Mulberry

When Ye Mo opened her eyes, it was already the evening of the second day, and she miraculously felt that she was much better.

She saw the mulberry tree outside the window. After a night of heavy rain, it looked very clean, but the drooping branches were a little sluggish.

Mom came in to take the temperature: "Thank God, the fever is finally gone."

Ye Mo looked out of the window and answered absent-mindedly.

"By the way, I'd better stay at home for one more day today. Give me your jade, and I'll make an appointment with the master to show you."

Ye Mo took off the jade worn around her neck and found that there were obvious cracks.

But she didn't care, just thinking about last night's dream blankly.

Seeing that she was not in good spirits, my mother thought it was because of her illness, so she took Lianyu to contact the master.

Ye Mo thought to herself, no, it was Sister Sang who actually helped her.

She understood a lot overnight.

Sister Sang is her good friend, always has been, since the last life.

She stared at the leaves in a daze, and called Sang's name softly, but did not get the slightest response.

I don't know if the weather after the rain was too calm, without the slightest breeze, and the mulberry trees didn't even shake their leaves as before.

Ye Mo panicked: "Sister Sang! Are you still there?"

She stared out of the window, not even daring to blink, and waited for a long time, so long that she thought she would never receive a response.

A faint breeze brushed her face, and a soft whisper came.

"I'm fine, I'll be fine in a while, okay?"

Ye Mo rubbed her ears, her eyes widened in disbelief, it wasn't her hallucinations!

The smile got bigger and bigger, she couldn't help but rolled onto the bed and jumped up and down happily, causing the adults to roar.

"If you are sick, you don't have to go to school to tell you to have a good rest! Don't jump on the bed!"

She lay down smiling, the secret in her heart was sweet.

She is patient and can wait slowly.

After a few days, life has become more and more peaceful.

Ye Mo went back to school with a new bodyguard; the master came to deal with the harmful water ghost.

Even the cartoon on TV is coming to an end, and the protagonist and his party return happily and peacefully.

It's just that the sang tree has not changed, and she has never dreamed of Sister Sang again.

Sometimes she stares at the mulberry tree in a daze, thinking that life is like this, only ordinary mulberry trees planted for silkworm breeding.

"That's not it," Ye Mo retorted in a low voice, "I'll wait until Sister Sang."

Ye Li has developed the habit of complaining to the tree, and there are so many troubles in school.

It's just that she has been promoted to the fifth grade, why is there still no movement.

Another afternoon after school, Luobo came to Ye Chen's house to watch TV.

The protagonists on TV celebrated the banquet and dug out the time treasure box they buried in the ground. Everyone was moved to recall the past.

Luo Bo suddenly remembered again: "Let's make a Time Treasure Box too. I'll come back to see it after I'm admitted to junior high school. I'm sure I'll be very touched."

Ye Mo's heart moved: "Okay, let's write something."

"Of course we have to write something that can record our friendship. We are good friends who are invincible in the universe."

"I want to write some secrets." Ye Mo thought to herself, no, I want to write to Sister Sang and remember her.

However, the kind-hearted Ye Li still wrote down some good friends such as radish on the paper.

On the second day, they slipped out of the house like thieves, took the biscuit tin box and a small shovel that had been prepared earlier, and joined hands outside the window.

"Have you brought everything together?"

"I brought it all."

Ye Mo dug a hole next to the mulberry tree she planted, solemnly put their note in the box, and wrote

Luo Xinyi

junior high school open

It took them a lot of effort to dig out a deep hole, put the box in the center with care, and gently cover it with soil.

He stepped on the ground again and threw some weeds and leaves to cover it up to prevent people from seeing it.

They looked at each other with a guilty conscience and smiled, excited about having their own Time Treasure Box.

Ye Li patted the mud on her hands, and asked worriedly: "What if we forget where we bought it?"

The two squatted on the ground and thought hard for a while.

"Yes, let's make a mark on the tree!" Ye Mo pointed to the trunk.

"We draw a five-pointed star here, so we know it's buried near here."

So I took the tip of the shovel and carved it for a long time, without thinking about what to do if the mark is gone.

Ye Li looked up at the mulberry tree that was already one story high, it was already considered lush, the sunlight passing through the leaves was a bit dazzling.

Sister Sang shouldn't be in pain, I just scratched a little bark.

If you don't want us to do this, come and scold us!

Ye Mo felt a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's go back quickly." Luo Bo looked at the finished result and was very satisfied.

"Ah, I suddenly remembered that there is still homework left!" She cried sadly, "There are so many homework in the fifth grade! The English teacher left a whole paper."

Ye Chen didn't have time to think about anything else for a moment, her mind was occupied by unfinished homework: "What should I do... No, I'll go back first."

The two rushed to do their homework again.

Life was always like this when I was a child, troubles come and go quickly, only more and more homework can't be shaken.

Ye Chen really likes such a peaceful life, maybe because she grew up a bit, she didn't encounter any strange things after the high fever that time.

It's just that sometimes I sigh, why I still haven't dreamed of Sister Sang.In a blink of an eye, I went into endless supplementary lessons and homework.

But fortunately, the mulberry tree outside the window is still growing upward every day, with dense branches and leaves.

"When you reach the fifth and sixth grades, you are already a quasi-junior high school student. Students and parents should pay attention to it. It is very important to enter the junior high school!"

The teacher has repeatedly emphasized that it has brought anxiety and competition to the old community.

Parents who hope their children will become a success do not want their children to go to public junior high schools divided by region, and they all compete for excellent private places.

Everyone pays more and more attention to grades, and there are more and more cram schools and homework. Even Ye Lian has to go to the city center for cramming on weekends.

Occasionally, there are joint exams of major tutoring institutions, and math competitions in various districts. In order to have a good resume, everyone is vying to go.

Ye Mo was tired and hugged Luo Luo and cried: "I don't want to take the exam! I don't want to go to junior high school!"

There is less time to stare at the mulberry tree outside the window in a daze.

"Is it good for Xiaoye to go to No. [-] Middle School?" It was another conversation at the dinner table. Parents hoped that their daughter could go to a key junior high school.

"It's also good to go to No. [-] Middle School to live, it can exercise independence."

"Mom, I don't want to talk about this now." Ye Mo was angry, she was in the sixth grade, puberty came as promised, and she became more and more disgusted with her parents' dictating.

And she doesn't want to live on campus, No. [-] Middle School is too far away from home, she wants to go home every day and look at the trees outside the window every day.

One or two years have passed, and she can't remember Sister Sang's appearance clearly. She just thinks of that gentle female voice by chance, and she is not sure if it is real.

Sometimes she is in a daze, and wonders if she has lost her memory. Is this really the case?

But Ye Li looked at the mulberry tree outside the window, always willing to go to school, waiting for her.

"Where are you going, Ye Zi?" Luo Bo asked her on the way back from school. The next semester is approaching, and some outstanding students have already received contact numbers from key junior high schools.

More and more children raised their heads from the small campus, looked at the big world for the first time, and thought about their own future for the first time.

"My grades mean that I won't be able to get into the No. [-] middle school." Luo Bo was a little sad, "Maybe I will go to the No. [-] and No. [-] middle schools."

"Do you want to go to No. [-] Middle School too?"

Ye Zi was surprised: "Of course, who doesn't want to go to a key junior high school, and we are actually a key elementary school, so there should be many students going there."

Luobo is very yearning: "If I go, I can continue to be a classmate."

Ye Zi nodded silently, she also wanted to continue to be friends with her current classmates.

In fact, there is no good junior high school in the old community. Ye Chen's family has actually decided to move to the city center after entering junior high school, but they didn't let this disturb Ye Chen's final exam.

Ye Mo asked: "Do you want to live on campus?"

Carrot: "Should still live on campus, it's very free, and there will be no parents watching to eat snacks! You can sleep when you want!"

Ye Mo agreed, she also wanted to live a life without her parents nagging.

Carrot: "You can come back on weekends, five days is not long."

Ye Chen was convinced by her, yes, she can come back every weekend, and she can still stare out the window in a daze.

I have never seen Sister Sang, I wonder if I can really see her?

No matter how entangled with Ye Chen's doubts, the days passed as usual, and the final exam was approaching day by day.

The students are not afraid of the exam, but are full of reluctance for the upcoming separation.

During the class break, students exchanged flying all over the sky, discussing where to go during the holidays, and celebrating the reduction of homework before the exam. All emotions mixed with excitement, anticipation, nervousness and confusion were all wiped out when the bell rang at the end of the exam.

Ye Chen walked out of the campus in a daze, feeling that everything passed so quickly, from enrollment to graduation, from pencil writing to [-]-character composition.

She has just stepped out of elementary school, and she seems to have no memory of what happened in school.

The graduation ceremony also passed quickly. Everyone was crying and laughing, taking pictures, and when they took off their school uniforms, Ye Mo suddenly began to think about the future.

Where will her future go in the future?

Think of the protagonist in the cartoon, who will definitely defeat the bad guys and have a happy future with her friends, so what about her.

Ye Chen couldn't figure out what was going to happen after so long, so she could only start to worry about which junior high school to go to.

The junior high school she entered directly was not very good. In fact, she could also apply for the second and third middle schools. With the top grades in the class, she should be admitted as well.

It's just that everyone is saying it's good.

It's really good, the teacher also said that entering a key junior high school is equivalent to entering the door of a key high school, and only a key high school can guarantee a good university.

Ye Li kept thinking about it, and she was still thinking about it until dinner.

She calculated that it would be ten years before she graduated from college, ten years.

For her who is only 12 years old, it seems that the experience of the past 12 years is not important. In the face of a great future, the troubles of a little elementary school student are not worth mentioning, and they are not important anymore.

Ye Chen suddenly felt that No. [-] Middle School was pretty good, she could still come back every week, she just went to junior high school.

She can still come back and wait...

Mechanically stuffing rice into her mouth, she was interrupted by the melodious ringtone of her mobile phone before she thought of who she was waiting for.

Dad picked up the phone, pressed the call button, and opened his eyes wide in surprise after hearing it.

He waved his hand as a signal, and carefully turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello, can you hear me? Excuse me, are you the parent of Ye Chen? I wonder if you are interested in learning about our school."
