God said I would meet you

Lin Jinyu didn't quite understand what "find you a partner" meant, and Grandpa didn't explain much.Just as he was thinking, he felt his grandfather's callused and wrinkled hands reaching out and gently touching the top of his head.

Grandpa said: "Oh...it's higher, Grandpa needs to raise his hand."

Lin Jinyu looked at the face that was full of signs of time but still resolute, and said, "Grandpa, I'm 16 this year."

"It's good to be 16 so soon..." Grandpa said, "I always feel that you are still young. When I held you back then, you were only so big..." He compared his hands. Lin Jinyu looked at the gesture and thought : That's really small.

Grandpa went on to say: "You were born prematurely and weighed only four catties, which is lighter than his grandson. The old family said that this little boy is difficult to feed... Who would have thought that he would grow up in a short time."

Old people will especially like to recall the past when they are old. Those long-ago stories are the only memories in their lives. They always tell people about those days that never come back, maybe they think they can capture a little A little sand of time.

Lin Jinyu listened quietly. In fact, he didn't remember much of those things, and there were many of them that he didn't remember at all, but he still listened quietly.

At the end, grandpa patted him on the shoulder in fear, and said, "Go home, I will call your dad to tell him to come back early."

"Hey, good." Lin Jinyu stood up, and when he went out, he heard his grandfather say behind him: "Come back and see when you have time."

Lin Jinyu heard the sound of the old-fashioned anti-theft door closing behind her, looked back, and then went downstairs.

Uncle Zhao sent him back as it was, and the roads in the compound where he hobbled along when he was a child were densely shaded, and Lin Jinyu's high school military training ended anticlimactic in such dense trees.

That day Lin Huainan came home and cooked him a sumptuous dinner according to the agreement. Lin Jinyu knew that his father was actually not good at cooking. He didn't like to cook and didn't like to focus on eating. I could make do with it for a meal, and then I started to learn a little bit for Lin Jinyu.

After this meal, Lin Huainan went back to his study to read books, which were all books that Lin Jinyu still couldn't understand.He loves to tell Lin Jinyu about those books, but it's just those books. Comics, online articles, and games that Lin Jinyu is as interested in as chicken blood at his age are all fast-food children's things in his eyes ... and indeed children's stuff.

Dad is fine, Lin Jinyu thought: It's just that everyone has nothing to say.

Their house is very big, but Lin Jinyu is often the only one there.There is a small attic on the top floor for storing sundries. When you sit on the balcony and look out, you can see the sunken sunset and countless high-rise buildings stretching straight into the sky. Those straight buildings divide the city into regular squares, tens of millions People are busy and living in this steel forest.

Everyone is just living their own boring days under the roof.

School started, and Lin Jinyu chose day school between day school and residential school. He was still not used to living under the same roof with people he didn't know well.My home is a bit far from the school, but fortunately, I have a car, and it only takes more than 20 minutes every day to get there.

High school is no different than junior high school. This is a war where you will fight with all your strength, but there is no trace of gunpowder. It is the first important crossroad in a person's life. The direction you finally go is to a large extent It determines what kind of person you will grow into in the future... However, most people who have the opportunity to stand at this intersection often do not really understand how important this road is to him at the time.

The morning class changed from four to five, and in the afternoon from three to four. Extended classes and activity classes were occasionally replaced by Chinese, Mathematics, and English. Self-study began at [-] o'clock in the morning, and there were elective courses every week in the first year of high school.

He put the leftover brass bullet case in the drawer casually, and Lin Jinyu would only look for it occasionally when looking for things.

This is a period of easy but not easy, busy but not busy days. Compared with some other high schools in the country, the management model of the attached middle school is quite free, and the student department is free to manage all matters large and small.Although the schoolwork is still heavy, it is not so breathless.

Xu Zhao, Huang Jiayao, and Lin Jinyu each encouraged their families to find some connections, and entrusted acquaintances to assign them to a class. The buddies and brothers are all together, and the classmates are getting along well. Parents are still very busy. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhou is back from vacation. .

Lin Jinyu would eat lunch at school, so she didn't have to worry about it. She would go home on time every night to cook dinner as before, and on weekends to clean up, tidy up the room and clothes, and she would get a month's salary.

At 20 or [-] o'clock in the evening, Lin Jinyu finished her homework half-playing and half-writing, and cleaned up, washed her face and went to bed by herself. Maybe her parents came back at this time, or maybe they didn't.The next day, Uncle Zhao drove him to school. It took more than [-] minutes to catch up on sleep, and it went on and on.

Lin Jinyu lived day by day in such a calm and unwavering atmosphere.

Summer is over and autumn comes again, when the weather is getting colder and the leaves on the branches are getting thinner and thinner day by day, when his first winter at the age of 16 comes, the yard, the dog, the mountain, the Haizi... Those memories about Liangshan have gradually become blurred and distant, like a myopic eye who takes off his glasses to see things in the distance, and everything is unclear.

He would call Zhang Xinli at first, but gradually stopped. One was because he was too embarrassed to bother others, and Zhang Xinli also had his own business to do.

Moreover, when the lives of each other have not intersected at all for a long time, those two people who were once considered close will not have so much to talk about.

Many times, only when Lin Jinyu saw the watch with the red circle on his hand, and the sheep's head necklace that Gao Wu gave him, would he have a sporadic sense of reality. It turned out that he had really lived in such a far place for a while .

until that day.

Lin Jinyu remembered clearly that it was the sixth day of the holiday, not long after the new year.

In winter, the temperature drops very quickly. The winter in Shanghai is not only cold, but also wet, the kind of heavy and suffocating humidity.

The sea breeze is very strong, and in the cold and wet winter wind, busy people are wrapped in down coats to minimize the contact area between themselves and the cold and humid air outside. Numerous old trees with bare branches stand on the street for several years and faithfully stare at this rapidly rising modern city.

Lin Jinyu thought it was too cold outside, so she didn't want to go out at home, and she didn't even want to turn on the air conditioner when she got out of bed.He couldn't bear the heat that was so hard to get out of the bed, so he clung to the bed like a hen hatching an egg, covered by the quilt, and no one cared about him anyway.

The winter vacation lasted for a month, and no make-up classes were arranged. Even though the Chinese New Year was approaching, Lin Huainan still wrapped up his coat and went out early in the morning, saying that there was some important dinner.

Lin Jinyu was ready to see him again at night, but Lin Huainan suddenly came back at noon. He found that Lin Jinyu was still on the bed, and immediately flew into a rage, ordering him to get up quickly.

Lin Jinyu felt the temperature outside, but couldn't get up the energy to get out of the bed. Wrapped in the quilt, he only stuck out his head and said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, get up."

In fact, it was verbal action, and there was no intention to act at all.He knows that his father will go out again soon, and he doesn't know if he can afford it, it doesn't matter if it's true or not.

Sure enough, Lin Huainan put the food back on the table, went back to the room to look for things for a while, and then went out again, he said while putting on his shoes: "Xiao Yu, get up quickly, what does it look like at this point... …By the way, I may not be able to make it back tonight, Mrs. Zhou and her family are all going back to their hometown for the New Year, so I won’t be able to come today, so you order a takeaway early, and don’t forget to pick up your brother at the station after dinner.”

Lin Jinyu sat blankly, and replied casually like a puppet: "Oh, okay, I see."

After two seconds, he shook violently and asked again: "What did you say?"

"Pick up brother," Lin Huainan turned around and said, "I said I would pick up his train today, but I didn't expect that there was something urgent and I had dinner with the bureau leader, so I couldn't push it away."

Lin Jinyu stared blankly for a few seconds, finally digesting the sudden news.He lifted the quilt: "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't I know about it at all?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Lin Huainan thought for a while, and recalled: "It seems that I didn't tell, and the decision was made hastily. After all, Shanghai and Sichuan are too far apart. No one knows whether it is good to come to study, and you have to worry about it." See if his family agrees... Later, grandpa thought about it again and again, and asked himself, saying that he still wanted to visit the big city, so he made a decision. The decision was hasty, and he just bought the ticket for the next day, but forgot to tell you. "

Lin Jinyu keenly captured the key information: "Study?" He said, "Is he coming to study?"

Lin Huainan said: "Well, let's try it for a while, but it's not the enrollment season, I just said that I'm temporarily borrowing from your school, I don't know if I can adapt to it, let's observe for a while."

Lin Jinyu felt incredible, Lin Huainan repeatedly told him: "Don't forget, brother doesn't know the way, remember to pick him up."

Lin Jinyu asked which station and what time it was, and heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Can possible order, when Lin Huainan closed the door, he rolled off the bed, dressed, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and ate breakfast quickly... When everything is settled, clean up When she was dressed and sitting in the living room, Lin Jinyu glanced at the wall clock. It was still six hours before Zhang Xinli's train arrived.The time is very early, and there is still room for a full set of SPA.

But he was already looking forward to the moment when he would go out in the howling winter breeze.
