Qiuzi received a letter from Xiao Baihe this spring.
Xiao Baihe is Qiuzi's high school classmate. Lily, who is in the same city, seems shy and doesn't talk to boys. The traditional consciousness of men and women not being close to each other is deeply rooted. Lilies are really as their name suggests, like a quiet lily flower , blooming and falling in unknown corners.
Qiuzi's first time at Xiao Baihe's house was at dusk. Qiuzi was the squad leader that year. The original squad leader didn't want to do anything because he was afraid that he would delay his studies as a class cadre, so Qiuzi took the order in danger and took over the burden of not having a cold. Xiao Baihe also told Qiuzi after Qiuzi was the squad leader to ask him to do him a favor.
"I want you to help me change the wheat transported from my hometown into food coupons. Do you have time?"
Qiuzi usually doesn't refuse others easily. Her expression is cute when she says yes, and her expression is ugly when she says no. Qiuzi tried it specifically in front of the shadow, so he rarely says no.
Qiuzi is studying in a high school in the county. Most Xuchang rural students will transport the wheat from their homes to school at the beginning of the semester and replace it with colorful meal tickets. Lily, who is very close to home, rarely eats at school, so changing meal tickets basically has nothing to do with Lily. How about this time...
Lily seems to see the doubts in Qiuzi's eyes, "Oh, that's right. I was having dinner at school this semester. My sister's home was outside the city and gave birth to a daughter. Because no one took care of me, my parents went there. I was left alone, so I had to take care of ours!"
Lily's home is in an alley north of the school. There is an exquisite building with two floors, with four rooms. Downstairs is a small living room and bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. Along the stairs are Lily's bedroom and a storage room. In Qiuzi's opinion, the wheat, which is not much, is just a piece of cake. In fact, Lily doesn't need to ask for help at all. She is fully capable of getting wheat to school on a bicycle.
It took forty minutes to transport most of the bag of wheat to school and exchange it for meal tickets. Because I was pushing the cart, Qiuzi learned about the story of Lily along the way.
Lily has two sisters, and for this reason, the mother is often scolded by her father. After all, it is the greatest thing to be unfilial and the mother of Lily, who only gave birth to two daughters, wanted to have another son, but an unexpected disease also extinguished this wish. After recovering from the illness, the doctor advised them not to have children anymore.
The parents' thoughts are all on Lily and Sister Yuhe, but the father is always unwilling to accept it, but he can't divorce his wife just because he wants a boy! Life is awkward and aggrieved.
Lily's personality has gradually been developed under such a family environment.
The life of senior high school is a protracted war.
When the time when the college entrance examination was approaching, Lily invited Qiuzi to her house several times. Sometimes her parents are at home, but they don’t seem to feel embarrassed. When you are alone, Lily will embroider the cross stitch that you can't finish on the sofa.
