It slowly bounced back again.
In fact, Qu Li didn't understand, Xiang An was just lazy.
Anger will always go away, and you have to apologize after quarreling, how troublesome is it?
Take a step back, the sea and the sky are wide open, anyway, I haven't touched the bottom line, I really don't bother to care about others.
But when it comes to the bottom line, no one has ever touched it.Every time he felt that he couldn't bear it and was about to explode, he would find an excuse for himself, wipe the bottom line, and then drop another degree.
Xiang An didn't know where his bottom line was.
☆、2006 Hening
When he was about to leave the main gate, Xiang An ran into Gu Xiaoran again. Behind her was a tall and thin boy in a black coat. She really wasn't alone.
For young couples, it's normal to go around and worship a Buddha to seek a marriage.I just don't know if they have tried the lottery?
At that time, it happened that Qu Li was very angry because he signed the motto, and he insisted on buying an ice cream, but was defeated. He wanted to ask An Ben: Where can I get ice cream at the gate of the temple in winter?Do you think Bodhisattvas are as smart as you?
Turning back and being silent for a while, he felt that he really didn't understand the folk customs of Hening. Maybe the aunt who set up a stall at the door had such an uninhibited brain circuit?
After Qu Li galloped away, Gu Xiaoran appeared.She walked past the intersection with her hands in her coat pockets, looking haughty and indifferent.
When Xiang An saw her, she felt strange. She was usually amiable, and she would keep a polite smirk no matter how unhappy she was. Why did she look like the whole world owed her money today?
I couldn't help but took a second look, and saw the tall and thin boy behind her rushing up to grab her hand, but when he failed, he pulled her back angrily.
So war is imminent.
To be precise, it was the boy who got angry unilaterally, and Gu Xiaoran was as cold as the white mist in winter from the beginning to the end, and her face was wet and cold.
It's chilly, just like the look in his eyes every time.
Originally, outsiders shouldn't intervene in the young couple's quarrel, and Xiang An was planning to hold his glasses up and watch from a distance, but the boy pushed Gu Xiaoran away.
She was already thin and wore high heels, so she staggered a few steps when pushed.Xiang An suddenly remembered what Xiao Liu said in the dormitory before, and became furious for no reason, his brain twitched, and before the boy's raised hand fell on Gu Xiaoran's face, he stood in front of her and grabbed it.
Gu Xiaoran's eyes flickered for a moment, but her face was still as cold as cold water, she didn't feel the joy of having more helpers, and she didn't feel the boredom of his meddling.
Xiang An felt a little frustrated.It was the same with his first encounter with Gu Xiaoran.
They were just freshmen that time, and Xiang An went to the library of the Chinese Department to look for books, and found a dark green wallet at the corner of the bookshelf in the inner district. It contained only a few hundred yuan and two bank cards, not to mention ID cards. There is no card either, he spent all his time going around to find the owner Gu Xiaoran, when he gave her the wallet, she also stared at him for a while, then looked away.
Maybe Gu Xiaoran thought he was stupid?
There is no monitoring, no witnesses, no wallet with no name and no contact information, why bother to return it to her?Heh, maybe the money is nothing to her, maybe she has already re-applied the bank card, maybe she has forgotten about losing her wallet.
In short, is he wishful thinking that he has done a good deed?
The boy in front of him pushed An away, and said with disdain: "Who the hell are you? If you have anything to do, you just intervene?"
Compared with Xiang An, he can really be regarded as infinitely powerful.
"She's my classmate!" Xiang An admired himself a little. He couldn't stand firmly even with this push. In such an embarrassing situation, he didn't shamelessly make excuses, "I'm sorry to admit the wrong person" and quickly retreated.
He was originally a leather eggshell wrapped in cotton, and his voice could be pretended to be tough. God knows how much psychological construction is needed for this kind of forceful act of righteousness?It can be seen that sometimes shamelessness is not something everyone has.
The boy got angry: "Damn! Gu Xiaoran, you are awesome, any cat or dog in this place can be fascinated by you," he clenched his fist and waved it towards An's face, "You're fucking insane, right? Protect this bitch!"
Xiang An is weak and doesn't know how to fight. Seeing Dong Da's fist hit his face, he instinctively turned his head to avoid it.
But of course, Riot won't actually deliver.
Qu Li, who had arrived, yelled "Hey" a few steps away!Like the wind, he flashed to the front and intercepted the opponent's evil claws in an instant!
Menacing, unstoppable!
Xiang An looked at him like a divine general sent by heaven suddenly, with a holy light shining all over his body, and he came with his own accompaniment hallelujah.
The general moved his wrist and said calmly:
"Master □□! Who the hell are you fighting with!"
Xiang An once heard people say that the friendship between girls is to go to the bathroom hand in hand, while the friendship between boys is to fight shoulder to shoulder.
It's a pity that he has a gentle temper and never provokes disputes. This time he finally had the opportunity to rely on Qu Li to show off his strength, and he was actually a little excited in his heart.
It's a pity that the other party reviewed the situation and decided that he couldn't take advantage of it, so he could only say a word bitterly: "Let's wait and see, Gu Xiaoran, you think you'll be better off!" Then he cursed and left.
And Gu Xiaoran finally said coldly behind her: "Heh, do you think I'm relying on you to get to where I am today?"
The boy didn't stop, looking at his back, Xiang An shook his head and thought, how could he be so irritable despite being a gentle young man on the outside?No wonder Gu Xiaoran wants to break up with him, if it happens, what will happen to the domestic violence in the future?
It's also a fool's mind.
Seeing that nothing happened, Qu Li said something to Xiang An with a dark face, saying that he was restless and was waiting to learn how to be a hero to save the beauty and what to do. After talking, he took out two ice creams from his arms and handed one to him: " Here."
Xiang An took it in surprise: "It's actually for sale?"
The folk customs of Hening are really not something he and other mortals can understand!
Qu Li tore off the wrapping paper and stuffed it to Xiang An naturally, his face was sombre, not happy, it seemed that he really needed to lose his temper.
Xiang An looked at him biting the ice cream angrily, and wanted to change the subject with a laugh, but Gu Xiaoran suddenly said, "So it's you?"
There was a pleasant smile in his eyebrows and eyes, and Xiang An actually felt sultry in the spring breeze in the winter sun.
It's a pity that the spring breeze in March didn't tease an idler like him.
Because the phrase "Hey, did you recognize me?" stuck in his throat, before he could say it, he already realized that Gu Xiaoran's burning gaze was on Qu Li's face.
Qu Li, who was eating ice with a sullen face, paused his mouth for a while, turned his head to look at her puzzled, and remembered after a while: "Ha, it's you?"
A drama about the acquaintance of front and back that is common in dramas.
Three weeks ago, Qu Li came to Hening and took the same train as Gu Xiaoran, who happened to be on the opposite seat, and today Qu Li was lucky enough to help her, that's the reason why they met thousands of miles away.
Holding the ice cream, Xiang An pushed his glasses. He thought that fate, a hero saving the beauty, still depends on his appearance. If Qu Li was not so handsome, Gu Xiaoran would definitely forget about him when he got off the car. It doesn't matter if he came out to help today. ?
Well, like to him.
Probably just to verify his thoughts, the following days were like a reappearance in the third year of high school. In order to get closer to Quli, Gu Xiaoran also intentionally or unintentionally rapprocheed with Xiang An. She was no longer as cold and blunt as before. Very short, but always a laugh.
Every time Gu Xiaoran rushed towards An Xiao, he would think of the scene of Qu Li Da Dong putting an ice cream on his lips, and her sultry smile in March, and his heart would twitch.
Maybe it's because of jealousy that Qu Li gave birth to a good face?
During this period, Xiang An went to Qu Li's house again, but the attitude of the co-tenant guy did not improve, but dropped again and again, and he simply didn't even say hello to him.Xiang An still couldn't figure out what he did wrong, until the end of December, Quli Dabao appeared downstairs in their dormitory.
Xiang An asked, "What's wrong?"
Qu Li replied: "Don't mention it, I had an argument with the co-tenant, so I came to join you."
Xiang Anmo didn't speak for a few seconds, then picked up his luggage and went back to the dormitory.
Qu Li squeezed on his bed for two nights. The bed was small enough for two big guys to fall asleep, but Qu Li's sleeping position was extremely uninhibited, either with his arms on his chest or his calves on his thighs. It wasn't that he was in a deep sleep, he must not be able to suppress the urge to drag Qu Li up and whip his corpse!
After cramming like this for two nights, Xiang An found a vacant room in the upper school building at the north gate of the school, and drove the reluctant Qu Li out.
He asked Qu Li why he was renting a house at the Polytechnic?The sky is far away, and I have to get up early for the class.Qu Li smiled and said: "I can't take care of myself, what if I die in the business school? At least you will collect my body here."
Xiang An gave him a white look, and went straight to class, wearing the scarf that Qu Li bought for him, a large gray plaid.Qu Li said that she looked gentle and good-looking.
He folded the one that Zhao Yueyan gave him and put it in the closet.
Originally he liked that one very much, black and white, wide, big and very warm, but Dongyue’s 22nd birthday, after drinking two glasses of beer, he had to take him to a specialty store to buy a scarf, saying that birthday is to celebrate with everyone. .
Xiang An rolled his eyes and watched him pick and choose for a long time to pull out one, and said proudly: "How about it, is it better than Zhao Yueyan's? I said that Zhao Yueyan's aesthetics are really bad, and it would be nice to put a black scarf on it." Yinduo big white flower, why don't you be so coquettish..."
Xiang An circled around the gray grid and thought, forget it, although the big white flowers are still beautiful, but after all, Qu Li has not yet come out of the shadow of emotional failure, so don't let him be hurt by seeing things anymore.
[Irrelevant Theater III: (Hening City, Red Light District)]
Qu Li (surprised): Wow, look at that aunt wearing velvet...
(Come over mysteriously): Can you guess which idiom I thought of?
Xiang An (even more surprised): Ah, can you still think of idioms?
Qu Li (serious): Collect armpits into fur!
Xiang An: ...
☆、2006 Hening
Qu Li walked around with Xiang An even more frequently after he came to the Polytechnic. Except for school activities, he always accompanied Xiang Anzhai's house or went to the library during holidays. It was neatly tidied up, and it looked like a home.
He rented a two-bedroom apartment, and he didn't find a roommate. The house was fully furnished. Xiang An sometimes came to cook, and when he was full, he would just rest in the guest room. It's like home for both of them.
After all, he is in the science and engineering department, so the chances of meeting Gu Xiaoran are greatly increased.
At first, contrary to her pleasant spring breeze, Qu Li just greeted her politely, not very enthusiastic.Later, there were more and more opportunities to meet accidentally, eating in restaurants, reading novels in the library, and even meeting each other on the playground. The more we talked, the more we became acquainted.
Until the day when the final exam was about to take place, Xiang An leaned over the desk in the library to brush up the questions, and Qu Li crossed his legs across from him to flip through the picture album. anyone there?"
Xiang An looked up and saw Qu Li pulling the seat for Gu Xiaoran, and smiled: "Oh, no one."
Since then, the shell of the egg has been broken, and the creamy egg white and thick egg yolk flowed out, dripping down the pan and frying sizzling.
It's not a good metaphor, but that's what he had in his head at the time, like a fried egg.
Once in a dream, Xiang An asked Qu Li if he liked Gu Xiaoran, and he remembered that in the dream he pushed his glasses and said it was okay.Then Qu Li said, ah, I quite like her.
He thought, maybe Qu Li could be with Gu Xiaoran?One is handsome, the other is beautiful. Apart from some flaws in self-care, Qu Li is actually quite capable in all aspects. They are a good match when they go together.
With a new relationship, Qu Li doesn't want to think about Zhao Yueyan anymore, so can he wear that printed scarf inside out?Well, they're not bad together.
I just don't know if Gu Xiaoran will move in to live with Qu Li?He saw a lot of couples renting houses off campus together, maybe it was to enhance their relationship?But there are also quite a few people who live together but are separated, which is not clear.
If Gu Xiaoran is willing to live with Qu Li, wouldn't it be good for him to go there often?Do you want to bring clothes and books back to the dormitory now?
This kind of entanglement came and went, the days passed quickly, and before the entanglement was over, the final exam was over.
Qu Li packed up the dead body lying at home early, waiting to fetch things from An.Xiang An hadn't communicated with Qu Li about his ideas, so he naturally didn't know what he was thinking about, so he didn't pack up other things for the time being. He just folded the clothes that he was going to take home and packed them into a suitcase.
Qu Li put down his phone, lay down on the bed and asked him, "Hey, what are your plans for winter vacation?"
Without raising his head, Xiang An wiped the stain on the corner of the box with a rag, and replied, "What are your plans? My sister will take the college entrance examination next year, and I will give her chemistry supplements. During the Chinese New Year, there will be a lot of people, so I will go to the town to help my aunt's house." Sky grocery store, that's all."
"That's it?" Qu Li sat up, pulled up his shoes and went to the living room, leaning on the sofa with a playful smile and said, "That's so boring, why don't you go to my house for a few days? Mama Zhang's stewed pig's trotters are delicious, and Fresh pepper fish, and beer duck," kept winking, "How about it?"
Xiang An put away the rag and dusted it: "Forget it, my dad won't be back until the Chinese New Year. My grandparents are the only ones at home. The two old people are very old. I'll go back and accompany them."
Qu Li thought for a while: "Why don't I go home with you? We won't be bored if we're bored together."
Looking back, Xiang An saw that both his eyes were shining, and every cell in his face clamored for his enthusiasm to go home with him, and he refused mercilessly: "No. Our house doesn't have enough beds for you to sleep in."
"Life is boring!" Qu Li wailed and fell back on the sofa.
After a long time, I got up again and poked my head from the edge of the sofa, and said pitifully, "Xiang An, I didn't buy a ticket back to Jincheng. I saw the nearest bullet train yesterday and there was a seat the day after tomorrow. Why don't you stay with me for two days?" My God? It’s only two days! Anyway, it’s easy to buy a ticket from Hening to Fu’an, so you don’t have to worry. If you don’t stay and cook, I will starve to death!”
Seeing that he said these words in one breath, Xiang An admired him very clearly and fluently, and felt that if he refused again, it might hurt his feelings that are not so fragile but very good at acting.I had no choice but to put the suitcase in the corner silently.
Two days later, he sent Quli to the Chengbei Railway Station, and Xiang An went back to Fu'an from the Chengnan Bus Station by himself.Before entering the station, Qu Li bought him hot milk from the store, patted him on the shoulder and said see you next year, and remember to bring sausages.
Many years later, Xiang An thought that it would be nice if the days ended on this day.
There was fog in the sky, and he was wearing a gray checked scarf and standing on the criss-crossing streets of Hening, the air was chilly, and he cupped his hands that were red from the cold from pulling the suitcases and took a breath of heat.
It would be nice if the day ended on this day.Let the world keep the way it is, and everything is not so irreparable.

☆、2007 Jincheng
There are so many kinds of emotions in the world, paid, selfless, small and great, love and affection, what does that mean?Xiang An once spent half of his waking life thinking about it, but couldn't find the answer.
Life is not like a math problem. After writing down the solution, the final value is obtained step by step.
Besides, he is not even good at math problems.
On the eve of the Chinese New Year, the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Grandpa called him into the back room.The light was bright, and he sat down on the edge of the bed, seeing his grandpa's eyes clearly as hale and hearty as usual. At that time, he smiled, thinking that it was just an ordinary grandparents' heart-to-heart talk, talking about interesting things in school, talking about homework, talking about others talking about himself .
Later, he repeatedly recalled the scene where his grandfather leaned against the head of the bed and touched his hand.Grandpa said: "Eat more food, why are you so thin?" He retorted: "I'm still called thin, so don't everyone else become bamboo poles?"
"Xiang An," grandpa smiled, and squeezed his hand tightly, "When you were young, I hoped that you would strive to be successful, that you would study hard, work hard, achieve success, and become respected and useful people. But later, What happened to your father, he has been decadent for so many years, and almost never..."
Sighed, then smiled, "At that time, I thought, as long as you are safe and sound, and He Lele is alive, it's a rare thing in a lifetime. If you fight for those things with all your might, you can't take anything with you when you die. "
"The family doesn't expect you to return anything in return, and don't hold back yourself. Life is your own. If you live it, have a clear conscience, be happy, and have no regrets, that's enough."
"Xiang An, don't embarrass yourself."
When grandpa said this, Xiang An lowered his head and didn't answer anything, only the warmth in his heart was alive like a hot spring.
The next day, Xiang An got up early to cook, and saw her grandma sitting quietly by the window, she approached and asked, she came back to her senses after a while, and said with gloomy eyes: "Xiang An, now the two of us are the only ones left in this house. gone."
That moment.
how to say?
It seems as long as endless, but also like lightning.
All the fragments flashed like a marquee, and the world exploded like a thunderbolt, like a volcano erupting, and like stagnant water without waves.
He suddenly woke up. It was the last instruction of his grandfather, the last concern of an elder when he was dying!
But...how could it be?how could be!
When he rushed into the inner room and saw the person lying neatly in the mortuary clothes, he seemed like a puppet lost its string, and suddenly collapsed in front of the bed.
The thing he regretted most when he lived to be 20 years old was that he didn't nod and answer "yes" when his grandfather said those words.
Just a "good".Didn't let him know.
On the afternoon of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, his father, Xiang Zijun, rushed back to Fu'an from the provincial capital. At that time, his grandfather had already been buried, and the dark coffin was lying in the middle of the hall.
The New Year's Eve funeral was held for three days, and Taoist priests built a shed in the courtyard to beat and beat. At night, the lights were yellow and bright. My sister cried several times while guarding the coffin. Xiang Zijun hid in the room and drank wine for three days. Xiang An remained silent the whole time, saying nothing.My aunt closed the shops in the town, and the family came back to watch the spirit, and helped grandma usher and send to entertain guests.
Xiang An thought, I am really useless, grandma is the saddest person, but she can still force herself to be calm, why can't he do it?
Thirty nights, Xiang An pushed open the door of Xiang Zijun's room, Xiang Zijun raised his red eyes, messy hair and stubble in the middle of a pile of messy bottles that smelled of alcohol, and looked like neither human nor ghost. It's like going back to junior high school again.
Xiang An walked over in silence, bent down to tidy up the overturned wine bottles, and Xiang Zijun called him hoarsely: "Son."
His body trembled, and tears rolled out.
When the new year comes, you can even hear the exciting countdown to the New Year’s Eve Gala on other people’s TV outside the house. When people around are happily saying Happy New Year to each other, Xiang Zijun wipes his face and goes out the door.After a while, Xiang An heard the sound of firecrackers from his courtyard in his room.
No matter what, life still has to go on.
Fortunately, no one will be decadent for another three years this time.
Grandma was picked up by her aunt to go to town as soon as the first seven passed, and Xiang Zijun also returned to the provincial capital the next day. The third year of high school was tight, and on the seventh day of the first lunar month, Xiang Wen went back to school to make up lessons, and Xiang An was left alone at home.
He packed up his things and was about to go back to school when he suddenly received a call from Qu Li.
The sun was shining on the other end of the phone, the sun was warm and the sky was clear, and there was a clear and clear voice: "How are you, do you miss me?"
Lost for a moment.
Xiang An received Qu Li at the town station, saw him waving with a playful smile from a distance, and was hugged by him when he approached.Xiang An pushed him away and pulled out a forced ugly smile: "What are you doing?"
Qu Li took off her scarf and wrapped it around his neck, said with a smile: "It's nothing, I haven't seen you for a few days, I just want to hug you."
Qu Li studied in Fu'an City in high school, but their family settled in Jincheng very early on. His grandpa's property was left behind, and his father, Qu Huayang, opened a company in Jincheng. I started to play, but I didn't expect to become famous in the game, and even a little famous. His mother Ye Xian is the editor-in-chief of a magazine, and she is too busy to take care of her family.
So after graduating from high school, he never went back to Fu'an. This time he rushed back all the way to meet Xiang'an.
Qu Li's house is located in the middle of a row of duplex villas in the southern district of Jincheng, with wide gardens, fountains and green shade, full of Western elegance.Standing at the door, Xiang An paused for a moment, and saw a maid in her forties came to answer the door, took the things and called "Master".
Xiang An was stunned again, he didn't know that Qu Li's family still had the name Mary Su?
When I was in school, I always heard Qu Li mention his mother, and she praised her like a sister when she was young, she was also a literary worker, and she was full of books, so she would definitely be able to hit him off very well, although Xiang An knew that there was inevitably a princely boast in his words I still can't help being curious.
The first time I saw Ye Xian with my own eyes was at night, just like a dream come true.
Qu Li's home has a huge study room with several bookshelves and large floor-to-ceiling windows. Xiang An has no special hobbies. He usually likes to read two books. When he encounters a bookshelf, he can't move. He can't let go of a book when he opens it. .
At that time, he was leaning against the window to read a novel he hadn’t seen before, and Qu Li was lying on the sofa idly playing games, when he suddenly heard a gentle female voice rushing into his ears, saying, “You are just what Qu Li said. Your good buddy, right?"
Looking up, he saw a woman in her forties with fair skin and well-maintained skin. She was very temperamental. Coupled with Qu Li's previous exaggeration, Xiang An unconsciously felt a little cramped.
Qu Li sat up and introduced with a smile: "Xiang An, this is my mother."
Saying hello to Auntie Xiang An, Ye Xian walked up to him, glanced at the book in his hand, and said with a gentle smile, "Oh, did you read "Bianjing Flower Night"? This is quite good, the heroine is beautiful and lively, It's the type you guys like."
Xiang An was a little at a loss, he had never been good at communicating with people, especially now, he didn't know how to answer.Ye Xian seemed very interested in him: "I heard from Qu Li that you love reading?"
Xiang An wanted to nod, but couldn't be faster than Qu Li curled his lips: "I love to read it, but once it touches the book, it's like being dazed, and no one cares about it."
Seeing that Ye Xian was right in front of her, Xiang An couldn't roll her eyes, Qu Li scoffed, Ye Xian smiled and didn't say anything, before leaving the room, she thanked him and said that Qu Li was troubled by his care in He Ning, which made Xiang An feel uncomfortable. Ann is ashamed.
This feeling is so strange, Xiang An is inexplicably cautious like a little daughter-in-law meeting her parents.He was so stupid that he bent away from one muscle, and even patted him on the shoulder to let him relax, just like his own mother.
ha?Who is the mother?
Fortunately, Qu Li's parents are usually busy with work, so they hardly see each other, which saves a lot of time for greeting and greetings, so Xiang An can feel more at ease.
On weekdays, Quli will take Xiang’an to go shopping. Jincheng’s tourism industry is well-developed. Several quaint old streets are bustling with people. On Xiang An's shoulders, the two of them strung together for many days.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, and there is a lantern festival at the Langshan Confucian Temple in the west of the city, which is very lively every year.Originally, Qu Li asked him to pack up and wear something thicker to go out at night, but Xiang An thought they were going to watch the Lantern Festival, but ended up taking him up to the rooftop of a building in the west of the city.
On the roof, some colorful lights were randomly pulled, and there were cases of beer.
Surprised by Xiang Anzheng, Qu Li spread out a thick blanket, sat down and said, "My dad's company is just below here, stand tall and see far away, and today we will spend the Lantern Festival at the place closest to heaven, ha!"
Pointing to the west again, "That's the Confucian Temple, look at the gaudy lights there, it must be crowded now."
Looking over to An, he saw a dark mountain in the misty lights from a distance, and the lights at the foot of the mountain stretched out for several miles.Turning around and looking at this side, the urban area is brightly lit, and there are also street shops decorated with lights and festoons, which can be seen at a glance.
Qu Li took out the beer, handed him a bottle, bit his own cap and took a sip, bared his teeth and said, "Wow, it's so cold", and took another sip.
Xiang An walked over to sit next to him, and took a sip of wine, but didn't say anything.
Originally, according to Xiang An's personality, drinking is all about pointing to the point, let alone beer, it is impossible to be intoxicated.
But this time it was different, the festive lanterns were brightly lit, the wine was drunk and the wind was cold, and the person sitting next to him was not someone else, so Qu Li felt at ease.In this way, it was not beer that was poured into the mouth one mouthful at a time, which became the melancholy of the occasion.
When someone set up a Kongming lantern in the distance from the Confucian Temple, Xiang An became unconscious. He had never been drunk before, and he was not afraid of making a fool of himself. The tears are almost flowing into the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and I am not afraid of death, I just tore off the twisted scarf and wiped it carelessly.
Qu Li hadn't seen him talk so much, so he probably thought it was funny, and seemed surprisingly patient, he just hugged his back and comforted him softly: "It's okay, just cry. It's okay, I'm still here."
Xiang An's family was also in business when he was young. He grew up in the provincial capital, and his family with three generations under the same roof is enviable.Grandpa is an intellectual who loves to read and tell stories to them.There used to be a study room in their home, which was full of calligraphy and painting books collected by grandpa.
He used to be held in his mouth and held in his arms growing up.
Later, in the first year of junior high school, his father's business suddenly failed, and his family went bankrupt overnight, and his aunt was also in debt.The whole family was impoverished, and the grandfather dragged the family back to his hometown in Fu'an. His father couldn't stand the blow, and he was addicted to mahjong and alcohol to escape from reality. His mother couldn't stand it. Come a divorce settlement and a lot of money.
Xiang An said that it was the most painful period in his life, but he didn't blame his mother, after all, he looked at Xiang Zijun at that time and wished that he was gone.
His father was decadent for three years, from his first year of junior high school to his first year of high school for three full years.For three years, the grandfather was in charge of the whole family. An old man who always used a pen to write and wear glasses to look through ancient books carried a hoe and went to the back mountain to open up wasteland and farm every day, but he still did not forget to send him and his sister to continue to school.
The first major decision Xiang An made in his life was to accept the money sent by his mother.After paying off the debt, I used the leftovers to set up a small shop for my aunt in the town.
He said that he and his sister had grown up so much and owed a lot to many people.He said, Qu Li, do you know family affection?Family affection means that no matter how far you go, there is a place you can go back to, that is, no matter how much you owe, they don't expect you to pay it back.
Qu Li hugged him and nodded, yes, I know, I know.
Xiang An has always claimed to be sensible.In the first year of high school, I wanted to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, so I wouldn't be afraid to travel all over the world.Later, the scores in the college entrance examination were not enough, and I reluctantly went to Hening University of Technology and was assigned to the Department of Mathematics and Information Technology, and I was always happy.
When he went home, he always said that he would not report his worries. He thought that this would not make people worry or worry, but in fact, grandpa saw it all.
In the winter vacation when he was assigned to science, Xiang An came home from school. Grandpa sat in the main room without saying a word for a long time. In the afternoon, he found Xiang Zijun alone in the mahjong parlor in the town, and slapped him loudly in front of everyone.Xiang Zijun has been decadent for three years, this is the first time his grandfather lost his temper.Five finger prints were clearly visible on his face, and he watched helplessly as his grandpa strode out the door after beating him.
From that day on, the spirit of the family returned.Xiang Zijun went to the provincial capital with young people he knew in the town, found a job on a construction site, and started sending money home every month.
Speaking of this, Xiang An smiled: "Grandpa is a giant in my heart. As long as he is around, we will not be afraid of anything."
Qu Li wiped his snot off his face with his own scarf, and heard him shout out: "I don't like mathematics at all, and I don't like science at all!"
He grabbed Quli's scarf and looked up, his eyes and nose wrinkled into balls: "Quli, you are right, I am just stupid, no matter how hard I try, I can't learn well. I tried my best in high school but couldn't get high marks , I was only 73 in mathematics in the college entrance examination, why do you think I can't escape?"
Qu Li rubbed his hair, said softly: "How come, you are very smart, much smarter than me."
"I found a tutoring job in my freshman year, and only took one class. People didn't contact me after knowing my professional achievements." Xiang An took a sip of wine, struggled to get up from Qu Li's arms, self-deprecating and sad: "Quli, I don't think as well as you do. I have low self-esteem and cowardice, and I will never be useless! Quli, can you understand my feelings? You... oh wow!"
Spit a mouthful of filth at Anwawa.Qu Li didn't expect him to be so violent, so he hurriedly searched for water with paper towels.
When Xiang An calmed down, he leaned against the concrete platform and continued weakly: "At that time, it was also my grandfather who called, and he said, 'Xiang An, don't put too much pressure on yourself, our family is not short of money, you can be yourself Just do what you like'."
He squatted on the ground and hugged himself, buried his head in his arms and cried, "That's my grandpa, that's my grandpa!" Qu Li looked at him like a whimpering little beast, on the rooftop, in the cold In the wind, in the festive atmosphere of thousands of lights.
Stopped, went to hug him.
Xiang An, you still have me, you still have me.Qu Li gently kissed Xiang An's hair, and said softly, "It's okay, Xiang An, just cry."
The author has something to say: [×××× which has nothing to do with theater]
Xiaoyu (trembling fingers + extreme shock): You... Quli... You you you... You beast!You actually take advantage of people...
Xiang An (covering eyes + self-hypnosis): It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me...
Qu Li (disdainful + arrogant): What do you mean, isn't this what you want to see?
Xiaoyu: Huh?Yes! ... (after three seconds) ... Whoa, whoa, ditty!Well done! !
☆、2007 Jincheng
Xiang An didn't wake up until noon the next day, and when he opened his eyes in pain, he saw himself lying on a twisted bed, his whole body ached like bones falling apart.Qu Li was reading a book, saw him wake up and went out of the room for a while, and came back with a bowl of porridge in his hand.
Xiang An propped himself up and leaned against the head of the bed, and vaguely heard Qu Li say: "My fault, my fault, you have a bad stomach, and I took you to the rooftop to blow cold wind and drink cold wine, causing you to vomit in the middle of the night."
Help him up, prop up his back carefully with a pillow, and say, "Eat the porridge first, and take the medicine later."
Xiang An took the bowl, smelled it, looked haggard but moved and asked, "Did you boil it?"
Qu Li stopped pouring the water, struggled for a while, and answered honestly, "I... made Mama Zhang boil it."
Xiang An grinned his white mouth and smiled.
After resting for two days, full of blood, Xiang An turned out a stack of manuscripts for Qu Li to read, and his whole face was radiant: "There is a competition in school, I want to participate!"
Qu Li was stunned: "Okay."
Pushing the glasses to An: "Mathematics, I probably have no hope, I'd better listen to grandpa and do what you like..."
The competition that Xiang An wants to participate in is quite famous in Hening University of Technology. It is not considered a competition. It is more like an academic speech given to the whole school after a series of selections. It is not limited to fields or majors.
Qu Li lay on the bed and looked through his manuscript carefully, making suggestions from time to time, and nodded to An in a daze. A little foolish, couldn't help stretching out his devil's claws and rubbing his head hard.
For two days in a row, Xiang Anshu stayed on the sofa, carefully studying his plan for the competition.
After two days of being left out in the cold, Qu Li felt inextricably saddened when he thought that school was about to start and he couldn't go around with Xiang An to improve his relationship.
On the afternoon of the third day, Xiang An was dragged out of the room by coaxing and coaxing without any explanation, and forced to accompany him around.
Xiang An really wanted to refuse. He was actually not interested in the activities of the elderly like walking around and looking around. He just wanted to stay in the room without being surprised.
But Qu Lishen secretly coaxed and lied, "There will be surprises when you go out for a walk." He hesitated for a while, but he was already reluctant to be dragged out of the community.
The place they went to was nothing special, it was just a wetland park with few flowers blooming.
The two sat on the bench for a while, and Qu Li suddenly remembered something
In fact, Qu Li didn't understand, Xiang An was just lazy.
Anger will always go away, and you have to apologize after quarreling, how troublesome is it?
Take a step back, the sea and the sky are wide open, anyway, I haven't touched the bottom line, I really don't bother to care about others.
But when it comes to the bottom line, no one has ever touched it.Every time he felt that he couldn't bear it and was about to explode, he would find an excuse for himself, wipe the bottom line, and then drop another degree.
Xiang An didn't know where his bottom line was.
☆、2006 Hening
When he was about to leave the main gate, Xiang An ran into Gu Xiaoran again. Behind her was a tall and thin boy in a black coat. She really wasn't alone.
For young couples, it's normal to go around and worship a Buddha to seek a marriage.I just don't know if they have tried the lottery?
At that time, it happened that Qu Li was very angry because he signed the motto, and he insisted on buying an ice cream, but was defeated. He wanted to ask An Ben: Where can I get ice cream at the gate of the temple in winter?Do you think Bodhisattvas are as smart as you?
Turning back and being silent for a while, he felt that he really didn't understand the folk customs of Hening. Maybe the aunt who set up a stall at the door had such an uninhibited brain circuit?
After Qu Li galloped away, Gu Xiaoran appeared.She walked past the intersection with her hands in her coat pockets, looking haughty and indifferent.
When Xiang An saw her, she felt strange. She was usually amiable, and she would keep a polite smirk no matter how unhappy she was. Why did she look like the whole world owed her money today?
I couldn't help but took a second look, and saw the tall and thin boy behind her rushing up to grab her hand, but when he failed, he pulled her back angrily.
So war is imminent.
To be precise, it was the boy who got angry unilaterally, and Gu Xiaoran was as cold as the white mist in winter from the beginning to the end, and her face was wet and cold.
It's chilly, just like the look in his eyes every time.
Originally, outsiders shouldn't intervene in the young couple's quarrel, and Xiang An was planning to hold his glasses up and watch from a distance, but the boy pushed Gu Xiaoran away.
She was already thin and wore high heels, so she staggered a few steps when pushed.Xiang An suddenly remembered what Xiao Liu said in the dormitory before, and became furious for no reason, his brain twitched, and before the boy's raised hand fell on Gu Xiaoran's face, he stood in front of her and grabbed it.
Gu Xiaoran's eyes flickered for a moment, but her face was still as cold as cold water, she didn't feel the joy of having more helpers, and she didn't feel the boredom of his meddling.
Xiang An felt a little frustrated.It was the same with his first encounter with Gu Xiaoran.
They were just freshmen that time, and Xiang An went to the library of the Chinese Department to look for books, and found a dark green wallet at the corner of the bookshelf in the inner district. It contained only a few hundred yuan and two bank cards, not to mention ID cards. There is no card either, he spent all his time going around to find the owner Gu Xiaoran, when he gave her the wallet, she also stared at him for a while, then looked away.
Maybe Gu Xiaoran thought he was stupid?
There is no monitoring, no witnesses, no wallet with no name and no contact information, why bother to return it to her?Heh, maybe the money is nothing to her, maybe she has already re-applied the bank card, maybe she has forgotten about losing her wallet.
In short, is he wishful thinking that he has done a good deed?
The boy in front of him pushed An away, and said with disdain: "Who the hell are you? If you have anything to do, you just intervene?"
Compared with Xiang An, he can really be regarded as infinitely powerful.
"She's my classmate!" Xiang An admired himself a little. He couldn't stand firmly even with this push. In such an embarrassing situation, he didn't shamelessly make excuses, "I'm sorry to admit the wrong person" and quickly retreated.
He was originally a leather eggshell wrapped in cotton, and his voice could be pretended to be tough. God knows how much psychological construction is needed for this kind of forceful act of righteousness?It can be seen that sometimes shamelessness is not something everyone has.
The boy got angry: "Damn! Gu Xiaoran, you are awesome, any cat or dog in this place can be fascinated by you," he clenched his fist and waved it towards An's face, "You're fucking insane, right? Protect this bitch!"
Xiang An is weak and doesn't know how to fight. Seeing Dong Da's fist hit his face, he instinctively turned his head to avoid it.
But of course, Riot won't actually deliver.
Qu Li, who had arrived, yelled "Hey" a few steps away!Like the wind, he flashed to the front and intercepted the opponent's evil claws in an instant!
Menacing, unstoppable!
Xiang An looked at him like a divine general sent by heaven suddenly, with a holy light shining all over his body, and he came with his own accompaniment hallelujah.
The general moved his wrist and said calmly:
"Master □□! Who the hell are you fighting with!"
Xiang An once heard people say that the friendship between girls is to go to the bathroom hand in hand, while the friendship between boys is to fight shoulder to shoulder.
It's a pity that he has a gentle temper and never provokes disputes. This time he finally had the opportunity to rely on Qu Li to show off his strength, and he was actually a little excited in his heart.
It's a pity that the other party reviewed the situation and decided that he couldn't take advantage of it, so he could only say a word bitterly: "Let's wait and see, Gu Xiaoran, you think you'll be better off!" Then he cursed and left.
And Gu Xiaoran finally said coldly behind her: "Heh, do you think I'm relying on you to get to where I am today?"
The boy didn't stop, looking at his back, Xiang An shook his head and thought, how could he be so irritable despite being a gentle young man on the outside?No wonder Gu Xiaoran wants to break up with him, if it happens, what will happen to the domestic violence in the future?
It's also a fool's mind.
Seeing that nothing happened, Qu Li said something to Xiang An with a dark face, saying that he was restless and was waiting to learn how to be a hero to save the beauty and what to do. After talking, he took out two ice creams from his arms and handed one to him: " Here."
Xiang An took it in surprise: "It's actually for sale?"
The folk customs of Hening are really not something he and other mortals can understand!
Qu Li tore off the wrapping paper and stuffed it to Xiang An naturally, his face was sombre, not happy, it seemed that he really needed to lose his temper.
Xiang An looked at him biting the ice cream angrily, and wanted to change the subject with a laugh, but Gu Xiaoran suddenly said, "So it's you?"
There was a pleasant smile in his eyebrows and eyes, and Xiang An actually felt sultry in the spring breeze in the winter sun.
It's a pity that the spring breeze in March didn't tease an idler like him.
Because the phrase "Hey, did you recognize me?" stuck in his throat, before he could say it, he already realized that Gu Xiaoran's burning gaze was on Qu Li's face.
Qu Li, who was eating ice with a sullen face, paused his mouth for a while, turned his head to look at her puzzled, and remembered after a while: "Ha, it's you?"
A drama about the acquaintance of front and back that is common in dramas.
Three weeks ago, Qu Li came to Hening and took the same train as Gu Xiaoran, who happened to be on the opposite seat, and today Qu Li was lucky enough to help her, that's the reason why they met thousands of miles away.
Holding the ice cream, Xiang An pushed his glasses. He thought that fate, a hero saving the beauty, still depends on his appearance. If Qu Li was not so handsome, Gu Xiaoran would definitely forget about him when he got off the car. It doesn't matter if he came out to help today. ?
Well, like to him.
Probably just to verify his thoughts, the following days were like a reappearance in the third year of high school. In order to get closer to Quli, Gu Xiaoran also intentionally or unintentionally rapprocheed with Xiang An. She was no longer as cold and blunt as before. Very short, but always a laugh.
Every time Gu Xiaoran rushed towards An Xiao, he would think of the scene of Qu Li Da Dong putting an ice cream on his lips, and her sultry smile in March, and his heart would twitch.
Maybe it's because of jealousy that Qu Li gave birth to a good face?
During this period, Xiang An went to Qu Li's house again, but the attitude of the co-tenant guy did not improve, but dropped again and again, and he simply didn't even say hello to him.Xiang An still couldn't figure out what he did wrong, until the end of December, Quli Dabao appeared downstairs in their dormitory.
Xiang An asked, "What's wrong?"
Qu Li replied: "Don't mention it, I had an argument with the co-tenant, so I came to join you."
Xiang Anmo didn't speak for a few seconds, then picked up his luggage and went back to the dormitory.
Qu Li squeezed on his bed for two nights. The bed was small enough for two big guys to fall asleep, but Qu Li's sleeping position was extremely uninhibited, either with his arms on his chest or his calves on his thighs. It wasn't that he was in a deep sleep, he must not be able to suppress the urge to drag Qu Li up and whip his corpse!
After cramming like this for two nights, Xiang An found a vacant room in the upper school building at the north gate of the school, and drove the reluctant Qu Li out.
He asked Qu Li why he was renting a house at the Polytechnic?The sky is far away, and I have to get up early for the class.Qu Li smiled and said: "I can't take care of myself, what if I die in the business school? At least you will collect my body here."
Xiang An gave him a white look, and went straight to class, wearing the scarf that Qu Li bought for him, a large gray plaid.Qu Li said that she looked gentle and good-looking.
He folded the one that Zhao Yueyan gave him and put it in the closet.
Originally he liked that one very much, black and white, wide, big and very warm, but Dongyue’s 22nd birthday, after drinking two glasses of beer, he had to take him to a specialty store to buy a scarf, saying that birthday is to celebrate with everyone. .
Xiang An rolled his eyes and watched him pick and choose for a long time to pull out one, and said proudly: "How about it, is it better than Zhao Yueyan's? I said that Zhao Yueyan's aesthetics are really bad, and it would be nice to put a black scarf on it." Yinduo big white flower, why don't you be so coquettish..."
Xiang An circled around the gray grid and thought, forget it, although the big white flowers are still beautiful, but after all, Qu Li has not yet come out of the shadow of emotional failure, so don't let him be hurt by seeing things anymore.
[Irrelevant Theater III: (Hening City, Red Light District)]
Qu Li (surprised): Wow, look at that aunt wearing velvet...
(Come over mysteriously): Can you guess which idiom I thought of?
Xiang An (even more surprised): Ah, can you still think of idioms?
Qu Li (serious): Collect armpits into fur!
Xiang An: ...
☆、2006 Hening
Qu Li walked around with Xiang An even more frequently after he came to the Polytechnic. Except for school activities, he always accompanied Xiang Anzhai's house or went to the library during holidays. It was neatly tidied up, and it looked like a home.
He rented a two-bedroom apartment, and he didn't find a roommate. The house was fully furnished. Xiang An sometimes came to cook, and when he was full, he would just rest in the guest room. It's like home for both of them.
After all, he is in the science and engineering department, so the chances of meeting Gu Xiaoran are greatly increased.
At first, contrary to her pleasant spring breeze, Qu Li just greeted her politely, not very enthusiastic.Later, there were more and more opportunities to meet accidentally, eating in restaurants, reading novels in the library, and even meeting each other on the playground. The more we talked, the more we became acquainted.
Until the day when the final exam was about to take place, Xiang An leaned over the desk in the library to brush up the questions, and Qu Li crossed his legs across from him to flip through the picture album. anyone there?"
Xiang An looked up and saw Qu Li pulling the seat for Gu Xiaoran, and smiled: "Oh, no one."
Since then, the shell of the egg has been broken, and the creamy egg white and thick egg yolk flowed out, dripping down the pan and frying sizzling.
It's not a good metaphor, but that's what he had in his head at the time, like a fried egg.
Once in a dream, Xiang An asked Qu Li if he liked Gu Xiaoran, and he remembered that in the dream he pushed his glasses and said it was okay.Then Qu Li said, ah, I quite like her.
He thought, maybe Qu Li could be with Gu Xiaoran?One is handsome, the other is beautiful. Apart from some flaws in self-care, Qu Li is actually quite capable in all aspects. They are a good match when they go together.
With a new relationship, Qu Li doesn't want to think about Zhao Yueyan anymore, so can he wear that printed scarf inside out?Well, they're not bad together.
I just don't know if Gu Xiaoran will move in to live with Qu Li?He saw a lot of couples renting houses off campus together, maybe it was to enhance their relationship?But there are also quite a few people who live together but are separated, which is not clear.
If Gu Xiaoran is willing to live with Qu Li, wouldn't it be good for him to go there often?Do you want to bring clothes and books back to the dormitory now?
This kind of entanglement came and went, the days passed quickly, and before the entanglement was over, the final exam was over.
Qu Li packed up the dead body lying at home early, waiting to fetch things from An.Xiang An hadn't communicated with Qu Li about his ideas, so he naturally didn't know what he was thinking about, so he didn't pack up other things for the time being. He just folded the clothes that he was going to take home and packed them into a suitcase.
Qu Li put down his phone, lay down on the bed and asked him, "Hey, what are your plans for winter vacation?"
Without raising his head, Xiang An wiped the stain on the corner of the box with a rag, and replied, "What are your plans? My sister will take the college entrance examination next year, and I will give her chemistry supplements. During the Chinese New Year, there will be a lot of people, so I will go to the town to help my aunt's house." Sky grocery store, that's all."
"That's it?" Qu Li sat up, pulled up his shoes and went to the living room, leaning on the sofa with a playful smile and said, "That's so boring, why don't you go to my house for a few days? Mama Zhang's stewed pig's trotters are delicious, and Fresh pepper fish, and beer duck," kept winking, "How about it?"
Xiang An put away the rag and dusted it: "Forget it, my dad won't be back until the Chinese New Year. My grandparents are the only ones at home. The two old people are very old. I'll go back and accompany them."
Qu Li thought for a while: "Why don't I go home with you? We won't be bored if we're bored together."
Looking back, Xiang An saw that both his eyes were shining, and every cell in his face clamored for his enthusiasm to go home with him, and he refused mercilessly: "No. Our house doesn't have enough beds for you to sleep in."
"Life is boring!" Qu Li wailed and fell back on the sofa.
After a long time, I got up again and poked my head from the edge of the sofa, and said pitifully, "Xiang An, I didn't buy a ticket back to Jincheng. I saw the nearest bullet train yesterday and there was a seat the day after tomorrow. Why don't you stay with me for two days?" My God? It’s only two days! Anyway, it’s easy to buy a ticket from Hening to Fu’an, so you don’t have to worry. If you don’t stay and cook, I will starve to death!”
Seeing that he said these words in one breath, Xiang An admired him very clearly and fluently, and felt that if he refused again, it might hurt his feelings that are not so fragile but very good at acting.I had no choice but to put the suitcase in the corner silently.
Two days later, he sent Quli to the Chengbei Railway Station, and Xiang An went back to Fu'an from the Chengnan Bus Station by himself.Before entering the station, Qu Li bought him hot milk from the store, patted him on the shoulder and said see you next year, and remember to bring sausages.
Many years later, Xiang An thought that it would be nice if the days ended on this day.
There was fog in the sky, and he was wearing a gray checked scarf and standing on the criss-crossing streets of Hening, the air was chilly, and he cupped his hands that were red from the cold from pulling the suitcases and took a breath of heat.
It would be nice if the day ended on this day.Let the world keep the way it is, and everything is not so irreparable.

☆、2007 Jincheng
There are so many kinds of emotions in the world, paid, selfless, small and great, love and affection, what does that mean?Xiang An once spent half of his waking life thinking about it, but couldn't find the answer.
Life is not like a math problem. After writing down the solution, the final value is obtained step by step.
Besides, he is not even good at math problems.
On the eve of the Chinese New Year, the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Grandpa called him into the back room.The light was bright, and he sat down on the edge of the bed, seeing his grandpa's eyes clearly as hale and hearty as usual. At that time, he smiled, thinking that it was just an ordinary grandparents' heart-to-heart talk, talking about interesting things in school, talking about homework, talking about others talking about himself .
Later, he repeatedly recalled the scene where his grandfather leaned against the head of the bed and touched his hand.Grandpa said: "Eat more food, why are you so thin?" He retorted: "I'm still called thin, so don't everyone else become bamboo poles?"
"Xiang An," grandpa smiled, and squeezed his hand tightly, "When you were young, I hoped that you would strive to be successful, that you would study hard, work hard, achieve success, and become respected and useful people. But later, What happened to your father, he has been decadent for so many years, and almost never..."
Sighed, then smiled, "At that time, I thought, as long as you are safe and sound, and He Lele is alive, it's a rare thing in a lifetime. If you fight for those things with all your might, you can't take anything with you when you die. "
"The family doesn't expect you to return anything in return, and don't hold back yourself. Life is your own. If you live it, have a clear conscience, be happy, and have no regrets, that's enough."
"Xiang An, don't embarrass yourself."
When grandpa said this, Xiang An lowered his head and didn't answer anything, only the warmth in his heart was alive like a hot spring.
The next day, Xiang An got up early to cook, and saw her grandma sitting quietly by the window, she approached and asked, she came back to her senses after a while, and said with gloomy eyes: "Xiang An, now the two of us are the only ones left in this house. gone."
That moment.
how to say?
It seems as long as endless, but also like lightning.
All the fragments flashed like a marquee, and the world exploded like a thunderbolt, like a volcano erupting, and like stagnant water without waves.
He suddenly woke up. It was the last instruction of his grandfather, the last concern of an elder when he was dying!
But...how could it be?how could be!
When he rushed into the inner room and saw the person lying neatly in the mortuary clothes, he seemed like a puppet lost its string, and suddenly collapsed in front of the bed.
The thing he regretted most when he lived to be 20 years old was that he didn't nod and answer "yes" when his grandfather said those words.
Just a "good".Didn't let him know.
On the afternoon of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, his father, Xiang Zijun, rushed back to Fu'an from the provincial capital. At that time, his grandfather had already been buried, and the dark coffin was lying in the middle of the hall.
The New Year's Eve funeral was held for three days, and Taoist priests built a shed in the courtyard to beat and beat. At night, the lights were yellow and bright. My sister cried several times while guarding the coffin. Xiang Zijun hid in the room and drank wine for three days. Xiang An remained silent the whole time, saying nothing.My aunt closed the shops in the town, and the family came back to watch the spirit, and helped grandma usher and send to entertain guests.
Xiang An thought, I am really useless, grandma is the saddest person, but she can still force herself to be calm, why can't he do it?
Thirty nights, Xiang An pushed open the door of Xiang Zijun's room, Xiang Zijun raised his red eyes, messy hair and stubble in the middle of a pile of messy bottles that smelled of alcohol, and looked like neither human nor ghost. It's like going back to junior high school again.
Xiang An walked over in silence, bent down to tidy up the overturned wine bottles, and Xiang Zijun called him hoarsely: "Son."
His body trembled, and tears rolled out.
When the new year comes, you can even hear the exciting countdown to the New Year’s Eve Gala on other people’s TV outside the house. When people around are happily saying Happy New Year to each other, Xiang Zijun wipes his face and goes out the door.After a while, Xiang An heard the sound of firecrackers from his courtyard in his room.
No matter what, life still has to go on.
Fortunately, no one will be decadent for another three years this time.
Grandma was picked up by her aunt to go to town as soon as the first seven passed, and Xiang Zijun also returned to the provincial capital the next day. The third year of high school was tight, and on the seventh day of the first lunar month, Xiang Wen went back to school to make up lessons, and Xiang An was left alone at home.
He packed up his things and was about to go back to school when he suddenly received a call from Qu Li.
The sun was shining on the other end of the phone, the sun was warm and the sky was clear, and there was a clear and clear voice: "How are you, do you miss me?"
Lost for a moment.
Xiang An received Qu Li at the town station, saw him waving with a playful smile from a distance, and was hugged by him when he approached.Xiang An pushed him away and pulled out a forced ugly smile: "What are you doing?"
Qu Li took off her scarf and wrapped it around his neck, said with a smile: "It's nothing, I haven't seen you for a few days, I just want to hug you."
Qu Li studied in Fu'an City in high school, but their family settled in Jincheng very early on. His grandpa's property was left behind, and his father, Qu Huayang, opened a company in Jincheng. I started to play, but I didn't expect to become famous in the game, and even a little famous. His mother Ye Xian is the editor-in-chief of a magazine, and she is too busy to take care of her family.
So after graduating from high school, he never went back to Fu'an. This time he rushed back all the way to meet Xiang'an.
Qu Li's house is located in the middle of a row of duplex villas in the southern district of Jincheng, with wide gardens, fountains and green shade, full of Western elegance.Standing at the door, Xiang An paused for a moment, and saw a maid in her forties came to answer the door, took the things and called "Master".
Xiang An was stunned again, he didn't know that Qu Li's family still had the name Mary Su?
When I was in school, I always heard Qu Li mention his mother, and she praised her like a sister when she was young, she was also a literary worker, and she was full of books, so she would definitely be able to hit him off very well, although Xiang An knew that there was inevitably a princely boast in his words I still can't help being curious.
The first time I saw Ye Xian with my own eyes was at night, just like a dream come true.
Qu Li's home has a huge study room with several bookshelves and large floor-to-ceiling windows. Xiang An has no special hobbies. He usually likes to read two books. When he encounters a bookshelf, he can't move. He can't let go of a book when he opens it. .
At that time, he was leaning against the window to read a novel he hadn’t seen before, and Qu Li was lying on the sofa idly playing games, when he suddenly heard a gentle female voice rushing into his ears, saying, “You are just what Qu Li said. Your good buddy, right?"
Looking up, he saw a woman in her forties with fair skin and well-maintained skin. She was very temperamental. Coupled with Qu Li's previous exaggeration, Xiang An unconsciously felt a little cramped.
Qu Li sat up and introduced with a smile: "Xiang An, this is my mother."
Saying hello to Auntie Xiang An, Ye Xian walked up to him, glanced at the book in his hand, and said with a gentle smile, "Oh, did you read "Bianjing Flower Night"? This is quite good, the heroine is beautiful and lively, It's the type you guys like."
Xiang An was a little at a loss, he had never been good at communicating with people, especially now, he didn't know how to answer.Ye Xian seemed very interested in him: "I heard from Qu Li that you love reading?"
Xiang An wanted to nod, but couldn't be faster than Qu Li curled his lips: "I love to read it, but once it touches the book, it's like being dazed, and no one cares about it."
Seeing that Ye Xian was right in front of her, Xiang An couldn't roll her eyes, Qu Li scoffed, Ye Xian smiled and didn't say anything, before leaving the room, she thanked him and said that Qu Li was troubled by his care in He Ning, which made Xiang An feel uncomfortable. Ann is ashamed.
This feeling is so strange, Xiang An is inexplicably cautious like a little daughter-in-law meeting her parents.He was so stupid that he bent away from one muscle, and even patted him on the shoulder to let him relax, just like his own mother.
ha?Who is the mother?
Fortunately, Qu Li's parents are usually busy with work, so they hardly see each other, which saves a lot of time for greeting and greetings, so Xiang An can feel more at ease.
On weekdays, Quli will take Xiang’an to go shopping. Jincheng’s tourism industry is well-developed. Several quaint old streets are bustling with people. On Xiang An's shoulders, the two of them strung together for many days.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, and there is a lantern festival at the Langshan Confucian Temple in the west of the city, which is very lively every year.Originally, Qu Li asked him to pack up and wear something thicker to go out at night, but Xiang An thought they were going to watch the Lantern Festival, but ended up taking him up to the rooftop of a building in the west of the city.
On the roof, some colorful lights were randomly pulled, and there were cases of beer.
Surprised by Xiang Anzheng, Qu Li spread out a thick blanket, sat down and said, "My dad's company is just below here, stand tall and see far away, and today we will spend the Lantern Festival at the place closest to heaven, ha!"
Pointing to the west again, "That's the Confucian Temple, look at the gaudy lights there, it must be crowded now."
Looking over to An, he saw a dark mountain in the misty lights from a distance, and the lights at the foot of the mountain stretched out for several miles.Turning around and looking at this side, the urban area is brightly lit, and there are also street shops decorated with lights and festoons, which can be seen at a glance.
Qu Li took out the beer, handed him a bottle, bit his own cap and took a sip, bared his teeth and said, "Wow, it's so cold", and took another sip.
Xiang An walked over to sit next to him, and took a sip of wine, but didn't say anything.
Originally, according to Xiang An's personality, drinking is all about pointing to the point, let alone beer, it is impossible to be intoxicated.
But this time it was different, the festive lanterns were brightly lit, the wine was drunk and the wind was cold, and the person sitting next to him was not someone else, so Qu Li felt at ease.In this way, it was not beer that was poured into the mouth one mouthful at a time, which became the melancholy of the occasion.
When someone set up a Kongming lantern in the distance from the Confucian Temple, Xiang An became unconscious. He had never been drunk before, and he was not afraid of making a fool of himself. The tears are almost flowing into the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and I am not afraid of death, I just tore off the twisted scarf and wiped it carelessly.
Qu Li hadn't seen him talk so much, so he probably thought it was funny, and seemed surprisingly patient, he just hugged his back and comforted him softly: "It's okay, just cry. It's okay, I'm still here."
Xiang An's family was also in business when he was young. He grew up in the provincial capital, and his family with three generations under the same roof is enviable.Grandpa is an intellectual who loves to read and tell stories to them.There used to be a study room in their home, which was full of calligraphy and painting books collected by grandpa.
He used to be held in his mouth and held in his arms growing up.
Later, in the first year of junior high school, his father's business suddenly failed, and his family went bankrupt overnight, and his aunt was also in debt.The whole family was impoverished, and the grandfather dragged the family back to his hometown in Fu'an. His father couldn't stand the blow, and he was addicted to mahjong and alcohol to escape from reality. His mother couldn't stand it. Come a divorce settlement and a lot of money.
Xiang An said that it was the most painful period in his life, but he didn't blame his mother, after all, he looked at Xiang Zijun at that time and wished that he was gone.
His father was decadent for three years, from his first year of junior high school to his first year of high school for three full years.For three years, the grandfather was in charge of the whole family. An old man who always used a pen to write and wear glasses to look through ancient books carried a hoe and went to the back mountain to open up wasteland and farm every day, but he still did not forget to send him and his sister to continue to school.
The first major decision Xiang An made in his life was to accept the money sent by his mother.After paying off the debt, I used the leftovers to set up a small shop for my aunt in the town.
He said that he and his sister had grown up so much and owed a lot to many people.He said, Qu Li, do you know family affection?Family affection means that no matter how far you go, there is a place you can go back to, that is, no matter how much you owe, they don't expect you to pay it back.
Qu Li hugged him and nodded, yes, I know, I know.
Xiang An has always claimed to be sensible.In the first year of high school, I wanted to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, so I wouldn't be afraid to travel all over the world.Later, the scores in the college entrance examination were not enough, and I reluctantly went to Hening University of Technology and was assigned to the Department of Mathematics and Information Technology, and I was always happy.
When he went home, he always said that he would not report his worries. He thought that this would not make people worry or worry, but in fact, grandpa saw it all.
In the winter vacation when he was assigned to science, Xiang An came home from school. Grandpa sat in the main room without saying a word for a long time. In the afternoon, he found Xiang Zijun alone in the mahjong parlor in the town, and slapped him loudly in front of everyone.Xiang Zijun has been decadent for three years, this is the first time his grandfather lost his temper.Five finger prints were clearly visible on his face, and he watched helplessly as his grandpa strode out the door after beating him.
From that day on, the spirit of the family returned.Xiang Zijun went to the provincial capital with young people he knew in the town, found a job on a construction site, and started sending money home every month.
Speaking of this, Xiang An smiled: "Grandpa is a giant in my heart. As long as he is around, we will not be afraid of anything."
Qu Li wiped his snot off his face with his own scarf, and heard him shout out: "I don't like mathematics at all, and I don't like science at all!"
He grabbed Quli's scarf and looked up, his eyes and nose wrinkled into balls: "Quli, you are right, I am just stupid, no matter how hard I try, I can't learn well. I tried my best in high school but couldn't get high marks , I was only 73 in mathematics in the college entrance examination, why do you think I can't escape?"
Qu Li rubbed his hair, said softly: "How come, you are very smart, much smarter than me."
"I found a tutoring job in my freshman year, and only took one class. People didn't contact me after knowing my professional achievements." Xiang An took a sip of wine, struggled to get up from Qu Li's arms, self-deprecating and sad: "Quli, I don't think as well as you do. I have low self-esteem and cowardice, and I will never be useless! Quli, can you understand my feelings? You... oh wow!"
Spit a mouthful of filth at Anwawa.Qu Li didn't expect him to be so violent, so he hurriedly searched for water with paper towels.
When Xiang An calmed down, he leaned against the concrete platform and continued weakly: "At that time, it was also my grandfather who called, and he said, 'Xiang An, don't put too much pressure on yourself, our family is not short of money, you can be yourself Just do what you like'."
He squatted on the ground and hugged himself, buried his head in his arms and cried, "That's my grandpa, that's my grandpa!" Qu Li looked at him like a whimpering little beast, on the rooftop, in the cold In the wind, in the festive atmosphere of thousands of lights.
Stopped, went to hug him.
Xiang An, you still have me, you still have me.Qu Li gently kissed Xiang An's hair, and said softly, "It's okay, Xiang An, just cry."
The author has something to say: [×××× which has nothing to do with theater]
Xiaoyu (trembling fingers + extreme shock): You... Quli... You you you... You beast!You actually take advantage of people...
Xiang An (covering eyes + self-hypnosis): It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me...
Qu Li (disdainful + arrogant): What do you mean, isn't this what you want to see?
Xiaoyu: Huh?Yes! ... (after three seconds) ... Whoa, whoa, ditty!Well done! !
☆、2007 Jincheng
Xiang An didn't wake up until noon the next day, and when he opened his eyes in pain, he saw himself lying on a twisted bed, his whole body ached like bones falling apart.Qu Li was reading a book, saw him wake up and went out of the room for a while, and came back with a bowl of porridge in his hand.
Xiang An propped himself up and leaned against the head of the bed, and vaguely heard Qu Li say: "My fault, my fault, you have a bad stomach, and I took you to the rooftop to blow cold wind and drink cold wine, causing you to vomit in the middle of the night."
Help him up, prop up his back carefully with a pillow, and say, "Eat the porridge first, and take the medicine later."
Xiang An took the bowl, smelled it, looked haggard but moved and asked, "Did you boil it?"
Qu Li stopped pouring the water, struggled for a while, and answered honestly, "I... made Mama Zhang boil it."
Xiang An grinned his white mouth and smiled.
After resting for two days, full of blood, Xiang An turned out a stack of manuscripts for Qu Li to read, and his whole face was radiant: "There is a competition in school, I want to participate!"
Qu Li was stunned: "Okay."
Pushing the glasses to An: "Mathematics, I probably have no hope, I'd better listen to grandpa and do what you like..."
The competition that Xiang An wants to participate in is quite famous in Hening University of Technology. It is not considered a competition. It is more like an academic speech given to the whole school after a series of selections. It is not limited to fields or majors.
Qu Li lay on the bed and looked through his manuscript carefully, making suggestions from time to time, and nodded to An in a daze. A little foolish, couldn't help stretching out his devil's claws and rubbing his head hard.
For two days in a row, Xiang Anshu stayed on the sofa, carefully studying his plan for the competition.
After two days of being left out in the cold, Qu Li felt inextricably saddened when he thought that school was about to start and he couldn't go around with Xiang An to improve his relationship.
On the afternoon of the third day, Xiang An was dragged out of the room by coaxing and coaxing without any explanation, and forced to accompany him around.
Xiang An really wanted to refuse. He was actually not interested in the activities of the elderly like walking around and looking around. He just wanted to stay in the room without being surprised.
But Qu Lishen secretly coaxed and lied, "There will be surprises when you go out for a walk." He hesitated for a while, but he was already reluctant to be dragged out of the community.
The place they went to was nothing special, it was just a wetland park with few flowers blooming.
The two sat on the bench for a while, and Qu Li suddenly remembered something
