It turns out that eating delicious food can really make people feel happy.

But Su Xian wasn't sure if it was this delicacy that pleased her, or the joy of the reunion of the old man that made her can't help it, no matter what it was, this was Su Xian's most comfortable in the past two years.

"Senior Brother Zuo, did you really know each other before? Where did you meet? ”

It is rare that Lu Xiran can still resist the temptation of food, and ask this question with a clear mind.

This question also won Ren Shang's heart.

The two of them looked at Zuo Yueyao in unison, looking forward to his answer.

Curiosity, everyone has it, Su Xian feels understandable, even if Zuo Yueyao and Pan tell the process of their acquaintance, it is understandable, she can accept it.

"I participated in an English competition in my junior year of high school and met me."

He lied......

Su Xian was surprised.

I think that people like Zuo Yueyao can't lie, and they don't disdain to lie.

"Oh." Lu Xiran continued to eat her food contentedly.

"Oh." Ren Shang always maintains the spirit of asking the bottom of the matter: "He is a sophomore, she is a freshman, and when he is in high school, he is a junior in high school, so how tall is she?" ”

"Sophomore." Lu Xiran replied seriously.

"How did you meet in the junior year English competition with the sophomore?"

"That's right."

"You'd better eat steak." Ren Shang pushed the orange juice in his hand: "Eat more and replenish some brain cells." ”

Zuo Yueyao's lie is really not level, and he is a novice at first glance.

Most of the steaks on the plate were eaten, Su Xian put down his fork and looked out the window, when he came in, it was still a light rain, but now it was getting heavier and heavier, and the occasional lightning that slipped brightly illuminated the sky for a moment, and soon fell into darkness again.

Su Xian likes rain, but he doesn't like the lightning and thunder, and always feels that it destroys the atmosphere of the rainy day, which makes people tremble.

"Senior brother is half right." looked at Lu Xiran, and smiled at Ren Shang again, this smile, with three points of sadness, seven points of resoluteness, Su Xian firmly believes that the friends around Zuo Yueyao will not be bad.

Things gather by like, people by groups, this is the truth that Su Xian has always firmly believed.

"When we met, he was indeed in his third year of high school, I was in my second year of high school, and I did participate in English competitions, but I didn't meet at that time, when we met, it was in my hometown, a place called Heyunling."

Memories, clearly swept through my mind, and the hidden story of two years ago was turned out again.

Two years ago, autumn was the season of fruitful fruits.

There is a jujube tree at the door of Su Xian's house, in autumn, the jujube tree is full of fruits, Su Xian likes to climb to the tree at this time to pick dates, pick a full bag and then climb down and pour into the basket, and when the basket is full, she will hum and carry the basket to send dates door to door.

Because the neighbors are very friendly to her, and from time to time they will give her some delicious food that can be taken at home, so every time at this time, Su Xian will happily give back to them the dates on the tree.

On this day, Su Xian climbed the tree, found a thick trunk to stand, humming an out-of-tune song, and was planning to send the basket to someone's house first when the basket was full for a while, when he suddenly saw his father running home from a distance, waving while running.

Su Xian ignored him either, anyway, her father's behavior was not something she could understand.

When he ran under the tree, when he looked up, he saw Su Xian on the tree, and panted and said, "Come down, the village committee will let you go." ”

"I'm not going." Su Xian thought to herself that it was probably Uncle Zhao who asked her to get eggs or something, she had just taken them a few days ago, and she was embarrassed.

"Someone from outside said that they came to inspect our village, and I heard that the inspection is good, and it will help us get rid of poverty, and your Uncle Zhao said that you are the most capable in the village now, so let you go and accompany you."

"Where do I know what to say to people, I won't go."

"Hey, you dead girl, you're a donkey, I don't know what to do, when you get over there, tell them more about our family's situation, maybe others can subsidize more when they see our family like this."

When Su Xian heard this, he didn't want to go.

Although she had just turned sixteen, she already knew etiquette, righteousness and shame, and the self-esteem of her youngest daughter's family made her slowly feel that she should be decent in front of others.

It wasn't until later that Su Xian understood that in the face of reality, self-esteem would be crushed to the ground.

After grinding for a long time, Su Xian always hung on the jujube tree that she was thinking about, and looked at her father, who was looking for tools everywhere under the tree to prepare for a tough battle, and quietly climbed up again.

"Hello."

The unfamiliar voice made Su Changlin stop looking, looking at the glamorous person, a little overwhelmed.

"You are Brother Su Changlin Su, right?" The woman's voice was kind and amiable: "I am Zhou Ling, from the Poverty Alleviation Office." ”

"Oh, okay, please take a seat, please take a seat." Zhou Ling looked like a literate city person, exuding the light of knowledge from top to bottom, in fact, Su Xian thought of his mother when he saw Zhou Ling for the first time, if God gave his mother a chance, she would definitely be as good as the aunt in front of her.

"Girl, what are you doing? There's a guest at home, come down. ”

Uncle Zhao, who never gets angry, successfully persuaded Su Xian, Su Xian hooked the slippers and was about to move down, and listened to Uncle Zhao's reminder: "This girl, why is she still wearing slippers to go up the tree, slow down, step on it and go down, be careful of falling." ”

Ignoring Su Changlin, Su Xian felt that Uncle Zhao was like her parent.

Su Xian turned his head, wanting to comfort Uncle Zhao not to worry, and then saw that there was still a person standing next to Uncle Zhao, a boy, standing directly below her.

A shiny white sweater, a pair of gray-black jeans, a pair of mud-stained white sneakers on his feet, a tall man, black shiny hair, and a pair of beautiful lips are slowly curving an arc.

The boy looked up at her movements, as if admiring some kind of scenery, full of interest.

Su Xian pretended to be very natural, pouting his ass and climbing down cautiously.

It's already embarrassing, if she falls into a dog and eats again, there is really no place for her old face.

After landing on the ground, Su Xian patted the mud on his buttocks, put down the trouser leg that had been rolled up, and then cleared his throat: "I'll send dates." ”

After speaking, she wanted to run, but Uncle Zhao grabbed her: "I'll help you deliver the dates, Secretary Zhou wants to go around the village, you are eloquent, accompany you." ”

Su Xianxin said: My eloquence is only limited to reading the opening speech according to the written manuscript at the opening ceremony of the school.

But Uncle Zhao didn't give her a chance to escape, and pulled her in front of Zhou Ling: "Secretary Zhou, this is the girl I mentioned to you, smart, good at learning, sensible, everyone in the village likes it, and can speak well, let this girl take you around." ”

Zhou Ling's gaze stayed on Su Xian, with a smile that did not discriminate, which made Su Xian's first impression of her exceptionally good.

Zhou Ling took off the leaves on Su Xian's head, and touched the top of Su Xian's head again: "I heard Village Chief Zhao praising you all the way, I really want to come and see, what kind of child can make Village Chief Zhao praise him so much, he is indeed a good child, come, introduce to you." ”

The good-looking boy approached.

"This is my son, Zuo Yueyao."

"Hello uncle." The good-looking boy greeted her with a smile: "Hello." ”

"This time, taking advantage of the National Day holiday, I will take him out to experience life, and see the world by the way, if there is any trouble for you, please bear with me."

Look, a cultural person is a cultural person, and there is nothing wrong with that.

The corners of Su Xian's mouth twitched, feeling that the word "seeing the world" was too modest, where could they let people see the world in this small mountain village, and she still wanted to go outside to take a look.

Zhou Ling rejected Uncle Zhao's proposal to arrange for them to live in a hotel in the town, first, from the village to the town, not to mention the distance, it was very inconvenient to come and go, and second, Zhou Ling said that only by living in Heyunling could they really feel the needs here.

So Uncle Zhao arranged them in the village guest house.

said that it is a house, but in fact it is the only tile house, next door to the village committee office, fortunately, the family is a mother and son, and they don't care, it is rare to be a good talker.

Zhou Ling wanted to go and see the crops, Uncle Zhao asked Su Xian to take it, Zhou Ling said: "Let the children stay here for a while and get to know each other." ”

So in the end, it became Uncle Zhao and Zhou Changlin who accompanied Zhou Ling to see the crops, and Su Xian felt that his father was rarely active.

Su Xian squatted down and pulled the dates in the basket, Zuo Yueyao stood behind her and watched her pull it, and neither of them spoke.

Su Xian pulled out a jujube that she thought was the biggest, turned her head, looked at the tall person with difficulty, and then spread out her palm: "Do you eat it?" ”

This is the hospitality that Su Xian learned from the people in the village, no matter who comes, it will not be wrong to serve tea and pour water and take delicious food.

Su Xian doesn't have any good things at home, only this date.

Zuo Yueyao looked at her condescendingly and smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, and reached out to pick it up, but Su Xian took it back and ran to wash it in the water before putting the dates in Zuo Yueyao's palm.

The dates were crunchy, much sweeter than expected, and after Zuo Yueyao finished eating one, Su Xian handed over another washed one.

After going back and forth, Zuo Yueyao ate ten dates in a row before refusing her kindness again, it seems that there is no need to eat dinner today.

He looked at Su Xian, obviously with the childishness and cuteness of a girl, but he was alive like a boy.

"My name is Zuo Yueyao." He introduced himself.

"I know, your mom just said that."

"Your name is Su Xian?"

"Hmm."

"How old are you?"

"Sixteen."

"We're both the same size."

"You're in your second year of high school, too?" The integration between peers is always so natural, Su Xian couldn't help but open the conversation.

"Senior year of high school."

Su Xian almost snapped his fingers to calculate.

"I skipped a level when I was in elementary school."

All right.

Su Xian divided the dates into several bags, tied them up, and put them back in the basket, so that it would be much easier to pick them up when they were given to the neighbors.
