Seven
Zhao Yali dragged me into the army compound and followed a holly path to a small courtyard.
There is a small two-story building in the small courtyard, which is divided into two, and there is a courtyard on each side. It seems that there are two families living in this building.
Zhao Yali pushed open the fence door of the courtyard and led me inside.
There is a tall grape trellis in the yard, and it is winter, and the shelves are crawling with dry vines.
I followed Zhao Yali into the room, and she took out a pair of slippers from behind the door and threw them in front of me: "Come, change into slippers." ”
I said casually, "Thanks, no." ”
In my house, I don't have the habit of going into the house to change my shoes.
Zhao Yali pulled me aside, pointed to the slippers on the ground, and signaled me to change them.
I smiled and changed into slippers as she asked, but what made me very embarrassed was that there was a hole in the big toe of my right sock.
Zhao Yali smirked, and I shrank my right foot back in embarrassment.
Zhao Yali said, "It's okay, I'll help you make up for it later." ”
I hurriedly waved my hand: "No, no! Go back and ask my sister to make up. ”
Zhao Yali approached me with a bad smile: "By the way, I'm older than you, you have to call me sister!" ”
I was not yet six years old when I was in elementary school, and the months were small, so most of my classmates in the class were older than me.
I followed her to the living room and sat down on the couch, and Zhao Yali went to pour me water.
The living room was huge, bigger than my house combined. The floor is a wooden floor made of wooden strips, and walking on it will make a banging sound. On the walls hang portraits of leaders, as well as maps of the world and China.
Zhao Yali brought a cup of tea and put it in front of me and said, "My father has left the company, and my mother will not come back at noon." I'll make you what you want to eat. ”
Hearing that her parents were not at home, I suddenly relaxed a lot, so I quipped, "Can you eat the food you cook?" Listen to other zhiqing said, you make stickers can nail nails, haha"
Zhao Yali glanced at me and squeezed my face with both hands: "Nonsense, nonsense! The food I cook is delicious, delicious! ”
I couldn't stop eating and said, "Delicious, delicious!" Delicious all over the world! ”
Zhao Yali let go of her hand and rubbed her hand on my face again.
Suddenly, she burst out laughing.
I asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
She said, I think of your baked sweet potatoes, smashed in the face of the little ruffian, like, hahaha! ”
I laughed with her.
She stopped smiling, looked at me and said, "Thanks to you, or I'd have to lose my hat again." I've lost several of them, and I can't tell my dad. ”
I looked at her pretty face and said, "Your turban is very beautiful, why do you want to wear a military hat?" ”
She pouted, "Hum! I like it. ”
Suddenly I thought of He Pengbo, so I said, "I don't know where He Pengbo ran, this boy ran really fast, like stepping on a hot wheel." ”
Zhao Yali rolled her eyes: "Don't mention him, when chasing the little leper bicycle, he didn't run as fast as me, but when he ran away, he ran in front of us, huh!" ”
I remembered He Pengbo's running posture, thought it was funny, and imitated it in the house.
I said, "When he chases a bike, he must be running like this..." I lowered my head, clasped my fists in both hands, and took one step at a time like a mountain.
"Yes, yes! That's it. Zhao Yali laughed.
Then I said, "When you run away, it's like this..." I held my head high, my hands palms, swinging as fast as chopping vegetables, and my legs were tightly clenched, indeed like stepping on a hot wheel.
Zhao Yali smiled and collapsed on the sofa.
At noon, she did not cook and ran to the compound canteen to buy a few dishes.
When she went to the cafeteria to eat, I came to her room.
The room was clean, tidy, simple and clear, and the quilt on the bed was actually folded squarely, with edges and angles.
I was surprised to see this, this is a girl's room, it is clearly a military barracks!
I walked to the table and saw the photos pressed under the glass panels, most of which were single photos of Zhao Yali, and her enthusiasm and cheerfulness were her personality.
There was also a group photo of our class, but this photo was much larger than mine, a foot square, which must have been magnified by her remake.
There were more than thirty students in our class, and once this photo was enlarged, everyone looked clear and vivid.
I suddenly realized that I was actually in color in the photo, which was so eye-catching in this black and white photo.
This must have been done by Zhao Yali, who was idle enough to color me. But don't say, the color is still very uniform, very good-looking.
Zhao Yali returned, put the food she had returned on the table, and took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet to two glasses.
She raised her glass and looked at me, and I thought she was going to give some speech, so I raised her glass and listened carefully.
But she blinked her eyes for half a day, but she didn't say a word. The two of us looked at each other and couldn't help but "poof" and laugh.
She suppressed her laughter and said, "What do I say?" I...... I don't know. ”
"Then don't say it, cheers!"
So we touched glasses and drank the wine in our glasses.
The wine was soft and sweet and sour, and soon we were finished with a bottle.
Zhao Yali's face is like a peach blossom, very cute. She took off her cotton jacket to reveal a white turtleneck sweater, which was extremely slim and showed a graceful posture.
We talked about school, teachers, classmates, all kinds of interesting things, and laughed from time to time.
When we talked about our production team and our loess slope, our mood suddenly became heavy.
Zhao Yali went to open another bottle of wine and silently poured two glasses.
We both raised our glasses, looked at each other, touched them gently, and silently drank the wine out of the glass, without speaking for half a day.
Zhao Yali suddenly lay on my shoulder and cried: "I don't like it there, I don't want to go back." ”
In fact, I also want to cry, why should I like that place?
I wanted to comfort her, but I didn't know what to say, so I had to pat her on the back.
She suddenly pushed me away and said, "Don't say it, drink!" So there were two more drinks.
We both talked in a daze, and when we talked about the excitement, she pinched my face with her hand.
I said unhappily, "Why are you pinching me?" ”
She smiled and said, "I love to pinch people's faces when I'm excited, no way, haha!" ”
As the phone rang, Zhao Yali picked up the phone from the coffee table and clasped it to her ear: "Hey, where?" ”
Listening, she jumped up: "Good! You bring her here, thank you! ”
She put down the phone, hugged me, reached out and pinched my face again, and said happily: "Xiao Hui is here!" Xiao Hui is coming! ”
"Huh? Who's coming? "I don't believe my ears.
"Xiao Hui is here!"
"Really? Great, great! I also jumped up, excited to walk back and forth around the house, overflowing with impatient excitement.
Zhao Yali suddenly calmed down and looked at me coldly: "Xiao Hui is here, why are you more excited than me?" ”
I controlled my emotions and replied, "No, I'm happy for you." ”
Not long after, there was a knock at the door, Zhao Yali ran to open the door, and a soldier sent Xiao Hui over.
Xiao Hui was wearing a blue coat, a red scarf around her neck, and two white cloth pockets in her hands.
Xiao Hui didn't expect me to be here, and when she saw me, she was very surprised, blinked her eyes and asked, "You... Are you here too? ”
I took two steps forward, and I really wanted to reach out and hug her, but I controlled it and only said, "Xiao Hui, why are you here?" ”
Zhao Yali pushed me and smiled: "Look at what you asked, it is really not level." ”
Zhao Yali helped Xiao Hui take off her coat, and she did not expect that Xiao Hui also wore a turtleneck sweater, but the color was goose yellow, light and fresh.
Compared with Zhao Yali, Xiao Hui's figure is more tall.
The three of us sat down on the couch.
Zhao Yali took Xiao Hui's hand and said, "When I left you an address, I thought you wouldn't come, I didn't expect you to really come to see us, I like to kill you, Xiao Hui!" ”
Xiao Huibaijing's face was red, and he said, "I'm bored in the village, somehow, I miss you very much." I told my dad that he wanted to come into town to see you, and my dad sent me over. ”
She kept looking at me when she said this.
"What about your dad?" I asked.
"He went to a relative's house, oh, these two bags of oil and millet, my father asked you to carry them for you to taste."
Zhao Yali pulled Xiao Hui up and down to examine and exclaimed, "Xiao Hui, your sweater is really beautiful, did you knit it?" ”
"Hmmm, Xiao Hui nodded.
Zhao Yali said again: "Your figure makes me envious of death, how long!" ”
"Sister Yali, you are beautiful." Xiao Hui replied with praise.
"Go, go to my house." Zhao Yali pulled Xiao Hui into her room and closed the door.
From time to time, there was laughter from inside.
After a while, Zhao Yali pulled Xiao Hui out and stood in the middle of the living room.
"Wow!" My eyes widened in surprise and I looked at Xiao Hui in a daze.
Is this still my little favor on the loess mound? This is clearly the princess of my dreams!
Xiao Hui wore a light blue dress, the long skirt was dragged to the foot, the semi-round neckline revealed the white skin, and the bright eyes and half-open red lips were all swaying with spring breeze smiles.
I was really stupid.
Zhao Yali shook her head and exclaimed, "Xiao Hui, you are really so beautiful, you go to the movie." ”
"Sister Yali, this is all dressed up by you." Xiao Hui said politely.
"This dress was worn by my mother when she was young, and then she gave it to me, and I can't wear it, so I gave it to you."
"I don't want to, Sister Yali, I can't wear it!"
The two pushed back for a while, but Xiao Hui couldn't help Zhao Yali and had to agree.
After changing our skirts, we sat down on the couch and talked for a while.
Xiao Hui suddenly found the wine bottle on the table, frowned and asked me: "You guys drank?" ”
I nodded.
Zhao Yali said: "Yes, I am here to thank Xiang Dong, you don't know what happened to us this morning, it is so funny!" ”
Zhao Yali told Xiao Hui about snatching the military hat in the morning, and Xiao Hui also smiled and leaned forward and backward after listening to it.
Whether they were talking or laughing, Xiao Hui's eyes never left me, as if she had a lot to say to me.
The time passed quickly, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon.
I got up and said, "I have to go home, my parents are not in good health, I can't go back too late." With that, I looked at Xiao Hui reluctantly.
Xiao Hui also stood up and said to me, "I also went to see your parents, and I brought them some millet." ”
Zhao Yali said, "Then I will also go, I haven't been to your house yet?" ”
Xiao Hui said busily: "Sister Yali, don't go, after a while your parents will come back and don't see you, you should be anxious again." ”
"Then come back at night, sleep with me, and I'll talk to you." Zhao Yali instructed.
"Oh, it depends, Sister Yali. I have relatives in town. ”
I left Zhao Yali's house with the bag of millet and Xiaohui.
On the way, Xiao Hui bowed her head and did not speak, I went to pull her hand, and she gently threw it away.
I asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Why haven't you written a letter for such a long time?"
I bowed my head and didn't speak.
During this time, there was a lot of things going on in the house, and it was a mess, which made me feel very confused, and even if I wrote a letter, I didn't know what to say.
After walking for a while, Xiao Hui looked at me obliquely and said, "I see that Zhao Yali is very good to you, and you like her a lot, right?" ”
"What a thing." I deny it.
"I saw a group photo of your class at her house, and you were special and colorful. Zhao Yali is very kind to you. ”
"That's what she's playing with."
"You don't understand women," Xiao Hui said meaningfully, "if a woman likes a man, she won't make fun of it." ”
I paused for a moment and said, "That's her business, it's none of my business." ”
Xiao Hui smiled: "I see that you and her are still quite a match, both are from the city." ”
I laughed bitterly and said slowly, "If you go to my house and look at it, you will know that the people in the city are different from the people in the city." ”
In the evening, we came to my house, crossed the streets and alleys, getting narrower and narrower, and finally found my house at the end of the alley, where my father's shelf car was parked in front of the door.
I led Xiao Hui through the door and saw the whole family gathered around the table waiting for me to come back for dinner, only my sister was feeding my little nephew.
The low room is very small, and when you put down a dining table, you can't turn around.
Seeing me return with a beautiful girl, the whole family stood up in amazement.
The mother stuttered with her hands outstretched and asked, "This... Who is this girl? ”
Without waiting for me to answer, Xiao Hui bowed to my parents and said, "Uncle and aunt are good, sister is good!" ”
My sister guessed it at once, and she pointed at Xiao Hui and said to me, "This... Is that the girl you're talking about? ”
I nodded, "Hmm. ”
My sister exclaimed, "What a beautiful girl! Quick, sit down. ”
The family had a happy meal.
After dinner, Xiao Hui helped her sister clean up and prepare to say goodbye.
My sister stopped her and said, "You see it's so dark, don't leave, sleep with me tonight." ”
Xiao Hui looked at me, and I nodded.
My family lived in a large courtyard, originally only two houses side by side, and later built a small room in the open space in front of the door, the room was not large, only a bed and a desk could be put down. I live in this little room.
My sister was called by my parents to speak, and Xiao Hui came to my room.
I pulled Xiao Hui to sit on the edge of the bed, looked into her eyes, and just wanted to say something intimate, she held her mouth down.
The smile on her face slowly retracted, and she asked coldly, "Why do you want to drink with Sister Yali?" ”
"Didn't she tell you?" Thank me. ”
"Just drinking?"
"Well, drinking, chatting..."
"Everything else?" Xiao Hui squinted at me.
"Gone. What's wrong with you? "I'm a little confused.
"I can see Sister Yali crying, and her eyes are swollen. Did you bully her? Xiao Hui stared at me deadly to see if I would lie.
"Will I bully her? Haha, she's not bad if she doesn't bully me. I instinctively touched my face, remembering Zhao Yali's habit of pinching people.
The smile returned to Xiao Hui's face, it was so gentle, so cute.
Xiao Hui leaned on my chest, and I hugged Xiao Hui tightly. The two of us kept talking and talking, telling the thoughts and bitterness of this time.
Xiao Hui lifted her head and kissed my cheek, and I trembled like an electric shock, looking down at Xiao Hui.
Her pretty face was soaked with redness, her bright eyes were full of tenderness, and I involuntarily kissed her lips.
She didn't push me and let me kiss freely.
……
Suddenly, outside the door came her sister's shout: "Xiang Dong, Xiang Dong, Xiao Hui is in the house, right?" ”
Xiao Hui immediately pushed me away, stood on the ground, wiped his mouth with his hand, and his face turned red.
I hurriedly agreed: "Sister, Xiao Hui is in the house, are you in trouble?" ”
"It's not early, it's time to rest, and I'll let Xiao Hui come to me."
"Okay, sister."
Xiao Hui covered her chest and said in horror, "If your sister comes in and sees it, she will throw away the dead!" She reached out and slapped me.
I pulled her in my arms and wanted to kiss her. She pushed me away and said, "No, I have to go, or your sister should come and call again." ”
I reluctantly let Xiao Hui go.
This night, I slept very soundly.
The next day, just after dawn, my door was knocked on, and my sister whispered to me outside the door: "Xiang Dong, Xiang Dong, hurry up, hurry up!" ”
I didn't move, shouting at the door: "What's wrong, sister?" ”
"Hurry up, Xiao Hui... Xiao Hui may... Let's go! ”
"Ah!"
I jumped out of bed, couldn't put on a piece of clothing, and immediately pulled open the door.
My sister came in, hurriedly closed the door, and handed me a note: "Look! ”
I unfolded the note that read, "Xiaodong, thank you for the warm reception of your parents and sister." In the future, we will be good friends, good sisters and brothers. I left without saying goodbye to your parents and sister, and I'm sorry for them..."
I didn't believe it was true, and I pushed my sister away and rushed into her room.
Sure enough, the room was empty.
I really don't understand, why did Xiao Hui leave? Why would she write such a note and then leave without saying goodbye?
I coldly asked my sister, "What did you say last night when you were very young?" ”
The sister said timidly, "Didn't you say anything?" Just talk about our family's situation..."
I understood, I understood my sister's thoughts, and I also understood Xiao Hui's thoughts.
I sighed, looked at my sister and said sadly, "Alas! Oh my good sister! ”
I turned and went into the house, packed up my things, and said to my sister, "I'll go find her!" ”
After saying that, I slipped into the cold winter morning fog.
