At the end of the military training, all the students packed up their things and went back to school by car.

After seven days of military training, most of the first-year high school students were tanned by two shades, their hair was messy, and they wore dirty military uniforms that hadn’t been washed for seven days. , I feel that it is not seven days of military training, but seven years.

Both Yan Ran and Xiao Zichong brought a lot of luggage for military training. Yan Ran's grandma and Aunt Du came to pick him up, and the two girls couldn't carry too many things. Put the things of the two into the trunk of the car and take them home together.

Yan Ran's grandma wanted to pull Yan Ran and Xiao Zichong to talk, and the three of them sat in the back seat of the car, and asked Aunt Du to sit in the passenger seat.

Grandma Yan looked at Yan Ran, pulled his arm, and felt distressed: "Oh, it's so pitiful, look, it's so tanned, and it smells bad, you have to wash it well when you go back."

Yan Ran accompanied him with a smiling face, "Grandma, it's okay, everyone is tanned. But I think my spirit is much better than before, and military training is still useful."

Grandma Yan clicked her tongue twice, turned her head to look at Xiao Zichong again, took Xiao Zichong's hand again, and said, "Looking at Chongchong, I don't have much tan."

Xiao Zichong smiled, but remained silent.

Grandma Yan said again: "You two are in the same class now. I heard that you two still sit in the same row. Chong Chong, you are a good boy with good grades. In the future, help grandma watch over Ranran more. If he attends class If you’re not serious, you’ll be on a errand, come back and tell grandma, grandma will give you candy and Ranran’s feather duster.”

Yan Ran was very ashamed, and there was nothing he could do about his grandma. He went to see Xiao Zichong, and found that Xiao Zichong forced a smile on his face, looking very quiet. With the elegance of a well-mannered outstanding student.

Yan Ran: "..."

When Xiao Zichong complained about other people with him before, he was very sensible, but he didn't expect that he would return to this state when he was in front of the adults.

Yan Ran didn't know what to say, but Grandma Yan liked Xiao Zichong's pretending to be quiet and shy, so she educated Yan Ran again: "Look, Chong Chong can read at a glance, and he can't read. No wonder the grades are good."

Yan Ran: "..."

Fortunately, the distance from school to home is only two streets, and the car arrived quickly.Both Yan Ran and Xiao Zichong don't need to listen to grandma's boring words.

**

When Xiao Zichong returned home, the first thing he did was to take clean clothes and go into the bathroom to take a shower. Father Xiao and Grandma Yan loved his son in military training as much as Yan Ran, and called him through the bathroom door: "Chong Chong, what do you want to eat? , your old man will make it for you right away."

Xiao Zichong said in the bathroom, "Do you call me Cheng by my full name? How old am I?"

Xiao's father laughed: "How old are you? You're not even 16 years old. Do you still have to pretend to be an adult? Even if you are an adult, I will call you Chong Chong. What are you going to do with me?"

Xiao's father was happy for a while, and then called his son again, only to find that Xiao Zichong ignored him completely.

Papa Xiao: "..."

He didn't reflect on himself, and happily ran to make dinner by himself.

Xiao Zichong came out after taking a shower and changed his clothes. He sorted out all the clothes during the military training and threw them into the washing machine. Father Xiao ran over and said, "Your military uniform is so dirty, how can the washing machine clean it? Put it down, put it down, don't you Okay, I'll wash my hands later."

Xiao Zichong fended off his father and pressed the start button, "Just wash it in the washing machine, if it's not clean once, wash it again."

Xiao's father was dumbfounded at the starting washing machine, and said, "You child, you simply don't believe in evil. Aren't you just like your mother? You have to do whatever you want."

Xiao Zichong: "..."

It's just washing clothes, and it has risen to "doing one's own way".

He ignored his father, turned around and went to his bedroom, and said, "Dad, don't worry about my clothes, I'm starving to death, hurry up and cook!"

"Oh, yes, I'll cook right away. It will be ready in a while." Father Xiao hurried to the kitchen again.

**

When Yan Ran came home, the first thing he did was to take a shower. Throwing out his clothes, grandma had already taken his clothes, and told Aunt Du, "I don't think this clothes can be washed clean, so take it and throw it away."

Yan Ran thought it would be good to keep it as a souvenir, and was about to speak, when Aunt Du said: "Mr. Gu, this clothes can still be worn after washing. I think the material is quite good."

Grandma Yan, surnamed Gu, used to be a teacher.

Grandma Yan said: "You let Yan Ran try wearing this military uniform. Just wear it this time. You won't have a chance to wear it in the future."

Yan Ran knew what Aunt Du meant, and said, "Aunt Du, I won't wear this dress in the future. If you think it's still wearable, you can wash it and put it away."

In fact, Grandma Yan also knew what Aunt Du meant. She would put away the things she didn’t want at home and take them back to her hometown. But Grandma Yan sometimes lost things by herself, or she still needed them, but Aunt Du thought she didn’t want them anymore. , I put the things away and took them back to my hometown. This often made Grandma Yan angry, so it was impossible to be like Yan Ran, "Anyway, there is" and "Give this to Aunt Du".

Now that Yan Ran said so, Grandma Yan said: "If you are useful, you should."

Yan Ran went back to the bedroom, his door was unlocked, Grandma Yan opened the door without knocking and went in, seeing Yan Ran lying on the bed with her eyes closed, the corners of her lips curled up, showing a hint of a smile or not, She walked over, sat on the bed, and stroked her grandson's forehead.

Yan Ran was imitating Xiao Zichong's shy and quiet look in front of the elders, so much so that he wanted to laugh. When grandma sat on the bed, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Yan Ran was also taken aback when she met her grandma's loving eyes.

Yan Ran has nothing to say.

He also asked to lock the door of his room, but his parents and grandma all raised objections.

Parents promised to knock on the door when entering his room, but grandma said, "How old are you, and you still have to lock the door? Do you want to hide in the room and watch things you shouldn't, or play instead of doing homework?"

Yan Ran: "..."

Although Yan Ran was bored, in the end, he was just sullen for a while, and failed to fight for his own rights.

Grandma Yan touched Yan Ran's forehead, then pinched his ears, and then grabbed his hand and patted him, "My good grandson, the only seedling of old Yan's family."

Yan Ran lay on his back on the bed, and saw the bright red light from the setting sun on the ceiling, and his grandma's face was hidden in the shadow because her back was facing the sun.

Grandma Yan has three sons and a daughter. Yan Ran has an uncle, a second uncle, his father is the third child, and a sister-in-law.

His uncle is a professor at the University of Finance and Economics in the provincial capital, and now he is the head of the first hospital. He gave birth to a daughter, and this daughter is also very promising. She studied economics as an undergraduate, and now she is studying for a Ph.D. in psychology in the United States; The second uncle is in the United States. He used to study mathematics and worked in the field of computers. He has never been married. Because of his rebellious personality, he has a very bad relationship with his grandmother. His sister-in-law is the chief physician of a hospital in the provincial capital, and she also gave birth to a daughter. This cousin is still in primary school, and like Xiao Zichong, she doesn't care much about adults, and she doesn't care much about Yan Ran.

Because in Yan Ran's generation, there is only Yan Ran a boy, so Grandma Yan likes him very much.

Yan Ran also understood this, and always felt strange in her heart.

And it was precisely because Grandma Yan favored sons over daughters that she had a very bad relationship with her eldest daughter-in-law. Although my sister-in-law didn't usually say anything bad, she wasn't very affectionate with her own mother.

Thinking of this, Yan Ran suddenly felt sorry for his grandma, who was very similar to the "witch" in fairy tales. Because she loved herself, she offended all the others, and she was so unworthy.

Yan Ran held her grandma's hand, feeling a strange feeling. The old man's hand seemed to be cold, but at the same time, it seemed to be very hot. Under the layer of skin, it seemed to have flesh and blood, and at the same time, it seemed to be just bones.

Yan Ran suddenly became frightened. He sat up and hugged grandma.

Grandma Yan was surprised when he hugged her, and said with a smile, "Why, I haven't seen grandma for so long, you miss grandma, don't you?"

Yan Ran was already taller than his grandma, he buried his head on his grandma's shoulder, nodded slightly, "Yes."

**

Ring Ring Ring!

The phone in the living room rang. After Aunt Du answered the phone, she came to the door of Yan Ran's room and called him: "Of course, the upstairs Chong Chong called you and said that he has something to call you. Go up to his house."

Yan Ran let out a "hmm" and let go of grandma, "I'll go to Xiao Zichong's house."

Grandma watched him run away quickly, and said with a smile: "I always feel that he was born yesterday, and he will go to high school all at once, alas."

When Yan Ran reached the sixth floor, he found that the door of Xiao Zichong's house was open, and Xiao Zichong was standing at the door, apparently waiting for him.

When Xiao Zichong saw him, he said, "Let's go to the rooftop."

"Oh." Yan Ran followed him up to the rooftop.

The rooftop garden at Xiao Zichong's home is very well maintained. As far as Yan Ran knows, it is basically Xiao Zichong's father who takes care of the garden. Xiao Zichong's father is well-known in the community for his virtuousness.

Xiao Zichong let Yan Ran sit on the rattan chair under the grape arbor, took out a hundred-yuan bill that had been folded so much that many stamps were left on it, and handed it to Yan Ran, "Here, I will pay you back the one hundred yuan first. "

Yan Ran didn't know whether to answer it for a while: "Have you got a hundred so soon?"

Xiao Zichong nodded: "Yes. I heard that there will be an entrance exam next Monday. If I get the first place in the exam, my dad promises to give me ten yuan. I can only save the money for you in the future."

Yan Ran: "..."

There will be an entrance exam next Monday, which is like a bolt from the blue to Yan Ran.

Xiao Zichong said: "I asked you to come here, just to pay you back the money, take it."

Yan Ran was almost heartbroken, took the money into his hands, and put it away without looking at it.

Xiao Zichong said: "Didn't you say before, go to the bookstore to read comic books on weekends? After hearing what they said, if you don't see what it is like with your own eyes, you will always think, why not go and see."

Yan Ran thought that I had to prepare for the exam, but he couldn't refuse Xiao Zichong, so he had to agree: "Then do you want to go tomorrow?"

Xiao Zichong nodded: "Okay, I can run at seven o'clock in the morning, so I will take this opportunity to go to the bookstore. May I call you?"

Yan Ran: "The bookstore is not open yet at seven o'clock."

Xiao Zichong: "How could it be? I often run there. That bookstore opens very early, so it must be open."

Yan Ran worriedly agreed.

**

Early the next morning, Xiao Zichong knocked on the door of Yan Ran's house. Yan Ran had already agreed with his family that he wanted to go for a run with Xiao Zichong. His family thought it was Xiao Zichong, so they didn't think much about it. , let him go.

The two ran all the way to the bookstore opposite the school gate. The bookstore was doing business for students, and it really opened at this time.

The front of the bookstore sells teaching aids and serious magazines, and the back room is larger, full of various novels, comics, magazines, etc.

Xiao Zichong knew before that the room at the back of this bookstore was full of novels and comics, but most of the time there were girls around, so he never went inside to take a closer look.

It was still early, and it was Saturday again, and the girls hadn't come yet. At this moment, it was only him and Yan Ran, so he could take a closer look at what books were inside.

Xiao Zichong looked over a row of novels, many of which had titles such as "Lang Jun", "Imperial Concubine", "Tyrant" and "Evil Charm". They were not his favorite, so he turned his attention to the comic books on the other side. On the Internet, he saw "Inuyasha" which was strongly promoted. He picked it up and read more than a dozen pages. He was not that interested, and then saw "HunterXHunter". He took the book and flipped through it. The world in the comic soon attracted hold him...

The owner of the bookstore was a fat aunt. She was displaying books outside at this time, and she didn't come in, so she didn't think of reminding the two boys that one side of the books was for boys to read, and the other side was only for girls.

Yan Ran is shorter than Xiao Zichong. Seeing that Xiao Zichong was always reading the books on the upper shelf, he had no choice but to read the books on the lower shelf on the other side first, and then he just sat on the floor and pulled out a book, the title is "Absolute Love" .

Yan Ran thought, but he hadn't heard those boys introduce this manga.
