things for a long time. Fan Ya said it generously, squatting next to Li Yang, picking up conches together. Hurriedly asked Li Yang: "Uncle! Don't you work in the mountains every day, and you have time to pick up seafood today? ”
"When our family eats, as long as there are no side dishes for the meal at home, my mother will ask my father to go to the beach to pick up some seafood and get something to make a tooth sacrifice. Today's tide is high, and there are many seafood picked up, and Dad is every time, as long as it is a conch, no matter how big or small it is, he has to pick it up. No, my mother asked me to pick out the small conch and let my father mash it, marinate it with some salt, put it in a jar and eat it slowly. Li Yang didn't finish speaking in one breath with Fan Ya.
"I think it's good for your family to do this, it's cheap and delicious. My grandmother was busy worrying about her pigs, the chickens and ducks that lay eggs, and rarely bothered to get these seafoods. In the interval, my cousins and aunts would bring some fresh fish, and my grandmother would pickle it and dry it, and our family would either eat salted dried fish or pickled vegetables every day. Fan Ya was a little envious of Li Yang, who could often eat these fresh seafood......
Just like that, two good friends, you and I started to pull the family routine. Suddenly, Fan Ya remembered the purpose of coming to Li Yang, so she asked, "Do you know?" Yao Laiqian went in the afternoon, the county private school reported. ”
"Oh! I heard Yao mention it two days ago, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, so I went to report it this afternoon. Li Yang said lightly.
"Yao Laiqian is gone, don't you want him?" Fan Ya didn't expect Li Yang to be so calm.
"I think so! But no, I'm busy every day, and I have time to think about it so much. Besides, Yao Laiqian will come back every weekend when he goes to school in the county, and we can still play together, so what is there to worry about. Li Yang analyzed it to Fan Ya.
"Then you don't want Xiao Jing and Liao Xixi?" Fan Ya didn't believe it, Li Yang didn't think about them.
"Xiao Jing going back is her best destination, anyway, if she doesn't come back, it's useless to think about it, so don't worry about it, bother thinking about her. Liao Xixi is in the city, won't she come back during the New Year's holidays? When the time comes, we can still play together, so we don't have to worry so much!" Li Yang said it lightly, in her opinion, this is just a very simple matter, but Fan Ya thinks about it too complicated, and it feels as if the sky is about to fall.
Hearing this, Fan Ya stared at Li Yang with big eyes, thinking: Li Yang! You're too heartless!
"What! Staring at me like this, my heart is furious when I see it. Ah! They transfer schools, you see! Didn't our class also transfer a new classmate Jia Jiajia this semester, I see you, aren't you still very good with her! So it's not a big deal to transfer schools, even if you don't separate now, when you grow up, you go to high school, and college is not going your separate ways. Li Yang didn't care whether Fan Ya listened to it or not, and said a lot: "Alas! Maybe one day Qin Xiaoyan will also transfer schools, and maybe you will also transfer schools. I don't sit and do nothing every day, just thinking about you! I still have to live for my mom and dad, don't you think? Li Yang sighed and added another paragraph, it is not easy to enlighten good friends.
"I won't transfer schools, and if anyone transfers, I can't transfer schools." Fan Ya only heard Li Yang say that she would transfer schools and vetoed it, and said a lot of other things to Li Yang, Fan Ya didn't want to hear it at all.
"Don't say it's too early, who knows what will happen later." Li Yang disagrees with Fan Ya's view.
