Riceless cooking

[leave]

Xu Wanqing was a flower in Huancheng 16 years ago.In this small city with a population of no more than 50, life is laid-back, and social circles almost overlap. Xu Wanqing was a popular school-age young woman at the time, and she had to participate in blind dates three times a week.But at that time, she still had a girlish feeling of "looking at you more in the sea of ​​people", and she hated blind dates.

Later, Zhou Yunzhi came to Huancheng from the neighboring provincial capital to teach. The university was a high school student. Xu Wanqing's fabric shop was opened near the university. Every day, the tall and thin Zhou Yunzhi could be seen pushing a bicycle out of school, avoiding After the flow of people, he raised his long legs and stepped into the car. The wind blew his white shirt. He was like a tall and straight tree that could move. He rode past the door of Xu Wanqing's store, but he was implanted in her heart.

Xu Wanqing, whose family had a lot of wealth, later got together with a poor teacher. Zhou Yunzhi was young, and later became a professor. He was very respected and was invited to a key university. down.However, Xu Wanqing inherited the family business, several teahouses and restaurants including cloth shop, but because she and Zhou Yunzhi were not good at doing business, they sold off one after another.

They have two sons, the elder brother is called Zhou, and the younger is Zhou Wang. Zhou Yunzhi hopes that their eyes will always be high, and they will not be tired and lazy. Huancheng.

His only long-cherished wish is that Xu Wanqing's cooking skills can improve a bit, or that she will stop being so keen on cooking.

Apparently his two sons thought so too.

"Mom, I don't want to bring a boxed lunch to school today." Zhou Wang stirred the porridge in front of him with chopsticks. Of course, it was brought back by his father from the porridge shop downstairs.

"What are you talking about, you don't go home at noon today, what are you eating at school!"

"Isn't there a restaurant at the gate of the school? No matter how bad it is, the school also has a cafeteria."

"The things outside are not as clean as the house, you..."

"Forget it, Mom. I have a make-up class at noon. I'll take Xiaowang to eat at school. The cafeteria is quite clean."

Xu Wanqing only made a boxed lunch, and she didn't have time to make it for Zhou, so she agreed with her mouth pursed: "Little bastards." Then she turned her head and said to Zhou Yunzhi: "Then you take the boxed lunch to school, your cafeteria Isn't there a microwave oven, just turn it around, well, although I mixed a cold dish in it, it doesn't matter."

Zhou Yunzhi wore a pair of glasses that slid to the bridge of his nose, and was trying to lower his presence while drinking porridge. At this moment, he choked on a gulp, and the glasses slid directly to the tip of his nose.

Zhou Liao and Zhou Wang held back their laughter at the same time.

Zhou Wang couldn't go home at noon today because he wanted to attend the chorus rehearsal for the graduation ceremony.

At this time, Zhou Le and Zhou Wang are both approaching graduation. Fortunately, both of them usually have top grades, and Zhou Le even participated in a semester of special training. After doing everything, they can relax in the countdown.

A stepped platform has been set up on the campus of the attached primary school, and the entire sixth grade took turns to take graduation photos, and the playground was noisy.

Zhou Liao sat by the window, leaning his elbows on the table, staring at the little kids running across the playground across the wall, and was rarely distracted, trying to find out where his younger brother was jumping.

Then he saw Zhou Wang, who was wearing a vest and trousers, coming down from the steps. He looked like he had just finished his graduation photo. Instead of taking pictures with other students, he turned around and walked away. earphone.

Zhou Le was wondering why this misfit kid was going, the teacher suddenly asked him to stand up to answer the question, and when Zhou Le went to the playground again, Zhou Wang was no longer in sight.

Zhou Wang ran to the back wall of the school alone.

This wall is like a scenic spot in all elementary schools. It is occupied by all kinds of crooked words and symbols, such as "XXX likes XX", which is fresh and simple, and there are also restricted levels such as "XX and XXX kissed". Zhou Wangdi The first time I came here, I found three of my own names on it, followed by pink hearts drawn with crayons or a string of sentences copied from romance novels.

He felt surprised, surprised that he was held on the head by his father and was not allowed to skip a grade, and he stayed in this mentally handicapped elementary school for six years.

But now he can sit down on a clean grass and listen to his rock music full of "fuck" and "rape".

After this summer vacation, he will be able to enter the middle school next door, but his brother will leave there to go to the city's No. [-] middle school to study in high school. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.

He stood up and turned around, and found an open space on the densely packed wall, with his hands in his trouser pockets, the music in his ears made him feel inexplicably noisy, so he had to take off the earplugs.

The chirping of cicadas and distant noisy human voices suddenly became clear, and Zhou Wang felt a strange sense of embarrassment. In fact, very few things would embarrass him.There were a few pieces of chalk thrown down on the grass, and he bent down to pick one up, and then wrote two names on the wall.

"Wai Zhou Zhou Wang"

He looked at these two names that were so similar, disassembled by a certain word with a beautiful meaning, and suddenly felt an indescribable overflowing emotion. He was only 12 years old, and at that time he felt that his brother was Zhou. That's great.

Most of the students didn't go home at noon, and they had to stay to rehearse the chorus for the last time. Zhou Wang stepped on the rehearsal stage built by the table and stood in the last row of the ladder queue.

He is actually a sound idiot, he opened his mouth impatiently and only lip-synced. The music teacher thought his expression was stiff and not energetic at all.

When he mouth-shaped to the "Sea Wave Cactus", he saw Zhou Liao standing outside the classroom, looking at him with a smile on his chin.

It's great that that person is my brother.He thought so again.

================================================== ===============

A week later, the two brothers of the Zhou family completed their entrance exams respectively. In order to celebrate their official graduation, Xu Wanqing proposed that the whole family go on a trip. As a side benefit, she would not prepare any lunch boxes or snacks for this purpose.

A family of four registered at a travel agency, but found that they were divided into two buses on the day of departure. Most of the other tourists were a family of three or couples. Xu Wanqing felt that she would not worry about taking care of her with Zhou Yunzhi and her two and a half eldest sons. , So she pulled Zhou Yun onto the bus ahead.

This trip they went to an ancient city with inconvenient transportation. The tourism industry had just been developed, so the road they could walk was also a very long winding mountain road, and the only direct means of access was by car.

Zhou Yao and Zhou Wang got in the car and chose a seat near the front. My brother was prone to motion sickness, so he had to fall asleep as soon as possible after sitting down, otherwise he would have a bad ride.Zhou Wang asked him to sit by the window, and took out his MP3 to listen to music.

The morning sun was slightly dew outside the window, and the sun just slanted into the car window after driving on the national highway.It was still early at this time, and the whole carriage was a little sleepy, so it was very quiet.

This should have been a normal trip.Zhou Wang thought that he would spend this summer with his brother, parents, and the frightening temperature in the morning, in that remote but clean ancient city,

Then the bus went around a few tricky curves, and the more dazzling sunlight flashed between the panes, Zhou Wang's eyes were stung unexpectedly, he raised his hand, and while blocking the light that turned his palm red, Between his fingers, he saw the bus that Xu Wanqing and Zhou Yunzhi were sitting on, which had already driven to the opposite cliff.

The small tin box held tightly between Zhou Wang's fingers raised its tail lightly when turning a sharp bend. Like a creature dragged by its bulky tail, it flung out of the national road uncontrollably and flew into the air. Get up, then slam into the steep mountain wall, and disappear from Zhou Wang's field of vision.

He forgot to breathe, and he was getting closer and closer in that empty mountain road.

Zhou Yao woke up almost at the same time, he instinctively grabbed Zhou Wang's hand, his heart beating non-stop.

Zhou Wang didn't respond, like cutting a stake.

"Xiao Wang." He shouted, anxious in his heart, and his mouth was inexplicably bitter, but his younger brother still ignored him. He raised his hand, only to find that he was shaking non-stop.

"Xiao Wang." He turned Zhou Wang's face, and then he was terrified by the face in front of him, he had never been so panicked before.

Zhou Wang's face was full of tears, and he shed tears all over his face in a few seconds.

The bus slowed down and stopped on the slightly wider side of the road.The driver also seemed to realize that something was wrong, followed by the passengers. They screamed in panic, but none of them cried. Their family and friends were all around, only the two brothers were separated.

Zhou Wang suddenly stood up from his seat, the car hadn't stopped, he stumbled to the door, the driver seemed to remember that his parents were in front, but the boy in front of him seemed terrified, he hesitated open the door.

Zhou Yao felt his legs were weak, so he walked behind the driver and grabbed his collar. He was obviously weak all over, but he lifted the middle-aged man out of the seat.

"Open the door."

Zhou Wang was in a state of confusion, and he rushed out quickly after the door opened.It was a week, after all, I didn't see the accident with my own eyes, and I still had a trace of sobriety, so I followed closely.

There is the whistling of the wind in my ears, and the slow air that lingers among the mountains is flowing rapidly because of the aftershocks of this tragedy.

Zhou Wang barely stopped on the edge of the cliff, his whole body was almost in the air, Zhou Yao rushed up and hugged him tightly.

"Ahhh...Mom—Dad—"

The immature vocal cords were torn apart, and the echo was bounced off the tall, irresistible, and cold mountain wall, and it took a long time to rest.
