Warm sun under the leaves [rebirth]

Chapter 6

The new year is coming soon, and General Xia really hasn't come back.

Summer's mother prepared a large table of dishes, and at night they waited for two hours, but the gate was still quiet, and even the whole yard was quiet.Summer's mother put the sweater sticks away and called the father and two to eat.

The table meal is the same as in previous years.Xia Tian didn't feel too much, but felt sorry for his mother.

Grandpa said something at the dinner table, which caused Xia Tian's mother to almost shed tears. She resisted and said: "Dad, it's okay. It's not a year or two. Our little sky is so big, I'm not used to it yet." Is it?"

After hearing this, Xia Tian picked up a chopstick dish for his mother, "Mom, eat the vegetables."

The family of three finally settled the New Year's Eve dinner.

In the evening, the two boys from the Jiang family came to find Xia Tian to set off the cannon.Jiang Laosan leaned next to Jiang Er, probably playing crazy when it snowed, and the snot kept running, rubbing all over Jiang Er's thigh pants.

Xia Tian was very interested, and played a few in a row. He teased Jiang Lao San with a firework stick, but the other party only hid behind Jiang Er and did not come out.Xia Tian spread his hands, and when he looked up, he saw Li Xuan looking at them from a distance.Xia Tian just wanted to call someone, but the other party turned his head and left.

"Tomorrow, my family will go to pay New Year's greetings, and the day after tomorrow I will be busy at home. It's a shame to think about it."

"It's really cheap to think about these annoying things when it's Chinese New Year."

Jiang Er threw away the fireworks stick in his hand, "Forget it, I don't want to. When are you going to Ye's house, do you want me to go with you?"

"Farewell, I'll go by myself. The relationship between our two families will change if you get in the middle."

Jiang Er rolled his eyes: "You still despise me."

Under the firelight, Xia Tian didn't speak, but seeing Jiang Laosan rubbing his snot on Jiang Er's leg again, he burst out laughing.

Jiang Eryue knew what he was laughing at, and patted Jiang Laosan on the head: "This kid made me sick, and my mother told me to take credit for it."

"Come on, your mother didn't wash these pants."

The two chatted for a while, and they went back to their houses after seeing the fireworks in the capital had stopped.

This Chinese New Year is getting more and more boring, and I don't even keep the New Year's Eve.In the Xia family, Xia Tian’s mother was still sitting in the living room knitting sweaters. Xia Tian knew that her mother was not watching the year, but the father who couldn’t go home a few times that year.

He stood secretly at the door on the second floor, and saw that the TV program had come to an end, but his mother seemed motionless.A sweater looks like it could be knitted tonight.Xia Tian lowered his eyes, thinking of the parents in his memory as well.In my memory, my father was transferred to Beijing at the end of this year. If there is no accident, my mother finally has something to look forward to.

The family will be smooth and smooth, and everything will be fine.

After all, the Xia family is not in that muddy water, and the rest of their lives will be safe and sound.

Xia Tian thinks, in his memory, when he insisted on not going to the military academy and going abroad, his father did not strongly object, most of the reason is probably because as a father, he did not play an important role in his more than ten years of growing up, so he also lost Gave the confidence to point fingers at the end.

Since it was like this in memory, it should be like this now.

Running away from Ye Ping in summer is to escape from that established life, but he is close to Ye Ping, what is he close to?Maybe I just want to make myself happy and free.

But where does the emotion that makes me swing from side to side come from?

He was not superstitious, but he seemed unable to explain the sudden memory.It's as if it's been done once, and it's all over again.

But, that person, Ye Ping.

The behavior of that person was different from what he remembered, which made Xia Tian feel uneasy.

This night, he spent the night upstairs with his mother, witnessing the process of knitting a sweater.

In the second year of junior high school, Xia Tian visited Ye's house.Not long after the Ye family came to Beijing, there were not many people walking around, but definitely not too few.When Xia Tian arrived at Ye's house, he was led into the room by Ye Ping before he could say a few words. He stayed in the room and read for a long time. He waited for people to leave before he went downstairs to greet Uncle Ye.

It was still in memory, Ye Ping's father didn't look much like Ye Ping, and he was much stricter than Ye Pingfan.Xia Tian thought of Ye Ping who was in a suit and leather shoes in his memory and always had a smile on his face, and when he saw the man in front of him, he suddenly felt that Ye Ping should inherit more from his mother.

"Xiao Tian, ​​I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."

"Auntie, don't say that. Ye Ping and I are good friends. There is nothing wrong with you. Don't treat me as an outsider."

He turned his head to look at Ye Ping's mother, and smiled inwardly.

It turns out that Ye Ping doesn't look like his parents at all.

He doesn't quite remember why his future self would quarrel with Ye Ping in the bar. In his entire memory, what he remembers most is Uncle Ye's depression and depression in the second half of his life.No matter how successful Ye Ping will be in the future, and how many people are pursuing him, Uncle Ye will not have much joy.

Perhaps for him, a failure in his official career is a lifetime blow.

Fundamentally speaking, Ye Ping is very similar to his father.

Xia Tian looked at Ye Ping who came out with a fruit plate - a heart-warming smile hung on his face.No one knew, not even his parents, how indifferent was behind such a smile.

Xia Tian didn't know if Ye Ping hated his father in the past, he only knew that Ye Ping who came back from abroad was more indifferent than before, and he almost never went home after climbing to the top step by step.

Clenching his fist and feeling a little pain, he realized that it was different from what he remembered.

Ye Ping might not go abroad, and he is no longer in friendship with Ye Ping, and the current Ye Ping makes him feel a little strange.

He asked himself that he should understand this person, but getting along like this, he felt as if he had never understood him before.

"What are you thinking, in a trance."

Ye Ping took a piece of orange and shook it in front of Xia Tian's eyes, causing Xia Tian to raise his eyes and glance at him, and also took an orange and peeled it.

"What can I think, didn't I talk to Uncle Ye just now?" Xia Tian said to Ye Ping's father, "Uncle Ye has been in Beijing for a month, and it's my fault that I just came to visit. My mother originally said to come together, But it’s winter, and it snowed a few days ago, don’t worry about Grandpa being alone at home, so I’m here on behalf of him.”

"It's us who should visit you. It's just that I just took over the job and I've been busy. I'll see Mr. Xia after a while."

Xia Tian nodded.He intended to say something more, but it was inconvenient because of Ye Ping's presence.Then he said: "Then I will play with Ye Ping."

"It's rare that you're all better. Go ahead. Ye Ping fell ill some time ago, and he hasn't recovered yet. Be careful."

Xia Tian was surprised: "Why are you sick?"

"I'll have to ask him about it. He didn't come back until midnight. He had a fever the next day. The weather in Beijing is different from S. He's not used to it in winter."

"Uncle Ye, don't worry, I will take good care of Ye Ping."

Hearing this, Ye Ping's father was happy: "What can I let you take care of him, he is your brother who is two years older than you. I want you to be careful not to be infected by him."

Xia Tian was taken aback, looked at Ye Ping, Ye Ping squinted at his father.

"Oh! Remember, you will never be infected by the cold virus."

Ye Ping smiled and went into the house alone.Xia Tian followed and went back to Ye Ping's room.

His room is similar to the one in his memory. The bed is 1.5 meters long, the desk is office-style, and there are books that he hasn't finished reading in the summer, and a half-old piano is placed by the window. Ping just sat there, propped his chin and looked at Xia Tian who entered the door.

He seems to be thinking about things, thinking about things that others can't explore.

After Xia Tian entered, he closed the door, sat on the chair and wanted to continue reading the book just now.

Ye Ping turned his head suddenly, opened the cover of the piano, and pressed his fingers on the keys bit by bit.He pressed with one finger, one key at a time, and the sound of the music was not coherent.

Xia Tian was still thinking about what kind of tune it was, when Ye Ping suddenly and quickly slid on the keys, and smooth and orderly syllables came out.Xia Tian looked at the back of Ye Ping's head in surprise.

He felt that he was quite shameless. He had a falling out with someone that night, and today he came to visit him from acquaintance.

He didn't know what Ye Ping was thinking, but Ye Ping was silent, ever since he entered the door, he had asked himself what he thought about.

"leaf……"

As soon as Xia Tian said a word, Ye Ping interrupted him with the sound of piano music.Xia Tian couldn't talk about it anymore.

The two were deadlocked in the room, and neither of them spoke first.

The atmosphere in the room became weird and more dignified, Xia Tian felt like he was going to be out of breath.

He was really going to catch a cold from Ye Ping.

With a slight cough, he still wanted to break the oppressive atmosphere.Ye Ping suddenly said: "When you were in the third grade of elementary school, we represented the school in the provincial competition, played four-handed and won the gold medal."

Xia Tian's vocal mouth was closed, and a low "um" was heard.

"Do you remember that song?"

"I..." Xia Tian remembered that the piece was Beethoven's "Turkish March". It was not a difficult piece, but at that time they were young and their performance was almost perfect, so it was inevitable to win an award.

If it was the previous summer, he might not have performed so well at that age, but the nine-year-old now is different from what he remembers.

Ye Ping didn't wait for Xia Tian to finish: "It's "Turkish March". I was surprised by your performance. It almost made me feel like... It doesn't seem like you. Xia Tian, ​​you have changed."

These words shocked Xia Tian, ​​he knew Ye Ping's sensitivity, but he never thought that little Ye Ping could be sensitive to this level.The nine-year-old Xia Tian has already accepted the memory for two years, and "Turkish March" is even easier to read.During the competition, Xia Tian even felt that those hands seemed to have become another pair, and that soul had also become another soul.

But he was him at that time——Xiamen, out and out.

"I don't know what's wrong with you? Ever since you were frightened by the kid in your class, you've been weird." He turned his back to Xia Tian, ​​making it difficult for people to see his expression when he said this sentence.Xia Tian was nervous, and continued to listen to people saying: "But I didn't expect that you would become so different. Why do you want me to die?"

Having said so much, I'm still talking about Feng Lu!

Xia Tian frowned for a moment: "Are you interceding with Feng Lu?"

Ye Ping didn't reply, and his fingers suddenly flew up on the keys. He was playing "Turkish March", a one-man march.Xia Tian stood up suddenly, walked to the window, and pushed open the window fiercely.Then he grabbed Ye Ping's hand: "Stop playing, just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush."

"Do you like me? Summer?"

Xia Tian was stunned, let go of his hand immediately, and took a step back without any trace.He looked into Ye Ping's eyes, and there was no hint of a joke in those eyes.Xia Tian's heart beat wildly, what did Ye Ping mean by liking?

Blinking, "What did you say?"

"I asked you if you like me?"

"What are you kidding, you and I are just, old friends. We are a brother who grew up in a school, do you understand? We haven't seen each other for so long, how do I like you? What do I like about you? I won't be precocious to be ten years old I like you before I arrive. Ye Ping, what do you think?"

Xia Tian retorted quickly like firing a cannon, regardless of whether the other party heard clearly.He saw Ye Ping smiled, closed the cover of the piano, his fingers were still moving on the cover, as if pressing the keys.

"Since you don't like me, you don't care what Feng Lu does. You probably heard from Jiang Er that he likes me. I can't let someone who treats me like this be beaten to death." He stopped, stood I got up and picked up a book from the bookcase: "I wanted to go to Guose to find you that day, but he called and said he was in trouble, I can't pretend that I don't know if I'm having fun on the other side? "

"Ye Ping, it's his business that he likes you, and he has something to do with you!?" Xia Tian came back to his senses, knowing that Ye Ping had actually explained the hospital affairs to himself, and felt a little better: "A person like him provoked you Everyone in the circle knows, why is he so at ease? Now everyone in the circle thinks he belongs to you, and if he gets into trouble in the future, he will be blamed on you. You say, this matter is all troubled by Li Xuan. , how did you clean it up?"

Ye Ping raised his eyes: "I have my own ideas. Just don't ruin my business."

"Couldn't you be bent by that kid too!?" Xia Tian frowned tightly: "How far have you guys progressed?"

Ye Ping smiled: "Why is it bent? Whether I bend or not, it has nothing to do with Feng Lu. We are young, so there is nothing wrong with playing casually. Is there such a thing in the capital?"

It's a lot, but they don't enjoy being so noisy when they play together.

Xia Tian endured the fire in his heart, and reluctantly said: "Stop playing, it's not good."

"I know. But I feel uncomfortable." Ye Ping stared straight at Xia Tian: "You said, if someone said something extraordinary to you, but turned around and forgot, then when you look at this or that person Will it be comfortable?"

Ye Ping looked at Xia Tian and always felt that Ye Ping's words meant something, but he couldn't figure it out.He wanted to answer, but Ye Ping didn't let him speak: "Stop talking, you won't know this feeling. Some things, only I know, and only I can change. Xia Tian, ​​don't ruin my business, don't touch Feng. Road, okay?"

"Just because he likes you?"

"Well, it's because he likes me."

Ye Ping replied indifferently, without any hesitation.

Xia Tian felt a little blocked, he had been with Ye Ping for most of his life and had never received such care, he was really stupid enough.But he felt unwilling in this self-deprecating mood.

"What if I like you too?"

Ye Ping was startled suddenly, squinting his eyes to look at Xia Tian.

Xia Tian wanted to laugh, wasn't he ready when he asked the question just now?Why are you so surprised now.In fact, he himself didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Ye Ping. After summing it up, he just felt unwilling.But I dare not think about it more deeply.I have been afraid of this person since I have more memories, but why are you afraid?Is it really because of the things in memory that make yourself uncomfortable?But it wasn't unbearable to be that uncomfortable.Or is it because you know that being close to this person will cause more uncomfortable things to happen than you remember?Xia Tian escaped subconsciously.

"No, Xia Tian, ​​you are different from him."

His squinted eyes turned away, and he took the book to the desk as if nothing had happened.

Xia Tian suddenly laughed out loud: "I don't know if I'm bad or not, but I'm sure I won't ignore it. Some people are afraid of fish, but I'm not afraid. If it's a big deal, I'll do it. In the end, I'll be tied up by my dad at worst." Go to the army."

He spoke easily, but Ye Ping frowned the more he listened.But he probably knew that he couldn't persuade Xia Tian, ​​so he sat in front of the desk with an absent-minded look on his face.Xia Tian reached out to pinch his face, but was slapped away.But he had no shame at all, and pinched again, Ye Ping turned his face and glared at him angrily: "It's not big or small!"

Xia Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You really think of yourself as my brother?" He pushed Ye Ping to sit down, and wrapped his arms around Ye Ping's waist, as if holding someone in his arms. "Ye Ping, there's no need for the two of us to be so at odds with each other. It's just a joke, right? Is it worth it to make trouble for an outsider?" He rested his head on Ye Ping's shoulder. he.In the end he heard Ye Ping let out a low sigh, Xia Tian knew that Ye Ping had compromised.

It is not easy to make Ye Ping compromise, almost nothing can make him compromise, except his former wife.

Thinking of this suddenly, Xia Tian felt a little uncomfortable, and the hands around Ye Ping's waist tightened a bit.
