Chapter 26 The Past Transforms the Present
When Ah Heng saw Si'er again, it was already May, when the weather began to get hot.
Ah Heng was walking alone on the way from school, Si'er laughed and patted her on the shoulder with a rude movement.
This girl is still beautiful and elegant, but she is no longer gentle and timid, delicate and delicate.
"Ah Heng, if you have any money, lend me flowers."
She no longer had long, soft hair, she had cut it much shorter, and she was thinner and darker. The mouth opened and closed, and was painted red, much like it had drunk blood. When she spoke to her, she no longer raised her eyebrows gently, but raised them, full of sharpness.
"Erl?" She wasn't sure it was Sir.
"Don't call me by my name." The girl waved her hand in disgust, and her fingertips were a dazzling purple color.
Ah Heng looked at her hand in a daze, she remembered that her mother had said countless times that Erer was the most talented piano child she had ever seen in her life. Those jade hands are naturally flawless, and any extra decoration is blasphemous.
Ah Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said embarrassedly: "These days, how are you?" ”
Sir raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What about you?" ”
Ah Heng pondered, is it good or bad? After hesitating for a while, he nodded and spoke seriously: "General." ”
Si'er sneered: "It's been so long, and you're still the same as before, hopelessly." ”
Ah Heng laughed.
"Don't talk about it, I have something urgent, you should have money in your pocket, borrow me some first." Sil was getting impatient.
"How much, what?" Ah Heng asked while picking up his schoolbag.
"Thanks!" As soon as Ah Heng took out his wallet, Si Er snatched it away, "As for what to do, it's not up to you." Of course, you can't control it. ”
She raised her hand, turned, and walked away cleanly.
After that, he never saw Sil.
In the basketball league, Sillin unsurprisingly made it to the semifinals, and the game was scheduled for half past eight on Sunday morning at the B University Coliseum.
Siwan and Xin Dayi practice vigorously on the basketball court in the yard every day. Ah Heng and Yanxi sat on the side and watched the two of them, handing a towel and throwing a bottle of water or something, but the actual help didn't help much.
Xin Dayi looked at the two people sitting in the shade of the tree and was really jealous, and when he sweated, he made a bad heart, and picked up the arms of the two to wipe the sweat. Ah Heng always stretched out his arm, smiled and handed the towel to the boy. But Yan Xi didn't have much grace, grabbed the young man's cheeks and threw him aside, and then kicked two feet.
"Yan Xi, men can't be so careful." Sindayi grinned and got up from the ground, his hands on the ground, sweat running down his vest.
Yan Xi didn't bother to take care of him, took a towel and threw it on the young man, and said lightly: "Wipe it, the sweat is dry, and there is still so much saliva." He squinted at the basket, and Siwan was still practicing his shooting repeatedly.
"Isn't it fun?" He felt incomprehensible, sticky all day long, stinky sweat, just for a worthless thing, he could buy a sack of anything that could be bought by selling any furnishings in his own house?
"Shhhh How can it be fun? It's a man's honor, honor! Sindayi was very excited.
Yan Xi plucked out his ears and was noncommittal.
"Dayi, when are you going to be lazy?" At this time, Siwan stretched his handsome face and looked at Dayi angrily.
"It's coming, it's coming!" The boy stood up and ran over with a smile.
Passing, dribbling, three-step layups, and pitching, the two teenagers cooperate very tacitly.
"Hehe, golden partner." Ah Heng concluded.
Yan Xi smiled, nodded, and suddenly felt a little confused: "You see, how many years have passed, and your brother and Dayi don't seem to have changed at all." Yan Xi compared his hand to the shape of a camera, and fixed it on the happy and sweaty faces of the two teenagers.
He smiled inadvertently, turned his head to see Ah Heng, and his smile suddenly stiffened.
This sentence is inertia, but who is it said by inertia?
Who can let her have such a powerful ability, many years ago, in Wushui Town, I saw from afar, the heroic posture of the two little teenagers, and many years later, at this moment, she echoed and said, "Yes, yes, there is no change".
Ah Heng pretended not to hear, and did not hear that this was what Si'er said.
It's hard to be confused, it's hard to be sober.
Sunday's game, after the morning competition, there was another practice match with last year's champion school in the afternoon, so Siguan and Dayi had enough time to eat at noon.
After discussing with his mother and grandfather, Ah Heng decided to cook a meal and send it over at noon. Siguan implicitly said that he wanted to eat stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, while Xin Dayi yelled that he would not marry non-onion fried lamb, uh, no, no.
Ah Heng sneered, went to the vegetable market on Saturday, and turned around for a long time before he bought all the side dishes. When I returned home, the sunset had already fallen on the red tiles, which was extraordinarily gentle and warm.
Passing by Mao'er Hutong, I saw that Xiao Shrimp was helping Grandpa He to close the stall, and the child rushed over, looking at her with bright eyes: "Sister and sister, what do you want to do for Brother Siguan and Brother Dayi?" I want to go on Sunday too, and I want to eat too! "The child is very eloquent.
Ah Heng smiled and kept nodding and saying yes.
"Grandpa, this is Sister Ah Heng who taught me to read, and she is good to me." He took the old man's hand and smiled so that his eyes were as clear as a stream.
The old man smiled wrinkled and kind, cramped, and thanked him again and again: "Good girl, I'm sorry for you, our Xiaoxia is playful and ignorant, so I'm bothering you." ”
Ah Heng blushed and was embarrassed: "Grandpa, you are too polite, where is it." ”
Suddenly, there was a burst of shouting and swearing in the alley, and one of them sounded very familiar.
The more Ah Heng listened, the more he felt that he was thrilled to be familiar, pondered, pulled his legs and ran to the source of the sound, and instructed the child as he ran: "Little shrimp, go home with grandpa first, don't worry about this." "She is afraid of the nature of very small children who love to join in the fun.
The shrimp is not happy, why don't you let me go if there is a lively look? Don't let me go, I'll go. So, the hind feet followed in a bumpy way.
Running to the depths of the alley, Ah Heng sighed, she hoped more than ever that her ear had heard it wrong, and as a result, she really saw it, Si'er.
Si'er was cowering in the corner at the moment, and two young men with dyed yellow hair in flowing clothes were talking unclean words and moving their hands and feet at her.
"Wensel, what are you pretending to be serious? Didn't you just jump past us yesterday, why don't you pretend you don't know us today? One of them pinched Sir's chin and said with a smirk.
"Fuck off, I don't know you!" Sir resisted, looked at each other in fear, and cried so much that his voice was about to burst.
"Erer, it's so late, why, don't you go home?" Ah Heng said loudly, smiling and looking in the direction of Si'er.
The two were stunned, they probably didn't expect that there would be people in such a remote alley.
Taking advantage of the time when the two of them turned back, Si'er violently broke free from the shackles and ran behind Ah Heng, trembling.
"Who are you?" The two men spoke viciously.
"I'm Er's sister." Ah Heng's eyebrows were calm and gentle, he took Si'er's hand and turned behind him, shouting into the empty alley, "Dad! Come on, Erl has found it! ”
"It's coming, it's coming!" A male voice could be heard faintly in the distance.
"Winsel, didn't you say you're an orphan, fatherless and motherless, and let us take you to mess around? What a fucking obscurity! When one of them saw this, he lost interest in scolding, and beckoned the other to leave in a hurry.
When the two of them were far away, Si'er collapsed on the ground in an instant, hugged Ah Heng and cried bitterly: "I'm so scared, Ah Heng, I'm so scared ......"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay." Ah Heng softened his eyebrows and gently hugged the girl to comfort her.
A child wearing a hat ran in the distance: "Hehe, sister, am I acting well?" ”
Ah Heng smiled well: "What do you say? ”
"Oh." The child broke his mouth, "Sister, I'm not taking advantage of you, you have to believe that Xiao Shrimp loves you!" ”
Ah Heng nodded: "I believe I do." ”
This distance was too far, and the bad guys were confused, so they didn't hear the voice of the "father" when he appeared on the stage.
didn't hold back, the girl in Ah Heng's arms laughed.
"Kitten peeing, crying and laughing!" The child shaved his pink face and laughed at Sir.
Ah Heng patted the girl's back and helped her breathe.
But when she raised her face, her tears fell more and more fiercely: "Ah Heng, I want to go home......"
Ah Heng walked into his grandfather's study, a little stiff.
"Ah Heng, what's wrong?" The old man was reading the newspaper, looked up and smiled. He couldn't see his granddaughter's well-behaved and silly appearance, which was really pleasing.
"Grandpa, are you busy?" Ah Heng whispered.
"Not busy." The old man shook his head and guessed, "Is there something going on at school?" Or did your brother, Yanxi, and Dayi team up to bully you? ”
Ah Heng shook his head like a rattle, and secretly sighed in his heart that they were really bad together in the eyes of adults: "Grandpa, I said, aren't you angry, okay?" ”
The old man nodded, looking at her lovingly.
Ah Heng lowered his gaze: "Grandpa, take Erer home, okay?" ”
The old man was stunned, there were only wisps of breath in the air, and there was silence.
After a while, the old man groaned and spoke: "Ah Heng, do you know what the result will be in this way?" Your mother will think more for Erer than for you; Siwan will take into account Er'er's feelings and ignore your ......"
His voice was majestic, but pitying.
Ah Heng chuckled, interrupted the old man's words, and said gently: "And grandpa......"
The old man was stunned.
"Grandpa was worried that he would do the same.
"Grandpa misses Erer very much, but he takes care of me and refuses to agree to my mother and Siguan.
"Grandpa, it's not wrong to be a little more aar.
"Grandpa, Er'er misses you very much."
The old man sighed, rubbed his eyebrows, and warmed his voice: "Ah Heng, you are just a child, you can be more willful." ”
"Grandpa, if every child is willful, adults will, it's very hard." Ah Heng smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were easy.
"Yes, but you are Wen Muxin's granddaughter, and you have capricious capital." The old man was in a deep voice, a little conceited and wise.
"Grandpa, this is not fair." Although she knows that she is her own granddaughter, not every silly girl born and raised in Wushui Town will be delusional that she will one day jump on a branch and become a phoenix.
Just like Wensel, who has willful and arrogant capital, he didn't necessarily think that he would become nothing overnight.
The old man smiled, his eyes full of relief and helplessness: "Let Erer come back." Anyway, this situation won't be stalemate for long. Soon after, Sir will probably go abroad. ”
At noon on Sunday, when Ah Heng arrived at the stadium on a bus with a lunch box, the game was nearing its end. 108
80, Cillin won the semifinals by a big score.
There was a cheer in the audience, and Xin Dayi jumped on Siguan excitedly, with a hard head and big white teeth that were very dazzling. Yan Xi sat in the stands, but he looked drowsy.
Ah Heng pursed his lips and sat beside Yan Xi quietly: "Siguan, Dayi, you see, Yan Xi is asleep." Eat quickly, don't tell him, I'm making ribs......" The soft and glutinous voice was very troublesome to the air, Siguan and Xindayi were obviously far away in the court.
Yan Xi sat up suddenly, staring at Shui Lingling's empty eyes: "Who grabbed my ribs?" Who, who? ”
Ah Heng hugged the lunch box and smiled so much that his millet teeth were exposed.
Yan Xi reacted and looked at the arena worriedly: "Did you win?" ”
Ah Heng's head nodded.
"Ah, this kid, I don't know you well, why do you love to flirt with people so much?" Yan Xi had the idea of joking, and spoke to Ah Heng pretendedly.
Ah Heng smiled: "Yes, yes, we are not familiar with each other." Hey, what is your name, I accidentally forgot it. ”
Yan Xi rolled his eyes: "It's over, you can be a little closer than this." ”
How much is a point? Ah Heng tilted his head and thought, but he didn't ask.
Xindayi and Siguan in the distance had already rushed over. One hugged Ah Heng, and his eyes were red with excitement: "Ah Heng Ah Heng, where is my green onion fried tender mutton?" I'm starving to death! ”
The other grabbed Yan Xi's neck, rubbed his head against the young man's back, and roared Yan Xi: "Wen Siguan, get out of here!" Smelly sweat and dirty! ”
"Oh, Sister Ah Heng, Brother Yan Xi, Brother Siguan, Brother Dayi, I'm here, I'm here, is there a full banquet of Bao Shen Wings?" At this moment, the little boy wearing a hat also happened to come from the sidelines.
It's messy, it's noisy.
It really quieted down when the food was swept away and a bunch of teenagers were burping with their stomachs and looking at the blue sky.
"Life is so good, tonight, if only I could eat crayfish and drink beer......" Sindayi dreamed as she picked her teeth.
"Preferably fresh Australian lobster......" Siguan picked.
"It's better to have a ...... treat to yourself," Yan Xi smiled.
Then Siguan paid the ......, "Xindayi, hehe."
Siwan couldn't hold back his convulsions: "Why am I paying?" ”
"Your family of two, are you embarrassed to let us have a treat?" Sindayi held his head high, and rightfully so.
Siwan, who has always been a gentle gentleman, smiled and acquiesced, and nodded.
Ah Heng snorted and got angry, girl, the scallion fried mutton is all in the dog's belly......
