In the summer of graduating from junior high school, Xia Xiaowu completely lost contact with Jing Fanhua, and the so-called contact was not those numbers that stayed in the phone book. Connection, like the distance between people, like standing at the intersection of intersecting lines, watching each other get farther and farther away, but still choosing to be indifferent.

"Little Wu, let's go downstairs and buy a bottle of cold beer for Dad!"

Xia Xiaowu was buried in the newly bought computer all day long, and his body blowing the air conditioner was obviously unwilling to move, "Mmmmmm, wait a while......"

Five seconds later, the tranquility was broken, "Xia Xiaowu, I didn't hear your dad talking to you!" Hurry up! You've been staring at the computer since the morning, and you're going blind...... "At this moment, your body is neat, and you quickly change your clothes and go downstairs."

The empty bottle in his hand swayed, Xia Xiaowu pushed open the iron door, and a burst of heat came to his face.

"Little Five......" Luo Huaicheng stood at the door with indifferent eyes.

"Ah Cheng?"

It was the first time I saw Ah Cheng that summer, and his skin was slightly tanned. Since the Chinese New Year at the beginning of this year, Ah Cheng has lived with Uncle Luo for a while. Listening to Aunt Sufen, Ah Cheng participated in a month-long summer camp, and the summer camp was jointly organized by a famous school in Z City, and Uncle Luo specially helped him to register for the name, saying that it would be helpful for the college entrance examination in the future.

"How's the summer camp going?" She swayed her bottle and rubbed her slippers.

"Making papers and listening to teachers is no different from school classes."

Xia Xiaowu nodded sympathetically, "I haven't come down yet, hmm......"

Luo Huaicheng tilted his head sideways, "What's the matter, I didn't do well in the exam?" ”

"I don't know." Xia Xiaowu shook his head, "The grades haven't come down yet, I'm thinking, in a few days, there will probably be no comfortable days." ”

Lu Huaicheng's lips raised slightly, and he took the wine bottle in her hand, "Girls who are always comfortable will get fat, and at that time, no one wants you." ”

She glanced at her stomach and slammed it with her fist, "Luo Huaicheng—what do you mean?" ”

He curled his lips to show the upper row of white teeth, "I, I, I'm kidding." ”

"You-you're not admitting mistakes!" She looked at Ah Cheng's eyebrows and smiled purely, "I learned badly from others when I went to a summer camp, you say, who is it!" I can't smoke him! ”

Ah Cheng shook his head and looked at her blankly, snap! A mosquito was slapped to death in her leg.

With a rub of his hands, the ashes are gone...... He hung the tissue in the air and floated awkwardly in the air.

"I'm also for you, you said that you count all day and do problems all day long, your brain is less rooted than others, and you can't react if you bully others one day."

Luo Huaicheng picked up her hand and wiped it seriously.

"Understood?"

Ah Cheng smiled, saw her withdraw her hand with a serious face, and immediately stopped Xiao Mumu and nodded, "Understood." ”

Xia Xiaowu has always been the monkey king in the alley, no one dares to move, let alone the person she covers. I still remember the first time I saw Ah Cheng, just under the big locust tree in the roadside park, he was robbed of the trolley by several elementary school students, and he hid under the tree and didn't dare to go home.

Xia Xiaowu has always been the most clever, she is clearly only in the middle class, with a pretentious posture, those elementary school students really thought he was the child of their homeroom teacher's family, and quickly turned around and slipped away.

It was under the big locust tree in the roadside park that they married Jin Lan.

They had walked this road together for many years, and even the commissary owner was very kind. The boss likes Ah Cheng more, and to be honest, there are no people in the alley who don't like Ah Cheng.

Because no one will hate a child who is obedient in everything and has good academic performance.

"Ah Cheng is here, go get the beer from the refrigerator, and there is some ice in it." The boss leaned back in the sand chair and stared at the evening news, and there was a box on the table to collect money, and he didn't look at it much.

"Eh, eh! A little more ice in it, Ajuan, help him get it! ”

"Isn't this a little five, it's a holiday?" The proprietress poked her head out, "Have you scored in the high school entrance examination?" How many exams? Can you go public......?"

"Not yet...... Not down yet. She glanced at Ah Cheng and hurriedly hugged the beer, "We still have something to do, goodbye Auntie!" ”

"Hey! Ay! This kid ......"

……

"You're running so fast...... What are you doing...... Ah Cheng took a few breaths, "It's not like we didn't pay. ”

"You forgot that there was a final exam, and she pulled us to chat for a long time, which was more verbose than my mother, and there was ......"

"Huh?"

"Do you remember, I didn't see it in Animation City that night?"

"Of course I remember, it was the adventures of the little carp that were released that day."

The two of them laughed unconsciously, and the familiar melody of the animation city may have long been forgotten somewhere on the street corner.

Perhaps, the moment when the past is suddenly called childhood one day, it is called growing up.

"Ah Cheng, I really want to go to college, I really want to go to college in the blink of an eye, and it's time to go to college......"

The warm wind hit the face, washing away all the unpleasantness. But today, a long time later, Xia Xiaowu said the same thing: I really want to go back to when I was a child, I really want to go to elementary school in the blink of an eye......

But this summer, the last summer of Luo Huaicheng's Tongxia Xiaowu, will not stay.

The young man in his ear said: Little Five, I will see you again.

Cold beer bubbling, one, two......

……

The clock ticked for a minute and a second, and in the silence of the living room, one of the three people finally couldn't hold his breath.

"Kid dad, you, you go call......"

"I ...... I'll leave this matter to ......," Father Xia glanced at him, "Little Five...... What about the little five? ”

The child's figure was gone, and when he looked at it again, he was trembling and squatting in the corner with his ears covered.

A true warrior is one who dares to face a bleak life...... Xia Xiaowu reminded himself at this moment, looking at the changing expressions on their faces, he couldn't figure it out, guessed but avoided it.

A true warrior is one who dares to ......

They put down the phone, thoughtfully walked towards her.

She finally let go of her hand slightly, watching her parents' faces with joy, 592 points is the highest score in three years.

They will always say that Ah Cheng is a smart child, but they will only say that Xiao Wu is a hard-working child.

Because they all understand that hard work ...... Being smart doesn't matter in the first place.

592 points girl, with hard work in exchange for God's favor. At that time, Xia Xiaowu didn't know that the talent he had worked hard for was not of the slightest use.

"Provincial No. 1 Middle School, his father, can he really go on?!"

"Look, it's written here......" Father Xia patiently pointed, "Isn't this 590 points, Provincial No. 1 Middle School." Little Five is a full two points over! ”

The joy of the two of them did not dare to be too much in front of the children, perhaps the adults always ......

"Dad, Mom, I'll go to Ah Cheng!" Before his parents could speak, Xia Xiaowu had already rushed out of the door, she couldn't have imagined that she could be admitted to the provincial No. 1 middle school where Ah Cheng was, and she was worried that after going to the fifteenth middle school, she would not be able to meet Ah Cheng. Ah Cheng would be overjoyed if he knew the news.

"Ah Cheng! Ah Cheng! Ah......"

"Knock on what knock...... door opened, it was a young woman in her early twenties, she had never seen it before, but she seemed to know what she was coming from, "there is no one you are looking for here." The woman and the child have moved away, so stop knocking on the door. ”

Xia Xiaowu's hand slowly put down, "...... Moved? You mean, they moved away? ”

"yes, I moved out the other day."

"So, why did they move?"

"How do I know?"

"Huh!?"

The door slammed shut, and it was the woman's impatience.

……

The warm wind hit his face, washing away the corners of Xia Xiaowu's most proud mouth. She didn't know that the breeze that came quietly had already carried the parting, burying the memories of the old house deeper and deeper.

The street corners in the alleys repeat the songs of the animation city, there are no detectives, no monkey brothers...... If you have to lose some things when you grow up, can you ...... of those things Can you live without Ah Cheng?

"Little Wu, I'll see you again."

The last summer belonging to Xia Xiaowu and Luo Huaicheng, with the last foam in the beer glass is no longer there.

But parting, how can it not be troubled in people's hearts, the more you cover up, the more afraid you are of parting later.

【Small theater updated from time to time】

They were unlucky, they finally held a class reunion, and they could also meet the air conditioning in the private room that was broken, not refrigerated, and they didn't pay attention to Xia Xiaowu sneaking out to breathe, and the outside of the store was just facing the Dabei Lake in Z City, and there were pedestrians. She must have smelled the warmth of the early summer wind, and she thought of that summer again.

I think of the sizzling sound of beer poured into the glass, and the bitter taste is already sweet.

"Little Five?" A woman came down lightly on the steps, her long skirt swayed in the wind, and the bangs on her forehead were slightly lifted, Xia Xiaowu swore that she would never imagine when she went to school, and many years later, the flower who could eat three pieces of sauce and fragrant cakes in one breath would also become a gentle lady in a long skirt.

"Why are you here?" The two looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't think to say anything.

"It's not a weekend, I just want the weather to be good, and go to Dabei Lake for a walk." Jing Fanhua brushed the hair between her foreheads, "What about you?" ”

Xia Xiaowu pointed to the KTV and said helplessly, "There happened to be a high school reunion today, but the air conditioner inside was broken." ”

"High school? Can you still get together with your high school classmates? Jing Fanhua then nodded slowly, "It's good, since I graduated, my high school classmates and I rarely practiced." ”

"Actually, it's not a class reunion, just a classmate with a good relationship is going to get engaged, everyone wants to take this opportunity to get together, many of them are friends of friends, do you want to come over and play together?"

The wind in early summer was warm as if it was going to wet someone's eyes, but Jing Fanhua suddenly smiled and asked her, "I remember, you had a good relationship in high school, Lu Haoze, your neighbor brother, and who is the name, I forgot?" ”

Xia Xiaowu nodded, "Yes, they are all here today." ”

Fanhua shrugged, "It's okay, but can I bring someone?" ”

Xia Xiaowu's eyes paused slightly, "Oh, it's him, right?" ”

The smile of the flowers is like the last wisp of spring breeze, drowning in this summer of warmth.
