Some people in the hall even sang after drinking too much, and they could only be helped back to the room to rest after drinking.

After the game ended, Su Miao also drank a lot, her face was so hot that she wished all her pores would open to dissipate heat.Su Yao has been persuaded to drink, but now she can still stand upright, and even roll up her sleeves to help clear the table and wash the dishes.

Su Miao collapsed on the sofa, looking at Su Yao's busy and well-behaved look a little confused, thinking that his brother is such a good person, it would be a pity if Lu Chen didn't want to.

He also thought that his second uncle and his elder brother, no matter whether they were in love with each other or not, would not end well in the end.

Will he and Jolin do this?

It was only when he thought of Qiao Lin that he came to his senses. After being discovered by his second uncle, he was so frightened that he threw his phone into his pocket. He didn't know how Qiao Lin was doing now.

However, when Su Miao took out the mobile phone, the body was terribly hot, but no matter how hard he pressed it, the screen would not turn on. It must have been turned off due to a dead battery.He hurried back to the room to plug in the charger, fidgeting and waiting for the phone to turn on.

The signal in the computer room was still as poor as ever, and Su Miao didn't dare to climb up to the roof, so she could only stand on tiptoe and hold it high.

After all the information was loaded, Su Miao realized that Qiao Lin hadn't sent him a message.

Confused, Su Miao took the initiative to send it: "The phone was turned off just now when it ran out of battery."

After a while, Qiao Lin replied: "I know, the phone was turned off only 10 minutes ago."

Su Miao was even more puzzled: "How do you know?"

"You didn't hang up the phone."

"..." Su Miao was startled at first, no wonder the phone has been so hot!

He suddenly reacted with hindsight: "Shouldn't you be listening all the time?!"

Su Miao counted the time, and it took at least two hours from when he rolled his shit off the roof to when the phone was turned off 10 minutes ago.

"Yes."

"I...fuck." Su Miao didn't know how to describe her shock.

"Did you drink a lot?" Jolin asked.

"I'm okay, but this wine is a bit strong."

"Then don't look at your phone, charge it, wash your face and go to bed."

"Shouldn't you watch the New Year's Eve?" Su Miao actually had a plan, and it was less than an hour before twelve o'clock.

However, Qiao Lin didn't seem to have the sense of ritual of the first year at all, and replied straightforwardly: "It's all about children, you just join in the fun."

"...Oh." Su Miao put down the phone angrily, and immediately lost the signal.

Su Miao thought about it, and still sent it: "You don't want to ask about my second uncle?"

"I've heard it all. What can I ask?" Qiao Lin urged him after finishing speaking, "Don't stay up late after you drink, you'll get dizzy."

Su Miao held up her mobile phone again resolutely and said, "There is no signal in my room. I won't be able to see what message you send later!"

Qiao Lin: "That's right, you can sleep well."

"......"I am going to sleep good night.

Su Miao put down the phone angrily again.He fell on the bed in a fit of anger, felt hot after lying down for a while, got up again and went to the yard to wash his face. The cool touch made him feel refreshed. Without a mobile phone on his body, he paid more attention to other places.

The front hall is lively and the backyard is quiet and peaceful.

The bright white moon is like a big free light bulb, pouring out the cool light with joy, and the wind blows the high clouds, racing with the moon to the east bit by bit.

As soon as Su Miao lowered her head, she saw the ladder set up just now, and climbed up again by some coincidence.The night wind was colder than what he felt in the yard just now. Su Miao sat on the eaves with a wide view in front of him, reminding him of the morning sun he saw on the hill in the south of the city.

Thousands of miles together, ah, a total of Chanjuan.Su Miao faced the big round moon and thought, maybe what he and Qiao Lin can see at the same time now is this big moon that has never changed since ancient times.

Su Miao stood blowing the wind for a long time, felt a little cold, but refused to go down, until Shen Luzhong sneezed several times before walking back to the room, picked up the phone to check the time, 57:[-].

Why are you so awkward? Really.

Su Miao was lying on the bedside with her mobile phone in her hand, since she couldn't send any news anyway, she just typed away boredly.

——It's so flirtatious with a man, he actually has to go to bed early on this kind of day.

—Look at the big and round moon, look at how silly and sweet Brother Qiao is.

——I really went to bed and I told you, I didn’t say whether the New Year was going to be happy or not.

Su Miao stared blankly at the non-stop gray buffer pattern in front of the dialog box, and watched the time jump from minute to minute. When it jumped to 1, those gray circles disappeared at the same time.

Where the fuck have I gone?Su Miao didn't react in a daze.

It wasn't until Qiao Lin's message was sent on time when 59 became 00 that he bounced off the bed with a "ho" and "fuck me".

This year he said "fuck me" more than last year.

Qiao Lin's messages flooded into the phone one after another.

"Happy New Year."

"I don't know if you slept or not, but I think you should."

"I want to say something nice, but I don't know what to say."

"Let's just say Happy New Year."

Su Miao watched so much that she didn't want to worry about why the signal suddenly got better, why she sent out her complaints, and why Qiao Lin surprised him like this.

He almost felt that his old age had someone to rely on, and Qiao Lin seemed to see through him, always guessing what he was thinking.

But the boy's death is about saving face. At this time, Su Miao played it to the fullest. Qiao Lin only saw Su Miao reply two sentences: "Oh, I'm drunk, I'm asleep."

Then added: "Happy New Year."

Qiao Lin leaned against the bed and looked at the phone with a low smile. He looked at a large paragraph in the memo edited in half an hour, and finally clicked delete.

He listened to his second uncle's questioning, and knew that experienced people naturally look down on young people's love, but this is understandable.Qiao Lin is not one of those people who will show love with romance, it's very false, he just meant that bit of straightforwardness to Su Miao, needless to say, Su Miao knows everything about it.

And how to face it in the future is also their own choice. He will never run away from what should be faced, and he will not exaggerate the panic that should not be created.

Su Miao, who knows everything here, had beautiful dreams at night, and woke up happily the next day.I didn't have any awkward emotions from the night before, and now I just regret that I didn't ask earlier last night: "Am I the first to say Happy New Year?"

After waiting for a long time, Qiao Lin finally returned: "The CCTV Spring Festival Gala is the first one."

"Get out." Su Miao replied cheerfully.

----------

In the past years, Su Miao would follow her parents to visit the house in a well-behaved manner during the Chinese New Year here, but this year she is a maverick and wanders outside all day.

I don't know if too many fireworks in the countryside have lowered the air quality, and the sky hasn't cleared up in the past few days during the New Year's Eve.Su Miao pulled the rusty iron chain, and the iron door creaked strangely several times, breaking out in a cold sweat.

The old campus occupies a small area, about two acres of land. A few years ago, there were children playing here, but now there are only two dilapidated buildings in front of you. Grass overflows over regular stone ridges and pushes out of the circle from the ground.

Su Miao got a hand full of rust, but she couldn't tear off the iron chain, so she just climbed on the fence and turned inside.

He didn't know why he suddenly wanted to come to this dilapidated building during Chinese New Year, so he studied here for less than two years. To be honest, his feelings were not as good as the vegetable field at grandma's house.

As soon as he pushed open the door of a classroom on the first floor, a gust of draft swept the dust on the tables and chairs into the sky.Su Miao coughed violently and slapped her palms in front of her face several times before she dared to breathe.

He approached the podium to look at the blackboard. The words on it were blurred, but he could vaguely make out the square characters in block letters.This classroom has always been attended by students in the first and second grades of elementary school. This should be left over from the last class at that time. Su Miao can even imagine the teacher teaching Chinese characters to the children. There is even a student on duty in the lower right corner of the blackboard. seat number.

Su Miao turned her head to look out of the window. The branches were messy, growing against the glass windows, and some directly protruded into the classroom from the opening in the window.In a daze, Su Miao remembered a text she taught in elementary school about planting mahogany trees. The tree planters did not water the trees regularly, so some saplings kept dying, but many saplings grew tall and straight.

At that time, the teacher asked the text to be recited in full, but Su Miao only remembers one sentence in it: not only trees, but also people. People who live in uncertainty can withstand the test of life and develop a heart. An independent heart.

Just at this time, the clouds outside the window suddenly let out the sky, and a ray of sunlight penetrated through the layers of gray clouds and dark green leaves, and was cut out by the old branches, and the wind swayed on the ground .

Su Miao accidentally took out half of old chalk from the podium, and wrote the word "Lin" on the blackboard after a while.

Originally, he just wanted to come out and take pictures of his old school for Qiao Lin to see, but he never thought of going there since he entered the classroom, and it was only now that he remembered his purpose.Su Miao stared at the words she wrote on the blackboard, and suddenly shook her head.

I was really stunned.

He threw the chalk back to the podium, but he couldn't find the blackboard eraser.After digging out all the pockets all over her body without taking out a tissue, Su Miao simply clapped her hands, left the word on the blackboard, got up and left by herself.He ran to other floors to hang around, basically the same, there was nothing interesting.

Su Miao wandered to the school gate and took a picture of the teaching building. Just after pressing the shutter, there was the sound of a hard object knocking.He turned around, only to find that it was the old man who was the gatekeeper, who had just dropped the pot on the ground without holding onto it.

"Hey, grandpa, why are you here?" Su Miao called out from a distance, but the old man at the door of the duty room did not respond.

Su Miao walked over curiously, and was a little nervous for a while. How could this be an abandoned school, and she didn't see anyone in the duty room when she first came in. Now an old man popped up suddenly, and everyone would think wildly.

When he stood in front of the old man, the other party slowly raised his head to look at him.One eye of the old man was extremely dirty, as if he had no focus, and his body was much more bent than before. Fortunately, he could walk and talk, but his ears were not good.

"Grandpa——" Su Miao helped him pick up the pot on the ground, and spoke loudly so that he could hear: "Aren't you going home for Chinese New Year——"

The old man stared at his face, the corners of his mouth drooping, and his white eyebrows twitched together, as if he was thinking. After a while, he raised his finger and pointed out the door, and said inarticulately: "Go home at night, where are you going?" ,there."

Su Miao looked along and saw that it was a self-built house, and grandma's house was also nearby, so he asked loudly, "Then what are you doing here—"

The old man's ears seemed to be sensitive now, and he stretched out his finger to the iron door that had been locked and said, "Come on duty, check, school." Su Miao glanced at the opened lock, very puzzled that he couldn't even hold the pot firmly How did the old man open the lock.

Then he helped his grandfather to the duty room, and as soon as he opened the door, he found that in this dilapidated school, only the duty room was clean.The bedding is neat, the fan hanging above the head is sealed with a plastic bag to prevent dust, the cracked porcelain cup is placed on the upper right corner of the table, and the faded kettle still contains hot water. In the past, children often came in through the window to drink water.There are even pots, bowls, chopsticks and spoons on the bedside table, which is exactly what he looked like when he was studying.

Su Miao felt that she might have seen a ghost for a moment, and her whole body became tense. The weak sunlight outside the door just now had no temperature at all. When the cold wind blew up and swept the fallen leaves, it became very noisy in the quiet campus.

Su Miao's cold sweat was running down her back, and she didn't dare to look down at the person she was supporting, for fear that the other person would look up with a hideous and terrifying face.

Just when he was about to tremble all over, a long "Dad" suddenly came from outside the school, and he shouted continuously, from far to near, and it could already be used as a horn when he reached the school gate.

Su Miao looked out through the window and found that it was Aunt Li, the daughter-in-law of the gatekeeper grandpa. She was walking in through the guardrail with her belly outstretched. When she saw the door open from a distance, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I said, Dad, you must be there again." He came here." Aunt Li was still muttering when she entered the door, but when she saw Su Miao, she was startled: "Oh, whose young man came here?"

There were only three people in this room, and they were frightened.

After Su Miao revealed her identity, she had to give Aunt Li a few words of comfort, after all, she still had a baby in her belly.After cleaning up, Aunt Li helped her father-in-law to go home, and Su Miao followed behind to help close and lock the door.

"Auntie, isn't the school closed?" Su Miao asked.

"Yes, it has been closed a long time ago." Aunt Li looked back at the school and said, "But my dad has been in this school for half his life, and now unless he can't move his legs, he will still go here."

Su Miao quietly listened to Aunt Li saying that grandpa had already reached the retirement age, but the school was deserted just a year before his retirement, and the students moved to the new campus, but the old man who was about to retire could not move there.Grandpa still lived in the duty room, cleaned the school road when the leaves fell, and took a nap on the wicker chair when the weather was hot.After several years like this, the old man's body was not strong after all, and the family members stayed at home to take care of him.

Unexpectedly, one day, this demented old man actually ran to the school by himself, boiled water and mopped the floor in the duty room, and finally sat on the wicker chair to bask in the sun, and fell asleep in a daze. The genius found it, saw the old man lying down, his heart skipped a beat, he was frightened, and quickly helped him back home.But after grandpa was taken home, he always ran to school on his own. There was no way at home, so he simply cleaned the inside and outside of the duty room, followed the old man, and only took care of him at ordinary times.

"Why does grandpa always come to school?" Su Miao asked again.

Aunt Li smiled and shook her head, and replied: "You may not feel it at your age, but like the old man, he has feelings for the school and the students. If he doesn't do this job, he will not be practical. Maybe the old man really likes to do it." I care more about this job than my wife." Aunt Li laughed and said, "My mom teased him once, so I might as well go to school, but guess what, he really stayed at school and wouldn't go back."

Su Miao frowned. He really didn't expect his grandfather to have such deep affection for this place, but it was too deep.There is nothing wrong with loving work and loving anything, but how can anyone in this world be so lingering?For the demented grandfather, this is no longer a habit, but more like a belief.

Aunt Li heard him muttering to herself in doubt, and after listening to it, she knew the general idea, so she smiled: "You young people like to think about these twists and turns. According to my aunt, the old man likes to guard this school. It's the same reason for falling in love with another girl, it's just liking, how can there be any reason?"

"I also heard from my son that people in big cities talk about other people's affairs very fiercely, even when they say that they can't hold their heads up. But why bother? It’s just that I can’t get used to it, but there are so many things I can’t get used to, so I don’t know how to think about it.”

There are many kinds of love, but there is no right or wrong.The liking between lovers is love, the affection between family members is love, and the attachment to one thing is also love. Who can say which is wrong?As long as such love does not take the initiative to violate irrelevant people, it also has the right to be proved and protected.

Similarly, grandpa likes to guard the school, that's right, he just spent most of his life practicing it, and that's the meaning of it.

Su Miao followed behind, step by step, as if he had solved a mystery that had always troubled him.
