I used to cry in the middle of the night, wanting to talk to you about life

Chapter 21 So what, love (7)
28
After returning from Shiyan Lake, classmate Ke Yiyi fell into two root causes: one is to bring garlic cloves with him, because Xu Ning said that this thing can drive away ghosts and evil spirits.I was also free that night, and told her ghost stories all night, and in the end even I was scared.Xiaoyi has been hiding in my arms and listening carefully, her whole body is cold, and then she even cried.My wife cried, and I quickly coaxed: "Mother, if you are afraid, just tell me. If you tell me you are afraid, I will not tell you!" Xiaoyi sobbed and said, "Of course I am afraid. I am most afraid of ghosts and monsters." Ah, but I see that you want to talk so much, so I will listen to you, but you can't finish listening to it after you say it, and I can't hold it anymore..." Xiaoyi became more and more wronged as she spoke. , sobbing, "Stinky husband, how do you know so many ghost stories?"

What's more, Xiaoyi was very upset about my posting that they couldn't cook. She firmly believed that to be a good wife, she must "be able to get on the big bed and get off the kitchen".Since then, she reads recipes whenever she has time, Sichuan, Hunan, Shandong, Guangdong, everything, and is very serious, holding a red, yellow, blue and green highlighter to highlight the words "a little soy sauce, a little MSG" and so on. go.The most amazing thing is that after I bought the rice cooker, Ke Yiyi couldn't wait to use the rice cooker to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.Although I strongly objected, saying that the temperature of the rice cooker alone is not enough to scramble eggs, but Xiaoyi insisted that "it's up to people", and I could only let her do it.Classmate Ke Yiyi poured some oil into the rice cooker, connected it to the power source, and boiled the pot dry for half an hour, until the bottom of the pot was full of green smoke, and then beat eight eggs into a big bowl full of eggs. The liquid was poured into the pot, and only heard "Puchi...嗞嗞嗞嗞...咱咱咱嗡...咱咱...咱...咱...", and then there was no movement.After observing for a while, Xiao Yi finally decided to pick up the frying spoon and stir desperately, trying to fry the watery pool of egg liquid in the pot with the little remaining heat from the bottom of the rice cooker. After 15 minutes, Xiao Yi upset the egg. Pour the four sliced ​​tomatoes into the pot, stir, stir, stir, stir...

That day Xiaoyi was crying so much that she almost fainted, I coaxed her for a long time, "It's okay, my dear, it will be broken if the pot is broken, let's buy another one next month..."

These all happened in the spring of 2002, halfway through my college years.At that time, I had a girlfriend who loved me very much, a few buddies who shared the same taste, a rented house by the river by the Wanglu Bridge, a small stereo system and many CDs, and a smart car that I could watch but not ride. Motorcycles, there is a fat job to organize audiences, there is admiration from some juniors and sisters, there is a lot of time to squander, a good body, can play football, and does not have premature ejaculation.I had it all, I was so full, I was so full that I could realize how full I was right then and there.That day, after eating with my second child, I told them the story of Ke Yiyi scrambling eggs with an electric rice cooker. When we walked out of Yueyang Food City, immersed in the golden sunshine after lunch, I walked and walked. , a sense of contented happiness welled up spontaneously, and he laughed inexplicably.

The end of the term is coming soon, and Xiao Yi and I hide in our rented house all day and concentrate on reviewing.When reviewing, the two of us ignored each other. Xiaoyi liked to sit in front of the table, like a normal female college student, with her book spread out and a pen in her hand. There was a transparent plastic kettle next to it filled with boiled water.My review method is different from hers. I like to sit on the bed with my textbooks in my arms, and memorize the pages in silence. When I am tired from sitting, I will squat down. Fall asleep while lying down.Xiaoyi knows that I usually miss a lot of classes. If I want to pass the exam, I can only hope to hold the Buddha's feet temporarily, but holding the Buddha's feet also has to recite the scriptures. I am snoring while holding the Buddha's feet like this. God and man are angry together.

"Grandpa, you can't do this!" Xiaoyi pushed me awake, pinching my cheeks with both hands and said seriously, "You only reviewed for an hour today, and you have fallen asleep five or six times!"

"Did I sleep just now? No!" I opened my sleepy eyes vigorously, and refused to admit it, "I was reciting silently! I was asleep on the surface, but I was actually reviewing seriously with my eyes closed!"

"Impossible, you are snoring!"

"Did you fight?"

"Snoring! I wouldn't have noticed you were asleep if you didn't snore!"

"Are you sure it's not from the next door?"

"Fang! Peng!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I'm going to wash my face and come back and watch..."

I got out of bed and went out, went to the public water room on this floor, drenched my head with cold water, dried my hair, after a while, I felt refreshed again, turned around and went back to the room, holding the book " Advanced Mathematics" turned to the fifth page I saw before falling asleep, and yawned first.

"Grandpa, look first, and ask me if you don't understand anything." Xiaoyi patted my head distressedly.

"Okay!" I smiled at her, "Don't worry, I'm never ashamed to ask."

"You just got off, I'm your honorable wife!" Ke Yiyi patted me, and happily went back to his seat to read a book.

Then, not long after, I fell asleep again.

This kind of sleep is actually not considered sleep, but coma. It is a kind of self-protection behavior of people. This is the reason why people faint when they are in severe pain. Coma can protect themselves from feeling pain.It's the same with my sleep. When I face the thick theoretical textbook of "Advanced Mathematics", don't say I faint, just let me die.Of course, this kind of coma is very shallow, and I woke up with just a few touches, not to mention being hit hard on the face by a pillow... "Fang! Peng!" It was Xiaoyi's voice, and I slipped away After waking up, I saw Ke Yiyi standing by the bed with a serious expression, "You fell asleep again! Your hair is still wet! The sheets are all wet!"

"Hey...hehe..." I knew I couldn't deny it this time, so I could only beg for mercy with a smirk.

"Student Fang Peng, why don't you like studying so much!" Ke Yiyi said angrily.

As the saying goes, you don't hit someone in the face when you hit someone.Xiao Yi's words were like a steel needle, piercing my sore spot fiercely. I was a little embarrassed, ashamed, and even angry, so I decided to have a good talk with Xiao Yi.

To be honest, I am not a poor student.When I was in elementary school, I never made it out of the top five in my class. The head teacher held a class meeting and graded the whole class in front of everyone. There are three categories and ten grades. I belong to the "first-class second-class student" , and there are only eight people in total of "first-class first-class students" and "second-class first-class students".Although junior high school and high school are not as beautiful as in elementary school, their normal performance is still at the middle level of the class. One day, if they get bloody, they can even pass the exam above the middle level.My high school is a key point in Jiangsu Province. If I can rank in the middle of our school, I will basically rank in the top 200 in the city.

But my dream at the time was to be admitted to the Beijing Film Academy to major in directing or drama. Although I am not an art student, I like this and I have been secretly preparing for this goal.But this is not my own decision. In the second semester of my third year of high school, I have to communicate this idea with my parents, because it involves professional exams and I have to go to Beijing.Unexpectedly, my father, who has always been arbitrary, agreed without hesitation: "You can review at ease, and I will help you watch when and where to take the test!" He was so straightforward that I was embarrassed, and I knew he wanted me to learn more. Economics or law, it will be easier to find a job in the future.

So I entrusted all this matter to my dad, and devoted myself to reviewing, except occasionally asking my dad "Do you need to arrange tutoring for professional courses", and then he used various reasons to perfunctory.Until one day at lunch, my dad said to me very calmly: "The professional exams of the Film Academy are over, and you can take the college entrance exam with peace of mind."

"Ah?" Xiaoyi covered her mouth and shouted, "Your father lied to you?"

"Yeah." I nodded.

I just heard a bang in my head, and then I didn't know anything, no, I didn't faint, I just lost my response to the outside world, but I still said "oh", then went to eat, and went to sleep after eating I took a nap for a while and slept very deeply. I didn't have any dreams. After waking up, I rode my bike to school again. There was no accident.I feel that I can't let my future be buried for my dreams. I have to go to a better school, find a better job in the future, and live a good life.

When filling out the application for the college entrance examination, my dad asked me if I had any opinions. I said, "No opinion, you can do whatever you want." Then my dad took out a piece of paper with the names of various schools and majors written on it, and put the contents on my Copy the volunteer form.After copying, my dad showed me the volunteer form, and saw that all the majors were "1. Finance, 2. Law; do you obey the deployment? Obey".

I obey. I obey.

All Erben volunteers are in Nanjing, because my dad and my class teacher have the same view on me, "It's no problem to take the Erben exam, and I can go to the best school in Erben".But they all felt that it was unlikely that I would be admitted to the IBA, and they could only choose some schools in Jiangsu where few people applied and the admission threshold was basically the IBA score line.My dad chose one book and one choice for me - Nanhu University, in Changsha, "It's so far away from home", I said silently in my heart.After more than a month, I was admitted to Nanhu University.Knowing that I was going to Changsha to go to university, my mother and grandma were crying at home. My father was sitting on the sofa, both happy and regretful. He read the small note recording my grades for a long time, and then sighed: "Fang Peng, even if you can get this score in a mock exam, I won't fill in your volunteers like this!" My college entrance examination score was more than 60 points higher than the score line in a book. That year, I filled out the volunteers after the college entrance examination. , It was the first year of the comprehensive exam, and everyone's estimated scores were not very accurate, so few people in Jiangsu dared to apply for Peking University. My college entrance examination scores passed the admission line of Peking University that year.

During the summer vacation, my head teacher called me and said that he was inviting me and a few classmates who were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University to go back to school to give a report to the new senior three students. Change your destiny through hard work."The class teacher was afraid that I would have a grudge against this topic, so he added seriously: "It's not that you are a poor student, but that you are the most outstanding student in our class." I agreed, but I didn't go on the day of the report. Anyway, there were no mobile phones back then, and no one knew where I was.

On the night when I was confirmed to be admitted to Nanhu University, I finally let go of all my burdens, biting a towel and crying silently.

"Little poor..." Xiaoyi's eye circles were red, "But since you have already attended this school, you must graduate, right?"

"Of course not, so I'm reviewing now! Student Ke Yiyi, you see, I was originally partial to subjects, good at Chinese and poor in mathematics, but now I study finance, the Chinese class is gone, and only mathematics is left, which is still "Advanced Mathematics" "! I haven't learned low mathematics well, so it's fatal to ask me to learn advanced mathematics?" I shook the "Advanced Mathematics" textbook in my hand and said, "It's painful, painful! It's so painful, but I'm still here see?"

"You didn't look! You were sleeping!"

"I don't want to sleep either, but I fell asleep inadvertently!"

"Well... how about this?" Little Yi Teng jumped into my arms, "As long as you study hard and don't sleep, I will reward you!"

"What's the reward?" I smiled and put my face in front of Xiao Yi, and kissed her.

"Reward...um," Xiao Yi pouted her mouth again, thinking seriously, "Uh...uh...help me think together!"

We looked at each other and racked our brains. After 1 minute, Xiao Yi patted my thigh again and stood up. He said extremely depressed: "I really shouldn't have agreed to be with you so early... Well, look, I don't know what to do now." There is nothing to reward you." After hearing this, I almost died from laughing, Xiao Yi rushed forward and suppressed me who was lying on the bed laughing wildly, "Stop laughing, I thought of it, listen to me!  … Stop laughing and listen to me seriously!"

"Okay, okay, don't laugh anymore, don't laugh anymore." I suppressed my laughter and turned over to face classmate Xiao Yi.

"Well... didn't you say you wanted your mother to teach me how to cook last time?" Xiaoyi reached out and tapped my nose, "As long as you study obediently and don't snooze, I will go home with you this summer vacation and learn from my auntie." cook!"

"Really?" I sat up.

"En!" Ke Yiyi nodded seriously.

The exam went smoothly, Ke Yiyi has always been excellent in grades, as for me, I can't even cope with writing and copying too badly.In particular, the boss of our school's printing agency has learned to be smart. Whenever a student goes to the printing agency to print a small copy of the cheat sheet, he will print an extra copy and sell it at a higher price in the store.We all bought these ant word cheat sheets in sets, which are labor-saving and detailed, so that there are several subjects, I don’t know why I finished copying them early, and I checked several times for typos.

Xiaoyi fulfilled her promise and decided to go home with me.Of course, before taking Xiaoyi home, we each called home to ask our parents for instructions.My mother answered the phone, I chatted casually first, and when I was able to hang up the phone, I said to my mother: "Mom, I will bring a friend home to play for a few days during the summer vacation. After all, Director Lu is a person who has seen the world, and his reaction was calm, "Okay, come on, mom will cook something delicious for you." I was overwhelmed by my mother's calmness, "Oh, then Okay!...Then I'm going to self-study, goodbye, mom!"

Five minutes after I hung up the phone, my cell phone rang again. It was my mother calling. After I connected, the voice on the other side was unsteady: "Son, you just said that you brought friends back, is it a boy or a girl?" ?”

"Yes... it's a woman."

"Okay, okay! Welcome! What's your name?"

"It's...it's called Ke Yiyi."

"Okay, okay, where are you from?"

"Northern...Peking people."

"Good good good! How tall?"

"mom……"

"It's okay, I'll talk about it when you come back... When will you arrive?"

"It's almost this Saturday!"

"Okay, okay, what does she like to eat?"

"She... doesn't pick."

"Okay, okay, then I'll clean up her room and wait for you to come! Bye!" Then, my mother... hung up the phone.

Xiaoyi's phone call is not so complicated. She told her parents that she will participate in the school's "Three Going to the Countryside" activity this summer, and her parents are very supportive.

As a native of Beijing, Ke Yiyi, the farthest place he has ever been to in his life is Changsha, followed by Tianjin.Because she flies to and from Changsha, so far, Ke Yiyi has not experienced a journey of more than two hours.This time when I went to my house, she followed me to take a train without a seat for an hour to Zhuzhou, and then took a hard seat for 16 hours to Nanjing, and finally transferred to a car and sat for three hours before returning to the hometown where I was born and raised. ——Huai'an.When she came out of Huai'an Station, Xiaoyi had already vomited everything in her stomach, and was so weak that she walked with hair straight.

"Grandpa, where do you live?" Classmate Xiao Yi lay on my shoulder and couldn't walk anymore.

"My family lives..." I was stunned for a moment, "I moved to a new house last month, and I haven't been there yet."

"Grand..." Xiaoyi completely collapsed. Before she lost her temper, I hurriedly took a taxi, stuffed the child in, and called home. Fortunately, the driver knew the place and went smoothly. Delivered us locally.As soon as the car entered the community, I heard my mother's voice. When I looked up, my mother was calling my name at the window and waving at us vigorously, causing the old men and women downstairs to enjoy the shade to follow her reputation. Some even looked in the wrong direction.

I also waved to my mother, and led Xiaoyi out of the car. The taxi behind me honked desperately, "The suitcase! The suitcase!" He took it out of the trunk of the taxi, and frantically looked for the door of the unit.After entering the corridor, my parents had already opened the door and stood at the door to welcome us.

"This is my classmate, named Ke Yiyi." I put the box on the ground and let out Xiao Yi who had been hiding behind me.
