As the name suggests, Little Crab Street, because its alleys are as many and narrow as the legs of a little crab, so this dilapidated, always dark and damp neighborhood is called "Little Crab Street."

Chu Yan's family lived in a community in the southwest corner of Xiaoyu Street.

It is not accurate to say that it is a residential area. It consists of three small six-story buildings squeezed together in a triangle shape. The first floor next to the street is a shop. The narrow and narrow triangle formed between the three small buildings is the incredible smallness of the community. Common areas too.

——Small Crab Street is full of such self-built houses. They are red, green, green, blue, blue, yellow, and yellow. They are close together, forming the largest gathering place for floating population in the old city.

The landlords who own these buildings should be very rich, but the people living in the small buildings are often poor.

Chu Yan stopped on the main street of Xiaoyu Street. The ride along the way made him a little breathless, and a little sweat oozes from his forehead.He remembered going home to the fourth alley on the right, which was not as wide as the main street, and it was very difficult for cars to get in.

He parked his car on the side of the road and went to a small store to buy a lighter.When I came out, it was already dark, and the street lights on the side of the road were turned on.

Chu Yan just got on the bike, glanced forward, and then was slightly stunned.

He saw a woman in the overalls of "An Xin Housekeeping" walking forward carrying a bag that seemed to contain vegetables and meat. Her hair was coiled and her figure was no longer young. A few wisps of breeze blew her bangs up. , the outline of the side face can vaguely tell that the foundation is not bad, and it should be very beautiful when young.

Chu Yan realized that the woman was the mother of this body, Wang Mei, and also noticed that there was a man walking beside Wang Mei, wearing simple clothes and looking slightly lame in one leg.

The man was about to reach out to help Wang Mei carry something, but Wang Mei took a step back and refused.The woman shook her head and said something to the man, but Chu Yan could see that she was smiling.

Chu Yan suddenly felt a little bored.

He suddenly thought, Wang Mei should not wear ugly work clothes, but beautiful dresses, and she can freely fall in love with the person she likes without worrying about it.

Chu Yan rode his bike around and turned around, went to the back of another alley, found a step under the street lamp and sat down.

He took out the original diary from his schoolbag.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Yan opened the diary anyway.

The inside page says the name and class:

褚延

Grade [-] Class

This was written by Yuan Shen when he first entered high school. Judging from Chu Yan's eyes, the original body's handwriting is not ugly, with some youthful childishness. The traces of these words are very deep. excitement.

This notebook was given to him by his homeroom teacher when he was admitted to No. [-] Middle School in the middle school entrance examination, and encouraged him to study hard in high school as well.

Haramoto did the same at first, starting his high school career with high hopes.Then he found that no matter how hard he worked, he couldn't keep up with the teacher's progress. Every time he took the test, those students who didn't seem to work hard at all answered better than him.

Slowly, the original body became more and more gloomy, and the words in the diary also turned into cursing and resentment.You scold yourself and your classmates, you hate your teachers and your family.

Chu Yan frowned slightly, and turned a few pages back.Then I finally saw Su Nianqing in the 37th diary.

In the original writing, he felt more and more the difference between people.

He wrote that he went out early in the morning, but the chain of the car fell off on the road. He squatted on the ground in the busy street and put the chain on the car in embarrassment. People passing by would look at him. He blushed and said He couldn't tell if the car had lost its chain or the eyes of passers-by made him feel more uncomfortable.

But he has something more to worry about, his fear of being late.After fixing the car chain, he ran all the way and finally arrived at the gate of the school.Then he saw Su Nianqing.

Su Nianqing was getting out of a black luxury car. He had heard that the brand cost at least several million.

Su Nianqing, who got off the luxury car, was wearing a clean white shirt, with soft black hair and fair skin.With a nice smile on his face, he waved to the people in the car, and then carried the drawing board half as tall as him on his back.

His hands are beautiful, fair and slender, and it looks like they haven't done rough work.

At that time, the original body was sweating profusely on the bike because he was in a hurry, just so as not to be late.And Su Nianqing, who got off the luxury car, had a gentle and beautiful smile, he was not in a hurry, and his every move was extremely elegant.

The original body couldn't help shrinking his black and oily hands, feeling that Su Nianqing was like an angel, which made him feel ashamed.

Then he heard someone call that boy's name, he heard it clearly, and wrote it down, so it turned out that his name was Su Nianqing.

He didn't know which words it was at the time, but later he asked his classmates based on his impressions, and he easily got the three words "Su Nianqing".

The original body wrote: "It turns out that he is so famous, he is much better than I thought, I am so envious."

From Chu Yan's point of view, at this time, the original body still felt envious of Su Nianqing.He seemed to regard Su Nianqing as a kind of sustenance, a direction for him to work hard.

The following diaries basically have Su Nianqing's name on every entry, both positive and negative.Chu Yan didn't look any further, he was a little bit embarrassed.

Closing the diary, Chu Yan suddenly felt that it didn’t matter whether this was the novel world or not, because it looked like a real, flesh-and-blood world. There are so many exhilarating reasons for the past.

Chu Yan sat in a daze for a while, then he took out the lighter and lit Yuan's diary on fire.

In the twilight, the fire was blazing, and the paper burned quickly, and the words gradually turned into ashes.

Chu Yan let out a breath, took the dustpan and broom on the garbage truck parked in the corner, swept the ashes into the dustpan, took out the plastic bag from the small shop from his schoolbag, and poured the ashes into the bag , then fastened and thrown into the garbage truck.

-

When Chu Yan returned home, Wang Mei was already at home, and the aroma of stewed ribs came from the kitchen.

Hearing Chu Yan's door opening, Wang Mei leaned out of the kitchen in surprise, "Did Yanyan come back so early today?"

Chu Yan said "um", "I want to study at home today."

While talking, he squatted down to change his shoes.

This is a very small house, with only two bedrooms and one living room. There is no expensive furniture in the house. Basically, half of it is taken back by Wang Mei who picked up unwanted items from the owner's house when she was cleaning. Wang Mei cleaned up very neatly.

Wang Mei had already come out of the kitchen. She was wearing an apron, and her hands were still wet. After wiping the apron, she was about to carry Chu Yan's schoolbag, "It's good to learn at home, but I thought you'd I also came back late, so it hasn't been long since I stewed the ribs." She asked again, "Have you eaten, Yanyan? Are you hungry?"

Chu Yan had already changed into his slippers. He avoided Wang Mei's hand and smiled, "Mom, I can carry it on my back. It's not heavy." Then he answered Wang Mei's question, "I haven't eaten yet, but I haven't eaten yet. Hungry." He sniffed at the end and boasted with shining eyes, "Mom's stewed pork ribs are delicious!"

Wang Mei was surprised by Chu Yan's good looks today. If she was not sure about Yanyan, she would find her annoying and unhappy, but she couldn't help but want to ask more questions, which made the relationship between mother and child more and more tense. .

She wiped her hands with the apron again, and the expression on her face couldn't conceal her joy. She hadn't seen her son's cheerful and lovely appearance for a long time.

She said excitedly, "How can you do it without eating? I'll cook a few dishes and eat dinner first. I'll serve you ribs when the ribs are ready."

"Okay, then let's eat together." Chu Yan smiled with his eyes bent.

He naturally knew that Wang Mei's stewed ribs soup was just for him to eat at home after studying at night. If he didn't come back, Wang Mei might just eat some leftovers.

Wang Mei had already gone to the kitchen, and when she thought about it, she turned her head and told Chu Yan, "If you are hungry, Yanyan, eat some biscuit mats first, I have to wait here for a while."

Chu Yan heard the sound of washing rice in the kitchen, he sighed silently, then went into the bedroom and hung his schoolbag on the desk and chair.

For dinner, Wang Mei made roasted cowpeas, fried tofu and twice-cooked pork, and Chu Yan ate very happily.

He was always a foodie, and Wang Mei's cooking skills were not bad, so Chu Yan ate two bowls of rice contentedly.

At the dinner table, Wang Mei looked at Chu Yan, hesitated for a long time before asking, "Yanyan is in a good mood today? Did something good happen?"

Chu Yan thought about it, and felt that he should vaccinate Wang Mei in advance, so he said, "It's a good thing, I finally found a suitable learning method today, and I feel that learning is not as difficult as before."

Wang Mei was very happy to hear that, and picked several pieces of meat for Chu Yan, "I said that Yanyan is the smartest, and your teacher always praised you in junior high school."

……

Chu Yan got up early the next day, and when he rode to school, there were still few people on campus.

He parked the car, and when he walked out of the carport, he suddenly heard someone calling him. Looking back for the sound, he saw a chubby little fat man running towards him panting.

It's not who Xiao Chengcheng is.

Xiao Chengcheng was exhausted when he ran to Chu Yan, resting on his knees, "Chu Yan, you walk so fast, I almost couldn't keep up."

Chu Yan patted Xiao Chengcheng on the back, a little puzzled, "I remember you don't live on campus, why did you come in from the outside?"

Xiao Chengcheng said "Oh", "Don't mention it, my mother went back to China on a business trip yesterday and took me out to live." His chubby little face was wrinkled together, "I was quite happy at first, who knows She woke me up early in the morning, said she was going to a meeting and dropped me off at school, alas, I haven't had enough sleep yet!"

Chu Yan was amused by Xiao Chengcheng's exaggerated expression.

Xiao Chengcheng's parents both work abroad, and he usually lives at school and goes back to his grandparents' house on weekends.

Chu Yan is quite envious, he hasn't lived in school yet.

"Oh, by the way," Xiao Chengcheng said again, "Chu Yan, have you written your homework? If you have written it, let me copy it!"

Chu Yan was a little shocked.

He glanced at Xiao Chengcheng and asked slowly, "I'm the last one and you're the second one from the bottom. Are you copying my homework?"

Chu Yan: The cat is shocked
