Still tide

Since Miao Jiayan went to elementary school, she never received her new skirt.

His father refused to let him buy a skirt, thinking that he had a psychological problem.No matter how much grandpa and grandma dote on him, they can only pamper him secretly, and they can no longer buy skirts for them openly.And the clothes in the past were all bought by my mother from the city, and the only things sold in the town were tulle floral skirts, which were not good-looking.

The only white dress belonged to the elder aunt's sister. She came to live in one summer vacation, and then she stayed here and didn't want it.

This is the only dress that Miao Jiayan has received for many years.

Miao Jiayan really wanted to see it, but it was too dark to see clearly.

And Chen Chao didn't let him take it out, he held the bag in his hand to keep Miao Jiayan from moving, and said, "Don't say you want to try it, I can't let you try it."

Are you kidding, black hair and white skirt, killing people.

Miao Jiayan said, "I won't try."

"Good." Chen Chao then took his hand away.

There was thunder in the first half of the night, and Chen Chao didn't remember anything about the horror movies he watched, but he remembered everything today.Various fragments were crowded into his mind one after another, and Chen Chao had to look at Miao Jiayan from time to time, and he felt more at ease seeing Miao Jiayan sleeping peacefully.

The next morning, when Chen Chao opened his eyes, Miao Jiayan had already tidied up, and was sitting beside his bed holding the bag in a daze.

Chen Chao touched him with his knee.

"Brother Chao, are you awake?" Miao Jiayan looked back at him.

"No." Chen Chao closed his eyes again.

Miao Jiayan reached out and shook his leg gently, and asked tentatively, "Can I see it?"

Chen Chao is still sleepy: "Look."

Chen Chao didn't sleep much in the first half of the night, he only slept half of it this time, and it will take at least three hours to sleep until he wakes up naturally.

Just after returning to the cage, I felt a slightly cold hand shaking me again.

Chen Chao frowned and snorted impatiently.

"Brother Chao..." Miao Jia Yanxu gripped Chen Chao's arm, not daring to shake it too hard.

Chen Chao opened his eyes and saw Miao Jiayan squatting on the bedside, looking at him anxiously from the side of the bed.

"What are you doing?" Chen Chao always looked fierce when he was awake.

Miao Jiayan was not afraid of him anymore, she was a little embarrassed: "Do you think I look good?"

Chen Chao was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, so he tried to open them: "Let me see."

Miao Jiayan stood up and stood back, letting Chen Chao look at him.

This is what Chen Chao wanted, and what Jiang Li would buy.

Chen Chao didn't seem to have seen Jiang Li wearing brightly colored clothes, and she didn't like those particularly bright colors.

The skirt that Miao Jiayan is wearing looks a bit like the previous one at first glance. They are all white suspender skirts that cover her calves.The two narrow straps at the shoulder straps are tied in two knots, and the skirt is embellished simply with very thin green lines.

Miao Jiayan's hair was neatly draped over her back, and a small rubber band was tied around her wrist, like a small bracelet.Standing barefoot on the ground at this moment, the ankles are thin and the joints are obvious, and summer has not yet had time to tan.

"It looks good." Although Chen Chao was sleepy, he praised him sincerely.

Miao Jiayan hasn't worn a skirt for a long time, and she looks a little reserved.

Chen Chao couldn't bear it anymore, squinted his eyes, and repeated again: "It looks good."

Chen Chao has never been to the cotton field this year. Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen won't let him go for fear of heatstroke.

Miao Jiayan didn't let him go either, and stood in a team with Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen. In June, Chen Chao was hardly allowed to go out.Anyway, Chen Chao didn't want to go out at first, he doesn't like to move in summer.

Miao Jiayan never took out that skirt to wear, it was hidden in the cabinet, and she didn't take it out very often.

Chen Chao asked him why he didn't wear it.

Miao Jiayan leaned on her arm and said, "I don't want to part with it."

"What is there to be reluctant about?" Chen Chao said, "It won't wear off."

"I'm afraid of getting dirty," Miao Jiayan smiled softly, "It's so white."

"Wear dirty and wash."

"Washing often will turn yellow." Miao Jiayan said.

Before the senior high school entrance examination, Jiang Li took a week off and came here early.

Miao Jiayan met Jiang Li, greeted her, and said "Hello, Auntie".

Jiang Li had met him before and said hello to him.

"Thank you, auntie, for buying me...the clothes," Miao Jiayan paused, but still didn't say "the dress", "It's very beautiful."

Hearing this, Chen Chao raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.Miao Jiayan is not a person who can take the initiative to talk to others, let alone this.

"I also think it's beautiful and clean." Jiang Li said with a smile.

Jiang Li said this very normally, as if she bought a shirt for Miao Jiayan.She didn't take the initiative to lift the "skirt", and there was no avoidance of sight in the words, and she didn't appear to be very enthusiastic, but a familiar and unintentional natural feeling, very similar to Chen Chao.

Chen Guangda hasn't shown up until now, Jiang Li said every day that he is unreliable.Chen Guangda called Chen Chao, and Jiang Li picked it up and asked him, "Are you still in the mood to ask?"

Chen Guangda was scolded by Jiang Li on the phone, while Chen Chao listened to it, making him want to laugh.

Jiang Li scolds people very fiercely, and Chen Guangda was often scolded in the past.Sometimes when the father and father get into trouble together, they will talk about it together at home.Jiang Li said over there that the father and father were listening to each other, not daring to meet their eyes, as long as their eyes met, they always wanted to laugh.

"Chen Guangda, you have never been reliable in your life. Do you know it? Your son is about to take the high school entrance examination." Jiang Li couldn't understand why she was such a father.

"Then you are right, your son is indeed excellent, and if your son is a little less excellent, he will be thrown here." Jiang Li looked at Chen Chao, "Your son is nothing like you, and he followed you all. "

"It's still a good thing," Jiang Li insulted him, "I don't think you know how good it is now."

Jiang Li didn't let people talk, so he had to say something to relieve his anger.Chen Chao doesn't study much now, so he won't study too late at night.Grandma Chen brought up the fruit, and Grandma Chen took back what Jiang Li was about to say, no matter what, she couldn't scold her son in front of the old man.

"Okay, hang up." Jiang Li said.

Schools in the town cannot take exams, and there is no invigilation environment. Candidates have to go to the city to take the exam.

Two days before the exam, Chen Chao had to follow Jiang Li back to the city.Chen Chao asked Ding Wentao to live with him, but Ding Wentao's parents didn't let him, and they would take him with him when the time came.

The night before returning to the city, Miao Jiayan came here once.

He came over to deliver cool oil to Chen Chao.

"Don't forget to bring this, do you have any more?" Miao Jiayan gave him a new can, "Remember to paint. Can you bring it to the examination room?"

"Impossible," said Chen Chao, stuffing it into the side pocket of his schoolbag, "I don't know if there are mosquitoes in the hotel, I'll take it with me."

Chen Chao was not studying, but was sitting on a chair, spinning his pen idly.Jiang Li was downstairs, not in Chen Chao's room.

Miao Jiayan didn't leave immediately, but sat beside Chen Chao's bed.He came from the shower and his hair was still wet.

"Is everything packed?" Miao Jiayan asked.

"Well, there's nothing to clean up." Chen Chao said.He didn't have anything to bring, he just brought a change of clothes, and he didn't plan to bring books.

Miao Jiayan nodded, and sat beside him quietly watching him.

Chen Chao smiled, turned around and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

Miao Jiayan also smiled and asked, "Are you coming back? Brother Chao."

"Go back, all my things are here." Chen Chao put his hand on his head, "Come back after the exam."

Miao Jiayan followed his hand and lowered her head, saying "Yes".

Chen Chao knew that Miao Jiayan was very disappointed. After Jiang Li came these few days, Miao Jiayan didn't come over much.They haven't seen much in the past few days, but Miao Jiayan always smiles every time they meet. Today is the first time he has shown his loss in a subtle way.

Chen Chao said, "Isn't there still a holiday?"

"Yeah," Miao Jiayan nodded again, "Yes."

Chen Chao said, "I'll be back after the exam."

However, Chen Chao came back after failing to finish the exam.

Since he went to grandma's house, he has hardly been to grandma's house, so it's unreasonable not to stay for two days after he comes back.

Although Chen Chao wasn't originally a child with very fair skin, he was definitely not as dark as he is now. He has been in the countryside for three years, and now he is completely a black kid in the countryside.

Grandpa and grandpa saw him laughing and disgusted, saying it was too dark.

They have great opinions on Chen Guangda, and there is always an obvious dislike in what they say.Grandma and grandpa always felt that Jiang Li and Chen Guangda were not in the same family, and now they are leaving, they think this is the inevitable result.

Although Chen Chao didn't want to show his displeasure, he didn't really want to hear it.

In the past three years, Chen Chao and his grandparents have lived together every day, and they have never heard anything bad about Jiang Li from them.

Miao Jiayan came over to deliver steamed buns to Grandma Chen, and asked, "Grandma Chen, is Brother Chao coming back today?"

"Didn't call." Grandma Chen wiped her hands on the apron, took the small pot and said, "His grandparents won't let him go, maybe he has to stay for a few more days."

Miao Jiayan nodded, and helped Grandma Chen peel the potatoes before going back.

Chen Chao hasn't come back for a week, Miao Jiayan would stand in front of the window every morning and look into the opposite room.

If Chen Chao came back, he would be able to see him as soon as he walked around the room.

Miao Jiayan came back from school these days by school bus, and now he doesn't care what the people on the bus say.The windows of the school bus are all open, and when it is open, the wind will come in and blow Miao Jiayan's hair up.Someone behind him deliberately made a "vomit" sound, exaggerated and funny, Miao Jiayan seemed to be unable to hear it.

Compared with before, now his indifference is not like a protective layer deliberately stretched out in front of others as before, but a genuine indifference learned from Chen Chao.

The school bus stopped at the entrance of the village, and Miao Jiayan could get home within a short walk.

Grandma Miao had already prepared dinner, Miao Jiayan put it in her schoolbag, washed her hands and ate.

"Is it going to be a holiday soon?" Grandpa Miao asked.

"There is still one week." Miao Jiayan was a little happy when she thought of the holiday.

"It's good to have a holiday." Grandma Miao was also happy. The old man always felt that it was very hard for the child to leave early and return to school every day. "It's a holiday so I can sleep more in the morning."

Miao Jiayan went upstairs after helping grandma wash the dishes after dinner.

The lights in the opposite room were still turned off, so Miao Jiayan put her schoolbag aside and sat for a while.

It wasn't until there was a crisp "click" sound coming from outside the window that Miao Jiayan suddenly raised her head.

Chen Chao was standing opposite, opening the window and throwing stones at him.

Miao Jiayan "fluttered" and stood up.

Chen Chao looked at him with a smile: "Still coming?"

"Here we come!" Miao Jiayan turned around and left. After walking a few steps, she came back and picked up her schoolbag and walked away with her.

Grandma Miao was cleaning her shoes outside, and Miao Jiayan ran out with her schoolbag. Grandma Miao asked, "Why are you going?"

Miao Jiayan closed the door and said, "Go to Grandma Chen's house, I won't be back at night!"
