sequel

That day, the two of Zhuang Caiguo didn't know what they had negotiated. When they came in, Wang Jingchen heard his father's big slap on Zhuang Caiguo's back.His father smiled and said, "We have made an agreement, big brother, that bastard from my family will come to your house to make trouble in the future."

Zhuang Caiguo smiled honestly: "Don't do this with me, as far as our friendship is concerned, it should be taken care of by you."

For the next few winter and summer vacations, Wang Jingchen will always hang out with Zhuang Yufan.In summer, we catch longhorn beetles, dive into rivers to touch snails, and in winter we dig sweet potatoes and roast them, or hide in alleys to boil sugar and eat them.

Wang Jingchen has a talent for being mischievous, and Zhuang Yufan's inner mischievousness is also stimulated bit by bit, but it is still so limited.

No matter how hot the weather was, Zhuang Yufan's collar would always cover his collarbone, and he never went into the water, Wang Jingchen knew it; just because he knew it, he couldn't say it, so he felt more and more guilty.

In the summer of 2000, when the cicadas were screaming like they were about to have a big accident, Wang Jingchen sat on the floor barefoot with a popsicle in his mouth and blew it on the fan.Zhuang Yufan sat upright at the table doing his homework, and by the way helped that slacker Wang Jingchen check his summer homework.Wang Manxue took a nap in the next room, one of the two daughters went to tutoring, and the other accompanied Wang Manxue to rest.

Wang Jingchen said, "Why do you love learning so much?"

Without raising his head, Zhuang Yufan was able to distract himself and answer: "I don't love it——I want to go abroad in the future."

go abroad?If Fanfan has gone abroad, won't we not be able to see him?Wang Jingchen took out the popsicle: "Then how can we play together after you go abroad?"

"You can also go abroad with me."

"Naive." Wang Jingchen licked the popsicle and spoke with a big tongue, "You think everyone can study abroad. I'm not that material."

Zhuang Yufan put down his pen and turned to look at him: "Where there is a will, there is a way."

"Hahahahaha, my lovely Fanfan — okay, let's go abroad together." Wang Jingchen was too lazy to tell him a bunch of things he thought were reasonable and well-founded, he thought, how old is Zhuang Yufan, how will he remember it in the future?

Who at the age of [-] or [-] still remembers the ambitions he made in elementary school?Do you remember what you told who?And who promised what?

He has been very forgetful since he was a child, thinking that everyone is just like him, heartless.As everyone knows, Zhuang Yufan's obsession with some people's words is deeply rooted, as if it grows in the body, rooted in the blood and bone marrow.It cannot be pulled out easily.

Wang Jingchen is about to enter junior high school.His final exam paper was scribbled and altered like a dog chewing on it. It is estimated that he got a lot of "standard answers" during the exam, and he copied one copy, almost stepping on the passing line.

Zhuang Yufan leaned against the back of the chair and raised his test paper over his head, but without turning his head, he sighed and said, "If I were the marking teacher, I would tear each of these papers one by one."

Wang Jingchen was lying under the fan like mud and humming to him.Clearly used to his taunts.

"What is it that has degraded your basic ability to copy answers?" Zhuang Yufan said to the air, "I think you should stop playing this summer vacation, pour the water out of your head and learn English with Sister Ya."

Sister Ya is Zhuang Manxue's eldest daughter, Lin Xueya, and she reads like a book.

"I also want to ask what is it that makes you not so innocent and cute at all?" Wang Jingchen frowned and slandered.He stretched his body into a "big" character, and complained inarticulately: "It's a pity that I'm playing with you. If it's someone else, hehe, you've been beaten so hard that your parents can't recognize you."

"Then why didn't you beat me up?" While speaking, Zhuang Yufan came over and bent down to look at the paralyzed person on the floor.

"No, which one of us is with whom?" Wang Jingchen chuckled, stretched out his hand to hook his neck, Zhuang Yufan lost his balance, and fell on Wang Jingchen's head, causing the latter to yell, "Oh, crush me to death! That's fine, It’s summer vacation and you’re tired of studying all day? If you have nothing to do, just lie down with me for a while. Let me tell you, Rui’er will invite me to play in the water pool in the next village tomorrow. Basically all of our grades will go and play all day. Do you want to go together?"

Zhuang Yufan was always good at grasping the key points in his words, and asked, "Ruier?"

"Tian Rui, you've seen it before, haven't you?"

Zhuang Yufan moved his head away from his arm, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't remember clearly."

The careless Wang Jingchen didn't feel it: "Go, there's a Buddhist temple over there, and there's a swing inside, it's fun! Let's bring some food and come back in the evening!"

"Okay then, let's go."

With Zhuang Yufan's approval, Wang Jingchen's eyes became happy, he was naturally pleasing, his eyes became lively when he was happy, he showed his white teeth and smiled, every pore was full of smile and vitality.It took Zhuang Yufan many years later to figure out why this person always looks like he has excess energy.

He actually doesn't want to go, he doesn't really fit in with others, not to mention that right now, summer, launching, and crowds, any one of these three is something he avoids, but now that the three are in one, he still faces difficulties I just want to know how happy Wang Jingchen is when he plays with others.

In the evening, Zhuang Manxue stayed with Wang Jingchen for dinner.Wang Jingchen refused politely, happily called his grandma and stayed.

Zhuang Manxue loves Wang Jingchen. From another perspective, she watched this child grow up. He is flexible, diligent, sweet-mouthed, well-behaved, and looks good. The old people in the village all praise him.Every year when crops are harvested in Zhuangman snow, the first person to help is Wang Jingchen.They all unanimously refused Zhuang Yufan to work in the fields, so Zhuang Manxue loved those who knew how to love Zhuang Yufan more.

She didn't have a son of her own, so she regarded those two as her own.

In the past two years, the economy has improved, and Zhuang Man stopped planting snow, and devoted himself to taking care of his four children at home.

Fortunately, these four are very sensible under her nose, and they don't quarrel or fight, which is very worry-free.

The next day, Wang Jingchen picked up the boiled eggs in the pot, helped Zhuang Yufan crack one, peeled it thoroughly, and put it in his bowl. He followed Zhuang Manxue around with a bowl of peanut and red date soup.

Zhuang Manxue saw through the smile on his face at a glance: "Tell me, where are we going to play today?"

"Aunt Man, Fanfan and I are going to Lingshi Temple today."

"Then at least half a day?"

"We'll be back in the evening."

Zhuang Manxue released the chicks and used a broom to organize the team. Wang Jingchen, with sharp eyes, diligently helped her drive the chicks in one direction. The peanut soup was spilled all over the ground.

"All right, be careful—I told you to drink the soup well and spill it all over the floor. By the way, Fanfan will also be in the first grade of junior high school next year. I heard from his father that he has to learn some textbooks by himself. You can look for your books when you have time. , show him."

"Huh? He's not—"

"Didn't I tell you? He skipped a grade. Come on, move to another place, pay attention to the chicken manure over there."

Wang Jingchen poured half a bowl of peanut soup from the sky, threw the bowl into the kitchen, rushed upstairs in a hurry, flew on the bed, and pressed the person who was still sleeping: "You said, brother is trying so hard to get rid of studying. Devil claw, are you still rushing forward?! Ah, I hate the good students who are too smart in this world!"

The person in the quilt moved and kicked him: "I'm smothered to death. What kind of nerves did I get so early in the morning?"

Wang Jingchen locked him in the quilt: "You can hold back, you don't tell me such a big thing as skipping a grade, and you don't tell me that you are in the same grade as me, are you trying to scare me to death?"

"What are you talking about? You don't know how to be in the same class. What's the use of being in the same grade?" Zhuang Yufan felt reluctant to confess when he felt the strength of the person on his body increased, "I planned to give you a surprise."

"Are you sure you're not scared?" Wang Jingchen loosened his hand and patted the quilt, "I forgive you, come out. I'll give you 15 minutes to brush your teeth, wash your face, eat, pack up and go!"

Zhuang Manxue gave Zhuang Yufan some change. He comes here for summer vacation every summer, so Lin Fen will remit some living expenses.Zhuang Yufan didn't like staying under the same roof with Lin Fen, although Lin Fen spent most of his time outside.

Zhuang Manxue sent them to the door, hesitant to speak, then hesitant to speak, Zhuang Yufan had a rare vision and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, Brother Chen will watch me this time." Besides, I'm not a child anymore .

Wang Jingchen put his arms around his shoulders and said that Aunt Man is at ease, this time he will stick to Fanfan every step of the way.

The two teenagers were caring and said heartwarming words, Zhuang Manxue responded with "Ai ai" twice.

Growth, slowly spread out in the quietly passing time.The two figures are like stones lying on the bottom of the same river. No one can predict whether they are being pushed along with the current or trying to gain a foothold in the same place.

This day, Cicada screamed so loudly that Zhuang Yufan popularized Cicada's body structure and pronunciation parts along the way. Because Wang Jingchen was in such a good mood when he came out to play, it was rare that he didn't develop his learning method of learning by stitches.
