XXIII. Stories

Zeng Fan escaped from the classroom and said in his heart: "It's dangerous, it's dangerous." But when I thought of speaking freely in Liu Yue's diary just now, I could finally sweep away the unhappiness of being deceived by her.

"Hey, wait a minute." Zeng Fan heard someone calling him behind him, although the person was not very polite, he could still hear that it was a girl. Zeng Fan turned around and saw that it was a girl from the third class, or a girl who was often with An Xue.

"Can you help me call Jiang Jianguo from your class?" The girl asked timidly.

"He's not in the classroom, he's out, and I don't know where he's gone."

"Can you help me get a badminton racket? Jiang Jianguo borrowed it from me. "The girl's voice is very nice.

Zeng Fan was a little embarrassed, Liu Yue was still in the classroom, and now when he goes in, he must be more than lucky. Zeng Fan said in a gentle tone that he felt a little numb: "Why don't you wait for Jiang Jianguo to come back and get it to you?" ”

"I'm going to use it now, can't you help me get it?" Hearing this, Zeng Fan's heart was already half full, and when he saw her dressed in green, trembling in the cold wind, the other half couldn't help but soften. He finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, you wait, I'll go get it." ”

Zeng Fan walked into the classroom, didn't dare to look at Liu Yue, walked quickly to Jiang Jianguo's seat, took the racket and left. Out of the classroom, Zeng Fan's heart was still beating, thinking about when he became so timid.

The girl said "thank you", smiled at Zeng Fan again, and then turned around and left. Zeng Fan's brain recovered from a blank space after a few seconds, and there was only one sentence swirling in his mind: a smile is overwhelming.

Watching the girl's back gradually fade away, Zeng Fan couldn't help but worry that her thin body would not be able to withstand the cold wind, and then return with the wind, and the girl's almost transparent face in his mind could not be dispersed for a long time.

Half a day after the girl left, Zeng Fan remembered that the girl's name was Wang Ting. "No, Jiang Jianguo shouldn't have given her my poems, right?" Zeng Fan thought secretly, "This guy's vision is really good." Thinking of Wang Ting's weak willow-like figure, Zeng Fan suddenly had a vicious idea: "Why don't you tell her that I wrote the poem that Jiang Jianguo sent her?" No, if it wasn't given to her, this person would be a big loss, and Jiang Jianguo, this kid, would definitely not let me go. ”

Zeng Fan fantasized for a long time, but he didn't have the courage to go back to the classroom, so he had to re-enter the red dust. The day's competition was over and most of the students went home. Although it was still early in the dark, the slanting sun in the sky had already lost its heat, shining on the scattered people in the empty playground, casting a long black shadow behind them.

If it weren't for Jiang Jianguo and a few people in the playground, Zeng Fan would have to go home - this is the advantage of having a sports meeting, if you don't participate in the competition, students can go home at any time, the only obstacle is the sense of collective honor, because there are people in their class who need to cheer. Some people choose not to go home for the sake of glucose water and mint ponds, which are of course for those who participate in the competition. It is said that when you run, you can have a mint candy in your mouth and you will feel like you want to fly. Zeng Fan tried it on purpose, but it didn't have any other effect except for making his throat cold.

Seeing Jiang Jianguo, Zeng Fan immediately became energetic again, he tried his best to make his voice sound normal, but he still couldn't suppress the voyeuristic excitement in his voice, "A girl was looking for you just now." ”

Sun Haoming and others next to him also showed great interest in this matter.

"Who?" Jiang Jianguo didn't know what to do.

Zeng Fan said deliberately: "It seems to be a girl named Wang or something in the third class." ”

There was another "oh" sound around.

Jiang Jianguo's face was normal, he had already guessed that it was Wang Ting; He deliberately borrowed the badminton racket from Wang Ting, intending to return it to her in person, and then give her Zeng Fan's poems by the way.

"What is she looking for me for?"

"I want a badminton racket, I've already given it to her."

Jiang Jianguo's heart began to bleed.

"I'll give her all right, right? I wanted you to give it to her, but she said it was urgent. ”

Jiang Jianguo continued to drip blood in his heart, but said on his lips: "It's okay, I wanted to return it to her for a long time, you just gave it to her." Jiang Jianguo didn't expect that when he went out, he was ruined by Zeng Fan, and he hated Zeng Fan to death in his heart.

Zeng Fan lived more vigorously and continued to ask, "Where did you go just now?" ”

"Orchards on the South Hills."

"Stealing apples?"

"No, it's just a casual stroll." Ma Tao replied, "Jiang Jianguo rubbed half a catty of tobacco leaves from the old sweat of the garden, rolled one, and smoked it well, Jiang Jianguo?" ”

Looking at Ma Tao's appearance, his saliva was about to flow down.

Jiang Jianguo was secretly sad, too lazy to pay attention to Ma Tao, and said coldly: "Why don't you try it yourself?" ”

Ma Tao said with a smile: "This guy doesn't usually smoke much, but I didn't expect it to smoke harder than me." The tobacco leaves have so much stamina that I'm afraid I'll get drunk if I take a puff. ”

Zeng Fan didn't expect that there was such a blessed land on Nanshan, so he hurriedly said, "You can also take me with you next time?" ”

"Want to have another time?" Ma Tao was shocked and said: "Let's go this time, Jiang Jianguo wasted half a catty of tobacco leaves from the old man, and I stewed half a catty of tea, and if I go again, it will be strange if I don't get his legs discounted." ”

"You still have tea?"

"No", Ma Tao seemed to be a little regretful, "The old man's electric stove is not in good contact, and when the tea is boiled halfway, it leaks, and my hands are numb." ”

"What about tea?"

"It's poured, you haven't seen the old man's cup of tea, I'm afraid it hasn't been washed for seven or eight years, and the tea dirt is so thick that you can make another teacup out, I don't dare to drink it."

After hearing Ma Tao's words, a strange old man appeared in Zeng Fan's mind. Zeng Fan had heard of him when he was in elementary school. The most precious thing for the old man is the two big mulberry trees, which are more important than anything else, and anyone can come to pick mulberry leaves and mulberries, but they have to exchange things for them.

Those who exchange mulberry leaves and mulberries with the old people are all elementary school students, and all the primary school students can get is the dry food they bring to school, but the old people like to eat the dry food of primary school students. Zeng Fan also thought about exchanging his own dry food for the old man's mulberry leaves, because the silkworms he raised always stunted when they ate the leaves of another plant. But Zeng Fan went to school in the morning to bring dry food, by noon there was always very little left, and the old man was used to eating all kinds of dry food, the taste was probably too high to catch up with Hong Qigong, and he had long disdained the ordinary steamed bun rolls or something.

Zeng Fan's silkworms always starved to death before his master made up his mind to exchange his own dry food for mulberry leaves, but this also saved a lot of trouble. It's a pity that Zeng Fan has never seen that strange old man so far. Zeng Fan always imagined the old man as a person who wore a large leather jacket that could see the cotton inside all year round, with a dirty head and white beard, and covered his true face.

The surrounding excitement brought out Jiang Jianguo's loneliness even more, and in the laughter of Zeng Fan and several people, Jiang Jianguo returned home. Ma Tao also left. Sun Haoming did not move.

Zeng Fan and Sun Haoming returned to the classroom, Liu Yue and Lin Yulan were also long gone, Zeng Fan was also ready to go home, he asked Sun Haoming to go back together, but Sun Haoming said a little mysteriously: "I still have to wait for someone." ”

Without waiting for Zeng Fan to ask him, Sun Haoming said excitedly: "Do you know? When I got home at noon, I met Sun Huilin, and he was in my car. ”

Zeng Fan was not surprised, because Sun Haoming had already said the same thing to him more than once. In fact, Zeng Fan didn't like to listen to Sun Haoming talk about him and Sun Huilin. He even whispered to Zeng Fan once that there was a mole growing somewhere under Sun Huilin's neck, which was extremely petite and cute, and asked Zeng Fan to see it.

Sun Haoming did not find Zeng Fan's unhappiness, and continued to talk about how he went to wait for her near Sun Huilin's house, how he met Sun Huilin's younger brother, and how he lied to him to call him his brother-in-law. Sun Haoming was like a criminal who needed to use confession to reduce his punishment, and he gushed endlessly in front of Zeng Fan. But Zeng Fan had no interest in becoming a judge, and would rather he resist being strict. Maybe he still has a good impression of Sun Huilin, Zeng Fan can only think silently.

When I was in elementary school, Zeng Fan and Sun Huilin could be happy for a long time when they said a word. Once when he was making a blackboard newspaper, he accidentally touched Sun Huilin's hand when he handed her scotch tape, which made him feel like an electric shock. He peeked at Sun Huilin, but found that she was unresponsive. Although this made him a little disappointed, he was still looking forward to the next electrocution.

However, when he went to junior high school and was still in the same class as Sun Huilin, he didn't have the feelings and thoughts he had back then. So even if Sun Haoming provoked her later, and she later changed classes, Zeng Fan didn't treat it as a big deal; But after all, he couldn't stand Sun Haoming talking endlessly about her in front of him.

What Zeng Fan didn't expect was that in high school a few years later, Sun Huilin would frequently change her boyfriend, and finally even changed to Zeng Fan's classmates. Looking at Sun Huilin, who was quietly standing outside the classroom door waiting for the boy in her class, Zeng Fan suddenly wanted to rush out and say to her: "Why are you bothering, why are you waiting for such a boy?" But he didn't say anything after all, but smiled at her; Sun Huilin also laughed, but there seemed to be a hint of bitterness in this smile. Sun Huilin is still so petite, but there is an extra pair of myopic glasses on the bridge of her nose.
