In the year of the college entrance examination, Shao Youguang failed.The so-called failure of the rankings is really plummeting, not even a vocational school or a technical school.It was only at this time that Zhao Fengqiu realized all kinds of bad behaviors of his son at school.In fact, many children in the textile mill area did not study, and were sent early to work as apprentices in auto repair shops or barber shops, or those with a little ambition went to big cities to work.

Zhao Fengqiu maintained her stubbornness and pungentness in this aspect. She used her excellent social skills to negotiate with the school about sending Shao Youguang into the senior three class to read again, and then blocked him at the door. Shao Youguang, tell him that if you don't read well, you don't have to enter the door again, and you don't show any mercy.

Shao Youguang did not resist, and obediently accepted Zhao Fengqiu's arrangement.Carrying the schoolbag on the back and stepping into the third class of senior high school on time in the new semester with the ringing of the morning reading bell.

By the way, he became Ji Jian's classmate.

As soon as Ji Jian arrived at the break, he came to him with staring eyes, walking around beside him as if in a dream.

"Why are you here?"

Shao Youguang deliberately concealed it from him, wanting to surprise him.At this time, he tilted the stool and shook it: "How about it, surprise, I'm here to be your classmate."

Repeaters were always arranged to sit in the last row. Shao Youguang didn't share the same table, and the whole table was his. He just sat in a morning reading class, and it was full of papers in a mess.

Ji Jian simply sat next to him and stretched out his hand unconsciously to help him sort out the scattered English vocabulary handouts by page number.

"Aunt Zhao came to my house last night and asked me to help you with your studies, but I didn't expect you to be in our class."

"My mother... hey, she's like this." Shao Youguang scratched his hair irritably, his hair was no longer so bald, and it became a neat cropped cut.

Ji Jian comforted him and said, "It's okay, Auntie cares about you."

"Forget it, this is what bothers me the most about my mother. I thought I was really surprised by you." Shao Youguang suddenly laughed again, and bumped Ji Jian's shoulder, "But you need to help me more, this is serious. Yes."

"What the hell are you... Auntie asked you to repeat, so you are willing."

"Of course I do, why don't I. Otherwise, what else can I do? Be an apprentice? Go to work? Then I won't be comfortable staying with you every day. Think about it, isn't it just right, which university do you want to go to when the time comes? Just find the worst school in that city, or a junior college if it doesn’t work. We can be together again.”

He also said last year that he was born here and grew up here, that they are not people of the same way, but now he says these things again.

"What are you together and not together? What are you thinking about every day?" Ji Jian sighed helplessly, and patted the organized vocabulary list on Shao Youguang's forehead.

"You should study hard before talking."

As he said that, he got up and wanted to go back to his seat, but Shao Youguang grabbed his wrist accurately, slid his fingers together, and said with a shake, "Do you want to be at the same table with me?"

This is actually a very common joke among boys, but Ji Jian pulled his hand back calmly and said, no.

The class bell just rang, Ji Jian turned and left, his fingers slightly curled into an arc.

But Shao Youguang was indeed very skilled. In just one week, the head teacher asked Ji Jian to go to the office and told him earnestly: "Since classmate Shao has come to our class, he is a part of us. Ji Jian, I see you and him You have a good relationship, and you are good at studying, do you want to be at the same table with him and help him?"

Although it was a question, it did not give him any reason to refuse.

So Ji Jian came to Shao Youguang's side with his fountain pen schoolbag and textbooks crackling.Their relationship has undergone a qualitative leap from neighbors to tablemates, from seeing each other on weekends after school to facing each other for more than half of the day, which made Ji Jian a little at a loss.To give an unsuitable example, it's like two people who have been in love for a long time suddenly live together, and there is always some embarrassment.

But Shao Youguang was very happy. He talked to Ji Jian with a heartless smile every day, copied his notes, forgot to bring his pen and textbook, or stumbled to answer questions when the teacher pointed him up.

"You're not bad at studying." Ji Jian didn't know how many times he asked him this.

He was a little surprised. He saw Shao Youguang doing the questions with his own eyes. He seemed to know a little bit about everything. His grades should not be that bad. Such an ugly score.

At this time, Shao Youguang stopped looking at him, and swiped the pen in his hand: "You just think I'm unlucky, or I'm in a daze."

When Ji Jian was thinking about him, Shao Youguang was also thinking about Ji Jian.

What exactly happened?He often just lay on the table and watched Ji Jian do the questions without raising his head.I can't help but miss the time when the two of them ran out to play carefree all day long.In fact, his thoughts turned quickly, and he always felt that the little neighbors began to alienate him at some point.But this alienation is not intentional, Ji Jian still treats him very well, and looks at him sincerely.But Shao Youguang always felt that something had changed, and he even asked Ji Jian if there was something on his mind.

What Ji Jian said at the time, he was teaching him to do a three-dimensional geometry problem, when he heard it, the tip of the pen he was writing paused for a moment, and said angrily, "My concern is you, you hurry up and write the wrong thing on this paper." Title changed.

Shao Youguang heard about the characters in TVB, saluted crookedly, and obeyed, sir.

In fact, he was always thinking about it in his heart, but he couldn't ask a serious question, what's wrong with you.He's not used to expressing concern in this way, even though he really does.

Shao Youguang's intuition was right, Ji Jian really had something on his mind, he was almost about to say it unpreparedly, my mind is you.

In the next spring, my uncle came to see Song Manzhi again, and this time, he gave Ji Jian another notebook.The green cover is reminiscent of a growing tree.

The branches and leaves of the tree spread out like tentacles, and when Ji Jian sat at the table in his yard again, his thoughts drifted away.

In fact, he seldom sat at this desk anymore. He became more and more busy studying, and he gradually had less time to write in his diary.This time it was because his uncle was talking to his mother, and Ji Jian knew that they didn't want him to hear, so he locked himself in the yard.

Spring is quite rascal, and the singing of the birds is too lingering.But a few words still flowed into his ears.

"How long has it been since he came back?"

"forgotten…"

"No letter either?"

"No... I wrote to the address he gave me, and there was no response..."

"Could it be that he has a new woman in Hong Kong? Now there are a lot of people who go to work in Hong Kong, marry wives and have children there. In the end, they found out that he has a home in mainland China and Hong Kong Island."

"... "

"What are you going to do now? Get him back?"

"I don't know...I really don't know." Song Manzhi seemed to be about to cry, her voice choked up.

"Hey." Ji Jian heard his uncle sigh heavily, and after a while he said again: "Let me help you find out, it's all right, don't cry."

In fact, Ji Jian knew that Song Manzhi often cried secretly.It's just that when crying, she tried her best to suppress her voice, she didn't want Ji Jian to hear it.No matter how sad she was, when she turned to face Ji Jian, she had a serious and gentle look, asking the same thing as usual - are you hungry?What do you want to eat today?Do you want some water?Go read.

But the eyes are still red and swollen.

So Ji Jian really never broke through her clumsy cover, he thought coldly and understandingly, this kind of persistence is the habitat of her spirit, if she breaks through, she might feel that life is worse than death.

Sitting in the yard, Ji Jian finally finished the mission of the last diary. He wrote on the last page: It seems that there is a kind of life pressing on the sky. Song Manzhi has reached it, but he has not yet, but one day, they will come. .

He spread out the new green one on the table, lying down bored for a while.When I looked up, I saw that the crabapple flowers remained the same year after year.

Shao Youguang's family was having dinner at this point, and they were making a lot of noise.Recently, Shao Youguang is really studying hard, and he doesn't come to him very often to go out and have fun.Ji Jian picked up the pen and finally wrote:

"The person I like is Shao Youguang."

He began to reach out to touch the pressed sky.
