door of eternal life

[The text of this chapter: Different growth paths, childhood sweethearts in childhood, and unknowingly first love, who fell in love with whom? 】

Qing's life is as usual, the youngest child in the family will always get more care and love, just like a young master, but Qing is not a child who is spoiled and arrogant, on the contrary, he is very calm, polite, loving Reading, never fighting and causing trouble, is more worry-free than boys of the same age.Everyone always said, why does he have so many books to read, and he never gets bored.Every time she is praised by her elders, Qing feels anxious. She always feels that she is still far from their praise. The more books she reads, the stronger this mentality becomes. There are really too many books to read. I think Thinking of Huangshan Valley, it is no wonder that future generations will lament "it is too late to read books in this life".

When Yu was promoted to the second year of junior high school, Qing entered the first year of junior high school, and his elementary school deskmate Si Kongkuo was also admitted to the same key middle school in the city as him. What's more, they were still deskmates. This makes Qing who is not good at chatting and making friends feel very at ease, and Kuo dances with joy.

After entering middle school, because the school is far away from home, they no longer go home to eat at noon, and they all settle in the school cafeteria.Qing couldn’t get used to school meals, so he started bringing lunch from home every day. Seeing that Qing didn’t go to the cafeteria at noon, but ate alone in the classroom, he didn’t go either, and brought lunch from home every day. eat together.

Kuo’s mother scolded Kuo at the beginning: “It’s so convenient to eat in the cafeteria, you have to bring some food, when did you become so delicate!” Kuo said that Qing eats alone in the classroom every day, and I eat with him.When his mother stir-fries Qing's favorite dishes, he always asks him to fry more and put them in a single lunch box for Qing to eat.

His mother made fun of him: "Yun Ziqing is your wife, so caring. Besides, why have I never seen you care so much about your brother?"

Kuo retorted, "My brother doesn't have a stomach problem! You haven't seen how uncomfortable a young criminal is when he has a stomach problem. He is my best friend. Of course I have to care about him!"

His mother said, "Yun Ziqing's family doesn't lack these, and you still need to bring them to him?"

"His house belongs to his family, and ours belongs to ours. It's different! Besides, he often lends me books."

"Then put more in your lunch box. If you can't eat in one lunch box, why do you want to serve it alone?"

Kuo stared at his mother helplessly and said, "Qing has a cleanliness habit, so she won't eat in the same lunch box as others!"

His mother smiled and shook her head.Her son has been benevolent since he was a child, and benevolent children have many friends, and there will be many people who can help them when they encounter difficulties in the future. Therefore, when rich friends come to play at home, she always stays with them for dinner, making a big table full Treat them with meals.But the friends who are rich are very envious. They keep boasting that Kuo's mother is good, and the cooking is delicious. She also laughed happily when Kuo learned from her, and she became more energetic when receiving the children.She has seen this child Yun Ziqing before, he is really handsome and quiet, he is polite and thoughtful at a young age, he has a gentle manner, and he is good at studying, no matter how he looks at it, he likes it, although he doesn't come often, but Kuo Mouth never mentions it less Well, such an excellent child became the same position and good friend with Kuo, and brought him a more or less refined air, of course she was very happy.Gradually, she also knew what Qing liked to eat. When cooking, without waiting for Kuo to say anything, she put a special lunch box in it and said to Kuo, "Ah Kuo, bring Qing to eat this lunch."

Qing doesn't care if he eats it once in a while, but he doesn't want to eat it all the time. Eat it, or I will have leucorrhea."

Qing said: "Then you can eat it yourself, I can't finish the food I brought myself."

Kuo put half of the green vegetables into his lunch box and said, "Isn't that all right? Let's eat in exchange, and there are more varieties."

Qing glared at him and had to eat.Slowly, the two began to eat together at noon. Qing always allocated most of the beef and chicken he brought to Kuo.Qing's appetite is not big, and when Kuo brings him an extra dish, he basically can't finish it, and there will always be some left over.Mr. Kuo stretched out his head to look inside Qing's lunch box, and said that the farmer uncle's blood and sweat should not be wasted, and at the same time put all the leftover food in Qing's lunch box and ate them all, and finally even washed the lunch box and spoon for Qing clean up.

As a result, Kuo's habit of giving green belt vegetables could not be changed even during the holidays.As long as there is a dish that Qing likes at noon, he will ask his mother to fry more in the lunch box and put another rice, "I will go to Qing to play in a while, no one at his house will cook for him at noon. He’ll take it, or he’ll have takeaway again.” After Kuo finished speaking, he picked up the phone and called Qing, “Qing, you haven’t had lunch yet...don’t order, don’t order...you wait for me, I'll send it to you right away."

I don't know what Qing said over there, so I heard Kuo say: "Oh, my mother is ready... Don't order, don't order!"

After finishing speaking, he hung up, then hurriedly finished the meal, packed the lunch box, hung it on the handlebar of the bicycle, rode on the bicycle and ran away like a gust of wind, only to hear his mother shouting from behind: "Slow down!" !"

During the summer vacation, Qing did not know how many rich lunches he ate.If Qing hadn't put on a straight face in the end and said that if the food was delivered more than once a week, he would never eat it again, and Kuo would have delivered food every day throughout the holiday.

Hearing Qing's protest, Kuo said with a smile, "Let's just pay for borrowing books."

Qing then said, "Borrowing books is free!"

Don't argue about wealth, he knows that since Qing said it seriously, there is no need to discuss it, it is best not to go against Qing's meaning, Qing will do what he says.Only then did I change the habit of delivering meals, and only came to borrow books to read.

When he was in school, Qing asked his mother to prepare more meals for him. Only then did Qing’s mother know that Kuo often brought green vegetables for him, and now he always brings meals to Qing during the summer vacation. Said: "Sikong Kuo comes again, you let him stay for dinner tonight, such a good friend is rare, you have to thank him for caring about you."

Qing has never invited his classmates to eat at home, it feels weird, and he seldom went to his classmates for dinner, except for the only two times, he was dragged by Kuo to go to Kuo's house with a few classmates, and said: " No, he's not without food."

Zilan shook his head beside him, and then jokingly said: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, raw, sexual, cool, thin."

Qing squinted at her and ignored her.

Their father tapped Zilan's head lightly with the tail of his chopsticks, and said with a half smile and half annoyance: "How can you say that about your brother?"

Ziyi was very protective of his little brother, so he glared at Zilan: "That's right, you are enthusiastic by nature! That's why friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Anyway, you are also rushing to X University, why can't you even say a word .”

Qing smiled and looked at Zilan, blinked, raised her left eyebrow, but still didn't speak.

Zilan said unconvinced: "Mom, Dad and brother are too used to Qing."

Their mother smiled, looked at the three children lovingly, and said, "I see, I'm too spoiled with you, and I don't have the slightest sense of propriety when talking to each of you."

Zilan blinked, tongue-tied: "This...this...why did it still lead the fire to me?"

The family laughed from ear to ear.

Soon, more than half of the summer vacation passed, and at this time Yu came.

A few days before the holiday, Qing had already finished all his homework for the summer vacation, so that he could arrange his time freely and comfortably during the vacation, but he basically just read books or watched movies, but sometimes he felt dizzy, no matter how much he liked Even quiet people sometimes feel bored.Brother Ziyi is in his third year of junior high school, and he went back to school early for an internship just a few days after the start of the summer vacation. My sister Zilan is a sophomore in high school, and is busy attending various extracurricular remedial classes every day like rushing to the market, and only comes back at night.Fortunately, Kuo often came to find Qing to borrow books. He always said that Qing’s home was a library with all aspects and all kinds, but there were too few books on martial arts and military affairs, which were not enough to satisfy his appetite. He brought a bunch of Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Hanyu, Wen Ruian, etc., sometimes brought some of their own military documentaries, military biographies and other books, and stuffed them all in Qing's bookcase, saying that they would help Qing enrich themselves. When he wanted to read them, he would go to Qing's bookcase. Take it at home.

Qing was very happy with Yu's arrival, although she didn't express much on the surface.Since he was young, he and Yu have been closer than others. Although they don't often see each other, this is an inexplicable psychological closeness. He feels that Yu is different from the children of other relatives. He can't say exactly what is different, anyway. is different.Qing knows that Yu's stepmother treats Yu very badly, so he always feels that he should treat Yu better and get closer to Yu than others, so that Yu can be as happy as possible during his time at his home and like to come to their home.When the two are at home, they will read books together, or watch TV or movies while talking and discussing. They will order takeaway at noon, take a nap in the afternoon, and Qing will stay up late at night to read and write.When Qing's mother gave Qing pocket money, Qing asked her mother, "Did you give Yu pocket money?" Her mother nodded and said, "Yes, it's more than what I gave you. When you buy food and go out to play, you Pay as much as you can, don't let Yu pay, let him keep more money in his hand." Qing nodded knowingly.But when it came time to actually pay, Yu never let Qing pay. He said, "Auntie gave me pocket money just to eat and go out." I quietly told my mother to give Yu some more money.

From time to time, Kuo would ask them to go swimming together.Qing has never been able to swim, so Kuo put a swimming ring on his head, let him flop around in the shallow water, and turned around to plunge into the deep water.Yu had taken swimming lessons before, and knew all of breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle. Seeing that Qing was circling around in a swimming ring, he began to teach Qing how to swim.

Mr. Qing couldn't learn it. He suspected that he lacked motor nerves, so Yu encouraged him, saying that he was the same when he was learning to swim, relax, don't be nervous, he won't sink, and besides, he was watching.Qingcai gained a little bit of confidence. After practicing all afternoon, he was finally able to get rid of the game circle and swim five or six meters forward.Yu said that he would continue to teach and practice next time, and he would definitely learn it before the end of the summer vacation.

Kuo came back after swimming enough in the deep water area. Seeing that Qing was learning how to swim, he stood on the other side of Qing, and while he was always ready to fish up the sinking Qing, he wondered why he hadn’t thought of teaching Qing to swim before. , I always feel that it is enough if I can swim, as long as he is beside me, I will not be able to drown Qing.

When Qing was happy about her small progress, the rhythm of her hands and feet became chaotic. She swiped here and there, stepped on this west, and became nervous all of a sudden. He still remembers keeping his mouth tightly shut, holding his breath, and not pouring water, but he was really panicked.

Yu and Kuo saw that something was wrong, so they swam over quickly, Qing sank to the bottom of the water, didn't dare to open their eyes, grabbed their hands and feet randomly, and didn't know who they touched, and when they missed it, Kuo grabbed his armpits from behind After being picked up, Yu stood in front of him, rubbed his face vigorously, stared at him and asked, "Are you all right?"

Qing took a few deep breaths, shook his head, splashed water, panted and said: "It's all right." The sunlight slanting down from the skylight shrouded his face in gold, and the water droplets shone brightly. Yu looked at it for a while. Be a little dazed.

However, from then until the end of the summer vacation, although she still went swimming with Yu and Kuo, Ao never dared to leave the swimming circle.He likes looking at lakes and rivers, rivers and seas, and everything related to water, but he just can't learn to swim.

Sometimes the three of them would also go to the bookstore. Qing was very slow in picking books, and the books he read were also mixed. He had to constantly compare the differences between editions and the quality of translations. Everyone, Kuo likes to browse through the bookshelves of martial arts, military affairs, and history, while Yu reads books on introductory economics. When Kuo sees the books that Yu holds, his eyes widen in surprise.

Till they were tired and thirsty, they went out of the bookstore and went into the ice cream parlor, each choosing a flavor, eating sweet ice cream and enjoying the coolness of the air conditioner.The ice cream that Qing can't finish will always be wiped out by Kuo.

Yu felt that his custard ice cream tasted pretty good, so he took a spoonful of it and brought it to Qing's mouth for Qing to taste. Qing opened his mouth to catch it, and slowly tasted it in his mouth. After tasting, he said, "Well, this tastes good Okay." Kuo stared at Qing again, took a spoonful of his own chocolate ice cream and brought it to Qing's mouth, Qing stared at the spoonful of ice cream, and said for a moment, "I don't like this flavor very much."

Kuo said, "Try it, just a little bit." Qingcai touched the ice cream with his lips and took a symbolic sip.Kuo ate the rest.

Yu looked at Kuo, the corners of his mouth pulled up inconspicuously, he didn't speak, and lowered his head to eat his own ice cream.

Qing saw that Kuo's mood was a little low, he was not talking and laughing like before, and felt a little sorry for Kuo in his heart, so he wanted to adjust, and asked Kuo: "Have you finished your summer homework?"

Kuo shook his head and said, "No, anyway, there is still a week before leaving school, so don't worry."

"Do you want me to lend you a copy?" Qing offered.

"I can't wish for it!" Kuo laughed, and after thinking about it, he said, "Why don't you do your good work to the end, I still have five diaries to write, and you wrote them for me?"

"Okay." Qing readily agreed.

Kuo was so happy that his face was full of smiles, Yu's eyes swept over Qing and looked at Kuo again, he also smiled with them, and put the last bite of ice cream into his mouth.
