Two trees make a forest

The holidays after the college entrance examination are the longest. We don’t have the pressure to go to school and do homework during the holidays. As soon as the time comes, we can just pack our bags and go to a distant place.Everyone was immersed in the happy atmosphere, but I was always depressed because Mu Xizi never wrote back to me.I was afraid that the postman would lose it, so I mentioned in the second letter that I was finally admitted to University A.But these two letters were like sinking into the ocean, and my heart also sank.Mu Xizi's letter didn't arrive for a long time, so I thought about it, anyway, she's at A University, so I'd better go find her when I'm reporting.So I forgot about Mu Xizi's non-reply letter.

With a sister as powerful as me, Tian En's life is naturally difficult. People praise his sister everywhere, which invisibly puts a huge pressure on him. So after the holiday, he started to study hard. At home, in bookstores, in libraries, Run at three o'clock.Looking at his hurried back every day, I recalled my running in those years.Everyone is repeating the same thing, as long as they have their own goals.Now, the goal has been achieved, but I have no energy like a lost soul, either lying on the balcony and counting the clouds, or lying on the bed and counting the stars.My dad was worried if I was overjoyed.

"Duo Duo, you have worked so hard to pass the exam, what do you need dad to buy for you?" My dad came to talk to me today with a meager salary.

I sat down and thought about it in my mind: Grandma is not in good health, so I need to save some money just in case, Tianen is a sophomore in high school, and seeing his hard work, there is no problem in getting into college, so I have to save his tuition fees, and I have already passed the exam. If you go to school, you need to pay a tuition fee.Looking around our house again, nothing has changed in more than ten years.Other families have new home appliances one after another. My family has basically not bought anything in the past few years in order to save money for college.I thought about it, and finally said, "Dad, install a landline. From now on, Tianen can check the score at home."

My dad didn't know why, and his eyes were sore all of a sudden, and he wiped the bitterness from the eye sockets with his callused, old and dry hands.My dad didn't talk much, but he went straight to the heart: "Duo Duo has really grown up. Okay, okay, Dad will pretend right away."

Seeing my dad standing up, his stalwart figure blocked part of the sunlight, I sighed in my heart: my dad is really old, when he stood up when he was young, he could take away all the dazzling light for me.My nose was sour and I lowered my head.

My family finally connected to the phone. Tianen was very happy and kept calling his friends to report, and he would call his friends in the future.I leaned against the door and watched him, a boy chattering and holding on to the phone, it was really funny.Grandma saw me and waved to me, and I walked into grandma's room.She still lives in the same room as Tian En.My dad asked her to come and live in the same room with me, and my grandma always said, "No no no, I have to study a lot, and I snore, no no no."

Grandma took my hand and sat on the edge of the bed, then got up by herself, and staggered to the side of the cabinet.I remember that cabinet, where grandma's private money was hidden.I watched grandma holding her old handkerchief, and my eyes became moist again.Grandma carefully put her old handkerchief on the bed, then opened it layer by layer, and said in a low voice on purpose: "Duoduo, you are going to go so far alone soon, it is always good to bring more money with you." I can't walk anymore, and someone at home needs to take care of Tian En. I discussed it with your father, and he will take you there." After finishing speaking, grandma put two hundred coins and two fifty notes Come out and give it to me, carefully hand it over to my hands, and don’t forget to ask, “Don’t worry about Tian’en, his, I’ll keep it for him. It’s yours. Buy whatever you need when you arrive at school, But don't treat yourself badly."

My eye sockets have been blurred by tears, and I can't see grandma's wrinkled face clearly, nor can I see grandma's narrowed eyes, nor can I see grandma's withered lips.But I really felt grandma's withered hands holding mine tightly, and I was listening to the deep love in grandma's simple words.I'm really, really happy to have a grandma who loves me so much.My tears fell, and I saw the corners of grandma's mouth, and my heart was filled with warmth: "Grandma, I don't need it. My dad will send me living expenses. You can keep the money."

Grandma shook her head, and pressed the money into my palm vigorously: "It belongs to your father, this is grandma's wish. Grandma is not around, you have to take care of yourself. The outside is not as good as home. If you are wronged, you will beat me. Call. It doesn’t matter if you can’t read any more.”

I jumped into my grandma's thin body happily, and kept yelling: "Grandma, grandma."

Grandma responded to me happily in her old voice: "Yes, yes, my good granddaughter. Our good granddaughter of the Lin family."

Back in the room, I carefully put the money my grandma gave me in the brocade box.Feeling a little bit reluctant, I finally drew a [-] and held it in my hand to keep it warm.I decided not to use the money.I have to keep it, this is proof that grandma has me in her heart.

My dad took me to the wholesale market when he was free.There was a huge crowd of people, and everyone was preaching loudly. If you don't pay attention, you really can't hear what the other party is saying.From what to wear to what to use, my dad led me around.I watched my dad fight with you and others for a dollar or two, and he stood by himself like a fool, unable to say anything.Along the way, my dad and I were still running around with odds and ends.My dad keeps asking me what else I need, but I'm always speechless.Seeing how my dad was working hard for me, I felt melancholy in my heart: I'm leaving my dad, I'm leaving my house, and I'm going to go out to study alone.Panic thoughts flashed through my mind.

"Duo Duo, what do you like?" It's already noon, and my dad has taken me here for more than two hours, and some sweat oozes from his forehead.

I looked at the dazzling array of suitcases in front of me, and didn't know what to choose. When my dad asked, I just pointed at them.The peddler greeted happily: "This little girl is really discerning. This is a new model just arrived in our store. It is both beautiful and practical. I will open it for you to have a look." Then, the peddler opened the box and kept introducing it. good.My dad stood looking at it and kept asking questions. After the two of them had a verbal battle, my dad bought the suitcase at half the price.

"A lot, try it." My dad pushed the booty towards me and looked at me excitedly.I pulled the suitcase and tried it on the road, and it felt fine.My dad was satisfied with the payment.

This is the first time my dad and I went out to buy so many things.It was also the first time I discovered that my dad could chop like this.Seeing that the back of my dad's shirt was soaked, I smiled smugly.I enjoyed it and didn't want to leave this place.

I am the little champion in our yard, and the neighbors arranged for my dad to set up a few tables for me, which was lively and lively.My dad was very happy, so he agreed.In mid-August, eight tables were set up in the yard, and the big guys were busy preparing banquets for me.I was so flattered by such treatment that I didn't dare to go downstairs. I read idle books in my room.

During the holiday, Xu Wei made several appointments, and everyone got together and broke up again.She Lin was the first one among us to leave.In the end, Zhang Liang was pressured by his father to repeat his studies for a year.Xu Wei left later than me.I was packing my things in the room when the phone rang, and Tian En called out: "Sister, call."

I went out to answer, and it was Xu Wei's voice: "Your train tomorrow?"

"Yes. What's the matter?" Xu Wei didn't speak, I thought he was disconnected, "Is there something?"

"I won't go see you off." Xu Wei said casually, which made me laugh.After a pause, he started to say again: "You wait for me at the gate of the yard, I bought you a gift." His behavior caught me by surprise, I didn't prepare a gift for him, so I just received it and didn't give it away. not good.Xu Wei added: "She Lin also has them, so don't think too much about them."

"But I didn't prepare a gift for you, so I deserve it." I laughed.

"Just go downstairs and wait." After speaking, he hung up.I also hung up the phone and walked downstairs slowly to wait for him.

Opening the gift box from Xu Wei, there is a pen inside, which is exquisite and beautiful.I am happy to take it out and appreciate it carefully.Xu Wei explained: "You are the same as She Lin. Zhang Liang waits for him to pass the exam next year before sending him off."

"Thank you." I put the pen back into the pen case and thanked Xu Wei solemnly.Xu Wei shook his head and wanted to say something, but left without saying anything.Parting is always a sad thing, if you don't say it like this, everyone will remember it in your heart.

As soon as I turned around, I looked at the five-story building in the yard by the moonlight and lights.This place holds many of my memories, the most important memories of my family and Mu Xizi.When I think that I will leave tomorrow and have to say goodbye to this small building, I feel a little uncomfortable.

When I got home, Tian En sat by my bed, and stood up when he saw me: "Sister." I answered, and he lowered his head shyly, "I'm going to school tomorrow, so I won't see you off. You Be careful." I replied again, and he hurried away.When I lowered my head, I saw a beautiful notebook on the table. I opened it, and inside was Tianen's handwriting: For my sister.In an instant, my eye sockets were moist.

Sitting at the table, I looked at Xu Wei's pen, Tianen's notebook, my dad's packed suitcase, and my grandma's money. I felt that life was so beautiful and wonderful.I suddenly couldn't bear to part with this place, the place where I lived for more than ten years, the parents who grew up with me, and the ups and downs here.Lying on the table, under the dim light, I looked at the photo frame on the table. It was a commemorative photo taken by the family at the photo studio when my grandma was on her 30th birthday.My nose is sour: "Mom, I miss you. I suddenly feel that I am so selfish. Shanghai is so far away. It takes more than [-] hours to take the train. I miss my dad, grandma, and Tianen." , My teardrops dripped on the table.

Lin Duoduo's letter came again, I didn't open it in time, I opened the letter after all the luggage was packed.The letter was still telling the good news that she came to A University.Looking at the big and small suitcases, I don't think the news is so good.In two days to board the plane, I hesitated whether to write her a letter, and finally gave up.The next day, my aunt asked me what else I needed. I asked for the money and went directly to the electrical appliance store to buy a new computer, but I still had to give it as a gift.I entrusted it to Aunt Liu and asked her to pass it on to Lin Duoduo, attaching an unsent letter.Before Lin Duoduo came to report, I had already inquired about her college, class, and even dormitory.Xia Shengnan was very happy about my study abroad. She and Liu Ziyang arrived in the United States one step ahead of me.Before leaving, my grandfather gave me some people's contact information and asked me to take good care of myself outside.My dad gave me a few cards directly, and the password is my birthday.Let me not treat myself badly.My aunt is the most caring, her friend lives near the school and can take care of me.The second uncle is more hateful, let me get ready, his son, my cousin is coming soon.On the day of take-off, I once again urged Aunt Liu to hand over these things to Lin Duoduo, but Aunt Liu just nodded slightly.At the airport, only my aunt came to see me off.Grandma needs to be taken care of by grandpa, my dad is away on a business trip, and my second uncle is at work.Finally, my aunt and I hugged and said goodbye.Sitting on the plane, seeing things getting smaller and smaller, I thought to myself: I hope Lin Duoduo will not blame me, and I hope she will still be here when I return.No one knows what the future will turn into. I close my eyes and feel the weightlessness of my heart.

The author has something to say:

Mu Xizi didn't say good-bye to Lin Duoduo every time he parted.
