Take a bath, enjoy a flower, make an appointment, eat a meal, if you feel happy, it is not because the bath is clean, the flowers bloom well, the appointment is successful, or the food is to your taste, but mainly because you have no worries in your heart.

This senior year of high school can be said to be the moment that decides Zhao Zhao's "life and death".

If she does well on her exams, she will be able to go on to college and get a new phone.

This was her father's promise to her.

If she fails the exam, then in exchange, her study career will definitely be terminated.

This was also her father's warning to her.

The consequence of failing the exam was to go home and work with her father on the bone tubes.

Then when she was 20 years old, she got married, gave birth to children, and spent her whole life with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and became an authentic housewife.

She doesn't want to be like the latter, she wants to get ahead, she wants to be free, she wants to leave this home.

Looking at the children of the neighbors or Zhang San or Li Si's family, they can have a decent job in other places.

She also had such envy, and she also wanted to be able to be like them.

However, she is the one who has never been out of this town in her life, and she wants to go out and see it.

Zhao Xun is like all immature children, he likes to be free, he likes to go out for a walk, and he doesn't want to stay in this hometown where he gave birth to you and raised you.

However, it was only later that you realized that you never wanted to see the moon in another country except your hometown.

It turns out that in this world, there is no better place than hometown.

The older I get, the more I love home.

However, when you were a child, how did you understand these great truths, and you always thought that the little freedom you yearn for in your heart is to grow up, leave home, and wander.

Zhao Xun wanted to leave this town, and the reason for leaving this home was also inseparable from her family experience.

After all, her life experience since she was a child told her that she can't stay in this town for the rest of her life in the future, otherwise she will be as unproductive as her father.

It was already 10:30 p.m. after the evening self-study.

Carrying a heavy schoolbag, Zhao found a person to walk on the path home.

The distance between the school and home is half a minute if you walk and about 15 minutes by bike.

But because it's winter, if you're riding a bicycle, it's easy to fall on the road.

And as long as Zhao Xun wears glasses and puts on his small mask, he will immediately be covered with a thin layer of fog.

It's so cute, like a bear.

I can't help it, I can only take No. 11 every day after school.

At this time, almost a few students who finished evening self-study walked back on their own.

In winter, it was dark early, and before school, some parents of students stood at the school gate early to pick up their children home.

Therefore, the way home at this time of day is always unusually deserted.

Zhao Xun, who is not good at making friends, will be even more lonely at this time.

The dark night seemed to swallow up all the pedestrians on the road.

She was the only one on the long path.

The dim light stretched her shadow long, long.

Only a few scattered leaves hanging from the bare and thick locust poplar trees were making a rustling sound of the wind, as if they were fighting against the silent night.

Zhao Xun didn't dare to look back, she was afraid of reading ghost stories since she was a child, and she really believed in the saying that she couldn't turn back when she walked at night.

She had no choice but to walk forward quickly, not caring about anything, not daring to think about anything, otherwise she would really be about to go crazy if she continued like this.

Oh my God, it's already around 11 o'clock when I enter the house.

My father and younger brother had also gone to bed for a long time.

"Coming back? Locked the door, right? There is rice left for you in the pot, you can eat it while it is hot before going to sleep. ”

After his father heard the door knocking, his father in the back room said to Zhao Xun in a loud voice, but he didn't come out.

Although class ended at 6 o'clock and I had eaten in the school cafeteria, I was still very hungry when I came back at this point.

Zhao Xungang put down his schoolbag, walked in three steps and walked in two steps, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to take out the food left by his father.

It is the time to grow the body, coupled with the excessive use of the brain in the third year of high school, the hunger is naturally very fast.

When the lid of the pot is lifted, a smell of meat wafts into the nose.

If you look closely, it turns out that a few pieces of pork bones are lying quietly in the bowl embroidered with blue and white porcelain.

There was still some residual warmth on the bowl, so Zhao Xun took out the meat with a clean rag and put it on the table.

Looking at the beautiful pig bones in front of him, what flashed in Zhao Xun's head was "the life of a pig." ”

From being born, to growing up, to being slaughtered, to how to be a delicacy on people's boards, what is it thinking about when it goes through these things?

It's too late to wait for them to cool down, so you can quickly put them in your mouth and savor their life.

Sure enough, Zhao Xun gnawed all the fleshy places on them, and she brought over the knife again, and she couldn't even let go of any small gap.

I don't know if it's because I'm hungry or because the meat is too fragrant, but in short, this supper is extraordinarily sweet.

After eating, I hastily washed the dishes, and then began a new round of struggle at night.

The mock exam is about to begin, and Zhao Zhao can't give up any opportunity.

She had to study all the time to get a score of about the same point.

Looking up at the watch, the hour hand pointed in the direction of around 11:20.

came back and ate again, which delayed for a while, and Zhao Xun was still secretly repenting in his heart.

How she wanted to invent a new skill that humans could learn and work without eating.

Thinking of this, she secretly sighed her ignorance, if humans really had this kind of skill, then wouldn't her family's bone pipe be yellow.

Until 2 o'clock at night, I washed my face and went to bed with a grunt.

It's a new day, and Zhao Xun is still getting up early as always, reciting, reviewing, getting up early, reciting, and reviewing in an infinite loop.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, Zhao Xun rubbed his sleepy eyes, and slept for a total of 2 hours, and he was really sleepy.

Knock knock, knock knock......

How could someone knock on the door so early, Zhao Xun was still wondering in his heart, so he put on a coat and hurried over to open the door.

"Who? So early? Are you up? ”

"Dad, I'm up, I'll go open the door!"

"It's okay, I'm getting up too! Do you want to sleep again? I went to the bathroom last night and saw that the lights were still on in your room. ”

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy, I'm going to school after washing."

Zhao got out of bed and opened the door, it turned out to be a "quiet" classmate in the class next door, who had said a few words in the class association before, and it could be regarded as an acquaintance.

"Quiet? Why so early, is there something wrong with you? ”

"Zhao Xun, hello, I'm here to ask you to come and read early."

"Call me? Why? ”

"I want to study with you, I see that you have improved a lot in the results of this quiz, and then I heard from your classmates that you have to go to the playground every morning to study, and in the last few months, I also want to be like you, improve your grades."

"Oh, uh, well, so you're going to sit in first?"

Zhao Xun is still in the circle, and he didn't react too much to what he meant by what he said quietly.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to wash up."

"Who's coming?"

My father was in a hurry to get rid of the bone tube, so he got up early and went over to buy some ingredients at the morning market.

"Hello uncle!"

As soon as my father came out, he was startled by the clever girl sitting on the stool at the door.

"Dad, this is my classmate next door, called Quiet."

Sure enough, people are not as good as their names, early in the morning, before everyone woke up, they came to knock on someone's door, it was really ......

It's quiet enough!

"It's a classmate looking for a child, have you had breakfast?"

"No, uncle, let's go to school to eat later, I'm here to study with Zhao Zhao."

"Okay, let's take the change from the cabinet when you leave, go to school to buy breakfast, and I didn't prepare milk for you today."

"Okay, Dad."

After Zhao Xun finished washing, he went to school with Quiet.

Zhao Xun wondered why Jing Jing could know where her home was, so he simply asked.

"By the way, how did you know my family was here?"

"Oh, look at your memory, it's not good at all, I've eaten in your bone tube before, and I'll know it over time."

"Oh, then your house is not far from our house, you woke up early."

"It's not early, it's not early, my mother went to work in the morning, and I said I wanted to find a classmate to study together, and my mother was very happy, so she brought it to me along the way."

"Oh, that's right, I say, how do you know my house is here?"

The two of them talked and laughed and came to school after a while, and Zhao Xun also felt that today's time was much less than usual.

This road to school also seems to be near.

Zhao Xun took her to the "secret base" where she usually studied, and the two began to attack their own weaknesses.

Quiet is also a good child who loves to learn and is sensible, and when she is with Zhao Zhao, she just wants the two of them to supervise each other, and she can also make progress like Zhao Zhao.

When school was about to end in the afternoon, suddenly a boy at the door poked his head in and shouted, "Zhao is looking for it, someone is looking for it."

Zhao Xun thought about a lot of strange things recently, she hadn't made any friends in three years of high school, and no one had ever looked for her in class.

"It's coming!"

Zhao found out to take a look, and it turned out to be the quiet who came to her in the morning to read together.

"Quiet? Are you looking for me? ”

"Of course! Wait for me after the evening self-study, my mother came to pick me up from school and just took you back by the way. ”

"Oh, thank you, but no, I'll go back by myself after school, just as to digest."

"It's okay, you wait for me, let's go back together, you're so late, aren't you a girl afraid? Besides, it's not safe! ”

said to the heart all of a sudden, saying that it was false to say that she was not afraid, but as a single-parent family, Zhao Xun, who has lacked family affection since she was a child, said that life had to force her to be strong.

"I really don't need to, thank you."

Jing Jing may also feel that Zhao Xun is a little decisive, knowing that if he asks again, there must be no result, so he simply follows Zhao Xun's words.

When Zhao Xun was about to turn around and leave, he was suddenly stopped by silence.

"By the way, you can take a little time on the weekend, I will take you to our family's ecological agricultural garden to see, strawberries and mushrooms are growing just right these days."

"Weekends?"

Quietly looking at Zhao Zhao's particularly hesitant gaze, he hurriedly added:

"Okay? Just promise me! It's finally the weekend, and we're too nervous every day in our senior year of high school, so it's good to find a time to relax for a while, otherwise how efficient is studying. ”

"Okay, then I'll promise you first, but I have to go back today and ask my dad, if he doesn't agree, I won't be able to go."

Zhao Xun also felt that what Jing Jing said was very reasonable, she hadn't gone out for a long time, and she had never been to the ecological park.

"Okay, then I'll contact you on the weekend."

happily quietly, singing a little song, twisting his waist, and disappearing into Zhao Xun's sight.
