waiting in time

When Kang Ning was young, his mother Zhang Ailian said that Kang Ning must have been a monkey in his previous life, otherwise he would not be able to sit still for a while, either playing this or that, running here or somewhere, after a while If you can't see it, you will cause trouble.When Kang Ning was 5 years old, his grandparents passed away one after another. When his grandfather and two sons divided the property, his family took the house in the old city, and his second uncle took the old house of his grandparents. After the property transfer procedures were completed, he Dad took him and his mother to Bachelor Lane.His house happened to be opposite to Li Yue's.

When he first arrived, Kang Ning still felt unfamiliar and dared not go out, but within a few days, he became acquainted with the children in this alley. At your house?" If not, find the next one, and when his mother finds him, Kang Ning has already eaten at someone else's house and is playing, so his mother can't drag him back.

Kang Ning was not familiar with Li Yue at first, and he didn't like to play with Li Yue. Li Yue was 5 years old, the same age as Kang Ning. .Kang Ning is lively and active, with lively eyebrows and eyes, and a round face with baby fat.Li Yue's mother enrolled him in a painting class, a calligraphy class and a piano class, so he was often seen in the alleys. Li Yue's mother, who was well-dressed, beautiful and dignified, took Li Yue with her in high heels, taking one study class after another. , or in that mysterious courtyard with dense vegetation, singing birds and fragrant flowers, and closed doors, playing the piano that Corning could not understand, practicing calligraphy, and painting.

Kang Ning and Li Yue are like two worlds. Kang Ning is like a weed in the field, full of vitality, and Li Yue is like a peony in a greenhouse, elegant and generous. Even though they live door to door, they rarely communicate with each other.

At the age of 5, Kang Ning went to kindergarten and walked into the gate of the kindergarten. Kang Ning said to his mother Zhang Ailian very chicly, "Mom, goodbye, you can go back." Kindergarten, afraid of Kang Ning crying, did not expect his son waved his sleeves, and walked away, making Zhang Ailian a little sad.Zhang Ailian has no job. After marrying her husband Kang Dong, she has been taking care of the children at home. Kang Dong works on the construction site and is outside all year round. The two have been married for 5 years and they only have one child, Kang Ning.

When Kang Ning entered kindergarten, it was like a fish entering the ocean. Several children in Bachelor Alley were also in the same class as Kang Ning. Kang Ning still led his little brothers to play wildly and frantically.Kang Ning didn't expect Li Yue to be here, wearing clean and tidy clothes, chattering around him, but Li Yue remained silent.Kang Ning looked down on Li Yue in his heart, boys should play with boys, how could he let the little girls surround him, but he also had a sour taste in his heart, why didn't the pretty little girls look for him.

The acquaintance between Kang Ning and Li Yue stems from a fight.Li Yue's schoolbag always has many novel and beautiful picture albums, comic books, and many model toys. Lin Yanfei has always been greedy for the things in Li Yue's schoolbag.One day, while Li Yue was not in the classroom, Lin Yanfei secretly opened Li Yue's schoolbag. He didn't want to be in a hurry, but the model inside fell out of the schoolbag and broke into pieces. Broke it, walked up directly, pushed Lin Yanfei away, "Why did you break my toy?"

"I didn't." Lin Yanfei became anxious, and also pushed Li Yue.The two children pushed and shoved, "You moved my model first." Li Yue pushed hard, and Lin Yanfei fell to the ground, crying loudly. Kang Ning ran in to find Lin Yanfei, and saw Lin Yanfei crying on the ground , got impatient, walked up and kicked Li Yue, Li Yue was frightened by Lin Yanfei's crying, didn't notice, felt the pain, only to realize that Kang Ning kicked himself, "Why did you kick me?" Li Yue He raised his foot and kicked them, the two children started fighting, and Kang Ning grabbed Li Yue's hair and pulled it hard. Everyone looked at each other fiercely and didn't let go.Lin Yanfei was frightened and cried louder. When the kindergarten teacher heard the cry of the child, she rushed in and coaxed the two children to separate.

Kang Ning didn't let go, grabbed Li Yue's hair and said, "If he doesn't let go, I won't let go either."

"If he doesn't let me go, I won't let him go," Li Yue said.

"Let me go, both of you." The teacher came up and forcibly pulled the two children away. One teacher hugged a child. The moment Kang Ning and Li Yue were hugged by the teacher, they burst into tears.

This matter was known by Zhang Ailian, and she dragged Kang Ning to apologize to Li Yue's mother. It was the first time Kang Ning entered this courtyard with sparse flowers and trees. There are pots of flowers blooming lushly, with green leaves, pink, white and red flowers blooming in the middle, a few bees and butterflies are flying on it, a vine is planted in the corner, and the leaves of the grapes are blooming, forming a shades of green.Zhang Ailian was dumbfounded, this is a wealthy family who knows how to live.

Li Yue's mother, Feng Qin, stood in front of the room door to welcome Zhang Ailian. Li Yue's mother was not very beautiful, but she had an elegant temperament and a gentle expression. It could be seen that she was a very cultivated lady.She held Li Yue by the hand, and Li Yue stood beside his mother, looking at Kang Ning angrily, but Kang Ning didn't pay attention to Li Yue, all his attention was attracted by this yard, and he always wanted to let go of his mother's hand and run away He went to the yard to play happily, but Zhang Ailian held his hand tightly to prevent him from running away.

"Hello, I'm Li Yue's mother." Feng Qin said with a smile, "My Li Yue made trouble in the kindergarten and hit Kang Ning. I'm really sorry."

"Where, my Kang Ning is ignorant, so I brought him here today to apologize to Li Yue"

"It's okay, it's not a big deal for children to play and fight." Feng Qin said with a smile, "Come in and sit down." Feng Qin let Kang Ning and her son into the room.

"Li Yue, take Kang Ning to your room to play," Feng Qin said.

Li Yue reluctantly walked to Kang Ning and said, "Mom asked me to play with you"

"Okay, I want to see your album," Kang Ning said happily.

"I don't want to show you my album," Li Yue said

"Why don't you let me see your picture album? I also have a lot of picture albums at home. There are elephants, tigers, and lions in them. Lions are very big and eat small animals. I don't like lions," Corning said.

"I also have lions in my picture album. I like lions. My father said that lions are kings, kings of many animals. I want to be a king when I grow up," Li Yue said proudly.

"I like dogs. There used to be a dog in my grandpa's house. He was very cute."

"I want to see the dog," Li Yue said.

"Dogs are at my grandpa's house. I don't have them. My mother doesn't like dogs, but I do."

"Oh" Li Yue was a little disappointed.

"Let's go see your little rabbit together," Kang Ning said, rolling his eyes.

"Okay, come with me." Li Yue took Kang Ning's hand and wanted to leave. He turned to Feng Qin and said obediently, "Mom, I will play with Kang Ning for a while, and I will go to practice piano later."

"You don't need to practice the piano today, you and Kang Ning have fun," Feng Qin said softly, her son is quiet, and she hopes that his son can be more lively.

"Mom, I'm going to play." Li Yue happily ran out with Kang Ning.

"I was still fighting yesterday, but today we played together," Zhang Ailian said as she watched the two children run out.

"How can children hold grudges?" Feng Qin said lightly.

Since then, Kang Ning has become a frequent visitor to this yard. He often comes to the yard to watch rabbits with Li Yue, play hide-and-seek in the garden with sparse flowers and trees, play marbles on the cleaned bluestone floor, and occasionally take the leaves of flowers secretly. Picking a few pieces and chewing them in his mouth, Li Yue looked at him with contempt and said solemnly, "The leaves on the flowers are not edible."

"how do you know"

"I knew it," Li Yue said maturely, at such a young age, he suddenly felt like an adult, and felt that Kang Ning was very naive. He imitated his mother Feng Qin's tone, and said lightly, "You are so naive."

"You are naive." Kang Ning spit out the flowers and leaves in his mouth and ran away. Li Yue chased after them, and the two ran around in the yard affectionately.

After finishing kindergarten, the two of them went to a local primary school. Li Yue's household registration was in a primary school, so he went in directly.

When Kang Ning's father was in elementary school in Kang Ning, he came back and threw 2 yuan to his mother. His mother jumped up in shock, thinking that his father had robbed somewhere. His father said flatly, he wrapped a small Engineering, earned.Only then did his mother accept it with peace of mind and put it away.At that time, it was a great thing for an ordinary commoner family to have a savings deposit of tens of thousands of yuan. The Kangning family became a ten thousand yuan household early on, and the family gradually became prosperous. When Kangning was in high school, the Kangning family had become a well-known local rich and powerful.But at that time, Kang Ning didn't understand these things. In the nagging words of his mother, he vaguely understood that his father found an official from the Municipal Education Bureau and spent some money to send him to a primary school. He didn't understand It's hard to get into this school, and I don't know if the school is good or bad. As long as I can stay with Li Yue, Lin Yanfei, Zhang Kai, Liu Yang and other friends, it doesn't matter where I am.As a result, only he, Li Yue and Lin Yanfei came in, and the other friends went to study in another school. For this reason, Kang Ning even quarreled with his father several times, asking his father to transfer all his friends to a primary school. Dad said no, Kang Ning had no choice but luckily, after going to school, he met him in the alley and played together, and Kang Ning gradually stopped fighting with his dad.

Going to elementary school, Kang Ning still loves to play, lively and playful, pass notes to classmates in class, make appointments where to play in the afternoon, get out of class is over,

They ran out in a swarm, but no one could be found.Li Yue was sitting in the classroom and heard Kang Ning shouting "Li Yue, Li Yue, come out quickly" in the yard

"Forget it, don't call Li Yue, let's go quickly," Lin Yanfei said impatiently.

"You wait, I'll go up and call him." Kang Ning quickly ran into the classroom, took Li Yue's hand, and was about to leave, "Hurry up, you are the only one left."

"what to do"

"Two boys in the third grade started fighting, and many people were watching, so we went too," Kang Ning said.

"Oh." Li Yue lacked interest and didn't want to go out, "What's so interesting about that?"

"A person is from Bachelor Lane, how could he not go?" Kang Ning said indignantly.

"What does it have to do with you?" Li Yue said

"We're all from Bachelor Lane," Corning said.

"I'm not going, so don't you either. What's the point of making trouble, not to mention you haven't finished your homework yet," Li Yue said lightly.

"It's okay, just go back and copy it according to yours." Kang Ning said nonchalantly, "The other boy is from the Li Family Courtyard, how can the people from the Li Family Courtyard bully the people in Bachelor Lane?"

"You go, I'm going back," Li Yue said, turning around and walking back.

Kang Ning was about to pull Li Yue to follow him, when he saw Lin Yanfei coming up, "Why are you back?" Kang Ning asked.

"It's over." Lin Yanfei was a little disappointed, why he had already finished the fight before he went over.

"So fast"

"Two people were fighting, the teacher came and called them to the office," Lin Yanfei said. "Why don't you come down quickly, maybe we can rush to support it?"

"Support what, wait for the teacher to talk to you." Li Yue looked at Lin Yanfei and said.

"You're afraid of Teacher, don't go, you coward," Lin Yanfei retorted dissatisfiedly.

"I heard that the people from Xueshi Lane are planning to go to the Li family compound tonight, do you want to go?" Lin Yanfei suddenly whispered excitedly to Kang Ning.

"Who said that?"

"Liu Rui" Lin Yanfei said, "Liu Rui said that since the people from the Li Family Courtyard dare to beat the people from Bachelor Lane, if they don't fight back, they will be looked down upon by the people from the Li Family Courtyard."

"What time is tonight?" Corning asked.

"At 8 o'clock, meet at Liu Rui's house"

"Okay, I'll go find you tonight and kill those sons of bitches in the Li family compound." Kang Ning looked excited.

"Are you going?" Kang Ning turned around and asked Li Yue.

"I'm not going, the painting teacher is coming tonight," Li Yue said.

"Oh, well, I will go with Lin Yanfei." Kang Ning was a little unhappy, he hoped that Li Yue would go with him.

"That's it," Lin Yanfei said, clapping hands with Kang Ning as a promise.

At that time, Hong Kong movies were popular, and the big gangsters, younger brothers, and horse boys were all imitated and yearned for by children. Children were influenced by the gangster fighting plots on TV. If they disagreed with each other, they would use force to resolve it. It was very refreshing.The people in Xueshi Lane and the people in the Li Family Courtyard have no deep hatred. It is just an excuse for fighting in the mouth of the children, with a kind of local exclusivity and pride in their homeland.When Kang Ning grew up, thinking of that fight, he felt dumbfounded.

At 8:30 in the evening, Li Yue was reading a book. There were sliced ​​apples and a glass of boiling water on the table.The door opened, and Kang Ning walked in. Li Yue was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

Kang Ning Shuitou said despondently, "We all gathered at Liu Rui's house with sticks in hand, and we were going to clean up the gang of grandchildren in the Li family compound. Unexpectedly, the news of the fighting was known by the family members somehow, and they were taken back by them. "Kang Ning made an appointment with Lin Yanfei, and Lin Yanfei came to his house to look for him. At 7:30, Lin Yanfei came to Kang Ning with two well-proportioned firewood sticks. The two walked to Liu Rui's house enthusiastically, with the heroic feeling of a hero in a gangster movie. When they arrived, Liu Rui's family had already gathered more than a dozen children, about the same age as Kang Ning. The boys gathered together and talked excitedly about how to deal with the children in the Li family compound tonight.Suddenly Lin Yanfei's father came and immediately took Lin Yanfei away. Lin Yanfei struggled not to leave, but was slapped on the butt by his father, and obediently followed his father away, and the other children were also taken back by their parents.

"What about you, your mother didn't beat you?" Li Yue looked at Kang Ning's thin body and said.

"No, my mother doesn't know, she went to play mahjong." Kang Ning was a little thankful, fortunately his mother was not at home, otherwise he would not know how to deal with him.

"Everyone is gone. Lin Yanfei was taken away by his father. I don't feel like staying alone, so I came back." Kang Ning put the cut apple into his mouth, ate it, and said inarticulately, "There is no one at home." , I have no choice but to come to you, and I will sleep with you tonight." Kang Ning likes to sleep with Li Yue, it is lively, and the two of them can fight before going to bed.

"Okay," Li Yue said.

Kang Ning yawned and said "I'm so tired, I want to sleep"

"Have you finished your homework?" Li Yue asked.

"Isn't there no homework?" Kang Ning was confused, and suddenly he remembered that the Chinese teacher seemed to have assigned homework.

"Ah" Kang Ning felt annoyed, why would there be homework, he slowly took out the homework book from his schoolbag, "Bring your homework, I will copy it"

Li Yue took out his homework book, which was clean and tidy. Corning's homework book, the corners around the book were rolled up, half of the back cover was torn off, and the other half was about to fall off.Kang Ning didn't care about the quality of the homework, took out a pencil, and wrote according to Li Yue's homework stroke by stroke.

Li Yue took out his drawing book and began to draw.Two young teenagers are lying on the desk together, the picture is warm and beautiful.
