hate farewell thirteen

On the last day of the Yisi year, every household had already made preparations for the New Year. Song Shuman got up early and hurried downstairs to see her father sitting in the living room reading a newspaper.

Song Shuman sat on the chair beside her father, "Father, my daughter wants to discuss something with you."

"Go ahead."

"My daughter has a friend, and her parents are not around. She has been alone for a long time. I think it will be more lively if she comes to our house to celebrate the New Year with her this year."

"What should I do? Let her come with me."

Song Shuman was happy, she got up and gave her father a hug, "Thank you, father!"

Song Hongsheng thought she was greasy and crooked, and the corner of his mouth couldn't hide his smile, "How old is she?"

Song Shuman and Uncle Li confessed, "Uncle Li, this year I will bring a friend back to celebrate the New Year together, please prepare a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"Even if the lady doesn't tell you to bring it back temporarily, this pair of bowls and chopsticks is still affordable."

"Then Uncle Li, I'll go out first."

When they arrived at Zhou Ru's house, Zhou Ru and Ning Shu were pasting the Spring Festival couplets. Zhou Ru was putting up banners on a bench, and Ning Shu was holding the boiled rice paste underneath, holding the chair.

Song Shuman took the rice flour in Ning Shu's hand, put the index finger of his left hand in front of his lips, Ning Shu pointed Song Shuman to the empty wall in front of her room, and said softly: "I'll leave it to you, It should be better posted."

Zhou Ru made a careful comparison, and Song Shuman suddenly said, "A little further to the left."

Zhou Ru looked back, "Why are you here? You scared me, where is Shen Tao?"

"Sister Ning Shu has gone back to her room, I'll help you up."

"Is it correct?"

"A little bit to the right, okay, just right."

Song Shuman raised the rice paste in his hand, Zhou Ru took a brush and brushed it on the back of the banner, pasted the left side and then pasted the right half, smoothed it with his hands, leaving no air bubbles, smooth and correct.

Zhou Ru put Song Shuman's hand down, and she moved the chair to the next door, "Ning Shu's room hasn't been posted yet."

Zhou Ru was about to climb up the stool, Song Shuman took her hand, "Let me come, I'm taller, so I can fit in easily."

"Then be careful."

Song Shuman was posting Spring Festival couplets while chatting with Zhou Ru, "Sister, come home with me this year for the holidays."

"Go back with you, and leave Ning Shu alone? You can figure it out."

"When I was thinking about it, I only thought about you, and I forgot about Sister Ning Shu alone. But I have already said hello to my family, otherwise, let Sister Ning Shu come with us to add a pair of chopsticks."

"I'll go back with you, at least you're still here, which can relieve some embarrassment. What about Ning Shu? I don't know each other. If the elders ask this and that, how can she be at ease?"

"Shuman, I'm used to celebrating the New Year even if I'm alone, not to mention there are so many people in my neighborhood, so naturally it won't be boring."

The door of the room was opened from the inside, and Ning Shu listened to it for an indefinite amount of time, with a look of resentment, "Who said I was alone, Zhou Ru, you have to go quickly, don't delay me. If you don't go, I won't be able to spend the year with you at home this year either. I can feel more at ease when you go to Song's house, lest you curse me in your heart and leave you alone for New Year's Eve. "

"Whose house are you going to? The food is all bought and prepared, and I never heard you mention it."

"I have to tell you everything? I was worried about leaving you alone, but now I don't need it. Naturally, I have to tell you."

Song Shuman posted the Spring Festival couplets and said, "Sister, Sister Ning Shu has already said so, so you can come with me, okay?"

"Then I have to change my clothes. Last time I went to your house, I said I was your classmate. Now, I want to look like a student."

Song Shuman stood outside the door and waited, and when Zhou Ru was ready to change, she went downstairs and walked a short distance. Zhou Ru asked her, "Is the window closed? Is the door closed?"

"It's all closed, and the windows are pasted with blessing characters and cut flowers, so they are naturally closed."

"Is it bad for me to go empty-handed?"

"Then I'll buy some fruit, and we'll carry it up together. I just say that I'm a classmate, and since I'm a classmate, I don't need to bring any expensive gifts, as long as I'm satisfied."

Song Shuman accompanied Zhou Ru to pick some fruits. Song Shuman tried to pay for her sister, but Zhou Ru refused, "I went to your house, and I didn't buy any decent gifts. If you don't let me Pay and I won't go."

"You can go without a gift, so why bother with it."

"The rules set by the ancestors must not be lost and forgotten."

Song Shuman was afraid that her sister would keep talking until dark, "Then sister, go and pay quickly, I won't argue with you."

After buying some fruit, on the way home, Zhou Ru stopped again, turned her head and said to Song Shuman, "After thinking about it, I still feel something is wrong. Where can she go in Ningshu? We are both strangers, and we live in this city. How can there be any relatives and friends to rely on? She is probably alone at home right now."

Song Shuman held Zhou Ru's hand, "Sister."

"Go back and take a look, just a look, if she's not here, we'll come back, okay?"

Song Shuman did as she wanted, if she disagreed at this time, her sister's heart would always be there.

Ning Shu's door was closed, Zhou Ru knocked several times, but there was no answer, and he was not in the room.

"Really not here? Then where can she go?"

"Sister, Sister Ning Shu said that she has a place to go. If she is not here, she will naturally go to another place. Sister Tao must have her own sense of proportion. She can't leave herself alone."

"Sister, let's go."

Zhou Ru stopped still, and Song Shuman asked her: "Sister, you have heard that it is not right to go to my house for the holiday all day long, is it too embarrassing for you, if you don't say it in your heart, I am also bored .”

Zhou Ru held Song Shuman's hand with a little more strength, and his hand tightened with his heart, "I'm very panicked and scared. Last time I went to your house, I only saw the housekeeper come down." Man, I haven't seen your family."

"I'm not a lady from a great family. There will always be inappropriate things in what I do and what I say. I'm afraid of revealing my secrets and not pleasing your father."

"It's okay, my father is not a difficult person, besides, it's just a meal together."

"Shuman, it would be great if everything was simple on the surface, but I can't. It's like you took me home and didn't dare to reveal my identity, whether it's the pipa girl in the theater or your beloved sweetheart, You dare not say a single one. Neither do I."

"Zhou Ru, I just didn't find a suitable opportunity. If I found one, I would definitely tell."

Zhou Ru's tears were hanging in her eyes, she lowered her head and wiped them away, then looked up at her, and smiled slightly, "Today is a good day, I say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. Let's go."

At the New Year's Eve dinner that night, Song Shuman kept picking up vegetables for Zhou Ru, but Zhou Ru always kept his head down and ate from his own bowl.If I had known, she would be in her own room with Shen Tao, although the food is far inferior to that here, it is still more comfortable.

At that time, what was Zhou Ru's identity, pretending to be a classmate from the same school.She also thought, if she was still the young lady of that family, would she be able to straighten her back at the dinner and not avoid her eyes?

Father greeted Zhou Ru: "Do you still have the habit of eating? It's the first time I come here. I don't know what you like to eat. If there is something you like, you can eat it. You are welcome. Shuman said that you are alone. If you want to, treat this place as your own." Make it your own home."

"Thank you Uncle Song for your concern, they are all delicious."

"By the way, it can't always be called Shuman. What's your name?"

"Li Qisheng. Qi is Qi next to the word Wang, and life is the life of growth."

"Beautiful jade grows, what a good name."

Song Shuman had never heard Zhou Ru say this name before, she only knew Shengsheng, maybe it was her former name.After eating, Song Shuman took Zhou Ru back to the room, "My sister's name used to be nice too."

Zhou Ru shook his head, "Jade has no roots, and is doomed to wander and live alone. It's better to change it, so as not to get the name."

"It's just that I should have that name long ago." Zhou Ru said in a low voice.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's just a name. If you don't like it, we won't read it."

The bell rang, fireworks exploded outside, lighting up the night for a moment, the sound of firecrackers, saying goodbye to the old year, and the new year is coming.

Zhou Ru leaned against Song Shuman and fell asleep, and was confused by the sound of firecrackers and opened her eyes, only to hear Song Shuman leaning against her ear and saying: "Happy New Year."

Wearing new clothes on the first day of the first lunar month, Song Shuman got ready early. Zhou Ru had breakfast and wanted to go back to her little house. Not used to it."

"Then I'll take it to you."

After sending it to the door, Zhou Ru said to Song Shuman: "Go back quickly, I don't have anything to take care of. It's always good for you to spend more time with your father and brother when you go back."

"Know it."

Song Shuman walked downstairs and realized that something was left behind for Zhou Ru, so she turned back and was about to knock on the door, but found that the door was not closed. Song Shuman was at the door and heard Shen Tao's voice inside.

"I heard from Chen Ningshu that you went to that Song Shuman's house to celebrate the New Year yesterday."

"……Yes."

"Chen Ningshu is called by the name of Shuxiang, but his brain is not very bright. I think you really fooled yourself by staying with her."

"Then what benefits can Song Shuman give you? You know, even if you are a man, or she is a daughter, it is impossible for you. Not to mention, you are all daughters."

"Aside from those things, do you think she can be serious with you? It's just to see that you are stupid, that you are easy to deceive, and that it's just for fun."

Zhou Ru's voice was choked, Song Shuman wondered if her eyes were red, she had only seen her sister's eyes red, she had never seen those tears fall down.

"I know, I know what you said, how could I not know."

"Family background, knowledge, even gender, which one is suitable?"

"I also know that there will be no results, but what should I do? I really want to walk with her for this period of time. I know there will be no results, but I just want to walk this journey with her."

"There is no cure."

When Shen Tao came out, she met Song Shuman's gaze, and she patted her chest, "Why are you standing here, you scared me to death."

Shen Tao was extremely reluctant, and glared at Song Shuman, "The door is reserved for you, go in by yourself."

Song Shuman walked into the room, Zhou Ru turned his back to her, maybe he didn't wipe off his tears, so he didn't dare to turn his head to see her.

Song Shuman didn't speak, just stood behind her and waited for her. When she wanted to see herself, she would naturally turn around.

When Zhou Ru got up and walked in front of her, she had already adjusted her state, and her voice didn't shake, "Why are you back?"

Song Shuman took out a sandalwood box from her bag and handed it to Zhou Ru, "New Year's gift, open it and have a look."

Zhou Ru opened the box, the lotus root pink bracelet looked precious.Zhou Ru looked at Song Shuman, "This is?"

"This is the jade bracelet my mother wore during her lifetime, and it's for you."

"I can't take it."

"Zhou Ru, I am serious about you from the beginning to the end. In front of me, no one has family background, status, knowledge and gender. Those are not important. You are the most important thing to me."

"We are equal. You love me, I love you, because of love, we are equal. We must say that we are not equal, and I have always admired you."

"Zhou Ru, you are my gift."
