Chapter 4

Qiu Xiuzhen said that Wang Yutong was indeed worried when the factory was about to collapse, but as long as her parents were there, she was not really worried, and her parents would definitely protect her.The comics and movies she likes, the ice cream to cool off the heat, and the snacks that can be reached are all there.

Children have the nature of relying on their parents, especially the children born under the family planning of her generation are the only ones in the family, and they are even spoiled by heaven, and they want to leave the best for the only child.

Wang Yutong never knew what it was like to be hungry, nor did he know what it was like to worry about his livelihood, but now there was one thing that worried Wang Yutong.

If the factory were to close down, what would Qi Yin's family do?

"Oh, I know about this." Qi Yin's reaction to this matter was very calm. She had just paid the tuition for the second year of junior high school, and she was still sitting in front of the sewing machine, mending clothes day and night.But recently she has learned new skills and is trying to make clothes by herself with some old cloth.

"You know, have you thought about it? What should we do?"

Seeing that Qi Yin was still so calm, Wang Yutong clearly acted as if the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry.Why does she always care about nothing?

"Me? I didn't think about it. But it's useless to think about it now. There will be a solution to this kind of thing. I don't have time to sew clothes every day, so I don't have time to think about it."

"But...if the factory collapses, where will you live?"

"Is there a place to live? We have a real estate certificate for this house. Even if the factory collapses, the house will still be ours."

"Property certificate? What is a real estate certificate?"

Qi Yin laughed from the bottom of his heart when he heard Wang Yutong's words, stopped his feet, and the sewing machine also stopped, so he looked up at Wang Yutong.

"Why? Why don't you not know the real estate certificate?" Wang Yutong was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's okay if you don't know these things, you study English well now, and don't copy my homework later."

"I didn't copy your homework!" Wang Yutong said very seriously, "Qi Yin, you said to yourself, did I not copy once after the second year of junior high school?"

"Well, yes, that's right. This is my good boy."

Qi Yin sewed clothes seriously, sometimes her long hair would fall in front of her eyes, and she clipped it behind her ears.The long eyelashes and pink lips look good when you bow your head.

Wang Yutong likes Qi Yin not only because she is good-looking, but also because she is powerful.

Qi Yin is very good. She has to take care of her mother who is seriously ill and cannot take care of herself, but her grades have always been very good. She is usually in the top five in the class. This time, she even got in the top ten in the midterm exam.Everyone in the class knew about Qi Yin, and the class committee also said that they would organize students to go to the class monitor's house to help her.Qi Yin was frightened by this proposal, and quickly rejected it, saying that her mother didn't like too many people in the house.The class committee members seemed very disappointed with Qi Yin's refusal, as if they were deprived of the opportunity to do good deeds.

The homeroom teacher praised Qi Yin by name on the back-to-school day of the summer vacation of the first year of junior high school, saying that her father died and her mother was paralyzed, and that everything in the family fell on her little shoulders. Many people did well in the exam, and even got full marks in Mathematics and English!Do some students need to reflect on why Qi Yin, who has a difficult family, can do it, but your family can’t do it?

Wang Yutong was sitting diagonally behind Qi Yin. When the head teacher said this, the students in the class turned to look at her curiously.

Qi Yin's back was very quiet, as if he didn't hear anything.

On the way home from school, Wang Yutong pushed the new Giant her mother bought for her and followed Qi Yin and asked her, "Why don't you let them go to your house?"

As the sun sets, walking on the "August [-]st" bridge, which is found in every city, Qi Yin's body in a thin school uniform is wrapped in the orange sunset, and the heavy black schoolbag grabs her thin shoulders and pulls her down hard. .

"Who wants other people's sympathy." Qi Yin kicked the small stone under his feet.

"No sympathy, everyone just wants to go to your house to help." Wang Yutong pushed the car and followed quickly, walking side by side with Qi Yin.The pedestrian passage of this bridge itself is narrow, and the people behind them can't get through.A few boys forced their way past Wang Yutong and looked back at them when they got to the front.

Wang Yutong was squeezed but didn't respond at all, just staring at Qi Yin.

Qi Yin looked sleepy, his brows and eyes drooped, and he didn't speak.

Wang Yutong approached: "Why are you ignoring me?"

This approaching the direction of the uncontrolled wheel, it suddenly pressed over Qi Yin's white shoes, leaving a row of black marks.

"Ah!" Wang Yutong yelled.

Her yell woke up the drowsy Qi Yin. Last night, she rushed to make clothes and didn't go to sleep until after one o'clock. She got up at six o'clock in the morning to catch up with morning reading. At noon, Wang Yutong dragged her to buy tutoring Books, went to eat cold drinks, no time to sleep at all.I didn't have much energy this day, and I almost fell asleep while walking just now.

"I'm the one being crushed. What's your name?" Qi Yin patted his shoes and yawned.

"I'm afraid you will be hurt." Wang Yutong smiled, not wanting to change the subject, and continued to ask: "Everyone is just going to your house to help. You don't have to be so repulsive, right? Some people say you are noble."

Qi Yin rubbed his eyes: "Let's be noble, I really don't have time to care about these things. Even if I promise them to come, how many people do you think my family can accommodate?"

When Wang Yutong thought about it, he was right.There are two beds, one TV and one desk in Qi Yin’s house, basically there is nothing else to put there, even homework has to go to the dining table or move a small bench to press on it to write.If those enthusiastic people in the class really want to come, it is estimated that the two of them will have to kiss as soon as they turn around.

Thinking of this scene, Wang Yutong laughed. Qi Yin knew that she must be thinking about something strange again, so he didn't bother her, so he sat in the back seat of the car and said, "It's getting late, take me home."

"I'm going to ride a bike now?" Wang Yutong still wanted to walk with her more and stay longer.

"It's late, I have to go home and cook."

Ok……

Qi Yin is always so light, taking her with him is completely effortless.Wang Yutong's mother kept telling her that she was still young and could not ride a bicycle well enough to take others with her, which was prone to danger.But when Qi Yin spoke, she couldn't refuse at all.

Compared with his mother's words, Wang Yutong still wants to listen to Qi Yin's words more unconscionably.

When she got home at night, Wang Yutong happily ate two bowls of rice when she saw her favorite chicken wings.

"Mom! It's killing me!" She lay on the bed and yelled after eating.

Seeing her cuteness, Qiu Xiuzhen patted her butt: "You eat so much, be careful that you hurt your stomach."

"Eat something delicious."

"That's right, you see, Qi Yin has nothing to eat and is as thin as bean sprouts."

Qiu Xiuzhen's words reminded Wang Yutong, Wang Yutong turned over and crawled on the bed, his expression became serious.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Xiuzhen was really interesting to see the kid's serious look.

"Mom, do you think it's appropriate for me to bring some delicious food to Qi Yin?"

"What's not suitable, it's very good." Qiu Xiuzhen was sorting the wool balls she bought.

Wang Yutong muttered, "But she always says she doesn't like others to sympathize with her, and I don't know how to help her better."

Qiu Xiuzhen nodded: "That child's self-esteem is quite strong...Hey, boy, look at this, don't take the leftovers to others, it's really not good. Next time you go home with her It would be more appropriate to bring her over for dinner directly."

"Yes! That's great!" Wang Yutong jumped off the bed to put on his shoes.

"Where are you going?"

"I'll go to Qi Yin's house and tell her!"

Qiu Xiuzhen grabbed Wang Yutong's back collar: "You child, you are so kind to Qi Yin. Don't worry, you can talk about it when you go to school next week. Don't be too deliberate, or she won't come again."

"Oh."

At this time, Wang Jianguo, who was working overtime, came back, and he could hear his father clearing his throat and spitting from afar.

Wang Yutong's family lives in two households in one unit, and the unit has no door, like a mini courtyard house.

Wang Jianguo went to the door of the unit to wash his hands in front of the sink, and Wang Yutong jumped out, "You're spitting again! You're so dirty, so disgusting!"

Wang Jianguo smiled at her: "Alright, don't vomit next time."

"Dad hurry up to eat! Take me to the movies tonight! Did you watch any movies tonight when you came back?" Wang Yutong knew that today is Friday, and the weekend system began to be implemented in 1995. Tomorrow will be the weekend, so it must be at night There is a movie playing.

"I didn't pay attention. I ran back to eat when I was hungry. Let's go and have a look after dinner."

"Okay! But bring Qi Yin with you!"

"Yes, definitely bring your little friend."

"See a movie?"

Wang Yutong stood downstairs in the health center and called Qi Yin a few times. Qi Yin, who was washing clothes, pushed the window open, with some messy long hair tied behind his head, and there were soap bubbles on his hands.

"I'm not going." Qi Yin refused.

"Why! I've bought all the snacks and drinks!" Wang Yutong raised Jianlibao and Langweixian in his hands.

"I need to do laundry."

Seeing Qi Yin close the window, Wang Yutong felt unhappy and puffed out his mouth angrily.

"Hmph, if you don't go, I won't go, I will go by myself." After saying that, he was about to walk home to meet his parents.But after walking two steps, she stopped again, thinking that Qi Yin used to love watching movies, why didn't he go today?

"Little Tong." Parents came out slowly after eating, Wang Yutong told Qiu Xiuzhen that Qi Yin had to do laundry and didn't want to watch a movie.Qiu Xiuzhen touched her head and said:

"Tell her that uncle and aunt will take you to go together, and wash the clothes when you come back, and say that our tickets have already been bought."

Wang Yutong asked her parents to help her get snacks first, and ran upstairs to follow Qiu Xiuzhen's words, but Qi Yin hesitated and agreed.

That night, the movie theater played the Taiwanese movie "Mom Loves Me Again" about family affection.

No matter how Wang Yutong recalled it many years later, she didn't remember the specific details of the movie, but only remembered hearing the soft sobs of her father in the back row, and Qi Yin's tears slipped quietly between the flickering lights and the dark.

At that time, Wang Yutong just thought the movie was so touching that it made her father cry, and even the "Iron Man" Qi Yin was moved by it... It took her a long time to realize that the reason why people cry is not because of the movie itself.Wang Jianguo thought of his mother who passed away at a young age, not to mention Qi Yin.

Wang Yutong didn't know much about other relatives in the family, she had never met her grandma.I heard that grandma was only in her 50s when she died, and she didn't even wait until the day when her beloved son got married.Since then, my grandfather has been staying at my aunt's house in the provincial capital. The transportation back then was not comparable to what it is now, and it was very difficult to go to the provincial capital.Not to mention that you can’t buy train tickets, even if you stay up all night queuing up to buy tickets, you may only get tickets without seats, and then you have to follow the slow green train all night to reach your destination, which is very painful.Therefore, Wang Jianguo only visited during the holidays. After starting a family, everything was based on his own small family.And every time he went, grandpa would wait at the door of the house early in the morning, waiting for the arrival of Wang Jianguo's family.His aunt persuaded him to go back and rest. The younger brother didn't arrive so early, but the old man always refused to listen to the persuasion, and stood for most of the day.

Wang Yutong remembered that she visited him once when his grandfather was dying. She was not very familiar with him at first. His grandfather had herpes all over his body and looked terrible. Wang Yutong was stunned as soon as he entered the ward.Qiu Xiuzhen stood behind her and whispered, "Don't be afraid, little boy, that's grandpa."

Wang Yutong still didn't dare to go forward.

Wang Jianguo looked at his closest daughter and father without saying a word.

After his grandfather passed away, Wang Jianguo stopped going to the provincial capital so actively, and only visited his sister once a year.

Wang Jianguo never said that he missed his parents, and Wang Yutong didn't quite understand the restrained feelings of an adult man who is already a father.

What about Qi Yin?What Wang Yutong thought of was that Qi Yin's father had just passed away, so he probably missed his father.

Wang Yutong has never been a careful person, since he was a child.

What Qi Yin thinks and wants, she never really knows.

Edelweiss, Edelweiss, welcomes me every morning.

Small, white, pure and beautiful, always happy to meet me.

The snow-like flowers bloom affectionately, and may they be bright and fragrant forever.

Edelweiss, edelweiss, bless my motherland!

Misoldosolfa, mimisolfa

Misoldosolfa, misolsolsido...

The seventh class of the second grade of junior high school took the first music class of this semester. The music teacher was a middle-aged male teacher. When he played the piano, the male students in the class burst into laughter.The teacher was not angry and was still in high spirits, and told everyone that this year's music class exam will use Doremi to sing the song "Edelweiss", and the exam will be taken in the next class. If you fail the exam, make up the exam until you pass the exam-the whole class is dumbfounded .

Wang Yutong has been in Doremi this week, and it is easy to forget a short song after memorizing it.

"Why don't you take the test tomorrow! Who will remember next week?" When Wang Yutong complained, he found that Qi Yin hadn't practiced at all, and wondered, "Aren't you afraid?"

"Music class?" Qi Yin patted the schoolbag behind him, "I don't even have time to sew clothes."

"You're still sewing."

"correct."

Wang Yutong pushed the bicycle and kicked the stones beside his feet, and sighed: "My mother asked me to learn the piano, and she went to Aunt Sun in the factory without asking my opinion. It is said that she has a tenth grade in the piano. Let me go to her house after school. Study for an hour and then go home for dinner."

"It's good, Xiao Tong is going to become a pianist."

"Don't laugh at me? I'm still a pianist? Duo Ruimi can't even memorize it. That Aunt Sun is fierce. She is not married in her 40s. She never smiles when I go to her house. I am afraid of her." Wang Yutong shrinks Shrinking his neck, his voice became quieter, as if he was in Aunt Sun's room at the moment.

"Learning piano is very good. I want to learn it but I don't have the chance."

Seeing that Qi Yin was interested, Wang Yutong immediately said, "Then I'll teach you later after I go to study."

Qi Yin smiled lightly, and replied casually: "Okay."

It was another midsummer, and the two things that most children in the south remembered most were heat and heavy rain.

Taking advantage of the heavy rain, the heat of midsummer is too strong to dissipate even at night.

The attraction of going to the movie theater, besides the movie itself and the snacks, is the open space outside the movie theater.

The open space is very spacious, with grass on both sides of the concrete platform.The grass is sacred to children, a land of adventure, filled with grasshoppers to conquer.

The little boys have nails in their buttocks, and they can’t sit still for a movie. They usually run out at the beginning of the movie, jumping into the grass to catch grasshoppers. Occasionally, there will be seven-spotted ladybugs, and if they are lucky, they will even meet frogs.The girls played "wooden figures" and "three characters" in the open space.

The children in the factory all graduated from the factory kindergarten and live in the same factory area, so they basically know each other.

Wang Yutong would occasionally play with them for a while, catching grasshoppers and watching the boys tear off the grasshopper's legs so that it could not escape, but if they started to roast the grasshoppers, she would walk away.

"It's so cruel. They still say it's delicious, let me eat it! I don't want to eat it. I don't know what's in the grasshopper's stomach. It's probably poop." Wang Yutong patted the concrete platform beside Qi Yin and sat beside her.

"What's so interesting about grasshoppers? Children." Qi Yin choked.

"If you don't play with grasshoppers, what are you playing with?"

Qi Yin smiled slyly: "I'm afraid you won't dare to play."

"Why don't I dare!" Wang Yutong raised his voice unconvinced.

"Then you come with me."

A lamp was bolted to a rotten wooden pillar at the entrance of the cinema. The lamp was old and worn out and covered with spider webs.Qi Yin brought Wang Yutong to the lamp, and pointed to the lamp for her to look up.Wang Yutong found that the lamp was full of small moths.

"Uh!" Wang Yutong felt uncomfortable seeing the densely packed moths, "Qi Yin, you don't mean to catch moths for me to play with!"

"...I can't catch you even if you want to play, what do you see crawling on the log?"

Wang Yutong approached the wood and found that there were black worms on it, which were a circle larger than ordinary small worms.

"There are so many beetles here!" Wang Yutong remembered that a boy in his class had caught a beetle and kept it in a pencil case.

"Like it?"

Wang Yutong's eyes had already begun to glow.

"I'll catch you."

Wang Yutong is still afraid of these bugs occasionally, even grasshoppers.But Qi Yin didn't seem to be afraid of anything, so he grabbed him whenever he wanted.

Qi Yin's movements for catching the beetle were very nimble. He knocked the beetle off the wood with a branch, quickly followed up and held down its back, grabbed its antennae, threw it into the snack bag prepared earlier in the morning, and it was done.

Seeing that the longhorn beetle was already trapped inside, Wang Yutong immediately became excited.

"You go home and keep him in a box, be careful not to let it escape. Feed it with honey and it can live for a while."

Wang Yutong didn't know why Qi Yin was so bold and why she knew everything. She could even recognize who had mulberry trees planted at the door of the factory.

Because Qi Yin was by his side in junior high school, Wang Yutong, who had killed a whole tank of goldfish, still had the courage to continue raising many small creatures.There was a time when the school was very popular in raising silkworms, almost everyone had one, and everyone had more mulberry leaves than anyone else. Naturally, Wang Yutong was gearing up to raise one.

At that time, a family member in the factory planted a mulberry tree. Wang Yutong wanted it very much but was too embarrassed to ask others. Knowing that she was thin-skinned, Qi volunteered to help her and asked the family member for some. Later, the family member refused to give it to him. Yin took Wang Yutong to the Dongguan Bridge to pick them off in the evening.

The mulberry tree by the side of the bridge is some distance away from the bridge, adults can reach it with their hands, but because Qi is small, he has to sit on the railing of the bridge to reach it.

Wang Yutong told Qi Yin not to take any risks, but Qi Yin ignored her and just let her stay and watch.When the adults passing by saw the little girl making such a dangerous move, they all ran over and asked her to come down.

She unhurriedly picked several mulberry leaves before she came down. A woman came up angrily and asked her, "Why is no one caring about you? It's so dangerous! What if you fall? You fall to your death from such a height! Your parents Woolen cloth?"

Qi Yin curled his lips and replied casually: "Dead." Then he led Wang Yutong away.

Wang Yutong walked away with her, and vaguely heard the woman behind her scolding: "Why is this girl like this! She actually cursed her parents to die! Is there anyone to teach me?"
