To say goodbye is to die a little

Chapter 36

Beidou Town.

There are a few cicadas perched on the trees in the courtyard, singing non-stop at noon.

Chang Yue was woken up again, walked sleepily into the yard, and still didn't catch a cicada after guarding for a long time.Grandpa found out. That evening, he took long leaves and tied them into a ball. With a wave of his hand, he slapped a cicada on the ground a few times, and brought it out to him.

The cicada was not injured, and its empty stomach was bulging, and it stopped singing.Chang Yue took a photo with the cicada in his hands, talked to his grandfather, and put it back on the tree.Grandpa seemed to have known that Chang Yue would let the cicada go, so he waved his right hand and smiled cheerfully.

After dinner, Chang Yue and grandma tidied up the kitchen together and returned to the desk. Just as they were about to send the photos they took today to Su Yan, they suddenly remembered an old incident.

One year, my grandfather also caught a cicada for him. At night, he put it under the mosquito net. Unexpectedly, when he woke up the next day, the cicada would not move.He seemed to cry all morning. That day, grandma hugged him all morning, helplessly, and kept sighing...

Chang Yue felt funny for a while, and felt nostalgic at the same time. Thinking that there were still three essays to write, he wrote a narrative essay with the theme of cicadas, more than 800 words. Send it to Su Yan together.

Three minutes later, Chang Yue was lying on the bed, looking at the news that could no longer be retracted, so annoyed that he crazily hit his head with a pillow.

"Ouch, dear grandson, don't hit your head! You will become stupid."

Grandma heard the movement, walked in, quickly waved to stop Chang Yue, and patted his head, "What happened?"

Chang Yue looked embarrassed, "Grandma, I'm fine."

"It's fine," grandma held an old cattail fan in her hand, "I'm going to enjoy the cool air in the yard, and come when you finish your homework."

"Okay." Chang Yue nodded.

Su Yan didn't reply to the message.

Chang Yue lay paralyzed on the bed for a long time, and clicked on the past composition to re-read it. Immediately, he felt that the writing style was extremely naive, like a child writing a diary. The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. He sighed and got up.He jumped a few times in the room, unable to relieve his shame, and planned to go out for a run.

Lu Manman will continue to take interest classes during the summer vacation, Lu Yu is busy with work, Chang Qiao has to take care of the family, and is planning to open a dessert shop, not to mention not being free, so they all stay in the city.

After Su Yan left the province, Chang Yue came to the town alone, and every day he would get up early to clean the yard, memorize vocabulary and practice oral English, and then eat, sleep and do homework.During the day, Chang Yue and the two old men were busy with each other's affairs, and they would gather in the shade of the yard at dinner time, sitting around the wooden table that had been used for decades to eat and chat.

Most of the summer vacation slipped away.

It was past nine o'clock in the evening, and my grandparents were enjoying the cool air in the yard with a fan in their hands.Chang Yue came out, grandma saw it, patted the chair next to her, and told him to sit there.

Chang Yue responded, walked to the door first, opened the courtyard door and took a look.

There are not many street lights outside, the sky is dark and heavy, and the yellowed street lights can't cast too far.

Chang Yue retracted his upper body, locked the courtyard door, and checked it again.

"Want to run?" Grandpa asked.

Chang Yue nodded, "Yes."

"Don't run away, it's too dark outside, our house has a skipping rope, you just take it and jump in the yard!"

Grandma stood up as she spoke, and rummaged through a cabinet in the house for a while, found a neatly bundled black skipping rope, handed it to Chang Yue who was beside her, and packed the other things in a few strokes, "This is what your mother used when she was a child, and she only used it a few times! You will be lazy when you buy it, kid!"

Chang Yue helped her grandma to sit down next to her grandpa, walked to a corner and started skipping rope.He didn't dance well, and he always started to stumble when he counted to fifteen or sixteen. Grandma smiled and urged him not to worry too much.Chang Yue responded with a smile, touching the newly shaved hair.

The old man went to bed early, and as soon as ten o'clock arrived, he greeted him as usual and went back to his room to rest.

Chang Yue responded, put down the skipping rope, quickly went to the side room to take a shower, checked the door lock and returned to the room.He picked up his phone and saw several messages sent 10 minutes ago.

Su Yan sent several messages, the first three were voice messages, followed by typing to ask him what he was doing, and after a while he sent an aggrieved expression, and finally the other two voice messages.

Chang Yue took out the earphones and listened to the voice first.

The background sound is a bit noisy.

"Today is grandpa and grandma's birthday, there are so many people in the family, it's not convenient to look at the phone, so I saw it."

The second voice came out after 5 minutes: "I read the article—" Chang Yue just heard this sentence, and immediately took off the earphones, the voice continued to play silently, and stopped after ten seconds.

Chang Yue stared at the chat page, rubbed his face, put on the earphones again, and clicked on the last voice first.

"Sleep?"

Then click on the penultimate item.

"This is well written, I like it."

As soon as the voice came out, Chang Yue sat up suddenly.

This is not Su Yan's voice, but the old man's voice.

Reminiscent of Su Yan saying that his grandparents' birthday is today, then the owner of the voice is likely to be Su Yan's grandma...Chang Yue's ears became hot, and he listened to it again to confirm, and then his whole body went numb.

How did Su Yan mention his composition to his family?

Su Yan must have read his composition to the old man, right?

Has anyone else heard it?

......

Chang Yue's mind was full of turbulent waves.Then he thought that Su Yan's mother was a university teacher, and his grandparents were also high-level intellectuals, so he already wanted to hide in a corner and shut himself up.

Chang Yue took a deep breath, summoned up the courage to click on the voices that he hadn't heard yet, one was Su Yan's comment on his composition, and the other was Su Yan saying that he accidentally showed off too much just now, and grandpa and grandma wanted to know what was in the composition. I wrote something, and asked if it would be okay to read it to them...

......

An autistic emoji appeared in the chat box.

After a while, Su Yan made a voice call.

Chang Yue connected, and said with a bang, "Who did you show it to?"

"I only read it to my grandpa and grandma, saying it was your birthday present to them," Su Yan quickly explained, "They all praised you for your good writing and wanted to see you! Really, no fourth person heard it."

Chang Yue immediately felt a lot more relaxed when he heard it, "How can you be like you...you are not a primary school student, and you even give the composition you wrote to the old man as a birthday present."

"It's just right to give this. There are many people who give material things, and there is no shortage of them every year." Su Yan smiled. Very happy."

Chang Yue hugged his blue faceless bear, speechless for a moment.

"Chang Yue?"

"Ok?"

"Wait for me." Su Yan seemed to be walking over there, a noisy voice came over, and after a minute, it became quiet again.

A few soft notes came into my ears.

"Play a song for you," Su Yan said again, "Don't be angry."

"Not angry..."

"Okay, then let me listen to my piano solo for you, and I guarantee that you will enjoy palace-level treatment."

Chang Yue smiled.In fact, he found Su Yan's piano playing clips in many videos uploaded by Wang Xuan, which was very nice.But it was indeed the first time to listen to it in real time, and I was looking forward to it, "Play it, I will listen carefully."

"it is good."

As soon as Su Yan finished speaking, the percussion notes came over, and the melody was light and smooth... Five seconds later, Chang Yue suddenly realized that he was playing "Song of Going to School" and laughed.

Su Yan coughed like a warning: "Seriously."

"Okay." Chang Yue buried his face in the faceless bear, still holding back his smile.

Less than 1 minute of playing, it will be over soon.

Su Yan asked: "Is it okay?"

"That's right, this tone is all in my mind now."

Su Yan seemed to be walking around, and even talked to someone, but soon became quiet again.

"I'm going back to my room, turn on the video?"

Chang Yue looked at her pajamas and refused: "No."

"Okay," Su Yan didn't beg for nothing this time, "In order to prevent you from falling asleep when you think about it later, let me explain to you clearly. When I read your composition to my grandparents, they were very happy. Said that this is the most meaningful birthday gift they received this year. I think it may be because they think of many precious moments in the past from your words, just like the Proust effect we mentioned earlier. "

Chang Yue was a little touched.He also wrote it down because he remembered the days when he was with his grandparents and was afraid of forgetting it again.He is not awkward at all now, "That's good."

"I'll go back the day after tomorrow," Su Yan said, "to find you, okay?"

Chang Yue's eyes lit up immediately, "Sure!" Author of "$TITLE": $AUTHOR
