Sycamore Falls Chapter Twenty-Nine. At first glance there is a clutch
The rain of early spring is also very measured, the moment before the sky is clear has stopped, seeing the foggy air filled with the smell of fresh grass, at this moment the eyes, ears, mouth and nose will become extremely sensitive, in the unity of the senses, I can't tell what kind of pleasantness, just feel that a mysterious power seems to be teasing people's potential. He also washed up early and waited for Yuhua, and today, she decided to make it clear to her mother.
As usual, he still called Yuhua to get up first, and then pushed and lifted the quilt again, prompting her to wake up. She doesn't have the worries of spring, just because she always wears thick clothes, and she doesn't treat him as an outsider. The repeated offensives were obviously extremely effective, Yuhua quickly realized that she was a guest at someone else's house, so she hurriedly put on the clothes hanging at the head of the bed, neatly packed herself, she took her own wooden comb, and tied a few pigtails in front of the mirror with a flower tendon rope, straight or oblique faintly in the dense hair like a waterfall, flamboyant but graceful.
She did not hesitate to show him the first gesture, at least the mention of the boudoir had disappeared from her general impression, and he had been sitting on a stool not far away waiting for her, which he had neither learned nor could interfere with.
"Yuhua, shall we go back today? I know you're not used to living outside, and you still recognize the bed, so I'm going to go see my mom first, and then take you to my rented house, after all, you'll be living there for a long time soon, so it's better to recognize it first. He was a little apprehensive, as if he had been making decisions all along, and no one had given Yuhua a chance to choose.
"Well, I'll listen to you, Dad said that I will listen to you in the future, how you arrange it, it naturally makes sense, let's say goodbye to Aunt Lan later." She listened intently and laughed silly.
He always told himself not to be too sensitive, not to be stumped by something that he didn't have to care too much about, but after all, he couldn't escape the torture in his heart. When Yuhua and he were both children, she had already promised herself in childish games, saying that she would be his bride when she grew up, and she didn't pay attention to the pursuit of other partners, she just followed her around, how could he have thought that there would be a current situation.
"Brother Aning, if you lose this game, you will be my groom in the future, and I will also be your bride, don't bully me, you will be good to me for the rest of your life!" The words at that time didn't seem to be a joke, but when the memories rolled over this paragraph, he admired her at that time, and now he was not as courageous as before. Yesterday's heart-wrenching words should have made her sad.,The dream of this young girl with good wishes is being broken by the person she admires.,He likes a woman who is good friends with her.,Not with his childhood sweetheart.。
"Okay, I'll go talk to them!" He immediately took action and went to the third uncle's bedroom.
After a while, he came back, walking softly, "Let's go, Yuhua, I'll tell them okay." The third aunt prepared some food for us, which is fried crispy pork strips, you can take a look. He unfolded the old newspaper to reveal a large red and yellow strip, which the third aunt had carefully selected and taken from the corn heaps of the big mouth jar.
"Aunt Lan's craftsmanship is really good, and the old taste has not changed." Yuhua tasted one, then took another one and chewed it carefully, this thing is not hungry, and he has to go to the breakfast shop on the street.
The wet air was sprinkled with rain, as fine as a cow's hair, and I didn't know where it flew, but I saw a little green wave in the pond, and the black-gray carp that had not been seen for a long time floated to the surface of the water and was stunned.
Yuhua was on Yining's shoulder, holding a gray umbrella in her hand, and the shadow shrouded them, but this did not affect her mood, she only felt happy, because the person she relied on was warm, and this person also cared about her body eroded by the spring cold.
"Yuhua, you are really uneasy, you don't even feel your calf hurt, you still turn over the quilt at night, and you catch a cold, you girls are careful, I see, it's not as good as me!" He didn't think Yuhua was heavy, he just thought about taking him to the small pharmacy to grab a few medicines to cure the cold after breakfast.
"Brother A-Ning, I was wrong, I must find something to press the quilt when I sleep in the future, or I will wrap it in a roll, so that I don't have to worry about catching a cold, and ah, where can this disease be predicted, I don't want to be like this, I'm a patient, you can't worry about me." Yuhua raised the umbrella in his hand a little higher so that he could see the road ahead.
How he hoped that the person who was talking to him on his back at the moment was Gu Fang, but he knew that during this time, it was just extravagance, Gu Fang seemed to have a lot of scruples, although she was emotionally close, but it was only to the extent of being affectionate and polite, and she was not as lively as Yuhua who was playing. Out of respect for Yuhua, he quickly put down his thoughts, and suddenly raised his crossed hands to adjust her comfortable position, although the restaurant was not far away, but with this sick number, it began to become unapproachable.
People in big cities are no different, except that their horizons are broader and their minds are freer, as can be seen from the pictorial posters posted on the streets and alleys.
With Yuhua, it is inevitable to listen to some gossip, but it is an envious compliment, talking about some talented and beautiful things. He thinks that he is not as handsome as they say, but he is more thoughtful, not to be ugly, maybe because of Yuhua, so that he is more handsome, maybe when he is natural and harmonious, no matter whether he is beautiful or ugly, he has reached harmony.
There are no hot steamed buns in the small restaurant, and naturally there is no steam, but some porridge and kimchi are piled on high stools, and the names and prices of stir-fried vegetables are pasted on the walls. He asked Yuhua to order something he liked to eat, because she was always cooking his favorite dishes these days, and she didn't show her preferences in front of others, and his money bag was still bulging, signaling Yuhua not to worry.
"Brother Aning, you don't have to eat so much in the morning, just order a stir-fried meat with green peppers and a tofu soup." The price she chose was decent, and it didn't lose his face.
"Okay, next time, when you celebrate your birthday, tell me what you like to eat, and I'll make it for you. I finally came to the city, but I couldn't get you to have a big meal, and I still didn't want to go. He thought for a moment and said with a frown.
"No, the dishes in this restaurant are still well done, you see that there are still some pea tips in this tofu soup, oil foam, green peppers are fresh enough, the amount is enough, breakfast is already rich enough, when I celebrate my birthday, you just need to send me another garland, to be honest, I like the garland you braided..."
After breakfast, he took Yuhua to the old pharmacy in the corner of the street, Yuhua's calf was swollen and bruised, which should have been accidentally bumped when he passed the threshold yesterday. At that time, Yuhua's will was weak, no wonder it took a long time to feel something, which was the same as cutting rice during the busy farming time and accidentally injuring his fingers, which was a temporary blinding of the sensory will.
The old doctor in the shop concocted some ointment for Yuhua, wrapped it with white gauze and bandages, and took out colorful pills from the large and small medicine bottles, and folded them on gray square paper. After that, he heard the sound of tapping on the plate, it was the old gentleman settling the accounts, but he was not worried about spending too much money.
"Take the medicine after meals, three times a day, after three days, don't stop, and benefit three yuan and five corners." The old gentleman held the abacus and looked at the two of them with interesting eyes. There were no other visitors in the shop, and the old gentleman just smiled, and saw that he was a little stunned.
"Also, the medicine on this leg can't be wet, it has to be withdrawn tomorrow morning, walk more, and the effect of the medicine will be faster!" The old gentleman took the money and said some medical advice.
"Thank you, sir! Then we will go first, and we will definitely come back to you when we have the chance! He still didn't dare to look at it, because the old gentleman had a pair of plain and sharp eyes, as if he could see him through, and after saying the polite words, he pulled Yuhua and ran away.
"Brother Aning, what are you running, how good this old gentleman is, kind eyebrows and good intentions, my legs are cold and cold, very comfortable, so energetic, medical skills are so good, maybe I will ask for others when the time comes!" Yuhua was very puzzled by his strange behavior.
"Yuhua, you don't know, this old gentleman is really powerful, I just feel that I am a skeleton in front of him, completely seen through, that kind of momentum is clearly not an ordinary person, I think it's terrifying! What would you feel if you saw a tiger smiling at you? He had heard a lot of miraculous stories, and he had described them with oil and vinegar.
Yuhua also suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if the leg was not medicine but poison, and she seemed to feel the ants crawling on her festering wound, and her face gradually turned pale. She wanted to tear up this harmful thing, but she was even more afraid of the blur of flesh and blood, so she squeezed his hand, gradually stiffening, "Brother Aning, you still have to carry me, I want to go to the hospital to see again..."
"Silly Nizi! Brother teases you, you've grown so big, and you're afraid of those gods and ghosts, it's really the same as when you were a child! He told the truth, just to scare her, but the fear of the old gentleman was real, and he assumed that the gentleman had been a soldier and had seen the survivors of blood and tears.
He was beaten by Yuhua, and anyone who saw such a grievance would pity him, "Okay, you, you actually scared me again, if you do this again, I will ignore you!" Yuhua lay on his back, her hands tightened a little, like an angry daughter-in-law, who was coquettish with her husband.
The pedestrians on the road were disorderly, but there were not too many people who left their eyes, but there were a team of women standing in groups of three or five, and the spring rain was like oil, which fueled their gossip fire, so they looked sideways to discuss, as if they were arranging and guessing their stories, he did not respond to them, only whistled, and walked briskly.
They should be students in the city, and they should be the same age as their appearance and decoration, he just thinks it's a little strange, logically speaking, they shouldn't behave like this, and falling in love is not a common thing for them. But what he didn't know was that this group of fashionable-looking girls were four or five years younger than him, and they naturally looked taller when they ate well.
Walking to the small building, he put Yuhua down, and then walked into the darkness that he didn't see for a day, "Mom, I'm coming to see you, have you eaten?" If not, I'll go to the store and bring you some. He asked, turning on the light in the room.
"A-Ning, I've eaten, don't bother, your eldest sister left early in the morning, saying that she was going to work. Here is our mother and son, you tell me the truth, what do you think of Yuhua's child? The mother obviously came to question, but fortunately, it was not as intense as he thought.
"Mom, Yuhua is very good, I know this, but I don't mean that with her, I have someone I like, you don't have to worry about this..."
"Okay, okay, mom can't control you, from now on, you can think more and live up to it, Yuhua, this kid is pitiful, there will still be rumors without heels, you tell her, I want to take her as a goddaughter, call her to me, I will talk to her." His mother listened to him and finally made this decision.
He complied, helped Yuhua into the room, and then went to the stairs to listen to the rain, Yuhua did not stay in his mother's room for long, and soon jumped out with joy, she had completely forgotten her pain.
"Why are you so happy, Yuhua, your leg doesn't hurt?"
"Ahh How can there be, Brother Aning, let's go back to the county quickly, we won't have a car if we go late! ”
He didn't know why Yuhua was so happy, and he wouldn't explore the root cause, he only knew that he had finally gotten rid of the choice temporarily, and he was easily infected by Yuhua, talking and laughing with her.
The car was not slow, and it arrived at the station soon in a brisk atmosphere, he pulled Yuhua through the sparse ticket office, and suddenly felt that someone was following behind him, so he turned his head and saw a rare person - Shui Ling
"Xiao Ning, hello, I didn't expect to see me, I happened to have a full day off today, I wanted to go out with you, but it seems that today is not good. Anyway, I brought the wood carving I promised to give you last time, you have to put it away, well, this is the little beauty you came from, it's so beautiful! Shui Ling began to praise Yuhua without hesitation, and his eyes were full of appreciation.
"Sister Shui Ling, this is Yuhua, my sister, but I didn't come from somewhere, she makes a good dish, I can wait for it, I invite you to my house as a guest, haven't you always wanted to come and see, I am free before school starts." He introduced Yuhua to Shui Ling, and Yuhua also nodded and saluted.
"Okay, then I must make time to see Sister Yuhua's cooking skills, so let's say okay, I'll call you when the time comes, you must prepare in advance, and then give you a surprise!" Sister Shui Ling waved goodbye, as if someone was waiting for her in the distance.
"Brother Aning, how do you know Sister Shui Ling, she is so beautiful, don't you like her, I think she is very good." Yuhua looked at him who suddenly behaved differently, and had some questions.
"You're wrong, Yuhua, it's not her I took the initiative to know, this has to start with soy milk steamed buns, and also, Sister Shui Ling is beautiful, I like it, but she must have no shortage of suitors, I can't be too affectionate, look over there, those people." Yuhua looked in the direction of his finger and suddenly understood a lot.
"Oh, I see, I see!" Yuhua said slyly, "Now that I am also your sister, you have to make up for so many years, I want you to carry me home!" "She's such a clever little ghost, she can learn everything.
"Okay, that's right, my sister Yuhua!" Who called him a burdened life?
There are gray vines climbing on the blue brick wall, and most of the traces of those spots have disappeared at this moment, after all, spring has arrived, and we have to change our appearance and use our fresh life to welcome the beautiful sunshine and rain.
Gu Fang's house, the narcissus in the rotten porcelain basin on the wall was still open, and the puff was very energetic, but the old apricot was weeping and not growing alone in all corners, he took out the key, opened the three iron gates, and entered the garden.
"Brother Aning, this is Xiaofang's family, it's so beautiful!" Gu Fang is a beauty who loves flowers, and her name is right.
"Yuhua, you take a look at the house first, clean it up, and live here in the future." He told her some precautions, and then went to the old house to get things, after all, it was not one person who moved here, and the dishes and chopsticks had to be found again.
He opened the door familiarly, looked at his car, but it was stained with dust, this house is good, but it needs to be cleaned frequently, when he is happy, he doesn't need to worry about these at all, but now it seems that this house has been unoccupied for about ten days.
He thought it would take a small amount of time to clean it up, until he pulled out a very short letter from under his pillow, no more than three hundred words, which completely messed up his heart.
My friend Yining:
Acquaintance is only three years, you and I are already sympathetic to each other, Guan Shi Xiaoting's encounter, into the fate of you and me, now separated, regret and no regrets!
You are also familiar with Xinran, but the general trend is set, and people change the small trend, I have to make the decision to go away, and I did not inform her, I am willing to entrust you to take care of it, and prevent her from angering, thank you!
There is no family in the family, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, only to blame the ancestors for their decisiveness, and I don't have to complain. Reading books for a long time without a way, opening a stack in the mountains, building bridges in the water and suffering from no holes, Brother Fang, is really ridiculous! And if you have real talent, you will be able to do something that you can't do, I don't have a chance to see it, I regret it!
I know that I can't bear it, and now I am sorry to resist it for the time being, my heart is like a knife and even worse, I can't bear to be hurt, and I have no regrets!
If you want to find me, five years later to Guan Shi Xiaoting, and then no matter whether it succeeds or fails, I will return to my hometown, I hope that my friends promise this promise, goodbye!
Dongyang left in style, but left him with a problem, she couldn't imagine how she would behave after knowing it, it should be another storm, he had to think carefully about it.
Isn't there always a foretell of life's separation, but more of a surprise or fright? Dongyang's decision he supports, rather than being trapped in a cage for a long time, it is better to pierce the blue sky and see that Lang Lang, but the price of this attempt is to be guided by lovesickness, which is bitter and unbearable.
It's hard to say goodbye when we meet, and he is probably afraid of seeing Xinran's warmth, but he is reluctant to leave!
He wiped his tears and burned the letter.
