Fork in the road

After Bai Xiaoyuan chose the flowerpot, he looked at the address of the seller in the same community as himself, and placed the order with satisfaction.I have already made an appointment with the other party about when to do offline transactions. Anyway, Bai Xiaoyuan is on summer vacation, and other than going to cram school, the other time is very free, and the transaction location is in his own community, so he can't walk a few steps. Son.

But speaking of it, it wasn't long before Bai Xiaoyuan moved here, and the fountain in the middle of the neighborhood that the other party mentioned hadn't passed by a few times.Let's step on it on the way to make up lessons today.

Bai Xiaoyuan bought flower pots to plant some flowers and plants to cultivate his sentiments.Seeing that he was about to go to high school, he was afraid that he would put too much pressure on himself, so he thought of ways to relax himself before entering school, and he was about to relax into a useless person.With zero experience, he is very pragmatic and decided to start from cactus.His cactus is not bad. Anyway, he bought it directly from the flower market. It was just summer vacation when he came here, and now the summer vacation is almost over. It was as big as it was before, and it is still the same size now—maybe there is a change in size that is invisible to the naked eye, and the ball There was a lot of dust on it, Bai Xiaoyuan didn't bother to wipe it for fear of pricking his hands.

As for why the flower pots were changed, it was about Ms. Bai Xinhong, the head of the family.Although Ms. Bai is so busy all year round that she can't stay at home for a few days, this does not prevent her from being the head of the family when she sees the black plastic flower pots with cacti on the balcony that are still stained with dirt. Seeing Bai Xiaoyuan picky: "Either change the flowerpot, or don't grow it. The balcony I arranged is not for you to put this kind of plastic flowerpot."

What else could Bai Xiaoyuan do?All I can say is "follow the Queen Mother's order".

The choice of this flowerpot is also up to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager can only give instructions remotely when she is away from home. Her evaluation of Bai Xiaoyuan's aesthetics is extremely spicy. Bai Xiaoyuan lost a lot of hair during the summer vacation. It's the one that suits his empress dowager—but the summer vacation is almost over at this time, and this horrible experience runs through his entire happy summer vacation when he was a junior high school student.

The last thing I picked was a small ceramic basin, light in color, gray and unremarkable, but there were some small patterns on it when you looked closely.But Bai Xiaoyuan wasn't too picky in the first place, as long as he could find Ms. Hebai's heart, he believed in the aesthetics of his head of the household, and he really didn't want to pick any more, he almost didn't know the "flower pot" Two words.

Bai Xiaoyuan confirmed the agreed location, and when he came back from class, he could meet with someone to solve his serious problems, humming a song and riding a mountain bike to class full of joy.

When he came back, the time was just right, Bai Xiaoyuan arrived 5 minutes early, he parked the car under the shade of a tree next to the fountain, sat relaxed on the car seat without moving, stepped on the pedals with one foot, Standing on the ground, with headphones in his ears, he sent a message to the seller, telling him that he had arrived and was riding a mountain bike.After that, he just lay on the handlebars and looked around in boredom.

After waiting for about three or four minutes and no one came, Bai Xiaoyuan was about to take out his mobile phone to check the time, when he heard a somewhat familiar voice with doubts behind him: "Bai Xiaoyuan?"

Bai Xiaoyuan straightened up and turned around, looked at the person behind him, first thought for a moment in doubt, and then suddenly realized something and shouted: "Salted fish!"

The person called "Salted Fish" frowned, his face darkened a bit, and he said with a bit of disgust, "My name is Yu Xian." He stretched out his hand and handed the paper bag he was holding to Bai Xiaoyuan, and continued, " Bai Xiaoyuan, I haven't seen you in a few years, why do you still have such a bad memory?"

Bai Xiaoyuan was not angry either, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and seeing that you are still so tall, I feel relieved."

Yu Xian's face turned darker.

Bai Xiaoyuan got off the car, stood up straight opposite Yu Xian, looked at the height difference between himself and the other party, and asked in a good mood, "Which high school do you go to?"

Yu Xian's complexion improved a bit, but he still answered firmly: "No. [-] Middle School."

Bai Xiaoyuan was overjoyed, "Oh, we'll be classmates from now on."

Yu Xian managed to recover a little bit, and his face returned to the original stiffness.

"Hey, maybe the two of us can be assigned to the same class." Bai Xiaoyuan took out his mobile phone, "Could you report your mobile phone number?"

Even though Yu Xian was upset, he still gave his mobile phone number directly. Bai Xiaoyuan called and heard Yu Xian's mobile phone ringing, and said, "This is my mobile phone number. Hey, which building do you live in?"

Yu Xian pointed to the not far away, Bai Xiaoyuan glanced around, kicked up the cart and pushed the cart, "My house is over there, let's talk while walking."

When Bai Xiaoyuan was not mean-spirited, Yu Xian could still chat with him peacefully. To a certain extent, the revolutionary friendship between the two was quite strong.He looked at Bai Xiaoyuan who was pushing the cart beside him, smiling brightly, and said, "Little Baiyuan, when did you move here?"

Bai Xiaoyuan didn't answer him first, but gritted his teeth and said, "I mean, as long as I call you Xianyu, you must call me Little White Ape?"

"You still know that you gave me the nickname first."

"Hey, doesn't this seem a little more friendly." Bai Xiaoyuan pushed the cart with one hand, and scratched his hair with the other hand, "I moved here when the summer vacation started, and this side is closer to No. [-] Middle School."

"I haven't seen you in three years, and my academic performance is good." Yu Xian praised him casually.

Indeed, when Yu Xian graduated from the sixth grade and moved away, Bai Xiaoyuan was still a monkey who was willing to do everything but not to study. The full score of the elementary school graduation exam was 290 points. Yuan... Two hundred sixty-seventy points?Although it is not the bottom of the class, it is indeed not a very good result.

Yu Xian and Bai Xiaoyuan have been classmates for six years, and Bai Xiaoyuan has always been so careless about his studies.

Bai Xiaoyuan said "Hey", "Without your oppression after entering junior high school, my grades grew freely like my height."

Yu Xian sneered, "I'm just in the first year of high school, and I'm still tall, so don't worry."

"Hey, ok, ok, I'll wait." Bai Xiaoyuan guessed that he would be five centimeters taller than Yu Xian now, and this advantage would not be easy to surpass, so he responded casually with a smile.

The two walked while talking, and after a while Yu Xian arrived home. Bai Xiaoyuan got into the car and said, "Hey, how are you going to school the day after tomorrow? Let's go together."

Yu Xian looked at Bai Xiaoyuan's mountain bike and replied, "I ride a bike too."

"Okay, then I'll contact you online later, and I'll send you my ID later." Bai Xiaoyuan said, kicked off, and left on the bike, "I'm going first!"

Yu Xian looked at the back of Bai Xiaoyuan riding away on a bicycle, couldn't help frowning, and returned home with a bit of disgust.

After Bai Xiaoyuan returned home, he took out the flower pot he bought from Yu Xian, and was about to get rid of his disgusting flower pot right away.

It's really amazing to buy a second-hand flower pot from an elementary school classmate I haven't contacted for three years.While carefully digging out the prickly prickly pear, Bai Xiaoyuan couldn't stop laughing out of fun.

But I didn't expect that I haven't seen Yu Xian for three years, and I am actually shorter than myself, and even a lot shorter, which really makes Bai Xiaoyuan feel comfortable and happy. You must know that Bai Xiaoyuan has always been shorter than Yu Xian in six years of elementary school. After a while, although neither of them is particularly tall, Bai Xiaoyuan is just unhappy.

After Bai Xiaoyuan changed the flowerpot, he was satisfied no matter how he looked at it, so he sent his mother a photo with 12 points of view in the angle of view, and Bai Xiaoyuan was relieved after getting a "good" evaluation.He was really afraid that one day his cactus would be destroyed by Ms. Bai who was in a bad mood.

Bai Xiaoyuan thought of the original owner of this flowerpot, and suddenly wanted to ask Bai Xinhong, so "Mom, do you remember Yu Xian from my primary school? He also lives in this community."

"Yes, I have been in touch with her mother all the time."

Bai Xiaoyuan said silently, "I didn't know why... We haven't been in touch for three years, but you two have a very close relationship."

"Don't you two have a bad relationship? Go to a high school with someone this time, don't be like a primary school anymore."

"I have a good relationship with him... Besides, what did I do in elementary school?" Bai Xiaoyuan refused to admit his black history.

Bai Xinhong sneered, and this sneer reminded Bai Xiaoyuan of Yu Xian's sneer when they were chatting before. That sneer was harmless, but his mother's sneer was quite nerve-wracking.

"Although I didn't say anything, you have always regarded people as a typical 'other people's children'."

Bai Xiaoyuan felt a little guilty, "Hey, isn't this... Isn't it because he is too good."

"It's better to say that you were not outstanding at that time? And it's fine if you don't do your job properly. I didn't tell you. Do you still look down on people who study hard?"

Bai Xiaoyuan has confidence this time, "I did have this problem, but I have changed it now, Mom, look at how hard I worked in junior high school."

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have said it directly. At that time, I wanted to beat you up every day when I saw your nostrils upturned." Bai Xinhong said in a relaxed tone.

"Fortunately, I changed it early..." Bai Xiaoyuan felt lingering fear.

"Since you and Yu Xian have a good relationship, I don't have anything to worry about. You have companions on the way to and from school."

"Well, the flower pot I bought this time belongs to him, and I made an appointment when we met before."

Bai Xinhong sighed quietly: "Why is his son so aesthetically pleasing..."

Bai Xiaoyuan said in a straight voice: "Mom, you have worked hard, goodbye, Mom!"

Putting the phone down, Bai Xiaoyuan shook his head and sighed pretendingly, looked at the screen of the phone which was still on, and sent his □□ number to Yu Xian.After a while, he received a new friend application, and Bai Xiaoyuan passed it quickly, looking at the other person's head portrait of a salted fish, he almost couldn't hold back his breath from laughing.

He said he disliked this nickname, but he still used it as his profile picture, hahaha.

Speaking of which, I haven't contacted for more than three years, and I don't know if the personality of my childhood friend has changed. After all, the last time they met was during the summer vacation of Xiaoshengchu. Pretty big.

Bai Xiaoyuan clicked on Yu Xian's space, and the other party sent very few things. Bai Xiaoyuan finished reading it in a short time. When reading it, he happily thought that Yu Xian was quite interesting. Not bad, at least you don't have to worry about it when you go to and from school. will feel embarrassed.But it is also because Bai Xiaoyuan has changed a lot that he thinks this way, because Yu Xian is still the same Yu Xian, that's right, the salted fish that made Bai Xiaoyuan in elementary school so upset that he clicked his tongue.

In fact, the fate between Bai Xiaoyuan and Yu Xian didn't start from elementary school, if you have to calculate it carefully, it probably started when Bai Xiaoyuan was able to run around in the community.The two lived in the same community since they were young, and Bai Xinhong, Bai Xiaoyuan's mother, also worked in the same unit as Yu Xian's parents before she resigned.
