far and near

From the [-]th day of the new year to the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Yu Ren contacted Maosheng twice in the school canteen.It's not Uo's fault that the number of times is low, but Yu Ren is unwilling to borrow a phone from He Tiantian, the only one in the class who has a mobile phone, so she has to wait anxiously in the queue in front of the canteen for the students in front of her to finish speaking.

Some students look innocent, and it takes only 2 minutes to contact their parents. They are nothing more than asking for money, buying materials, washing and changing clothes.Some students couldn't say a few words and cried into the phone, "The college entrance examination is still a few months away. I think I can't do anything. I will definitely not be able to get into a good school."

There are also those who fall in love, afraid of the piercing eyes of the aunt at the commissary and the wife of the captain of the school security team, she said implicitly, "I wish I could get into your school sooner." "Isn't your school starting late? Come to me to have a look. "

Yu Ren anxiously looked at his watch to calculate how long it was until class or self-study started, while pretending to be calm and praying that Uo would be free to answer the phone.In the two exchanges, Mao Sheng once apologized that he could not go back to Baizhou to see Yu Ren recently, "My mother will be hospitalized for a month." , Yinxiu also went to see her mother.

Whenever Yinxiu and Yuren are mentioned, pimples start to form in her heart. It's not that she's a big kid, but that the girl's emotional intuition has already developed. She coughed while holding the phone, and looked up to see the captain's wife sitting upright, pretending to be staring at the TV, "Then She is really loyal, I am relieved that your mother's compensation has not fallen into the hands of others..."

Yu Ren wanted to say that I miss you so much, but what she said was "Sorry Uno, I don't have a computer at school, and I can only read my messages on Sunday. My mother will pick me up at noon on Sunday..." She paused , Usheng understood, "I'll wait for your call, don't worry. Just wait until my mother is discharged from the hospital. I'll go back to Baizhou Opera School."

When Uosheng asked her about her situation at school, Yu Ren suddenly realized that she had nothing to say, just "very good", the voice fell, and the preparation bell rang.

Yu Ren could only quickly say "Goodbye Uosheng", and ran to the teaching building after paying the money.

She was not "very good" at school, but was caught between teachers and parents.The homeroom teacher is a mathematics teacher, and he would take both liberal arts and science classes, but he persuaded Yu Ren to join the science-oriented class selection, "Scores are easy to get. As long as you think clearly in science, the results are bound to be clean, and you will get all the marks." Liberal arts does not Similarly, it is thankless to answer questions in a long and long paragraph, and you can catch the handle and deduct points no matter what.

The teacher of the experimental class also noticed Yu Ren, and admitted that this girl who missed the experimental class in the placement test "rarely has stamina".The words are not particularly generous, but the word "stamina" is mostly used to praise male classmates, and now it is used to describe Yu Ren is quite a high evaluation.The head teacher of the science experiment class also took time to meet with Yu Ren, and had a small chat with Yu Ren, basically the teacher said, the main idea was "study hard, keep going, the door of the experimental class is open to you."

But Yu Ren had some calculations in her heart. Compared with the sciences that can only be learned well through hard work, she hopes to study the liberal arts that interests her.This idea was only revealed to Yu Xiaomin once, and my mother choked, "What liberal arts are you studying? Go drink the northwest wind?"

In the heart of Tanhua from the county science department, the "those things" in the liberal arts are in the final analysis the ability to write and comprehend, and pay attention to memory.It has nothing to do with "technology" at all.The stepping stone of technology is mathematics, physics and chemistry, which is the high ground of IQ and logic.After the mother and daughter returned from the provincial hospital, the relationship basically eased to the past, but the prelude to the secret war has already begun.So I didn't tell Yu Xiaomin that Yu Ren and Little Curly Huai Fengnian met eyes when filling out the sub-subjects, and became the only student among the top [-] high-achieving students in the whole year who applied for pure arts subjects.

Although Xiao Curly's grades have improved, his goal is still firm. "My science grades can at most allow me to get into Baizhou University, but my liberal arts grades allow me to enter the top four universities in Beijing." When talking about technology She has no worries, "I'm good at making wontons, so I don't have to worry about running out of food."

Although it was the student's personal will, Yu Ren's choice still caused a shock throughout the grade. He Tiantian, who thought that he had parted ways with Yu Ren after the division of subjects, also chose the liberal arts subject, and she was depressed for several days because of this.And Yu Ren was also called away by the teacher of the department and the head of the grade in turn to chat with him. Yu Ren was like a prisoner who had been interrogated in many halls. He sat upright in the office and explained his reasons to the teacher. If you write clearly, 'Studying liberal arts is a dead end, we strongly urge students to apply for science', then I will admit it."

Employment prospects, the school's provincial and municipal champions' impact echelon, etc. have nothing to do with Yu Ren. She acts from the heart, and feels that the goal of the journey is elusive and blurred.Finally, the news reached Yu Xiaomin, and the vice president, who was still in the administrative meeting, immediately went to No. [-] Middle School and Yu Ren to discuss it.

The mother and daughter's slang and yin and yang battles have expanded from love to subject selection. Yu Ren smiled and persuaded the livid mother, "I am confident that I will be admitted to a good school even if I study liberal arts. Professionally, I am more inclined to do academic research. , leaning towards humanities subjects. You advised me to study medicine, and I fainted. I have no interest in programming when studying computers. Besides, liberal arts such as finance can also apply. To put it bluntly, mother, you are only interested in money."

When her daughter was determined, Yu Xiaomin could not pull Ren Songhong or Yu Wenzhao. Finally, when it came to cutting off college tuition and living expenses, Yu Ren raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it mom? I knew that when you and my dad divorced, I would marry you." He'll be fine."

The three tricks that adults use to coax children are "for your own good", "you will regret it" and "don't blame me for not persuading you in the future", falling on Yu Ren is like scratching an itch, sending away the sighing vice president's mother, Yu Ren stood in the corridor of the classroom and looked at the construction sites outside the school for a long time. The scarlet setting sun fell between two modern buildings soaring into the clouds, and a sense of loneliness as a lonely hero after a bloody battle permeated her heart.

Where will she be?Where will the future of Uogi be?And what about San'er, who is studious and clever?

"Are you broken in love?" Huai Fengnian handed Yu Ren a piece of chewing gum. She leaned on the railing and raised her head to blow the air. "It's better to be broken in love than not to be in love at all. It's not like my life is nothing but reading and making wontons."

Yu Ren looked at her, and suddenly realized that even Huai Fengnian's height had surpassed him in the past six months.She bared her teeth, "I'm not broken in love, it's just that we can't see each other." She admitted her love in a disguised form for the first time, and her eyes fell on the village in the city further away. She thought of San'er's delayed study progress, and looked at the invisible In the provincial capital, "Huai Feng Nian, when will we be able to live the life we ​​want?"

There is no strict campus control, no test questions rolling like wheels, no choice to be forced by others, how good it is to stay with the person you like forever?

Huai Fengnian turned around and looked downstairs, "Here, you have to walk out of the No. 800 Middle School and head towards the university. This building is [-] meters away from the gate. We have to walk for another [-] days, eh..." She stretched out her hand Grabbing the glasses that had slid down, there was only a slight crisp sound, and the round frame had fallen to the first floor and shattered.

The little curly squinted his eyes and looked at the ground, and then rubbed his eyes to see the blurred Yu Ren, "Look, the glasses are more excited than me, it's more than 400 yuan! How many big wontons of shepherd's purse do I have to make?"

Without the cover of glasses, Huai Fengnian's face looked even more childish.Yu Ren suppressed a smile, "Let's go, I'll borrow a pair for you for a few days."

The blood-colored sunset had already sunk into the back of the tall building in front, only a small half of the red line was exposed.The street lights were turned on, and the migrant households in the villages in the city returned to their temporary small homes one after another.The female tenants of Yuan Huifang's house were among them. Before they went upstairs with fried noodles, wontons and cold skin, they saw Xiao Yuanliu lying under the street lamp and writing with a pen, "Oh Xiaoliu, you know how to work hard at such a young age? What a good college student." seedling."

Yuan Liu raised her small face and smiled, then glanced at Yuan Huifang in the China Unicom franchise store, seeing that she was staring at the TV without moving, she continued to review the words that Yu Ren taught her with peace of mind.

"Your word 'ren' can't be written horizontally." Yinxiu, who was carrying a thermos bowl, also came back, and dragged the ponytail to sit beside Yuan Liu, "Come on, I'll hold your handwriting." She hugged Yuan Liu's chubby hand with her slender knuckles, "Hey, one stroke. By the way, one more time, one stroke." After practicing three times, Yuan Liu finally got Yu Ren's "Ren" correct.Yuan Huifang turned away from the TV and greeted Yin Xiu politely, "Do you leave work early today?"

Yinxiu has become one of her most stable high-end tenants. She pays on time and likes hygiene. In addition, she doesn't cause trouble, which makes Yuan Huifang more satisfied with Yinxiu and speaks softly.

In Yuan Huifang's four-story urban village house, not getting into trouble means not quarreling over a little bit of shampoo, not scuffling over a pair of torn stockings, and not chatting around.These are the perfect qualities of a perfect tenant.The most important thing is that I will not flirt with Liu Maosong secretly.

Yuan Huifang knew that Liu Maosong had "non-duty" thoughts about Yin Xiu.As long as a woman has bigger breasts than Yuan Huifang, a thinner waist than hers, or a face without yellow spots, Liu Maosong will have such thoughts.The 1000-yuan leather shoes on his feet, the [-]-yuan overcoat on his body, and half a catty of hairspray on his head are not for Yuan Huifang's favor, but for the "decency" of the family.

"A man my age, who is dressed in ragged clothes? You, Yuan Huifang, don't pay attention to me, but I should pay more attention. Otherwise, when people come to our house to look at the house, they will think they are in a slum." Liu Maosong has a good reason.

So he dressed up carefully and knocked on Yinxiu's door in private half a month ago, squeezed in to check the leak in the ceiling, and asked Yinxiu if she would like to "be friends" with him?This is Liu Maosong's simplicity. The little thing about men and women living under the nose of his wife is packaged by him with a discount of [-]% of the annual rent and the old and decent term "befriend".If the pretty tenant agrees to "make friends", he will also give a long-term expectation of "kick that yellow-faced woman and you will be the boss".

Yinxiu didn't follow him, not to mention the five wrinkles at the corners of his eyes that could kill flies, and the half-yellow teeth that leaked from the cigarettes, but his old man's posture of yelling at Yuan Liu made her disgusted.

When Liu Maosong sat down on Yinxiu's bed to carry out emotional pyramid schemes, Yinxiu opened the door of the room and went out.She went to the China Unicom store and said to Yuan Huifang, "Brother Liu said there was a leak in the ceiling of my room and I went in to check it. I'll come to your place and wait for a while."

Yuan Huifang appreciated Yin Xiu's self-conscious and sensible attitude even more, and immediately generously poured Yin Xiu a cup of tea that had been brewed six times, stretched his feet into the cotton slippers, and stepped on the steep stairs upstairs . Fifteen minutes later, he came back after grabbing a hand of hairspray from his husband's head, his face was flushed red after a fierce battle, and he cursed, "He shouldn't be worrying about MLGB."

Ask Yin Xiu again, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Yinxiu said that they haven't talked about it yet. The customers in the store look down on her, and she doesn't like the cook behind her. They have been thinking about finding something for the waitress all day long, "I still want to find someone who does her job."

Yuan Huifang quite agreed with this answer, and then praised Yin Xiu, "I really didn't see that you girl is quite 'inner energy'." Inner energy is a Baizhou dialect, which mostly refers to a person with good character.Add another sentence of the old sister's heart-to-heart confession to the younger sister, "In the future, if anyone here troubles you, you can tell Sister Yuan directly." The tone of the relationship is established in this way.

After Yinxiu taught Xiao Yuanliu how to write "单", she opened the lunch box and pushed it in front of the child, "Today is rice buns and meat, let's eat." Bai Maosheng is no longer in Baizhou, and the things she brought back are not very good After finishing eating, Xiao Yuanliu was lucky.

Yuan Huifang poured her tea and brought it to her, "You are always so polite and always bring her something to eat." She didn't bother to watch TV, so she dragged a plastic chair to sit under the street lamp, "I plan to let you in the second half of the year She is in the first grade, and although she has never been to kindergarten, it may be a piece of material." At the invitation of Yin Xiu, she also grabbed a bun to eat, "Fulinjiang's buns are just different." Speaking of Yuan Liu's cheap tutor, "That girl, she said she likes to teach her, but she hasn't been here for more than half a month. Oh, I know, how can such a young child have perseverance in doing things."

Yin Xiu said that maybe he was busy studying in No. [-] Middle School.She tore the steamed stuffed bun and watched Yuan Liu eat, her eyes narrowed, and she reached out to stroke her hair, "This kid's hair is really good."

Yuan Huifang, the adoptive mother with yellow and thinning hair, was taken aback, and laughed dryly, "You are young and full of energy." She changed the subject, "Where's your fair, tall friend? He hasn't come for a long time."

Yinxiu said that she had something to do with her family and she was in the provincial capital recently.Thinking of her aggrieved and shocked look after kissing Bai Maosheng that day, Yin Xiu's eyes widened into a smile.That day she left the provincial capital with a smile all the way, and Bai Maosheng, who dragged her to the station by the hem of his clothes, blushed and said nothing to Yin Xiu outside the car, "You can't tell Yu Ren."

"That depends on your attitude." Yin Xiu replied to her like this, but it was a pity that she wanted to pat her head again through the glass.

"Speaking of which, beautiful people are surrounded by beautiful people." Yuan Huifang recalled the tall girl with emotion, "The eyebrows, the hands and feet, look like they came from a stage." She saw that Yuan Liu was already eating the third piece of meat. , patted her hand, "It's almost done, Xiao Liu, this is your Aunt Yin's dinner."

Yuan Liu withdrew his finger and put it in his mouth to suck, and looked at Yinxiu and his mother with some trepidation.Yinxiu smiled softly, "Eat it, I've eaten it." When she was a child, she went out to eat with her mother and a certain boyfriend. She didn't usually eat meat, but she caught four ribs in a row and was hit by her mother with chopsticks. " Have you eaten?"

Now she can often eat ribs, and she doesn't have to look at her mother and other people's eyes to live, but renting such a house is not a lifetime thing.

You have to buy a house, you have to cook a pot of ribs in your own kitchen, you have to close the door and ignore the outside world after get off work, and no one will come to your door and say that you are checking the ceiling and stretch your hand to your ass.Yinxiu now feels more and more important to make money, money is the future, and money is dignity.

The village in the city in front of Yinxiu turned into mottled patches of gray, black and blue under the street lights, and there were pools of dirty sewage on the ground.In front of the alley is a tidy new world, brightly lit, modern and mysterious.She suddenly saw Bai Maosheng in the crowd coming and going, carrying a bag, white clothes and black trousers.Yin Xiu, who thought she was hallucinating, looked intently, but Yuan Liu called out, "Ah, Sister Bai." But she didn't see Yu Ren, and Yuan Liu's eyes were a little disappointed.

Bai Maosheng approached, greeted Yuan Huifang first, then pinched Yuan Liu's little apple face, took out a small cake from the bag and gave it to her, "Come, I'll bring you something to eat."

Yuan Huifang said, "Oh, all of you are so polite." He hurriedly asked Yuan Liu to thank Bai Maosheng.

Bai Maosheng stood in front of Yinxiu with both handbags, met her eyes, scratched his head and looked away, his dark eyes flashed shyly, "Yin... Sister Yin, I have something to do with you."

Yin Xiu's hand holding the seedling straw bag trembled, "Okay, let's talk in the room."
