rain trail

"Oh," she rubbed her arm with her arm, "my name is Liu Yanzhi, and everyone calls me Yanzi. What's your name?"

"Luo Jiayi." The female classmate called in a low voice like a mosquito.Liu Yanzhi thought for a long time but couldn't think of the three words, so she simply put them to the back of her mind.

"We met, don't you remember?" she said again.

The female classmate let out a muffled "hmm".

Liu Yanzhi was amused: "Then why didn't you greet me when you saw me, and acted like you didn't recognize me."

The people around were silent.There was a long silence.Liu Yanzhi thought she would not answer her again, so she said softly: "You shouldn't talk to me in class, talk to me, you will be regarded as a weird person like me."

"Haha, what are you talking about?" Liu Yanzhi felt that she was simply unreasonable, so she laughed dryly and changed the subject.

"What were you doing in the city then?" Liu Yanzhi asked.

"Competition." Succinct and to the point.

"Oh, I remember. You learned how to play chess, didn't you? I heard them say it."

"Well, yes." Her voice was still soft, as if it was about to disperse in the air at any time.Then the two fell silent, and the air was dead silent.Even the talkative Liu Yanzhi couldn't find anything to initiate a conversation with her.It's just that she didn't expect that it was the female classmate who broke the silence.

"Where is your home, I will take you back."

Liu Yanzhi was flattered for a second, and finally smiled: "No need! I'm in good health, and it's okay to get a little rain."

The female classmate turned a deaf ear to her words and said to herself: "You can't care less about your body like this."

Liu Yanzhi stopped arguing.The female classmate sent her to the door, turned around and left in the opposite direction.

"What are you doing outside, come in quickly!" Mom opened the door and called her.

"Oh, uh uh!" Liu Yanzhi vaguely agreed, and entered the door.

This matter has turned a page, but that female classmate still ignored Liu Yanzhi in the class.Liu Yanzhi didn't like to put a hot face on a cold butt, so naturally she didn't go forward.It's just that the two of them are separated by an aisle, and Liu Yanzhi occasionally touches her from the corner of her eye.When she seldom raised her head, she usually just buried her head on the desk, half of her face was covered by a thick stack of books, not knowing what she was busy with.

Liu Yanzhi was so curious that she couldn't help asking her why her grades were good despite her mind wandering all day long.The female classmate blushed and faltered for a long time, as if Liu Yanzhi had bullied her, she seemed aggrieved.Liu Yanzhi was overjoyed as if she had discovered some new world, and said a few words to her from time to time.The students around looked at Liu Yanzhi more and more strangely.Liu Yanzhi didn't care until her girlfriend went home with her that afternoon.

"I'm serious, don't talk to her." The two were queuing up to check out in the supermarket, and the girlfriend said solemnly.

Liu Yanzhi was amused: "Why, she is not a tiger, why are you afraid of her?"

"Hiss," the girlfriend seemed to shudder, "Who is afraid of her, normal people have instinct to avoid insanity, not fear."

"Why do you say he's crazy?" Liu Yanzhi asked.

The girlfriend seemed to be choking, her eyes flicked around, and she hesitated for a while before saying: "The boys in the class said it. If you want to play with her, they will laugh at you."

Liu Yanzhi sneered: "Those guys are really funny, they are tall, so they dare to arrange behind their backs."

"The main reason is that she looks too weird..." the girlfriend stopped talking in the middle of her sentence.

She put the snacks in her hand on the counter and waited for the salesperson to pay her.

Liu Yanzhi, who often comes to this store, saw this salesperson for the first time.She was tall, with white and thin skin, and a straight back. She was not at all the same as the middle-aged women in the compound who were stained with firework.The fly in the ointment is that there is a red scar on her left face that looks like a burn, which is very scary at first glance.

After paying the bill to her girlfriend, she took the things from Liu Yanzhi's hand, and Liu Yanzhi smelled the faint fragrance of her body.

"Why don't you talk about it." Coming out of the supermarket, Liu Yanzhi asked his girlfriend amusedly.

"That's that girl's mother." The girlfriend looked terrified, like a mouse seeing a cat.

"I heard that she used to be a dancer, but was hired as a mistress by a coal boss. The scar on her face was scalded by his wife. Later, she couldn't dance anymore. In order to avoid her, she ran here with her daughter. Come to a small place."

"Anyway, he's not a serious person." His girlfriend waved her hands in fear.She hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "If you insist on being with her, then I..." Before she finished speaking, a look of regret appeared on her face.

"I'll go first." She dropped this sentence and slipped away like a rabbit.

Liu Yanzhi was silent.

Oatmeal Wowo for dinner at home.The sauce was made by Liu Yanzhi's father, and it was really tasteless, so Liu Yanzhi didn't want to eat it after taking a few bites.

"Mom, did you change the cashier at the supermarket that came out of your school?" She added salt to the sauce while trying to find something to say.

Her mother was still busy working in front of the stove, and she responded with her back: "Yes, the one named Yang from the night shift went back to her hometown to get married."

"Oh, then does she want to marry?" Liu Yanzhi said casually while stirring the rice in the bowl with little interest.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Old Liu across the table frowned, his voice stern.

"After liberation, everyone can fall in love freely. I must want to." Her mother patiently said to her.She came over with egg drop soup and placed it in the center of the table.Liu Yanzhi hurriedly put down the tasteless meal in her hand, and went to pick up the spoon in her hand: "Mom, I'll do it."

She put soup in the bowls of several people on the table, still feeling very strange.

If it was her, she would never want to go back to the small mountain village from the town, just like she didn't want to go back to the town from the city.People go to high places, water flows to low places, isn't this the law of nature?

"Xiao Yang is a good woman. She listens to her family and is virtuous and simple. With such a woman, the family will live well. Look at the woman from Old Zhang in the west of the town, that king or something, who loves money. A few years ago Doing business in the clothing business, running here and there, and finally getting divorced. What a good family is.” Lao Liu sighed: “A woman in her 40s and [-]s has no man and no children. It’s so pitiful.”

Liu Yanzhi's mother sneered: "Little Wang wears gold and silver, and is not burdened by men and children. It's not a comfortable life. Wouldn't it be pitiful to be cheated like you and go back to the village in desperation?"

These words stepped on Lao Liu's painful feet.Old Liu's face turned green and pale, and he wanted to jump up: "Can you not bring up the old score."

"You have to point out the rivers and mountains and ask people not to turn over old scores. How can there be such a good thing in the world." Liu Yanzhi's mother sneered again.

Liu Yanzhi turned a deaf ear, and Liu Yanzhi's younger brother ate with his head bowed without saying a word.

"Have you two finished eating? Go back and do your homework. If you are uneducated, you can only go back to your hometown and get married like Xiao Yang. This is how I live." Liu Yanzhi's mother urged them impatiently.

"Gao Xia, what do you mean, why should I treat you badly?" Lao Liu was completely blown away.

"Liu Hanmin, are you shameless? When you first got married, did I pay for your teacher's living expenses? After you got married, did you throw away your hands as the shopkeeper? When you lost money, you put your tail between your legs, pretended to be honest for a while, and then showed your true colors again in a few days?"

"Swallow, take your brother back to the room." She said sharply.

Liu Yanzhi was finally able to leave the tasteless dinner and escape.She almost trotted back to the room, holding her brother by the collar, and closed the door. There were fierce quarrels and the sound of throwing things through the door. She locked the door as usual, and sat down at the table to do her homework.

The younger brother is only eight years old, and it is time to rely on adults.My parents were fighting, and my sister ignored me, so I could only squat in a corner in a daze.

Liu Yanzhi caught a glimpse of it from the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but say, "Just get used to it. After a few days, Old Liu will be honest again when he makes other mistakes." After speaking, she lay back on her book.
