Being treated like this by her dearest and most beloved elder sister, Ruan Qiuyang felt even more wronged. The tears that had stopped falling suddenly fell down again, and she said to Ye Qiuwen without wiping them off her face: "Sister, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."
Ye Qiuwen didn't want to pay attention to her, so she went into the room and closed the door.
Ruan Qiuyang stood outside the door, and it was not right to go in or not. She stood outside the door, sniffing and picking her fingers with tears, and continued to apologize in a low voice to the crack of the door: "Sister, I really didn't mean to hurt you..."
She sniffed, "I just saw Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie, and Ruan Qiuyang all use good vanishing cream, and I couldn't help itching in my heart, and I wanted to use it too. But I didn't dare to ask you for it, so I was confused for a while... oooo..."
At this point, she stood and cried again.
After crying for a while, she suddenly heard footsteps on the stairs. She quickly raised her hand to wipe her tears and sniffed to make herself look less miserable.
Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Ruan Qiuyue went upstairs. When they got up the stairs, they saw Ruan Qiuyang standing outside Ye Qiuwen's room. Ruan Xi looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't she let you in?"
Ruan Qiuyang didn't look at Ruan Xi and said with a nasal voice, "It's none of your business."
Ruan Xi smiled and didn't say anything else. The door was opened from the inside, and then Ye Qiuwen's voice came out, "Come in quickly, don't stand outside anymore, as if I bullied you."
Seeing that Ye Qiuwen paid attention to her, Ruan Qiuyang couldn't help but have tears in her eyes and pursed her lips, and walked sideways into the house.
In order to prevent Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Ruan Qiuyue from continuing to watch the excitement, she naturally closed and locked the door immediately after entering the house.
Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Ruan Qiuyue certainly didn't have the time to watch their excitement. The three of them went into the next room, sat down at their own seats at the desk, and continued to open their books to read, study and do homework.
Ruan Xi herself was actually reviewing the knowledge she learned in junior high school and had basically no problems. But Ruan Jie was a beginner who started from scratch, so she had to work harder and had more difficulty studying on her own, so she was always brought along by Ruan Xi.
When it was almost noon after reading and studying, Ruan Xi took out a pen and filled it with ink, and wrote a letter to her family and Ling Yao. Because they were thousands of miles apart, she only reported good news and not bad things, and mainly talked about good things.
For example, various interesting things about Ruan Hongjun, such as Ruan Qiuyue's relationship with them, and the warm and friendly Ye Fan. The rest of Ruan Changfu, Feng Xiuying, Ye Qiuwen, Ruan Qiuyang, and Ruan Hongbing were all mentioned briefly without saying much. After
writing the letter, she carefully folded the letter paper and put it in her pocket.
After lunch at noon, she did not go back upstairs, but went out to buy envelopes and stamps, wrote the return address, affixed the stamps, sealed the envelopes, and then put the two letters into the green mailbox together.
After delivering the letter, Ruan Jie looked into the mailbox from the delivery port and said, "I don't know how long it will take to arrive."
Ruan Xi roughly calculated, "The fastest will take half a month, and the slowest may take more than a month."
It takes a long time for the letter to go from here to Tianfeng Commune. When it arrives at the commune, the postman will take it up the mountain to distribute it. The postman is responsible for the entire Fengming Mountain, and the delivery of letters is also very slow.
The three of them went home from the post office while talking. After arriving home, they still did not do anything else, but went back to their rooms to read and study.
Ruan Qiuyue did not have that much homework, she finished it last night, and today she read some extracurricular books on the side.
While reading, they suddenly heard a very light knock on the door outside.
Of course, they could also tell that it was not their room door that was knocked.
After hearing the knock on the door, Ruan Qiuyue looked at Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie with a book in hand, and quickly pricked up her ears.
After a while, the sound of the door lock opening and closing came from the next room.
Ruan Qiuyue simply got up from the desk and leaned against the wall to listen.
However, after listening for a long time, she didn't hear anything.
In the next room, Feng Xiuying brought in steaming food, and Ye Qiuwen immediately locked the door.
Ruan Qiuyang was so moved that he wanted to cry. Just as he was about to speak, Feng Xiuying said "huh" and he swallowed it back immediately.
Feng Xiuying put the food tray on the desk and whispered to them, "Your father is taking a nap now and is sleeping soundly. It will take a while for him to get up. Hurry up and sit down to eat."
Ye Qiuwen hugged Feng Xiuying and said with emotion, "Thank you, Mom."
Ruan Qiuyang was also moved. He came up to hug Feng Xiuying and sat down to eat with Ye Qiuwen.
Feng Xiuying took two steps back and sat down on the bed, sighing and still whispering: "Alas, this family has been in turmoil lately. I don't know when it will be peaceful. If it continues, we will have no life."
Ruan Qiuyang continued: "Just let Ruan Xi go. It's all her fault. Qiuyue was also corrupted by her. Before she came, Qiuyue was so honest and obedient. "
Feng Xiuying looked at Ruan Qiuyang, "You are also wrong. Why did you harm your elder sister again and again?"
Ruan Qiuyang muttered, "I didn't mean it..."
Feng Xiuying looked at Ye Qiuwen again, but her tone was soft, "Qiuwen, you too, you have always been respected at home, and your father has always valued you the most. Why do you tell these lies? If you want to use something good, just tell me."
Ye Qiuwen lowered her head, her ears and face were very red.
Feng Xiuying looked even more upset than Ye Qiuwen, and continued, "You have had your own ideas and insights since you were young. You are a person who will do great things and have a great future! You are an outstanding student representative in school, and you help me a lot at home. I am not very thoughtful, and I rely on you to think about things for me. If Xiaoxi hadn't annoyed you as soon as she came this time, you wouldn't have ignored her affairs, and I wouldn't have forgotten to buy things for her..."
After a pause, she pulled back and said, "Among the children in the family, you are the most sensible and presentable, and the one who makes us worry the least. It is reasonable for you to use good things for the sake of face. Everyone in the family can understand, and Qiuyang and Qiuyue also understand and will not compare with you. But you should never, ever use such a deceptive way to deceive me and your father. . "
Ye Qiuwen lowered her head and said for a long time: "Mom, I really know I was wrong..."
Seeing her like this, Feng Xiuying suddenly became a little flustered again. She moved her body and said: "Qiuwen, don't be too sad. I don't blame you. I don't mean to teach you. You have always been smart and should understand my thoughts. Your father is angry now. You should not make him angry again. Just behave well in the future. "
Ye Qiuwen lowered her head and said "um", "I know, Mom."
Feng Xiuying sat on the bed and waited. When Ye Qiuwen and Ruan Qiuyang finished their meal, she picked up the meal tray and left. Before leaving, she told Ye Qiuwen and Ruan Qiuyang kindly: "Write a good self-criticism, read it carefully at night, and be sincere."
Ye Qiuwen and Ruan Qiuyang responded: "I know, Mom."
Feng Xiuying walked out of the room with the meal tray. As soon as she walked out, she suddenly saw three people standing outside the door next to her - Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Ruan Qiuyue. Looking at the posture of the three people, it seemed that they were waiting for her to come out on purpose.
The moment their eyes met, the air condensed.
"..."
Feng Xiuying was stunned with the meal tray.
Ruan Qiuyue looked at her and said, "Dad said they are not allowed to eat today."
Feng Xiuying came back to her senses and said, "I didn't eat, I just brought them some water to drink."
After that, she stopped standing and hurried downstairs with the meal tray.
Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Ruan Qiuyue watched her go downstairs, then looked at each other and turned back to the room.
After entering the room and sitting down at the desk, Ruan Qiuyue picked up the extracurricular books and said, "She can't bear to go hungry for two meals. It's a miracle that she can remember the lesson. I'm afraid she still thinks she is completely right."
Ruan Xi said indifferently, "Who cares about her? She is used to flattering. Let her continue to flatter. Ye Qiuwen should have never suffered such grievances since she was a child. It's normal for her to be unable to bear it. Let's not care."
Ye Qiuwen should be the most proud child raised by Feng Xiuying. She probably made her proud since she was a child. She was sensible and generous, able to act on stage and handle things. She gave her face everywhere, so she always regarded Ye Qiuwen as a pride.
In her heart, Ye Qiuwen was the best and the one who could not be wronged the most. Making a little mistake would not affect her.
Ruan Qiuyue didn't want to get involved in this matter, so she just said, "I won't do anything about it. Anyway, I've already torn off the fake skin on her face. She can't be treated specially at home in the future, and she just needs to stop acting like a big sister."
Ruan Jie said, "She knelt down today, it's so embarrassing, she probably won't do it again."
Ruan Qiuyue: "It's best if she doesn't."
Ye Qiuwen and Ruan Qiuyang didn't leave the room all day, except for going to the toilet.
Although she said she was reflecting on her mistakes in the room, Ruan Qiuyang still read a lot of novels that she hadn't finished. She couldn't write a self-review because of her limited ability, so she went to Ye Qiuwen to be nice and asked Ye Qiuwen to help her think about it and copy it for her.
Ye Qiuwen used to help her with this kind of thing, especially writing her essays.
She has a position in Ruan Qiuyang's heart, and naturally she is not just a "big sister" in vain.
She usually puts some thought into it, and will help Ruan Qiuyang solve some problems that she can't solve by herself. A little favor makes Ruan Qiuyang feel that she is very powerful and kind to her, so he is loyal to her and follows her lead.
But Ye Qiuwen now completely dislikes Ruan Qiuyang, and just said with a cold face: "Write it yourself."
Ruan Qiuyang now dare not rub against her, and whispered: "Big sister, I really don't know how to write..."
Although she is not very down-to-earth, she has never made any big mistakes at home before, and there are very few small mistakes. Usually Ye Qiuwen takes care of her in everything, and Ruan Qiuyue will not say anything when she is bullied by her, and the family has always been very peaceful.
She said, "I have never written a self-criticism..."
Ye Qiuwen turned to look at her, "Do you think I have written one?"
She has been praised and praised wherever she went since she was a child. She wrote and read speeches. When has she ever written a self-criticism? If Ruan Qiuyang had not cheated her twice, there would not be this stain in her life! Ruan
Qiuyang was speechless because of her. After a while, she turned around, picked up a pen, twisted it in her hand, and wrote three words in the middle of the first line on the red grid paper - self-criticism.
At dinner time, the whole family sat at the table, and Ye Qiuwen and Ruan Qiuyang stood beside them with self-criticisms in their hands.
Everyone was looking at them. Ruan Changfu asked, "Who goes first?"
Ruan Qiuyang pursed her lips and said, "Big sister wrote well, big sister goes first."
Ye Qiuwen: "..."
Don't say she wrote well, okay!
Ye Qiuwen took a deep breath, unfolded the self-criticism in her hand, lowered her eyebrows and began to read the self-criticism.
Everyone at the table listened to her carefully, especially Ruan Hongjun, who was frowning like a leader.
After reading, Ruan Changfu hadn't spoken yet, Ruan Hongjun spoke first: "There are too many useless nonsense, most of which are just for show. To sum it up, there are three words - fake, big, empty, and not much actual reflection."
When he spoke, Ruan Changfu stared at him, as if he wanted to slap him.
After he finished speaking, he met Ruan Changfu's gaze and quickly extended his hand and said, "Commander, you should comment on it."
This was not a speech competition, so Ruan Changfu naturally did not comment. He looked directly at Ruan Qiuyang, "What about yours?"
Ruan Qiuyang slowly unfolded the self-criticism in his hand, cleared his throat and said, "Dear Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. I made two serious mistakes recently. The first time was because I didn't control my mouth and said the fact that my eldest sister could sleep with others, which made her lose face. The second time I stole my elder sister’s vanishing cream. It’s wrong to steal things, and I also exposed the fact that my elder sister could use inferior vanishing cream, which made her lose face...”
At this point, she cleared her throat again, “I know the mistake I made is unforgivable. I’m sorry to my motherland, the party, the people, my dear parents, and even more sorry to my dearest elder sister...”
When she read these two paragraphs, Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie, and Ruan Qiuyue couldn’t help but lower their heads and laugh. Ruan Hongjun didn’t hide it at all, he just looked at her and laughed out loud, even Ye Fan couldn’t help pursing his lips.
But Ruan Changfu didn’t laugh, he said with a dark face: “I think you don’t know where you are wrong at all!”
When he said this, Ruan Xi and the others stopped laughing, only Ruan Hongjun was still laughing.
Ruan Changfu glared at Ruan Hongjun and slammed the table, "Laughing hammer!"
Ruan Hongjun immediately pursed her lips exaggeratedly and bit her lips with her teeth, and never laughed again.
Ruan Changfu looked at Ruan Qiuyang again, "Do you know where you are wrong?!"
Ruan Qiuyang said aggrievedly, "I know, didn't I tell you?"
Ruan Changfu was so angry that he really wanted to stand up and hit her.
Ruan Hongjun couldn't help it and said, "Comrade, let me tell you, you did only one thing wrong from beginning to end, which was to steal the big sister's vanishing cream. Stealing is wrong. The other things only show that you are stupid, but stupidity is not wrong, and it can even be said to be honest, so you don't need to review it. Your review shows that you have the intention to protect the big sister, and this idea is seriously problematic. Comrade, I hope you will pay attention to yourself."
When Ruan Qiuyang heard this, his face turned black and he shouted at Ruan Hongjun, "Stop talking nonsense! You are stupid!"
Before Ruan Hongjun said anything else, Ruan Changfu slammed the table in anger again, "How dare you make such a fuss here? Look at what you wrote. I think your mind is full of confusion. Go upstairs and continue to reflect on yourself!"
Ruan Qiuyang put away the self-criticism angrily, turned around and went upstairs again.
Ruan Changfu calmed down, looked at Ye Qiuwen and said, "I hope you really know that you are wrong and remember the lesson. In the future, you should be honest and simple, and set a good example for your brothers and sisters. If you can't change your hedonism, I will consider sending you all to the countryside to work in the fields for two years."
Ye Qiuwen never looked up and whispered, "Dad, I know."
Ruan Changfu cleared his throat, "I must keep my word. If you say you are not allowed to eat today, you are not allowed to eat. There is absolutely no compromise. You should go upstairs and reflect on yourself again."
Ye Qiuwen said nothing, took the apology letter and turned away.
When she got upstairs, she saw Ruan Qiuyang sitting at the desk, writing a apology letter with a pen to vent her anger.
Ye Qiuwen ignored her and sat at the other side of the bed, leaning on the pillow and dazed.
When she was in a daze, she naturally thought in her heart that she could not go to the countryside to join the production team, and she absolutely could not go from the best in the family to the worst. She has always been the best in the family, and she is determined not to go to the countryside to join the production team after graduation, not even for two years.
So she can't make mistakes again, and it is especially important that she stays away from Ruan Qiuyang, this idiot.
Downstairs restaurant.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie got up after dinner and were about to go back to the room when they were stopped by Ruan Hongjun.
Ruan Hongjun said to them, "Sister and cousin, there is a movie showing in the courtyard square tonight. Do you want to go and watch it?"
Hearing that a movie was showing, Ruan Jie's eyes instantly flashed with excitement.
Ruan Xi smiled at Ruan Hongjun, "Go ahead."
Ruan Hongjun stood up and said, "Then I'll take you there, I've asked someone to reserve the seats."
Watching movies was a regular entertainment in their compound. Sometimes they showed movies once a week, sometimes once every two weeks, but they always showed them on Sunday nights. Ruan Changfu and Feng Xiuying naturally didn't care about that.
When Ruan Hongjun led Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie out, Ruan Qiuyue asked, "Is there a seat for me?" Ruan
Hongjun went to get his schoolbag and put it on his back, "Let's go together."
Then he asked Ye Fan, "Third brother, are you going?"
Ye Fan thought about it and said, "Then let's go together."
Feng Xiuying then pulled Ye Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, take your brother with you."
Ye Fan naturally had no objection and took Ruan Hongbing with him to follow.
Ruan Qiuyang saw from the upstairs window that everyone else went out to play, and only she and Ye Qiuwen were locked upstairs to reflect, and Ye Qiuwen now completely ignored her and stopped talking to her, so she was so angry that she pouted and puffed her cheeks.
Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie followed Ruan Hongjun to the square, and as expected, someone had reserved a row of seats for him. The seats were not chairs, but stairs. The stairs were semicircular, one level higher than the other.
They sat down side by side on the stairs, which was the best position away from the movie screen.
Because there were many children, both big and small, in the compound, the square was bustling with people, especially those boys who were shooting and fighting together. The sounds of fighting and making noises were incessant and very noisy.
When it got dark and the movie started, the square gradually quieted down.
Ruan Jie sat next to Ruan Xi, holding Ruan Xi's arm, watching the movie very seriously without blinking.
After watching the movie for a while in this dim environment, Ruan Xi turned around and looked at the people around her. Suddenly, she remembered the night before the New Year, when they watched a movie together on the playground of Tianfeng Middle School, sitting on the grass.
Ling Yao, Zhou Xueyun, and Ruan Cuizhi sat on her left, and Ruan Jie and Liu Xinghua sat on her right.
It wasn't long since she came to the city, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that she had been away from Fengming Mountain for a long time. Listening to the sound of the projector turning, she couldn't help but start thinking about those people on Fengming Mountain.
Grandpa and grandma, aunts and uncles, and Ling Yao...
and the old tailor who will never be seen again...
