journey

It was almost nine o'clock when we got home, and Chu Zheng came back early after school and waited.Her mother made a table of dishes, and it was a little cold.The sound of footsteps on the stairs, Chu Zheng hurried to the door to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his father holding Luo Nianli, who had red and swollen eyes. Chu Zheng reached out to take Luo Nianli's schoolbag, and grabbed his arm with one hand. led into the house.As soon as she entered the door, Chen Shufen greeted her. She knelt down and hugged Luo Nianli,

"Oh baby, miss you auntie, you're tired."

Chu Jianguo and Luo Nianli went to take a bath first, Chen Shufen went to warm up the dishes, and Chu Zheng followed her mother.

After dinner, Luo Nianli tried his best to behave himself better, but he couldn't resist the sadness in his heart, and couldn't laugh no matter what.Chen Shufen asked the two children to finish their meal and go back to sleep, Chu Zheng hurriedly took two mouthfuls of food, and then went back to the room with Luo Nianli.

Luo Nianli was lying on the bed, thinking about how his grandfather was doing and whether he had eaten.Chu Zheng lay on the upper bunk, and when he heard no movement below, he stretched his neck and looked down. The light from the window came in and shone on Luo Nianli's white face. Zheng didn't make a sound, just watched quietly for a while.Luo Nianli is really good-looking, with double eyelids, big eyes and long eyelashes, it is clear that the children who came out of the mountains have very fair skin.Chu Zheng retreated silently, lay down for a while, and then fell asleep.

In the morning, Luo Nianli sat on Chu Zheng's back seat, greeted Zhuang Yi at the door, and just rode forward not long ago.

"Luo Nianli!"

When the three of them heard someone calling Luo Luo's name, they stopped the car and looked back.Luo Nianli saw that Gao Wuyang was running towards here, so he was about to get off his bicycle.

"Hey. Why are you going?"

Chu Zheng stopped him from getting out of the car,

"It's my classmate, brother, you go first, I will go with my classmate."

After finishing speaking, Luo Nianli turned around and walked towards Gao Wuyang,

"Hey!"

When Chu Zheng shouted again, Luo Nianli ignored him and ran towards Gao Wuyang.Chu Zheng was a little stunned, a kind of raised cabbage was... inexplicably angry, he pedaled the car and rushed out, Zhuang Yi followed behind to look at him, then looked at Luo Nianli, paused and followed go out.

"What's wrong with you, you're jealous."

Zhuang Yi looked ahead, the car was side by side with Chu Zheng, and asked, Chu Zheng glanced at him,

"Are you kidding me? Who am I jealous of?"

Chu Zheng acted as if he didn't care, he could deceive anyone, but he couldn't deceive Zhuang Yi, but Zhuang Yi didn't want to discuss this topic with him anymore, so the two rode to school relatively silently.

"Where have you been these few days? The teacher said that you have something to do at home, and you haven't come for so many days."

Gao Wuyang asked as he walked,

"My grandpa is sick, I went back to see him."

As Luo Nianli spoke, he thought of his grandfather again, and couldn't help but look worried.

"Then is he better? I called you, but you didn't answer it. "

Speaking of this, Luo Nianli only remembered the dozen or so phone calls.

"Oh, I just saw it later. I was taking care of my grandpa before, so I didn't notice the phone."

"Okay, the teacher handed out the papers and so on, and I will put them in the table hole for you."

"Thank you, that. Where have you been talking about recently? When you get to the classroom, tell me about it."

Luo Nianli was thinking about the lessons that were left behind, Gao Wuyang nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Promised to come back to study, Luo Nianli really puts study first every day, the second grade courses were quickly mastered for him, and he had privately collected the fourth grade textbooks a long time ago. I read it again, and of course the textbooks were all from Chu Zheng's back then. When Chen Shufen was looking for Chu Zheng's books for Luo Nianli, she found a lot of practice questions that she had never touched before. Suddenly, Chu Zheng hugged Luo Nianli and said that he was hurt so badly by him, Luo Nianli replied, "It's okay, brother, I will finish everything for you." Chu Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.But Luo Nianli really did what he said, whether it was during class breaks or when he went home at night, he was studying hard. Chen Shufen felt that if Luo Luo kept up this drive, his family would definitely have a student from Peking University and Tsinghua University in the future. .

"What grade is your textbook in?"

Gao Wuyang always felt that Luo Nianli was very hardworking. He was at the bottom of the grades at the beginning, but it didn't take long for him to be at the top, and now he even reads books that he has never seen before.

"This one is for the fifth grade, but I may not finish reading it this semester."

Luo Nian clutched his textbook and sighed in disappointment.

"Fifth grade?! What are you doing with the textbooks of the senior grade?"

Gao Wuyang was very surprised. He knew that Luo Nianli had good grades, but he didn't expect that he could even understand the textbooks of senior grades in private.

"I want to skip a grade. My aunt said that as long as I can read and learn, and pass the exam, she can help me skip a grade, so that I can catch up with everyone."

Luo Nianli said seriously, Gao Wuyang was just surprised at first, but after hearing what he said, he couldn't help frowning,

"The meaning of skipping grades is that you will not be in the same class as us, but go to a higher grade than us?"

Luo Nianli nodded.

"What do you mean? Don't you like our class? Why do you want to skip a grade? Isn't it good for everyone to be together?"

Gao Wuyang was a little angry, and his voice suddenly became louder.The class was about to start, and there were many young students sitting in the class. Gao Wuyang's voice undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention.Luo Nianli was stunned, he didn't expect Gao Wuyang to react so much, he looked around, "shh" Gao Wuyang, and dragged him to sit down.Gao Wuyang flicked his sleeves and sat down, ignoring him again.Luo Nianli was a little helpless, he didn't know how his skipping a grade made him so angry.

"Wu Yang, I'm older than you guys. My aunt said I should be in the fourth grade. Don't be angry. I don't like everyone."

For a while, Gao Wuyang ignored him and didn't even look at him.Luo Nianli didn't bother himself, so he opened the textbook again and read silently.

The atmosphere on the way back from school was quite bad, Gao Wuyang walked in front, and he didn't bother him as usual, and Luo Nianli followed behind with his schoolbag on his back.At the intersection where they were about to part, Gao Wuyang turned his head abruptly, glanced at Luo Nianli, and ran away with his schoolbag on his back without saying anything.Luo Nianli was a little dazed when he saw his back running away. He stood there for a while before continuing to walk into the compound.

When Chu Zheng came home at night, Luo Nianli was lying on the table doing exercises. Chu Zheng smiled, threw his schoolbag on the stool, and took out the military magazine he bought secretly when he came back.Both of them were quietly reading the book in their hands, when Luo Nianli's cell phone rang suddenly, he picked it up and saw Gao Wuyang's name, and connected.

"Well, now? Good."

Luo Nianli just hung up the phone,

"Who?"

Chu Zheng asked aloud.

"My classmate said he had something to tell me, so I'll go out for a while."

Luo Nianli and Chu Zheng explained, Chu Zheng raised his eyebrows,

"What's the matter, you can't go to school and say it, no! It's getting dark."

Luo Nianli was a little embarrassed, he whispered:

"It's at the door, brother."

Chu Zheng's face turned sideways, and he thought for a while,

"Is that the little kid you walked with that morning."

Luo Nianli nodded,

"Hmph, that kid looks like a brat who doesn't like to study, stay away from him."

After hearing this, Luo Nianli pursed his lips helplessly. Gao Wuyang really didn't like studying, but he took good care of himself, and he was one of the few friends in the class.Chu Zheng saw him standing and looking at himself, raised his eyebrows again,

"Look at what?"

"Brother, I'll go and have a look, and I'll be right back."

After finishing speaking, Luo Nianli immediately turned around and opened the door to go out. Chu Zheng was so angry that his eyebrows were about to stand up. He dumped his brother twice because of that brat. He got up and wanted to follow, but suddenly remembered that Luo Nianli ran out without his coat on, so he took his clothes, opened the door and followed.

It was already winter outside, and it was very cold. As soon as Luo Nianli ran out, he realized that he was not wearing a coat, and he was shivering from the cold, so he started running, thinking that he would be warm after running.When he ran to the gate, Gao Wuyang was standing under the street lamp, his nose and face were red with cold, Luo Nianli thought he answered the phone, although it took him a while to run down, but it wasn't long, how could he be so frozen.Little did he know that the kid, Gao Wuyang, had been standing here for a long time before making the call, thinking about what to say to Luo Nianli.

"Wu Yang, what's wrong?"

Gao Wuyang was taken aback when he saw Luo Nianli,

"Why do you wear so little?"

"Oh, I was in a hurry to go out, so I forgot."

Gao Wuyang thought I told you to come out, and you were in such a hurry.Thinking of it this way relieved the little discomfort in my heart.

"Luo Nianli, if you skip a grade, we won't be classmates anymore."

When Luo Nianli heard it, he still cared about skipping grades.Seeing him frozen like this, and saying such aggrieved words, I felt somewhat unbearable.

"But we are still in the same school, you can come and play with me, we will have lunch together at the small dining table at noon, and we will walk together after school."

"That's different! Then I can no longer be in the same class as you, go to class together, participate in sports meetings together, and do many things together! You skipped a grade, and we are no longer classmates!"

The more Gao Wuyang spoke, the more excited he became, and his face became even redder.

"What are you shouting!"

While Gao Wuyang was talking excitedly, Chu Zheng's voice suddenly came from behind. Luo Nianli was startled, and before turning his head back, the coat was draped over his body.

"Why are you running, you don't wear clothes, what do you do if you are sick?"

Chu Zheng looked at Luo Nianli from top to bottom with an unhappy expression on his face.Then he turned his head to look at Gao Wuyang:

"Child, why are you looking for him if you don't do your homework at home in such a cold day? What are you not a classmate? What do you want to do?"

It can be said that Chu Zheng questioned Gao Wuyang arbitrarily. Gao Wuyang felt uncomfortable at first, but seeing Chu Zheng protecting Luo Nianli like this, he felt like a thorn in his heart.

"It's none of your business!"

Gao Wuyang stiffened his neck and roared with his eyes wide open.Chu Zheng didn't like this kind of thing the most. With this roar, he immediately became angry, reached out and grabbed Gao Wuyang's collar, and then raised his height advantage,

"Did you fucking deserve a beating?"

When Luo Nianli saw the situation, he was almost dumbfounded, how could these two people become like this.He quickly grabbed Chu Zheng's hand,

"Brother, don't be angry, he is my friend, don't hit him."

Then he rushed to Gao Wuyang and said,

"Wu Yang, you go home first, it's too cold, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Chu Zheng glanced at Luo Nianli and let go.

"go home!"

After speaking, he turned his head and left.Luo Nianli looked at him, then turned to Gao Wuyang and said:

"My brother is in a bad mood, don't worry about it, I'll talk to you tomorrow."

After speaking, he ran after Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng entered the room, sat down on a chair, picked up the magazine and threw it on the table, Luo Nianli followed, and closed the door casually.He was also a little puzzled why Chu Zheng was so angry.

"elder brother..."

Chu Zheng raised his eyebrows and turned to look at him, but didn't speak.

"Brother, don't be angry."

Chu Zheng turned around and sighed,

"What's the matter with you two? What classmate?"

Luo Nianli told Chu Zheng about the two of them today,

"Hmph! He's not tall and he has a lot of things to do. Don't worry about him. Why would a friend like this want him?"

Luo Nianli didn't dare to disobey him again, so he nodded accordingly.

Early the next morning, Chu Zheng took Luo Nianli to meet Zhuang Yi at the gate. Just as he was about to get out of the car, he saw Gao Wuyang standing across the road waiting for Luo Nianli. Pay attention to him, just about to pedal the car,

"elder brother..."

Luo Nianli's waxy chirping voice came from behind,

"What are you doing!"

Chu Zheng was impatient, Zhuang Yi didn't know what happened, he looked at Chu Zheng in surprise,

"My classmates are waiting for me"

Luo Nianli whispered,

"Didn't you understand what I told you?"

Chu Zheng got out of the car, turned to look at Luo Nianli, Luo Nianli slowly climbed off the bicycle, lowered his head

"elder brother..."

Chu Zheng couldn't stand the little look of grievance.Gao Wuyang also came over, and Chu Zheng gave him an arrogant look. Although Zhuang Yi didn't know what was going on, no matter how you looked at the scene, it felt like he was beating a mandarin duck.

"What are you doing, go away, Luo Luo also has his own friends, so don't be annoying."

Hearing that Zhuang Yi said that he was annoying, Chu Zheng stared at him with wide eyes, but Zhuang Yi ignored him, got on the car and left on his own.

"Hey!"

Chu Zheng shouted, Zhuang Yi stopped the car and turned to look at him, Chu Zheng turned to look at Gao Wuyang,

"Little boy, if you want to be a classmate with Luo Luo, you should try your best to skip the grade. You are a man, so don't gossip here, and let me see you annoy our Luo Luo like this, I will really punish you."

After finishing speaking, I felt like I was a big brother, I got on the car and went after Zhuang Yi.

Luo Nianli watched the two leave, then looked at Gao Wuyang,

"My brother is like that, don't worry about it. Let's go."

Gao Wuyang looked righteously angry,

"Luo Nianli! Your brother is right! I want to skip a grade with you!"

After finishing speaking, he felt that he had great ambition, and strode forward with big strides. Luo Nianli was stunned for two seconds, and followed with a smile.
