When the last and biggest knot in his heart was untied, Yang Xiao's whole person's state had changed a lot.
She began to learn to treat Meng Yufan as a man (rather than a boy), she learned to take off the mask of the omnipotent strong woman in front of him, learned to show weakness, learned to rely on, and learned to act like a spoiled child - although Yang When laughing coquettishly for the first time, Meng Yufan was so shocked that her jaw was about to drop, and she wondered if she had been overwhelmed by a ghost - but all in all, the effect was very good.
That cypress branch was treasured by Yang Xiao. Later, she checked on the Internet and found that the cypress tree symbolizes a hundred years of good luck. In Meng's mother's hometown, this is the best blessing from the elders to the newlyweds.
The brocade box was placed by her at the head of the bed. The smell of cypress branches was very light and pure. Whenever she fell asleep, the faint aroma of pine wood would linger in her nose.
She told Don Sugar all what happened that day.
Tang Shuge went home to spend the New Year with his parents, and the two could only communicate by phone. Tang Shuge made a living by writing, and his emotions were more sensitive than ordinary people. After listening to her narration, Tang Shuge cried until he cried. Tens of thousands of her readers shed tears for this beautiful love.
Tang Shuge sobbed and said: "Xiaoxiao, I... hiccup, I can see it! There are only two sincere loves in this world that will never change, even if the sky falls, they will always exist! Always bright! !"
Yang Xiao was curious and asked her, "Which two loves?"
Tang Shuge replied: "One is you and Meng Yufan; the other is me and my idol!!!"
Yang Xiao: "..." She said helplessly, "Thank you for looking so highly."
…
During the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, Yang Xiao and Meng Yufan left their parents behind and played without any scruples for a whole week.
Every previous Spring Festival, Meng Yufan spent it at home or in the team, neither visiting relatives nor going out to play. He had nothing to do alone, except to play ball.
But now with Yang Xiao, everything is different. The lonely and monotonous Spring Festival suddenly became so lively.
They went to the temple fair.
There were so many people there that Yang Xiao was worried that he would get separated from Meng Yufan. However, when she arrived at the temple fair, she discovered that Meng Yufan was like a needle standing in the crowd. No matter how crowded the crowd was, she could see his head floating above the crowd as long as she raised her neck.
They stopped in front of the stall, and Yang Xiao heard an old aunt next to her calling her family, and said in her mouth, "There are so many people, why did you disappear in a blink of an eye? Where am I? I'm selling candied haws. The stall is here! What? I know there are many stalls selling candied haws here, but I am different here. There is a very tall person here! Very, very tall! You can see it when you come over!"
In the textbook, I only learned to carve a boat and ask for a sword. The behavior of the old aunt is completely to carve a person and ask for a sword!
The two of them stood beside the candied fruit stall for a long time, and they left silently until the old aunt's family came over.
When the matter is over, the clothes are gone, and the merit and fame are deeply hidden. Yang Xiao and Meng Yufan looked at each other and laughed at the same time, feeling that the red scarf on their chest became more colorful.
…
They went to the amusement park again.
During the Spring Festival, there are very few people in the amusement park, and the queue time for even the most popular items is only 20 minutes. It's a pity that Meng Yufan's height and weight are over the limit, and many amusement facilities cannot be played. But it doesn't matter, he can be in charge of being a human-shaped tripod and taking pictures of Yang Xiao.
Since graduating from high school, Yang Xiao has never been to an amusement park again. She let herself go and bought a huge bow headband that would sparkle at night. She also chose a more fancy color, forcing Meng Yufan to accompany her. She wears it together. They posed for a photo in front of the carousel, which showed two childish adults face-to-face, bows colliding in the sun.
The balloons in the amusement park are very beautiful. They are double-layered, the outer layer is transparent, and the inner layer is covered with glitter. Meng Yufan bought a big handful for Yang Xiao, walking on the road like a moving rainbow mushroom cloud. Yang Xiao said that he wasted money, but in a blink of an eye, she posted the photo of the balloon to her circle of friends, proudly showing off that it was given by her boyfriend.
When they left the amusement park at night, they couldn't take these balloons with them, so the two of them sneaked to the parking lot of the strollers and tied one to the handle of each stroller, hoping that this little surprise could make the children do it. Have a good dream.
…
They went to the neighboring city, where there is the only Ferris wheel standing on the bridge in Asia, it spans the Haihe River, and the transparent car slowly rotates on the disc. The weather was good that night. When it reached the highest point, you could look up at the stars in the sky, and you could also look down to see the sparkling fishing boats on the Haihe River.
They kissed at the nearest place to the sky, and in the distance, fireworks rose and exploded with a bang, hanging upside down in the night sky like a waterfall, turning into a new galaxy.
After getting off the Ferris wheel, they slipped to a nearby temple.
Even at night, the temple is still brightly lit with candles. It is said that this temple is very spiritual, and many local people come to worship.
The temples of Huacheng do not allow pilgrims to make offerings, but here is different, almost every pilgrim brings a large bag of fruits and melons. They handed the melons and fruits to the little master who was in charge of the incense. The little master used the offering tray to build the melons and fruits into a tall fruit tower, and staggered to the front of the hall.
The gods and buddhas who made clay sculptures of gold sand sat on the main hall and looked at the green fruits.
The new plate of fruit is brought up, and the old plate of fruit is removed. The masters put the offerings tainted with incense in front of the hall, and set up a welcome box next to them. Anyone can go up to pick up an apple or a persimmon.
It was the first time that Meng Yufan entered the temple to worship Buddha. He took it very seriously. He followed the example of other old pilgrims. He first knelt on the mat and worshiped. two apples.
There is no place to clean here, and he is not picky, rubbed directly on his body, and then gave the biggest one to Yang Xiao.
"Well, borrow flowers to offer Buddha."
Yang Xiao took it and bit his teeth lightly, leaving a shallow tooth mark on the big apple.
This is the juiciest, crispest and sweetest apple Yang Xiao has ever eaten in his life.
…
Later, they also went to the basketball hall.
It is not the basketball hall of Huada University, not the community basketball hall that can be seen everywhere on the streets, but the home basketball hall of the CBA Huacheng team.
During the Spring Festival, because there is no competition, it is not open to the public. Meng Yufan clawed at the glass door and looked inside with a longing look on his face.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, I have good news to share with you."
"what news?"
"The coach said... If nothing else, the qualifications for this CBA draft will be given to me."
"!!!"
The CBA draft is the only way for young Cuban players to advance to the CBA stadium. Registration starts in May every year, and the preliminary screening list is announced in July, but the real qualification competition often starts half a year in advance.
The number of places that each university team can apply for is extremely limited. For example, the Hwaseong University team has only one or two places per year. Their school is considered a strong Cuban team, and there are many excellent players in the team. Meng Yufan waited silently and actively fought for it. His hard work and dedication were noticed by the coach.
In the cuba regional qualifiers that ended in the second half of last year, Meng Yufan performed brilliantly and grew rapidly. Captain Liu Fangzhou has decided to hand over the baton to him after he graduates. Liu Fangzhou has signed up for the CBA draft for two consecutive years, but he has failed to return for two years. This time, he did not want to waste this precious quota on himself, and decided to fully recommend Meng Yufan.
Meng Yufan leaned on the door of the basketball hall and looked at the source of his courage: "Sister Xiaoxiao, when I win the mvp and get promoted to the cba, you must be there."
"I will." Yang Xiao promised, "I will not miss every game you play in the future."
…
On the last day of the holiday, Yang Xiao took Meng Yufan to a small handmade art shop.
There were not many stores that opened during the Spring Festival. Yang Xiao checked a series of lists on the Internet, called them one by one, and finally found a store that opened on the seventh day of the new year.
The shop is very small. In a narrow alley, there are a lot of crooked pottery at the entrance of the shop, all made by the customers themselves. Besides, there are tie-dye scarves, hand-knitted dream catchers, and DIY lipsticks. , Candles, etc., as long as they are DIY products, they are all within their business scope.
Meng Yufan didn't know why Yang Xiao brought him here - he was clumsy and couldn't make any exquisite crafts.
"No, we have to do this together."
Yang Xiao pressed him to the tool table and motioned the boss to bring up the DIY tools.
The boss brought something strange, a soft rubber mold, and some transparent "glue" that gave off a pungent smell.
"This is glue." Yang Xiao didn't let the boss introduce it, picked up the prepared glue bottle, shook it gently, and the viscous transparent liquid slowly flowed in it, "Pour it into the mold, you can make it It can be made into key chains, decorations, etc., and it can be released after setting. If you put these glitter powder next to it, you can make the work sparkle.”
Meng Yufan looked at the handicrafts displayed on the shelves around him, and immediately became interested: "Then what do we do? I think that the bear ornament is very cute, and the key chain of the little rabbit is also good... "
"No, we don't do those fancy things." Yang Xiao took out a small box from his bag and slowly unfolded it - there was a clump of cypress branches inside. She said, "A broken branch will always wither one day. I want to seal it up. Will you help me?"
Only then did Meng Yufan understand Yang Xiao's true intentions.
The cypress branches given by the Meng family's parents were extremely important to her, and she couldn't bear to see them wither each day, so she thought of a way to keep them forever.
She hoped that it could stay with her forever, just like Meng Yufan.
She took the two most complete clusters of needles at the top of the branches, carefully placed them in the mold, and then poured glue into the mold by Meng Yufan himself.
She chose a circle and a square pendant mold, each just a little bigger than a fingernail. The emerald green cypress needles are quietly suspended in the transparent glue, and its life is forever preserved in these two pendants.
Because of the small size of the work, it dries and peels off quickly. Yang Xiao put the square pendant on her necklace and landed on top of her heart; while the other round pendant was tied to the colorful rope of Meng Yufan's wrist, a cypress pendant. Clinging tightly to the boy's wrist, listening to the beat of his pulse.
When she tied the bracelet to Meng Yufan, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes focused.
Meng Yufan couldn't hold back, he lowered his head and kissed him.
