Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Scroll of Paper, To Youth
Grandma Hua loves plain clothes and loves to chat with the guests who come to the stall.
On weekdays, I rarely talk to her, but I like to listen to her stories, she will tell stories about her grandfather's pursuit of her when she was young, about her son in the county town and her fat grandson, and about a girl who died young. I listened to her while munching on the buns.
Today, she is different from me, in addition to buns, Grandma Hua also sent an extra dumpling corner and a piece of hair cake.
"Little baby, come, eat this cake and zongzi." Grandma Hua wore a big red flower shirt and happily pulled a stool next to me and sat down.
"Grandma, what is this?"
"You don't understand this, isn't it the college entrance examination today? Grandma told you, these zongzi and hair cakes, eat them in order, cake dumplings, cake cakes, can't you be 'high school'! This custom was passed down by grandma's grandmother, and grandma's grandfather was the top student in high school because he ate such a dish on the day of the exam!
You have to eat the baby too, what is Tsinghua University, Peking University, grandma is also happy. Who said that girls don't need to go to college and go to a good school. Hey! I don't know, grandma will have to use you as a signboard in the future! ”
It seems that today's red clothes are also for me or for those children who also have to take the college entrance examination.
My nose couldn't help but sour.
"Hey, why didn't that very energetic young man come, grandma hasn't seen him for a long time."
yes, I haven't seen him in a long time. Once two people haven't seen each other for a long time, life seems to be out of touch, and the days when they can think of each other are getting less and less.
"Him? He was escorted to college, so he didn't have to take the college entrance examination with me. ”
"Oh, escort, escort, in the future, you can get ahead."
I looked at my watch, and I was about to leave for school, and before leaving, Grandma Hua shouted at me, "Baby, don't be nervous!" High school, high school! ”
"Got it......."
There are many simple and kind people in Beicheng, whether it is acquaintances, or every passer-by on the street, or people who are driving in a hurry, all of them are silent on this day, and there are few shouts in the vegetable market, and no matter how urgent the traffic is, no one is impatient to honk the horn. The silence warmed me, and the people on the bus gave me encouraging looks.
As usual, I lowered my head, and this time, I avoided the eyes of strangers, no longer because of timidity, but with a little shyness.
The prelude to the college entrance examination is a sunny beginning........
The Chinese composition of that year was entitled "I Have a Pair of Invisible Wings".
The song was popular in our time.
My wings...........
When I closed my eyes, the girl's appearance became clearer and clearer in my mind. I got my answer.
"I once fell into the world like broken wings, but I didn't want to have a Cupid in this world, she gave me the power of light, so that my scars condensed wings and broke out into butterflies........."
The exam went unexpectedly well.
During the lunch break, someone stood on the balcony and poured oil essence on her own person to refresh herself, and I stood by and watched her watch her rub the dark green liquid on her temples, blink, and then lift her mind to read a book.
In the eyes of others, I should be the kind of person who is very idle.
It's not that I'm sure of math, it's just that math is all about creation except for formulas and basic problems. Except for a few textbooks and workbooks, I should remember that the formulas have also been memorized, and there is really nothing to review.
It's the season of ginkgo biloba again, and I've been in this place for two years, and I've been in this place for two years, and I've been in the past two years from the hesitation and cowardice of my first arrival, and my memories, whether good or bad. Now that I think about it, it's incredible, for example, adjusting to life here, making good friends, and .........
And also...... Meet..........
"Hey, Mom, don't worry, I did well in the Chinese test." The girl suddenly picked up her phone and answered the call.
"You guy, here you are again, report good news and not bad news, you have to take a good math test in the afternoon, look at the questions carefully, although I don't expect anything from your thirty points of math, you just do your best, is the meal delicious, what are you eating......." There was an intermittent nagging on the other end of the phone.
The girl interrupted her mother with a slight impatience, said perfunctorily that she knew, and hung up the phone.
She shouldn't have known, how envious I was of this call she received, and heard these nagging. Compared to no one cares, what is it to listen to the nagging of relatives?
I looked down at my phone, Mom and Dad, will you call me?
Perhaps, I'm looking forward to it.
At this time, the phone screen lit up, and the caller ID was a person who hadn't appeared in my call history for a long time.
My heart was happy, as if I had been knocked unconscious by a pie in the sky.
"Hey, Mom?"
I smiled happily like a lottery ticket, waiting for her long-awaited hush and warm encouragement.
"Xiaoge, you listen to your mother......... I divorced your dad, and in the future, you should follow dad. ”
At that moment, my head was empty all at once.
"Mom, do you know what day it is......" My voice suddenly whimpered, and I let out a mournful wail at my owner like an abandoned puppy.
"I'm sorry Xiaoge, mom is too busy....."
"Today is the day of my college entrance examination."
“.......... Sorry little song, I forgot. ”
"It's okay, you're busy."
I hung up calmly, as if I had just listened to a joke, and moreover, it was a very dry joke.
I'm sorry, between our mother and daughter, are there only these three words left?
The reason I'm so calm is because I know. From a very young age, I knew that they were not in harmony, and I did not expect them to sit down and have a meal together, I always crossed my fingers and wondered how long they could stay in the same house like this, and the divorce might be tomorrow. After a long time, I don't want to calculate.
But why, I have to tell me this during the college entrance examination.
"College Entrance Examination candidates, please note that the National Unified Mathematics Examination for Admission to Ordinary Colleges and Universities will now be held, and the homeroom teachers of each class are requested to bring the students of the branch to the headquarters to participate in the oath ............"
The sound of the radio suddenly covered the sadness in my heart.
"What are you doing? Come on, come here, the whole team. "Squad leader Gu Cheng beckoned to me.
"Oh....... Good. ”
In the afternoon, when I took the exam, it was very flat. I was so engrossed in solving the problem that I didn't even think about it.
Maybe I didn't think about it because of the pressure.
After walking out of the examination room and letting go of that breath, I remembered the phone call just now, and I had a feeling of waking up from a dream.
"Hey, Tan Lige, what's wrong with you?" Hao Jianren suddenly appeared next to me.
"No, not really."
"Oh........ If you have anything, you can tell me, and we'll ....... Anyway, it's a friend, isn't it?"
Looking at the tall fat man in front of me who was smiling a little shyly, I couldn't believe that I would be friends with this man who had mocked me on the first day of school.
"I'm fine, let's go home."
"So I'm leaving?" He took two steps out and turned back hesitantly, "Why don't I send you back, I'm just on the way." ”
I smiled and said, "You don't even know where my home is, how do you know about the way?"
"I guess. Since you don't want to, then I'll go first. ”
The sound of frolicking outside gradually faded into obscurity as time passed, and I walked around the campus for a long, long time, until a wall blocked my way, and when I looked up at the blank space, I suddenly couldn't stop sobbing.
I quickly covered my mouth and held back the tears that were almost pouring out.
Tan Lige, don't cry....... Now, no one is your dependence.........
When I cried to the corner, all that flashed in my mind was the beauty of the past, and it was much easier for people to accept than a blank in my mind, and even the memories were cold.
In this world, everything will spoil, vegetables and fruits will expire, even plastic wrap and refrigerators will expire, and the same is true for memories and relationships between people. This time, it's really irreversible........
Some people say that sadness is not enough for outsiders, because only you know how sad it is, and others can't empathize with it.
In fact, the feeling of sadness, sometimes we ourselves can't say, how sad it is, just feel that a heart that is already hanging suddenly fell off the cliff, and kept falling, falling........ The feeling of weightlessness suddenly weighed on my heart and could not be resolved, and even crying and crying, I didn't feel sad.
The ginkgo biloba at sunset is so beautiful, just like the story that ends with a perfect ending.
Suddenly a shadow shook beside me, and without warning a hand fell on my shoulder and pulled me toward him.
"Cry if you want to, what do you do with it? No one will laugh at you here. ”
Zhang Huaixu's voice floated over my head.
He was wearing a blue and white school uniform, his deep eyes looked into the distance, I don't know if the sunset was too gentle, and his angular face was also soft.
I just felt like my face was burning.
Isn't it ugly to cry just now, my most ugly appearance was seen by him, and it was the same before.
"How are you........ I didn't cry, who said I cried, I'm 17 years old........."
He suddenly hugged me into his arms, and even a little, abruptly.
"Even if you're 17 years old, I can treat you like a 7-year-old child........"
Pampered.
