like her

Nguyen Gai's room was on the second floor, and it was a very small room.In the past, she shared a room with her grandparents, but as she got older, it was not convenient to live together, and she had more and more books, so the small room where the groceries were stored was vacated for her.

Although the room was small, it was arranged very pleasingly by her.

The study desk is near the window, and the corner is full of books.

There is a bed near the door, the quilt is light gray, and there is a small table next to the bed with a small night light on it.There is also a small box underneath, which contains daily necessities.

Other than that, there is nothing superfluous in the room.

Very minimalistic.

After Ruan Gai carried the little dirty child into the room, he put her on the stool and went to get the toilet water in the small box.

The toilet water suddenly touched the skin, and it was a little cool, and the little dirty boy's legs trembled.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Gai raised his eyes and asked her.

The little dirty boy said truthfully, "It's cool."

Ruan Gai hummed.

But then I didn't spray it directly on it anymore, but sprayed it on my hands first, and then wiped it on her feet.After wiping it off, I took another breath, "This way it won't itch."

The little dirty boy looked down at her, and after a while he said, "Gai Gai, do you miss your mother?"

Ruan Gai was taken aback, as if he didn't expect her to ask such a question, "Huh?"

The little dirty boy raised his head slightly, "Suddenly I miss my mother so much. She used to help me wipe toilet water like this."

Ruan Gai lowered his head slightly, then turned around and sat cross-legged beside her, "I'm fine now."

In Ruan Gai's memory, she still remembers that when she was very young, her parents wanted to go out to work, and she cried so hard that she refused to let them go.But in the end, they left without looking back.

Later, when I grew up slowly, my temperament gradually changed.

Perhaps the word growing up is to let people learn to control their emotions.

The little dirty boy tilted his head to look at her and said, "Then will I be like you?"

Ruan Gai shook his head: "Don't be like me, and you won't be like me either."

The little dirty boy couldn't understand, "Why, aren't you very good Gagai?"

Ruan Gai thought her words were quite interesting, "What's wrong with me, I'm still laughing at you."

The little dirty boy looked at her innocently, "When did you laugh at me?"

Ok.

Ruan Gai gave up trying to defend her.

I asked her: "Then do you still remember your mother's landline number? We can go to the small store and make a call later."

At that time, mobile phones were not popular in Lin Town.

Even landline telephones are not available door to door.

Like Ruan Gai's family, there is no one. Every time her parents who work outside call, the owner of the small shop has to call to answer the phone.

The little dirty boy thought for a while and said: "Mom is very busy, she said she doesn't have time to answer the phone."

Dr. Mo's family has a landline. On the first night when the little dirty boy was sent to Lin Town, her mother called and told the little dirty boy softly on the phone, "You have to be gentle, be good. Mom will be here to pick you up soon."

"Mom is a little busy recently and doesn't have time to accompany you."

"Gai Gai, tell me, I can't go back to the city." The little dirty boy suddenly became very sad.

Ruan Gai hugged his knees with both hands, and said softly, "What is it like in the city? Why are there so many people going to the city?"

The little dirty boy pouted and said, "I don't know what's good in the city. I just know that my parents and my friends are all in the city."

Ruan Gai smiled and said, "Since you don't know what's good in the city, isn't it the same to live here?"

The little dirty boy also grinned: "If Gagai is willing to play with me, and then protect me from the big cock pecking me, I can go back to the city later."

That is to eventually return to the city.

14-year-old Ruan Gai had a strong curiosity about the city for the first time.She began to wonder what the place where everyone frantically flocked was like.

And how it became, a place where so many people belong and live.

By the end of August, the little dirty boy had gotten used to life in the country.

And she also took off her little floral dress, and changed into pants and short sleeves.

Because after I said that there were a lot of mosquitoes that day, suddenly many mosquitoes were staring at her, and there were red envelopes all over the legs and arms that bit her.

Every time she was bitten, she went to Ruan Gai's house.

Let her help spray toilet water.

"Gai Gai, I'm really itchy." The little dirty boy was very wronged.

Ruan Gai sneered: "Who told you to run around every day?"

School will start in September soon, and Ruan Gai has been busy saving pocket money, and hasn't done his summer homework yet.

Although those summer assignments are very simple, it is still necessary to put on a show when the school starts.

So in the next few days, she would make up her summer homework at home, and it was easy for the school to distribute it uniformly. What was difficult was that the Chinese teacher additionally proposed [-] weekly diaries.

Every time she was about to calm down and write a weekly diary, the little dirty boy would call her across from her house: "Gai Gai, I was bitten by a mosquito again."

The two families are next door, and the balcony of the little dirty boy's house is just facing her small room.

It doesn't need to be too loud, Ruan Gai can hear it.

Every time Ruan Gai heard her voice, he thought to himself, it's over.

This little dirty boy is coming again.

If Ruan Gai didn't like sleeping with others, this little dirty boy could stay here all night.Even Dr. Mo and Mr. Lin were surprised. Their granddaughter is said to be not clingy.

how now?

Ruan Gai's grandparents were even more surprised.

Her granddaughter is not even close to her younger brother, and now she plays so well with a child.

Occasionally, the two families would talk and laugh when they went out for a walk together after dinner.

The adults here in Lin Town have the habit of going out for a walk after meals, walking on the path in the field, and talking about recent anecdotes.

Once, Dr. Mo and Teacher Lin told their granddaughter that Gai Gai had to do homework, and we will go to her after she finishes her homework. Grandpa and grandma will take you out for a walk.

After a long time, someone asked the little dirty boy who had grown up, you are so many years apart, shouldn't you call her sister?

At that time, no one called her dirty boy anymore, everyone called her Lin Duqing.

She thought for a while and then replied: "It seems that I have always called her Gai Gai since I was a child. And my family members have never corrected me. They must call her sister. So I have never called her sister. .”

The little dirty boy back then didn't know what was going to happen next. When grandma told her this, she mumbled back with the word oh.

For about two nights, she didn't go to Ruan Gai.

It just so happened that during those two days, when the temperature in Lin Town was the highest, Ruan Gai sat in the small room, extremely hot.

The wind from the old fan is not worth it at all.

She even started spraying toilet water to relieve the heat.

But none of these can compare to the heat that the little dirty boy came to find her and talk to her, and the heat would subside in an instant, making one feel a gust of breeze blowing by.

So when Ruan Gai didn't see her, he subconsciously felt that she was running around.

The little dirty boy was wronged, obviously he didn't run around.Always listen to her grandma, don't bother Gaga with her homework.Now she is still told by her Gai Gai that she will be bitten by mosquitoes because of running around.

She asked weakly:

"Gai Gai, have you finished your homework?"

certainly--

I haven't finished writing.

There are still twelve weekly diaries.

I don't know how to write it.

"It's almost there." Ordinarily, she should have finished speaking.But she hesitated for a moment, and changed her words.

After she finished speaking, the little dirty boy shook his legs and asked, "That means it's time to finish writing, right?"

Nguyen Gai nodded.

After that night, the little dirty boy stopped going for a walk with his grandpa and grandma, and said on time that he had been bitten by a mosquito, and then came to Ruan Gai's house to report.

But in fact, Ruan Gai is sometimes a very serious person. Everyone says that the weekly diary is the best to write, and he writes it randomly.But she writes very seriously every time, it must be her true feelings.

And be sure to add your own insights.

When I was young, I thought a lot, but when I really wanted to express it, I seemed a little slow.

Every time when her inspiration comes, it must be the time when the little dirty child is about to be bitten by mosquitoes.

So that day she wrote in her weekly diary:

"When you try to own something, it seems that you must also lose something. This feeling is wonderful, like a responsibility, more like getting along with people."

into the night.

Ruan Gai poured out the money in his change jar and counted it.

All the money earned this summer is in it.

It's about 300 yuan. She has a plan for this amount of money.

She has been fond of the radios in the old street audiovisual store for a long time.It's the kind that can play tapes and listen to music. When she passed by last time, she stood outside the door and took a look.

At that time, she had no money in her pocket, so she didn't dare to go in and ask.Just outside the door, someone inside was asking the price of which radio.

It costs about 90 yuan, and if you take a few more tapes, it will be about 100 yuan.

There are 100 yuan left, and [-] yuan is to be saved as real estate.The other one hundred was intended to be used to supplement the household, and then to buy a dictionary and a pair of sneakers for myself.

But now, she plans to take out the money and take the dirty boy back to the city before school starts.In fact, she wanted to see what the city looked like.

Because she had never been there before, she didn't know how much money she should bring.

But I felt in my heart that 100 yuan was already a lot.

At that time, the prices had not risen crazily, so 100 yuan at that time could buy a lot of things.

Ruan Gai only initially had this idea, but she was not sure whether it could be realized or not.

After all, she didn't go out alone, and she also brought a child with her.

In case something happens along the way, she can't bear that responsibility.

So she decided to ask first, the conditions in the class are better, and the classmates who have been to the city.

As far as she knew, He Lele's family was in good condition.

But I was afraid that I would ask her. All the classmates around here knew about her going to the city.

But besides her, like other people, she didn't know how to speak.

So when she took the initiative to find He Lele, He Lele didn't put on her shoes, and ran towards her, "Sister Gai, Sister Gai, you actually came to play with me!"

Ruan Gai was frightened by her enthusiasm, and said with a smile: "I have something to ask you."

He Lele slapped his chest fiercely: "Say! There is nothing that I, He Lele, don't know about."

"Even if it's something I don't know, I can help you ask it, Sister Gai."

Ruan Gai was ashamed.

Her tablemate, when I saw her, I was always very enthusiastic.

"I……"

"I want to go to the city, do you know how to get there?"

Ruan Gai organized the language, minus the antecedents, and only talked about the consequences.The purpose is to say less, so as not to be spread by someone.

How did you know that Le's brain circuit was very magical, and she was shocked: "Sister Gai, you don't really want to send that child back to the city, do you?"
