Chapter 14: The Dog-Headed Commander

Breakfast delivery gradually became a common practice in the days that followed. Not only did Si Li himself adapt to such an early morning routine, but even his grandfather and grandmother no longer seemed to be in a hurry about his arrival.

Usually, when the grandson brings back breakfast, some of the two elders are doing some simple farm work in the field, while others are walking slowly along the river road, without the slightest guilt of being inadequately entertained. Si Li no longer looked at things and thought about things, and after completing the task, he left.

As for the question of where he can go to drink during the holidays, the answer is obvious.

Because Sister Liu was unfamiliar with professional knowledge, she assigned him a large number of tasks: to study and analyze a psychological event every week.

As a strict teacher, Sister Liu did not skimp on her love for her apprentices. Other people's teachers often look for materials that are universal, popular, and common-sense. But the events she is looking for, regardless of the protagonists and supporting roles, contain logic and behaviors that are beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding. Sometimes it can also make Si Li feel that such things should only appear in a dream world.

It is an eternal law that soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. In the face of difficulties, we will not back down, which is also the principle of Sili. Therefore, in order to complete these tasks, he spent the rest of his time in the bedroom, except for buying breakfast for his grandparents and occasionally going out to gather with his classmates and brothers. His parents traveled, and he did not accompany him. My sister tutors, and he doesn't pick them up. The isolated mode of struggle makes people wonder if he dropped out of school and came back to repeat. As for such a son, the parents were no longer worried after understanding the situation, and not only gave support and understanding at the spiritual level, but also increased their financial support. And his own little sister is puzzled. In just a few months, where is the good big brother who once bullied her as the joy of life? The current brother is sometimes as quiet as a wooden man. With a poke of his hand and a push of his back, he still did not move. The person who has always adhered to the principle that books cannot coexist during the day can now sit for an afternoon with a cup of tea, a chair, a book and a pen. Even after many questions, her brother just stroked her head, with a slight cool maturity in his silence.

The reaction of her relatives was expected in Si Li's view.

That's it, the holiday passed little by little. Three weeks later, Chinese New Year's Eve approached.

Chinese New Year's Eve, which is what grandfather's generation calls the thirtieth lunar Chinese New Year's Eve.

On Chinese New Year's Eve when I was a child, thousands of families were reunited, and it was peaceful. After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the family would always take Sili to the small square in the village to set off firecrackers. At that time, few families in the village were willing to buy TVs, and people who didn't watch the Spring Festival Gala would gather here. Take the family as a unit and divide it into piles. The old people will look at the running children with smiles on their faces, as if they are reminiscing about their distant childhood. Adults are busy communicating, some are exchanging annual harvests, some are comparing their children's descendants, and some are planning plans for the coming year. Compared with an innocent and innocent child like Si Li, he only cares about envying his peers who are lighting firecrackers.

Nowadays, the popularization and development of mobile phones and televisions are like shortening the distance of communication, and it is like building a wall between people. Through this wall, you can only hear its sound but it is difficult to get close. Most homes were closed and locked, just like the late Qing government. Some even moved the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to the hotel, and the seats were dispersed. Coupled with the impact of environmental protection policies, the noisy square for many years is now no longer able to see the bright light brought by the fireworks, and the weeds rush out of the green concrete floor, posing like a mockery.

Such a scene also affected the New Year's mood of the two brothers and sisters of the Zhao family.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the eldest uncle and the second uncle withdrew to the so-called new home with their families one after another. In the old house of his hometown, only Sili's parents were left watching the Spring Festival Gala with his grandparents.

Si Li, who was already tired of the Spring Festival Gala, made an excuse and slipped to the road by the river. The little sister also followed closely behind.

For the Chinese New Year, there are no people on the road. Some just sprinkle the dim yellow street lamps. Si Li walked in front, and Xiaomei walked behind, just 5 steps away from each other.

On the way, the mobile phone in my hand received the blessings of my friends as scheduled, and most of them coincided with each other.

Si Li, who received too many blessings, also borrowed a blessing from the Internet and sent it to his address book friends in his name, but he would also select a group of people not to send them when he sent them in groups. This group of people deserves to be written by him personally. In the selection process, he first selected a few good brothers and college roommates who could play well. But when he confirmed it again, he stopped at Mu Qing's name. He repeatedly canceled and ticked. After nearly 5 minutes of entanglement and hesitation, he finally chose to take out the names of Mu Qing and Xiao Mu.

After sending the group message, he began to write a personalized message of blessing. Talented, he quickly completed the tasks of the others, but there were still two thorns left and there was really nothing he could do.

Liu Muqing, who has a boyfriend, wants to express something ambiguous for fear of causing trouble. It is clear that there is a person living in the heart, but this person is someone else's person.

Ai Xiaomu, he treats her like a sister, and the text messages she sends are too sweet and will be suspicious.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally compiled the text message and sent it.

"Huh? Brother has a situation? At some point, my sister came behind me. As soon as the words fell, she snatched the phone violently, looked carefully at the message that the old brother had just sent, and pouted. Si Li wanted to snatch the phone back, but the little sister was so cute, so let her see it.

The little sister's smile gradually began to become obscene, and she couldn't help but pat Si Li's shoulder. "The girl you like is called Liu Muqing? The one we met at dinner that day? ”

"Go, go, go! It's not that, that one is called Ai Xiaomu. Just like you, cranky and insane. "Although the words are so ruthless, the demeanor of Sili is just touching his sister's head with his hand." What do you think about every day in your pig-like head? ”

Xiaomei wanted to fight back, but suddenly she thought of something, picked up her mobile phone and typed something, and glanced at her brother's mobile phone from time to time. Si Li wanted to lean over to look, but the little sister was very agile and dodged and walked forward. After hiding for about 5 minutes, the little sister gave him back Si Li's phone, and then continued to run forward with a smile. When he looked back, his charming eyelids twitched, like a little goblin. Si Li couldn't help but feel sorry for her future brother-in-law. How good a man can hold such a woman?

After such a fuss, it was about half an hour after going out. The mobile phone in Si Li's hand shows the information interface between him and Xiao Mu, and there is an extra line of words under the elegant and poetic blessing message: "Thank you, you have to come on (smiley expression)". Si Li smiled happily, but when he exited the page and saw that Mu Qing still hadn't replied to the message, he fell into a sense of disappointment. He put down his phone happily and lonely, and then moved in the direction of his little sister.

Continue to walk along the river road for nearly 5 minutes, and see a square, covering an area of about 5 acres. Unlike the deserted and dark scene of the village square, the lanterns were still hanging high and the crowd was noisy at night.

This contrast is probably due to the fact that the wanderer cannot return. On the opposite side of the square are several residential areas that have only been developed in recent years, and the neighborhoods are all new, and the people who live here are new. New faces, or people who come here from other places to work, or migratory birds that go south to escape the cold in winter. All in all, on the festive day, they did not return to their hometown.

These individuals will set up a big tent in this square, some people gather here purely for the sake of excitement, and some people are selling festive things to dispel the thoughts in their hearts. This way of celebrating the New Year also affects the people around you. In the past two years, every Chinese New Year's Eve, the square will sink into a sea of noisy and festive people.

At this point, Si Li picked up her phone and looked at it, but still didn't receive a reply from Mu Qing. He seemed a little lost. And the little girl standing in front kept playing with her mobile phone, as if she was chatting with someone, sometimes smiling happily, sometimes a little pensive.

"Brother, I think so, you have to think about it carefully." The little sister, who seemed tired of playing with her mobile phone, turned her head, looked at her own brother, and asked.

"What do you mean?" Si Li looked puzzled.

"Be brave or give up. I think Sister Xiao Mu is also good. Xiaomei's words are full of childishness, innocence and innocence.

"Shut up! If you want to buy something, I'll buy it for you! "Si Li didn't allow the little sister to make such a joke. In his mind, Xiao Mu has become his second little sister. He will love her like a brother. But Mu Qing, at least now, is the only one in his heart. He won't be selfish about other girls anymore. This principle is willing to be compared to a rock, and he will never waver.

After the little sister found out that her brother was angry, she also admitted that she was wrong and stopped mentioning it.

When the two walked to the New Year's gift area, Xiaomei made a suggestion: "You go over there to buy some food, I'll go here and see what there is to buy." ”

Si Li, who was a little bored with the girl in front of her, agreed with this suggestion. So the two parted ways.

Si Li kept an eye on her phone while strolling around. Every flicker of the light on the back of the phone was enough to make him look forward to it, but he was still disappointed again and again. The bright light only made him feel dazzling at this time, and there was no trace of beauty.

All the messages sent were answered. Only Mu Qing's page still only shows the message he sent out alone. Si Li kept comforting herself, maybe she was watching the Spring Festival Gala with her parents and family, and she didn't have time to reply.

Anxious, he put his phone in the palm of his hand and kept rubbing it.

Ding~ The back of the phone prompts the light to turn on again. He hurriedly opened the screen, and it was Mu Qing's message, a message that read, "Thank you for your blessings." The text message came into view. He was so happy that his lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, as if he wanted to cheer. But because he was in public, he had to restrain his joy. He immediately replied, "No thanks." ”。 Only this time, there was no response until the little sister met him.

However, at this time, Si Li was still happy. He pulled his little sister and rushed back to the snack area. Shopping spree is enough to release your excitement.

In that childish snack area, Si Li, who was already a young man, was like a child. On the contrary, it was the little sister, who looked at her brother quietly, smiling slightly, but like a loving mother.

Less than 10 days after the year, the holiday is coming to an end.

The day before returning to school, in the room, Si Li sighed helplessly as she looked at the specialties of the whole bed. He sighed that the acquisition of favors is also a physical work.

As the saying goes, one fresh, two ripe and three annoying. I remember the first time I went to college, my parents told Si Li not to leave anything in the room, and personally drove Si Li to the airport. Now, the lonely house and the lonely self make him feel that his status has plummeted because he is going to take a car to the airport alone.

The plane took off at 8 a.m. the next day, and Si Li, who had to get up at 4 a.m. to get on the road, was still packing. At this time, it was 9 o'clock in the evening.

Suddenly, the little sister walked into his room without saying a word or knocking.

"Who have you learned this bad habit? Don't knock on the door? Although she was full of scolding, Si Li, who felt sorry for her little sister, still made a mess on the bed full of things and asked her to sit down.

"This school is going to empty the supermarket next to our house?" After sitting down, the little sister looked at her brother with disgust. Without explanation, Silly continued to crouch on the ground and pack her things.

"What did you bring to those two sisters?" Seeing that the elder brother didn't take care of her, the little sister asked in a weird way.

"What kind of oil is that, it's all a mess of specialties anyway. I can't even figure out why they want things. Looking at the things that were difficult to pack up in a short period of time, he straightened and twisted his waist and sighed. Admittedly, when did he suffer this kind of anger. Where did the lightness and simplicity he pursued come from?

Seeing her beloved brother suffering like this, the little sister also got up and wanted to help.

"You are so delicate, please sit down. Don't bother me. Si Li pressed the little sister down very unappreciatively.

"Brother, don't you feel low when you send this thing to everyone and those two young ladies?" After Xiaomei clearly realized her brother's troubles, she began to change the topic. She hopes to use playfulness to distract her brother's anxiety.

"They mentioned it themselves, could it be like you to give a red envelope for a New Year's greeting? Vulgar or not? This time, Si Li no longer just answered silently, but glared at this vulgar sister viciously.

"Red envelopes? Cut, are you embarrassed to say? The red envelope you gave me is ...... 100 yuan, there is such a faint brother-sister relationship? Seeing that the elder brother mentioned the red envelope, the little sister was angry. Among the red envelopes received from everyone, she was most looking forward to the red envelopes of her parents and brother. But what disappointed her the most was her brother's red envelope.

"What's up? How much do you want? Why do you want so much at a young age? Can you learn something better? Sili quickly changed the topic and fought back against the old girl.

"I don't want to stay away from you. I'm here to help you. I'm ready to be your advisor! After several games, Xiaomei got tired of personal attacks. She began to get down to business, and came out with the confidence that she would do well.

"Yo? When I became a military advisor? What can I bother you? Si Li was puzzled.

"You're in a relationship with her." Xiaomei said proudly in the Cantonese she had just learned.

"Go, go, go! Brat. What do you know? Si Li loved and hated the woman in front of her. Hate because he is also involved in the love of children at a young age, and love is that he understands his little sister's love for him, and he can't help but smile.

Between thoughts and smiles, the little sister didn't know where to take out a small box about 6 inches in size and beautifully packaged. Through the pattern on the box. It can be seen that it was originally used for shell decorations. Then, she took out a small box with the size and appearance of a coke in a tin can, and this box was printed with the pattern of the seedlings bathing in the sun.

"Little Ancestor, what is this?"

"Here's my tip for you to help you succeed. The larger box is Sister Liu's, and the smaller one you give to Sister Xiao Mu. ”

"Where did it come from?"

"I bought it when I went to buy New Year's goods a few years ago."

"You can't have a bomb in here, do you?"

"Do you have persecution paranoia? The picture and text are absolutely consistent with the real thing......"

……

During the communication between the two, Si Li has been questioning the gift that Xiaomei has prepared for him. He shook it first, then listened, then sniffed, and it was almost all the inspection methods except for unpacking.

"Why do you want me to send these two things?" It took a long time for Si Li to think of this.

"Shells, they're the kind of people you can use to hear the sound of the sea. I chose this because I want her to hear you......" The little sister began to say narcissistically.

"Stop! Where did you learn this? She has a boyfriend, do you want your brother to be beaten? Si Li interrupted the little sister's narcissism.

"What are you afraid of? As long as the hoe is good, how can there be a corner that can't be dug down? Who is my brother? ......" Xiaomei is even more confident. This confidence comes from her appearance, financial resources, and personality towards her brother. But Sili understood that there was a big gap between him and the man. The reason why the little sister is like this is that those who don't know are fearless.

"Can you put all your mind on your studies and don't think about this kind of mother's idea." Although Si Li's mouth resisted in every way, his right hand put the gift into the duffel bag very honestly, but after putting Xiao Mu's gift, he subconsciously asked again: "Tell me about the meaning of Xiao Mu's gift." ”

"That's a triangular plum seedling. This flower is beautiful when it is planted. As she spoke, the little sister opened the renderings of the blooming triangle plum to Si Li.

"Don't you know that my school is not suitable for the growth of the triangular plum?" Sili, who has always been careless, can think so delicately today.

"Don't worry, my cowardly brother. Sister Xiao Mu, the climate in her hometown is okay. Besides, I'm still a bred hardy breed. You see I have a heart, right? In order to make the elder brother believe, the younger sister also made a special trip to open the relevant information to Si Li.

While looking at the information and praising the little sister, Si Li suddenly noticed that something was wrong. He asked the little sister very seriously: "How do you know where her hometown is?" ”

"This ...... This ......" Xiaomei hurriedly snatched her mobile phone and prepared to evacuate the scene.

"You've been in contact with her?" Si Li immediately supported the door frame with her hand, trying to block the little sister's escape route.

"I didn't ...... How can I reach her, right? You'd better pack it up. Come on, dude. The little and lovely little sister took advantage of Si Li's unpreparedness, passed under her arm, and ran away with blessings and smiles.

The lights on the stairs dimmed, but the screen on Si Li's phone lit up.

It's a message, and the content is just a smiley face and the word "come on". The person who wrote the letter was his own little sister.

Outside the window, the starlight began to shine over the lights......
