Chapter 4: Birds and Whales (4)

Lin Anyu's family lives in a small alley, the advantage of this alley is that it is cool in summer, but in winter, it is cold unless there is something important, otherwise no one can see it outside. Every time it rains, there will be a musty smell in the whole alley, like uneaten leftovers being dumped in the gutter, accumulating over time, plus the garbage of each household, placed in a large pool. So in the autumn rain, as if a beast had been released, it crossed every part of the alley, and it was a smell that could not be concealed by precious perfumes.

Lin Anyu's inferiority complex should be formed here, when she was a child, she and her parents, parents and brothers were crammed into a small house dozens of years old, and after 16 years, when the girls from other people's families wore flower skirts, she could only play with mud with her eyes. Therefore, she just feels that she is not worthy of anyone, and she feels that she is lying when others praise her.

"Lin Anyu, your family lives in such a shabby place, it's really shabby." The sun was only a semicircle, but there were no seabirds, no horizon as far as the eye could see, and the remaining bright red semicircle was buried in the surrounding trees and desolation, slowly disappearing.

Lin Anyu looked back at the girl who was five meters away from her, her face was hit on her face by the shadows of the interlaced dead branches, blending with the last rays of the sunset, reminding her of a wizard in a black robe and a round peaked hat worn in an unknown ancient country.

"What are you looking for me? I'm done on duty today. Lin Anyu didn't continue to walk forward, the afterglow around her shrouded her, and the reflection hit her face, and she really couldn't see what the expression was.

Jiang Wan smiled, then walked towards Lin Anyu, and suddenly stopped halfway through, looked at the light that was about to disappear in her eyes and said, "Lin Anyu, didn't you say that you didn't see anything, why are you disobedient?" ”

Lin Anyu and Jiang Wan are not familiar with each other, they are really not familiar with each other, and they don't speak more than three sentences. Their eighth class is divided into two gangs, one is silent, or they don't care about anything in the class, Lin Anyu is from this faction, sometimes she feels like she lives in the deep palace, and she can't say a wrong word. The other faction is towards Jiang Wan, in their eyes, Jiang Wan is a goddess, the kind of perfect goddess who is good-looking, rich, and has good grades.

"I remember I didn't offend you, did I? If it's all right, I'm going home. ”

"You're still pretending to be with me, didn't you help your White Lotus at the same table today."

"I didn't help her, but you got my book off."

Jiang Wan sneered, then took two steps closer to her, and whispered not far from her, "You are really as disgusting as your poor father." ”

"Jiang Wan, there's something wrong with you, what are you doing with my dad." Lin Anyu regretted it after speaking, she tried hard to make her expression not look so angry, you must know that her father worked in Jiang Wan's factory, if she caused her father to lose her job, her mother would probably hate her even more.

Lin Anyu's hand clenching the corner of his clothes gradually sweated, and it took a long time for his slightly open mouth to say "I'm sorry".

She once again let go of such a thing as "self-esteem", maybe she doesn't need this kind of thing at all in people like her, it's too troublesome.

Jiang Wan stood next to her and laughed even more wantonly, I don't know why, she likes to see others bowing their heads to her, begging for mercy, and being tortured by her is worse than death.

This, from a medical point of view, is called psychopathology.

"You help her, and she won't reciprocate, the family of the woman who does that kind of thing should be very poor. Actually, Lin Anyu, you can also be with her. Your dilapidated house should also be replaced, maybe one day if you are lucky to meet someone rich who will take care of you, your family will not have to worry. ”

Lin Anyu's hand let go of the corner of her clothes, and the corners of her clothes were wet and wrinkled, forming an obvious boundary with the side, and unconsciously, Lin Anyu felt as if her fingers were pierced into the flesh.

It's strange, obviously you don't have nails, how hard it takes.

"Alas, don't blame me for saying something ugly, it's all in the same class, I'm also thinking about you, I see that you are my classmate, so let my dad in the factory treat your dad better, find more work for your dad to do, do more, earn more." Your dad may have endured hardship, he gets up early every day and goes to work without eating, as if he ......" Jiang Wan glanced at Lin Anyu, Lin Anyu's eyes didn't know when tears overflowed, and her eyelashes were connected with tears, and with the blinking of her eyes, there was a rhythmic rhythm, but she never let it fall.

The more Jiang Wan spoke, the more excited she became, as if she would not give up if she didn't provoke Lin Anyu. She continued with what she had just said: "Really... It's really like a dog, and everyone wants to kick it when they see it. ”

Jiang Wan held her stomach and laughed, and deliberately learned the way the dog panted.

"Smack." The laughter stopped, and the whole world returned to the same silence as before, maybe summer has not really passed, and autumn has not really arrived.

The distance between the two was no more than two meters, and they were pulled on the gravel road. Jiang Wan covered her cheeks, which turned from white to red, and looked at Lin Anyu with a meaningful expression.

"Lin Anyu, you will regret it. You'd better settle down and don't end up like your brother. Jiang Wan's voice is not as yin and yang as before, but it still feels uncomfortable to listen to.

The moon sprang up with a spike and shone faintly. Jiang Wan's hands trembled, the expression on her face seemed to declare something, and she walked away like this, as if she had walked into the haze. Lin Anyu had a feeling of a century difference, that was from day to night, but from that day on, it may be because of that slap, or because of that afternoon, maybe even earlier, her life has been completely disrupted and turned upside down.

Unbeknownst to her, it was a long-planned conspiracy.

The house is quiet, only there is a little light in the inner room, Dad should not have come back from work, Mom is not in good health, and she has been resting early.

"Why did you come back so late?" The headlights in the room were turned on, and Cheng Huajuan came out with a thin beige coat, her sparse gray hair, like a dyed wig, on her head, and her soft and weak body seemed to fall down with a light touch.

Cheng Huajuan used to be a big family, and when she was in college, she and her friends met a painting seller at the school gate, named Lin Yiyong. That Lin Yiyong saw that she had a good temperament, so he confiscated her money, and after a long time, the two gradually developed feelings, and the one named Lin Yiyong was Lin Anyu's father.

Cheng Huajuan thought that Lin Yiyong was the kind of person with ideals and ambitions, but after living together, she learned that Lin Yiyong smoked and drank every day, and basically achieved nothing except painting, and the two broke up many times. But Lin Yiyong is engaged in art, and there is always an unusual romance in his mind, so the two have been together for a long time, and when they couldn't bear it for the last time, they found out that they were pregnant.

People in that era may only get married once in their lives, and Cheng Huajuan doesn't dare to tell anyone about this kind of thing, so this marriage may be the most failed place in her life, she hates the child who came suddenly, hates painting, and hates the man who doesn't come back until the early hours of the morning every day.

Lin Anyu was stunned for a moment, it has been many years, her mother always doesn't talk to her well, she glanced at the food in the kitchen, although it was already cold, but it was still placed on the table in a regular manner, I don't know if I was waiting for her or waiting for my father.

"Mom, why are you up, you go back, I'll heat the food myself."

Cheng Huajuan ignored her, she put the fried potatoes and green peppers on the table back into the pot, the switch went around to the middle range, and in more than ten seconds, the rolling white gas came out of the pot, surrounding Cheng Huajuan, there was a feeling of the Virgin of Heaven, and there seemed to be a few barefoot little angels around, waving small wings with white feathers, which was an illusion that Lin Anyu had never seen.

That night, Lin Anyu felt inexplicably relieved, and the taste of shredded potatoes remained on her fingertips, as if she was in a dream, in which there was finally no blue whale in the deep sea, and what remained was an angel.
