Chapter 54: Away from the Beloved
On the afternoon of Hua Lone's "search for death" at home, the school officially issued a notice, requiring teachers to organize registration to determine the number of people in each class, as well as the number of different sizes required for school celebration clothing.
Hua Lone, who came to school the next day, heard the news and laughed.
is even more frustrated by the inexplicable grievances he has received.
For her, the news was just an afternoon late, or rather, why did she mention this matter to her family in advance, was her mouth so fast?
Hua Lin didn't come to school yesterday, and her size was missing, so the group leader came to register her SML, or Xl?
"Don't you know what size of clothes you buy?"
This question embarrassed Hua Lonely, she always wore second-hand clothes eliminated by her sister, and rarely bought clothes, where do you know how to distinguish these?
"XL certainly not." The team leader ruled out one for her first.
Hua Lin is not the thinnest, and neither is naturally S.
"I don't know if it's M or L." Hua Lin was hesitant.
Contrary to Hua Lone's expectations, the group leader seemed to understand her confusion.
"I can sometimes wear M and L sometimes. Why don't you think about it if you used to wear M. Otherwise, I'll look at your clothes, the back label..."
Where is there any label on the clothes worn by Hua Lin now, she hurriedly dodged it, and decisively covered an L, no matter what, it's better to be older than small and uncomfortable.
The group leader let it go.
Hua Lin couldn't help but sigh, as if she had escaped some trouble, and only then did she feel safe and secure at this moment.
The reason for such a sensitive and fragile heart is "poverty".
But Hua Lin has never complained about the "poverty" of her family, and she has never complained about the dilemma of her family reaching out to her aunt "to stretch out her clothes and eat them".
She's just very sad, and there doesn't seem to be "love" in the house.
However, one window closes and another opens.
Between classes, when I passed by the front door and walked past her place, someone casually asked why she didn't come to class yesterday.
Suya asked.
Wang Lei asked.
Cheng Xian asked.
Zhang Wenli asked.
Even the classmate Jiang who reminded him "Dad, I'm back" before also asked.
It made her feel like she was cared for.
Of course, she didn't tell the truth, so she vaguely said that there was something at home that was perfunctory.
Even if it's just such a shallow concern, it's enough to give her a sweetness.
She felt guilty and regretful, complaining that she had easily immersed herself in the demonic context and done something foolish.
If she had successfully said goodbye to the world at that time, she would not have known that there were still people who remembered her.
When she got home, she told the two adults in the family about the school's notice that the school uniform was free, and her father only snorted coldly, and did not answer, as if the result was the same for him whether it was free or not, and he wouldn't give money anyway, whatever it was.
In this situation, my mother didn't say anything more.
The matter seems to be out of the way.
It didn't take long for the clothes to come down.
Unlike other students, Hua Lin has expectations for it, no matter the style, shape, color, style, it is always a new dress.
But she is too naΓ―ve, how brilliant can the mass-produced clothes organized by the school be?
Sure enough, the dark jujube color, the long-sleeved shirt is also printed with a huge school emblem on the front and back, not the name is another version of the school uniform, but there are four more big characters "Centennial School Celebration" on the back than the school uniform, at best it is a commemorative shirt, but anyone with a good family background will never wear it daily.
At that time, even as soon as I got it, the classmates unanimously complained, "It's ugly, it's ugly." β
If it weren't for the school's mandatory requirements, I'm afraid no one would wear it on the day of the school anniversary.
Hua Lin took it home and found that this L-size ultra-loose long T was still a bit too big for her.
Shoulders are a little wider.
When Hua Lone's father saw it, he mocked: "It's really stupid, I don't know if it's such a simple thing as buying big and buying small, what use it will be in the future." β
Obviously, those who don't know are not at fault, and Hua Lin is also very aggrieved in her heart.
Besides, does it have to be suppressed like this?
In the face of her father's anger, Hua Lin only talked back in her heart, and was categorically silent on the surface.
Dad seemed to change his mind and thought of something, and his attitude hardened, and he said:
"I don't think it's right, I just said that I would pay money before, why did I beat you up and immediately become a collar of clothes without money? You'd better not let me find out that you don't change your life, what kind of conspiracy and trickery you want to cheat money, I tell you that if you are found by me again, if you don't die by yourself, I will beat you to death! β
How could Dad have such an association?
And her mother looked at her with suspicion in her eyes.
The little girl who listened to this speech was even more trembling, frightened, and unable to defend herself.
Fortunately, maybe it was because of the beating, as if it was an advance in advance, and my parents just warned me and didn't dig into it.
A long time ago, she envied Lin Shuyu, who was also a freight driver, and her father had a similar level of education, but Shuyu could be spoiled as a little princess, and her father was always not at home, she envied this kind of "safe distance" relative to her.
Then she listened to Zhang Xin, Zhang Xin and Zhang Xin's father went to KFC, which was the first KFC in the city, and the consumption was expensive, Zhang Xin went as he wanted, and she envied Zhang Xin's material excellence.
Later, she found out that Cen Lin was caught by Mrs. Shi for "early love", such a big thing was just easily resolved by Cen Lin's father "I believe in my own daughter", Cen Lin was "unharmed", and she was extremely envious of this spiritual power that has nothing to do with matter.
Is Cen Lin's family so good?
Of course not, as I said before, they just want to be like Chen Huihua's family, and use everything on their daughter as much as possible.
is different, Chen Huihua is excellent in character and learning, he is a veritable scholar, with a good personality and good at everything; Cen Lin's mind is not on reading, she loves beauty and believes in "indulging in youth".
If you have to follow the ridiculous standards of Father Hua Lone, then Cen Lin may be the type of person who does not learn well in his mouth, but despite this, it does not prevent Cen Lin's father from treating his daughter as the pearl of his palm, and he gets the pain unconditionally.
It turns out that it doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor, the most rare thing is "trust and support", and these don't need any abundant material as a premise, as long as you have the heart, you can create it.
However, there is no left and right of flower loneliness.
Flower Silence was sad for a few days.
Cen Lin is also kind-hearted, although Hua Lin didn't confide in her heart in detail, she was always depressed to watch a little sister depressed all day long.
She offered to watch the movie.
"Find a noon to go to my house! I made two discs. TWINS and Ekin Cheng's "A Thousand Changes", Rene Lau and Leung Ka-fai's "Double Eyes", this is a horror film. Came almost early, and came to school after watching the run! β
Su Ya agreed with both hands.
They crossed their fingers to calculate the time, what time it was about to arrive, what time could they see, and study the feasibility.
Hua Lin was unwilling to stay at home for a long time, and she didn't instigate her too much, so she accepted Cen Lin's invitation.
After eating at noon, Hua Lin ran out like a house.
The first time Hua Lin came to Cen Lin's house, her parents were not there, and she knew in advance that her daughter had classmates coming, and she also prepared snacks and fruits.
Looking around her house, the house is not big, but it is cozy.
On the wall and in the cabinet, there are photos of Cen Lin's growth, life photos, art photos, and family photos.
Cen Lin's room is very pink, and she has everything that little girls like.
On the small dresser, there are all kinds of bottles and cans that Hua Lonely doesn't know, all of which belong to her who loves beauty.
Hua Lin is a little restrained, compared to the conditions of her classmates, she seems too unworthy in all aspects.
At this time, the two of them discussed what movie to watch.
Is it a handsome guy and a beautiful woman? Or a suspenseful heartbeat?
Speaking of which, it was decided to let Hua Lonely choose.
"Then it's terrifying."
She also wanted to find excitement and forget her sorrows in a way that gave her full attention.
Unexpectedly, this "Double Pupils" is not a horror film in the absolute sense.
is not a horror like "The Old Corpse of a Mountain Village", "The Grudge" and "Midnight Bell", which makes people feel a chill in the back, but before the storyline is carefully considered, the picture is full of bloody and violent aesthetics.
Cen Lin and Su Ya grinned and hugged each other, plus there was not much time, so they fast-forward from time to time.
Hua Lin watched it with relish, and she was very interested in horror movies.
At the time, it seemed that this domestic horror film "Double Pupils" produced in 2002 deserved a milestone status in the next ten years.
He is not as simple as ordinary gods, gods and ghosts, but the hardcore is the mystery of Taoism.
Relatively speaking, the movie talks about "liberation", and for a while it hides Hua Lone's own great thoughts.
Is it the liberation of the body, or the liberation of the soul, what can awaken the sinking person when he falls?
"Worry because of love, fear because of love, if you are separated from your beloved, you have no worries and no fears."
Hua Lin remembered the inscription of this sentence in the film.
She wondered, what is "separated" from the beloved, there is no love, that is, people do not feel loved, like her family's recent situation, how can she be carefree?
But she thought, do her parents really not love her?
How could it be.
It's just that I didn't live up to their expectations and did things that disappointed them.
In the name of love, they can't accept that they are not up to standard, so they are angry that such children are not worthy of love.
Should there be a premise for love?
Hua Lin also doesn't understand what kind of love the theme of the film refers to, whether a person like her is considered a "divorced person".
She was immersed in her own world, Cen Lin and Su Ya were already sitting on the floor of Cen Lin's bedroom next to the living room, I didn't know that Su Ya called Hua Lin a few times, she waved her hand inside, signaling Hua Lin to go in.
"This flower is so fascinating."
Hua Lin reacted and smiled embarrassedly.
After entering, she also sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the gifts solemnly given to Cen Lin, most of them were jewelry, bracelets with broken diamonds, pendants, tail rings, earrings, combs, a lot, but because the teacher did not allow girls to be too ostentatious, they could only hide at home, or wear them to appreciate when the two of them were dating.
also flipped through the letters exchanged between Cen Lin and Zheng Chong, as well as the diaries that Cen Lin had written for Zheng Chong.
Seeing the diary, Hua Lin thought to herself, do girls like to write the people they like to write in their own pen.
The two of them talked about Cen Lin's drifting love, as if she was also separated from her lover.
"Mom, it's time to go to school."
Fortunately, Hua Lin found out that it was very late, and the three of them crawled out of the bedroom, and Hua Lin also wanted to say that it should not be too rude to be a guest, and that it should be cleaned up or something, but it is too late now.
The three of them rushed to the school in a hurry.
One minute before the class bell rang, a second before the biology teacher entered the door, he flashed into the classroom, and everyone ran with a red face.
It's strange to say that people's moods change for better and worse in an instant.
In this 100-meter sprint, the little short-legged Cen Lin played extraordinarily and kept up with the pace of Hua Lin and Su Ya in front.
The three of them ran heartlessly under the golden sun, the wind was full of ears, and the green shade was full of eyes, and they ran out of the wanton and joy of youth.
Hua Lin completely let go of herself and got rid of the empty melancholy in her heart.
Before taking their seats, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
Away from the lover, at least, it's not too bad.
