fall in love with Echizen

I almost knelt down on the playground when my legs were weak after running, and was grabbed by the dragon horse.

Ryoma: "Let's go some distance first."

I bowed my head and panted, and was supported by him to walk for a while, and my legs got better.

When I finally came home, my steps were light and light.

I wonder if my leg will be useless tomorrow...

Push open the door, quietly.

I looked in through the crack of the study door, and my mother was writing hard.

Yeah, it seems like mom's exam is coming soon...

I closed the door and went to the kitchen to cook noodles by myself.

Put an egg and some salt.

Bubbles were bubbling in the pot, and the noodles gradually softened. I waited for a while, and then placed the prepared seasoning bowls.

After the noodles were cooked, I took them to the study and put them on my mother's table: "It's time to eat."

The mother who wore the glasses she didn't wear often raised her head from the book, and smiled under the light of the lamp: "Thank you, Ewha."

"Eat it clean."

I went out again, my dad was still working overtime and didn't come back, so I sat at the dining table and finished the noodles.

Crack—the door opened.

"Pear Blossom Sauce, Dad is back." The man took off his shoes, put on slippers and came in.

I just finished eating, and my dad went into the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles.

He sat across from me, scratched his chestnut hair, and said in a low voice: "I saw your entrance exam, it was No.3, it's great! Maths is still number one!"

I lowered my eyes and took a sip of soup: "Got it."

"What do you want for pear blossom sauce?" Dad hummed a few times triumphantly.

I wiped my mouth and paused: "I want No.1."

"ambitious!"

Me: "By the way, grandpa asked me to play with him on weekends."

Dad: "Go, go..."

After the meal, we didn't make any noise to disturb my mother, and went back to our respective rooms. I saw my father bring a cup of hot milk into the study.

After closing the door of the room, I reviewed my daily routine for a while, then lay on the bed and thought about it, and fell asleep after thinking about it.

……

In fact, my mother used to be a poor student. She didn't get into high school, graduated from junior high school, and got married as soon as she reached the age.

Now my father is not my biological father, but the object of my mother's second marriage.

I came into this world when she was 17 years old.

What I remember most is how she often bent down, to that man, to anyone.

Mom has black eyes, I'm gray, genetic biological father.

Grandpa didn't want to come to our place, he spurned: "I told you to study hard to change yourself. I have no culture and money, so I just want to support you to study hard! Who can you blame now!"

Mom didn't speak.

The older I got, the more I felt my mom's desire to learn...or change myself.

"...Pear Blossom, you took the last test again...you..." The man seemed to be angry at the dining table, "Sure enough, I shouldn't have married someone with no education! Poor genes!"

He loosened his tie and went out the door.

I waited for him to leave before eating slowly.

My mother has no right to speak at home, she just wiped my hands: "...Does it hurt Lihua?"

Me: "It's okay, it hurts a lot when the teacher beat me."

Patta, a tear dripped on the back of my hand, I looked up, and my mother cried.

After a while, I thought about it, "Mom, can we leave him?"

"...Ewha is not that easy." Mom wiped away her tears carelessly, showing a smile, "Mom doesn't have a job now, you should study hard."

I know because Dad needs Mom to be at home.

Me: "I hate reading, and I hate math."

That's why I only scored more than ten points in mathematics.

Mom stopped talking, and after a while she finished applying the medicine, "If you don't study hard, you will be the next mother."

I thought of something else: "Mom, why are you with Dad?"

"...Because mom is so stupid, your dad..." The woman was silent for a moment.

She didn't know how to tell her children that she was dazzled by love, her grades plummeted, and she finally became like this.

Even because he believed his promise, he allowed his grades to decline and indulged in his dreams.

"...In short," she said, "Ewha, when you encounter good things, you should hold on tightly, but don't hold on too tightly... There can be many stages of love, but there is only one life."

"No one can compare to yourself."

I nodded.

Later, Dad didn't come home very often, and he didn't talk when he came home.

I was lying on the bed, my mother helped me cover the quilt, and I opened my eyes to see her.

Me: "Can't we get a divorce?"

Mom stopped.

Me: "Can't you find grandpa?"

Maybe it was unbearable, mother paused, hesitated and said, "I'll try..."

……

It finally worked.The man couldn't wait to leave.

My mother took me back to my hometown, and my grandfather was waiting at the door with a cane. When he saw my mother snorted coldly: "I will only raise you for one year. Lihua, come here."

I went over and took his wrinkled hand.

Grandpa is not happy, but he is very diligent when helping mother.

Mom worked a lot and couldn't move an inch without a diploma.

She often comes home very tired.

At night, when I heard the sound of the door opening, I immediately got up from the bed and opened the door.

Mom looked tired: "Ewha? Haven't slept yet?"

I didn't say a word, turned around and opened the zipper of my schoolbag, took out a pen, took my mother's hand, and put the pen in her palm: "Mom, let's study together and take the college entrance exam."

The woman was stunned for a moment, her eyelashes trembling, and after a while, she pushed back: "Ewha, youth will never come again."

Me: "Am I your burden?"

Mom: "No, baby. You're my support."

She stood up and was going to take a shower, but the pen fell to the ground, and I didn't catch it. It fell to the ground with a thud, rolled, and rolled in front of a person. He bent down to pick it up: "Ewha, don't sleep."

I stopped chasing and said, "Grandpa."

"..." Grandpa put the pen on the table, looked at the place where my mother disappeared with cloudy eyes, and rubbed my head casually, "Don't be so useless like your mother when you fall in love in the future."

I hold down the tousled top of my hair.

He paused, and said, "Tell your mother to study, I'm going to be buried soon, and it's still useful."

I laughed: "OK!"

I don't know how difficult it is for an adult to enter school again.

I just grabbed my mother's sleeve and said honestly: "We took the Mandarin test today, and I asked Xiao Ming a question and finally realized that he was wrong. It's not too late."

"The standard answer is not too late. I got the answer right, and the teacher praised me."

"..." Mom rubbed my head and didn't speak again.

I don't know how difficult it is for a person who has left the foundation to take the college entrance examination again, but as long as my mother appears in my field of vision, she will keep reading.

In the end the pressure was too much and I failed the first exam.

But she met her father, who was an idiot, and he admired the spirit of my mother very much.

Dad excitedly took my mother's hand: "I'm Huo Yewu! I think you're great! You're very courageous!"

Because my father is so naive and passionate that he is single until now.

Then they fell in love.

"Fire wild pear blossom... God! It's like a flower blooming in the fire! It's super high school level!" Dad smiled silly as always.

I was rubbed in the face: "... what is the super high school level?"

"...It's the stalk of Danganronpa," he said very seriously when he talked about Two-dimensional, "it's hope."

I:"………"

The burden of supporting my mother's studies was transferred from my grandfather to my father, and he accepted it cheerfully: "The money is finally used in places other than figurines."

Me: "..." Is it a local tyrant? !

Mom also does part-time jobs, but she lives comfortably.

Until the moment when the admission notice came down, I was relieved.

Grandpa poured cold water every day: "It's just an ordinary university, below average."

Dad said with enthusiasm: "It's great! The waste material flow standard starts!"

"..." Grandpa looked down at me, "Is he an idiot?"

I:"……"

Mom covered her mouth and smiled, leaning on Dad.

I seldom cry. I didn't even cry when the man left, but now I cry.

But no one comforted me, only ridicule.

Mom: "We Lihua seldom cry."

Dad raised his mobile phone: "Record the precious video of Lihua crying."

I sobbed: "...you go away."

In the fifth grade, everything was calm, and my grandfather and I were fishing.

Grandpa hummed: "Your mother is really, this tossed me."

I popped a piece of candy and stuffed it in my mouth.

Grandpa: "Be careful of tooth decay, you love sweets so much."

I vaguely agreed.

Grandpa stared at the lake for a while, and said, "Lihua, did you make progress in the last exam?"

Since the day my mother decided to study, I have been studying all day long, and I also learned mathematics that I hate.

Me: "I've made progress."

Grandpa hummed, and he shook the newspaper: "..."

There was a tennis news on it. He pointed it out to me. I leaned closer and looked at it casually. The newspaper was a tennis news about a person of the same age. It seemed that he had won an award.

I ignored it, sat back on the stool, and chewed on the candy.

Grandpa took a few glances: "Echizen Ryoma... Huh, this kind of child who has worked hard since childhood and has resources is good. Lihua, you don't have any talents, and you don't have any special hobbies. The only way is to study, you know? Don't look at the chicken soup of opportunities, not everyone has them."

The wind blew, and there were waves on the lake.

I hum.

I stared at the fishing line and thought for a while: "Grandpa, I want to be admitted to Dongda University."

Grandpa glanced at me: "Not bad ideal."

Me: "What if someone in my country also falls in love?"

Grandpa: "Love is not a scourge, so what are you afraid of. Break up if it doesn't work."

"Here," grandpa shook the newspaper, "if you are in love with him, you probably have to study hard to be worthy of him."

I didn't read the newspaper, and retorted seriously: "I don't study to be worthy of others."

Grandpa was stunned for a moment: "...you are right, it is grandpa who said wrong."

I turned my head: "It's okay."

The woods behind him rustled, quiet and cold.

I suddenly said: "Mom said that you can fall in love many times, but you only have one life."

Grandpa snorted through his nose: "Fart, that's what I told your mother. She is a pirated version, and I am a genuine one."

"Pear Blossom—Dad—it's time to eat!" Dad poked his head out from the woods, "Pear Blossom, Pear Blossom, come here, Dad has sugar here."

"..." Grandpa glanced at him, "Like a trafficker."

I walked over, and my grandfather followed, and said casually, "Ewha, where do you want to go to middle school?"

Me: "Let's go to school."

Grandpa: "Well... it's a distance that can be reached in one jump, not bad."

Dad quietly bowed his head: "I'll buy you games after passing the exam, foreign products!"

Grandpa: "..."

Later, I was admitted to Qingxue, and my mother was promoted to a sophomore.

At least, you have to see the future.
