Chapter I
Hi, is that you? Cold dawn! ”
I hadn't seen each other for more than two years, but she still recognized me at a glance. I recognized her a long time ago, but I didn't know how to say hello, and I was hesitating.
Business is good. I replied with a smile. In fact, at this moment, I was trying to hide my sudden heartbeat, an indescribable excitement. She was still the same as before, with short black hair; A black close-fitting sweater and a blue denim vest still look so neat.
Hey, joking. How's it going, are you still studying? ”
Just as she was about to answer, the mother put down her socks and got up.
Do you know? ”
yes, Auntie. You Han Xiao and I are old classmates, or are we at the same table. ”
Ouch, look at it, you're doing business on your own, our family Hanxiao is still studying, and I don't understand anything. I don't know what the exam will be like when I see the exam coming. ”
Auntie, you can rest assured, I know Han Xiao, he is very smart, he will definitely be able to pass the exam. ”
Once the two women talked, I didn't want to intervene. Fortunately, she always looked at me when she spoke, and she had a smile on her face, which made me feel a little better. However, I have to thank my mother, with her to solve the siege, my mood is not as nervous as before.
After a while, the stall was full of people, and they accepted the conversation. But she quickly picked out two pairs of socks from the cardboard box and stuffed them in her mother's hand: "Wear them for Hanxiao, count them as my gifts." ”
When her mother gave her money, she refused to accept it, so she had no choice but to give up.
Then here we go. While my mother was still saying, "What a shame is this, asking you to make a loss-making deal," I was already starting to take a step. Although I still want to continue to look at her smiling face, but-hey, how to say, when I see her, I feel inexplicably nervous, and it is better to run away.
What's her name? "Out of the market, my mother asked me.
Lin Li. "Where's her home? ”
It seems like it's in the alley in front or behind, I don't quite know. I gestured as I spoke.
Lin Li is my junior high school classmate and has been sharing a table with me for three years. At that time, I was the youngest and youngest in the class. She was two years older than me, and she was the most active girl in the class, and she was getting into trouble with boys everywhere. She kept going back and forth in self-study classes, and she broke my untold number of erasers - even now, I still don't have the habit of buying erasers. She will laugh and give you a punch, and when you fight back, she will puff her chest and widen her eyes, "Hit, why don't you fight?" "One day, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I united a few boys to make a small report to the teacher. The teacher was brushing his teeth, listening to an impassioned statement, and then rolling his eyes over like his mouth full of toothpaste, what? I don't believe a girl is so scary. ”
We had no choice but to leave. The complaint was not successful, but she was made aware of the complaint. Once I borrowed an eraser from her, she ignored me. Hmph, I wish I could. So no one paid attention to anyone, and everything was fine. But the funny thing is that every time you wipe the table, no one forgets the other party's half.
Children are children, and by the next semester they were reconciled as if nothing had happened. At that time, I used to bring some food to school, such as tortillas, buckwheat buns, peaches, plums, apricots, apples, pears, grapes, and even tomatoes and cucumbers. Don't laugh, it's rural, and it's all children, it's nothing. I remember once making a bet with someone else, and I won, but the boy was stunned and plucked two large turnips from his own field, and each person divided a small piece. That afternoon, the classroom couldn't get rid of the stench. Her family is in business, so naturally she doesn't grow these things, so she is always the most slanderous. So much so that I came to school later. She always looked to see if my bag was bulging.
By the third year of junior high school, I found that she was becoming more and more beautiful, and from time to time she would come up with a few words that I couldn't understand, such as "liking is not equal love". She loves to sing and always hums pop songs in her free time. At that time, the pop music scene was dominated by Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, and she wore "high heels" all day long, "clearly understood my heart", and often "came and went like fog, rain and wind", "coming and going leaving only an empty space". One day after school, she leaned into my ear and said, "Han Xiao, you won't be happy without me." After saying that, he picked up his schoolbag and ran away like a gust of wind. I don't know what she's talking about, I really don't understand. But she didn't arrive at school the next day, looking at the empty seats around her, without the singing and laughter she was used to hearing all day, her heart was really a little empty. But it was only for a moment, and it slipped by.
I'm going to take the high school entrance examination, although my studies are not top-notch, but I am confident that I can still be admitted to high school, as for her, I think there is little hope. Not to underestimate, but to understand. We were in the same exam room, but separated by two rows of tables. When I took the last exam, I was in the exam room with a pinching time. In her arms, she carried two green apricots the size of eggs—specially picked for her in the orchard. After answering the question, I saw that she was still biting the pen there. While the teacher was not paying attention, she took out an apricot and shook it in the air, and when she saw it, she immediately smiled happily all over her face. Out of the exam room, she put her hand in front of me and brought it. ”
What? "I deliberately teased her.
Don't wait for me to do it myself. ”
So, she smiled as I took out two green apricots from my pocket, took them, and handed me another one, you eat. ”
Don't be kidding, I can't stand it, you better keep it for yourself. ”
She laughed self-deprecatingly, grimaced, and laughed. ”
On the day of the graduation photo, we didn't talk much. She sat quietly and watched me fold a blank piece of paper on the table. Later, when I came to the front of the classroom, before it was our turn, I took a small bamboo stick and beat the window glass very boringly. She saw it and said, "Be careful, that piece of glass is not secure." I still didn't say a word, just cast her a grateful look. And she, as if she still had something to say, only moved her lips and didn't say anything more. Really, I don't understand anything. After taking pictures, I was worried that my mother wanted me to go back early to help her work, so I hurriedly ran out of the school gate alone.
The next thing happened was that I went to high school and she didn't make the list. I don't know why, I started to deliberately avoid her. Although it is not far to the town, I rarely go and rarely go shopping, but I have to go to do everything, and I come and go in a hurry, and I never stay. But in fact, I really wanted to see her. Either way, I hadn't seen her for nearly three years. Today, if you hadn't followed your mother, how could you suddenly break into her?
It's a self-defeating one!
