Feather to be a beauty
Chapter 3 Your Tenderness That Year
Chapter 3 Your Tenderness That Year
After Lu Renzhou left, Lin Aizhen woke up slowly from her sleep.When she woke up and saw Cheng Jun lying on the sofa watching cartoons, she immediately became furious, picked up a broom and chased the overlord for two blocks.
"Unlucky guy, stop!" Lin Aizhen chased after her and scolded, "I'm so ambitious, if you have the guts to run away from home, don't come back if you have the guts!"
Cheng Jun ran in the front and shouted: "You're beating someone, help—" After running for two streets, Lin Aizhen was thrown away.
Lin Aizhen stood on the street, panting, "Damn girl, I will break your leg sooner or later!"
Cheng Jun was often beaten by Lin Aizhen, but he was not often chased and beaten by her.Although Lin Aizhen has lived in the market for nearly ten years, she still has a little bottom line, unlike Lin Xiaoguang's mother, who has no scruples about splashing.
However, Cheng Jun really angered her this time.She completely gave up her image, stood there with her waist pinched and spit angrily, she was far from the Mrs. Ye family ten years ago.
Cheng Jun didn't know, after Lin Aizhen hung up the phone call from her in the morning, the old lady of the Ye family, her biological grandmother Yang Lanshu called in right after her, and asked Lin Aizhen in a cold tone: "What do you mean?"
"I think we reached a consensus ten years ago that she has nothing to do with the Ye family!" Yang Lanshu said coldly.
Lin Aizhen sneered, leaned on the sofa chair, and asked her in a leisurely tone: "Why are you so nervous?"
"Lin Aizhen, don't forget our agreement! If you still want to get alimony, don't let her appear in the Ye family again! I will do what I say!" The old lady of the Ye family yelled a long paragraph of warning, waiting Lin Aizhen snapped and hung up the phone.
What a bummer!Lin Aizhen dropped the phone, her chest heaving with anger.
Lin Chengjun has been beaten since she was a child, and the chapter of running away from home is just let her turn over casually. It is really a trivial matter in her unrestrained and trouble-free dominance career.Children always have no concept of time, and the days slip by Lin Chengjun's feet day by day.
She soon returned to her life in the small town and went to play cards with her mother. Lin Aizhen still lost her temper at her when she lost the game.Cheng Jun also turned his head and forgot about the pain as usual, and after a while he provoked her again.
Sometimes she would think of that morning in Jianglin, the scene of hundreds of pigeons cooing and flapping their wings soaring into the sky.
At her age, she has not yet formed a complete concept of beauty and ugliness.Especially Lu Renzhou, who is about to turn 19, is no different from an adult in her eyes.Children may still be able to make judgments about their peers, but they tend to lack attention and judgment for people who are not in the same age group.
Therefore, when she first met Lu Renzhou, it can be said that she was not impressed by the other party's beauty and demeanor at all. On the contrary, it was the scene in the morning light that impressed her even more.
She clearly remembered that Lu Renzhou was like a king returning from victory, standing in the cool winter morning breeze, directing the movements of the pigeons, clean, neat, beautiful and magical, she even suspected that he was a magician.
In a few days, this year's New Year's Eve came, and Cheng Jun grew another year.
Cheng Jun's New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at the poker table with Lin Aizhen and her poker friends.After eating, the adults quickly opened the table again. Many people outside the house were setting off firecrackers, and Cheng Jun wandered to Lin Xiaoguang's house alone.
The three of them were watching the Spring Festival Gala. Lin Xiaoguang hugged his stomach and fell on his mother, laughing.Lin Xiaoguang's parents were also having fun, and greeted her with a smile: "The devil is coming! Come in!"
Cheng Jun walked in, and just sat down on the small stool, Lin Xiaoguang took out 20 yuan from the pocket of the new clothes, and looked at her proudly, "Lin Chengjun, why haven't you changed your new clothes yet? Look, my dad and I The New Year's money given by my mother! Where's yours?"
Cheng Jun looked at the money in his hand and let out a "tch", "Isn't it going to be returned to your mother at dawn tomorrow?"
Lin Xiaoguang was originally in high spirits, but when she blocked him, he immediately lowered his face and gave her a white look.Lin Xiaoguang's mother ate the melon seeds and asked her, "Have you eaten yet? Your mother won't even cook New Year's Eve dinner, right?"
"Eat." Cheng Jun curled his lips and said, "I'm so stuffed."
"Ha ha."
Cheng Jun sat at Lin Xiaoguang's house for about ten minutes, and felt that their family was boring watching the Spring Festival Gala, so he wandered home alone.
After returning home, she collapsed on the bed, stared at the ceiling for a while, and picked up the little pig on the bed to play with.Lu Renzhou said that wearing this thing, the pigeon will make a nice sound when it flies.
After fiddling on the bed for a while, she suddenly remembered something, pulled up her shoes and ran to her mother's room, and dragged the sitting fan covered with cloth to the hall.
Plug in the electricity, press the button, and the winter wind will magnify the cold several times and then rush over.Cheng Jun shivered from the cold, but jumped up happily.She ran into her room, took out the little pig, and shook it back and forth against the fan.
She gritted her teeth and turned the wind to the maximum, and then heard the wind passing through the whistle, making a small, somewhat familiar sound.
This New Year's Eve, she was alone at home, running around in front of the fan happily, and the piglet made a "whoosh" sound, and she giggled excitedly.
The consequence of this madness was that the next day, Cheng Jun lay under the blanket, covering his nose and inhaling continuously.Jammed!
She habitually pushed the door of Lin Aizhen's room and came back.She was always afraid that one day Lin Aizhen would suddenly not come back, and there would be no one to beat her up.Of course, she only thinks about this kind of fear in her heart, and never tells people about it, because it will make people laugh out loud.
The neighbors outside the house were all walking around the streets to pay New Year's greetings. Cheng Jun came back after going out for a stroll, checked the time, and took out a neatly folded note from the drawer.There were two numbers on it, she thought about it, and dialed the bottom number.
The phone rang a few times and was connected, and the low voice rang in my ear, "Hello, who is it?"
"Brother Lu, happy new year!" Cheng Jun said loudly into the phone.
"Cheng Jun?" Lu Renzhou froze for a moment, then smiled and wished her a happy new year.
"Did you just feed the pigeons?"
Lu Renzhou smiled, "Yes, I just went downstairs."
"Oh, hehe." Cheng Jun was digging at the phone line, not thinking about what to say, and the phone fell silent.
"Have a cold? His voice is a little hoarse." Lu Renzhou asked, "Huh?"
"A little bit, mean."
Lu Renzhou hooked the corners of his lips, "Remember to drink plenty of water. Have you called your brother?"
Cheng Jun shook his head, "No."
"Why don't you fight?"
"I only have their home phone number, I don't want to call." Cheng Jun hesitated for a moment, and told the truth, "Can you tell him a happy new year for me? Also, by the way, when will he come?" Look at me?"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Renzhou sat on the sofa for a while, picked up the car keys and went home.He was riding a racing motorcycle today, and he returned to Lu's house in about half an hour.
As he expected, Ye Chengcheng came to Lu's house early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings.The two sat and chatted with their elders for a few words, and then Lu Liheng's old friends came to pay New Year's greetings one after another, so the two took the opportunity to hide on the second floor, drank a bottle of red wine from their collection, and had a good time.
After drinking for a while, Lu Renzhou conveyed Cheng Jun's original words to Ye Chengcheng.Ye Chengcheng was silent for a few seconds, shook the wine glass in his hand, and sighed, "Let's talk!"
Lu Renzhou leaned back on the balcony railing, remembering Cheng Jun's red eyes and unwillingness to shed tears at the door of Ye's house that night, and his slightly disappointed tone in the morning. Looking at Ye Chengcheng's attitude at this time, he couldn't help talking, "You Don’t you also believe in that set of things?”
Ye Chengcheng didn't realize the meaning of his words, he was stunned for a while, and then he looked embarrassed and said: "Believe it or not, it has been so many years, she is almost ten years old." He lowered his head and smiled, and said, "After I went to university last year, I went to find them behind my grandmother's back. I just said a few words to her, but I didn't expect that she would still remember me a year later."
"She looks small, but actually knows a lot of things." Lu Renzhou said.
Ye Chengcheng knew that Lu Renzhou had probably heard about these things a long time ago, so he simply didn't hide it, "Ask me if you believe it or not, but my grandma does. You also saw her hatred for Cheng Jun that day." He stood on the balcony, Looking into the distance, the voice is also a little light.
"She's just a child after all." That's not fair.Lu Renzhou disagreed, but it was inconvenient for him to judge the second half of the sentence.
Ye Chengcheng shook his head, "When my mother was pregnant with Chengjun, my grandma asked someone to do the math, saying that the fate was too hard, and it was my parents who insisted on giving birth to her."
Lu Renzhou took another sip of his wine, but didn't answer.
Ye Chengcheng smiled wryly, "I also think it's ridiculous. It's so old, I still believe this. But it's such a coincidence, my grandpa and father both had accidents on the day she was born, and my grandma will probably never let it go for the rest of her life."
Ten years ago, Lin Aizhen was pushed into the delivery room, and Ye Chengcheng's father and grandfather rushed to the hospital in different cars, and finally got into car accidents one after another.One passed away and the other was paraplegic.Outsiders can't empathize with the feeling of the sky falling overnight.In the past ten years, thanks to Yang Lanshu's tough tactics, the precarious Ye family was saved.
Ye Chengcheng has never disobeyed Yang Lanshu.
Lu Renzhou glanced at Ye Chengcheng, and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't talk about those who are celebrating Chinese New Year."
Ye Chengcheng drank a little more wine, his head was a little dizzy, and he couldn't help talking more.
"You think she's cute too, right? The first time I saw her, she was beating a little boy who was half a head taller than her on the ground. She looked like a doll, and she was unambiguous in the fight. Ye Chengcheng twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "My mother didn't really want to see me. The door didn't let me in. I stood at the door for a while and then left. You don't know, when I heard her call my brother, I felt very guilty." "
Ye Chengcheng's words reminded Lu Renzhou of his first meeting with Cheng Jun.She told him with some pride at the police station that she had beaten someone into the police station.He couldn't help but smile, a little girl is still proud of such a thing?
He shook his head, and then thought about it, fortunately it was a little girl, otherwise he didn't know how many troubles he would have caused.
It's a pity that Lu Renzhou found out later that the little girl's trouble caused people a headache, and it didn't make sense...
After all, Ye Chengcheng didn't come to visit her as Cheng Jun wished, and school started in a blink of an eye, and Cheng Jun didn't have the time to think about it.Because the night before school started, she suddenly found that her winter homework was still in the second unit that she had copied at the police station last time.
This fact was too cruel, so Lin Aizhen played cards at the poker table all night, and she wrote all night at home.
The next day, she still could not escape the fate of being fined to clean the toilet.And Lin Xiaoguang, who was behind her, was not much better than her. In the sarcasm of the homeroom teacher, Lin Xiaoguang's diary is a barometer, and it is still very accurate.
Therefore, for two consecutive weeks, she and Lin Xiaoguang's morning exercises ran counter to others.The two squatted alone in the men's and women's toilets, sadly surviving the drowsy morning amidst the strong smell.
Life is even more sad because of the start of school. Lin Chengjun is immersed in the shadow of this kind of corporal punishment and cannot extricate himself.
That night, while she was sitting on the sofa and signed Lin Aizhen's name in cursive script with self-pity, she took out her homework and decided to be a good person, when the phone at home suddenly rang.
It has been several years since this call was connected, and it has always only rang at noon, and it has always been the time when Lin Aizhen's poker friends are missing one out of three, urging Lin Aizhen to get up.Cheng Jun crawled over, picked it up suspiciously, and then called out in surprise: "Brother?"
Ye Chengcheng actually hesitated for a long time before calling her.He explained on the phone that there were a lot of courses in the university semester, and he didn't have time to see her for the time being, so he asked her to write down his mobile phone number and call him if there was anything to do.
Ye Chengcheng asked about her grades, school situation, and her hobbies.Cheng Jun's mind was spinning quickly, and he thought of many hobbies temporarily, such as reading books, such as practicing calligraphy, and the most real thing was the sentence "I have grown a pair of scud".
The two chatted for ten minutes. Before hanging up the phone, Ye Chengcheng promised that if she could score [-]% in both subjects in the final exam, he would take her to Jianglin during the summer vacation.
Cheng Jun was so excited because of this call that he didn't want to do his homework anymore.She was bouncing up and down in the hall by herself, she was so excited, she really wanted to tell everyone...
Thinking of this, she really raised her legs and ran out the door, but stopped after running a few steps. If she told Lin Xiaoguang about the loudspeaker, Lin Aizhen would definitely know it within half an hour. If she knew about it, she would definitely know it. To be beaten again.
Because, after she ran away from home last time, Lin Aizhen gave her a death order: Do not contact anyone in the Ye family.
Lin Aizhen said, if you don't listen to persuasion, don't blame her for being rude.When Lin Aizhen said these words, her tone was very calm, but Cheng Jun nodded tactfully and assured that she would never be stupid and step on a landmine.
Cheng Jun sighed deeply, and slowly moved back into the room.
But the excitement couldn't be calmed down for a long time. At such an exciting moment, how could I sleep tonight if I didn't spit it out quickly!
She suddenly thought of someone, and then rushed to the phone, dialed the phone dancing, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Lu!" Uncle Zhong told him that Lu Renzhou was going to participate in a [-]-kilometer designated pigeon race. Haven't come home yet.
Pigeon race?She really wants to participate, Cheng Jun thought to himself.Then I chatted with Uncle Zhong for a few words, but I always felt that the generation gap was too deep to talk about, so I hung up the phone wearily.
What a cavity of joy, there is no place to vent...
That night, she tossed and turned in bed, imagining many scenes of Ye Chengcheng taking her out to play.I wonder if he can rollerblade?Lin Xiaoguang has a cousin who took him to the roller skating rink once.When he came back, Lin Xiaoguang pulled his neck and proudly told her, a child who had never seen the world, that the roller skating rink was twice as big as their school playground!And his cousin knows many kinds of roller skating!
Cheng Jun rolled his eyes at him at that time, and choked: "Then you will?"
"I won't, but let me tell you..." Lin Xiaoguang ignored her disdain and continued to chatter, as annoying as he wanted...
It would be great if my brother could rollerblade, but it doesn't matter if he can't, as long as he can come and see her, it would be great.Only half a month after school started, Cheng Jun was already full of anticipation, and his heart was surging.
Because he slept late, Cheng Jun sat in the classroom drowsy the next day, and was punished by the big-faced cat to stand at the back of the classroom by grabbing his ears.Then she started to worry, it must be a bit difficult for this virtue test to be ninety points, right?
Cheng Jun had been worrying all day, and sitting on the sofa at night copying his homework was particularly boring, and when he received a call from Lu Renzhou, he was also very listless.
"What's wrong?" Lu Renzhou heard the depression in her voice.
Cheng Jun told this person she trusted very much about all the worries she had been worrying about for a day.
Lu Renzhou asked on the phone: "Worried that I can't do it?"
"...It's totally impossible." Cheng Jun said discouragedly.
"Why can't it be done? Ninety points is not difficult." Lu Renzhou encouraged her calmly.
It's a pity that Cheng Jun didn't understand his intention, "You are an adult, of course you say that."
"This has nothing to do with whether you are an adult or not. Whether it is an adult or a child, there are tasks they should complete. Adults will also be required to achieve the [-]-point standard for adults, and some outstanding people even have to achieve full marks. . ” Talking to a precocious child is actually more troublesome sometimes. You have to treat her like an adult, but she is still a child.Lu Renzhou thought for a while, and explained seriously, "For example, your brother is in college, and there are exams, and some people will ask him to do better."
"But ninety percent is really too difficult for me."
"Since there are ninety and full marks, it means that someone can do it." Lu Renzhou challenged her, "Do you think you will be worse than others?"
"I'm no worse than others..."
"Isn't that all right?"
"From what you said, why is it so simple?" Cheng Jun doubted.She held the phone in one hand, supported her head in the other, and thought about his words seriously, "Then let me try it!"
Lu Renzhou praised her a few words, and Cheng Jun let go of his worries and was in a good mood. He immediately thought about his pigeons, "Then did you get [-] points in the pigeon race?"
He smiled on the other end of the phone, and he used it quite quickly. He continued to stimulate her lightly, "Not bad, it's a perfect score."
"Wow!" Cheng Jun couldn't help but danced again, and kept asking, "Why are your pigeons so good?"
Cheng Jun thought for a while, then lowered his voice and secretly told Lu Renzhou that in fact, when she came back from Jianglin at the end of last year, she secretly went to the vegetable market to buy a pigeon with money in her pocket.
It's a pity that this kind of pigeon sold in the market does not have the spirit of Lu Renzhou's family at all. Cheng Jun was afraid that it would fly away, so he tied a rope to its foot.But she really worried too much, the rope was just a decoration, and the pigeon squatted in the corner all night without moving its butt.At night, she squatted on the ground and teased the branch for a while, but it always seemed to be falling asleep with half-closed eyes.Cheng Jun suspected that it could not fly, so he untied the rope anxiously to try.
So, in less than 2 minutes, the pigeon seemed to wake up suddenly, opened its eyes, fluttered its wings and flew away without looking back.Cheng Jun hurriedly stood up and chased after it, but he still watched it helplessly, turned half a circle around the patio, and then flew away leisurely from above.
Because of the pigeon, she lost her breakfast money for two weeks.From now on, every time I pass by the street, whenever I see a burden of selling pigeons, I have to squat down and study for a long time.She just watched but didn't buy, and later the owner who sold the pigeons drove away as soon as she saw her.
"Half a month's breakfast money?" Lu Renzhou listened, grasping an important point.
"Yeah." Cheng Jun was silent for a while, and then he realized, "I won't be tricked, right?"
Lu Renzhou laughed, "All the pigeons sold in the market are edible pigeons, which are naturally different from racing pigeons. Don't spend this kind of money in the future."
"...But I really want to raise it."
Lu Renzhou smiled, and asked softly, "What's your usual grade?"
Cheng Jun was stunned for a moment, why did she come back to this sad topic, she replied with a guilty conscience: "...When it's good, it can reach seventy."
"If you can score [-]% on your own, next time I go to Zhangxiang, I will show you a real racing pigeon." Lu Renzhou coaxed like a wolf with a big tail, feeling that he had completely mastered the ability to communicate with children Skill.
"When?" Cheng Jun cheered up.
"Next month, on May Day."
"Wait, I'll go to the calendar." Cheng Jun felt that there were a lot of good things going on recently, and when she flipped through the calendar, her mood jumped all night again.
In May of this year, Lu Renzhou came to Zhangxiang with his racing pigeons as promised.Because Cheng Jun knew in advance that he was coming, he waited on the street early in the morning.
There is a vegetable market next to the street, and Cheng Jun is holding two [-]-point papers that are not too many and not enough, standing among the adults who come out early to buy vegetables in the morning, looking forward to it.
Lu Renzhou's car turned a corner, and Cheng Jun spotted him and his car at a glance while the car was passing by.
He actually drove a tool cart to go out, probably because he was afraid that the air would not circulate. The rear compartment was not covered, and dozens of cages of pigeons were screaming "cuckoo" in the back, which was too conspicuous!
Several aunts and grandmas who were shopping for vegetables also saw it, and they all stopped their actions.Cheng Jun guessed that they were probably thinking, should they buy two pigeons and stew them back?
The closer to the street, the more people got up, Lu Renzhou slowly slowed down the speed.
Lin Chengjun saw through the glass that he was wearing a pure white shirt, the sunlight was flickering on the glass, and he couldn't see his eyes clearly, only his sharp-edged face flickered behind the glass.
She grinned and ran towards the car.
Standing beside the car, Cheng Jun grew taller than half a year ago.She raised her head, raised the paper in her hand, and when she smiled, she showed her leaky teeth, which were more leaky than half a year ago.
Lu Renzhou lowered the window and pointed his head to the passenger seat to signal her to get in the car first.Cheng Jun climbed into the car, and Lu Renzhou immediately put it in gear and turned the car around.
"Hurry up, hurry up, those aunts are very excited to see the pigeon!" Cheng Jun laughed.
Lu Renzhou glanced at her, "Didn't you shout to buy pigeons while running?"
Cheng Jun laughed "hehehe", the weather in Zhangxiang in May has started to get hotter.The sunshine at eight or nine in the morning is a bit like early summer.Cheng Jun had been standing under the sun heartlessly, and when he saw him running all the way over again, small beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose, which was very funny.
Lu Renzhou glanced at her, took out a tissue and handed it to her, "Wipe off your sweat."
She took the tissue, wiped it carelessly, leaned back on the seat, looked at him with bright eyes, and fanned the paper in her hand triumphantly, "Do you want to confirm?"
Lu Renzhou held the steering wheel with one hand, and took the paper in her hand with the other.He parked the car on the side of the road with few people, and really seriously flipped through her two test papers, both of which were barely [-]%.
He lowered his head and pursed his lips slightly, and did not speak for a while, Cheng Jun couldn't help but also fell silent, and the car suddenly fell silent.
Waiting like this, Cheng Jun's heart suddenly became uncertain, and she pulled her face down, "You don't think I'm cheating, do you?"
Lu Renzhou lowered his head and didn't look at her, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "The ideal is to raise pigeons?"
It’s okay if I don’t talk about this, but when I talk about Chengjun, I’m even more annoyed, “Did you see the comments? Our teacher said I have no ambitions, and deducted ten points from me. Everyone else only deducted five points, which is too much!”
The compulsory exam questions for elementary school students have really disappeared for many years.
Lu Renzhou looked at her angry face and smiled, "What are other people's ideals? Scientists? Teachers?"
"There are also astronauts, doctors, and police officers." Cheng Jun added, "I don't even know what science is, but I want to be a scientist. Lin Xiaoguang is so funny, he dared to make fun of me!"
"There is a saying that people have their own aspirations." Lu Renzhou rubbed her head, "If you like to raise pigeons, then we will raise our pigeons and let them become scientists and doctors. There is no distinction between high and low ideals, and every line of work needs someone. do it."
"But the teacher deducted five more points from me!" Cheng Jun was indignant.
How to explain this?
Lu Renzhou was worried, "Grade is just a measure of your mastery of knowledge during this period of time, one grade cannot represent everything. And will the teacher deduct five points from you, will it affect your realization of your ideals? On the contrary, when you grow up, if If your dream is realized, you will get full marks, if not, then it doesn’t make much difference whether you get the five points now.” Explaining this way, it shouldn’t mislead children...
"You mean, if Lin Xiaoguang didn't become a scientist and I raised pigeons, then I would have won!"
Lu Renzhou coughed. It sounded right, but it didn't seem right. He thought it would be more reliable to discuss it when she was older, so he ended the topic hastily.
Cheng Jun was very satisfied with this conclusion, and let out a sigh of relief.
The sense of frustration in Lu Renzhou's heart welled up again, he shook his head with a smile, and started the car, "Did you tell your mother when you came out?"
Cheng Jun sneered, "She just fell asleep, should I go and beat her up?"
Just as Lu Renzhou was about to speak, she added: "Don't worry, I told her after I called you yesterday. Go, go, I can't wait!"
Cheng Jun patted his arm to urge her, and Lu Renzhou glanced at her, "Sit down and fasten your seat belt." Then he thought, there is a chance to buy a child safety seat.
Cheng Jun sat obediently for a while, then became restless again, twisted his body and looked back, "Will they be hot in the back? What should I do if I'm hungry? How about I go to the back and have a look?"
Lu Renzhou usually came out to train alone. Before he got his driver's license, the driver at home drove him out, and he was almost speechless all the way.Suddenly there was a noisy little girl chattering all the way, and it felt more lively than the pigeons behind the car.
He stretched out his right hand and turned the little girl's head, "There is a storybook in the drawer, it was given to you by your brother, you can take it out and have a look."
Cheng Jun stopped making a fuss, shouted, covered his mouth with his hands again, opened his eyes wide, the light in his eyes was shining, and he looked surprised.Lu Renzhou bent his eyes and tapped the drawer with his hand.
She took out the book and immediately unpacked it, flipping through it one by one. After a while, she said with a bitter face, "If I knew it, I shouldn't have told him that I like reading books..."
Having said that, she still sat there quietly, looking intently.
After a while, Lu Renzhou suddenly reached out and pressed her book. Cheng Jun was immersed in Thumbelina's adventure, and looked up at him in surprise.
"It's coming, we'll see when we get home." Lu Renzhou said casually, looking ahead.
"I'll finish reading this." Cheng Jun lowered his head again.
Lu Renzhou finally sighed helplessly, and took the book away from her hand, "Reading in the car is not good for your eyes, so go back and read it."
"...You let me see it just now."
"There is a notebook in the drawer, remember to take it with you when you get off the car." Lu Renzhou said.
The topic was easily changed, Cheng Jun held the black notebook that Lu Renzhou was talking about, and as soon as the car stopped, he couldn't wait to jump out.
The place Lu Renzhou chose was in an uninhabited small lawn, and Cheng Jun didn't often travel far, so it was the first time he found out that Zhang Xiang still had such a place, and found it quite novel.
The terrain around the lawn will be lower than where they are standing, and you can see Zhang Xiang’s small houses with regional characteristics, smart dovetail ridges, red bricks and tiles, like small red boxes.
Cheng Jun followed Lu Renzhou step by step, watching Lu Renzhou skillfully doing various preparations.
Lu Renzhou didn't explain the meaning and method of the training to her too much. He didn't like to talk when he was doing these things, and occasionally answered her questions with a low voice on purpose, in a cool and mellow manner.
Cheng Jun was already used to the quiet way of getting along with him in front of the pigeon's "coo-coo". He stopped his mumbling mouth and just opened his eyes to observe his movements curiously.
Lu Renzhou arranged the pigeon cages in four rows in order, his movements were neat and crisp, but when he landed on the pigeon cages, he seemed to become soft in an instant.When he turned his head, he saw Cheng Jun standing aside and staring at him stupidly, the interest in his eyes could not be concealed.
He smiled, took out the pen from his shirt pocket and handed it to Cheng Jun, and then called her over, "I'll let the pigeons out later, and you can count how many times they circled in the air before flying away, is that okay?"
Cheng Jun didn't react. Hearing his words, he raised his head and looked at him suspiciously, let out a blank "Ah?", then nodded quickly after understanding what he meant.
Lu Renzhou laughed, "What are you thinking about?" He handed her the unscrewed water in his hand, "Don't wander off when you are doing things."
"I know." Cheng Jun looked up at him and said, "Aren't you afraid of me making trouble?"
"Do you know?"
Cheng Jun chuckled and scratched his head, "Brother Lu, it would be great if you were my brother." After speaking, she shook her head hastily, "I'm not saying my brother is bad, but he seems to be busy all the time."
"Although your brother is busy, didn't he prepare a gift for you?" Lu Renzhou also stretched out his hand and scratched her head, "Let's start. The first feather, you will release it!"
Cheng Jun opened the cage carefully, and the first pigeon flew out.It flew over the heads of the two of them, and looked back at them with its clear peach eyes in the air. Lu Renzhou explained in a low voice: "It is judging the direction of the pigeon loft." The pigeon flew away without hesitation within a circle.
"That's how we can determine the way back to Jianglin?" Cheng Jun couldn't hide his surprise.
"Yeah." Seeing her exaggerated reaction, Lu Renzhou smiled again, "The most fascinating thing about a pigeon is that it can find its way home from a place it has never been before."
"Why?" Cheng Jun asked.
Following her example, Lu Renzhou tilted his head and thought for a while, then said distressedly, "Scientists don't know either."
"Wow——" children are always confused by such things, Lu Renzhou laughed lowly, and reminded her to release the second pigeon after she couldn't see the first pigeon.
That day, Lu Renzhou simply made Cheng Jun addicted. She released more than a dozen young pigeons one after another, and recorded a full page of flight records, which was much more serious and focused than doing homework.
On the way back to the city, Cheng Jun was still holding his notebook, happily counting his achievements today, and couldn't hold back his smile.Lu Renzhou turned to look at her, "Are you so happy?"
"Of course!" Cheng Jun nodded vigorously to show his heart, "Today is my happiest day!"
At noon, when he arrived at the door of Chengjun's house, Lu Renzhou received a report from Uncle Zhong, "Today's first pigeon has returned home."
Lu Renzhou got out of the car with her, and the neighbor's grandmother came out to dry clothes, and ran into Lu Renzhou again.Lu Renzhou nodded to her, "Hi, grandma!"
The last time Grandma saw Cheng Jun, she was still making troubles everywhere. Knowing that such a handsome young man as Lu Renzhou was not a human trafficker, she began to imagine other possibilities.She had been neighbors with Cheng Jun's family for nearly ten years. She had heard about her family, and seeing that Lu Renzhou was about the same age, she immediately guessed that this was Cheng Jun's brother.
Grandma smiled happily, "As a brother, it would be great to see Cheng Jun more often! Her mother goes out to play cards all day, and the little girl sleeps alone in such a big house at night, which is very dangerous!"
Cheng Jun hugged the newly acquired story book like a baby, and when he heard grandma talking about her, he didn't know if it was because of embarrassment or something else, his face was a little flushed, he shook his head and said anxiously: "Oh, grandma is really, don't talk about it Stop talking, I like to sleep alone!"
Seeing her running into the house, Lu Renzhou couldn't help but darken his eyes, the little girl must have felt embarrassed.
He greeted grandma, followed into the house, and saw a woman with loose hair coming out of a room.Cheng Jun handed her a rubber band and shouted, "Mom, that's Brother Lu."
Lu Renzhou greeted politely: "Auntie, hello! I'm Lu Renzhou."
Lin Aizhen tied her hair up casually, revealing the cinnabar between her eyebrows.Because the day and night were turned upside down all year round, her complexion was not good, probably because she had just woken up, and she was listless.She turned her head and glanced at Lu Renzhou lightly, "Sit."
Lu Renzhou couldn't remember if he had seen her when he was a child. It had been too long, and he was only as old as Cheng Jun at that time, so he didn't have any impression in his mind.But for some reason, that bit of cinnabar gave him a sense of familiarity for a certain moment.
After a long time, when everything was settled, he learned from his mother that he was very close to Lin Aizhen when he was young.Lin Aizhen prepared gifts for Ye Chengcheng, and there was always a gift for him.It's just that I was young at the time and didn't remember this person at all.
When Lu's father and Lu's mother were young, they didn't have a deep relationship for various reasons, and they often quarreled over trivial matters, making the whole family restless.
At this time, Lin Aizhen and Cheng Jun's father came forward to mediate together.When Lin Aizhen was young, she was not as mean as she is now. She would always hug the little Lu Renzhou and coax him softly, and she would not leave until he fell asleep.Lu Renzhou's gentle and elegant demeanor may have been present since he was a child.
Lu Renzhou often thought afterwards, where did his fateful pampering and pampering of Cheng Jun begin?But he met her, perhaps because he wanted to repay the kindest warmth he got from her mother when he was young with inextricable tenderness and strength.
It's just that at this time Lin Aizhen was no longer the aunt Mingming ten years ago, and she made no secret of her indifferent attitude towards Lu Renzhou, and he quickly got up to say goodbye.Before leaving, Lin Aizhen dismissed Cheng Jun with no expression on her face, "I heard that Lin Chengjun caused you a lot of trouble when he was in Jianglin, thank you for your hard work!"
Lu Renzhou smiled and said politely: "No, she is quite obedient."
Lin Aizhen probably heard someone praise Chengjun for being obedient for the first time, she snorted coldly, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "Growing up in a small family, she would treat any candy as a treasure, and I should give it to you recently." It caused a lot of trouble, and I will tell her not to pester you in the future."
Lu Renzhou didn't expect her to say these words, he was slightly taken aback, then his expression regained his clarity, he said goodbye politely, then turned and got into the car.
He started the car and turned around. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Cheng Jun running over from a distance, and the little girl in the rearview mirror kept waving at him.
The car quickly disappeared from sight, and Cheng Jun stood with his head down, kicking the stone with his toes.I just saw his car drive away from a distance, turned a corner and disappeared from the corner of the street. The sadness and reluctance that came from the bottom of my heart were so clear.
After May of this year, Cheng Jun hadn't seen Lu Renzhou again for nearly two years, and soon the school resumed classes.She sometimes called him and Ye Chengcheng, but most of the time, they had things to do.
A child’s memory is very strange. She will easily miss the decimal point behind the math answer, but she can remember many pictures that she finds interesting; she can’t always remember the sentences that are required to be recited in Chinese textbooks, and some people only have a few faces. It was etched into my mind just like that.
Even though she could hardly remember what he looked like, she still remembered that there was such a person who brought her the long-awaited warmth.
In another semester, she will graduate from elementary school, and she will still be that wild girl with her teeth and claws, and it has been more than a year since she last saw Lu Renzhou.
It's the twelfth lunar month again, and it's freezing cold, but children always have a way to think of ways to keep warm.When it was getting dark, Cheng Jun, Lin Xiaoguang and two other children picked up a lot of dry straw in the field, piled it high, and then lit a fire.
The flames jumped up and down, and the fire light illuminated the faces of a few mischievous ghosts. They ran around the fire excitedly, warm all over.Cheng Jun was tired from running, sat down on the ridge of the field, and called Lin Xiaoguang loudly: "Go back and steal some sweet potatoes, remember to ask for red ones!"
Hearing what she said, Lin Xiaoguang was hooked out immediately, and ran home in a hurry.Cheng Jun shouted from behind: "Come on, I'll beat you if the fire is too low!"
Lin Xiaoguang didn't come with sweet potatoes, but Lin Xiaoguang's father ran out with a broom in his hand, and shouted angrily, "You bastards!"
When the three children heard the sound, they scattered like birds and beasts, and Lin Xiaoguang's father beat him up, much harder than his mother.
"I've been stacking grass all day, and you unloaded it for me in a while!"
Cheng Jun picked up his flip-flops and ran forward like crazy. Lin Xiaoguang's father recognized her as the leader, and deliberately chased her alone.
She ran on a rampage, not paying attention to her feet at all, and accidentally stepped on the air.Cheng Jun couldn't scream in time, and in the next second, he fell heavily to the ground with a "bang".That was the most distinctive green brick road in the last era...
Clutching her chin, she got up in a jerk, screaming "Aww", and continued to run for her life with the wind blowing under her feet.
Just before taking two steps, Lin Xiaoguang's father grabbed him by the collar, "You son of a bitch—"
Lin Xiaoguang's father was stunned when he saw the blood on her skirt.
Cheng Jun took the opportunity to shake his hand, and continued to run away howling.Lin Xiaoguang's father yelled something loudly behind him, but Cheng Jun couldn't hear him at all.
While running, she put down her right hand that had been covering her chin, glanced at it, and immediately covered it tightly with both hands in fright.
This is how to do?Mom is definitely not at home at this time, even if she is at home, she dare not go back.Cheng Jun stomped in pain and ran wildly on the road, her pattering footsteps echoed in the alley.
She began to worry that she was going to die after shedding so much blood, right?
At this juncture of life and death, she didn't think about when her brother would come to see her, and she didn't covet Lu Renzhou's pigeons any more. She forgot about the fate of being lonely and dying, and the credibility of science and superstition. It's almost gone.
Cheng Jun felt that she was going to die of pain, but no one could save her.She didn't know what to worry about anymore, but the more she thought about it, the more desperate she became, and finally reached the end of her life, woo woo woo...
When the neighbor's grandmother came back from digging vegetables in the field, she saw Cheng Jun squatting on the side of the road in grief, with blood on his hands and blood on the ground.Her eyelids twitched in fright, and she ran over in small steps, grabbed her hand and checked, "What's wrong? Where did you hurt? Who beat you?"
Cheng Jun raised his head and cried out following Grandma's words: "What should I do? I'm about to die, I'm dizzy, oh—"
Grandma became even more anxious when she heard that, "Don't cry, I'll send someone to take you to the doctor right away."
"It's too late, the blood is going to run out—"
Grandma was so frightened that she cried and ran back to call his son, and the two of them took the little ancestor to the barefoot doctor in the town on a tricycle.
The old doctor was also startled when he saw it, and frowned and said, "This won't work, I need a few stitches."
Seeing him take out the needle, Cheng Jun was so frightened that his legs gave way. Grandma and son took the opportunity to hold her down, and clamped her feet between his legs.Grandma pressed her hand, and the barefoot doctor's wife also came over and hugged her struggling little head.
After only one stitch, Cheng Jun was about to cry and die. She struggled and choked up intermittently, saying, "Wow, bastard! Let, let me, just die!"
The old doctor was dazzled by her torment, sweating all over the winter, and warned her with a sullen face: "Don't move, the more you move, the more painful it will be!"
Cheng Jun listened to it, but the piercing pain of the needle and thread passing through the skin was too unbearable.
At such a moment, a pair of cool hands suddenly rested on her forehead, and someone bent down and softly comforted her: "Be patient, it will be fine soon!"
this sound?
The crying stopped abruptly, and Cheng Jun met a pair of dark and quiet eyes through the mist of tears, and the tears slid down more violently in an instant.
gone...
Cheng Jun was in a hurry, so he put up the strength he had just let go, and the people next to her followed her movement and pressed it down again.
"Don't move, don't move." Someone gently wiped her tears with fingertips, and then a pair of big hands took her place of grandma's tightly.
This sound!
Cheng Jun was stunned, and blinked a few times desperately, it was him.
Lu Renzhou came here with Lin Aizhen.The Pigeon Club held a "Bo Marathon" in Zhangxiang. After receiving the invitation, Lu Renzhou found that the venue was in a square not far from Cheng Jun's home.After he finished the matter, he remembered that every time the little girl called, she would ask him when he would come to Zhangxiang to train the pigeons.Thinking of this, the car drove towards her house involuntarily, and unexpectedly saw Lin Aizhen standing on the street to stop the car.
When Lin Aizhen saw him, she was still in a daze, but it was getting dark, she stopped several cars and refused to leave, so she finally got into his car.
As soon as Lu Renzhou entered the door, he saw Cheng Jun stretched out like a crayfish that was suddenly clamped down.His face was terribly pale, sweat was breaking out on his forehead, and his throat was already hoarse from crying.
Lin Aizhen followed behind Lu Renzhou, cursing sharply and viciously: "Unlucky guy, you cause trouble for me every day and make you restless, you should suffer more!"
Cheng Jun only stopped for a moment, and after he realized it, he struggled again quickly.Lu Renzhou stared at the movements of the old doctor's hands, and couldn't help frowning.At the end of the sewing, Cheng Jun was so angry that he couldn't even cry, and it took a long time before he let out a loud sob.The old doctor finally put away the thread and said "Okay", and her body softened immediately.
The old doctor let everyone disperse, laid her flat on the bench, fed some salt water, and it took her a while to recover.After waking up, the old doctor wanted to disinfect and bandage her, but she refused to say anything, and blood overflowed from the wound again during the movement.
Seeing this, Lin Aizhen screamed impatiently: "Let her make trouble, leave her alone! This kind of unlucky guy, if you don't let her suffer, she won't remember the pain! Don't you look at how many things people delay because of you!"
Lu Renzhou sat next to her, bowed his head and persuaded her in a gentle voice: "The wound will heal faster if it is bandaged, or the pain you just suffered just now will be in vain. Don't be afraid, it won't hurt so much in the future."
Cheng Jun didn't speak but still kept the old doctor away. Lu Renzhou took the iodine water from the old doctor's hand and did it himself.He squatted on the ground, his beautiful eyes focused only on her chin, avoiding the wound, and finally covered the gauze carefully.
Cheng Jun suddenly remembered the scene where he took care of the pigeons, he was gentle and patient without any anxiety.Her face is small, with a large white gauze on her chin, and tears on her face, which looks a little funny.Lu Renzhou smiled slightly and said softly, "Okay, doesn't it hurt?"
Lu Renzhou drove them home, Cheng Jun got into the car, and then slowly relaxed his vigilance, and fell asleep in the back seat after a while.Lin Aizhen was sitting next to her, watching her head dangling, and she had no desire to hold her head.Lu Renzhou held the steering wheel, glanced in the rearview mirror, and was speechless all the way.
When he got out of the car, he went to the back seat and picked up Chengjun himself.After the little girl fell asleep, she really couldn't be shaken. Lu Renzhou tucked up the quilt for her, and when she turned around, she saw Lin Aizhen sitting on the sofa chair in the living room.He walked out of the room and closed the door, and heard Lin Aizhen say: "Thank you for your hard work today!"
Lu Renzhou nodded slightly, but still said more: "Her wound is a bit big, it's best to take her to the hospital for a tetanus injection tomorrow."
Lin Aizhen smiled, picked up her bag and stood up, "She's not that expensive, you can go back!"
Cheng Jun was woken up by hunger, and his first reaction was to touch his chin, and then he frowned and bared his teeth.She got up to get dressed, and saw a bowl of oatmeal porridge on the bedside table. The porridge was covered with a film, and it was already cold.
Beside the porridge was a freshly opened bag of oatmeal with a piece of paper underneath.It was gray and she squinted her eyes.
If you are hungry, make some oatmeal by yourself, and call me on the phone if you need something.
——Lu Renzhou
Cheng Jun touched the uneven and strong handwriting on the back of the paper, and smiled with a breath.She hurried to the phone and dialed without looking at the time.Lu Renzhou was still washing up, when he heard the phone on the table ringing, he walked over while biting his toothbrush, looked at the caller ID, thought something was wrong, and immediately picked it up.
"Brother Lu, I thought it was a dream yesterday." Cheng Jun didn't dare to open his mouth too much, he could only move his lips stiffly, his voice sounded awkward like a mouthful of phlegm, "So it's really you! "
Lu Renzhou rinsed his mouth and smiled, "Are you awake? Does the wound hurt?"
"...I can't move anymore." Cheng Jun said with difficulty.
"Be careful of the wound when you wash your face, and don't touch the water." Lu Renzhou told her, "I ordered porridge for a few days, and someone will deliver it at meal time. Remember to wait at home. Be patient these few days, don't eat greasy food Something hot and sour."
Cheng Jun took a deep breath and muttered softly, "I think it's better not to eat for a few days."
"The wound will heal quickly if you get enough nutrition." Lu Renzhou went up to the roof and opened the pigeon loft, planning to start today's training. "Wait a minute, I'll come and see you."
(End of this chapter)
After Lu Renzhou left, Lin Aizhen woke up slowly from her sleep.When she woke up and saw Cheng Jun lying on the sofa watching cartoons, she immediately became furious, picked up a broom and chased the overlord for two blocks.
"Unlucky guy, stop!" Lin Aizhen chased after her and scolded, "I'm so ambitious, if you have the guts to run away from home, don't come back if you have the guts!"
Cheng Jun ran in the front and shouted: "You're beating someone, help—" After running for two streets, Lin Aizhen was thrown away.
Lin Aizhen stood on the street, panting, "Damn girl, I will break your leg sooner or later!"
Cheng Jun was often beaten by Lin Aizhen, but he was not often chased and beaten by her.Although Lin Aizhen has lived in the market for nearly ten years, she still has a little bottom line, unlike Lin Xiaoguang's mother, who has no scruples about splashing.
However, Cheng Jun really angered her this time.She completely gave up her image, stood there with her waist pinched and spit angrily, she was far from the Mrs. Ye family ten years ago.
Cheng Jun didn't know, after Lin Aizhen hung up the phone call from her in the morning, the old lady of the Ye family, her biological grandmother Yang Lanshu called in right after her, and asked Lin Aizhen in a cold tone: "What do you mean?"
"I think we reached a consensus ten years ago that she has nothing to do with the Ye family!" Yang Lanshu said coldly.
Lin Aizhen sneered, leaned on the sofa chair, and asked her in a leisurely tone: "Why are you so nervous?"
"Lin Aizhen, don't forget our agreement! If you still want to get alimony, don't let her appear in the Ye family again! I will do what I say!" The old lady of the Ye family yelled a long paragraph of warning, waiting Lin Aizhen snapped and hung up the phone.
What a bummer!Lin Aizhen dropped the phone, her chest heaving with anger.
Lin Chengjun has been beaten since she was a child, and the chapter of running away from home is just let her turn over casually. It is really a trivial matter in her unrestrained and trouble-free dominance career.Children always have no concept of time, and the days slip by Lin Chengjun's feet day by day.
She soon returned to her life in the small town and went to play cards with her mother. Lin Aizhen still lost her temper at her when she lost the game.Cheng Jun also turned his head and forgot about the pain as usual, and after a while he provoked her again.
Sometimes she would think of that morning in Jianglin, the scene of hundreds of pigeons cooing and flapping their wings soaring into the sky.
At her age, she has not yet formed a complete concept of beauty and ugliness.Especially Lu Renzhou, who is about to turn 19, is no different from an adult in her eyes.Children may still be able to make judgments about their peers, but they tend to lack attention and judgment for people who are not in the same age group.
Therefore, when she first met Lu Renzhou, it can be said that she was not impressed by the other party's beauty and demeanor at all. On the contrary, it was the scene in the morning light that impressed her even more.
She clearly remembered that Lu Renzhou was like a king returning from victory, standing in the cool winter morning breeze, directing the movements of the pigeons, clean, neat, beautiful and magical, she even suspected that he was a magician.
In a few days, this year's New Year's Eve came, and Cheng Jun grew another year.
Cheng Jun's New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at the poker table with Lin Aizhen and her poker friends.After eating, the adults quickly opened the table again. Many people outside the house were setting off firecrackers, and Cheng Jun wandered to Lin Xiaoguang's house alone.
The three of them were watching the Spring Festival Gala. Lin Xiaoguang hugged his stomach and fell on his mother, laughing.Lin Xiaoguang's parents were also having fun, and greeted her with a smile: "The devil is coming! Come in!"
Cheng Jun walked in, and just sat down on the small stool, Lin Xiaoguang took out 20 yuan from the pocket of the new clothes, and looked at her proudly, "Lin Chengjun, why haven't you changed your new clothes yet? Look, my dad and I The New Year's money given by my mother! Where's yours?"
Cheng Jun looked at the money in his hand and let out a "tch", "Isn't it going to be returned to your mother at dawn tomorrow?"
Lin Xiaoguang was originally in high spirits, but when she blocked him, he immediately lowered his face and gave her a white look.Lin Xiaoguang's mother ate the melon seeds and asked her, "Have you eaten yet? Your mother won't even cook New Year's Eve dinner, right?"
"Eat." Cheng Jun curled his lips and said, "I'm so stuffed."
"Ha ha."
Cheng Jun sat at Lin Xiaoguang's house for about ten minutes, and felt that their family was boring watching the Spring Festival Gala, so he wandered home alone.
After returning home, she collapsed on the bed, stared at the ceiling for a while, and picked up the little pig on the bed to play with.Lu Renzhou said that wearing this thing, the pigeon will make a nice sound when it flies.
After fiddling on the bed for a while, she suddenly remembered something, pulled up her shoes and ran to her mother's room, and dragged the sitting fan covered with cloth to the hall.
Plug in the electricity, press the button, and the winter wind will magnify the cold several times and then rush over.Cheng Jun shivered from the cold, but jumped up happily.She ran into her room, took out the little pig, and shook it back and forth against the fan.
She gritted her teeth and turned the wind to the maximum, and then heard the wind passing through the whistle, making a small, somewhat familiar sound.
This New Year's Eve, she was alone at home, running around in front of the fan happily, and the piglet made a "whoosh" sound, and she giggled excitedly.
The consequence of this madness was that the next day, Cheng Jun lay under the blanket, covering his nose and inhaling continuously.Jammed!
She habitually pushed the door of Lin Aizhen's room and came back.She was always afraid that one day Lin Aizhen would suddenly not come back, and there would be no one to beat her up.Of course, she only thinks about this kind of fear in her heart, and never tells people about it, because it will make people laugh out loud.
The neighbors outside the house were all walking around the streets to pay New Year's greetings. Cheng Jun came back after going out for a stroll, checked the time, and took out a neatly folded note from the drawer.There were two numbers on it, she thought about it, and dialed the bottom number.
The phone rang a few times and was connected, and the low voice rang in my ear, "Hello, who is it?"
"Brother Lu, happy new year!" Cheng Jun said loudly into the phone.
"Cheng Jun?" Lu Renzhou froze for a moment, then smiled and wished her a happy new year.
"Did you just feed the pigeons?"
Lu Renzhou smiled, "Yes, I just went downstairs."
"Oh, hehe." Cheng Jun was digging at the phone line, not thinking about what to say, and the phone fell silent.
"Have a cold? His voice is a little hoarse." Lu Renzhou asked, "Huh?"
"A little bit, mean."
Lu Renzhou hooked the corners of his lips, "Remember to drink plenty of water. Have you called your brother?"
Cheng Jun shook his head, "No."
"Why don't you fight?"
"I only have their home phone number, I don't want to call." Cheng Jun hesitated for a moment, and told the truth, "Can you tell him a happy new year for me? Also, by the way, when will he come?" Look at me?"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Renzhou sat on the sofa for a while, picked up the car keys and went home.He was riding a racing motorcycle today, and he returned to Lu's house in about half an hour.
As he expected, Ye Chengcheng came to Lu's house early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings.The two sat and chatted with their elders for a few words, and then Lu Liheng's old friends came to pay New Year's greetings one after another, so the two took the opportunity to hide on the second floor, drank a bottle of red wine from their collection, and had a good time.
After drinking for a while, Lu Renzhou conveyed Cheng Jun's original words to Ye Chengcheng.Ye Chengcheng was silent for a few seconds, shook the wine glass in his hand, and sighed, "Let's talk!"
Lu Renzhou leaned back on the balcony railing, remembering Cheng Jun's red eyes and unwillingness to shed tears at the door of Ye's house that night, and his slightly disappointed tone in the morning. Looking at Ye Chengcheng's attitude at this time, he couldn't help talking, "You Don’t you also believe in that set of things?”
Ye Chengcheng didn't realize the meaning of his words, he was stunned for a while, and then he looked embarrassed and said: "Believe it or not, it has been so many years, she is almost ten years old." He lowered his head and smiled, and said, "After I went to university last year, I went to find them behind my grandmother's back. I just said a few words to her, but I didn't expect that she would still remember me a year later."
"She looks small, but actually knows a lot of things." Lu Renzhou said.
Ye Chengcheng knew that Lu Renzhou had probably heard about these things a long time ago, so he simply didn't hide it, "Ask me if you believe it or not, but my grandma does. You also saw her hatred for Cheng Jun that day." He stood on the balcony, Looking into the distance, the voice is also a little light.
"She's just a child after all." That's not fair.Lu Renzhou disagreed, but it was inconvenient for him to judge the second half of the sentence.
Ye Chengcheng shook his head, "When my mother was pregnant with Chengjun, my grandma asked someone to do the math, saying that the fate was too hard, and it was my parents who insisted on giving birth to her."
Lu Renzhou took another sip of his wine, but didn't answer.
Ye Chengcheng smiled wryly, "I also think it's ridiculous. It's so old, I still believe this. But it's such a coincidence, my grandpa and father both had accidents on the day she was born, and my grandma will probably never let it go for the rest of her life."
Ten years ago, Lin Aizhen was pushed into the delivery room, and Ye Chengcheng's father and grandfather rushed to the hospital in different cars, and finally got into car accidents one after another.One passed away and the other was paraplegic.Outsiders can't empathize with the feeling of the sky falling overnight.In the past ten years, thanks to Yang Lanshu's tough tactics, the precarious Ye family was saved.
Ye Chengcheng has never disobeyed Yang Lanshu.
Lu Renzhou glanced at Ye Chengcheng, and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't talk about those who are celebrating Chinese New Year."
Ye Chengcheng drank a little more wine, his head was a little dizzy, and he couldn't help talking more.
"You think she's cute too, right? The first time I saw her, she was beating a little boy who was half a head taller than her on the ground. She looked like a doll, and she was unambiguous in the fight. Ye Chengcheng twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "My mother didn't really want to see me. The door didn't let me in. I stood at the door for a while and then left. You don't know, when I heard her call my brother, I felt very guilty." "
Ye Chengcheng's words reminded Lu Renzhou of his first meeting with Cheng Jun.She told him with some pride at the police station that she had beaten someone into the police station.He couldn't help but smile, a little girl is still proud of such a thing?
He shook his head, and then thought about it, fortunately it was a little girl, otherwise he didn't know how many troubles he would have caused.
It's a pity that Lu Renzhou found out later that the little girl's trouble caused people a headache, and it didn't make sense...
After all, Ye Chengcheng didn't come to visit her as Cheng Jun wished, and school started in a blink of an eye, and Cheng Jun didn't have the time to think about it.Because the night before school started, she suddenly found that her winter homework was still in the second unit that she had copied at the police station last time.
This fact was too cruel, so Lin Aizhen played cards at the poker table all night, and she wrote all night at home.
The next day, she still could not escape the fate of being fined to clean the toilet.And Lin Xiaoguang, who was behind her, was not much better than her. In the sarcasm of the homeroom teacher, Lin Xiaoguang's diary is a barometer, and it is still very accurate.
Therefore, for two consecutive weeks, she and Lin Xiaoguang's morning exercises ran counter to others.The two squatted alone in the men's and women's toilets, sadly surviving the drowsy morning amidst the strong smell.
Life is even more sad because of the start of school. Lin Chengjun is immersed in the shadow of this kind of corporal punishment and cannot extricate himself.
That night, while she was sitting on the sofa and signed Lin Aizhen's name in cursive script with self-pity, she took out her homework and decided to be a good person, when the phone at home suddenly rang.
It has been several years since this call was connected, and it has always only rang at noon, and it has always been the time when Lin Aizhen's poker friends are missing one out of three, urging Lin Aizhen to get up.Cheng Jun crawled over, picked it up suspiciously, and then called out in surprise: "Brother?"
Ye Chengcheng actually hesitated for a long time before calling her.He explained on the phone that there were a lot of courses in the university semester, and he didn't have time to see her for the time being, so he asked her to write down his mobile phone number and call him if there was anything to do.
Ye Chengcheng asked about her grades, school situation, and her hobbies.Cheng Jun's mind was spinning quickly, and he thought of many hobbies temporarily, such as reading books, such as practicing calligraphy, and the most real thing was the sentence "I have grown a pair of scud".
The two chatted for ten minutes. Before hanging up the phone, Ye Chengcheng promised that if she could score [-]% in both subjects in the final exam, he would take her to Jianglin during the summer vacation.
Cheng Jun was so excited because of this call that he didn't want to do his homework anymore.She was bouncing up and down in the hall by herself, she was so excited, she really wanted to tell everyone...
Thinking of this, she really raised her legs and ran out the door, but stopped after running a few steps. If she told Lin Xiaoguang about the loudspeaker, Lin Aizhen would definitely know it within half an hour. If she knew about it, she would definitely know it. To be beaten again.
Because, after she ran away from home last time, Lin Aizhen gave her a death order: Do not contact anyone in the Ye family.
Lin Aizhen said, if you don't listen to persuasion, don't blame her for being rude.When Lin Aizhen said these words, her tone was very calm, but Cheng Jun nodded tactfully and assured that she would never be stupid and step on a landmine.
Cheng Jun sighed deeply, and slowly moved back into the room.
But the excitement couldn't be calmed down for a long time. At such an exciting moment, how could I sleep tonight if I didn't spit it out quickly!
She suddenly thought of someone, and then rushed to the phone, dialed the phone dancing, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Lu!" Uncle Zhong told him that Lu Renzhou was going to participate in a [-]-kilometer designated pigeon race. Haven't come home yet.
Pigeon race?She really wants to participate, Cheng Jun thought to himself.Then I chatted with Uncle Zhong for a few words, but I always felt that the generation gap was too deep to talk about, so I hung up the phone wearily.
What a cavity of joy, there is no place to vent...
That night, she tossed and turned in bed, imagining many scenes of Ye Chengcheng taking her out to play.I wonder if he can rollerblade?Lin Xiaoguang has a cousin who took him to the roller skating rink once.When he came back, Lin Xiaoguang pulled his neck and proudly told her, a child who had never seen the world, that the roller skating rink was twice as big as their school playground!And his cousin knows many kinds of roller skating!
Cheng Jun rolled his eyes at him at that time, and choked: "Then you will?"
"I won't, but let me tell you..." Lin Xiaoguang ignored her disdain and continued to chatter, as annoying as he wanted...
It would be great if my brother could rollerblade, but it doesn't matter if he can't, as long as he can come and see her, it would be great.Only half a month after school started, Cheng Jun was already full of anticipation, and his heart was surging.
Because he slept late, Cheng Jun sat in the classroom drowsy the next day, and was punished by the big-faced cat to stand at the back of the classroom by grabbing his ears.Then she started to worry, it must be a bit difficult for this virtue test to be ninety points, right?
Cheng Jun had been worrying all day, and sitting on the sofa at night copying his homework was particularly boring, and when he received a call from Lu Renzhou, he was also very listless.
"What's wrong?" Lu Renzhou heard the depression in her voice.
Cheng Jun told this person she trusted very much about all the worries she had been worrying about for a day.
Lu Renzhou asked on the phone: "Worried that I can't do it?"
"...It's totally impossible." Cheng Jun said discouragedly.
"Why can't it be done? Ninety points is not difficult." Lu Renzhou encouraged her calmly.
It's a pity that Cheng Jun didn't understand his intention, "You are an adult, of course you say that."
"This has nothing to do with whether you are an adult or not. Whether it is an adult or a child, there are tasks they should complete. Adults will also be required to achieve the [-]-point standard for adults, and some outstanding people even have to achieve full marks. . ” Talking to a precocious child is actually more troublesome sometimes. You have to treat her like an adult, but she is still a child.Lu Renzhou thought for a while, and explained seriously, "For example, your brother is in college, and there are exams, and some people will ask him to do better."
"But ninety percent is really too difficult for me."
"Since there are ninety and full marks, it means that someone can do it." Lu Renzhou challenged her, "Do you think you will be worse than others?"
"I'm no worse than others..."
"Isn't that all right?"
"From what you said, why is it so simple?" Cheng Jun doubted.She held the phone in one hand, supported her head in the other, and thought about his words seriously, "Then let me try it!"
Lu Renzhou praised her a few words, and Cheng Jun let go of his worries and was in a good mood. He immediately thought about his pigeons, "Then did you get [-] points in the pigeon race?"
He smiled on the other end of the phone, and he used it quite quickly. He continued to stimulate her lightly, "Not bad, it's a perfect score."
"Wow!" Cheng Jun couldn't help but danced again, and kept asking, "Why are your pigeons so good?"
Cheng Jun thought for a while, then lowered his voice and secretly told Lu Renzhou that in fact, when she came back from Jianglin at the end of last year, she secretly went to the vegetable market to buy a pigeon with money in her pocket.
It's a pity that this kind of pigeon sold in the market does not have the spirit of Lu Renzhou's family at all. Cheng Jun was afraid that it would fly away, so he tied a rope to its foot.But she really worried too much, the rope was just a decoration, and the pigeon squatted in the corner all night without moving its butt.At night, she squatted on the ground and teased the branch for a while, but it always seemed to be falling asleep with half-closed eyes.Cheng Jun suspected that it could not fly, so he untied the rope anxiously to try.
So, in less than 2 minutes, the pigeon seemed to wake up suddenly, opened its eyes, fluttered its wings and flew away without looking back.Cheng Jun hurriedly stood up and chased after it, but he still watched it helplessly, turned half a circle around the patio, and then flew away leisurely from above.
Because of the pigeon, she lost her breakfast money for two weeks.From now on, every time I pass by the street, whenever I see a burden of selling pigeons, I have to squat down and study for a long time.She just watched but didn't buy, and later the owner who sold the pigeons drove away as soon as she saw her.
"Half a month's breakfast money?" Lu Renzhou listened, grasping an important point.
"Yeah." Cheng Jun was silent for a while, and then he realized, "I won't be tricked, right?"
Lu Renzhou laughed, "All the pigeons sold in the market are edible pigeons, which are naturally different from racing pigeons. Don't spend this kind of money in the future."
"...But I really want to raise it."
Lu Renzhou smiled, and asked softly, "What's your usual grade?"
Cheng Jun was stunned for a moment, why did she come back to this sad topic, she replied with a guilty conscience: "...When it's good, it can reach seventy."
"If you can score [-]% on your own, next time I go to Zhangxiang, I will show you a real racing pigeon." Lu Renzhou coaxed like a wolf with a big tail, feeling that he had completely mastered the ability to communicate with children Skill.
"When?" Cheng Jun cheered up.
"Next month, on May Day."
"Wait, I'll go to the calendar." Cheng Jun felt that there were a lot of good things going on recently, and when she flipped through the calendar, her mood jumped all night again.
In May of this year, Lu Renzhou came to Zhangxiang with his racing pigeons as promised.Because Cheng Jun knew in advance that he was coming, he waited on the street early in the morning.
There is a vegetable market next to the street, and Cheng Jun is holding two [-]-point papers that are not too many and not enough, standing among the adults who come out early to buy vegetables in the morning, looking forward to it.
Lu Renzhou's car turned a corner, and Cheng Jun spotted him and his car at a glance while the car was passing by.
He actually drove a tool cart to go out, probably because he was afraid that the air would not circulate. The rear compartment was not covered, and dozens of cages of pigeons were screaming "cuckoo" in the back, which was too conspicuous!
Several aunts and grandmas who were shopping for vegetables also saw it, and they all stopped their actions.Cheng Jun guessed that they were probably thinking, should they buy two pigeons and stew them back?
The closer to the street, the more people got up, Lu Renzhou slowly slowed down the speed.
Lin Chengjun saw through the glass that he was wearing a pure white shirt, the sunlight was flickering on the glass, and he couldn't see his eyes clearly, only his sharp-edged face flickered behind the glass.
She grinned and ran towards the car.
Standing beside the car, Cheng Jun grew taller than half a year ago.She raised her head, raised the paper in her hand, and when she smiled, she showed her leaky teeth, which were more leaky than half a year ago.
Lu Renzhou lowered the window and pointed his head to the passenger seat to signal her to get in the car first.Cheng Jun climbed into the car, and Lu Renzhou immediately put it in gear and turned the car around.
"Hurry up, hurry up, those aunts are very excited to see the pigeon!" Cheng Jun laughed.
Lu Renzhou glanced at her, "Didn't you shout to buy pigeons while running?"
Cheng Jun laughed "hehehe", the weather in Zhangxiang in May has started to get hotter.The sunshine at eight or nine in the morning is a bit like early summer.Cheng Jun had been standing under the sun heartlessly, and when he saw him running all the way over again, small beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose, which was very funny.
Lu Renzhou glanced at her, took out a tissue and handed it to her, "Wipe off your sweat."
She took the tissue, wiped it carelessly, leaned back on the seat, looked at him with bright eyes, and fanned the paper in her hand triumphantly, "Do you want to confirm?"
Lu Renzhou held the steering wheel with one hand, and took the paper in her hand with the other.He parked the car on the side of the road with few people, and really seriously flipped through her two test papers, both of which were barely [-]%.
He lowered his head and pursed his lips slightly, and did not speak for a while, Cheng Jun couldn't help but also fell silent, and the car suddenly fell silent.
Waiting like this, Cheng Jun's heart suddenly became uncertain, and she pulled her face down, "You don't think I'm cheating, do you?"
Lu Renzhou lowered his head and didn't look at her, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "The ideal is to raise pigeons?"
It’s okay if I don’t talk about this, but when I talk about Chengjun, I’m even more annoyed, “Did you see the comments? Our teacher said I have no ambitions, and deducted ten points from me. Everyone else only deducted five points, which is too much!”
The compulsory exam questions for elementary school students have really disappeared for many years.
Lu Renzhou looked at her angry face and smiled, "What are other people's ideals? Scientists? Teachers?"
"There are also astronauts, doctors, and police officers." Cheng Jun added, "I don't even know what science is, but I want to be a scientist. Lin Xiaoguang is so funny, he dared to make fun of me!"
"There is a saying that people have their own aspirations." Lu Renzhou rubbed her head, "If you like to raise pigeons, then we will raise our pigeons and let them become scientists and doctors. There is no distinction between high and low ideals, and every line of work needs someone. do it."
"But the teacher deducted five more points from me!" Cheng Jun was indignant.
How to explain this?
Lu Renzhou was worried, "Grade is just a measure of your mastery of knowledge during this period of time, one grade cannot represent everything. And will the teacher deduct five points from you, will it affect your realization of your ideals? On the contrary, when you grow up, if If your dream is realized, you will get full marks, if not, then it doesn’t make much difference whether you get the five points now.” Explaining this way, it shouldn’t mislead children...
"You mean, if Lin Xiaoguang didn't become a scientist and I raised pigeons, then I would have won!"
Lu Renzhou coughed. It sounded right, but it didn't seem right. He thought it would be more reliable to discuss it when she was older, so he ended the topic hastily.
Cheng Jun was very satisfied with this conclusion, and let out a sigh of relief.
The sense of frustration in Lu Renzhou's heart welled up again, he shook his head with a smile, and started the car, "Did you tell your mother when you came out?"
Cheng Jun sneered, "She just fell asleep, should I go and beat her up?"
Just as Lu Renzhou was about to speak, she added: "Don't worry, I told her after I called you yesterday. Go, go, I can't wait!"
Cheng Jun patted his arm to urge her, and Lu Renzhou glanced at her, "Sit down and fasten your seat belt." Then he thought, there is a chance to buy a child safety seat.
Cheng Jun sat obediently for a while, then became restless again, twisted his body and looked back, "Will they be hot in the back? What should I do if I'm hungry? How about I go to the back and have a look?"
Lu Renzhou usually came out to train alone. Before he got his driver's license, the driver at home drove him out, and he was almost speechless all the way.Suddenly there was a noisy little girl chattering all the way, and it felt more lively than the pigeons behind the car.
He stretched out his right hand and turned the little girl's head, "There is a storybook in the drawer, it was given to you by your brother, you can take it out and have a look."
Cheng Jun stopped making a fuss, shouted, covered his mouth with his hands again, opened his eyes wide, the light in his eyes was shining, and he looked surprised.Lu Renzhou bent his eyes and tapped the drawer with his hand.
She took out the book and immediately unpacked it, flipping through it one by one. After a while, she said with a bitter face, "If I knew it, I shouldn't have told him that I like reading books..."
Having said that, she still sat there quietly, looking intently.
After a while, Lu Renzhou suddenly reached out and pressed her book. Cheng Jun was immersed in Thumbelina's adventure, and looked up at him in surprise.
"It's coming, we'll see when we get home." Lu Renzhou said casually, looking ahead.
"I'll finish reading this." Cheng Jun lowered his head again.
Lu Renzhou finally sighed helplessly, and took the book away from her hand, "Reading in the car is not good for your eyes, so go back and read it."
"...You let me see it just now."
"There is a notebook in the drawer, remember to take it with you when you get off the car." Lu Renzhou said.
The topic was easily changed, Cheng Jun held the black notebook that Lu Renzhou was talking about, and as soon as the car stopped, he couldn't wait to jump out.
The place Lu Renzhou chose was in an uninhabited small lawn, and Cheng Jun didn't often travel far, so it was the first time he found out that Zhang Xiang still had such a place, and found it quite novel.
The terrain around the lawn will be lower than where they are standing, and you can see Zhang Xiang’s small houses with regional characteristics, smart dovetail ridges, red bricks and tiles, like small red boxes.
Cheng Jun followed Lu Renzhou step by step, watching Lu Renzhou skillfully doing various preparations.
Lu Renzhou didn't explain the meaning and method of the training to her too much. He didn't like to talk when he was doing these things, and occasionally answered her questions with a low voice on purpose, in a cool and mellow manner.
Cheng Jun was already used to the quiet way of getting along with him in front of the pigeon's "coo-coo". He stopped his mumbling mouth and just opened his eyes to observe his movements curiously.
Lu Renzhou arranged the pigeon cages in four rows in order, his movements were neat and crisp, but when he landed on the pigeon cages, he seemed to become soft in an instant.When he turned his head, he saw Cheng Jun standing aside and staring at him stupidly, the interest in his eyes could not be concealed.
He smiled, took out the pen from his shirt pocket and handed it to Cheng Jun, and then called her over, "I'll let the pigeons out later, and you can count how many times they circled in the air before flying away, is that okay?"
Cheng Jun didn't react. Hearing his words, he raised his head and looked at him suspiciously, let out a blank "Ah?", then nodded quickly after understanding what he meant.
Lu Renzhou laughed, "What are you thinking about?" He handed her the unscrewed water in his hand, "Don't wander off when you are doing things."
"I know." Cheng Jun looked up at him and said, "Aren't you afraid of me making trouble?"
"Do you know?"
Cheng Jun chuckled and scratched his head, "Brother Lu, it would be great if you were my brother." After speaking, she shook her head hastily, "I'm not saying my brother is bad, but he seems to be busy all the time."
"Although your brother is busy, didn't he prepare a gift for you?" Lu Renzhou also stretched out his hand and scratched her head, "Let's start. The first feather, you will release it!"
Cheng Jun opened the cage carefully, and the first pigeon flew out.It flew over the heads of the two of them, and looked back at them with its clear peach eyes in the air. Lu Renzhou explained in a low voice: "It is judging the direction of the pigeon loft." The pigeon flew away without hesitation within a circle.
"That's how we can determine the way back to Jianglin?" Cheng Jun couldn't hide his surprise.
"Yeah." Seeing her exaggerated reaction, Lu Renzhou smiled again, "The most fascinating thing about a pigeon is that it can find its way home from a place it has never been before."
"Why?" Cheng Jun asked.
Following her example, Lu Renzhou tilted his head and thought for a while, then said distressedly, "Scientists don't know either."
"Wow——" children are always confused by such things, Lu Renzhou laughed lowly, and reminded her to release the second pigeon after she couldn't see the first pigeon.
That day, Lu Renzhou simply made Cheng Jun addicted. She released more than a dozen young pigeons one after another, and recorded a full page of flight records, which was much more serious and focused than doing homework.
On the way back to the city, Cheng Jun was still holding his notebook, happily counting his achievements today, and couldn't hold back his smile.Lu Renzhou turned to look at her, "Are you so happy?"
"Of course!" Cheng Jun nodded vigorously to show his heart, "Today is my happiest day!"
At noon, when he arrived at the door of Chengjun's house, Lu Renzhou received a report from Uncle Zhong, "Today's first pigeon has returned home."
Lu Renzhou got out of the car with her, and the neighbor's grandmother came out to dry clothes, and ran into Lu Renzhou again.Lu Renzhou nodded to her, "Hi, grandma!"
The last time Grandma saw Cheng Jun, she was still making troubles everywhere. Knowing that such a handsome young man as Lu Renzhou was not a human trafficker, she began to imagine other possibilities.She had been neighbors with Cheng Jun's family for nearly ten years. She had heard about her family, and seeing that Lu Renzhou was about the same age, she immediately guessed that this was Cheng Jun's brother.
Grandma smiled happily, "As a brother, it would be great to see Cheng Jun more often! Her mother goes out to play cards all day, and the little girl sleeps alone in such a big house at night, which is very dangerous!"
Cheng Jun hugged the newly acquired story book like a baby, and when he heard grandma talking about her, he didn't know if it was because of embarrassment or something else, his face was a little flushed, he shook his head and said anxiously: "Oh, grandma is really, don't talk about it Stop talking, I like to sleep alone!"
Seeing her running into the house, Lu Renzhou couldn't help but darken his eyes, the little girl must have felt embarrassed.
He greeted grandma, followed into the house, and saw a woman with loose hair coming out of a room.Cheng Jun handed her a rubber band and shouted, "Mom, that's Brother Lu."
Lu Renzhou greeted politely: "Auntie, hello! I'm Lu Renzhou."
Lin Aizhen tied her hair up casually, revealing the cinnabar between her eyebrows.Because the day and night were turned upside down all year round, her complexion was not good, probably because she had just woken up, and she was listless.She turned her head and glanced at Lu Renzhou lightly, "Sit."
Lu Renzhou couldn't remember if he had seen her when he was a child. It had been too long, and he was only as old as Cheng Jun at that time, so he didn't have any impression in his mind.But for some reason, that bit of cinnabar gave him a sense of familiarity for a certain moment.
After a long time, when everything was settled, he learned from his mother that he was very close to Lin Aizhen when he was young.Lin Aizhen prepared gifts for Ye Chengcheng, and there was always a gift for him.It's just that I was young at the time and didn't remember this person at all.
When Lu's father and Lu's mother were young, they didn't have a deep relationship for various reasons, and they often quarreled over trivial matters, making the whole family restless.
At this time, Lin Aizhen and Cheng Jun's father came forward to mediate together.When Lin Aizhen was young, she was not as mean as she is now. She would always hug the little Lu Renzhou and coax him softly, and she would not leave until he fell asleep.Lu Renzhou's gentle and elegant demeanor may have been present since he was a child.
Lu Renzhou often thought afterwards, where did his fateful pampering and pampering of Cheng Jun begin?But he met her, perhaps because he wanted to repay the kindest warmth he got from her mother when he was young with inextricable tenderness and strength.
It's just that at this time Lin Aizhen was no longer the aunt Mingming ten years ago, and she made no secret of her indifferent attitude towards Lu Renzhou, and he quickly got up to say goodbye.Before leaving, Lin Aizhen dismissed Cheng Jun with no expression on her face, "I heard that Lin Chengjun caused you a lot of trouble when he was in Jianglin, thank you for your hard work!"
Lu Renzhou smiled and said politely: "No, she is quite obedient."
Lin Aizhen probably heard someone praise Chengjun for being obedient for the first time, she snorted coldly, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "Growing up in a small family, she would treat any candy as a treasure, and I should give it to you recently." It caused a lot of trouble, and I will tell her not to pester you in the future."
Lu Renzhou didn't expect her to say these words, he was slightly taken aback, then his expression regained his clarity, he said goodbye politely, then turned and got into the car.
He started the car and turned around. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Cheng Jun running over from a distance, and the little girl in the rearview mirror kept waving at him.
The car quickly disappeared from sight, and Cheng Jun stood with his head down, kicking the stone with his toes.I just saw his car drive away from a distance, turned a corner and disappeared from the corner of the street. The sadness and reluctance that came from the bottom of my heart were so clear.
After May of this year, Cheng Jun hadn't seen Lu Renzhou again for nearly two years, and soon the school resumed classes.She sometimes called him and Ye Chengcheng, but most of the time, they had things to do.
A child’s memory is very strange. She will easily miss the decimal point behind the math answer, but she can remember many pictures that she finds interesting; she can’t always remember the sentences that are required to be recited in Chinese textbooks, and some people only have a few faces. It was etched into my mind just like that.
Even though she could hardly remember what he looked like, she still remembered that there was such a person who brought her the long-awaited warmth.
In another semester, she will graduate from elementary school, and she will still be that wild girl with her teeth and claws, and it has been more than a year since she last saw Lu Renzhou.
It's the twelfth lunar month again, and it's freezing cold, but children always have a way to think of ways to keep warm.When it was getting dark, Cheng Jun, Lin Xiaoguang and two other children picked up a lot of dry straw in the field, piled it high, and then lit a fire.
The flames jumped up and down, and the fire light illuminated the faces of a few mischievous ghosts. They ran around the fire excitedly, warm all over.Cheng Jun was tired from running, sat down on the ridge of the field, and called Lin Xiaoguang loudly: "Go back and steal some sweet potatoes, remember to ask for red ones!"
Hearing what she said, Lin Xiaoguang was hooked out immediately, and ran home in a hurry.Cheng Jun shouted from behind: "Come on, I'll beat you if the fire is too low!"
Lin Xiaoguang didn't come with sweet potatoes, but Lin Xiaoguang's father ran out with a broom in his hand, and shouted angrily, "You bastards!"
When the three children heard the sound, they scattered like birds and beasts, and Lin Xiaoguang's father beat him up, much harder than his mother.
"I've been stacking grass all day, and you unloaded it for me in a while!"
Cheng Jun picked up his flip-flops and ran forward like crazy. Lin Xiaoguang's father recognized her as the leader, and deliberately chased her alone.
She ran on a rampage, not paying attention to her feet at all, and accidentally stepped on the air.Cheng Jun couldn't scream in time, and in the next second, he fell heavily to the ground with a "bang".That was the most distinctive green brick road in the last era...
Clutching her chin, she got up in a jerk, screaming "Aww", and continued to run for her life with the wind blowing under her feet.
Just before taking two steps, Lin Xiaoguang's father grabbed him by the collar, "You son of a bitch—"
Lin Xiaoguang's father was stunned when he saw the blood on her skirt.
Cheng Jun took the opportunity to shake his hand, and continued to run away howling.Lin Xiaoguang's father yelled something loudly behind him, but Cheng Jun couldn't hear him at all.
While running, she put down her right hand that had been covering her chin, glanced at it, and immediately covered it tightly with both hands in fright.
This is how to do?Mom is definitely not at home at this time, even if she is at home, she dare not go back.Cheng Jun stomped in pain and ran wildly on the road, her pattering footsteps echoed in the alley.
She began to worry that she was going to die after shedding so much blood, right?
At this juncture of life and death, she didn't think about when her brother would come to see her, and she didn't covet Lu Renzhou's pigeons any more. She forgot about the fate of being lonely and dying, and the credibility of science and superstition. It's almost gone.
Cheng Jun felt that she was going to die of pain, but no one could save her.She didn't know what to worry about anymore, but the more she thought about it, the more desperate she became, and finally reached the end of her life, woo woo woo...
When the neighbor's grandmother came back from digging vegetables in the field, she saw Cheng Jun squatting on the side of the road in grief, with blood on his hands and blood on the ground.Her eyelids twitched in fright, and she ran over in small steps, grabbed her hand and checked, "What's wrong? Where did you hurt? Who beat you?"
Cheng Jun raised his head and cried out following Grandma's words: "What should I do? I'm about to die, I'm dizzy, oh—"
Grandma became even more anxious when she heard that, "Don't cry, I'll send someone to take you to the doctor right away."
"It's too late, the blood is going to run out—"
Grandma was so frightened that she cried and ran back to call his son, and the two of them took the little ancestor to the barefoot doctor in the town on a tricycle.
The old doctor was also startled when he saw it, and frowned and said, "This won't work, I need a few stitches."
Seeing him take out the needle, Cheng Jun was so frightened that his legs gave way. Grandma and son took the opportunity to hold her down, and clamped her feet between his legs.Grandma pressed her hand, and the barefoot doctor's wife also came over and hugged her struggling little head.
After only one stitch, Cheng Jun was about to cry and die. She struggled and choked up intermittently, saying, "Wow, bastard! Let, let me, just die!"
The old doctor was dazzled by her torment, sweating all over the winter, and warned her with a sullen face: "Don't move, the more you move, the more painful it will be!"
Cheng Jun listened to it, but the piercing pain of the needle and thread passing through the skin was too unbearable.
At such a moment, a pair of cool hands suddenly rested on her forehead, and someone bent down and softly comforted her: "Be patient, it will be fine soon!"
this sound?
The crying stopped abruptly, and Cheng Jun met a pair of dark and quiet eyes through the mist of tears, and the tears slid down more violently in an instant.
gone...
Cheng Jun was in a hurry, so he put up the strength he had just let go, and the people next to her followed her movement and pressed it down again.
"Don't move, don't move." Someone gently wiped her tears with fingertips, and then a pair of big hands took her place of grandma's tightly.
This sound!
Cheng Jun was stunned, and blinked a few times desperately, it was him.
Lu Renzhou came here with Lin Aizhen.The Pigeon Club held a "Bo Marathon" in Zhangxiang. After receiving the invitation, Lu Renzhou found that the venue was in a square not far from Cheng Jun's home.After he finished the matter, he remembered that every time the little girl called, she would ask him when he would come to Zhangxiang to train the pigeons.Thinking of this, the car drove towards her house involuntarily, and unexpectedly saw Lin Aizhen standing on the street to stop the car.
When Lin Aizhen saw him, she was still in a daze, but it was getting dark, she stopped several cars and refused to leave, so she finally got into his car.
As soon as Lu Renzhou entered the door, he saw Cheng Jun stretched out like a crayfish that was suddenly clamped down.His face was terribly pale, sweat was breaking out on his forehead, and his throat was already hoarse from crying.
Lin Aizhen followed behind Lu Renzhou, cursing sharply and viciously: "Unlucky guy, you cause trouble for me every day and make you restless, you should suffer more!"
Cheng Jun only stopped for a moment, and after he realized it, he struggled again quickly.Lu Renzhou stared at the movements of the old doctor's hands, and couldn't help frowning.At the end of the sewing, Cheng Jun was so angry that he couldn't even cry, and it took a long time before he let out a loud sob.The old doctor finally put away the thread and said "Okay", and her body softened immediately.
The old doctor let everyone disperse, laid her flat on the bench, fed some salt water, and it took her a while to recover.After waking up, the old doctor wanted to disinfect and bandage her, but she refused to say anything, and blood overflowed from the wound again during the movement.
Seeing this, Lin Aizhen screamed impatiently: "Let her make trouble, leave her alone! This kind of unlucky guy, if you don't let her suffer, she won't remember the pain! Don't you look at how many things people delay because of you!"
Lu Renzhou sat next to her, bowed his head and persuaded her in a gentle voice: "The wound will heal faster if it is bandaged, or the pain you just suffered just now will be in vain. Don't be afraid, it won't hurt so much in the future."
Cheng Jun didn't speak but still kept the old doctor away. Lu Renzhou took the iodine water from the old doctor's hand and did it himself.He squatted on the ground, his beautiful eyes focused only on her chin, avoiding the wound, and finally covered the gauze carefully.
Cheng Jun suddenly remembered the scene where he took care of the pigeons, he was gentle and patient without any anxiety.Her face is small, with a large white gauze on her chin, and tears on her face, which looks a little funny.Lu Renzhou smiled slightly and said softly, "Okay, doesn't it hurt?"
Lu Renzhou drove them home, Cheng Jun got into the car, and then slowly relaxed his vigilance, and fell asleep in the back seat after a while.Lin Aizhen was sitting next to her, watching her head dangling, and she had no desire to hold her head.Lu Renzhou held the steering wheel, glanced in the rearview mirror, and was speechless all the way.
When he got out of the car, he went to the back seat and picked up Chengjun himself.After the little girl fell asleep, she really couldn't be shaken. Lu Renzhou tucked up the quilt for her, and when she turned around, she saw Lin Aizhen sitting on the sofa chair in the living room.He walked out of the room and closed the door, and heard Lin Aizhen say: "Thank you for your hard work today!"
Lu Renzhou nodded slightly, but still said more: "Her wound is a bit big, it's best to take her to the hospital for a tetanus injection tomorrow."
Lin Aizhen smiled, picked up her bag and stood up, "She's not that expensive, you can go back!"
Cheng Jun was woken up by hunger, and his first reaction was to touch his chin, and then he frowned and bared his teeth.She got up to get dressed, and saw a bowl of oatmeal porridge on the bedside table. The porridge was covered with a film, and it was already cold.
Beside the porridge was a freshly opened bag of oatmeal with a piece of paper underneath.It was gray and she squinted her eyes.
If you are hungry, make some oatmeal by yourself, and call me on the phone if you need something.
——Lu Renzhou
Cheng Jun touched the uneven and strong handwriting on the back of the paper, and smiled with a breath.She hurried to the phone and dialed without looking at the time.Lu Renzhou was still washing up, when he heard the phone on the table ringing, he walked over while biting his toothbrush, looked at the caller ID, thought something was wrong, and immediately picked it up.
"Brother Lu, I thought it was a dream yesterday." Cheng Jun didn't dare to open his mouth too much, he could only move his lips stiffly, his voice sounded awkward like a mouthful of phlegm, "So it's really you! "
Lu Renzhou rinsed his mouth and smiled, "Are you awake? Does the wound hurt?"
"...I can't move anymore." Cheng Jun said with difficulty.
"Be careful of the wound when you wash your face, and don't touch the water." Lu Renzhou told her, "I ordered porridge for a few days, and someone will deliver it at meal time. Remember to wait at home. Be patient these few days, don't eat greasy food Something hot and sour."
Cheng Jun took a deep breath and muttered softly, "I think it's better not to eat for a few days."
"The wound will heal quickly if you get enough nutrition." Lu Renzhou went up to the roof and opened the pigeon loft, planning to start today's training. "Wait a minute, I'll come and see you."
