Chapter 47 2
Tianyi did not follow Wang Fang, which surprised Liu Meilan very much.
How could a daughter not follow her mother when she leaves? She actually gave up such a good life to stay in this small city to attend high school. And even live on campus?
Liu Meilan felt that Xin Tianyi was still too young to be so confused. The south was so great, with a developed economy and everything for sale, and Li Zhiye was so rich.
Although Liu Meilan felt it was a pity, she was glad that Xin Tianyi insisted on living on campus. Xie Mei had already prepared all the bedding for him.
It was a done deal. Liu Meilan was very happy.
As long as Xin Tianyi lives on campus, the room can be returned to Wang Mingjie.
Liu Meilan walked to Xin Tianyi's bedroom. The bedroom door was not closed, so she stood at the door and looked inside.
Although it is an extremely familiar room, the feeling of regaining it is so wonderful.
Liu Meilan looked over it carefully again, considering whether to spend money on some cloth to make a new set of quilt covers and sheets for Wang Mingjie. And that table? Wasn't it too small? She should extend it with a piece of wood all the way to the door, so she could fit more books.
Just as I was daydreaming, Xie Mei came out of her room.
When he came out, he saw Liu Meilan standing at the door of Xin Tianyi's bedroom, looking inside and laughing.
Xie Mei guessed Liu Meilan's little thoughts, rolled her eyes, and sat on the sofa with the bag.
When Liu Meilan saw Xie Mei coming out, she quickly walked over and asked, "Mom, what did you get?"
Xie Mei placed the bag on the coffee table and then took out some food bit by bit. "Tianyi said it was all food. Li Zhiye, no, your brother-in-law prepared it for her to eat on the train. Tianyi didn't eat much and left it all in my room."
Xie Meixia immediately took out a plastic bag, which was full of things, but there was not a single word she recognized.
Xie Mei took it closer for a closer look, but still didn't recognize it, so she put it on the table and muttered, "Tianyi said these were snacks we don't see here, and wanted your dad and me to eat them. I put them on the ground and forgot about them. I just saw them, so I quickly took them out and shared some with Mingjie and Tianyi."
"What is this? There is not a single Chinese character on it." Liu Meilan also took a closer look and still couldn't recognize it.
"I'll ask Tianyi when she comes back later," Xie Mei said. "She's very good at English, so this must be all in English."
"It looks like candy?" Liu Meilan thought for a moment and then said, "It also looks like chocolate."
"Who cares what it is?" Xie Mei said, "We'll know when Tianyi comes back."
Liu Meilan curled her lips secretly, and seeing that Xie Mei didn't look at her, she tore the bag open directly. After tearing it open, the packaged small cubes inside appeared in front of her.
"Why are you waiting for God's will? It's food anyway. Just open it and eat one to know what it is." Liu Meilan said to Xie Mei with a smile, and quickly opened one and put it in her mouth.
Liu Meilan frowned as she chewed it, "What is this? It's so bitter!"
"What did I say?" Xie Mei said, "Try it? Is this thing a blind taste?"
Xie Mei took out some watermelon seeds, plums and other snacks from the bag. After she had taken them all out, she felt something hard at the bottom.
Xie Mei opened the bag and looked inside. There was a cardboard box underneath.
Xie Mei quickly took it out and found an envelope wrapped in the cardboard.
The moment she took out the envelope, Xie Mei guessed what was inside.
Liu Meilan had already seen it and quickly came over to ask, "What is it, Mom?"
"Nothing." Xie Mei hurriedly took the bag in her hand, covering the envelope, then slowly stood up and went to her room.
Liu Meilan asked again: "Is the bag still there?"
"I'm just packing my things." Xie Mei walked in without looking back.
When they reached the door, Xie Mei suddenly turned around and looked at Liu Meilan, who was sitting on the sofa eating. "Don't hide the ones you like. When Tianyi and Mingjie come back later, I'll share them equally."
"Mom!" Liu Meilan was furious. "Am I that kind of person?"
Xie Mei went to her room, muttering quietly as she walked: "If you are not me, then who is I?"
Wang Yuxiu was reading a newspaper in the room when he saw Xie Mei coming back with something in her hand. The first thing she did when she came in was to close the door.
Wang Yuxiu took off his reading glasses and looked at Xie Mei: "What's wrong?"
Xie Mei quickly showed her the envelope and said to Wang Yuxiu, "Money!"
Wang Yuxiu asked, "What money?"
"Didn't Zhiye prepare a bag of food for Tianyi?" Xie Mei handed the envelope to Wang Yuxiu. "This is at the bottom. Count it quickly. How much is it?"
Wang Yuxiu took it and felt the thickness of the envelope, and he could roughly guess what it was.
He took the money out of the envelope and counted it slowly.
The total amount is three thousand yuan.
"Three thousand?" Xie Mei exclaimed.
"Three years." Wang Yuxiu said.
"Just put it in the bag?" Xie Mei slapped her thigh. "Zhiye, you look like a smart guy, why would he do something like this? Aren't you afraid someone might steal it?"
"Wang Fang didn't mention this when she called, right?" Wang Yuxiu asked.
"No." Xie Mei said.
"That means Wang Fang didn't even know about Zhiye giving her the money," Wang Yuxiu said. "This was Zhiye's special gift to Tianyi."
"Why give her so much? She's just a child, what use does she have for the money?" Xie Mei said immediately.
"Don't worry about whether she can use it or not. The money was given by Zhiye to Tianyi, and it should be Tianyi who decides how to use it." Wang Yuxiu said.
Xie Mei looked at the three thousand yuan and sighed silently.
Wang Gang's monthly salary is only 150 yuan. How long will it take him to save up the 3,000 yuan even if he doesn't eat or drink?
They gave the child 3,000 yuan right away, and even put it in a snack bag.
"So, Wang Fang's life will be better from now on." Xie Mei said silently.
"At least I don't have to worry about money anymore." Wang Yuxiu put the money away and put it back into the envelope.
Xie Mei was a little anxious and asked quickly: "Why did you put the money back?"
"This is God's will. God will come back soon and give her the money. Let her use it as she pleases."
"Can't you give her a hundred? This is three thousand, three thousand! She only has one child, what if she gets lost?" Xie Mei said immediately.
"Then don't worry about it." Wang Yuxiu picked up the newspaper and continued reading. "Don't worry, Tianyi is not an ordinary child."
Xie Mei looked at the three thousand yuan Wang Yuxiu had already pressed under her arm and knew that even if she tried to hide it, it would be impossible. Xie Mei didn't mean to keep the money for herself, but she felt that it was unacceptable for Xin Tianyi, a fifteen-year-old, to have three thousand yuan in his hands.
But Wang Yuxiu was very determined. Xie Mei thought about it and realized that Li Zhiye and Tianyi would have to meet again in the future. If they talked about it, she would be embarrassed because she had hidden the money. So Xie Mei gave up.
After waiting for Xin Tianyi to come back from Zhang Yang's house, Xie Mei called Xin Tianyi to her bedroom.
Xin Tianyi followed behind and heard Xie Mei's order: "Close the door."
Xin Tianyi followed Xie Mei's instructions and closed the door. Seeing the two elderly people's serious expressions, he immediately asked, "Grandma, Grandpa, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Big deal!" Xie Mei asked, "Where did you leave the bag of snacks when you came back by train?"
"Just put it at my feet." Xin Tianyi told the truth.
"On the ground?"
"Yeah." Xin Tianyi nodded, but seeing that Xie Mei's face was not very good, he asked, "What's wrong, grandma?"
Xie Mei sighed: "I told you, why is Zhiye so unreliable! What if it gets lost?"
Xin Tianyi could only look at Wang Yuxiu.
Wang Yuxiu smiled and said, "It's not lost."
After he finished speaking, he handed Xin Tianyi an envelope.
"Your grandma took out some snacks and said she would share them with you and your brother. But she found this at the bottom of the bag."
Xin Tianyi took it and looked at Wang Yuxiu in confusion.
Wang Yuxiu nodded at her: "Yes, it's money, three thousand yuan."
"So many!" Xin Tianyi was also shocked.
"Your mother didn't mention this at all when she called, so this money definitely wasn't given by your mother. It was given by your Uncle Li," Wang Yuxiu said. "Since he's prepared the money for you, you should take it. You'll have plenty of use for it in the future."
Xin Tianyi squeezed the envelope in his hand and looked at Xie Mei again.
Xie Mei bit her lip and said, "Don't lose it. Don't spend it all at once. Or tell others you have three thousand yuan. It will bring disaster."
"No, grandma." Xin Tianyi said with a smile.
After she finished speaking, she stuffed the envelope into Xie Mei's hand.
Xie Mei paused for a moment and looked at Xin Tianyi: "What is this?"
"Grandma, I'm going to live in the school. Where can I put three thousand yuan? Please keep this money for me. When I need it, I can ask you for it. This way I won't spend it carelessly, let alone lose it."
Xie Mei held the envelope and looked at Xin Tianyi: "I'll keep it for you?"
"Yeah." Xin Tianyi said, "If I bring 3,000 yuan to school, where should I put it? It's not very safe."
"Yes, it's not safe. It's really not safe." Xie Mei smiled, squeezed the envelope tightly, and said, "You did the right thing. Why would a child take money? Grandma will keep it for you. Leave it with me, it won't be lost."
"Yes." Xin Tianyi nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, grandma."
Wang Yuxiu looked at Xin Tianyi from the side and felt that his granddaughter was no ordinary person. Three thousand yuan made Xie Mei very happy.
At this point, Wang Yuxiu also felt that the money was not safe with Xin Tianyi, so he reminded Xie Mei: "Give some money to Tianyi. School is about to start, and she needs to buy things."
"Yes, yes." Xie Mei said, and took money out of the envelope.
"No need, grandma." Xin Tianyi said, "My mother left me a lot of money before she passed away, which is more than enough for me. I really don't need these three thousand yuan, so you can just keep it for me."
"Then I'll go to the bank tomorrow with your grandma and open a passbook for you to deposit your money in," Wang Yuxiu said. "Use your birthday as the password. You'll feel safe when your money is in the bank."
"It's all fine." Xin Tianyi said, "You can discuss it with my grandma."
Xie Mei nodded happily: "Yes, yes, let's discuss it. The child won't have to worry about money. Just go to school well."
When Xin Tianyi left the bedroom, Xie Mei was still looking for a place to hide the money.
Wang Yuxiu couldn't help laughing. Watching Xie Mei looking for a place to put the money, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "See, you're just making trouble for yourself. It's better than fate. Such a young child knows how to put the money safely, and it also makes you satisfied and happy."
Xie Mei didn't understand and rummaged through boxes and drawers looking for a place to put the three thousand yuan.
Don't put the envelope until you find the safest place.
Then, breathlessly, he said to Wang Yuxiu, "Oh, by the way, I still have to distribute snacks. I'm going to go out and distribute the snacks. Please keep an eye on the money."
Wang Yuxiu waved at her helplessly, and Xie Mei went outside to share the snacks contentedly.
The snacks were distributed evenly, with Wang Mingjie and Xin Tianyi each getting one portion, neither of them getting more nor less.
But unexpectedly, after the snacks were distributed, the two children took out a portion from their own snacks at the same time.
Wang Mingjie and Xin Tianyi looked at each other, then at the snacks the other had taken out. They were all Xie Mei and Wang Yuxiu's favorites. They both smiled.
Xie Mei was even happier. She hadn't expected that even after she'd divided the snacks between the two, the children would still be thinking about her and Wang Yuxiu.
Xie Mei quickly said, "No, no, snacks are only for children. Your grandpa and I don't like them."
"Everyone says you're just an old kid, an old kid." Wang Mingjie said, "You and my grandfather are also old kids now. You should have some of this snack too."
"Yes, grandma, if you don't accept it, then I don't want it either." Xin Tianyi simply acted like a spoiled child.
Xie Mei happily accepted her share and said repeatedly, "Okay, I'll take it. Oh, my two children have grown up and become sensible. They even shared snacks with grandma and grandpa."
After breakfast the next day, Zhang Yang and the others went outside to call Xin Tianyi.
Xin Tianyi quickly put on his backpack and rushed out of the house.
The three little friends were standing at the door of their house, heads touching each other, looking at something.
Xin Tianyi hurried over to take a look and saw Wei Ran holding a piece of paper and Yuan Dabao reading aloud beside him.
"Pen, ink, stapler, staples, ruler..."
"You also wrote a list?" Xin Tianyi asked in surprise.
"Well, I'm afraid I didn't buy enough." Wei Ran said to Xin Tianyi, "You didn't write it down either, right? Then you all take a look at my list and make sure you don't miss anything, otherwise you'll have to make another trip."
Xin Tianyi gave a thumbs up: "It has to be Wei Ran."
"Yeah." Yuan Dabao sighed, "No wonder he's always been number one in the school. When you compare him like this, he's different."
"I'm used to it. No matter what I do, I always have a plan in mind." Wei Ran scratched his head embarrassedly. "Actually, it's the same if I just go and buy it. At worst, I can just make another trip."
"It would be best if we could buy them all at once." Xin Tianyi said, "I still need to learn from you. Preparation is the key to success, while lack of preparation leads to failure."
"Tsk tsk. You're showing off your Chinese again." Yuan Dabao couldn't help himself.
The four of them walked there. There was a wholesale market not far away, and there was a store specializing in stationery.
The four of them usually bought their stationery there. The boss was very familiar with them. When he saw them coming, he first asked about their high school entrance examination results. After learning that all four of them had been admitted, he praised them again.
The four of them worked on their own, but would get together from time to time to discuss which stationery was better.
After discussing it over and over again, it took a long time.
Wait until everyone has finished shopping and comes out of the store carrying their own stationery.
Wei Ran suddenly stopped moving.
He stopped at the back and looked at the three people in front.
When they first talked about separation, Wei Ran still didn't feel it very clearly.
It seems like it's just talk, after all, the four of them are still together every day.
But when buying stationery today, when everyone was talking about what they might need more and which model they needed more, Wei Ran suddenly realized that they were really going to break up.
Wei Ran looked at the three people walking side by side in front of him and felt a sour taste in his throat.
In the past six months, he has experienced so much and changed so much.
During his three years of junior high school, Wei Ran had no regrets in the last six months.
Because he has physical education class.
This was something I would never have dared to think about or have ever happened before.
Every subject teacher might call Wei Ran over during physical education class and give him extra lessons.
While everyone was running around in the playground and the voices of Zhang Yang and Yuan Dabao echoed throughout the playground, Wei Ran was sitting alone in the classroom, doing his homework.
But later, he not only took physical education classes, but also learned to play basketball and football, and would often go long-distance running with Xin Tianyi and others.
His body became lighter day by day, and he no longer had colds or headaches.
Even his food tasted good.
Everything changed after that winter.
Wei Ran's gaze finally stopped on Xin Tianyi's back.
It seemed that everything about him was different because of her coming.
Wei Ran silently chanted in his heart: Thank you, God's will. Thank you, Zhang Yang. Thank you, Dabao.
He will soon enter a new environment and make a brand new beginning.
But he could never forget his three little friends.
They may not know how important they are to themselves.
Wei Ran looked at the three of them and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"What are you doing? Why don't you hurry up?" Yuan Dabao turned to look for Wei Ran, and saw that Wei Ran was standing still without moving.
Yuan Dabao called him, "Wei Ran, what are you doing? Hurry up! Zhang Yang said he wants to treat us to soda. Do you want soda or ice cream?"
Wei Ran hurried over and asked, "Who's treating?"
"Zhang Yang!" Yuan Dabao immediately pointed at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang looked at Wei Ran: "It's my treat, what do you want?"
"I want a soda, please." Wei Ran looked at Xin Tianyi again, "How about you?"
"Me too." Xin Tianyi said.
"I am," Yuan Dabao said, "but I want two bottles."
Zhang Yang rolled his eyes: "You're the only one who's fat, aren't you?"
"You're right, I'm the fattest," Yuan Dabao said. "Buy me two bottles. One isn't enough for me. You're the son of a factory director, and yet you're so stingy! How much does your phone cost?"
Zhang Yang not only bought two bottles of soda for Yuan Dabao, but also bought two bottles for everyone.
The four of them sat at the round table at the entrance of the convenience store and drank soda happily.
The soda was freshly taken out of the freezer and was ice cold.
Take a sip, it’s refreshing and all your worries seem to disappear.
Xin Tianyi was also thirsty and drank the soda in big gulps. As soon as she finished the first bottle, she felt unwell.
A warm current surged down from his navel, and Xin Tianyi stood up in an instant.
Oh no, she was careless.
I was still thinking about this a few days ago, but when I played with three people, I forgot everything.
Xin Tianyi quickly said to Zhang Yang: "Sorry, I'll just drink one bottle. This one..."
Zhang Yang looked up at Xin Tianyi. Although he didn't know what was wrong with her, he immediately said, "It's okay, I'll just drink it. What's wrong with you? Are you okay? Why do you look so bad?"
"It's okay." Xin Tianyi waved his hand, "I have to go home quickly. I'm leaving, you guys take your time drinking."
After Xin Tianyi finished speaking, he picked up his stationery and ran home.
After running a few steps, his stomach began to hurt. Xin Tianyi quickened his pace, thinking that it was okay as he was close to home and would go back soon.
Yuan Dabao looked at Xin Tianyi's untouched bottle of soda, very puzzled. "What's going on? She was fine just now. Look at her, she's holding her stomach. Did she have diarrhea? Did she drink the soda? I'm fine. How are you guys? Are you all okay?"
Wei Ran, who had two older sisters, had long known that girls had troublesome days every month. He couldn't bring himself to say it, but he vaguely guessed it and interrupted by asking, "Do you want some?"
Yuan Dabao immediately forgot about Xin Tianyi and asked Zhang Yang and Wei Ran with a smile, "You guys aren't drinking?"
Zhang Yang glanced at him and said, "No."
"Two bottles are enough for me." Wei Ran said.
Yuan Dabao stood up, took the remaining bottle of soda from Xin Tianyi, and said with a grin, "Then I won't be polite."
Xin Tianyi quickly ran home and checked, and found that it was just as he thought.
I had been reminding myself that my period would come right before school started, but after returning from Wang Fang's place, I forgot about it and even drank a huge bottle of iced soda.
Xin Tianyi had a splitting headache and stomach discomfort at the moment, so he simply lay down on the bed, deciding not to go anywhere and to rest.
Another day passed, and the other two gathered in the courtyard. Seeing that Xin Tianyi hadn't shown up yet, Yuan Dabao asked curiously, "What happened to Tianyi? After he left that day, he hasn't come out to play for two days. No matter how we called him, he wouldn't come out."
"There must be something going on." Wei Ran laughed at the side, "Maybe he'll come out to play tomorrow."
"Really? Are you so sure that you can get out tomorrow?" Yuan Dabao asked.
Zhang Yang changed the subject and asked Wei Ran, "How are you going to leave?"
"Take the bus." Wei Ran said, "The long-distance bus will take you there directly. It's only about an hour's journey, which is pretty fast."
"So your family will send you there, or will you go by yourself?"
"My eldest sister said she would take me there." Wei Ran smiled, "But I want to go by myself. My eldest sister still has to work, so she'd have to take time off to take me there. Plus, she's a girl, so I'd be even more worried when she comes back. The station area is pretty messy."
"Then why don't we go together?" Yuan Dabao said immediately. "We can take the same bus to the provincial capital, then separate and go to our respective schools, right?"
Before Wei Ran could say anything, Zhang Yang asked, "Will your mother agree to let you go alone?"
Yuan Dabao said, "I'll talk to her. It should be possible."
Zhang Yang shook his head and told Wei Ran that it would be better not to make such preparations. Yuan Dabao's parents would definitely not let Yuan Dabao go on such a long trip alone, even with Wei Ran as his companion.
Yuan Dabao immediately retorted that his mother was no longer the same as before. She said that Yuan Dabao was going to the Railway School and was a big boy now, and he would definitely not follow others wherever they went.
Zhang Yang could only raise his eyebrows: "If you don't believe it, try it."
Yuan Dabao was very angry and thought he would just give it a try. He immediately went home and discussed the matter with Wang Qinghua. When Wang Qinghua heard that Yuan Dabao wanted to go alone, he immediately refused.
"Absolutely not! Absolutely!"
No matter what Yuan Dabao said, there was still Wei Ran, and Wang Qinghua still disagreed with the two of them going together.
She recounted to Yuan Dabao the reasons why she had to go. After arriving at the bus stop, she had to take the bus to school. Once there, she had to register, pay tuition, and then go to the dormitory, make her bedding, and buy some unprepared items. How could she bear to let Yuan Dabao go alone?
Yuan Dabao had originally made up his mind to be independent once, but after listening to his mother's words, he gave up.
He couldn't even make the bed, not to mention all the other little things he had to do.
Wang Qinghua was determined to go, but she promised Yuan Dabao that this was the only time, the first time school started, that she would go. She would no longer follow him during the holidays.
This is what happened in Yuan Dabao's family, and the same situation occurred in Wei Ran's family.
When Wei Meng heard Wei Ran say that she didn't need to go, and that he and Yuan Dabao would go together, she became unwilling to go and listed several reasons why she had to go. Seeing her elder sister Wei Meng's persistence, and her mother Du Lurui's concern, Wei Ran said that if Wei Meng was not allowed to go, she would go herself.
Du Lurui suffers from severe motion sickness and usually dares not take a car unless necessary. If it takes more than an hour to go to the provincial capital, she will definitely vomit all over the place.
Seeing this, Wei Ran stopped insisting and could only persuade his mother, "Let your elder sister go. I'm even more worried because you've been carsick all the way back alone."
When Yuan Dabao and Wei Ran met again, they both threw up their hands helplessly. Their mothers at home were extremely persistent in sending them to school and would not agree no matter what, so they could only raise their hands in surrender.
Zhang Yang, who was listening on the side, lowered his head slightly.
Although Zhang Yang was attending high school in the city and didn't need to be sent to school, Pei Juanjuan was not at all excited about his new life journey.
It seemed as if Zhang Yang had just had a summer vacation and continued to go to school as usual when school started.
These days, Zhang Yang and his friends prepared things for school together, bought stationery and brought them home. Pei Juanjuan saw it, but that was all she saw.
Only Zhang Liangpeng asked if everything was ready.
After hearing Zhang Yang's reply that he was ready, she ended her concern for him.
So when Wei Ran and Yuan Dabao complained about their mothers not wanting to let go and still treating them like children, Zhang Yang pretended to listen indifferently, but in his heart he also wished he could have such a day.
The three of them played football in the yard for a while. As the sun was setting, Yuan Dabao looked in the direction of Xin Tianyi's house and complained that he and Wei Ran were leaving the day after tomorrow, but Xin Tianyi had not shown up yet.
If they don't show up, they will really leave.
Unexpectedly, after complaining for a few words, Xin Tianyi seemed to have heard it and really came out.
Yuan Dabao was still startled. Seeing Xin Tianyi standing in front of him, he froze and asked, "Did you really hear what I said about you?"
Xin Tianyi was fully revived, and raised his eyes to ask Yuan Dabao: "What did you say about me while I was away?"
"What's wrong with you? It's been several days and you haven't come out to play with us." Yuan Dabao said.
"I haven't been feeling well these days. So I didn't come out." Xin Tianyi murmured.
"Ah? Are you feeling unwell?" Yuan Dabao immediately looked Xin Tianyi up and down: "Are you okay?"
"It's all right now." Xin Tianyi spread his hands: "Successfully resurrected!"
On the third day, Wei Ran and Yuan Dabao were about to leave.
Originally, the two had not agreed to go together, but later the two families discussed it and decided to go together. When they came back, Wang Qinghua and Wei Meng came back together so that they could take care of each other.
Early in the morning, Zhang Yang rode his bicycle to pick up Xin Tianyi.
Xin Tianyi came out of his house and looked at Zhang Yang: "I can ride my own bike."
"Come up." Zhang Yang said, "Aren't you feeling unwell?"
"It's all right now."
"Let me take you. It's hard to park at the long-distance bus station. You have to park in the parking shed, which costs 20 cents per time." Zhang Yang said.
"Yeah, that'll save us a couple of cents." Xin Tianyi jumped onto the back of Zhang Yang's bike and asked, "Where are they?"
"Everyone will gather in the compound later." Zhang Yang said.
The three bicycles were ready to go, and we rode to the long-distance bus station, bought tickets, and the bus was leaving in ten minutes.
Wei Meng and Wang Qinghua had already gotten into the car. Wei Ran and Yuan Dabao stood beside the car and said goodbye to Zhang Yang and Xin Tianyi.
When the driver told them that the bus was about to depart, Yuan Dabao couldn't hold back his tears and they kept falling.
Wei Ran also tried to hold back, pushing up his glasses repeatedly, trying to calm himself down.
"Why are you crying?" Zhang Yang reached out and squeezed Yuan Dabao's cheeks with both hands. "It's not like we won't see each other anymore, and it's not like you're going abroad. We'll see each other in just over an hour."
"That's more than an hour," Yuan Dabao snorted, wiping away tears. "When can I come back normally? My mom said that going to Railway School is different from junior high school. There are also practical classes. You are the same. There is no fun in high school. Just look at Tianyi's brother and you will know."
"They are them, and we are us. No matter how busy we are or how much we have to study, we can always spare some time to meet each other, right?" Zhang Yang persuaded.
"If Wei Ran and I can't come back, will you two come to see us?" Yuan Dabao asked again.
"Let's go!" Zhang Yang said, "I'll go see you guys, for sure."
Yuan Dabao was delighted and turned to look at Wei Ran: "You heard it too. If they don't come to see us, we will break off relations with them!"
"You can't say you're breaking up!" Xin Tianyi stopped him. "Why would you break up? Zhang Yang and I will definitely be thinking about you guys anyway. Don't you have Zhang Yang's family phone number?"
"Yes." Yuan Dabao sniffed, "I wrote it all down in my little notebook."
"I also wrote it down in my notebook." Wei Ran said.
"When you arrive at school and are assigned a dormitory, call Zhang Yang and tell them your number. That way, it won't matter whether we both look for you or you look for us," said Xin Tianyi.
"Okay." Wei Ran looked at Xin Tianyi. "Although we're going far, you'll still have to live on campus. You'll meet new teachers and new classmates in the new semester. Living on campus is a completely different environment than day school, so you have to take good care of yourself."
"Yes, if someone dares to bully you, don't go up to them directly. Take a small notebook and write down their names. When Wei Ran and I come back, they will be in trouble!" Yuan Dabao said immediately.
"Okay." Xin Tianyi smiled. "I'll definitely find a small notebook and write down every name one by one, without missing a single one!"
"Classmates, get in the car. We'll be leaving soon." The driver leaned against the window and smoked his last cigarette, reminding the four people who were crying and indignant beside the car.
"Right away, Master!" Zhang Yang responded quickly, then turned back to Yuan Dabao and Wei Ran and said, "Hurry up and get on board. The car is about to leave."
Yuan Dabao looked at Zhang Yang, then at Xin Tianyi, and curled his lips, about to cry again.
He was not as strong as Wei Ran, who was a few months younger. He turned around, pulled Yuan Dabao again, and prepared to get in the car.
Xin Tianyi and Zhang Yang stood under the car, watching Wei Ran and Yuan Dabao walk to the back of the car one after another.
Wei Ran waved at them, while Yuan Dabao wiped away his tears desperately.
Zhang Yang waved at them from below, and Xin Tianyi lowered his head instantly.
She advised Yuan Dabao that it wasn't like they would never see each other again, so he shouldn't cry. But Xin Tianyi knew better than anyone else that they could no longer be together every day like before.
Wei Ran and Yuan Dabao will go to work after graduation, while she and Zhang Yang will continue their university studies.
If the four of them wanted to truly get back together, it would take at least seven years until she and Zhang Yang graduated from university.
But what does seven years mean? How many days and nights does that represent?
And who can guarantee that the four of them will be able to reunite in the same city seven years later?
Growing up means constantly making promises and parting.
Xin Tianyi's tears kept falling, she lowered her head and never dared to look up again.
Until Zhang Yang reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Xin Tianyi turned to look at him, and Zhang Yang nodded at him.
His eyes were also red, but his gaze was so firm.
Zhang Yang raised his chin forward.
Xin Tianyi looked over and saw Yuan Dabao's face pressed against the car window, making faces at her.
He was already sad enough, but when he saw Xin Tianyi standing under the car and crying, he started to make faces.
Wei Ran next to them was waving at the two of them desperately, and he was also smiling.
Xin Tianyi also smiled.
Although she couldn't control her tears, she really smiled.
For Dabao’s good intentions, and for Wei Ran’s strength to break his hand.
There was also Zhang Yang standing firmly beside her, and the warmth he felt when he held her wrist.
Seven years?
It's only been seven years.
She, Xin Tianyi, has endured her entire life, so why would she still care about these seven years?
Moreover, she did not expect that they would still be together and meet often after seven years when they had become adults.
She just wants everyone to be okay.
It is enough for us to live well and find each other when we occasionally think of each other.
Thinking of this, Xin Tianyi shouted to them: "Don't forget to call, Zhang Yang and I will come to see you."
Zhang Yang heard it, smiled and turned his head to look at Xin Tianyi.
Yes, this is the Xin Tianyi he knows.
Only allow yourself to feel lost for a second. After a second, you will be fully recovered and full of hope.
very nice.
"Huh?" Xin Tianyi looked in the direction of the vanished bus, then turned to Zhang Yang and asked, "What did you say?"
"I say, you have to report to school on Monday. Do you have to send everything to school on Sunday?"
"Really?" Xin Tianyi's eyes widened. "Didn't they say we'll all report on Monday?"
Zhang Yang looked at Xin Tianyi helplessly. "Our school's notice says that new students report on Monday, but boarding students are required to deliver bedding and other daily necessities to school before 5pm on Sunday. Isn't that how your school arranges it?"
Xin Tianyi scratched his short hair and said, "I really haven't read the notice carefully. I'll have to take a closer look when I get home."
"Well, go back and study it carefully. Don't miss the reporting time." Zhang Yang said.
At Zhang Yang's reminder, Xin Tianyi returned home and immediately took out his admission notice. After a closer look, he saw that it was indeed the case. At the bottom of the notice, it clearly stated that boarding students had to report one day in advance.
Xin Tianyi silently cursed himself for being so thick-skinned, but he had to admire Zhang Yang. Although this man looked rough, he was actually quite thoughtful.
It seems that every time Xin Tianyi went out to play, Wang Yuxiu would ask if Zhang Yang was going. It seemed that he would only feel at ease if Zhang Yang went too.
Now that I think about it, the elderly are really good at judging people.
At Zhang Yang's reminder, Xin Tianyi reported to school one day in advance.
Wang Yuxiu took her there and she sat on the back of the bicycle, holding her bedding.
The list of new students' classes is posted on the bulletin board at the main entrance of Experimental Middle School.
As expected, Xin Tianyi was assigned to Class 1, which was the experimental class. There was a bracket at the end of the class with the word "English" written in it.
Xin Tianyi found her dormitory number and bed number in the dormitory building behind her according to her class. Her dormitory was also easy to remember: 201 on the second floor, bed one.
Wang Yuxiu was waiting downstairs, and Xin Tianyi carried the bedding upstairs by himself.
When she entered the dormitory, there was no one there.
After putting the bedding on his bed, Xin Tianyi went downstairs.
"How is it? How many people are in one room?" Wang Yuxiu asked.
"Six," Xin Tianyi said. "But no one has come yet, and the beds are empty."
"I guess they all came from a long distance." Wang Yuxiu said.
Xin Tianyi nodded, but felt that it was too hot outside, so he said to Wang Yuxiu, "Grandpa, let's go. It's too hot."
Wang Yuxiu got on his bike, and Xin Tianyi sat behind him. As they passed the bulletin board, Wang Yuxiu said to Xin Tianyi, "Have you looked around to see who else is in your class? Are there any of your junior high school classmates?"
Xin Tianyi was shocked. Indeed, she had not even looked at the admission list carefully.
Experimental Middle School originally recruited relatively few students and could not be compared with the scale of No. 1 Middle School.
When the school posted the admission notice, No. 1 Middle School occupied half of the list, while there were only a few people on the Experimental Middle School list.
Xin Tianyi actually forgot to check if there were any of his junior high school classmates.
Xin Tianyi said to Wang Yuxiu, "Grandpa, how about you wait for me a moment while I check the class list?"
"Go ahead," Wang Yuxiu said. "Don't be anxious. Take your time."
Xin Tianyi got off his bicycle and went to look at the class list on the bulletin board.
He first looked at his classmates from top to bottom. Xin Tianyi only felt that a few names sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite match them up to see if they were his classmates.
She continued reading until she reached the list of Class 5, Grade 1.
Experimental Middle School has enrolled five classes of students this year. Except for Class 1 and Class 2 which are experimental classes, the remaining three classes are all new students who are admitted normally based on their test scores.
Xin Tianyi looked down and saw a familiar name.
Class 5, Grade 1, Bai Xue.
