Chapter 394: Wish
At that time, there was no entertainment pastime, even the TV was still the old version, and their family conditions were not good, and they couldn't afford to buy toys, so folding stars became the only pastime.
By now, she almost forgot how the stars folded, but she could still remember these memories of the past.
She opened one of them, opened it and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "This is the wish I wrote down at that time, and I was really naΓ―ve to think that it could be realized." β
Yu Chen looked at it, and it read: "I hope to have strawberry-flavored ice cream every day." β
Yu Chen's heart froze, he didn't expect An Xia's wish to be so simple.
Yu Chen thought back to his childhood, when he was very young, he lacked nothing, and someone would hold it in both hands when he wanted it, so that he didn't experience this feeling at all, let alone imagine how much magic an ice cream was.
For him, ice cream couldn't be cheaper, but now, seeing Anxia now, he seems to be able to feel Anxia's feelings when he sees it.
"Do you still want to eat it now?" Yuchen asked.
Anxia sneered: "I'm already so old, I've long passed that time, and of course I'm not so attached to ice cream." β
She was thinking about things further and longer now, and she didn't have such a deep craving for ice cream anymore.
What she wants more now is actually very simple, as long as she can be with Yuchen every day, it is her greatest happiness.
"Are there any other stars?" Yu Chen looked down at the stars inside, there were thousands of stars folded inside, a whole box full of them, in addition, there were some hearts in it, frogs, paper cranes, but the base of the stars was the largest, it seems that An Xia should have liked little stars especially when she was a child.
"I don't know, I don't remember." In fact, she also had a whim today, after all, she has lived in a place for so long, and there are so many memories that are about to be destroyed, she always wants to come back and see, and she thought of it.
She really can't remember whether the other stars were written on them.
"Is there anything else you want to take with you besides this?" Yuchen looked around and found that the room was very simple, basically there was nothing to take away, it was some large cabinets and beds and the like, but even the cabinet looked like it was full of scratches, and it had been used for many years at a glance, even if it was taken away, it was worthless, maybe it might be better when firewood.
An Xia shook her head: "Everything in the house has been ...... by my father Taken away, now it's just an empty frame, and I just suddenly want to come back and see, let's go. β
Yu Chen bowed his head and saw An Xia's eyes full of reluctance.
This place carries the last memories of her and her mother, and if even this place has to be demolished, Anxia will no longer have a place to remember her mother.
But she quickly calmed down again, she clearly knew that this place would have to be demolished sooner or later, just a few years ago she had a hunch, at that time there were rumors that this place was likely to be demolished, at that time everyone was looking forward to demolition as soon as possible, only Anxia hoped to be a little slower, it was good to be able to give her a buffer of so many years.
She has now been able to accept it.
went downstairs, during which Anxia also met many former neighbors.
They have nowhere else to go, and some have become so used to living in old houses that they haven't moved out at all.
Some people have changed so much that Anxia can't recognize them at all, but they recognize Anxia at a glance.
They are still quite enthusiastic, but Anxia looked at these and already felt that things were wrong, so he could only respond lukewarmly.
"Would you like to visit my alma mater?" Anxia looked at the plane tree in the front row, and suddenly thought that she hadn't been to a junior high school for a long time.
She didn't go to elementary school here when she was very young, she only transferred here when she was in junior high school.
At that time, the educational conditions had been slowly improved, although she was not a popular figure in school, or even unknown, but she still liked the school very much.
Because she always remembered that there was an English teacher who was always very gentle when reading English, and it sounded very comfortable.
"Okay." Yuchen was also curious about what kind of environment Anxia lived in.
I want to know more about what her past is like.
After getting to know her, I not only want to have her future, but also want to know what her past is like.
"My school is not far from the front, two blocks away, and it's the famous No. 1 middle school here." She introduced with a smile that everyone else has to take the bus when she goes to school, and only she can sleep lazy, because she can catch up with school as long as she walks for about fifteen minutes, and the extra time to sleep is really happy for her.
Anxia chattered about some things when she was a child along the way, and Yu Chen listened and looked at the surrounding environment.
He found that although the environment here was not pleasant, it was not so bad that he could not accept it, but it was very ordinary.
"There used to be a snack street here, and I liked to eat the grilled wings and duck necks here, but then because the school had to rectify the surrounding environment, there are no stalls here anymore."
An Xia faced Yu Chen, backed back and stepped back with his hands up.
"There is a lake here, which used to be very clear, and many people came here to wash their clothes, and many people would swim here in the summer, but in recent years, this area has been developed, and more people have come here, and there are more and more domestic garbage here."
Anxia's eyes fell on the lake, the green water was covered with white garbage, and there were many people coming and going on both sides, but few people came to wash their clothes anymore, because the lake was polluted.
She smiled, retracted her gaze,
"What do you think of here?"
Yu Chen looked at An Xia's somewhat expectant gaze and smiled slightly: "It's very good here, it's much better than I imagined, I have been fantasizing before I came, what kind of place can raise a character like yours, I know now, only such a calm, step-by-step small city will make your character so optimistic, so vigorous." β
An Xia didn't expect Yu Chen to praise her completely without money, and suddenly her old face turned red, she herself knew that this place was not as exaggerated as Yu Chen said, he completely beautified this place, but because Yu Chen praised the place where she lived since she was a child, she was a little proud.
"Well, I think so too." She said with a smile.
Anxia's school has also been renovated over the years, and now the area has expanded a lot compared to before, and after the funds were allocated above, a few more buildings were built, and the current school can hardly see the shadow of the past.
However, in Anxia's opinion, in fact, many habits are still retained.
For example, the blackboard bar is pasted with photos of the top three students in each semester, and next to them are their works, which are basically some full-score essays, or award-winning English essays.
There are always all kinds of them, and they look very high-grade.
This will give students a weekend break, and there will not be many people in the school.
The doorman dozed lazily, and An Xia and Yu Chen took a look and walked in, grinning so much that they were not even stopped by anyone.
"Are you happy to be here again?" Yu Chen looked at An Xia's expression and suddenly said.
Anxia thought for a while: "It's not happy, I just think it's a beautiful thing to be able to come back and remember the past, in fact, I don't remember what happened in the past, it's already very vague in my memory, but when I came back here again, I suddenly remembered the bits and pieces of the past, and I even thought that if I went back to that time, I would choose another life, but after thinking about it, no matter what I am, I have already had my youth." β
She smiled slightly when she said this, and Yu Chen's smile when she looked at her also smiled softly.
The expression on her face was calm when she wasn't smiling, but when she did, it was as if she had embellished that face with a soul, making her face a little more vivid, and in addition to that, there was something charming, which seemed to him to be unmatched by anyone.
Anxia turned her head to look over there, not knowing what she saw, and walked towards it quickly.
Yu Chen was stunned for a moment, and also chased after him.
Anxia saw a familiar back.
"Teacher Yu?"
She let out a tentative cry.
The person in front turned around, and sure enough, it was the homeroom teacher when she was in junior high school, Lao Yu.
The wrinkles on his face were already very deep, and his eyes were squinting to give people a lot of pressure, but he smiled a little honestly, and he was obviously a little surprised when he saw An Xia at this time.
"Are you...... Ansha? β
This time it was An Xia's turn to be surprised, she has never been famous in the class, not as proud as those top students, and not the kind of students who are naughty and need to have a headache, but the kind of student who is mediocre, but has no point of light, An Xia didn't expect the teacher to recognize her at a glance.
An Xia bowed: "It's me, teacher, you still remember me." β
Lao Yu smiled: "Why don't you remember, you like to sit by the window the most, and you always read the most seriously when you read in the morning." β
He glanced at Yu Chen: "...... this?" β
"This is my boyfriend." Anxia took the initiative to say.
Lao Yu's smile deepened: "The young man looks good, when will you drink the wedding wine, please invite me to go." β
An Xia smiled sincerely: "I will definitely send you an invitation when I get married." β
After a few words of greeting, Lao Yu left, and then An Xia still couldn't calm down, she always thought that she was the person who no one cared about, but she didn't expect that Lao Yu had paid attention to herself.
She couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Do you want to keep going?"
Yuchen asked.
