Chapter 2: The Little Worries of Ye Zi
Ye Zi returned home, and her mother, Luoruo Hua, asked: "Has this month's salary been paid?"
Ye Zi lowered her head, afraid that Lu Ruohua would see her red eyes: "It's 900 yuan..."
Ah... it's only 900 yuan? Then you keep 200 for food and hand over the rest to me for safekeeping.
Mom... Yezi was silent for half a day, muttering to herself from time to time.
Lu Ruo's eyes widened: What's wrong with you now? Don't you want to pay? Then how will your brother afford school? You're not unaware of this, are you?
Ye Zi slowly pulled out money from his pocket and handed it over to Lu Ruohua.
Luohua took out two hundred and put it in her hand: Be frugal! Ah?
Ye Zi didn't respond, she lowered her head and went to her own room. What a room it was, the roof was a human-shaped tile roof with long gray dust hanging down from above. Ye Zi's bed was made of eight large clay bricks supporting several wooden boards, the quilt on top was stiff, an embroidered quilt cover had already faded, revealing a faintly visible hole.
The leaves sat on the edge of the bed. She thought silently about her heart affairs.
She wants to buy a pink bow tie. Thinking about it is heart-wrenching.
Ruan Yuen recently bought another bow, a pink-purple crystal one that costs forty yuan. But Yezi didn't have the money; not to mention forty yuan, she wouldn't even spend one yuan if she had it. Originally, she wanted to ask her mom for three hundred yuan so that she could buy the bow and a new dress with what was left over after spending six yuan per day on food. She imagined herself walking in front of him wearing beautiful floral clothes and a pink bow.
She just hopes he will give her a slight smile with his square and upturned mouth.
But now this wish has fallen through. She has to eat, otherwise she won't have the energy to attend classes. Six yuan a day, two yuan per meal, she can only afford plain rice noodles, while others are eating meat and eggs in the morning. She doesn't dare hope for these things, just being able to guarantee a bowl of rice noodles is enough. She eats this for all three meals, with no way to eat anything better. Despite this, she still can't fulfill her small wish of buying a hair bow. She feels somewhat disheartened, thinking that her fate is too bitter.
She sighed and pulled out a pen from a plastic bag.
Today, she heard him recite a poem, Xu Zhimo's "Farewell Again Cambridge":
I quietly left, alone.
Just as I came quietly;
I waved lightly,
Farewell to the clouds in the western sky.
The golden willow by the riverbank?
The bride in the sunset
A beautiful shadow in the ripples of light
It's the ripple in my heart.
Water caltrop on soft mud
A drop of oil floats on the surface of the water;
In the gentle waves of Cambridge
I am willing to be a waterweed!
Under the elm tree's shade, a pool of water.
Not a clear spring, but a rainbow in the sky?
Crushed among the floating algae, alone
Settling down with rainbow-like dreams.
Chasing dreams?
Hold up a long pole, alone
Wander towards the greener grass
A boatful of starlight
Sing in the starry night sky.
But I couldn't let go of the song
Whispers are the farewell songs of parting lovers.
Summer insects also keep silent for me
Silence is Cambridge tonight!
I quietly left, alone and unknown.
Just as I came quietly;
I waved my long sleeves, goodbye.
Don't take away a wisp of cloud.
Every time she heard a sentence, she would frantically copy it down on paper. His voice was the voice of God, and she wished to be submerged in this voice for her entire life. The poetic beauty of "The Goodbye to Cambridge" had thoroughly captivated her. Actually, she had read it before, but didn't realize how beautiful it was until now. It was so beautiful that a miracle occurred in her memory. She would copy it once and then memorize it.
I quietly left, just as I quietly came; I waved my long sleeves and didn't take away a single cloud...
Tears streamed down her face again. To him, she must have been going to slip away quietly, just as she had come quietly...
Lu Ruohua called her: Yezi, let's eat.
Ye Zi slowly got up from bed and walked out to help her mother serve dishes. In the bowls were stir-fried chili peppers with yellow beans, as well as some small white vegetables. This was their daily routine.
Ye Zi glanced at her mother's face, which was a bit pale. She quietly continued eating her meal, half of which consisted of starchy noodles that were a bit hard to swallow. Ye Zi then ran over to the water vat and took a drink.
Her shadow rippled in the water, and she immediately saw her own shadow overlapping with his. Suddenly, her face felt extremely hot, and when she came to, she realized that she should be embarrassed.
"Are there any good young men at school?" Lu Ruo Hua asked her.
Uh-huh... Yezi knew her mom was going to nag about something again.
Ah, there are good young people with formal jobs and a relatively well-off family background. You can try dating them. Once you have a good place to settle down, mom will have someone to rely on. However, for the five years before marriage, your salary still has to be handed over to mom... The family really only relies on you now... Lu Ruohua always talks about this kind of thing and Yezi is getting annoyed.
Mom, I don't want to do these things. I will study hard and take the university entrance exam... When I was 18 years old, others were studying part-time universities, and I also wanted to study while working and reading books, which can also get a diploma. After getting the diploma, I am qualified to be a formal teacher...
Alas... certificates, certificates... I don't want to bother with you either. Anyway, remember that you're the pillar of the family and you have to support your younger brother before you can have an easy day...
Ah…… Ye Zi finished her meal, retreated into the house, and picked up a copy of "Jane Eyre". She had been enchanted by this book for the past two days. Such an ordinary little girl Jane, yet she was loved by a gentleman in the end. He didn't love her for her looks or wealth, but for her self-respect and dignity, her talent and kindness.
Lin Yezi began to fantasize: Is he that gentleman? If so, maybe she'll have a chance too? Her small face unconsciously turned red like an apple.
The night quietly dyed the sky outside the window black, and the leaves sank into that beautiful and arduous love. She sighed and shed hot tears, her heart shouting: Jian, come on!
In this humble house, who knows what thoughts are in the mind of such a lowly little girl? Only heaven knows.
Lin Yezi gazed and gazed, feeling drowsy. The book was placed on the quilt by her, she had already sunk into a wonderful dreamland, dreaming of him in white clothes and white pants, even more handsome than Prince Charming! His hand reached out to her, reaching out...
She was so excited that her heart skipped a beat, stretching out her slender hand, just about to reach his hand, when suddenly, a sharp cry: Don't hold hands! This ear-piercing sound pulled her out of her beautiful dream.
What a pity! Just a little bit more! She woke up extremely annoyed, her consciousness immediately cleared: the screaming voice was Ruan Yuyao's, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Offending Ruan Yu'e means losing this poor rice bowl as well...
No! Don't force me like this! She wailed in her heart.
Lin Yezi was secretly worried about this little thing, when suddenly her distant uncle rushed over and knocked on the door: Yezi! Yezi! Is Yezi in? The voice sounded extremely urgent.
Lin Yezi hastily put on her clothes and got out of bed: Uncle, I'm coming!
Leaf, hurry up! Your school principal called and said that one of your classmates didn't go home, their family has come to the school to look for them!
Lin Yezi was stunned for a moment, like a wooden chicken.
