Sycamore Falls Chapter 35. Time flies

The scenery in the city is no better than that of home, which is what he summed up when he first came here, and the middle school in the county still borders the countryside, but the idyllic city in the center is difficult to see. There is less human touch in the city, it is a chaotic and impetuous atmosphere, at least in the overall perception he thinks so, without the quiet life of the lake and mountains, he misses his hometown more and more, if there is no Su Kite by his side, he is almost crazy, nearly a year he still has not been able to adapt to this heavy and realistic life, the people in the class are very indifferent, I don't see a few flesh and blood, the kind of city life is superior to the contempt that crowds out him and Su Kite, there seems to be a thick layer of iron wall to block, Perhaps this is the so-called "single-minded reading of the sages".

He had finished his first year of high school and was now doing his homework to the lazy students in his rented room, and he continued to do the homework for others to make up for it. The housing prices around the school are higher than those in other places, whether they are buying or selling houses or renting them, even if Sister Yue'er gives them a discount, they are still short of money.

During the Chinese New Year, he took Su Yuan back to see his mother full of hope, telling the joys and sorrows of the past six months, and his mother advised him to have a normal heart, not to pay attention to those icemen, as long as he cherished that he made two or three close friends. He also listened, but still felt unhappy, so at the end of the semester to the head teacher asked for a transfer class, fortunately, the head teacher was reasonable and accepted, after all, guarding a lifeless senior class, his heart was also extremely uncomfortable. He had the courage to be freed from this backwater, and naturally won the strong support of the head teacher.

"Yining, don't forget my head teacher when you and Su Yuan transfer to another class, the atmosphere of the parallel class is good, don't forget to study!"

He still remembered what the head teacher had said very clearly, but when this summer passed, there would be very few opportunities to deal with him again, and he wrote this sentence into a diary that he had not used for a long time, and it was regarded as a souvenir. Since high school, the intensive work arrangement has made him have less and less time to write a diary, only the miscellaneous sentences made up by leisure are sparsely placed in it, and because there are too many subjects in high school, most of his books are memorized with all kinds of topics and analysis.

"Little kite, Xinran just called, let's go over and play, you pack up, and we'll go out later." He counted the time and called out to the inner room.

Putting down the pen and closing the pen with all the ink, he went to move the pot, the sun's rays had shifted to the balcony, and he didn't want the potted plant, which had just bloomed for a few days, to be sunburned, and then bring a leaky plastic bottle to water it.

"A-Ning, I'm fine, let's go out!" Su Yuan is wearing a long white skirt, white sandals wrapped around her feet, and a beige hat on her head, which can be described as fully armed, she is not very dressed, she only takes some water to wash her face on weekdays, and applies the spring juan baby cream that has not changed for decades.

"No, you can't go out yet, you have to take a shower first, the smell of this body can't smoke Xinran to death, she called us to go, there must be other guests, otherwise they would have run to our side a long time ago, you still say that you are smart, why are you so stupid at this time!" Su Kite's sense of smell is very sensitive, and he pushes him to improve his image.

"I'll pick out the clothes for you, and you'll wear them out later, you have to make a good impression on the guests, and buy some fruit on the way to bring it over, which can be regarded as a serious visit." She took the clothes pole, took some clothes from the high place where they were drying, put them in a bag, and handed them to him. She didn't actually have to bring anything with her, between her and Xinran, and even the three of them, they didn't need to be so polite.

"Okay, I'll go get it, if you don't go first, I'll be there later."

"Then I'll go slower and wait for you on the road."

The wind chimes on the eaves rustled, the summer wind was warm and cool, and soon after I saw the two walking side by side on the long street in the shade of trees, but they did not hold hands, which was all intimidating, otherwise Su Yuan would definitely express her closeness without jerkiness.

Xinran's rented house is very narrow, except for the bed and desk furnishings, the remaining space can roughly stand three people side by side, but the space outside the room is very large, and there is also a round table for weekday meals, and there is not much scenery outside, only a few pots of flowers given to her by Su Yuan.

"Little kite, A-Ning, you are here, I have been waiting for you for a long time, come and help! Wait a moment for a guest to come. She was wearing an apron, and sweat was already on her forehead.

"I knew someone was coming, and I'm glad you could have prepared so much to eat?" Su Yuan looked at the full food in the kitchen and was a little surprised.

"Oh, I went to a few vegetable markets to buy all the ones, don't say more, come and help, I won't tell you who is coming, keep some mystery and let you guess a little longer."

Su Yuan was happily dragged to the kitchen to help, while he laid out the homework and continued to help people rush to work, this is indeed a technical job, he also has to imitate the handwriting that is roughly not bad, but sometimes the cursive words are simply elegant, and he is more drunk than Zhang Xu, and he can only let go of himself to get some charm.

The aroma of fried chili peppers came from the kitchen, it seems that the hot pot is bound to be scalded tonight, he shook his head very helplessly, and he happily loves to eat hot pot. Indeed, only hot pot can hold everyone's heart, elegant and vulgar appreciation, the hot atmosphere is incomparable to other dishes, in this party moment can be relaxed, toast and talk.

After an afternoon of busy work, they finally had a free time, so they all came to watch his imitation. The inspection work was naturally in place, because she was the legendary supplier, and the stacks of question books she had collected from small sources were from some playful classmates in the second middle school.

"Hey, how do I look like this one is mine, it's not good! Show it to me! She hurriedly snatched it from his hand and looked at it carefully.

"A-Ning, I'm going to be miserable, the teacher asked me for my homework by name, and specially told me to write it with a red pen as a template, as soon as you get this black ink, the teacher will definitely clean me up at the beginning of school, and blame me, who called me a rough branch, forget it, I will be beaten if I am beaten, I admit it." Xinran listened a little frustrated.

"A-Ning, what can I do about this? No. 2 Middle School is the same as us, there are not many copies of this booklet, even if you go out to copy it, someone has written it, and it will be even worse if you lie and lose it. No, you broke out of the disaster, you have to find a way, or you go and plead with the teacher to see if he has a clean book to get back, with your face, he will definitely agree. Su Yuan squeaked.

"Xinran, don't be in such a hurry, mine hasn't been written yet, it's all used first by other people's first to finish writing the topic and then copying, my book is not stained with any ink, just a little gray, wait for me to go back and get it to you, but the content in front of you can be written in vain, and you have to rush to work." He said unhurriedly.

"It's good to have it, it's a shame that you have this good habit, and you still have a way back." Gladly relieved.

"Where does he have good habits, he is clearly lazy, the blind cat meets the dead mouse, he is tinkering with his novel all day long, if you didn't call us today, I don't think he would have gone out." Su Yuan was counted, and she was still angry that she didn't read the content of the novel.

"Okay, I'll admit it, but it's not like I won't show you, I'll have to wait until I'm done writing it before I take it out, okay, this inspiration, fleeting, this hatching chick can't just hatch half and run away!" He tried hard to explain.

"It sounds a little reasonable, but when you finish writing, you have to be the first to show me, otherwise, I'll find Xinran to serve you with a fist!" Su Yuan threatened.

"Okay, okay, I promise you, but don't take her with you, I don't want to mess with Xinran." He was a little afraid, even though Xinran was much more ladylike now, there was still blood in her bones.

"Okay, don't scare him, I've bullied him for a few years, and now you look at his body, I can't move anymore, but if you do bad things to the little kite, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings!" happily shared the same hatred with Su Kite.

Just as they were talking about the recent interesting things that happened around them, the doorbell ringing on the side of the building, he walked quickly to the door to peek into the hole, although there have been a lot fewer door-to-door robberies and sales in recent years, but he is still vigilant and doesn't want any accidents to appear, but he didn't see any villains, only Tan Qiudian with a smirk.

"Ouch, Old Tang, why did you open the door, how long have I been outside this door, don't say I came empty-handed, I bought you some fruit." He was dressed plainly and coolly, not like he used to be.

Su Yuan and Xinran naturally knew him, and after greeting each other, he found a wooden chair to sit down and talk to Yining.

"Qiudian, you have changed a lot, are you stimulated, this hairstyle is too exaggerated, and you still have tattoos on your arm, I really can't think of it." He shook his head, sighing at the change.

"Hey, Old Don, I'm normal, don't think crooked, it's just a matter of trying some new things during the summer vacation, and I'll be back to the same before I go back to school." Tell you secretly, I like a girl at work, and I'm pursuing her, so you have to give me some advice, and if I'm lucky enough to succeed, I'll treat you to dinner to express my gratitude......"

How could he never have imagined that Tan Qiudian would undergo such a major change in a year, the shy and silent man who only spoke more in front of his friends grew up again, love does have a mysterious power, which can prompt the ability to arouse people's potential and achieve things that could not be done originally.

"By the way, Lao Tan, who else is coming over, you give me a thorough explanation, I'm glad that she has been hanging my appetite, I can't guess." He inquired about Qiudian.

"Well, I only know that Zhou Qing and Lu Yun are coming, they seem to be going to the station to pick up people, and I don't know when they will arrive." Tan Qiudian revealed what he knew.

The charcoal stove has boiled the pot on it, and the round table has been filled with a variety of dishes, and there are eight stools around the table, and they are sitting and waiting, and they will never eat until they are gathered, which is a sign of respect for the guests who have not yet arrived.

"Ding Dong ~ Ding Dong..."The doorbell rang again, Su Yuan hurriedly ran over to open the door, only to hear a burst of "Su Yuan, happy birthday!" Happy birthday, little kite! He suddenly remembered what he had forgotten, today is indeed a little special, it is Su Kite's birthday.

"I, I forgot, damn it!" He condemned in his heart that he had forgotten such an important matter, and had not even brought a long-awaited birthday present.

Before he could recover from his self-blame, he felt a black shadow in front of him, and a warm little body suddenly crashed into his arms, "Second brother, I miss you so much!" I didn't know if I came home to see me on vacation, so I had to ask Sister Yuhua to take me to see you, I want to play for a few more days, and I also want to go to play with Sister Jingyun, second brother, you must take me with you these days, I have a lot to say to you. Shi'an's words pierced his heart, why didn't he want to go home, his mother always said that he would fight by himself, and she would take care of everything in the family. How could he not know the reason why his mother did not want to see him, she just did not want to be a burden to her son, adding another obstacle to his education.

"Zhou Qing, Lu Yun, come and sit down, Yuhua, you don't have to be restrained, come to me." He beckoned to the people who had all eyes on him.

"Old Tang, you have a good sister!" Tan Qiudian did not hide his envy.

Everyone at the round table talked about the joys and sorrows of the past year, from the relationship between teachers and students to personal interests, and then from the video game music hall to the legends and anecdotes.

"Let's raise a glass together and congratulate Miss Su on her sixteenth birthday!"

"Thank you! I accepted your wishes, and took time out of my busy schedule to arrange this for me, really, really thank you..."

"Little kite, I prepared a gift for you, but I haven't brought it at home yet, don't be angry with me, I apologize to you." He whispered with his head down.

Before he could finish speaking, Su Yuan stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek, his half-spoken words stopped, and it seemed that even the air was stagnant, he really didn't expect that the drunken Su Kite's courage had become so great, he peeked at the others, and no one seemed to notice her actions.

"I don't blame you, you can accompany me is the greatest gift." Su Yuan whispered in his ear.

The party was still going on, and the small birthday cake was lit with sixteen slender colored waxes, and she made a sweet wish in the birthday song sung in unison.

Staggered, half-drunk, it was night, the beds were stacked, and he and Qiudian were lying on a field mat and talking.

Time always inadvertently changes everything around him, from the personal appearance, body shape, and even personality, to the urban and rural reconstruction, moving mountains and reclamation and other landform characteristics, but now, he can't see these in his eyes, he just hopes that such a happy time can pass slowly, for a longer time, but unfortunately time will change because of personal will.

Life is between heaven and earth, if the gap between the white horse passes, it is sudden.
