old lily no spring

He said he wanted to teach Ge Hua how to play basketball, but Song Han wanted to see how her talent and sense of the ball were.So I borrowed two basketballs from the sports room, and said to Ge Hua, "Look at me dribbling like this, but don't shoot with the palm of your hand, it's not easy to control the direction of the ball, your five fingers actually have a 'grab' movement .”

She demonstrated to Ge Hua that the basketball seemed to be attracted by her, and it moved calmly from left to right, and also moved back and forth sideways, with a very smooth rhythm of shooting the ball.

Ge Hua imitated her appearance and tried to take a few shots. Although she ran with the ball at first, after a while, Song Han found that the child's slender hand was very controlling, and gradually he was able to control the path of the ball. .She asked, "How do you feel?"

Ge Hua took the picture vigorously, "It's a little itchy, but when I change direction, I can control the direction by holding it with the tip of my thumb." Song Han only found the feeling after taking pictures for a week, and was laughed at by Zhilan, "the old lady Shoot melons".

After shooting for a while, Song Han taught her how to shoot, "Hold the ball," she went to correct Ge Hua's ball-holding gesture, "Yes, now from the waist, and then to the chest, when shooting, focus on exerting strength from the legs and body. Lean forward slightly." She raised the basketball, stretched her arms to the back of her wrist, pressed her wrist lightly, and the basketball drew a clear arc and hit the bull's-eye, making a crisp sound of entering the frame.

Ge Hua opened her slender eyes wide, and the single eyelid was squeezed out of the thin eyelid gap. Song Han took a closer look, "Ha, what about the double eyelid." She gestured to Ge Hua, "Come on, try it yourself."

I have to say that Ge Hua's coordination and strength felt very good, but she pushed the basketball into the hoop alive, and after being hit by the backboard, the basketball bounced back in front of her.

"You have to press your wrist," Song Han raised his hand, the wrist joints glowed softly in the sun, allowing Ge Hua to feel the slow motion of her force and wrist pressing, "in this way, the trajectory of the ball conforms to the trace of a parabola, Get to the high point and drop instead of hitting the backboard like a parallel."

Seeing Ge Hua staring blankly with his eyes open, Song Han tilted his head, "Huh?"

The tall girl regained her senses, tried her wrist, then picked up the racket for a few times, held her breath, bent slightly, exerted force, straightened her waist, pressed her wrist in one go, and the ball also drew an arc and flew into the basket.

Ge Hua couldn't help clapping her hands, "That's great! I said you have talent in this area." She patted the girl's shoulder with a little effort, "Practice slowly, and wait for you to compete with me." After speaking, she said to herself Practice dribbling for a layup.Just after Ge Huayi followed her to master the pace of the layup, the two played back and forth under the basketball hoop until the bell rang for the end of this class.Ge Hua reluctantly returned the basketball to Song Han, wiped off his sweat with a smile, "It's fun."

It was the first time Songhan saw her smile. Under the girl's straight nose bridge was a diamond-shaped lip. After the lip line was drawn, she felt that this was the sunshine that a 15-year-old girl should have.Song Han took the ball, "Go wash your hands and get ready for class."

Ge Hua nodded, "Thank you, teacher." With a stride of his long legs, he ran to the pool in the distance.Song Han looked at her back, thinking that Zhi Lan, who finished playing in high school, was also so happy.

Ge Hua's happiness only lasted until the third period of geography class, when she was called out by the teacher Liu in the middle of the class.When she returned to the office, she was surprised to find that her mother and third sister Ziwei were also there. As soon as her mother saw her, she stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, "Where's your brother? Where did he go before he finished lunch?"

Ge Hua was at a loss, "He - he lifted the dining table and ran out. I thought he came to school."

Wu Fang didn't even have time to change her clothes, and the pumps on her feet were still covered with mud. She received a call from Ge Erkang, the head teacher, saying that the students hadn't come to school until the third class in the afternoon, and they didn't ask for leave.Wu Fang threw away the work in her hand and hurried to the school. After listening to her daughter Ziwei's timid remarks, there was no sign of her son.Her eyes were red with anger, and she suddenly raised her hand and slapped Ge Hua, "It's not that you bullied your brother, can he run away in anger?"

The crisp sound of slap echoed in the office, and the teachers present were shocked. Ge Hua covered his hot cheeks and bit his lips to hold back tears, "I didn't bully him, he bullied Ziwei, and even overturned the table."

"It's not because you scratched the things in his bowl that he can be so wronged?" Wu Fang's voice became sharper, and when she stretched out her hand to chase after another slap, Ge Hua had already turned and ran out.

Song Han, who was covered in sweat, didn't care that he didn't bring skin cream, so he quickly rinsed his face in the tap water.When she took out the facial tissue and wiped the water stains, she went to the office when she saw a tall and thin figure running out of the school. When the principal was wondering, she saw Wu Fang and her third daughter, Ziwei, following behind.After returning to the office, she felt that the atmosphere was strangely quiet again, Bai Shuang shrugged, "Domestic violence scene." After listening roughly, Song Han frowned, "Nonsense, isn't it her son's fault?"

"It's unreasonable, but I'm right." Teacher Zou, the school administrator who came to distribute the materials, looked at the backs of those who ran out of the school gate and walked in, "My cousin, Lao Ge, finally gave birth to that baby pimple. He is determined to support his family and earn money. Before his family gave birth to a son, the house site was taken up by neighbors for two points, which is unreasonable."

He sent the materials to several teachers one by one, "Don't worry, Erkang, he must have sneaked into the city with his classmates to surf the Internet." Teacher Zou has had a lot of headaches since the nephew of Ge's family entered junior high school for a year. Playing truant and surfing the Internet, there was never a time when he was not present.He thought for a while, "I'd better call his dad."

Just for a bowl of braised chicken nuggets?Bai Shuang was also unbelievable, "This is too discriminatory."

Zhu Chrome scratched his head in confusion, "It's too much, a dish can be eaten by several people."

"That's because I've been used to caring for food since I was a child." Mr. Liu is used to such arrogant boys in the family. "If you don't raise the embryo well when you are young, you will beat your sisters and even your parents when you grow up. If you don't give money, you will fool around." He said. He snorted coldly, "That's why I didn't let my kid eat when he was a child, just go hungry for two meals."

Song Han sat down and prepared to continue preparing lessons, but he was worried about where the child would go, whether to go home?Or hide in some field and cry?Glimpse of the scar on the left wrist, where the heat rolled.She thought of being at grandma's house with her cousin when she was a child. The domineering cousin stabbed her with a pizza knife because of a piece of pizza, and directly stabbed her in the wrist.Song Han, who was bleeding profusely, was rushed to the hospital by his grandfather, and he was relieved after the doctor checked that no major arteries were injured. He turned around and blamed Song Han, who was only seven years old, "You are my sister, don't you just have a piece of cake? Want to eat You tell grandpa, grandpa will buy it for you. My brother is still young, so you have to let him."

Her grandparents moved to the city from their hometown in the countryside to live with their parents. They were puzzled that a piece of Pizza Hut's "pancake" cost tens of dollars, and thought that pancakes rolled with green onions and dipped in sauce were delicious.But for the cousin who is half a month younger than Songhan, they are obedient and obedient. If the cousin wants to eat pancakes, they will buy them, and if the cousin wants to eat "roujiamo", they will take him to KFC.A piece of real pancake would be stuffed in Song Han's hand, and she would just stare at her cousin eagerly if she didn't eat green onions.

Her injury finally alarmed her mother, who was busy with the teaching work of the graduating class. After she had a bad fight with her grandparents, her mother sent Song Han to her grandma's house to raise her for two months.The hand injury healed quickly, and Pizza Hut also felt like vomiting, but the scar always made my mother feel lingering.

When she told her mother she wanted to sponsor a girl who was about to drop out of school, her mother simply asked, "Why her?"

"Because she reminds me of myself when I was a child." Song Han smiled, "I'm either brooding over the past, or just looking at her makes me sad, and I want to help her. What if I can change the fate of a person or even a family? ?”

Mother just said, "But do a good job."

What Ke Songhan didn't expect was that her seemingly impulsive decision made him worry even more.When the eyes began to focus on a girl, everyone behind her family, and the environment in which she lived and studied, Song Han was even more grateful that his mother resolutely divorced back then, so that he could escape the harm of that family.

Song Han prepared the class, and his thoughts drifted out of the school from time to time: That kid won't do stupid things, right?Her heart skipped a beat.No, her mother and sister chased her out, so she probably wasn't doing something stupid.She comforted herself, barely restrained herself and continued to work.

After get off work, several of their supporting teachers went back to eat first. According to the arrangement, the two male teachers would stay to follow up the evening self-study, and the female teacher had a rest first.After Song Han returned to Ge's house, he saw Ge Erkang sitting at the table eating McDonald's, Wu Fang's eyes were still red, "You child, you run around the city at every turn, you don't have a dime on you, why can't you come home?" manage?"

"Then I'll go find my eldest sister." Ge Erkang was biting the spicy chicken wings, while Ge Ziwei brought out dinner from the kitchen, and greeted them in a low voice, "Hello, teacher."

"Where's your second sister, Ge Hua?" Song Han asked.

Ziwei shook her head, meaning she didn't know either.Wu Fang saw several teachers coming back, and hurriedly greeted them to prepare for dinner.She rushed to the market and took a taxi to find the city, and finally found her son lying behind someone else's seat watching the game at a familiar Internet cafe.Finally relieved, she bought Erkang's favorite McDonald's, and finally coaxed the child home.No need to ask, Ziwei made this dinner, and she didn't care where Ge Hua went.She was not afraid of Ge Hua doing stupid things at all, she was all about her son.

Song Han pulled Ziwei over and asked in a low voice, "Where does your sister go when she is in a bad mood?"

Ziwei thought for a while, "The monk's temple behind the village."

After asking how to get there, Song Han only asked Wu Fang to stay for dinner, and then went to find the small temple called "Guangci Temple" alone.Gecun is a large agricultural village, and at the end of the village road there is a large piece of farmland. She ran away before it was dark, and finally found this temple at the foot of the hill.Several antique houses are surrounded by yellow walls, and under the corners are half-foot-high weeds, but they cannot cover a 1.8-meter-tall girl.

Song Han stood there watching for a while, and after thinking about how to speak, he slowly approached and found a place to sit beside Ge Hua, "When you sit down, you are taller than weeds."

Ge Hua had obviously cried, and there were still five fingerprints on his face.She hugged her knees and buried her head low.Listening to Song Han sitting next to her, the sound of cars driving on the original road was intertwined with the radio of Gecun Middle School, intertwined and collided over the empty plain, and then shook to pieces.The setting sun turns from orange to black and yellow, and after a while, night will fall.Song Han pricked up his ears to listen to the insects in the grass, "Is that a grasshopper?"

Only then did Ge Hua look up, nodded and said, "Yes."

After sitting for a while, Song Han asked, "You missed a class and a half today."

Ge Hua nodded even more heavily, "I know." The last class was physics, a subject she liked very much.

"Then have you finished your homework?" Song Han laughed at her.

"No." Ge Hua also knows that time is precious. She has to feed the pigs, clean the kitchen, wash the family's clothes for today, and do homework and preview homework.The third year of junior high school came like this, but before the senior high school entrance examination, she had a fever during the examination due to the rush to harvest the early wheat and rained, and she did not perform at her best level in the end.She even thought, wouldn't it be better if this chance of being funded was left to the eldest sister Yanzi?Compared with her elder sister, she is not so talented in learning, and she has to rely on step by step to maintain the top [-] in the grade and the top ten in the class.And my sister's grades can be admitted to the provincial key of the city's No. [-] middle school.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked Song Han, "Ms. Lu, can you tell my sponsor that my sister will go to high school instead?"

Song Han was speechless, and asked after a while, "Because my sister has better grades?"

The girl nodded, "I'm going to study, my mother is angry." So she will help her mother with some farm work when delivering lunch at noon. Having finished high school does not mean that she can devote herself to her studies.Instead, she wants to be more discerning in doing things for the family.If she simply goes to work and replaces her older sister with studying, her mother will not be so angry, and her younger brother will be relatively restrained.The older she got, the more she felt that she was the thorn in her mother's eye.After she goes out to work, maybe the family will not be in trouble.

"No." Song Han replied in a low voice, turned his head to the girl and smiled, and stretched out his hand to touch the hard head, "The donor said that it only supports fresh graduates." She made up a perfunctory excuse for indulging in self-blame. child. "Ge Hua," Song Han's voice suddenly became serious, "Since you have the opportunity, you have to persevere no matter how difficult it is, you know? The sponsor said that he will continue to help you when you are admitted to university."

"Why—" Why does it have to be me?Ge Hua's black eyebrows frowned.

Perhaps seeing a thin but slightly stooped figure at the other end touched Song Han's heart at that moment. "Because——you are the tallest, and you may have the possibility to develop into sports." Song Han found another reason, "You have a good feeling playing basketball today."

Finally persuaded Ge Hua to go home with her, and when walking on the field road, Song Han asked the girl beside him, "Are you afraid of going home?"

"Don't be afraid, at most a broom will be eaten." Ge Hua said.

"Will you study hard at night?" Song Han continued to ask, her voice would be a little cold to strangers, but if she was familiar with it, she would hear a very delicate warmth.

"Yes." Ge Hua lowered her head.

Song Han suddenly patted her on the back, "I know that people who are too tall will become rickety after a long time because they often have to lower their heads to talk to others. But, you can't, you're only 15 years old, it's bad for your spine. Not good. Reading a book and spending half an hour leaning against the wall can improve your posture." After walking for a while, Song Han asked, "If your mother beats you when you go home, what will you do?"

Stubborn children who can't cry are at a disadvantage.Zhilan once said that when she got into trouble when she was a child, her parents burst into tears just after they stared at her, so that the other party would only say a few words if they were soft-hearted.She still did it until she was in college, and Zhilan's helpless mother sighed, "You look fresh and capable on the outside, why do you cry at every turn?" Zhilan stuck out her tongue, "A woman's weapon is tears."

"I'll just let her beat her. I'm not afraid of pain, and I won't cry." Tears when she was beaten were a loss of self-esteem, and Ge Hua never begged for mercy like her sister.

After walking for a while, Song Han's slow voice came to Ge Hua's ears, "I know that sometimes you can't reason with your parents, their reasoning is not 'reasonable' at all. But the more you refuse to admit defeat, the more they beat and scold you. Work harder. I'll go and persuade your mother to calm down, your expression can be softened, and sometimes your mouth can be sweeter."

"No." In Ge Hua's cognition, "sweet mouth" is equivalent to "acting like a baby". She doesn't know how to act like a baby, how to speak sweet words, and how to cry.Countless scolding with broom sticks had hammered her into a hard steel bar.

"Hey," Song Han glanced at her, "What a child." Then he let go and ran.

Unexpectedly, Ge Hua was not far behind, and she quickly caught up with Song Han.Both of them swung their arms at the same time, "I won't lose, I've been running for four years." Song Han speeded up the speed of swinging his arms.

It was the first time for Ge Hua to run on a country road. The dim yellow lights dotted with stars in front of her, cooking smoke, insects screaming, the smell of earth, and the soft appearance of her feet... brushed against her ears and nose, and she ran more and more briskly. The happier she is, the more she unknowingly throws Song Han behind her.After realizing it, she stopped and waited for Song Han behind her.The young teacher beckoned to her with one hand on his hips, "Why are you running so fast?"

Ge Hua raised his face proudly, "Natural." A pine cold hit on the top of his head, "Little bastard, he grows tall and runs fast." Ge Hua was stunned, with an inexplicable feeling of wanting to cry .Not because of grievances, nor because of pain.

After it got dark, Song Han couldn't see Ge Hua's face clearly, so she took a deep breath, "Ge Hua, don't stand around and get beaten up in a foolish way. When no one intercedes for you to hold your mother, you run away, you know?" ?”

Ge Hua's eyes flashed with doubt, "Run—where are you going?"

Song Han pointed to the small temple behind him, "For example, there, such as the school, in short, don't take the beating for granted."

"Then why don't you go home?" Ge Hua was puzzled.

"You, you are really sincere." Song Han laughed, "Of course I guess your mother will go home for dinner after her anger subsides. When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance, understand?"

"Oh." Ge Hua nodded half understanding.

Song Han shook her head in the back, thinking to herself that she was teaching other people's children to be naughty.However, such a silly child, in such a suffocating small world, just lacks the courage to protect himself.
