Reborn as a man

Chapter 17 (Catching Bugs)

Chapter No.17

Early in the morning, He Xu was awakened by the sound of packing up.He Xu opened his eyes and saw that Father He was packing the few luggage at home.The packed luggage was piled up by the door, looking like four or five bags.The buns on the small wooden table were still steaming, probably not long after they were bought.

He randomly found a pair of shorts and put them on. He Xu went out of the room to wash up with his bare upper body and slippers on.The place where He Xu lives is like a large courtyard. Several households live in the same courtyard. The water pipe is in the middle of the courtyard and is shared.The living area of ​​each household is very small, and there is only a stove, a bed, and a table. If you add other things, it will feel crowded.

After receiving the water from the faucet, He Xu stood aside and brushed his teeth, then spit the water on the muddy floor beside him.Then, He Xu took another cup of water, wiped it on his face a few times, and immediately felt refreshed.Returning to the room with the toothbrush in hand, He Xu finished his breakfast two or three times, and then helped He Lin pack his things.In fact, everything was almost packed, He Xu just packed the books he needed and put them in his schoolbag.

The waiting time is the hardest.He Xu sat on the bed, staring in a daze at the only plastic alarm clock left on the table.It's only 06:30.He Xu thought silently.Xiaoyun usually arrives at school at a quarter past seven.There are 45 minutes left.What should I say when I see Xiaoyun?Will Xiaoyun be sad if I leave?I don't know when I can see Xiaoyun.

……

He Lin planned to go to school with He Xu at seven o'clock, take the three-wheeled vegetable seller to load his own luggage on the way, and take the bus directly to the long-distance bus station after finishing his work.At the same time, He Lin asked a fellow villager to help him go to school with him, so that after the He family and his son got on the bus, the fellow villager could ride the tricycle back.He Lin asked the fellow to help sell the tricycle and remit the money to him, and the fellow agreed.Hearing this news, He Xu, who originally wanted to arrive at school earlier, tried his best to persuade He Lin, hoping that he could go to school first, but He's father refused.He Xu could only frown and wait.

……

When He Xu arrived at the school, it was almost [-]:[-].He Xu greeted Father He and ran to the playground.He Lin didn't pay too much attention, but told He Xu to wait for him at the tricycle for a while, and then walked to the principal's office.

He Xu ran to the playground, and saw Xiao Yun's figure on the parallel bars from a distance. This made He Xu feel a sense of happiness, that the people he valued could wait for him!Running to the parallel bars, He Xu gasped for breath and smirked at Xiao Yun.

"You still know to come?" Xiao Yun said a little angrily, he kept staring at the book in his hand, without even glancing at He Xu.

"Xiaoyun, me," He Xu just wanted to explain, but suddenly remembered that he was about to leave Xiaoyun, his heart felt sore, and he couldn't continue the next sentence.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Seeing He Xu's aggrieved and frustrated face, Xiao Yun hurriedly let go of his anger and asked.

"Xiaoyun..." Seeing Xiaoyun caring about him, He Xu suddenly felt aggrieved, and his eyes turned red.

"Don't cry, I'll help you with anything." Xiao Yun was also a little anxious, and hurriedly comforted him.

"I, I'm going to drop out of school. I'm going back to my hometown." He Xu grabbed Xiao Yun's hand, and his usually majestic tiger eyes were now full of water vapor. "I may not see you in the future, what should I do?"

"It's okay, don't worry." Xiao Yun's heart sank, he really didn't expect such a thing to happen.Although he knew that he would be separated from He Xu sooner or later, it really made him feel sore when it happened so suddenly.Xiao Yun tried his best to maintain his normal expression, not wanting He Xu to notice anything.Xiao Yun took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"Axu, do you know the mailing address of your hometown? Tell me, I can write to you in the future." Xiao Yun now especially misses the time when mobile phones were flooded in the 21st century.

"I, I haven't gone back for three years, and I've forgotten all about it." He Xu said with his head drooping, disappointed.

"It doesn't matter, I will tell you my family's contact information, and then you can write me a letter or call me." Xiao Yun quickly comforted.

"En." Apart from nodding, He Xu didn't know what to do now.

Hearing He Xu's answer, Xiao Yun heaved a sigh of relief.Xiao Yun looked at his watch, it was almost seven fifty.Can't wait any longer.Xiao Yun frowned slightly, and said to He Xu: "A Xu, come to the classroom with me, and I will write down the contact information for you, otherwise there will be no time."

"En." He Xu nodded quickly, and quickly followed Xiao Yun.Looking at Xiao Yun's back in front of him, He Xu suddenly felt his heart settle down.He wanted to just follow the person in front of him all the time, not to separate.

Xiao Yun didn't have as many thoughts as He Xu, so he was worried about not having enough time.Xiao Yun trotted into the classroom, took out his homework book, tore off a large sheet of paper from the middle, took out a pen and wrote down his home address and phone number neatly, then ran out of the classroom non-stop, making everyone in the class The little Doudings were taken aback.

Why is the squad leader in such a hurry?Did you forget to bring your homework?The little bean dings pondered in private.

"Here, put it away. Write me a letter when you get home. It will be very troublesome to call at home." Xiao Yun handed the paper in his hand to He Xu, pretending not to care, but his slightly frowned eyebrows revealed his heart.

He Xu is a sensitive person, so he naturally felt Xiao Yun's reluctance.He took the paper, folded it carefully and put it in the pocket of his shorts.He Xu always felt that the pocket was a bit shallow, so he stuffed the note into the pocket again.

Xiao Yun watched He Xu busy there, without making a sound, just looked at him quietly.He Xu didn't speak any more, and the two of them just remained silent.

"Bell~" The preparatory bell rang, interrupting the silent but peaceful atmosphere between the two.

"Xiao Yun, go back quickly, class is about to begin." He Xu kept a stern face, trying not to be so sad, but his voice became more and more choked up.

Xiao Yun pursed his lips and looked at He Xu quietly, with a trace of complexity and sadness in his eyes.

"I, I'll go first." After saying that, He Xu turned around, fearing that he would cry if he stayed with Xiao Yun for a while.

"A Xu." Xiao Yun quickly caught up with He Xu, and hugged him gently while he was stunned.

"Be sure to come back, I'll be waiting for you." He Xu listened to the voice beside his ear, which was faint but with a hint of trembling.

"Well, I will definitely come back to see you. Don't forget me." He Xu hugged his friend tightly and said with a choked voice.

"Okay, okay," after hugging for a while, Xiao Yun patted He Xu's back, motioning him to let go of himself. "You're a man, so be strong."

"En." He Xu reluctantly smiled at Xiao Yun.

"Let's go, I believe we will meet again." Xiao Yun patted He Xu on the shoulder, then turned and returned to the classroom.But He Xu stared blankly at Xiao Yun entering the classroom, feeling a little lost suddenly.

Xiaoyun didn't even look back at me just now.He Xu thought aggrievedly.However, Xiaoyun will always be my friend, and we will definitely meet again.Touching the note in his trouser pocket, He Xu finally showed a real smile on his face.

……

"Principal, I'm really sorry for your trouble." He Lin took the file from Baili Yuanhao and thanked him quickly.

"It's okay, take good care of your father when you go back. You're already so old, alas." Baili Yuanhao sighed secretly.The situation of He Lin's family is also known to him.He Lin went to Beijing to work, and there was only one old father left in the family.Not earning much money a day, the woman ran away with someone again.He was both a father and a mother by himself, taking care of his son He Xu alone, living a tight life.Now another disaster happened suddenly, the old father in his hometown suddenly had a cerebral thrombosis and was paralyzed in bed, so he had to go back to take care of him.In order not to let this filial and honest young man feel disappointed in life, Baili Yuanhao comforted him again: "Don't worry too much. Now that medicine is getting more and more advanced, your father's illness is still very hopeful to be cured. Also, go back Don't interrupt that kid He Xu's class in the future, his grades are much better now than in the past."

"Well, thank you." He Lin finally had a smile on his gloomy face.
