Rebirth Delay

The first semester of the second year of junior high school passed smoothly. For Xu Ze, this semester was as smooth as water.

During the winter vacation, it snowed heavily for five days.This is a rare heavy snow in Xinhai City, which is located in a subtropical climate. It is not a beautiful and romantic fluttering, but a savage smash, mixed with hail, and the sound of landing is thrilling.Affected by the Siberian cold current in the north, there was heavy snowfall for several days, and almost the entire land was covered by thick snow, causing considerable snow disasters.

The north is broadcast on TV every day and is affected by the strong cold air, and the snowfall will not stop within the time.The picture always repeats the firefighters driving fire trucks to spray snowmelt, or the fragile houses being crushed and causing casualties, or the orange cleaners sweeping the streets against the wind and snow on the white streets.

The shed of the vegetable farm collapsed, and the thick snow was so heavy that it collapsed from the middle where it should be the strongest.I heard that there were still many people in the vegetable market at that time. An old man was not running fast enough and his leg was crushed. Fortunately, it was not too serious.The rusty steel in the center of the shed hit the ground, gouging a hole and accumulating thick snow.Every time someone passes by here, they can't help but feel lingering fear.

Originally, Baoyun Town Middle School had such a tradition, that is, during the winter vacation of the second and third grades, it liked to take out the students, and in the name of making up lessons, gave the top students a small lesson.However, on the third day, the intensified disaster made the school leaders dare not continue, fearing that in case these pillars of the future motherland fell on the slippery road, they waved their hands and let them go at home to wait for the notice .

Xu Ze stuffed his pockets and huddled in the bright red scarf.This scarf was bought by Shi Yan, it's exactly the same as his, it's a couple's style.Wearing cotton leather shoes on his feet, he picked up dry places and hopped around. Although the fur was thick, Xu Ze still felt his feet were a little stiff from the cold.

Du Yunjie pushed the cart and walked on the side of the road, following Xu Ze who was walking in front from a distance.

Xu Ze was wearing a short white down jacket, but he was wearing a big red hat, scarf, and gloves. The red and white contrasted each other, and the jumping back was full of youth, but also had a sense of elegance and tranquility.Xu Ze's scarf covered his nose, and his breath was trapped in the scarf. His cheeks were pink and his body was thin, making him look tall and straight.He always looked ahead, his eyes were clear and clear.

Du Yunjie realized that he had walked in front of Xu Ze unknowingly.This discovery made him a little embarrassed, and then this embarrassment was replaced by disappointment, because Xu Ze never looked back at him.

Xu Ze was standing in the station, and Du Yunjie was pushing the cart, standing not far from him, also looking ahead.

A few minutes later, the car arrived. Xu Ze swiped his card and got in the car.

Du Yunjie stared blankly at him as he got into the car, walked through the car, and stopped at the back door.The thick fog in the carriage blurred his vision, he could only see Xu Ze's white down jacket and red scarf, but he couldn't see Xu Ze's expression.Du Yunjie wiped his face, his hands were full of tears.

The car drove away.

Du Yunjie finally couldn't bear it and fell off the car, took a few steps back, squatted down by the publicity window of the station, and cried loudly.A strong sense of frustration and grievance that he had never experienced before overwhelmed him, causing him to shrink into a ball involuntarily.In those dark times, he was alone in the corner of the room, avoiding all the light around him almost in fear.

Fall in love with a boy.

He panics, struggles, and fears, but he looks forward to going to school.Every time he came to class and saw Xu Ze, he would feel joy in his heart, but this kind of joy would not last long, and would turn into fear, self-loathing and endless self-questioning.

He was crying bitterly beside the street, he couldn't restrain the bright feeling of loss in his heart, it was like grabbing a handful of sand, you tried hard to hold and squeeze it with both hands, but they still leaked down, until you have nothing left.He hasn't cried like this for a long time, but he can't help it now.

There was no one on the street.

At this lunch time, on this usually bustling street, there was surprisingly no one.

The cold wind blowing in front of him didn't feel anything on his face, but his heart was even colder, an unprecedented coldness.

Shi Yan made preparations early, and bought a lot of potatoes, bacon and Chinese cabbage at home, and there was no shortage of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and the whole room was full.A few days later, the factory was also closed. The transportation company thought the highway was too slippery and was afraid of a series of accidents, so they refused to deliver the goods. The factory was deserted. How could the boss keep everyone eating and let everyone go? .

Shi Yan was happy to go home and stay in the house with Xu Ze, cooking, chatting, reading, kissing and hugging, and sleeping when he was tired.It was cold outside, but warm inside.

The quilts are all made of newly purchased cotton, warm and light. During the day, the electric fan is used to dry the ground, and it is very comfortable to cover at night.

Such an unstable year has finally come to an end.However, even though it was the end of the new year, the street was far from the bustle of previous years, but because of this year's disaster, it became deserted.

The letters from Sun Tong and Sun Hongyan have arrived. Sun Tong is now in Anxi Town Middle School, and Sun Hongyan is in the county middle school.Perhaps it was because they were getting older, and their expectations for the new year had faded a lot, but both of them really wanted to see Xu Ze again, including Hong Ya and the others in the village.Along with it came Sun Xiu's package, most of which contained pickled vegetables, and there were also some photos, some of them, and some of Xiaohu's.

Now Xiaohu is tall and strong, standing upright can reach above a person's waist, his eyes are piercing, staring like copper bells.I don't know what the old man Chen fed it, but it has grown from a small bean to what it is now.In some pictures, it squinted its eyes, as if smiling at the camera, while in others it opened its mouth. The clear canine teeth in the pictures are quite scary.

There was also an ink-colored brocade box in the corner. Xu Ze opened it and saw that it was actually a pen.

This pen was actually quite familiar to them. Whenever Tang Anmin was wearing a shirt or Chinese tunic suit, he would always keep this pen clipped to his left chest.The paint on the body of the pen has peeled off, revealing the gray-black lining.The place where it is held is also rough, and it looks like it has aged.Xu Ze put away the pen when he heard the delay, and was going to return the pen to Tang Anmin when he had a chance to go back.Compared with food and play, this gift is much more valuable.

They have already sent back the return gifts that are given every year, and checking the package shows that it has arrived.Most of the bags are relatively novel snacks, which are for Sun Tong and the others.The rest are some clothes, including sweaters, down vests, gloves, and scarves. They are not too expensive, as long as they are of good quality.

Shi Yan would also put some books in the package, some Tang Anmin wrote the book list himself and asked Shi Yan to send it back, and some things Shi Yan accompanied Xu Ze to the bookstore, and stuffed them all in one go if they looked pleasing to the eye In a big cardboard box, three layers inside and three layers outside were wrapped, and it arrived in the village within a month.

During the year, Xu Tianyi and his family did not come because of the weather.Chen Qing went out for a banquet, Shi Yan and Xu Ze invited Lao Guo to their home and made a big table of delicious food.Lao Guo cooked pumpkin pancakes again, and Shi Yan and Xu Ze ate them until their bellies rounded.After the meal, Lao Guo gave Shi Yan and Xu Zesai the New Year's money, Shi Yan took it, and the plan in his heart was to buy some food and drink for Lao Guo during the New Year and return it back.

This old man is old, has no wife, and has no children under his knees, so he doesn't know how to buy something for himself.After being a neighbor for a long time, Shi Yan still can't stand it anymore, not to mention that this old Guo is planting a two-acre field, and he likes to bring some of the things in the field to the two of them when they are ripe.

Years later, when Shi Yan went to work, he was relieved to hear that the lively girl in the sales department was sent to Japan for training.Once before, on the stairs, the little girl fell down holding a thick brochure. Shi Yan was afraid that she would fall into his arms, so he stretched out his hand to help her, but someone saw her. This incident was spread in the workshop. open.Every time they saw the little girl, they would wink at Shi Yan.

After going back and forth like this, the little girl really paid special attention to the time delay.Occasionally, he took the initiative to ask Shiyan to go out, but Shiyan refused.The little girl was quite unconvinced at the time, and Shi Yan was afraid that there would be another move. Unexpectedly, a year later, the little girl actually applied for training in Japan.

On Valentine's Day, school starts.When picking up the book, Du Yunjie didn't show up.The next day officially started school, but Du Yunjie didn't come either.The teacher didn't say anything about him either.

On Saturday, Xu Ze was pulled to the school to help publish the blackboard newspaper.The propaganda committee member stood on a high stool and looked down at him, "Hey, do you know where Du Yunjie has gone?"

Xu Ze was writing, when he heard the words he shook his head, "I don't know."

The girl stared dissatisfiedly, "It's in the pond, very close to our school."

"En." Xu Ze responded.

The girl put her hips on her hips and glared at him, "Do you know that he likes you? He keeps staring at you in class."

"Huh?" Xu Ze was slightly surprised.

"Ah what?!" The girl's chalk tip was pressed on the blackboard, broke in half, and fell into the chalk slot with a snap.

"Really." Xu Ze regained his composure.

The girl snorted, "You don't even know he likes you so much."

Xu Ze was silent.

The girl turned around angrily and added two panda eyes to the little bear she had just drawn, "You don't even know he likes you so much."

After a while, the girl turned her head to look at Xu Ze, and said in a strange light tone, "Actually, he didn't transfer because of you, and he doesn't like you anymore. I heard that he had a fight with a girl from their school." Get hot."

Xu Ze laughed out loud.He thought the girl's appearance was very interesting.

"Hey, he doesn't like you anymore, are you still so happy?" The girl looked puzzled, and turned to meet Xu Ze's eyes...

"What's your name?" Xu Ze asked.

"Gu Jingjing." The girl replied subconsciously, and then said angrily, "Why should I tell you, my classmates can't remember me for two years."

Xu Ze smiled.

The blackboard reported to the finishing stage, and the girl suddenly said again, "Actually, I have no right to say anything about you, and I am not his." The voice was low and murmured.

The second half of the second semester of the second year of junior high school passed quickly, and the summer vacation was so short that it made people feel that they hadn't rested yet.

As soon as the third year of junior high school started, Cao Yan organized the teachers of all grades to start a mock composition test.Exams are held every two weeks this week and are very formal.Then, Xu Ze, who has always been quite obedient, lost the chain here.

The topic of the composition is maternal love, because the previous exam was my dearest xxx, as long as one chooses to write about mother, it is basically a change of name, and the narrative is sensational, and the scores are generally high.

Xu Ze's last composition was my dearest brother, which was vivid and touching. The 50-point paper scored 48 points, and Cao Yan also took the composition to the campus radio station to recite.

As a result, Xu Ze handed in a blank paper this time.A piece of graph paper, except for the name on the top, there is no word written on the bottom, it's hard for Xu Ze to sit so quietly for a class.

Cao Yan was so anxious that she called Shi Yan to the school in a hurry.

Shi Yan had no other choice, so he simply went to the bookstore and bought some essays for middle school students.Turned to the one about mother's love, and put it in front of Xu Ze, "Recite one article, and then I will write it silently, okay?" The tone was coaxing.

Xu Ze nodded, and after reading it a few times, he recounted to Shi Yan a masterpiece that learned from everyone's strengths.Shi Yan is very proud, but what he is proud of is his child's excellent memory, and the content of the article, I am afraid that both of them will listen to it as a story.

The time for the third grade of junior high school has become extremely short due to repeated mobilization and exams. No matter whether it is anticipation or nervousness, the senior high school entrance examination finally came as scheduled.

Shi Yan felt that the high school entrance examination was a major event, not because he valued Xu Ze's score in the exam, but felt that for Xu Ze, this was a turning point for entering a new school.At such an important moment, he must be present.I made an agreement with my colleagues early on, transferred a class, and Shi Yan made a special trip, just like other parents. From the moment Xu Ze entered the examination room, he waited eagerly.

Xu Ze came out very early, and his parents surrounded him, "Is the test difficult? Have you seen our xxx?"

Afraid of crowding him, Shi Yan hurriedly opened a path to rescue the child, found a shady place and sat down, and passed the thermos over.Inside are the meals he cooked, and they are still hot.

"Oh, that's right!" Shi Yan remembered Cao Yan's advice, and quickly asked, "What is a composition?"

"Hmm... Unforgettable campus..." Xu Ze mumbled with food in his mouth.

"That's right, that's great!" Shi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid of Cao Yan.

On the day of returning to school, it was the school's graduation ceremony, and the transcripts were all sent out. Some families were happy and some were sad.Seeing Xu Ze come out of the auditorium, Cao Yan even patted him, "It can be regarded as a pass in the exam. Do you know? As soon as the exam paper was opened, I called to ask what the essay questions were. I was afraid that I would write about maternal love. If you hand in a blank paper again, I guess I'll have to grow old overnight."

Xu Ze smiled, "Thank you, Teacher Cao."

Cao Yan's heart ached, she walked towards the classroom with her arms around Xu Ze's shoulders.

The atmosphere of graduation and parting was quite strong in the class. After Cao Yan said a few words, some girls started to cry.The boy was still joking and chatting, and he casually filled in the zodiac sign, motto, catchphrase, and message. Now he was infected by the girl and felt a little sore, but after all, he considers himself a man, and he is embarrassed to shed tears.

Xu Ze looked around the class, looking at the faces that became more and more familiar, and felt somewhat astringent in his heart.

graduated.

I don't know when we will meet again.
