Paper rose

Chapter 43 You are a special blank (2)
Shang Ming rushed into the crowd from outside, tried his best to protect Bai Yan behind him, dusted off her body, wiped the mud from her little face, and glared at the little boys.

As a result, Shang Ming was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and Bai Yan was fine.In the evening, a group of parents led their children to the merchant to ask the teacher about their crimes, and Shang's mother almost tore the house down, forcing Shang to swear tomorrow that he would never play with the little bone spirit again.

Bai Yan sat on the threshold, and through the kitchen window, he could see Shang Ming kneeling on the ground, with his lips tightly pressed together, without saying a word.

Shang's mother was so angry that she almost fell ill.

When Shang Mingxing saw Bai Yan the next day, his eyes burst into flames.

Later, Bai Yan learned to be good, and when she saw the children in the yard, she walked away from her. No matter what others said, she pretended not to hear them.

Summer is here, and Bai Mumei has gone to other places to perform again.On a thunderstorm night, Bai Yan sat on the bed alone, too scared to close his eyes.But at this time there was a power outage again, and the room was pitch-black. Outside the window, thunder followed one after another, and lightning flashed across the window from time to time like a snake.

Bai Yan bit her lip desperately, her body trembling like fallen leaves fluttering in the wind in autumn.

Suddenly, a horse lantern was lit in the merchant's kitchen, and the faint light reflected Shang Mingming's handsome face.He was sitting by the window reading a book, looking up at the dense rain curtain outside from time to time, and smiling slightly from time to time.

Bai Yan got up from the bed, walked to the door, faced the dim light, and smiled too.

Shang's dad only went to junior high school, and Shang's mother didn't know a single big word, but Shang Tomorrow was the kind of boy who would cause noise wherever he went.He won the Mathematical Olympiad Award, the Composition Award, and the title of Top Ten Best Boys in the county.None of this is surprising. What makes people blush and heartbeat the most is that he won the 100-meter sprint championship in the school sports meeting, and the way he ran against the wind made all the girls in the school go crazy.He is so good that it is suffocating, but he is so real that he appears on campus every day.

He and his compatriots produced Shang Xing who somehow got it wrong, and it was simply his contrast. Apart from her mother's sharp mouth, she had no other advantages.Because they failed the exam, they stayed two grades and fell into the same class as Bai Yan, who was two years younger than them.

Bai Yan's grades are also good, but she is very low-key, except for classes, she does not participate in any activities in school.Even so, she is still noticeable in school because her mother is Bai Mumei.

In the morning, Bai Yan left the house, and every two minutes, he heard a "squeak" from the courtyard door of the merchant, "Mom, I'm going to school." Shang Ming said loudly.

The two walked out of the cultural compound one after the other.Some boys looking for trouble rolled their eyes and ran away from Bai Yan.

They once intentionally provoked Bai Yan, but that top student rushed up tomorrow as if he was not afraid of death, either sternly reprimanded them, or fought them desperately.Once, they made a fuss in the school, and they were almost expelled from the school.

As soon as the school bell rang, Bai Yan walked out of the school with her schoolbag on her back. Shang Ming had already stood there for a while.This time, he was in front and she was behind.

The wind is blowing slightly.The sun was setting, and a lush wildflower was blooming on the side of the road.

Slowly, one in front and one behind, it became walking side by side.

They always have something to say.Shang Mingming read a lot of books. He told Bai Yan ancient stories, foreign rumors, his dreams and ambitions.

Bai Yan turned her head to look at him, her eyes were bright, lively and beautiful under the spring sun.

The two walked to the front of the cultural compound, Shang stopped tomorrow, Bai Yan smiled knowingly, stepped into the gate first, and Shang walked in tomorrow after 5 minutes.

Although Bai Mumei was indifferent to her and was not at home all day, even though she was poked on the back and scolded as "little bastard, little bone spirit", Bai Yan felt that the days passed so beautifully and quickly at that time.

During the Chinese New Year, the cultural compound was more lively than usual, and every household was laughing and laughing, which made the coldness and loneliness of Bai Yan's house even more contrasting.

Merchants are living a tight life, but they will also be extravagant during the Chinese New Year.Shang Ma has a pair of skillful hands, fried salted and dried peanuts, fried rice candy, salted sausages and chicken legs, and the white geese could smell them sitting in the room.

Bai Mumei was nowhere to be seen at this time, and Bai Yan's cooking skills were limited.Sitting at the table with the meal in hand, Bai Yan couldn't swallow it no matter what.She turned her head to look at the merchant's kitchen, where there was steam, Shang Mingxing was wrapped around Shang Ma's feet, and suddenly reached out and secretly squeezed a mouthful of vegetables into her mouth, causing Shang Ma to roar.But that roar was laughing and doting.

Bai Yan couldn't help turning red eyes, she was not envious of the mouth-watering food, she was envious of the warmth of the room.

It was getting dark, and the sound of firecrackers in the cultural compound was one after another. Bai Yanwo was waiting in the room for the Spring Festival Gala, when suddenly there was a light knock on the door of the courtyard.

She thought it was Bai Mumei who came back, and ran to open the door. Shang Mingming stood outside the door with a paper bag in his hand. She smelled the hot breath, and her face flushed suddenly, "I don't want it." She knew it must be Shang secretly gave it to her tomorrow.

She backed away vigorously.

Shang Ming smiled and grabbed her hand, and stuffed the paper bag over, "I gave it to you, idiot." At the same time, a notebook and a pen were stuffed in, which should be regarded as New Year's gifts!
She took it in a daze, and Shang's mother was calling Shang tomorrow again, and Shang tomorrow left before he had time to say more.

Bai Yan held the paper bag, tears streaming from his eyes.At that time, she was thirteen, and Shang was fifteen tomorrow.

In the winter of 14, Bai Yan felt her chest swell, and her height suddenly grew a lot. One day, she suddenly found that she had severe stomach pain, and then, her lower body was bleeding.She was so frightened that she wandered around the room, just in time to see Shang Ming coming to the kitchen, and it was the first time she took the initiative to run to knock on the kitchen window.

When Shang Ming heard about it, he hurriedly went to the hospital with her.

A female doctor was on duty, she smiled and told Bai Yan that it was not a disease, but that she grew up and would be a big girl in the future.

The two left the hospital, and it was snowing outside. The two collected all their money and bought a bag of sanitary napkins at the supermarket.In the snowstorm, Shang Ming held his hands together and stood in front of the public toilet.Bai Yan came out from inside and smiled shyly at him.The hands of the two people naturally joined together.

Shang's mother still knew about this situation.

For the first time ever, Mama Shang didn't scold or cry. She didn't close her eyes for two days and two nights, and didn't drink a sip of water or swallow rice grains.

Bai Yan didn't know what Shang said tomorrow, but she knew that not all people who like each other in this world can come together.

Love is a matter of two people, but union is a matter of two families.

Shang's father and Shang's mother are not bad, but they have deep-rooted concepts. On Shang Mingming, they place high hopes that cannot be described in words.

They had always looked down upon Bai Mumei's brilliant life, and they also looked at her with contempt.As written in "Song of the Vagabond", a thief's son will also be a thief, and Bai Yan will definitely be a little Bai Mumei.This kind of determination is deeply rooted, and it is not time or reason to convince them.They treat her like the plague, lest she stain tomorrow's innocence.

She knew that tomorrow would be good to her, but they had no tomorrow.Even if he withstood all the pressure tomorrow and insisted on being with her, and she looked at Shang's father, Shang's mother who was heartbroken, would he be happy with her tomorrow?Maybe, the stubborn Shang mother will force her to die.

A woman who can bring happiness to tomorrow and be accepted by Shang's parents and Shang's mother must be somewhere, but it is definitely not her.

She knew very early on that some things can be achieved with hard work, and some things can never be achieved no matter how hard you try.

As soon as she graduated from junior high school, Bai Yan applied for the nursing college and was successfully admitted. She was studying nursing for a while, and tomorrow she will enter the intense third semester of high school.

The two are far away, but tomorrow I will write to her every two days, telling her anecdotes at school and telling her how he did in the random exam.She wrote back and said that the nursing school is very big and beautiful, and she has a good friend named Liu Jing.She didn't tell him that she missed him and woke up crying from her dream.

During the winter vacation, Bai Mumei went on tour in other places, and she would not return to Yun County until after the first month of the lunar year.Bai Mumei remembered to leave her the tuition and book fees for the next semester, but forgot to give her the living expenses for the winter vacation and after school started.The uncle who collects the rent and utility bills in the troupe has come to the door to urge him several times.She was so worried that she couldn't fall asleep for several nights, and suddenly remembered that this year's Valentine's Day happened to be the sixth day of the first lunar month, and her heart moved.She went to several flower shops, and wholesaled dozens of roses from them as if interceding.Wholesale a rose for three yuan, sold on Valentine's Day, a rose for ten yuan.

At that time, what was the concept of ten yuan.You can buy more than a dozen catties of rice, you can pay a month’s utility bills, and you can buy a pair of coarse cotton underwear.

If you sell dozens of roses, Bai Yan can last until Bai Mumei comes back.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, there was freezing rain in the sky, and it was surprisingly cold, but it couldn't stop the fiery hearts of those who loved each other.She first sold it at the door of several coffee shops, and then went to the KFC store.

There are many flower sellers, but the business is not as good as expected.Clear and faint, after a while, one branch was sold.Bai Yan stood there until eleven o'clock in the evening, feeling like he was frozen like a popsicle.Shang Ming stood next to her holding an umbrella, pressing her hands under his armpits to warm up from time to time, or stuffing her hands into his collar and blowing on the hot air for breath.

Finally, there was only the last rose in his hand, and Bai Yan smiled happily.

"Xiaoyan, let's keep this one, I'll buy it." Shang saw that the rain was getting heavier tomorrow, and he couldn't bear her to freeze.

"No, why do you want roses? They are so expensive. Your parents work so hard to make money, so don't waste it." She spoke plausibly like a little adult.

Shang Ming looked at her without saying a word.

A couple cuddling each other came across, Bai Yan ran out from under the umbrella, "Handsome guy, buy a flower for your girlfriend!"

The girl smiled charmingly and looked at her boyfriend coquettishly.

The boy was a little distressed, but he still bought the flowers generously.

Bai Yan pulled Shang Mingming to stand under the street lamp, counting the money over and over again, jumping up and down with excitement. "Tomorrow, let's go to luxury, shall we?"

Bai Yan's so-called luxury is to go to a restaurant for a meal, and it's already midnight, except for a few noodle shops and coffee shops, everything else is closed.

The two of them went to a noodle restaurant and ordered two bowls of green vegetable noodles.

"Tomorrow, I seem to come back to life." Bai Yan rubbed her cheeks, breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes sparkled, "I was a little shaken when you just said that the last flower was not for sale! No wonder you use roses to represent love , because she is beautiful and noble. It is freezing cold, watching a delicate rose bloom, not talking about the price, just thinking about the heart of the flower giver, it is warm and romantic. But romance is still based on material things It has nothing to do with me at the moment, so I sold her pragmatically."

There was a trace of pity on Shang Mingming's handsome face, he stood up to pay the bill, she rushed to pay, he gave her a look, she obediently stuck out her tongue.

Both of them lived in the troupe compound. When she reached the gate, she stopped and said, "You go in first, otherwise your mother will yell again when she sees you with me."

"No, you go in first." Shang Ming put the umbrella into her hand, touched her wet hair, and turned up the collar for her distressedly.

She smiled and walked into the compound humming a song.

There is a figure in the window of the shop, which is Shang Mingming's mother knitting a sweater while waiting for Shang Mingming.Facing the silhouette, Bai Yan sighed enviously.However, this mood was just a flash, she covered the pockets containing the money, and curled the corners of her mouth happily.

The next day, the sky cleared, but the temperature was still very low.Bai Yan got up, and just as he was making breakfast, he heard someone knock on the door.

She opened the door, only to see the flash of Shang Mingming's figure.There was a cardboard box on the window sill, she opened it and saw that there was a plastic hairpin and a paper rose in the cardboard box.The paper is red, the kind used to write couplets.The roses are very realistic, and when you stretch them out, they are charming and beautiful.

She raised her head, and Shang Ming was standing under the eaves not far away, smiling shyly and tenderly at her.

Shang Mingming was recruited by the Air Force Academy because of his excellent grades and physical fitness.The merchant set off firecrackers in the yard for nearly an hour, and there was a strong smell of gunpowder in the cultural compound.

The day before Shang Ming left, she confessed his love to her. She stood under the street lamp, looked at his handsome face, and bit her lips tightly.

Such a confession was just to confess to her what he had always felt in his heart, but it was also the conclusion.

This boy will grow into a handsome man in the future, gentle, considerate, delicate, and affectionate. There will be no one in this world who loves her like him.She likes him very much, likes him so much that she is willing to give her life, but she cannot marry him.

All she can have is the paper rose.

She raised her face, and he kissed her clumsily, hitting her teeth, and kissed the salty tears on her mouth.

"Tomorrow, if you can't marry the person you love in the future, what should you do?" They walked hand in hand under the moonlight.

Shang Ming closed his eyes, his voice choked up, "Then love the person who cherishes you just like you love me, try to live a good life, and minimize our regrets."

Bai Yan nodded solemnly.

"Xiaoyan, no matter where I am, whenever I am, I will always think of you and look at you." He kissed away the tears from the corner of her mouth, but without thinking, his tears drenched her face again.

She bit her lip, letting tears flow silently.

Breaking up is not a compromise of life, but a face-up to life and cherishing of oneself.

Make yourself happy, and you will be very happy when you see him tomorrow. This is the only thing she can do for him.

But is she happy?
"The body temperature is 39 degrees."

"The throat is inflamed, and there are rales in the lungs. Damn it, why do you look like a child, but you actually have a disease that children often suffer from—bronchial pneumonia. Quickly, do a penicillin skin test..."

"Call and inform Kang Zhu that he is in the hospital. Oh, and ask the traffic police brigade and the Public Security Bureau to stop looking."

"Little goose!"

……

very noisy!There was a sudden stabbing pain in her arm, Bai Yan frowned in pain, and slowly opened her eyes, unable to adapt to the bright lights in the room for a moment, she instinctively closed them again.

"Little goose!"

Did she have a fever and hallucinations?How did you hear the voice of tomorrow?This voice is much lower and thicker than when I left a few years ago, but this title and this tone belong only to tomorrow.

Bai Yan opened his mouth, and couldn't help taking a breath, his lips seemed to be blistered, and he couldn't make a sound.She stretched out her hand to grab her, and held her with both hands. Then, someone stroked her long hair and lifted her waist, "Xiaoyan, do you want to drink water?"

Bai Yan opened his eyes suddenly, and a blue figure came into view.She blinked and stared at the smiling and handsome face in front of her, the military uniform as blue as the sky, and the national emblem shining on the military cap, "Tomorrow?" She asked in a hoarse voice in disbelief.

"En!" Shang Ming nodded heavily.

Bai Yan stretched out his hand to poke his cheek, it was warm.She laughed, the corners of her mouth trembled, and her eyes filled with tears. "You look so handsome in military uniform!" Her voice was not much better than Drake's, but what's the matter, he is tomorrow!

I really came back tomorrow, from Chengdu.

Seeing tomorrow, the bleeding hole in her heart healed.

Did God hear the cry from the bottom of her heart?

"But you have become ugly." Shang Ming suppressed the tearing distress in his heart, and brought water from the cabinet next to her to her mouth.

She couldn't bear to blink, and stared at Shang Mingming intently, not noticing that the water leaked from the corner of her mouth onto the quilt.

Shang Ming took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth for her. Looking at her sallow face and mouth full of blisters, he sighed.

It took Bai Yan a long time to recover from the overwhelmed surprise, with a bright smile blooming on the corner of his cheeks like a flower, "Ugly is ugly, the girl's eighteenth change, tomorrow I will be beautiful again. Tomorrow, you will not give me any favors when you come back." My phone?" After the sentence was long, she was slightly out of breath, rolled her eyes, and saw that she was actually on the bed in the ward with an infusion tube hanging on her arm.

What's the matter?She remembered that she came back from Yun County and sat in a taxi.

"I called you as soon as I got off the train. I called you at least ten times, but you didn't answer, and then you turned off the phone." Shang Ming pulled up a chair and sat beside her.
