Arbor dye Acacia

Chapter 31

With the advent of summer, the sun became stronger day by day, but the originally quiet compound became quieter and quieter.The noisy basketball court in the past often became empty, and the nanny of Tong's family even walked lightly.

Why is this?Because the compound ushered in the college entrance examination season.Tong Yibo from Tong's family, Xiao Yichen from Xiao's family, Jiang Yingxiu from Jiang's family, the most vigorous little ancestors in these compound are about to take the college entrance examination.

Of course, the children in the compound don’t have many choices when facing the college entrance examination. There are only a few universities that they can choose from. Engineering University, Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force Engineering University, Chinese People's Liberation Army Information Engineering University, Chinese People's Liberation Army University of Science and Technology.There will always be a place where they will go in the future, because this is their mission and responsibility.

After that, it was even difficult for Tong Ali to see Tong Yibo and Tong Qingyuan in the dining room on the first floor, and the Tong family fell into a kind of dead silence, except for the cicadas among the lush trees in the courtyard.

Tong Ali's room is the third from the left of the corner on the second floor of Tong's villa. There is a circular bay window in her room.Often at sunset, Ali likes to hug a pillow and nestle on the bay window to watch the sunset outside, to see the dazzling bright red, sky blue, and light gray.Even if this kind of beautiful scenery shows the setting sun and the western mountains, God can blend them together at will. At first glance, it looks like a gorgeous oil painting that only top painters can draw.

When Tong Ali was at Tong's house, she would go to the bay window, and often she would not get down from the bay window until it was completely dark.And at this time, she could see the window facing her in the small building opposite, which was closed all year round, and the silver-gray curtains blocked everything in the house.Until one day, she suddenly saw a dim yellow light shining through the window at the other end, and an inexplicably familiar tall and straight figure flashed by the window.She asked again and later realized that Qiao's house was on the right side of Tong's villa, which was Qiao's house, and what she happened to be able to see was Qiao Yiliang's room.

It's really destined, isn't it?

Regarding everything in the compound, Tong Ali knew half of it from Zhu Xiaobei.Zhu Xiaobei, like Tong Ali, is an outlier in the compound.To put it bluntly, they are all children born to Xiao San.

But if you really want to compare, Zhu Xiaobei is worse than Tong Ali.Tong Ali's mother, Fang Yue, at least left her land and money. These days, if she has money, she will have confidence, so she won't live on the streets.But Zhu Xiaobei is not, Zhu Xiaobei is the illegitimate son of the Zhu family, his mother is a Tibetan singer from Beipiao, Zhu Xiaobei's mother fell in love with his father when he was singing, and his father was immediately shocked, So, after the Overlord's tenderness and sweetness, there was Zhu Xiaobei.

But after having Zhu Xiaobei, Zhu Xiaobei's father was surprised by another woman.So, it was the same old trick of not going to the old and not getting the new. Zhu Xiaobei's father crossed the river and demolished the bridge.After tossing left and right, in the end, Zhu Xiaobei's mother suffered from postpartum depression and jumped off the building to die, and Zhu Xiaobei, who was in her infancy, was taken back by Zhu's family.

Tong Ali would always ask Zhu Xiaobei about Qiao Yiliang, and Zhu Xiaobei knew everything, but he would remind her vigilantly, "Ari, don't think about him. The Qiao family is too expensive now, and Qiao Yiliang is too expensive for anyone. As long as he doesn't want to pay attention to him, he won't say a word if he breaks his spine. He is really an iceberg, otherwise his family People don't give him this nickname. He helped you once, he was humble and general, but don't take it seriously. People like them treat you well when they are happy, but they don't care when they turn their faces. Now I know who you are. If you are really moved, you will be the one who suffers in the end..."

When he said this, Zhu Xiaobei was really worried about Tong Ali, a newcomer.Zhu Xiaobei cherishes Tong Ali as a friend, as a kindred spirit.He was used to being bullied since he was a child, and he had seen too many dirty things in the yard, which scared him out of courage.He really didn't want Tong Ali to get into trouble and encounter those bad things.

Zhu Xiaobei is quite tall, but his body is too thin, which makes his head very big.Such proportions are uncoordinated, and it always makes others feel weird when they see him, not ugly, but not good-looking at all.

Zhu Xiaobei's mother is really a beauty.Tong Ali has seen beauties before, but when she saw the photo of Zhu Xiaobei's mother, she was still stunned, and after a while she sighed and said slowly: "This is a real beauty! There is a Buddha nature in her bones." What!" But she sighed again, with a slightly joking tone: "You are not a genetic mutation, are you?"

Zhu Xiaobei was also foolish, touched his head, and replied, "Hey! Maybe it's true!"

So, the two of them looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.Tong Ali pushed her elbow with a smile, stared at him for a while and said: "You have to get fatter, and the proportions are coordinated to look good."

Zhu Xiaobei's father is now the deputy commander of the B military region.In Zhu's family, he has three older brothers and two older sisters.These five people are all older than him, and now they are all mixed together in their respective positions.But even so, the people of Zhu's family didn't usually treat Zhu Xiaobei well because of his young age.

Think about it, Zhu Xiaobei entered Zhu's house as soon as he landed, but Zhu's family didn't want to see him, and it was even less likely for outsiders to see him, and he was even more unaccepted by these wolf cubs of the Northern Department.Maybe it's because he's used to being bullied, Zhu Xiaobei is very timid, he shrinks when things happen, and it's his temperament to be willing to be a doormat and turn big things into small things.For this reason, Tong Ali was dragged back a lot and complained a lot.

Li Shangyin wrote in a poem: "It's hard to be full at first, but it's futile to hate the sound of waste. At five o'clock, the tree is ruthless. The stalks of the eunuch are still rampant, and the old garden has been flattened. The troubled king is the most vigilant, and I also clean up my family." It can be seen that cicadas are annoying when they cry!
Maybe it's raining a lot this year, and the weather is getting hotter.The cicadas were singing in the yard, but they were in groups.Unknowingly, the humming of cicadas in the compound has become so loud that it makes people panic.

At this time, whoever stands under the tree for a short while will be restless and even tinnitused by the sound of cicadas.So I don't know if the noise made any master in the courtyard unbearable.One day, just a few people came to the compound. They took noise detectors around the residents and took a drastic test. The test results were also shocking.

It is said that the sound of cicadas in the compound can reach a maximum of 93 decibels.Ever since, the staff who were in a hurry quickly started the operation to kill the cicadas.

Tong Ali and Zhu Xiaobei are both sophomores in high school. They don't take the college entrance examination, and no one cares about them.Seeing these people climbing trees, the sprayers sat on the steps and watched.

Tong Ali looked at it and suddenly felt a little regretful. She smashed her mouth and said leisurely: "It's a waste, this stuff is delicious when fried..."

Hearing this, Zhu Xiaobei turned his head to look at Tong Ali contemptuously. Seeing her indifferent and beautiful expression, he lowered his head and touched his nose, not daring to choke her. He choked for a long time before he couldn't help but sigh: "In four years of darkness Toil of the Cicada, a month of pleasure in the sun, such is the life of the Cicada. We should not dislike his tumultuous song, for for four years he has dug the earth, and now he is able to wear fine clothes and grow wings to rival the birds. , bathed in the warm sunshine." Then, he raised his face again, looked at the blue sky, and said somewhat sadly: "The adult life cycle of cicadas is very short, and the male cicadas die after mating."

"French entomologist Fabre's "Cicada"?" Tong Ali slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and in Zhu Xiaobei's excited eyes as if he had found a confidant, he glanced at him lightly, raised his eyebrows and asked: "What are you feeling? Feeling them Why not keep those little lives alive for a few more days? Also, if I had known that the sound of cicadas would be so annoying, I should have turned the soil under the roots of the tree before the cicadas were born, so that the larvae of the cicadas would not survive. If you deal with the matter from the beginning, won't you be able to quiet your ears? Now that you know it later, don't you deserve to be screamed to death?"

Tong Ali meant something, these uncles in the yard looked down on their illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters so much, why did they go so early?What do you do when you can strangle it into the soil?The troublemaker doesn't take responsibility, but says it's the trouble's fault.Isn't it ironic?

Sure enough, when he realized it, Zhu Xiaobei's expression was full of helplessness, his eyes were very beautiful, but because he was too thin, those big and beautiful eyes seemed abrupt.

Tong Ari's non-cool words made Zhu Xiaobei a little frustrated. He seemed to think about it seriously, turned his head, hooked his fingers, and asked nervously: "Ari, don't you think we are like these cicadas? We His birth was not glorious enough, and he will live in darkness all his life because of it.”

What the hell theory? !Tong Ali glanced at Zhu Xiaobei quickly, and almost snorted, "That's you, not me."

"Why?" Zhu Xiaobei was taken aback, as if he had been frozen.

"If you think like this, you will naturally be. But I never think of myself this way, so I am not." Tong Ali stood up, patted the ashes on his pants gracefully, shrugged, and turned his head to beckon to Zhu Xiaobei He waved and left.

She is a little angry, what a shit theory!
Speaking of which, Zhu Xiaobei is really a weird person, or rather, he is a weird talent.Maybe it's because I was repressed and had no friends since I was a child.Zhu Xiaobei loves painting very much, he can draw pictures that are so beautiful as to die for.But when he paints, he always likes to hide from people. You never know where he will hide in the compound when he becomes addicted to painting.

When it’s time to paint, he might hold a painting book and sit in a corner full of creepers, he might nest beside someone’s flower garden, or he might lie down by Yijian Lake and watch the fish in the water.And because of this, his temper will become quite violent, and he will turn against anyone who quarrels with him.But the next moment, Zhu Xiaobei, who immediately woke up, would immediately turn back into a "vulnerable group".

Tong Ali thinks that he lacks compassion and has a cold nature.But she still likes this silly Zhu Xiaobei.This Zhu Xiaobei, because he passed by Tong Ali's class and saw her sleeping on the table in class, he would take the initiative to send her dense class notes.Tong Ali would say in a text message: "I'm bothering you." He would ask seriously: "Where are you? I'll go over to accompany you now." The young masters and ladies who would be in the courtyard would find the two of them together and despise him. When they were eager to try, they were trembling but trying to straighten their spines and stand in front of her, trying to protect her.

Therefore, when Zhu Xiaobei, who was watching fish by the lake, was kicked into Yijian Lake by Pan Shiyu as if playing a prank, Tong Ali also stretched out her foot without hesitation. Xiao, Fang Wu reacted quickly, pulling away Pan Shiyu who was supposed to be kicked into the water, but Fang Wu fell down by herself.

This kick also frightened Tong Qingyuan and Pan Shiyu into fools. Fang Wu didn't recover for a while, and at first she also jumped a few times in the water.Pan Shiyu stamped her feet and cried, seeing Tong Ali wanting to scold but not daring to scold, it's not like she hasn't tasted Tong Ali's ruthlessness before.Tong Qingyuan still had a brain, and immediately reacted and shouted: "Help! Help!"

And at this time, Zhu Xiaobei, who had been kicked to learn how to swim since he was a child, had already swam ashore by himself.

Tong Ali saw it and smiled, stood on the bank and reached out to him to pull him, patted his face with interest and said, "How is it, is it cool?"

Zhu Xiaobei had a bitter face, his big eyes were wrinkled, he climbed up with all his strength, pulled Tong Ali and said with a mournful face: "Oh! Why are you kicking Fang Wu? You hurry up! You Hurry up! It's over when Fang Mo comes!"

"What's the end? She's sweating profusely like that. I kindly let her swim to relieve the heat. It's good not to let her say thank you." Tong Ali chuckled, and she was also very smart. She had seen Fang Wu swim. Yes, after noticing that Fang Wu had recovered from the water, Tong Ali dragged Zhu Xiaobei away.

But Zhu Xiaobei was frightened half to death, and saw an armed policeman jump down to save the dance.As soon as he closed his eyes, he dragged Tong Ali away without saying a word.Tong Ali originally wanted to call for a stop, and wanted to remind Zhu Xiaobei that they could run away but monks could not run away from the temple.But seeing Zhu Xiaobei acting so seriously in the escape scene, she wanted to laugh a little bit, she swallowed the words, but her eyes were full of a rare and gentle smile.
