June
Chapter 2 is an English class, and he still has 19 minutes of break time to write a composition.
He asked, "Have you used up all your pocket money?"
"I want to buy a digital tablet." Yu Ning told him her difficulties helplessly.
A good digital tablet is not cheap. It seems that Yu Ning chose the former between the digital tablet and cosmetics, but she is reluctant to part with the latter, which is why she is stretched.Seeing Xi Meng's pensive look, Yu Jun was afraid that he would really spend money to buy cosmetics for his sister, so he said first: "Life is like this, you can't get everything, you have to make a choice, you know? Besides, you are not ugly. , the skin is not bad, there is no need to put on makeup every day!" After finishing speaking, he did not forget to wink at Xi Meng who felt compassionate.
Yu Ning waited for a long time, and found that Xi Meng was finally persuaded by her brother, and said pitifully, "Okay."
"Hey! You three, come out to eat!" Xia Zhiyuan shouted outside, "And the one in the study!"
Hearing the chef's call, people waiting to eat came out of the room one after another.
The food on the table was very rich, and the most eye-catching thing was the sweet and sour fish made with sushi vinegar. Xi Meng was surprised to find that this fish did not look much different from the sweet and sour fish he usually saw, but the smell was very unique. "Thank you." Xi Meng took the rice served by Yu Ning with both hands.
After Xia Zhiyuan sat down, he said, "Try it, this rice was won by you today."
"This rice is very good for cooking." Yu Yi looked at the plump rice grains, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the children, "We will continue to work hard next year."
Hearing the elders' encouragement, they glanced at each other and nodded in unison: "Okay."
After the garden party, the atmosphere of the New Year is even stronger.In previous years, Yu Jun's family would take grandma home from the nursing home for the New Year, but this year grandma is already at her aunt's house. After discussion, the parents decided to go to the aunt's house for a New Year's Eve dinner.At this time last year, Xi Meng's parents were divorcing, and a few years ago, they went to a hotel for a New Year's Eve dinner together.Compared with the bustle of every household in the box or the lobby, the New Year's Eve dinner for their family of three always seemed extraordinarily deserted, so Xi Meng didn't like going out for New Year's Eve dinner very much.
Hearing that Yu Jun's family has been making New Year's Eve dinners at home, Xi Meng was very envious and asked, "Is the whole family preparing it together?"
"Almost, but my dad is in charge." Yu Jun was surprised to see Xi Meng, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect my dad to cook, right?" Xi Meng nodded, "My dad cooks delicious food, and there are ordinary restaurants The level of a chef! But he likes to eat my mother's cooking, so he doesn't usually cook."
Xi Meng was taken aback, then smiled and said, "That's great."
Yu Jun knew that Xi Meng had no grandparents since he was a child, and his grandparents passed away when he was in junior high school, so the family has always been relatively deserted.Now he only lives with his mother, Yu Jun can't help but worry about how he will celebrate the New Year this time, although there are always different ways to celebrate the New Year when there are many people, but Yu Jun always feels sorry for Xi Meng when he thinks that his home is so lively.Moreover, during dinner just now, Jun Yu received another difficult task - after their family had dinner at his aunt's house on New Year's Eve, he had to live with his younger sister at his aunt's house and stay with grandma to watch the new year.He had to wait until after the dinner on the first day of the new year to go home at the earliest, but those two days were when lonely people were most likely to feel lonely.It would be great if Xi Meng could go to his aunt's house with him, but Yu Jun also knew that this idea was too unrealistic.
When he was worrying and depressed about this matter, Xi Meng suddenly said: "By the way, the candy given out at the garden party today included the kind of candy that Grandpa Wei usually eats. Did you find it?"
Yu Jun, who was thinking about something, was startled when he heard it, and said in surprise: "Really?"
"Well, I rummaged through it just now and found two." Xi Meng took one out of his pocket and handed it to him, "Here."
Yu Jun took the candy in surprise, tore open the package and put it in his mouth. The fruit-flavored candy not only had the same packaging, but also tasted exactly the same.He ate the candy happily, and said with emotion: "This year's neighborhood committee is rich!"
Xi Meng muttered curiously: "I don't know how Grandpa Wei celebrates the New Year alone. Does the neighborhood committee have condolence activities?"
"Well, there will be in previous years, and this year it shouldn't fall." Yu Jun asked, "Is there only one?" His saliva was sweetened by the juice in the candy.
He nodded: "I ate one before eating."
"Oh..." Jun Yu nodded thoughtfully.
Xi Meng looked at it for a moment, and guessed what he wanted to do from his subtle expressions.He heard a crisp sound from Jun Yu's mouth, it was he who bit off the candy.Yu Jun blinked at Xi Meng, pulled him to a dark corner behind the building, and put half a candy into his mouth.
"Hmm..." Accidentally, Xi Meng choked on their saliva, and he smiled embarrassedly, "Lemon flavor?"
Yu Jun took his hand, and the smell of lemon fell on the corner of his lips: "Isn't that the one you ate?"
"It's orange flavor." Xi Meng shook his head, regretting that he didn't find a chance to share it with Yu Jun.
Before parting at night, Xi Meng took advantage of the steam cafe not closed, and planned to buy two loaves of French bread for the next day's breakfast.But the bread was sold out, and there was only one piece of orange mousse left in the glass cabinet. Xi Meng bought this piece of mousse, thinking that he didn't have any candy for Jun Yu.
Yu Jun was helping his mother to pick up the courier at the computer repair shop that served as a collection point. When he found a familiar cardboard box on the shelf, he said to the shop owner, "Let me take this package to Grandpa Wei."
The shop owner who was installing the system said in embarrassment: "Grandpa Wei passed away. I was not there when the courier arrived, so I stayed here. The courier will come tomorrow, and this will be returned."
Yu Jun's heart sank suddenly, he looked at Xi Meng who had just entered the door, his face was also full of shock and bewilderment.
"When did it happen?" Yu Jun asked hurriedly.
The shop owner sighed, "Last week? It wasn't the weekend, and everyone hasn't had their annual holiday yet. I heard that the funeral is relatively simple."
Xi Meng didn't know anything about the old man except that he had delivered parcels to Grandpa Wei. He asked worriedly, "Who will take care of his funeral? His family?"
"I don't know about this." The shopkeeper shook his head regretfully.
☆, 3rd.
The one-day stoppage of rain seemed to be just for that joyful garden party. Not long after Xi Meng returned home at night, the drizzle started again, quickly wetting the ground that hadn't had time to dry.He watered the flowers on the balcony, and went back to his room to take out pen, ink and rice paper to practice calligraphy.
It was very late when he said goodbye to Jun Yu, and not long after, Jun Yu sent him a message saying good night.Xi Menglin's "Ling Fei Jing" came at one o'clock in the morning, thinking that he hadn't posted on Moments for a long time, and it was already the New Year's Eve. He should post something before the year, so he took a photo of his half-written copybook , sent to the circle of friends.
Unexpectedly, when he came out of the shower, he found that Yu Jun, who had said good night to him long ago, commented in Moments, asking him to write the word "spring" for his family this year.Xi Meng smiled when he saw his comment. It was 2 minutes ago when he saw his comment, so he sent him a message and asked: Are you still awake?
Yu Jun: I couldn't fall asleep.You have been writing until just now?
Xi Meng guessed that he, like himself, was very worried when he heard the news of Grandpa Wei's death, so he couldn't sleep peacefully.Well, writing some words can be reassuring. —— After writing this sentence, Xi Meng felt uncomfortable, so he deleted this sentence and changed it to: Mmm.Is there still time to write the word "spring"?You have to go to aunt's place tomorrow morning, and I don't know any stationery store that is still open to sell red paper.
Yu Jun: [in a daze] Also, okay.it's a pity!But it’s okay, I saw my aunt said in my family’s group that grandma made brown sugar rice cakes, and I’ll bring them back to you the day after tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, Jun Yu’s family still had a group. Xi Meng replied: [Very happy] Okay ~ go to bed early, I’ll dry my hair and go to sleep.good night~
Jun Yu: Good night~have a good dream~
Even so, Xi Meng still didn't sleep after drying his hair, but continued to read the unfinished scriptures.As he was writing, he caught a glimpse of the colored ink on the table and suddenly had an idea.Xi Meng tore off a corner of the rice paper, cut out a square, and wrote "Spring" squarely on it, then walked out of the room softly, found a small bowl in the kitchen, took it back to the room and poured it into the bowl. Put on some bright and fiery colored ink.Putting the word "spring" in front of the colored ink, Xi Meng hesitated for a moment, guessing that this would blur the original written characters.
He sat worriedly for a while, then simply found a piece of white cardboard, cut out a new square, and put it in colored ink to smudge.Now there is red paper, but how to give away the word "Spring" the size of a palm?This became a new problem.The dyed colored paper would not be dry for a while, so Xi Meng climbed into bed, turned off the lights and went to sleep after washing his hands.Before he fell asleep, he suddenly thought of a good way, and immediately turned on the light and got up.
Xi Meng picked up the square photo frame on the bedside, looked at the photo of himself and Tieria on it, hesitated for a moment, and finally took the photo down.He kept this group photo in a wooden box in the drawer, wiped the frame carefully with alcohol, and the frame looked brand new in a blink of an eye.Everything was ready, just writing on paper, Xi Meng went back to bed and fell asleep peacefully.
He slept late, and when he woke up he habitually touched his cell phone, and found that there was a message from Mr. Yu on it, saying that they were about to go to his aunt's house. "Oops!" Xi Meng got up violently, his headache was about to split, he supported his aching forehead, and sent a message back to Jun Yu: Are you leaving?
After a while, Yu Jun replied: "I am going downstairs."you're awake?
You still have time.Xi Meng quickly said: Wait a minute, I will give you "spring".Wait for me at Exit 4 of the underground garage?
Yu Jun: [Surprised] Good~
In order to prevent Yu Jun's family from waiting because Yu Jun was also because of him, Xi Meng hurriedly wrote "Spring" on the colored paper with a pen, put on his coat, and went out without changing his clothes and shoes.In the elevator, he casually brushed his sleepy hair, and blew on the ink on the colored paper, hoping that the words on it would dry quickly.
Exit 4 is the closest to the downstairs of his house. After getting out of the elevator, Xi Meng drew a sign of the cross on his chest, hoping that Jun Yu's family would not send Jun Yu to that exit for the convenience of his son. He looks like this now But it was embarrassing.Seeing Yu Jun waiting by the exit alone, Xi Meng breathed a sigh of relief, walked over quickly wearing cotton slippers, and put the colored paper upside down into the photo frame.
"It's the same if you give it to me after I come back." Seeing his sleepy look, Yu Jun found it both funny and distressed, and he brushed Xi Meng's messy hair.
Xi Meng smiled shyly, and gave him the photo frame with both hands: "It's already the Spring Festival when you come back, so you can't make it in time."
I have to say that Xi Meng's hard pen calligraphy is indeed more childish and cute than his calligraphy.Yu Jun was moved and held the photo frame with "spring" on it, and put it in front of Xi Meng again, and said with a smile: "Spring is here."
After hearing this, he scratched his cheek in embarrassment, and hurriedly urged him: "Go quickly, don't let uncles and aunts wait for you. Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." Yu Jun scratched his hair again, "Go back and sleep in the cage."
After settling this matter, Xi Meng was able to go home and catch up on sleep.When he changed into a pair of clean cotton slippers at the entrance, he suddenly remembered that it was no longer raining outside.
Gao Lanlan seemed to have stayed up the night before, until now the door was still closed, and Xi Meng quietly returned to the room and continued to sleep.This sleep lasted until noon, and Gao Lanlan was already working in the study when he woke up.Xi Meng knew that her mother would go to Canada this month, and everything was ready, but she didn't mention whether he would also go with her.Xi Meng was depressed about this matter for a while, and then he realized that if Gao Lanlan asked him to go with him, then he should have started to go through the formalities, instead of writing leisurely homework for the winter vacation every day and spending his free time. time.
If Gao Lanlan doesn't need him to go abroad together, what should he do in the future?Are you going to Papa?After the previous question was answered, new questions followed.Xi Meng wanted to ask his mother about the next arrangement several times, but every time he passed the study and saw her working seriously in it, he didn't know how to ask.
At noon, no one at home cooks lunch.When the delivery boy delivered pizza to Xi Meng, he joked that he still eats takeaway on New Year's Eve.Xi Meng smiled mischievously, took the pizza and drinks back to the kitchen, and called his mother out for lunch.Gao Lanlan replied in the study, let him eat first, so Xi Meng had to sit in the living room alone and eat his lunch while watching a movie.
It doesn't look like New Year's Eve at all.Xi Meng thought about this in his heart out of boredom, just for a moment.Soon, he got used to going back to his room to study by himself. Since his mother didn't say what to eat for the New Year's Eve dinner, Xi Meng simply didn't think about it.Even so, deep down in Xi Meng's heart, he still hoped that Gao Lanlan would remember that it was the New Year's Eve, and no matter how bad it was, he should use a rice cooker to cook a portion of rice.But he never expected that Gao Lanlan would come out of the study and ask, "Xi Meng, can you still order takeaway?"
Xi Meng, who was writing the simulation paper, was stunned when he heard it. He turned his head in a daze and asked, "Do you still eat takeaway?"
"If you can't get it, just cook." Gao Lanlan turned around after speaking, and said to herself in annoyance, "I don't know if there are any supermarkets selling vegetables now."
Xi Meng frowned displeasedly, got up from the desk, and walked quickly to the kitchen: "I cook."
Not long after the raw rice was put into the rice cooker, Gao Lanlan changed into her clothes and went out.She said she was going out to buy vegetables, but Xi Meng, who had been depressed for a long time, thought that it was strange to be able to buy vegetables at this time.Sure enough, about 10 to [-] minutes later, Gao Lanlan came back from the outside, holding a pack of Cantonese-style sausages in her hand, and said regretfully, "There is no food."
Of course.Xi Meng was so annoyed that he held back his temper and said, "Put the sausage in the rice."
Gao Lanlan took off her coat, opened the refrigerator, took out three eggs and a tomato, and said, "Let me fix it, you go to rest."
Xi Meng is not in the mood to cook with her, and the scarce ingredients don't require two people to be in the kitchen at the same time.He groaned and went back to the room.
After an unknown amount of time, the smell of rice bowls wafted from the kitchen, and Xi Meng, who was already very hungry, was writing the test paper resentfully, sitting motionless at the desk.At this time, the songs of the Spring Festival Gala had already sounded from every household, but in Xi Meng's house, there was not only no laughter, but no sound of conversation.
"Xi Meng, come out to eat!" Gao Lanlan called him outside.Although Xi Meng agreed, he still bent over his desk to write the test paper.After a while, Gao Lanlan came to the door of his room and asked, "Do you want me to bring the food to your room?"
Xi Meng's pen paused, he gritted his teeth, and after screwing the cap of the pen, he slowly got up and walked to the dining room with his head buried.
In the bright restaurant, two tomato and egg rice bowls are decorated with sliced Cantonese-style sausages. If this is not a New Year's Eve dinner, the appearance is actually very pleasing.
The mother and son sat on both sides of the dining table, eating their New Year's Eve dinner without saying a word.Because of the difference in distance, the singing sounds from all over seemed to be repeated one after another, like countless evening parties, which made the coldness of their home even more apparent.The moment the rice bowl was first eaten, the hungry Xi Meng felt that he was saved. However, when the food and clothing were resolved, the food became tasteless.He stirred the tasteless rice bowl, opened his mouth, and looked up to ask his mother about her plan, but saw her get up and leave.
Discouraged, Xi Meng continued to stir the rice on the plate.What the hell is this called?There seemed to be thousands of knots in Xi Meng's heart that could not be untied. He rubbed his eyes wearily, put down the spoon again, and vigorously wiped the ink marks left by the pen on the middle finger of his right hand.Suddenly, a red envelope and a pen were placed in front of Xi Meng. Xi Meng was taken aback, and looked up at Gao Lanlan who was seated again without knowing why.
"I have used this pen for nearly 20 years, and the quality is good. I recently changed the nib. If you don't mind, keep using it." Gao Lanlan was already full, and she wiped her mouth with a tissue. "The red envelope is your lucky money. Give it to you in advance."
Xi Meng saw Gao Lanlan use this pen since she was a child, and she never changed it.Seeing her handing over the pen to him now, he was very nervous, and hurriedly said, "I have a pen..."
"Xi Meng." She interrupted him, and after a short silence, she smiled lightly, "After the Chinese New Year, mom will go abroad. Since you don't want to go with mom, mom won't force you. You want to It's up to you to live or go to your father's place, but your mother will still provide you with all living expenses before you terminate your studies."
These were all things that Xi Meng had a premonition before, but for some reason, when he really heard Gao Lanlan say it, he still felt empty in his heart.He loosened his tight lips and said sadly: "Mom, it's not that I don't like you..."
"I know." She interrupted him again, smiling frankly.
Xi Meng felt extremely uncomfortable. Until not long ago, he was still secretly angry with Gao Lanlan, but now that Gao Lanlan said this, how could he let go of it?Holding the pen in his hand, he unscrewed the cap a few times, then tightened it again, speechless.
"When you grow up, you have to take good care of yourself in the future." At this point, a trace of sadness flashed across her face, and she quickly said softly, "After listening to what Jun Yu said that day, I know he likes you very much. What about you? Do you like him too?"
He trembled slightly, gripped the pen tightly, looked back at her gentle gaze, and nodded sadly and seriously.
After watching, Gao Lanlan smiled.She nodded reassuringly: "Mom also thinks he is a very good child. This kind of thing is not new now. If you like each other, take good care of each other in the future and make progress together."
Xi Meng's heart trembled violently, and he stared blankly at Gao Lanlan: "Mom..."
"Does Mr. Yu's parents know about you?" She ignored her son's bewilderment, but asked with concern.
He froze for a moment and shook his head.
Gao Lanlan frowned lightly, sighed softly, and said, "When you tell them in the future, you should talk about it just like you told me last time."
Xi Meng nodded, seeing Gao Lanlan get up to pack the tableware, he hurriedly stood up after him.Gao Lanlan had already picked up his plate, and said with a smile, "I'll clean it up." His heart sank, and with a lot of guilt, he said gratefully, "Thank you, Mom."
Her smile was very shallow under the pale light, but there was a deep light in her eyes.
☆、4th.
"Really?!" Yu Jun asked excitedly on the other end of the phone, "Auntie, did she really say that?"
Except for the last time he lost his temper at himself, Xi Meng had never heard Yu Jun speak so loudly. He heard that he put the phone away from his ear in a funny way, and after a while he calmed down, he said happily: "Well, Really. She went abroad after the new year, and I agreed with her to live in this place by myself."
Yu Jun still couldn't hide his excitement, and said with emotion: "I really want to go out and run around!"
"Then go run for a couple of laps before calling me." Xi Meng said jokingly.
He smirked on the other end of the phone, and said to himself happily: "Then when will I tell my parents?"
After hearing this, Xi Meng hurriedly said: "Don't say it yet, just wait a little longer." Although it would be great if you can get the consent of both parents, and Xi Meng also knows that Yu Jun's parents are reasonable and good people, but He didn't want to take another risk during the Chinese New Year. If Jun Yu's parents disagreed, it would be difficult for them to deal with what happened later.
"Hmm..." Yu Jun hesitated, and finally agreed, "Okay! Hey, the brown sugar rice cakes made by grandma are delicious. I'll bring some for you and auntie tomorrow."
After learning that Gao Lanlan agreed with them to be together, Xi Meng also hoped that Jun Yu could meet her more before she went abroad.In this way, Gao Lanlan will understand what a good person Yu Jun is, and she will feel more at ease.Xi Meng said happily: "Okay. I ate takeaway at noon, and rice with rice in the evening. It has no New Year flavor at all. It is best to eat rice cakes."
Yu Jun said with pity: "Why is the food so bad?"
Xi Meng sighed slightly, and then told all the things that happened that day since we parted ways with him. After finishing speaking, he happened to meet the New Year's Eve Gala on TV, but in reality, gorgeous fireworks were going up everywhere.It wasn't just Xi Meng here, he also heard the sound of fireworks coming from the phone, as if the fireworks he saw at this moment were the same as what Jun Yu saw.None of them spoke, but watched the fireworks in the sky quietly, unable to guess where and who sent them into the sky.
"It's so beautiful..." Xi Meng admired softly, and said with a smile, "It's better not to live in the city center."
Yu Jun laughed after hearing this.
They agreed to meet up on the night of the first day of the new year, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. During dinner on the first day of the new year, Jun Yu's grandma had the idea of going out for a walk on the second day of the new year.Of course, the juniors couldn’t refuse the old man’s request, especially her beloved children and grandchildren, so Yu Jun and his sister stayed at the aunt’s house for another night, and went to the park with his cousin and grandma on the morning of the second day of junior high.
The old man is very fond of flowers and plants. When the children want to take pictures of her, she must choose a background full of flowers.Yu Jun's camera is full of grandma and brilliant flowers. Sometimes she is amused by the children, smiling like a flower, and sometimes her eyes are empty, with a touch of sadness on her quiet face.In the afternoon, Yu Yi drove to take the couple home, and Jun Yu brought brown sugar rice cakes for Xi Meng's family.
At the dinner table of the reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve, grandma gave the children a traditional etiquette education, saying that they should stay at home for the first two days of the new year, and it is impolite to go out to visit.Although Mr. Yu was skeptical about this tradition, but his parents were there at that time, he of course nodded to explain.In this way, even if he came back from his aunt's house on the second night of the new year, it would be inconvenient for him to tell his parents that he was going to Xi Meng's house to pay New Year's greetings.On the way, he was worried that he would not find an excuse to go out when he got home, so he sent a message to Xi Meng to agree to let him wait in the commercial street to receive his New Year cake.
When he gave the brown sugar rice cake to Xi Meng, he was full of apology and said, "I'll come out in the middle of the night at worst."
"I'm going to bed in the middle of the night." Xi Meng knew that Yu Jun was very sorry for his missed appointment, but he didn't mind, "See you tomorrow."
Yu Jun slumped his shoulders helplessly: "Okay."
Knowing that Gao Lanlan agreed to the relationship between the two, Yu Jun really wanted to stay with Xi Meng all the time. If they should be studying hard at this time, he could bring the exercise book and test paper collection to Xi Meng. At home, study with him.Back home, Yu Jun sat at the desk and was bored doing quizzes, while Yu Ning was developing sushi-making skills in the kitchen.I wonder what Gao Lanlan's attitude will be when he sees him again now?Yu Jun also wanted to express his determination to her again, but he was afraid that he would appear too exaggerated.
After finishing a simulation paper, Yu Jun suddenly remembered that there was another important matter, and quickly took out the mobile phone in the drawer to send a message to Xi Meng: Since you are not going abroad, shall we go to Beijing to go to university?
He spread out another mock paper and silently wrote two lines of poems: Erbur's words, the body is free from blame.Come with Erche, bribe with me.
Xi Meng replied: Do you really want to go to Beijing?
Did Xi Meng think that what he said to Gao Lanlan last time was just foreshadowing the future?Jun Yu pouted in dissatisfaction, and replied seriously: Well, I told my grandma to take her to see it later.But is this reason too perfunctory?
Xi Meng: No.Since you want to go, let's go to the school there. Anyway, many schools are good.
Yu Jun just likes Xi Meng's calm appearance, which makes him instantly full of confidence.He said: But it is not easy to be admitted to the same school. It seems that I have to write an extra test paper tonight!
Xi Meng: [in a daze] [in a daze] But I'm at your door, will I disturb your self-study?
"Huh?!" Yu Jun held the phone and stood up immediately.
At this time, Xia Zhiyuan's voice and Xi Meng's greeting came from outside.Jun Yu quickly screwed on the cap of the pen, walked out quickly, and saw Xi Meng coming to visit with a gift box.After changing his shoes, Xi Meng asked with a smile, "Have you finished writing the test paper?"
"How can it be so fast..." Yu Jun hurriedly stepped forward, took the gift box he sent, and asked, "What is this?"
Xi Meng was not sure, and said, "Let's have some pastries for the Spring Festival."
Xia Zhiyuan said politely: "Come here, why do you still bring these?"
"It's not good to come empty-handed during the Chinese New Year, and Yu Jun gave me some rice cakes this afternoon. My mother and I both like them very much. This is a thank you gift." Xi Meng looked curiously into the kitchen and greeted the people inside, "Ning Ning ?Happy New Year."
Yu Ning was pinching sushi in the kitchen, and ran out to say hello, "Happy New Year!"
The name of the hotel was written on the packaging of the gift box. Yu Jun guessed that it might be a product of the hotel, but when he asked Xi Meng, it turned out that Gao Lanlan's gift certificate was exchanged for company benefits.When they returned to the room, Xi Meng found that Yu Jun was writing the simulation paper, and remembered a math problem they discussed last time, and then told him about another proof method that he thought of later.
Jun Yu dug out the question and rewrote the proof process according to the method he said. After a long while, he shook his head in disapproval: "I think the one I said last time is better, this one is too roundabout."
"Really?" Xi Meng reserved his opinion on this, and shrugged indifferently, "Come here if it's convenient."
They chose the latter between writing the test paper and watching TV with Xia Zhiyuan, so they walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down as if nothing had happened, chatting with Xia Zhiyuan about the plot.Xi Meng hugged the glutinous rice balls and sat beside him, watched TV for a while, and asked, "Are they together?"
"It's divided again." Xia Zhiyuan peeled an orange and handed it to him.
"Break up?" Xi Meng's memory of the couple on TV is still the last time he went to Yu Jun's house to watch TV, and he didn't expect to watch it at this time, the plot has developed so far.He broke off half of the orange and handed it to Jun Yu, and asked, "What season is this?"
Yu Jun replied on his behalf: "The fourth season."
Xia Zhiyuan also had a good understanding of the behind-the-scenes of the TV series. He ate an orange and said, "The male lead resigned last season because he thought the salary was too low, so the scriptwriter wrote that they broke up. Later, the salary was negotiated, so he came back again. "
So that's the case, Xi Meng nodded clearly.He caught a glimpse of Yu Yi coming out of the study with a red envelope, hurriedly put down the orange peel in his hand, and wiped his hands.
"Here, happy new year, progress in studies." Yu Yi gave him the red envelope, "Get a good grade in the college entrance examination."
Xi Meng didn't expect to receive lucky money when he came to pay New Year's greetings, so he shyly accepted the red envelope and said, "Thank you uncle, I wish you all the best in the coming year."
Xia Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I'm also in it."
"I also wish auntie all wishes come true, live younger and more beautiful." Xi Meng said hastily.
Yu Jun looked sideways when he heard this, and joked, "Your mouth is so sweet."
Xia Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at his son and said, "Do you think everyone owes you as much as you do?"
"Hey, hey!" Yu Jun reminded her dissatisfiedly who is her real son.
There was 1000 yuan in the red envelope, and Yu Jun and Yu Ning, who had never received lucky money from their parents, were envious.When Xi Meng learned that they hadn't taken the lucky money from their parents, he was very surprised and asked, "Why?"
"They said that their money is ours in the end." Yu Ning spread her hands, "And said that the money they gave to other children, the elders of other families will return it to us."
Yu Jun poured ink into the pen and complained: "They don't understand the meaning of New Year's money at all!"
Xi Meng thought about what Jun Yu's parents said carefully, but felt that it was not unreasonable.He took out five hundred yuan from the red envelope and handed it to Yu Ning: "Take it to buy a digital tablet, although it's not enough."
Seeing this, not only Yu Ning, but even Yu Jun was stunned.Yu Ning rubbed her hands, and asked with disbelief on her face, "Is it really for me?" Although she asked, she took the money while asking, "Thank you! I am so grateful!"
Xi Meng knew that she had a dream of becoming an illustrator, and he did not lack the five hundred yuan, so he decided to support her in action.Seeing her happy appearance, Mr. Yu reminded him: "You can only buy a digital tablet. If I find out that you bought other useless things, no one will give you money in the future."
"I swear, I swear." Yu Ning raised three fingers as a pledge.
Xi Meng only sat at Yu Jun's house for a while, and he said goodbye before dinner was prepared at his house.On the second day of the new year, Xia Zhiyuan and his wife did not leave other children to eat at home, but let him go home to eat with his family.When saying goodbye, Xia Zhiyuan insisted on asking Xi Meng to take some oranges from the house, and he thanked his aunt repeatedly.Just after going downstairs, Xi Meng suddenly heard Yu Jun calling his name, turned around and found him running down in three steps at a time, panting and laughing and said: "I told my mother to help her buy salt. I will take you home ?”
"Is there no salt at home?" Xi Meng asked in surprise.
Jun Yu shrugged and said, "When Ning Ning was making sushi in the afternoon, I knocked over a box of salt, and I bought some to prepare. Hey, salt is not the point!"
Xi Meng understood, he smiled and nodded.
On the way home, they agreed to deposit the lucky money received by Xi Meng into the account they had established together.Yu Jun said that he has put all the New Year's money received so far, and if he receives any more before the end of the winter vacation, he will keep it for daily pocket expenses.Xi Meng blinked in surprise, and said with a smile, "Me too."
"There should be quite a lot of money in the account now." Yu Jun said pleasantly.
He thought for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "Not too much, because I only received the New Year's money from my mother, and I don't know if I should go to my father's house to pay New Year's greetings."
Dad's house?Yu Jun felt uncomfortable when he heard it, but Xi Meng said it very naturally.He said, "When are you going? Let me accompany you there? Just wait for you outside."
Xi Meng felt his intentions and smiled gratefully.
Gao Lanlan was cooking dinner at home, waiting for her son to come back.She didn't expect that it was actually two children who came back to the door, and she was startled.
"Auntie, Happy New Year." Yu Jun broke through the awkward atmosphere and greeted proactively.
Gao Lanlan also put aside the embarrassment, and invited Jun Yu into the house: "Happy New Year. Have you eaten yet? I am cooking, let's eat together."
Although her greeting was not warm, Yu Jun was still flattered and declined quickly: "No, my family is cooking too. I'll come out to help my mother buy salt, and borrow an exercise book from Xi Meng by the way." He didn't dare to tell Gao Lanlan, he He just wanted to send Xi Meng home.
Xi Meng tacitly went back to the room and found him an exercise book: "Here."
"Okay, thank you." Yu Jun stood at the porch all the time, without changing into the cotton slippers that Gao Lanlan put out, and said politely, "Auntie, I'm going back first, they are waiting for me to eat."
Just looking at the braised pork in the pot, Gao Lanlan hurried out of the kitchen again and called him: "Hey, wait a minute!"
Jun Yu had already opened the door, he was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at Xi Meng inexplicably.Seeing his mother walking into the study, Xi Meng shook his head in puzzlement.They waited for a while, and Gao Lanlan came out with a red envelope and handed it to Jun Yu: "Happy New Year, progress in studies. Get a good grade in the college entrance examination."
She said exactly the same words as Yu Jun's father, and both Xi Meng and Yu Jun were stunned.Gao Lanlan saw that Yu Jun hadn't accepted the red envelope for a long time, so she gave him a puzzled look.Yu Jun came back to his senses, took the red envelope with both hands, and said, "Thank you, Auntie, and I wish you all the best."
☆、1st.
After the festival, the airport was crowded with people, countless people who went out and returned, the sadness of parting and the joy of reunion were written on the faces of travelers.
In order to check in her luggage, Gao Lanlan waited in line for half an hour.Xi Meng originally thought that his mother would wait with them until the boarding time and then go through the security check after the check-in procedure was over. Unexpectedly, she left the queue and proposed to go to the security check immediately.Yu Jun looked at the reluctant Xi Meng, and together with him sent Gao Lanlan to the security checkpoint.
"Okay, you
"I want to buy a digital tablet." Yu Ning told him her difficulties helplessly.
A good digital tablet is not cheap. It seems that Yu Ning chose the former between the digital tablet and cosmetics, but she is reluctant to part with the latter, which is why she is stretched.Seeing Xi Meng's pensive look, Yu Jun was afraid that he would really spend money to buy cosmetics for his sister, so he said first: "Life is like this, you can't get everything, you have to make a choice, you know? Besides, you are not ugly. , the skin is not bad, there is no need to put on makeup every day!" After finishing speaking, he did not forget to wink at Xi Meng who felt compassionate.
Yu Ning waited for a long time, and found that Xi Meng was finally persuaded by her brother, and said pitifully, "Okay."
"Hey! You three, come out to eat!" Xia Zhiyuan shouted outside, "And the one in the study!"
Hearing the chef's call, people waiting to eat came out of the room one after another.
The food on the table was very rich, and the most eye-catching thing was the sweet and sour fish made with sushi vinegar. Xi Meng was surprised to find that this fish did not look much different from the sweet and sour fish he usually saw, but the smell was very unique. "Thank you." Xi Meng took the rice served by Yu Ning with both hands.
After Xia Zhiyuan sat down, he said, "Try it, this rice was won by you today."
"This rice is very good for cooking." Yu Yi looked at the plump rice grains, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the children, "We will continue to work hard next year."
Hearing the elders' encouragement, they glanced at each other and nodded in unison: "Okay."
After the garden party, the atmosphere of the New Year is even stronger.In previous years, Yu Jun's family would take grandma home from the nursing home for the New Year, but this year grandma is already at her aunt's house. After discussion, the parents decided to go to the aunt's house for a New Year's Eve dinner.At this time last year, Xi Meng's parents were divorcing, and a few years ago, they went to a hotel for a New Year's Eve dinner together.Compared with the bustle of every household in the box or the lobby, the New Year's Eve dinner for their family of three always seemed extraordinarily deserted, so Xi Meng didn't like going out for New Year's Eve dinner very much.
Hearing that Yu Jun's family has been making New Year's Eve dinners at home, Xi Meng was very envious and asked, "Is the whole family preparing it together?"
"Almost, but my dad is in charge." Yu Jun was surprised to see Xi Meng, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect my dad to cook, right?" Xi Meng nodded, "My dad cooks delicious food, and there are ordinary restaurants The level of a chef! But he likes to eat my mother's cooking, so he doesn't usually cook."
Xi Meng was taken aback, then smiled and said, "That's great."
Yu Jun knew that Xi Meng had no grandparents since he was a child, and his grandparents passed away when he was in junior high school, so the family has always been relatively deserted.Now he only lives with his mother, Yu Jun can't help but worry about how he will celebrate the New Year this time, although there are always different ways to celebrate the New Year when there are many people, but Yu Jun always feels sorry for Xi Meng when he thinks that his home is so lively.Moreover, during dinner just now, Jun Yu received another difficult task - after their family had dinner at his aunt's house on New Year's Eve, he had to live with his younger sister at his aunt's house and stay with grandma to watch the new year.He had to wait until after the dinner on the first day of the new year to go home at the earliest, but those two days were when lonely people were most likely to feel lonely.It would be great if Xi Meng could go to his aunt's house with him, but Yu Jun also knew that this idea was too unrealistic.
When he was worrying and depressed about this matter, Xi Meng suddenly said: "By the way, the candy given out at the garden party today included the kind of candy that Grandpa Wei usually eats. Did you find it?"
Yu Jun, who was thinking about something, was startled when he heard it, and said in surprise: "Really?"
"Well, I rummaged through it just now and found two." Xi Meng took one out of his pocket and handed it to him, "Here."
Yu Jun took the candy in surprise, tore open the package and put it in his mouth. The fruit-flavored candy not only had the same packaging, but also tasted exactly the same.He ate the candy happily, and said with emotion: "This year's neighborhood committee is rich!"
Xi Meng muttered curiously: "I don't know how Grandpa Wei celebrates the New Year alone. Does the neighborhood committee have condolence activities?"
"Well, there will be in previous years, and this year it shouldn't fall." Yu Jun asked, "Is there only one?" His saliva was sweetened by the juice in the candy.
He nodded: "I ate one before eating."
"Oh..." Jun Yu nodded thoughtfully.
Xi Meng looked at it for a moment, and guessed what he wanted to do from his subtle expressions.He heard a crisp sound from Jun Yu's mouth, it was he who bit off the candy.Yu Jun blinked at Xi Meng, pulled him to a dark corner behind the building, and put half a candy into his mouth.
"Hmm..." Accidentally, Xi Meng choked on their saliva, and he smiled embarrassedly, "Lemon flavor?"
Yu Jun took his hand, and the smell of lemon fell on the corner of his lips: "Isn't that the one you ate?"
"It's orange flavor." Xi Meng shook his head, regretting that he didn't find a chance to share it with Yu Jun.
Before parting at night, Xi Meng took advantage of the steam cafe not closed, and planned to buy two loaves of French bread for the next day's breakfast.But the bread was sold out, and there was only one piece of orange mousse left in the glass cabinet. Xi Meng bought this piece of mousse, thinking that he didn't have any candy for Jun Yu.
Yu Jun was helping his mother to pick up the courier at the computer repair shop that served as a collection point. When he found a familiar cardboard box on the shelf, he said to the shop owner, "Let me take this package to Grandpa Wei."
The shop owner who was installing the system said in embarrassment: "Grandpa Wei passed away. I was not there when the courier arrived, so I stayed here. The courier will come tomorrow, and this will be returned."
Yu Jun's heart sank suddenly, he looked at Xi Meng who had just entered the door, his face was also full of shock and bewilderment.
"When did it happen?" Yu Jun asked hurriedly.
The shop owner sighed, "Last week? It wasn't the weekend, and everyone hasn't had their annual holiday yet. I heard that the funeral is relatively simple."
Xi Meng didn't know anything about the old man except that he had delivered parcels to Grandpa Wei. He asked worriedly, "Who will take care of his funeral? His family?"
"I don't know about this." The shopkeeper shook his head regretfully.
☆, 3rd.
The one-day stoppage of rain seemed to be just for that joyful garden party. Not long after Xi Meng returned home at night, the drizzle started again, quickly wetting the ground that hadn't had time to dry.He watered the flowers on the balcony, and went back to his room to take out pen, ink and rice paper to practice calligraphy.
It was very late when he said goodbye to Jun Yu, and not long after, Jun Yu sent him a message saying good night.Xi Menglin's "Ling Fei Jing" came at one o'clock in the morning, thinking that he hadn't posted on Moments for a long time, and it was already the New Year's Eve. He should post something before the year, so he took a photo of his half-written copybook , sent to the circle of friends.
Unexpectedly, when he came out of the shower, he found that Yu Jun, who had said good night to him long ago, commented in Moments, asking him to write the word "spring" for his family this year.Xi Meng smiled when he saw his comment. It was 2 minutes ago when he saw his comment, so he sent him a message and asked: Are you still awake?
Yu Jun: I couldn't fall asleep.You have been writing until just now?
Xi Meng guessed that he, like himself, was very worried when he heard the news of Grandpa Wei's death, so he couldn't sleep peacefully.Well, writing some words can be reassuring. —— After writing this sentence, Xi Meng felt uncomfortable, so he deleted this sentence and changed it to: Mmm.Is there still time to write the word "spring"?You have to go to aunt's place tomorrow morning, and I don't know any stationery store that is still open to sell red paper.
Yu Jun: [in a daze] Also, okay.it's a pity!But it’s okay, I saw my aunt said in my family’s group that grandma made brown sugar rice cakes, and I’ll bring them back to you the day after tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, Jun Yu’s family still had a group. Xi Meng replied: [Very happy] Okay ~ go to bed early, I’ll dry my hair and go to sleep.good night~
Jun Yu: Good night~have a good dream~
Even so, Xi Meng still didn't sleep after drying his hair, but continued to read the unfinished scriptures.As he was writing, he caught a glimpse of the colored ink on the table and suddenly had an idea.Xi Meng tore off a corner of the rice paper, cut out a square, and wrote "Spring" squarely on it, then walked out of the room softly, found a small bowl in the kitchen, took it back to the room and poured it into the bowl. Put on some bright and fiery colored ink.Putting the word "spring" in front of the colored ink, Xi Meng hesitated for a moment, guessing that this would blur the original written characters.
He sat worriedly for a while, then simply found a piece of white cardboard, cut out a new square, and put it in colored ink to smudge.Now there is red paper, but how to give away the word "Spring" the size of a palm?This became a new problem.The dyed colored paper would not be dry for a while, so Xi Meng climbed into bed, turned off the lights and went to sleep after washing his hands.Before he fell asleep, he suddenly thought of a good way, and immediately turned on the light and got up.
Xi Meng picked up the square photo frame on the bedside, looked at the photo of himself and Tieria on it, hesitated for a moment, and finally took the photo down.He kept this group photo in a wooden box in the drawer, wiped the frame carefully with alcohol, and the frame looked brand new in a blink of an eye.Everything was ready, just writing on paper, Xi Meng went back to bed and fell asleep peacefully.
He slept late, and when he woke up he habitually touched his cell phone, and found that there was a message from Mr. Yu on it, saying that they were about to go to his aunt's house. "Oops!" Xi Meng got up violently, his headache was about to split, he supported his aching forehead, and sent a message back to Jun Yu: Are you leaving?
After a while, Yu Jun replied: "I am going downstairs."you're awake?
You still have time.Xi Meng quickly said: Wait a minute, I will give you "spring".Wait for me at Exit 4 of the underground garage?
Yu Jun: [Surprised] Good~
In order to prevent Yu Jun's family from waiting because Yu Jun was also because of him, Xi Meng hurriedly wrote "Spring" on the colored paper with a pen, put on his coat, and went out without changing his clothes and shoes.In the elevator, he casually brushed his sleepy hair, and blew on the ink on the colored paper, hoping that the words on it would dry quickly.
Exit 4 is the closest to the downstairs of his house. After getting out of the elevator, Xi Meng drew a sign of the cross on his chest, hoping that Jun Yu's family would not send Jun Yu to that exit for the convenience of his son. He looks like this now But it was embarrassing.Seeing Yu Jun waiting by the exit alone, Xi Meng breathed a sigh of relief, walked over quickly wearing cotton slippers, and put the colored paper upside down into the photo frame.
"It's the same if you give it to me after I come back." Seeing his sleepy look, Yu Jun found it both funny and distressed, and he brushed Xi Meng's messy hair.
Xi Meng smiled shyly, and gave him the photo frame with both hands: "It's already the Spring Festival when you come back, so you can't make it in time."
I have to say that Xi Meng's hard pen calligraphy is indeed more childish and cute than his calligraphy.Yu Jun was moved and held the photo frame with "spring" on it, and put it in front of Xi Meng again, and said with a smile: "Spring is here."
After hearing this, he scratched his cheek in embarrassment, and hurriedly urged him: "Go quickly, don't let uncles and aunts wait for you. Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." Yu Jun scratched his hair again, "Go back and sleep in the cage."
After settling this matter, Xi Meng was able to go home and catch up on sleep.When he changed into a pair of clean cotton slippers at the entrance, he suddenly remembered that it was no longer raining outside.
Gao Lanlan seemed to have stayed up the night before, until now the door was still closed, and Xi Meng quietly returned to the room and continued to sleep.This sleep lasted until noon, and Gao Lanlan was already working in the study when he woke up.Xi Meng knew that her mother would go to Canada this month, and everything was ready, but she didn't mention whether he would also go with her.Xi Meng was depressed about this matter for a while, and then he realized that if Gao Lanlan asked him to go with him, then he should have started to go through the formalities, instead of writing leisurely homework for the winter vacation every day and spending his free time. time.
If Gao Lanlan doesn't need him to go abroad together, what should he do in the future?Are you going to Papa?After the previous question was answered, new questions followed.Xi Meng wanted to ask his mother about the next arrangement several times, but every time he passed the study and saw her working seriously in it, he didn't know how to ask.
At noon, no one at home cooks lunch.When the delivery boy delivered pizza to Xi Meng, he joked that he still eats takeaway on New Year's Eve.Xi Meng smiled mischievously, took the pizza and drinks back to the kitchen, and called his mother out for lunch.Gao Lanlan replied in the study, let him eat first, so Xi Meng had to sit in the living room alone and eat his lunch while watching a movie.
It doesn't look like New Year's Eve at all.Xi Meng thought about this in his heart out of boredom, just for a moment.Soon, he got used to going back to his room to study by himself. Since his mother didn't say what to eat for the New Year's Eve dinner, Xi Meng simply didn't think about it.Even so, deep down in Xi Meng's heart, he still hoped that Gao Lanlan would remember that it was the New Year's Eve, and no matter how bad it was, he should use a rice cooker to cook a portion of rice.But he never expected that Gao Lanlan would come out of the study and ask, "Xi Meng, can you still order takeaway?"
Xi Meng, who was writing the simulation paper, was stunned when he heard it. He turned his head in a daze and asked, "Do you still eat takeaway?"
"If you can't get it, just cook." Gao Lanlan turned around after speaking, and said to herself in annoyance, "I don't know if there are any supermarkets selling vegetables now."
Xi Meng frowned displeasedly, got up from the desk, and walked quickly to the kitchen: "I cook."
Not long after the raw rice was put into the rice cooker, Gao Lanlan changed into her clothes and went out.She said she was going out to buy vegetables, but Xi Meng, who had been depressed for a long time, thought that it was strange to be able to buy vegetables at this time.Sure enough, about 10 to [-] minutes later, Gao Lanlan came back from the outside, holding a pack of Cantonese-style sausages in her hand, and said regretfully, "There is no food."
Of course.Xi Meng was so annoyed that he held back his temper and said, "Put the sausage in the rice."
Gao Lanlan took off her coat, opened the refrigerator, took out three eggs and a tomato, and said, "Let me fix it, you go to rest."
Xi Meng is not in the mood to cook with her, and the scarce ingredients don't require two people to be in the kitchen at the same time.He groaned and went back to the room.
After an unknown amount of time, the smell of rice bowls wafted from the kitchen, and Xi Meng, who was already very hungry, was writing the test paper resentfully, sitting motionless at the desk.At this time, the songs of the Spring Festival Gala had already sounded from every household, but in Xi Meng's house, there was not only no laughter, but no sound of conversation.
"Xi Meng, come out to eat!" Gao Lanlan called him outside.Although Xi Meng agreed, he still bent over his desk to write the test paper.After a while, Gao Lanlan came to the door of his room and asked, "Do you want me to bring the food to your room?"
Xi Meng's pen paused, he gritted his teeth, and after screwing the cap of the pen, he slowly got up and walked to the dining room with his head buried.
In the bright restaurant, two tomato and egg rice bowls are decorated with sliced Cantonese-style sausages. If this is not a New Year's Eve dinner, the appearance is actually very pleasing.
The mother and son sat on both sides of the dining table, eating their New Year's Eve dinner without saying a word.Because of the difference in distance, the singing sounds from all over seemed to be repeated one after another, like countless evening parties, which made the coldness of their home even more apparent.The moment the rice bowl was first eaten, the hungry Xi Meng felt that he was saved. However, when the food and clothing were resolved, the food became tasteless.He stirred the tasteless rice bowl, opened his mouth, and looked up to ask his mother about her plan, but saw her get up and leave.
Discouraged, Xi Meng continued to stir the rice on the plate.What the hell is this called?There seemed to be thousands of knots in Xi Meng's heart that could not be untied. He rubbed his eyes wearily, put down the spoon again, and vigorously wiped the ink marks left by the pen on the middle finger of his right hand.Suddenly, a red envelope and a pen were placed in front of Xi Meng. Xi Meng was taken aback, and looked up at Gao Lanlan who was seated again without knowing why.
"I have used this pen for nearly 20 years, and the quality is good. I recently changed the nib. If you don't mind, keep using it." Gao Lanlan was already full, and she wiped her mouth with a tissue. "The red envelope is your lucky money. Give it to you in advance."
Xi Meng saw Gao Lanlan use this pen since she was a child, and she never changed it.Seeing her handing over the pen to him now, he was very nervous, and hurriedly said, "I have a pen..."
"Xi Meng." She interrupted him, and after a short silence, she smiled lightly, "After the Chinese New Year, mom will go abroad. Since you don't want to go with mom, mom won't force you. You want to It's up to you to live or go to your father's place, but your mother will still provide you with all living expenses before you terminate your studies."
These were all things that Xi Meng had a premonition before, but for some reason, when he really heard Gao Lanlan say it, he still felt empty in his heart.He loosened his tight lips and said sadly: "Mom, it's not that I don't like you..."
"I know." She interrupted him again, smiling frankly.
Xi Meng felt extremely uncomfortable. Until not long ago, he was still secretly angry with Gao Lanlan, but now that Gao Lanlan said this, how could he let go of it?Holding the pen in his hand, he unscrewed the cap a few times, then tightened it again, speechless.
"When you grow up, you have to take good care of yourself in the future." At this point, a trace of sadness flashed across her face, and she quickly said softly, "After listening to what Jun Yu said that day, I know he likes you very much. What about you? Do you like him too?"
He trembled slightly, gripped the pen tightly, looked back at her gentle gaze, and nodded sadly and seriously.
After watching, Gao Lanlan smiled.She nodded reassuringly: "Mom also thinks he is a very good child. This kind of thing is not new now. If you like each other, take good care of each other in the future and make progress together."
Xi Meng's heart trembled violently, and he stared blankly at Gao Lanlan: "Mom..."
"Does Mr. Yu's parents know about you?" She ignored her son's bewilderment, but asked with concern.
He froze for a moment and shook his head.
Gao Lanlan frowned lightly, sighed softly, and said, "When you tell them in the future, you should talk about it just like you told me last time."
Xi Meng nodded, seeing Gao Lanlan get up to pack the tableware, he hurriedly stood up after him.Gao Lanlan had already picked up his plate, and said with a smile, "I'll clean it up." His heart sank, and with a lot of guilt, he said gratefully, "Thank you, Mom."
Her smile was very shallow under the pale light, but there was a deep light in her eyes.
☆、4th.
"Really?!" Yu Jun asked excitedly on the other end of the phone, "Auntie, did she really say that?"
Except for the last time he lost his temper at himself, Xi Meng had never heard Yu Jun speak so loudly. He heard that he put the phone away from his ear in a funny way, and after a while he calmed down, he said happily: "Well, Really. She went abroad after the new year, and I agreed with her to live in this place by myself."
Yu Jun still couldn't hide his excitement, and said with emotion: "I really want to go out and run around!"
"Then go run for a couple of laps before calling me." Xi Meng said jokingly.
He smirked on the other end of the phone, and said to himself happily: "Then when will I tell my parents?"
After hearing this, Xi Meng hurriedly said: "Don't say it yet, just wait a little longer." Although it would be great if you can get the consent of both parents, and Xi Meng also knows that Yu Jun's parents are reasonable and good people, but He didn't want to take another risk during the Chinese New Year. If Jun Yu's parents disagreed, it would be difficult for them to deal with what happened later.
"Hmm..." Yu Jun hesitated, and finally agreed, "Okay! Hey, the brown sugar rice cakes made by grandma are delicious. I'll bring some for you and auntie tomorrow."
After learning that Gao Lanlan agreed with them to be together, Xi Meng also hoped that Jun Yu could meet her more before she went abroad.In this way, Gao Lanlan will understand what a good person Yu Jun is, and she will feel more at ease.Xi Meng said happily: "Okay. I ate takeaway at noon, and rice with rice in the evening. It has no New Year flavor at all. It is best to eat rice cakes."
Yu Jun said with pity: "Why is the food so bad?"
Xi Meng sighed slightly, and then told all the things that happened that day since we parted ways with him. After finishing speaking, he happened to meet the New Year's Eve Gala on TV, but in reality, gorgeous fireworks were going up everywhere.It wasn't just Xi Meng here, he also heard the sound of fireworks coming from the phone, as if the fireworks he saw at this moment were the same as what Jun Yu saw.None of them spoke, but watched the fireworks in the sky quietly, unable to guess where and who sent them into the sky.
"It's so beautiful..." Xi Meng admired softly, and said with a smile, "It's better not to live in the city center."
Yu Jun laughed after hearing this.
They agreed to meet up on the night of the first day of the new year, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. During dinner on the first day of the new year, Jun Yu's grandma had the idea of going out for a walk on the second day of the new year.Of course, the juniors couldn’t refuse the old man’s request, especially her beloved children and grandchildren, so Yu Jun and his sister stayed at the aunt’s house for another night, and went to the park with his cousin and grandma on the morning of the second day of junior high.
The old man is very fond of flowers and plants. When the children want to take pictures of her, she must choose a background full of flowers.Yu Jun's camera is full of grandma and brilliant flowers. Sometimes she is amused by the children, smiling like a flower, and sometimes her eyes are empty, with a touch of sadness on her quiet face.In the afternoon, Yu Yi drove to take the couple home, and Jun Yu brought brown sugar rice cakes for Xi Meng's family.
At the dinner table of the reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve, grandma gave the children a traditional etiquette education, saying that they should stay at home for the first two days of the new year, and it is impolite to go out to visit.Although Mr. Yu was skeptical about this tradition, but his parents were there at that time, he of course nodded to explain.In this way, even if he came back from his aunt's house on the second night of the new year, it would be inconvenient for him to tell his parents that he was going to Xi Meng's house to pay New Year's greetings.On the way, he was worried that he would not find an excuse to go out when he got home, so he sent a message to Xi Meng to agree to let him wait in the commercial street to receive his New Year cake.
When he gave the brown sugar rice cake to Xi Meng, he was full of apology and said, "I'll come out in the middle of the night at worst."
"I'm going to bed in the middle of the night." Xi Meng knew that Yu Jun was very sorry for his missed appointment, but he didn't mind, "See you tomorrow."
Yu Jun slumped his shoulders helplessly: "Okay."
Knowing that Gao Lanlan agreed to the relationship between the two, Yu Jun really wanted to stay with Xi Meng all the time. If they should be studying hard at this time, he could bring the exercise book and test paper collection to Xi Meng. At home, study with him.Back home, Yu Jun sat at the desk and was bored doing quizzes, while Yu Ning was developing sushi-making skills in the kitchen.I wonder what Gao Lanlan's attitude will be when he sees him again now?Yu Jun also wanted to express his determination to her again, but he was afraid that he would appear too exaggerated.
After finishing a simulation paper, Yu Jun suddenly remembered that there was another important matter, and quickly took out the mobile phone in the drawer to send a message to Xi Meng: Since you are not going abroad, shall we go to Beijing to go to university?
He spread out another mock paper and silently wrote two lines of poems: Erbur's words, the body is free from blame.Come with Erche, bribe with me.
Xi Meng replied: Do you really want to go to Beijing?
Did Xi Meng think that what he said to Gao Lanlan last time was just foreshadowing the future?Jun Yu pouted in dissatisfaction, and replied seriously: Well, I told my grandma to take her to see it later.But is this reason too perfunctory?
Xi Meng: No.Since you want to go, let's go to the school there. Anyway, many schools are good.
Yu Jun just likes Xi Meng's calm appearance, which makes him instantly full of confidence.He said: But it is not easy to be admitted to the same school. It seems that I have to write an extra test paper tonight!
Xi Meng: [in a daze] [in a daze] But I'm at your door, will I disturb your self-study?
"Huh?!" Yu Jun held the phone and stood up immediately.
At this time, Xia Zhiyuan's voice and Xi Meng's greeting came from outside.Jun Yu quickly screwed on the cap of the pen, walked out quickly, and saw Xi Meng coming to visit with a gift box.After changing his shoes, Xi Meng asked with a smile, "Have you finished writing the test paper?"
"How can it be so fast..." Yu Jun hurriedly stepped forward, took the gift box he sent, and asked, "What is this?"
Xi Meng was not sure, and said, "Let's have some pastries for the Spring Festival."
Xia Zhiyuan said politely: "Come here, why do you still bring these?"
"It's not good to come empty-handed during the Chinese New Year, and Yu Jun gave me some rice cakes this afternoon. My mother and I both like them very much. This is a thank you gift." Xi Meng looked curiously into the kitchen and greeted the people inside, "Ning Ning ?Happy New Year."
Yu Ning was pinching sushi in the kitchen, and ran out to say hello, "Happy New Year!"
The name of the hotel was written on the packaging of the gift box. Yu Jun guessed that it might be a product of the hotel, but when he asked Xi Meng, it turned out that Gao Lanlan's gift certificate was exchanged for company benefits.When they returned to the room, Xi Meng found that Yu Jun was writing the simulation paper, and remembered a math problem they discussed last time, and then told him about another proof method that he thought of later.
Jun Yu dug out the question and rewrote the proof process according to the method he said. After a long while, he shook his head in disapproval: "I think the one I said last time is better, this one is too roundabout."
"Really?" Xi Meng reserved his opinion on this, and shrugged indifferently, "Come here if it's convenient."
They chose the latter between writing the test paper and watching TV with Xia Zhiyuan, so they walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down as if nothing had happened, chatting with Xia Zhiyuan about the plot.Xi Meng hugged the glutinous rice balls and sat beside him, watched TV for a while, and asked, "Are they together?"
"It's divided again." Xia Zhiyuan peeled an orange and handed it to him.
"Break up?" Xi Meng's memory of the couple on TV is still the last time he went to Yu Jun's house to watch TV, and he didn't expect to watch it at this time, the plot has developed so far.He broke off half of the orange and handed it to Jun Yu, and asked, "What season is this?"
Yu Jun replied on his behalf: "The fourth season."
Xia Zhiyuan also had a good understanding of the behind-the-scenes of the TV series. He ate an orange and said, "The male lead resigned last season because he thought the salary was too low, so the scriptwriter wrote that they broke up. Later, the salary was negotiated, so he came back again. "
So that's the case, Xi Meng nodded clearly.He caught a glimpse of Yu Yi coming out of the study with a red envelope, hurriedly put down the orange peel in his hand, and wiped his hands.
"Here, happy new year, progress in studies." Yu Yi gave him the red envelope, "Get a good grade in the college entrance examination."
Xi Meng didn't expect to receive lucky money when he came to pay New Year's greetings, so he shyly accepted the red envelope and said, "Thank you uncle, I wish you all the best in the coming year."
Xia Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I'm also in it."
"I also wish auntie all wishes come true, live younger and more beautiful." Xi Meng said hastily.
Yu Jun looked sideways when he heard this, and joked, "Your mouth is so sweet."
Xia Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at his son and said, "Do you think everyone owes you as much as you do?"
"Hey, hey!" Yu Jun reminded her dissatisfiedly who is her real son.
There was 1000 yuan in the red envelope, and Yu Jun and Yu Ning, who had never received lucky money from their parents, were envious.When Xi Meng learned that they hadn't taken the lucky money from their parents, he was very surprised and asked, "Why?"
"They said that their money is ours in the end." Yu Ning spread her hands, "And said that the money they gave to other children, the elders of other families will return it to us."
Yu Jun poured ink into the pen and complained: "They don't understand the meaning of New Year's money at all!"
Xi Meng thought about what Jun Yu's parents said carefully, but felt that it was not unreasonable.He took out five hundred yuan from the red envelope and handed it to Yu Ning: "Take it to buy a digital tablet, although it's not enough."
Seeing this, not only Yu Ning, but even Yu Jun was stunned.Yu Ning rubbed her hands, and asked with disbelief on her face, "Is it really for me?" Although she asked, she took the money while asking, "Thank you! I am so grateful!"
Xi Meng knew that she had a dream of becoming an illustrator, and he did not lack the five hundred yuan, so he decided to support her in action.Seeing her happy appearance, Mr. Yu reminded him: "You can only buy a digital tablet. If I find out that you bought other useless things, no one will give you money in the future."
"I swear, I swear." Yu Ning raised three fingers as a pledge.
Xi Meng only sat at Yu Jun's house for a while, and he said goodbye before dinner was prepared at his house.On the second day of the new year, Xia Zhiyuan and his wife did not leave other children to eat at home, but let him go home to eat with his family.When saying goodbye, Xia Zhiyuan insisted on asking Xi Meng to take some oranges from the house, and he thanked his aunt repeatedly.Just after going downstairs, Xi Meng suddenly heard Yu Jun calling his name, turned around and found him running down in three steps at a time, panting and laughing and said: "I told my mother to help her buy salt. I will take you home ?”
"Is there no salt at home?" Xi Meng asked in surprise.
Jun Yu shrugged and said, "When Ning Ning was making sushi in the afternoon, I knocked over a box of salt, and I bought some to prepare. Hey, salt is not the point!"
Xi Meng understood, he smiled and nodded.
On the way home, they agreed to deposit the lucky money received by Xi Meng into the account they had established together.Yu Jun said that he has put all the New Year's money received so far, and if he receives any more before the end of the winter vacation, he will keep it for daily pocket expenses.Xi Meng blinked in surprise, and said with a smile, "Me too."
"There should be quite a lot of money in the account now." Yu Jun said pleasantly.
He thought for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "Not too much, because I only received the New Year's money from my mother, and I don't know if I should go to my father's house to pay New Year's greetings."
Dad's house?Yu Jun felt uncomfortable when he heard it, but Xi Meng said it very naturally.He said, "When are you going? Let me accompany you there? Just wait for you outside."
Xi Meng felt his intentions and smiled gratefully.
Gao Lanlan was cooking dinner at home, waiting for her son to come back.She didn't expect that it was actually two children who came back to the door, and she was startled.
"Auntie, Happy New Year." Yu Jun broke through the awkward atmosphere and greeted proactively.
Gao Lanlan also put aside the embarrassment, and invited Jun Yu into the house: "Happy New Year. Have you eaten yet? I am cooking, let's eat together."
Although her greeting was not warm, Yu Jun was still flattered and declined quickly: "No, my family is cooking too. I'll come out to help my mother buy salt, and borrow an exercise book from Xi Meng by the way." He didn't dare to tell Gao Lanlan, he He just wanted to send Xi Meng home.
Xi Meng tacitly went back to the room and found him an exercise book: "Here."
"Okay, thank you." Yu Jun stood at the porch all the time, without changing into the cotton slippers that Gao Lanlan put out, and said politely, "Auntie, I'm going back first, they are waiting for me to eat."
Just looking at the braised pork in the pot, Gao Lanlan hurried out of the kitchen again and called him: "Hey, wait a minute!"
Jun Yu had already opened the door, he was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at Xi Meng inexplicably.Seeing his mother walking into the study, Xi Meng shook his head in puzzlement.They waited for a while, and Gao Lanlan came out with a red envelope and handed it to Jun Yu: "Happy New Year, progress in studies. Get a good grade in the college entrance examination."
She said exactly the same words as Yu Jun's father, and both Xi Meng and Yu Jun were stunned.Gao Lanlan saw that Yu Jun hadn't accepted the red envelope for a long time, so she gave him a puzzled look.Yu Jun came back to his senses, took the red envelope with both hands, and said, "Thank you, Auntie, and I wish you all the best."
☆、1st.
After the festival, the airport was crowded with people, countless people who went out and returned, the sadness of parting and the joy of reunion were written on the faces of travelers.
In order to check in her luggage, Gao Lanlan waited in line for half an hour.Xi Meng originally thought that his mother would wait with them until the boarding time and then go through the security check after the check-in procedure was over. Unexpectedly, she left the queue and proposed to go to the security check immediately.Yu Jun looked at the reluctant Xi Meng, and together with him sent Gao Lanlan to the security checkpoint.
"Okay, you
