Dreaming of 1988, I have the ability to see ghosts and ghosts

Looking at Wang Erming, I felt that he was just like the little bird that always followed me in my dream.

No matter when or where, no matter what my attitude towards him is, he always follows me silently and protects me with his weak body.

It's the start of the school year again. The next morning, I got up early. My grandma helped me pack my things. After breakfast, I waited for Wang Erming at home.

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”

I heard a bell ring, and when I went out, I saw Zhang Chen standing at my door pushing his bicycle.

"Zhang Chen, why are you here so early today?"

I asked curiously, every time school started or he went home on weekends, Zhang Chen would arrive at school on time.

"I just wanted to come earlier to help you move your things. If I hadn't come earlier, you would have left again."

He smiled warmly.

"However, I can only help you carry some of your things. I can't take you with me anymore. You have to walk to school by yourself."

He looked at the back seat and saw that there were already a lot of his luggage tied up on both sides. The back seat was empty. He must have stayed there on purpose to help me carry things.

I originally wanted to refuse, but when I thought about having Wang Erming send me off every time, I still felt a little embarrassed.

If Zhang Chen helps me take some of my things away, I can go alone.

After thinking for a moment, I said to him with a smile.

"Thank you then!"

Then he turned and went into the house to get my luggage. Zhang Chen also parked his bicycle and followed me into the house.

"Hello, Grandma Xu!"

Zhang Chen called out shyly when he saw his grandmother coming out of the kitchen.

"Young man, you're here! Did you ask Feng'er to go to school together?"

My grandmother is familiar with Zhang Chen. We often go home together and he has come to see me several times during the holidays.

"Yes! Grandma Xu, I'll take some things away for Liu Feng."

Zhang Chen answered while helping me get things.

"Oh, thank you so much!"

Grandma thanked him with a big smile!

"You're welcome, Grandma Xu. I'm on my way here and I'm riding a bicycle, so I'll help carry some so she doesn't get tired carrying it herself."

As he spoke, he had already tied my luggage to the back seat of the bicycle.

Then he adjusted the front of the car and smiled at me and my grandma.

"Liu Feng, Grandma Xu, I'll be leaving first."

He waved at us, then got on his bicycle and walked a few steps before turning his head to talk to me.

"Liu Feng, I'll take you to the dormitory later."

I waved at him and nodded in thanks!

After seeing Zhang Chen off, I started to pack up my belongings. There were only two small bags, so I could carry them by myself.

I decided to go early because I would be divided into arts and science classes. Although I had learned that the homeroom teacher for the second year of high school would still be Teacher Deng, there would still be a lot of things to do when the class was reorganized.

"Grandma, I'm going to school first. When Erming comes later, tell him that he doesn't need to send me off this time."

Wang Erming hadn't come yet, so I told my grandmother and went out with my things.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Before grandma finished her words, a tall figure appeared at the door.

"Why don't you need me to send you off today?"

Wang Erming came, and his tone was unhappy.

"Oh, Brother Erming, you're here? It's like this, Zhang Chen came just now, and he rode his bicycle to take away most of my luggage. There's not much left, and I can carry it by myself, so I won't bother you to take me there today."

I explained the reason to him truthfully.

His face immediately became gloomy. After a moment of silence, he took the two small bags from me and said.

"I was supposed to go into town to do some shopping today, so I'd better go with you."

After saying that, he ignored me and walked forward on his own.

I shrugged and followed him.

He walked very fast and had no intention of waiting for me, so I quickly chased after him.

But his legs were too long, and no matter how quick I quickened my pace, I could never catch up with him.

"Brother Erming, why are you walking so fast?"

I was so tired that I was out of breath and yelled at him impatiently from behind.

When he heard what I said, he didn't answer, but just stood there waiting for me.

"Brother Erming, what's wrong with you today? Are you unhappy?"

I finally caught up with him and asked unhappily.

"Nothing, let's go!"

Along the way, he had a stern face and frowned. His mood today was as if covered by a dark cloud. He was depressed and not happy at all.

I don’t understand why he was like this today. He is usually very happy when he is with me.

Maybe I had a conflict with my family.

"Brother Erming, this is your last year of technical secondary school. Will you arrange an internship next semester?"

In order to relieve the boredom of more than an hour on the road, and I also wanted to make him feel better, I found a topic to talk about.

He turned his head, glanced at me, his brows furrowed even more tightly, but he finally spoke.

"Yes! Many students whose families have connections are arranging internships at good schools, and will be assigned to the schools they want to go to in the future."

"But for rural kids like us, we don't even have a relative who can sweep the floor in the city, let alone connections. We don't know where we will be assigned in the future."

After saying that, he let out a long sigh.

"It's okay. Now everyone is guaranteed a job. No matter what, you will have a job. Besides, the profession of teacher is also very respected. Your life will be better in the future."

I comforted her.

"That's true, but I don't want to be assigned to another place. I just want to stay in a school in town or in the countryside. This way, it will be convenient for me to take care of my family."

"Besides, there's you..."

Here he paused.

"Also, when you go to college in the city or provincial capital in the future, I can help you take care of Grandma Xu."

After hearing what he said, if he was really my biological brother, and not for the gender difference, I really wanted to rush over and give him a big hug.

My eyes were wet, and every word he said deeply moved me.

When it comes to job assignments, he doesn't go there thinking about getting a good job, or developing in a big city for his own future.

I also thought that when I went to college, I would help take care of my grandmother. I had never considered this issue before.

My heart was filled with gratitude and my eyes were blurred with tears of emotion. I whispered to him.

"Thank you so much, Brother Erming."

"What's wrong, Feng'er, why are you still crying?"

When he saw tears flowing from the corners of my eyes, he got flustered and quickly tried to wipe my tears with his hands.

I pushed him away, half crying and half laughing.

"Brother Erming, I, I'm not crying, I'm just moved by you."

"This, this is nothing to be moved about. You have called me Brother Erming since we were young. You have called me that for so many years. Besides, you saved my life."

He finally smiled.

I also burst into laughter.

When we arrived at the school gate, he didn't see me in. I took the bag from his hand and waved goodbye to him.

Instead of going to the street to buy things, he returned the same way.

Looking at his receding back, knowing that he had come all the way to see me off, my heart was filled with endless gratitude and emotion.

His care and love for me are like warm sunshine, which have made up for the lack of family affection in my life over the years.
