Chapter 6: The Parting Meeting

The summer vacation after the high school entrance examination was so long, I felt like a pig that had eaten and slept, and I had nothing to do every day. My dad went to work at Liu Yang's house again. His current job is to help the factory look at things, collect and pick. A few times he asked me if I wanted to go to Liu Yang's house with him. Although the relationship is relatively good, how can I play with him. So I haven't been there. Watching TV at home every day, writing and writing messy texts.

As usual, I was bored lying on the desk in front of the window, looking out the window on the summer morning. The sun was as white as ever with a golden yellow, shining on a few of the trees of the door, casting patches of shade. In the middle of summer, the fragrance of the camphor tree is gone, leaving only the slightly shiny green leaves, which seem to be swaying without a while.

"Why is Yangyang here?" I saw my mother, who was picking vegetables under the camphor tree, standing up and greeting her affectionately.

"I'm looking for Xia Xue, is she there?" It was Liu Yang's voice.

"Yes, in the house." My mom looked out the window.

I was about to walk out, and Liu Yang had already strode in.

"What are you doing every day?" When you see me, you ask.

"It's boring. What about you? I retreated to my desk and snuggled against it.

"It's boring too. I'm bored every year on vacation. Liu Yang looked at the notebook on my desk and said, "Writing a diary?" ”

"No, I never keep a diary. It's a mess of things that were written before, turn it over and take a look. I said as I put my notebook back in its place.

"A lot of classmates are at Gurry's house today, I'll pick you up," Liu Yang said, sitting at his desk, taking out his notebook and reading it.

"I'm not going!" Without thinking about it, I said for sure. Then he added: "He will be unhappy if I go, and he will not be happy when I have no face." ”

"Gurry asked me to pick you up." Liu Yang smiled and looked at me, and said, "Look at you, Gurry's mouth is pouting as soon as he says it." He usually teases you, sees that you are angry, and deliberately finds you to fork. “

"He thinks I'm talking too much and talking loudly, so I'll sew my mouth shut!" I retorted angrily, "Zhang Xiaohong talks more than me, and her voice is louder than mine, why doesn't he tease her." ”

"He likes Zhang Xiaohong, can it be the same?" Maybe afraid that my mother would hear it, Liu Yang said in a low voice.

"Ahh Does he like Zhang Xiaohong? The taste is not ordinary! When I heard this secret, I was in a good mood, looking at Liu Yang and giggling.

"Zhang Xiaohong has gone, are you going or not?" Liu Yang asked me urgently.

"Go, go. Such a fun party must go. With that, I changed into a new pair of sandals and asked my mother, "Mom, is it feasible for me to go to the same school to play?" "Before my mother agreed, I ran to Liu Yang's bicycle.

"I'll have lunch here and then go play." My mother said to Liu Yang very politely. And busily cut a big watermelon for him and handed it to him.

"No, let's eat at the same school." Liu Yang said as he took the watermelon. After two bites, I went to the front of the car.

"Help me hold it," he said, handing me the watermelon.

"Then let's go after eating." I didn't pick up.

"Take it, wait until it's hot." He gave me the melons. I got on the bike and walked away with me, who was already sitting in the back.

"Change your clothes!" My mom ran out of the house and shouted at me.

It turns out that Gurry's home is not far from my home. Leave our village and walk another half mile in the direction of another village. It's on the edge of a reservoir. We walked upstream along the reservoir.

"Eat the melon and leave. My hands are sour, too. I said. He found a shady spot and stopped. Take the watermelon and break it in half. He handed me the half that he hadn't eaten. I shook my head, sat down on a large rock, and fanned the wind with my hand. Liu Yang finished eating in a few bites, and before the last bite was swallowed, we set off again. Gurry's home lives right next to the reservoir. When I was about to arrive, I saw a few classmates fishing by the reservoir with their hats in the distance. I thought it was fun, so I wanted to get to Gurry's house early.

"Hurry up!" I urged Liu Yang.

"Uphill, how fast." Liu Yang said helplessly.

"Ah, you can't ride fast uphill?" I asked him as if I didn't understand.

"You don't know how to ride a bike and you haven't studied physics, have you? It's stupid. Liu Yang turned his head and laughed at me for having no common sense.

I jumped off the slow bike and ran on my own.

"You're stupid too. You can get me off! I said loudly and proudly. Then I saw that Zhang Xiaohong took a small triangular watermelon and ran to pick me up.

"How do you know I'm thirsty?" I took the watermelon and ate it.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Xiaohong asked me. Before I could answer, she whispered in my ear, "Be careful, Gurry!" ”

"What the is going on?" I forgot to whisper and just asked. Zhang Xiaohong glared at me fiercely, ignored me in anger, and walked to the other side of the reservoir to watch them fish.

"What the happened to Gurry?" I whispered close to Liu Yang's ear and asked.

"Not really. It's good for us. Liu Yang said and pointed secretly. I saw an aunt who was preparing lunch, and I thought it was normal.

"Xia Xue, you're here. Do you want to eat a piece of watermelon? Gurry greeted me and patted Liu Yang.

"No, thank you." I'm very polite to say. This is the first time I had such a friendly conversation with Gurry.

There were more than a dozen classmates from Gurry's house, all of whom were from our class. I saw that Wang Feifei was also here, helping Gurry's mother pick vegetables. She happened to see me too, and called me over to help, and I had to go reluctantly.

"Here we go." Gurry's mother saw me approaching, greeted me, and looked me up and down. I immediately remembered Xiaohong's words, so I smiled at her unnaturally and didn't speak. Then he squatted down to help Wang Feifei pick "celery". I picked it so carefully that I plucked every leaf. When you think about doing things in other people's homes, you can't be so-so.

"What are you doing?" Fei Fei asked suddenly.

"Pick vegetables! What's wrong? "I was overwhelmed by what she asked.

"This is coriander, it's the one that eats the leaves, just pick the dead leaves." Wang Feifei demonstrated it to me. I felt that Gurry was staring at me all the time. My face was hot and red, like blood was pouring all over my body.

"Auntie, I'll use this bucket to hold fish." At this moment, an even more terrible voice appeared. As soon as I heard that Yang An was talking, I begged God to make me disappear. I really realize: I hope there is a crack in the ground that can get into.

"Yang An, Xia Xue is so fun, she can't even tell the difference between coriander and celery." That Wang Feifei actually used me to find a topic with Yang An!

"It's no wonder that English words are often confused." I didn't dare to look up at his expression, I just lowered my head and picked the coriander according to the method that Fei Fei had taught me just now.

"I'd like to see you fishing, too." Wang Feifei said and walked behind Yang An, leaving me with red ears and red ears.

"Actually, I want to go too!" I thought to myself. But now in this situation, how embarrassing to go. Besides, you can't put this dish and leave it unpicked.

"Which one do you see?" I heard very muffled speech. Looking for prestige, I saw Gurry's mother and a young sister-in-law chopping vegetables saying, "Could it be the little girl who picked vegetables just now?" ”

"You, pay attention to who he is talking to, they don't dare to come to Ming in this grade." The sister-in-law was analyzing a little louder. I lowered my head and pricked up my ears to hear it.

"Did you see that?" Gurry's asked.

"Almost, just that ......" I couldn't hear the other behind it. I instinctively looked up at them, and met their strange eyes. The look made my whole body hairy, and I couldn't help but shiver. Quickly lower your head and pick the remaining vegetables. I see, they should have observed that my relationship with Gurry was not like that of the average classmate. Just sensitively guessing, I was in love with Gurry or liked something. Thinking of this, and thinking of what just happened, I really can't bear it. I took the food I had picked, put them by their side and walked away.

Standing on the side of the road and looking across the reservoir, several of them were over there. Yang An was intently looking at the surface of the water, waiting for the fish to take the bait. The nasty Zhang Xiaohong is flipping his earthworm. Wang Feifei stood on his left back, also quietly looking at the water. The calm water reflects the inky mountains; Yang An, who was holding a fishing rod and waiting; And the girl who looked like a lake next to him.

"Come and play!" Liu Yang, who was also fishing, waved at me and called me over.

Hearing Liu Yang's shout, Yang An raised his head and looked at me. From such a distance, I couldn't see his expression clearly. I didn't blush, but my heart was activated all at once, and I felt it beating. I stepped over the slippery boulders at the entrance to the reservoir and walked to them. Passing behind Yang An, I saw two small fish swimming timidly in his basin. When Zhang Xiaohong saw me coming, she followed me.

"Why don't you play with mud anymore?"

"Mud is no fun for you. Besides, I'm playing with earthworms in the mud. "She hugged my waist and shook me very affectionately.

"It's not still mud."

The shade of the trees in the place chosen by Liu Yang was very thick, and with the water vapor blowing from the water surface, he suddenly felt cool. I found an open space and sat down. Zhang Xiaohong ran over to look at Liu Yang's fish bucket.

"Wow, this one is so big!" Zhang Xiaohong exclaimed loudly. And then they looked at it too.

"It's pretty big." Gurry ran over and looked at it. Then he walked over to me.

Don't, don't come and talk to me! I thought to myself, if they saw the two of us talking alone, wouldn't it be even more unclear?

"Zhang Xiaohong, come here, I have something to tell you." I hurriedly called Zhang Xiaohong over.

"What?" Zhang Xiaohong ran over. So they stood together in front of me, waiting for my words. I was speechless for a while, and if I didn't speak, Gurry would definitely think that I was still unwilling to talk to him, and deliberately called Zhang Xiaohong. Speak, what do you say?

"He likes you!" Watch them wait. I couldn't think of anything to say for a moment.

They looked at each other for a moment. Zhang Xiaohong blushed.

"See if I don't kill you!" Gurry reacted with a fierce look.

"Help!" I held my head in my hands, closed my eyes, and cried out for help.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yang rushed over at once. Squatted down and asked me.

"He's going to hit me." As soon as I heard that Liu Yang was coming, I had a little bottom in my heart.

"What do you want to do!" Liu Yang pushed Gurry away.

"You ask himself!" Gurry walked away without looking back.

Zhang Xiaohong was still standing there stupidly looking at me. Seeing that Gurry was gone, he reacted. I was embarrassed to go back too. The rest of my classmates thought something had happened to me. They all ran over.

"What's wrong?" Yang An came to me and asked.

When I looked at this scene, I knew that I was in trouble, and I also knew how boring and boring I was. He bowed his head and said no more.

She just told Zhang Xiaohong that Gurry liked her. Gurry couldn't cope for a while. Liu Yang explained for me.

On the way back to dinner, I really wanted to run home, but knowing that it would be even worse. But he followed closely behind Liu Yang.

"Help me take it." Yang An passed by to my right and handed me his water glass.

"Oh." I instinctively agreed, and instinctively took the glass. He kept walking on my right side.

I lowered my head and stole a sneak look at his bucket-carrying hand. His hands are big but not fat, the skin on his hands is very white, and the green tendons on the back of his hands can be seen in white, and the joints are pink and red, which are a pair of hands with bony strength. Our hands were so close that it was like they would touch at any moment. There is always an urge in my heart to grab that hand and never let go. It's more about begging that hand to reach over. I looked at the cup in my hand again. The transparent glass holds half a glass of water that shines brightly, like a crystal shining in the sun.

There were two tables at their house that day, one for the adults and the other for us children.

"Come, to our diligent junior high school." Gurry, the squad leader, stood up and said.

"Everyone has to say a word to junior high school today. I just said that. Now let's start with Liu Yang's side. Gurry continued.

"Junior high school is over, but there is one thing that is not over yet, and I will work harder!" Liu Yang stood up and said.

"Xia Xue, it's your turn." Gurry spoke to me in a very friendly tone. I think he's gone. My heart suddenly felt much lighter.

"Meet the most beautiful of you." Yes, thank you for meeting the most beautiful of you in junior high school.

I remember what Xiaohong said: "Although there is no best ending, you can choose the best start." ”

"The most beautiful poem." Wang Feifei said a little shyly. I guess she said yes, the sentence Yang An said in the bedroom: "Mei Feidong is proud and cold, Fang Fei Fei is Mizhang".

"Our shared memories." Yang An that day had a rare bright smile......

On the way back, I sat on Liu Yang's bicycle. Looking at the scenery around me, I slowly left behind.

"Shall I go and see you?" Liu Yang didn't look back, just asked me.

"Of course." Who, will you come to see me? I don't know when I'll see you again on this day. Maybe half a year, maybe a year, maybe half a life, maybe a lifetime. Or never again. I'm reluctant to give up, and that's the end of my liking......
