far and near

On the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yu Ren read a book by the fire at the house of Yu Zhuang's grandparents.Yu Wenzhao looked at his granddaughter's growing eyebrows and eyes, and stroked his gray hair, "Hey, who do you look like?"

Hu Zefen said that the child would be reincarnated, inheriting the only visible nose on her father's face, and inheriting all the visible noses from her mother.

Speaking of the child's father, the old couple still had a faint hope in their hearts: Even if they divorced, Ren Songhong would come to see them at home every year around the Spring Festival.This is knowing how to be a person and how to make scenes.Yu Wenzhao thought, after all, men are different from women, and they should be more generous.

He persuaded Yu Xiaomin that marriage is no longer benevolent, and you should take your children to see Ren Songhong's parents during the holidays.Yu Xiaomin immediately straightened her back and opened her eyes wide, "What are you looking at? Her surname is Yu and not Ren. His family does not lack this granddaughter. His wife is Liao Hua, who gave birth to a son for him. There are three members of the family and they are beautiful and beautiful. , shall we stick cold ass?"

Yu Wenzhao stopped mentioning this, and turned his attention to Yu Xiaomin who was going home for the New Year's Eve dinner, "You are now the vice president anyway, it's hard to say it alone, and some jobs are hard to do." This means urging marriage, in order to aggravate The weight of words, he also asked Yu Ren, "Cai Cai, do you think so?"

Yu Tianren was very satisfied with the quiet granddaughter who didn't say a few words when she came home. She repeatedly sighed secretly about the "Eighteen Changes of the Female University". She is not as noisy as her mother, and she doesn't like to be outside all day. No.1.It's just a pity that my eyes are broken, and I still wear a pair of glasses now.

Yu Ren raised his head from the novel when he heard the question, "Grandpa, why is it hard to say that you are single? Why is it difficult to work alone? My mother has to find me a stepdad in order to continue to be the deputy dean? Then why let my mother be the deputy dean?" What about the dean? There are so many men in their hospital, wouldn't it be better to pick them up earlier?"

The child's mouth still looks like Yu Xiaomin, and the vice president's mother triumphantly peeled off the chocolate and fed her daughter affectionately, "My daughter is right."

Yu Ren hesitated, but still opened his mouth to bite the chocolate.She and Yu Xiaomin couldn't finish it after they broke up with Maosheng. They didn't say anything, but they still had embarrassment written on their faces, and the books in their hearts were turned over loudly.Yu Ren didn't refute her mother's face when she flattered her like this.

"Hey, you child is really ignorant." Yu Wenzhao thought to himself, forget it, what kind of man and woman are you talking about with a child?He continued to urge Yu Xiaomin, "There must be a man in the family, right?" The old saying made Yu Xiaomin's ears tingle, and just pulled her face down, but Yu Ren helped her, "Grandpa, why should there be a man in the family? I think there is no man to beat my mother." Is it me? Do you think our family is lively because no one has cheated on us for so many years?"

Yu Wenzhao stood up, glanced at the mother and daughter angrily, and went out to smoke.Hu Zefen secretly laughed, "You child, this mouth."

"Don't mess with her, you can say anything." Yu Xiaomin took a deep look at her daughter, "Have you read novels at grandparents' house these days?"

Yu Ren also went to see Yu Juan in the past few days. When she was a child, she was afraid of going to the back mountain. As she grew older, she became more courageous. She carried the fruit Sprite and touched Yu Juan's grave.Such a short stele, such a small grave, surrounds a girl who is gradually being forgotten.If Yu Juan were here now, she would definitely be much taller than her.One of the few good things her mother Hu Muzhi did was to insist on erecting a monument for the child, saying that she was afraid that she would not find it in the future.

Beautiful things have been done, but I don't see them coming so diligently.Under Yu Juan's small grave was buried an urn, covered with withered wormwood and inexplicable thorns.Yu Ren tried to pull out a few times, but he couldn't pull it out, so he poured Sprite and fruit for Yu Juan, and stayed with his childhood friend for a while before going home.

"I went to see Yu Juan." After Yu Ren finished speaking, Hu Zefen slapped his elbow, "Your child—this is a Chinese New Year celebration." She thought it was unlucky.

Diagonally across from Yu Kaiming's house, Yu Jin and Yu Rensheng have long separated, so they are not very willing to talk.The youngest son was really fussy, crying all day long.The louder he cries and the more tears he tears, the more proud Yu Kaiming and Hu Muzhi are, wishing that the cries would spread throughout the ten miles and eight villages.The one who can make Yu Ren think about is Yu Juan who has long been gone, and she doesn't feel bad luck.

There was a friendly conversation outside, and Yu Xiaomin frowned when she heard it, and couldn't get up when she sat where she was.Yu Ren also recognized that it was her father Ren Songhong's voice. She closed the book and stood up, just as she saw Ren Songhong and Yu Wenzhao, former son-in-law and now righteous father and son, talking politely there.

"Hey, you're busy at work, just make a phone call."

"Dad, no matter how busy you are, how can you forget to see you and Mom?"

Seeing his ex-wife's face, Ren Songhong stopped, took the tea poured by Hu Zefen politely, bent over and looked at Yu Ren with a smile.His face was red and full of fat and trembling, his head was already half empty, and his stomach was also enlarged, "Cai Cai?"

"Dad." Yu Ren greeted.

"How did you do in the final exam this time? Are you doing well at work?" If Ren Songhong was in public, his tone of voice towards his daughter would not be like that of going to the countryside and fellow villagers, and he would not be the one who would listen to what others said in private. Instead, he unconsciously went to a subordinate department to investigate, "How is the progress of the X insurance work this year? Has the X audit goal been completed? Next year will be the most critical year for the complete transformation of the city's economic structure..."

Ren Songhong didn't wait for Yu Ren's answer, and the next sentence came, "Next year is the most critical year in your life..." Yu Ren endured listening to the 2000 yuan lucky money, and finally took the red envelope and felt the thickness with his fingers.Yu Rencai smiled slightly, "Yes, Dad."

Yu Xiaomin rolled her eyes at her, which meant that she was worthless, only a few thousand yuan was just a joke, and I provided you with food, clothing, school, laundry and housework every day, but I didn't see much good looks from you.

After Ren Songhong sat down, she said she had something to do and then left. Hu Zefen and her husband were a little disappointed, and they kept giving Yu Xiaomin a polite way of telling him to stay for dinner.But Ren Songhong seemed to have something to do, and in the end he only mentioned the local specialties prepared by his former parents-in-law and left.Before leaving, he greeted Yu Ren, "Caicai, remember to find Dad if you have anything to do."

That is, don't look for him if you have nothing to do.Yu Ren said yes.Lie back on grandma's chair and count the red envelopes, "Hey, three thousand, the price has increased this year."

"I'll tell you, Caicai, this money is going to be saved for you to go to college." Yu Xiaomin, who is not letting go of the economy, is afraid that Yu Ren will have another black and red boy who will elope from somewhere, and wants to confiscate Yu Ren's money. Red envelope.

Unexpectedly, my daughter's wings became stiff, and she said in front of her grandparents, "You only give me that amount in a month, and I have been struggling to get glasses for two months."

Yu Xiaomin couldn't bear it, "I put it off? It's because you don't want to go home and see me, how do I know you're short-sighted?" She didn't say anything about Bai Maosheng, but Yu Ren beat him up and said that she treated him badly.Yu Xiaomin stretched her hand closer, "Bring it!"

"No!" Yu Ren said, "I earned it myself, and I have the final say."

Yu Xiaomin got angry, "Wolf with white eyes."

"Come on, you're just being stingy. Ren Songhong is a very fair person, and every year he visits us and gives us gifts. How about you? Even the lucky money he gave Caicai is not spared. If you are short of money, I will give it to you!" Yu Wenzhao felt that his family Wen Quxing's daughter doesn't know how to deal with people at all, and she is often worried about her promotion-where will he put his old face when someone gets him down?

"That's right, I'm stingy, and you're all generous!" On the 29th day of Yu Xiaomin's year, she had an unforeseen quarrel with her family and went out for a walk.Yu Ren hid the money in the inner pocket of the down jacket, and persuaded his grandparents, "My mother is childish, and she will be more sensible in a few years. Besides, my father didn't come to see you on purpose." She poked her grandparents, " They have an old leader who was transferred to the province, and his hometown is our Songyang." She watched the news since she was a child, and listened to this leader from the county-level and city-level TV stations to the provincial TV news, and she is still a frequent visitor.

When she opened her mouth, embarrassment appeared on the faces of her grandparents. The two elders looked at each other, one went to the kitchen, and the other went out to smoke again.

And the 3000 yuan in Yu Ren's hand is timely rain, and she has already thought about how to spend it: Xiao Yuanliu's stupid and ugly schoolbag needs to be replaced, and the pair of dusty and unsafe little cotton shoes should also be replaced by sports. Shoes, and new clothes for the children cost hundreds of dollars.In this way, 800 yuan will be gone.Of the remaining money, she will buy the complete works of several writers for a small amount, and deposit 2000 yuan for a regular deposit—she will travel abroad by herself after she goes to college.

She thought about Huai Fengnian again, forget it, and bought some sets of books for her with 200 yuan.

She thought of Maosheng again, if it was for Maosheng, what should she buy?She lacks a complete niche outfit.But she no longer lacks Yu Rensong's outfit.Yu Ren's heart went numb, and his whole face sank in an instant. The bustle at home just now was just a trivial matter in life. They were like dry and hard branches on Yu Juan's grave, and also like soft spring grass, holding Yu Ren The wound in my heart was also covered.

In other words, it wasn't a wound, it was a tomb of the girl's mind.

Yu Ren, who was in No. [-] Middle School, looked as good as before, with excellent grades. He couldn't bear to see He Tiantian show off his power, so he took part in the provincial English speech contest and won the first prize in the middle school student group.In the eyes of the parents and teachers, Yu Ren was "good" again, and he gradually felt relieved of her.

Only Huai Fengnian could tell, "Yu Ren, you're not interested in that, you're just too boring."

The boring Yu Ren who has lost his life, desperately finds his own skeleton in his grades, interpersonal evaluations, and various dazzling activities, and then secretly puts it together.If you tell others, they will not believe it: How could a teenager suffer such a deep emotional injury?They feel that if their childhood sweethearts succeed, it will be a good match from heaven, and if they fail, it is a common occurrence in the world.As a child, how can the love at that time be counted?

It's just that the child is young, her clear heart and clean eyes can only accommodate that small world, wipe it with sincerity, water it with sincerity, until the small world becomes her own big world.Maosheng used to be Yu Ren's big world.The world collapsed, and Yu Ren had to climb out of the ruins and rebuild as if nothing had happened.The onlookers clapped and applauded, Yu Ren could only hold up his 17-year-old face by gritting his teeth.Face says you can't cry, self-esteem says you don't cry, wound says you can cry occasionally.

Yu Ren actually cried secretly while looking at the ceiling in the middle of the night, and when he got home, he turned on Q and cried while watching Uno's message cycle getting longer and longer.Uosheng didn't know that Yu Ren was more crying than her.

Do you want to give Uso a call?

Yu Ren still misses Maosheng very much. He doesn't know if it is the current Maosheng or the past Maosheng, as long as it is Maosheng.She dialed Uosheng's number when there was no one else, but when the busy sound rang, Yu Ren's hand went numb again, and she hung up the phone.

She had the slightest hope for a moment: Will Uosheng call back when he sees the missed call?

After waiting for half an hour, Yu Ren sat on the teacher's chair and stared at the phone in a daze.The Uo who had waited anxiously for her no longer belonged to her.She smiled wryly, and went straight out of the house to breathe.Some people who couldn't hold back set off firecrackers in advance, and some people who were unwilling to lag behind also responded.The sound of firecrackers in Yuzhuang instantly became a symphony, surrounded by firecrackers without intervals.

Yu Ren concentrated on watching the fireworks, and wiped his tears in front of the door after being choked by the smoke from the firecrackers. Chinese New Year is so good, there is actually a reason to cry.I want to be good, she often resolves to support herself recently, yes, I have to be good.

Just after hanging up the call from Yinxiu in Baizhou, Uno stared at a text message reminding him to bite his lip, "Huh?"

"Maosheng, come and set the bowls and chopsticks." Zhao Lan called her, and ordered the senior sister who just arrived today, "Hurry up and change your clothes, why are you standing there stupidly?"

The sky of the provincial capital was soon illuminated by the fireworks. On the balcony, Zhao Lan was sandwiched between Mao Sheng and the master, one on the left and the other on the right. The family of three looked up at the magnificent scene of the sky.Wang Li smiled, Zhao Lan sighed with emotion, Mao Sheng frowned and wanted to cry.

Mao Sheng was slapped on the head by his mother, "What are you doing with a sad face? Isn't it just a few days apart during the Chinese New Year?"

There are so many things going on, even Uo, who is now in the dark and bright, can't figure it out. She looked at the master with tears in her eyes.Wang Li understood instantly, she smiled and hugged Mao Sheng in her arms, "It's okay, everything will be fine."

"Ah."

"Ah."

The mother and daughter answered in unison.
