Chapter 11: Muscles and bones

Mother Shan is a person who can resolutely implement the spirit of "women can hold up half the sky".

She comes home from work if Shan Dad has just gotten off work or hasn't gotten off work yet. Single mothers cook, do laundry, clean, and tutor their daughters with homework without the slightest ambiguity.

Mother Shan is also a person who deeply believes in the truth that "if your husband doesn't call, your house will not be safe".

The neighbors will always have a picture of Shan Ma's mother chasing and killing Shan Dad in the courtyard with a broom, a small bench, a spatula and even a kitchen knife.

Mother Shan is also a warm, traditional, virtuous and virtuous person.

Of course, this image appears only in her daughter's composition.

As for Shan Dad, he didn't admit that his wife had this side. The devil knows if he's hiding something or showing off.

Even when I saw these words in my daughter's composition, the pride and pride in my expression, which was originally well hidden, seemed to overflow.

Shan Wenting, who grew up in such an environment, knows deeply that her parents love each other. She also knows that she has to study hard since she was a child, not for others and for herself.

In addition to studying hard, her mother doesn't want her to fall behind in the things that girls should learn.

Her mother taught her the tricks of laundry and cooking, taught her some basic piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and taught her how to be dignified and tidy as a girl......

Countless times, while learning certain skills. Mom frowned and looked at Shan Wenting who was either in a hurry and messing around, or she was dumbfounded and didn't know anything.

Helplessly, he shook his head and sighed: My son, who would want to marry you like this?

is also countless times, although Shan Wenting has not stopped at this time. The sentence in my heart was always almost a little bit out of my mouth:

Don't worry Mom, my brother has promised to marry him when I grow up.

As if to confirm the authenticity and credibility of this promise. Her brother would frequently come to the classroom window to feed her.

It is fed with all kinds of spicy strips, all kinds of dried fruits in small packets, crispy noodles with various names, all kinds of biscuits in strange packaging, and all kinds of ice cream with different flavors......

Of course, it is also the envy and jealousy of the classmates who are fed. In the various small circles of classmates, there are several different versions of stories between Shan Wenting and the senior male classmates.

Some people swear that she and he are neighbors, and the classmates' private arguments have noses and eyes.

A classmate who claimed to live nearby said that he saw her and him go in and out of the compound by the river. It seems that the senior boy is not her boyfriend, but should be a neighbor's brother or something.

Some people say that she and he are half-siblings, and the male classmates in the senior class have taken care of her all the way to grow up.

This version of the narrative is based on seeing that she and he were both overboard. The anonymous whistleblower was also standing on the beach on the shore at the time, seeing her fall into the water with his own eyes, and seeing him fighting for her.

Some say she and he are a puppy couple because they were seen cuddling in the grove behind the school after school. It's also kissing, it sounds vivid, like seeing it with your own eyes.

But this classmate, who seems to have seen it with his own eyes, has a face that shows no longing or envy.

Everyone is at the age of the beginning of love, why can you attract so much attention every day and be so frustrated with happiness?

Some people even said that she was a child bride bought by his family.

The audience next to them naturally looked disdainful and disbelieving: What age are you still buying child brides?

The teacher has said in class that the sale of child brides and daughters is something that only happens in the old society.

But what did that senior male classmate do when he spent money to feed her so often every day?

As for whether the senior male classmates bought Shan Wenting as a child daughter-in-law just by feeding snacks. That's a question that students don't care about and don't bother to delve into.

Boys and girls are at the age when love first blossoms. Whoever walks on the street to hold hands and hug each other will be regarded by the students as the best talk in their spare time.

What's more, the hero and heroine are around, and this kind of voyeurism at the emotional level is simply crazy and exciting.

But at the same time, we can't be too presumptuous. It's not that there are lessons from the past. Chubby just put a green worm in her stationery box, and was beaten up by the senior boy.

Who has the courage and guts to run straight to him and ask him face to face: Hey, what is your relationship with Shan Wenting in our class? Is it a brother and sister or a couple?

The fact that one grade is higher is there. You can't beat it, and you can't beat it when you run. Who can be so brave and have the confidence and courage to die.

Xu didn't dare to ask, Xu didn't bother to ask. It's better not to ask, but if you ask clearly, you will be greatly restricted from talking to each other.

There are a hundred Hamlets in the hearts of a hundred people? It would be better for these fifty people to have fifty different versions of her and his stories exchanged with each other to please the listeners.

Otherwise, how boring the ignorant time of a teenager would be.

What is surprising is that Shan Wenting, who is at the center of this storm whirlpool, is the calmest person.

She studies hard, she has excellent grades, and she respects her teachers. What surprised her classmates the most was that she was still able to let gossip about herself.

Neither explained nor disguised.

Every time her brother came from the other side of the hallway, she looked out the window and waited for him.

Every time her mother said it, the gossip of her classmates spread in her ears every time. The promise made at a young age will be buried deeper in the heart, muscles and bones.

Every time there was a margin for what was fed, she also generously put it in the drawer. Take it out and share it with your classmates during class.

The more she calmly dealt with this, the more her classmates were curious about her relationship with him. It's not good to be curious to ask her what the hell is going on.

I have the impression that there are her good sisters, and good friends have asked.

But every time she asked her, she talked about him left and right, or she was fooling around. After all, Shan Wenting's grades are so good and she is so generous. How dare the teenagers, the key is how embarrassed to get to the bottom of it?

is so generous and sensible, and his grades and character are so good that he can't be faulty.

In addition to the female classmates gathered in the toilet and quietly curious about each other. In addition to the male classmates' eyes blazing with envy and jealousy, the senior boy seemed to be "hugging the beauty".

Who would stare at an unknown answer and embarrass her in death and force her to be questioned?

Time is like a white horse passing by in the juggling of teenagers, in the thirst for knowledge, and in the curiosity about the real relationship between her and her senior male classmates.

On the banyan tree at the school gate, I know that summer is screaming.

On the podium, the biology teacher was sitting and sleeping.

When will I be like my senior classmates?

There is a mature and grown face.

There is only Shan Wenting, in addition to writing hard.

It's just that she is silent, and no one knows why she works so hard?

And why didn't that senior boy ever show up in front of the window for the new semester?
