Sycamore Falls Chapter 34. There is no other world
The flowers in the garden are all thankless, only the fine and dense gold flowers are still flourishing, the fragrant fragrance of osmanthus makes people smell comfortable, how he hopes that he can stay for a long time, and accompany his mother who has recovered from illness and needs to be taken care of.
Less than five days after Su Yuan left, her mother was personally sent back to her hometown by the third uncle to recuperate. She talked about home, saying that the dirty air in the city made her feel uncomfortable, and the third uncle and he both understood that this was just to save money, and said goodbye with a smile, the third uncle had a lot of work and was very busy, and he really couldn't spare too much time to stay at home to eat.
The days with my mother by my side are happy, and with her muttering and nagging in my ears, life is like a stir-fried dish with various condiments, which becomes delicious.
Mother thought of Yuhua's goodness, and often held her hand and whispered to her by the bedside, and she even took out the bottom of her box to show Yuhua. He could see his mother's seriousness, and also sighed at the sincerity and trust of their time, what kind of friendship could make the two people who were not related by blood can sit together without any guilt, and develop into a situation like a family, even Shi'an doubted whether he was biological, and forced himself into his mother's arms to complain.
My mother was in good spirits, and she often walked to the stone plate in front of the door to sit and bask in the sun, and sometimes asked for an extra bowl of rice, and happily talked about the past when she was young. She didn't like to laugh, but during this time she smiled a lot, maybe this serious illness made her see a lot, he didn't know the reason for his mother's change, he saw her happy, and accompanied her happy.
Today is the day of parting, he is going to take Yuhua back to the county seat, and then find Su Yuan and Xinran on the road to the city's No. 1 Middle School. Mother specially made some osmanthus cakes for him to take with him on the road to eat, the flat osmanthus cake is not as square as moon cakes, but the fragrance has far outcome, the cake made of wild osmanthus in the deep forest is so sweet.
When the packing was finished, his mother waved goodbye to him, and only said two words repeatedly: "Take care!" He couldn't bear to look at his mother's sad look, and he gritted his teeth and wept without responding, and the words of farewell had already been said. He didn't respond as enthusiastically as Yuhua, he only thought about countless vows in his heart, he wanted his mother to live a good life, and he wanted Shi'an to grow up safe and happy......
Back to the cottage in the county seat, he handed over the notes he promised to Yuhua, telling her to study hard and take care of the family more, and the bicycle was given to her as a substitute, and the keys to the room were all handed over to her for safekeeping.
Yuhua is very reluctant, but she has to let go of the hand that grabbed him after all, the person who chases his dream should have a broader sky, and she hopes that he will have higher achievements. She watched him go away from the edge of the platform, leaving her with a lonely city and a dog to accompany her.
She should have cried, but she was just pretending to be strong on the surface, and she would have to live and study alone in the future, crawling around this campus that should not be very familiar, he thought to the crowd outside the car window.
Sister Shui Ling didn't come to see him off in person, but only talked to him briefly at the ticket office, saying that the surprise for him would be sent and let him study hard. He reminisced about his hometown, but he didn't speak, the problem of motion sickness still existed, and he couldn't show it off wantonly. Su Yuan and Xinran hadn't touched each other before, and now they are estimated to have been wandering around the No. 1 Middle School in the city. So he leaned his head against the bag full of clothes, and fell into a deep sleep again.
The sun shone through the window, sweating on his forehead, and a sudden noise reminded him that it was time to get out of the car. Carrying his shoulders and carrying his back, his body seemed to be occupied everywhere, just when he was worried about the handling, he suddenly saw hope, Jing Yun was waiting for him at the station, which meant that the third aunt was not far away, and his hanging heart finally let go.
Jing Yun didn't care how embarrassed he was, he pounced and occupied his arms, he had to put down the package and free his hands to deal with this naughty egg. He guessed right, it was the third aunt, she had just gone out to buy water, and when she saw Jing Yun's pestering appearance, she showed a helpless smile again, the third uncle spoiled Jing Yun too much, not all because she was a hard-won child.
"Okay, Jingyun come down, your brother is very tired from running all the way, you listen to your mother, and play with you when your brother is rested, do you hear?" The third aunt knew the reason, and Jingyun did the same.
"Brother, you must play with me, and tell me a story, last time you only told half of it and ran away, but you have to make up for it!" Jingyun whispered to him, and he nodded in agreement and did not pass it on to his ears.
"A-Ning, put your things at home first, and then move over tomorrow, today is just to sign up, it's not too busy, you will go to the school first to go to the school later, first familiarize yourself with the environment, and then ah, you have to come to the third aunt to play often, Jingyun, this child is often talking about you!" The third aunt was still so enthusiastic that she hurriedly shared his luggage.
"Yes, third aunt, Jingyun I watched grow up, where can I not care. I just don't know if I'll kiss after a few years, and I won't be so pestering when I grow up! ”
"Saying this, it's all about your own family, where can you not be close, Jingyun, tell your brother, do you like your brother?"
"I like it, Jing Yun likes my brother the most!" She shouted loudly with joy, causing a wave of envy from those around her.
The brisk mood made him begin to have a good vision for the future, he is about to go to the best school in the city to study, as long as he is serious and down-to-earth, he can be admitted to a better university, and even the rumored Huaqing, North University of China is not impossible.
After lunch, he pedaled three wheels in the direction of the school, but before visiting the school, he had to go to the nearby post booth to buy a phone card, and he had to contact Su Yuan and Xinran, who didn't know where at this time. Walking to the phone booth on the side of the street, he plugged in the card to dial, but no one answered the prompt tone that he had heard for a long time, so he hung up the long barrel and prepared to go to the school to take a look.
"Hey! Good afternoon, A-Ning! Su Kite suddenly appeared from behind him, patted him on the shoulder and smiled sharply.
"I, I've seen you running around like a headless fly, I'm afraid you'll get lost, so I'll come with you, and scare you by the way, guess who I met over here?" Su Yuan was still smiling, and anyone could see that she was happy.
"Su Kite, you don't know how scary it is to stand behind you, ordinary robbers do this, and you won't allow it in the future! I can't guess who makes you so happy, just tell me. He hadn't come out of the fright, his fluttering heart and heaving chest.
"It's that old man, he is actually the old principal of the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and the current principal is his son, do you say he is powerful!" She was excited, and it was a surprise indeed.
"Old man Chu, he? No way. ”
"That's right, that's what you think!"
"It's incredible! By the way, Xinran, didn't she come with you, did she have lunch? ”
"She, I'm going to No. 2 Middle School to sign up first, I've already made it close to me, and I've eaten the meal. That's right, why do you still buy this phone card, there are fewer people who use this now, maybe it will be dismantled in a few years, there are more in the school now, but you have to pay the package fee, I heard that it is not expensive and very affordable, but I think it is more convenient to use this mobile phone, and now you have to catch up with a trend, didn't you say that you want to keep up with the pace of development of the times? Su Yuan took out a white function phone from her satchel and showed it off to him.
"There is a time to catch the trend, this is only for emergency to buy, it's not for you to make trouble, leave in advance without notice, make me pounce, don't say more, I'll report the name first, otherwise I won't be able to enter tomorrow." He spread his hands and returned the phone to Su Yuan.
"Good, good, good! I'll take you to sign up, you are now a celebrity in the eyes of the teachers, how dare I offend you! Su Yuan made amends, but he knew it was just a joke for her.
Walking to the front of the school gate, you will see two mighty and tall stone lions, they stand quietly in front of the red porcelain and white iron gate, the prominent eyes are blazing, I think it is for the town feng shui invited master works.
The campus was full of scattered people, who were naturally easily recognized by those who were not formally dressed, and then were enthusiastically led to the freshman registration office by the seniors with work cards.
He had already squeezed into the bustling circle in advance, and had seen the long list of classes posted on the bulletin board. He was divided into the first and second classes of high school, and he became classmates with Su Yuan again, he had to sigh at the wonder of fate, this way of class division may be by region, but how can he know the methods and restrictions of screening, looking at Su Yuan's bright smiling face, he finally understood.
The list of people living in the school was full again, and he had to find a room to rent around the school, just because Principal Chu pursued the allocation according to need, and handed over these places to the students who needed them more, most of them came from remote towns and villages, and they were all hard-working young people with dreams.
"Su Kite, where do you say I should go to find a house to live in, I don't know the place well, if I can't find it in the past few days, it will be miserable, maybe I have to sleep on the streets." He was a little worried, if he lived in the third uncle's house, it would be more troublesome for him, and it was a long way, so it was not a suitable place to live.
"Don't worry, it's all on me! You can definitely find a house, but it's up to you to live with me. I'm also disgusted by the school, so let's be a companion together in the future and learn from each other! Her eyes were full of anticipation, as if she would cry if he didn't agree.
How could he not know Su Kite's thoughts, he had no way out, and he fell into the mud in the environment she created.
"Good! Let's go find a house. Hearing his promise, Su Yuan was as happy as a free bird, grabbing his hand and pulling him away.
"Aning! You know, I've never been happier than I am today, you finally stopped rejecting me, I'm so happy now, it's really not a dream, I've finally waited for this day, do you know how many words I didn't say to you in my heart? Su Yuan's emotions gradually became excited, and she said secrets that she hadn't spoken for a long time.
Su Yuan never mentioned the situation of her family, but now she told him all that her parents divorced at an early age, and both of them thought that her existence was a mistake, and raised her in a welfare home, only giving her the living expenses she needed. For so many years, only her grandfather regarded her as his own granddaughter, and left the old house on the edge of the county to her, she was used to being lonely, and had tasted most of the warmth and coldness in the world, he found that he knew too little about Su Yuan, and even only regarded her as an obsessive suitor, his tightly held heart finally loosened, and he no longer had prejudice against her.
He suddenly felt that the love he was asking for was too ethereal, too dreamy, and failed to connect the reality and give himself a fair look. Gu Fang has not communicated for a long time, and even the phone number has become empty, she is like a distant dream, I can't tell when she will disappear and reappear, maybe only next year to pay tribute to Grandma Wu can I ask her in person, he really doesn't understand why after giving him hope, he blocked the eagerness in his heart with a long distance. After all, he can only love one person, and his heart is only so small after all.
"Yo, little kite, you brought a friend, so handsome, it won't be your boyfriend!" The landlord, Sister Lin, teased her.
"Well, Sister Yue'er, you guessed right, this is not my boyfriend!" Su Kite's eyes also smiled into crescent moons.
"Okay, sister, let's go out first, don't disturb your little couple, lest you say I'm disgusting!" Sister Lin put down the broom in her hand and disappeared at the top of the stairs.
"Little kite, you have a heart!" He finally changed his mind.
"Don't be angry, if I don't say that, where can I hear your true words. In the future, I will be your housekeeper, you have to listen to me! She started laughing heartlessly again.
"You, I can't talk about you, please take care of me in the future!" He finally lost face and lost to her.
The red silk tent was warm, Su Yuan was arranging the new house, he leaned against the wooden railing, and began to look at the few falling stars in the sky, and it was always easy to sigh a few times when the moon rose and sunset.
An orange cat walked by the eaves, stepping on the tiles and making a dull noise, perhaps it was also curious, and came to see the new stranger, and greeted him first.
Then the oblique moon sank, and there was no one in the world.
