"Five, four, three, two, one!" The girl looked down at her watch and silently counted the time, and the class bell rang as soon as the sound fell. She hurriedly took out her schoolbag and shouted to the girls who were several rows away from her in front of her, "Bag, I'll wait for you at the door of the toilet, you hurry up and pack up!" With that, he turned around and ran out of the back door of the classroom at hand. The girl who was called the bag just turned her head and made an OK gesture only to find that there were still people next to the back door, only the books scattered on the table proved that there were people sitting in this position. She packed her schoolbag unhurriedly, smiled helplessly and shook her head, "Really, why are you always so in a hurry." ”

My name is Gu Zhixia, I am an ordinary sophomore in high school, if I have to say something special, it may be that I am a single parent, I don't have a mother, but this does not affect me to be an optimistic and cheerful person. Here I would like to focus on my father, who always said that I was not good-looking and did not look like him at all, and that I was certainly not born to him. He always said that I was as beautiful as dew in the moonlight, and that I was the most precious gift that God had given him. I asked him why he didn't name me Yuelu in this case, Zhixia didn't sound good at all. Every time he heard it, he would smile and say that Zhixia was the best name.

My father and I live in a small yard in the countryside, and there is a fig tree in the yard, and I like the day when my father takes me to pick figs in the summer, and it bears sweet fruit. My father never had much contact with the people in the village, and he didn't seem to have to work to revolve around me every day, so he spent summer after summer. Later, when I reached the age of elementary school, my father accompanied me all the time from the beginning to the early and late returns, which did not make me less dependent on my father but more clingy to him, I knew that he was working hard to make me have a good life, and I didn't want him to be disappointed so I kept studying hard. Later, I was admitted to a key junior high school in the city, and I didn't want to go because it meant I had to live on campus. I had a big fight with my father over this, and in the end I compromised.

It seems that at that time, my father and I gradually became more and more distant, and my father said that he was very busy so he rarely called me, and only came to see me once or twice a semester, and did not come to the parent-teacher conference. I finally got through the holidays, I hurriedly asked for leave and went home early, and when I got home, I learned from my neighbor's aunt that my father hadn't been home for three months, and I made countless phone calls to my father but didn't get through. I didn't know what my father was doing, I didn't know where to look for him, and I asked everyone in the village who had been in contact with him and didn't know what he was doing. Finally, after a week of anxious waiting at home, my father returned, and I excitedly pulled out two perfect test papers from the room, put them behind my back, and ran to my father. Before I could speak, my father began to pack up his things, and said to me while cleaning up, "Zhixia, Dad is going to go out to earn a lot of money, Dad rented a small house for you next to the school, you will live in the city in the future, don't come back, wait for Dad to earn a lot of money to buy a big house for Zhixia to live in, Zhixia can buy whatever he wants." Zhixia was extremely aggrieved, tears rolled in his eyes but never fell, "Dad, then when will you come back after you leave, I don't want a big house, Dad, don't you want me anymore." Dad stopped, took me with one hand, and pointed to the fig tree in the yard and comforted: "In this way, I know that I live in the city during the summer and winter vacations, and come back during the summer vacation, and every year after it bears fruit, Dad will come back to accompany you to pick fruits, okay." "But..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his father's mobile phone ringing, he glanced at the caller ID and immediately answered the phone with his back to me, "Hey, Brother Ma, what's wrong." "Okay, okay, I'll clean it up right away." "So soon, I'll be looking for you right away." After hanging up the phone, my father turned around and squatted down and said to me, "Dad is leaving, Zhixia doesn't have to work so hard, you want to live a happy life, you know." Then he closed his suitcase. After placing an envelope on the table, he turned and walked out the door. "Dad, you still have a lot of clothes to take, and the figs are ripe, pick some and bring them." The father stopped but did not look back, "It's okay, Dad can buy it when he arrives at the place." Looking at his father's back as he walked away, the test paper behind him didn't know when it fell to his feet, Zhixia couldn't help but squat down and hugged his head and cried, Zhixia didn't know that every step his father took was so heavy. After sorting out his emotions, Zhixia opened the envelope on the table, which contained a letter, a bank card and a key.

I remember doing a lot of things that day, I picked all the ripe fruit and prepared to take it to the city to share with my friends, and then packed my bags. I didn't take the toys my father made for me, the clothes that my father didn't have time to take away, and the post-it notes that were posted everywhere in the house. I knew it was time for me to be independent. Close the doors and windows and put away the keys, and later.... Oh yes, and then I knocked on the door of my neighbor's aunt, and I told her that I would live in the city and come back every summer, and that there were some unripe fruits for her to pick and eat when they were ripe. We exchanged phone calls, and she dropped me off at the entrance of the village, complaining on the way that my father was relieved to let a little girl live on her own, and telling me to be careful. The moment I stepped on the bus, everything became blurry, and I looked out the window and looked at the place where I had always lived, as if the only thing I had to do with myself was the locked yard. There wasn't even a single person to say goodbye to in this place. My father rented me a small house, but it was big enough for me to live on my own. I packed my things and was ready to go to the pet store to buy a dog to accompany me.

As soon as I arrived at the pet store, I was attracted by a cute puppy at the door, and when I entered the door, I found a little girl squatting in front of the cage and watching it quietly. "Boss, how much does this dog cost?" Some of my voices didn't seem to be heard, and continued to be busy with the work in hand, but startled the girl who was watching the dog. I was about to call the boss louder, but the little girl got up and grabbed the corner of my clothes, "Can you not buy it?" "Why?" "I picked it up and sent it here, and I'm trying to convince my mom to agree to keep it, can you buy it, you can buy a big dog, the big dog can protect you, I really like it." I looked at the incoherent girl with teary eyes in front of me and was a little at a loss, "I, I, I, I don't buy it, don't cry." "Really?" "Well, I'll listen to you, I'll buy a big dog to protect me." After speaking, the little girl finally smiled, wiped her tears and said to me, "Thank you, my name is Bao Ningqian." "Little thing, my name is Gu Zhixia" Later, she accompanied me to choose an Alaska, and I named it Huahua. That day in the pet store, I met two important friends in my life, Bao Ningqian and Huahua. Although I was the only one, I still listened to my father, lived a serious and happy life every day, and kept talking on the phone with my father once a month, although it was only a few minutes at a time, but I was still satisfied. At the beginning of the first semester, a new classmate was transferred to the class, yes, it was very dramatic, and that person was Bao Ningqian. After becoming classmates, we became closer and closer, she fought many times, but in the end, her mother did not agree to raise the dog, her family education is very strict, we have known each other for so many years, she has never come home late, she has always been among the best in exams, her homework is very good, she said that her wish is to become a pianist, and slowly we became best friends, with countless secrets that only each other knows.

In the summer of my third year of junior high school, it was time for the fig tree to bear fruit, so I cleaned up and went home with Huahua. The father, who hadn't seen him for a year, became thinner and thinner, and Huahua didn't seem to like his father, so he ran away as soon as he saw his father. We were still picking fruit as we had been talking about what had happened in our year, but mostly I was saying that my father was just listening quietly. My father didn't talk much about himself and never mentioned his job, but every time he would give me a lot of money to make my life better than most of my peers. I think his work must be very hard, I will always silently think in my heart that I must study hard and make money to support him so that he doesn't have to work so hard. "Zhixia has decided which school to go to?" My father's sudden voice startled me: "Well, I'm going to go to a school with Baobao, but the score line is a bit high, so I've been working hard to revise recently." "Seeing that Zhixia has his own plans, my father is relieved, I go to high school, if there is a place where I need money, send me a text message, I usually don't have time to answer the phone, but when I see a text message, I will transfer money to you, protect yourself, don't be wronged, you know." Listening to his father's words, his nose was sour, "I know, Dad, I can protect myself, and I will protect you in the future." Last year, when I had a parent-teacher conference, a boy said that I didn't have a mom or dad and that no one had ever given me a parent-teacher conference, and then I beat him up, and no one dared to talk about me anymore. "Father probably didn't expect me to say this, turned his head and couldn't bear to look at me" Zhixia has grown up, and Dad will rely on Zhixia to protect Dad in the future. ”

In the second semester of the third year of junior high school, Bao Bao has been helping me with my homework, and I was admitted to the same school as her as I wished. When I went to high school, my life didn't change much, I returned the small house that my father rented and rented a similar one next to the new school, and I still live with Huahua and one dog in the small house. Baobao's parents are very busy, her house is far away from the school, I once offered to let her live with me, but her parents were afraid that it would be unsafe for her to rent a house off campus, and they were afraid that she would become bad, so they let her live on campus.

We also made a new friend at the new school, a boy named Chu Ziang, his family seems to be in business, to say how we got together. On the day of the opening ceremony, Bao Bao spoke as a representative of the freshmen, and when she spoke, someone suddenly pushed open the back door of the studio, and the movement should not be very big, but he seemed to push it a few times and didn't push the door open. Then the audience was silent, the bag that was giving a speech also stopped, the teachers sitting in the front row stared at the boy who had just pushed the door in, and the teacher standing at the back door had a green face, and hurriedly pulled him to stand in the corner. Later I found out that he was in the same class as us. He's a problem teenager, and he's late enough to jump over the wall and fight everything, and it's her responsibility to discipline him as the squad leader. I can't get used to him always causing trouble and blocking the bag, so I helped the bag teach him a few times, but every time it was a tie, no one could take a little light. We were incompatible, but I didn't expect that one day after school, I went to the mall with my bag to buy something, and on the road I saw Chu Ziang standing in the roadside alley shivering, we thought he was in danger, in order to protect the psychology of classmates, we rushed in, and guess what, he turned out to be a dog opposite. The dog stared at him viciously and bared his teeth, he stood there and didn't dare to enter or retreat, who would have thought that Chu Ziang, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was afraid of dogs, and now he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of that scene. Later, he walked out of the alley trembling under the escort of me and Baobao, and after that he always pestered the two of us, and the duo with Bao Bao had to become a threesome.

Until a few days ago, the sophomore year of high school began to divide the class, I have been biased since I was in high school, but in order to wrap up, I willfully chose the liberal arts that I am not good at for the first time, and Chu Ziang did not follow the big army this time, but he also came to our class after class as before, and took us to "fool around" after school, everything seemed to be going on step by step.
