Withered vine new leaves

Chen Zhicun cried and ran home, and when he got home, he closed the door of his room with a bang.

"Xiaozhi, are you back? Put down your schoolbag, wash your hands, and prepare to eat." Mother Chen put down the spatula in her hand and poked her head out of the kitchen. After Chen Zhicun entered the room and changed his shoes, he went to Running around the room, he ignored her.

"What's wrong with this kid..." Mother Chen whispered, then turned back to the kitchen and put the dishes in the pot on the dining table, and then saw that Chen Zhicun still didn't intend to come out of the room, and was about to pick He took off his apron to see what was going on, but the phone rang at home.

"Hello? Excuse me, who is it?" Mother Chen wiped the water on her apron and picked it up.

"Xiaozhi's mother, right? I'm Feng Xiao's mother." A gentle voice came from the receiver.

"Hello! Thanks to you for taking care of my Xiaozhi on weekdays." Although Chen's mother has met Feng Xiao's mother several times, this is the first time the other party has called.

Hearing Mother Chen being so polite, Feng Xiao's mother breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, it's nothing serious to call, so I'll ask Feng Xiao if Xiaozhi has returned home safely?" Feng's mother on the other end of the phone She couldn't help but glance at Feng Xiao, seeing him pursing his lips and frowning, with a worried look on his face, he couldn't help feeling amused.

Chen's mother didn't think much, subconsciously glanced at Chen Zhicun's closed door, and replied: "Well, I just came back, and I seem to be losing my temper for some reason."

Feng Xiao's mother didn't cover the phone on purpose. Chen's mother's voice came from the other end of the phone. Although the voice was not loud, Feng Xiao heard it sincerely, and felt more and more sad all of a sudden.

"Then I don't worry, Xiao Xiao and Xiaozhi seem to be having a fight today, I'm a little worried, so I'll call and ask."

"Arguing?" Although Chen's mother is usually busy with work, she also knows that the relationship between these two people is very good. Now that they hear that they are quarreling, she can't help feeling a little worried.

Feng's mother laughed twice, and then comforted: "It's okay, baby, small fights are inevitable, and it will be fine in two days. I can rest assured that Xiaozhi will return home safely, then I will hang up first .”

Although Chen's mother didn't say anything, she still wanted to ask Chen Zhicun to clarify, so she went to his door and knocked twice: "Feng Xiao's mother just called, what are you and Feng Xiao doing?" gone?"

There was no echo from inside, and there was silence for about half a minute. Mother Chen couldn't help but pushed the door open and went in.

"Xiao Zhi?"

Chen Zhicun sat alone on a chair with his knees hugged, his back turned to him, Chen's mother saw that he buried his face in his arms, stepped forward and patted him on the back twice, and asked, "Xiao Zhi? What's wrong?"

Chen Zhicun raised his head slowly, tearing profusely, maybe he choked on his trachea from crying too fast, he kept hiccupping, and called weakly: "Mom."

Chen's mother took out a tissue and wiped Chen Zhicun's face: "Why are you still crying?"

Chen Zhicun couldn't hold back for a while, and threw himself into Chen's mother's arms: "Mom, is it strange that I don't have a father?"

Chen's mother stroked his forehead hair, momentarily at a loss for words, the family situation is special, Chen Zhicun has no father since he was a child, she has always been afraid that Xiaozhi will be discriminated against in school because of this, now it seems that her worry is not superfluous.

"But I heard that you had a fight with Feng Xiao?" Chen's mother asked, "He has the best relationship with you on weekdays, and you two will quarrel? Could it be because you don't have a father? Feng Xiao is a good boy, I You don't think he would do that?"

Chen Zhicun hemmed and hawed for a while, and finally revealed it, and explained everything that happened after school today to Chen's mother.

Chen's mother sat down beside him, and instead of blaming Chen Zhicun for losing his temper, she carefully explained: "Is mom treating you well enough? Why do you always clamor for dad?"

There were still teardrops on Chen Zhicun's eyelashes, his eyes were red and he said, "But everyone else has them, so why am I the only one who doesn't have them?"

Mother Chen didn't answer directly, but instead answered the question with questions: "You have such a good friend Feng Xiao to accompany you, Feng Xiao's mother and father are so close to you, and so many people around you are so kind to you, why How come others don’t?”

Chen Zhicun was choked and couldn't find a word to answer. Chen's mother continued: "Xiaozhi, if you always compare yourself with others, then you will never get out of this whirlpool for the rest of your life. Don't keep thinking about what you don't have, but think about what you have. Don't be obsessed with what you don't have, and cherish what you have, because you won't come back if you miss it."

Chen Zhicun was still young at that time, and he only nodded his head as he half-understood these principles.When Chen Zhicun, who has grown up now, heard these words again, he was quite touched.Thinking back to my first 30 years, I only achieved the first half of the sentence, and never obsessed with what I couldn’t get, so when I grew up, I lived a more cheerful and gentle person, but only now I realized it later. Looking back, the second half of the sentence is better than the first half sentence is more meaningful.

"Okay little crying bag, tomorrow is the weekend, mom has to work overtime, you remember to go to Feng Xiao's house to apologize to him, by the way, thank Feng Xiao's mother for calling you specifically, don't let such a small misunderstanding let you down. You lost such a good friend." Mother Chen finished speaking with a smile, and did not forget to scratch Chen Zhicun's nose.

On the second day, Mother Chen hurried to the hospital to work overtime after lunch, and before she left, she did not forget to ask Chen Zhicun not to forget to bring a gift when she went to Feng Xiao's house.

In May, the weather gradually became hotter. Although the two lived in the same community, Chen Zhicun's family lived in the high-rise area of ​​the south gate, while Feng Xiao's family lived in the villa area of ​​the north gate. Chen Zhicun, who was still short-armed and short-legged at the time, can be described as the Red Army's Long March.

By the time he walked to the door of Feng Xiao's house and pressed the doorbell on tiptoe, Chen Zhicun's face was already flushed red, with beads of sweat streaming down from time to time.

Mother Feng opened the door to greet her, and said with a smile: "Your mother just called me and said you were coming. I was wondering why you haven't arrived yet. The doorbell rang. Come in quickly." , it’s sunny enough outside.”

"Hello, Auntie, is Feng Xiao at home?" Chen Zhicun nodded, as if he had done something wrong and said, "My mother asked me to bring this here."

Mother Feng took it over and said: "Feng Xiao heard that you are coming and is waiting for you in the room. Quickly change your shoes and go in. I'll bring you snacks and drinks in a while."

Chen Zhicun said "hmm" and changed his shoes before running into the room, opened the door and called cautiously: "Feng Xiao?"

Feng Xiao was doing his homework at this time, and when he heard someone calling him, he turned his head and saw Chen Zhicun poking his head halfway, so he got off his chair and ran over to greet him, "Why don't you come in?"

Seeing that Feng Xiao didn't seem to be angry, Chen Zhicun boldly walked in. Feng Xiao saw that he was sweating profusely, took out a handkerchief, lowered his head and held his hand, and helped him wipe the sweat off his forehead. By the way, he also wiped his moist eyes that seemed to be about to roll down tears in a second.

The adult Chen Zhicun, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but help his forehead: Did I cry so much when I was a child?I don't remember how.

Chen Zhicun stared at the hair on Feng Xiao's head, and let him wipe it for himself. Feng Xiao's movements were gentle, and Chen Zhicun also enjoyed it.After wiping, Feng Xiao looked at Chen Zhicun's dazed expression, and asked again: "Are you hungry? I still have the cheesecake I just bought here, do you want..."

Before Feng Xiao could finish his words, Chen Zhicun snapped up and said, "Wait a minute! I didn't come to your house to eat, I came to apologize to you, I'm sorry, I was so capricious to you yesterday, I was so bad, I knew it wasn't you I even lost my temper with you because of my fault. Feng Xiao, besides my mother, you are the best person to me, can you not be angry with me, can you forgive me." After finishing speaking, he hugged me Feng Xiao.

Feng Xiao was surprised for a while, and then said calmly: "You are not bad, who said you are bad, it is because they are not good at poking your sore spots, I was only sad for a while, no, you will come the next day If you apologize to me, what else should I be angry about?"

Chen Zhicun buried his face in Feng Xiao's shoulder and twitched. Feng Xiao thought that the person in his arms was crying again, so he put his hand on Chen Zhicun's back, rubbing up and down comfortingly: "Okay Alright, don't cry anymore, I should be wronged so much, why are you crying for me."

For Feng Xiao's consolation, Chen Zhicun was obviously very helpful, he stopped crying after humming a few times, raised his head and said "I'm sorry" again.Feng Xiao groaned, smiled and patted his head.

The two reconciled as before.

Seeing Feng Xiao rubbing the head of Chen Zhicun when he was a child, and Chen Zhicun when he grew up rubbing the dumpling in his arms, he whispered in its ear: "I didn't think it before, but now it seems that Feng Xiao has plotted against me since I was a child." ?Others always say that only in front of the person they like will they tolerate in every possible way. If it weren’t for the love, how could he treat me so well since I was a child? I can’t wait to rush up and have a smoke before I can feel at ease.”

Tuanzi squinted at Chen Zhicun's blissful smile, snorted through his nose, and glared at his hind legs to express his dissatisfaction: "Oh! I'm a cat, I don't eat dog food!"

Chen Zhicun chuckled.

Turning the calendar page by page, it was obviously such a long period of time, but it flew through elementary school, junior high school, and high school like a fast shot in a movie, Feng Xiao also jumped up like a tall man, Chen Zhicun No amount of milk can keep up.

One day in physical education class, Chen Zhicun gestured to the heights of the two of them with his hands, and said, "Feng Xiao, can you grow slowly, you are almost half a head taller than me!"

Feng Xiao rubbed his hair like he did when he was a child: "It's okay, I don't think you're short."

Chen Zhicun was a little upset but he didn't want to just say it. He mumbled and turned his face into a cake, and said with his mouth curled up: "Look at those girls who only have your 180 long legs in their eyes. This 175 figure can't even catch their eyes." While talking, he still didn't forget that his eyes scanned the girls around him.

Feng Xiao shrugged helplessly. It stands to reason that being sought after by girls should be something to show off, but he didn't think so. He leaned into Chen Zhicun's ear and said in a low voice, "Anyway, it's okay to only have you in my eyes."

Feng Xiao, who was using the voice changer, had a hoarse and gloomy voice, and Chen Zhicun got goosebumps on his arms when he heard the somewhat ambiguous words, rubbed it twice, and jokingly replied: "I will think you like me when you are like this ah!"

Feng Xiao straightened up, shook his head and smiled: What's wrong with liking you, you can also like me if you have the ability!Of course, this is just what I think in my heart.
