Gratitude License

At 07:30 in the morning, the ladybug alarm clock next to the bed rang on time.

With his eyes closed, Xu Liang retrieved the alarm clock with his mind, put it in his arms, muttered for a long time, and finally said: "Sleep for another 5 minutes..."

Everyone who stays in bed knows that sleeping for another 5 minutes is bullshit, but after 5 minutes, Xu Liang really woke up.

With a pair of bright eyes open, he walked into the bathroom in a daze, and suddenly found a problem: Why did the shower head become shorter?

No, it seems that he has grown taller.

Xu Liang looked down at his body, a row of question marks appeared on his forehead, he couldn't understand the current situation at all, he seemed to have grown into an adult overnight.

There are so many hairs around jj, oh no, it's not hair, it's Mao Mao, An An just told him yesterday, yesterday...

He remembered that yesterday was Chang Jing's birthday, and he brought gifts to help him celebrate.

Originally, according to the weather at that time, it was not so easy for flowers to freeze in ice, but when he was passing through the park, he was hit on the head by a little magpie learning to fly.

Xu Liang planned to send the little magpie back to its nest, but when he looked up, he found dozens of nests hanging on the surrounding trees...

When Xu Liang finally arrived at Chang's house, the ice cubes had already melted, and the bag was half ice and half water, and there were still many broken flowers floating around.

Xu Liang's clothes were wrinkled, and he rubbed himself into a face when he climbed the tree.

For Chang Jing's birthday, five or six classmates were invited, all of whom were thirteen or fourteen years old. They all wore tailor-made clothes, which made them extraordinarily beautiful. Always clean and beautiful.

All the children were from good backgrounds, they were polite to Xu Liang face to face, and only started laughing at him when they turned around.

Of course Xu Liang didn't notice this, he just smiled and looked at Chang Jing, and clumsily took out the ice lump as a gift, but accidentally got the water in the bag all over himself.

"Ah! Cool!" Xu Liang clutched his chest, but he still didn't forget to say, "Happy birthday An An—"

The children couldn't help laughing, Chang Jing took the ice lump in silence, found a blue and white porcelain pot and put it next to the cake.

The table was full of gifts, but the location of Bing Tuo was particularly conspicuous. The other children were talking in low voices, but Xu Liang automatically blocked their voices, and reached out to pull Chang Jing, wanting to tell him about his presents.

From the first branch of wintersweet in spring to the pomegranate in full bloom in summer, as well as osmanthus in autumn and narcissus in winter, of course, there are more than that. Xu Liang added all the flowers he could find, plum blossom, peach blossom, pear blossom, crabapple, February orchid, purple flower, dandelion, four-leaf clover, snakeberry...

Xu Liang was able to name every flower, which made him a little proud, and wanted to tell Chang Jing to let him praise himself, but before he could open his mouth, Chang Jing left the table and left him with a group of unfamiliar teenagers. stay together.

After a while, one of the teenagers pointed to the ice lump and asked, "What is this?"

Xu Liang: "Birthday present, it's for An An."

"Don't worry, I won't snatch it from him. This gift of yours is pretty good, but it's melted, and the shape doesn't look good."

"Then what should we do?"

"You take a few more bites to make it round, it will look better."

Xu Liang thought about it, and the round shape seemed to be more beautiful than it is now, so he picked up the ice lump and started to chew.

The warm tongue sticks to the ice surface, and after just a few licks, it sticks to it and cannot come off.

There was a burst of laughter around, Xu Liang hugged the ice lump at a loss, his tongue stretched so long, but he couldn't pull it off no matter what.

At this time Chang Jing came back, Xu Liang raised his head with difficulty, and noticed at a glance that he had changed his clothes. The original small suit was replaced by a crumpled hoodie, the style was the same as Xu Liang's, and the chest was also printed There was a water mark.

Xu Liang wanted to call him Chang Jing, but he couldn't pronounce the sound "an". After trying several times, he always got "eng".

Chang Jing looked at those teenagers, "Who bullied Sha Liang?"

Several people made funny faces and didn't speak. In the end, the person involved took the initiative to admit, "I'm just teasing him. You can see that he is having a good time."

Chang Jing directly grabbed a handful of cream, pressed it hard on the boy's chest, and said with a smile, "Your clothes lack a flower."

Boy: "What are you doing! Aren't I just kidding around!"

Chang Jing: "I'm playing with you too, don't you like it? Then go play somewhere else."

After speaking, he brought Xu Liang into the bathroom, and without taking off his clothes, he took the shower to his face and rushed.

Xu Liang wanted to speak but couldn't. He was in a hurry to tear off the ice lump, so Chang Jing hurriedly held him down, "Don't move! If you pull your tongue again, it will fall off, and you won't be able to eat from now on."

Xu Liang became honest at once, Chang Jing rushed for a while, and successfully freed Xu Liang's tongue, but the ice also turned into a small lump, and the bathtub under their feet was filled with frozen flowers of various colors.

Xu Liang picked up a small flower from Chang Jing's shoulder, "This is Begonia."

Chang Jing: "Stupid or not, take off your clothes and help you take a bath."

After a while.

Xu Liang smiled and said, "An'an, you jj have long hair there."

Chang Jing: "..."

Xu Liang reached out to touch it, but Chang Jing slapped his paw away, "It's not hair, it's Mao Mao, don't touch it casually."

"Then why do you have hair?"

"Because I grew up."

"Then when will I grow up?"

"Should be soon." Chang Jing helped Xu Liang to soap up, grabbed a certain piece, and lifted it a little, so that he could lather up the place hidden underneath.

In the middle of rubbing, he suddenly pulled on the nearby skin.

Xu Liang hissed, "It hurts."

"It's right if it hurts." Chang Jing laughed, and pulled it lightly again, "There is also hair growing here, you are also an adult."

Standing under his shower head, Xu Liang looked down at the hair clumps between his legs, thinking that An'an was right, she is an adult when she grows fur, and it becomes so big after sleeping.

He was making bubbles between his crotch, scrubbing carefully, washing and washing, but suddenly he had a strange feeling, as if popping candy was spilled around his jj, something was jumping and swollen.

Xu Liang didn't dare to touch anymore, took a hasty bath, ran to the next street to find Chang Jing, wanted to ask him about growing up, but unexpectedly Chang Jing was not at home, so he had to come back in despair The door was in a daze.

In fact, he wasn't really in a daze, he was thinking about a very serious question - Chang Jing didn't seem to like the flowers he sent.

It is also said that flowers are used to send girls.

Xu Liang only thought that Chang Jing was beautiful, and so were the flowers, so he wanted to send him flowers, but he didn't expect that gifts should be divided into boys and girls.

Xu Liang didn't think of a reason until his eyes were dazzled by the sun. He got up and was about to go back to the house, but he heard a tinkling sound.

Looking around, I saw a bearded man running along the street, looking back while running, like a beggar hero in a movie avoiding vicious dogs that snatch food.

Xu Hao looked at him curiously, but he didn't see Xu Liang. He braked suddenly and stopped under the big pagoda tree next to the store, bowed his waist and put down the linen bag on his back, making another jingling sound.

Then, the pocket was opened and turned into a floral cloth, and various decorations of gold, carnation, bamboo and wood were spread all over the layer.

Panting heavily, the peddler fanned himself desperately with his cowboy hat, took off the coral lapis lazuli beeswax around his neck, and threw it on the cloth.

"Grandma, don't worry about the city! The Olympics are only at this speed, grandma! I've run out of my intestines! Let me meet you next time, and I'll let the dog bite you!"

The sun shines through the locust tree branches and twists and turns, shining on the small objects on the flower cloth.

Xu Liang likes everything that is warm and shiny, and he likes things that are warm and bright even more.

He walked up to the peddler and pointed to the fist-sized orange spar, "What is this?"

The peddler was about to light a cigarette, and when he heard the words, he glanced at Xu Liang, and his piercing eyes immediately put Xu Liang in the "poor" column, not bothering to talk nonsense to him, and said casually: "Diamonds, 500 million pieces, Don’t buy it, don’t read it.”

Xu Liang stared straight at the spar, "Such a big diamond! It's amazing!"

He didn't know much about jewelry, but his neighbors talked about diamonds when they had nothing to do. From the little girl to the old aunt, they updated the international quotations all day long, which taught him conditioned reflex.

There was a smile in the corner of the peddler's eyes, and he took a puff of cigarette unhurriedly, "Of course it's powerful, this is the biggest one in the world."

Xu Liang squatted deeper, almost touching his nose to the ground, "Aunt Qing likes diamonds the most, can I ask her to come and see?"

The peddler shook his index finger, "." He put the spar close to his body and put it away, "You are a predestined person, so you can just see it, others can't."

"Oh..." Xu Liang rubbed his nose, his eyes flicked around on the flower cloth, and soon pointed to another object, "What is this? It glows!"

"Huh?" The peddler picked up the gray bottle and rubbed it on his clothes, but he couldn't see any light, only the words like earthworms engraved on the bottle.

He rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment, thinking that not only was this person not very smart, but his eyes were also not very good, and the four big characters "Please lie to me" were written on his face. Sorry about communism.

The peddler held the bottle like a treasure, "This is a glazed jade bottle from the Tang Dynasty. The maid stole it from Concubine Yang's house. Later, An Lushan rebelled and used the bottle to wash the concubine's hair with shampoo. You Are you saying that you are powerful?"

Xu Liang rubbed his nose again, "Emerald...is it expensive?"

The peddler almost laughed out loud, "This is a priceless treasure, but you are destined, if you want it, I can give you 1 yuan."

"Ten thousand, then you can buy it next month." After Xu Liang said this, he was stunned for a moment, where did he get the money?

A light suddenly appeared in the hawker's eyes, "It's okay, it's okay, you look at it first, you can pay a deposit first after you choose, and WeChat Alipay cash is fine for the final payment."

Xu Liang took the bottle with a dazed expression, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. The little orange light on the bottle was like a cloth bag full of fireflies.

"But I don't know if he likes it or not." Xu Liang muttered in a low voice, his voice was so small that he couldn't hear it, but the peddler continued, "Do you want to give it to someone? Tell me, I'll make sure you give it to him as he likes."

"I want to give it away, what do you think I will give it?" Xu Liang's attitude is very sincere, like a patient asking the doctor in the hospital how many days I have to live.

Vendor: "That depends on who you send."

"Give it to An An." Xu Liang laughed.

Seeing his expression, the peddler understood a little bit, "An'an, girl, right?"

"Boys are not girls, so don't give them to girls."

"Oh...men."

"Yes, man."

The two looked at each other with blinking eyes, the peddler was waiting for Xu Liang to speak, but Xu Liang just looked at him expectantly, no different from those idiots who want to calculate the rest of their lives just by saying their names.

Vendor: "Tell me more about what he does and what he likes. The more the better."

"Work..." Xu Liang looked up at the sky.

"What are his characteristics?"

Xu Liang sketched Chang Jing's appearance in his mind, but what he saw was not the 14-year-old boy yesterday, but a tall and slender young man.

But he could recognize that young people are also Changjing.

Xu Liang's mind was a little confused, and the memories of different periods were mixed together like a stew.

"He wears... black." Xu Liang said.

"The funeral business? I tell fortunes, and I'm half of him."

"It's that kind of black." Xu Liang pointed to a pedestrian.

"A suit! That's not right, an insurance seller?"

Xu Liang shook his head, "Last time, he beat up an insurance seller and told me to ignore them."

The peddler shrank his neck subconsciously, "Urban management?"

"I also beat the city management."

"..." The peddler wiped off his sweat, thinking that it must be the underworld, "Does he live near here? Are you coming today?"

Xu Liang pointed to the end of the street, "That house, that house, and that house, he has jobs in those three houses, but he's only 14 years old...I don't know..."

The peddler shrank into the shadow of the old locust tree, and tentatively said: "You, friend, it can't be such a coincidence, is it surnamed Chang?"

"That's right! His name is Chang Si'an!" Xu Liang excitedly grabbed the peddler's hand and pulled him under the street lamp, "You are so amazing! Tell me, what gift should I give him?"

The peddler's heart was thumping, and the heart said that he scared the baby to death, it really is a gangster!And it's big black!Grandma, Master Di, is having a bad year!

He wanted to dodge his hand, but found that Xu Liang was so strong that he couldn't break free, so he picked up a plate from the cloth and stuffed it to Xu Liang, "Give this! Your friend will definitely need it, this can be used." keep us safe!"

Xu Liang didn't understand why Chang Jing needed to keep safe. Chang Jing had never lost a fight. No matter who came to bully him, Chang Jing could help him bully him back.

Xu Liang scratched his head and asked, "Will he like it?"

"If you like it, you are guaranteed to like it, and I will give you a discount today, only 998! Take home an antique from the Han Dynasty!"

After the hawker finished speaking, as if he was afraid that it was not enough, he turned over the plate and pointed to the inscription on the bottom, "Look, it says safe here, it's the most suitable gift for your friends!"

"Great!"

As soon as Xu Liang finished speaking, he caught a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

The man walked towards him with his back facing the glare of the sun, every step he took formed an invisible fishing net, gradually gathering up messy memories.

Xu Liang looked at Chang Jing stupidly, and said after a while, "You have grown up too."
