far and near

It was already 05:30 after Uo got off work, which was long past the time for kindergarten to leave school.She enrolled Xiaoxiao in a private kindergarten near the theater troupe for the convenience of picking up and dropping off the children.After thanking the teacher a thousand times, she stuffed Xiao Xiao into the car, "Let's go eat grilled fish today, sister Yu Ren treats you."

I have lived with Uno for nearly half a year, and my little personality is much more cheerful than before. After supplementing with nutrition, my hair began to turn black and oily, which looks like Yinxiu's eyes with more curling eyelashes, "Okay—— "The child dragged on for a long time, and then obediently drank the milk stuffed by Uosheng.

Yu Ren said that it was rare to not have to work overtime today. After more than two months of running around for the demolition, he broke his legs and frayed his mouth, and finally entered the signing stage of each household.Today they made an appointment to meet at the back gate of Baizhou University of Technology, which is close to Yu Ren’s unit, has more food options, and more convenient parking—there is an open space in front of Yuan Huifang’s house, so you don’t have to worry about being caught. fine.

Uosheng and Yuan Huifang parked the car after saying hello. Just as he was about to leave with Xiao Xiao in his arms, Uosheng was attracted by Yuan Liu in the restaurant. The little girl wearing an apron and wiping the table was looking at her with bright eyes.Uno waved to her, "Let's go."

Yuan Liu's expression was slightly taken aback, and then he also raised the corner of his mouth and waved his hand.What Uno didn't see was that after she left, the little girl's expression was as dark as soy sauce again.

Ever since he talked about looking for a chain of evidence, Yuan Liu has been eyeing Uosheng.Su Hai was also curious, and asked Yuan Liu twice, but was prevaricated by her "having no time to think about it".Yuan Liu quietly hid himself, and only looked at his guesses repeatedly when no one was around.

She wanted to go to the Q numbers of Yu Ren and Uosheng, and added them respectively.It's a pity that I didn't see anything from the space of the two, and I didn't even find any clues about the interaction between the two.Every time Usheng came to his restaurant, Yuan Liu would pay attention to her clothes, hairstyle and expression. Today, Usheng wore a light blue denim suit, and his hair was randomly scratched behind the ears with hairspray, which was not the same as her usual Consistent.The main reason is that she still has Xiao Xiao with her. It is said that this child is her cousin, and she can be regarded as a small light bulb at the age of being able to speak and listen.Yuan Liuyue realized that Mao Sheng and Yu Ren's sister were not related by "that leg".

There is not much information from Yu Ren, she has to go to work at least five to six days a week.On weekends, I sometimes take myself to other places for dental festivals, or to check for gaps and make up for my own studies.Yuan Liu even took advantage of the opportunity to ask questions in the evening to contact Yu Ren at nine o'clock, ten o'clock, and 10:30. "Are you at home?"

As long as Yu Ren didn't take a shower, she would answer Yuan Liu's problems within a few minutes.From this, Yuan Liu deduced that Yu Ren's sister would not "have an affair" with Maosheng at night.

The remaining question is why Yu Ren was crying in Uosheng's arms?What could hurt her so much?

Usually Yu Ren is concerned about her life and study, the topics between them are mostly about what books they have read and how they feel.In addition, Yuan Liu seemed to be placed by Yu Ren in a space surrounded by smooth walls, and it was difficult for her to climb out to see what the crying Yu Ren was like.

She reads more than a dozen pages of books given by Yu Ren before going to bed recently. There is a series of short stories by Maupassant, one of which is called "Walking". The hero describes his life as gloomy, dull, flat and empty.But he was unlucky, because after the thick veil was lifted, the man saw his past, present, and future poverty as far as the eye can see and nothing.Yuan Liu's thick curtain is also Yu Ren.

Children who grew up in urban villages know what poverty is from knowing Suhai.Su Hai has endless snacks, and she can let her mother buy all kinds of beautiful or weird clothes according to her own wishes. She only goes to kindergarten and goes home to play. What Yuan Liu envies most is that she is innocent when she sits on the back seat of Mao Xinxia's bicycle. Romantic look.

Yuan Liu knew that she couldn't be innocent since she was a child. As long as she could remember, she knew that she was "adopted". In order to avoid being scolded and beaten, she could not make demands. Yuan Huifang's principle of raising her since she was a child was, "We You can't compare with others, your mother and I are only capable of this."

In addition, she can't act like a baby.Yuan Huifang was not as close and gentle to children as Mao Xinxia was. When she entered this house, Yuan Huifang and Yuan Huifang lived in the same room. Later, Liu Maosong scolded her a few times, and Yuan Liu slept alone in the small room.There are tenants next door, quarreling and crying in the middle of the night is common, and no one really cares about whether she is afraid of her during thunder and lightning.Yuan Liu has been treated like a half-adult since she was a child. Adults can't act like a baby, they have to take responsibility for themselves.Adults have to calm down in a poor life and get used to everything.

Only Yu Ren is also her window, and she looks like a child in front of Yu Ren.When Yu Ren first came to the village in the city to teach her, Yuan Liu wrote a wrong word in front of her. She was so frightened that she held back tears while wiping with an eraser. After rubbing the paper, her little hands were still shaking.And at that time she didn't know what she was afraid of.Yu Ren hugged her in his arms and said that Xiao Liu was fine, if it was wrong, we will correct it, isn't it just a typo?My sister will also make mistakes.When Yuan Liu was still crying, Yu Ren frowned. She looked into the child's eyes, "Are you afraid that I will be angry if you don't do well? I'm not angry, I like Xiao Liu so much."

My sister won't ignore you just because of Xiao Liu's typo, my sister will always come.It was Yu Ren's words that made Yuan Liu stop crying.

When Yu Ren, who was like a life-saving straw, was held tightly by Yuan Liu, it was Yu Ren who taught her to relax and calmly face what she had.Even that little "possession" is almost all of her.

It was also because of Yu Ren that Yuan Liu understood that he could have a temper.This precious upbringing saved her from being bullied when she was in Yu Zhuang.Yu Ren's enlightenment from a young age made Yuan Liu an excellent student at school. Confidence filled Yuan Liu's heart little by little from the outside world, and the little inner embryo became solid from dazed and fearful.

Yuan Liu also grew from half an adult to more than half an adult.She heard Mao Xinxia and Yuan Huifang talk about themselves, "Xiao Liu is really not an easy child, he can support you, sister Huifang." Supporting mother's back is not as simple as doing housework. Yuan Liu acted on instinct, knowing that Liu Maosong bullied Yuan Huifang when To stand up, Yuan Huifang needs to help her start a restaurant, and she has to show her enviable academic transcripts in exchange for a sentence from the neighbors in the village in the city, "Look at Yuan Liu, she is still adopted. My child is so filial to his mother and studies so well."

The fact of "adoption" has changed from an indelible label on Yuan Liu to a concession condition for her praise.Yuan Liu was somewhat proud of this, but she always felt an indescribable sadness lingering in her heart.Her heart has grown into a half-dark and half-clear world. The dark side is like the original sin she was born with, her unspeakable shame, and the loneliness that no one can tell.On the sunny side is the warmth of the surroundings.This kind of warmth, including what she received continuously from Yu Ren, made her blame herself: Isn't she too greedy?

Yuan Liu felt very thirsty and hungry, and knew that the lack of that void needed to be filled.The way she went out to search was carefully observing and probing, just like a child crawling all over the ground, raising her clear eyes and pointing at something, but was regarded as cute curiosity by adults.

After wiping the two tables, three guests came to the restaurant. The leader was Wang Xiaoli, an old neighbor from the village in the city. He asked Yuan Huifang what dishes he had today, and they were freshly fried.Then he asked Yuan Liu, "Xiao Liu, get six bottles of beer for uncle, and I want ice."

"Uncle, are you all open?" Yuan Liu quickly entered the role, and after receiving an affirmative answer, she grabbed three bottles of beer in one hand, opened them all, and then took the cup.This is what Yuan Huifang taught, "When a guest asks for wine, don't be in a hurry to get the glass. If you open it first, it's hard for him to change his mind, and then don't be in a hurry to get the glass again." This is the business savvy that her mother can teach her.

Serving another plate of dishes, Yuan Liu cleared two more tables.After 07:30 in the evening, the restaurant business began to slow down, and the tension of turning tables was less.Yuan Liu sat on the innermost table and began to do the math problems for the senior high school entrance examination.After Yu Ren reminded him not to relax last time, Yuan Liu was more and more eager to find time.After Yuan Huifang went to bed at night, she was still studying in the house, and her bedtime was postponed from 12:30 to [-]:[-].

Yuan Liu is indeed smart, but not as smart as Yu Ren. Yu Ren said that self-study is okay in some places.But the efficiency of her self-study is a bit slow, and many things need to be instructed by others to understand.When she bowed her head to do the questions, she turned a deaf ear to the chatter between the guest and her mother about the demolition contract.After the adults talked about a small climax, the store suddenly quieted down, Yuan Liu didn't hear it, and he didn't know that he had become a new topic—Wang Xiaoli pointed to Yuan Liu who was doing the question and said to the other two customers, "This little girl, I will definitely be admitted to a prestigious university in the future.”

Yuan Huifang responded in a simple and modest way, "There are still four years left, how do I know if it will work?"

After finishing a chapter, Yuan Liu raised her head and caught a glimpse of Yuan Huifang struggling to hug the plastic basket full of dishes. She hurriedly put down her pen, "Mom, I'll do this." Looking up at the clock, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and all the guests had left. But Bai Maosheng's car was still parked at the door, Su Hai and Mao Xinxia also came to say hello and go home, but Yu Ren and the others did not come back.

Yuan Liu put the things back into the pool, and urged Yuan Huifang to go back and apply medicine to rest, "I'll just pack it up again," Yuan Liu said.

She quickly cleaned up the store again, but did not close the door, but continued to sit in the store while studying and waiting.At this moment, knowledge points are not so easy to get into her mind, because she is thinking about Yu Ren.

At ten o'clock, Yu Ren and Maosheng came from afar, Maosheng held Xiaoxiao who was covered with clothes and fell asleep, she looked sideways at Yu Ren, the two talked and laughed, Yu Ren stretched out his hand gently Hit Maosheng.This kind of intimacy is different from Yuan Liu and Yu Ren, and most of the grown-ups who saw it were a little envious for a moment - when she was alone with Yu Ren, besides dependence and trust, there was also tangible and intangible respect.Respect is order, and respect is also a wall that prevents Yuan Liu from climbing.

Under the halo of respect, Yuan Liu could only squint and look at Yu Ren from a distance, she couldn't make jokes like Uno and looked at Yu Ren with a smile.

"Hey, Xiao Liu hasn't closed yet?" Seeing the lights in the store, Yu Ren took out a takeaway bag from behind and handed it to Yuan Liu, "Fortunately Uosheng insisted on buying one, Xiao Hai couldn't touch it, but Xiao Liu can eat some .”

"I was busy just now, and I was about to go upstairs to rest." Yuan Liu said, she thanked Maosheng, and then stood on the steps and looked at Yu Ren intently.

For some reason, Yu Ren, who always wears commuter pants, shirts, woolen sweaters and windbreakers, makes Yuan Liu have a new understanding every time. On the back of the neck, the curved eyebrows on Yu Ren's glasses and the deep and clear eyes on the bridge of the nose are well matched and have an outstanding temperament.The Chinese teacher said, "There is a poetic spirit in the stomach." When Yuan Liu heard this sentence, he felt that it was tailor-made for Yu Ren.

Maosheng said Yu Ren, the food has been delivered, I will take you home, or your mother will say me again.

Yu Ren turned around, his eyes were still a little angry, "Maosheng, did I misunderstand you? I was afraid that my mother would tell you that you sent me off? I don't have any place in your heart, do I?"

After hearing this, Yuan Liu felt numbness all over his body for the first time, and that numbness led to a destination: the heart.How much did she want Yu Ren to speak to herself in such a tone?Too bad she wasn't good enough.

Because Yu Ren reached out and touched her head, "Don't stay up late at night."

Yuan Liu could only nod his head, responding to Yu Ren's affection with a clever and clever gesture.She didn't want to just be cute, but this appearance had formed a subconscious reaction.

"Xiao Liu, my sister is home, close the door soon." The first meeting between Yu Ren and Yuan Liu today ended within 1 minute.Yuan Liu stood in front of the shop to see her into the car, and when she walked past the driver's seat, she reached out and patted Uosheng's protruding head, "I don't want to sit in the co-pilot, I want to accompany Xiaoxiao in the back seat."

Sister Bai should let the crying Yu Ren come out slowly.Yuan Liu waved to the two people in the car, and under the light of the car lights, her figure was covered with fringe-like light.She was so lonely, looking at the figure in the car that was getting farther and farther away on the street that had faded from the noise.

Suddenly, the car stopped, Yu Ren opened the car door and gestured "go back" to Yuan Liu.Yuan Liu smiled, and then obediently went back to the store and closed the door. From the gap, the car started again after she closed the door.

Yu Ren pressed his temples in the car, "This kid seems to have grown up, he looks very easy-going, and there is always something in his eyes that I can't understand."

"Isn't it dating?" Uosuke asked.

"Nonsense, Xiaoliu is only thirteen years younger than the children of the same class." Yu Ren immediately denied this guess, besides, she is busy helping the store all day long, so how can she have time to fall in love?

"That's not necessarily the case. It didn't take me long to learn opera and go to school every day." Uosheng said that they talked a lot today, because they were waiting for a seat, and they didn't eat grilled fish until almost seven o'clock.After eating, I went for a walk to digest my food and returned after a long time.Yu Ren said that there was no war on the western front, and that the great transformation of the villages in the city was progressing steadily, and even Aunt Yuan signed the contract.

Uosheng asked who is the dean of your family?What are you muttering about me lately?

Yu Ren laughed out loud, "She suspects that neither of us can do it, but she seems very happy that I didn't go out to open a room."

But it was Qi Yiguo that Uosheng would never ask. Last time Yu Ren cried... as if nothing had happened.Uosheng drove for a while and got on the main road, while Yu Ren stood by the window and watched the scenery outside.

"Usheng, now I live in Baizhou every day, but it has become too fast, and sometimes I feel strange." Yu Ren said behind Usheng.

"And people are also like." Uosheng sang, "It is difficult to communicate with each other close by, and full of melancholy when you are empty." Sometimes it is difficult to communicate with people and places, because they are all changing, not familiar enough, and have no deep feelings.Look at the reinforced concrete, isn't it all the same mold?

Yu Ren laughed, "Maosheng, sometimes I have to admire it. It's really the right time to sing the opera." She smacked the libretto in "Chasing Fish" again, for no reason, thinking of Yuan Liu's figure under the lamp tonight , There seems to be "melancholy" in this child's eyes that she can't understand.
