Chapter 8 Let's look at the sea to four

Because I have to practice dancing after school, I came back a little late today.On the slope of Xinghuamen, I still stood for a while as usual.The sky above the city wall is now light red. Will the sea also turn red at this time?I silently recited "Let's go to see the sea! Let's go to see the sea!...The golden-red sun rises from the sea...," so now can't it be said that it is "The golden-red sun is falling from the sky" ?That's right, I'm going to write a book in the future, I want to distinguish the sky from the sea, I want to distinguish the good from the bad, I want to distinguish the lunatic from the thief, but now I can't distinguish anything.I came down from the dirt slope, thinking while walking, and when I got to the door of the house, I sat down on the door pier. I didn't reach out to knock on the door in a daze, because I saw the picker who bought the junk stopped at the door of the neighbor's house again.What about pickers?I couldn't help but raised my feet and walked towards the empty grass.At this time, in the open space in front of the door, I saw a man squatting under the big locust tree in the distance, and he didn't pay attention to me.I stepped into the broken brick wall, pushed aside the tall grass, and walked in step by step.

In the same old place, I saw him! "It's you!" He also squatted there, biting a piece of grass in his mouth.He looked behind me again.Beckon me to squat down too.As soon as I squatted down, my schoolbag fell to the ground.He whispered: "Is school over?" "Ok." "Why don't you go home?" "I guess you're here." "How can you guess it?" He tilted his head to look at me, and I saw his face, which was very familiar. "Me!" I smiled.I just felt like this in my heart, so I came, I didn't really guess what happened, "It's time for you to come!"

"It's time for me to come? What do you mean?" he asked in surprise. "It's not interesting!" I also replied in surprise: "You still have stories you haven't told me! Don't you?" "Yes, yes, we have to keep our word." He nodded and smiled.He leaned against the corner of the wall, and beside him was a big package wrapped in oilcloth, and he leaned on the big package, just like Song Ma was sitting on the top of her kang leaning on the pile of quilts. "What story do you want to hear?" "Your brother's, yours." "Okay, but let me ask you first, I don't know your name yet?"

"Engko." "Yingzi, Yingzi," he said softly, "the name is nice. How did you score in the school?" "Twelfth place." "Such a smart student only takes the 12th place in the exam? He should be the first one in the exam! You must be distracted by fun." I laughed, how did he know that I was playful?How can I not play! He went on to say: "When I was young, I was just playful, and I didn't succeed in my studies, and it was too late to regret. My brother, he is a good student, he takes the first place in the exam every year, and he has ambition. He said that he will go abroad after graduation. Go across the sea to study. My God, with my worthless brother, who has no ability, how can I afford it! Ben Wotou, the three of us, often eat the last meal without the next meal! Sigh !" He sighed, "It's a last resort to get to this point. Little sister, do you understand what I'm saying?" I seemed to understand, but didn't understand, so I just looked straight at him.There was a pile of gum in the corner of his eyes, and his eyes were red, as if he hadn't slept yesterday, and he seemed to have cried.

"My blind old lady was crying blind because of my lack of prospects. She knows now that I have spent all my belongings and changed my ways to start a small business. She doesn't know anything else about me. My younger brother, who is obsessed with reading books, even treats me as a fool." Good brother. No, I support my younger brother to study, and I wholeheartedly want to let him go across the ocean to study. Am I not a good person? Xiaoyingzi, do you think I am a good person? A bad person? Huh?" Good guy, bad guy, this is the thing I can't distinguish clearly, why did he come to ask me?I shake my head. "Not a good person?" He narrowed his eyes and pointed to his nose.

I still shook my head. "Not a bad guy?" He smiled, tears streaming from behind his eyeballs. "I don't know what is good and bad. There are too many people, it's hard to tell." I looked up at the sky and suddenly remembered. "Can you tell the difference between the sea and the sky? We have a lesson, and I'll read it to you." | I just recited the lesson "Let's go to see the sea", and I read it slowly one by one, while he tilted his head and listened carefully.I read a sentence, and he nodded "hmm".After reading it, I said:

"Does the golden-red sun rise from the blue sea? But does it also rise from the blue sky? I can't tell the sea from the sky, and I can't tell the good from the bad." "Yes," he nodded The head agreed with me: "Little sister, you have a good mind. One day in the future, you will be able to distinguish these things. In the future, when my brother is going to study abroad on a big ship, we will see him off and he will be able to see the sea." Now, see how it differs from the sky." "Let's go to see the sea! Let's go to see the sea!" I recited again happily.

"Yes, let's look at the sea, let's look at the sea, white sails are flying on the blue sea,... what sun is there?" "Golden sun, rising from the sea,..." I taught him sentence by sentence, and he liked the book very much. He said: "Little sister, I will never forget you. I have never told anyone about my thoughts, even my brother." What is on his mind?Is what he said just now a matter of his heart?But I don't fully understand, and I don't bother to ask.It's just that his younger brother doesn't know how long it will take to go to foreign countries by ship?Anyway, we managed to book a date, a "Let's Go to the Sea" date.
