Two trees make a forest

Chapter 42 The Yard

Fortunately, this meal was suppressed by Xie Nan, Wu Ying did not make any more willful actions.The four of them ate in peace.After eating, Xie Nan consciously went to pay the bill, but Wu Ying looked at Mu Xizi and pursed her lips but dared not speak.Finally, the four of us parted ways at the entrance of the small restaurant.Seeing Wu Ying's reluctant eyes, I quickly took Mu Xizi out of his sight.

"Are they your classmates?" Mu Xizi put the small leather bag in front of him with both hands.

After staying away from Wu Ying, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed: "They are junior brothers. When I first came to report, I was received by Wu Ying, so we knew each other that way." Why didn't I see that Wu Ying was just a guy at the beginning of the term? Dog skin plaster, once it is pasted, it cannot be torn off.Had I known this earlier, I would have kept my distance from him.

Mu Xizi didn't answer, but walked slowly, students from University A were among the passers-by.Mu Xizi smiled slightly: "Why didn't I know there was this door when I was studying here."

I turned my head and looked at her side face: "Then where do you usually go in University A?" I spoke slowly because my heart was beating very fast. A big is really big.I'm really curious about where Mu Xizi will stop.

Mu Xizi smiled at me, then tilted his head: "Come with me."

The answer will be revealed soon, I followed Mu Xizi every step of the way.Our steps became a lot lighter for some reason, maybe because the sun was very warm and we were in a good mood.The two of us walked through the bamboo forest path, the wisteria corridor, and the small fountain pool. . .I saw students resting and reading here, children riding bikes and playing games here, and old people walking and chatting here.Some places I've been to, some places I haven't been.Walking side by side with Mu Xizi, I feel like a lifetime away.Such a leisurely mood made all my fatigue dissipate.

Mu Xizi led me to a lush path.It is not accurate to say that it is a trail, because it can be integrated into a car to drive in and out.There are towering trees on both sides of the road, which just cover the bright sun, and there are some light spots on the bluestone road.Walking in the meantime, it seems that you are in the fresh and refreshing spring, and you will really forget that it is now entering the hot summer.On the left side of the road is an artificial lake with a pavilion built on the lake, and the winding path can reach the small pavilion in the middle of the lake.I saw some old people playing the erhu, playing the flute and practicing their voices in the kiosk.On the right are the corners of some red-brick houses.Now the city is developing at a high speed, there are many tall buildings, reinforced concrete, and some even have no bricks and are all glass.Those gray brick houses and red brick houses with a strong sense of age have long been abandoned by the times.But I remember that my grandma once gave me a science popularization, that those who could live in red brick houses in those years were rich and powerful people.The craftsmanship of the red brick house is more complicated. Living in it makes people feel warm in winter and cool in summer.The road is too quiet, and every pedestrian has a kind face, which brings me back to my childhood.

Unknowingly, I followed Mu Xizi and stopped at an iron gate. The railing of this iron gate was still entwined with vines, and the fresh green against the rust showed the tranquility of time.Mu Xizi took out the key from the small leather bag and opened the door. I saw all kinds of potted plants in the yard.Deep in the winding path is a two-story red brick house.There are even two short fields on the left side of the yard, which brings me back to my childhood. There is also a field in front of my house, but it is longer and more numerous, and peppers, eggplants, and corn are planted in it. . .Mu Xizi didn't stop, I followed closely.Looking at the potted plants in the yard, some are scattered on the ground, some are placed on wooden shelves, and some are placed on stone pier.There are also various types, and the only ones I know are roses, camellias, chrysanthemums, roses, and pothos. . .Walking to the door, I also saw a large vat with round lotus leaves lying in it, surrounded by the unhidden flower buds.When Mu Xizi opened the door, I looked around the yard again. It was luxuriant, but it was neglected and looked a bit messy.

"Come in." Mu Xizi opened the door and walked in.I followed in but didn't step in right away, because I was habitually looking for slippers so as not to dirty the clean floor of Mu Xizi's house.Mu Xizi smiled suddenly: "It's okay, there is no need to change shoes here." I blushed a little, and walked in with my head down.

Mu Xizi pushed open the window of the living room, and the sunlight came in.I saw countless dust jumping up, saw Mu Xizi's straight back, and saw the slightly raised corners of his mouth under the sun.Walking slowly, I stood side by side with Mu Xizi. Through this narrow window, I saw the messy garden.A kind of warmth filled my heart, and I also curled the corners of my mouth.

"This is my grandma's house. The flowers in the garden are all planted by my grandma. When she is not in class, she likes to play with flowers and plants. My grandpa picked up a hoe and dug out two fields. When I was young, my dad was very busy. I I am often sent here to accompany my grandparents. I am small, but I like to hold a small bench, stand on it, and watch the busy grandpa and grandma from here. Under the sun, they are busy in their own way, but they will look at it from time to time Each other. Occasionally, I will look at each other and smile, and continue to work on my own. I will cover my mouth and laugh at them. Now, grandma is sick in bed, and grandpa and grandma live in a place where life is more convenient. Grandma is not here, here It was left unused. Occasionally, a servant would come to clean it, but who would really take pity on those flowers and plants." After Mu Xizi finished speaking, she looked at me, and I could see that her eyes were full of sadness.

"I, I, I." I couldn't see the sad Mu Xizi, so I immediately responded.Seeing a trace of confusion in Mu Xizi's eyes, I immediately explained: "Didn't you give me a bunch of keys. I can take care of these flowers and plants." After speaking, I threw the most sincere smile at Mu Xizi, hoping that she would Don't be so sad anymore.

Mu Xizi lowered his head embarrassingly and raised it again: "You are not angry with me, so you never came?"

What Mu Xizi said was right, I did have some complaints about her in my heart, so I kept the bunch of keys and that notebook at the bottom of the cabinet all the time, intending to never see the light of day.But ever since I met Mu Xizi, my anger has long since dissipated.At this moment, I really feel a little embarrassed for my petty mind.I forced myself to smile and said, "I'm not angry with you. I'm the only one who just went to University A, I'm not familiar with it, and I have a lot of homework, so I forgot."

"You're not angry anymore." Mu Xizi leaned forward slightly, staring at me mischievously, I felt her gaze was a little hot.

Turning my head slightly, I was completely defeated: "I'm not angry anymore."

"I knew that Duoduo is not a stingy person." Mu Xizi also seemed to be relieved, and she relaxed all of a sudden. She stretched her waist and emphasized, "Duoduo, I will leave grandma's yard to you." I clicked head on.Mu Xizi made another warning sign and looked at me seriously: "I will come to check on the holiday."

When I mentioned the holiday, I remembered that Mu Xizi was going abroad, and I felt a little uncomfortable: "When are you going to America?"

"August." Mu Xizi said casually.I thought in my heart that the time I could spend with her was running out.If I want to go back to Pingzhou, there are only a few days left.All of a sudden, I feel that the sun here is a bit cool.

After locking the door, Mu Xizi and I walked back to the main campus.From time to time, we chatted about our childhood, and everyone laughed.Not long after, Mu Xizi's phone rang, and she told me she had an appointment in the afternoon, so I accompanied her to the parking lot.She waved goodbye to me, and she drove away without a cloud, but left me with joy and loss.The joy of losing and regaining, the melancholy of gaining and losing.I dragged my laziness towards the school gate and prepared to take a car to go to work.

Along the way, I took out my phone and looked through the calendar.I have already bought the ticket back to Pingzhou.But now I don't want to go back.After getting out of the car, I didn't go to the restaurant immediately, but wandered on the road.In the end, I took out my mobile phone and called home. It was my dad who answered the phone. He didn't give me any buffer time, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Duo Duo, what's the matter?" My heart twitched when I thought of my dad's anxious appearance on the other end of the phone.

"Dad," I didn't dare to open my mouth after shouting, and walked a few steps back and forth before saying, "I don't want to go back this summer vacation."

"What's wrong?" My dad asked anxiously.

I pursed my lips and opened my mouth: "The professor assigned homework, so I can look up information at school. I want to continue to work during the holidays, so that I can save money to buy a laptop. It will be more convenient to write papers with it." I searched a lot It's not a reason, my heart was pounding, and I walked on the road anxiously, biting my finger for fear that my dad would not agree.

Unexpectedly, my dad was silent for a while, and then opened the mouth in his deep voice: "You can make up your own mind when you grow up. It doesn't matter if you don't want to come back. But you have to take care of yourself at school. If you don't have enough money, just say it."

With my dad's consent, I jumped up in high definition, and promised excitedly: "Okay, no problem, Dad. You don't have to worry about my living expenses." After hanging up the phone, I happily walked to the restaurant .As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I saw that everyone gave me strange looks.I suddenly remembered yesterday's faux pas, and cautiously went to the locker room.

"You were fine yesterday." The third senior sister was also in the locker room.I shook my head.The third senior sister reminded: "Yesterday you left without saying a word and almost messed up the foreman's birthday. She is a little unhappy now. Pay more attention to your work today." I gave her a thankful look.

Sure enough, as soon as I changed my clothes and came out, I saw the foreman looking at me with disdain.I lowered my head in shame. It was true that I made a mistake first, and we all recognized that the foreman was a bit stingy.I straightened up my energy and prayed that I would get through today safely.Picking up the rag in my hand, I started to clean it up.

This meal made me acquainted with Duoduo's two friends, Wu Ying and Xie Nan.The two of them had very little communication, but from Wu Ying's small eyes, I knew that his obedient little wife's appearance should all come from Xie Nan who was sitting next to him.But seeing Duoduo eating in a serious manner, I don't know if she knows or doesn't know.After the meal, we left separately and asked Mr. A a lot about where I like to stay.Grandma's yard immediately appeared in my mind, so I took Duoduo there.She was supposed to be the first person I took.The yard is very messy, I know that she has never used the key given to Duoduo, and I even guess that she has never used the notebook that was given to her.There was a trace of sadness in my heart.Open the window, I want to resolve the conflict between me and Duoduo.So I made it miserable on purpose, and Duoduo agreed to take care of the flowers and plants without thinking.I laughed, feeling that drama is not in vain.But childhood envy of grandparents is true.We talked, and although she said she wasn't angry, she won if she came.Originally, I wanted to stay with Duoduo for a while, but Zhang Yue's call came.She missed the appointment yesterday and made it up today.I can't delay, so I have to say goodbye to Duoduo.Seeing Duoduo watching me off in the rearview mirror, I smiled. Now at least in China, we still have a chance to meet.
