Embrace each other

"Xiaoyu is so early, go out for morning exercise with uncle and don't come back too late, today aunt will cook something delicious for you"

Early in the morning, my mother's enthusiasm came from the yard.

"Okay, Auntie, thank you for your hard work."

"No hard work, no hard work"

It was hard to hear the sound of Bai Yu and my dad opening the door and going out. I thought that I could finally sleep in. Who knew that menopausal women would be so energetic. They just walked two on their front feet, and then came another one who was stronger than my mother. Scary loud voice.

"Her aunt, look at today's dish, how fresh it is, and it's 5 cents cheaper than yesterday's old one."

"Yes, it seems that I have to go early tomorrow."

"I'll call you when I leave tomorrow."

I picked up my phone and checked the time. My God, it was only 6:[-], which was half an hour earlier than the tofu seller.My great weekend is going to disappear with Bai Yu's arrival.Hey, it is said that I am willing, I am willing, it really goes to my heart.However, compared to the suffering I suffered when I lit a lamp for him and stayed up late at night to study hard, this seems to be nothing.I took a deep breath and got up from the bed with all my willpower, for fear that I would be restrained by the inertia that had lived in my bones for a long time.I straightened my hair in various styles in front of the mirror, and looked at the thick dark circles under my eyes. I couldn't help but feel a little sad about the premature death of youth. It was pretty miserable when I thought about it. Bai Yu is obviously two years older than me, but it just looks like I I can be his sister, it seems that I belong to the kind that is not favored by time.However, if I don’t have enough genes, I can only take care of it. When applying moisturizer, I used half the amount than usual, and I didn’t smile with satisfaction until I saw myself in the mirror, which was much smoother than before. Although the destiny is hard to violate, one cannot live without self-abandonment.

I felt good about myself, stood at the door and said to the two people who were choosing dishes:

"It's early in the morning, you have worked hard enough."

"Hey, the sun came out in the west today? Or is your watch broken? It's not nine o'clock yet."

My mother exaggeratedly looked at the sun in the sky and said to me.

This girl is in a good mood today, so I don't care about you.

"Xiaoduo still has to go to work today"

"Not on"

I ran over and chatted with the aunt first while helping them choose vegetables.

"What kind of work do you go to? I guess I heard Xiaoyu get up. I'm too embarrassed to sleep in," my mother said.

"It's not easy for the children to go to work, and it's hard to spend a weekend, just sleep and sleep."

"That's right, auntie still loves me the most"

"Yes, I'm not your mother"

Speaking of which, my mother picked up a vegetable and before I threw it over, I avoided it perfectly.

"Wei Xiaoduo, what's wrong with your face? Did you stay up late last night, why does it look like a layer of lard." My mother stared at me with horror, no different from seeing a ghost.

"Yeah, I didn't pay attention to it just now, but it's really true if I look carefully. It must be endocrine disorder." The aunt looked at me with the same expression.

I got up angrily and looked at the two of them, threw down the vegetables in my hand and walked towards the bathroom angrily, what kind of eyes, it was obviously not smooth, why did I have an endocrine disorder.

"Just don't put too much pressure on your children. Young people nowadays have a lot of ideas and a lot of pressure. Especially Xiaoduo, she has to be strong since she was a child. Don't keep talking about her. When a child grows up, he is no longer a child."

"Who says it's not? Hey, I won't have children if I'm killed in the next life, so I'll worry about it for the rest of my life."

I resentfully listened to the two people in the yard talking about themselves, and then went to the mirror in the bathroom to see what happened. I was stunned when I saw the oily face in the mirror. What my mother said was not exaggerated at all. Lard makes no difference.While re-washing my face, I thought about the reason, and finally figured it out. It was all because the light in my room was too dark.It's a good thing Bai Yu didn't come back, otherwise he would have played a trick and made him laugh.Forget it, the issue of appearance is really a destiny that cannot be violated.

After I washed up again, Bai Yu and Dad also came back from their morning exercise.Seeing Bai Yu's white sportswear soaked in sweat, and a few strands of sweat-soaked hair stuck to his forehead, his heart couldn't help but surge.A person who looks lean, did not expect to have such a strong side.

"When did you enter the life mode of the elderly." I looked away and asked pretending to be calm, hoping he didn't notice the embarrassment of me swallowing saliva.

"This is a healthy way of life for us!" Bai Yu said

"That's right, what old people, what about me?" My dad said

"Believe me, Dad, you are not old at all, you are just the age."

Although it's against my will to say it, I have to leave a way out for myself in this family, so that we can be evenly matched.

When eating, I watched my mother put Bai Yu and the pot stickers I loved since childhood into Bai Yu's bowl, not caring about my own daughter's feelings at all.However, watching them enjoy themselves happily, I really have mixed feelings.On the one hand, I feel that this will help the family unity in the future, and on the other hand, I feel that something is not right. Even if I live together in the future, I should be the person who is sought after by everyone.

"Mom, I'm hungry too"

I really couldn't bear to see them ignore me openly and nakedly in front of me, so I picked up my chopsticks and knocked on the bowl in front of me that was cleaner than my face.

"I can't take it myself, do you need me to feed you?"

"Mom, you are too much, I" is not your own

Before he could say the following words, Bai Yu took one out of his own bowl and threw it directly into my bowl like a beggar giving alms.

"This is for you, I can't finish it anyway."

I looked at him resentfully, this is obviously in my house, can't I feel a little cramped under the fence.

Because it was the weekend, and this was the first opportunity for us to get together after Bai Yu came back. After eating, the five of us made an appointment at grandma's old house. Bai Yu said that he wanted to go in and see what needed renovation. It's best to make a plan as soon as possible.I would like to say that there is no need to be so anxious. The door of our house is always open for you, but I am afraid that I will not be able to handle it properly. If I say this sentence too blatantly and attract everyone's suspicion, the gain will outweigh the loss. After weighing it, I I had no choice but to calmly say: Yes, we are strong in numbers, so it’s not in vain.

Since my grandma passed away and Bai Yu left, I have never entered this house again. All my impressions of this place are still ten years ago. Standing in front of the gate, it seems that I can still see a few childish children with bare buttocks In the scene of taking a bath in the yard, pots of tap water were poured on their bodies. They were playing around with grandma's kind smile, completely unaware that their actions would make the girl outside the door blush.

Brother Cheng Wei looked at me and said, "What are you doing silly?"

I said, "Forget it, you sure don't want to know"

Bai Yu took out the key and walked to the door. It may have been too long and the lock cylinder had rusted a little, so he had to work hard to open it.

"It hasn't changed at all, it's the same as when I was a child"

Standing in the yard and looking at the familiar surroundings, it seems that I have returned to that period of green years, the same house and the same people, the only difference is that everything that happened before here has become a story, and what happened after is unknown.Many things are changing rapidly in a seemingly unchanged layer.

"I remember when you left, you said that you might have to come back. How about it, I can't live up to the trust."Cheng Weige says

"Well, it's not bad." Bai Yu patted Cheng Weige on the shoulder and said

very nice!Although the years are passing, time is easy to get old, but what I care about is always there.

"Sister, is this my brother's chariot you mentioned?"

Following the sound, the third child was pointing to the rusty bicycle, but I could still recognize it at a glance and asked.

I nodded at him, but vaguely felt some ominous premonition.

"It's a pity, it's all rusted like this now. Brother, you said that your flowers would be so sad if they knew that the car they had dreamed of and dreamed of day and night had been ruined by time. After all, how many girls this was Your dream." The third child caressed the bicycle pitifully, like an antique corroded by time.

The matter has come to this point, I can only bite the bullet and cough twice, hoping that the third child can understand the meaning.

"What did you say to him?" Bai Yu looked at me inquiringly.

I looked at Brother Cheng Wei calmly, he smiled lightly and shook his head silently at me.

"Actually, I didn't say anything. It's just that when he was about to stumble and fall into the abyss, in order to lead him to be good and save thousands of girls from the fire and water, he occasionally borrowed your experience. As the saying goes, there is nothing great about goodness, goodness" What a big deal.With such a far-fetched explanation, the more I talk about it, the less confident I am.

"So you are accumulating virtue and doing good deeds?" Bai Yu asked, staring straight at me.

"Accumulate virtue and do good for you, for you" I turned my head and pretended not to see it.

"It's really hard for you," Bai Yu said

"What's the matter? Who hasn't been crazy in their youth? Didn't you just drive a few girls, have a few love affairs, and form a flower group? These all directly prove your charm, how much? People can't wish for it." The third child came over and put his arm around Bai Yu's shoulder and said.

"Brother Bai Yu, are you regretting the past now? Let me tell you, only those who regretted it at the beginning are qualified to regret it. Ask your elder brother, does he know what regretting the past is? Of course he doesn't! I regret it at the beginning, what's the point!"

The youngest spoke eloquently, not noticing that his words had already annoyed the two of them successfully.

"Wei Xiaoduo, you have taught well."

Bai Yu pushed away the third child's hand on his shoulder, and walked to the inner room by himself.

"Xiaoduo, this is your fault"

Brother Cheng Wei came over and whispered in my ear, then gave the third brother a look.

"Sister, what's wrong with them?" The third child looked at me in confusion.

"Close your mouth from now on and don't open it until you eat."

The peaceful coexistence I had so longed for was completely ruined by the third child.

The inside of the house is very tidy. It can be seen that Bai Yu has carefully tidied up the place when he left, but after all, no one has lived there for many years, it is inevitable that there will be a thick layer of dust.In the end, we decided to find out the things that are still useful and put them away in order to prevent them from being lost during redecoration.After the decision was made, we gathered around and rummaged through the old things brought out by Bai Yu. Naturally, the third child would not let go of this opportunity to learn more about his idol, so he was very excited to do things.Every time the third child finds something related to his memory, he can't help but sigh after talking about the plot at that time.

"I said where did my otherworldly temperament go? It turned out that it was wiped out when I was young. Don't you feel miserable? Look, apart from this pile of glass balls and sandbags, I can't even find a decent toy model. Yes. Hey, no, I have to choose a good time to be reincarnated in the next life, and I must not mess with the mud pile."

The third child tossed the things that Bai Yu took out, and finally shook his head in disappointment.

"What's wrong with the mud pile? Did you enjoy it even if you didn't play at that time? You couldn't get out of it," Bai Yu said.

The youngest stood up resentfully, and looked around unwillingly, as if there would be a huge treasure hidden here.

To be honest, if it weren't for these carefully put away things, I really wouldn't see Bai Yu would have such a meticulous side. I always thought that such things would only appear in Cheng Weige.Thinking of these, when I was flipping through them, I unconsciously raised my hands carefully, for fear that I would break them if I was not careful.

"Sister, I found a box under the bed in Brother Bai Yu's room."

The third child ran towards us holding a pure black wooden box. The surface of the box was clean and not covered with dust like other things.

"So clean?" I touched the lid with my hand and asked

"It's wrapped in several layers of plastic bags, maybe it's some valuable treasure," said the third child

"Open it and you'll know"

Brother Cheng Wei came over when he heard the sound, he took the box and opened it without saying a word.

"What is this? A snake, two clay figurines with different shapes, and a used homework book"

The third child turned and muttered, Cheng Weige and I also had inquiring eyes, wanting to see what kind of treasure was hidden in this well-protected box, until Bai Yu came and took the box away from us, we I didn't know why I looked at him, saw his serious face, and thought we were angry that we rummaged through his things without his permission.

"There's no treasure in here, just some random stuff"

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he took a special look at Cheng Weige. Is there anything that Cheng Weige can't know?

Although his explanation did not allow us to understand his behavior, we nodded as if nothing had happened.

It's not a treasure, and certainly not everyone can know the secret.

"Who is this girl? Why is she so familiar?"

The third child picked up a carefully cut heart-shaped photo from the ground and handed it to me. It should have fallen out of the box just now.

I took the photo and looked at it. It was Bai Yu and another girl in the photo, but before it was cropped, it should be a group photo of several people, because they are all wearing school uniforms, and it should be taken when they participated in a school group activity. It's just that his master cut off the others with ulterior motives.

I looked at Bai Yu beside me, and I didn't expect him to have such a romantic side.

"full moon"

I handed the photo to the third child again. She was once the girl Bai Yu missed the most, and naturally the one I remember the most.Speaking of which, she is also my creditor. After all, Bai Yu owes me all the snacks because of her.

"Sister, you are so powerful that you can blurt out without even thinking about it. I have to say that you pay too much attention to Brother Bai Yu."

The third child's unintentional words aroused Cheng Weige and Bai Yu's curiosity. I couldn't understand their eyes, but I always felt that they were looking at a pervert who specializes in spying on other people's privacy.

I coughed twice and said:

"We are alumni. Besides, Man Yue is a well-known beauty and talent in our school. She is not only the dream of boys, but also the goddess in our girls' hearts. Of course I remember it."

"You are not bad, you can still fight." Cheng Weige said with a smile

It's just that Bai Yu didn't seem to be satisfied with my explanation. After looking at me, he took the photo in the hand of the third child and looked at it. It might be that the photo was too old, and he actually had a feeling that he didn't know it.

"Brother, are you still together now?" The third child leaned over to Bai Yu's side and smiled meanly.

"no"

"That's why you're in love with someone else"

"no one else"

"Brother, it's so touching. You are a typical example of once the sea was too difficult for water, except that Wushan is not a cloud."

"In a sense so to speak"

Bai Yu's tone came from the top of his head lightly, but it hurt my heart heavily.All these years he has no one else, all because he loves a woman named Full Moon in his heart.I do hope that he can talk about a few more love affairs, which is better than hiding someone deeply in my heart, at least then I can delude myself into thinking that maybe one day he will come to me.

I didn't have the courage to look at his affectionate expression when he said this, I just flipped through the things next to him. The moment Bai Yu opened the box, I saw him put the photo into the spotless box that was preserved inside.

Since the full moon is his past, the sea is too difficult to find water, so do I belong to the bunch of flowers that he is too lazy to look back on?

"Is there any possibility of rekindling the old relationship between you and Full Moon?" Cheng Weige, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked

Some words have different weight when spoken from the mouth of the third child and from the mouth of Cheng Weige. For example, I can take all the words of the third child as a joke, but I can listen to Cheng Weige’s unintentional jokes as truth .

For example, now, when Brother Cheng Wei asked this sentence, my heart still sank. Although I already knew about Bai Yu and Man Yue, I still had a glimmer of self-deception hope in my heart. Words are the weapon that shatters my last hope.

Bai Yu looked at Brother Cheng Wei with a puzzled look on his face, as if it was superfluous to ask this sentence from Brother Cheng Wei.

"no".

The first minute I was still sad because he only pretended to be one person in his heart, and the next minute I was excited by the news that they had broken up. People who are deeply in love will always be mediocre and blindly optimistic because of some clues. I hope there is no People noticed the smile that couldn't help but emerge from the corner of my mouth.

The work that can be done in one morning was cleaned up for a whole day while we were playing and stopping.When we stood in the middle of the yard in disgrace, we couldn't help laughing as we watched the originally tidy yard become extremely messy.

"Did we lose the big because of the small?"

"It makes a lot of sense"

"How to do?"

"Forget it, leave it to the workers to sort it out."

"That's right, why do you still need those things when you come back?"

The afterglow of the setting sun was printed in this dusty courtyard for ten years. The few of us looked at each other's disgraced faces and smiled happily. For a moment, we seemed to go back to the past, when we were still fearless, I still don't understand the sorrow of parting in my heart, playing and arguing willfully and recklessly.After time has passed, when we have experienced parting and longing, and now we can still stand together as before, I want to say that it is great, we have not been let down by time, it is great, you can still come back to me, my boy.
