[Xianliu] Suiwanyantian

Chapter 3

Sheng, four people face a table of meals.

Xiandao's mother put food for Rukawa, and Rukawa said thank you auntie, and Xiandao's father put food for him, and he said thank you uncle.

Xiandao thought he was a polite child, and then gave Rukawa a bamboo shoot with chopsticks.

Rukawa ate without saying a word.

Xiandao was stunned, then laughed, Rukawa looked up at him with bright eyes.

Xiandao's breath stagnated for a while.

After dinner, Rukawa and the Xiandao family sat on the sofa in the living room and listened to the news for a while, then read the weather forecast, and said they wanted to go back.Xiandao's mother asked Xiandao to send him off, and Xiandao sent Rukawa downstairs to their unit, and then sent him upstairs to the door of the house. The light in the aisle of Rukawa's unit was broken, and Rukawa walked in front. A boy who is 9 years younger than himself is like a river flowing in the dark.

Suddenly he felt compelled to say something.

"Shall I watch your game someday?"

"what?"

"Your basketball game."

This proud boy, in order not to be suspended, swallowed his anger in the face of malicious provocations. Xiandao wanted to see him running with a basketball.

Back home, Xiandao's mother sat on the sofa knitting a sweater, "Why didn't Yayoi come today?"

Xiandao didn't turn his head, he almost forgot about Yayoi, "Oh, she has something to do today."

"You ask her to come here every two days. I want to knit a flower on the chest of this sweater for her. There are several patterns. I can't make up my mind. She can come over and choose by herself when she has time."

"Okay, I'll tell her."

Xiandao's father came out of the kitchen, carrying an aluminum pot. His blood pressure has been high in recent years. He asked the local doctor for a prescription. He boiled a pot of corn mustache water to drink every day. His eyes signaled Xiandao to help him get the cup, and Xiandao took it. hand it over.

"The kid you brought today likes to play chess at the gate of the courtyard when his grandpa is around." Xiandao's father is a chess fan. He shook his head and poured water into a porcelain cup. No one can beat him, but it's a pity that he died early—do you still have the impression that he teased you when you were young."

"What kind of impression does he have? He was just a big fart at that time," Xiandao's mother said, "This Rukawa family, grandpa is a chess fanatic, grandma is a mahjong fan... When I retired from the game, I was bored and had a while. Don’t you go to the chess and card room at the door every day? Grandma Rukawa stays there all day long. At that time, Ruchuan was just a little old. His parents divorced and he was just sent to grandma’s house. A little child, sitting alone at the door of the chess and card room, waiting His grandma went home to cook for him, holding the basket of vegetables his grandma bought, and whenever someone teased him, she turned around and ran away, for fear that others would snatch his basket." She laughed, thinking it was worth remembering, "It's good, I never cry .”

[three]

The one-eyed old man at the farm put down his teacup, very dissatisfied with the tea from the police station, "You must arrest him and his two bum sons."

"How can you be sure he did it?"

"I have been neighbors with him for 40 years," said the one-eyed old man. "The toilet in his house has been useless since 40 years ago. The three of them have been shitting in my field for 20 years until I installed iron bars around it." net; they raised dogs in order to deal with me, and those things always drilled through the holes in the iron net and ate my chickens and ducks. You can go and see—there are a lot of dog fur and blood on the iron net. They're all gluttons. I know with my eyes closed that they killed my sow too—they'll have to pay me if I don't go to jail."

"We will investigate this matter," Xiandao recorded the old man's words, "you can wait for a while? - By the way, your iron net is really a good thing."

"how?"

"When I was studying, I loved to practice hurdles there," Xiandao laughed. "Jump over the iron net, jump out again, and you won't be afraid of falling. The ground is full of thick soil."

Xiandao sent the one-eyed old man out of the police station, got on his motorcycle, and went to inspect Shinan Road along the way. Recently, A Fei who blackmailed the old lady for money often appeared there.The street was more peaceful than he had imagined, the motorcycle drove him by, the scorching sun made him sweat, he took out a towel to wipe his sweat - he was still used to using a towel, the handkerchief paper Yayoi gave was too delicate, and he had to look for trash cans all over the street after wiping , far less like a towel—the joy of taking it out after sweating and stuffing it in after wiping off the sweat.

In the past month, he met Yayoi once, but she took the time to go to his house. His mother said that Yayoi chose a rose, and his mother was very happy, "Yayoi and I thought about going together. I also like this pattern, but I'm afraid she won't like it." She knits that sweater in the next few days, just waiting for Yayoi to go and get it.

Yayoi called Xiandao several times. She said that she was desperately fighting the new editor-in-chief these days. She said she didn't believe it.Yayoi is almost 29 years old, and she said on the phone, Hey Sendo Akira, my mother, I have passed the best reproductive period, which man do you think will want me in the future?

He said, don't worry, there must be.

Yayoi smiled, why don't we just get together as a couple?Anyway, your mother treats me like a daughter-in-law.

Xiandao was stunned.

Yayoi laughed, teasing you haha, don't forget, my principle is: only look for the old ones, not the young ones.

The two have known each other since they were young, and Yayoi was four years old when he grew up. Over the years, Yayoi has worked hard to change boyfriends from school seniors to unit leaders to interviewees. These men have very different qualities, but they have only one thing in common: they are older than her.Xiandao has been dating many girls since high school, and his girlfriend in college almost married him.In short, the two of them each have their own emotional experience, and they are not stingy about sharing their emotional experience with each other. They are almost like brothers and sisters, and sometimes they are like brothers and sisters. Xiandao often picks up Yayoi from get off work, and Yayoi pulls Xiandao to accompany her shopping every three days Have a meal.Although there are not many, the two will also hug and hug. Yayoi once drunk and kissed Xiandao forcibly, but the relationship is too familiar, it seems that no matter what outrageous things they do, they can't be embarrassed.The two played their own way, and in the end they became the object of each other's gossip. The parents of both parties also had intentions, and they always deliberately matched the two.

Yayoi said, when will you pick up that basketball?You have to treat me to dinner——what kind of people are the national team? Asking them to sign an autograph, my mother, I’m tossing to death—by the way, when did you become interested in basketball again?

Xiandao laughed twice, "Recently."

Rukawa waits for Xiandao at the stop sign every day. Xiandao seems to be used to this kind of life. When he was in the bus, he seemed to be sleeping in a cradle. He closed his eyes, and his spine kept hitting the back of the seat. The bumps lasted for half an hour or so. After a while, everything stopped suddenly, he opened his eyes, and the first thing that entered the pupils was always the boy, his figure was covered by a layer of evening light, like a dream.The sound of the car door opening urged him to go down. In the past few seconds, the boy looked at him, and he wanted to hug the body several times.

In the past, after get off work, he would sometimes go to the night market for drinks with Mitsui and his friends, or go to the movies with some old men hooking up shoulder to shoulder. Recently, he always left as soon as the hour came.In case of an emergency, he couldn't leave, so he called Rukawa. Now Rukawa listened to him very well and wouldn't wait any longer. The voice came from the other end, and he didn't hide it. He could hear the angry meaning, The boy said, "Then I'll go to the court to practice", and then hung up the phone with Pa La.

He didn't understand many things, but he still accepted them happily, such as Rukawa, this boy rumbled into his life like a train.

But he still hasn't seen Rukawa play, he has only seen him after playing, he is always sweating, his face will be slightly red, and he keeps grabbing a bottle of drink and pouring it wildly, as if he just escaped death.

And when he asked Rukawa when there would be a game, Rukawa always gave a vague hum.

——Until he sat in the gymnasium of City No. 6 Middle School.

His seat was a little bit behind. In order to hurry, he basically didn't eat the salted egg and beef box lunch distributed in the noon bureau, but he still didn't get a good seat.Yayoi has a younger brother, Hikoichi, who is still in high school. He asked the kid about the schedule of the city's high school basketball league. On this day, Rukawa's team will compete with another team for a pass to the semifinals. .

Even if Rukawa didn't tell him, he still had a way to satisfy his curiosity.He sat there, surrounded by a group of cheerleaders wearing "must win" sweat scarves.

"Which team do you like?"

the fat man on his right asked him.

"Xiangzhong."

"Ah, how much did you bet?" The fat man asked if he wanted popcorn, and he shook his head.

"Not at the game--I'll just watch."

"It's okay, otherwise you will be hurt if you lose money. I am not optimistic about the personal abilities of those players in Xiangzhong," said the fat man. approach.

Xiandao saw Rukawa, still in the red jersey, his teammates started the final practice before the game, dunking one after another, there were girls screaming in the auditorium, Rukawa sat in the rest area, and did not participate.

The broadcast began to introduce the players from both sides, Xiandao was a little surprised, there was no Rukawa on Xiangzhong's roster - the distance was too far, he only saw Rukawa sitting there, he couldn't see his face clearly, could it be that Rukawa was injured?But yesterday, Rukawa was still riding a bicycle freely, and there seemed to be no problem.

In the first half, Xiandao watched with bated breath. Indeed, as Fatty said, Xiangzhong was slightly inferior to No.30 Middle School. The first half ended at 45:[-], and Rukawa did not play.

It rained heavily in the middle of the night last night, Xiandao closed the window halfway through his sleep, the desk in front of the window was in a mess, the magazines he usually bought were all soaked, there was also a chess record of his father, and the pile of clothes hanging on the chair had also been soaked by the rain The clothes were cold and heavy, and he went to bed after packing up, and he couldn't sleep anymore.

The second half played slowly and stagnantly, Xiandao felt sleepy for a while, and fell asleep with his head down.later
