High School Chronicle So You Are Here

"How can I come back after taking you to the city?" The Liu family stayed at home more and more lazily, and didn't want to move.

"Don't worry, I'll be back in two or three days. The city is very lively now, come with me."

As he was thinking, his mother came up to him wiping her hands in an apron.

"Jingqi, can you see Xiaotian when you go back?"

"Almost, what's the matter, Auntie?"

"I made dumplings, please bring some to Xiaotian. Meat and fish are not rare in the city. There is nothing good at home during the Chinese New Year. The dumpling stuffing is our own pigs, and the sandwo radish buns grown by ourselves. of."

"Okay, I'll take some away and let Brother Tian try something new." Curly smiled secretly.

"What kind of dumplings to bring? The trouble of soup and water will be bumpy and smashed in the city." Liu Jialuo was a little impatient.

"What do you know, brat." Mother Zhu slapped her son across the face. "This is etiquette. My dumplings are all dried, so they won't be damaged if they are packed properly. Besides, it's fine to store them for four or five days in cold weather."

"Auntie, you're right, go and pack it, I'll wait with Jialuo." Curly winked at the irritable guy next to him.

The car started, and Dad Liu also came out coughing.

"It's cold outside, Uncle, go in with Auntie."

Father Liu shook the leather jacket and thought about it. "If it's convenient, bring that kid over for a sit-down, the family can afford to entertain with fish and meat."

"Okay, no problem."

Liu Jiachen opened the big iron gate, and the car drove out towards the road at the head of the village.

"Luozi, hold the jar properly so that I don't break it." Zhu's mother shouted while standing at the door of the house, waving her hand.

In the middle of the year, all the shops in the township market were closed.There was no one on the street, and the car passed through smoothly and went straight to the county seat.

"Miss him?" Curly asked suddenly as he lit a cigarette for himself.

Liu Jialuo was in a daze, he raised his eyelids. "Think about it."

The car drove to the county town, and the county town was a different scene, the shops were decorated with lights and people were bustling with people, it was very lively.

"I want to get out of the car, you find a place to stop." Someone said while holding the window.

Curly has been sitting in the car smoking, he looked at the tightly packed cans on the seat next to him, and couldn't help laughing.If Liu's parents knew the true relationship between their son and Yuan Tian, ​​would they still be so enthusiastic?To be honest, I often feel guilty in my heart, for Baozi and Baozi's parents.But every time he saw the sweat and blood that his boss had put in for this absurd love, he couldn't help but be shaken.He was vacillating on what position he wanted to stand on now, whether to persuade him to make peace or to persuade him to leave.

After a while Liu Jialuo came back panting heavily, holding a lot of things in his arms.Curly was a little surprised.He saw candles, firecrackers, Spring Festival couplets and a lot of wrapped things that seemed to be eaten.

"What are you doing, Baozi? It's almost the end of the year and you still buy new year's goods."

"I want to buy it when I see it."

"Where did you get the money?"

"New Year's money."

"You're still shopping for New Year's money." Curly laughed.

"Smile, hurry up and drive."

The car drove away from the county seat and onto the Outer Ring Road leading to the urban area.

"I have to go home to take the buns for two days. You see, why don't you go back with me, anyway, you know my sister."

"No, you send me to Jinghe community. Call me when you leave."

"Okay." Curly thought for a while and nodded.

The car drove into the community and drove downstairs.Curly helped carry a bunch of things that Liu Jialuo bought upstairs.

He took out the key and opened the door, facing the warm but deserted room, and even a layer of dust on the ground.

"Boss doesn't seem to be back." Curly touched his nose.I sent a text message before I came here, but why didn't this guy do anything.It seems that I have worked hard in vain and acted as a matchmaker.

"It doesn't matter whether love comes or not."

"Then what about the dumplings you brought?"

"I'll eat it myself." Liu Jialuo pushed him out. "You go, remember to call me when you return to our village."

"Call me if you need anything, bye." Curly waved and went downstairs.

Take a bunch of things to the coffee table in the small living room and look around.The corners of the living room are covered with dust, the sofa and the kitchen are still as they were when we left.Even though the heat sink was emitting heat continuously, even though it was a hundred times warmer here than at home, he still felt cold, cold to the bone.

It was a little past three in the afternoon, and he got out the rag and mop and started cleaning the house.The kitchen was even dirtier, and there was a large piece of white skin falling off the wall on the burning appliance.He looked up and saw that the top corner of the kitchen had leaked for some reason, and it fell from above.Now the water is still dripping, and the ground has soaked a lot.He had to take a plastic basin to catch it first, and use a mop to clean the ground.

Tossing and turning at night and unable to sleep, Liu Jialuo always ran to the toilet, but couldn't pee.He scolded himself for being sick, washed his face in the middle of the night, wrapped himself in a quilt and sat on the sofa watching TV.It was one o'clock in the morning, and I was a little hungry. I ran to the kitchen and brought out the dumplings made by my mother on a plate.I stared blankly, the dumplings were wrapped very finely one by one.He wanted to boil some water, but when he looked up at the cold security door, he lost his appetite.

The TV screen in front of him became more and more blurred. He watched the TV for a while, then looked at the plate of dumplings, and finally closed his eyes.Tossed and fell asleep in the middle of the night.In my sleep, I seemed to have turned into a koala, and then hugged a big tree tightly.The big tree has thick branches and towering green leaves, and it still stands still when the wind blows.He used all his strength to hug tightly and refused to let go.

The sun had already risen high, and Liu Jialuo was still hugging the big tree and muttering.The strong wind is coming again, hold me tight, don't blow me away.

He woke up suddenly, rubbed his eyes, and hugged a pillow in his arms.Turning over and looking out the window is a good day for the sun.The rare daylight is a bit dazzling.He propped himself up and sat up, originally sleeping on the bed in the bedroom.I seemed to be watching TV last night, and it seemed that I ran back to the bedroom in a daze.

He got dressed and went to the bathroom slowly to wash up.Mouth full of foam, staring at myself in the mirror, sloppy and listless.

No, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and ran back to the bedroom with a toothbrush in hand, the bedroom was the same as yesterday.Going to the living room again, the plate of dumplings on the tea table was gone.Could it be that he ate it in a daze last night?He touched his belly and it was still deflated.

With no memory at all, he went back to the bathroom and continued brushing his teeth.After rinsing his mouth, he slapped his head and ran to the door.Open the anti-theft door, there is no one at the door, just a deserted corridor.

Sighing, he looked up and saw the Spring Festival couplets and door gods that had been pasted on the door.I bought this in the county seat yesterday, and I went back to my room to recall it carefully.He was sure he didn't eat the plate of dumplings, but the dumplings really disappeared.He knelt down and stirred the brain cells desperately, the memory was still empty.Could it be that a ghost came in the middle of the night?

He got up and went to the kitchen, looked up, there was a new patch of cement on the roof, and white paint.If it is not newly painted, it will almost blend with the surrounding walls when it is opened.He laughed, here comes the bastard.Come and go like a ghost.

On the third day back, I made an appointment with Curly to pick him up after lunch and come back to the village.He stayed up all night for two consecutive nights, but he never saw the ghost come back.During the day, he was not in good spirits, and Liu Jialuo sat on the sofa and clutched his stomach, but he didn't want to go out to eat.

I thought he would just go back lonely and lonely like this, but there was an unexpected harvest.At lunch time, an old lady in a cheongsam with white curls came over to deliver food, which was dumplings.Yuan Tian's grandma, that kind and joking old lady smiled at him through the security door.

Liu Jialuo hurriedly welcomed the person in and looked outside.

"Don't worry, there is no one else, I sneaked here by myself." The old grandma walked into the living room and said while looking around the house.His tone was still the same soft as before, and his expression was still kind.

"I brought you dumplings for lunch. But I didn't expect the road to be a bit congested, and I came late." The old woman sat down and opened two steel lunch boxes and a green military tank.

"I've eaten." Liu Jialuo walked over and sat down a little nervously.

But the belly betrayed him immediately.

"Cuckoo."

Grandma laughed when she heard the cry, it was still the crisp and sweet voice.

"Little Baozi has changed, he can lie and lie to grandma."

"No, I, I..." Liu Jialuo explained.But he did lie, and he didn't say anything after explaining for a long time.

"Let's eat then. Let's eat the dumplings first. I just made them this morning. The winter melon pork ribs soup may be a bit cold, so I'll warm it up." The old woman stood up and went to the kitchen with the kettle in her arms.

Looking at the steaming dumplings and the steaming pork rib soup, Liu Jialuo couldn't swallow it with chopsticks.

"Grandma won't force you, eat less."

He nodded and ate six or seven dumplings.Those eyes were still staring at him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat another four or five.

"Come have some rib soup."

The soup bowl was delivered to him, Liu Jialuo took it and wanted to talk.

"No hurry, we'll talk after we drink." Grandma Yuan Tian was very calm.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse, there's no way to avoid it, Liu Jialuo picked it up and drank a big bowl of soup.The old grandma nodded and took the dishes and soup bowls to the kitchen, and then heard the sound of water flowing inside and scrubbing inside.

He looked at the watch on the wall, fortunately, there was still more than an hour before the time agreed with Curly.

Finally finished eating and clearing up, the two sat down facing each other.Before speaking, the old man sighed, his eyes lost the brilliance of just entering the door.

"Xiaotian's grandfather suffered a cerebral infarction not long after you left. The operation is done but the situation is not optimistic. The doctor said that he still needs to see the follow-up observation. How should I put it, it is not a surprise when people reach their age. Our young At that time, I saw a lot of things about the ups and downs, and said with a pat on the chest that there is nothing to be afraid of now."

Liu Jialuo nodded, and the hale and hearty old general with gray hair appeared in his mind.

"Our family is actually four children. Yuan Tian's father is the youngest. Besides the two older sisters, he also has an older brother whom he has never met. At that time, I was taking on the task from above, and the work intensity was high and the environment was not good. If I didn't pay attention, the child was not kept It was the nurse who told me it was a boy, but I went back to work a week after the miscarriage. So when I was pregnant with Yuan Tian’s father, I paid special attention to it. The doctor said that I am an advanced mother and it is not recommended to give birth, but I I want to leave a descendant for their Yuan family, otherwise I won’t have the face to see their ancestors when I die.”

Grandma Yuan Tian brushed her hair from her ears and smiled, recalling the past as if it was yesterday. "I'm so strong, I originally asked for a natural delivery, but at that time the sudden hemorrhage temporarily changed to a caesarean section. Yuan Tian's father didn't get it easily, so my grandfather and I were a little spoiled. We were too busy with work, and we really couldn't tell the difference. He was taken care of by his relatives in the countryside. Later, when the child grew up and behaved willfully, the old man and I turned a blind eye. It was Grandpa Yuan Tian who decided to marry him to Yuan Tian’s mother. My mother is the child of an old comrade-in-arms of ours. The comrade-in-arms was injured and returned to the village to recuperate. The two old men forced this couple together. But at that time they were considered talented and beautiful, and even young people could chat. Xiaotian was five years old. At that time, Yuan Tian's mother was seriously ill, and we brought her younger sister from the countryside to take care of her without thinking too much. Who knew that young people just couldn't control themselves, so what happened just happened."

Liu Jialuo listened quietly.The protagonist of this story is not Yuan Tian, ​​but every sentence is like a knife depicting Yuan Tian's weird character today.

The old woman stood up and poured water for both of them. "Little Baozi, it doesn't bother you to hear grandma say these things."

Liu Jialuo shook his head. "I'm willing to listen."

"Xiaotian's mother has been ill for almost a year. At that time, Yuan Tian was more than six years old and sensible. This kid is as sensitive and suspicious as his mother, and he is very worried. He was the one who accidentally leaked the scandal about his father and aunt. Xiaotian Mother Tian's illness had little hope of being cured, but at least it could be delayed for another year or so. She found out that the matter was not resolved, and her condition took a turn for the worse. Two months later, she passed away. So he hates him Dad hated his aunt, and hated himself. The year his mother died, the good boy became very rebellious, crazy like a wolf cub, and no one could deal with him. Finally, his dad sent him to a comrade-in-arms He was fostered there until he graduated from junior high school. After so many years, his mother's death was a knot in his heart. He hated his father and aunt for betraying his mother, and hated us for turning a blind eye to it. But it was a done deal at that time Aunt Xiaotian was also pregnant. His grandfather insisted on killing the child and kicking Yuan Tian’s father out. At that time, the two young people made mistakes because of ignorance. It was pitiful to be scolded and beaten by the parents of both sides. Just protect them, and when the child is born, their marriage will be fulfilled."
