is the moon

The author has something to say: The name of the protagonist comes from "the mountain light suddenly falls to the west, and the pool moon gradually rises to the east". :)

[Brother is tired from practicing singing recently?I bought you throat lozenges! 】

[I'm on summer vacation, I'll go back tomorrow, and then I can listen to your singing again! 】

[By the way, I read on the Internet that art students have to go to a training camp during the summer vacation of their senior year of high school. When will you go, brother? 】

At nine o'clock in the evening, the headlights in the bedroom were on, and after Chi Yue packed up his luggage to go back, the first thing he did was touch his phone to send a message.

After school starts, Chi Yue will be in his second year of high school, and going back to his grandma's house every summer vacation is still what he looks forward to the most.He can meet his grandparents, eat the sweet figs he grows at home, and... meet his favorite little brother.

The news came out one after another, Chi Yue sat cross-legged on the bed, and his mother came in to help him check the things he was going to bring, and when he opened the suitcase, he couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth.

Half of the small suitcase is full of throat lozenges, a piano music shelf occupies the other half, and the bottom of the suitcase is covered with bits and pieces, leaving a small stack to wear when going back clothing.

"Is this for your elder brother Jiang Jiandong again?" Mom squatted halfway in front of the suitcase, picking up a box of lozenges to look at, and Chi Yue blinked at him, a little shy, "Hmm."

The round metal box feels quite delicate, and my mother smiled and asked, "He asked you to help carry it?"

"I wanted to give it to him." Chi Yue touched the tip of his nose, and when he laughed, there was a small dimple on the corner of his mouth, "Didn't he learn music, singing is too tiring, so I wanted to buy it for him. "

Mother was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled gently. She knew her son very well, and knew how much he liked this brother named "Jiang Jiandong".

It was the child of a neighbor of grandma's house, Chi Yue's bamboo horse since childhood.

In fact, Chi Yue didn't like him when they first met. Jiang Jiandong's fierce-looking person was also fierce, so he was very difficult to mess with.

But he sang so well that Chi Yue became a fan when he heard it by chance, so every time he went back to his hometown, he would cling to Jiang Jiandong to listen to his singing, and he would never forget it.

After checking the things to bring, mother helped Chi Yue close the box again.Chi Yue lay on the bed playing with his mobile phone, propping his calf up and shaking for a long time, but he still didn't wait for Jiang Jiandong's reply.

Chi Yue sent another message: [brother, did you see my message? 】

After a while, there was another one: [I won't go to bed so early! ! ! 】

Chi Yue: [/I'm about to cry, why are you ignoring me! 】

Chi Yue has the little yellow face that comes with QQ, with his eyes and mouth curled down, trembling and almost crying, maybe this expression is too wronged, Jiang Jiandong finally came late Responding to two messages.

Jiang Jiandong: [ I see it. 】

Jiang Jiandong: [Come back, take your time on the road, don't rush. 】

With just two simple sentences, Chi Yue laughed, revealing a small dimple on his cheek.He happily said that Jiang Jiandong would wait for him at home tomorrow, and that he had brought him a lot of good things.

It was too early for Chi Yue to know Jiang Jiandong. At that time, neither of them had a mobile phone. They used QQ to contact Chi Yue. Chatting, every time Chi Yue approached him several times before he replied.

It looks quite cold, but Chi Yue knows that Jiang Jiandong is not an indifferent person. Every year when he goes back, Jiang Jiandong will take good care of the children in Chi Yue, a big city, and remind him to be careful on the road ,protect yourself.

"Ah, go to bed soon! You have to get up early tomorrow!"

The door was half ajar, Zhao Wanqiu's voice came from outside the door, with a hint of urging, "Hurry up and turn off the lights."

"Got it!" Chi Yue said yes, and felt a little sleepy, jumped out of bed with bare feet to turn off the light, "Good night, mom!"

When I went back to bed, the phone screen was still on, and the glowing light was very clear in the dark night. Chi Yue lay on the bed and looked through the chat records with Jiang Jiandong, and found that Jiang Jiandong "disappeared" after returning to him once. Yes, the dialog box is full of messages sent by myself.

"Forget it, forget it, I don't care about you so much because of your hard work in learning music." Chi Yue stretched out the air-conditioning quilt, and finally sent a message.

【Good night brother, see you tomorrow! 】

It's great to see my brother whom I miss so much tomorrow.

The air conditioner was covered with a thin layer, and Chi Yue shrank into the small quilt, and his eyes were crooked until he fell asleep.

Perhaps knowing Chi Yue's urgency, their journey back was extremely smooth.

Grandma's home is in a small town in the Central Plains. It usually takes at least three or four hours to drive there from Chiyue's home. This time, I arrived home in less than three hours. The road was green all the way, and the highway was smooth.

Grandpa and grandma are all retired teachers, and they live in a family building. The old residential area has been around for some years, and the sign at the entrance of the family courtyard has been worn away, leaving only faint marks and dust.

But the older the place, the more stories there are. When the car enters the yard, the pool becomes more intimate.

He thought of the low, stunted fig tree, and the singing of hot summer nights, and...

Chi Yue looked around the yard with nostalgia, his eyes suddenly froze for a moment.

"Dad," he pointed at one of the plains, with a confused expression, "where is the fig tree here?"

"Oh, you mean the tree planted by Lao Jiang's family? Cut it down." Dad was still parking the car, glanced at it casually, and said indifferently, "At the beginning of the year, the old community was remodeled to mark the parking space, and the tree got in the way , it was chopped off."

"Ah?" Chi Yue opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while, "Why did he suddenly..."

"It's not sudden." Dad didn't understand Chi Yue's mood, so he explained to him, "It's been planned for several years, and it finally started this year...Do you think the built parking lot is so beautiful?"

Dad found a parking space and parked the car, and suddenly remembered something: "Do you want to eat figs? Dad will go to the street to buy you some later?"

"I don't really want to eat it either." Chi Yue shook his head, obviously he liked eating figs the most when he was a child.

He opened the door and got out of the car, stepped on the flat ground, looked around again, and said, "I just feel like I haven't been here for a year, and the sudden change is so big, I'm not used to it."

After all, he is a child in a big city. Chi Yue usually goes to school in Beijing with his parents. Even if he likes grandma's house, he can only come back every year during the two months of summer vacation.

One year is still too long, even if Chi Yue was thinking about this place, he was always a little strange when he first came back, it was inevitable.

At noon, grandma cooked a large table of dishes, and in the afternoon, grandma asked Chi Yue to go downstairs to play with Jiang Jiandong. Everyone in the family knew that Chi Yue had a good relationship with Jiang Jiandong.

Chi Yue said hello, took out the things he brought to Jiang Jiandong, went downstairs, and walked to Jiang Jiandong's door, but his footsteps became lighter unconsciously, and his heart beat a few beats faster.

— After all, we haven't seen each other for a year.

Chi Yue was inexplicably a little nervous.

"Is brother Jiandong here? I'm Chi Yue."

Standing at the door, Chi Yue called out a little cautiously.

The one who opened the door was Jiang Jiandong's brother, named Jiang Wangyao, who was three years older than Jiang Jiandong, and went to a local university.

Jiang Jiandong has a fierce face, while his elder brother Jiang Wangyao is tall and thin, and looks very gentle. When he sees Chi Yue, he smiles, with crooked eyes: "Isn't this A Yue, come in , Jiandong is doing homework in the house."

In fact, Chi Yue really liked being with Jiang Jiandong, but he hadn't seen each other for a year, and when they met again, it was inevitable that they would be a little unfamiliar.

Chi Yue walked into Jiang Jiandong's room, opened his mouth and called out, "Brother."

Jiang Jiandong raised his head and said, "Come on, sit down." After that, the two of them were silent for two seconds at the same time, and neither of them spoke.

It's been a long time since we saw each other, and I couldn't find anything to talk about for a while, Jiang Jiandong seemed to have grown a little taller than before, and his facial features became sharper.His eyes are slightly narrow and long, with high browbones, and he naturally has a sense of alienation and indifference. Chi Yue opened his mouth to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

Unknowingly, they have all grown up, Chi Gaoerer, Jiang Jiandong's third year of high school, they are no longer the silly and happy faces when they were young.

"Why are you still standing there?" It was Jiang Wangyao's gentle voice that broke the silent atmosphere. The cut watermelon was brought into the room, and his brother smiled and said to Chi Yue, "Taste the watermelon, it's just cut, it's so sweet .”

The red soil watermelon was stuffed into the hands of the two of them, Jiang Jiandong suddenly turned around, Chi Yue was slightly startled, and saw him go to the refrigerator to get a bagful of things out.

A small bag of things was heavy in his hand, Chi Yue was a little confused: "What is this?"

"Figs." Jiang Jiandong's expression was flat, "Don't you like this?"

Jiang Wangyao also thought of something, his eyes were bent and his smile became more gentle, and there was a bit of teasing under the gentle smile: "If I don't say anything, I forgot, didn't the fig tree downstairs be cut down, this is the beginning of winter. I bought it specially for you from the supermarket, and I searched several places before I found it for sale."

There are very few figs in the inland area, and a bag of figs is purple and beautiful. Chi Yue picked a ripe one and stuffed it into his mouth, feeling the sweetness in his mouth.He tilted his head to look at Jiang Jiandong and smiled: "It's delicious, thank you brother."

"Yeah." Jiang Jiandong didn't look at him, and said calmly, "Then eat."

Jiang Jiandong didn't talk much, but he was not an indifferent person. He couldn't eat too many figs. After Chi Yue ate two, he tied the bag again, and the sense of alienation between him and Jiang Jiandong disappeared just like that. gone.

After eating the watermelon, Jiang Jiandong did his homework for a while, and Chi Yue was reading comic books beside him. In the evening, Jiang Jiandong said that he would take Chi Yue to eat a nearby barbecue, and Chi Yue happily agreed. It's time to get up.

"By the way, brother, I still have something to give you."

When Chi Yue came, he brought a bag full of things and put them in the living room. He trotted to fetch them, pulled Jiang Jiandong to sit on the sofa, and showed them to Jiang Jiandong like a baby.

"This is a throat lozenge. You have to try it. It's peppermint."

"This is a little kitty ornament that can be hung on the shelf of the music score and can also press the score for you."

"And this! This and this!"

……

There are all kinds of gifts, and there are always many kinds of gifts. Most of them are related to music, and there is a small pile on the coffee table.

I haven't seen you for a year, and I have accumulated a lot of things I want to say and give.Chi Yue knew that learning music was very hard, and he always wanted to buy something for Jiang Jiandong when he saw it. From the first day he heard Jiang Jiandong sing, he was his little fan, his first fan.

"Brother, which school are you going to take the exam? Jingbei Conservatory of Music?" Finally the gifts were delivered, Chi Yue picked up one of the boxes of candy on the table and handed it to Jiang Jiandong, looking at him eagerly, "When is the art exam registration? Are you still going to a training camp during the summer vacation?"

This knowledge is all checked by Chi Yue from the Internet. Chi Yue has been paying attention to it since Jiang Jiandong planned to learn music. Jiang Jiandong is going to be in the third year of high school. The most important year, Chi Yue knows that Jiang Jiandong wants to take the exam. The Conservatory of Music, so I pay more attention to this aspect.

Chi Yue asked carefully, with his round eyes open, he was used to looking into people's eyes when he spoke, and he could feel his purity and sincerity when they met each other.Jiang Jiandong rubbed the round metal box in his hand, his slender fingers slightly bent, and his Adam's apple moved slightly: "I won't go to the training camp."

"Ah?" Chi Yue was a little dazed, Yuanyuan's eyes opened wider, "Didn't they say that there will be a training camp during the summer vacation of the third year of high school? Brother, isn't your school organized? Aren't you in the music student class?"

Chi Yue asked anxiously, but Jiang Jiandong's expression was calm, showing no emotion.

"There is no arrangement, I just can't go."

Jiang Jiandong paused for a moment and then continued, with a deep voice: "Chi Yue, I'm no longer in the music student class."
