Chapter 9: Summer Vacation
Maybe I don't count the time as much as I did when I broke up before, looking forward to the next time we meet, and somewhere in my heart I have set the future, and this summer vacation will pass a little faster than expected.
After the elementary school holiday, my father took over the renovation of a three-story rough house, and in the town, he had to go out at half past five in the morning, and arrived home at nine o'clock in the evening, and he would bring some snacks back to Chen Huchen every day.
After the granary was filled with year-old rice, my mother and aunt worked as part-time laborers in a newly opened cotton factory in a neighboring village, and would come back at noon to accompany Chen Huchen to eat.
Chen Huchen, after the plan to go to the county town with Xie Haoyi for a summer job failed, he was determined to implement his parents' three no's concept - not assured, reluctant, and not allowed. Stay at home honestly, read, write, cook, do housework, and do some part-time work to earn some pocket money. She found a job making handmade hair ropes and handmade trinkets from her cousin Yuanyuan.
A hairrope with beads and a bow can earn a penny, and she can make about seven or eight hundred a day.
Small charms, such as some use more than 100 small beads with a diameter of 0.3cm to weave mobile phone charms, because of the fine, cumbersome, it is a little more expensive, three cents a, she can weave more than 100 a day. The Chinese knot is the most expensive, five cents a piece, and she can weave fifty a day.
After calculation, she can probably earn more than 30 yuan a day, but in half a month, she earns more than 500 yuan. This amount can be said to be a lot of money for her, who is only a prospective high school student.
It's just that it's only more than 500 yuan.
Chen Huchen's hands are particularly soft and delicate, as if they are boneless, pulling those lines for a long time, the amount of activity is large, the fingers are rubbing, red and swollen, and the joints are also faintly painful.
Since her parents found out that she was secretly rubbing medicinal oil, the two went to her room, spoke softly, distressed, and opposed, and did not allow her to continue. Cooking, doing housework, studying, it's tired enough, the family doesn't lack her money, how much pocket money she wants, her parents try to satisfy her.
In the end, when my mother looked at her hand, her heart was so painful that she was about to shed tears.
What else can Chen Huchen say, no. comforted my mother, listened to my father's teachings, and then devoted myself to being a good girl.
In fact, that night, Chen Huchen was very uncomfortable, obviously her parents were just good for her and distressed, but she seemed to have lost something suddenly, and there was nothing to fill.
I don't know what I'm going to do next.
The admission notice was received, and Chen Huchen was admitted to the county's experimental middle school with the first ranking score in the county, and the school started on August 23 with a week-long military training. The secondary school that Xie Haoyi enrolled in also opened at that time, except for a different school, they can basically go to school and leave school together as in junior high school.
From childhood to adulthood, due to too many moves, Chen Huchen basically had no friends, and after coming to Yangqiao Village, Xie Haoyi can be said to be her first real friend.
In junior high school, Chen Huchen's personality became more and more shy and deep, plus she talked little, studied well, and was rumored to be a "school flower" or something, which gave people the impression of "not a type of person". Although she is kind to everyone and can help, there are no girls who want to develop friends with her, and ask her to go shopping on weekends or something.
Even Lin Ze had noticed this, he neither let her open her heart nor teach her to take the initiative, but told her: "Don't think too much about you, you elm head, be yourself, it's great to grow up well, don't rely on friends who can be flattered and accommodated." If I really like you, even if you don't look for it, I will come. What you need is the kind of friends who will be happy and comfortable together. You'll have ...... Turn your head and I'll take a look. ”
Looking back, Chen Huchen only had one friend left, Xie Haoyi. She cherished it very much, but she never expected her to be Xie Haoyi's only friend, what she wanted was each other's best friends.
It's just because she knows that Xie Haoyi has never lacked friends.
Hearing that Xie Haoyi came home from a two-month summer job, Chen Huchen suddenly lifted her spirits and went to her with great interest, wanting to tell her that she would go to school together in two days, and planned to go to the county town with her tomorrow to have a walk and have fun. Just like every time before school starts.
Xie Haoyi worked in a garment factory in the county, and there was a dormitory, and she stayed all the time, and she never returned home in the middle. Chen Huchen hadn't seen her for almost two months, and when he saw her, he didn't recognize her, but just a refreshing feeling.
Xie Haoyi has become a lot whiter, and she has gained a little fatter, she looks very good, and her clothes are not as simple as before, beautiful and fashionable, she wears it, like a girl in the whole city. The biggest change is that she has curly hair and dyes it yellow, which is the most popular hairstyle nowadays, Chen Huchen has seen a certain female model in a magazine also has that hairstyle, which is very good-looking, but it is a little unsuitable for their age, and she is a little mature.
Xie Haoyi said that she just wants to be mature, and what secondary school students pursue is external beauty, as for Yan Ruyu, she is a symbol of beauty for students in key high schools.
The self-deprecation and sarcasm in the words, Chen Huchen saw it and heard it. was rubbed and looked at just now, and before she could calm down, a girl who was almost exactly the same as Xie Haoyi came out of the room, with a hairstyle, clothes, shoes, and even the pink on her nails.
Before Xie Haoyi introduced the girl, she also attached it to Chen Huchen's ear and told her that their underwear was the same today.
That girl is from the county, her name is Weiyi, she even has a good name, she and Xie Haoyi met when they were working, and the important thing is that they are more than the same age, and they will both study in the same secondary school. For two months, the two girls were inseparable and became best friends.
In two days, the two will report to the school together. The phone rang, as if it was a Q message from a certain boy, and they were somehow so excited that they couldn't do it, and they got carried away with the discussion.
Chen Huchen stood aside, feeling that he was a red dot on a white cloth, an eyesore and terrible. She said it was time for her mom to look for her, and she was leaving.
Xie Haoyi was stunned for a moment, and then said with an understanding smile, go back, lest your parents call the police.
Chen Huchen knew, Xie Haoyi was still angry, angry that she didn't go with her, angry that she would always know that it was time to go home.
When he got home, his parents hadn't gotten off work yet, and Chen Huchen finally became unscrupulous and cried happily.
Perhaps, not everyone at this age will be like this, thinking that they are wishful, but they will have scars, what kind of posture is more sad, they will inevitably cry, and then for sobriety, strive for satisfaction, and finally they will not be able to withstand the trouble, this reaction may be because they grow up to have a scepter and spur the heart that is growing up.
No, no, who changed whom, why so, it can't be without the same wishes.
There will always be, there will be.
Chen Huchen struggled out of bed, rushed to the living room, took out the ice cream from the refrigerator, sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, tore off the ice cream paper, and bit down, the TV broadcast the sound, the ice cream frostbitten his teeth, and the TV destroyed the silence, nothing is good.
She was eating ice cream while changing the channel, it was all news in the evening, it was not good, the real thing was the worst, she turned off the TV.
Her stomach suddenly ached, and she realized that she was trembling all over her body and tears were streaming down her face.
I can't eat the ice cream, put it back in the refrigerator, I can't waste it, and my parents have a hard time making money. They loved her so much, she had to be a good boy.
She also worked hard, she loved them so much.
Looking at the wall clock on the wall, before it was time to cook, Chen Huchen returned to the room, took out an MP3 from under the pillow, and wanted to listen to the song. I pressed the switch, there was no sound, I pressed and pressed, and I changed the battery, but there was still no response at all.
It's broken, it must have been listening too much.
At night, see if Dad can help her fix it.
Chen Huchen looked at the time again, and there were still more than three hours before his father came home. She lay on the bed, facing the window, looking out at the sunset in the distance.
Still have to wait.
Wait.
is growing up, what is growing up, the intensity of the seven feelings, experiencing, getting used to, familiarizing, all the sadness and all the loss, will be the touchstone of growth, just move forward towards the best way forward, why bother to make a big decision to hurt your body.
