Bamboo horses peck each other daily

When Shi Junhao heard the sound of quarreling outside, he couldn't help frowning when he heard Wang Hao's words. He never expected that Wang Hao would act like this, nor did he at all expect that Wang Hao and Cheng Xia had such an awkward relationship.

Their bad relationship seems normal to Shi Junhao. Cheng Yirou was very good when she was a child, the kind of good girl most parents like, she is quiet, gentle and well-behaved, but the more she grows up, the more rebellious she becomes. Boldly elope with her boyfriend.They met Cheng Yirou by chance many years ago, and she became stronger and stronger, and she was also quite neat and mature. Cheng Xia who was raised by her would naturally not be obedient.And Wang Hao was a grumpy gangster back then, and now his life is unsatisfactory, but that kind of irascibility is not less, and he lives with Cheng Xia, who has never been raised by this father since he was a child, and even has no admiration for him. It's almost nothing, and it's rare for them to get better.

But no matter how bad the relationship is, you should be more tactful in these matters, right?Unlike Wang Hao, what he said just now almost told Cheng Xia directly, I sold you for money.

In the ward, Wang Hao didn't answer, but Cheng Xia didn't intend to let it go. He walked quickly to the bed, grabbed the quilt with his hands, and threw it off. Wang Hao lost the quilt to cover the light, and could only look straight with his eyes. Staring forward, he just met Cheng Xia's eyes.

Wang Hao was indeed a handsome young man when he was young, but he has already wiped out three points of his eight-point appearance, leaving only a five-point passerby, but his eyes are different from other facial features. This is not wind, frost and rain. What snow can blow away, what can change it, is long years.

His eyes are well defined, with the sword-browed and star-eyed appearance of a typical hero. You can imagine his high spirits when he was young. Maybe he has been in the market for a long time and brought him a sharp and cunning that is different from ordinary teenagers. Maybe It is also the kind of youthful spirit that is completely unfamiliar to ordinary little girls that can attract Cheng Yirou to dedicate himself wholeheartedly to him and follow him with all his heart.

However, more than ten years later, he is no longer what he was back then. With the girl he likes by his side, he has the courage to fight against the whole world and earn the happiness he imagined—after escaping from school and After returning home, the first setback he faced made him realize the reality. The soft knife of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar tea dug away his innocent fantasy bit by bit, and his eyes were no longer what they were before. It is still there, and the outline is still beautiful, but like all ordinary middle-aged men, surrounded by oily and wrinkled skin around the eyes, there are some bloodshot eyes in the white of the eyes, and the black eyeballs are like a pool of stagnant water trapped, sinking There is no longer the kind of water splashing.

Cheng Xia looked into Wang Hao's eyes and didn't know what to say for a while. He and Wang Hao were in a stalemate. After several seconds, it was Wang Hao who broke the silence.

Wang Hao grabbed the quilt and shook it, releasing it from Cheng Xia's hands. He stretched out his hand and stroked the quilt that had been left with creases and wrinkles due to Cheng Xia's tight grip just now, and said in a light tone, "Stop making trouble." , I can’t afford you, you can’t afford me, neither of us can afford anyone.”

Wang Hao covered the quilt, closed his eyes and stopped looking at him.

Shi Junhao listened to the silence in the ward for a while, and then the door opened with a "click".

Cheng Xia lowered his eyes, the schoolbag on his back was still on his back, and he asked, "Where are we going?"

"Go to your house to get your things." Shi Junhao knew that Cheng Xia was about to leave by himself, he said gently in a low voice: "Just take your clothes and things you like, and we will help you with the rest. prepare."

Cheng Xia and Shi Junhao took the elevator downstairs, and the wind was rare when the sun was setting. He walked through the hospital lobby and stepped on the familiar park path, which was just downstairs of the inpatient department.It took more than a month for Cheng Xia to thoroughly understand every part of the hospital. He knew that Wang Hao lived in the northwest corner of the ward on the fifth floor, right next to the window.

He looked back at the window on the fifth floor, wondering if it was because the ward was too dark, he couldn't see if there was anyone by the window, but after looking for a while, the dark blue curtain was pulled shut , completely covering everything in the house.

Cheng Xia was sitting in the car, driving towards the home where he had lived for five years. The rush hour on the road had already passed, the car was passing through the traffic very quickly, and the scenery by the window rustled past, like colorful Lines of different lengths.

The car stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the narrow alley was only as wide as a small car. If you want to get in, you can only use some petite means of transportation, such as a cart, such as a bicycle, such as the No. 11 portable bus.

The alley was too long, and it was getting dark again. Shi Junhao and his assistant followed Cheng Xia home uneasy to sort things out, while the driver uncle stayed in the car and waited.

Cheng Xia doesn't have many things, only a few pieces of clothes to change in summer, and almost all his junior high school books are in the hospital, all he needs is winter clothes and some extracurricular books he bought himself.

The elementary school textbooks were all sold by Cheng Xia, so the only books left were his hand-painted notebooks and his favorite extracurricular books, plus an iron box containing odds and ends.

The lights in Aunt He's house were dimmed, Cheng Xia thought, he couldn't even say goodbye.

He was holding an iron box and a few books. After the adults carried the clothes and stuffed everything into the car, Cheng Xia also climbed into the back seat. The lit alley was getting farther and farther away from him, only then did he suddenly realize that he was really going to leave this alley.

I have to leave that annoying Wang Hao too.

In the past few years, he has been thinking about growing up quickly, living an independent life, and then moving out of this alley. He will give Wang Hao pension money in the future, and never see Wang Hao again. He never expected it to be realized so quickly—— Not the way he wanted it.

It didn't take long for the car to arrive at Shi Junhao's house. Cheng Xia entered the door with his luggage, and then listened to Shi Junhao introduce the furnishings of this new home to him.

Shi Junhao's wife is a very beautiful person, with long black curly hair lightly draped over the long skirt, and a light-colored thin shirt draped over her shoulders, she smiled at Cheng Xia, and held his hand to kiss him talking to him.

Compared with Shi Junhao's mental toughness, Xu Ziya's feminine gentleness obviously made Chengxia feel more relaxed.

Cheng Xia smiled politely and looked up at Xu Ziya. She reminded herself of the sea of ​​purple flowers in staggered shades and shades that his mother had shown him a long time ago, as well as the small houses under the warm sunshine and the breeze with the fragrance of flowers. People feel very comfortable.

Xu Ziya asked Cheng Xia to call her aunt, and Shi Junhao naturally became the uncle he mentioned earlier, and then Cheng Xia heard Xu Ziya say: "There is another brother I want to introduce to you later."

Xu Ziya dragged Cheng Xia to sit on the sofa and wait for the kitchen to cook another meal. She said, "You are the same age, but he should be a few months older than you."

Cheng Xia thought that this elder brother should be their son.

There were footsteps coming from upstairs, Cheng Xia looked up, Xu Ziya led him to stand up and said, "It just so happened that he came down, let's get to know each other."

After Shi Xu finished eating, he heard from his mother that Aunt Yirou's son, Cheng Xia, would live with them in the future, so it was no surprise that he saw someone else at home after taking a shower.

——It's just that he was surprised that he knew this person!

Cheng Xia was obviously stunned for a moment, Shi Xu and the others were the last wave of guests he received at Aunt He's side, and he also brought the person in front of him to buy wood carvings, so naturally it was not so easy to forget.

Shi Xu also remembered those things when Cheng Xia took him to buy wood carvings, and was deeply impressed by his face in the sun at that time, he quickly put away his surprise, smiled and said to Cheng Xia: "Hi, my name is Time 溆, 溆 is the narrative of three points of water and narrative."

Cheng Xia also nodded and said hello: "Hello, my name is Cheng Xia."

Xu Ziya was also very assured of Shi Xu's communication skills, she told Shi Xu to take Cheng Xia for a while, and then went to the kitchen to check on the dinner.

Shi Xu still had a smile on his face, looking very friendly: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect that we would meet before, how about I call you Xiao Xia?"

Cheng Xia nodded, and felt that facing the smiling Shi Xun now was not as comfortable as facing the Shi Xun who was led by him and only spoke a few words from time to time.

In fact, as people who will get along day and night in the future, "meeting once" is a good way to get in touch. It's just that they met for the first time as customers and waiters, which made Chengxia feel a little subtle. Can't let go.

Shi Xu took Cheng Xia upstairs, came to the first room at the top of the stairs, opened the door and said to him, "This will be your room from now on."

He looked around and found that the furnishings in the room seemed a bit monotonous, so he added: "Because it hasn't been tidied up yet, it's a bit simpler. Go buy something you like in a few days and come back to decorate it. A lot."

Cheng Xia nodded, looking at the room with bathroom, small balcony, wardrobe, bookcase, etc., he felt that this is actually quite good, he doesn't need to make the room like a small palace, there is no need to have too many things, just pack it up Still troublesome.

Shi Xu left the room with a smile, "You can ask me anything you don't understand in life and study" and left the room.

Cheng Xia himself began to look through the room curiously, and found that the few clothes he brought had been tidied up in the closet, and the books were neatly placed on the table.

There was a framed photo on the bedside table, and in the photo was a very familiar face. Cheng Xia sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his eyelashes at the photo. After trying to distinguish it for a while, he realized that it was his mother.

The girl in the photo is only fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a little white princess dress, her long hair is combed into a small mushroom hoop on her head, and she is tied with a shiny headdress. The girl smiles very sweetly and is very obedient. A little princess who does not eat fireworks.

Cheng Xia carefully looked at the girl's facial features, and found that he and she really looked alike, especially the girl in the photo was only in her teens, and he was only in his early teens. As reflected in his face, his outline is still round, and his facial features are soft and delicate. Looking at his face alone, he looks like the twin of the girl in the photo.

In fact, Cheng Xia has not thought of Cheng Yirou for a long time. She died in a plane crash at that time. Cheng Xia can only vaguely remember that she told herself before she left that she would go out temporarily, and kept it for herself in the refrigerator as usual. After eating hot food, he hurried out and never came back.

When he was just thrown to Wang Hao, he also missed his mother for a period of time. He was taken from the big house to Wang Hao's dirty and dark little room overnight, and he had to face the whole day with a gloomy face. A strange man who doesn't speak, gets drunk and beats people, finds something to eat and cooks by himself, and at the beginning, he often burns his hands, sweeping the floor, washing dishes and washing clothes, so that his hands are red as if they are going to be broken. At that time, I remembered My mother always has a lot of grievances, and she can't help but make tears keep falling.

Later, Aunt He began to help him teach him to do housework, and when he faced Wang Hao, he was at a loss and just wanted to hide in the room at first, but he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to beat people. He gradually got used to this kind of life, and no longer It's useless to think about the days when my mother was there, isn't it, my mother will never come back, and I still have to live my life as usual after thinking about it.

Then, in his memory, his mother became a person who put together some fragmentary fragments and pictures.

It was as if she was riding a bicycle through an unknown small park in a cool afternoon, her hat brim covered a small piece of sunlight, but her curly long hair flew out of the shadow, in the sun it was like Little butterflies with golden wings are circling, and a wobbly bike ride combined with wobbly little butterflies makes for a sleepy ride.

It's also like the doorway of a certain room in the morning, the pair of hands under his neck helping him straighten his collar, carrying a very light and pleasant fragrance, in his ears, he can't remember the content clearly. There was an inarticulate voice, and the sweet cookie and cream smell from the small cake box placed on the ground.

Little by little, this photo filled the man's blurred face, those fragmentary memories cast flesh and blood, and the image of his mother in his mind became full again.

The author has something to say: The two protagonists finally...finally meet officially!

It's not easy!
