57: My sister doesn't cry
The year he was born, Zhao Xun lost his mother for the first time.
When he was 13 years old, Zhao Xun had a younger brother for the first time.
When he was 18 years old, Zhao Xun experienced the college entrance examination for the first time.
When he was 23 years old, Zhao Xun carried his bags for the first time and said that he would walk in all directions.
At the age of 24, Zhao Xun married a man 30 years older than her for the first time.
In this life, she can't choose, and she can't grow up, and she has no intention of falling in love with the night from then on......
On the day of graduation, I watched the boys in my class throw down all the textbooks, review questions, and mock papers from the three-story school building.
The helpless leadership office of the Academic Affairs Section could only let the freshmen clean the campus for a whole day.
There are also some girls in the first and second years of high school classrooms full of all kinds of review materials, newspapers, notes, five yuan a book, ten yuan three books, and a hundred yuan a book.
By the way, there are also postcards for writing love letters, on which it is written that Tagore once said......
Go to TM's Tsinghua University, TM's Peking University, TM's Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, TM's first line, TM's college entrance examination!
Lao Tzu is free at this moment.
After the college entrance examination, Zhao Xun ushered in his three-month summer vacation.
During these three months, there were no teachers, no student council, no mathematics, physics and chemistry, no English, and no mock exams.
"Students, several of our class committee members have discussed, our class is scheduled to hold our class reunion in the afternoon!"
"Okay, okay, squad leader, remember to call our squad when the time comes!"
"How much is the party, I don't have any money with me."
"At present, everyone should prepare 100 yuan first, and then just refund more and make up less."
"Isn't it? 100 hundred? It seems like a bit too much, right? ”
"Yuan Xin, everyone is about to graduate, in the three years of high school, everyone hasn't gotten together a few times, are you so close to the 100 yuan?"
"It's not that I don't want to, 100 is enough for me to buy several sets of game equipment, I just don't think there's any need to spend so much money on food and drink."
"Then you can do it yourself, there may not be many opportunities like this next time, and it is impossible for people to gather like today."
"Isn't that a simple thing! Everyone raised their hands to vote, and set the money for the party at 100 yuan per person, do you think it is expensive, if you really don't want to go, we are not reluctant, completely voluntary. ”
That being said, when it really came time to vote by a show of hands, even Yuan Xin didn't mention the matter of game equipment, after all, everyone was a classmate, and no one wanted to make the relationship between this classmate too stiff in this graduation season.
"Okay, then let's meet at No. 73 Jingyuan Road at 4:30 p.m., and the students who go early can directly report the name of our class at that time."
Although Zhao Xun didn't say anything, she was also worried about the 100 yuan in her heart, she was afraid that after she returned home, once she opened this mouth with her father, if she was rejected for a trivial matter, she could be scolded in front of the guests, but it would be a shame to lose her hair.
After all, this 100 yuan is not a small amount for a family like theirs.
It's likely that in the off-season, they have a full day's income in the bone tube.
Zhao Xun, who returned to the store, first poured a glass of water for his father.
"Coming back? Graduation photos and all those things are done, right? ”
"Mmmm, yes, now wait for the start of the new semester."
"Okay, it's okay, I'll come back to the bone tube to help recently! Summer vacation is over, and there are more children. ”
"Okay, Dad, Dad's ......"
"Which one? What do you want to say, I can't help it, oh, I remember, do you want to ask me about buying a mobile phone? ”
"Oh, no, no, Dad."
"It's okay, since I promised you, I will definitely not break my promise, let's go to the mobile phone plaza after closing tomorrow morning, go to college, it's time to get a mobile phone, don't be looked down upon by college classmates."
"Thank you Dad, but ......"
"What, you still have something?"
"Dad, I'm not in a hurry to buy a mobile phone, I just want to ask you to get 100 yuan, our class has a class reunion in the afternoon."
"What? 100 huh? What kind of reunion do you want, do you need 100 yuan?"
"I heard them say that they will have dinner first, and then go to KTV to play."
Sure enough, when his father, who was still in the clear sky just now, immediately turned his face when he mentioned money.
"I think you're just trying to fool around with the milking kids in your class! Now that they've all graduated, I don't know what else you have to party about? It's been three years together, haven't you gotten together enough? Parties, that's all a trick played by rich children, we are children from poor families, this hard-earned money is not easy to come by, in order to save you a few tuition money, you see when I invited a waiter or something! You're so ignorant! ”
"Dad, I also know that this money is a little more, but after all, this is also the last time, and I can't say that I won't go......"
"I don't think you have a good relationship with your classmates, if you can't go, you won't go, and you need someone to help you!"
"Okay, then Dad, I won't go."
Her father's answer was exactly the same as what Zhao thought on the way back, although Zhao Xun felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she felt that what her father said was also very right.
She also has a younger brother who is in elementary school, so she can't ignore her younger brother as soon as she graduates!
In the end, Zhao Xun decided not to participate in this class reunion, even if she was forgotten or misunderstood, she recognized it.
Who made her lack this hundred dollars!
Who told her dad not to even give her a hundred yuan!
It was noon, when there were many people in the bone tube, and most of the people who came to eat in the bone tube wanted to drink a little wine, and those people would not leave without two or three hours.
When I took off my apron, it was already 15:40 in the afternoon, and it was a full 50 minutes before 4:30.
Just as Zhao Xun was about to leave the bone tube and go home, he found a brand-new red hairy grandfather on the counter that had not been discounted a little.
Zhao Zhao couldn't describe her feelings, if she really wanted to use a word to describe it, she felt that it should be mixed.
In the end, Zhao Xun still chose not to attend this class reunion.
Many years later, maybe Zhao Xun will still have a trace of regret in his heart, in the year of graduation, they had a classmate, but she missed the appointment.
However, at the class reunion that year, no one remembered her, and no one remembered that there was a non-talkative but understanding Zhao Xun in the class who was not present.
On that day, the home phone she left for her classmates never rang.
The person who said not to be together to the end went all the way to the end, but the person who said that he wanted to go to the end together ended up in the middle of the show.
In the end, it was not exchanged for a sentence of "constant contact".
17:50 p.m.
I remember that day when the streets were noisy and crowded, Zhao Xun bumped into a small stall for the first time.
The grandmother who was drinking hot dry noodles and mixed sauce noodles had a familiar smiling face.
I bought a bowl of hot dry noodles and took it to taste, although Zhao Xun didn't know if this bowl of hot dry noodles was the same as the taste that Li Ronghao had permeated in the alley for a long time.
But this smell is enough to make Zhao Xun forget about crowding, partying, and sadness, she only looks forward to the next time she meets them again.
Early the next morning, my father yelled that he wanted to close the store early, and then took Zhao to pick up a mobile phone in the mobile phone store.
Zhao Xun, who came into contact with mobile phones for the first time, obviously seemed very unfamiliar, and the clerk was introducing her to the functions of mobile phones, how much memory they have, how big the processor, and what kind of functions they have.
Because they were all girls, the clerk also turned on the camera for Zhao Zhao. In fact, before this, Zhao Zhao had basically not taken a few photos, and she didn't understand what millions of pixels meant.
Zhao Xun, who was confused, finally chose a Huawei mobile phone that cost a little more than 1,000 yuan.
Zhao Zhao, who can't afford Apple, can only support domestic production.
Later, when Zhao found the ability to afford apples, she still never bought apples.
This is Zhao Xun's first mobile phone, touching the big mobile phone screen, touching it lightly, the sensitivity that can be reversed makes Zhao Xun feel very excited.
Her father took her to buy a card, and that was the first time Zhao Xun had WeChat.
She had only listened to some songs on her quiet mobile phone before, but this time she could listen to music and play with her mobile phone unscrupulously.
Because this is a mobile phone that belongs only to her, it was bought to her by her father himself.
On the way back, my father suddenly mentioned to Zhao the two children of the old Liu family.
"Xiaoya called me yesterday, and she said that she wanted to come back to see it recently, and let me take her to see her father if I have time."
"yes, I haven't seen Xiaoya and them in a while."
"yes, it's been a long time."
"Okay, didn't she say when she would be back? I'm going to call Xiaojing over, and we'll have a meal together. ”
"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow happens to be Sunday, and Xiaojing will go home that day."
"Okay, then I'll prepare in advance then, and if I have time, I'll go to the station with Xiaojing to pick her up."
In the past year, Zhao Xun has been busy reviewing and preparing for the exam every day, and he has indeed ignored the sisters Liu Ya and Liu Jing.
I don't know how the two of them got over these days.
They are all children who have survived hard days, of course Zhao Xun understands their suffering, and tomorrow they will have no father or mother.
While others were sitting together eating, they were the only ones in their house.
When others are gathering around to celebrate the Spring Festival, their homes are still deserted.
When I met Liu Ya on the weekend, she no longer wore two high pigtails and wore a faded denim jacket like before.
This time, she wore heavy makeup, and her hair was slightly yellow in the sun, a dazzling yellow.
"Sister!"
Liu Jing said that he hadn't seen his sister for a long time, and he didn't go home much in recent months, just staying at the school, and his sister would come back to see her on weekends, but then his sister called his dormitory manager, saying that he was busy with work and asked him to live in the dormitory temporarily.
"Here, give my sister a hug."
This loud sister called into Zhao Xun's heart, and goosebumps instantly exploded in all corners of Zhao Xun's body.
"Sister, what have you been busy with lately, I haven't seen you for months, I miss you, sister."
"Isn't my sister back, my sister misses you too, you must study hard for your sister, you know?"
Looking at the deep sister-brother relationship between Liu Ya and her brother, Zhao Xun couldn't help but think of his younger brother.
"I know, sister."
"Looking for my sister, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"That's right, let's go, Xiaoya Xiaojing, let's go back first, your Uncle Zhao has made you your favorite dish."
"Okay, okay, I've been wanting to eat at home for a long time."
In the end, it is a child, there is no pressure of life, there are no worldly troubles, one second it is still dark clouds, and the next second it can be clear.
Seeing Liu Ya and Liu Jing's sisters and brothers, my father was very happy, like his own children, even closer than his own children.
At the dinner table, her father asked for warmth, and after asking questions, Liu Ya once again felt the warmth of the family.
Later, Liu Ya said that she missed her father.
It may be easier for girls to communicate with each other, and it is easier to read each other's thoughts.
The father chose to walk away in silence, leaving Zhao Xun and Xiaoya in the same room.
Suddenly, Liu Ya's eyes were red.
"Xiaoya, what's wrong with you? Is there anything uncomfortable? Or did you encounter something unsatisfactory in Beijing? ”
"Looking for my sister, I was deceived!"
"Xiaoya, listen to me, don't cry yet, you tell me slowly what happened, who lied to you?"
"Sister, I just think I'm too stupid and stupid now, I'm being played with in the palm of my hand, but in the end I'm still helping others count money."
"What the hell is going on, can you tell me? Your uncle and I will definitely help you. ”
"No, sister, I think it's over, and my life is over."
"I don't allow you to say that, how old are you, you talk like this, your life has just begun!"
"I didn't want to talk to anyone, I think it's a stain on my life, an unbelievable joke, I'm so stupid."
"You calm down, Xiaoya, don't be like this, you tell me slowly, we are all worried about you."
"Worried? I'm a child with no father and no mother, except for my younger brother, I have no relatives, only you and Uncle Zhao don't dislike our sisters, really, I know in my heart, you don't have to comfort me. ”
"You can't say that, you still have relatives, your father will come out sooner or later, do you want him to see you now? And you and Uncle Zhao are your family, when you were young. ”
"Sister, I thank you, I will remember all the kindness you have been to our sisters over the years, if I can still have a chance in the future, I will not forget it."
"We didn't ask you to give anything back, as long as you and Xiaojing can grow up peacefully."
This was the first time in his life that Zhao Xun had felt the breath of despair in the air so closely.
Liu Ya's red eyes were filled with despair, which made Zhao Xun's heart ache for a while.
She wanted to say something to comfort her, even make amends, but in the end, no matter what she said, she was incoherent and stammered.
In the end, Zhao Xun could only repeat sentence by sentence: "Xiaoya, don't cry"
"Xiaoya, don't cry"
"Xiaoya, don't cry"
"Sister Don't Cry"
"Xiaoya, don't cry"
