At noon on Sunday, after dinner, Jiang Yang and his family went out after saying hello. "Hi, Chen Yue." He walked into the gate of Chen Yue's house and shouted to Chen Yue, who was sitting on the stone steps and eating.

"Wait until I'm done." Chen Yue said and took a big gulp. Before I finished eating, I put down my chopsticks and ran to the kitchen to throw the dishes and chopsticks into the sink. "Mom and Dad, I'll go out to play." Chen Yue entered the house to say hello, and ran out lively, "Let's go, Jiang Yang." ”

They walked out the door together, and Jiang Yang's sister was standing outside waiting for them. "Please, take me one, okay?" My sister pleaded.

"Done with homework?" When my brother asked.

"Hmm."

"Okay, let's go."

The three of them happily came to the garden. In a dry open space, Jiang Yang took out a piece of chalk from his pocket, squatted down, and drew on the ground. The three children played the game of "hopscotch" and had a great time.

"Brother, I don't want to play with you. Chen Yue, you see, 245 is all A, how can I jump. My sister complained with a sandbag.

"Haha." Jiang Yang laughed heartily, "Am I very powerful Xiao Ai?" He pointed to a chalk square on the ground and said, "Next is three." ”

"Hmph, I'm not playing with you anymore." As she spoke, the younger sister bent down to pick up the chalk on the ground and redrew the lattice room in the open space on the side. "Chen Yue, let's play, don't take him." She took Chen Yue's hand and said.

"No, my dear sister." Jiang Yang said aggrievedly, "Don't be like this, take me one, I haven't had enough of it." ”

"Jiang Yang, let's be honest, playing with you, I'm also very tired, how can I stand up after jumping so far." Chen Yue smiled bitterly beside her, shrugged her shoulders and made a statement.

"That's it! You let me stay over there, don't come here. The younger sister put her hands on Jiang Yang's chest and pushed him under a tree.

Jiang Yang scratched his head and suddenly came up with a good solution. "Otherwise, you two will join the family and beat me, so it's always okay." He pleaded, hoping that his sister would allow him to join.

The passage of time is not felt at all. They got tired of playing and fell to the ground to rest.

"You're dirty." The younger sister said as she stood in front of two pairs of shoes, turning her face down. Jiang Yang and Chen Yue smiled face-to-face, "Haha." "Huh? What's so funny. The younger sister couldn't understand, shook her head at them, and walked to a small pavilion not far away to rest.

They were indeed sitting on the ground, and they didn't feel awkward at all, but more relaxed and comfortable. Jiang Yang looked up at the pedestrians coming and going on the left and right of the highway, and then looked at the sky, indulging in the white clouds. At this time, Chen Yue said the words that had been held back for a long time, "Jiangyang, you still like Gu Ling, right?" He asked Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang was startled and looked at Chen Yue blankly. "What, what did you just say?"

"Shh Jiang Yang immediately hugged Chen Yue and covered his mouth. "Be quiet, be quiet." He sneaked a glance in his sister's direction, then whispered, "What do you want to say?" You can say it now. Liu Yue repeated. Ah, that's for sure. Also, this is my secret, don't just tell anyone else. Jiang Yang reminded.

Chen Yue lowered her voice and said in Jiang Yang's ear, "On Friday, Gu Ling was angry. ”

"Angry with me?"

"Hmm."

Jiang Yang pondered for a moment. "Oooooooooo Jiang Yang suddenly stood up with a sense of realization, "You left with her first that day?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Oh, how did I forget." He sighed and sat back down.

Chen Yue picked up smartly: "It's okay, I'll help you intercede on Monday." But you'll have to pay attention to it later. This sentence is both a comfort and a reminder. Jiang Yangli nodded.

"Attention, what else can my brother fear him?" The sister's question suddenly reached the ears of the two. She heard them whispering and whispered over to listen to their conversation.

"Who are you talking about her?" The younger sister rode on Jiang Yang's back and tapped him on the shoulder, "Say it quickly." ”

"Did you hear that?" Chen Yue asked. However, Jiang Yang immediately picked up his sister on his back and said, "Don't be naughty, let's go home." ”

My sister pouted, she was very interested in what they had just said, and she insisted on knowing, "Who the hell is it, tell me quickly." She coquettishly shook her body on her brother's back, and her hands kept beating his brother's back.

Still didn't answer, Jiang Yang changed the topic: "Look, it's getting dark, it's getting cold, let's go home quickly." ”

At home, my sister sat at the head of the bed, staring blankly at a piece of inscription on the table in front of the windowsill. She seemed to be angry. She has a stubborn temper, and she must figure out what she wants to understand. is firm and unwavering in his own opinions, so he often quarrels with his brother or parents, and he seems a little tough and savage.

Outside the door, Jiang Yang walked in and sat next to his sister. He turned on the TV, broadcast to his favorite show, and watched it with relish.

The younger sister was still in a daze, but she still noticed that her brother had entered the door. "Brother is a little strange today." She said.

"What's strange?" Jiang Yang looked at the TV and asked without looking back.

"There must be a problem."

"What's the problem?"

"What you secretly said to Chen Yue today, I heard you whispering secrets or something." The younger sister turned around and sat cross-legged on the bed, pulling the corner of her brother's clothes, "Brother, just tell me, what secret?" ”

Jiang Yang pretended to watch TV and didn't hear it, and was engrossed in the plot on TV. The younger sister tugged at his coat from behind, swaying from side to side. "Hurry up, tell me, tell me."

Jiang Yang was helpless, but he still watched his TV, pretending to ignore his sister's existence.

"Are you going to say it or not?" My sister asked in a loud voice.

The voice reached the living room, and the mother walked into the room and asked strangely, "Xiao Ai, what's wrong?" ”

"Brother, he bullied me." Xiao Ai looked at her mother aggrievedly.

At this time, Jiang Yang also gave up the plot of the TV and looked at his mother, "Mom, don't listen to Xiao Ai's nonsense, I didn't bully her." No, I didn't do anything. He hurriedly explained, "I took her to the garden in the afternoon." No, no, how dare I hit her. ”

"Yes, my brother is great today, take me out to play, but I chatted happily with my neighbor Chen Yue, and left me aside and left me alone." The more she spoke, the more radical she became, "Mom, I also heard my brother say a secret or something, I don't know what a secret, but it must not be a good thing." My sister's expression was very serious. Don't look at her, this nosy little goblin could be his own sister.

"Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai." Jiang Yang gently pushed his sister down and whispered in her ear, "Please, don't say it, everything will depend on you in the future, okay?" Although this is unrealistic, it at least means that he is willing to bow down. My sister didn't force it, jumped out of bed with both feet, put on her slippers and walked out. Jiang Yang sighed, walked to the TV, and turned up the volume slightly.

Morning. Chen Yue was carrying a large wooden barrel to the grapevines in the courtyard, carefully standing at the edge of the well, and putting the barrel into the well along a thick knotted rope. He stretched out his head to look down the well, shook his hands back and forth, and struggled to shake the iron that was tied to the bucket, and submerged the bucket in the water properly. He stepped on the rope, rubbed his palms in anger, grabbed the rope, and pulled the bucket up the well with a knot. Take it to the washbasin and tooth jar. He washed his face and brushed his teeth with steaming well water. After that, the waste water is poured down the drain, and the wooden bucket with the remaining water is wrung into the kitchen, and placed behind the kang table.

After doing this, he went back to his study to read the book. When he was making preparations for the door, Jiang Yang walked in from outside the gate and shouted, "Chen Yue, let's go." As soon as the voice fell, Chen Yue quickly stuffed the textbook into her schoolbag, grabbed the straps, and went straight to the courtyard.

"Hello Auntie." Jiang Yang said hello to his mother who walked out of the kitchen.

The mother smiled kindly and followed the two children, "Be careful on the road. The mother said to them until the children left the bend in the alley.

The red iron door opened, and Gu Ling walked out of it and closed the door casually. She walked onto the path leading to the street, and immediately saw her classmates, Jiang Yang and Chen Yue. She stopped and stood sideways on the shoulder. She didn't know if they had seen her. But she guessed from what she had just looked at that they didn't notice she was here. Now think of me, fool! She complained inwardly and stood there without coming out. They are still waiting. She glanced at her watch, and the number for that minute had jumped to 41. If you don't leave, you'll be late. On top of that, if she's late, they're going to be late too. Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated and lifted her steps.

Jiang Yang raised his arm and waved into the distance, smiling. He wanted to keep his mind as calm as possible, and shake off the past: it was just a normal mutual help between his classmates. He affirms that.

When he was 5 meters away, Gu Ling stopped again. She lowered her head and looked at her white sneakers.

"Good morning." Jiang Yang habitually said hello. Seeing Gu Ling stop there, he felt strange, he greeted him again, "Good morning?" "Good morning." Chen Yue also whispered hello later.

Gu Ling still stood there, didn't speak, his head still hanging down.

"Huh?" Jiang Yang bent down and tilted his neck to look at her face.

"Okay." Gu Ling said as he quickly raised his head and pushed Jiang Yang to the side and walked forward. Jiang Yang and Chen Yue quickly caught up.

"I guess you've had another unhappy weekend." Jiang Yang raised his hand and said humorously, "Isn't it, isn't it?" It must have been scolded by my parents for not washing my hands before eating, or I just broke the dishes without having to do housework, right? ”

Gu Ling couldn't control it, covered his mouth and smiled, "No, you stupid." She didn't look at him, she looked serious. She wanted to scold him sarcastically when she met him, but she didn't know how to say it. However, she complained angrily: "Hmph, ignore you." ”

"Who ignore me?"

"Hmph, I'll ignore you." Gu Ling pretended not to care and quickened his pace.

"Wait, wait." Jiang Yang quickly followed. This time he retracted his playful face and asked meekly in a whisper, "What?" Angry again? ”

"What do you say?" Gu Ling met his gaze and asked rhetorically.

"This..."Jiang Yang slowly turned his head back and looked at Chen Yue. Chen Yue listened silently to the conversation between the two on the side, and didn't say a word. When he saw Jiang Yang looking at him, he pursed his lips and shook his head to express helplessness. Now you'll have to make it clear for yourself. Chen Yue really wanted to tell him this.

"Okay, I know it was me who didn't do well last week, and I shouldn't have made the decision and didn't go home with you." Jiang Yang put his hand on Gu Ling's shoulder, shook it gently, and said, "Don't be angry, okay?" ”

"Hmph." Gu Ling turned his face to the other end, still angry, but his face couldn't help but become shy.

Entering the classroom, Gu Ling hurriedly walked to his seat and put his schoolbag on the table. And Jiang Yang also walked quickly to her side. "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I apologize to you." Jiang Yang pleaded embarrassedly, grabbed one of her table legs with his hand, and shook it gently.

"Alright, alright." Gu Ling stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "I don't have time to mess with you now, I'm going to read it early, hurry back and hand in my homework." ”

She sat down and stuffed her bag into her desk. Jiang Yang showed two rows of snow-white teeth, "Hehe." Jiang Yang smiled, and stood up after a while.

At the end of the day, he still hasn't been forgiven, he's not fully received. Jiang Yang turned around and prepared to return to his seat, "Huh? Where did Chen Yue go? He asked, pointing to the schoolbag on Gu Ling's table.

"I don't know." Gu Ling replied while taking out his textbook and looking at the door of the classroom. "I guess I'm going to the bathroom." They thought so together.

However, Chen Yue was not in the toilet at this time. Instead, they were on their way home. He followed them into the classroom, and his first instinct was to forget something today, so he hurriedly threw his bag on the table and ran back. At this time, it was almost less than 10 minutes before the morning reading class, and it was impossible to run home again. But he still had to do it.

When Chen Yue ran down the long slope, a person came up to him, and the person stopped him: "Chen Yue! The man stood still and shouted suddenly, even with some excitement.

"Yu Huilan, it's you." Chen Yue slowed down and said acquaintance to her. The girl wore a pink sports top, gray trousers and a pair of cartoon sneakers, and her black shiny hair hung beautifully from the back of her head with a blonde hair tie and a thick ponytail. Three years ago, she was his classmate in elementary school. In those years, Chen Yue was often ridiculed and ostracized in class, but she patiently and partially took care of and helped him, and was the only girl he met in elementary school. There is such a memory, which Chen Yue will never forget: it was one day after class, a group of children gathered around a classmate's table to watch silkworms spin silk, and Yu Huilan was also one of the viewers. They cheered happily and happily. And those who want to see but can't see are complaining around them, "Let me see, let me see." "Push, push, push. Chen Yueke has never seen such a good guy, silkworm? He had read poems about it, but he had never seen a real silkworm. He also walked over, stretched out his head to look, but gave a few hands to push it away. Just when he didn't expect it, when he turned around, his hand was held by Yu Huilan. "Come!" She spoke to him with a half-commanding tone, and pulled him to her side. She gave it up herself, "Let one let one let let one go." She pushed the person next to her back like crazy. Although there were more people complaining, that time, he really saw the silkworm on a silkworm leaf - real life.

"Seeing that you are in such a hurry, what's wrong?" Yu Huilan saw that he looked anxious and asked strangely.

"I forgot something and didn't take it."

"I'm going to be late to get it now, I promise!"

He thinks so too.

"Well, but I'll have to go back and get it."

"What is it?" Yu Huilan looked even more enthusiastic and excited in the face of this old acquaintance who had not seen her for a long time, "I guess you must have forgotten your textbook, which subject?" See if I bring it. ”。

Chen Yue shook her head, "No. ”

"What's that?"

"I forgot to bring the money, two dollars. It's very important, and it has to be used today. Chen Yue didn't say where it was used, and she didn't say that the money was used on others. When she asked him what he was spending the money for, he hurriedly said, "I'll have to go back and get it quickly." ”

"Wait a minute, I have." Yu Huilan realized that he was in a tense situation now, so she loosened the strap of the backpack on her shoulder, put the schoolbag on her thigh, and touched it from a small bag to find it. "Ah, there are exactly 2 pieces." As she spoke, she handed the coin to Chen Yue.

The one with one corner and the one with five corners just make up two pieces. Chen Yue took the money and bent down towards her with emotion, "Thank you so much, you have helped me a lot again, thank you." ”

Again: He said it inadvertently. In his heart, the definition given to him is: this simple and lovely girl has become his never-forgotten benefactor, like a divine goddess. "I'll give it back to her in the afternoon!" Chen Yue silently made up her mind.

On his way to school with her, he learned that she was in the first class, and the homeroom teacher was their physical education teacher, and said that her homeroom teacher was very kind to her classmates, rarely whipped and used sticks with her students, and most of them were verbal.

Once you have a good idea, nothing can stop it. After lunch, Chen Yue lay on the bed, just as her mother entered the room to get the coat hanging behind the door, when she left, Chen Yue got up from the bed, leaned on the edge of the bed and said: "Mom, the refills are running out recently, I want to buy a few." Mother didn't hesitate.

In the afternoon, when Chen Yue arrived at the school, the first thing he did was to run down the stairs and find No. 1 on the classroom door number on the first floor.

"Looking for whom?" A boy sitting by the door in the first row asked.

"Yu Huilan."

"What are you looking for her?"

"Pay her back."

"Yu Huilan, someone is looking for you." The man shouted, then turned back, "Come now." ”

Chen Yue nodded, and looked at the whole class roughly, the students in the front row looked down at the books, and the back row was a noisy and common class.

Unfortunately, Yu Huilan was not in the class. But there was a guy here, wearing a neat lapel shirt, black jeans, and a fake bald head. It looks like a big guy you can't mess with. "What are you looking for Yu Huilan?" The boy pushed Chen Yue into the corridor and looked at the little hairy boy in front of him with a look of contempt on his face.

"She borrowed me two dollars in the morning to pay her back."

"Okay, I know, just give it to me, and I'll pass it on to her."

"Okay." Chen Yue looked up at him as she spoke, and handed over the money in her hand.

The man took the money and tossed the coin into the air, "Well, it's two." He whispered, and then asked, "Why did you ask Yu Huilan to borrow money, who is she?" ”

What kind of person, this question sounded strange to Chen Yue.

"Elementary school classmates." Chen Yue replied very directly.

"Elementary school classmates?" The man grinned, and then said viciously: "Since they are all elementary school classmates, then don't come to trouble, won't you borrow from your current classmates?" Why don't you go to your kindergarten classmates to borrow it, come here? ”

Chen Yuezhen regretted that she didn't see her at this time, and she met such an unreasonable person. "I'm sorry." Chen Yue bowed her head and admitted her mistake aggrievedly.

"Okay, let's stay where it's cool!" The man yelled.

Chen Yue obediently turned around and walked away, he glanced back, and the black shadow was still standing there. He hurried up the stairs. Until now, Chen Yue didn't figure out what this guy was angry about, why he drove her away violently, and why he suddenly seemed manic when he heard about his elementary school classmates.

Back in the classroom, Jiang Yang was sitting in his seat talking and laughing with Gu Ling. He didn't want to bother. So he leaned on the railing of the corridor outside the classroom with his hands and looked at the scenery below the teaching building.
