Chapter 2 Indecisiveness
Xu Yun's home is not big, the house was built in 1989, and it is still an old house. Because there are many things and small places in the house, Xu Yun and her sister Xu Wen have been in a room since they were young and sleep in a bed.
There is a table in the room, as well as a simple bookshelf made by her father for Xu Yun and her sister, and a wardrobe, which is divided into two layers, and Xu Yun and her sister each have a floor to store their clothes for the whole year. Although the room is not big, it is clean and tidy, and the corners are full of books by Xu Yun and her sister, these books cannot be placed in the bookshelf, they are all organized, and 4 boxes are filled with empty wine boxes at home.
Xu Yun frowned, thinking about how to maximize the use of space in this room.
"Sister, I see that all you got back are books, so let's find a few clean boxes and put them together with the previous ones. I'll tidy up my closet again, I wear my uniform at school all day, I don't have many clothes, I pack up the lower wardrobe and make room for you. I'll pack my stuff in a small box and put it in the corner of your floor, and that's it. My sister pushed open the screen door and said.
The night in the countryside is so quiet that it seems to be heard when a pin falls on the ground. Xu Yun's heart is now like an unripe green apple, sour and bitter, and she didn't notice her sister behind her at all, and she was startled.
"It's okay, I have a lot of small clothes in the closet, and I can't wear them. I'll clean up, can you try to have something you can wear? I can't wear it, I put it up and give it to my mother. Xu Yun said.
Xu Yun and her sister have been like this since they were children, every time their mother buys clothes for Xu Yun, they buy one size bigger, just to be able to wear them for an extra year. I really couldn't wear it anymore, so Xu Yun washed it and gave it to Xu Wen after folding it. My mother read books when she was young, and she could embroider a little bit of things, and she was very good at needlework. Sometimes look at where the thread is open and sew it, look at where it is broken and make up it, and then embroider some flowers in the hole, and sometimes my mother puts together a few broken clothes that can't be worn, cut off the broken place, and make a small quilt to cover the stomach in summer, not to mention how good. In my mother's hands, there doesn't seem to be anything I don't need. At this time, Xu Yun always thinks that her mother is like a magician, everything can be transformed into flowers, whether it is people or things, they can give full play to their maximum value.
"Then I'll clean up with you. This is the plastic bag that my mother and I have saved, which is the most suitable for storing clothes, and it is damp. Xu Wen's big round eyes flashed, and he turned around and took 5 transparent bags of toilet paper from the drawer.
In the third year of high school, Xu Yun had a vacation once a month, and every time she went home, she stayed overnight on Saturday afternoon, and returned to school at 2 pm the next day. When I got home and finished eating, I first washed my clothes before dark, and then turned on the TV with my parents, mom and sister, and talked about the fun things at school until half past ten. The next morning I packed up my things and went back to school after lunch. I can't remember where I put a lot of things at home, but fortunately, my sister and mother prepared the bag in advance, otherwise it would have been a long time just to find the bag.
Xu Yun took one, and her sister tried one.
"This one is a bit big, and you can wear a padded jacket in winter. Stay. "This one is just right, I can wear it now." "This is good, I don't have this style of clothes...... Half an hour later, Xu Yun went through the spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes in his wardrobe. My sister said that it was very good, and another said that it was good, and in the end, half a cabinet of clothes, I packed up 3 pieces. It's really because I have washed it too many times, the warp and weft lines of the clothes are broken, and the fabric is broken as soon as it is pulled, and I really can't wear it.
"Sister, you put those three pieces in a plastic bag. The rest is just right for me to wear and put on my floor so you have space in your cabinet. Xu Wen pointed to the cabinet and said.
"Okay." Growing up, every time school has winter and summer vacations, a lot of things are moved from the dormitory. Due to the limited space, things had to be regrouped each time to find available space. After sorting and sorting things out, take them out again at the beginning of the school year, and then restore the room to its original state and clean it up. My sister and Xu Yun have long been accustomed to it, but after this time they are settled, they may not move out again.
Xu Yun has had the habit of "finishing things today" since she was a child. Dad and Mom also knew that after eating, they unloaded the things in the tricycle and put them at the door of Xu Yun's room along with 4 clean empty boxes.
As usual, Mom and Dad were tired from the day. I've already fallen asleep.
Xu Yun and her sister dragged the things into the house together, untied the rope on the bag, and began to classify the things.
Because Xu Yun had already sorted it in the dormitory before loading, she was very careful when she installed it and didn't mess it up, so it was cleaned up after 1 and a half hours.
Xu Yun swept the floor with a broom. Then he folded the bag, tied the rope, and put it in a drawer. After finishing it, my sister was exhausted and had already washed her hands and gone to sleep.
Xu Yun looked up at the clock on the wall, it was already 12 o'clock. It is common to study until 12 o'clock in the third year of high school, and Xu Yun often goes to bed at half past 12 o'clock. At this time, she was just a little sleepy. She cleaned up, washed her hands and face, and lay down in bed to get ready for bed.
Xu is too tired. Xu Yun closed his eyes, although he wanted to sleep, but his head was like a tide insect crawling, and he couldn't sleep. There is still a faint, warm smell of sunshine on the pillow and quilt, and today my mother must have dried the beds for Xu Yun and her sister, and there can be no tide insects.
The moonlight slanted down, through the mottled wooden windows, Xu Yun opened her eyes, the bright moon was in the sky, the countryside was quiet, and the cries of frogs and crickets were heard very clearly.
"Yunyun has been very heavy since she reached the third year of high school, and today she said that she didn't cry or make trouble when she took the college entrance examination. This kid is fine. I'm relieved if she cries and makes trouble, but I'm worried if she doesn't cry or make trouble now. She had always wanted to be admitted to a military school before, and it would be difficult to get this score as she said today. "At midnight, a faint voice came from the parents' room.
"It's fine. Yun Yun is my daughter and I know her. This kid is measured in his work and has a bottom in his heart. I heard that now that the university is expanding, our daughter's score is fine. According to last year's score line, she must have exceeded the line by a lot of points, and she must have gone to school. As long as you pass the college entrance examination, you can pass any difficult things in the future. ”
"This year, I spent a lot of money on tuition fees and living expenses, and your salary alone was not enough. If we come back for another year, not only will the children be stressed, but we will also be stressed. ”
"If the child wants to repeat his studies, I will provide it, and if he wants to go to college, I will provide it. Don't look at us now, we don't have any money, but education is the best investment. I've always believed that there is money when there are people. ”
"Hey."
"Don't think about it, go to sleep. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. Tomorrow I will go to the county seat to buy newspapers. ”。
Xu Yun has never slept, in fact, from the moment the last subject of the college entrance examination was written, she knew that she was far away from the military school of her dreams. When she came out and saw that the repeating school was enrolling, she asked for a brochure, but she hesitated when she saw the tuition fee. I took a brochure and went home.
Whether to repeat or wait for the grades to fill in the voluntary schooling, in fact, she has no bottom in her heart. Although the results of the last few mock exams have fluctuated, she has never scored 500 points, and she does not know what school she can get into with this score.
