"Eat more." Qi Nuliang served Jiang Yu a big bowl with meat and soup.

There was no mutton soup on the day of the winter solstice. Two days later, when Jiang Yu was on vacation, Qi Nuliang went directly to make a pot and came back, and the two of them ate around the stove at home.He packed a double portion of meat, in order to let Jiang Yu eat to his heart's content, but he didn't finish the portion of meat, so Jiang Yu didn't like to move his chopsticks anymore.

Ever since I ran into him drying his underpants, I can see that he has been preoccupied and not in a good mood these days.Qi Nuliang thought that it was the first time in the year that no one told him what was going on, which made him think that he was sick and trembled in fear for a long time.Jiang Yu is smarter and more knowledgeable than him. Could it be that he doesn't know that this is a normal physiological phenomenon?

"Is it almost the end of the term?"

"Ah."

"Don't stress too much, it's just the final exam, it doesn't matter."

"Ah."

Jiang Yu held a bowl of soup and couldn't finish it for a long time. He agreed, absent-minded, and his spirit was a little listless.

Qi Nuliang put down his chopsticks: "This is not a big deal, men will be like this when they reach their teens, don't be depressed."

Jiang Yu raised his face, a little dazed.

"I mean that night you...cough...梦梦#梦想."

There was no one else in this family to count on, so Qi Nuliang had no choice but to bite the bullet and rely on his little experience from those who had experienced it to educate the children.

He picked up the chopsticks, stood them upright on the table, stroked the chopsticks up and down with the other hand, and continued: "Ten days and a half months, you can solve it with your hands like this, and you won't fall asleep." I fell asleep and stained my trousers." Qi Nuliang put down his chopsticks, and he was also embarrassed, but when it came to this point, he had to say, "Don't do it all the time, it's bad for your health, you know."

After Jiang Yu heard him finish speaking, every word fell into his ears like flint, turning him into a boiling teapot, his face was burning red, and he wished his whole body was steaming.

He put down the bowls and chopsticks: "I'm full." After speaking, he returned to his room and closed the door.

Qi Nuliang stared at the closed door for a while, squeezed his neck and coughed a few times, relaxing his throat that was a little tight due to embarrassment.

After a while, he knocked on Jiang Yu's door: "I'll put the soup pot in the kitchen. If you're hungry, just put it on the stove and boil it to eat. I have something to do, so I'll go out first." .”

After speaking, he put his ear on the door for a while, but he didn't hear any echo, thinking that the kid was quite thin-skinned, so he stopped disturbing him and went out.

In a blink of an eye, it's the New Year's Eve again.

The "accident" in the growth process did not affect him. Jiang Yu did very well in the final exam. In just one semester, he rushed from the grade of more than 200 to the top [-]. Even his class teacher thought it was incredible.

Qi Nuliang originally planned to take him to the warm south for a visit, but because the senior high school entrance examination was imminent, under the double obstacles of shortened vacations and piles of homework during the winter vacation, he couldn't go anywhere.Except that Qi Nuliang went to the city on the New Year's Eve, both of them spent the New Year's Eve in Hongcheng.

On the first day of last year, Qi Nuliang couldn't face Yao Huilan because of guilt, so he didn't visit her grave.For a year, he let go a little bit. On this day, he came to her grave with Jiang Yu.

Still in that small hollow, the thick weeds on the mound covered the entire tombstone.The two of them pulled it out with bare hands for a long time before they cleared out the small grave, lit joss sticks and a pile of paper money in front of the tombstone.

When the pile of paper money was about to burn out, Qi Nuliang took out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and put it on the pile of paper money ashes.Fresh fuel came, the flames slammed up, and the paper quickly became charred.The flames also took it to the world that people can't reach.

"This is Xiaoyu's final report card. He is doing very well in his studies, just like you were when he was studying. He has always been in the top of the class. The teacher said he is very smart." Qi Nuliang looked at the photo on the tombstone, Xu Xu Nagging, "He will be admitted to high school next semester, and the teacher said that it will be no problem for him to be admitted to Hongzhong.

"Xiaolan, remember to bless him with good grades in the high school entrance examination, and in the university entrance exam... In short, you bless him to pass the entrance examination, and I will support him to study."

After finishing speaking, Qi Nuliang paused for a while, then put his hand on the top of the tombstone, as if patting her shoulder: "Xiao Yu is fine, don't worry."

After Qi Nuliang finished speaking, he stepped aside, Jiang Yu came forward and kowtowed three times to his mother.

He didn't say anything, he just said silently in his heart, telling his mother not to worry about his studies, but to bless and bless Qi Nuliang for safety and success.

In the end, Qi Nuliang said that weeds always grow on her grave, should she repair it again, cover all the graves with stone bricks, and erect a larger monument again.

"The stone brick is hard, I think she must be uncomfortable sleeping in it." Jiang Yu pondered for a moment, "Why don't I buy some flower seeds and sprinkle them on it, she used to like to grow flowers, but there is no balcony at home. Now it's all right, the whole The land is hers, so she can plant it as much as she likes."

Qi Nuliang was amazed that the child could say such words, but somehow felt ironic and comforting.Jiang Yu's gentle words were like putting a band-aid on his painful spot.

"Let's do it this way. When it gets warmer in a few days, I'll go buy seeds."

After the first spring rain, Qi Nuliang went to the seed station first, but he was told that only grain seeds were sold there, not flower seeds, so he was told to go to a flower shop.

Qi Nuliang ran to several flower shops, and they either sold flowers or green plants, not flower seeds.He almost finished shopping the entire flower and bird market in Hongcheng, and finally found some Gesang flowers and sun flowers in a store.

Just after paying the money and going out, I ran into Rong Bamei who came to buy flowers.

Bamei Rong's small supermarket has already been completed and is ready to open. She came to buy two flower baskets for herself and put them in front of the door, which is considered a good fortune.

Without further ado, Qi Nuliang bought six of them in one go, saying that he wished her the opening of her new store.

Bamei Rong rarely showed some embarrassment: "I'm really sorry to make you spend so much money."

"We're all friends, don't say such polite words."

Rong Bamei saw that his hands were empty: "What are you here to buy? Have you bought it yet?"

"I bought some flower seeds." Qi Nuliang showed her the plastic bag in his pocket, "Scatter some on Xiaolan's grave, so that her grave won't be full of weeds."

Rong Bamei smiled: "I can't tell, you are quite romantic."

Qi Nuliang scratched his eyebrows, a little embarrassed: "This is Jiang Yu's idea, how could I think of such things."

"Jiang Yu, why haven't you seen him much during this time?"

"It's three months before the senior high school entrance examination. I'm busy studying. The teacher requires all prospective candidates to live on campus. He comes back once a week."

"He's good at studying, no problem." As Jiang Yu thought of Rong Xiaodie again, Bamei Rong sighed, "I really didn't expect that kid to be a student, and the whole daily chemical factory didn't have much money to study. The material." She looked at Qi Nuliang, "It's really thanks to you, if Sister Huilan is still here, she has to thank you too."

The two returned to the daily chemical factory together, and Qi Nuliang sent Bamei Rong to her shop.

As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Rong Xiaodie sitting in front of the steps, hugging her knees and burying her head.

"Why are you sitting here?" Rong Bamei stretched out her hand to pull her up, and when she saw her appearance, she was shocked and angry, "What's going on, why did it happen again?"

The girl's hair was torn to a mess, her clothes were covered in mud, her face was also covered with red marks, and she was still holding a compass tightly in her hand.Rong Bamei stretched out her hand to pick up the schoolbag on the ground again. It was very heavy, and when it was poured out, all the books inside were wet.

Rong Xiaodie stretched out her hand expressionlessly: "Give me the keys to the house."

Needless to say, I also knew that she had fought again at school, and she would definitely receive a call from the teacher to complain tomorrow.Rong Bamei was angry and resentful, and grabbed her by the shoulder: "Fighting again? You are a girl, you can't study well, you don't read books, and you fight like a hooligan all day long, you still have to be shameless? "

When the girl heard this, she screamed suddenly, shook off her mother's hand, turned her head and ran away.

Seeing that something was wrong, Qi Nuliang caught up with the girl in two steps, and held the little girl back: "Let's go home first. Bamei, you open the door first." Qi Nuliang didn't care about Rong Xiaodie's kicking and beating. Liang carried her into the house.

"Damn girl, you just know how to mess with me, with your temper, you deserve others not to like you..."

Hearing this, Rong Xiaodie became excited again and threw the compasses in her hand towards her mother.

Bamei Rong was stunned by her actions, she was about to lose her temper, Qi Nuliang hurriedly persuaded: "Don't say a few words, the little girl was bullied outside, don't talk about her when you come back, mother. "

Hearing this, Rong Xiaodie held back her tears and yelled at her mother, "They scolded me for not having a father, they scolded you for being a broken shoe, they scolded me for not having a father because you are a broken shoe... woo woo... ..."

Qi Nuliang quickly covered the girl's mouth.

But Bamei Rong came up and pulled his hand away: "You let her talk."

"Eight sister..."

"She's unhappy, just let her scold it."

But Rong Xiaodie stopped scolding and just squatted on the ground crying.

Bamei Rong went to pull her, but her hand was wrenched away.

Qi Nuliang squatted beside her: "Whoever said that, tell me, and I'll fix them for you."

"Old Qi, don't worry about these things, it doesn't matter if the kids fight or something."

Rong Xiaodie raised her head and stared at her with some hatred: "It's because you are like this, you are always like this, that I was scolded by others."

Bamei Rong was speechless, she turned her head away, and stood by to smoke.

Qi Nuliang patted his legs and stood up, pulling Rong Xiaodie: "Let's go, I'll take you out to relax and eat something delicious."

"Old Qi..."

"It's okay, I'll take her out for a walk, maybe I'll feel better, better than you two staring at each other."

Rong Xiaodie was also willing to go with Qi Nuliang, she stood up and took his hand.

Walking out of the shop, Rong Xiaodie stopped crying, wiped her face, and said to Qi Nuliang: "Uncle Qi, I want to eat ice cream."

"Do you want to eat ice cream in this cold weather?"

"Ah."

"Ok."

Qi Nuliang bought her an ice cream and turned up the heating in the car.Seeing the little girl digging into the ice cream and eating it wholeheartedly, she seemed to have put aside the conflict with her mother just now.

He cleared his throat and couldn't help persuading: "Actually, your mother has her own difficulties, and it's not easy. You see, she has worked very hard to open this store during this time. Don't get angry with her when you get home later. "

Rong Xiaodie nodded, and suddenly asked: "Uncle Qi, is it true that you just said that you would help me fix those villains?"

I was still thinking about this.

Qi Nuliang smiled: "It's true, someone has bullied you, let's go find him now."
