Chapter 18 The Past Years

After the manuscript was handed over, I was finally able to relax my nervous and guilty nerves.

Make a cup of vegetarian tea, order a "wide and narrow", then sit down peacefully in the chair, and then reply to the editor just now, "You want to be the son-in-law of the editor-in-chief, right?" It's a pity that the editor-in-chief doesn't accept your wife as a goddaughter. ”

Speaking of goddaughters, I can't help but think of when Sijie and Erya got married, we talked seriously about letting their children recognize me as godfathers in the future.

It's just that Sijie and Erya have been married for three years and have no children, so naturally I didn't become a godfather.

Thinking of Sijie and Erya, the originally relaxed mood immediately returned to Erya's abnormal reaction yesterday.

Looking back, I must admit that Erya deliberately tried hard when she hugged me in the cemetery. Touching up makeup in the car is also considered for me, including the strong kiss later, I am afraid it was also premeditated in advance.

I don't dare to go on and wonder if I had responded with the trend, or if I hadn't restrained myself, would we have progressed to rolling the sheets.

Speaking of rolling the sheets, I have a joke in mind for you.

Said: Someone was in the class for 30 years at the class reunion, found that the goddess who had been in love for many years was actually in love with himself for many years, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. The goddess replied: "Get out! ”

Q: What does the word "roll" mean?

Hahahaha......

The joke is over, come back to me, because rolling the sheets, I'll soon be a joke.

I quickly slapped myself in the face and didn't allow myself to think about it anymore.

In any case, I can't explain Erya's series of actions yesterday, those actions that have been planned for a long time. Yesterday was the 49-day sacrifice day when Sijie left, and he even hugged my neck hard in front of Sijie's tomb.

Lost your mind because of sadness?

When you are in the cemetery, you can explain that you should be emotionally recovered a lot all the way back.

Test me?

If you want to help the four precepts of the spirit in the heavens test me, will I take his daughter-in-law and children for myself before his bones are cold?

- This is also a little too far-fetched. What's more, what is the significance of such a test for a dead man?

Or, driven by love?

It's been more than ten years, what love is there? What's more, no matter how much you love, it shouldn't be when the bones of the four precepts are not cold.

- I have to admit that in the end this analysis there is an element of my narcissistic delusion. In the more than 20 years I have known Erya, I believe that she has a special affection for me, but this affection should have come to an abrupt end in the summer when she and Sijie got married.

I looked at my phone, and after replying to Erya's WeChat last night, Erya has not sent any new messages. I don't know when Erya will wake up, and if she is in a better mood.

I couldn't help but continue to analyze the reason why Er Ya drank alone at noon yesterday.

Sad because of the departure of the four precepts?

Sad because of my rejection?

Or both?

There is no answer. The only thing that is certain is that yesterday's Erya was in a very complicated mood.

Perhaps, I should go to see Erya, or make an appointment to have a meal with me, enlightening and enlightening.

……

After the school was closed, I got together more often with Sijie, Erya, and Huahua. It is said that the school is closed, but in fact, it is not allowed to go home, and it is not an absolute ban on campus.

Weekends still exist, but the teacher will suggest that we can study on our own and read books.

It's just that we rarely listen to the advice of our teachers.

I started not to go home and felt very novel, very happy, after a long time, I can't talk about how much I miss my family, I just feel very suffocated, that kind of helpless suffocation. The four of us will meet to go for a walk by the river. Blowing the river wind, pick up a few thin stone chips, and compare whose water drifts farther.

The homeroom teacher, who had always only valued learning, suddenly did something that surprised us all. I don't remember the exact time, but I can be sure that it was a midweek afternoon, and the sun was shining so well that I could hear birds chirping outside the classroom.

The homeroom teacher closed the Chinese textbook and said to us, "There is no class this afternoon, so I will take you out for a hike." ”

Everyone suddenly came to their senses, and they seemed to be a little unconvinced. A good student asked, "Teacher, do you need to write a travelogue when you come back?" ”

The homeroom teacher suddenly laughed, "If you don't remind me, I forgot about this stubble." ”

Then, there was a "sigh" sound in the classroom, which was uniform.

"If you don't write a travelogue this time, you should make up for your physical education class, and don't complain about me occupying your physical education class in the future." The homeroom teacher was righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he had given up a lot.

Screams and cheers rang out in the classroom, and the homeroom teacher signaled us to be quiet while the other classes were still in session.

We went out of the school under the guidance of our homeroom teacher.

Five kilometres from the school there is a relatively large river beach with large and small pebbles. That's where we hiked.

The squad leader leads at the front of the line, and the homeroom teacher presses the formation at the end of the team.

Sijie and I walked in the line, and the mood was as beautiful as the weather.

Five kilometres is not a hike at all, at most it is a warm-up exercise. At that time, our physical fitness was countless times better than that of us who had been in the office for a long time over the years.

Shared bicycles are used to solve the last kilometer, who would have thought that we would need to walk dozens of kilometers to school at that time, and it was all mountain roads.

The times are developing, science and technology are advancing, human beings are becoming lazy, and we are degrading.

After arriving at the river beach, the teacher let everyone move freely for a while, but they were not allowed to go near the river.

Sijie picked up the pebbles on the ground and asked me, "Ermao, do you know what these stones can do?" ”

I grew up near the river, which was either sand or stones, and for as long as I can remember, those stones were there, and I really didn't know what the stones were for.

I shook my head, "Don't you tell me there's a mine in this stone?" ”

Although chemistry classes are only offered in the third year of junior high school, I have seen on TV that there are mines in the rocks.

Sijie shook his head, "There are no mines in these stones, this is ordinary stone, but it can be used to make concrete and build a house." ”

I immediately pointed out the common-sense error of the four precepts. "The stone is too big, and the stone for concrete is smaller."

"There's a machine called a stone crusher." The four rings gave me a blank look.

But the stone is very hard...... "I grew up herding cattle by the river, but I never broke a pebble.

In the midst of my argument with Sijie about stones, I suddenly heard a girl screaming. Then a group of people surrounded us, and Sijie and I also hurried over.

It's Erya!

On the uneven river beach, Er Ya stepped on an unstable stone and stumbled.

The homeroom teacher also arrived, and after checking the situation, made the decision to return en masse immediately. Send Erya to the infirmary for treatment as soon as possible.

On the return trip, Erya can't walk, and needs classmates to carry it.

"Come on a few boys, change your back to Li Yan!" The homeroom teacher said.

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, Sijie squatted down.

"Erya, I'll carry you!"

Sijie carried Erya on his back and walked at the front of the team, walking in a hurry. I followed the four precepts, saw that the four precepts were sweating profusely, and said that I would change them with the four precepts. Sijie only shook his head and did not speak.

The other students wanted to change with the four precepts, and the four precepts just said no.

Er Ya also persuaded the four precepts.

Sijie was like crazy, carrying Erya on his back, five kilometers, directly to the school infirmary.
