Stand by me

(21)

It was a very strange month, the surrounding atmosphere was indescribable, and the time seemed short and long.The day before the college entrance examination was a sunny day. The school gave the senior high school students a holiday. My father suggested that the whole family walk to Chinatown to eat Chinese food.Everyone was preparing for the trip in high spirits. Even Yuxiang Nakajima had a big smile on his face.

Dad was wearing a silver-gray suit and Italian custom-made leather shoes, walking in the sun in a chic way, and Yamada’s mother was holding his arm, her long and dense curly hair was like little rosebuds, falling on the shawl printed with animal patterns In the morning, Yuxiang Nakajima and Ryosuke Yamada followed behind them listening to light music.Many girls stared at them when they approached, put their heads together and whispered, and some deliberately laughed just enough to be heard by others.Nakajima Yuxiang frowned, he knew what they wanted to say, this family is all beauties, especially the two children.Yuxiang Nakajima disdains this kind of inexplicable admiration, but Ryosuke Yamada has always been happy to be lovable, and his ears turned red with shyness and trouble.Boys with female power are popular now, and those who have seen Yamada are easily unable to walk.

Chinese dishes are varied and delicious. They all like a soup called "Family Portrait" made with cucumbers, carrots, tofu skin, pork belly and diced scallops. It looks good visually and has a happy meaning, delicious It makes people want to swallow their tongues too.

Nakajima Yuxiang was concentrating on drinking soup, and his father raised his wine glass, "Tomorrow is an important day, let me say a few words." He looked at Yuxiang and Ryosuke, "Adults have adult worries, children There are children’s troubles. You have worked hard in the past 12 years. I wish you can live up to the suffering you have suffered and experience the world of adults. This society always thinks that it needs all-round talents, but there are enough talents. Yaji and I are very happy with you Both."

Dad likes to toast the most, and everyone clinks glasses with him loudly. He is touched by the scene and said a little moved: "Now must be the most beautiful moment!"

Unexpectedly, the weak and quiet mother Yamada tilted her head and smiled and "refuted" him: "I believe there will be more wonderful and brilliant moments. Those moments are something we can't foresee now, and they belong only to the two of them."

During the meal, Nakajima Yuxiang received a text message from his grandpa in the countryside. Grandpa typed a lot of emojis to cheer him up, and also said that he would give him the antique Contax II camera as a graduation gift.Yamada Ryosuke immersed himself in eating the second bowl of rice, chewing sweetly with his mouth, a round lump bulged out of his cheek like a hamster.

The father who went to the bar to pay the bill walked back slowly. Yuxiang Nakajima noticed that there were many wrinkles of different shades on his brows and lips. It was when he was playing with his grandfather's beard when he was young, and he saw his grandfather's face. imprint. "Ryosuke, let's recite the ancient text a few more times after we go back!" Nakajima Yuxiang said aloud impulsively.

Ryosuke Yamada was stunned. Just now Yuxiang Nakajima was still convulsed with joy about getting the same camera from Robert Capa.

Dad didn't say a word, and sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for him.Yuxiang Nakajima did not expect this gentle blow from his father, and was a little flattered.

Before going to bed at night, Nakajima Yuxiang and Yamada Ryosuke went back to the room to prepare tomorrow's test equipment. He stopped Yamada at the door, "Hey, work hard tomorrow, I wish you all the best." He said, the voice sounded, at least from Nakajima Yu To Xiang's own ears, it sounded natural. "Thank you, and you have to work hard." Yamada Ryosuke smiled so sweetly, it was too much for Yuxiang Nakajima's mental preparation. It seems that people who are still in the cold war should not have such a gentle smile.
