like a sunny day

Early in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Chengze accompanied his grandmother to a certain Buddhist temple in the town to offer incense. He is already a 1.7-meter-five boy, and his eyebrows have grown. They are clear and pure eyes, but he is always thinking deeply, so The whole temperament is cold again.

The Buddhist temple is on the mountainside. A cable car was built just the year before last to facilitate tourists and pilgrims. However, there are still devout believers like Grandma Gu Chengze who go up the mountain step by step to pay respects.

Grandma sat down to rest when she climbed halfway, talking about how she was half-blind and came to climb the mountain, and she was not afraid to climb to the bottom of the mountain.

Gu Chengze was carrying a basket, which contained high-quality incense and candles that his grandmother had prepared years ago.He pinched his grandmother's leg and suggested, "Shall we change to the cable car?"

"Chengcheng can't walk anymore?" Grandma raised her hand to touch his brow, "Children, why are you always so sullen? You're always unhappy. Life is short, just kick your legs and close your eyes." , I’m not happy anymore, thank you.”

Gu Chengze shook his head: "I'm not unhappy."

"Are you having a fight with Chengfeng?" Grandma lowered her head and asked him.

Gu Chengze remained silent.

Grandma looked at Yuan Shan and said: "When you were young, you were so small. Sometimes you stood under the window and talked, but that part couldn't reach the window. I just looked out. Where are these two little devils playing? Only the voice can be heard Can't see the shadow. You see, after so many years, you came here in the blink of an eye? Time has passed so fast, grandma still can't remember your appearance and you have changed your appearance again. "

The old man couldn't resist the memories, Gu Chengze saw that she was very proud of what she said, so he continued to listen without interrupting: "Maybe you can't remember, the summer you just came here, once your mother made a mistake , I took you to shave your head on a whim, the green and tender scalp, and those big black eyes with teardrops rolling down, grandma remembers it!"

When Gu Chengze thought about it, he thought it was true.

"You were unhappy because you were hiding at home with your bald head for many days. Cheng Feng came here to catch butterflies for you. After knowing that you were still unhappy, he asked me later, how did you make Cheng Cheng happy? I told him, probably he also Let’s shave your head together. That’s what the old lady said, and the next day he really came with a round head! Shaving his head three times—grandma knocked on his head three times, and he imitated his example and hit your head hard I also knocked three times, do you still remember? You later complained to Grandma..."

The grandma's memory was so clear, Gu Chengze naturally remembered it, and he knocked it back very hard, and He Chengfeng grinned in pain.He suddenly felt sad in his heart, he felt that He Chengfeng had been outside the mountains surrounded by clouds and mist, and he could see where he was standing at a glance, but he really raised his feet to chase, but felt that the distance was not getting any closer.

Think about the day of the New Year's Eve dinner, four people sat together.Of the two little ghosts, one enthusiastically greeted them with food and drinks, and served dishes courteously, while the other with a dull face only answered the words of the elders.

Needless to say, the stiff-faced one knew it was Gu Chengze.

Grandma said with an "hey": "If you talk too much, it's because grandma is nagging. Cheng Feng treats you well, and his mother takes care of us a lot on weekdays. If there are any conflicts, can't we understand with a cold face on the face? It's true that your mother gave them money, but who can do it as carefully as your aunt? Even if you hire a babysitter, the money is not enough."

"In this world, the debt of favor is the hardest to repay, my child." After finishing speaking, he patted his trouser legs and stood up again, walking to the Buddhist temple, "You are still young and love to be horny, grandma doesn't want you to worry too much about people and things... ..."

There are many pilgrims in the early morning.

The ancient temple is majestic and simple, and the cool air on the mountain wraps this centuries-old temple in it.The fog was very heavy, like milk mixed with water being poured into the mountains, and it solidified in an instant, covering the mountains; looking at the big Buddha in the main hall, his eyes were compassionate, and there was an inscrutable smile on the corner of his mouth, looking down with the mundane.

It is said that there are 32 Buddha statues, but in Gu Chengze's heart, they are all compassionate, solemn and scrutinized without exception.

Grandma offered incense respectfully, still chanting the same "good health, academic success and all the best".Gu Chengze looked around at the respectful pilgrims around him, bowed in a dignified way, and said in his heart: "Buddha, bless He Chengfeng and me to be well."

He was like a coughing child who was warned by his parents not to eat biscuits, and then secretly ate them. Before his grandma found out, he quickly got up, looked around with his hands behind his back, and saw an acquaintance running towards him.

Gu Chengze has a big head.

"It's really you! I thought who looked so much like you! Because you don't seem like someone who would kneel down and pray to Buddha!"

Gu Chengze deliberately wanted to fill the speaker's mouth with incense.

Grandma had already got up and asked with a smile who this was.

"Grandma, hello, I'm Gu Chengze's deskmate, and my name is Zhang Bao."

Grandma: "Oh boy, you are polite. Where are your parents?"

Zhang Bao pointed back: "There, I'm waiting for the monk here to arrange a room."

"You live here?" Gu Chengze finally responded.

Zhang Bao was distressed: "Yeah, I was picked up by my dad last year, saying that he wanted to eat fast and pray to Buddha, and begged the Buddha to bless his business. Grandma smiled and nodded: "It's rare that you have such a heart at such a young age. "

Zhang Bao smiled bitterly: "No, I was forced to

However, grandma and Gu Chengze didn't have time to accompany Zhang Bao and continue to stand and listen to his bitterness.Zhang Bao insisted on taking them all the way to the gate of the Buddhist temple, and stood there bawlingly watching them go down the mountain.Since Gu Chengze met Zhang Bao, the weight of the little local tyrant has never been out of "obesity". Seeing him wheezing and wheezing hard, Gu Chengze sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "If you are bored, just read a book, the days will pass quickly .”

Zhang Bao was very moved, he felt that Gu Chengze was really caring, he had already considered that he would be bored here, so he kindly offered advice and cared about his study.

Zhang Bao is "holding his hands and looking at teary eyes", while Gu Chengze is "waving his sleeves without taking a cloud away".After walking a few steps, the morning bell rang, deep and loud.Gu Chengze's heart was shocked, and he thought of the sentence "Wake up the famous and wealthy people in the world, and bring back the charming dream of the sea of ​​suffering." He intuitively felt that the bell was a warning to what he wanted in his heart, saying: "That's something that people who shouldn't think about it shouldn't think about it." , it’s time to turn around and be the shore.”

But where is the shore?

Isn't He Chengfeng his "shore"?

With the stubbornness and resistance unique to that age, Gu Chengze accompanied his grandmother down the mountain.

When he finally went to the same school as He Chengfeng, he found that He Chengfeng had really changed a lot, and he even had a little girlfriend.

They maintain an indescribable tacit understanding, still eat together, and occasionally go to school together, but they are no longer as close as before.The barrier seems to be a city wall erected overnight, indestructible and without trace.

No one can tell when it started, maybe He Chengfeng drove him back that night out of concern for face, maybe it started when Lin Xiang said that sentence, maybe it was because they gradually ceased to meet each other and walked farther and farther.

The plums are ripe, the raindrops have fallen, and it is the rainy season of the year again. Sitting on the big boss chair, Wang Yan sent Gu Chengze a WeChat message: "Remember to turn on the dehumidifier."

After a long time, Gu Chengze replied: "It was moved out two days ago."

In wet weather, Gu Chengze paid special attention to preventing the intrusion of moisture. During that time, the work at hand could be compressed as much as possible, and he was able to complete it with higher efficiency than usual, but this meant that he was under more pressure.

Some time ago, secretary Xiao Li brought this new employee application for him to review. He flipped through it slowly, his eyes resting on a name, and said to Xiao Li: "Do you know which department accepts his application?"

Xiao Li's eyes fell on the name Gu Chengze pointed to: "The production department said this can be used."

Gu Chengze pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said yes.

Xiao Li went out with the stack of applications in his arms, and took out the paper when he got to his place. He Chengfeng's name was written on it. The photo showed a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose bridge, and a slight smile on his mouth.

The resume is very ordinary, but it is also very rich. It seems that I have touched all 36 lines; but it lags behind other job seekers in terms of education and work experience.

Xiao Li didn't understand why Mr. Gu cared about this person.

The production department she mentioned is the front line of the workshop. The simplest physical work may be operating the machine or mixing raw materials. No matter which one it is, it is not an easy job.

Xiao Li rolled his eyes, thinking, what if this person is special.So I contacted the personnel department with a landline and explained something.

He Chengfeng didn't go to school before graduating from vocational high school, because He's mother was going to have an operation.

It was the first semester of the third year of vocational high school, and the school organized a trip. He Chengfeng didn't take part in saving money, and he went home without telling his mother.

Mother He was in the bathroom, and He Chengfeng didn't make a sound. He entered the room and poured water to drink first. When he turned around, he saw a bunch of keys on the table with a piece of paper under it.

Mother He should be ready to go out, because there is a handbag next to the key.

He Chengfeng read what was written on the paper while drinking water.He glanced at it, and his face became serious, his eyes wished to stare out two holes in the paper.

The above is a physical examination report, diagnosis: gastric tumor, it is recommended to remove.

He Chengfeng was shocked and unbelievable as if struck by lightning, his mother is a hero who is invulnerable to all diseases in his heart, how could he be asked to undergo surgery?He staggered back two steps and bumped into the table, and a piece of the bottles and cans on it fell down.

The bathroom door opened, and it was Mother He's voice, as usual: "Chengfeng? You didn't say anything when you came back. I thought the house was burglarized."

He Chengfeng's face was full of sadness, his eyes were red and he asked: "Mom, how long has it been, how can you hide it from me."

A penny can beat a hero, let alone such a woman who gritted her teeth and supported a family without saying a word. She took a child by herself, lived in a shabby small house, ate bad vegetables, fried peanuts, and a boiled egg. She is reluctant to eat, she does not want her family to know that she is not doing well, she does not want her son to know that behind the hard life there is a body riddled with holes, she cannot break down, what will her son do if she breaks down?As a mother, you are strong, as long as you have a breath in your heart, no matter how weak your body is, no matter how difficult life is, you can rely on one breath to gather together into a shaft to support your son's life of shelter from wind and rain.

Studying requires money, daily food and clothing require money, occasional interpersonal communication requires money, and surgery is a lot of money, which can be delayed for a while.

If it can't be dragged on, it won't get better, that's life.

The mother and son occupy both sides of the small room, the curtains are half drawn, and only a foot of sunlight is stingy.The two people standing in the shadows did not speak, each had its own discomfort.

Gu Chengze saw this scene when he came in.

He never thought that He Chengfeng would come back, he thought he had gone on a school trip with his little girlfriend.

He thought that because they had only spoken a few words when they met for dinner for a while.
