Two trees make a forest

Chapter 21 Ke Xiang

When I went upstairs, Li Shuang was waiting for me in the stairwell, and stopped me when I came up: "Don't think that your little favor can separate us. She will never be your friend again."

"Neighbors." After speaking, I pushed Li Shuang's hand away.

Li Shuang leaned against the wall and said with a smile: "Cut, it's obvious that there is no backer around you to show affection. Don't think I don't know. Once Mu Xizi's father leaves, your family's backer will be gone, and your father will soon die." It's down. So I picked you up to please Zhang Xiaoman. Her dad is about to be promoted now. My dad ignores your dad. Your dad has to find a new support. Otherwise, your dad's name will be on the next round of retirement list .”

I took a step back and stood in front of her, very angry: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Hmph, I'm not talking nonsense. My dad said it all. The boss is retiring, and the second is on top. My dad is on the right side. From now on, my dad will be the deputy director of the factory. Your dad, get out of here." Li Shuang also Don't show weakness, look at me viciously.

I was furious and wanted to call her, but when I thought of my dad, I couldn't bear it, and then hurried upstairs.In the evening, Zhang Xiaoman came to see me for the first time.I was very happy, but I didn't expect her to hand me the diary I gave her intact: "Thank you. My dad said that I can't accept it."

Seeing her lowering her head, my inexplicable anger flared up again: "Since you don't want it, forget it." I took the diary and turned back to the room, and slammed the door shut.I threw the diary on the table, threw myself on the bed and cried, flooded with acid in my heart, I felt like a big fool.

I didn't say a word to Li Shuang and Zhang Xiaoman during the whole vacation.At the beginning of the new semester, I went back to school, but this time, I approached Class 4 of the second grade.As soon as I stepped in, everyone looked at me like I was shooting.I lowered my head nervously.The head teacher introduced me in a few words, and then arranged me in the last vacant seat, next to a boy wearing glasses.My school life has reopened.I felt awkward meeting my former classmates, but everyone seemed to say that they treated me as a stranger, pretending not to know each other and passing by.Since they forgot me, I naturally forgot them too.Obscurity in the new class.Many competitions are not compulsory for teachers to participate in, and I will ignore and give up.Studying is very easy for me. In the first unified examination, I won the first place in the class and the second place in the age.Everyone looked at me with admiration.But I always avoid other people's surprised and envious eyes.I became a nerd in the class who only knew how to bury his head in the questions.

The placement test at the end of the second semester of the second year of junior high school, no accident, I was admitted to the first class.There were very few classmates in the original class, and my tablemate with glasses was one of them. His full name was Ke Xiang.He once joked: "I can get into the first class if I copy your homework, it seems that I have to continue to sit next to you, maybe I can get into high school." I have nothing to say to him.

Entering the third grade of junior high school, our learning tasks have intensified.Tian En was directly promoted to the junior high school in the headquarters.My dad asked me which school I wanted to go to, and I said City No. [-] High School.My dad nodded.The pressure of studying is a bit high, but I didn't notice that my diet has improved.In the third day of junior high school, I study by myself in the evening.My dad wanted to pick me up, but I refused, saying that Ke Xiang would come along.My dad has had a lot of anxiety over the past few years, and his gray hair has grown a lot.It was only later that I realized that what Li Shuang said was true, and the factory began to lay off workers.My dad has the technology and has not been affected.But Aunt Liu and her husband downstairs bought out their working years, even sold the house allocated by the factory, and took their pensions and all their belongings to the coast.Li Shuang's father didn't become the deputy factory director as Li Shuang said, but he was still the factory director's favorite.There are fewer people in the factory, a lot of work, and my dad works more overtime. I can't bear to see him work hard for me anymore, so I decided to take Ke Xiang home with me.Ke Xiang's father knew that his achievements today depended on my guidance, so he wished that Ke Xiang would follow me every day.Ke Xiang had no choice but to go around in circles and send me back to the yard and then back home.Grandma turned eighty this year, her eyesight is dim, and Tianen began to undertake the housework at home.Even I started giving him the thumbs up.

We didn't have a few days off during the winter vacation, and we started to go to school.My family was wrapped in a thick padded jacket and sat in the chilly classroom.Exercises pile upon pile.Teachers of various subjects scrambled to take classes, hoping to achieve better results in the senior high school entrance examination.I wrote and wrote until twelve o'clock, stretched my waist and wanted to drink a glass of water. As soon as I went out, I saw the door was open and my dad was smoking on the balcony.I walked out: "Dad."

My dad took a look at me, then put out the cigarette: "I'm bothering you."

"No." I stood beside him, almost taller than him.

"Are you tired from studying recently?" My dad always started with "Are you tired from studying?"I shake my head.My dad twisted his neck: "Although it is sad to say that the young and the young don't work hard. But Duoduo, no matter how you do in the senior high school entrance examination, just do your best." I nodded.My dad patted me on the shoulder: "It's getting late, go to bed early."

Looking at my dad's old face, I feel sad for a while.If it weren't for my willfulness.I was in high school two years earlier.Why is my dad still worried about me: "Dad, I'm sorry."

My dad gave me a rare smile, and patted my head: "Silly boy. You are giving me the greatest reward by studying hard." I nodded vigorously, sure to live up to his expectations.

Every day before class, the teacher will cheer us up and let us fight with full blood.Especially one month before the exam, the review becomes day-to-day.In the morning and evening, I go to school with Ke Xiang and memorize knowledge points on the way.My grades in the mock exams were relatively stable, and it shouldn't be a problem to enter the second high school without any accidents, but Ke Xiang was suspended.His grades fluctuated.Let the teacher sweat for him.

One day at noon, Ke Xiang and I were eating steamed buns on the roof, and he suddenly asked me: "Do you want me to be admitted to the second high school in the city?" I leaned on the railing, and he leaned on the railing.The weather is very good, blue sky and white clouds, good view, green hills far away.

I thought about it seriously in my heart. In fact, thanks to Ke Xiang in the past two years, my junior high school life will not be so lonely.But if he doesn't pass the exam, I won't be too disappointed, so I asked him back: "Do you want to pass the exam yourself?" Ke Xiang looked at me, I was eating the second bun, and he stared straight at me. Looking at me, I felt my scalp go numb, and the buns in my mouth were hard to swallow.Ke Xiang was a little taller than me, and suddenly hit my forehead with such force that I cried out in pain, "What are you doing?"

I rubbed my forehead and looked at Ke Xiang. Ke Xiang turned to face the distant mountains and the sky, and howled loudly: "Think!" Then he smiled at me like a fool.

I took one look at him, took a big bite out of the steamed stuffed bun, and muttered, "If you think about it, take the exam. Anyway, I'm going to be listed in the second high school." I looked at the mountains far away in the sky, To Mu Xizi who is far away in the sky.Don't know how she is now.In the letter, she said that she went to the best high school in Shanghai and was very happy studying.I warned myself not to fall behind.He had to be admitted to the No. [-] High School in Shanghai and a university in Shanghai, and then rushed to find her.

"Why do you want to take the No. [-] High School?" Seeing that I had finished eating the buns, Ke Xiang handed me his own buns, and I took them without any hesitation.Since my body has recovered and the food at home has improved, Ke Xiang often buys food, and my tonnage has started to soar again.

Without thinking, I blurted out: "Isn't it obvious, I want to go to university. It's a very good university." The university closest to Muxizi.When I think about it in my heart, I feel very happy.

"Oh." Ke Xiang lay on the railing and said inadvertently, "You just came to our class at that time, and the classmates in our class were talking about you." I looked at him curiously, and he continued, "They said You are not an ordinary person. You have nothing to do but study well. You like to be in the limelight, beat people, and steal things. I hate you very much." This is the first time I heard someone say it to me, and they also described me as a street rat that everyone hates.The steamed stuffed bun in my mouth became tasteless in an instant.I didn't expect my character to be so bad in their eyes.I held the steamed stuffed bun in my hand, and my heart was twitching. "Sitting at the same table with you, I realized that those rumors are really hateful." I turned my head and looked at Ke Xiang, who could turn his face faster than a book, and he said happily by himself, "You are so disgusting, you are simply pitiful."

I was so angry that I kicked Ke Xiang: "You are pitiful."

Ke Xiang hugged his legs and howled: "It's true. Once you stand on the podium, you are very weak. In addition to class, you are studying. You will not cause trouble, let alone gossip, my book and pen. You didn’t bring it with you, and you took the initiative to lend it to me. The point is that you can lend me your homework.” I looked at Ke Xiang with disdain, it’s not because he has a thick skin and copied it into a habit.Calming his legs, Ke Xiang stood up straight again: "You come to our class, our class teacher likes you very much, you always win prizes in competitions, you are not greedy for fame and fortune, and you are not willing to snatch it from any class committee. You didn't see that everyone I really like you." I really stayed in Class 4 of the second grade of junior high school. "You can answer everything everyone asks you. The grades of our class have improved a lot. Although everyone in the third grade of junior high school went their separate ways, no one in the class hates you." Hearing this sentence made me feel at ease, and continued to lean on the railing eat buns.

Ke Xiang came over and bumped me with his arm: "After school, Class 4 of the second grade of junior high school gathers for the last supper." It was only then that I realized that he had so many thunderbolts because of this one.I turned around and left, he grabbed my hand and said, "Our class really doesn't hate you."

I stuffed the rest of the buns into his arms: "I know, brother, but the bell is ringing, I don't want to be scolded for being late." Ke Xiang, who had completed the task, rushed up and rubbed my head, and then the wind Generally ran back to the classroom.Disordered in the wind, I clenched my fists angrily, ran up, and punched him a few times.

The senior high school entrance examination is not a big deal for me, the big thing is what class I get into and who I'm with.I was successfully admitted to the high school that my grandfather wanted, but this time Zhang Yue and He Jiajia were in different classes.I know a lot of old classmates in the class, but the only one I know well is Xia Shengnan.All the students in the class have learned a lot and have many specialties.The freshman party was very lively.Xia Shengnan and I prepared an ensemble. I played the piano and she played the violin. We cooperated very well and won warm applause from the audience.Not long after, love letters would inexplicably appear in our drawers, and someone would even confess in person.Xia Shengnan always leans towards me like a frightened little white rabbit, and I accompany her to drive away the flies for her.He Jiajia came to bid us farewell not long after studying, saying that her parents arranged for her to study abroad early.We threw her a farewell party together.At the party, I met Liu Ziyang from the third class.He was tall, with thick eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose, and a hearty smile that won the favor of many girls present.After sending He Jiajia away, Liu Ziyang, his good friends Xu Zhaoyang and Song Chengzhi were welcomed into our missing foursome.The six of us often hang out together on weekends.I know Liu Ziyang likes me, but if he doesn't tell me, I won't care.Song Chengzhi confessed to Zhang Yue, and the two became the first couple among us.Seeing them crooked, I always want to break them up with a stick.My dad's business was doing well, and he started investing in stocks and electronics again.I often don't see him once a week.I have lived in my grandfather's house for a long time, and my grandmother's illness has improved.Lin Duoduo's letter arrived on time.The content in my heart is sparse and plain, sometimes I don't even want to take it apart, but I don't allow her not to send it.Lin Duoduo's letter couldn't fit in my brocade box, so I took a large cabinet for storage, and I locked it for safety.Xia Shengnan once asked me what treasures were in the cabinet, and I said perfunctorily: "Toys from my childhood." I was right, the cabinet contained the things I brought back from Pingzhou, and the dolls given by my brother They were also locked in a closet.
