Mulberry

"I am a teacher in the Admissions Office of No. [-] Middle School. Ye Mo is a very good student, and we are very optimistic about her. I wonder if Ye Mo has a favorite school. Would you like to visit our campus and learn more about it?"

This suggestive good news put smiles on everyone's faces, and then Dad picked up the phone to chat with him in detail and set a time.

Ye Chen couldn't help being happy when she learned that she could go to No. [-] Middle School, which proved that she was the best student.

No one can resist such praise.

Just going to No. [-] Middle School means living in school, Ye Mo is a little helpless, and finally feels that a good school is more important.

They went to No. [-] Middle School on a weekend, conducted a simple interview, and successfully received the admission news.

Ye Mo excitedly jumped up and down the campus, looking at the teaching building much larger than the elementary school, the 400-meter regular track, and the children who also came to interview.

She couldn't help but wonder, could there be some of my classmates here?

Parents are actively socializing on the side, exchanging their own information, boasting about each other's children, and wishing to establish a grade group for the first grade of junior high school on the spot.

After finally returning home with the good news, Ye Chen smiled sweetly and was about to fall asleep.

The moonlight poured into the window, and the shadow of the tree outside the window was printed on the ground. The mulberry tree stood tall and straight outside, like an ordinary tree, even more like the big tree in her dream.

It's now two stories high.

Ye Chen was inexplicably guilty, she didn't know if it was right for her to stay away from home so busy.

But everyone wants to go to No. [-] Middle School...

It seems a bit ridiculous to be so entangled with an indistinct dream and an indistinct voice.

Ye Li turned over and forced herself not to look out the window.

So much time has passed, is she going to wait all the time?

She no longer remembers the person in the dream very much, but only vaguely remembers this touching story.

Maybe it's because of this that I can't forget the mulberry tree.

Ye Mo closed her eyes, thinking that it is better to rest quickly, and go to class reunions during the holidays, life in junior high school is still very tiring...

The happy holidays are fleeting, and the start of junior high school makes her extremely nervous.

After checking the reported things for the third time, Ye Li finally set off and started her junior high school life.

Reporting, carrying luggage, making the bed, meeting the teacher, introducing myself.

The new environment and unfamiliar classmates always make people extra nervous and busy.

But Ye Mo was very happy, her roommates were easy to get along with, it was the first time she took a shower and had dinner at school, and spent the first night at school with them.

A night without dreams.

The next day, Ye Mo realized that life in junior high school was completely different from that in elementary school. She could stay with her classmates almost all day long and could not run around in the community like before.

You can only stay on campus, and more often in small classrooms.

After eating and taking a bath in the afternoon, and doing laundry by myself, I would be exhausted.

In the evening, there are more homework, and the two evening self-study sessions are full of homework. There is no mobile phone and no entertainment, so I can only chat with my classmates.

I think she, Ye Mo, was in elementary school, but she never did her homework all night!

Fortunately, Ye Li is very happy that she has made many friends.

Every day, I can play games with my classmates in physical education class, and I can always laugh so much that I forget my troubles and the past.

The first week was extremely short, and it was hard to settle down in many matters, and it was Friday.

"Ye Mo, have you heard that there is a test every Sunday when you return to school!" The bad news came from the same table.

Ye Mo's eyes widened in fright, and after getting the teacher's affirmation, she lay down on the table sadly.

"I don't want to go back, let my time stay on Friday...no, Saturday!"

It's a pity that she not only has to take the test, but also has a lot of papers.

"I don't have much homework left, and I can definitely finish it in less than an hour."

"Junior high school students, write more questions to lay a good foundation, and it will be easy for you in high school." The teachers of each subject said.

Ye Chen couldn't stop complaining, the key is that every subject teacher is like this!

In junior high school, many sub-subjects have also changed and entered the scope of the exam, leaving homework one after another.

Biology, geography, politics... Ye Li counted homework, sadly picked up her schoolbag and prepared to go home.

The tablemate patted her: "You know what, the monitor is so miserable, she doesn't go home on weekends."

Although the school allows overnight stays on weekends, it is usually in the second and third grades that activists stay to study.

"It's only the first week? Don't try so hard."

"No, her home is far away, not in this district, and her parents are not at home this week."

The two cast sympathetic glances at the squad leader, and quickly slipped away.

Even so, it took Ye Mo more than an hour to get home in her father's car.

After returning home and hurriedly finishing dinner, Ye Mo finally got her mobile phone and went online happily.

This is what her parents assigned her after seeing her contact with teachers and classmates in junior high school.

It's a pity that the school does not use it, and it can only be played on weekends.

When you get home, of course you have to relax!Of course, Ye Li saved all her homework until Sunday.

So I got up early in the morning and wrote my homework for a day without leaving the stool. After eating at [-] pm, I went back to school early to prepare for the test with my homework.

"I'm so busy—" Ye Mo shouted in despair.

"Hurry up and make up, the test will be done soon." The deskmate finished her homework early and looked at her gloatingly.

Ye Mo stared at the homework in front of her resentfully, and started the busy first day of junior high school.

After a few busy weeks, when Ye Li couldn't bear to go back and forth to school, she heard another shocking news.

"What? Where are we moving?"

Mom: "I bought the house a long time ago, and it was renovated when you were in junior high school. I didn't say it because I was afraid it would affect you."

"But are we really going to move to the city? I don't want to..."

"How close is it to your school, and the facilities in the city are good, what's the matter?"

Ye Mo knew that it was impossible for her to influence this decision. After buying the house, she would have to move there sooner or later.

Fortunately, she still thought that she could live in the old house forever.

That's right, apart from the elementary school, there is not even a subway station here, and it takes an hour to enter the city.

"Anyway, I don't want to move there so early." Ye Mo pouted, unwilling to leave so easily.

She glanced at the mulberry tree outside the window, and always felt that she had done something wrong when she left.

"Hey, I was just about to tell you," Mom patted her head and discussed softly, "It's not that fast, we have to move in these few weeks, and your dad and I only have time on weekends, so I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of you when you come back. "

"Ye Chen is a big child, you can stay for a while to take care of yourself."

"When the time comes, let's clean up and tidy up, and take you directly to your new home, shall we?"

Ye Chen's eyes widened, and the words of retort stuck in her throat.

Isn't she just unable to live here?She really wanted to say that she would come back, but her parents worked overtime overnight to buy a house, and they sometimes had to travel on weekends.

Not to mention driving back and forth to move furniture, it must be very busy, and then she can only add chaos to the messy home.

Ye Mo feels wronged: "I still like this place..."

The mother guessed that her daughter was reluctant to part with her friends here, and comforted her, "We will still come back, and we can come and stay here for a few days when we are free."

"Xiaoye can still keep in touch with her friends, and she can also make an appointment to play in the city together."

No matter what Ye Chen thought, she finally returned to the bedroom muttering.

He fell asleep with a guilty conscience, and slept very deeply.

The tablemate saw Ye Mo going back to school sullenly, and was concerned about what happened to her.

"Our family is moving to the city center..."

"It's a good thing, my house is also near the school, so we can go shopping together on weekends!"

Ye Mo was amused by her exaggerated expression, and wanted to open up a little.

Anyway, I live here, and I usually spend most of my time at school, so it doesn't matter if I don't go back to the old house a few times now.

The tablemate pushed her with an elbow: "There are many interesting places around, and there is also a snack street. I am familiar with it. I will take you when the time comes."

Ye Mo nodded: "I just have to get through these few weeks of staying overnight."

"It's too miserable, I haven't had a mobile phone for so long!"

Staying at school on weekends was extremely boring, but the canteen on weekends changed from a big pot of rice to a small stir-fry, which made her feel that it was not particularly difficult.

As time passed, Ye Li was not so resistant to moving.

About a month later, Ye Mo also went home for the last time, packed up her things, and prepared to move to a new home.

Her parents helped her carry things, and she walked last. Before going out, she looked back and saw the tall mulberry tree outside the window, and suddenly felt that the window was so far away from the door.

She was thinking in a lonely heart, she didn't know what she was waiting for, anyway, she will come back to see you later.

Goodbye.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the light illuminated a large area around the balcony. The shadows of mulberry leaves dangled on the ground, making Ye Li feel that the brightness was a bit dazzling.

She turned around silently, walked step by step into the dark corridor, walking faster and faster, almost chasing her parents in front.

With the meaning of fleeing.

The city center is so bustling, it seems to be glass jars filled with all kinds of crystal candies, red, green and purple, there are always endless tastes.

Leaf likes it very much.

In the first few months after moving, she sometimes went back to the old house on weekends, wandered around the community, looked at flowers and trees.

But with the passage of time, Ye Mo went back less and less.

Sometimes I stay overnight and study hard with my deskmate; sometimes I spend weekends in urban areas; sometimes I can spend the whole day at home playing games online.

It is becoming more and more difficult for Ye Li to be satisfied with the small community in the old community that lacks entertainment facilities.

She and her junior high school classmates also often play in the city center. They make appointments to go shopping and eat, and swim freely in the bustling fast-paced city. Who still remembers a mulberry tree that needs people to wait in the old community.

The summer vacation after the end of the first year of junior high school will soon be promoted to the second year of junior high school.

Ye Mo went back to the old community for a few days, attended elementary school gatherings, and visited teachers.

Friends from childhood to adulthood haven’t seen each other for so long, and they have endless conversations. Most of them have moved away, and they hang out in the community in twos and threes.

Ye Mo followed her classmates back to the small pond. Now a small bridge has been newly built, and a few stone tables and benches have been built around the area.

It has been made into a small garden between the buildings, which is quite grand.

Ye Li looked at the cleaned pond, the blue tiles, the clear water, and a few goldfish in the water.

She was in a trance for a while, but couldn't think of anything.

She touched the red thread on her neck, and a jade was worn under the red thread.

I don't know if it was because her luck improved after she grew up a little bit, and she never encountered anything again. Most of her mind was filled with trivial matters in life, and there were no collisions of those wonderful and wonderful ideas.

In her eyes, this jade has become an ordinary amulet that she always carries.

She smiled, not knowing what she was thinking.

When I was a child, my thoughts were really weird...

It is obviously a normal pond, but maybe he was short when he was a child, so he was afraid of this not deep pond.

She vaguely remembered that she had a serious illness in the third and fourth grades. It seemed to be a high fever, and it was very uncomfortable to hang on the water for a long time.

She couldn't remember clearly, she couldn't help feeling lost, and she even imagined that there was a fairy sister accompanying her, if it was true...
