After Li Huizi and Li Zhen came out of Li Mingzhe's house, they felt a little lost and bored. Therefore, they did not go home immediately, but walked to the small river at the west end of the village.

That small river, which they have often come to since childhood, carries many of their youthful memories and happy times when they were children.

There are many acacia trees on both sides of the creek, and every summer, when the acacia trees are full of white flowers, they climb to the trunk with a sickle to pick the acacia flowers. Acacia flowers can be eaten raw or steamed and eaten. It's been a long time since they've been here together since they went to high school, and the smell of acacia flowers is still in their memories.

"The acacia trees are still there, but the trunks are thicker; The creek is still the same creek...... It's just that we've all changed. Li Huizi sat on the edge of the river and blew the piercing north wind, looking at the bare acacia trees and the unchanged river.

"Alas, Mingzhe became like this, all because of me, if it weren't for my things, he wouldn't have been beaten, he wouldn't have been suspended, and he wouldn't have dropped out of school now." Li Zhen leaned on the trunk of the acacia tree and blamed himself.

"Don't think too much, it's his own choice, and it has nothing to do with you." Li Huizi said with relief.

"Well, at least I'm an indirect murderer, right? If my uncle and aunt knew that Mingzhe was for me...... will be beaten by others, and now he is going to drop out of school ......, after this, can I face them? Li Zhen said with self-reproach and worry.

"I promise, I'll rot in my stomach for this thing in this life, so you can relax your heart. If he really regrets it in the future, it will be his own reapment, and it has nothing to do with you. Li Huizi looked at Li Zhen and said with relief.

"Well, how can I have peace of mind?" Li Zhen sighed heavily and said, this seemed to be said to Li Huizi, and it seemed to be talking to himself.

In the past, we said that we would always be together, climb mountains and mountains together, embrace youth together, and move towards the peak of life together...... As everyone knows, in just a moment, we are moving towards different lives.

The two looked thoughtfully into the distance, letting the north wind caress their faces without fear.

During this winter vacation, the four of them never kept the New Year together as in previous years, went to New Year's greetings together, and went to the temple fair together.

The four of them have been inseparable since childhood, starting their first year of their lives in the third grade, and finally ending their best years in the past at this moment of 2001 to 2002.

"Zhen'er, do you think we will really be unhappy when we grow up?" Li Huizi lay on the bed and said sullenly to Li Zhen who was lying beside him.

"I still remember when we were kids, we ate the ten jelly beans we bought for that dime and smiled brighter than we do now, and now I think about it as a child, but we always can't avoid growing up." Li Zhen said melancholy.

"When I was a child, I looked forward to growing up, and when I grew up, I realized that it was better when I was a child. I miss the time when the four of us were together as kids. Li Huizi said thoughtfully.

Li Zhen nodded in agreement, and the two of them lay on the bed and recalled their childhood.

When they were young, every time the wheat harvest season came, every family used a tractor in the field to press out a round wheat harvesting field, racing against time and time.

At that time, the adults were too busy to take care of them. The four of them laughed and ran around the wheat field. Occasionally, there will be a person who comes down to the venue to sell popsicles, and each of them will buy an old popsicle for five cents a piece, and when they take a bite, it will be cold from the heart to the heel, and it will feel very refreshing.

Whenever it is time for lunch, several families sit around each other, and everyone puts together all kinds of dry food that they carry from home in the morning, just like eating nine bowls in the countryside.

After the meal, I went to the field to pick a few watermelons and large melons, rinsed them with well water, ate a few bites sweetly, and looked at the harvest crops with satisfaction, and the feeling of happiness was born leisurely.

When she was a child, Li Huizi always didn't understand why several families sat around and looked at the tall piles of wheat in the wheat field. Now, at this moment, she finally understood how rare that simple joy of harvest was.

It's a new semester again.

Lee Jin has never ridden a bicycle alone since Lee Ming-che went on vacation, and she always asked her family to drop her off in town and hitchhike to school. The two people in the past have since become a lonely back.

Li Huizi and Li Haoyu set off to No. 1 Middle School on bicycles with luggage as usual.

Because the New Year has just passed, there are a lot of delicious foods at home, Li Huizi's mother feels sorry for her daughter, and when she looks at her growing body, she stuffs the delicious food at home, as long as Li Huizi can take it away, into her backpack.

Before leaving, Li Huizi did not ask her family for a lot of living expenses, she swore to her mother that she was guaranteed for this semester's living expenses, and she would get a scholarship after the start of school.

Li Huizi's mother was still a little worried, she was worried: "What if, what if you don't get a scholarship?" There is no shortage of money at home, so it's better for you to bring more than no money to eat at that time, right? ”

Li Huizi smiled and said to her mother, let her rather put her heart in her stomach, and she won the scholarship this time.

It was also with this confidence that she stepped into the door of No. 1 Middle School again.

Li Haoyu teased her that if she could really surpass Leng Leng's classmate and win the first place this time, he would invite her to lunch for a week, mainly because of the dishes and she ordered them casually.

Li Huizi said confidently, Li Haoyu is waiting to admit it.

After a winter vacation, Li Huizi's hair grew a little longer, but it looked better. Due to the fact that her hair was cut off, during a holiday, she was often told by her mother who loves long hair at home.

As soon as Li Huizi arrived at the dormitory, she saw the fairy waiting for her in the dormitory early. The fairy was overjoyed when she saw Li Huizi, hugging and kissing, and finally put her eyes on Li Huizi's bulging backpack greedily.

Li Huizi teased her that she was a drunkard every time, and she didn't mean to drink. Nominally waiting for her, in fact, I was looking forward to the delicious food in her backpack.

Sometimes, Li Huizi feels that the children in the city are quite pitiful, such as fairies, and the steamed buns eaten at home are all bought. And Li Huizi's snacks are all made by her mother. For this reason, she has always felt happier than a fairy.

The fairy finally took out the red date hair cake and a few side dishes specially made by Li Huizi's mother, as well as sweet potato balls, from Li Huizi's backpack, and ate them in a big gulp.

On the third day of school, the results were announced. Li Huizi really didn't break his promise, and he was one point more than Leng Leng and truly sat on the first throne. And Xiao Chen, unexpectedly slipped out of the top three and ran to the fifth place. ranked first in liberal arts, and was won the throne by Wang Yixiao.

When Li Huizi and Wang Yixiao stood on the podium at the same time and took a group photo with the scholarship, the first light of friendship also spread between them.

"Thank you, Wang smiled." Li Huizi looked at Wang Yi with a smile backstage and said.

"To be honest, I felt like I couldn't handle you before. If you are so polite, how can I be embarrassed? That's what I'm supposed to do. Wang Yi replied embarrassedly.

"The previous ones have let it pass, and we have to look forward. Tomorrow at noon, I will invite you to dinner. In the past, I asked Leng Leng to ask you, but you didn't appreciate it, but this time, please be sure to give me face. Li Huizi generously stretched out a hand to look at Wang Yixiao, and sincerely invited.

"Definitely, definitely." Wang Yixiao said with a shy smile. She never knew that Li Huizi was so bold.

Before walking out of the backstage, Li Huizi turned back and glanced at Wang Yi meaningfully, and said slyly: "I will call Leng Leng." ”

Wang Yixiao looked at Li Huizi's expression, and guessed what she was thinking, and smiled at Li Huizi embarrassedly, her face instantly flushed.

"Actually, I can be very good friends with her." Wang Yixiao thought in his heart, so he ran out quickly and chased the back in front of him.
