Drifting

"Sidu! Cheng Sidu! Where did you go?" Mother Li Cheng shouted from the window of the old bungalow.

Cheng Sidu immediately bounced off Tan Qing's lips as if electrocuted, his head drooped shyly, turning around, not knowing what to say, and suddenly pulled Tan Qing's hand very hard, throwing it away. The next sentence "can't go back on my word" quickly ran away.

Tan Qing stood where she was, watching Cheng Sidu's fleeing back, and touched her moist lips.

"Brother! Brother! Look! The witch is out!" Siying pulled Sidu, desperately wanting him to watch the scary witch on TV, but Cheng Sidu didn't seem to be in high spirits today, he nestled on the green velvet sofa, hugging his knees , with his head leaning on the back of the sofa, the expression on his face was very lazy, but it was different from the usual lazy one, as if he was dreaming, with two faint blushes floating on his cheeks, smiling but not daring to laugh, yet unable to hold back .

Finally, he buried his face in the back of the sofa and smiled foolishly.

I can't believe that Tan Qing's temper is so hard, but his lips are so soft.

Mother Cheng dried her hair, walked in and patted him, "Sleep."

A family of four sleeps in one room with two big beds, one for Siying and Sidu, and one for the husband and wife.

Sidu watched his mother slap skin care products on her face, slapped her face hard, and asked, "Where's Dad?"

"We're playing cards downstairs, let's sleep first."

When I woke up early in the morning, several people were covering the door with old newspapers downstairs.Sidu took Siying over to help, picked up the latest newspaper, and glanced at it subconsciously.

"It's a massacre," said a worker. "The serial killer broke in in the middle of the night, killed the family, and committed suicide before the police arrived. That's the only way the case can end, and the worst thing is that boy , I heard that he went to play in the Internet cafe that night, and didn’t lock the door, so that’s probably how the murderer got in. When he came back in the early morning, his parents had already been taken to the funeral home by the police car.”

Sidu shuddered.

Siying whispered, "Brother, the murderer will go to jail, right?"

"But the murderer committed suicide, how can he go to jail?"

Sidu asked again: "Where's Tan Qing?"

The worker wiped off his sweat: "I left the construction site early in the morning." He smiled narrowly, "Boss, you and Tan Qing have a good relationship."

Sidu responded with an unnatural expression, and after a while, the window went back.

After taking a nap, Siying ran to the nearby woods and stepped on a lot of dog's tail flowers.Sidu rubbed his sister's face with his dog's tail in a fuss, and when he looked up, a man slowly approached in the woods, wearing a black T-shirt and army green trousers with some mud spots on his trouser legs.

Tan Qingzheng came back to change to a suitable shovel, and saw the brothers and sisters of the Cheng family playing in the woods from a distance.

Siying held a large handful of dogtail flowers and handed them to Tan Qing, and said seriously and proudly: "You can give the flowers to the most beautiful person here."

Facing the lightning waves emitted by Siying's big eyes, Tan Qing thought for a while, and stuffed the dog's tail flower to Cheng Sidu who was caught off guard.Cheng Sidu's face immediately turned red, with a smile on his lips, and his eyes were as sweet as honey.

"Then I'll give it to your brother."

Siying shouted angrily: "Brother is a boy!"

"Can't you?" Tan Qing's tone was still light.

"No, it should be given to girls!" Siying pinched her beautiful braids, "Girls with braids."

Tan Qing was still calm and nonchalant, looking at the gray-green dog's tail flower calmly, "I have already given it to your brother, I can't go back on my word."

Sidu couldn't bear it, and called out "Tan Qing" softly.

Siying puffed up and walked in front, Sidu did not catch up for the first time, and slowly fell behind, slowly walking side by side with Tan Qing, and slowly holding Tan Qing's hand.

Sidu whispered, "Your hands are a little callused."

"Hmm." Tan Qing tightly clenched the childlike hand in his palm, "Does it hurt?"

Sidu shook his head: "It doesn't hurt." He paused, "I thought you regretted it yesterday."

Tan Qing glanced at him sideways, as if laughing at him, "Didn't I take the initiative to kiss him back?"

Sidu just smiled.

Tan gently rubbed his delicate and soft fingertips, and then let go, "I have to go back to work. Chasing my sister back, the little girl seems really angry."

"She's not angry, I'll fry her a ham and egg, and she won't be angry after eating it." Sidu said briskly.

"it is good."

Sidu often ran out at night.

He and Tan Qing, who had taken a shower, walked over and over on the field path far away from the construction site. The blue wheat seedlings grew wildly in midsummer, and they were already half the height of a person. In the clouds, happiness is so unreal.

"Tan Qing." Sidu pulled his hand, "Have you ever been in love before?"

"No talk to boys."

"What about the girl?"

"Have."

Sidu's tightly clenched hand felt a little cold, and Tan Qing tightened it when he wanted to let go, "To be honest, don't be angry."

Sidu seemed to have drunk three bottles of old Shanxi vinegar, his throat was sour, "Did you hold hands too? Did you kiss too?"

Tan Qing smiled: "I'll just give her a lecture."

Sidu stood still, "Hurry up, kiss me now."

Tan Qing looked at Cheng Sidu's face by the moonlight, and asked so confidently, but her lips were trembling with shame, her eyelashes were trembling, hurry up!

Tan Qing reached out and touched Sidu's eyelashes.Sidu suddenly became extremely calm, and even gave birth to a kind of tenderness that was almost like taking refuge.

Tan Qing stretched out her hand, and attuned Cheng Sidu, a rock whose love hadn't been opened yet.

Cheng Sidu still wanted to call Tan Qing's name, but Tan Qing blocked his lips very gently and slowly.

They were glued together, half pressed together, kissing as they walked slowly down the moonlit silver path.

When the one-month construction period came, Tan Qing received the money, more than 5000 yuan, and put it all into the card, which was sewn into the inner pocket of the shirt.

Tan Qing has no reason to stay here.

Cheng Sidu lost his temper that day, he didn't eat, he didn't go downstairs, everyone thought he was sick.His illness seemed to be a regular occurrence.

Tan Qing had no choice but to go upstairs and knock on the door, but did not push in, "Sidu, I have to go."

Cheng Sidu cried and said, "Go away. You are a liar, did you just catch me cheating?"

Tan lightly paused, "Sidu, wait for me."

Tan Qing couldn't make a promise.

Cheng Sidu reported to the university at the end of the summer, and military training followed.

Cheng Sidu was wearing a camouflage uniform. After his military posture was correct in the morning, he rushed into the cafeteria and started eating hazelnuts.His skin was fair. After two days in the sun, all the boys in the class were tanned, but he didn't seem to be tanned. The girls from the humanities college next door secretly nicknamed him Fu Fen Chenglang.

Cheng Lang finished his porridge and headed to the dormitory. As soon as he walked out of the cafeteria, he saw a black battery car parked under the scorching sun, full of couriers.A tall and handsome young man wearing a black peaked cap stood beside the battery car, reaching out to pass the courier to the girl next to him, and said in a low voice, "Please sign."

Cheng Sidu stood where he was.

After a while, the young man raised his face, and under the brim of his hat, he saw the snow-white Cheng Sidu in camouflage, his eyebrows were wet, like a survivor of drowning.

Tan lightly smiled: "Not tanned."

Cheng Sidu didn't hold back, he slammed into Tan Qing's arms, knocked Tan Qing into a stagger, almost fell down.

Cheng Sidu's military cap fell off, revealing his soft black hair, the corners of his eyes were pitifully red, and he said harshly without any deterrent force: "I'll kill you!"

Tan Qing raised her eyebrows and laughed.

This is the summer of 15.

They were only separated by 23 days.

Tan Qing is working as a courier.
