Dip in fire

The next day, old man Zhang was buried.

According to Zhang Weilan this time, Old Man Zhang's funeral was very simple, and there was not even a mourning hall.

Zhang Weilan said: "Don't torment him. I locked him in the house when he was alive, and don't lock him in the coffin when he is gone."

Just like that, old man Zhang buried himself in peace and left completely, leaving nothing behind.When people die, their lights go out, and their bones turn into ashes.

Zhang Weilan said that Xiao Huan was annoying to cry, so Xiao Huan carried her brother behind her back and cried silently under the quilt in the room.In the hot summer, she cried all over her body with prickly heat.

"Child" is a wonderful thing. For example, her awareness of life and death is still superficial, and others coax her, and all kinds of sayings that replace "death" are also very pleasant, as if she went to the sky and became a star.

She was shrewd, but she didn't believe it.But maybe because of this, she will not be sad from morning to night.

But the bad thing is that the stars are too far away to be picked, and "death" is equal to "can't reach again", which can't even be cheated, so her longing will become very deep again, so that once she thinks, To cry hoarsely.

But the stars are beautiful.She doesn't cry over pretty things all the time.

Yan Huiwan poured prickly heat powder on Xiao Huan for a few days, and the prickly heat was healed, no pain or itchiness, and she gradually stopped crying.

Zhang Weilan is more mature than before.Perhaps it was more open-minded, when Lu Qingqing and Zhang Zhiqiang left, he shut himself in the room and suffocated, but this time he didn't.

He accepted everything, and with that torrential rain, his emotions seemed to empty.

Life still has to go on.

After the admission notice, Zhong Ning was admitted to the best university in the city.

Zhong Pei and Yan Huiwan took the notice and read it several times, and they were naturally happy.Zhong Ning was not too happy.He stared at the imprint on the notice with complicated emotions.

Zhang Weilan missed one subject and had to repeat it for a year.Because Xiao Huan is still young, Zhang Weilan still won't go far, and will still apply to this university next year.

Zhang Weilan is a thoughtful person who knew what Zhong Ning was thinking, so he took the initiative to speak first: "It's okay, just wait for me for a year."

Zhong Ning nodded and looked at Zhang Weilan seriously: "Yes, I know."

This summer after the college entrance examination, the vacation dragged on for a long, long time.This is a parting summer.

The three years of being classmates will come to an end this summer.For this group of people, the word "classmate" has changed from continuous tense to past tense.

Qiu Liang did well in the exam, and based on his grades, he applied for a university in the south.Yang Jian's plan to go abroad has also been finalized, and Qing is waiting for a ticket to fly across the Pacific Ocean.

Zhong Ning also met Gao Ying once.Gao Ying has rarely appeared since the last time he pissed people off.At most, let's meet at school and say hello to each other.

Zhong Ning heard that she did well in the exam, it seems that she went to a university in a neighboring province.

The last time Zhong Ning and her met was at Huaxing's gate.Zhong Ning was not surprised that Gao Ying took the initiative to talk to him, and Zhang Weilan gave up the exam to repeat a subject. This incident caused a lot of trouble in the city, and everyone in Huaxing knew about it.

Sure enough, Gao Ying was directed at Zhang Weilan, she asked Zhong Ning: "I can't ask Zhang Weilan directly, so many things happened to him...I just want to know, is he okay?"

"He's fine." Zhong Ning smiled, "I'll be with him."

Gao Ying was silent for a moment, before hesitating to speak: "Then he likes..."

Zhong Ning was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The person he likes will also accompany him."

Gao Ying paused, let out a breath, and simply smiled generously: "It seems that we are not destined."

Zhong Ning didn't speak.

They said "goodbye", Zhong Ning waited at the school gate for Zhang Weilan to come out of the boss's office, Gao Ying turned and left.

Maybe in our youth, there will be those who are close and far away.Let him follow this summer to those figures who have been secretly watching.

Time will settle the sour secret love and make the thin wings full.Over time, memories will be boiled into a jar of old wine and buried in the land of time.Later, I may think of it by chance, dig it out and taste it, and talk and laugh happily; or simply forget about it, let it be silent, and rot into the ground.

Before the start of the university term, a few teenagers organized a party. There was no special program, just going to a barbecue stand for a meal.Because last time they were all drunk, this time they didn't order wine.

Anyway, they are all brothers, even if they are separated, they are still brothers.

At the dinner table, Yang Jian pointed Jiang Shan with a string of mutton skewers: "Hey, yes, do you know that Xu Huai is coming back?"

"Xu Huai?" Zhong Ning was stunned for a moment, "Did he tell you?"

"No." Yang Jian was happy, "I'll ask him. He's crazy, and he said he was going to come back straight away to give us a fright."

Zhong Ning was a little surprised: "He actually applied to the university here."

"Surprise." Yang Jian finally ate the mutton skewers, and he said as he gnawed, "I thought his parents couldn't let him come back."

"Maybe it's because I was admitted to university, so don't worry too much about it." Qiu Liang continued, "That's my family. Since I was admitted to university, I feel that the whole person is free, and I don't need to report when I go out to eat barbecue with you... ..”

"Hi..." Yang Jian glanced at Zhang Weilan, who was slowly eating a grilled sausage.

Yang Jian's face couldn't bear anything, Zhong Ning could tell at a glance that he was feeling sorry for Zhang Weilan.Zhong Ning knew that Yang Jian's mouth couldn't spit out anything, seeing Yang Jian's face wrinkle more and more, Zhong Ning stuffed Yang Jian with a bunch of chicken wings.

Zhong Ning: "Eat yours, and stare at my elder brother Wei Lan."

Zhang Weilan silently glanced at Zhong Ning: "..."

"Ouch!" Yang Jian paused, and immediately asked, "Return your elder brother Wei Lan?"

Yang Jian's mouth is really cheap, he can't spit out good bones, and when Shang catcher fell ill, he waited for him to continue talking nonsense: "What's the matter, Young Master Ning, he is brother Weilan, you are brother pink?"

"Fuck you, uncle." Zhong Ning kicked Yang Jian casually, and scolded with a smile, "I'm Pink, do you have an opinion?"

"No, no, no." Yang Jian clicked his tongue, "Come, come, little pink from brother Weilan's house, have a drink."

As he spoke, he opened a bottle of bubbling Sprite for Zhong Ning and stuffed it in, the bubbles gave Zhong Ning a hand.

"Hey..." Zhong Ning stared at Yang Jian.Zhang Weilan at the side pulled out two pieces of paper and stuffed them into Zhong Ning's hands.

"It's over, you guys are probably drunk, right? I don't want wine here either." Qiu Liang laughed softly.

Yang Jian patted the table: "What is it called? No wine is intoxicating, people are intoxicated."

Qiu Liang laughed immediately.After Yang Jian finished speaking, she laughed too.

Zhong Ning also lowered his head and smiled.He raised his eyes and saw Zhang Weilan's dark eyes.The corners of Zhang Weilan's mouth moved slightly, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

Zhong Ning secretly grabbed Zhang Weilan's hand under the table, and he leaned into Zhang Weilan's ear and said, "I know you are unhappy."

Zhang Weilan met Zhong Ning's gaze, shook his head lightly, and this time he said in Zhong Ning's ear, "It's good to have you."

Zhong Ning turned his eyes to stare at the coals under the grill again.Black, red, light star, Mars.The heat rushed to his face.

There is no wine, but there is fire, and the fire will roast the sorrow of parting, and the people will be drunk.

"What are you two whispering?" Yang Jian clicked his tongue and protested, "No, come on, I have to touch a drink."

The four teenagers held up the Sprite jars and went together.

Yang Jian: "Should I say something?"

Zhong Ning thought for a while, then held Sprite high: "Respect brother."

He glanced at Zhang Weilan quickly, and said, "Regard that we are together."

The four of them did it with their heads up, filled their stomachs with carbonated bubbles, and hiccupped.

That night, they each got sweaty at the barbecue booth, and their arms were bitten by mosquitoes.

The old days are gone, and the new year is about to roll out.

The university is not far or close to home, and it is definitely not possible to go back and forth on foot, but Zhong Ning takes the bus, and he will be home in four to ten minutes.

Even though he lived on campus when he was in college, Zhong Ning also ran home a lot.On average, including weekends, he goes home at least three or four days a week.

Zhong Pei and Yan Huiwan both felt surprised when he kept running home. That day, Yan Huiwan asked him: "Why do you always go home? Is it easy to catch the bus to school early in the morning? Why is the young man still in love with home? "

Of course Zhong Ning went home because he wanted to see Zhang Weilan, but he couldn't say it clearly.Just watched his eyeballs whirling around, talking nonsense: "The wooden beds at school are too hard, making it uncomfortable to sleep on."

After finishing speaking, he smiled: "I'm going to find Zhang Weilan."

Then he ran away with a kick. He led Da Duozi, hugged Xiao Huan in the courtyard, and entered Zhang Weilan's house.

Yan Huiwan had nothing to do with him, and muttered: "Isn't the house also a wooden bed?"

In fact, the old lady hoped that Zhong Ning would come back home. At her age, every day she watched, she lost every day, and every day she watched made money.I just feel sorry for my grandson.After pondering for a while, she went to the house and packed a thick mattress and tied it up, asking Zhong Ning to take it to school the next day.

But Zhong Pei, the more he thought about it, the weirder he became.She stared at Zhang Weilan's window and frowned, thinking, "Why does this kid run to Wei Lan's place first every time he comes back?"

However, Zhong Pei has a lot of things to do every day, one person supports the whole family, and he is extremely busy with work, so he doesn't have much time to think about it, it's strange that it will pass in a while.

Zhang Weilan hasn't come home yet.After Zhong Ning went to college, Zhong Pei bought him a mobile phone. Seeing that Zhang Weilan was not at home, he called someone.

Zhang Weilan is looking for a new part-time job recently, and often goes home late.Today I said I went for an interview, and I will be back later.

Zhong Ning rang the phone, but Zhang Weilan was not there, he was idle.Xiao Huan squatted in front of him, meeting Da Duozi's eyes.

This girl will really become a scumbag in the future.After the summer, both he and Zhang Weilan grew taller, but Xiaohuan didn't grow at all.

Although a little girl doesn't have to be big and tall, being short is another matter.

Zhong Ning clicked his tongue, and asked Xiao Huan: "Your brother gave you a pack of milk every day, did you drink it?"

Xiao Huan turned her eyes to look at Zhong Ning, nodded: "Drink it, drink it every day."

As she said that, she grinned and complained softly: "My brother won't allow sugar, it doesn't taste good at all."

Zhong Ning: "..."

The bangs on Xiao Huan's forehead grew long, which made her small face even smaller, especially her pair of big black eyes, which looked horrifying, and Zhong Ning couldn't help but twitch her mouth.

"Come here." Zhong Ning waved to Xiaohuan.

Xiao Huan quickly stood up and jumped to Zhong Ning.

Zhong Ning threw Xiao Huan's bangs together: "Your curtain is too long, you look like a ghost."

"Then I'll go and cut it." Xiao Huan said, went to get a pair of scissors and came back.

Zhong Ning was stunned when he saw it: "You cut it yourself? Why don't you go to the barber shop?"

Xiao Huan said with a straight face: "It's not worthwhile to go to the barber shop to cut bangs. It takes a few seconds to cut, and it costs me five yuan. It's enough to buy two bags of milk."

Zhong Ning: "..."

He thought to himself: "This girl is only so big, why is she buttoned and swished?"

Then he thought again, Xiao Huan's brother is Zhang Weilan, so it doesn't seem strange to grow up like this.

While Zhong Ning was thinking about it, Xiao Huan had already walked to the mirror and raised the scissors. Zhong Ning immediately wrinkled his face when he saw her underdeveloped little paw.

Zhong Ning pulled Xiao Huan's scissors: "Don't do it yourself."

……

Half an hour later, when Zhang Weilan came home, she was stunned by the door for a few seconds.

He saw a ridiculous scene.

A large bowl was tapped on Xiao Huan's head, Zhong Ning took a pair of scissors, and fiddled with them to and fro, they couldn't cut off two tufts of hair for a long time.

Zhang Weilan was silent for a moment, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"You're back." Zhong Ning blinked, then glanced at Xiao Huan, and told the truth, "I'm cutting Xiao Huan's bangs."

Zhong Ning said with a troubled face, and tapped the bowl on Xiao Huan's head: "This thing doesn't work at all."

Xiao Huan tilted her head and blinked her big eyes.

Zhang Weilan: "..."

He really didn't understand how this big and young couple could do such a thing.
