Engraved crush time

Chapter 2 Time is an old lover

Xiao Jiayi lived in Manhattan.

Two years ago, Qingshui Hutong was demolished and rebuilt. High-rise buildings neatly replaced the original red bricks and green tiles, replacing those ancient memories worn by time. The residents in the Hutong also felt the care of the policy and were happy. I moved to the new home that I was compensated for, and lived in a building with bright and clean windows.

Xiao Jiayi lives in that house now.He told me that his father had come back to go through various procedures for the house, and originally planned to sell the house, but later, Xiao Jiayi stopped his father.That's because, he heard from his father, the opposite door of this house is Jiang Caiwen's home.

"Do you know, Jiang Hui, I wish I could see you every morning when I open the door, and go to school and go home with you like I used to..." His eyes were always shining with the longing for the past years. Nostalgia, as if, those passing times are right in front of us, as long as we stretch out our hands, we can still hold them tightly in our palms.

It's just that Xiao Jiayi didn't know that I didn't live in Qingshui Hutong a long time ago.

From the day I went to college, I moved all my belongings out of Jiang Caiwen's house.That morning, I was walking to school with two black suitcases. The late summer sun was still scorching the corners of the city. Sweat spread and soaked my whole body unscrupulously, but I felt happy, like Only a prisoner bird escaped from the cage. From now on, the blue sky allows me to fly.I feel that I am free. I will never look at Jiang Caiwen's face again, nor listen to Jiang Caiwen's endless scolding. All my sorrows will come to an end here, and what awaits me will be a brand new tomorrow.

The transition and alternation of time is not just the rotation of the clock, but also the alternation of disappointment and hope.

So, I have always believed that my tomorrow will be better.Although, at that time, all the money in me was not enough to pay the tuition for one school year, and the only money I had was exchanged for a summer vacation of going out early and returning late, and sweating for a summer vacation.

It's not that Jiang Caiwen doesn't want to pay tuition for me.On the contrary, on the day I was about to leave, she left a heavy earth-colored envelope on the glass table in front of me, and while knocking on melon seeds, she chattered: "Don't think that my mother's money is so easy to ask for." , here is 2 yuan, I wrote it down for you in the ledger, and you will pay me back in the future!"

"Let's leave you alone for the elderly!" I smiled dryly, picked up the suitcase and walked out the door. I used a lot of strength when closing the door. At the moment the door valve was locked, there was a knocking sound between the door panels. Rippled back and forth in the empty stairs.

This is the first time I have disobeyed her.

I don't know if Jiang Caiwen's face is ashen in the room, but in fact, I don't need to know.I knew in my heart that those days of being insulted and scolded by her would never come back again, and those nightmares that tormented me day and night had finally come to an end.

And all of this is because... because Jiang Caiwen is not my biological mother.This is definitely not my imagination, but the thought she instilled in me time and time again: "If my mother hadn't brought you back at the gate of the orphanage, I don't know where you would die now!"

I can't figure out why my biological parents abandoned me. I just know that I don't have biological parents, and I have no one to love and no one to love.Therefore, no one will hold me in the palm of their hand and treat me like a jewel in the palm of their hands.Even if I get the first place in the school in the exam, no one will go behind my back to eat the new Pizza Hut product that just came out.Therefore, since I was in elementary school, I have endured jokes from my classmates and insults from Jiang Caiwen.At that time, I always walked with my head down, and I would always fold the papers with full marks neatly, and then hold my grades every time like holding my own future life. Tell yourself: Just be patient, everything will be fine when I grow up.

I have to admit, those were the darkest days of my life, and every day was filled with fear and timidity.I so desperately hope that I can grow up quickly, so desperately hope that I can get rid of these painful days, and this day has finally come in my day-to-day hope. From now on, no one will take All her temper was poured out on me, my immature shoulders finally picked up the burden of life, I finally learned to support myself, and finally lived carefully without looking at other people's eyes...

On the first night of living in the dormitory, six girls from all over the world talked about their life in college with great enthusiasm. They gradually said that they were tired and fell asleep, and I realized that I had already burst into tears in the dark world. At that time, I suddenly realized that I missed Xiao Jiayi very much, and missed him heartbreakingly.

I think, if I didn't have so much pain and low self-esteem in my young life, I would definitely not suppress my feelings for Xiao Jiayi in my heart, and I would definitely not endure the pain in my heart but still forcefully say to him with a smile: "Actually , Tao Wanyi is a good match for you..."

Tao Wanyi and Xiao Jiayi are indeed a talented couple with beautiful looks and a perfect match.

She is recognized as the queen of temperament in our school, and she will speak on stage as a student representative at the flag-raising ceremony every Monday.Her Mandarin is excellent, her sentences are mellow and powerful, and it is a pleasure to listen to her speech every time.So when she finished her speech and walked off the rostrum, there would always be prolonged applause from the audience, which could always bury the principal's speech.

I think, God must love her too much, otherwise, how could he reward Tao Wanyi with all the good things without hesitation?She is beautiful, walking in the crowd in a white skirt with plaid is a beautiful scenery in summer; she is gentle, with a smile in the corner of her eyes when she talks; the math papers she does are complete and neat Qi, every time she is used by teachers from other classes to make exhibitions and samples; she is really outstanding, and only she is worthy of Xiao Jiayi.

Tao Wanyi really started to get in touch with Xiao Jiayi in the second half of the third year of junior high school.At that time, she and Xiao Jiayi were sitting behind me, and I often heard them arguing over a certain math problem.I didn't dare to look behind me, I just twirled the ballpoint pen absent-mindedly.The barrel of the pen rotates back and forth under the force of my index and middle fingers, round and round.

Not only that, Tao Wanyi also joined the army that Xiao Jiayi and I went home.Although she lived a long distance from Qingshui Hutong, every time, she walked with us to Qingshui Hutong with high spirits, and then took the bus back home.Along the way, she would always find various issues to discuss with Xiao Jiayi. They were extremely serious when discussing issues, completely forgetting that there was a girl named Jiang Hui following behind them.

Anyone can see that Tao Wanyi likes Xiao Jiayi.

However, no one would have guessed that Jiang Hui also liked Xiao Jiayi.

I am timid, cowardly, inferior, and I am not worthy of Xiao Jiayi.Therefore, I only have to carefully hide him in my heart, and carefully wrap up my young crush.

Xiao Jiayi left Zhengzhou after the high school entrance examination.

After the senior high school entrance examination, we sat in an empty classroom discussing this year's test questions and the admission scores for key high schools.The senior high school entrance examination at that time was not like it is now—the admission score for high school was announced after the examination results came out.At that time, from the test scores to the admission scores, it was estimated by the students themselves, and then they applied for the school.If the estimate is accurate, you may be able to enter a good school. If the estimate is not accurate, then naturally there is a bit of regret.

My grades are estimated to be very good, especially in English, and there is almost no gap with the standard answer.So, Xiao Jiayi kept urging me to apply for the Provincial Experimental Middle School. I hesitated holding a black pen. That was because Xiao Jiayi hardly talked about his estimated grades. I had no way of knowing whether he did well or not until I saw After he resolutely wrote Provincial Experimental High School in the volunteer column, I was slightly relieved, then I clenched my pen, buried my head in the volunteer form, and wrote down the same wish as Xiao Jiayi with a rustling sound.

I think, I will go to class with Xiao Jiayi and go home together, and we will not lose each other on the way back and forth.

However, I never thought that Xiao Jiayi would still lose me.On the morning of the second day after we filled out our application form, he knocked on the door of my house, stood straight at the door, and said, "Jiang Hui, I'm leaving!"

I didn't understand what he meant, I thought he was going to the bookstore.Because every morning on the rest day, he would come on time and ask me to go with him.So, I ran into the house and said: "Just wait for me, I'll just wash the dishes..."

He stopped me behind me, I turned around and smiled at him, and said, "Just a moment, just a moment..."

He suddenly lowered his head, and said, "Jiang Hui, we are moving out, my father has been dispatched to Guangzhou by the work unit."

When I heard the word "Guangzhou", I realized that Xiao Jiayi was going to leave me, and I realized as if I had just woken up from a dream. Since then, the distance between me and Xiao Jiayi has become farther and farther.

On the morning when Xiao Jiayi left, Zhengzhou was so hot that I didn't dare to go into the sunlight, I was afraid that the scorching sunlight would melt me, like melting an ice cream.

I have been lying on the bed sobbing, my hands tightly grasp the sheets, I pour all the strength of my body into my hands, as if in this way I can catch Xiao Jiayi and those years that have abandoned us.

People are always like this, the more they try desperately to grasp happiness and happiness, the more they cannot grasp it.

So, later, what awaited us was endless wanderings one after another, bumping from one strange environment to another strange land, no matter how many landscapes we saw through, we still couldn’t meet the most familiar person after all.

When I was crying the weakest, it was Yang Shanshan who lifted my quilt.To this day, I still remember that on that night mottled with tears and street lamps, she climbed into my bed from the adjacent bed, and while wiping the tears on my face, she held me in her arms, her voice was clear. Hoarse, she said, "Can you be stronger!"

The next day, the first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Yang Shanshan, or in other words, only Yang Shanshan and I were left in the six-person dormitory. She was wearing a blue striped shirt and dark green jeans.Her hair was tied into a high ponytail, she poured hot water for me and said to me: "Are you awake?! Get up and eat something, the hot porridge I just bought for you in the cafeteria. "

My eyes were moist the moment her words fell, except for Xiao Jiayi, no one has ever been so kind to me!Not even Jiang Caiwen.

I only lived in the dormitory for two months.

Of course, this is not because I don't like the life in the dormitory, on the contrary, the dormitory gives me the warmth that I lack in my life.Yang Shanshan always turns on the desk lamp and waits for me to finish my evening tutoring. She fills me with hot water to soak my feet, and sometimes there is warm porridge in the thermos for supper.Occasionally, I would bump into the locked door of the dormitory building because I came home late. Every time at this time, it was Yang Shanshan who ran to the duty room in her pajamas to get the key to open the door for me.

The reason why I moved out of the dormitory was because I felt ashamed.

Yes, I need to go out early and return late to work a part-time job, and I need to earn money to support myself, but this must not be an excuse for me to disturb the normal schedule of my roommate.

So, two months later, I rented a cheap two-bedroom house in the family courtyard of the school staff.If it wasn't because the teacher rented out the house at a low price because he was eager to go abroad to "golden", I don't think I would have rented the house so smoothly, and I would not have met Tang Qiming because of it.

It was the afternoon of the second day I moved into the "Xin Nest". I was crawling on my stomach and wiping the floor with a rag, while thinking about whether I should go to the school's BBS to post a rental notice to rent out one of the bedrooms in this house. This can easily save a fortune.

It was at this time that Tang Qiming knocked on the door of my house.At first, I thought that the landlord had left some valuables in the house, so I grabbed a dirty rag and opened the door. Then, I saw a boy in a brown trench coat with a pair of glasses on his nose. Black-rimmed glasses, the first sentence he said to me was: "Hello, owner! I saw your rental notice on the bulletin board of the family courtyard community. Excuse me, is this house rented out?"
