far and near

Yuan Huifang was able to move her hands and feet. Although she still needed to use a cane, she insisted on coming out to watch the show.After the demolition, the house had a ready-made facade, but she was dissatisfied with the location, so she resold it without hesitation.Some acquaintances are right, you are at this age, you can take the money and the house to provide for the elderly, and the children are getting older, and you will be able to work soon.

"As long as I can be active, I won't stay at home and lie down for the elderly." Yuan Huifang said to Yuan Liu, "Mom plans to work until I am 78." I can't bear it, I'm afraid people will see that they are unhappy, and the children in the family are not filial."

What Yuan Huifang taught her daughter was the simplest outlook on life: live a breath and live up to yourself.Yuan Huifang's tone still started from the restaurant, and he still settled in the university town.She can't lift things with her left hand, and she tends to drop a bowl after holding it for a long time. Yuan Liu bought her some small fitness equipment and practiced at home for half a year before she got better.

Starting again, except for a little capital, everything else is zero.Yuan Huifang, mother and daughter, sat on the street and counted the heads of the people on the street under the sun at noon, "Students are on summer vacation at this point, just to see how popular they are." It's not good to rely on students to do business. Business will be deserted during the winter and summer vacations.Yuan Liu unscrewed the mineral water bottle for her mother, "Mom, I counted the noodle restaurant across the street, and it was full at noon. There is a residential area behind it, and the dormitory area of ​​Baizhou University is opposite."

"That's it." Yuan Huifang drank the water, and then took his daughter to the agency.Her education level is not high, and she doesn't discuss the details of the contract with others, mainly in order to know the rent and the landlord's information.Then go home and compare the prices on the paper, and calculate her cost account over and over again.

Yuan Liu found that since her mother was able to walk and reorganized the restaurant, her spirit became better and better.Although she was tanned after running with her for several days, it would be nice to find an opportunity to let go of the things in her heart.

Early in the morning, she came out of the vegetable market on her bicycle, with cheap fresh corn bundled on the rear seat cushion, two catties of pork ribs and other vegetables hanging on the front of the bicycle, and ten books borrowed from the municipal library stacked in the basket Book.The stomach gets full, and so does the brain.

After stepping on the bicycle and riding to the road, she heard someone calling her. Yuan Liu braked and turned around, and recognized that the person calling her was a female classmate from the next class. This girl was not like her wearing shorts and a T-shirt. The elastic, close-fitting knit dress that year-old women like to wear, the tail of her hair is deliberately rolled over her shoulders, she slowly shakes a pineapple popsicle in front of Yuan Liu, "You are Yuan Liu from Class 8, right?"

Yuan Liu couldn't call her name, so she nodded, "I recognize you." She asked, what do you want me to do?

"It's okay, it depends on whether I have identified the wrong person? I often come here for breakfast during the summer vacation, and I saw you buying vegetables from the vegetable market several times." The girl said that we will be in the same class next semester, and we will take care of you then.

"But, the class schedule didn't come out." Yuan Liu said, she took off the hat on her head, it was Yuan Huifang's floral hat with lotus leaves, and after fanning the wind, she found that the girl opposite had no intention of leaving, and instead licked the popsicle Staring at her own face, "What's wrong?" Yuan Liu asked.

"Oh, they say you are pure and cute, so I'm curious, take a look." The girl took a bite, "Do you know my name?" Forgive Yuan Liu for not knowing, she said my name is Zhao Jiaqi, from Class Nine, "Oh, I don't think you are pure and cute, you look like an adult." Zhao Jiaqi handed her mobile phone before throwing down these words, "Come on, save your phone number."

Yuan Liu took the phone and pressed his own number.Zhao Jiaqi said that I will ask you out to play games later, what are you playing?Before Yuan Liu answered, Zhao Jiaqi said that it didn't matter what she was playing.

No. No. [-] middle school students are not so vulgar. When Yuan Liu saw this classmate at school, she just thought, "How did she get into No. [-] middle school?" Most of the people who don't go to make up classes in summer, don't participate in summer camps, or go abroad to play are mostly ordinary people. Yuan Liu also Count one.Ordinary Zhao Jiaqi glanced at the books in Yuan Liu's car basket before leaving, ""The Boleyn Family Legacy" is quite good at reading, I suggest you read "Another Boleyn Girl"."

Yuan Liu pulled out the book she was talking about from below, and Zhao Jiaqi showed a girlish smile, "Not bad." Yuan Liu felt that she was a little baffled, and only thought this was an encounter before class.

In the second half of July, Su Hai's online love turned into an offline attempt. The new apprentice in her mother's shop was interested in the big girl. He received 600 yuan a month as an apprentice's salary, and invited Su Hai to watch movies or play every day. Drink milk tea.Su Hai said that the young man looked good, he didn't have much hair on his stomach, and his face was clean, mainly because he didn't talk much and was willing to listen to me.She asked the young man to listen to what she had to say for half an hour after get off work at night, and there were only two left in the three-person night running team.The day before yesterday, Feng Nian happily released pigeons again, "Sister Song is here."

So Yuan Liu was left alone.The little girl delivered the soup to Yu Ren, then went to KFC with her schoolbag on her back, and read the novel she borrowed with the air conditioner that came for nothing.After reading two pages, she raised her head and remembered that her sister's eyes were a little different today. Yu Ren said, "Little Liu, it's hard work," and Yuan Liu said, "It's not hard work, it's just by the way." She still smiled when she saw her sister, but she didn't dare to look any further. , afraid of being labeled as "hot headed".

Girls like adults who tend to fall into self-pity and self-pity, but Yuan Liu does not, she is busy.Housework and learning to read are enough to fill her spare time, as if she can quickly roll through the time plank road and reach the other side of adulthood quickly.If there is a gap, then read more books and do more questions—Yuan Liu's math performance is not particularly good, and he has to work very hard to be in the top three in the class.If you are not careful, you will drop 120 points.

But still miss her.Yuan Liu ate the watermelon sent by Yu Ren a few days ago, but it happened that she didn't meet her sister when she went shopping in the supermarket, and felt annoyed for a while.Sending soup to meet and just say a few words without pain or itching, "Going for a run tonight?"

Opposite the KFC is the City Hall Square, where people who get off work often use the side door, and Yu Ren will be one of them. Yuan Liu is like an idiot, sitting here for more than ten days, looking at the side door from 10:30 in the evening, Waiting for Yu Ren to come out and get on the car before riding home.

These still can't alleviate her miss.Yuan Liu was sitting in front of the desk in a daze, with books and toys Yu Ren gave her since she was a child, in front of her eyes, trying to extract some signals from the old times.

The signal has always been obvious, "My sister hopes that you will grow up healthy and happy."

The books marked with Arabic numerals showed how many times she had read them.I used to foolishly thought, "It would be great if I could memorize it, so that I would have as much knowledge as my sister." After reading many books, she could memorize certain chapters very quickly, but she was still far behind Yu Ren. far away.

So far that she boldly and aggressively practiced Yu Ren's tolerance and love as "almost falling in love", her sister's words made Yuan Liu feel ugly, and she even thought of the article "Painted Skin" in Liaozhai Zhiyi, where Pupi painted with colored pens , Forcibly transform a child who is about to be a sophomore in high school into a sensible adult who takes care of his lover.In fact, small tricks have long been seen through by adults.When Yuan Liu is alone, she always feels sad when she looks at her "little adult" painted skin.

It is pitiful to rely on people to "make do with" and "accommodate" to maintain a big dream of spring and autumn. Yuan Liu doesn't like to be pitied by others.When she was young, she and Su Hai went to Wang Xiaoli's house in the village in the city to play with the big yellow dog. Wang Xiaoli's wife liked her very much, so she used Yuan Liu's excellence to teach her son Wang Qi, "Look how pitiful little Liu is, a child whose parents don't want him to learn The grades are still so good. Look at you, I give you food, drink and clothes all day long, and I haven’t studied hard.” Yuan Liu immediately got up and went home, and since then she was not very willing to go out to play.

There are colorful balloon castles piled up at the door of other children's rooms. Yuan Liu only has a small bed and a cabinet, but she never feels that she is so pitiful, because she has a sister that no one else has.Such a smart, gentle, knowledgeable and talented sister, she drew the castle scenery in Yuan Liu's heart, so Yuan Liu felt rich and healthy.

Until she started to know that there can be love among girls in this world, her children's castle turned into an endless sea of ​​blue waves, and a tide-player named "Yu Ren" ushered in.

Yu Ren can beat the waves and hit the water, and can touch the water lightly, but Yuan Liu didn't expect that she was accommodating herself. Her words and attitude let Yuan Liu see clearly the self in the water, a self who doesn't understand love and is not worthy of love.

The little girl looked at the side door in the distance for a long time, and Yu Ren walked out at 45:12.She is wearing black khaki pants today, her usual leather bag is slung over her shoulder, she will turn her head to look at the license plate number when hailing a taxi, and she is used to sitting in the outer seat of the rear seat... My sister is home, Yuan Liu is tense Her thoughts collapsed at this moment, she looked down at the page number, and only turned to page No.[-].

Such a rhythm of life was broken by Zhao Jiaqi's phone call. The future classmate who came to recognize the number the next day asked her where did she see "The Boleyn Family Legacy"?

Yuan Liu said on page No.12, the girl said that you were tied with Shakespeare.The humor was so humorous that Yuan Liu laughed out loud, and her previous guard automatically peeled off. She said Zhao Jiaqi, you don't look like a high school student.

"Really? Our homeroom teacher also said that I don't look like me. I'm tired of wearing school uniform all day long. I changed into my mother's picture during the holidays." Zhao Jiaqi said that her mother is from Baizhou University. "She's not a teacher, she's an administrator. "If you want to read more books, I will take you to the library next time.

The next day, Yuan Liu rode a bicycle and asked Zhao Jiaqi to meet in front of Baizhou University. The girl didn't wear her mother's clothes today, and sat directly behind Yuan Liu's car in a suspender skirt. After she sat firmly, she immediately wrapped her hands around Yuan Liu's waist .At that moment Yuan Liu realized that she was only used to Yu Ren's actions.

Embarrassed, Yuan Liu said it was a little itchy.Zhao Jiaqi stopped, "Fortunately, your car seat has a handle." Zhao Jiaqi still likes to immerse herself in her own rhythm when speaking, "You are very popular in our class. There are a few boys who want to chase you."

Yuan Liu said, "Oh, I don't know."

"Of course you don't know. You don't take care of people all the time. You look busier than the boss of a listed company, and you don't live on campus." Zhao Jiaqi showed Yuan Liu the way. When the two children arrived at the library, she took the staff card and told the front desk After saying a word, Yuan Liu was successfully brought into the university library.Yuan Liu, who is like Grandma Liu, read the books for two hours before finding Zhao Jiaqi in a corner of a bookshelf. It seems to be condemning these college students who only brush the questions and endorse the memorization instead of reading.

"Which one do you want to borrow?" she asked Yuan Liu.

That's what Yuan Liu said, "The Galactic Empire Trilogy".Zhao Jiaqi said no problem, just don't get it dirty and wet, and finish it within a month, and she will return it together next time.After borrowing the book, Yuan Liu carried Zhao Jiaqi again, reminding her again that she was a little itchy.

Zhao Jiaqi withdrew her hands, and murmured, "You are so old-fashioned." If it weren't for your top three grades in the liberal arts class, I wouldn't stop you on the road, and if you didn't like Asimov, I wouldn't sit with you car...

Yuan Liu rode his bicycle with a smile, "Then invite you to eat skewers outside our community."

"My mother won't let me eat it, and grilled lobster and fish will not let me touch it." Zhao Jiaqi said, "I want extra spicy, put more cumin."

"But your mother won't let you eat it." Yuan Liu said.

"I just want to eat if you don't let me." Zhao Jiaqi asked, Yuan Liu, I think you are quite normal, why are you acting alone?

Yuan Liu frowned, "What do you mean...normal? I have something to do at home, so it's not convenient for me to live on campus."

Shopping for food, right?Zhao Jiaqi said, no wonder I think you look like an adult, full of fireworks and hard work.

Yuan Liu and her future classmates rode to the gate of their community, and the girl in a suspender skirt jumped out of the car and went straight to the skewer stand. The two of them rolled twenty skewers.Yuan Liu sucked his breath and said that your book is too expensive.Zhao Jiaqi smiled, "Expensive? Boss, another ten skewers of pork belly."

This is a classmate with a very rebellious consciousness. When the two girls were chatting happily, Yuan Liu's cell phone vibrated, and she thought that the advertisement was not serious.It wasn't until she habitually turned on her phone after eating that she saw that it was Yu Ren's message: Xiao Liu, my sister took a few days off today to travel.I just came to your house and you were away, the set of Asimov's Galactic Empire trilogy is on your desk, happy reading.

She just mentioned, "There are not enough Asimov books in the city library." My sister sent the whole set over, no wonder she seemed to have something to say last night.I missed it again, and I won't see her for a few days.

Yuan Liu's eyes were wet with tears, Zhao Jiaqi saw her sullen look, "Yo, you... you are not single?"

"I'm single, not in a relationship." Yuan Liu read the text message several times. The time was half an hour ago, and Yu Ren had just left not long ago. Maybe when she left the community, she saw Yuan Liu and her classmates happily masturbating.

Yuan Liu wiped her sleeves with her forehead, and wiped away her tears. She said it's okay, we'll stop here today, thank you for your book.

Zhao Jiaqi grabbed Yuan Liu's car faucet, "You take me home."

Yuan Liu was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

"Taking your car feels like falling in love." Zhao Jiaqi said "haha", "Hurry up, Yuan Liu, send the Buddha to the west. I have already spent all my pocket money this month, so I can't afford a taxi."

Yuan Liu looked at the Buddha she didn't want to give away, and thought of the Buddha she hadn't had time to meet and send away, so she lowered her mouth helplessly, "Sit down."
