Chapter 11 The Fish and the Bear's Paw can also have both

Once upon a time, there was a very happy little girl who lived every day carefree. When she was in elementary school, her father would always put some pocket money in her pocket and let her buy whatever she wanted. Although her family is not very wealthy, she is very happy.

When she was a child, she was very greedy, and naturally she was very fat, every time she saw the kebabs and fruit rock sugar gourds on the stall, she was hungry, and the fragrant meat skewers were grilled to oil, making a "zizi" sound. Then, under the skillful movements of the stall owner, the red color gradually faded and was roasted to a brown with a slight burnt smell. Finally, she sprinkled something very beautiful on it, and she miraculously found that after sprinkling that kind of thing, she couldn't even smell the burnt smell. When she grew up, she learned that that very beautiful thing was called "cumin." "It's a spice.

At that time, her pocket money did not allow her to taste both things at the same time, so she was very entangled, and every time she watched the vendor selling sugar gourds walk by, she still couldn't make up her mind, and the two pigtails were gone.

Just like at the beginning, she would stand in front of the stall tangled, looking at the barbecue with a bitter face, looking at the sugar gourd, and not knowing which one to buy first. At that time, she could still wear a beautiful little floral dress, and the stall owner at that time would also be very kind and say, "Little sister, what flavor do you want to eat, the sugar gourd is sweet and sour, but it is delicious." After that, even if she looked at her with a blank eye, he wouldn't ask her again.

In a math class, the teacher said that if you want to have two things at the same time, but you can't have them all at the same time, then you should choose one or the other until you get bored.

At that time, she didn't know the meaning of this sentence, and she didn't know why the math teacher was even more incomprehensible than the Chinese teacher. But she heard the answer she wanted and ate until she didn't like it. After school in the afternoon, she ran to the kebab stall, pointed to the meat skewer sprinkled with beautiful things, and asked for five skewers. This is the money she has unintentionally saved in the past few days, but it is only enough to buy five strings. In the sun, she ate with a mouthful of oil.

Later, she kept eating for a long time, and became a little fat person, and forgot that the sugar gourd was also what she wanted.

So, she didn't understand the meaning of an adult's words.

It wasn't until she was in junior high school that an article about fish and bear's paws reminded her of this memory.

Fish, I want too; The bear's paw is also what I want, and I can't have both, and the one who gives up the fish and takes the bear's paw.

Barbecue is what she wants, and sugar gourd is also what she wants, since she doesn't have to have both, then why doesn't she eat barbecue at one, three, five, two, four, six, and the rest of the day to wear a beautiful dress?

She is not so prescriptive, this is not a single choice question, there is no right or wrong, only the priority, she also wants barbecue and sugar gourd. It's just that she is too young, and she didn't realize that she hadn't tasted sugar gourd for so long, and she had made herself so fat, and even more so after she couldn't wear a beautiful little dress, she felt that she was really stupid.

And then, what happened later?

……

In fact, there is a building on both sides of the main teaching building of the school, because the main body is connected, so you can see the roof from the corridor and go up the stairs, but it is usually locked, and students are not allowed to come up. From here, you can see the whole school, for example, there are two straight roads from the entrance to the school building, with the dormitory building on the left and a low hill on the right, and the trees on it are planted by each class themselves.

"How do you have the key here?"

It was dusk again, and the darkness had not yet fully invaded, so the sun in the distance was still shining. On the rooftop, Chen Pan was competing with the sugar gourd, holding a string in each hand, with a bulging mouth.

"I borrowed it from Zhou Bian." Jiang Che put his hands on the guardrail, and he also held two strings of sugar gourds in his hands, one of which had not even been unpacked. Chen Pan said that he understood, Zhou Bian is the health committee member in the class, and he is also Jiang Che's good buddy, so it is naturally easy to borrow the key.

"I didn't expect that a person like him would pretend to be public and private!" Chen Pan looked at Jiang Che with a smile, for Zhou Bian, what she understood was that he was a brainless person, who did not change his work, and she didn't let him be a member of the disciplinary committee, otherwise she would have to offend the whole class.

"Eat less, that hawthorn is sour to death, eat too much and be careful of stomach trouble." Jiang Che reminded that he didn't understand what was delicious about this, and he couldn't stand it if he ate one.

"Hey, isn't there sugar! It's sweet and sour that tastes good. ”

"Look, sunset. How beautiful! Chen Pan patted Jiang Che excitedly. Jiang Che turned his head, and the sunset at this time was like a big fireball that burned out, and the reddish light penetrated with heavy black lines, dispelling the twilight that was spreading everywhere.

In fact, this is not a sunset, because only when you watch the sunset at a high altitude up close is a sunset, just like a sunrise.

It's just that Chen Pan is very satisfied at this moment, so there are more words.

"Thank you for the sugar gourd, it's very sweet, I like it very much."

"Really? How do I feel very sour. And don't get your hand full of candy on my clothes, it's dirty. Jiang Che muttered, turned his head, his mouth that had not yet closed was pursed into a line, and in the afterglow of the sunset, the girl next to him had tears in the corners of her eyes, obviously with a smile, but that kind of sadness was permeating everywhere.

The wind was cold in the twilight, the light gradually dimmed, and the boys and girls on the rooftop blurred their vision in each other's eyes.

Later, what happened later?

That day, she ran all the way home from school, just because her father told her in the morning that he would bring her sugar gourds, and that day, her mother also said to her father not to get used to her, eating sweet is not good for her teeth. It was also that day that she heard her mother's heart-rending cry and the dazzling red sugar gourd.

For a long time, she couldn't let go of that summer, because she lost her father, who loved her the most, and was hit by a car just to keep the sugar gourd from melting and wanted to get home quickly.

Jiang Che can actually understand this kind of sad emotion, since he was a child, he has spent several years alone in a strange school, and whether he is homesick or misses his mother, or fights with others and is bullied, he just faces it calmly, only on the first day he left home, he secretly cried at night, and after that, there was no more.

But he is not good at comforting people, so at the moment he can only be silent. And it is this kind of silence that will make people feel that he is ruthless. Maybe after a few years, he will change after going around and around, or maybe someone will understand his bad words and change for him.

Luo Yuqing met Jiang Che when she turned around and went back to the classroom. She originally meant to apologize for the incident at noon, but now when it comes to her mouth, it has become "Why don't you wait for me in the afternoon." ”

It seems that over the years of knowing him, it is rare to see him playing with other girls, let alone such a romantic thing as eating sugar gourds together now!

"Talk, I'm back in the classroom." Chen Pan subconsciously put the few remaining sugar gourds that he had eaten in his hand behind him.

"Oh, I messaged you and said you won't have to wait for me in the afternoon. Don't you see? Jiang Che was a little surprised, he didn't expect Luo Yuqing to come to the classroom to look for him, and he was looking for her many times.

"That's right, give it." Jiang Che handed over the unopened sugar gourd in his hand, and said at the same time, "Is there anything to find me?" ”

"It's fine. I'll go back to the classroom first. Luo Yuqing watched Chen Pan's movements, but still took what he gave her from him as before. Without waiting for Jiang Che to speak, he disappeared at the entrance of the building.

As soon as he returned to his seat, Zhou Bian ran in from the door of the classroom, poked his head out and glanced a few times, and was obviously relieved to see Jiang Che. Then, Shi Shiran walked up to Jiang Che and stretched out his hand with a wink.

"That's the only one?" Zhou Bian looked at the key in his hand and looked at Jiang Che with some dissatisfaction. This girl, I betrayed my clean and self-righteous character, and I risked the world to lend you the key for you to pick up girls, and in the end, there is nothing to say?

"Oh, that's all there is to it." Jiang Che handed the sugar gourd to Zhou Bian.

"One? Oh yes, you've eaten the leftovers. Zhou Bian gritted his teeth and grabbed Jiang Che's collar.

It was indeed Jiang Che who ate the rest, and only the last one of the five remained. The string originally given to Luo Yuqing was reserved for Zhou Bian.

"Don't look at me, it's what I left, I can't give it to you." Chen Pan on the side looked at Zhou Bian looking at him, and hurriedly sealed it and put it in the table box, Jiang Che held back a smile.

"Ya, colluding, a raccoon dog, a nest of snakes and rats." It seemed that he couldn't get angry, Zhou Bian looked depressed, "I just saw someone throw the whole string into the trash, I thought I wouldn't be worse than this!" The result? One? Or the rest. ”

Jiang Che lost his smile, "Don't?" Then throw it away. Chen Pan lowered his head, and before he could pull out his hand from the desk, he subconsciously pinched the sugar gourd. At this time, many classmates have already looked at them, and at this age, boys and girls think they like it when they get closer. What's more, they still eat sugar gourds, and they are still a pair of blatant jokes.

"There is no such thing as going home empty-handed." Zhou Bian looked at Jiang Che hatefully and swallowed it directly.
