Sharp first test

On the day of the official winter vacation, Yang Shiqing watched Ming Xu pack his suitcases and get on the bus with his bags. Then he went home and made a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, obediently waiting for his brother to pick him up.

Until he lay on his big bed after a long absence, looking at the ceiling that he had been staring at for more than ten years, Yang Shiqing still felt in a daze.

The winter vacation has begun.

In the past few days, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year has become more and more intense.The day before New Year's Eve, my brother and dad went out early in the morning and drove back to their hometown.When Yang Shiqing got up in a daze, only Mama Yang was left in the house, wearing an apron and feeding him noodles.

Yang Shiqing didn't react for a moment: "Mom? Where's Dad?"

"Going back to the countryside." Mother Yang brought a plate of dried noodles, "Come on, brush your teeth, wash your face, and have breakfast."

Yang Shiqing rubbed his eyes and went to the bathroom, and when he came out he was much refreshed.Mother Yang prepared the bowls and chopsticks for him, and Yang Shiqing started to move the chopsticks as soon as he sat down.

"Are you going to hang out with your classmates later?" Mama Yang asked suddenly.

"Ah?" Yang Shiqing was confused for a second, "Oh, no. Wen Ze went back to his hometown, didn't Ming Xu also go back to his house?"

"Oh, that's fine, then you can stay at home for a rest during this time, and read a book by the way."

Yang Shiqing nodded and buried himself in eating noodles.Mother Yang said again: "Come with me to the supermarket to order food after the meeting is over. We will cook something to eat these few days. We will have a good meal together when your dad and the others come back in the third day of junior high school."

"Sure, no problem."

In the supermarket, bright holiday signs are hung everywhere, and the exhibition shelves are full of new year's goods.Yang Shiqing was pushing a shopping cart, and Yang's mother kept putting quick-frozen dumplings, glutinous rice balls, noodles and noodles in it, and bought some vegetables and seafood.

When passing by the marinated vegetables freezer, Yang's mother asked Yang Shiqing if he wanted to eat this, and Yang Shiqing subconsciously blurted out: "Ah, Mingxu likes it."

I felt embarrassed after I finished speaking.

Mother Yang smiled, thinking that the two brothers had a good relationship, so she said that she would bring some for you two when school starts.

A total of two big bags of New Year's goods were bought, many of which were snacks for Yang Shiqing to bring to school when school started.Yang Shiqing took one in each hand, and Yang's mother checked the receipt in front.All the way home, Yang Shiqing put down his things out of breath, washed his hands and went to the kitchen to help his mother.

Wash the noodles and vermicelli and put them in the refrigerator. The leaves of the vegetables are also arranged and washed, soaked in water in a basin, and fried for a while.The mother and son cooperated very well. Mother Yang cut vegetables and Yang Shiqing washed the rice. Occasionally, he asked a few questions about school or study, and Yang Shiqing answered with a smile.Soon, a few simple home-cooked dishes will be ready.

After lunch, Yang's mother was sitting in the living room knitting a sweater, and Yang Shiqing was watching TV on the sofa covered with a blanket, and then asked, "Mom, what are you knitting?"

"Scarf," Yang's mother smiled, "It's for you and your brother, look." After speaking, she raised the half-knit long scarf. It was a large gray checked scarf, which looked very warm.

Yang Shiqing smiled and praised her mother's craftsmanship, watched TV for a while, and then ran to the room.

After much deliberation, he decided to open the textbook to review the knowledge points he had memorized, but after flipping through a few times, Yang Shiqing was attracted by the photos hanging on the wall.

It was an artistic photo taken in his kindergarten. In the photo, the child had dark and shiny skin, piercing eyes, wearing a small custom-made Chinese tunic suit, and a small face, which seemed a bit cute.

Yang Shiqing couldn't help being distracted, remembering that when she was a child, her skin was so dark that even her own mother doubted it, and then she slowly turned white again, and now she finally has a normal complexion.Thinking about Yang Shiqing, he thought about Mingxu again. A few years ago, in Mingxu's eyes, this was the image of himself.

Cough... It's far away, come back and come back.

Yang Shiqing picked up the textbook again, carefully read the knowledge points silently, and then wrote the questions to the materials.Ten minutes later, Yang's mother yelled in the living room: "Shi Qing, mother is going to the company, you should do it yourself, come back and let's make a small hot pot!"

"it is good."

The door slammed twice, and Yang Shiqing finally couldn't concentrate anymore, just staring at the phone screen and thinking wildly.

It has been three or four days since the holiday, during which Yang Shiqing never took the initiative to contact Ming Xu, and Ming Xu never came to him.

They have been out of touch for several days.

Maybe it's because Mingxu has been busy signing up for self-enrollment during this period of time.

But tomorrow is New Year's Eve, shouldn't I make a phone call... to say hello?No matter how busy you are, you have to celebrate the festival.

All right.Yang Shiqing rushed to make a phone call, and Ming Xu quickly picked it up, as if he was waiting for him.Before Yang Shiqing could speak, Ming Xu said, "Go to WeChat, let's make a video."

Yang Shiqing subconsciously agreed, hung up the phone, obediently waited for Ming Xu's video invitation to come, and then accepted it.

Mingxu's face appeared on the screen, and Yang Shiqing couldn't help laughing immediately.

"What are you laughing at?"

"No."

Mingxu also smiled.

Yang Shiqing saw that Ming Xu seemed to be in the kitchen: "Have you eaten yet?"

"No, I'm cooking soup in a pressure cooker." Mingxu looked at Yang Shiqing on the other end of the phone, his eyes bent into gentle crescents, "What are you doing?"

"Let's write a question."

"Ah."

Yang Shiqing felt that Mingxu's mood was not too high, but Mingxu kept smiling at him, and he didn't know how to ask for a moment.

After being silent for a while, Mingxu took the lead and said, "Are you home alone now?"

"That's right, my brother and my dad just left this morning. My mother went to work today, and now I'm the only one at home. I went to bed late yesterday and slept until ten o'clock in the morning. When I woke up, I realized that I was a left-behind child again."

"Pfft." Mingxu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing that Mingxu's expression finally eased a bit, Yang Shiqing also relaxed, and said with a smile, "I can't help it, I slept too soundly, and I didn't hear any movement outside."

Mingxu nodded meaningfully, and then said, "It's like that time when you lay in my arms and fell asleep, and you didn't want to wake up the next morning no matter how you shouted?"

Yang Shiqing didn't expect Ming Xu to mention this again suddenly, and froze in place for a while, blushing so much that he didn't know what to do to express himself.

Mingxu smiled again: "Do you still remember how I woke you up in the end?"

"……Hey!"

Yang Shiqing felt that Mingxu had really become more and more coquettish recently, breaking his lower limit again and again.But when Yang Shiqing told Ming Xu about this complaint, Ming Xu laughed so hard that he leaned back and said that I have always been flirtatious, but I was just holding back for fear of scaring you away.

All right, Ming Xu deliberately wanted to tease him.

In the evening, I ate homemade small hot pot. Mama Yang cooked a lot of dishes, which looked very appetizing.Yang Shiqing took two photos and sent them to Ming Xu on WeChat, but they didn't match the words, so the subtext was: Hee hee, I'm just greedy for you.

Unexpectedly, Ming Xu then posted a photo, it was a pot of hearty vegetable soup, with corn, carrots, pork ribs, seaweed, eggs... Ah, it looks delicious QAQ

On the contrary, Yang Shiqing, who was greedy, sent him an emoji package of "Excuse me, goodbye", and Mingxu then replied: "Wait for my call at night."

Want another video?Yang Shiqing took a bite of the meatball, feeling a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

I went out at night and walked around the street with my mother for a few laps, came back to wash the dishes and take a shower, and then returned to the bedroom, leaving the desk untied, just playing with the phone.

Playing for three hours, it wasn't until Yang Shiqing was so bored that he hugged the quilt that he was about to fall asleep that Mingxu suddenly sent a message: Here we come.

It made Yang Shiqing a little nervous for a while.

Yang's mother broke in at this moment, and the next second Mingxu's video invitation was sent, Yang Shiqing subconsciously hid the phone behind her back, stood up: "Mom—"

Mother Yang frowned: "Are you playing with your phone again? Who are you chatting with?"

Yang Shiqing groaned, the notification sound of the video invitation on the mobile phone was too obvious.I had no choice but to find my mobile phone in a hurry, and answered the call with a dry smile: "Yes—Ming Xu."

Yang's mother breathed a sigh of relief: "This child." Then she took a few steps and closed the window: "It's eleven o'clock, don't talk too late, go to bed early. It's quite cold today, so let's turn on the air conditioner and sleep. That's it, I'm going back to bed first."

Yang Shiqing nodded hastily, and Mother Yang took her out the door.Yang Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief, and went to look for the remote control of the air conditioner.

"Auntie is gone?" Ming Xu's voice came from the phone.

"Well," Yang Shiqing went back to the bed and picked up the phone after finishing everything, and found that Ming Xu was already lying on the bed wrapped in a quilt on the other side of the screen.

Yang Shiqing was speechless: "You asked me to wait for your call, and you fell asleep by yourself."

"No, I just want to chat with you before going to bed."

"What are you talking about?"

"Talk..." Mingxu recalled Yang Shiqing's words in the morning, and turned around, "Let's talk about something flirty."

Yang Shiqing was taken aback for a moment, then his face was on fire, and it took him a long time to spit out a word: "...Damn!"

Ming Xu chuckled: "Just kidding."

Yang Shiqing moved the phone away, pinched his temples with his fingers, and his ears began to heat up.

"You're still working hard! Bah, bah, I want to stay away from you."

"Are you willing?" Ming Xu smiled even more happily, "Okay, you can lie down too, and sleep after talking."

Yang Shiqing struggled for a while, and finally lay down obediently and wrapped himself up with a duvet, revealing a rough forehead and a pair of eyes, and finally put on the earphones.

"What did you do today?"

"I... ate an eggplant at noon, and wrote some questions in the afternoon." Yang Shiqing said, "The efficiency at home is really low, and I can't concentrate... Actually, I kind of want to go back to school."

Mingxu was a little surprised: "This is really not like Yang Shiqing."

"Now Yang Shiqing is a good boy, loves to study, loves English, loves the party and the people~"

Mingxu just laughed, and Yang Shiqing asked, "What about you? Are you... busy lately?"

Mingxu hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "...a little bit, I'm quite tired."

Yang Shiqing comforted him: "It's okay, just be tired for a while, and when the college entrance examination is done, the score will be lowered."

Ming Xu paused, then smiled.

"Ah."

Mingxu didn't speak any more, and Yang Shiqing was also silent.The two just quietly looked at each other's faces on the screen, and Yang Shiqing suddenly felt a little lonely.

Obviously very close, but it feels very far away.

I really want to celebrate the New Year with Mingxu.

It was twelve o'clock, and Yang Shiqing smiled and said to the screen: "Happy New Year's Eve!"

Mingxu was already a little sleepy, but infected by Yang Shiqing's happiness, he put his phone beside the bed, and stretched out his hand to show his heart to him.

"Happy New Year's Eve, Yang Shiqing."

Mingxu Bixin's smile was a little silly, but Yang Shiqing took a screenshot seriously.

At this moment, although he was ashamed to speak, Yang Shiqing had to admit that he missed Mingxu a little bit.
