far and near

Yuan Liu and Su Hai's long-awaited senior high school entrance examination finally came, and Yuan Huifang was unable to move. During these days, Mao Xinxia was more responsible for taking care of her old sisters, and the matter of sending her children to the exam also fell on her shoulders.But what Yuan Liu didn't expect was that Yu Renren had deliberately asked for an hour's leave early to see her off, and at the same time, there was a chartered car service from Bai Maosheng.

The number of people who sent for the exam exceeded the number of people who took the exam, "Sister Yu Ren, I'm under Xiaoliu's honor." Su Hai said.

"Why is Xiao Hai so lucky? You are our VIP today." Yu Ren forwarded a small gift to Su Hai, "Feng Nian asked me to pass it to you." Although Feng Nian rarely returned to Baizhou during the holidays in recent years, he was still in his heart. Remembering the two children, the gift she gave Su Hai was a lipstick, and what she gave Yuan Liu was a set of "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation".

Su Hai laughed happily, saying that the gift of Bad Feng Nian was interesting, knowing that my senior high school entrance examination was just a formality, so I gave it a tube of lipstick when I couldn't study anymore.Koyanagi still has to bear it, and she is looking forward to the college entrance examination just after the high school entrance examination.She tried the color beautifully in the car, "Hey, Bad Fengnian is quite understandable." Su Hai's lip color was slightly lighter, so she gave it a lively and bright grapefruit color.

"Xiao Hai, there are seven or eight sticks of lipstick in your pencil bag." Mao Xinxia looked at her daughter helplessly, and the little girl said that it was different. Hers were all cheap goods from the small commodity market. This is the first time in my life. tube brand.

"Sister Yu Ren, why didn't you come back after the holiday? If she doesn't come back, I'll go to Beijing to play with her." Su Hai asked Yu Ren.Yu Ren said that Fengnian was going to help a brother in another university compile textbooks, and she had other part-time jobs herself.

"It's not easy to have a good harvest." When Su Hai put away the lipstick in satisfaction, Yuan Liu rolled his eyes, "Xiao Hai, I reminded you to check for the exam yesterday, don't forget."

Did not forget did not forget.Su Hai fumbled for the admission ticket from the patch pocket of his skirt, not thinking that it was empty.She froze for a moment, then rummaged through the pencil case and schoolbag, but couldn't find it, "Eh? Where did I get my certificate? Where did I go? Ahaha, mom, I won't take the exam if I don't have a certificate."

"Here." Yuan Liu stuffed her ID, "It leaked when I got in the car." Yuan Liu turned and frowned at Yu Ren, "Sister, I'm too worried." Of course, my sister came to see her off on purpose, she didn't Knowing how happy she is, at the same time, her palms are still sweating—what if she doesn't pass the No. [-] Middle School?When Yuan Liu bit her lip, Yu Ren held her hand, "It's okay, Xiao Liu will just go to do her homework."

"Hey, Yu Ren, you encouraged me that way when we took the senior high school entrance examination. You said that I should finish the paper anyway, and I can take as many exams as I can, and I can't lose a point if I can do it." Uosheng was still a little proud, saying so she She performed supernormally, except for falling asleep during the math test, she struggled to paint everything else, and she scored close to [-] points in the test.

Su Hai was stunned when he heard the grade, "Ah, I didn't expect you to be a top student." Her own mother covered her face and sighed. Come on, this is the end of this child's study.She persuaded her daughter to go to a vocational high school in No. 23 Middle School to earn a degree, but was rejected by the assistant director, "It's a waste of time, and there is no such thing as a hairdressing major."

"Sister, how much did you score in the high school entrance examination?" Yuan Liu was curious about Yu Ren's grades back then.

"Your older sister Yu Ren scored No. 20 in the city with naked scores in the high school entrance examination. She scored 45 points with 30 points in physical education. Our total score back then was 685, and she scored 658 points in the test." Bai Maosheng recited Yu Ren Jiuyuan's results like a treasure, Yu Ren smiled at her in the rearview mirror, "I remember it very clearly." The palm of Yuan Liu in her hand trembled, and the little girl frowned, regretting that she could not travel through time and space to experience her sister's history .

After arriving at the examination room, Mao Xinxia asked Yuan Liu to cheer up and not to worry about her family.Her shop is closed for the past few days, and she specializes in cooking for candidates and patients.To her daughter Su Hai, she said, "Show face, don't fall asleep, Xiao Hai."

Yu Ren rubbed his left and right faces, "The exams in life are much more difficult than the high school entrance exams. We don't have a clear review outline, and we don't have the opportunity to practice repeatedly day after day, question after question, and we don't even have multiple teachers. Teaching. Looking at it this way, isn’t the high school entrance examination much easier? Xiao Liu, just do your best. Xiao Hai, don’t fall asleep.”

"Sister, what kind of exams are there in life?" Yuan Liu still remembers being sensitive and eager to learn at this juncture.

"Well, there are too many. After your high school entrance examination is over, let's count while drinking tea, let's go in." Yu Ren asked Uosheng, "What else can you say, driver?"

Uno smiled, I was responsible for the morning and evening pick-up for three days, and I will trouble Aunt Mao at noon.She and Yu Ren watched the two tall children holding hands as they entered the gate of the test center, and saw herself and Yu Ren in a daze. "Time is so fast." Uno still remembers the first time Cheng Zhongcun saw Xiao Liu, she was carried up the stairs in Uo's arms, her arms and legs were fat and short like a few pieces of lotus root.

"Are you still early?" Yu Ren said, Yin Xiaoxiao's senior high school entrance examination is still ten years away, Maosheng, take your time.There was also emotion in her eyes, and she glanced at her watch, "Yes, I'm going to work."

Yuan Liu got the standard answers on the second day after the test, and after checking the scores, he knew what to expect.She texted Yu Ren, "Sister, if I don't miss the point in my composition, I can probably get a score of 703." Their full score this year is 730, and the eighth middle school score line is 685. Yuan Liu's score is not a big problem.

"When the score comes out, my sister has a gift for you." Yu Ren said.

"Sister, can I ask for another gift?" The gifts Yuan Liu could think of might include clothes, shoes, or books, which are all necessities for her.She usually lives frugally, because now Yuan Huifang has no job, and the mother and daughter have to live off their money.

Yu Ren was in a good mood. She called and said, "Besides my gift, what do you want? I will give you everything my sister can do."

Yuan Liu said yes, then wait for the results to come out.

In fact, Yu Ren prepared many gifts for Yuan Liu, clothes, shoes and books that Yuan Liu could guess, in addition to a new mobile phone, plus a two-day excursion, and brought Yuan Huifang with him.She has been working a lot of overtime recently, and the leader mercifully allowed her to take a full weekend. However, "the phone needs to be turned on 24 hours a day, so bring a computer to prevent urgent work."

Sure enough, Yuan Liu's score calculation ability was confirmed, and she got 703 in the exam.Yuan Huifang cried happily, and Su Hai, who scored 420 points in the test, hugged Yuan Liu, "Xiao Liu, you are awesome." Yuan Liu also heard Yu Ren's eager and happy voice on the phone, and her sister said Xiao Liu, hello Great, I'm happy for you.

The gift is about to be honored, Yuan Liu said that I want to drink tea with you and listen to my sister talk about life's exams.

Yu Ren said why is this difficult?Xiaoliu, let's go out on Friday night, and Xiaohai is also there. Your sister Bai is driving, and we will go to Hangzhou for two days. There are many places to drink tea.

Yuan Huifang didn't want to go out at first, and felt that he was a burden.But Yu Ren persuaded her that the more inconvenient it is, the more happy and exciting her life is, or she will be sorry for the crime she has suffered.Maosheng, Yu Ren, Yuan Liu, Su Hai and Yuan Huifang squeezed into the small car and headed towards Hangzhou.This is the first time Yuan Liu has left Baizhou. She has lived in this land all these years. Although reading has enriched her spiritual world, the reality is much narrower. Her trajectory is only the size of a needle eye on the map of China. So little.

Yu Ren said that the place to stay is close to the scenic spot of Wenying in the Willow Waves, just across the road.As for why Hangzhou was chosen?At that time, she taught seven-year-old Yuan Liu some of Su Shi's poems about the West Lake. When the child recited "Mountains, Empty, and Rainy", she closed her eyes and said, "Sister, I seem to be able to see that scenery. I will see it later. Not for a while." Yu Ren made up his mind to take Xiao Liuduo out for a walk when he had the chance.

After seven or eight years, she was busy with her studies and dating, and missed several opportunities to take her children on vacation during the winter and summer vacations of college. Yu Ren felt that she really couldn't delay any longer.

Su Hai, who was able to go out to play, was very interested. She said that she wanted to eat the special dishes there, and Yu Ren agreed.And Yuan Liu said that he wanted to push his mother along the lake, and Yuan Huifang also agreed.Yu Ren looked at Uosheng and felt that even as a driver, her mood was obviously too low.She knew that Uno would think of Yinxiu, who was in the same city at that time, a labor reform inside a high wall, and a lake tour, and Uo would not feel better.

But Uosheng asked to be the driver by herself. After she settled down, she said that she went out for a walk at will. Yu Ren understood, and just told her not to come back too late. It was almost eleven o'clock at night.

Yuan Liu was careful, she had already found out that Usheng was unhappy, after settling down with his mother, she went to look for Yu Ren in the opposite room, just in time to see Usheng walking towards the elevator.

"Sister, this is the tea I prepared. My mother asked me to bring it to you." Yuan Liu said to Yu Ren after entering the door. The brilliance in her eyes let Yu Ren know what she was looking forward to.The elder sister who changed into her pajamas greeted her with a smile, "Come on, let's sit for a while."

Yuan Liu sat up straight, waiting for this conversation like a friend to come, but she forgot the opening remarks she had prepared.And Yu Ren didn't intend to start, so he leaned on the armrest of the sofa and looked at the nervous Yuan Liu.The little girl's dark eyes were astonishingly bright in the night, she asked if my sister would like some tea?

"Drinking tea now is afraid of insomnia at night." Yu Ren laughed, and changed his sitting position to look at Xiao Liu, the smiling face made Yuan Liu forget to speak, and the little girl turned her head to look out the window, "Well... I think Sister Bai has just left."

She came to Hangzhou for a reason, and she was afraid of coming, and she really wanted to come if she didn't come.Yu Ren's words made Yuan Liu puzzled, "Sister, coming to Hangzhou is also an exam for Sister Bai?"

"Ha, what Xiao Liu said is really interesting, and he is especially good at asking questions." Yu Ren got up and took out a big bag of snacks for Yuan Liu, "I'm afraid you and Xiao Hai will be hungry at night, you can take it back and eat later." She still opened Yuan Liu to send The tea that came was half-steeped, "Sister Bai's matter is private to her, and she can't disclose it for her. But the term "examination" is just an analogy." She said Xiao Liu, you have taken the exam many times since you were young, You adjusted to life in your new home; you slowly gained your mother's love; you didn't go to kindergarten and were a year younger than your classmates, but you have always been excellent academically; and most importantly, you held on when your mother was sick your home.At this point, my sister is ashamed of herself.

"I understand, sister. You are talking about an analogy. Life is indeed like an exam, but it is not. Because there is no unified scoring mechanism for it, and the things we have experienced are not for the purpose of getting grades. I just... in that situation, I can only Do that." Yu Ren was surprised by Yuan Liu's words, if he didn't look at the childishness on her face, and put aside her identity as a child, Yu Ren would feel that she was talking to her peers.

Seeing that Yu Ren was silent, Yuan Liu pursed his lips shyly.

"After entering the No. [-] Middle School, you will find that there are many masters. If you find any homework difficult, tell your sister in time." Yu Ren, who always knows how to catch any opportunity for conversation, subconsciously mentioned study. Yuan Liu's eyes flashed with disappointment. Nod, "I will."

The little girl poured her sister a cup of tea. Her movements were calm and smooth, and her body was covered with a halo of loneliness, which may be caused by the reflection of the light outside the window.

"Sister, I found a foreign autobiography in an Internet cafe, and it was very difficult to read. Recently, during the holidays, I just looked up a few pages in the dictionary every day." She said that the title of the book was "why be happy when you could be normal", and the female writer was as good as me. adopted.I did the same as she said, but my life lacked pages, and there were more blanks and question marks.But I agree with her words, "The missing past can be an entrance or an exit."It's a raised Braille sign that the writer says she can feel, and I can feel, too.

Yuan Liu handed the slightly cooled tea to Yu Ren, "Thank you for everything my sister has done for me. I am missing a few pages, but there are many more pages because of my sister." The little girl was actually very sad because of the pages her sister drew for her After flipping through it, she wanted to restart a new page, but she had to rack her brains to think about the opening line.She finally used this passage to face her sister who habitually cared about her studies.

"Sister, you should go to bed early, we agreed to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning." Yuan Liu stood up, and Yu Ren was still sitting opposite her—she was thinking, or rather, she passed through thinking and observed the fresh and tender soul in front of her. .The young buds have grown into fine and tough branches. Yuan Liu, who often reads and studies side by side with her in the city library, is no longer the three-year-old San'er who is less than two years old and walks along the wall while drooling.What she said was a wasteland shrouded in white mist, Yuan Liu was wandering about something.

Before sending Yuan Liu out, Yu Ren called her, "Xiao Liu, my sister found out that you are an older child, not only studying, but also telling her about anything you like. Maybe I can help you analyze and sort out some problems, such as Say, emotional."

Yuan Liu's eyes lowered, "Emotional?"

"Yes." Yu Ren helped her tidy up the bangs that fell on her eyes, "Well, is there someone you like?"

The little girl raised her eyes, "Sister, what does it mean to like someone? Have you ever liked someone?"

Yu Ren was speechless, why did he turn to himself again?She paused, "Well, I liked it. Like someone... It's the feeling of a flower blooming in my heart."

Yuan Liu looked at Yu Ren's chest, as if looking for flowers there.Although Yu Ren's lines under the silk pajamas were delicate, there was a delicate fragrance floating there.The scent may come from the flowers she has bloomed, or she may have become a bee and a butterfly and got the powder, "cough." Yu Ren reminded Yuan Liu's gaze.

The little girl turned her eyes away, "Mmm... blossoming." She knew that she didn't have any flowers in her heart, if she bent over and scraped the soil, she would be able to see a seed, "Sister, good night." Yuan Liu waved to Yu Ren.

Yu Ren stayed at the door for a while—she didn't know whether the little willow would bloom or not, but she felt that the child was showing some signs of becoming mature.
