The Silent Cherry And Plum Blossoms

For Anzhi, the most difficult thing in her elementary school was never just getting along with her classmates in the textbooks, but her rapidly rising height, which prevented her from skipping grades.

At the beginning of the first grade, because she was unfamiliar with the environment and her personality was relatively obedient, and because her grandfather was also a teacher, she had a natural respect for the teacher, so she could still listen in class.Later, she couldn't listen anymore, because she couldn't sleep in the front row.

She felt bored, so she started to practice calligraphy and copybooks.I want to have beautiful fonts like Yanqi.After all, I was a child, and the copybooks sometimes felt boring, so I started to secretly read the picture books.On the two wall-mounted bookshelves on the second floor of Yan Qi, she specially divided a large corner, and put a lot of story books and picture books suitable for her to read, both in Chinese and English, and she could just get them when she stood up.

Xiao Anzhi is also very clever, she can't read it in Chinese class, because it is the class of the head teacher.At most, she practiced calligraphy sometimes.I won't watch it in English class, because the English teacher can tell stories, teach them to sing nursery rhymes, and let them practice dialogue.

So she watches it in math class most of the time, which is very blatant.At the beginning, she would secretly read it. Except for the math teacher asking her to do the problems, or helping her aggressive deskmate, An Zhidu secretly looked at her reading picture books, and sometimes she became fascinated by accident.

In the condescending position of the podium, every move of the primary school students below is actually watched by the teachers.The math teacher who just graduated has a fresh enthusiasm for teaching and a hot and fragile teacher's dignity. He endured it once, the second time, and the third time. He couldn't bear it anymore. He confiscated Anzhi's reading picture books and called her to the office.

The whole class of primary school students was in an uproar.

You know, after one month of school, An Zhi has become the so-called "other people's child" in the first and third classes.She is very good in all subjects, and she is so white and cute (although she is a little short...), she is super good, and she can ask her any questions.The clothes she wears are also nice.One casual day at school, she was wearing a yellow sweater, light blue suspenders, and a dark blue denim jacket with a pattern of rabbit ears on the pockets. She was so cute that many female students surrounded her asking where to buy the clothes.

She also often brings baked biscuits and egg tarts to school to eat separately, and she also has super beautiful parents!Everyone in the class wants to be friends with her.

Because she is a newcomer and younger than most of the students in the class, the head teacher did not let her be a class cadre.

However, she was called to the office!I heard that parents are also invited to the office!

In the office, except for the class cadres, those who are called in will be criticized!

Some courageous students in Class [-] and [-] followed the teacher's buttocks, peering at the door and window.

The teachers in the first-grade office each occupy a desk, covered with thick and tall homework books and the like.

During the break between classes, the math teacher came in with a sullen face, and An Zhi moved his little feet slowly behind her.

The head teacher of class one and three raised her eyebrows when she saw her coming in: "What's going on? Teacher Yang?"

Mathematics teacher Yang has already spoken: "I don't listen to the class during class time, read extracurricular books! More than once!"

The English teacher at the table behind took a glance.

The teacher in charge didn't say a word. After all, the math teacher called in, and it was her job to handle it, so she watched it first.

"Tao Anzhi! What's the matter with you? Are you not going to learn anymore? If so, I'll ask your parents to pick you up!" Mathematics teacher Yang threw the Grimm's fairy tale picture book in his hand on the table.

"Teacher!" An Zhi said urgently, "Don't look for my aunt, she is very busy with work!"

"Then tell Teacher Yang, why don't you attend class?" said the head teacher.

An Zhi pouted, tapped her little feet on the ground, and after doing a few small movements, she finally said: "But... I can do it..." She said with an innocent face, and even said with a little grievance.

"You know it?" The math teacher was surprised, "What do you know?" She thought Tao Anzhi was smarter and had quicker reactions.Unexpectedly, the child began to snap his fingers and said: "Can multiply and divide three-digit numbers and two-digit numbers, do vertical formulas, add and subtract decimals, and do four arithmetic operations..."

"..."

The math teacher was skeptical. According to what she said, these are all the contents of the fourth grade of elementary school.She got up and found a paper for her, "You do this paper first."

"But the next class is physical education..." You can go to the playground to play, instead of learning what she knows in the classroom all the time.

The math teacher stared at him, and An Zhi closed his mouth, but he still looked a little unhappy.At this time, the head teacher had no choice but to smooth things over, "Okay, just do the papers, and then go to physical education class."

An Zhi thought for a while, took the paper, and glanced at it curiously.

"It's fine if you don't know how to do it, but you can't lie to the teacher, and you have to listen to the class obediently."

"I did not lie."

"Then sit here and write the paper."

An Zhi was thinking about going to the playground, took the paper and lay down on the table, picked up a pencil and began to write, without even needing manuscript paper.After half an hour, she finished writing.

"Teacher, can I go to physical education class?"

An Zhi slid out of the chair, and looked eagerly at the Grimm's fairy tales on the math teacher's desk. The math teacher looked at all the math papers she had filled: ...

The math teacher said that she would return it to her after she finished her physical education class. After she went out, the math teacher still couldn't believe it. She pointed to the title of the paper and said to the teacher in charge: "Did you see that she can calculate the multiplication and division of three-digit numbers?" Come out, and this question, she can use simple calculations... and can calculate the area..."

The homeroom teacher said: "Very smart! Chinese is the same in fact. I can read a lot of words and express myself very well."

The English teacher over there came over, looked at the paper, and said, "interesting...""

An Zhi played for a while, was called back again, and trotted to the office, "Teacher?"

The math teacher gave her a primary school Olympiad, "In the future, you don't have to listen to the lectures, you can do the questions in this book, and you can ask the teacher if you don't understand, but you have to complete the assigned homework, okay?"

An Zhi was out of breath from playing, her forehead was slightly wet, she took the book, and said sweetly to the math teacher, "Thank you, teacher."

Great, I can finally stop listening to addition and subtraction hahaha!

The math teacher looked at her dimples almost sunken in complacency, and didn't know what to say.

The child also showed a bigger smile: "Teacher, can you return my fairy tale book to me?"

"Also, teacher, can you not tell my aunt about this?" She held it in her little hands, and made a pitiful expression of "please, please" to her.

math teacher:……

This is an insatiable and cute kid!

The math teacher didn't tell Yan Qi, but the class teacher did.

In the evening, Yan Qi and her were reading on the second floor, the room was extremely warm, An Zhi lay on the pillow and flipped through the book, his calf dangling.Yan Qi tentatively asked her, "Did anything interesting happen at school today?"

An Zhi rolled his eyes and said, "No."

Yan Qi secretly smiled: I have learned to lie...

This is a good thing, she is very happy to see that An Zhi is getting more and more lively. Grandma Liu also told her today that An Zhi had a great time in physical education class and broke out in a sweat.

She didn't expose her, "Oh, it looks like this..."

"Sit up, you can't lie on your stomach," Yan Qi patted her, seeing that she was reading a fairy tale book again, "is this book so beautiful?"

An Zhi sat up, leaned in front of her, and said seriously: "I found a problem!"

Um?Yan Qi looked at her.

"Snow White was saved by the prince, Sleeping Beauty was saved by the prince, Rapunzel was saved by the prince...why are they all rescued by the prince? Isn't the prince busy?"

"Huh?" There was a slight smile in the corner of Yan Qi's eyes, she looked at An Zhi: "That was not saved by the prince, who else could have saved it?"

"The princess can save the princess! Why must the prince save it!" An Zhi said seriously, almost waving his little hands.

Yan Qi was amused by her serious look, she blinked her thick eyelashes and pondered slightly: "Your point of view is very interesting!"

An Zhi felt that she had been praised, and she was even more excited. She lay on Yan Qi's lap, her dimples were sweet: "Is it! Is it!"

puff!Yan Qi raised the corners of his lips, "Then these princesses will marry the prince after being rescued by the prince. What if they are rescued by the princess?..."

"Then the princess will marry the princess!" Xiao Anzhi said nonchalantly.

Yan Qi was taken aback, then smiled again.She thought that An Zhitong's words were outrageous, and she didn't even know what she said.She hesitated for a while, but she didn't say something like "it is impossible for a princess to marry a princess". All children's kind, innocent and curious thoughts should be encouraged.It is enough that fairy tales can make children see and feel the truth, goodness and beauty.

She also didn't want to tell her that the original versions of these fairy tales were so cruel and dark.

"Isn't it possible?" An Zhi lay on her knees, Xingyuan's eyes blinked.

Yan Qi thought that she should find out this problem when she grows up, besides, there is nothing wrong with it, in some parts of this world, it is also possible.

So she nodded: "Yes." Of course the princess can save the princess, and she can also marry the princess, everything is possible.

An Zhi was very happy after being affirmed, she put her small head into Yan Qi's arms and rubbed it twice.Yan Qi laughed, acting like a baby is so natural now... She then patted her head naturally.

When it was time to go to bed, An Zhi was on Yan Qi's bed, and she helped arrange the pillows.

Yan Qi originally prepared a room for her, just across the room, decorated according to the child's favorite, 1.2 bed, big wardrobe, desk, small bookshelf, and bought a lot of plush dolls for her.Yan Qi originally wanted to cultivate An Zhi's habit of sleeping alone.

"Can't I sleep with you?" At that time, Xiao Anzhi looked at her pitifully, and Yan Qi's words "Tao Tao will sleep alone in the future" could not be said at all. She remembered Anzhi crying in his sleep. With her appearance, she temporarily gave up the idea of ​​letting her sleep alone.

The weather is still too cold, let's wait until summer.Yan Qi thought.

After Yan Qi took a shower, he dried and combed his hair, and it still smelled of the familiar gardenia.Then he took the book and went to bed.

The bed is warm and soft. In order to lull Anzhi to sleep, Yan Qi will read some warm and cozy books before going to bed. The most recent one is Tagore’s Gitanjali.

"In this sleepy night, let me surrender myself to sleep and trust you. Let me not force my sluggish spirit to prepare a perfunctory worship for you. It is you who draw the night to cover the day The tired eye is renewed in the fresh joy that wakes it."

Yan Qi's voice is gentle and patient. Her voice is undoubtedly very suitable for reciting and telling stories. The ending is light and crisp, and she can wear a soothing rhythm.After studying Chinese, she can read English, and her English is also very good, with an Oxford accent, which is different from Mandarin, and has a bit of aristocratic elegance.

An Zhi often half-understands what she reads, and she only feels a kind of care, gentle and endless care, like being treated as a little princess.Sleeping next to Yan Qi, is far away from nightmares and restlessness.

When he was eight years old, Anzhi hadn't grown to 115cm, and he was still short. The class teacher decided not to let Anzhi skip a grade. Psychological development characteristics, self-care ability, and the most important thing is the interaction with peers. If you skip a grade, you will not be able to communicate with classmates who are older than you, and it will affect the child's physical and mental development..."

Yan Qi thought for a long time, and also consulted Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan, and decided not to let An Zhi skip a grade.Although An Zhi is not interested in learning what he has already learned, he still does not reject school life.

What made her most sad was her own height. Seeing the best classmates in the class jumping up one by one, she was the only one who was not very tall.Other than that there were no major annoyances.Every day she went to school and Yan Qi went to work, sometimes she would pick her up from school and hold parent-teacher meetings.Grandma Liu said with a smile that their relationship is better than that of mother and daughter, everything is in harmony, Yan Qi dotes on her very much, she is peaceful and obedient.

Except for the occasional weird collision of tastes.

Yan Qi: "Why are tomato scrambled eggs sweet?"

An Zhi: "It's already sweet. Grandma Liu said to add salt, but I said to add sugar. It's sweet and delicious."

Yan Qi: "Tomatoes with sugar are simply dark dishes."

Although An Zhi didn't know what "dark cuisine" was, she knew that it was not a good idea to add sugar to tomato scrambled eggs. She puffed up her face: "I always eat sweet, so I need to add sugar! I need to add sugar!"

Yan Qi: "It's useless for you to be cute. I don't care about other dishes. Tomato scrambled eggs are salty! This is a matter of principle!"

Anzhi: "Aw! Aw! Aw! Tangtangtang!"

Grandma Liu was almost bent over laughing.

They went back to Yan's old house on weekends, sometimes Yan Qi would take her out to play, sometimes with Liu Yiyi or Yan Yinan.

"There are flowers in spring and moon in autumn, cool wind in summer and snow in winter. If you have nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world." The four seasons are full and beautiful, and they pass by at once.

In her third grade, she was only 120cm tall, one year younger than her twins, because the genes are so good, already 135cm, although the height has increased, she is still very bearish, pointing at her and laughing, "only grow five centimeters a year dwarf".An Zhi was so angry that he didn't want to talk to them.

Yan Qi has been in the TV station for three years and has excellent ability.BeiTV’s Youth Department column will launch a column with college students as the main audience, and each issue will invite some domestic humanities scholars and young talents to share the stage to share some of the latest ideas in academia, hot spots and important events in society and people’s livelihood , to exchange and debate.

Yan Qi's plan was adopted, and the leader saw that she had a good image and excellent eloquence, so she was asked to host this column.Yan Qi was busy as both host and director.Sometimes he has to work overtime when he goes home. In this case, Yan Qi is afraid of affecting An Zhi's sleep, so he no longer agrees with An Zhi to sleep with her.

Since she was 9 years old, An Zhi has been sleeping alone in a room, and Yan Qi rarely has time to read her bedtime stories.

She is so busy, the time to go home is getting later and later, and she always comes back when the night is heavy and the dew is heavy.Because of this, Grandma Liu was even given a salary increase.When calling back, the background voice on her side is often noisy.

When he got home, Yan Qi's face was always lazy and tired, and he would talk to her so that she didn't have to wait for her.But An Zhi didn't listen, because she could only see her once a day, and if she felt strange, she tried to come back as soon as possible after that, and even took some work home to do.

She walked home in her high heels and took off her coat.She likes to wear gray and occasionally dark blue.Grandma Liu would send her coat for dry cleaning, and what An Zhi would do was stuff all kinds of candies into her coat.Yan Qi has always suffered from hypoglycemia, and sometimes he does not eat regularly when he is busy, so An Zhi started living with her, and her task is to ensure that Yan Qi has candy in his pocket and car.

On many nights, Yan Qi would work in the living room, looking up information.An Zhi was holding his book beside him.In order to understand what the primary school students are learning, Yan Qi bought a set of textbooks for each subject from the first grade to the sixth grade and kept them at home.Anzhi has been reading books for higher grades since the second grade.

Yan Qi occasionally read the host's script, and she listened quietly from the sidelines.I just want to stay by her side for a little longer, but sometimes I can't hold on and fall asleep.

Yan Qi would carry her to the room to sleep and cover her with the quilt.Then leave a gap in the door of the room, An Zhi didn't know until many years later, that whenever Yan Qi was at home at night, she would come to see her when she fell asleep.Make sure she is really asleep before rest assured.

On weekends, An Zhi would either stay with Grandma Liu, or go back to Yan's old house, even if Yan Qi went back to Yan Qi, he would hurry to stay with Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan for a while, leaving An Zhi in the old house, and then go back to Taiwan.

"Xiao Wu is too busy, how can his body handle it?" Aunt Xin was worried. While talking, she was making dumplings in the kitchen and mixed Yan Qi's favorite three fresh stuffing.

"Young man, you should be busy with your career." Xiao Yutong, the sister-in-law of the Yan family, was there to help.

"Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I still hope that Xiao Wu can find someone who will treat her well. The most important thing is to start a family." Aunt Xin was talking nonsense while picking up dumplings, without any delay.

Anzhi accidentally pinched the dumpling skin and the filling leaked out.She frantically made amends.

Xiao Yutong said: "Xiao Wu is only 24 years old, don't worry, career is important."

"Why don't you worry? I heard from Nan Nan that she has no lover after graduating from university. She has never agreed to anyone chasing her. How can it go on like this?"

"Isn't this fate missing?... Hey, Anzhi, you... pfft, it's fine, just don't miss it."

An Zhi embarrassingly put down the shrunken, severely malnourished dumpling in his hand.

"Xiao Anzhi, does your aunt have a boyfriend or not?" Aunt Xin asked her.

"Boyfriend..." An Zhi repeated in a daze.

"Aunt Xin, how does An Zhi understand such things." Xiao Yutong smiled, and Aunt Xin also smiled: "That's right, I was confused."

An Zhi asked, "What is a boyfriend?"

The two adults laughed: "Xiao Anzhi is also curious about this, that's right, you don't need to tell the children now, they will understand, there is too much information in the TV and computer."

Xiao Yutong said to her: "A boyfriend is someone who likes you, treats you well, and will become a husband in the future, um, just like your uncle and I, and then start a family...and give birth to...bear, cough cough, Having a baby..."

In the past two years, Xiao Yutong felt that the twins were too much torment, and felt that Anzhi was cute and cute, and he was happy to take her with her. She explained to her carefully.

An Zhi listened in a daze.

Xiao Yutong looked at her and added with a smile: "Anzhi, you don't have to worry, even if your aunt gets married, you can stay here. You are a part of this family now."

"Yes, yes." Aunt Xin also said.

An Zhi's small mouth opened, as if to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and after a while, he smiled.

The conversation between the two adults continued.

"Honestly, Aunt Xin, I think women can't get married so early. They have only a few years of free time. Once they get married, they will soon have children. Once they have children, they will have no life of their own. Like I, the first few years after giving birth to twins, have been suffering from postpartum depression... I am now widowed as if raising children!...So I don't recommend that Xiao Wu get married so early..."

"Hey...you don't have to worry about getting married, you can get married first..."

The dumplings made by the adults have exquisite folds on the snow-white skin, like an ingot of ingots, so cute.

Yan Qi should like it very much.

An Zhi looked at it and became dazed.

At night, she reads alone, the room is brightly lit, and the night is already very deep.

Anzhi has not suffered from insomnia for a long time.

Outside the window, the light from the street lamps was cold.

For the first time, she felt that the world of adults was very far away. Yan Qi looked like a very gentle and considerate adult in front of her, and maybe she would have her own life in places she couldn't see, which seemed to be a world she didn't quite understand.

On the wall of the entrance of the room where they live, the two tall strokes are far apart, and there is also a long, long time between them.
