Chapter 9 Four

Because I have to practice dancing after school, I came back a little late today.On the slope of Xinghuamen, I still got used to standing for a while.The sky above the city wall is now light red. Will the sea also turn red at this time?I silently carried us to watch the sea again!Let's go to the sea!The golden-red sun rose from the sea, so can't it be said that the golden-red sun is falling from the sky now?By the way, I will write a book in the future, I want to distinguish the sky from the sea, I want to distinguish the good from the bad, I want to distinguish the lunatic from the thief, but now I can't distinguish anything.

I came down from the dirt slope, thinking while walking, and when I got to the door of my house, I sat down on the door pier. I didn't reach out to knock on the door in a daze, because I saw the picker who bought junk stopped at the door of the next door again.What about pickers?I couldn't help but raised my feet and walked towards the empty grass.At this time, in the open space in front of the door, I saw a man squatting under the big pagoda tree in the distance, and he didn't pay attention to me.I stepped into the broken brick wall, pushed aside the tall grass, and walked in step by step.

In the same old place, I saw him! It's you!He also squatted there, biting a piece of grass in his mouth.He looked behind me again.Beckon me to squat down too.As soon as I squatted down, my schoolbag fell to the ground.He whispered: School is over? Um. Why don't you go home? I guess you are here. How can you guess it?He tilted his head to look at me, I saw his face, very familiar. its me!I smile.I just feel like this in my heart, so I'm here, I don't really know what to guess, it's time for you to come! should i come?What do you mean by that?he asked in surprise. It doesn't make any sense!I also replied in surprise: You still have stories that you haven't told me!isn't it?

Yes, yes, we have to talk about credibility.He nodded and smiled.He leaned against the corner of the wall, and beside him was a big package wrapped in oilcloth, and he leaned on the big package, just like Song Ma was sitting on the top of her kang leaning on the pile of quilts. What story do you want to hear? Your brother's, yours. Okay, but let me ask you first, I don't know your name yet? Yingzi. Yingzi, Yingzi, he read softly, the name sounds nice.What is your grade in school? twelfth place. There are only twelve such smart students in the exam?You should take the first exam!It must have been fun that distracted you.

I laughed, how did he know that I was playful?How can I not play! He went on to say: I was playful when I was a child, and I didn't succeed in reading, and it was too late to regret it.My brother, he is a good student. He ranks first in the exam every year and has ambition.He said that after he grew up and graduated, he would go across the ocean to study.My God, with my worthless brother, who has no ability, how can I afford it!Ben Wotou, the three of us, my mother and I, often eat the last meal without the next meal!well!He sighed, it was a last resort to come to this step.Little sister, do you understand my words?

I seem to understand, but do not understand, just look straight at him.There was a pile of gum in the corner of his eyes, and his eyes were red, as if he hadn't slept yesterday, and he seemed to have cried. My blind old lady was crying blind because of my lack of prospects. She knows now that I have spent all my belongings and changed my ways to start a small business. She doesn't know anything else about me.My younger brother, who is obsessed with reading books, regards me as a good brother.No, I support my younger brother to study, and I only want to let him go across the ocean to study. Am I not a good person?Xiaoyingzi, you say I am a good person?bad guy?Um?

Good guy, bad guy, this is the thing I can't distinguish clearly, why did he come to ask me?I shake my head. Not a good person?He rolled his eyes and pointed to his nose. I still shook my head. Not a bad guy?He smiled, tears streaming from behind his eyeballs. I don't know what good people are and what are bad people, there are too many people, it's hard to tell them apart.I looked up at the sky and suddenly remembered.Can you tell the difference between the sea and the sky?We have a lesson book, and I'll read it to you. I recited the lesson "Let's Go to the Sea", and I read it slowly, while he tilted his head and listened carefully.I read a sentence, and he nodded.After reading it, I said:

Does the golden-red sun rise from the blue sea?But it also rises from the blue sky?I can't tell the sea from the sky, I can't tell the good from the bad. Yes, he nodded in agreement with me: little sister, you have a good mind, and one day you will be able to distinguish these things.In the future, when my brother is going to study abroad on a big ship, we will see him off so that he can see the sea and see how it differs from the sky. Let's go to the sea!Let's go to the sea!I was so happy to read it again. Yes, let's look at the sea, let's look at the sea, white sails are flying on the blue sea, what sun is there?

The golden sun, rising from the sea, I taught him sentence by sentence, and he liked the book very much. He said: Little sister, I will never forget you. I have never told anyone about my thoughts, even my brother. What is on his mind?Is what he said just now a matter of his heart?But I don't fully understand, and I don't bother to ask.It's just that his younger brother doesn't know how long it will take to go to foreign countries by ship?Anyway, we finally booked a date, and we booked a date to see the sea.
