four o'clock

The winter in the north seems to be the same no matter how many years have passed. No matter how much it has changed, once the snow covers it, there will be no difference.

Wen Yuji hadn't come back for seven years, and was a little timid when he saw the familiar street scene.

He asked Li Song: "When did the school build a new building?"

Li Song took a look while driving: "It's been four or five years, and the old building really can't last."

Li Song: "Our head teacher at the time taught mathematics, and now Li Yang is teaching mathematics as well."

Wen Yuji rolled his eyes. It was quite interesting that the student who didn't like studying the most became a teacher.

The alley is still the same.

The door plaque of Uncle Ge’s small supermarket has been replaced with a new one, but the big poplar tree with a crooked neck is still the same.

He walked to the gate of his small courtyard, and saw that there were Spring Festival couplets pasted on them, and the zodiac sign was also of this year. He was a little surprised, and was about to take a closer look, when suddenly a strange female voice came from behind him.

"Brother Xiaoyu..."

Wen Yuji turned his head and saw a tall and beautiful girl who was dressed in fashion.

He couldn't remember who it was, so he didn't speak.

The girl got out of the car and almost slipped in a hasty movement, her eyes were red, she ran over, reached out her hand rashly to pinch his arm, and said, "It's true... Brother Xiaoyu... woo woo woo You're back."

Wen Yuji was startled, looked at the little girl in front of her, and said in a hoarse voice, "You are..."

Another person got out of the car behind him, a very young boy who looked familiar, he carried a gift in his hand, and looked at Wen Yuji in surprise.

Wen Yuji glanced at him, and heard the little girl cry "Wow". She looked very cold and stable in her original appearance, but now she was crying like a child wiping her tears. Said: "Brother Xiaoyu, I'm Wang Xiaoniu, you don't remember me, woo woo woo."

Involuntarily, she dragged Wen Yu into her yard and shouted loudly, "Grandma, grandma, Brother Xiaoyu is back."

The door opened, and an old man with completely white hair came out. Grandma Wang was much older than seven years ago, and Wen Yuji still recognized her at a glance.

Grandma Wang moved her lips, and tears fell instantly. She grabbed Wen Yuji, slapped him on the arm, and said, "You damn child, you still know how to come back."

Wen Yuji wiped her eyes, and said in a crying voice, "I was wrong."

Grandma Wang didn't even bother to entertain her granddaughter and her classmates, so she watched and watched Wen Yuzhi, wiping away tears.

She said: "Xiao Li has been looking for you all these years when you haven't come back, have you contacted him?"

Wen Yu sent nodded and said, "He's outside, park the car."

Grandma Wang couldn't help sighing again, and said: "During the years you were away, he came back every New Year's Eve, but he didn't have any vitality. He lived his life like you did in those years."

Wen Yuji bit her lip and said nothing.

Li Song has always kept his promise. They agreed before that they would come back every year for the New Year.

Wang Xiaoniu wanted to cry and laugh at the same time: "On New Year's Eve, he stayed overnight as soon as he stayed and asked him to come over to celebrate the New Year together. He said he was afraid that you would not be able to find him when you came back. I thought he was going crazy."

She said: "You don't even know that during the two months you just finished the exam, he didn't eat or drink, and waited in the yard every day. I was afraid that one day he would not be able to survive."

Wen Yuji felt that he was so uncomfortable that he could hardly breathe, he didn't even dare to think about Li Song's appearance.

Grandma Wang wiped her tears with a smile and said, "You are a good boy, you can't be like this in the future, your Grandma Wang won't live for a few years, don't let me worry about it."

When Li Song entered the room, he saw that the room was full of crying, and there was only one boy sitting there with a straight back and a serious face.

Li Song walked to the edge of the kang, hugged Wen Yuji, and said with a smile, "Did Wang Xiaoniu bully you?"

Wang Xiaoniu was caught off guard, and said angrily, "...do you have a conscience? I answered your call this morning and burned the kang of your house all morning."

Wen Yuji felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, he hugged Li Song tightly, and did not speak nor let go.

Grandma Wang: "Go back and have a look. Before Xiaoli comes back every year, your fat aunt and I will clean up the yard in advance. What it was before is what it is now."

Wen Yuji bit her lip and nodded.

He carried Ari out of the car, who had finally gotten a little fatter, took a deep breath, opened the door and entered the yard.

In this small courtyard, time seems to be frozen.

Snow fell on the apricot tree, the snow in the small courtyard was cleaned up, dead branches were wrapped around the grape arbor, and the well was buried by snow again.

The doors and windows of the house are pasted with couplets and window grilles. When you open the door and enter, you will be greeted by warmth, and everything is still the same.

The photos of him and Li Song were hung on the wall, the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy smiled carefreely, there were a few little yellow ducks on the sofa, Ari jumped down and ran around in a familiar environment.

Li Song closed the door and said with a smile: "Grandma Wang and the others come to clean it once a year during this time, and this year I asked them to remove the dustproof cloth."

Time seems to be sealed here, he just left the house for a short while, pushed the door open and came back, the room was still warm, the little yellow duck was thrown upside down, the pink piggy bank was placed next to the TV, Li Song was waiting at home he.

Wen Yuji turned his head and hugged Li Song, and said softly, "How did you feel when you were waiting for me?"

Li Song was taken aback, he nodded his nose, chuckled, and asked, "What did Wang Xiaoniu say?"

Wen Yuji looked at him stubbornly.

He pushed the warm words into the bedroom, sat on the warm kang, and said, "I always feel that you will be back in the next second, so I always look forward to it."

But he didn't come back in the next second, so he was always disappointed.

I build myself up again and again, and then I am disappointed again and again.

He didn't say it, but Wen Yuji wanted it.

Wen Yuji hugged Li Song's neck, rubbed his face like a cat with his own, and said, "Li Song, I really love you."

Li Song was speechless. He was always uneasy. He was always afraid that Wen Yuji would disappear again. Every day he woke up, he was afraid that this was his own dream. Yuji is so sensitive, he can see it.

Li Song buried his face into his neck, and said paranoidly: "I didn't lie to you, if you leave again, Ari and I will commit suicide here, and then you can visit us on Ching Ming Festival."

Wen Yushou cried, and then cried aloud.

In the afternoon, a lot of people came to the house. The fat aunt wiped her tears as soon as she entered the room. Uncle Ge had aged a lot. Seeing that he had been worrying a lot these years, Wen Yu asked, "Where's Grandpa Ma?"

Grandma Ma said, "I went over there to teach."

She wiped away her tears and said, "It's a good thing that I left three years ago."

Li Song patted Wen Yuji's shoulder reassuringly.

Time is a very ruthless thing, it will take away a lot.

Xiaopang is already a junior high school student, and he is still fat when he grows up. He sat next to Wen Yuji, watched the adults wipe his tears there, and whispered: "Brother Xiaoyu, you are back, and this year's Chinese New Year is finally free. Eat my grandma's cooking."

Then he was beaten by the fat aunt.
