After dinner, Yan's mother suddenly thought that the seasoning for cooking at home was about to run out, so she took Yan's father to a Chinese supermarket to replenish the stock.

Su Xiaoxiao originally wanted to go with her, but Yan's mother insisted that she enjoy the weekend at home, and it would be hard to prepare for the final exam when she returned to school next week. Su Xiaoxiao had to stay at home obediently and Yan Yimo.

When Yan's mother left, she didn't forget to give Yan Yimo a look, so that he could make good use of the time when the two were alone. Yan Yimo couldn't cry or laugh, and waved them to pay attention to safety on the road.

With such a powerful mother, he felt funny and helpless.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it, and after Yan's mother and father left, she followed Yan Yimo upstairs to the study.

Yan Yimo was very interested in astronomy when he was a child, so there are many books about astronomy at home. Su Xiaoxiao casually picked a book with a beautiful cover, and sat in the corner of the sofa to read it, ready to expand his knowledge.

'The Big Dipper is made up of seven bright stars in the constellation Ursa Major. In the northern sky, it is arranged in a bucket shape. ’

Seeing the introduction of the Big Dipper, Su Xiaoxiao tilted his head with interest and studied the Big Dipper chart in the book.

The Big Dipper Chart was connected into the shape of a curved spoon, and Su Xiaoxiao looked at it vigorously, and muttered to himself, "I don't know what they look like in the sky now." ”

This casual whisper was heard by Yan Yimo, he got up and walked to Su Xiaoxiao's side, helped her put the blanket that was about to slip off again, sat next to her, and asked gently, "Do you want to see it?" The weather is nice today and you should be able to see the Big Dipper. ”

"Huh? Can you really see it? Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in surprise, and she stood up from the carpet at once, "I want to see it!" ”

"Okay," Yan Yimo pointed to an astronomical telescope placed by the window, and gestured to Su Xiaoxiao, "Let's try." ”

Yan Yimo asked Su Xiaoxiao to stand in front of the astronomical telescope, and he hugged Su Xiaoxiao's shoulders from behind and helped her adjust the angle of the telescope.

Su Xiaoxiao used an astronomical telescope to look at the stars for the first time at home, nervous and expectant, her eyes stared at the sky in the telescope, and she was reluctant to blink. At this time, the sky was dark blue like a wash, and the stars hung high in the sky.

"See those bright stars together? That's the Big Dipper. ”

Yan Yimo whispered in Su Xiaoxiao's ear.

Su Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of the telescope, and there were really a few stars dazzling in the sky, shining like fireflies. If you look at them a little closer, you will see that they are connected in the shape of a curved spoon, which looks exactly like the one drawn in the book just now.

"Ah, I see it! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,..." Su Xiaoxiao counted one by one, "Hey? How do you feel that there is one more, and there is a particularly bright star next to the Big Dipper, a little brighter than all of them. ”

"Really?" Su Xiaoxiao took the initiative to give the telescope to Yan Yimo, and Yan Yimo leaned over, "I'll take a look." ”

A little above the Big Dipper, there is really a shining star, extending from the direction of the two stars at the head of the Big Dipper to the direction of the spoon mouth.

"It's the North Star." Yan Yimo gave the telescope back to Su Xiaoxiao, and explained carefully, "The two stars near it are the first and second stars of the Big Dipper, called Tianshu and Tianxuan. ”

"It's so beautiful," Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh, her eyes sparkling, "Then apart from Tianshu and Tianxuan, what are the remaining five stars called?" ”

"Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Shaguang."

Yan Yimo didn't bother at all, and reported it all in one go.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him adoringly and nodded, as if he didn't understand, thinking that he would never be able to recite the names of these stars.

"Mr. Yi, you are really knowledgeable, I want to learn from you."

Su Xiaoxiao put down the binoculars, ran back to pick up the book he had just read, and ran back to stand by the floor-to-ceiling window. "You read the book and it says that every star has its own meaning."

Su Xiaoxiao read the words in the book seriously, without dropping a word, "Starting from the spoon handle, the first is the star of strength, the second is the star of wisdom, the third is the star of courage, the fourth represents love, the fifth is the star of happiness, the sixth is the star of calamity, and the seventh star represents rebirth after the catastrophe." ”

When he read the sixth star, Su Xiaoxiao's voice was slightly regretful, "Well, I thought the seven stars were all good stars, but the sixth star is so pitiful, it is given the meaning of disaster." I didn't expect the stars to have a different fate. ”

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was depressed because of the name of a star, Yan Yimo smiled and looked at the flickering stars in the distance, and then turned around and looked at Su Xiaoxiao seriously, "But it is because of the sixth star that you will feel the beauty of the seventh star being reborn after the catastrophe." ”

Su Xiaoxiao stared deeply into Yan Yimo's dark and deep eyes and nodded.

It seems to be the truth.

Without the dark， we'd never see the stars.

Although the candy is sweet, the sweetness of the bitter gourd seems to be good.

I looked greedily at the stars for a while. The weather was getting cooler at night, and Su Xiaoxiao was pulled back to the room by Yan Yimo, her eyes were still full of reluctance. I agreed with Yan Yimo that we must go camping in the mountains together during the next meteor shower, and then make a wish to the stars.

"Okay."

The stars were shining in the distance, and it was another beautiful night.
