far and near

Military training will begin in late August. Yu Ren, who has just returned from summer vacation, has calculated the time: spend five days with grandparents, and tutor Xiao Liu ten times at home... She also prioritized the time to spend with Xiao Qi, but how to explain to Yu Xiaomin how to return home as soon as possible? School becomes a problem.

Yu Xiaomin worried about her daughter first, saying that she asked Xiao Qi if he was busy in July.Xiao Qi said that there is still time, especially on weekends, "She promised me to watch you pass the TOEFL test during the summer vacation, and you will stay in Shanghai to give me a training class to prepare for the test."

"But I don't plan to study abroad, what TOEFL test?" Yu Ren didn't want to read this stuff, and was so happy that she could go back to Shanghai earlier, but she immediately realized a little bit of displeasure after the fun, "Besides...my own study Why do you want Xiao Qi to come and watch?" Yu Ren didn't think that Xiao Qi should be involved in his own business.

Yu Xiaomin said that if you don't go out, you have to take a spare exam, don't think that you can easily live in college.What if you can't find a job with your broken major?Don't you want to study abroad and change your major?Especially Xiao Qi said that she has rich experience in TOEFL and can tutor you.In Yu Xiaomin's heart, Qi Yiguo is a high-quality daughter and a growth idol, and she wished that Yu Ren could learn more from her.

"I passed by Denglong High School, a cram school. Your classmate is called Huai Fengnian, right? Seeing that banner, she's ranked in the top ten in the province. Now she's guaranteed to enter Peking University." Yu Xiaomin complained again that Yu Ren had no sense of competition.As long as you don't go to Qingbei, your daughter is destined to send a lot of other people's children.

Feeling guilty about taking advantage of himself, Yu Ren stopped talking back, and after listening to Yu Xiaomin's training, he put forward a condition: instead of going to the training class, she has to study by herself. "Let my classmates know how embarrassing it is for me to go to the training class?"

Yu Xiaomin thought about it and agreed, and gave her daughter an extra 5000 yuan for living expenses, "I told Xiao Qi that if your dormitory doesn't have air-conditioning, go live with her. You need to have a good eye for living in a house, do housework actively, and pay less rent. You can’t let people suffer.”

Yu Ren felt that God was sorry to see her?In the past, I couldn't even get a chance to make a phone call with Uno, but now my mother is waving the money to drive her to his girlfriend's house.She looked at Yu Xiaomin in disbelief, "This... this is what you asked for."

"What did I ask for? I wanted to create learning conditions for you. Xiao Qi is so good at English and has a Ph.D. Where can I find such a tutor." However, Yu Xiaomin also reminded Yu Ren, "Xiao Qi has recently fallen in love. If people go out on a date, don't be a light bulb."

Yu Ren, who was green to the forehead, asked Xiao Qi who to talk to?

"Just what you saw at the last meal, the son of Lao Zhou of the Second People's Hospital, said that the two of them have communicated pretty well since then." Yu Xiaomin heard the good news from his old sister, Lao He, a good-faced Lao He He also said, "That is to say, my Guoguo's skin condition was not very good that day. If this is normal..." After leaving half a sentence, she showed pride on her face, and Yu Xiaomin added, "If this is the usual state of plain makeup, I will not know later How many boys did you follow?"

"What are you talking about?" Yu Ren never heard Xiao Qi mention that blind date again, and she trusted Xiao Qi's operation of "come one to fool the other".

"How do I know this?" Yu Xiaomin only confided the truth beyond flattery when she said this, "Old He is really a little... this time his vision is low. The boy only has a bachelor's degree, and Xiao Qi has a doctor's degree. The gap in education is a bit big. She shouldn't be in such a hurry."

She didn't notice that Yu Ren's green face had already rushed from his forehead to his face. After turning back to his room, Yu Ren picked up his mobile phone and wanted to ask Xiao Qi, "You and that man have communicated a lot lately?" The text message was written and then deleted—" "Trust" and "space" are symbiotic topics that are mutually premised. Without trust, there will be no space.And there is no real trust if there is no space. At most, it is called "naked-face relative and exchange of information".In Yu Ren's understanding, trust and space are the symbiotic tacit understanding of two dancers, and the forward and backward rotation pays attention to some artistic sense.

In arranging her TOEFL study with her mother, no matter whether Xiao Qi is out of consideration for her future, or because she can't wait to push the boat because of love, Yu Ren feels that Qi Yiguo, who specializes in spine and nerves, has little space. feel.

The greenness on his face finally receded. Yu Ren sat at the desk and read the fourth volume of "Mao Xuan". When Yu Xiaomin brought her grapes, he glanced at the content and touched his daughter's forehead with pity, "Why do you love me again?" Look at these."

After that, she sat on Yu Ren's bed again, and seemed to have something to say to her daughter.This kind of mother-daughter tension is not uncommon after Yu Ren and Maosheng separated in the provincial capital, but today Yu Xiaomin is a little less domineering, with a discussing smile on his face, Yu Ren put down the book and looked at her, "Mom? You Tell me something?"

Yu Xiaomin said that after her former party secretary father Yu Wenzhao retired, he wanted to contract an additional ten acres of tea gardens, but he didn't have enough money, so he supported [-] to [-] yuan. "You can't let him go to Ren Songhong to borrow money, right?" Just as Yu Ren felt ashamed to go to the tutoring class, Yu Xiaomin's father took care of his ex-son-in-law to borrow money even more clearly.

"Well, my grandparents and I have been to tea gardens a few times, and they are very motivated. I also think that the young people in the village can't grow tea trees." Yu Ren said that the main problem is the stability of the market. Grandpa still relies on acquaintances for his tea. The tea shop sells it as a consignment, but it is not in my own hands.

"Yo, you still understand this?" Yu Xiaomin felt that her daughter's words were getting more and more like Ren Songhong's.

Yu Ren said that every time she transfers from Songyang County, as long as she is not in a hurry, she will go to the surrounding tea shops to have a look. "After asking around for expensive ones, if you think you don't want to buy them, you are ready to leave, and the shop owner will bring out Yuzhuang's special products. Tea is here to attract customers." We always say "Gang Ju Mu Zhang" when we do things, what is the basis for grandpa's expansion of the contract?What are the estimated difficulties after the expansion?How did he prepare for this? "The relationship between supply and demand is the keystone. Mom, I suggest you talk to grandpa, don't waste money randomly."

The words made Yu Xiaomin's mouth open, and then she forgot to ask if Yu Ren had any male suitors. Instead, she stood up and slapped her daughter's forehead, "Where did you learn it? That's the only mouth." Her eyes But Li smiled gratifiedly, "Look, look, liberal arts student, I'll call grandpa to talk about it."

When she walked to the door, she remembered that she didn't ask. She turned her head and saw Yu Ren's shallow and warm smile. Yu Xiaomin felt that this moment was strange and moved, just like seeing the newborn Yu Ren for the first time in the delivery room.They were supposed to be a close mother and daughter. For many years, there has never been such an unspoken, short-lived but profound joy.Yu Xiaomin pursed her lips, "Mom will make you hot and sour steak later."

Is the child's love for her an excellent report card, a high scholarship, or the clothes and cosmetics she bought specially during the holidays, or her meekness and obedience?Yeah?Yu Xiaomin felt a little suspicious at this moment.

After all, Yu Ren never asked about Qi Yiguo's "communication", and rushed back to Shanghai on July 21.Xiao Qi was going to pick her up, but Yu Ren said that the subway is very convenient for him, and he has the key, so there is no need for Xiao Qi to ask for leave from the hospital.

In front of Xiaoqi's house alone, the Swedish Christina next door was about to go out. Seeing Yu Ren, she smiled and said "Hi". After Yu Ren said hello, she hesitated and asked, "You are from Ego. Classmate?" Xiao Qi's English name didn't take Diana Georgina or something like that, but took a homonym of his Chinese name, and called him an ego.

Yu Ren was stunned for a second, and said that I was her sister.

There was a sly look in Christina's eyes, "Wow, sister." Her tone was not as stable as the Nordic people, but a bit exaggerated.

That look caught Yu Ren's attention, as if she had lied.What made Yu Ren think even more was that maybe Qi Yiguo had not only her younger sister here, but also some older sisters.

After entering the house, Yu Ren found that Qi Yiguo's home had changed a bit.The empty living room was carpeted and a camp bed leaned against the wall.In the bedroom, Qi Yiguo's desk is facing several English materials.Yu Ren approached and flipped through a few pages, and found that except for a TOEFL listening material that was full of notes, the others were almost empty and [-]% new.Just like this, how dare she promise Yu Xiaomin that she can tutor herself?

When taking a bath, Yu Ren also found the bathroom slippers and special bath towel that Xiao Qi had prepared for her, and she even prepared the shower gel that she used to smell.After drying his hair, Yu Ren lay down in the air-conditioned bedroom and re-examined the details of Qi Yiguo's life. He suddenly found a small medicine bottle under the side corner of the bookcase, and curiously picked it up to see that it was estrizolam.Half of the medicine should be taken, and the curative effect above is to treat insomnia and sedation.

No wonder the acne on her face didn't heal.After putting down the medicine bottle, Yu Ren's gaze was attracted by the photo frame between the two professional books, and her intuition told her that this was a chapter from Qi Yiguo's past. Chuiran, Qi Yiguo stood behind the girl and put his arms around her waist, the corners of their mouths smiled in the same way, and their eyes were filled with similar brilliance.At that time, Xiao Qi looked young, and his hair hadn't been permed into the curly hair he is now.The girl in front of her looks older and should be her English teacher.

There is a beautiful line of words below the photo: Yiguo and Cao Yun in Shipu, July 2002.

Looking carefully at the seaside scene, it turned out that there was Banbian Mountain, which she had visited not long ago.Yu Ren stuffed the photo frame back into place, and a corner of his heart made a sound of landslide.She sat back on the bed and started flipping through the English vocabulary book. She memorized three pages with difficulty and found that the vocabulary could not enter the logical classification in her mind.

Two questions have arisen in Yu Ren's mind: Will Qi Yiguo compare her relationships?If she didn't forget her ex, why did she take herself to Shipu?

Is Yu Ren Qi Yiguo's placebo, or the seasoning of her life?

She is obviously in a relationship, but there will be another self observing the relationship, the so-called "introspection".What introspection brings to Yu Ren is nothing but cliche entanglements, cheesy positioning competitions, and cheesy wild thoughts—maybe apart from worrying that she will regret if she invests too quickly, Xiao Qi is also worried that she herself will be limited to a similar predicament.

Yu Ren didn't dare to look at the room again, for fear that he would discover the details again.She was tormented by a sentence Xiao Qi said, "I just feel that there is always a fire in my heart, and I have to burn it to be reconciled." Strength control.

The emotional expression of the pas de deux is presented through strength and range of motion. Isn't it the actors themselves who can present all this?If burning oneself in love is to submit an answer sheet to youth and passion to make a play, what is the meaning of burning?

While Yu Ren was staring at the sheets in a daze, Xiao Qi came back in a hurry.Seeing Yu Ren's shoes and suitcase at the door, she immediately called "Cai Cai" to the bedroom to find her lover whom she hadn't seen in half a month, "Cai Cai, I bought your favorite yellow fish noodles and small spring rolls!" Xiao Qi carried Barefooted, he rushed to the room. He wanted to give Yu Ren a big hug when he saw her, but he found the girl's eyes were cold thinking and dazed.

"Yiguo." Yu Ren's reaction was not as enthusiastic as Xiao Qi imagined, she looked at Yu Ren inquiringly, "Huh? What's wrong with Caicai? Who made my Caicai unhappy?"

Yu Ren looked into Qi Yiguo's eyes, hesitated for a while, and went to the bookshelf and took out the photo frame, "I'm sorry Yiguo, I pulled it out out of curiosity to have a look... I have a question..." Yu Ren has always treated love Such as studying, she will not be bored when she has a problem. She is good at asking questions, but also solves them.

The difference is that the relationship between her and knowledge will not be broken but will become closer after asking questions in her studies, but the problems in love may lead to a brittle relationship.Yu Ren knew the risk, she looked at Xiao Qi, "Yiguo, if it's convenient for you, please tell me why you took me to Shipu last time?"

Her politeness is actually an outpost of retreat, and when her heart trembles, the words she asks are even more polite.

Xiao Qi, who was carrying yellow croaker noodles and small spring rolls, was stunned for a moment, and then Yu Ren’s deep smile appeared in his eyes, "Cai Cai, I went there last time because it was my birthday. After I broke up with Cao Yun, I went there alone once." .

"It's not that you want to accompany me on the road of love again, but I want to say goodbye to my past self. Even...even if you didn't like me at the time, I can still tell my lost soul, the person I like Right by my side. This is my selfishness." Qi Yiguo's answer made Yu Ren fall into the obsession of "placebo or condiment", but the style is indeed very ego, but straightforward.

Yu Ren calmly said yes, that's all right, let's eat.She wanted to take the lunch box in Xiao Qi's hand, but Xiao Qi hugged her, "Cai Cai, you are not a healing product, really not."

The girl burst into tears, "What is that?" Yu Ren, who is smart and rational, really couldn't control his vulgarity in front of Xiao Qi.

"Let me answer with time and action, please?"
