like her

After receiving a call from his mother in the city, the little dirty boy suddenly began to have a very special obsession with Ruan Gai's previous talk about catching fish and shrimp in the river.Has been pestering Nguyen Gai to take her there.

She didn't tell Ruan Gai that she finally got a call from her mother.

And didn't tell anyone what my mother had said to her on the phone that day.

In October of this year in Linzhen, the sun is still shining brightly.

There are many people who are having fun in the streams and rivers.

Ruan Gai thought maybe it was because she saw that everyone else was going, so she became interested.But since she grew up in the city, is it really okay for her to go to the river to play?

Although the river in the town does not have a lot of water flow, accidents will still happen if it is not in frequent contact.

Nguyen Gai is worried about this.

So when she said to go before that, Ruan Gai always refused.

But I don't know why, but this time it came back again.

"You really want to go?"

"correct!"

"Why. It's actually not very fun."

When Ruan Gai was her age, her younger brother was not born yet, and she was the only child in the family.Her childhood life was relatively leisurely and happy.

There are friends who have fun together, and they walk around in groups every day, either picking up plastic bottles along the road, or picking up beer bottle caps at the entrance of restaurants; they can even pick up rusty places where new houses are being built but can be sold for money nails.

Of course, these things are done behind the back of adults.

Adults also have their own things to be busy with in order to live, and they cannot be with their children all the time. The children who grow up here are basically free-range.

Let them go out at dawn, and go home by themselves when it gets dark.

Often everyone's faces are flushed from the sun, and in order to avoid being scolded when they go home, they will go to the small river before going home.Washed off all the stains on my body, and even tried to wash away the sun marks.

Even though it looks lame.

But every time it works.

It's just that they don't know that adults who have been busy all day don't have the extra energy to worry about what they did that day.

You thought you were cheating, but in fact the other party didn't care.

Later, among the friends who played together, some of their families earned money, bought a house in the city, and did not live in the town; I don't know how to calmly face the surrounding environment.

Just like that, the feelings of daily contact faded away.

After the playing team broke up, Ruan Gai also secretly went to pick up bottles by himself.

But I can't find the feeling that everyone went to pick it up together.

So when she saw the little dirty boy picking up plastic bottles with a bag on the road that day, she felt as if she had seen the way she was before.

will be particularly distressed.

In the end, Ruan Gai couldn't bear her soft and hard feelings.

He promised to take her to the river to play on weekends, but the premise is that she can't go into the water and can only walk around the bank.

Seeing Ruan Gai let go, the little dirty boy nodded sharply.

"no problem!"

There is a very long river in the town.

It is formed by the convergence of all the creeks and rivers, all the way to the north.

Residents in the town call this river "Xiangbei River". On weekdays, residents in the town near this river rely on this river for washing and washing vegetables, and for all places that need water for daily life.

When Ruan Gai was young, he used to swim in the river with his friends.

The sky is blue and the water is clear.

The friends who played together laughed happily.

It is in childhood memory.

Without any impurities.

Since her friends cut off contact one after another, she never returned to the old place.

Although that river is the lifeblood of the water and soil in Lin Town.

Before leaving to go to the Beihe River on the weekend, Ruan Gai thought about it and told Lao Mo and the others that he wanted to take the little dirty boy to play by the river.If the adults don't agree, no matter how much the little dirty boy tosses, she won't take it with her.

But when Lao Mo heard about it, he was overjoyed: "Yes, why not?"

Ruan Gai was stunned for a moment: "Don't you feel unsafe?"

In Ruan Gai's memory, it seems that whether it is the adults in her family or the parents living nearby, they are particularly disgusted with the riverside where the children in the family like to play in summer.

Lao Mo said with a smile: "If a child goes alone, he will definitely be worried. But with an adult to take care of him, it is not impossible to go for a walk and play."

"grown ups……"

"Old Mo, are you talking about me?"

Lao Mo gave her a very trusting look, "In front of me, of course you are a child, but in front of Du Qing, you are her little adult. The kind who can take care of her."

The corner of Ruan Gai's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

It was the first time I heard people talk about her like that.

After getting Lao Mo's affirmation, Ruan Gai set off with the little dirty boy.

The little dirty boy was very excited all the way, pulling Ruan Gai's trousers and talking nonsense.

At the end, the little dirty boy suddenly fell silent.

Ruan Gai looked at her, feeling puzzled.

Why did you stop talking all of a sudden.

After a while, she slowly raised her head and looked at Ruan Gai's profile.

"Gai Gai, do you think I can stay here forever? With your company, I can grow up happily as an adult."

Ruan Gai paused.

In the past few days, Ruan Gai has always felt that something is wrong with her.It seemed like he wanted to say something to himself, but he refused to speak.

Until she asked this sentence, Ruan Gai had a bottom line in his heart.

"But what you need more is your true family's company and contribution to you. And, the environment and conditions needed to realize your dreams."

"Here, you can't find it."

After Ruan Gai finished speaking, the little dirty boy cried "Wow".

"You don't want me, Gaga."

"No." Ruan Gai shook his head.

"It is you who must move forward to realize your own dreams. Do things that make you happy."

The little dirty boy broke down in tears: "No, I have no dreams. I don't have any happy things. I just want you to be by my side."

"That's what I'm happiest about."

Deep in the little dirty boy's memory, she actually knew why she was sent to learn dancing.

Not because she inherently knew what she wanted to like.

But because-

Her parents are too busy.

There is no time to take care of her at all.

Sometimes even parents quarrel about how to take care of her.

Her parents both have their own jobs and often leave her at home alone when they go out.Although a nanny was hired, her care was not thoughtful.

Also let her play alone in the room.

Once there was an accident, after which they quit their nanny.

It just so happens that there is a Latin dance training class near where I live.

If her parents were not at home, she would be sent to a Latin dance class.

What she looks forward to most every day is for her parents to be by her side after work.

But she knew that it was a very extravagant thing.

They usually work overtime until very late, and sometimes even if Dad comes back early, he is still busy with his own affairs.

Only her mother will give her good food.

He would forcefully tell her stories when he was sleepy, he would patiently spray her with toilet water when she was bitten by mosquitoes, and he would appear by her side and hug her when she was afraid.

When she came to Lin Town from the city that day, she cried and wanted to go back to the city.

In fact, it wasn't because she was reluctant to live in the city, but because of the person who was by her side.

She needs to be, it's just as simple as companionship.

When her parents couldn't be with her, she pinned her hopes on the Latin dance that could make her very happy.

She didn't know why Nguyen Gai told her that this was your dream.

In the future, you will go to a bigger stage and let more people see you.

she does not know.

She really doesn't know.

After the little dirty boy said that he had no dreams, Ruan Gai squatted on the ground, gently held her shoulders, and said:

"You have what you have, but you don't realize it. What a precious talent you have. I know you are still young, you don't know this, but I am an adult, I have to let you know These. Because it could change lives in the future.”

"Lin Duqing, do you know?"

The word Lin Duqing was only used by Ruan Gai when he was talking to her seriously.

The little dirty boy slowly stopped crying.

I would think of what my mother said when she called her that day: "Du Qing, how are you living with your grandma? Do you miss your mother? Mom misses you very much. The teacher in the dance class also said that she hadn't seen her for a long time. You. After a while, mom will pick you up, and grandpa and grandma will go back to the city together, okay?"

The little dirty boy was silent for a long time, but kept crying.

"At that time, will you still remember me?"

Ruan Gai smiled: "It should be you, will you still remember me?"

The little dirty boy smiled confidently: "Of course I will remember you."

Then I won't forget you either.

Ruan Gai went back in his heart.

The Xiangbei River will arrive soon.

The two banks of Xiangbei River are connected by a bridge, and many stone tablets are laid on both sides of the river.

It is used to facilitate the daily life of the villagers.

The little dirty boy has been in Lin Town for a long time, but he hasn't walked around Lin Town properly.What she does every day is to watch Gai Gai go to school, and when Gai Gai comes back, she goes to play with Gai Gai.

The appearance of Gai Gai made her forget the sadness of coming here in the first place.

So she couldn't imagine what her life would be like after leaving Gaigai.

Standing by the river, looking at the endless river, she didn't know what to think.

Ruan Gai's eyes followed the rushing river.

Sure enough, the water flows downhill.

At the moment when she was in a trance, the little dirty boy who was standing on the shore was walking step by step towards the river beach with the current.

By the time she realized it, the little dirty boy had already gone down the river.

She rushed in that direction without thinking.

But it's still a step too late...

The author has something to say: Ruan Gai: "Then will you forget me?"

Little Dirty Boy: "No."

Ruan Gai: "Then neither will I."

Why do you always feel that you are too swearing?
