In summer like autumn

It was only two o'clock in the afternoon when the graduation ceremony ended.

A group of third-year junior high school students rushed out, yelling and trying to harass the younger students who were still in class with their voices, with a little sense of superiority from those who came here.

Hearing the sound, the teacher in the duty room ran out angrily and reminded the group of brats to lower their volume.

Although the graduates obediently closed their voices, they didn't let go of this great opportunity to "molest" the people's teachers to their heart's content.A few tall and burly boys ran over to hook up with the new intern teacher, as if they were brothers and sisters, and the tall and thin college student's face turned red and white before he gave up.

Most of the students will enter the high school of the school and continue their relationship with classmates, but they still cannot avoid posturing when they graduate.Students with a good relationship quickly gathered into various small groups, discussing where to gather next.

Wen Qiu came out with the crowd, walked and looked down at the corner of his clothes.The school uniforms of their school are not too different, but similar to those of most middle schools in the city: uniform sportswear, blue and white, baggy, covering Wen Qiu's tall and straight body and slender limbs. everyone.

The weather was hot, and he wanted to take off the clothes, but suddenly felt a lot of reluctance.The fingertips hesitated for a moment, and finally only pulled the zipper down a little, revealing a slender collarbone.

Three or five boys on bicycles whistled loudly and passed Wen Qiu, but he didn't care at all.The janitor slowly closed the iron door, and there was a crisp sound when it was locked. The sound seemed to say goodbye, passed through the crowd of people, and fell on the young man's heart.

Of course Wen Qiu was reluctant, today was the end of his junior high school life, and his life in this city was about to come to an end.

Wen Liping met a middle-aged man half a year ago because of work.This person is surnamed Li Mingcheng, two years older than Wen Liping, has worked in Shanghai for many years, but still has a strong northern accent, and has a very hearty personality. After only half a day in Wen Liping's company, he got along with her colleagues in that department and was praised by everyone. Enthusiastically called "Lao Li".

When Lao Li was still Xiao Li, he did everything with enthusiasm, and stepped into the siege early. As a result, the enthusiasm came and went quickly, and he divorced his ex-wife within two or three years because of various conflicts.The previous marriage did not leave him with a man and a woman, but Li Cheng did not remarry, as if he had a complete understanding of marriage, and since then he has devoted himself to his career, busy and busy, from young Li to old Li.

A few close colleagues on weekdays knew that Wen Liping had been single for many years, and when they saw such a man with the right qualifications descending from the sky, they worked hard to match her up.Wen Liping was famous for being a beauty when she was young, but now she is more and more graceful, a group of people are around all day long trying to make explicit hints, and Lao Li is obviously also thinking about it.

Although Li Cheng always gives people the impression of being gentle and elegant, he is unambiguous when he chases after Wen Liping.He has been working in Shanghai all year round. Ever since he got acquainted with Wen Meiren, he has been running to this small southern city every now and then.Every time I asked Wen Liping out for dinner, and said that I happened to be here on a business trip, so I would meet by the way.

His tone was relaxed and cheerful, but he was full of travel and dust, as if he was really busy with business, and he clearly didn't want to put too much pressure on Wen Liping.

Wen Liping didn't tell the truth, she saw it all.

People fall in love again in middle age, without the vigor and ups and downs of their youth, the two of them have clear goals, and it is easier to get along with each other.Half a year later, at Li Cheng's suggestion, Wen Liping began to consider remarriage.Li Cheng knew about Wen Liping's last marriage, which left her with a child. Whenever this child was mentioned in the process of discussing marriage, he always hesitated to speak, and changed the topic for some reason.

Wen Liping didn't understand Li Cheng's attitude towards Wen Qiu at first, but after a friend's suggestion, she vaguely understood that this man probably wanted to have a child with her, and she was also worried that Wen Qiu might be at the During the rebellious period, there was a lot of resistance to this matter; this matter can be big or small, but when it is suddenly discussed, I am afraid that Wen Liping will be overwhelmed.How to treat Wen Qiu made Li Cheng a little embarrassed.

It is acceptable for Wen Liping to have another child.But I am no longer young, since I have made a decision, I should make arrangements early.After thinking about it, she decided to go to Shanghai with Li Cheng and concentrate on taking care of the child for two or three years after giving birth; she sent Wen Qiu to her mother so that he could go to high school with peace of mind and not have to worry about the short things about his parents.

Although Wen Qiu was a docile child, he had never left Wen Liping's side for more than ten years, and Wen Liping's mother was old, so she couldn't take care of Wen Qiu as well as she did.Thinking of this, Wen Liping felt in a dilemma.

Waiting and waiting, Wen Liping dared to say this to her son only after Wen Qiu's high school entrance examination was over.

Wen Qiu was burying his head in his meal, when he heard his mother talk about his plan to remarry, he stopped the chopsticks in his hand.He had met that man several times, and he couldn't say how close he was, but he didn't feel disgusted, and he would obediently call "Uncle Li" when he met him.Once Wen Liping invited Uncle Li to go home for dinner. After the meal, the man rolled up his sleeves and followed Wen Liping to the kitchen to wash the dishes.Wen Qiu sat on the sofa, heard the sound of dishes colliding in the kitchen, heard his mother whispering to the man, and occasionally laughed softly, he suddenly had a new understanding of the concept of "home".

Being with this Uncle Li, Wen Qiu felt that his mother was happy, and that kind of happiness was indescribable, but it was something he couldn't give.Hearing that the wedding date has been set during the National Day, Wen Qiu was very happy for his mother, and even became a little excited: "Where are you going to get married? Like Sister Shuangshuang next door, at the Languang Hotel? How many people do you want to invite? I can help You write invitations! Sister Shuangshuang got married last time and asked me to help..."

Speaking of this incident brought back memories of Wen Liping.Her income is neither high nor low, and it is somewhat difficult to maintain the life of mother and child.There was no way to send her son to study music and art, but Wen Liping was not reconciled, so after careful consideration, she decided to send her son to learn calligraphy.

Wen Liping likes to be quiet, and the son she raised is also quiet and quiet.After finishing homework every day, if it was still early, Wen Qiu would take out the copybook and silently read a few pages.It took a long time to write some famous tricks, both lower script and running script are easy to use, not at all like the handwriting of teenagers, with maturity that does not match their age.Old Liu's daughter got married, and Lao Liu somehow remembered Wen's boy's handsome writing, and quickly asked his daughter to invite Xiao Wenqiu, who lives next door, to help write the invitation.

When Wen Qiu proposed to contribute to her mother's wedding as if offering a treasure, Wen Liping sighed inaudibly, and raised her hand to stroke her son's hair.Wen Qiu's hair is already a little long and soft, just like his temperament.

"Xiaoqiu, your Uncle Li and I are going to Shanghai to get married." Wen Liping interrupted her son who was chattering, "I also applied for job transfer. We will live in Shanghai after we get married."

"Shanghai?" Wen Qiu was a little surprised, "Aren't we going to live here in the future? Then I'm going to Shanghai to study in high school? I have to tell Xiaohu and them, I thought I would go to high school with them..."

Wen Qiu got up while talking, intending to call his old classmate, but his mother grabbed his wrist.

Wen Liping confessed all her plans, Wen Qiu froze.

As expected, he was going to go to other places to study high school, but instead of Shanghai, he went to Jiangbei City, the provincial capital, to live with his grandmother.

The "we" that my mother said went to Shanghai to live together did not include Wen Qiu.

Wen Qiu was stunned for two seconds before he came back to his senses: Mom, Uncle Li, and the planned younger brother or sister, that is "us", that is "home".

Mom, are you like Dad, you don't want me anymore?

Wen Qiu really wanted to ask Wen Liping this, but he bit his lower lip and didn't speak.

Wen Qiu stood there with his back to his mother.

Wen Liping didn't know how ugly her son's face was now, but only heard her son answer "Yes" softly, in a gentle and well-behaved tone.

"I'm going to tell Xiaohu and them. I'm going to call, Mom."

Wen Qiu's "Mom" trembled at the end.When Wen Liping heard this, her heart throbbed with pain.

She suddenly felt a little regretful, and wanted to hold her son in her arms, just like in the past, gently stroking his back and ruffling his hair.

When exactly did Wen Qiu surpass himself in stature?His shoulders are thin, his legs are slender, and his figure already vaguely resembles that person's back then.Wen Liping watched her son's back walking towards the room, and suddenly froze, after all, she didn't go to hug him.

From the dining table to the room, Wen Qiu felt that the distance was stretched like never before.He wished he could run back to the room immediately and shut the door heavily.

But he can't do that.My mother was about to remarry, and she finally found someone who could wash the dishes and chat with her after dinner.The appearance of Li Cheng made Wen Qiu see a smile on his mother's face that he had never seen before. She was happy, and he should be happy for her. He should even thank this man.isn't it?

It is clearly midsummer, but Wen Qiu feels his limbs feel cold, as if autumn has arrived earlier.
