old lily no spring

Ge Hua, who had two days off on November [-], still went to the sports school to practice basketball for a day, and after rushing home in the afternoon, he helped the family collect the leftover corn.It is not impossible to ask someone in the village who has a machine to help, but the market is to pay.Wu Fang calculated that there were only a few acres of land, enough for three people.She and Ziwei worked for most of the day, and it was almost four o'clock when Ge Hua came over with her bag on her back, and complained, "For nothing, you are such a big man, you don't know how to help the family when you go out for a day."

Ge Hua didn't speak, put down his bag, rolled up his sleeves and started working.Ziwei glanced at her mother and saw that she was still looking at her second sister, so she turned her back to Wu Fang. "Mom is in a bad mood. Erkang got into a fight with someone in the store and got into a mess."

Skillfully breaking off the leaves of the corn, Ge Hua threw the golden corn into the basket, "What happened next?"

"Today it was said that the family entrusted someone to get it out. Erkang was afraid that he would not be able to stay in the store. His parents asked him to go home in the next two days and go out after the year." Ziwei rubbed the corn in her palm and looked at the corn. On the road at the end of the cornfield, the orange sunset was burning blood all around, and she wanted to go out too.

"Second sister, aren't you going out in January? I want to go too." Ziwei asked Ge Hua in a low voice.

Ge Hua just heard today from the horse coach of the sports school that starting from next year, even first-level athletes will not be given extra points in the college entrance examination.Her confidence in getting into E University was weakened again in an instant.My heart has been depressed by this matter.On the way home today, I checked the sports single enrollment plan of the Polytechnic University, and found that I had thought things too simply: she always thought it was a "special recruitment", and there was a lot of freedom in choosing majors.In fact, the special recruits are aimed at athletes with outstanding achievements, many of whom are national brands.For Ge Hua, her choice was "single-entry". After passing the qualification review, she had to take the college entrance examination. Although the score requirements were lower, she only had the option of "economic and trade management" as a major.She became more and more hesitant about applying for the Polytechnic University.

Looking at her younger sister's longing eyes, Ge Hua was reluctant and guilty: it was Ziwei who helped her with a lot of housework over the past year, so she was able to participate in training camps and competitions, and she had a lot more energy in her studies.Think of it as taking her out on a trip, and Ge Hua also wanted to take the opportunity of participating in the single-recruitment interview to see Teacher Lu.After eating with Teacher Lu on their birthday, they never saw each other again, and Teacher Lu's words in the message seemed a little cold. "Ba——" Ge Hua was distracted and broke a piece of corn.

"I'll eat this one tonight." She threw the corn into another basket, "I'll take you there." Ge Hua touched Ziwei's head, a few corn silks stuck to her younger sister's head, and she helped her remove it .

Ziwei jumped up happily, and Ge Hua gave her a wink, "Shhh—" Parents should not know about this, because they have kept Ziwei's ID card tightly hidden.

After six o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark, and the mother and daughter finally harvested all the corn.Ge Tianbao happened to be driving home in a truck, and he picked them up in the car, and Ge Hua handed them baskets to him.Ziwei wanted to help, but Ge Hua refused, "You're tired today, I'm fine."

She and her father have never talked very much. At the beginning, Ge Tianbao took over the baskets of corn that Ge Hua lifted up to his shoulders, and it was easy. Pull the corn basket to the cart.Ge Hua saw it, and she squatted and lifted the last two baskets of corn above her head and pushed them into the cart.

"Get in the car." Ge Tianbao greeted the mother and daughter.Ge Hua and Ziwei didn't squeeze into the driver's cab, but sat beside the railing of the truck, leaning against the frame and looking at the stars and lights on the plain.In the car, Wu Fang and Ge Tianbao probably had an unpleasant quarrel after saying a few words, and they shut up after being yelled at.Ziwei hugged her knees in a daze, looked up at the second sister, and muttered when she was almost home, "Second sister, you don't talk to me very much now." Ge Hua smiled and patted Ziwei's head lovingly , "Second sister is busy."

In the past, when the second sister was at home, Ziwei still had someone to chat with.With the second sister sometimes going out for more than a month, Ziwei is the only child left at home.Her father left early and returned late, and even at home, he didn't seem to be able to see her.Mother's patience with her is much worse than before. Being scolded is a daily routine, and it is peaceful if she is not beaten.Sometimes she regrets that she didn't study hard for the exam in junior high school, maybe she can go to high school with good grades in the exam.There are not many girls of her age in the village. They either go to study or work part-time, and some of them get married earlier than the eldest sister.What will you do next?Thinking of Ziwei, she was at a loss. When the second sister was not at home, she sneaked into her room and looked through the textbooks and notes that the second sister had used, but most of them couldn't understand.

The car had just parked in the yard, Ge Hua was busy moving the corn, Ziwei had already jumped out of the car and walked into the kitchen habitually.Steam the staple food for dinner first, then move the vegetables to be eaten outside the kitchen and wash them.Ge Hua practiced golf all day today, and was busy for a long time in the afternoon. She held her waist and let out a secret breath, and decided not to go for a run in the fields tonight.My father was probably tired too, sitting under the eaves of the yard smoking a cigarette, while my mother dragged a basket of unpicked peanuts and sat beside him to work.If there is no such thing as Erkang, they will talk about the son of this family who passed the civil servant examination in the next town, and the daughter of that family who married in the next province for three years, and does not visit her parents during the holidays.

Apart from this, they have never rested for a day.During dinner, I stared at the old color TV that took up most of the screen. Watching two episodes of TV series was regarded as entertainment for the whole family.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Ge Hua started to make papers according to the time.She didn't take make-up classes last summer vacation, and although she dropped to fifth in the grade in the first mock exam after returning to school, teacher Liu, the class teacher, was surprised, "Ge Hua, we have to get up in the rankings next month, let the next class take a look at us." The tiger in the class just took a nap." Ge Hua likes this description, and she would rather be a beast than the Gecun people who live like tireless animals.

Erkang didn't want the dilapidated desk. Inside the jar of protein powder that had been rubbed off, there were a few clusters of agaricus flowers picked yesterday. The golden five-petaled flowers were still full of energy.Ge Hua only glanced at it, and then he was so focused that he couldn't hear any sound.Ziwei sat on the bed behind her and played with her sister's mobile phone.

It was almost twelve o'clock when Ge Hua finished a set of math papers and a set of comprehensive theory questions.She stretched her waist, sleepiness came quietly.

The battery of the mobile phone has been left to 20% by Ziwei, and she fell asleep lying on Ge Hua's bed with the mobile phone.Taking the phone from his sister to charge it up, Ge Hua gently shook Ziwei, "Third brother, go back to sleep in your own room."

Her bed is small, and she is tall, so she has to curl up when she sleeps, or her feet stick out of the quilt.

Ziwei opened her eyes in confusion, "No, Second Sister, I will sleep with you tonight."

Alright, Ge Hua covered her with the quilt, rubbed her eyes, picked up the English materials and leaned against the wall to read for a while.Ziwei woke up, "Are you still watching?"

"Well, it's just one o'clock." Ge Hua said.

In the quiet room, there is only the coaxing sound of old fluorescent lamps, and the two sides of the lamp tubes are already dark.Ge Hua's eyesight had deteriorated a lot in the past two years, she looked up at the lamp, and wiped her eyes again.

"I thought I could talk to you at night." Ziwei was a little aggrieved. She stayed at home all day and always felt the surroundings were cold.No one cared what she did, what she thought.The two black-haired pigs in the pigsty are more lively than her.

Putting down the book, Ge Hua thought for a while and patted Swallow, "Go inside." After turning off the light, she also got under the covers. "I'm going to take an exam at the University of Science and Technology in January. When the time comes, you will do more work in advance, and your parents will talk less. Let's go to City H to stay for a few days."

"I want to see the Bund and the Pearl Tower." Swallow was excited.

Ge Hua has never been there. Although he stayed for several days last time, except for the competition and review, the only two times he went out were to eat with Teacher Lu. "I haven't been there either, haha, it happens to be together."

After thinking about the trip in January next year, Yanzi suddenly said, "Sister, I think life is boring."

"Huh?" Ge Hua turned his head to look at his sister in the dark.

"Why do you think my parents gave birth to me?" Ziwei's question made Ge Hua silent. "They gave me away, maybe I will be different now. They just love the fourth child, as if there is only the fourth child." Parents seem to revolve around two things, money and son.

"Do you think they will marry me?" she asked.

Ge Hua felt pain in her heart, she took a deep breath, "Are you willing?"

"Is it better to be married than to be at home?" Ziwei thought about the eldest sister, "Anyway, they all work in the same way, and they won't be scolded all the time after being married, right? Look at the eldest sister, she is a daughter-in-law anyway, and her mother-in-law paid her back last month. I bought clothes and went to the temple to play.” The temple Ziwei mentioned was a temple in the next city where incense is said to be very spiritual.

"That's for my grandson." Ge Hua's nose overflowed with cold air, "Ziwei, do you still want to study?"

The younger sister was silent, and after a while, "I'm not that material." But she wanted to learn a musical instrument, that is, the guzheng she saw on TV. She sat down in front of the piano, and flicked her fingertips, "People are like gods. I think it's pretty."

"Sister, I used to envy you very much, and I was also jealous." Ziwei said, "Because someone sponsored you to go to school, and you went to the city to learn basketball. Later, when I saw that my mother didn't dare to beat you, because of your physique..." She squeezed Under the second sister's arm, "I won't be bullied."

"Later I felt that I couldn't do what you did. You are smart and have good grades. You can sit there for hours without moving. I can't do it. I want to do something else after reading a book." Ziwei smiled, "You are so tall and So much taller than me." In fact, Ziwei is also more than 1.7 meters tall, Ge Hua thought, maybe her sister is also a piece of sports material.

"Sister, what do you want to study in college?" Ziwei's words were also a question that Ge Hua had thought about many times. She was a little confused about choosing a major, and wanted to ask Teacher Lu, but she was afraid of disturbing her.

"I haven't thought about it yet." It's rare for people to do what they want to do and learn, but when it comes to the choice, Ge Hua finds that he knows nothing.She heard that it is easy to find a job after studying computer, and she also heard the teacher talk about the majors chosen by other seniors, such as medicine, teacher education, and materials science.Ge Hua became more and more confused the more he listened, because they were not basketballs and could be touched and felt carefully.

Maybe I have really been alienated from Ziwei in the past two years, Ge Hua patted his sister on the back, "Sister will inquire more, if you want to in the future, I will send you to study and learn that guzheng after my sister makes money."

"How old should I be then?" Ziwei thought, "It's too old."

Ge Hua frowned, "How can we grow old? How we live depends on what we think."
