homesick

Song Xiaoni and Xiao Muhe resumed running together. It was already dark, but the street lights were bright, and there were still quite a few people exercising on the playground. After running two laps and sweating, Song Xiaoni felt very comfortable and swept away all the anxiety of the past few days.

Song Xiaoni just lay on the lawn in the middle of the playground, looking at the starry sky, thinking that it was easy to see such a scene in her hometown, and at that time she felt that the sky had become lower and very close to her. The school is in the southern suburbs, a little far from the city, and it is not unusual to see the stars.

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Muhe sat next to Song Xiaoni and turned his head sideways to ask her. "Homesick, homesick?" Song Xiaoni also looked at Xiao Muhe, her eyes shining against the light.

"In our hometown, when it rains a lot in the summer, there will be a lot of loaches in the ditch, and I dare to catch them with my bare hands. The paddy fields are all terraced fields, and there will be a lot of crucian carp in the places where there is a gap in the flowing water, and we call them water fish. Once, I went to catch fish in the pond and almost fell, but luckily I grabbed the weeds next to me and climbed up, but my shoes fell off. When the rice is harvested, they go to the rice fields to catch fish, and the fish especially like to stay in the places where their feet have stepped on, where the water is deep and hidden. ”

"The small fish we catch are first wrapped in sweet potato flour and then fried and eaten as snacks. The bigger fish and loaches are braised in yellow, plus pickled pepper and ginger, and my mother's watercress is very delicious, and I can eat four large bowls of rice. In fact, my family has always contracted fish ponds, and there is no shortage of fish to eat, but I like to go to the fields to catch them myself. ”

Song Xiaoni was very nervous because of the high math exam some time ago, but now she has relaxed and talked to her mother on the phone, and now she sees the same starry sky as her hometown, she is really homesick, and when the conversation box is opened, she can't hold it back.

"Xiao Muhe, I'm sorry, I've talked a little too much tonight." Song Xiaoni was worried that Xiao Muhe didn't like to hear this. "Xiaoni, I like to listen, I want to know about your past life." Xiao Muhe's face was sincere, without a perfunctory look.

People are such a different existence, not only to eat and clothe, but also to share emotions.

"Xiao Muhe, do you know? My brother and I are looking forward to the Chinese New Year. We will clean the house before the Chinese New Year, and finish all the work in advance, so that we can eat, drink and have fun to our heart's content in the New Year's Day, hahaha! ”

"My grandfather is a well-known local chef, and he is willing to be invited to any happy event. So my mom is also a good cook, and my mom is willing to take the time and energy to prepare snacks for us for the New Year. Dried sweet potatoes, fried beans, fried peas, fried peanuts, twist flowers, fried fish, crispy meat, popcorn, and even rice candy are all made by yourself. ”

"I'd like to try your mother's craft when you say that, but I'm a little hungry now." Xiao Muhe touched his stomach.

"Now there is no food in the cafeteria, it's too late to go out and it's not safe, the supermarket should still be open, let's go to the supermarket and buy something to eat." Song Xiaoni stood up and patted her pants. "Okay." Xiao Muhe agreed.

The two walked on the road to the campus like this, talking with and without a pair, and Song Xiaoni stepped on the dried fallen leaves from time to time, making a clattering sound. Xiao Muhe realized that he and Song Xiaoni had never walked like this except for running, and they often had other classmates around them. And Song Xiaoni is not at all restrained at the moment, everything is so natural. They are getting acquainted with each other and getting closer.

As Song Xiaoni guessed, the school supermarket is still open. Song Xiaoni asked Xiao Muhe to sit on a chair at the door for a while, and she could go in and buy it. Soon, Song Xiaoni bought yogurt bread and came out. She handed the yogurt and bread to Xiao Muhe, and kept a box of yogurt for herself, "Eat it quickly." He took care of himself and plugged in the straw and drank. Xiao Muhe was not polite, ate the bread in a big gulp, and motioned to Song Xiaoni to help him insert the yogurt straw. Song Xiaoni inserted the straw so naturally and handed it to Xiao Muhe.

"Do you have something to say?" Xiao Muhe took a sip of yogurt and raised his head to meet Song Xiaoni's gaze. "Well, you said before that you would help me tutor high math, is it still effective?" Song Xiaoni didn't dare to blink her eyes, and looked at Xiao Muhe expectantly. "It works, but the time and place of the tutoring are up to me. Is there a problem? "No problem, that's as it should be." And so it was settled.

Song Xiaoni originally thought that it was Xiao Muhe who took the initiative to tutor herself, because she was reckless, and now she is begging others for counseling, presumably he will not agree so easily, but I didn't expect him to agree so happily.
