My green plums are very sour

The day after I broke up with A Rui, I went back to the provincial capital, curled up in the house like a snail.In the next few days, I also minimized the time I went out, and almost completely lived a life of two points and one line.

Although I kept saying that I would not hide from Ning Ran so cowardly, in fact I have been avoiding her for a long time.

It seems that as long as we don't meet each other, we won't think of those things that we avoid talking about, we don't have to face the ignorance, stupidity and self-righteousness of youth, and we don't have to silently repent for the harm we have caused to each other.

Sometimes I even feel that although we have known each other for so many years, I don't know her as well as I thought.In other words, we don't know from which day, we are no longer the same as each other.

Once a person has something on his mind, she will gradually become another stranger.Although she still wears the original skin, the underlying thoughts have long since changed beyond recognition.

I don't know what kind of ending will happen between me and Ning Ran, but I gradually realized that she may be my fate, a catastrophe in my life.

Otherwise, why do I always appear in front of her in such a mess.

I vaguely remember the last time, and the last time, when we met, how I was drenched like a fool, because I couldn't breathe through my nose, I could only grin and breathe heavily, and finally I heard Ning Ran say to me: " That's it, goodbye."

My disgraced look was not much different from when we first met in my house.It's just that once we started our bad relationship, and the other time it was like a full stop that brought this farce to an end.

Have you ever regretted meeting her?Once upon a time, I also asked myself in my heart.

The answer, of course, is no.No matter what my current mood is or how I view our relationship, I cannot deny the happiness and beauty that Ning Ran once brought me.When the memory flashes back in my mind, the one that jumps out the fastest is always her smiling like a flower when she was young.

From the first time I saw her, it has been engraved in my eyes, in my heart.

================================================== =======

I was never a precocious kid.When I was in kindergarten, I didn't understand anything, and was often bullied by other children because of my weak physique.When I graduated from preschool, I was not yet old enough to enter elementary school, but because my family worried that I would become very naughty after another year of preschool, they tried their best to send me to elementary school.

On the day I went to sign up, the teacher who charged me just glanced at me and immediately frowned: "This kid is too young."

My mother hurriedly replied: "It's not too young, it's not too young." I was afraid that people would not accept me.

The teacher opened the account book, looked at it, and said, "It's quite small."

I stood by bewildered.In fact, at that time, I had no idea what it was doing, and I didn't understand what going to school was all about.

"What is five plus two?" the teacher asked suddenly.

I felt so bewildered that I couldn't even understand her question, so I didn't dare to meet her eyes, so I just lowered my head and bit my lips.There is no doubt that I learned nothing at all in kindergarten and preschool, and I was really a child through and through.

The teacher and my mother are waiting for my answer, but my mind is blank, and maybe my face has already shown a look of embarrassment.

At this time, I vaguely heard a little boy who joined in the fun quietly making a sound.

"seven."

I quickly turned around and glanced at him, his eyeballs were darting around like a thief.Now I'm sure he's helping me.

"Equal to seven." I looked up and replied.

I saw that the eyes behind the teacher's glasses were not as serious and cold as before.I suddenly realized that I seemed to have passed this level.

Thinking about it now, I seem to have maintained this kind of dazed state during the first year of officially starting compulsory education.At the end of the school year, an elder asked me if I had scored double percent in the exam. I wondered why for a while. Is there anything to be proud of?

When other children had already learned the importance of getting full marks, I was still thinking about going to the countryside to play in the mud, digging peanuts and roasting sweet potatoes. The development of my thinking was far from keeping up with my actual age.

Maybe it's because I was bullied by other children since I was a child. I don't like school very much, and I don't like going to school.If it wasn't for A Rui and I being in the same class, maybe I wouldn't even have a single friend in class.

I have known A Rui longer than Ning Ran.Both of our parents work in the same unit, and our family houses are in the same neighborhood.According to the elders, we played together when we were still wearing crotch pants.The whole residential area knows that Zhou Sirui from the old Zhou family and Shu Yu from the old Shu family are good friends who are inseparable.

The residential area we lived in at that time was right by the river, and both sides of the river were well-groomed, and there were many recreational facilities and fitness equipment for the elderly and children.But the reason why A Rui and I like to run to the river is to catch fish and shells by the river.

There is a small pier for docking cruise ships by the river, and you can go directly to the water from the shore.The place we go most often is there, and we love to run there when we have nothing to do. We take a jar cut out of a 2-liter Coke bottle to hold snails and mussel shells, and sometimes we can use it to scoop up small fish fry and tadpoles.

On the afternoon when I met Ning Ran, A Rui and I soaked by the river for several hours, our faces were flushed from the sun, and we were covered in sweat.

I remember that day I was wearing a cotton gown with red flowers on a green background. It was made by my mother from the cotton she pulled from the store. She said that the clothes made of this material were very cool.

My mother, like most women of the same age, likes to dress up her children colorfully, always thinking that this is the only way to look like a girl.But to be honest, I have disliked bright colors since I was a child. If it weren't for my mother's "prestige", I would definitely not wear it like this.

Although the riverside is full of willows, the long willows cover most of the sunlight and cast a large area of ​​shade, preventing us from getting sunstroke.However, the temperature in midsummer is always high, coupled with the countless cicadas singing in unison on the trunk, it is enough to make us feel irritable and sweaty.

What's more terrible is the raging mosquitoes on the riverside, which bit us all over our hands and legs. When we scratched, there was a red mark, densely bulging on the skin, which was very spectacular.

Children are not so particular.When you sweat on your body, just wipe it with your hands or clothes, and you're done with just a wipe.I don't care what smell my hands have soaked in the river water, or whether my hands are stained with mucus and moss on the shells of snails and clams, just wipe them on my clothes, and wipe them on my cheeks and forehead.

We only know that today's harvest is quite good. Eleven snails and two mussel shells were raised in half a tank of river water. It was fishy, ​​but it was quite a sense of accomplishment.

If I had known that I would meet Ning Ran and her parents when I stepped into the house, maybe I wouldn't have made myself so bad.

A Rui and I bounced happily all the way back to my house, opened the door and found that the house was very lively, my parents were chatting with another pair of uncles and aunts, and there was a skinny little girl next to me.

When my parents heard the sound of pushing the door, they looked at us almost at the same time. When they saw A Rui and I were in a mess and carrying a jar of smelly aquatic products in our hands, our faces stiffened instantly, looking very embarrassed.

The pair of uncles, aunts and the little girl also found us, and the room was immediately quiet.

A Rui seemed to be more nervous than me, she gently tugged at the corner of my clothes with her hands behind her back, and looked like she had been caught for doing something bad.

I thought to myself, why are you in such a hurry, shouldn't it be me who should feel guilty?

We both stood there stupidly, not knowing how to react.

It was my mother who reacted quickly and told us to close the door quickly, and then said angrily: "You guys went out to the wild again? Look at this body, how old you are, how come you don't know how to be clean."

The two of us put the jar on the ground and smiled mischievously. It was really embarrassing to embarrass ourselves in front of so many people.

Unfamiliar uncles and aunts didn't seem to mind, looked at us and asked with a smile: "One of these two children is Shu Yu?"

My dad nodded, raised his hand and pointed at me, and said, "Yes, this is Shuyu."

"The child next to him is A Rui from Lao Zhou's family, and his name is Zhou Sirui."

"These two brats are very naughty. Every time they run out to play, they feel like they've rolled in mud. They're nothing like your family, Ning Ran, a girl from Duo Siwen."

A Rui and I looked at each other at the same time when we heard this, curled our lips, a little unconvinced, and then turned our gazes to Ning Ran who was sitting quietly next to him.

This is the first time I have observed her carefully.

Fair and clear skin, the combination of facial features is very comfortable, the mouth is a little bit big, the ruddy color is very natural, and there is a hint of smile in the clear eyes.She's a nice, likable girl.Just too skinny, a little one like me.She was wearing a simple suspender skirt, and she looked as cute as a docile doll.

I noticed that she was smiling at us, her eyes wandering over A Rui and me very vaguely.

Those sweat-soaked fabrics were sticking to the body like pickled pickles, and Ning Ran quietly looked at us as if he had spread us out and left us in the sun.

I suddenly felt a burst of embarrassment, and I couldn't help but feel ashamed.At this moment, even I can't help but want to shake my head at myself, look at others.

Although our temperament is wild, we are still girls after all, who would want to be compared by others.

The unconvinced mood that was clamoring for a minute ago disappeared.I know Ari feels the same way as I do.Because out of the corner of my eye I saw her wringing her fingers wryly.

Later, the three of us talked about this scene many times. A Rui and I hoped that she was not laughing at us at that time, but Ning Ran told us very firmly after laughing: "That's right, it was just laughing at that time." You two. I've literally never seen such a scruffy girl, and you two are tied for first place."

We were so angry that we poked our teeth secretly.
