Chapter 29 farewell

Aunt and he sent his sister to the station.The parting that he had always imitated in his heart has come today.However, after his uncle and sister got into the car, he and his sister only shed a few ordinary tears through the car window. On the way back to the car, he was already very calm, as if he had finished something. Go to the door and walk into the east room, which is the small room where he and his sister live together.As soon as my sister left, she took all her things with her, and she seemed much more generous.He looked around, then stepped forward and tore off the paper pasted on the glass instead of the curtains, which had been yellowed by the smoke from the stove, and the sunlight streamed in from the window.The boxes covered with blue cloth that were usually placed in front of the window are no longer there, and they just fit a desk.As he thought about it, he picked up many empty bottles on the windowsill. ——This was originally what his sister used to hold hair oil, cream, etc.——Swept the floor by himself, brought a basin of water, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to wipe the table.Wang Ma came in and said, "Young Master, there is a call for you outside."

He put down the rag and ran into the living room. "Who is it?" "I'm Yongming, is your sister gone?" "Let's go, the car left this morning." "I want to invite you to come and play this afternoon. Your sister is gone, you must be bored, our place is very lively..." He thought for a while. "How? Why don't you speak?" "Okay, I'll go after dinner." "Don't forget, that's it, goodbye." He hung up his earphones and walked into the upper room, where the meal was already set.My aunt and two cousins ​​had already sat down.He told his aunt that he would go to Yongming's house in the afternoon, but the aunt just said, "Come back early." Besides, there was no sound from the dinner table.

After staying for a while after the meal, I asked my aunt for the fare and went back to my room.Wanting to change into a clean long gown, I opened the cabinet, but couldn't find it. I had to put on a mandarin jacket with very thin and long sleeves, put on a hat, and hurried out. Every day he went to school, he had to pass through the door of Yongming, the red-painted gate with gray stone tiles on the wall, but he never went in. At the door, because he was too short to ring the doorbell, he had to pat it a few times with his hands, and there was no sound for a long time.He patted it a few more times, and then he heard the barking of a barking puppy, followed by Yongming's laughter, and the rushing sound of leather shoes came to the door.

When the door was opened, a servant stood behind him. Yong Ming was wearing a short suit of brown velvet rope, holding a small gray pug dog. Seeing him, he smiled and said, "You're here, I'll wait for you for a long time!" He said, "How can there be a long time? I came here after eating." As they said, the two dragged them in. There are several flower beds built in the yard, all of which are covered with thatch.The trees in a row at the base of the wall, because the leaves have fallen in winter, can't tell what kind of tree it is.The grape arbor in front of the building was also empty.When you get under the shelf, go up the steps and enter the corridor-like corridor first.A large mirror is embedded in the wall, and there are several hangers beside it.Yongming stopped, took off his hat for him, hung it on the hook, and went into the house with him.

This seemed to be a drawing-room, with a great fire burning in the fireplace.There is a pair of large magnetic vases on the hearth, filled with plum blossoms, and a row of rosewood chairs and tables against the wall.Looking back, there is a woman under the window over there, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a light gray cloth shirt and a blue skirt, who is lowering her head to draw a pot of narcissus on the piano.A cradle on wheels was carrying her nearby.Yongming took him forward and said, "This is my third sister, Langu." He bowed.Lan Gu looked at him, nodded slightly, and continued to draw her picture.

Yongming smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and inform our young lady who has settled the matter!" Then he opened the door on the left and walked back. He just stood there, looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and at Lan Gu.look sideways.I think she is very beautiful, with an oval face and eyes like autumn water.The painting posture is extremely idle, with the left hand on the knee, drawing slowly one stroke at a time, with a desolate expression. He looked at it and suddenly felt strange that the pot of narcissus she painted was already withered, and he unconsciously noticed it. ——Lan Gu still draws her picture desolately as if she doesn't know anyone is in the room.

Hearing laughter from behind, Yongming walked in first, carrying a bowl of paste.Followed by a woman, wearing a green lotus purple silk gown, with a snow-white apron tied in front, holding a large roll of five-color paper in her hand.Yongming put down the bowl and said, "This is my second sister, Yigu." He hurriedly bowed.Yi Gu smiled and asked him to sit down, rolled up her robe sleeves, went to the window, took a paper knife, and said with a smile, "We are going to prepare some decorations for the New Year, you can help us too .” She pulled out a chair and sat beside the long round table in the middle.

He walked over shyly and stood in front of the table.Yongming then glued the red and green strips of paper that Yigu had cut into a very long sheet.He also did the same. Yi Gu chatted with him leisurely.He felt that her purple dress matched her fair face.Two deep dimples on the cheeks.Thick black hair, casually tied in a homely bun.The only similarity between her and Lan Gu is the pair of big and deep eyes, but otherwise they are completely different. ——He felt that he had never seen such a beautiful and gentle sister as Yi Gu. Yongming called out, "Miss Lan, don't paint all the time, come and help us too!" Lan Gu just lowered her head and said, "You stick to you, I don't have time." Yi Gu looked at Yong Ming and said, "You let me Let her paint, and the three of us can do it, that's enough." Turning around, he asked him, "I heard your sister is gone, who sent her there?" He quickly agreed, "It was my uncle who sent her there, wait for her After getting married, uncle will come back." Yong Ming asked with a smile, "Did you cry this morning?" He blushed and only smiled.Yi Gu took a look at Yong Ming, and smiled slightly, which contained the meaning of prohibition.

He felt grateful.But Yongming's words didn't really stimulate him, so he was still sticking to the paper practice. The baby in the cradle suddenly cried, Yi Gu quickly moved it over and put it beside her seat.He saw the child lying inside, wrapped in a small scarlet quilt, with a white velvet tasseled cap on his head, showing a very pale face.Yongming laughed and said, "This is a doll, do you think he is fat?" He nodded with a smile. ——Yi Gu sang softly in her mouth, she only cut paper flowers in her hands, but stepped on the cradle with her feet, making it shake slightly.

He suddenly remembered, and asked in a low voice, "Where's your elder sister?" Yong Ming said, "I don't have an elder sister." He looked at Yi Gu and then at Lan Gu, and was about to speak, but Yong Ming understood, and said: " We brothers and sisters lined up together, so I have a big brother, a second sister, a third sister, and I am the fourth brother—the baby is the brother’s daughter.” The doll turned its head to one side a few times and then fell asleep again.He watched closely, and felt that the little figure was very cute, so he reached out to rub her tender red cheeks.The baby's eyelids moved slightly, and he quickly withdrew his hand, Yi Gu looked at him and smiled softly.

A servant woman came in from the outside and said, "Second Miss, the old lady is calling." Yi Gu stood up.walked out. Yongming smiled and said, "Our second young lady is a prime minister. She is in charge of everything up and down. Mother dotes on her..." Lan Gu was washing her pen, when she heard that, she said, "Don't blame mother for doting on her." She, she is thoughtful and joyful in doing things, except for her, no one else can do it!" Yongming laughed, "You are turning to her again! I don't believe that I won't answer the phone, let alone our family is like a phoenix. Only hold her in one hand!" Lan Gu looked up at Yongming and said, "Stop talking nonsense, don't you just praise her? Last year she was sick in the hospital, who cried all night and didn't sleep?" Yongming laughed, "I don't know ——Don't mention that, I don't think there is anyone else who can win your heart and soul except her..." Yigu came in, smiled and said to Langu, "Grandma called and said she would pick up mother and us to have dinner tonight. I said my sister-in-law is not at home, and the baby has no one to take care of her. Mother told you to go with me." Lan Gu frowned and said, "I don't like to go! Grandma is fine, those cousins ​​sent by young ladies, I really can't get along with them!" Yi Gu smiled and said: "There are scenes on the left and right, who invited you to give a speech? Sister Qin and Sister Cui will come to pick you up in person." Yong Ming hurriedly asked, "Have you invited me?" Yi Gu said, "No. "Yongming laughed and said: "I must ask my grandma. When I arrive, I will invite you to dinner, and I will forget about me; when we come to our school for a fun fair, sports meeting, why don't you forget to ask me for a ticket?..." Lan Gu said: "In that case, you go." Yongming said: "They didn't invite me, how embarrassing! Even if they invited me, I wouldn't go. I invited someone to dinner tonight!" Then he looked at him and smiled. Yi Gu said the same again: "Sister, are you going or not?" Lan Gu put down her pen, stretched her waist, hugged her knees and smiled and said, "What are you busy with, they haven't come yet." Yi Gu said: "Wait until they come, it's not too late, mother will be in a hurry again." Lan Gu said slowly: "Then why don't you go?" Yi Gu sat down, still cutting out the paper, and said, "Why didn't I want to go? The baby's nanny is new, so I don't feel relieved to leave it to her. And there are often deliveries in the past two days." For the annual gift, which family should accept it, which family should return it, if you think about these things, I will be happy to go, and you can stay at home and enjoy your happiness." Lan Gu thought for a while , said, "I'll go then." Yi Gu smiled and said: "Isn't it! You were originally the role of Miss Celebrity, but it's more comfortable to put on your clothes and sit beside your mother... The doll cried again, this time her eyes were wide open, and her crying was very rapid.Yi Gu looked at her watch, leaned down and kissed her, and said, "Really, I forgot to feed the baby, don't cry, I'll take you to a nanny." While gently picking up the baby, this time At that time the nanny had come in, Yi Gu handed the doll to her, opened the door for her, and said, "Go to the doll's house, don't let her eat too much." The nanny agreed repeatedly, and took the door out. When the words were finished, outsiders came to report, "The two ladies from the old lady's side are here." Yi Gu quickly took off her apron and greeted her outside. ——He flinched very much, and wanted to avoid it, Yongming smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? We sat behind the piano and just ignored them. "Speaking, the two lifted two pillows from the long chair, hurriedly ran to the back of the piano and sat down with their knees hugged. They came in talking and laughing, Qin Hou didn't look very real, just like two women with curly hair and gorgeous clothes.Langu also got up to say hello again.They walked to the fire, stretched their hands towards the fire, and said with a smile, "Yi Mei is so playful today! Why do you want to wear this purple dress?" Yi Gu laughed, "No, my mother made it for me, because She likes the color. I did it last year, and this is the first time I've put it on." While busy ringing the bell to call for tea. The sister named Cui walked up to the piano,—Yongming waved his hand to tell him to be silent,—picked up Lan Gu's paintings to look at, turned around and said with a smile, "Sister Lan, why do you only like painting those decadent things?" Lan Gu just packed her painting utensils and said, "That's right, I won't paint if everyone else paints, and I'll paint if people don't paint!" Sister Qin also came over and said, "Your temper is still not good. Change—last time at our house, that Ms. Zeng wanted to see you, why didn't you see her?" Lan Gu said, "But I did see you in the end!" Sister Qin laughed and said, "She will criticize you to us in the future." Lan Gu raised her head and said, "What did she criticize me?" You are really cute, but you are too arrogant." Sister Qin said, "In terms of her status, she is a stranger, so you'd better entertain her." Lan Gu sneered: "Arrogance? It's a pity that I am Such arrogance! She said I was cute, thank her! People say I am bad, but I cannot degrade my value; people say I am good, but I cannot increase my status! I was born unable to speak, and I have no reason to be her status to entertain her..." Qin and Cui looked at each other and smiled.Yigu brought tea and said with a smile, "Sisters, don't pay attention to her, that child is too pretentious, mother is waiting for you upstairs." They took a cup, took a sip, and went upstairs . Yongming and him came out from behind the piano, Yongming smiled and said: "Miss Lan can really argue! Even I feel happy listening to it!I've seen that Miss Zeng, this kind of bewitching look, I want three eyes, and I have to dig out one! "Yi Gu took a look at Yongming, then turned around and said to Lan Gu, "Sister, don't be so arrogant, you are a guest at his house, why bother to come..." Lan Gu stood up and said, "I don't blame others!It's just that the two of them, Cuiqin, are too angry, so why bring up what happened that day again?I didn't offend her that day either. They thought that I would have to entertain them when I heard people criticize me for being proud. They didn't realize that I was even more proud! "Yi Gu laughed and said, "Come on, let's go up and dress up."Mother is waiting. Lan Gu went out and came back again, holding the door knob with her right hand, and said, "It's very hot today, I don't wear a leather jacket, but camel's hair." "Yi Gu sat down, picked up the folded five-color paper, sewed it up with a needle, and said, "Don't play in the cold, it's serious to wear your fur coat!" Lan Gu said, "No, grandma's room is always warm."Just one thing, I won't wear my lotus color one, just give me your fish belly white one. " Yi Gu thought for a while and said, "It's in the second drawer in front of my window, take it if you want - it's just too plain, and grandma doesn't like it." After speaking, she smiled and said: "As long as As long as you are happy, otherwise you will not be happy today." Yong Ming laughed, "You want her to care about others, it is wrong, she is 'to make a profit in the world and not to do it'!" Lan Gu sneered, "I am Yang Zhu's apprentice, if you want to be Yang Zhu's apprentice, he doesn't want you!" Then she opened the door and went out. Yigu watched her go out, turned her head and said to Yongming, "She has a quick temper, and you like to tease her..." Yong Ming quickly took it over and said, "That's right. She has a quick temper, and you always go along with her. She looks like a Bodhisattva, she only vents her anger on me, a brat!" Yi Gu laughed and said, "That's all! I've been trying to persuade you all day long, so I've done so much!" Picking up the scissors, on the sewn papers, Cut it zigzag, and slowly stretch it out, and it will be a very bright big hydrangea. At this time, the paper on the table was exhausted, Yongming said, "It's all over, I should climb up the mountain to collect it!" As he spoke, he moved a high chair and put it in the corner of the room, stood on it by himself, and turned to face him again. He said, "Don't be idle, just pass it on to me!" He quickly agreed, picked up the paper exercises, hung them on his arms, and approached the chair.Yi Gu came over to support the chair, pointing with her face up, the chair gradually moved across the four walls, and the paper exercises were all decorated.Then Yi Gu hung the dozen or so flower balls at the joints of the paper strings and under the lamp. Yongming came down, looked at it with his hands crossed, and said with a smile, "It's really brilliant, it must be even better when the lights are on..." At this moment, there was a lot of laughter, and from upstairs to the corridor, Yi Gu said to Yongming, "You take these Just pack up the odds and ends, I'll take them to the car." Said and walked out. The two of them hurriedly removed everything on the table, lifted the two pillows from behind the piano, and sat by the stove.Just after sitting down, Yi Gu came in with the puppy in her arms, Yong Ming got up again, pulled a big sofa for her, and said, "It's over, you should sit down for a while." Yi Gu smiled and sat down , she seemed tired, she just lowered her head lazily and petted the puppy, temporarily silent. The sky gradually darkened, and in the light of the fire, he and Yongming sat facing each other, talking happily.He especially felt that the purple clothes and crimson cheeks were reflected in the flickering flames, and everything in this room was extremely dense and gentle.At this moment, Yigu asked him with a smile, "Is Yongming naughty at school? Look at him dancing around at home!" He looked at Yongming with a smile and said, "He's not naughty, he's just lively. We all get along with him." Yongming leaned his head on Yigu's lap, and smiled, "What do you think? You just want to find my fault. Unfortunately, you can't find it!" Yigu stroked Yongming's hair and said, "Don't be complacent! Be polite, you will not doubt it." At this time, someone opened the door and came in, and turned on several electric lights casually.Under the light is a very young woman, tall and tall.She was wearing a light blue velvet dress, with beads under her neck, and a white fox muff in her hand.After turning on the light, he said with a smile, "This room is so beautiful, why are you so quiet? - There are guests." While talking, he had already walked to the stove, Yongming and him both stood up.Yong Ming said with a smile, "This is the wife of my eldest brother Yong Qi. Mrs. Qi went to visit his relatives today." He bowed coyly again. Yi Gu was still sitting, took Mrs. Qi's hand, and said with a smile, "Why did Madam come back so early to visit my relatives? You daughter, it's a good day. You eat and sleep, and now the nanny will be with you in your room." Madam Qi put down her muff and said with a smile, "I was calling to inquire about Doll, and they told me that both Niang and Mei Lan went to the old lady's place. I was afraid you would be bored, so I came back gone." A door on the right over there opened, and a servant stood by the door with his hands down, saying, "Second Miss, dinner is ready." Yong Ming stood up first, and said, "It's time to eat after working half a day," and then Say to him, "It's just a common meal, not worthy of asking, but it's better than school meals." Everyone talked and laughed and entered the dining room. There is a pot of daffodils in the middle of the table, and four pairs of spoons next to it.There is a large glass cabinet against the wall, and there are exquisite cups and plates hanging in a mess.There are several pictures embedded in glass frames on the wall, all of which are children, sleeping or waking up, crying or laughing.Yongming pointed it out to him, and said, "This is the image my third sister drew for the doll, do you think it looks like it?" He looked up carefully and said, "It really looks like it!" Yongming closed the door again, pointed to a piece of white rubber paper tacked on the back of the door with thumbtacks, and wrote the four eight-cent characters of "depending on the sky to eat" in the size of a bowl, and said, "I wrote this." He couldn't help laughing, and said, "Ms. Li in the calligraphy class a few days ago, even praised you to us, saying that you are very talented, and you can learn any kind of characters." At this time Yigu also came over, looked at it and said with a smile, "I just took it off early today, why did you nail it up again?" Yongming said, "What are you doing when you take it off? Is it only the fat boy painted by Langu that goes with the hanger? Who? Don't you rely on the sky to eat? If there is an earthquake now, I guarantee you won't be able to eat!" Mrs. Qi was at the dining table, moving the dishes, she laughed when she heard it, "It's not an earthquake, it's serious to come over to eat." She pulled out a chair and asked him to sit on the right side.He refused again and again.Yong Ming said, "Why are you polite? If you don't sit, I will sit." Then she walked up, Yi Gu pushed Yong Ming with a smile and said, "Why do you get older and more rude!" She just let him sit, so he had to sit. Yong Ming stood beside him, and Mrs. Qi and Yi Gu sat down opposite them. It's just a common meal, two soups and four dishes, and two dishes of side dishes, but it's very clean and fragrant.Talking and laughing casually at the table, everyone felt happy, but there were servants coming in and out in the middle, and some people were giving New Year gifts.Yigu would stop and go out from time to time, write back the film, and reward money for development.Yongming laughed and said, "Isn't this relying on the sky to eat? If the sky is pity on you, these people wouldn't come at this time and let you have a good meal!" Mrs. Qi said with a smile: "She is so busy, you still take her Happy!" Then she said to Yi Gu, "I'm done eating, you can use your meal and wait for me." The last two times, Yi Gu just sat still. After the meal, I washed my hands and went to the living room again.Yi Gu brought them two plates of candy, opened the piano cover herself, and went to play the piano. Mrs. Qi talked to them a few words, and then went to stand beside the piano.Yongming suddenly remembered, and asked, "Where is the landscape painting that elder brother sent back?" Mrs. Qi said, "It's on the bookshelf in my outer room, what do you want?" Yongming got up and said, "I'll take it myself." Then he wanted to leave.Yi Gu said, "It's true that I also forgot to invite the guests to read the picture book. Be careful not to wake up the doll." Yong Ming said, "She's in the room, and she doesn't interfere with my business, don't worry!" and left. In the circle of light and shadow on the side of the piano, Yi Gu was only leisurely playing a very low and soft tune, while her wrist was lightly moving, her eyes were deep and thoughtful.Mrs. Qi is very delicate and lazy, leaning on the piano with her left hand, and holding the beads under her neck with her right hand.The two talked in a low voice, smiling from time to time. He watched silently from the side, feeling that Mrs. Qi's bright eyes and white teeth are also very beautiful, but she has a different look - when they turned around by chance, he quickly looked up at the colorful knots on the wall . Yongming came in with a big notebook in his arms, put it on the table, and said, "This is a landscape painting sent by my elder brother from Switzerland. The scenery is so beautiful!" Then he pulled him over, and they bent down on the table together, one edition after another. Scroll down.He saw Chinese characters on each page, and Yongming said, "My elder brother translated it for my mother. He went there this summer and came back in the fall of the new year. If you want any picture books, please let me know." I'm going to make a list and send it to him, asking him to buy something for me." He smiled and said, "These scenery are really beautiful, and it's also a good blueprint for your third sister to draw." I heard the clock in the dining room over there, glass by glass strike eight times.He suddenly realized that it was time to go back!This warm and sweet place was not his home.At this time, the narrow and bleak old house and his aunt's indifferent face appeared in front of his eyes, and his sister left again, so he really didn't have the courage to go back.He hesitated for a while, and followed Yongming flipping through the picture book carelessly... In the end, he could only sigh slightly, stood up, and said, "I should go, it's too late, I don't feel at ease at home." Yongming stopped He raised his arm and said, "What are you afraid of? Let's go after reading it. It's only eight o'clock!" He said, "I can't, my aunt told me." Yi Gu stood up and said, "Don't force me to stay." , I would rather ask him to come back tomorrow.” Then he said to him, “Sit down first, and I will order our car to take you home.” He hurriedly said no need, Yi Gu smiled and said, "Of course it is, it's too late, and your family is even more worried if you take the car on the street." Then she rang the bell and walked out of the corridor by herself. Mrs. Qi smiled and said to him, "Come to play tomorrow, and Yongming will be bored at home, anyway, you have nothing to do during your annual vacation." He agreed, and Yongming smiled, "If you are willing to sit for another half an hour, I invite you to come tomorrow Otherwise, if you come by yourself tomorrow, I won’t open the door either!” he laughed. Yigu came in with two cattail bags, smiled and said to him, "The car is ready to get off, these two bags of fruit, I'll take them back for you." He hurriedly thanked him, but said no.Yongming smiled and said, "She took mother's new year gift as a favor, you still thank her, take it away for me as soon as possible!" Mrs. Qi laughed, "You are really Zhang Fei's treat, shouting loudly!" Everyone laughed and went out to the corridor. Mrs. Qi and Yi Gu just stood by the steps, nodding with a smile and saying to him, "Goodbye." Yong Ming carried a cattail bag for him, and the little pug followed, wagging its tail.The two lamps on the car outside the door were already on.Yongming saw that the cattail bag had been put away and wrapped it with felt, and said, "Come again tomorrow, I can't let you go early!" He laughed, "I'm here tomorrow, how about not going back for the rest of my life?" After pushing a few steps back, he called the puppy back. He heard the sound of closing the door in the car, and suddenly shivered. The door of the paradise was closed, and the poor man was shut out! He felt very dazed and bewildered, and thought: No wonder Yongming was so lively and smiling all day long at school, so he has such a beautiful family!He meditatively recalled the passage of this half day, everything was very novel and very warm... The car had already parked outside his house, and the black painted door lay in front of him.He got out of the car, and the coachman took two cattail bags for him and put them by the door.He knocked on the door for him again, then wiped his sweat and pulled up the car to leave.He suddenly thought that he should be rewarded, and pressed the bag of the long shirt, but there was not a single coin, he hesitated and said nothing. The door opened inside, and he carried two cattail bags by himself, and walked through the dark doorway.When I arrived in the yard, I thought about it for a while and then went to the upper room.My aunt was smoking a hookah, and when she saw him, she asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Did you pay for the car?" He said, "It was Yongming's car that brought me here." My aunt hurriedly asked Mama Wang to deliver the reward.When Wang Ma went out, the coachman had gone far away——my aunt took the money and said he was confused. He didn't say a word, and after a while, he said, "These two packs of fruit snacks were given to me by Yongming's sister—leave one pack here for my cousins ​​to eat." When his two cousins ​​heard about it, they stepped forward To open the bag.The aunt stopped her and said, "You take it down, they already have it." He had to carry it to the wing room again. Wang Ma brought in an oil lamp, some rags and a bowl of paste, and sat across the table, gluing the soles of his cousins' shoes, while keeping him company.He sat blankly, looking at the dim lamp, and Wang Ma's sleepy face, he felt a rush of emotion.Turning around, he took the pen and paper, and wanted to write a letter to his sister, but without thinking, he wrote: dear sister: How bored I am, how sad you are to leave me!I am the only one left in the world, surrounded by irrelevant and indifferent people!Sisters, a family without sisters is like a garden without fragrant flowers, which has no joy in life! Dear sister, sister in purple! ... At this moment, he suddenly remembered that his sister hadn't worn purple clothes, and he put down his pen unconsciously!He presently popped up his sister's thin, yellow face, with high cheekbones and expressionless nearsighted eyes.Two or three months before the departure, I rushed to get my wedding dress off, just like working as a maid for someone else, without any trouble or liking. Her behavior was like a ghost floating in a dream.She is very indifferent to anyone, and she is very casual with him, and it is rare for her to hold hands and say a word or two.In the car this morning, I stared blankly at his eyes, very dazed and numb, as if I didn't understand what parting was, and I didn't think about my fate after parting... He was even more stunned, and when he rolled his eyes, he saw Zi Yi's sister!With snow-white arms, bright smiling cheeks, and eyes as deep as water, there is tenderness and love... This purple-clothed sister is not his, but Yongming's! What he had never felt before: his mother's early death, his father's long journey, his sister's numbness, and his uncle's indifference, all came to his mind at this moment! ——It was all of these, all of these, which were deeply and vertically woven into his thirteen years of gray life! He slowly rested the pen on the ink cartridge cap.He stared blankly at the light from his wet eyes.Feeling that the flames had fainted three or four times, he couldn't help trembling—in the end, his tears fell on the paper. Wang Ma raised her head and saw it by chance. She was still arranging the rags and said, "You miss your sister! Don't be sad, go to bed early, or find something to play with." He shook his head and sighed. With a sigh of relief, he stood up, rubbed the paper, and used it to seal his tears.After standing bored for a while, seeing the bowl of paste on the table, I suddenly wanted to paste some paper to hang in the room.He wanted to ask his aunt for money to buy five-color paper, so he opened the door and went out. As soon as I walked outside the window of the upper room, I heard my aunt in the room, lining up with my two cousins, saying, "Where do you get all the money, buy this, buy that? One day is just enough to eat and play!" Then I heard the cooing and chirping voices of the two cousins.He stopped unconsciously, thought for a while, and returned listlessly with his head bowed. He saw the two cattail bags on the chair at a glance—he walked over wordlessly, pressed them with both hands, and after a while, he took off the two fruit shop signboards on them.Go back to the table, pick up Wang Ma's scissors, and cut off the four sides.It is evenly formed into extremely flat strips, and red and green are also glued into a strip of paper. Less than three feet long, the paper is gone.He lifted it and looked around, then turned around and hung it on the hook of the tent, hesitantly, and slowly lay down by himself. Wang Ma didn't pay attention to him, she just opened her sleepy eyes and stuck to the soles of her shoes wearily. He rested his chin on his right hand and tilted it on the pillow.Looking at the slender, unappreciated paper chain hanging beside the old gray tent, I seem to have a kind of desolate joy.
