Chapter 100: little stars

Ji Yuanjie received compensation at home, which relieved most of the

difficulties. Ji Yuanjie’s father’s second operation was also very successful.

Xiao Ji and his mother have been in the hospital waiting for people to wake

up. The doctor said that there is great hope that they can resume walking.

They remain optimistic.

Mother Ji gritted her teeth for months and insisted on being a person who had

never been weak in front of her child. She shed tears for the first time after

hearing this. Xiao Ji hugged her and sat on the bench beside her, letting his

mother. Leaning on his shoulder, he cried happily.

(Fa) After venting the pain in her heart, Mother Ji quickly recovered. She is

a very neat person. After paying the medical expenses, there is still money

left. After setting aside money for her son to go to school, she I found a

small shop to rent it, and the family moved in to eat and live here. Although

the conditions are difficult, she can take care of her husband while doing a

small business to make money to support the family. Xiao Ji can also go to

school.

Ji Yuanjie began to prepare for the repetition, and Tang Jinyu introduced him

to the work of Su Zhai Hall.

There are two shifts at Su Zhai Pavilion in the morning and evening. It will

be past five o'clock in the morning. Mother Ji feels sorry for him and

prevents him from going. She does the morning job by herself. The small shop

is busy in the evening. She also needs to take care of her husband. Xiao Ji

will continue to do the evening share by herself. The mother and son work

together in a division of labor. Besides, Su Zhai is not far from their small

shop, so it won't be particularly tired. With the extra money for a part-time

job, the family's conditions can be improved a bit, and I don't know how much

better than the previous two months.

Mother Ji knew what the children had done, and was very grateful to them. On

the day the store opened, she specially asked Xiao Ji to invite the children

over for a meal.

Although it was just a table of home-cooked dishes, everyone was very happy to

eat. Mother Ji ate out the two pots of rice prepared by her. She was happy to

see how much the children ate.

The bell in the small shop rang lightly. Mother Ji hurried in and saw her

husband asking in the cubicle inside: "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"

Ji Yuanjie's father was lying on a sick (chuang), his face was much thinner,

but he seemed to be in good spirits. He pointed to the outside and smiled and

said, "Bring the kids some drinks to make them eat happily. "

Mother Ji also laughed and said to him: "I took it, I put a box on the table

specially, but the few students in Xiao Ji came over and saw that they thought

it was an unplaced box, so I just carried it inside. They were unwilling to

take it apart, you don’t know, Xingxing and a few girls also squeezed their

own juices, saying that their family had a lot of watermelons and they

couldn’t finish them..." She poured a glass of warm water for her husband. Put

it on the small table next to the bed and sighed, "It's all a bunch of good

kids."

Ji Yuanjie’s father also nodded. He looked outside. The bead curtain blocked

some of his vision. He reluctantly saw his son who was shuttled back and forth

at the dining table to help his friends serve meals. His lips were also

smiling, and his eyes No longer dull, but a light of hope.

Mother Ji fed him water and said with a smile: "You can rest assured that you

will get better."

Ji Yuanjie's father drank water, and he thought these words in his heart. He

thought it would be all right.

After dinner, everyone also helped to distribute flyers to the small shop.

This was printed by Han Yixing. The number was not large. A few people quickly

finished it. The little girl looked happier than Xiao Ji, jumping around. I

didn't want to leave after jumping to distribute the flyer.

A car stopped by the side of the road and honked the horn.

She glanced at it and ran and shouted, "Xiaoyu, your brother is here to pick

you up!"

Tang Jinyu was helping Xiao Ji clean up. Hearing a glance up, Ji Yuanjie saw

it too, and urged him with a smile: "Go ahead, don't let Xia Ye wait in a

hurry. Be careful to come in and catch people."

This incident has also been born before (fafa). Ji Yuanjie and Tang Jinyu have

been classmates since kindergarten. It is not rare to see such a scene.

When the kindergarten was waiting in line for the parents to pick him up after

school, Tang Jinyu's family was always the first one. Sometimes it was Tang

Hongjun, sometimes it was Xia Ye, and even Teacher Xia took the first place.

When they graduated from kindergarten, their family came to the most uniform.

Tang Jinyu stood in the wrong team and almost walked to the seats of other

people's houses, or Xia Ye did not hesitate to stand up and carry the child

back to his home.

Natsuye grew tall, and when he passed the crowd back to his seat with the

child's back collar, the audience laughed.

It’s better in elementary school, usually outside the school gate. On

weekends, the teacher assigns a lot of homework, and there are many books that

need to be brought back. Tang Jinyu's family will go to the classroom to

connect him and help the children carry school bags along the way.

Ji Yuanjie has seen it countless times. Every weekend, he can see Tang Jinyu

and his brother standing outside the classroom, wearing a mask. When they see

them, they only nodded lightly. He raised his hand to take Tang Jinyu's

schoolbag, and his movements were very natural.

But this time Xia Ye was not going to pick up a single person. He also picked

up Han Yixing back together. The two of them lived in a small community. When

they came, Han Yichen repeatedly urged that he must take his sister back home

safely.

The little girl walked a little bit reluctantly, but she waved her hand to say

goodbye to everyone and went to Xia Ye's car.

The black (colored) car stopped on the side of the road and didn't rush away.

After a while, Tang Jinyu got down from the back row and went to the co-

pilot's place, and the car drove away.

Guo Xiaohu kept watching at the door, wiping with a rag in his hand, but Xiao

Ji called him twice before reacting, and said, "What's wrong?"

Ji Yuanjie pointed to his hand and said, "This is a rag for cleaning the

table."

Guo Xiaohu glanced down, and then realized that he didn't know when he took

the rag and wiped the door frame, and quickly put it away, a little

embarrassed: "I just thought about something, but didn't pay attention."

Xiao Ji said: "It's okay. The door frame doesn't need to be wiped. Everyone is

gone. You should go back soon. Don't worry about it."

Guo Xiaohu looked up and looked around. As expected, he was scattered. A

classmate called him to go with him. Guo Xiaohu shook his head and said, "You

go first, I'll go back in a while."

His home is close to here, and he is not in a hurry to go back, sitting there

and chatting with Xiao Ji for a while.

There are lights outside the small shop. Xiao Ji set up a small table from

home and placed it there, sitting and chatting with Guo Xiaohu. At the

beginning, he was still talking and studying. Later, I don’t know who started

talking about his childhood. Both of them fell silent.

There was a glass of iced watermelon juice in front of Guo Xiaohu. The girls

brought a lot today. He took a sip, but felt sour in his mouth. Later, he felt

that it was not a matter of his mouth, but that his heart was sour and not a

taste. He sighed: "Xiao Ji, do you like to excel?"

Ji Yuanjie didn't say a word, his eyes fell on Guo Xiaohu's glass of

watermelon juice, avoiding his sight and asking: "Where are you?"

Guo Xiaohu said: "I don't know if I like him. I paid special attention to him

before. Since I was a kid, I just thought he was very good-looking. Later, he

helped me a lot, whether it was study or other things, just see When he was

there, I felt very relieved and felt that I could do everything." He turned

the cup, "It was probably last year. I think I am more than just paying

attention, I care about him especially."

"It's the kind, I can't help it."

"I saw him standing there, his hair messed up by the wind, and I wanted to

reach out for him, and want to get closer to him."

"When he smiles, I am very happy. When he is not smiling, I want to make him

happy. I miss him when I see him. I don't see him, and I want to..."

Ji Yuanjie said softly, "You must have seen her today, so you are so happy,

right?"

"Yes." Guo Xiaohu's mouth moved, trying to laugh, but his eyes were a little

sad, "but I can't tell him."

"why?"

"He has a good time, I don't want to disturb him."

Guo Xiaohu drank all the watermelon juice in the cup, twisted and loosened his

brows, and finally sighed.

He felt a little greedy.

His likes are destined to die without disease, and he cannot and does not want

to break the current intimacy.

Ji Yuanjie glanced at him, struggling for a while, and still said, "Don't you

want to try? What if the other party likes you too? Such a good person, it

would be a shame if you don't fight for it."

"Anyway, I also transferred to another school. I can't see it from so far

away... Hey, forget me, what about you?" Guo Xiaohu shrugged, "You should have

someone you like, when do you plan to confess?"

Ji Yuanjie was silent for a moment and said, "I'm just like you."

"What?"

"I am very happy to see her every day."

The two brothers sighed and sighed, with an unspeakable name in their hearts.

Guo Xiaohu took Xiaoji as a tree hole and didn't dare to mention the boy he

liked, but just talked about the boy's thoughts. Xiao Ji thinks too much,

enduring bitterness and recommending the best girl in the world to him.

Guo Xiaohu said that he used to admire that person. From admiration to liking,

Xiao Ji felt the same way. He also liked the stars since he was a child. He

was moved by the enthusiasm and justice in her. The two people are not the

same person, but in their hearts, that is the most. Good and most beautiful

person.

Guo Xiaohu finally understood the taste a little bit, and looked at him and

wondered: "Why do you always mention stars (gan gan) to me?"

Xiao Ji bowed his head and said, "Don't you think she is particularly good?"

Xiao Ji’s thoughts are already an open little secret among the boys. It is

estimated that except for Xiao Ji and Han Yixing themselves, everyone else has

silently tied them into a pair. Guo Xiaohu felt even more in his heart. This

is the brother's object, Xiao Ji asked him, and he nodded and said, "It's

pretty good."

Xiao Ji said hard: "Then you can be bolder, she is really a very good girl, it

doesn't matter if you transfer schools, you can write to her, but don't write

too much, it will affect her study..."

Guo Xiaohu's eyes widened, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "I'm

writing to her (gan gan), I don't like her!"

Xiao Ji looked up and looked at him at a loss, "Don't you like stars?"

Guo Xiaohu shook his head into a rattle, refusing to (gan) crisply, "I don't

like it, I don't like it at all, you can keep it for yourself."

This time I changed the season and made a big red face, and screamed for a

while, but didn't say anything.

Guo Xiaohu was happy, and said to him with emotion: "I don't like stars, I am

just like you."

"what?"

"I looked at someone, but he couldn't see me." Guo Xiaohu scratched his chin.

He said such implicit words for the first time, but he insisted on this point,

and didn't want to cause any trouble to the person he liked. "Speaking of it,

I am worse than you. I don't think I dare to confess in my life, but that's

okay. If he has a good life, I will be happy."

Xiao Ji looked at him for a while, as if trying to digest what he said,

watching his eyes discern for a while and then whispered: "But you used to be

a gentleman, and you have given stars from kindergarten... "

Guo Xiaohu waved his hand and said, "That's not true, I really can't beat

her."

The summer night is destined to be long. On the other side, Tang Jinyu is

following Xia Ye for a walk.

He ate dinner at Ji Yuanjie's house. There were a lot of people in Xiaoji, and

the classmates talked lively. He ate a small bowl of rice with joy, and he was

a little bit stuck.

The two brothers whispered as they walked, and they wandered around the

community without going anywhere.

This is the place where Tang Jinyu grew up. It hasn't changed in the past few

years. After he came back, he was familiar with everything. He can easily

point out which tree is the easiest to catch cicadas, or where a small cluster

of fruiting nightshades will pop up after the summer rain. The purple (color)

rice-sized berries are slightly sour and sweet. He stole it when he was young.

After eating, his brother grabbed the two purple and black (color) berries on

the spot, and forced him to rinse his mouth for a while.

The small fruit of nightshade is a little bit poisonous. It’s okay to eat a

few less, but he is not in good health and can’t stand up. Since then, his

brother has seen him more severely, and even walks. With him.

It was dark outside and there were no people in the community. After walking

on the small road, Xia Ye suddenly crouched in front and said, "Come on, I'll

carry you."

After climbing up, Tang Jinyu hugged his neck and whispered, "Brother, I've

grown up."

"Well, I have grown up a bit."

Xia Ye supported him upside down, got up steadily, and carried him on back.

The Ji family's matter has been resolved, and Xia Ye also wants to solve the

problem between them.

His children have always been close to him. If it weren't for the entrance

exam this time, he might have talked to the child long ago. As early as a few

months ago, he was vaguely aware, once he had suspicion in his heart, he began

to feel that there were flaws everywhere.

From pocket money to the piggy bank at home, he was familiar with everything,

especially the piggy bank, which Tang Jinyu has been using since he was a

child. It was a big pink (colored) piggy bank. They used to reward children

with sweets and toys. Later, when there were too many of them, they changed

their pocket money. Tang Hongjun started it first. The children are very

obedient today, or do If there is something worthy of praise, everyone throws

a coin into the piggy bank, and they all reward the child casually.

After so many years, the coins were full, and they were replaced with

banknotes.

After Tang Jinyu came back from the summer vacation, Xia Ye unconsciously

threw a coin in it, and the "jingle" made a crisp sound, which was too

obvious-his child was so real that it was all hollowed out, and the coin could

hear the echo as it fell.

The thousands of dollars in that little pig's belly can be said to have been

accumulated for one dollar and one dollar every day. Xia Ye opened it and

looked at it. It was really empty. There were no banknotes and coins.

Xia Ye started to build the embankment. He felt that something happened to

him. His brother had something to hide from him.

So he waited until his brother called.

He waited for the unreceived call, no matter what reason the child thought, he

couldn't bear it, (gan gan) just followed and returned to the town.

Xia Ye walked with him on his back and asked, "Why don't you tell me when you

encounter difficulties?"

Tang Jinyu hugged him and whispered: "Just, I just want to try it myself...I

can't find you if anything happens."

Natsuno frowned: "Why not?"

The person behind hesitated and said, "Because, because you are looking for a

marriage partner in the future. When you have a partner, you will be

responsible to another family when you get married. Brother, you will have

your own My child, I’m not your child, how can you keep me in charge for the

rest of your life?"

The child on the back said a bit wronged, and the tone of voice fell down.

Xia Ye laughed and said to him: "I don't have this plan for now."

"Then you will definitely have such plans in the future."

"What did you hear again?"

Tang Jinyu hesitated, and murmured a few words in his brother's ear. Xia Ye

heard "Um" twice at first, and soon changed her tone, "Huh? Song Yi?"

Tang Jinyu nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Song is looking for someone. You

will definitely have such a day like Song Brother..."

Xia Ye focused on Song Yi's object, and asked him, "Song Yizhen has talked

about it?"

"Yeah, don't you know, brother? The person Song is talking about is pretty, I

haven't seen it yet, but someone saw it last time and said it was a beautiful

woman with long hair, you all know about it on the 17th floor."

Xia Ye didn't know at all, "Why are you so clear about our company? Where did

you get it? Your gossip speed is quick enough."

The entire 17th floor is Xia Ye and Song Yi, and the other is the secretary

room. There are not many people who can go up. Tang Jinyu took Xia Ye’s backup

card, and the entire company is unimpeded. Even the president’s office is

where he writes his homework from lower. , It's so familiar.

Xia Ye is obviously not included in the "all people" known to all levels.

After Xia Ye expressed surprise about Song Yi's love affairs, he didn't pay

much attention. Song Yi was in his thirties, and he was getting married. He

simply asked a few words, then turned his attention to his brother again, "You

just made a tantrum with me because you guessed so much?"

"I'm not making trouble." Tang Jinyu picked his finger on his shoulder, and

whispered, "I just, I don't think it can be too arrogant, brother, I've grown

up and I can no longer be like a child. "

Xia Ye walked with him on his back and said to him: "You can continue to be a

kid." He thought about it, his tone softened a little and discussed with him,

"You can make trouble with me unreasonably, and if you are wronged, come and

tell me. If you get into trouble, just push it to me. You don't need to rush

to the front by yourself, and back behind me if you're afraid... Xiaoyu, you

don't need to grow up."

The boy on his back hugged his arm tightly, and said nothing, "I don't know

what else to do, brother, I don't think I can catch up with you..."

"You can act like a baby with me."

"Ok?"

Xia Yedao: "Tell me, I will help you solve it."

Tang Jinyu said dullly, "I don't want to be a kid."

Xia Ye laughed and discussed with him: "You can be a mature and stable child."

Tang Jinyu rubbed his back lightly and smiled.

Xia Ye kept carrying him and didn't let go. His brother wanted to come down,

but he didn't let it go. He didn't know what he was stubborn, but he couldn't

bear to let go, as if letting go, the child would really grow up.

His brother is as focused and assiduous as he is. When he goes to the hospital

for treatment, he always smiles to make them happy. He has never shouted

bitterness, and he usually uses very simple things. Although the family

conditions are good, but at all Not squeamish. The only squeamishness may be

developed by their parents. Compared with them, children can really endure a

lot of hardship. They can go to work in the vegetarian restaurant, they can

also move furniture and clean, and they can do a good job.

He thinks that children can't bear hardship.

It is also that he wants to keep the child by his side and to take over all

his troubles.

The boy on his back hugged him from behind, a little embarrassed and said:

"Brother, I have always only followed you..."

"Ok?"

"Just, being too close to you will disturb you? What should I do in the

future, I have been thinking about this all this time, you are so good to me,

if you are good to other people in the future, I feel bored when I think of

this It's a bit uncomfortable." Tang Jinyu lay on his shoulders, cheeks

pressed, and looked up at the night sky. He didn't know what to do, Xingxing

also liked her brother, but she certainly didn't like her so much.

"I don't know, I only have you."

Xia Ye carried him home and walked slowly. He didn't know who else would be in

the future, but no one was more important than the kid on his back now.

This kid occupies his entire boyhood. In his youth, how many years can his

life be? The child walked with him to this day, and he grew up carrying the

child on his back, holding it in his arms, holding it in his hands, and the

positions on his knees and back are all his own.

"I bought the skateboard, but it's a bit dangerous. Tell me when you play, I

have to watch it." Xia Ye said, "Baby, I filled you up with the piggy bank at

home."

"Ok?"

"You can take it anytime in the future, it will never be empty."

The child behind laughed, not knowing what he was doing, and after a while he

stretched out his hand from behind, clenched it into a fist and gave it to

him, "Brother, look."

Xia Ye looked down, the boy's hand slowly opened, and he drew a small star in

his palm with a luminous pen.

The person on his back dispelled the last separation and held him

affectionately, as they did every day in the past: "Brother, I'caught' a small

star for you, okay?"

Xia Ye laughed, "It looks good."

He has a star, he held it in his arms when he was a child, and when he was big

on his back, he would hold it in his palm to protect his life.
