I'm waiting for you in my memory

Chapter 14 Youth Begins Because I Met You (2)
She has seen "Uncle Yao" in her father's mouth, and more than once, but the first few times were before she was ten years old, and the most recent time was when she went to Uncle Yao's house, and it was not recently, it should have happened almost two years ago up.In the second year of junior high school, just in time for the summer vacation, my father took several comrades to visit Uncle Yao. He insisted on taking her with him, saying that he wanted her to experience rural life, so that he could know how to cherish the superior conditions in front of him and get rid of the pampered Small problems.

Who knew that after Situ Jue followed the car to the countryside, he would be happy to fly around like a bird released into the forest.She is lively and active by nature, and although she usually plays with Wu Jiang Hu Tianhai, her parents are by her side after all, and even an open green space is rare in the city, so she always feels confined.The beautiful mountains and rivers in the countryside made her almost happy to leave, she was curious about everything, and found everything interesting.Situ Jiu'an was busy drinking with his old friends to reminisce about the old days. Situ Jue formally called a few uncles, surnamed Zhang, surnamed Li, and surnamed Yao. They didn't distinguish who they were very carefully, and then went to play with the little friends in the village. .It wasn't until that night that she didn't know what she ate wrongly, and she suddenly had vomiting and diarrhea. When Xue Shaoping learned about it, she was so anxious that Situ Jiuan had to send her back overnight. Afterwards, she even blamed her, saying that she couldn't eat a little bit. Situ Jue felt aggrieved by being too spoiled by her mother.

Situ Jue was trying to recall that experience in the countryside. She remembered the pond not far from Uncle Yao's house, the smell of roasting sweet potatoes with a few children younger than her, and the pecking of grains everywhere. The reed chicken has no impression of the "little brother" surnamed Yao that Dad said.

Xue Shaoping has always doted on her daughter, so Situ Jiu'an also tried to open a gap for her. Seeing that Situ Jue didn't object, he said, "You are the only child in the family. Isn't it good to have multiple brothers? You have a companion and someone to take care of you." You, you don't have to be outside all day."

Little did they know that what Situ Jiu'an said was really unpopular. Situ Jue liked many things, but he didn't like being taken care of by others, even parents. Why should an "outsider" be?She avoided her father's "anticipating" eyes, and she didn't dare to look at her mother's red eyes.In fact, she just felt weird, and there was no way to talk about deeper anger and sadness.The last thing she lacked was a playmate, and she couldn't miss one at home.Fortunately, she is not a person who is looking for troubles, thinking to herself, it is useless to say anything, it seems that her father has already made up her mind, can she not afford to provoke or hide?

So she groaned a few times, lied that she had a stomachache after eating, and fled the scene in a hurry, leaving the mess on the dinner table behind.

That night, Situ Jue woke up thirsty to drink water in the middle of the night, and heard the sound of small conversations coming from his parents' room. Curious, he tiptoed upstairs to check for the movement.Through the closed door, she could still hear the anger in her mother's deliberately lowered voice.

Situ Jue didn't dare to get too close, only bits and pieces of words came into her ears.

"...No matter how much you say, it's useless. I'm not without sympathy, but even if the child's parents are gone, there are always relatives at home who can help take care of him. It's no problem for you to support him in school, why do you have to bring him home... Situ Jiu'an, I don't know you yet. You don't say anything, but you regret that I gave birth to a daughter in your heart. Now that I have picked up a son for nothing, I wish I could keep it by my side as if it were a treasure... You are an old brain, old-fashioned and old-fashioned... ..."

Then there was another explanation from Situ Jiu'an, which was nothing more than responsibility and morality, or how sensible the child was.

Situ Jue leaned against the wall by the door, feeling uncomfortable for a while.She thought, maybe her father really couldn't get rid of the stubborn concept of Chinese men raising children to guard against old age. Although he never expressed his desire to have a son in front of their mother and daughter, he held Situ Jue high when he was young. When he was in his arms, he would tie Situ Jue with his beard and joked, "We are daughters-in-law raised for other people's families. It seems that your mother and I are destined to be grandparents. Sooner or later, Jiu'antang Someone else's."

After listening to it for so many years, Situ Jue always took it as a joke, but now hearing that his mother is so unreasonable, he can't help being a little bit aggrieved.What about boys, at what point has she lost to boys since she was a child?Could it be that in the future, Dad will really treat a boy who is not his own better than his own daughter?She shook her head, worrying about the unknown is the stupidest thing to do.The sky is falling, and she still has a mother.

She sneaked back to her room again, dreaming all night, her clothes were thin and stuck to the corner, maybe she caught a cold, and it happened to be the "big aunt" coming, so she felt uncomfortable early in the morning.

Who knew that the matter was not over yet, just after taking the medicine her mother gave her, her father informed her before going out, hurriedly tidied up the room, moved to the second floor, and vacated her own room for the upcoming "Brother Yao".

Situ Jue jumped up on the spot, furious, and protested loudly, resolutely opposed.Helplessly, Situ Jiu'an acted quite iron-fisted in this matter, and dismissed his daughter's protest without hesitation.Situ Jue asked his mother for help with a sad face, but he could tell from her mother's silence that after a whole night of disputes between his parents, they may have reached a certain consensus, and it was the mother who always put family and the relationship between husband and wife as the most important thing on this matter. A compromise was made.

When Situ Jue returned to the room, his mood fell to the bottom.Her room is on the first floor, while her parents live on the second floor. Only these two rooms in the house are equipped with separate bathrooms.She understood that her parents wanted her to move to the second floor because the boy surnamed Yao had just arrived and wanted to give him a relatively independent space, and the room on the second floor was next to the master bedroom of Situ Jiuan and his wife. It will be more convenient to live there.However, understanding is understanding, and she naturally has difficulties in not wanting to move, but this difficulty cannot be confessed to her parents.

Not to mention that the bedroom on the first floor where I lived for more than ten years is full of feelings and memories, there are countless small organs and small hidden compartments in that room that only Situ Jue knows, hiding all kinds of secrets that cannot be known to his parents. The most terrible thing is that once she moves away, her only escape door and the door of happiness will also be closed.

In Situ Jue's room, there is a window facing the green area of ​​the community. For safety reasons, the adults have already installed anti-theft nets on the window.The anti-theft net is an old-fashioned structure, with thin iron rods vertically inlaid on the window lattice, and it looks extremely strong.However, Situ Jue found out more than two years ago that one of the iron rods was a little loose due to a long period of time. In addition, she could pull it out from a certain angle with her deliberate shaking and pulling. One iron rod was missing, and there was an extra gap, which could completely allow Situ Jue, who was thin and flexible like a cat, to enter and exit freely.

Ever since Situ Jue entered the teenage period physically, Situ Jiu'an and his wife strictly controlled this daughter who was used to being around since she was a child, and drew many rules for her.For example, if there is no special event at night, you can't go out to play after eight o'clock.Since discovering the secret of the window, Situ Jue seems to have been reborn.Several times before, when she was doing homework in the house at night, her mother knocked on the door and asked her if she wanted something to eat. She lost her temper a few times because she was disturbed. Later, Xue Shaoping didn't often pay attention to her when she was watching TV. .So as long as there is fun outside, as long as Wu Jiang and the others give a slight signal outside the window, Situ Jue will lock the door, pretend to study hard behind closed doors or turn off the lights to sleep, and then sneak away, and sneak back when he has had enough fun.

Although she is usually playful, she also knows how to measure, she never dares to go for too long, and she is always careful, so this secret has never been noticed by her parents for a long time.Now moving to the second floor, away from this room, this window, living under the eyes of my parents, what fun is there.

That day coincided with the weekend, and no one in the family had to go to work or school.In order to prepare daily necessities for the boy who is about to arrive, Xue Shaoping seems to have endless things to do, so she doesn't care about Situ Jue, and the burden of moving the room just falls on Situ Jue's shoulders alone.With her waist sore and her back hurting, she reluctantly tidied up, while strongly slandering the uninvited guest who broke her original life track in her heart, until it was almost time for dinner to tidy up.The room was vacated, and his mother changed him into new sheets, and that bedroom was about to be branded by someone else.

Situ Jue still wanted to pay his last silent tribute in front of that window, but Situ Jiu'an had already led a gray figure into the room from outside.Standing behind his mother, Situ Jue greeted the two men, one big and one small, and listened to his father introduce them emotionally.

That 16-year-old boy called "Shake Up Dizzy", no, it should be Yao Qiyun, is thin and tall, and because of his thin body, his hands and feet look even more long.He stood there, trying to smile, but the embarrassment and shyness revealed all over his body couldn't fool her.The four returned to the dinner table, and Situ Jue was sitting opposite him. She made no secret of her curiosity about the invader, and looked at him unscrupulously, regardless of her mother's light cough.

Yao Qiyun was wearing a brand-new but obviously oversized sportswear. Judging from the huge brand logo on it, it must have been made by her father with ordinary taste.His cheeks were very thin, with an unhealthy sallow color, his hair was obviously newly cut, and it didn't have any luster at all. Except for the slightly overshot teeth, his face was not so ugly that everyone would be angry, but it was slightly The deep eye sockets are matched with the slightly sunken corners of the eyes, which makes the most beautiful part of his facial features look gloomy, which is exactly the trait that Situ Jue, who is devoted to the sun, dislikes the most.

Under Situ Jiu'an's repeated urging, he finally picked up the chopsticks. The hand holding the chopsticks was black and thin with protruding knuckles, the nails were pale, and there were faint black dirt in the nail gaps.

"Eat vegetables, Qiyun, this will be your home from now on, don't be polite." Situ Jiu'an frequently picks up vegetables for Yao Qiyun. Chopsticks were stretched out from the dining table, and there was a braised lotus root ball that was said to be Aunt Xue's specialty.

During this process, Situ Jue's scorching gaze made him at a loss, he felt uncomfortable, his hands and feet became disobedient when he was nervous, and the round meatballs fell from the chopsticks, and rolled all the way from the dining table to the floor.

Yao Qiyun's face flushed immediately, he put down the chopsticks and was about to bend over to pick them up.Situ Jiu'an held him down and said repeatedly: "Don't pick it up, don't pick it up, it's okay, I'll clean it up later, let's eat first."

The lotus root ball rolled all the way across the floor under the round table, and stopped at Situ Jue's feet. She was afraid that she would accidentally step on it, so she took out a tissue to pick it up without saying a word.When she bent down, she accidentally saw Yao Qiyun's feet, and almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

Her careless father bought Yao Qiyun a new set of equipment, but forgot to arm him to the full.Yao Qiyun was wearing new clothes that looked awkward, but on his feet were a pair of pull-back shoes whose soles were almost frayed and the uppers were fuzzy.

Perhaps because of the sensitivity, Yao Qiyun sensed what Situ Jue might see, and gently retracted his feet, as if he could escape her sight by doing so.Situ Jue made a face under the table, straightened up as if nothing had happened, she wasn't sure if there was a smile on her face that she didn't hide, all she knew was that Yao Qiyun at the table looked even more embarrassed, her eyes didn't know where to look Well, I don't know where to put my hands and feet.

Situ Jiu'an is not a fool either, although he doesn't know what's wrong, but first of all, he took his eccentric daughter as a knife, frowned and blamed him: "Situ Jue, eat as soon as you eat, why do you have so many small movements, how do you usually teach them?" your."

Situ Jue was greatly aggrieved, she admitted that she didn't have a good impression of Yao Qiyun, but she had put away that thought carefully.She is not a person who despises poverty, at least this boy seems to care more than she does.

"You talk indiscriminately? My daughter kindly picked it up, what's wrong with her? Is this how you educate your children?" Before Situ Jue could defend himself, Xue Shaoping had already said such a sentence calmly.At the end, she took another look at Yao Qiyun who had almost buried her head in the rice bowl, softened her voice, and said, "Keep eating, Qiyun, is it because you are not used to my cooking?"

Yao Qiyun shook his head like a rattle, "No...Auntie, really not."

The way he was eating hard made Situ Jue feel awkward and pitiful.A little bit of anger towards him has also faded under this pity.

"If you don't get used to it, you will get used to it gradually. We are already a family, and there are still many things that need to be adjusted. These are small problems." Situ Jiu'an patted Yao Qiyun on the shoulder.

Xue Shaoping still chose to remain silent.

After the meal, Xue Shaoping cleaned up in the kitchen, and Situ Jue, as usual, leaned on the sofa on the first floor, eating an apple while watching "Baseball Heroes" on TV.Yao Qiyun walked into the kitchen, seemingly wanting to help Xue Shaoping, Xue Shaoping of course said no, but the boy was quite determined to wash the dishes, and they broke a plate when they declined politely.In the end, Xue Shaoping was defeated, so he let him go. He wiped his hands and guided by himself.

Situ Jiu'an smoked in the living room, turned around, and started to pick on Situ Jue's faults again. It was nothing more than coquettishness, his fingers did not touch the spring water, he didn't like to work, why didn't he learn from Qiyun, this kid Qiyun It's really good, the children of the poor are already in charge... balabala... Situ Jue can't even concentrate on watching the plot where Da Ye reveals his true feelings to Xiao Nan after finally waiting.She couldn't bear it anymore, she rolled her eyes, and replied: "He needs to show off now, how can I fight him, then you have to say that I am ignorant."

"You are no one who is sensible." Situ Jiu'an was at a loss for words for a while, so he could only tease casually.

Unexpectedly, Situ Jue quit, threw down the pillow and stood up, "Why am I so ignorant, it was my mother who didn't let me wash the dishes. Besides, besides I don't wash the dishes, why do I let you worry about me?"

This is true, no one praises the daughter of Situ's family as beautiful and sensible, and Situ Jue is also up to the mark. She has never disgraced her parents since she was a child.When she said this, Situ Jiu'an seemed to feel that he had passed on the anxiety in his heart to his daughter.

"No matter how good you are, it's always right to learn from Yun Duoduo." He also has a tough temper, no matter how soft he is, he can only say something like this.

"He and I are two different things, don't keep comparing me to him." After Situ Jue finished speaking, he turned his head and rushed back to his room. When he reached the door, he realized that this room no longer belonged to her, and then he thumped again. Upstairs.
