Chapter 332: The Hypnotist
Time flies.
He was about to leave when suddenly another hypnotist came.
Lianyi has always liked Nalan Rongruo's words, if life is only as first seen.
Yes, life is only as it first seems.
A 6-year-old girl tied two pigtails with a red rope, rode a small bicycle with two wheels, habitually circled three times around a telephone pole not far from her home, and then rode along Futu Street. The people of Futu Street are very fond of this quirky and cute little girl, and every time she passes by her door, they are always busy digging out all kinds of delicious and fun things from the house, putting them in bags, and hanging them in front of the little girl's car, except when she passes by the door of a small bookstore with a question number 28, the boy in the NEKE jersey gives her a copy of "The Complete Works of Nalan Xingde".
That year, Yu Ning was 9 years old and in the second grade of primary school.
She is too young, and she only recognizes her own words in the book, Nalan Rongruo's Lan.
Orchid is an orchid, she thought, Nalan should be a very beautiful orchid, right?
Mom and Dad severely criticized her, and she couldn't just take other people's things in the future! She looked up and innocently said that they had given it to me.
At that time, the little dress was a baby princess in the palm of the hands of the adults of the entire Futu Street.
Later, the jumper returned all the candy and toys to the people of Futu Street, however, the "Complete Works of Nalan Xingde" has been kept until now.
Nalan is a very beautiful flower, just like you at that time, there is no room for a little dust in your bright eyes.
In 1999, a new primary school was built on Futu Street.
The 7-year-old dress stood under the national flag, and Yu Ning carefully and solemnly tied a red scarf for her.
Since then, she has officially become a Young Pioneer, the redness at the root of the dress ear quickly spread to the nerves all over the body, she is so close to look directly at Yu Ning, who is half a head taller than her, he is really good-looking, and his delicate face is perfect as if he is a prince in a fairy tale.
The life of primary school is as vibrant as ever, every day before dawn, she rubs her eyes in a daze, and can always see Yu Ning's smile through the glass window that is brighter than the morning light, and then she gets up quickly and brushes her teeth.
Facing the warm sunshine, Jun Chao, a naughty ghost in the same class, appeared out of nowhere, deliberately looked back at her, and shouted loudly, Huang Lianyi was ashamed, and went to school with the boys.
The jumpsuit didn't hold back, so he chased after him, and the huge schoolbag made a clattering sound on his back, and he chased and chased all the way to the school.
Many years later, when we recall the ordinary old times when we were young, intentionally or unintentionally, the corners of our mouths always show a shallow arc.
A good life is always too short.
In 2002, Yu Ning was admitted to a middle school in the provincial capital, and when he left, the 10-year-old Lianyi cried into tears, and told him to go early and return early, saying that you wait for me, and I will definitely come back.
In this year, two things completely changed the life of the dresser, one was Yu Ning's departure, which made her crazy obsessed with Nalan's poetry collection; The other is that her father's car accident made her grow from an ignorant little girl to a little adult.
For the first time, she saw the cruelty of this world through her mother's eyes full of despair, the cost of expensive surgery is not something that ordinary families can afford, and whenever she sees the painful and distorted expression on her father's face, she always thinks how good it would be if all this was just a dream.
She stepped on the bicycle and removed the two wheels, she grew up, learned to ride a bicycle, and no longer needed the protection of the wheels, Futu Street still did not change, when she passed by each house, she deliberately stopped, and people would give her things as she did when she was a child, but this time, it was not toys or candy, but one by one bills.
There was pity in their eyes, take it, kid, it's not easy for your mother.
She clutched the money tightly in her hand, and when she passed the bookstore No. 28, she no longer had the courage to look back.
Yu Ning, I'm a little glad that you went to the provincial capital now, I really don't want you to see me, so embarrassed.
In the past, what Futu Street gave me was a heartfelt love for a little girl, but now what I get from Futu Street is a sympathetic and a little disdainful face.
It's really scary to grow up.
Scraping together, the money raised is still far from the cost of the operation.
Jun Chao hurriedly found the jumpsuit, pulled her to a corner where no one was, and gave her a passbook of 60,000 yuan.
He said, "Take it, don't say I gave it to you."
She didn't dare to ask for it, she looked at the red passbook stupidly, she knew that Jun Chao's family made tofu, and life was not easy.
"I stole it from my mom's bag." The boy tried his best to calm down and carefully handed the passbook into her hand.
Huang Lianyi, your father needs this money, I don't want you to cry.
Lianyi cried, Jun Chao, I won't beat you again, this money will be regarded as if I borrowed it from you, and I will pay you back in the future.
Reality is like a little ghost who loves to play tricks on people, giving people hope but always mixed with despair.
When Lianyi trembled and handed over the passbook of 60,000 yuan to the hospital, she was full of confidence that when her father got better, as long as she worked hard, life would return to the past, and nothing had happened.
However, she never imagined that the operation failed and her father would never wake up again.
My mother fainted from crying, and she was also rescued in the hospital, walking silently on the path of Futu Street in her clothes, her face expressionless, and she couldn't cry.
I heard people talk about it, Wang Junchao, the son of the Wang family, was beaten half to death by his father with a mop last night, saying that he stole his mother's passbook of 60,000 yuan and gambled with a group of young people in the town, and lost it all.
She wanted to tell those people that this wasn't the case! You've misunderstood!
But I can't say it.
Because everywhere she passed, there would always be people in every house who quickly closed the door of their house, as if they were afraid that she would rob them of their finances, and they were afraid of handouts.
When did Futu Street become unfamiliar with this world?
In 2004, at the age of 13, Lianyi was admitted to the same middle school as Yu Ning.
The family is poor, since the death of my father, my mother has changed, drinking all night until she is drunk, and when she comes home, she scolds her at every turn.
She doesn't blame her mother, no one knows better than her the pain in her mother's heart after losing her father.
Life still has to go on.
Knowledge changes fate, this sentence is often mentioned, but without money, where does knowledge come from?
She hadn't seen Yu Ning for three years and four months, and she hadn't received his heart, he had been gone for so long, except that he had left a copy of "The Complete Works of Nalan Xingde" for himself, there was nothing.
Yu Ning probably wouldn't have thought that Lian Yi spent three years memorizing the entire "Complete Works of Nalan Xingde", and when he thought of him, he read and read poetry, and let the memories of the past come to his heart little by little, greedily enjoying a moment of sweetness.
Although she knew very well that they would never go back to the way they were.
The summer vacation lasted three months and three days, and Jun Chaotuo's relatives in the city found her a part-time job, but she refused, not wanting to owe him too much favor.
At the age of 13, it was already a period of emotional ignorance, she knew it.
Lianyi thought about it, since he couldn't pay the tuition, he simply didn't go to it, and came out early to make money to support his family.
After she told her mother what she thought, she didn't want her mother to stare angrily and scold, what kind of work does a girl who only graduated from elementary school do?
Lianyi lowered his head and whispered, but Mom, there is no money at home.
"Won't the old lady who has no money still think of a way?" Mother's eyes could no longer find the soft halo of the old days, but instead a face that was tortured by life and was extremely old.
When she packed her luggage and was about to go out to work, her mother slapped her suddenly, aren't you ashamed? Our family is already contemptible enough, you don't give my wife a little more courage.
She trembled and took the money from her mother, she didn't know where her mother borrowed it.
Jumpsuit is the first time away from home.
The book "The Complete Works of Nalan Xingde" was carried.
On the same bus as Jun Chao, Jun Chao said, don't worry, no one dares to bully you when you arrive in the provincial capital.
There are only three people in Futu Town who were admitted to the provincial middle school, Yu Ning, Lian Yi and Jun Chao.
Who didn't have a hard work when they were young?
Nine years of compulsory education, the state implements free tuition and miscellaneous fees, and she was lucky to meet it.
She divided the money given by her mother into three parts, one to send back to her mother, one to pay for living expenses, and the other to buy two sets of new clothes.
The children of the city, like princesses and princes living in ivory towers, are so clean that they can't find a single blemish.
Lian Yi hopes that in the gap of three years of not seeing each other, he can appear in front of Yu Ning with the same proud attitude.
It's just that reality once again played tricks on her, and he can no longer be found in the provincial middle school that she worked so hard to get into.
He was three years older than her, and when she was a freshman in junior high school, he was a freshman in high school and was admitted to a better high school.
It's always passing by.
In the following three years of junior high school, Lianyi put all her mind on studying, maybe only in this way, she will forget all her fears, and a person will only be satisfied if she concentrates on doing a certain thing.
Jun Chao often went to see him, and there was only one staircase between the sixth class and the first class of junior high school, and ten minutes after class, he would often go to him, using various excuses, such as forgetting to bring his textbook.
Lianyi doesn't hate Jun Chao, after all, in this provincial middle school where people can't get up quickly, he is the only old man, and people are born to like nostalgic high-level animals, and her Huang Lianyi is no exception.
She was always grateful to him, and she remembered that she still owed him 60,000 yuan.
It is said that reality is sometimes extremely unfair to people, but more often, it still follows the principle of finding a more reward.
Three years later, she was admitted to the same high school as Yu Ning, but Jun Chao failed and was only admitted to the second middle school.
She felt that Yu Ning was like hoisting the sails of her sailing, and she had been walking the same path he had walked.
When parting, Jun Chao hugged her, Huang Lianyi, I really like you so much.
She smiled and said goodbye.
She is used to the days when she is only accompanied by "The Complete Works of Nalan Xingde", yes, she is a freshman in high school, Yu Ning should go to college, for six years, she misses him, that teenager, how is it now?
Yu Ning was not admitted to university, but just passed the admission line of the junior college and spent a lot of money to enter an ordinary junior college.
For the first time in six years, he called her.
