Peach and Plum Do Not Speak

Chapter 50:

In mid-June, when the senior high school entrance examination was taking place, the fire was burning in midsummer.

Grandma Liu’s grandson has just entered kindergarten, so she takes the Anzhong exam very seriously, and she feels that she is waiting for it. When eating at An Zhi early in the morning, she checked all her things and warned her a lot.

“If you want to go to the toilet, you must tell the teacher, don’t hold back, don’t be nervous. Hey, your stomach hurts, I filled you with brown sugar water in a thermos, warm, not hot. Also, if the classroom has air conditioning Ah, it’s too cold to tell the teacher…”

An Zhi listened embarrassedly.

Yan Xi listened beside her, and she felt that everything she could think of that she didn’t expect was told by Grandma Liu.

At a quarter past seven, Grandma Liu urged them to go out. Although the school is close, I am afraid of waiting for traffic jams.

At the gate of the school, at 7:45, as Grandma Liu said, many parents were standing at the gate, and they did not forget to take their children to give the final warning.

The sky is blue, the sun is shining, and the clouds in the sky are like cups of cream.

An Zhi’s spirit is not very good, she is a little tired, and her stomach didn’t hurt yesterday, but today she wakes up with a faint pain. Also a bit uncomfortable.

Yan Xi looked at her face and took out the medicine. Say to her, “Just in case, take one.”

She was still not at ease yesterday, so she went to the hospital to find Yan Yinan, let him go through the back door, and asked the gynecologist in the hospital to prescribe it. Repeatedly told her that it was an imported drug, and it had no side effects.

An Zhi ate and said to her, “Then I’ll go in.”

Yan Xi nodded.

The first subject is Chinese, 8:30-11:00, two and a half hours.

To be honest, Yan Xi was a little nervous, but she thought that An Zhi would take the Xiaosheng Preliminary Exam before she was ten years old, and she even got fifth in the city. No problem this time. It’s just that too much has happened in the past few days. Tao Zhenzhen came back, she had a fever, and she also came for her period…

Yan Xi’s heart, which he had put down, was raised again.

When the test started, the scorching sun was already in the sky, and Yan Xi was wearing sunglasses, standing in the shade to answer the phone.

Brother Yan’s: “Anzhi is taking the high school entrance exam today? Well…the high school entrance exam was only at the age of thirteen…I don’t know whether those two stinky boys will stay in the grade, or a girl…”

Yan Yinan: “Hahahaha, the sun is so hot, I won’t go out…”

Liu Yiyi: “You stupid, find a cool place… What? I won’t go… Such a hard thing!”

Yan Xi: “…”

Is it harder for children to take exams there? Aren’t you supposed to care about your kids?

At a quarter past ten, An Zhi walked out. Under the watchful eyes of many parents, she answered a few curious parental questions at will. Yan Xi saw that she was lazy and a little out of strength. He didn’t ask how she was doing in the test, and drove home immediately.

As soon as they got home, Grandma Liu came up and handed them wet towels to wipe their faces. Ask An Zhi is he hungry and tired? Looking back at Yan Xi: “Xiao Yan, your face is all red, take a rest.”

An Zhi turned around and glanced. It does get a little red.

After a while, she started to eat, and Yan Xi had the frozen lemon tea that Grandma Liu prepared for her.

An Zhi couldn’t drink, and stared at her to drink. Yan Xi bent her lips at her, glanced at Grandma Liu in the kitchen, and was about to move the cup over.

An Zhi blinked, shyly trying to reach out.

“Xiaoyan!” Grandma Liu came over and saw it.

Well, I can’t drink it.

After eating, An Zhi fell asleep on the sofa on the second floor. When Yan Xi went up, the fan was turning leisurely, and she saw her lying on her side, her feet white and transparent. Like a bunny sleeping quietly and soundly.

The afternoon exam is physics. Just as An Zhi wanted to go in, he turned around and ran over, asking Yan Xi to wait elsewhere, at least in an air-conditioned coffee shop.

Just as Yan Xi was about to say something, An Zhi puffed up: “If you don’t go, I’ll hand it in in half an hour.”

After a while, Yan Xi sat comfortably in the cafe, wondering why he was so stupid in the morning, and the parents were also stupid, standing at the door waiting, obviously unable to help.

At this time, I received another call, which was actually from Yan Yixi.

“Has An Zhi come out?”

“Second brother… What did you say? It’s only half an hour.”

“enough.”

“Second brother… There is no half-an-hour forbidding hand in… This is the high school entrance examination.”

“Oh, for the sake of the high school entrance examination, you can give ten more minutes.”

Yan Xi: “…”

After half an hour, An Zhi came to look for her.

She looked a little helpless. It looked like he was being held back by the parents at the door again.

Yan Xi couldn’t help but ask, “How is it?”

An Zhi’s face was calm: “No problem, I have checked it several times.”

Yan Xi: “…”

At lunch the next day, An Zhi finally drank a sip of frozen lemon tea, Yan Xi held the cup, controlled it, and gave her a sip.

After the English test on the third day, I was liberated, and even the air was full of cheers. The school gate was crowded with people, and the voices were noisy. Yan Xi was wearing a long skirt, which was particularly dazzling in the crowd. An Zhi ran over, and she kept staring at her with a smile.

It was as if she was standing at the school gate waiting for her at the end of her first day of school.

An Zhi remembered that she was so excited and trotted all the way. But it didn’t run into her arms. At that moment, she had the urge to throw herself into her arms.

But it wasn’t her, and she stopped subconsciously when she got there.

“Let’s go, let’s go eat.” Yan Xi patted his shoulder.

They went to eat grilled fish, because An Zhi couldn’t eat spicy food, so Yan Xi ordered grilled Qingjiang fish with garlic flavor. I ordered spicy belly, jelly as the appetizer, and the frozen lemon tea that An Zhi had been thinking about for a few days, her favorite purple potato rolls, and chestnut green bean rolls.

An Zhi’s nose sweated from eating, and he was very happy.

Yan Xi saw that she was having a good time eating, but he didn’t eat much, and kept serving her vegetables.

“Sign up for a tour group for you. How about you and Yang Mengmeng go to Shanghai? You can go there and have a look. There is Disney, so you don’t have to go to Hong Kong.”

“Um…Aren’t you going?”

Yan Xi took a bite of the purple potato roll, “I’m out of vacation.”

An Zhi said, “Mengmeng may have to go back to her hometown, so I don’t have time to follow me.”

“Ah, so…”

“I’ll be fine at home, I can finally read the novels at home.” An Zhi thought about Yan Xi’s two-wall bookshelf.

“Pfft, it’s been more than two months, won’t it be boring?” Yan Xi smiled.

“No, I can wait for you to go home…” An Zhi almost shook his feet.

Yan Xi was slightly startled, then raised his eyebrows and smiled. Ann’s face became hot after realizing it.

Yan Xi teased her: “You can’t stick to me like this.” She took a bite of fish.

An Zhi lowered his head and did not speak.

During this period, someone came over to say hello to Yan Xi, An Zhi looked up and saw that it was a handsome-looking man. While speaking, he glanced at her with a smile, and then said to Yan Xi, “It’s a good coincidence that I met her here.”

Laughing with two deep dimples.

She looked at Yan Xi, who nodded to him with an “ah”: “What a coincidence, Director Liao.”

“I’m here with my friends, we’ve already finished eating.” The man named “Director Liao” was followed by two male friends.

Yan Xi nodded to them and said hello respectively.

“This is An Zhi.” She introduced.

Director Liao turned his head and smiled at her, and said a few words of encouragement that an adult would say when he saw a child. Then he talked to Yan Xi for a few words before leaving. They looked familiar.

“It’s a colleague at work.” Yan Xi told her.

An Zhi has no idea about going to high school after the high school entrance examination. When she came here, she just went from one school to another. However, she faintly felt that Yan Xi was not as strict with her as before, especially after her menstrual period, she seemed to be treating her as an adult, handing her the mobile phone completely, giving her a secondary card, and reading books and computers was not enough. Any obvious restrictions are up to her.

When she was nine years old, she let her sleep alone. When I was in junior high school, I seldom hugged her and only touched her head. An Zhi was lost at the thought.

When the score came out, An Zhi was not surprised. 538. Out of 540.

The average admission score of Polytechnic High School is around 490, which is no problem anyway.

An Zhi hurried to ask Yang Mengmeng’s score.

Yang Mengmeng’s exam was also very good, 507, should be able to pass. An Zhi was relieved, smiled and said to her, “Let’s go shopping one day?”

Yang Mengmeng looked solemn and frustrated, and said to her, “I can’t go to the high school with you.”

Yang Mengmeng’s father’s business was not going well this year, and the old man in the family was not in good health. He decided to go back to his hometown. Naturally, Yang Mengmeng had to go back to study. Fortunately, she scored very well in the high school entrance examination, and she was forced to go back to study in a better high school, but in this case, she must be separated from An Zhi.

“It backfired”, An Zhi once again tasted the taste of these four words.

The summer vacation is coming to an end soon, Anzhi went to the high-speed rail station to see Yang Mengmeng. Yang Mengmeng’s mood was very low, and her mother pulled her to buy tickets to pass the customs. They are short on time, so they should go to the platform soon to find the carriage. But Yang Mengmeng turned her head and saw An Zhi who was watching her alone, and cried with a wow.

“I’m sorry…” She broke her promise.

As soon as she cried, An Zhi couldn’t help but rubbed her eyes and cried. The two children were crying loudly across the security gate. A group of unknown adults around. Yang Mengmeng’s mother pulled her arm embarrassingly, “Why are you crying? You can make phone calls, videos, and WeChat, but it’s not that you can’t see me…”

“An An, An An…” Yang Mengmeng blushed from crying and was pulled away by her mother.

Yan Xi found Anzhi at a fountain in a park not far from his home. In the evening, she sat there alone, with her head bowed and motionless. Much like when she saw her at the gate of the kindergarten many years ago.

Yan Xi’s chest hurt. For a moment, I felt that An Zhi was still that little child. For a moment, I feel that maybe growing up is so cruel, maybe all the things we cherish will leave us one by one. Many times, destiny thinks of reminding us how important it is to cherish through the action of “losing”.

Maybe she had to know earlier, but Yan Xi would rather she not know.

When Yan Xi sat beside her, An Zhi raised his head blankly, the sadness in his eyes scattered. Yan Xi handed her an ice cream cone. The wrapping paper had already been peeled off for her, revealing purple taro, sprinkled with chocolate chips.

An Zhi took it in a daze, and Yan Xi raised her hand and stroked her head.

An Zhi took a bite, and tears fell.

“Before, my grandfather once said to me, he said that life is unhappy about nine out of ten…” Yan Xi paused, then said, “So, we can only think about one or two often. Thinking about “one or two”, maybe You will have the courage and confidence to move on with your life.”

An Zhi’s tears fell, and after a while, she said “um”, and she continued to bite the ice cream and eat it.

Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, so think about one or two often. My first is you, my second is you.
