Two trees make a forest

Chapter 17 Chapter 1

Mu Xizi's second letter came a bit late, and I waited until school was about to start.When I received the letter, I complained in my heart that the postman uncle was too neglectful of his work. I really hope that she can receive the letter I wrote today.I regard Mu Xizi's letter as a treasure and put it together with the gift she gave me.This time the content of the letter is relatively simple, but it can be seen from it that Mu Xizi's life is really too busy, and her family has arranged more learning content for her than we have in class.It hurts me to see it.As soon as I put down the letter, I became more energetic, and I kept cheering myself up in my heart. I must be admitted to a university in Shanghai so that I could be with the lonely Mu Xizi as I wished.No matter how much homework she has, I can add some joy to her busy schoolwork.When I thought that Mu Xizi would see me in the future, all the fatigue would be gone. I was so excited that I opened the book with confidence again, and started to work diligently.I hope that through my own efforts, my wish will come true as soon as possible.

It started in the fifth grade.Without Mu Xizi's company, my journey to school became very lonely.Although grandma asked me to lead Tianen together, we always separated automatically when we got out of grandma's realization.Without even looking at me, he walked away with his cronies and friends.As for me, because I only hang out with Mu Xizi in the past few years, I basically have no friends.On the way to school, other people were in pairs, happy and joyful, while I was pulling the shoulder strap of my schoolbag by myself, feeling a little lonely, and walking in a hurry.

In the class, Mu Xizi's position as monitor was replaced by another classmate.She studies well and has strong abilities, but she is overwhelmed by Mu Xizi in everything, so she has always hated Mu Xizi very much.Now that Mu Xizi has finally left, and she has finally turned herself into the master, she began to feel proud. First of all, she attacked me.In the small factional struggles in the class, I never fought for fame and fortune, but my relationship with Mu Xizi was naturally included in her faction, and she was the most intimate confidant.As soon as Mu Xizi left, this faction had no leader, and I was not familiar with other people, and I didn't communicate much. Apart from being superior to others in my studies, there was nothing superior to others, so everyone found a new attachment.I, who didn't find attachments, became the target of the new squad leader's attack.I couldn't find my shortcomings in my studies, so I started to find my fault in the code of conduct.The red scarf is crooked, the hair is not combed neatly, the clothes are not neat, and there is something wrong with it. . .Everyone's public opinion didn't have much influence on me.I don't care about other people's eyes.Everyone saw that I didn't fight back, and the discussion became more serious.In the end, I became a maverick in the class, had no friends, behaved strangely, and didn't communicate with others.Even the teacher took the initiative to talk to me.I was speechless and could only shake my head and shake my head again.When I came back from the office, I became the target of everyone’s whispers again. It was rumored that I was a person with psychological problems, and it was better to be cautious with each other, or to avoid contact directly.

Such a depressive life in the class can be said to have continued from the fifth grade to the graduation of elementary school.When everyone is bored, they will point to the big guy in the last row and laugh at me.I can't be bothered.In a vicious circle, my loneliness began to spread to other classes.Sometimes on my way home, those who know me and those who don’t know me will take the initiative to give way to me, so as not to get into trouble.I guess, Li Shuang's embellishment is indispensable here.Because in the end, the rumors not only said that I was eccentric, but also that I liked to beat people without reason.Everyone respects me naturally.But this is also good, no one harassed me, I put more energy on my studies.In the fifth grade, I got the first place in the grade as I wished.I was so excited that I wrote to Mu Xizi.

My letter exchange with Mu Xizi has not stopped, and I insist on not disturbing her, basically I will write to her in the middle and end of the month.I know that Mu Xizi's blessing will not be received until the holidays, but I am still very happy in my heart.I asked my dad to find a sixth grade book to read.My dad saw that I had a strong interest in learning and supported my hard work.During the holidays, I was also allowed to do less housework.But seeing grandma's pale hair, I couldn't bear it, and often sat in the kitchen alone with a book in my hand, helping grandma with housework.

Because Tianen has a sister like me who loves to study, my father pressures me to study hard at home with me.Tianen is not like me. He has been with the children in the yard since he was a child.So as soon as my dad left, he ran away.Seeing my dad coming home, he would run back home like a loach.Grandma is in poor health, and often falls asleep sitting on the stool alone, so naturally she has no intention of caring about Tian'en.As for me, I was out of sight and out of mind, he was unwilling to learn, and I was even less lazy to teach.As long as he doesn't cause trouble, he and I will not mention the matter of making up lessons in silence.

My dad has outstanding work performance and is a well-known doer in the factory.But the new deputy director prefers sugar-coated shells.My dad was stupid, so he had to work hard to prove his ability with actions.The deputy factory manager mistakenly thought that my dad didn't know how to read the situation, and he still followed the style of the previous deputy factory manager, and felt dissatisfied.This time, my dad failed to be promoted, and Li Shuang's dad was promoted to the same level as my dad.These words are what I heard when I heard my grandma and my dad argue.Grandma asked my dad to send upstairs the good cigarettes and wine she bought as a kind reminder.My dad sat tightly on the chair, looking like he would rather die than surrender.Grandma told my dad that Li Shuang's promotion was based on the accumulation of these things.It was then that I suddenly realized why I kept seeing Li Shuang's father running upstairs all the time.Later, not only Li Shuang's father, but many people in this yard liked to run upstairs, but unfortunately, my father who was the closest didn't go.Tobacco and alcohol have been kept in his room.

The new semester has begun, and Li Shuang and Zhang Xiaoman have successfully entered the junior high school of the headquarters.What's even more remarkable is that Li Shuang moved next to my house.I really didn't see her when I looked up and saw her when I looked down.Passing by each other's dislike every day.Since then, I no longer look at the blue sky and white clouds on the balcony, but I hope to lie in my room and look at the sky framed by the narrow window.Fortunately, junior high school has morning reading, and Li Shuang always goes out before me and comes home later.So under my deliberate avoidance, the two of us can meet once a day.But when I think of her living next door to me, I feel uncomfortable.

I read all the texts in the sixth grade during the holidays, so it is very easy to learn.But in order not to relax, I asked my dad to find the textbooks for the first grade of junior high school to study in depth.If you don’t read it, you don’t know it. It’s amazing when you look at it. There are a lot of knowledge points that you can’t understand.My dad saw that I love studying so much, so he specially allocated a sum of pocket money for me to buy extracurricular books.I jumped up and down happily, and ran to the Xinhua Bookstore on the main street to choose carefully.I used to read extracurricular books directly from the bookshelf at Mu Xizi’s house.I seldom come to bookstores, even less to buy books.This time there was money in the bag, and I happily spent more than an hour looking through it carefully, and finally bought "Flowers in the Mirror" within my limited ability.I held it in my arms like a baby, bouncing happily all the way.

In order to allow us to develop morally, intellectually, physically and aesthetically, the school began to offer various interest classes, including painting, calligraphy, drumming, poetry recitation, football, and badminton. . .The teacher actively encouraged, and the students in the class also actively participated.And I seem to have no other hobbies besides reading books.Moreover, I was so focused on taking the No. [-] Middle School Exam that I had no intention of wasting my precious time elsewhere. In addition, everyone's obvious disdainful eyes made me deeply understand how much they didn't want me to participate, so I simply abstained.The teacher thought I was a nerd and didn't look for me alone.So when it was time to leave school, everyone started to move to their own interest classes, while I carried my schoolbag and walked home alone.

Since the number of interest classes has increased a lot, the children's day art show has become their time to perform.I'm one of those outsiders who just sit on a stool and admire.The students in our class are either one or the other.I sat and didn't move.My body is a bit too big, and everyone can see it at a glance, and I have become the loner "big monster" in everyone's mouth.Seeing everyone's clumsy performances on the stage, all I can think about is Mu Xizi, her piano sound, her painting, her calligraphy, absolutely killing them all.It's a pity that I seem to be the only one who knows about her specialties.Every time our class held a gala, the teacher asked the students to actively participate. I always thought that Mu Xizi would volunteer as the class leader. Unexpectedly, she chose to hide herself.I once asked her why she didn't show her talents, she smiled and explained: "It's not enough to show off. When you're ready, it's not too late to go on stage." So when you look at the stage with many flaws For acting, all I think about is Mu Xizi.I was thinking how amazing it would be for her to be ready.

In the sixth grade, I continued to sit firmly on the throne of the first grade.My dad happily led me to buy books after the end-of-school ceremony.I wandered around the bookstore excitedly, and finally chose "Dream of Red Mansions".Mu Xizi told me about this book: "This book can not only be read, but also collected." That night I read this book all night long.It's a pity that I can only read the contents, especially the poems.

One day, my dad took me to start a serious conversation about my junior high school problem.I told my dad about my goal without hesitation, and my dad happily patted me on the shoulder and said that as long as my studies are so stable and do not regress, he will definitely let me go to No. [-] middle school.I nodded happily and vowed never to lose one.So during the short winter vacation, I lived in seclusion, just to keep the first place, just to be able to go to No. [-] Middle School smoothly, just to be one step closer to Shanghai.In order to catch up with Mu Xizi, I tried my best.

Lin Duoduo really has a lot of things to do, and she can receive letters from her every month.In particular, I have clearly told her in the letter that I am very busy and may not reply in time, but she still sends letters twice a month.When I am not busy, I will reply, and when I am busy, I will forget her next letter.The content of the letter is nothing more than her daily life and study situation.She took the first grade in the exam, which was in my expectation.Li Shuang lived next door to her house, and it seemed difficult for both of them.Her father allocated funds for her to buy books, which was beyond my expectation.The school opened interest classes, and this project was already on the agenda when my dad was there.I read her letters roughly and put them in a special brocade box.It's a pen pal of mine after all.When I returned to Shanghai, I also started to go to school normally.I don’t know if I don’t go to school, but I really discovered the difference between urban and rural areas.I can be at the top in Pingzhou, but I can only be at the bottom here.How can I, being so proud, tolerate being treated with strange eyes by others, so it is true to say that I am very busy.In order to regain my arrogance, I studied hard and forced myself to read original English books. Not only did I get in touch with folk dances, but I also started learning ballet.All specialty courses are no longer treated with a general mentality.Now that I'm back, I have to stand at the center.The classmates in the yard naturally dare not neglect everyone in view of their family background. From classmates to friends quickly, as for whether to let go, it depends on the time.For a whole semester in the fifth grade, I tried my best and finally turned around at the end of the semester and walked to the center again.There are moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic activities here every month. In order to let everyone know me more quickly, I began to appear on the stage frequently, attracting everyone's attention with my ability.From being unknown when I first transferred, I started to receive birthday invitations from others one after another.I went from having no friends to talk to to being surrounded by friends with whom to talk.What we are talking about is not just learning, but more about the communication of quality of life.In the sixth grade, I won the position of literary and art clerk in the class in one fell swoop.Start being the calling card of your class.I want to share these achievements with Lin Duoduo, but every time I write, I stop.I'm afraid that if I tell you, she may not understand.Because her life is so different from mine after all.I don't want to hurt her innocent heart.So in the letter, I can only write some trivial things that marginalize my life, and I will forget it when I finish writing it.

The author has something to say:

The disparity in the living atmosphere began to alienate the two of them. . .
