Spring is coming

Chun Xin planned to steal food.

She had already prepared a plastic bag, put half of the rice in the rice bowl into the bag, dawdled in the yard for a while, pretended to finish eating, and then went into the house to add more, and repeated this three times to steal the rice for Xueli.

After dinner, grandparents started watching TV, and no one noticed her, so they sneaked out to send to Xueli.

"It's cold, do you want to heat it up? Do you have a pot at home?"

Xueli put the bag into a bowl, found a spoon and stood at the window to scoop it up, "It's not cold, I don't know how to use a pot."

Chun Xin smiled "hehe", "Is my food delicious?"

The taste of the elderly has deteriorated, and the vegetables are heavy in oil, spicy and salty.When Xueli was younger, she also lived with her grandparents, but she didn't think it was spicy.

She drank water and shook her head wildly, "It's delicious."

Chun Xin danced happily, "I'll steal it for you next time!"

When saying "steal", I deliberately lowered my voice, thinking it was exciting and fun, I clenched my fists and jumped on the spot twice.

Xueli grinned silly.

She is so cute.

Chun Xin said: "Your mother won't come back until after nine o'clock, you have to wait for her to come back, you are already starving."

After eating in the snow, hide the plastic bag at the bottom of the trash can and cover it with paper.

She wiped her mouth with a tissue, "How do you know when my mother will come back?"

Chun Xin put a fork on his waist, "I live downstairs from your house, of course I know!"

One is upstairs and the other is downstairs, chatting quietly.

Chun Xin asked: "You were not in Rong County before, where is your father?"

Xueli said, "I'm from Cannes, and my father works elsewhere."

"Where is Cannes?"

"It's far away in Cannes. I came here by plane."

"Wow! You've been on an airplane! What does an airplane look like?"

"...It's huge, with two wings."

Chun Xin began to circle around the yard, bent down, raised his hands straight back, and pretended to be an airplane.

Xueli smiled and was in a good mood.

Suddenly, she straightened up, the smile on her face disappeared, and Xueli also opened her eyes wide.

--What happened?

Chunxin pointed in a direction, and then began to recite pinyin in a low voice, "Ah, oh, oh, oh, oh..."

Xueli closed the window slowly and gently, and sure enough, she soon heard Grandma Chunxin's voice.

"Little mangy, don't go back to sleep yet!"

Mom came back late that night, and Xueli had been waiting for her in the bedroom, hiding bread and milk under the bed, pretending to have eaten them.

Mom apologized to her and gave her two dollars back. Xiao Xueli actually didn't know her very well at that time.She didn't remember anything when they parted.

At the age of 29, when I returned to my mother at the age of 29, my mood was very different.

Most of the things that impressed her in her childhood came from Chunxin. Her mother was at work all year round, and her parents were often absent from the meeting. When they got together during the Chinese New Year, what the mother and daughter said was not as good as what Grandma Chunxin said when they occasionally met downstairs.

Xueli vaguely remembered that she quarreled with her mother that day, dropped the cup, and cried, and went to school with swollen eyes the next day.

But now, she didn't shed a single tear until her mother tucked her quilt, turned off the light and took the door out.

After growing up and working, I realized how difficult it is for my mother. When she looked at her with tears countless times and said, "Mom only has you", you shouldn't reprimand her so capriciously and indifferently.

And Haruno...

She did a lot of wrong things, irreparable wrong things.

After her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, Yuuri tried to reach out her hand from under the quilt while lying on the bed.

Now that she has the chance to do it all over again, she doesn't want to just be an incompetent bystander.

She stretched out her hand, trying to grab something, this is how many times she has kept Chun Xin in her dreams.

The next moment she suddenly sat up from the bed, jumped out of bed without hesitation, opened the bedroom door and walked out, bumping into her mother who had just come out of the bathroom wiping her hair after taking a shower.

"Ouch!"

"To the restroom."

……

Squatting in the toilet, Xueli hugged her knees with her hands, depressed thinking that now that she has no car or house, and only two yuan in her possessions, it is impossible for her to take Yin Chunxin away from home and make social news.

After squatting in the pit for no more than 5 minutes, she heard her mother outside asking if she wanted paper, so Xueli had no choice but to pull up her pants and go out.

Mom thoughtfully asked: "Didn't you pull it out?"

Xueli shook her head, went to the water dispenser and poured two glasses of water, put them on the dining table, and pulled out the chair, "Please sit down."

Then she climbed to the opposite side by herself, took out the communication posture before signing the power of attorney with the client, and habitually pushed the non-existent glasses with the back of her fingers.

"Ms. Jiang Mengyan—"

Jiang Mengyan's hair was still dripping, and she saw her nine-year-old daughter sitting at the dining table in cartoon pajamas, her face was round like steamed buns just out of the pan, but her brows were slightly frowned, and she put her hands together on the table, like a TV An experienced negotiator here.

"Dongdong, are you still blaming your mother?"

Jiang Mengyan sat down at the table, she couldn't help feeling that the child has really grown up, it's been a few years since she's seen, she's still a primary school student in the first grade, she looks more mature than an adult like her.

There was the sound of cars rolling over the concrete road downstairs, and the sound of crickets coming from the yard downstairs. During the short silence, many thoughts went through Xueli's mind.

"Mom, I don't blame you, it's fine now."

After saying this, she jumped off the chair and turned into the room.

Get into the warm blanket, Yuli opened her eyes and stared blankly at somewhere in the darkness, she hadn't figured it out yet.

Yin Chunxin had a hard time when she was a child, but at least she lived a good life until Grandma Yin passed away.Most of the time, she doesn't need other people's help, she can figure out a lot of things by herself, and she can settle herself down.

She has always been strong.

What was she like after that phone call?Xueli didn't dare to think about that face full of despair and tears.

What if she screwed up again.

29-year-old Jiang Mengyan lived alone with her daughter after divorcing her cheating husband. She worked overtime until nine o'clock every day, and had to be patient and carefully coax the child when she returned home.

The 29-year-old Xueli is still single. She spends her days in a daze and has no interest in anything. When she gets sick and has a fever, she can only cry and call her mother.

Even now, she still has to ask her mother for help if she has anything to do.

When people grow up, they are not omnipotent, only mothers are.

In the ten years after Yin Chunxin left, she was selfish and immersed in sorrow. She never thought that her mother would feel sad because of her.

The first thing she did after receiving the police call was to call her mother. They rushed to the police station at the same time. She knelt on the ground and cried like hell, screaming loudly, feeling like the world was collapsing.

Unable to contact Chun Xin's family, her mother left her work and ran away alone, scolding Yin's family on the phone. With the help of the police, she handled cremation-related matters, bought a cemetery, and even came out to take care of her.

Poor Chun Xin has no mother.Mom said, "I'm the mother of both of you."

My mother also lost Chun Xin, although she was not her own child, she was really sad.

When she was drunk and crying bitterly, my mother was in double pain.

Throwing off the quilt, Xueli rushed out of the room again, hugging Jiang Mengyan who was still in a daze.

"Mom, I love you."

Normal office workers clock in at 45:[-], and primary school students arrive at school at [-]:[-] to start their morning reading.

When Xueli was dragged up by her mother to get dressed, she had already decided that this was God's punishment for her.

Fortunately, there is Chun Xin.

"Dengdengdengdeng! Look! What is this!"

Inside the plastic bottle was a large cricket, dark brown, with long antennae, shiny wings, and barbed legs.

Shaking the bottle in Xueli, she found that there were a few extremely thin holes in the body of the bottle that were scalded.

"My grandma scalded it for me with a fire hook, so that the bugs in it would not be smothered to death." Chun Xin stuffed the bottle into the net pocket on the side of her schoolbag, "This is for you, I still have Two, I'll catch you after this one dies."

"When did you catch it?"

"This morning! My grandma took me to exercise. When I got home, I caught them under the flowerpot." She couldn't wait to pass on her experience, "You have to be super fast, lift the flowerpot up and cover it, or they will run away .”

"Exercising?" Xueli looked confused.

"Yes, I was sick before, and my grandma said that I almost died, so she woke me up at six o'clock every day to exercise."

There was a small stabbing pain in the heart, walking in the morning sun, Xueli looked up in a trance, and saw a dazzling, tile-blue sky.

After she's gone, the sky is often gray when you look up.

Of course there are sunny days, but just like butterflies and dragonflies, people will no longer be attracted by these cute little lives when they grow up.

A popular saying on the Internet is: Some people use the happiness of childhood to heal their whole life, while some people use their whole life to heal their childhood.

Xueli considers herself to be the former of these.

Chunxin was always very energetic. After class, they went to the flower bed to dig grass roots to feed the crickets.

Pupils in the second grade for no apparent reason began to dig up a weed with red roots, which they said had the effect of curing all diseases.

Xueli gained control of this young body, but she couldn't control her hand digging the grass roots...

Chun Xin squatted aside, Wang Xiaomin, a second-grade student, looked over and said, "Don't waste your efforts! We have already dug up the grass roots here."

After Wang Xiaomin walked away, Chunxin mysteriously pointed out the direction for Xueli—it was a small hill behind the teaching building.

Half of the hill was dug out, and at the end of September, it was still a piece of wild green, and behind it was a long stone wall.

There are many graves outside the wall, which is not the territory of the 153 geological team.

The mysterious hill is a place that only bold senior students dare to set foot in.

Xueli said, "There are a lot of graves over there."

Chun Xin said, "I'm not afraid."

Fortunately, the enthusiasm for digging grass roots soon passed, and the game of knocking bricks between classes became popular.

There is a ridge next to the school playground, along the stone steps, a pile of red bricks suddenly appeared in the corner one day.

How to play it specifically is to use gray and stronger cement bricks to break the red bricks into pieces, and then grind them into powder bit by bit.

"Knock knock knock knock—"

"Bang tie tie tie tie—"

Every day between classes, under the shade of trees at the edge of the ridge, a row of red and green primary school students squatted here knocking bricks.

Chun Xin is also one of them, and she will always try her best to do her best when it comes to the things she is interested in.The process of beating broken bricks into powder is actually very interesting and a test of skill.

Xueli does not participate in this game, most of the time she is watching her play, which is also a kind of enjoyment.

She brought Chunxin a thick mango juice glass bottle, put the ground brick powder into it, and sold it to Wang Xiaomin, a classmate in Class [-] at a high price of [-] cents a bottle.

"I have to knock bricks every day!" Chun Xin was very happy after eating the little spicy dog.

Friday was the Double Ninth Festival, and after dinner that day, Jiang Mengyan rarely worked overtime, chatting downstairs with Chunxin's aunt Yin Yuanping, the principal, and Teacher Ma on the fourth floor of the sixth building.

The family came out with a bench, sat on the concrete floor under the window root and chatted, and carried their respective benches back when they left. The children ran wildly on the road and played with their best friends.

Chunxin caught a stick insect and excitedly held it up to find Xueli.

While squatting on the ground to dismember the stick insects, Xueli heard Grandma Chunxin say that she wanted to find some waste bricks to renovate the flower beds in the backyard.

Principal Yin raised his hand and pointed, "It's under the hurdle behind the school playground. There will be no classes tomorrow and Saturday. Go and move two yuan."

Xueli and Chunxin raised their heads and looked at each other without saying a word.

The next day, Grandma Chunxin took Chunxin to move bricks.

In the end, of course, nothing was found, and the bricks had already been knocked out by them!Turned into powder, turned into a stain on the skirt and cuffs, turned into a hot dog.
