Chapter 8 Plant beans and get beans, plant melons and get melons
Thinking of Xing's resolute words, watching Xing's figure gradually disappearing, Li was infinitely sad and sad. A classmate, friend, and confidante who has been the best since childhood, has been completely lost since then! He wept silently in his heart.
He can't complain about Xing's ruthlessness, because Xing has always respected him, and he loves him deeply, not long ago, on his birthday, she also gave him a big greeting card in person, wrote such an affectionate blessing text, and confided in her heart full of true feelings and hopes. Today's result is entirely the result of one's own wrongdoing. Because she was confused and impulsive, that kind of thing happened to Peach, which caused Peach's pregnancy, and also seriously hurt Apricot's feelings, making her think that he finally chose Peach, and took the initiative to abandon her; Now Xing ignores him and scolds him, which is all right; If you do that kind of shameful thing yourself, you deserve the punishment you deserve.
He also felt that his relationship with Xing could not end there, because Xing still had feelings for him, even if he hurt her so much, she was still willing to treat him as a friend, still cared about his body, his studies, his ideals and future, and told him, "This is the most important thing." Resentment on one side, concern on the other, unswerving. After all, their friendship has been formed since childhood and is deeply rooted. For more than ten years, we have been studying, working, playing, helping each other, and being like brothers and sisters, how can this relationship be completely severed? Thinking of this, he was moved to tears again. Apricots! It was I who lived up to your high expectations and did what I was sorry for. In the future, I will pay ten times or a hundred times to care for you, love you, help you, and make up for the harm and debt to you. "Taoli Xingchun Wind Family" and "Taoli Xingxing Trinity" are our common wishes, which cannot be violated: who taught the three of us to be born in the spring breeze in the same year? Who taught us to be inseparable for more than ten years, sharing honor and disgrace? This must also be the will of God, and the elders of the whole village said so. Lee searched for dry intestines to find many reasons why the relationship between the three of them was inseparable.
One day, after evening school, the fiery sun was about to go down, the treetops moved slightly, and there was some cool breeze in the air. After a day of intense study, the students walked out of the stuffy classroom and walked on the campus and playground, laughing happily at will. Li felt that he should take this time to talk to Xing and review his mistakes again, fully explaining that his feelings for her had not changed at all. But he searched the campus and playground but couldn't find her, and finally found her in the classroom, and it turned out that Xing was still studying in the classroom alone. He was very moved, and hurriedly walked over and said: "Xing, the weather is so hot, after a day of study, the students are all walking on campus and on the playground, you should also go out to relax and relax, and have a good rest." Let's go, I'll go out with you. He said as he stepped forward to help her pack up her books and homework. I didn't want Xing to be very angry, so I snatched it and put it back in its place, still bowing her head to write her homework, and didn't look at him. He felt embarrassed and sad, and suddenly his face flushed, his hands hung down, his mouth was open, and he didn't know what to say.
Li hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "I know that I have done something wrong and seriously hurt you, and I am also very sad and blamed myself." Now, I sincerely regret it, I really want to change it, I want to make it up to you, please give me a chance to make amends. Xing still kept her head down and did her homework, not looking at him or speaking. Li waited for a while and then muttered: "Xing, I came to you to say what I had in my heart again, and I made it clear, you didn't misunderstand, no matter what you do to me, I have no regrets." Seeing that Xing didn't react, he said: "'Taoli Xingchun Feng family, Taoli Xing Trinity' is the common oath of the three of us since childhood, a common agreement, and a common wish." It cannot be violated at any time, this is the will of God, and it is unlucky to violate it. Our life experience over the years has proved that together, everyone is happy; When separated, all three of them will be sad and sad. I hope that the three of us have grown up together since childhood, good classmates, good friends, still care for each other, love each other, help each other, work hard together, make progress and improve together, and realize our common beautiful ideals together; In any case, you can't stop halfway. Apricot, good sister, let's abandon the old suspicions, forget the pain, trust each other, and rebuild the old good, do you think it's okay? ”
Xing saw that Li was entangled, so that she could not study with peace of mind, and she was already upset. I thought, what else is the Trinity talking about? When you hugged each other at the Warm Hostel, did you think about the Trinity? Ever thought about how I felt? It is you, you, not me, who are destroying the Trinity; The present situation is of your own making, and you have no resentment against me. But she knows that Lee's personality is as gentle and lingering as a trickle, and it will not change no matter how many hardships and twists and turns she goes through. She is deeply afraid that she will not be able to hold on to her established beliefs, and will be moved by his true feelings, lose her mind, and throw herself back into his arms, and the consequences will be unimaginable! She was silent, and quickly wrote a paragraph on a piece of paper and threw it to him, clearly stating her attitude towards him.
Li didn't see Xingxing answering, but saw her writing hard, and the next paragraph of writing was impressively placed in front of him. He suddenly felt like he had been slapped hard, and his heart was extremely sad and embarrassed, even more sad and embarrassed than just now. The good feelings of the past are gone, how can it be possible to abandon the past and reconcile as before? Seeing Xing, who had always been gentle and considerate to him, so determined, he couldn't believe that this could be true. My mind is churning with all kinds of intimate and friendly scenes with Apricot in the past. At that time, he and Xing were so good friends, they wanted to meet without seeing each other for a while, they had nothing to say when they met, and they did everything possible to find something to say if they didn't have anything to say. Now he has something to say in his heart, and he refuses to say anything when he meets, and he is in a hurry, and he writes with a pen like a dumb person. What's the point of a friend being on this? Poor, pathetic!
He shook his head, helplessly picked up the words on the paper and looked at it, only to see Xing write:
"Li: Your words have been made very clear, I fully understand what you mean, your feelings, there is no need to say more. Who to love, who not to love, who to choose, who to abandon, that is your desire and power, and it has nothing to do with me, so I have no right to interfere and make irresponsible remarks. You don't feel sorry for me, and you don't owe me, so you don't need to apologize, and you don't need to make up for anything. What you owe and what you are sorry for is yourself; If you want to make up for it, just seize the time to review your homework and meet the college entrance examination, and don't talk about it repeatedly with me, which will delay both your time and mine. The college entrance examination is coming, there is not much time to delay, every minute and second is very precious and should be cherished. Time is running out, don't waste it again.
"There is no feast that will not be dissolved, and it will end when it is time to end. You're already with Peach, that's a fact. Do you hug each other and ask me to cry while you watch? Can you bear it? Or are you with me and let Peach scold me on the sidelines? Would you like to? I think that's what none of the three of us want to see. Taoli Xing is no longer a family, one, you don't want to admit it, it is impossible to try to pinch the three of them together again.
"Today, I've talked about this, you should understand it thoroughly, right? Thinking of the old love, I still admit in my heart that you are a friend. I hope you cherish this feeling. If you keep pestering you, honestly, I don't think of you as a friend in my heart. Please think carefully, manage your behavior, and don't do anything unwise and hurt both parties. ”
After reading the words written to him by Xing, Li completely understood, woke up, and died. With tears in his eyes, he said to Xing, "I'm sorry to disturb your study," and turned to leave her and leave the classroom. There were tears in his eyes and blood in his heart. He couldn't have imagined that his inseparable companions, more than ten years of friendship and love, would cause such irreparable consequences because of his momentary mistakes. He was in great pain, very sad, and had no intention of returning to the campus, on the playground, and those classmates who had finished a day of intense study, at this time a relaxed and happy classmate talked and walked, and walked silently into the secluded woods behind the school, where he watched the sunset gradually setting, and was sad, wept, and sighed alone.
At night, Li recalled the text that Xing wrote to him with tears in his eyes, and the more he thought about it, the more sad he became. He finally figured it out, because he was confused for a while and did that kind of thing with Peach, the relationship between him and Apricot had undergone a qualitative change, "Peach, Plum, Apricot and Spring Breeze Family, Peach, Plum and Apricot Trinity" had been broken by his own hands, and it has since disintegrated, and it is difficult to repair! Taoli Xing can no longer be like a family, not distinguishing from each other; Peach, plum and apricot can no longer be a whole. Both glory and destruction. Xing's words and deeds have already shown that she wants to leave him and Tao alone, and since then they have parted ways and become the only one. In the days to come, he will only be with Momo. Xing hated Peach, hated him even more, and it was impossible to be with them again. Since childhood, the close, united and harmonious family has become two families, and a whole is divided into two parts, which has become an objective fact. No matter how he apologizes to Xing, it shows that his feelings for her have not changed in the slightest as always, and Xing will not believe him and forgive him. This made him heartbroken and difficult to accept, but he had to accept it. This is all because he was confused and did that kind of thing, which made Apricot think that he finally chose to be with Momo and abandoned her, thus completely hurting Apricot's feelings and destroying the long-term friendship between them. He couldn't have imagined that that kind of thing was not just a casual game, it could be so powerful, so ruthless, and so lethal. If he had known about this beforehand, he wouldn't have done that kind of thing if he had been killed. Isn't it just for a minute, no matter how happy it is, it can't compare to more than ten years of friendship and love. He hated himself and felt even more sorry for the apricot. He had to find ways to make up for it, like his mother sewing up tattered clothes, and his father sewing up the nets torn by wild beasts, hoping that the damage would be repaired, and he would use it as always; At this time, he knew that this net was not his net, it would hold grudges and be jealous, and no matter how carefully and painstaking he tried to make up for it, it would be difficult to repair it. This is a hundred times more difficult than him dealing with Momo's pregnancy reaction problem! Xing's words have been made very clear and clear, she and him can only be ordinary friends in the future, and they can only be kept in their hearts. What is this called a friend? Friends in memory? A friend in your sight? When I think about it, I think about it, I can't see people, and I can't feel her body temperature and heartbeat. is like Chang'e in the indifferent Moon Palace, out of reach; Like a Han girl in the Kyaukyao River, she can only look at each other across the vast Milky Way and imagine alone? Alas! It seems that this is the only way to go. In short, in the future, it is impossible for him and Xing to be as close as before, he can only listen to Xing's very familiar Yingjiao voice from a distance, and it is difficult to talk to her at close range; can only look at her very familiar graceful figure from a distance, and it is difficult to walk hand in hand with her and do things together. In the past ten years, no matter how many close, affectionate, and dear past events have been, they can only be like those expired photos in the album, when you think about it, take it out and look at it, and then cherish it in your memory.
He thought about it alone, sighed once, shed tears, and fell asleep. After waking up, his mind changed again, because he remembered again what Apricot had said to him to concentrate on his studies and care for Momo, and he still believed that Apricot was kind, friendly, and lovely, and did not believe that Apricot would break with him and would never ignore him. He felt that Apricot was like this now, knowing that he and Momo had done that, and she was sad, disappointed, jealous, and angry, and lost her mind for a moment, forgetting all the vows and promises of the past, the beauty and friendship. Perhaps after this time, the anger will disappear, and her reason and feelings will be restored, and she will think of their past love and friendship again, and blame and suffer in her heart; When she couldn't bear it anymore, she would think of him again, of so much sincere help and sincere friendship he had for her. True love is not silent forever.
At this time, he suddenly remembered two famous sayings in his heart: one is the most elegant, "If you want to hurry, you can't reach it"; One sentence is the most vulgar, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry". He felt that the love for apricots should be put aside for a while, and it should be treated coldly, so as to cure diseases with Xu and overcome rigidity with softness. Many things in the world are not successful by striking while the iron is hot, not to mention that Xing is now righteous and cold to him. However, it is the law of nature that winter is past spring.
Press the gourd to float the scoop. His amorous heart could not lose love for a moment, and he could not lose sympathy, love and help for his companions. Then he thought of Peach, who was trapped in the family and was still suffering from the pain of pregnancy reaction, and Peach's difficult family that had lost its father, and there was still a lot of work to be done in the mountains, fields, and forests, otherwise, this family would not be able to live this year. So he decided to go home and see the peaches. He has lost his apricots, and he must not lose his peaches again, otherwise, he will really become a loner, and he will not even have a person to talk to. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he couldn't wait to return to the spring breeze to see the peaches immediately.
Li went to see Peach this time and was pleasantly surprised to find that Peach's pregnancy reaction had been reduced a lot, although there was occasional vomiting, but the frequency had been greatly reduced, and the amount of food had also increased, and he was no longer picky eater. He was very happy and rekindled hope in his heart, so he immediately persuaded Tao to return to school and resume classes: "Tao, great! Hurry up and pack your bags and come back to school with me tomorrow. Momo nodded happily in agreement.
Momo's mother disagreed, saying, "Let her eat two more days." I knew that when she returned to school, she would have to study hard and make up for her homework, and I was afraid that she would not be able to bear it. When my body is hard and I go back to school, I won't worry about how to study. ”
Tao these days, thanks to her mother's thoughtfulness and care, since her mother said it, he can't object, not to mention that what she said is not unreasonable, he can't refuse a mother's affection and love for her daughter, so he has to listen to her and let Tao stay at home for a few more days. In order to relieve Tao's worries about returning to school to study, on this day, he and Tao's mother went up the mountain and down to the field together, and completed all the work of her family.
Peach returned to school after the pregnancy reaction, and the college entrance examination is approaching. Time was pressing, so she had to work with Li day and night to catch up on her homework, hating that she had to eat, not sleep, and use one day as two days; Unfortunately, there are too many missed classes and too short a time to make up for it completely. Tao was so anxious that she wanted to cry and get angry, but she didn't dare to vent or tell the truth, so she had to endure it in her heart and feel the pain in her heart. Li had to keep comforting her: "Don't worry, the more anxious you are, the more you can't settle down to study, and the worse the effect will be." ”
"Not in a hurry? It's all burning eyebrows! Have you calculated, the college entrance examination is less than two weeks away! Momo couldn't help but lose her temper.
"What's the use of you getting angry? A day and a night can only be twenty-four hours, and it cannot become forty-eight hours. We just make the most of it, and no one is lazy. ”
"It's all your fault!" Tao couldn't help but complain about Lee.
"You are sick and have delayed your study time, how can you blame me? I also missed a lot of study time because I kept coming home to see you and helping your family with their work. Li also has a stomach full of grievances, and it is inconvenient to say it clearly.
"Don't complain to me. That's what you wanted, and I didn't invite you to go, so I can't complain about me. Peach didn't appreciate it.
Time is urgent, and the two of them can't keep up with their academic performance, and they are in a hurry, so they can't help but complain about each other. Their words are vague and vague, and other students also understand and some don't understand, anyway, at this time, everyone is nervous about studying, and the whole mind is on the college entrance examination, and no one pays attention to these things, to analyze its meaning, and investigate the story behind it.
According to the usual practice, the July, August and September days of July every year are the national unified college entrance examination time. When the time comes, the same time and the same test paper will be held all over the country. It doesn't matter who reviews well or who doesn't, they treat everyone equally, selflessly, and without favoritism. At the end of the college entrance examination, the Ministry of Education will organize teachers to mark and record scores in a timely manner, and then all colleges and universities will admit candidates according to their scores and wishes, and send notices.
In this college entrance examination, Tao and Li did not review their homework well because they delayed their study too much time, and their exam results were not good; Especially Peach, he only scored more than 300 points in seven homework, so he didn't get any of them. Only Xing had ideals in his heart, gambled again, studied hard and earnestly, grasped the time tightly, and finally got his wish and was admitted to the engineering college of this province according to his personal wishes.
Apricot has been admitted to university! When the news came, the spring breeze boiled. The villagers came to congratulate Xing and his parents, and they were full of joy for a while. Xing and his family warmly welcomed and entertained relatives and friends for several days. Xing's parents felt that their daughter's admission to university would add joy to their family and glory to their ancestors, and they also specially invited the film projection team in the township to play a movie on the flat ground in front of their house to entertain the villagers in their village and nearby villages. The projectionist was also very happy to see that it was the parents who showed the movie for their daughter's admission to university, and specially chose a comedy "Xiyingmen". The villagers watched the movie and said that the Xing family was also "Xiyingmen", and they discussed the plot and characters of the movie "Xiyingmen" together for several days in combination with the joy of Xing's college admission family.
The news of Xing's admission to the university and the celebration of the family movie soon reached the ears of the township leaders, and the secretary and the township chief were very happy to hear it, and praised it: "Our poor ravine has also flown out of the golden phoenix!" It is really a great event, and it should be greatly commended and rewarded! In this way, we can also encourage the children of other families to study hard, so that we can have more talents in Daliang Mountain District, learn skills, and come back in the future to build their hometowns, develop mountainous areas, and accelerate poverty alleviation and prosperity. Therefore, they jointly studied and decided: In order to encourage aspiring students to study diligently and make progress, in the future, all students from their hometown who are admitted to universities will be given a congratulatory plaque by beating gongs and drums, and a bonus of 1,000 yuan.
In the countryside, especially in the mountainous areas, the secretary and the head of the township are the emperors, and their words are absolutely counting. The next day, the township education assistant brought a congratulatory plaque and a bonus, and more than a dozen teachers and students, beat gongs and drums, and personally sent them to the door of Xing's house in the spring breeze. Xing's parents were smiling and hurriedly came out to greet them, and also took out cigarettes, candy, and various snacks to entertain the happy people. The old couple held the congratulatory plaque and the bonus, and they were so excited that they burst into tears, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, leader!" It's all because of the party's policy of enriching the people, and today my daughter can be admitted to university. Thanks to the Communist Party! Thanks for the reform and opening up! Thanks to the good cadres of the party! Our family will always remember it in our hearts and be grateful for a lifetime. The villagers heard the sound of gongs and drums, and rushed to the door of the apricot house to watch, and everyone discussed: "The three children of Taoli and Xing are the most promising!" ”
For a few days, people came and went in front of Xing's house, congratulations, praises, laughter, one after another, Xing's family became the center of the whole village, and Xing's admission to university became the central topic of discussion in the whole village. "Taoli Xingchun Feng family", seeing Xing admitted to university, such a celebration, people will naturally think and ask about the situation of Tao and Li, and when they heard that they both fell off the list, they couldn't help but talk about it. So in the past few days, the peach and plum families are rarely patronized, and they are simply crowded.
The two families heard that Xing was admitted to the university, many relatives and friends came to congratulate, her family played a movie to entertain the villagers, and the township leaders beat gongs and drums to send congratulatory plaques and bonuses, which was very glorious. Look at their own children, who have also studied for so many years, spent so many years of money, and finally failed to get into any school, and returned to work in the ravine in a gloomy manner, feeling even more gloomy, and closed their doors for several days, ashamed to see their relatives and friends.
Li originally wanted to congratulate Xing in person, but looking at his parents' dissatisfaction and indifference to him, thinking about Xing's previous separation and warning, he was afraid that he would not welcome Xing when he went, but would embarrass himself; But I don't feel sorry for Xing: many people in the village went to congratulate, but my best friend didn't go, didn't Xing say that I hated her? A person goes in and out of the house, sighing, tossing and turning, and there is no agreement. When my father saw it, he scolded, "What are you busy with?" There's no shame in that! Look at others, think about yourself, can you compare with apricots? "I was distressed and sad in my heart, irritable, and my parents did not have a good face; Go, don't dare, sit at home, and don't feel at ease. I didn't go anywhere, I didn't do anything, I hid in the house, and I slept in my bed. But where can I sleep? After thinking about it again and again, I finally got up and wrote a note to congratulate Xing: "Xing, dear friends and classmates: I am glad to hear that you have been admitted to the Provincial Institute of Engineering with excellent results, and I am happy to express my warm congratulations and sincere greetings to you. I wish you continued efforts and continued success. A bright future awaits you, glory belongs to you! After the letter was written, I called my younger brother Song, secretly confessed a few words, and asked him to secretly give it to Xing. Xing read Li's letter and understood the reason why he didn't come, and immediately wrote a note asking his brother to bring it back: "Li, thank you!" I hope not to forget the original intention, do not forget the ambition, continue to work hard, realize the ideal, just around the corner! Li read Xing's reply and felt a little relieved.
Tao heard that Xing was admitted to university, and the family had a treat and a movie, which was extremely lively. I didn't get into the university, and Li affected my studies, and I didn't get it, so I felt sad and sorry for Li, and I couldn't help but be depressed; Coupled with physical discomfort, I didn't want to see people in the first place, but now I don't want to go out to meet people. She hid at home every day, sitting or sleeping, not wanting to say anything, not wanting to do any work. Seeing her daughter in such pain, Tao's mother had no choice but to let it go, not to complain about her anymore, and urge her to work. Only when Li came, talked to each other, comforted and comforted each other, could Tao feel better and calmer.
