August 31st is a Saturday. City No. [-] Middle School and Senior Three have a day off, and return to school for self-study the next night. Senior One and Senior Two are scheduled to report for cleaning during the day on the [-]st, and classes will start on Monday the [-]nd.

Tong Zhi was not like in previous years. She landed on the 31st and rushed to report, but returned to Shuiyun City on the 26th.

"Because of the typhoon." Tong Zhi came to Bi Qiannian's house for dinner, and ordered to eat his long-cherished Huaishan roast pork, and in the afternoon, he copied Bi Qiannian's summer homework.

"Didn't the typhoon come before?" Bi Qiannian asked him, bringing over a bowl of chopped kiwi fruit.

Tong Zhi took a toothpick and ate a piece, "It seems to be a double typhoon this time? I didn't pay attention to the two eyes. My dad said that if the typhoon comes again, the flight will be affected. It's just a few days, you don't go out. , the bookstore is over?"

"Tomorrow is the last day." Bi Qiannian replied, and then muttered in a low voice, "This summer is so strange, thunderstorms don't come, and typhoons come."

Tong Zhi smiled at him, "How long has it been since the beginning of autumn? My mother told me that it was summer heat a few days ago." She added, "Stepmother."

"... Auntie still understands this?"

"Isn't it? I really like our traditional culture. On Fridays, I went to the teahouse with my dad to drink tea. My brother was pressed by her and told ancient poems. I laughed so hard." Tong Zhi recalled the days in Rock City, " Hey, see you again next year."

Tong Zhi copied homework without stopping to talk, and kept sharing interesting stories in Jicheng with Bi Qiannian, and told them with pictures and texts in conjunction with the photos in his mobile phone. Bi Qiannian liked to listen to him, and occasionally talked about the current situation in Shuiyun City , the main content is Ning Zhanmei.

With a flash of inspiration, Tong Zhi connected the name Ning Zhanmei with the person mentioned in the video call with Bi Qiannian before, "The one that Liu Jingshu arranged? The basketball game, Zhou Jian, we had a video call that day, right?"

Bi Qiannian nodded, "It's him." He didn't expect Liu Jingshu to be a prophecy, and he and Ning Zhan's eyebrows were also regarded as a frown.

Tong Zhi remembered that Bi Qiannian denied the speculation about what he and Ning Zhanmei had, and did not continue to ask. Instead, he changed the subject and talked about his plans for this year's school celebration performance.He has learned to dance for more than ten years. From elementary school to high school, there is always him on stage. "I like dancing, and I also like the feeling of being on stage." Bi Qiannian always envies him.

It was rare for Bi Qian to be there at dinner, and the childish chatter made the dinner table very lively, Bi Qian finally relaxed a lot after a long day of work.

"Auntie, will our school be able to produce the provincial number one scholar this year?" Tong Zhi asked, "You must have brought it. I heard that there was a very powerful student master in class one in my freshman year of high school."

"Yes," Bi Qian smiled, and gave Tong Zhi a piece of meat, "My name is Gao Tianyu, and his grades have always been very good and stable." He sighed again, "It's just that the conditions at home are not very good, and my parents are working outside. There is only one grandfather who is not in good health, and sometimes he has to hurry back when something goes wrong with the old man.”

Bi Qiannian heard Bi Qian mention this senior, and met him a few times, he is a shy but not timid boy, very polite.Bi Qian also visited Gao Tianyu's home on behalf of the school during the Chinese New Year this year. Gao Tianyu brought a bag of sweet potatoes to the family home when school started, and said that he was grateful for Teacher Bi's care and his grandfather's kindness.

Gao Tianyu and him are considered to be acquainted, and they greeted each other with a smile when they met at school, and even asked if they wanted to help him with mathematics and physics. Mine." The boy said sincerely.

But Bi Qiannian declined, he didn't have the nerve to ask Gao Tianyu, who was in the first grade, to help him, and Xu Yun was enough.

"Brother Tianyu is in good condition now?" Bi Qiannian was still a little worried about this senior with a solid personality.

"It's very good. The quiz at the beginning of school is the second in the grade." Bi Qian recalled, "In the third year of high school, the elementary school was given 20 days off. Very carefully."

"Qian Nian also works part-time, and Auntie also wants to praise Qian Nian." Tong Zhi interrupted.

Bi Qian smiled, "He works part-time because he thinks he doesn't have enough pocket money, so he saves money to buy picture albums, snacks and gifts for you every year."

Bi Qiannian didn't refute, Tong Zhi laughed and knew it was true. Bi Qiannian didn't have much pocket money, and his family situation was not as good as that of his two friends, but he always wanted to treat them better. Everything is well thought out and not cheap.

Tong Zhi didn't have a good heart, and would happily accept it every time, even with an exaggerated sip. Xu Yun told Bi Qiannian in private that they are still young and don't like these things.Bi Qiannian knew that Xu Yun was considerate of him, but he just replied with a gentle smile, "It's not very expensive, I just want to buy it for you two, only once a year, and I usually don't spend much money."

In the final analysis, something worth three or four hundred yuan was not cheap for Bi Qiannian at this time, but it was not considered extravagant and wasteful. He just wanted to give better things to Xu Yun and Tong Zhi, so it was not expensive. That's good, but he is very happy that the money earned from part-time work is used to treat friends well, which is a kind of "hands-on" in disguise.

Before leaving, Tong Zhi took out a kraft paper bag for Bi Qiannian as if by magic.

"What?" Bi Qiannian was puzzled, "Where did you get it? I didn't see you carrying a bag."

"It's in the porch." Tongzhi replied, "I won't make it difficult for you to try. I'll watch it in winter. Let's go."

"Be careful on the road."

"okay."

Bi Qiannian opened it after the door was closed. No wonder it was winter. Tong Zhi gave him a navy blue cashmere scarf, which felt good to the touch, and the label was specially cut off.

Bi Qiannian rubbed his face with the scarf, very happy.

The next day was Bi Qiannian's last day on duty at the bookstore. The proprietress bought him a small cake, explaining that next year Qiannian would be in her third year of high school, so she probably wouldn't come again, but she would come to the store to buy more books.

"I'll put your favorite picture album at the door of the bookstore when you come." The proprietress teased him, and Bi Qiannian responded with an embarrassed smile.

Ning Zhanmei knew that this was his last visit to the bookstore, so he arrived early and stayed with him for a day.

After Bi Qiannian got his salary and walked out of the store side by side with him, he rarely said with emotion, "It's so fast, summer is over."

"Why do you say summer is over?" Bi Qiannian said, "I don't really feel autumn yet. The trees are still green and the temperature hasn't dropped much."

"Who said that?" Ning Zhanmei asked him.

"Childish," Bi Qiannian replied, "I just came back yesterday and came to my house for dinner."

"Oh." Ning Zhanmei replied somewhat artificially, "He and Xu Yun always go to your house for dinner? Is there no fire at home like mine?"

Bi Qiannian knew that he was pretending to be jealous, and he was used to it these days, "Where is no one in your house? Didn't you say last time that the beans made by auntie are very similar to those made by auntie, and they are delicious."

Ning Zhan glanced at him, but said nothing.

Bi Qiannian smiled secretly, "I don't really feel like cooking today, I'm so tired from cooking."

Ning Zhanmei squeezed Bi Qiannian's hand and used some strength. Bi Qiannian thought it was amused, so he continued.

"But you have just received your salary, and you have been a bookstore assistant for so long," said the little girls who were responsible for the books and periodicals at the top and decorated the facade to attract shopping malls, "shall I treat you to dinner tonight?"

Ning Zhanmei laughed out loud, "You've turned bad, Bi Qiannian."

"I didn't learn it from you."

Ning Zhanmei originally thought that he would find a restaurant to eat in the shopping mall, but Bi Qiannian took the bus to the bank of the Yunjiang River and found a roast fish restaurant.

"A few days ago, I suddenly remembered that I ate many stalls in Shuiyun with you, do you still remember?" Bi Qiannian asked him.

Of course Ning Zhanmei remembered that when he first came to Shuiyun City, Bi Qiannian agreed to take him to visit Shuiyun, and found a stall in Shuiyun City, many of which Bi Qiannian himself had never eaten.

"This restaurant also has grilled fish, but at the time I thought the river was too far away so I didn't come here. I remember that you really wanted to eat, and the fish here is indeed the most authentic, so I wanted to show you a taste." Bi Qiannian smiled Looking at him, two pear dimples bent out again, and there was some sense of reward in the words.

Of course Ning Zhanmei was happy, he didn't dare to secretly kiss Bi Qiannian's cheek outside, for fear that Bi Qiannian would throw him into the river, so he just rubbed his hand on the back of Bi Qiannian's hand, bowed his head and said thank you.

The two sat at a foldable wooden table outside the shop, next to the Yunjiang River.

The river breeze is mixed with a faint fishy smell, the sun is gradually approaching the river surface, casting a piece of floating golden, and there are still several fishing boats on the river collecting their nets.

Bi Qiannian narrowed his eyes and looked at the river, Ning Zhan looked at him, his black pupils reflected the dusk of Shuiyun City, autumn, he felt a sense of peace of mind, autumn seemed to be a very stable season.

Just now when Bi Qiannian was ordering food, he asked not to have too many peppers. Ning Zhan raised his eyebrows and enjoyed the way Bi Qiannian thought about him. In fact, he has been able to eat some spicy food in Shuiyun City in the past two months. .

"The water surface seems to be higher than before." Bi Qiannian said.

"Really?" Ning Zhanmei glanced at Jiang Mian, "I didn't pay much attention to it. Maybe it was raining a few days ago."

Bi Qiannian hummed, looked away, and found that Ning Zhan was looking at him for a moment, behind him was a brilliant sunset, and the river wind blew his short hair up on his forehead, revealing his sharp eyebrows, and was caught by the dusk again. A layer of hazy gentleness is covered with tenderness.

Ning Zhan smiled at him.

The waiter brought up the grilled fish, Bi Qiannian came back to his senses, and dismantled the sterilized bowls and chopsticks in a panic.

He just suddenly felt very romantic, and Ning Zhanmei came to the river to eat fish, and it seemed so romantic.

Maybe it's the unclear boundary between the end of summer and autumn, or maybe it's the magnificent dusk that is still dark, which makes this summer or autumn, Ning's eyebrows and his mood at this time, all look so different, like a layer of coating. Orange matte soft light.
