Chapter 2 Life is chattering
The treetops are covered by the sunset at dusk. Two children sit on the concrete piers and watch the scenery. Opposite is the health center, covered by continuous shade, and under the crisscrossing road are vehicles coming and going, as well as middle school students walking out of the gate of junior high school.
Ming Nannan longs for those senior students very much. Fang Ning said that he will have many friends when he grows up.
For a long time, she only had Fang Ning, a friend, so she really hoped to have many good friends.
Fang Ning just stared into the sky and slowly hummed a song:
On the banyan tree by the pond
Cicadas are shouting at Xia Tian
On the swing by the playground
Only the butterflies are parked on it
Teacher's chalk on the blackboard
I'm still trying hard to write.
...
There is everything in the welfare club
No half a penny in your pocket
Zhuge Silang and the Devil Party
Who grabbed that sword
The girl in the next class
Why haven't you passed by my window?
…
The sound is distant and long, and it seems that it can really echo far in the dusk with cicadas and frogs in summer!
Ming Nannan listened very seriously. She liked to listen to Fang Ning singing, but he rarely sang because Fang Ning said that listening to more songs is tired of listening, and good things should be cherished instead of wasting them.
Although she didn't know what squandered means, judging from his frowning expression, it should be bad.
The two were very peaceful at dusk, and the sun shone on their faces. He narrowed his eyes and had a clear outline on his face.
Ming Nannan frowned and poked Fang Ning's shoulder with his finger.
"Hmm?" Fang Ning tilted his head.
She asked timidly, "Are you not going to study here next semester?"
It is not a question, but a statement, and it is obvious that it is already known.
"Yes." Fang Ning nodded calmly.
Ming Nannan didn't ask why, she just stared blankly at the red sunset in the sky.
"When will we see you again?"
"To be honest, I don't know either." Fang Ning didn't have any fantasies for her.
"Oh." Ming Nannan was a little disappointed, hugged her knees and became silent.
"In your future life, you will have many friends passing by you, going to the left, or to the right, and then leaving your world non-stop. You have to learn to adapt." Fang Ning knew that this honest girl actually had another delicate side in her heart. The girls have been precocious since childhood, so he thought that Ming Nannan would understand sooner or later...
"But I have only you as a friend."
Fang Ning was stunned and his heart felt inexplicably painful.
He turned around and stared in her eyes, saying seriously, "In the future, you will have many friends."
That afternoon, Fang Ning pulled Ming Nannan and said a lot by the bridge, about his future life and some strange ideals.
He also said that he was going to study in a place where no one knew him.
Although Ming Nannan couldn't understand, Fang Ning still nagged like an old woman and said a lot of things.
This goes on and on, chattering endlessly.
It was not until the sunset completely dyed the sky red that he took Ming Nannan home.
The sky is getting darker.
Fang Ning and Ming Nannan were separated under the bridge of the gas station. Her family lived here, and he had to walk towards the end of the gas station.
Fang Ning walked across an Youbai Road, and the asphalt face seemed a little bumpy because of the age of the road, especially the road washed by rain, even the smooth pebbles were exposed. He walked slowly for two hundred meters and soon got home. On the left side of the Youbai Road, one building next to another, gradually stacked two-story residential buildings, and his home was here.
The green pond is tightly surrounded by frogs and buzzing. The cement piers exposed the water surface of the pond, covered with mottled moss, a group of gray-green-shelled crayfish bubbling in the algae, or drilling into the mud pit to hide from the sun. This is the lobster pond raised by the residents next to Fang Ning.
Fang Ning's house is a second-story residential building with red brick exterior walls, a cement balcony, a corridor full of clothes, and green painted wooden windows. The overall look is very ordinary, just like thousands of small families in China, without any characteristics or highlights. There is also a large cement floor in front of the house, with half of the ground moss and half of the air-dried gravel.
There are also several sycamore trees planted on the left side of his house.
The arrival of midsummer has made the broad sycamore branches more lush, covering the sky and the sun, and cutting the dim sunlight into pieces.
"I'm back!" Fang Ning visited him twice, and saw that his grandmother was not at home. He immediately let out a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
"Where did you go to play? There was no one in a moment." Fang Jiefang asked slightly.
He was still cooking, and the aroma of the stir-frying drifted out through the kitchen and into Fang Ning's nose.
Fang Ning raised his face slightly, took a deep breath of the aroma of the dish, and then said as if nothing had happened, "I just went to school and said goodbye to a few of them."
"Oh, wash your hands and have a meal soon. Today, the three of us are at home. I'll just get some food and just deal with it." Fang Jiefang came out with a dish plate and paused, "Your grandma is going to her parents' house. Your grandma is a little uncomfortable. Her sisters have all gone there. It's probably a few days to stay, so we have to rely on ourselves for the rest of the day."
"What should we do if we move?" Fang Ning widened his eyes, but he soon felt relieved. Even if his grandmother was there, it was not very useful, and she couldn't move any heavy things. On the contrary, she was not at home, and Fang Ning's life was even more comfortable, at least she didn't have to worry about her grandmother's thoughts in her ears.
Fang Ning washed his hands with soap in the pool and came to the dining table. Plates of steaming food were placed on the table. Fang Jiefang had already started serving the rice.
Fried green peppers with pork chopped into pieces, the oily and smooth, and the green is green. A plate of golden fried eggs is evenly sprinkled with chopped green onions, which is fragrant. Three bowls of rice bowls filled with full rice grains are placed on the table.
"Go and ask your sister to get up, she is still sleeping." Fang Jiefang took off his apron.
"She didn't go to school today?" Fang Ning walked into the room.
"It's time to go, it's early in the afternoon, and I'll go home early, but it's not like you know you'll be crazy all day long."
Fang Ning coughed twice, dared not speak back, and knocked directly at the door, "It's time to eat! If you don't come, I'll even eat your favorite fried egg..."
This trick was indeed very effective. As soon as he finished speaking, there was movement in the room.
"I've gotten up long ago. You think you're like you. You know how to eat, sleep, and do housework all day long. You won't see you when you eat faster than anyone else."
Before seeing the person, I heard the sound of him first.
A little girl wearing a small floral cotton dress came out of the room wearing a single-legged sandal. She had a melon-shaped face, a small eyebrows, and a big eyes. Her appearance was almost like a street in the distance. There was no way, and her parents' good genes were concentrated on her. She probably inherited her double eyelids and a pair of dimples.
"It's like you did housework?"
Fang Ning's housework was done by his grandfather alone, and he never needed a second helper.
"Brother, what did you say?" The little girl bit the little tiger's teeth and looked unkind.
"I said nothing," he murmured.
"Um?"
"I'll say for now that you can eat all three points for fried eggs, and I won't eat them all." Fang Ning said first.
