Chapter 8: Su Xusheng, hello
Su Manjin woke up and stretched. The sky was bright outside the window.
The clock in the hall was already pointing to eight o'clock.
Su Manjin hurriedly washed up and ate breakfast.
Seeing himself in the mirror, his little face was white and red, and his mood was inexplicably happy.
In her previous life, she was busy and dealing with a series of problems, she rarely slept peacefully, and at one point even suffered from severe insomnia.
Once again, she wants to make it easier for herself, live as she wants, and not be as tired as in her previous life.
Although, the cause has to be engaged. But, the state should be good. Mood, to be beautiful.
Su Manjin hummed a song and went to the kitchen, there was steamed sweet potatoes left for her by her aunt in the pot, and they were kept warm with firewood, which was fragrant.
After finishing breakfast, Su Manjin came to his mother's grocery store and planned to start designing the leaflet for the opening.
She had to sort out the products, unit prices, and opening event prices that she planned to focus on, and then go to the copy shop in the town to borrow a computer, find some pictures and typeset them and print them, so as to make a promotional leaflet for their "Meiyue Grocery Store".
Su Manjin took a copy of his homework book, and began to write and draw in the blank space on the back. Pause from time to time and ask Zeng Meiyue about the prices and discounted prices of specific goods.
It took an hour for a simplified version of the "Opening Rewards" flyer to come out.
Zeng Meiyue saw that her daughter was full of energy, so she went to toss with her.
Su Manjin said hello to his mother, put on a scarf and hat, tore off the leaflet he drew from his homework book and put it in his pocket, and quickly set off for the printing shop in town.
From home to Jingfeng Town, it takes nearly 40 minutes to walk. But it's a big road all the way, and Zeng Meiyue is not worried. Usually, my daughter walks to school by herself. Although the town is a little farther away, it is not dangerous.
Su Manjin looked at both sides of the road as he walked, the grocery store at the intersection, the motorcycle repair shop on the street corner, the tailor shop and dental clinic in Kangcuo Village, and the bookstore at the entrance of Jingzhong Middle School...... It's all what I remember.
At nine o'clock in the morning, everyone had already opened for business, and they were busy, all of them were a group of people who worked hard for their lives.
Su Manjin walked to the bottom of the big slope in Zhangcuo Village, feeling a little tired, young, walking too fast with too much force, a little panting, seeing the stones on the side of the road, hurriedly went over and sat down to rest for a while.
Patting his calf a little sore, looking at the hundred-meter-long slope in front of him, thinking that there was still half the way to go, Su Manjin sighed. I'm still too young and lack exercise.
In his last life, he won the 100m, 400m, 800m and 1600m championships in the junior high school and high school games.
Su Manjin shook his head, and his eyes inadvertently skimmed to the figure walking in the distance, hey!
A boy walked slowly down the slope ahead.
He had one hand in his trouser pocket and a dog's tail grass in his mouth, which dangled from his cheek as he walked.
The boy was taller than himself, and he wore a black coat that seemed to be a little hot when he walked, and the buttons of the coat were unbuttoned in two, revealing a slender neck.
The hair was a little long, slightly lowered, covering his eyes. As if there was something unhappy, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and the whole person exuded a mournful atmosphere.
Su Manjin watched him slowly approach, and his eyes fell on the bruises on the back of his hand. Remembering what he had told her in his previous life, he couldn't help but feel a heal in his chest.
Su Xusheng was in a bad mood today. Mom and Dad finally came home on the weekend, and he and his brother finally didn't have to eat the raw rice they made anymore. But Dad got drunk yesterday and did it again.
Last night, my mother saw that he had drunk a little too much, so she put away his wine, but my father swept a table of dishes and chopsticks to the ground, and pulled my mother's hair and beat her.
He rushed up to protect his mother and begged him not to fight again, but he was pushed to the ground.
After my mother dragged me to the room, my angry father kept banging on the door outside, shouting and scolding, and the noise didn't stop until midnight.
Su Xusheng tugged at his collar irritably and took a deep breath.
He didn't understand why his dad was drinking and why he was beating people after drinking.
He just felt that he was going crazy at the thought that his mother would be beaten like this when he was working outside with him.
And when he got up in the morning, those neighbors looked at him with pity, ridicule, and excitement, and watched him gossip that was deliberately suppressed when he passed by, and pointed and pointed: "That is Su Xihai's son"......
It all suffocated him and made him want to escape.
"Hello~Su Xusheng~" The girl's light and pleasant voice came.
Su Xusheng was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound suspiciously.
There were some small wild flowers growing beside the rocks by the roadside, and the girl seemed to be resting on the stones, holding a small pink flower in her hand and swaying lightly, looking sideways at herself.
Her eyes were clear and her smile was bright, like a beam of light, crashing into his eyes.
Su Xusheng couldn't help blinking, and forgot to take the dog tail grass off his mouth.
"Flutter~" Su Manjin looked at the boy's stunned appearance, and couldn't help it.
It's hard to imagine what he was like when he was a child.
In my last life, I was 13 years old when I met him, just in his second year of junior high school.
At that time, he slept in class, played after class, and cleared the customs in the dormitory at night - from the first room to the last room in the student dormitory, and beat anyone who was unhappy.
A proper grade bully. But after getting to know her, he chased her young and seriously.
I didn't skip class, I didn't sleep in class, and I started to study hard at night.
In order to write love letters, you should start with the Chinese language and use writing as an exercise in writing.
Before morning self-study, she played a game of basketball and had to look back in the direction of the school building countless times because she was reading in the morning by the wall of the corridor outside the classroom.
During class, I deliberately went to her class to find classmates, just to see her.
Once, on the way home from self-study at night, she was stopped by a group of boys, and he caught up with her to help her solve it. She realized that he followed her from a distance every day, escorted her home, and then climbed over the wall to go back to school.
In the third year of junior high school, on her 14th birthday, he used the savings for two months to buy her a teddy bear and a cake as a birthday gift. Fifteen years later, they got married, and the teddy bear was transferred by her to the couple's marital room.
Later, in the busy third year of junior high school, she took time to help him tutor English during the winter vacation, and agreed to work together to go to high school in the county seat.
It's a pity that after graduating from junior high school, he dropped out of school because of family reasons. She was admitted to the county No. 1 middle school alone.
In her three years of high school, she was busy studying and catching up with rankings. And he was forced by his family to learn to work as a plasterer. They lost contact.
When she was a freshman, he suddenly contacted her, saying that he was going to be a soldier, and he would go for two years, and asked her if he could come to see him off.
She knitted a scarf for him with her own hands and wrote a greeting card.
It was inconvenient for the troops to talk and write letters, and they didn't have much contact in those two years, so he occasionally left a message in her QQ space to greet her.
Later, when I heard that he was discharged from the army, friends said that he would ask her about her from time to time, but he did not contact her.
Until the day before she graduated from college, he called and said that he had come to Xiamen and asked her if it was convenient for her to meet.
Later, one day after getting married, she saw the little card in his wallet.
"Brother Sheng, this is the first time I have knitted a scarf, and I may not knit it very well, but I hope it will replace me and surround you with peace and beauty in your life."
The corners of the card were a little torn, and the handwriting was a little blurry, but he still carefully put it away.
Su Xusheng once told her that the luckiest thing for him was to meet her when he was 13 years old.
Su Manjin sighed and shouted at him again.
"Su Xusheng, what are you in a daze? I'll say hello to you~"
The girl looked at him coquettishly, and Su Xusheng's face turned red. He was a little confused, but a little surprised, because she looked into his gaze - clean and soft, with sincere concern.
"You, how do you know my name?" He asked softly, his voice a little nervous.
"Of course I know", the girl smiled and said, "I am from Sujia Village, and my house is next door to your aunt's house." ”
Su Xusheng's aunt did marry into Sujia Village, and it was two yards away from Su Manjin's house. The two families are cousins, and according to their generation, Su Manjin has to call her an aunt. After the two got married, she changed her name to aunt with Su Xusheng.
"Oh, then why are you here? Also, what's your name? I haven't seen you before when I went to my aunt's house. Su Xusheng's continuous questions made Su Manjin laugh.
"My name is Su Manjin, a romantic man, a brocade with a bright future. You have to remember. ”
"You haven't seen me before, maybe it's because it's unfortunate, so you met today."
"I'm going to go to the town, do you want to come with me?"
Su Xusheng followed Su Manjin back to the top of the slope before he reacted, why did he have to accompany her to the town? Aren't you going to your aunt's house to relax?
Forget it, just accompany her, she ran so far away from a little girl's house, and she had nothing to do anyway, so accompanying her would be regarded as a distraction.
The main thing is that it's easy to get along with her. Walking beside her, looking sideways at the corners of the girl's crooked mouth, she was really like a beam of sunshine, dispelling the haze in her heart.
