I'm waiting for you in my memory

Chapter 13 Youth Begins Because I Met You (1)
Situ Jue has read a lot of time-travel novels. In the novels, it is hard to tell whether it is unlucky or lucky.She likes stories with such bridges very much, just as she loves to go back to her residence after working in the laboratory, mix the strongest brandy with dark beer, and drink while leaning on the sofa to watch soap operas—of course, to accompany her Yes, and little pills to help you sleep.

In Situ Jue's view, those unbelievably exaggerated plots were not written to make people believe. The only meaning of their existence is to add a bit of fanciful color for self-entertainment to a sufficiently bleak reality.

However, Situ Jue is not interested in falling back to a certain dynasty. She loves modern civilization so much that she feels unable to live when the electricity is cut off.When she was a girl, she often thought that if a person could really travel through time and space, she only hoped to sneak into the future to see whose hand she would hold when she became an adult.Later, this fantasy was also shattered, because in the darkest days of her life, she closed her eyes, hoping that she could skip that period of time and avoid sadness.However, every time she woke up, opened her eyes, it was dawn, and everything was still the same, and she never escaped from what she had to face.If there really is a god who rules time, space and destiny in the dark, then this god turned a deaf ear to even the pious prayers of a girl back then, which shows that she really doesn't have that kind of fate.So she turned to think that if she couldn't go to the future, it would be good to go back to the past.

If she could go back in time, what would she do?

Maybe she should really go back to the past and tell Situ Jue, who gritted his teeth desperately and still tasted the salty tears: remember, he will have this day too.

Perhaps she should also be with Situ Jue on the day she left home, so that she would not look so dazed and lonely standing alone in the huge airport with her luggage.When Situ Jue at that time gently threw the mobile phone into the trash can in the waiting room, and looked back at the way back when he came back for the last time, he comforted her: It will not take a lifetime to let go, soon, maybe only a few years, Everything will pass.

Or, she should go back to the beginning, and before it was too late to start, she said to the youthful and ignorant Situ Jue: Stay away from that person, and definitely don't fall in love with him.

However, if fate has its own track, isn't man's greatest luck and the source of all courage in the inability to predict the end at the beginning?
When he was young, Situ Jue was actually a rather late mature child psychologically, perhaps all children who grew up in a happy family and under the care of their parents are like this. When she was 15 years old, she had just entered the first year of high school. Girls of the same age were obsessed with Japanese idol dramas and comics. Since then, Meimei, who has been in the same class, has secretly made her first boyfriend. In that way, friends and companions, swimming and playing, know nothing about the confusion and distress of the so-called flower season and rainy season.

She also likes "The Sky Is the Bank of the Red River" that she scavenged from Meimei, and she also watches every episode of the smash hit "Tokyo Love Story", but for her, if she has seen it, she has seen it, and it is someone else's. There is no way to find the story, even the emotion.She is also fond of "Dragon Ball" and "City Hunter" that boys are keen on.Walking on campus and on the road, she was not unaware of the strange eyes cast by boys with acne, she just thought it was funny.

Wu Jiang still went in and out with her just like when he was a child, mixing together almost every day.He was one year older than her, and their mothers worked in the pharmacy of the same hospital, her father was in a small business, and his father was an official.The family is not far away, and the two families know each other well. They are about the same age, their family backgrounds are matched, and they have the same aura.In the midsummer weather, they often lie in the shade of the trees not far from the two houses, with their schoolbags thrown at their feet, half of the watermelon for each of them, back to back and gnawing regardless of their image, Zhi Zhi lazily neighing above their heads.

Wu Jiang always put watermelon seeds on her face for excuses, and then praised: "Situ, your freckles look better when they are enlarged." Or, "Oh! You are like a matchmaker with an extra mole."

Situ Jue's reaction is usually to wipe his face first, and then kick Wu Jiang to the ground.

The two were fighting and fighting, and there was some physical contact during the period, but neither of them felt blushing.As for a beautiful love, she yearns like all girls, but she always feels that it is very far away, very far away.

It can be said that Situ Jue's entire childhood and even half of his adolescence were carefree sliding through the calendar until he met Yao Qiyun.If youth represents worries, perplexities, suspicions, and indescribable anguish, then it can be said that the appearance of Yao Qiyun kicked off the prelude to Situ Jue's youth, although this beginning has nothing to do with love at all.

On the day Yao Qiyun was brought to her, Situ Jue, who was always healthy and lively, was tormented by "big aunt" strangely for the first time.In the past, she never had any worries about this. The few days of each month were safe and sound. If her mother, Xue Shaoping, was always nagging, she wouldn't even need to ask for leave in physical education class for this.But only this time, since she woke up in the morning and found that a small piece of the bed sheet was stained, she felt sudden pain in her lower abdomen, back pain, leg cramps, and sweating on her forehead.She felt that she must be dying, but her mother, who was a pharmacist, just calmly threw her a few bags of Motherwort Granules and a few boxes of Wuji Baifeng Pills.

Later, Situ Jue also thought that although she didn't want to see Yao Qiyun, she might be suspected of being "unkind" by imposing this crime on him. There is no connection between them.At least because of him, she didn't sleep well the night before the dysmenorrhea happened, because her parents, who were always loving and beautiful, seldom closed the door and argued all night.

It started with a decision Situ Jiu'an solemnly announced to his wife and daughter at the lunch table the day before.

Situ Jiu'an is a businessman, and he was one of the first wavers to invest in the pharmaceutical management industry after the reform and opening up. Of course, he has reaped a lot of rewards.But apart from being a businessman, what he couldn't forget was his military background.As his only daughter, Situ Jue has long heard his father's reminiscence of bitterness and sweetness.He was a poor child. He joined the army from his hometown in the mountains when he was 17 years old. With his intelligence and diligence, he worked steadily in the army for more than ten years and became a regiment-level cadre. It's like a worthless job, relying on the little retirement money to start from scratch, owning his own business, and then marrying Xue Shaoping, a well-educated city wife, and giving birth to Situ Jue, a typical city girl.

Later, Situ Jue immersed himself in Tianya, the "online home of global Chinese", read countless posts, and finally concluded that her father was an out-and-out phoenix man.Fortunately, Situ Jiu'an, the man from Phoenix, has a thin family in his hometown, so there are fewer disputes in this area, and the relationship with his wife has always been good.The only thing that makes his wife and daughter a little unbearable is his nostalgia for the love of comrades in arms.

Speaking of which, Situ Jiu'an has been in the army for many years and has never fought a decent battle, but his comrades and subordinates who served together in the army are very important to him.Among the retired colleagues, he is not bad, so whenever his comrades have difficulties, before the other party asks, he has enthusiastically extended a helping hand.

Over the years, Situ Jue couldn't remember how many father's "comrade-in-arms uncles" had come to the house, how many times the family had helped father's old friends financially and materially, and how many old subordinates of his father had been housed in Jiu'antang since its establishment.Fortunately, her mother, Xue Shaoping, is not a stingy woman. She knows her husband well, and she usually doesn't care about her husband.And Situ Jue was taught by his parents since he was a child to value love and righteousness, donate righteousness and donate money, let alone take these things to heart, so a lot of friction was avoided.

The real conflict originated when Situ Jiuan heavily mentioned his best friend and subordinate when he was a soldier at the dinner table that day.This subordinate is an honest man, according to Situ Jiuan's words, he is a soldier who talks less and does more, but such a person may not be valued in the same complicated small society as the military camp.With Situ Jiu'an's support, he managed to become the deputy platoon leader, but after retiring from the army, he was still assigned to a small factory with poor returns.In the end, the business closed down, and he simply returned to his hometown to work in agriculture, married a wife and had children, and his life was very difficult.

This has always been a pity in Situ Jiu'an's heart. He always feels that his friend has his own responsibility for not finding a better future, so he always thinks that he can help this friend financially.However, this friend surnamed Yao has a strong temper (later Situ Jue concluded that a certain person's bad temper and awkwardness come from heredity, which is deeply ingrained and difficult to shake).Situ Jiu'an went to visit him, and he welcomed him, but no matter how he tried to give him money, he would not accept it, even if their family's life in the countryside was so tight that people couldn't bear to ignore it.

After Jiu'an Tang gradually developed, Situ Jiu'an invited him to work in the company more than once, but this friend still refused.He said that he knew that he had no talent for business and communication, and he didn't want to slow down Situ Jiu'an and increase his burden. Only farming was what he was good at, and he would admit it after being so poor all his life.

Originally, if you admit it, you will admit it. Everyone has his own destiny, so there is no way to do it.However, the long-term hard work and harsh living environment made this friend surnamed Yao’s health worse. When he started feeling unwell, he always dragged his feet and endured it. He went to the town’s hospital for an examination at the repeated request of his son. He was already in the advanced stage of liver cancer. Ren Hua Tuo Zaishin was also exhausted.

When Situ Jiu'an called to "reminiscing about the past" as usual, the friend's family, which was already suffering from cold weather, had been squandered because of this disease that was destined to be incurable, and had nothing left.The wife couldn't bear these days anymore, and claimed to go out to work, and since then she has lost all news and has no whereabouts. Only one son has dropped out of school and stays by the hospital bed every day.

Situ Jiu'an contacted the best cancer hospital in the city at that time, and made up his mind to let his old comrades receive the best treatment, but it turned out that he was one step too late, only in time to send his friends off for the last time. He was so sad and regretful that he didn't see him for a long time. smiling face.Xue Shaoping persuaded him a few times with good words, but Situ Jue didn't dare to mess around in front of his father during that time, for fear of running into bad luck.On this day, Situ Jiu'an looked full of energy at the dinner table, which was the first time since his old friend passed away.At first, Situ Jue's mother and daughter thought that he had finally relieved his breath, and felt relieved, but who knew that he proposed to bring the orphan left by his old friend out of the country and take care of him on his behalf.

Situ Jue listened to his father talking endlessly about the boy's desolate life experience and his virtues of intelligence, filial piety, understanding, hard work, etc. He was so surprised that he forgot to pick up the food.She is not without sympathy. Situ Jue felt a little sad every time his father talked about that poor Uncle Yao, but that kind of life and that kind of person were too far away from her after all, like the stories in the newspapers. , and a tragic character in that story should join her family and live with her, which is a bit unbelievable.

Xue Shaoping's reaction was even bigger. She listened quietly to her husband's words. It wasn't until he mentioned that the school had been contacted and that he would drive to pick up the child tomorrow. She discussed it, but had already made a decision, but she just informed her.

This made Xue Shaoping, who has a good temper and has always respected her husband, put down the bowl heavily in front of the children.She could accept that her husband had repeatedly over the years made comradeship a priority, or that he was unhappy about the death of a good friend.In her opinion, a good man should be like this, but Situ Jiu'an ignored her feelings as a wife, and decided to take other people's children home to raise them without any room for negotiation, no matter how good or pitiful the child was, this It made her extremely angry and resistant.

Facing his wife's anger, Situ Jiu'an felt that it was expected, but also very helpless. Maybe the reason why he didn't tell his wife and daughter until the last moment was because he was afraid that their opposition would make him hesitate.On the day of saying goodbye to Lao Yao, he would never forget the boy's silence and understanding from beginning to end, as well as the hopeless look in his precocious eyes.Since then, he has vowed in front of his friend's new grave that he will raise the child as his own son, so that his old friend will not have any regrets.

"Do you know what it means to suddenly have another person in the family? The child is 16 years old, not six years old or six months old. How do we get along with him? She is a stranger to me and my daughter. My home is not an orphanage!" Xue Shaoping yelled at Situ Jiu'an angrily.

At that time, Situ Jiu'an avoided his wife's conversation, and turned to Situ Jue, who was holding the vegetables for a while, and said, "How can you say he is a stranger? Daughter, don't you know Uncle Yao? And that little brother, you I've seen it too..." Seeing his daughter's blank look, Situ Jiu'an frowned and said, "Didn't you go to Uncle Yao's house with me? That little brother also ate and talked with you. forget?"

In fact, the expression on Situ Jue's face at this moment is not a memory, but a feeling of discomfort in his stomach from his father's upright "little brother", and he is trying to adjust.

She has watched a lot of idol dramas, Taiwanese romance novels, and Japanese comics. For example, the situation she is likely to face now, if it is shown in TV dramas or comic novels, it will be a super romantic scene.The more representative one is Kaoru Tada's manga "It's Love at First Kiss".Situ Jue can't stand Qinzi, but he still likes Jiang Zhishu.When reading comics, it's not like I didn't think about how suddenly there was a handsome guy of the same age in my family, who lived under the same roof every day, how dreamy it was.

But...but!It makes sense for such a plot to exist in the story, but it is too strange to happen in reality.As my mother said, there is a stranger in the family, and it is a stranger who gets along day and night, and it is difficult for everyone to digest.Especially that "little brother" (when she thought of this, she finally couldn't eat anymore and gave up her persistent chopsticks) completely left her no room for fantasy.
