Volume 1 Budding Feelings Chapter 19 Parents Returning Home
Gu Xinyuan ran lightly, only feeling that every step he took was like stepping on the air, the hot wind whistling in his ears, and in an instant, he flew into the cornfield. Since the dozen or so rows of corn stalks in the middle of the cornfield have been uprooted, so they can look directly from the south to the north, and in the shade of the southernmost tree, several people can be faintly seen sitting together, as if they are talking, her heart became more and more excited, she took a deep breath, and stepped on the potholed and flat dirt with one foot, and every step would step on the small pit on the ground or the corn cobs scattered everywhere, and every time she would be shaken. When she reached the three-quarters of the cornfield, she slowed down, quietly straightened the hair that was messily stuck to her forehead, adjusted her expression, pretended not to care about anything, suppressed the excitement that tickled her whole heart, and walked slowly.
"Don't cry later!" Gu Xinyuan muttered in his heart, "Otherwise, it will be too embarrassing!" Yes, I'm a sixth-grader, and I'm going to middle school next year, so I can't cry! β
Walking three or four meters away from the crowd, she saw her grandmother crying and saying something with a thin woman in a black sweatshirt and a high ponytail on her head, while her younger brother Gu Pan was playing square cards with his peers in the village on the side, and he still looked smiling when he lost the cards - look at the new T-shirt on his body, it should be a gift brought back by his parents.
"I know, you've suffered all these years, Feifei!"
"Mom, I'm not bitter, I just don't feel like I can see the child, it's uncomfortable! In the past two years, because of too much rain, the vegetables can't be grown, and I can't send money back with Da Niu, hey! β
"It's okay, I'm not here with your dad, we can hold on, don't you think the child is very good!"
"Don't cry! You see our daughters are here! It's a heart, right? Gu Daniu recognized his daughter immediately, and her big eyes and small mouth looked exactly like her daughter-in-law.
"Hey! Come wipe your tears! Li Feifei wiped her tears while beckoning her granddaughter to come over and get close to her daughter-in-law and said, "Come, come here, call Mom!" β
Gu Xinyuan stood a little embarrassed, and let her grandmother pull her to Wu Feifei's side, she just stood so restrainedly, neither calling her mother, nor even looking directly at her face, only sneaking a few glances when everyone was not paying attention.
"Mom's face looks almost exactly like the person in a photo hanging in Grandpa's house!" Gu Xinyuan secretly muttered with some curiosity in his heart: "Although it is exactly the same, it is obvious that they are two people, and I don't know what the relationship between the two people is?" β
"What's wrong, Xinyuan?" Wu Feifei stretched out his hand and grabbed Gu Xinyuan's hand, showed a big smile, and said with a sigh: "You see that you have grown so big, hey, I think when I first went out with your father, you were still so young!" Woo-woo-"
Gu Daniu's eyes turned red and said: "Hey, if this is not really poor, there is no need to go out to work and farm, begging for food outside always feels the same as asking for food." β
"Xinyuan, look at how thin your mother is for you and your brother, you must study hard! If you don't study hard, how can you be worthy of your parents working so hard? Li Feicui wiped away her tears as she spoke.
Wu Feifei glanced at Gu Xinyuan expectantly, and then sighed at her mother-in-law's words: "That's right! Although we are poor, you have to fight for breath, and only after studying hard can you have a good life! If you have a profit, you can make a lot of money, and you don't have to work so hard every day like your mother! β
Looking at the grandmother and mother with tears on their faces, and listening to their mother's sincere words, Gu Xinyuan's emotions were also infected, his eyes turned red, and he choked up and nodded in response.
Gu Dade frowned and sighed: "Tsk, have you been so waterlogged over there in the past two years?" Your mother and I have been worried about you for the past two years! No news either. Ay! After complaining and talking with concern, he changed the topic and said, "By the way, how long can you stay at home this time?" β
"We'd like to write back too! I can't help it, hey! Gu Daniu took his father's words, "We won't stay long this time, just about a week!" β
The conversation between several people lasted for more than an hour, until Gu Xinyuan said that there was still a class in the afternoon, and everyone went home together and had a casual meal.
During this week, Gu Xinyuan had a very happy time, and the conflict between him and Yin Chong was naturally reconciled as if it had never happened.
Happy times always flow very fast, and the week passes quickly.
"After all, it's good to see each other, not to mention that my parents also brought back several clothes and a few pairs of shoes for my brother and me, and said that they would send money to my grandmother to buy winter padded jackets for my brother and me in two or three months! If you're still asking for anything else, you're willful! Gu Xinyuan reminded herself over and over again in her heart that she couldn't be willful, but when she thought that her parents, who came back at this point in time, would definitely not come back for the Chinese New Year this year, her mood became uncontrollably sad.
At less than five o'clock in the morning, the parents got up to pack their things and prepare to go to the station, although their movements were very light, but Gu Xinyuan, who had always slept deeply, still woke up. She pretended to be still asleep and secretly opened her eyes while her family wasn't looking. She looked at her mother, who was busy packing her luggage, and felt a sore heart, and her chest was a little out of breath all of a sudden.
"Gone, still gone! There's no way around it! Gu Xinyuan waited motionlessly for his parents to go out, and comforted himself with himself, "Mom and Dad still have to earn money, I have to be obedient." It's okay, it's okay to be uncomfortable for a while anyway, haven't my parents been around me all the time? Aren't I fine now? Yes, it's okay, go to sleep! β
"Hmm...... Woo...... Hmmm......" Gu Xinyuan was immersed in a dream full of sadness, moaning in pain for help, but her throat couldn't make a sound, and the heavy sadness slowly turned into a huge mountain, pressing on her chest, taking away her breath little by little, soaked in lonely sadness like an boundless, black cover, almost covering all the light, making her unable to move even if she wanted to. She struggled to grasp something, but her limbs did not respond to her anxious heart as if they could not receive the signal at all, and only bitter tears slowly flowed from her eyes until they slipped into her ears. In a trance, she felt a hot, somewhat prickly thing rubbing against the corner of her eye, and the gentle power from the slightly tingling touch pulled her out of the sadness that she could not break free from. She slowly opened her eyes, only to realize that it was the spotted cat who was licking her tears.
"Are you comforting me?" Gu Xinyuan reluctantly pulled out a grateful smile and gently scratched Mimi's chin, "Thank you!" β
Mimi meows as if answering her master's question, and then squints her eyes and makes a 'woo-woo' sound, while immersing herself in the gentle touch of her master.
Gu Xinyuan heard Mimi's response, saw its response full of tenderness, and hugged it to his face, whimpering and crying. As if fully understanding the owner's grief, the spotted cat let her hold it motionlessly......
After lunch, on the way to school-
Her parents had been gone for most of the day, and Gu Xinyuan was still immersed in a lingering sadness, swaying the text that had been written in her hand, she took a deep breath and forced herself to quickly adjust her mood. At this moment, she saw a child in front of her holding a young daughter's hand and swaying from side to side, seemingly very happy. At that moment, she felt that her heart was a little blocked, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, frowned uncontrollably, and comforted herself: "Actually, it's okay, at least I feel a little better than when I was sick!" β
"Yo! Gu Xinyuan, your clothes are good! Yin Hongmei reluctantly praised Gu Xinyuan, and immediately changed to a posture of finding fault, and said in a sour tone: "Is this the reason why you took leave and didn't go to school yesterday?"
"It's none of your business!" Gu Xinyuan didn't want to explain anything, after all, she did ask for leave because her parents took her to the county seat together, but she followed not only to buy clothes, but also because she wanted to stay with her parents for a while.
"Humph! Just don't go to school for beautiful clothes? You're vain! β
"I can do whatever I want, does it have anything to do with you?"
"You really bite Lu Dongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people!"
"I didn't think you were kind!" Gu Xinyuan didn't mean to give in at all.
"You-" Yin Hongmei frowned a little suspiciously, looked at Gu Xinyuan's face full of sorrow, was stunned for a while, changed her momentum that was still tense a second ago, and asked with concern: "You, are you okay?" β
"I'm fine," Gu Xinyuan frowned a little incomprehensibly when he saw that the other party's tone was so gentle, "What can I do?" β
"But how do you feel like you're not the same as usual? You don't usually bother with me so much! How weird! Are you really okay? Don't you have a lot of colds? You can't have a fever, right? β
"I'm not sick! I haven't submitted my essay yet, so I'll have to send it to the teacher later! Gu Xinyuan quickened his pace as he spoke, and then muttered angrily: "Anyway, you won't just help me send the text!" β
"It's really a defeat for you," Yin Hongmei glanced at Gu Xinyuan and whispered, "Give me the text!" β
"Huh?" Gu Xinyuan raised his head in disbelief and looked at Yin Hongmei like he was looking at some rare beast.
Yin Hongmei looked at Gu Xinyuan's sad feelings, how much guessed the reason for the other party's abnormality, recalled the days when her mother was not around, and couldn't help but sympathize with her with a soft heart, but she didn't want to make too many concessions, so she said arrogantly and toughly: "No way, I'll serve you alone once!" β
"Oh! Here you go! β
"Hmm!"
"Thank you!"
"Hmm!"
The two of them didn't say any more nonsense, and went to school together.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the afternoon, in composition classβ
Before Liu Feng officially started the composition class, he asked the students who wrote the composition well to come up and read their own composition.
"Before reading, I would like to praise a classmate, although she is late, but the composition is very emotional, the page is neat and neat, and the font is neat, which is very in line with the teacher's requirements. This classmate is Gu Xinyuan. Next, please read her essay, either on stage or from your seat. β
Gu Xinyuan was stunned for a moment, then became nervous all of a sudden, stood up abruptly and took the composition text that the teacher asked other students to pass over, and held the homework book a little stiffly, and began to read it word by word.
"The title of my essay is "Unforgettable Day", and today, I ...... "Gu Xinyuan began to read her own composition, which was written about her own sad mood when her parents left in the morning.
When reading the composition, Gu Xinyuan thought that he was just very nervous, but as he read it, he suddenly felt that he couldn't read the words on the notebook clearly, and in confusion, one or two drops of water dripped onto the composition, and suddenly soaked the words written with a pen.
"Huh?! What's going on? Gu Xinyuan stared blankly at the water droplets on the notebook, and his brain didn't react for a while.
"Heart?" Yin Zhong called out to Gu Xinyuan softly.
"Huh?!" Gu Xinyuan agreed, turned his head to look at Yin Chong blankly, and said blankly, "What's wrong?" β
"You," Yin Chong looked at the girl with tears on her face, felt distressed, and quickly took out a small packet of toilet paper from the desk drawer and handed it to the girl to brush away the sad tears, but when he saw her slightly frowning brow, he immediately reacted, stuffed the paper into the girl's hand, lowered his head with a slightly red face, and whispered: "Don't read it!" β
"I, I," as soon as Gu Xinyuan opened her mouth to speak, she found that her voice was no longer out of tune, and her emotions were even more uncontrollable, biting her lower lip, she said sadly: "Teacher, I'm sorry, I-"
"It's okay, no need to keep reading!" After Liu Feng motioned for Gu Xinyuan to sit down, he said earnestly: "Students, the teacher wants to tell you that a good essay, in addition to the basic things I gave you, must also have real emotions, otherwise no matter how bells and whistles the writing is, even if it can get into the reader's eyes, it will not be able to enter the reader's heart." A good piece of work is not only judged by how ornate its rhetoric is or how many techniques are used. The teacher thinks so, as long as it can move people's hearts, it is a good work. Now you haven't read enough books, and the logic of language is not so meticulous, as long as you write with feelings, you will definitely be able to write good things. As soon as his tone changed, he frowned, pursed his mouth, and made a look of hating iron but not steel, and teased in a relaxed tone: "But, before that, the first thing you have to ensure is that the sentences are smooth, and there are many of you who are not smooth in sentences." Tell me, the sentences don't make sense, how do you express your feelings? However, the composition of your class is quite good, and the composition written by one of my previous students is simply unreadable, as if keeping a running account. Just like that, today I had breakfast, breakfast was steamed buns and spicy soup, the buns were filled with meat, and the spicy soup was a little spicy...... Oh my God! β
Liu Feng performed exaggeratedly, attracting all the attention of the students in the class at once, and the students laughed loudly. He has always been a responsible and good teacher, and he can't bear to let this sad girl continue to bathe in everyone's doubtful gaze when he can't see his students crying......
