SAYE

After this night, Jiang Cheng felt that his mind suddenly became as calm as water.

He hadn't inquired about Li Hui's situation, but in a place like the steel mill, the communication of everything was efficient and comprehensive.

Gu Fei's small store and the community hospital next to it are both information transfer stations.

The first news was that the whole family of the eldest son of the Li family had been beaten to death. Later, someone refuted the rumor, saying no, the child was not dead, and later corrected, saying that Li Hui was dead.

There are different opinions on the cause of death, the debt collector who owed usury was beaten to death, and the daughter-in-law's adulterer was beaten to death, these two are the mainstream.

But within a week, the truth surfaced again.

He didn't die, Li Hui was beaten into a plant, and the one who beat him has not been caught yet.

Jiang Cheng didn't know all about these discussions, and Gu Fei wouldn't tell him. He only caught a few ears when he was in the store, and every time he saw him, the sources of information would pay attention to avoiding them.

For Jiang Cheng, no matter what kind of news it was, it was no longer important. This person who was his closest relative by blood would never have any interaction with him in the days to come.

He changed the phone number he had used for a long time, and the person who disappeared from his life with this number was not just Li Hui.

As the temperature drops day by day, the leaves on the trees become less and less day by day. In the days when the cold and dry air makes the nose itchy and uncontrollable and always sleepy, the third year of No. [-] Middle School finally has the atmosphere that it should have before the college entrance examination. .

In the corridors and classrooms, there are all kinds of inspirational slogans and slogans, black characters on red background, black characters on white background, accompanied by huge exclamation marks. Every time Jiang Cheng saw it, he couldn't help shouting in his heart, except There are also reminders that time is running out.

No time students!

The college entrance examination is coming!

ah!It's just ahead!

...it's scary.

Time passes very slowly most of the time, and only when I look back will I be shocked to realize "it has been so long".

Jiang Cheng was half lying on the table, turning the pen in his hand, looking at the math teacher from the ear of Zhou Jing who was sitting upright for some reason today.

For these people in the classroom, time is passing very slowly at this moment. Maybe at this time next year, they will only find out when they look back that the year of senior year in high school flashed by so fast that they could not leave any memory.

Jiang Cheng didn't feel that the time was slow at the moment, he felt that the time passed too fast and was not enough at all.

Not enough time to endorse.

Not enough time for questions.

Not enough time for lectures.

Not enough time to go out for a walk with my boyfriend.

Not enough time to look at the new picture of my boyfriend.

Not enough time to see... Sister-in-law's new hairstyle.

……

When he looks back at this time next year, no, no matter what time it is, next year, the year after, five years later, or ten years later, when he looks back, the memories of this year will always be full and full.

"You changed the profile picture of the green-haired rabbit. Didn't Gu Miao rush with you?" Jiang Cheng asked while sorting out the notes from the previous class when get out of class was over.

Gu Fei's avatar changed from a green rabbit to a photo of Gu Miao.

The little girl's new hairstyle, Li Yan gave her a short BOBO hairstyle after her hair grew long, the bangs were more than 3000 miles away from her eyebrows, in the photo she raised one eyebrow in a good mood, she looked quite arrogant and individual.

"It's okay, she changed it for me," Gu Fei said, "Go pee?"

"Ah, I..." Jiang Cheng paused.

"You don't know, do you?" Gu Fei sighed and stood up, "Let's go pee."

"I want to say that there doesn't seem to be such a need," Jiang Cheng clicked his tongue, then stood up, "Just tell me to accompany you to make the toilet."

"You don't need to accompany me," Gu Fei immediately said, "Really, I don't need to accompany you. You can go back to the classroom."

Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes.

"Go back, please," Gu Fei said, "Let me go to the toilet alone, let me bravely walk to that toilet alone."

"I'm sick," Jiang Cheng walked downstairs with him, "I'm a little hungry, shall I go to the canteen to buy something to eat later? Zhou Jing said that now we're starting to sell oden."

"Okay." Gu Fei nodded.

"I think it's very good about No. [-] Middle School," Jiang Cheng swallowed, "Our school's canteen was canceled after half a semester, and the cafeteria didn't sell food until the meal time. If you didn't bring some yourself If you want to eat, you have to starve to death before eating."

"The canteen in No. [-] High School earns a lot every month," Gu Fei said with a smile, "It's much, much more than my store."

"It's just that no one has time to take care of your store, or else it wouldn't be possible," Jiang Cheng sighed, "The first time I went there was because it looked cleaner than other stores."

"If you didn't go to my place, you would have to lie on the ground for at least an hour longer that day." Gu Fei said.

"Fart." Jiang Cheng replied simply.

"Really, Liu Fan and the others are against me even if I want to bring you into the house," Gu Fei smiled, "This area is messy, and many people are afraid of getting into trouble."

"Then why did you let me in?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"You helped Gu Miao," Gu Fei said, "and in front of Gu Miao, I can't let her watch her brother die without saving him."

"I just fainted for a while and I wasn't about to die!" Jiang Cheng corrected him.

"Actually, the main reason is that you are good-looking." Gu Fei gave him a thumbs up, "You are handsome."

Jiang Cheng clicked his tongue.

The oden in the school canteen tastes very good, but it's a pity that it's almost cold in the classroom from the canteen.

Jiang Cheng is now able to eat like the Romans while listening to the class while bowing his head, and he is a little envious of someone in the 7th class next door who brought an electric cup to the classroom to cook... Of course, the buddy who brought the cup did a school-wide review, It is said that it was reported by a classmate who could not eat hot food in class.

"Jiang Cheng!" Lao Lu roared from the podium.

Jiang Cheng was lowering his head and piercing the last fish ball to his mouth. When Lao Lu roared, his hand shook, and even the fish ball and bamboo stick fell to the ground.

"Ah..." He whispered in pain, the feeling of only one fish ball left was already very depressing, but it turned out that the last one hadn't been eaten yet. inside.

He really wanted to pick it up and put it in the soup to wash it before eating it.

"I'm not talking about you! You are very tired from studying now, so I won't say anything if you want to sneak something in class!" Lao Lu pointed at him, "But aren't you eating too slowly! What about this food class? Those who didn’t know thought you bought a table full of Chinese banquets! You come up here! Translate this passage!”

Jiang Cheng carefully put the paper bowl into the table bucket, there was still some soup in it, and he could drink it later to satisfy his hunger.

When he stepped onto the podium, he had just picked up a piece of chalk when Lao Lu had already handed over the half of it in his hand: "Use this! You don't need to press it hard! I'll finish it for you!"

"...Oh." Jiang Cheng took the chalk and began to write on the blackboard.

Usually at this time, the teachers of other subjects will no longer ask people to come up with questions, and they will stop talking every minute, or they will do the papers and then talk about the papers, emphasizing the key points over and over again.

Here are the key points, there are the key points, these are the key points, and those are all tested!After listening for a while, I feel that there is no such thing as non-emphasis in the textbook.

Only Lao Lu persisted in taking roll calls in every class. He felt that this was the reason why the students were relatively concentrated during his class.

"The writing has improved." Lao Lu looked at the translation questions written by Jiang Cheng on the blackboard, "I have improved, not bad. If I judge the paper, I can not deduct points for this word."

"Thank you, Teacher Lu." Jiang Cheng said.

It is true that calligraphy has improved. He knows in his heart that every day when he endorses, he will write down the key points on the draft paper to deepen his impression and practice calligraphy by the way.

According to Gu Fei, he finally understood it.

"Da Fei!" Wang Xu squeezed Zhou Jing away and sat at the front table when school was over, "Jiang Cheng!"

"Huh?" Jiang Cheng responded, bowed his head and continued writing the unfinished paper for the last class.

"I'll be fine for a while," Wang Xu said, "Go eat pie, my dad has made a new flavor, go try it?"

"What new flavor?" Gu Fei asked.

"Corn stuffing," Wang Xu said, "actually, I don't say how special it is, but it tastes good. Really, do you want to eat it?"

Gu Fei glanced at Jiang Cheng.

"Hey! I'm convinced," Wang Xu waved his hand, "I shouldn't have asked you...Jiang Cheng in the first place?"

"Okay." Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded.

Sooner or later, both Wang Xu and Zhou Jing will be silenced. Wang Xu can stay for a few more days, after all, he can provide delicious pies.

"Call Er Miao?" Wang Xu said.

"Stop barking," Gu Fei said, "Today my mother made wontons for her."

"That's fine," Wang Xu stood up, "Let's go, let's go."

Jiang Cheng had a very tight schedule every day. He went back to the rental house after school and didn't go to the shop anymore. Because the efficiency was not very high during the time waiting for the meal, he was somewhat distracted, so he was asked by Gu Fei to directly Back to the rental house, he prepared food and sent it over.

After dinner, there are basically no other activities this evening, just reading books, endorsing and doing questions.

Of course, there is still time for entertainment and relaxation. Although bed activities are physically demanding, they are very refreshing...

Going to Wang Xu's house to eat pie today is the first popular leisure and entertainment in two months.

"I used to think that Yi Jing was enough to be a top student," Wang Xu sighed while riding his bicycle, "I didn't know until I saw Jiang Cheng."

"Isn't Yi Jing very hardworking?" Gu Fei said.

"It doesn't feel the same," Wang Xu glanced at Jiang Cheng, "I've noticed during this time, Jiang Cheng is much thinner than Yi Jing."

"...Shut up." Jiang Cheng said.

It can’t be said that I lost weight anymore. Gu Fei’s daily meals, whether it is in terms of ingredients or portion, are all aimed at raising high-quality pigs. Wang Xu’s sentence is thinner. Gu Fei can probably open his mouth and stuff it. .

"Hey," Wang Xu rode to Jiang Cheng's side, "Jiang Xueba, have you decided which school to take the exam? Have you decided on a major?"

"No." Jiang Cheng said.

"Fuck me?" Wang Xu was stunned, "Doesn't everyone say that a top student is determined not to go to a certain university when he was young, and finally passed the exam, so inspirational, why haven't you thought about it until now?"

"I," Jiang Cheng turned his head to look at him, "I can go wherever I want, I don't have to make aspirations since childhood."

"...Fuck you, uncle," Wang Xu glared at him, "I can't see you as a poor and showy academic bully!"

"I'm not poor and showing off," Jiang Cheng smiled, "I'm just showing off."

"I'm mad at you." Gu Fei said next to him.

"Damn it!" Wang Xu yelled, "Can you two correct your attitude, now you are going to my house for a meal! Can you give the provider of this meal a little tenderness?"

Wang Xu's father, Wang Er... doesn't seem to be called Wang Er, but Jiang Cheng never asked what it was called. Anyway, Wang's father's pie is indeed the best pie he has ever eaten since he grew up.

This kind of pie with corn stuffing without a few diced meat is actually delicious.

Of course, after devouring a pile of corn fritters, he added three big pork belly ones.

"My God," Wang Xu's mother looked at the empty basket on the table when she brought them snacks in. "How do you eat so fast?"

"He's putting on autumn fat." Wang Xu pointed to Jiang Cheng. "Xueba is different from us. Xueba just eats like this, and he's getting thinner every day."

"You have the nerve to say it," Wang Xu's mother slapped him on the back of the head, "You eat it all on your body, and it's useless for your brain at all!"

"Hey!" Wang Xu gave his mother a shameless look, "Don't touch me in front of my classmates!"

"What's wrong with you! What's wrong with you!" Wang Xu's mother slapped him on the head again.

"It would be silly." Gu Fei said.

"Oh, it's too late. I've been doing this since I was a child. I might be stupid." Wang Xu's mother put two plates of beef jerky on the table. "Try it, it's fragrant, spicy and not hard."

Jiang Cheng took one and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Does Jiang Cheng like our pies?" Wang Xu's mother asked with a smile.

"Yes," Jiang Cheng nodded, "It's very delicious."

"We have new varieties on the market during the Chinese New Year," she said, "If you feel that the food at home is too greasy during the Chinese New Year, you can come here to eat pies!"

Jiang Cheng was taken aback for a moment before he nodded: "Okay."

"You talk too much," Wang Xu pushed his mother, "Go ahead, let's chat for a while."

After Wang Xu's mother went out, Wang Xu went over and closed the box door: "Jiang Cheng, I'm sorry, my mother doesn't know..."

"It's okay," Jiang Cheng smiled, "It's really okay."

New Year approached.

Wang Xu's mother didn't say this, and he didn't even notice that it was almost Chinese New Year.

I only know that the winter vacation is coming soon, but there will be make-up classes during the winter vacation. Everyone in the class expressed that they could not accept this cruel reality.

But Jiang Cheng never connected the winter vacation with the Chinese New Year.

Maybe I didn't dare to think about it at all.

Being as calm as water does not mean that you can stay still during the Chinese New Year.

After all, it is a day of reunion of thousands of families, prosperity and trance hahahaha...

The Chinese people's attachment to the Chinese New Year and the unresolved sadness of not being able to go home for the New Year seem to be engraved in their bones. changed.

Children in red padded jackets running and setting off firecrackers, the smell of gunpowder smoke in the cold air, people rushing home, people buying new year’s goods in the market, various reports about the Spring Festival travel on TV, the streets and alleys will never stop. The changed "New Year's special songs"... everything seemed to be shouting in unison, New Year's Eve!

It was only now that Jiang Cheng suddenly came to his senses that the Chinese New Year was coming.

In the past, I didn’t feel much about Chinese New Year. I ate, drank, visited relatives, and went out with my classmates every day. The only thing I realized was that school started before I had enough fun. Why can’t the winter vacation be equal to the summer vacation.

But now he is a little confused.

New Year's Eve.

How are you doing?

Where have you been?

... Do you want to live?

"We usually spend the Chinese New Year in the store," Gu Fei said as he walked back after eating the pies, "Er Miao likes to celebrate the New Year in the store. It is convenient for her to come in and out and set off firecrackers."

"Isn't she afraid of the sound of setting off firecrackers?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"Don't be afraid, I really like it. When someone sets off firecrackers, she will fly down on the skateboard." Gu Fei smiled. "Last year, my hair was burnt."

Jiang Cheng laughed for a long time.

"Come over with me this year," Gu Fei said, "Come and eat after the meal is ready, and then we'll set off cannons together, and after that, go back and review."

"Yes." Jiang Cheng nodded.

"If you don't think it's lively enough, call Li Yan and Liu Fan over," Gu Fei said, "Anyway, they can't stay at home after dinner."

"Do you like to be lively?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"It doesn't matter to me," Gu Fei said, "In the past, my family celebrated the New Year...it was just me and Er Miao, and my mother usually went out after dinner."

"Oh," Jiang Cheng thought for a while, "Then tell them to come over and make trouble together, Er Miao should be happy?"

"Let's talk about it first," Gu Fei looked at him with a smile, "If they come over, you can go back to review by yourself at night, and I will definitely be dragged to play all night."

"No problem." Jiang Cheng rode close to him and patted him on the shoulder.

Gu Fei basically didn't go out with Li Yan and the others this semester, and he just surrounded him every day. Jiang Cheng felt that if Pan Zhi got a girlfriend one day, he wouldn't be able to find anyone. He must be upset.

Regarding the Chinese New Year, Jiang Cheng thought about this night, and then returned to his usual review track. He didn't feel like the winter vacation was coming, and he didn't feel like the make-up classes for the winter vacation were picked up at the end of the semester. He himself admired himself for being a strong-willed person. Good boy.

Gu Fei stayed with him four or five days a week, and went to bed after reciting books with him and eating supper, but these two days he had been leaning against the bedside and playing with his mobile phone.

"Playing with the mentally handicapped?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"No, I don't have time to play. Li Yan is almost over 20 levels away, and he's doing amazingly every day. If you have nothing to do, send me screenshots." Gu Fei said.

"Are you so busy?" Jiang Cheng glanced at him.

"Yeah," Gu Fei nodded with a serious face, "Accompanying my boyfriend to review every day, this time the final exam has passed more than 50 points, and Lao Xu still pulled me to tears that day."

"Actually, you..." Before Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he continued to lower his head and write the paper.

In fact, if you work hard, your grades will not be bad, but if you say this, it may make Gu Fei think something, so he swallowed it forcefully.

"Actually, you can sleep first and don't have to wait for me." Jiang Cheng said.

"I didn't wait for you," Gu Fei handed the phone in front of his eyes, "I'm looking up the recipe."

"New Year's Eve dinner?" Jiang Cheng looked around.

"Well," Gu Fei continued to look at his phone, "In the past, for Chinese New Year, my mother just made a pot to cook and then made some dumplings. Sometimes I didn't bother to make dumplings and just bought some quick-frozen dumplings from the store. Let's make it official this year. It's our first year together."

Jiang Cheng smiled: "Are you in charge of the spoon?"

"You don't have confidence in me?" Gu Fei asked.

"Ah," Jiang Cheng glanced at the empty supper bowl that was still on the table. Today's supper is Sixi meatballs, five of which are the size of a fist.

"What's delicious about vegetarian dishes? Don't you like meat?" Gu Fei said.

"Student Gu," Jiang Cheng sighed, "I've been liking vegetables a little bit lately, green leafy vegetables, non-green ones are fine, Chinese cabbage is also fine."

"Okay," Gu Fei said, "Let's stew Chinese cabbage for supper tomorrow."

"...I won't dislike putting some meat on properly." Jiang Cheng sighed.

"Didn't you say you want to eat vegetarian dishes?" Gu Fei said.

"Do you only have meat and vegetarian options?" Jiang Cheng was speechless. "Okay, I want to eat meat and vegetables!"

"That's called a combination of meat and vegetables." Gu Fei corrected him.

Jiang Cheng pointed at him, didn't say anything, just lowered his head and continued to endorse.

The remedial classes during the winter vacation have been made up until the 28th of the Lunar New Year, leaving everyone a day off. According to Lao Xu’s words, this is the time for everyone to go home and clean up the house to accompany their parents to buy new year’s goods.

Early in the morning, Jiang Cheng was called up by Gu Fei.

"Why go?" Jiang Cheng asked in bewilderment.

"Shopping for vegetables." Gu Fei threw off his quilt while putting on his clothes.

"No." Jiang Cheng pulled back the quilt and covered it again, "Didn't you run to the supermarket whenever you had time a few days ago? I was worried that you were going to empty out the supermarket and haven't bought everything yet?"

"That's different." Gu Fei leaned on the head of the bed and smiled, "Don't you want to experience the joyful process of buying new year's goods with your boyfriend?"

"...Crazy," Jiang Cheng laughed, "Okay, let's get up."

28 is already full of New Year flavor, when Jiang Cheng wakes up and washes up, he can hear the voices of talking and laughing outside, and... the noise of quarreling is louder and much more lively than usual.

He brushed his teeth as he walked to the window and looked down.

There are several ugly snowmen with broken buckets on their heads on the snowy ground, a group of little kids are running wildly, a child is crying at the top of his lungs, and he doesn’t know who to scold, and two of them are standing on the side of the road To the person who yelled, an old man, an old lady.

It's been a year.

Jiang Cheng suddenly felt a little emotional. Looking at the messy scene downstairs, it was the first time that he wasn't bothered by the chaos.

It was also the first time that he felt a completely different feeling during the Chinese New Year. He actually looked forward to the annoying activity of crowding people in the supermarket to grab New Year's goods and then queuing up to pay for the money.
