The spring breeze was mixed with the cold when the snow melted. Pei Chuan closed the window and watched his father’s colleagues leave in a hurry. The ward still had the fragrance of flowers, mixed with the smell of hospital disinfectant, and it was suffocating. breath.
A middle-aged man came in from outside, pushing the door, cursing, "This ghostly weather, it's so cold in spring."
He didn't care when he saw Pei Chuan there, and he took a banana from the bedside and ate it: "Your dad's colleagues are somehow rich, why are they so shabby with gifts? Did they give me red envelopes?"
Pei Chuan's dark eyes looked at him quietly, and the man finally got a little uncomfortable and sat up from his seat.
Soon a woman came in with a lunch box. Pei Chunli was thirty-five this year, but her face was haggard like a forty-five person. She walked in and said quickly: "Xiaochuan is hungry. Aunty made some food for you and made chicken soup. Come over for dinner."
Pei Chuan walked over, and the woman opened the two lunch boxes, both of which were made for Pei Chuan. The boy was silent for a moment, and took his chopsticks to eat. His voice was low and hoarse: "Thank you, auntie."
"Hey, don't say thank you to the family, I'll do it here with your dad."
It was one o'clock in the afternoon, and Pei Chuan took the initiative to wash the lunch box after he finished eating.
Although Pei Chunli said that Pei Haobin was here to take care of her, Pei Chuan drank hot water after eating, and went to wipe his dad's hands and face.
Pei Haobin was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face.
Quiet in the ward, Pei Chuan looked at Pei Haobin's resolute face and whispered softly: "Dad, you see that you are almost dead for social security. What will the person you protect do for you?"
Of course Pei Haobin could not answer him.
Pei Chuan curled his lips coldly: "Being a good person is really...not worth it."
For this righteousness, I became disabled, and my mother remarried, and my father risked becoming a vegetative. Pei Chuan hasn't remembered what it is like to be a warm family for a long time.
Behind a wall, Pei Chunli and Liu Dong are upstairs.
Liu Dong was very dissatisfied: "You mother-in-law, I warn you that this kind of thinking is not allowed. It is difficult for Laozi to pay to support his son. You still want to take this little handicapped home. How much will it cost you to eat with one more mouth? do you know?"
Pei Chunli was too afraid to say anything when her husband yelled, and frowned, "You keep your voice down, don't be heard by Xiaochuan."
"What if you hear it! Anyway, don't even think about it."
"My brother is in this situation... Xiaochuan is not an adult. Someone must help take care of the children."
"Yes, you are great, you have to take care of you, the big deal is a divorce! What can he do when he grows up, and what do you expect him to be great? He can't live on, his own mother knows to take people away and wants you. Aunt worried
"Why are you so unconscionable? How much did my brother help you before? He introduced you to your current job. Xiaochuan is now alone, helping him take care of his children for several years."
"What's the matter!" Liu Dong yelled loudly, "If you have no money, you can't raise a waste person! If you don't talk about it, you will get a divorce. You can raise that kid."
Pei Chunli is not in good health, so she has not gone to work, so she has always been short of her husband at home. In the past, Pei Haobin was afraid of his sister’s bad life, so he took the initiative to introduce a good job to his brother-in-law. It seems that the living standards of Pei Chunli’s family are much better, but this also makes Liu Dong, the only money-making family in the family, even more arrogant, so much so. Pei Chunli had no right to speak at all.
The quarrel of the two people attracted the attention of countless people. Pei Chunli's face became thinner, and she no longer argued guiltily.

Bei Yao went home and told Zhao Zhilan that she was going to visit Uncle Pei. Zhao Zhilan sighed, "Police Officer Pei is a good person, and it's not easy for their family."
To put it bluntly, the divorce between Pei Haobin and Jiang Wenjuan was not revealed beforehand, and they left suddenly, which surprised all the neighbors.
Zhao Zhilan looked at the sky and persuaded her daughter, "I can't go today. I have to sit for two hours by bus to the People's Hospital. There will be no car after 10 o'clock in the evening. You have to go to school tomorrow, and we will be together after school. Go to the hospital to see him. I will prepare a gift tomorrow morning and come to pick you up at noon."
Although Bei Yao was worried, she also understood that it was indeed unrealistic to go now.
Fortunately, although she was rather vague about Uncle Pei's "life and death catastrophe" in her memory, she knew that Pei Haobin would definitely wake up in her previous life. Because when he was in high school, Pei Haobin got married again, and the woman he married also brought a child. Since then, Pei Chuan rarely goes home.
The next day Beiyao went to school. She came back late from her grandmother's house. Most of the students had already signed up yesterday. Beiyao had to pay the tuition and fees to the teacher by herself.
Zhao Zhilan carefully counted her tuition twice and put it in Bei Yao's pocket: "Don't lose it."
"I know mom."
At the end of February, the gorgeous pomegranate flowers on the campus still only had a large cluster of green branches and leaves. Bei Yao walked into the campus again. Most of the girls under her eyes were shorter than herself, and she finally had the feeling that she had reached the third year of junior high.
Bei Yao went to pay the money first, and a separate window was opened for insurance premiums. It was still early, and the teacher who paid the fee yawned: "What's your name? Which class? The insurance premium is 30. The tuition and miscellaneous fees should be paid by your teacher. "
After paying the insurance premium, Bei Yao went to the classroom to put a schoolbag. There was only one male student in the classroom who was studying hard. He was the monitor of their 7th class. Although he was very hard at school, he always failed in the exam.
The squad leader was immersed in his own world, but did not find Bei Yao came in.
Bei Yao didn't bother him, and went straight to the teacher's office. She saw that the door hadn't opened yet, and the teacher hadn't come at this point. The classroom office is on the second floor, and the plane tree sprouts and stretches out in the early morning.
Bei Yao looked down at her watch, the teacher should be coming soon, so she didn't go back to the rushing classroom either.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, a man with a briefcase went upstairs.
"Ms. Zeng."
Zeng Ming saw that a girl about fourteen or five years old, wearing a simple bean-green jacket, a pair of jeans underneath, the air blowing her bangs by the morning breeze, there was an inexplicable tranquility and beauty.
He reacted for a long while, and said with surprise: "Bei Yao?"
Bei Yao couldn't laugh and cry. Everyone who saw him had the reaction of Teacher Zeng. I was amazed at first, and then my brain was slow to react for a few beats, and it was very difficult to associate myself with the name "Bei Yao".
"Teacher Zeng, I'll pay the tuition."
"Wait a minute, the teacher opens the door, come in."
Teacher Zeng teaches Chinese, and his common problem is babbling: "Bei Yao, you did a good job in the exam last semester. The teacher looked at it and kept the score. If you want to take the first, third, and sixth high school, you are relatively stable. The main reason is to put your mind on the high school entrance examination. , Don’t be so nervous, and your geography is not very good, and you have some partial subjects. If you have time, communicate with teachers and classmates."
"Thank you Teacher Zeng."
Bei Yao knew her situation, she was third in the class, sixty points lower than the first Pei Chuan.
The name Pei Chuan is well-known throughout the third year of junior high. He is firmly ranked first in the grade, with full scores in science, and his total score is a full forty points behind the second grade. Bei Yao could only sigh with excitement when she opened up.
When Bei Yao was gone, Teacher Zeng pulled out a certificate from the drawer and frowned.
~
At half past seven, the classmates came one after another.
When Hua Ting walked into the classroom sleepily, she found that everyone was looking at the third table—that was her and Bei Yao's seats.
So that Hua Ting followed dullly: "...!"
In the early spring of February, everything awoke, and the tall sycamore leaves were condensed with morning dew. The girl was sitting in the third row, looking down at English reading. The long eyelashes are lightly drooping, and the lips are round and lovely. The pale white skin reveals the softness of the girl's morning temperature.
Hua Ting's first reaction was, where did this little fairy come from? This is too delicate.
Then his head became sober.
This is what she is at the same table, her facial features can see her original appearance, but she has completely faded away from the childishness of a female doll, and she has completely turned into a girlish appearance.
Bei Yao lifted the broken hair beside her ears, and raised her eyes to see Hua Ting standing aside with her mouth half open. She smiled slightly: "Hua Ting, good morning."
Hua Ting's heart was swiped by the'fairy smiling at me', and she stubbornly replied: "Morning, good morning."
After reacting, Hua Ting took the seat and looked at Bei Yao with an incredible look: "Are you really Bei Yao?"
Beiyao got used to seeing many such gazes early in the morning. She smiled and asked, "Doesn't it look like?"
"The image is still the same, but... the feeling is completely different." Hua Ting exclaimed, "My vision in elementary school is indeed correct. You are more beautiful than Chang Xue when you grow up."
Hua Ting was a bit embarrassed by her silly reaction just now, but after seeing all the stunned, confused, stunned, and stunning eyes around, Hua Ting was overwhelmed with joy.
It's no shame if you can't react by more than yourself.
Hua Ting vaguely heard the voice of the girl behind: "Bei Yao lost weight all at once and became so beautiful."
"Yeah, she is white and her legs are thin, so I really want to lose weight."
This kind of beauty value is too shocking, and everyone subconsciously goes to see Fang Minjun, the former "class flower" in the class.
Fang Minjun took out a book, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't mind as much as she thought. A long time ago, she looked at Bei Yao's outstanding facial features and worried that there would be such a day, but this day has really come, and Fang Minjun felt that it was the most fair that God gave a girl like Bei Yao a beautiful appearance.
Shang Mengxian looks good but can't do anything to make people feel bad.
~
Pei Chuan came to the school in the early morning chill. Before entering the classroom, he heard the boy coming from the toilet saying Bei Yao's name.
"I really think she is more beautiful than the previous Shang Mengxian..."
"I feel so too."
When the boys saw Pei Chuan, they stopped talking, and the air was quiet for a moment. Without squinting, Pei Chuan continued to walk into the classroom.
Pei Chuan’s ears are amazing, and he almost heard them say at the door—
"He's Bei Yao's neighbor, isn't he? You know him well?"
"Don't think so wretched, Shang Mengxian said before that he didn't like him, let alone Bei Yao."
Pei Chuan's expression was faint, he stood at the door and looked up.
At that time, the morning sun was hanging in the sky, and Bei Yao, who hadn't seen her for a long time, held her chin to read. The classroom was too quiet, and she just sat, and she was more attractive than the whole early spring.
This spring came late this year, and Xu was the seventh spring. The girl quietly went to show her hospitality by her side. She seemed to feel something, and when she looked up, Pei Chuan ran into a pair of Qing Lingling's glazed eyes.
The pair of Myolie smiled when they saw him, with unique clarity and tenderness.
Pei Chuan.
A good new year.
He dangled his eyes for a while with that expression, and after a long time he lowered his eyes, and Pei Chuan's lips paled by two points. When he sat down in his seat, he gently closed his eyes, and an unspeakable bitterness and sorrow filled his heart.
When she grew up, she was much better than he could imagine and dream of.
Any words to describe her would feel pale and powerless.
When she grew up, she was no longer the little girl who was so pitiful and painful and wanted to cry when she was a child, but he was still Pei Chuan back then. Cold-hearted, crippled huddled in a dark place.
She was in the sun, and he was already in an abyss that couldn't be seen.
During the early self-study, Pei Chuan didn't read the book, but he didn't look at Bei Yao blankly like other classmates.
As soon as the bell rang after class, he closed his book and went downstairs.
Zeng Ming is preparing lessons in the office.
"Ms. Zeng."
"It's Pei Chuan."
Pei Chuan answered and said calmly: "You called me during the vacation and asked if I would accept the transfer to the third middle school. Something happened to my family and refused. Later, I thought about it seriously and I can't let the school and you down. Can I still go to the third middle school?"
Zeng Ming was stunned. When he called Pei Chuan, the boy refused. He thought he had other schools that he wanted to take. After all, he didn’t have the right to choose like a unified recruit. He didn’t expect that Pei Chuan was just Because there is something in the family, I didn't think about it clearly.
"Of course you can. The watch is here with the teacher. I haven't formally contacted there yet. It's too late. Are you ready to go to the third middle school?"
"Think about it."
The young man took the form with his slender and thin hand: "Thank you teacher." He paused and said, "Teacher, my dad was injured at work and is now unconscious in the hospital. Since he has been transported, can I not come to school? To take care of him?"
"Teacher, I ask you one last thing, don't tell the students that the school I want to recommend is the third middle school."
Pei Chuan walked out of the office and looked down at the materials in his hands. The daffodils blooming on the campus are unparalleled and beautiful.
He still remembered that Bei Yao said a year ago that she volunteered to fill the sixth high school entrance examination because the sixth high school is close to home and the atmosphere is good.
Pei Chuan took the form, didn't even return to the classroom, and walked outside the school gate.
It's a pity that he might not be able to contaminate her anymore.
She herself probably didn't know how hiring she was now. Taking advantage of her remaining conscience, he still didn't drag her to hell.
Such a girl will be spoiled no matter who she is with in the future.
~
Bei Yao found that the front row had been empty all the time. She frowned in confusion. She finally came back and hadn't greeted Pei Chuan yet.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhilan was waiting for her outside the school after school in the afternoon.
It was only five o'clock at this time, and Zhao Zhilan was carrying various fruits, heavy, Bei Yao hurriedly helped her carry them together.
"Don't eat dinner for now, in a hurry, go see your Uncle Pei first, or you won't be able to catch the bus then, and you will have some noodles when you come back for dinner."
Of course Bei Yao had no objection.
When the mother and daughter arrived at the hospital, Pei Chuan was reading by the window.
It was a programming book left by the patient in front of this ward, and he flipped through it casually.
The girl's crisp voice rang: "Pei Chuan!"
The air was stained with that sweet breath, and he raised his eyes to look at the door, which was unscrewed. Beiyao was wearing a bean-green jacket, like a sprout from spring. She was carrying things and panting. "My mother and I came to see Uncle Pei."
He removed his eyes and fell on Zhao Zhilan: "Hello Auntie Zhao." Then he took the things in their hands. When he took the apple from Bei Yao, his eyes stayed at her fingertips for a moment, and then he avoided He opened her fingertips, didn't touch her, and took the apple.
"Eh." Zhao Zhilan replied, and then said, "I'm sorry Xiaochuan, Aunt Zhao came back yesterday to find out about this, don't worry, your father will wake up. God, all have eyes, who is It can be distinguished between a good person and a bad person. Police Officer Pei will be safe for the country and the people."
Pei Chuan looked calm: "Thank you Aunt Zhao."
"Pei Chuan." Bei Yao took out a yellow safety charm from her pocket and said softly, "This is what my grandmother and I went to the temple in the Wushan Mountain. It is said to be very effective. Now give it to Uncle Pei, I hope he will soon Recovery."
He didn't look at her eyes, he answered, but didn't refuse, and took it in front of Zhao Zhilan.
Bei Yao has many things to ask, such as why she just came to class and left, but her mother is here, so she is not easy to ask.
But Zhao Zhilan felt a little soft when seeing Pei Chuan: "Pei Chuan, there is nothing else Auntie can do for you. Yaoyao was sent to the hospital."
Pei Chuan shook his head: "Thank Aunt Zhao, no, my aunt is cooking for me."
After all, Zhao Zhilan was just a neighbor, not as good as his aunt, and she was not reluctant, she said some comforting words for a while, and took Bei Yao away.
Pei Chuan watched them leave.
The curvy girl walked a few steps and then turned back, his gaze shifted to the little panda on her schoolbag, not looking at her glazed eyes.
When they walked away, he took out the hand he put in his pocket, and on it was lying the peace charm given by Bei Yao, which still had the temperature of her body.
Pei Chuan put it next to Pei Haobin's bed.
Get better soon, Dad.
You may not know what kind of life your son is living, and what he has given up.
~
In the third year of the junior high school became busy, Bei Yao discovered that Pei Chuan had never come to school since that day. Teacher Zeng Ming explained to the students: "Pei Chuan has excellent grades and was recommended to high school by the school."
There was a roar of envy in the class.
Hua Ting also said: "He's really amazing. This kind of pass must be one of the first, third, and sixth high school. Some people are exhausted for the high school entrance examination. Some people go easily without taking the test. envy."
Bei Yao was drawing ink: "I can't envy you the unique treatment of the first three grades."
Bei Yao didn't know which high school Pei Chuan went to. In her memory, Pei Chuan was in the sixth high school. She also studied in the sixth high school. This time it is also the sixth high school, right
At the beginning of June, when summer arrived, the Pei family finally ushered in good news-Pei Haobin woke up.
He had been lying in bed for nearly four months, when the doctor felt hopeless, he woke up.
One week after Pei Haobin woke up, Pei Chuan went home to get a change of clothes. Even though he didn't want to admit it, he saw Bei Yao at the flower garden of the community at a glance.
I don't know who originally created such a flower garden in front of the community. Later, for convenience, the residents planted green onions, ginger and garlic in it, and Bei Yao was sent by Zhao Zhilan to pull the green onions back.
She was wearing a white dress, the skirt was a bit bigger, and her bare calves were more slender and white.
The ankles are small and delicate. In June, City C was already very hot, and the sun was high at noon. She pulled out several of them and stood up. She was very happy to see Pei Chuan.
"Pei Chuan! You are back, I heard that Uncle Pei is awake."
"Yeah." He looked down, but inevitably saw the mud on her sandals.
The girl is wearing beige sandals, her feet are exquisite and cute, her toes are like young shoots, and her toes are a little bit of cherry powder. Poor and cute, people even want to squat down and gently clean the mud on her shoes.
He frowned, and finally had to look at her face.
She was a little awkward and sluggish from childhood to most. She couldn't see the slight irritability and cramps of the teenagers, but was very happy: "I heard Teacher Zeng said that you were recommended to high school. Congratulations, is your recommended high school a sixth high school?"
Teacher Zeng kept his word and didn't tell his classmates that the school he was going to was No. 3 Middle School.
And he got closer and looked at the innocent little face in front of him, and calmly lied, "Yes."
She happily said: "I will pass the entrance examination in five days. I want to be in the same school with you. Then I will also fill in the sixth middle school. We can be alumni again, maybe we can be put into a class!"
"Ok."
"Pei Chuan." She wiped the sweat from her forehead, she didn't know that there was a little mud on her face, "Do you want some of the green onions my mother planted?"
"do not want."
"Oh, then I will come to see you and Uncle Pei after the exam."
Pei Chuan took the key of his house and turned and walked away, until he was far away from the light lilac smell on the girl behind him, and his tight muscles eased slightly.
Since childhood, it was not that he had deceived her duplicity, but this was the first time that he had lied to her on a major matter.
Bei Yao was full of joy and thought he was also in the sixth middle school, but it won't be long before she will understand that he lied to her. He is in the third middle school, and she is in the sixth middle school. She will live happily in a bright place in the future. She can be a school girl with a look like Shang Mengxian. He doesn't have to think and know how popular the girl behind him will be.
And when he is alone, he can grow wildly in a dark and humid corner without any scruples.
Pei Chuan took the key to open the door.
After she found out that she lied to her, she would never ignore him again. Since you are destined to not get it, don't think about it in the first place.
On June 13th, the unified high school entrance examination in City C.
The summer sun was shining brightly, and there was no air conditioning in the examination room this year. The candidates were sweating, but they were all dedicated to answering the questions.
After the exam on the 14th, the candidates sent a form in the examination room. They now have to fill in their volunteers when the score is not available. Everyone fills in the high school of their choice according to their estimated level.
Bei Yao did well in the exam. She wrote briskly and carefully wrote her first choice—C City Sixth Middle School.
