I wait for you to see through the scenery

After dinner Tang Zheng sent Zhou Yao home first, even though the restaurant clearly stated that the distance to Qu Jia's house was much closer.

Only after sending Zhou Yao away first can I have a few words with Qu Jia alone.

Although the three are buddies, the Three Musketeers, the relationship can still be distinguished from closeness and closeness; whether they were born and raised on the same mountain, or were grafted and "married" from other mountains the day after tomorrow.So, there are some things that Qu Jia can say to Tang Zheng, but he just doesn't want to say it to Zhou Yao.Just hold back.

The road is slippery in the snow, the sky is gradually darkening, the colors of the traffic lights at the intersections become blurred, and sometimes it is difficult to tell where you are.

"The driver is really steady," Qu Jia said.

"I drive too much, I'm used to any bad weather." Tang Zheng said.

"When I can take the exam, I'll take one too. Take me with you when you go out to work." Qu Jia said.

"What do you want?" Tang Zheng took a deep look at Qu Jia, "Do you need it?"

"It's worth it." Qu Jia said with a calm expression, "Your father has been laid off, and I think my mother will soon be too. The factory is about to be dismantled into ruins and sold."

"Don't even think about it yet." Tang Zheng said.

"I'm a man and I support my family!" Qu Jia said very simply, "Raise my mother."

There is a layer of breath on the car window, and behind the fog outside the window is a hazy street scene. More restaurants, discos and entertainment centers near Sanlitun have been built up one after another.Snowflakes are falling all over the sky, the finely crystalline ice floating in the sky is really white, but there is muddy black snow water flowing along the street.This is called the difference between cloud and mud.

The group of teenagers running under the clouds really seemed to have grown up overnight.

The two of them sat in the car, Tang Zheng lit another cigarette.

Anyway, Zhou Yao had already got off the car, otherwise Qu Jia would have been reluctant to let Zhou Yao smoke second-hand in the closed compartment in winter, and just now when he went up, he choked out Tang Zheng's cigarette.

One of them guarded a car window, letting the cold air pour in and hit his face.Stretch out your hand to play a flick, watch the soot and snowflakes drifting away together, and miss the unforgettable person in your heart.

Tang Zheng stretched out his left hand from the car window, and rolled up the cuff of the down jacket, revealing a section of red knot.

While waiting for the red light, the man leaned over, opened the storage box in front of the passenger seat, and took warm gloves.On the neck, what fell out of the collar of the clothes was still the white fluorite pendant, and Qu Jia saw it.

"They gossip about you at school," Qu Jia finally asked, "Did they do it?...Did you be wronged for that?"

This kind of topic is only discussed behind Zhou Yao's back.

"Me and Xiaobai? Have we done it?" Tang Zheng sneered, and glanced at Qu Jia, "What did they say about me? Playing hooligans to bully girls, right?"

"When I got into the game, I was directly forced to admit that rape was attempted." Tang Zheng said, "I won't admit what I haven't done."

Qu Jia cursed "Cao fuck".

"Can I bully her?" The expression was indescribable, and Tang Zheng's eyes were slightly red, "No, I didn't do it. If I just want to come to that, I'll have a blast, and I won't find a girl like her."

"I was, let her give me a fuck..." Tang Zheng couldn't help laughing, the taste of the memory may be quite sweet, "I didn't touch her, believe it or not."

"Trust." Qu Jia said.

Because Tang Zheng was sincere, just like Qu Jia was sincere to Zhou Yao.Just for the sake of having a good time, why go through such a rough and difficult journey if you can't find someone to have a good time!

Tang Zheng was suddenly happy: "Don't just talk about me, what about you, have you already dealt with Yao'er?"

Qu Jia snorted: "I'm not willing to do it."

"How long have you been here!" Tang Zheng shook his shoulders and smiled, "You two have known each other since wearing crotch pants, right? Stop pretending to be an innocent boy in front of me."

"Zhou Yao is an innocent boy, he is pure." Qu Jia's eyes showed tenderness, "Why should I bully others? I don't do that."

Tang Zheng had another laugh, and the second half of the joke was too embarrassing to say: If you don't do it, I'm afraid Zhou Yao will hold back and want to fuck you one day, you are a fool, let's do it first... Judging by Zhou Yao's figure, he is definitely not weak , you may not be able to fight in bed, do you think the two of you are like me and a girl?

Qu Jia turned his face away to blow the cold wind, and was tortured continuously by Tang Zheng, his ears turned red: "I don't want to touch him, so I didn't think about coming over for that."

Tang Zheng nodded: "Very manly?"

You have your self-esteem, don't I?

Qu Jia said: "If I don't turn out to be a human in the future, I won't touch him. I won't take advantage of him. I'll deal with him when I'm worthy of Zhou Yao and can make Zhou Yao my wife."

……

The business card that Zhou Yao's mother gave Tang Zheng was useless, and Tang Zheng didn't go to higher education to study music.That is more from the spiritual support and comfort that a mother can express.

But the business card that Zhou Yao gave Tang Zheng later was quite useful.

Qu Jia was very surprised: "Why do you have Lu Jun'er's father's business card?"

Zhou Yao said: "I just asked for it by the way. When I met him, I asked for one. Haven't you asked for it?"

Qu Jia turned his face away: "No."

Why does it look so intimate and warm...

Zhou Yao said with a smile: "You don't know, people who have printed business cards like to give out business cards to others! He insisted on giving me one..."

Qu Jia snorted, "Really."

He was also embarrassed to get too close to Lu Jun'er's father.Strictly speaking, that is also his mother's ex-object, "ex-boyfriend", right?It is said that those two old guys have already forgotten it. Comrade Wang may have gone to the home of other middle-aged lesbians who are divorced or widowed in the factory, and sent roast chicken and cured fish... He what can i say

He instinctively sensed that his mother might have regretted this incident, extremely regretted it. He didn't expect that Lu Jun'er's father would really not come if he couldn't come, and he was also a man with a decisive temper. If he really died, it was the only time in his life that he didn't procrastinate, and died simply and happily.But what can he say.

Then I heard that Tang Zheng went to look for Wang Guisheng with his business card in his pocket. Anyway, he was young and energetic, so he went to work in Lao Wang's contractor team.

In the blink of an eye, the winter vacation passed, and their school started. Because Wang Guisheng contracted the greening cultivation and daily maintenance of several nearby schools, he took on more and more projects. In those two days, he also led a group of people to work around the school.

"Hey, so who is his father?" Zhou Yao gave Qu Jia a wink.

Qu Jia had to leave school with her bag in hand, and now she spent more time walking with Xiao Jiang and the others than Zhou Yao, so she deliberately dragged her behind and walked slowly towards the school gate.Xiao Jiang took out a food plastic bag from her schoolbag: "I don't want to take home the leftovers from my lunch, do you want to eat?"

At a glance, Qu Jia saw that it was Sichuan-style spicy pork knuckle, so why not eat it if you have something for free, and didn't care if it was leftover from lunch.

Xiao Jiang also smiled, walked with a little bowed legs, swayed around, occasionally bumped Qu Jia's elbow, and rubbed it again.

"Aren't the people in your place all scruffy?" Qu Jia said suddenly.

"My legs are different from yours?" Xiao Jiang said.

"What do you think?" Qu Jia glanced at him.

"That's right, it's not as long as your legs." Xiao Jiang said with a smile.

"Because it's bent, it can't be straightened." Qu Jia said harshly, "Take a board to straighten it for you, will it work?"

"There's nothing wrong with it!" Xiao Jiang shouted depressingly, "Qu Jia, you keep talking about me, why do you dislike me so much!"

"Don't keep rubbing against me, walk in a straight line." Qu Jia finally couldn't bear it, and took a big step back.

Xiao Jiang pouted and moved to the side.This kid really couldn't walk in a straight line, like a spinning top, it was always shaking up and down... Qu Jia frowned and felt dizzy.

Qu Jia had already caught sight of Zhou Yao's wink, and instead of leaning over enthusiastically, he sat on the back seat of his car in the bicycle formation under the poplar tree outside the school, ate a piece of candy, and stared blankly.

Zhou Yao pushed the cart and ran over to say "Hello, Uncle" and chat with Wang Guisheng.

Zhou Yao looked around: "My friend went to your company?"

"Here we come." Wang Guisheng nodded, "That's right, young and strong, willing to endure hardships, much stronger than us old guys with chronic diseases."

Zhou Yao hurriedly said: "Although he is an acquaintance and a friend of mine, you have to pay him a salary!"

"Nonsense!" Wang Guisheng said, "I can make people do it for nothing? I can pay as much as I want."

Zhou Yao nodded with satisfaction: "He may be short of money, but I just think it's easier to come to your place to work than to run out for a taxi."

"But we don't pay as much as taxis!" Wang Guisheng said bluntly, "He works at my place during the day, and he said he rents out night shifts at night."

"Ah?!" Upon hearing this, Zhou Yao immediately regretted giving Tang Zheng this job.

He still imagined the life of ups and downs in the rapids too easily.

After soaking in the honey pot for a long time, he still hasn't experienced it...

Zhou Yao hurriedly asked again: "He didn't come today?"

"Here we come." Wang Guisheng also lit a cigarette, "He must not enter this school."

Zhou Yao: "Oh."

Wang Guisheng didn't ask in detail, as if he knew everything, and understood everything: "That intersection outside the school, if you want to talk to him, go there."

Qu Jia was sitting on the back seat of the car, with good eyesight, he saw his buddy from a distance, and raised his hand to say hello to Tang Zheng.

If Tang Zheng didn't enter the school gate, he didn't want to frighten the school leaders. He just sat in the driver's seat of the big truck of their contracting team.He drove here to help Master Wang.

That day, by coincidence, Ye Xiaobai also walked to the school gate, looking up at the distant sky with his head held high, and the schoolbag was carried by the female classmate beside him.

His complexion is very fair, and he has become thinner recently.Ye Xiaobai wore long trousers under the down jacket. The trousers were loose and he could never find the shape of his legs. This was because he was too thin. Once the strong wind passed, he would float away like a piece of white paper in the wind.

This was the occasional time when her driver was late, a few minutes late, and missed the "post".

The female student next to her kept looking for something to talk about, Ye Xiaobai's expression was indifferent, so she ignored her, letting the wind mess up her hair.

Ye Xiaobai turned his face away to look over there, his gaze suddenly froze, and his eyes were particularly good, and he saw it from a very, very far away.

Ye Xiaobai suddenly threw away the classmates beside him, gave up his schoolbag, and ran towards the intersection!

Ah, Zhou Yao turned his head and yelled in a low voice.

Qu Jia suddenly stood up from the back seat of the car, the mints fell out of his mouth, and fell into the ground if he failed to catch them.

There were sharp brakes and noisy voices at the entrance of the alley. Ye Xiaobai rushed straight across the intersection. Suddenly, he had never run so fast before. The white down jacket was very conspicuous in the traffic!It is also the crazy speed of a [-]-meter sprint, rushing to the truck in a few steps.

At that time, he and the person sitting in the driver's seat stared blankly and looked at each other suddenly.

Ye Xiaobai's originally blurred eyes suddenly appeared two clusters of flames, but the flames had never been extinguished. He asked loudly, "Are you driving to pick me up?"

Tang Zheng looked at the person: "..."

Ye Xiaobai shouted: "Tang Zheng, open the door!"

Tang Zheng said, "Xiaobai."

Ye Xiaobai said: "Tang Zheng, open the door, let me go in!"

The steps to the truck door were so high that the girl couldn't climb up without opening the door.

Tang Zheng put his hands out of the car window, at that moment a very intense and wild impulse definitely flashed in his eyes, enough to tear apart the obstacles in front of him and get rid of the obstructions on his shoulders, he was desperate, but he held back after all.He pinched Ye Xiaobai's shoulder: "Don't come up, go back quickly."

Ye Xiaobai looked very excited, and probably held back for many days, talking too much, and grabbed Tang Zheng's hand very hard: "I'm sorry, are you angry, I'm sorry!...I haven't said anything, I don't know what will happen in the end. How did it become like that, I don’t know why they have to fire you, I’m sorry..."

Tang Zheng might have seen that something was wrong, and shook his head: "Stop talking, talk about it later, your family has come to pick you up, hurry home."

"I don't want to go back to that house, I won't go home!" Ye Xiaobai shook his head, almost climbing the car window by the edge of the glass, hanging on the car door, it was extremely dangerous.

Tang Zheng leaned out from the car window, looked down, and supported Ye Xiaobai's head: "Don't be stupid, girl, you won't go to school anymore? You won't take the college entrance examination?"

This is not a movie, a passionate scene where a rich lady elopes with a poor boy for love, that's how it's done in movies, where are you going?

Tang Zheng said a few words of comfort during the moment when the street was full of noise: "Go back and study hard, first get into a good university, and then you can't study if I don't study. What can you do?!... Listen to my brother and go back."

In the evening, the intersection encountered artificial congestion, and many vehicles honked their horns to bypass the girl.Ye Xiaobai was standing in front of the truck, holding down the hot bonnet and not letting go.

Cars come and go, and they are in danger.

Zhou Yao also rushed across the road and grabbed him: "Go back Xiaobai, forget it, go back with me first..."

Her driver came, and it was impossible to run away.

Ye Xiaobai desperately tried to break free from Zhou Yao, but when he turned around, he slapped Zhou Yao, almost slapping Zhou Yao across the face.

Unexpectedly, when he was in a hurry, he could have such great strength. He slapped his face and slapped Zhou Yao, causing the stars in front of him to jump wildly.

Zhou Yao's temples and eye sockets turned red at the same time.He could only yell, Xiaobai, it's too dangerous for you to stand on the main road, it's all cars.

Ye Xiaobai scratched the hood of the car, tears streaming down his face: "Tang Zheng, I haven't broken up with you yet!...I never said goodbye!..."

I haven't heard her speak to anyone in school for three months, and I have accumulated strength for three months to shout this sentence.

Qu Jia was standing on the side of the road with his feet on the edge of the curb. He didn't move from the beginning to the end. He didn't go to help arrest people. He watched Zhou Yao carry Ye Xiaobai from one side of the road to the other side of the road...

The car of Ye Xiaobai's family has indeed arrived, fuck it, it's the black car he looks so familiar with.

Looking at it now, it is so dazzling, it is a solid cage made of black-gray iron shell.

Ye Xiaobai cried loudly, hugged Zhou Yao but refused to let go, and didn't want to go home.Zhou Yao hugged him and comforted him for a long time. The lower eyelids were originally shallow and soft-hearted, and they probably became moist with them.

Qu Jia's figure blended into the gray background of the surrounding buildings, motionless, biting his lower lip with the tips of his teeth.His gaze swept over Zhou Yao, then Xiaobai, and then at Tang Zheng.

The road ahead can be foreseen how muddy it is, and the faces around are so ferocious. I fell down, struggled, and crawled, but I still have to go forward and live up to my original oath.

None of us backed down, none of us wanted to turn back.

Can't go back?

The last bit of gray-black snow on the side of the street has retreated to Qu Jia's feet, piled up on the iron grate of the sewer, and is about to melt away.

But the wind was strong, easily blowing through his already cheap thin down jacket.

cold.It's so cold.

The low temperature has continued, and this winter seems to be unbearable. There is no end in sight, and I almost forget the temperature that was once covered by the sun.

……

That evening Qu Jia called Zhou Yao to go to Sister Fang's Internet cafe, a hut where there were no outsiders.He just hugged Zhou Yao, holding and wrapping tightly, as if he wanted to crush Zhou Yao's ribs and pinch them again, and put them on himself, so that Zhou Yao could become the stick on his body that represents life. About the ribs.After hugging for a full 15 minutes, he finally let go of Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao was frightened: "What's the matter?"

Qu Jia said: "It's okay, I'll hug the sun, and I won't be cold after a hug."

Tang Zheng was sitting in the truck at that time, and he also yelled at Qu Jia: "Help me take a look at her, don't make her get too excited."

Later, he specifically called Qu Jia Zhouyao, and also said in the text message: Dude, I entrusted you, Xiaobai looks very pale, isn't he in good health?You often go to see her.

Later they also heard that Ye Xiaobai may have suffered from moderate depression since the second half of the school year.

In many cases, it is due to personality, and after emotional setbacks, they are stimulated by the outside world.

What if a girl with Huang Xiaoxiao's personality was beaten by her parents?The big deal is just sitting on the ground and rolling and crying.Then?Then change a boyfriend in school, whoever is missing is still alive.

Ye Xiaobai often took medicine at school, and he was often in a trance. His test scores went from bad to worse, and he basically stopped going to inter-class exercises and physical education classes.

As far as parents are concerned, couldn't they see all the consequences and aftermath clearly at the beginning?However, some deep-rooted concept of cannibalism and the wrath of patriarchy are like two sharp knives, tearing apart not only a pure and romantic emotion in youth, but also the vigilance and clarity of being a parent.Too many people understand this truth, but too many people can't be tolerant.

Sometimes when Zhou Yao met after school, he sent Ye Xiaobai out of the school gate, and said a few words with great difficulty.

Sometimes I brought out a few comic books, and later gave my little game console to Ye Xiaobai.I was really sad, so I just read comics and played games.

"I'm sorry, Zhou Yao." Ye Xiaobai said softly.

"I'm sorry for what?" Zhou Yao said.

"I slapped you last time." Ye Xiaobai smiled faintly.

"You beat me so hard, you must have practiced it!" Zhou Yao touched his face in aggrieved manner, and smiled, "Who used to engage in domestic violence with all day long?"

"Are you talking about Tang Zheng? No way." Ye Xiaobai smiled again, "Because he couldn't bear to beat him domestically, he kept his energy and beat others."

"Xiaobai, listen to your elder brother Zheng," Zhou Yao said, "Let's talk about getting into college, the future will last forever!"

Ye Xiaobai nodded: "Zhou Yao, please do your best. You and Qu Jia must be well. We'll talk about it after we get into college."

……

At that time, Qu Jia was walking towards the school gate after school, seeing off the backs of Zhou Yao and Ye Xiaobai first.

He is not good at communicating with girls, he is not very good at speaking what is in his heart, especially he is not good at comforting others, he always says the opposite, so don't listen to classmate Qu Jia comforting anyone.So, to "look after" Ye Xiaobai for a buddy is to watch from a distance, so that the girl will not be bullied at school, that's all.

Then he stood at the gate of the school, watching Wang Guisheng and several workers connect the spray gun of the medicine can to the water pipe, spray medicine and fertilize the green belt in large areas, and then spread fertilizer soil under the trees.

Qu Jia put down his schoolbag, without saying a word, went to pick up a bag of fertile soil, and helped Comrade Lao Wang move the soil bag by bag under each tree.

"Hey, put on your gloves and put on this overalls." Wang Guisheng threw him a pair of gloves, "Don't get your hands dirty!"

After Qu Jia finished his work, he dusted off the dirt and wiped his face, and went to Guan Wang Guisheng to ask for a business card.

"Boy, what are you doing?" Wang Guisheng squatted on the ground spraying weed killer, raised his eyes and asked him.

"Zhou Yao said that you have printed a lot of business cards, and you like to give out business cards to others. You can't finish sending them all out, so I want to keep one." Qu Jia's face was smug.

Wang Guisheng was happy, fuck you, you stinky virtuous.

Qu Jia also showed a small expression.

"Uncle," Qu Jia rarely took the initiative to say, "You come to our school every week, do this?"

"Do you do daily maintenance in spring, summer and autumn? You have so many trees and flowers in your school. Do you think it's easy to grow these trees? This is also technical work. If you don't keep them well, there will be large areas of insects, weeds, withering, and death, and the infection will spread. , the tree will be planted in vain, and it will not look good." Wang Guisheng said, "I come here at least twice a week, and sometimes I do it on weekends."

"Do you still hire people?" Qu Jia said, "You teach me, I will do it."

"What are you doing?" Wang Guisheng sized him up, "No, no one can use you if I use it."

"Why can't you use me?" Qu Jia said seriously, "I'm at school, it's convenient for me, you don't need to run around to waste time, there are so many jobs in summer, you can do those 'big jobs', I will do this."

Wang Guisheng stood up, stared at Qu Jia for a while, and suddenly reached out and hugged his neck!

Qu Jia was not used to such intimacy and warmth, and subconsciously, he refused to give the other party a hug.

"The herbicide is all over my face..." Qu Jia was unhappy, "Don't cut my hair off!"

Wang Guisheng grinned, stretched out his arms and hugged Qu Jia's neck, put some insecticide and herbicide on Qu Jia's hair as a hairspray, and rubbed it vigorously with his rough hands.

Qu Jia frowned: "I didn't do it for nothing, you pay me."

Wang Guisheng smiled and said: "Then I am not, am I hiring child labor? Let your mother know that she will throw the soles of her shoes and scold me for her temper. I am afraid that she will do it!"

Qu Jia said, "Then don't let her know."

"After all, in your school, if you let your classmates see it, I'm afraid it will be bad for you..." Wang Guisheng put his arms around Qu Jia, squeezed his shoulders and whispered, "Are you still a class leader? I also know that half-children care about face. It’s different from us old guys who have received a severance pay and walked out of the gate of the machine tool factory, so I don’t want to have this old face, I just let me do whatever I can to support my family!”

"It's nothing wrong," Qu Jia said with his chin raised, "I won't feel ashamed, and I can do anything."

Wang Guisheng asked, "Why?"

Qu Jia said, "I also make money to support my family."

Wang Guisheng lowered his head and rubbed the dirt embedded in the crevices of his fingernails: "How is your mother recently?"

Qu Jia said, "I don't know if it's good or not."

"Tsk, how come you don't know, kid?" Wang Guisheng frowned, "It's really stupid."

"I don't know." Qu Jia was very confused, rolled his eyelids, "Why don't you go and see for yourself!"

"..."

Qu Jia just found a work-study job that was very convenient, and received his wages from Comrade Lao Wang's contractor team every week.

Later, he used his own money to enroll himself in a math tutoring class outside.Lectures were taught by famous teachers in Haidian, Xicheng, and several famous actors were also the people who wrote the questions for the college entrance examination papers in Beijing.If you don't take classes with famous teachers, you won't be able to figure out what topics to take in the college entrance examination in the future.That's how they earned their tuition fees.

From then on, he also went to the open vocal class of the Conservatory of Music and the professional class of classical guitar and modern guitar every evening.It was Zhou Yao's mother who helped him get a class certificate, which allowed him to go in and out of the school, and met some teachers from time to time to listen to a few pointers.

In the second half of the second half of the second year of high school, I have been divided into arts and science classes.

He and Zhou Yao are no longer in the same class.

It is also impossible for Zhou Yao to hang out at his house, on his bed, on Saturdays and Sundays, making up lessons for him.

Physics, chemistry, biogeography can die, just pass the exam.I no longer need to see the face of the physics teacher, and I no longer need to see the pitiful marks starting from 30 and capping at 50 on the test paper. The physics teacher should be very happy that I will not have to see classmate Qu Jia in the future!The only thing he can beat himself to death is mathematics.

At that time, I was very envious of Zhou Yao's brain, but if he dug into Zhou Yao's shrewd brain, scooped out a few spoonfuls of the contents, and stuffed it into his brain, he could get 150 points out of 90 in mathematics in the college entrance examination.
