Xia Bao

In city S in midsummer, cicadas yelled endlessly, and the boring voice made people feel irritable.The sun was shining brightly, and there was almost no one on the road. The asphalt road was softened by the sun and gave off an unpleasant smell.

The Baiyulan community is an old community in the 80s. The narrow alleys are paved with bluestone slabs. Looking up at the sky, the laundry poles stretched out of each house are full of clothes.Squeeze your eyes through the drying objects to see the blue sky, as if going up from the bottom of the rift valley, which is very characteristic of the city.

"Xiao Feng, quickly call me aunt." The woman who just passed forty still has her charm, but her slightly swollen eyes and haggard face betrayed her torment, and life is not easy right now.

The 17-year-old boy has grown up. He is more than 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders and long legs. Although his face is young, he has the determination of a young man: "Hello, auntie."

"Sit down quickly." The woman called aunt smiled, with a bit of reserve in a big city: "Oh, it's incredible, Xiaofeng has grown so big in a blink of an eye. I dare not admit it. The young man is handsome. Oh, look at this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looks like Qin Yuan."

Xiaofeng's mother was a little sad when she heard the other party mention Xiaofeng's father.He just entered the door right now, so he had to pretend to be happy no matter what: "It's like Lao Qin, poured out of the same mold."

The heat wave was rolling in the not-so-spacious room, and the electric fan was turning on, but it still couldn't relieve the heat.

Qin Feng was very irritable.Fucking weather, fucking world, fucking.

The two women were gossiping about family affairs, you said something to me.

The teenager sat on a chair with his hands on his knees, staring blankly at the soda in the green glass bottle in front of him.On the same green cardboard bottle label, the word "Lai Meng" is big in white, occupying half of the country.

"Xiao Feng, drink soda, it's delicious. You don't have it there." Qin Yi raised her embroidered eyebrows, and greeted the boy warmly: "My daughter likes this the most, ah, I don't know what to drink Every day when I come back from school, I have to drink a bottle, and let me put it in the refrigerator early to calm him down..."

The boy raised his single eyelid to see that the woman was silent.

Ma Xiuli kicked her son secretly under the table, with a smile on her face: "We in the Northeast don't drink this, we drink big white pears. Last year, Sun Liqun went to Beijing on a business trip and made a bottle of Coca-Cola for Xiaofeng. Soy sauce color, Xiaofeng I don’t like to drink it, saying it’s like traditional Chinese medicine, it’s sweet and has a strange smell.”

Qin Yi clicked her tongue twice: "Coke is a foreign product, and I'm not used to drinking it, but my daughter likes it."

Ma Xiuli asked a few questions along the way: "Xiaoxia is nineteen this year, right? I remember he is two years older than Xiaofeng, and he used to play together when he was young. Did he take the college entrance examination this year?"

Mentioning this, Qin Yi was obviously beaming with joy: "My daughter is striving for success, she has always been worry-free in school, and I never have to worry about it. This time the college entrance examination is the number one in science in their district, and she scored 598 points. The principals and teachers are all happy Hua, I was admitted by my first choice. University A in City A, a national key university, will report in September..."

Ma Xiuli had something on her mind, and while chatting along, she was thinking about how to say this: "City A, why didn't you apply for the local exam? It's close to home and I can take care of it."

Qin Yi curled her lips, Xiao Feng who happened to look up saw the dissatisfaction and helplessness flashing in the woman's eyes.

"You don't know, the admission score in Jiangsu is so high," Qin Yi sighed exaggeratedly: "The child is old enough to have his own opinions, so he doesn't like to stay with his parents. Nannie is an idea, and I guess he will want to in the future." Going to study abroad."

Qin Feng snorted unobtrusively, drooping the corners of his mouth.Poser.

Ma Xiuli cleared her throat, she was really not in the mood to practice Tai Chi again: "Eldest sister, I won't hide it from you, I'm here today, firstly, I haven't seen you in so many years, so I came to see you. Secondly, Lao Qin got sick..." The woman His eyes were red, and he held back: "President Zhao of the No. [-] Hospital in our bureau said that the Cancer Hospital in S City treats this disease very badly..."

Qin Yi let out a cry of surprise, leaned her body slightly, and the neckline of the floral dress was soaked with sweat: "What's wrong with Qin Yuan? I remember that he is one year younger than me. He is 43 this year, right? What's wrong?" ?”

"Liver cancer." After saying those two words, Ma Xiuli's choked throat hurt: "I always thought it was liver cirrhosis..."

Qin Feng didn't move anymore, the half-grown boy frowned and his lips were pursed into a straight line.

"Oh," Qin Yi sighed regretfully, "This disease is difficult to cure..."

"Eldest sister," Ma Xiuli wiped her eyes, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, our family really can't help it this time. But if Lao Qin has a little hope of being cured, we can't give up. We sold everything that could be sold at home. I've borrowed money from my relatives, it wasn't that our neighbors are so close, I wouldn't have the face to talk to you..."

The words are clear, Qin Yi closed her mouth and looked embarrassed: "Oh, little horse, Qin Yuan has this disease, and I feel very uncomfortable when I hear it. I still remember that Xiao Qin was a big man of 1.8 meters, and he was divided in the Chinese New Year. Things, one person can carry a pig. If you want me to say, it’s better to drink? Tsk tsk, the drinking atmosphere in Donglin is really bad..."

Qin Feng stood up suddenly, and Hu Chaochao pulled his face: "I'll go out to smoke——I'll go out to get some air." After speaking, he didn't care whether the two women liked to listen or not, and went out without looking back. .

"Don't go far away, I'll go back to the hospital with Mom in a while." The ending of Ma Xiuli's words was caught between the cracks in the door.

It was the hottest time in the afternoon, and Qin Feng was squatting in a cool place at the entrance of the corridor, with a cloud of smoke between his fingers, and the green air was curling up.

From the open windows on the first floor came babbling opera singing, lingering and lingering with nine tunes and eighteen bends. The young man couldn't understand it, but it sounded disturbing to his ears.

"What jb thing! It's grinding."

Not far away, under the awning of a small store, there was a little yellow dog lying on his stomach, with skinny ribs, black bean-like eyes, his mouth resting on his front paws, and he was panting happily with his tongue out.

After a series of car bells rang, a bicycle turned into the alley, twenty-eight bars perpetual.

The rider was a tall, thin boy who looked to be about the same age as Qin Feng. He wore a short-sleeved white shirt and knee-length light blue denim shorts, and a pair of dark blue sneakers on his feet.

"Maomao." The boy easily supported the bicycle with his feet, lowered his head and called the little yellow dog affectionately.

The little yellow dog recognized the person and wagged its tail happily.

The old lady in the small shop smiled and greeted the boy while waving a big cattail fan: "Daughter is back? It's a hot day, you'll get heatstroke when you go out..."

Qin Feng didn't smoke, and stared at the cyclist without any focus.The calf of the young man propped on the ground is exposed, slender and slender, and the ankle is very delicate, tied with a faded red string with small walnuts, the red and white contrasting each other, it is very beautiful.The calf with slightly stretched muscles looks very fair because of the lack of hair.

Like a little bitch.Qin Feng slandered.

Well, it also looks like a little boy, comparable to the soybean sprouts in the class.

Huang Bean Sprout was a classmate in Qin Feng's class. The boy's surname was Huang. Because he was thin and small and sat in the first row, he was nicknamed Huang Bean Sprout by a bunch of bastards.Belongs to the one who is always bullied.

"Hello, mother-in-law." The young man greeted the old lady politely: "My classmate has something to do today, I'm going to help." The originally fair face was scorched by the scorching sun, and there were red clouds that were almost sunburned, and the sweat was dripping. With wet hair, the parted hairstyle is a little messy, and it sticks to the forehead.

The boy got out of the car, put his pedals on, took a piece of white pastry-like thing from the old lady in the small shop, squatted down and patiently broke off a piece and fed it to the little yellow dog.

Qin Feng didn't move, just stared at the dog and the person in a daze.

Is it the daughter that the old woman upstairs said?Tch, it's not embarrassing enough for a man to have such a nickname.

From his angle, he could see the side profile of the squatting young man, vaguely resembling Qin Yi——

That cheap aunt.

The boy fed half of the cake, moved it to the side, and moved the half of his leg exposed to the sun to the shade.

The cicadas chirped and hissed, Qin Feng's legs and feet became numb when he squatted, he flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, and stood up quickly.

I don't know if he moved too much, but the person who had been concentrating on feeding the dog raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly to look over.

The two looked at each other.

Resisting the depression and resentment he suffered upstairs, Qin Feng snorted contemptuously from his nose, which was a signal of provocation.

The fair boy looked gentle and calm, neither smiling nor angry, his expressionless face was like looking at an irrelevant passerby, his clear eyes swept away, and soon he turned his attention back to the little yellow dog .

Qin Feng was thinking about whether he should find fault with the fight to relieve his depression, so he heard the sound of footsteps upstairs and down, as well as the polite greetings of the two women.

"Little Ma, don't be in a hurry to leave. Have a meal at home tonight. It's rare to come to S City."

"Sister, don't be too polite, Lao Qin is still in the hospital, Xiao Feng and I have to go back."

"I'm really sorry, our family's situation is not good, so we can't help you."

"Where, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, I understand."

"You see, your family is using money for Qin Yuan's illness, or else, you can take the money back. We have been friends for many years, as long as we have this kind of intention."

"Eldest sister, you look down on me now. It's a great event for my child to go to college. I really don't have a lot of money. Just 200 yuan is a little bit of kindness, and I can buy some food for Xiaoxia." Ma Xiuli's voice was a little hoarse: "It's a good thing, Xiaoxia is promising. "

Qin Feng heard the signs, facing the hole in the stairs, he felt like his nose was about to breathe fire——

The two women turned to the last half of the corridor and met Qin Feng downstairs.

Ma Xiuli's eyes were red, and she could see that she had just cried.Qin Yi looked regretful and sighed helplessly.

"Mom." Qingyue's clear voice came from behind Qin Feng, a few steps away.

Qin Feng looked back with a sullen face, and saw that it was indeed the boy who was feeding the dog. He was parking the car three steps away. The sun was so strong that the boy was wearing a white shirt and light trousers, which was almost distorted.

"My daughter is back," Qin Yi smiled exaggeratedly, and wiped her forehead with a handkerchief in her hand: "Come quickly and call Auntie, Mommy told you, the neighbor at Donglin. Do you still remember Fa? This one is my aunt's younger brother, Xiaofeng."

The young man walked over, neither humble nor overbearing, not too affectionate but not rude.

"Hello, Auntie, hello Xiaofeng."
