Chapter 339: Grow up with you
The furnishings in the room are the same as the last time I came here. You can see the two words when you enter.
On one side is my grandfather's strokes like a swimming dragon, "If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, and rushes to the sea and never returns." On the other side is Su Chengyi's clumsy strokes, "If you don't see it, the mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and the morning is like blue silk. Dusk becomes snow."
Chen Jinzhi guessed that this was his masterpiece when he was a child, and the corners of his mouth curved in a gentle arc.
I don’t know if Yang Liu specially asked someone to clean it, but there is no dust on the furniture. It looks more like someone lives in it from time to time.
Su Chengyi tried pressing the light switch next to the door, but there was no response.
Sure enough, the water and electricity had been cut off long ago.
Although the moonlight was very good, the visibility was still quite low. Su Chengyi took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, and led Chen Jinzhi inside.
Under normal circumstances, when you come to such an old house that has not been inhabited for a long time, you will be somewhat cautious and have a mentality like adventure.
But Su Chengyi didn't, because he was too familiar with this place.
He still clearly remembers the arrangement of tables and chairs, the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and even the tea set left outside.
To put it bluntly, these were all many years ago.
Go through the corridor and arrive at the backyard.
Su Chengyi grabbed a handful of snow on the rockery, rolled it into a ball, and threw it into the dry pool.
This is the first time Chen Jinzhi has seen such a period-feeling wing structure, which is a bit novel.
"Does Teacher Su have his own room?"
"Of course."
There was a hint of pride in Su Chengyi's tone that he was not even aware of.
Su Zelang and Yang Liu saved up money to buy a house only after several years of marriage. Before that, they lived in a rental house.
The rental house was small. Su Chengyi had a memory in his childhood that every time before going to bed, Yang Liu would pull out a folding bed from under the bed and arrange it for him.
It needs to be put away on weekdays, otherwise it will block the road.
Su Chengyi is different from other children in that she is not afraid of the dark and does not want to sleep with her parents.
One of the reasons is that Su Zelang snores too noisily in the middle of the night.
So when he came to his grandpa's house, he felt very happy to have his own room.
At least it’s quiet.
Su Chengyi found her room with ease, and her grandfather specially picked the one with the best location.
The door is unlocked, just the deadbolt.
After Su Chengyi opened the door, Chen Jinzhi quickly discovered the scratches on the door frame.
Obviously, this is a common method used all over the world to record the growth of children.
But the highest scratch only reached below Su Chengyi’s shoulder.
That was probably the year the recorder left.
Chen Jinzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the top of his fluffy hair, and suddenly stood up on tiptoes and touched it gently.
"Huh?"
Su Cheng turned around in confusion, and Chen Jinzhi smiled slightly, with no intention of explaining.
Su Chengyi didn't think too much. His focus was on the large cardboard box placed on the desk in the room.
This was obviously collected by Yangliu, and contained a whole box of stuff that looked very much like garbage.
It was also difficult for the housekeeping aunts not to throw this box out when they were cleaning.
Seeing the wooden sword stuck in the box from a distance, Su Chengyi regretted bringing Chen Jinzhi into the room.
This box is full of naked black history! !
But Chen Jinzhi had already walked over with a smile, obviously very interested in visiting.
After she grasped the hilt of the wooden sword and pulled it out, she was a little surprised at its workmanship.
"Did you do this yourself?"
"Yes."
Su Chengyi nodded, the evidence of the onset of the second disease was in front of him, which made people a little confused. Embarrassed.
“At that time, I was playing Legend of Sword and Fairy, Seven Star Sword. Look.”
He pointed the light of the flashlight at the sword blade and showed Chen Jinzhi the seven stars of the Big Dipper that he had carefully carved.
For children of this age, the hero dream is absolutely indispensable.
Some come from the ancient sword Xuanyuan Sword, and some come from Yang Guo, Xiao Feng, and Linghu Chong. In short, they are all indispensable, holding a wooden stick and imagining that they can travel to the end of the world with a sword.
Su Chengyi thought that at least he had taken action and made a decent sword.
“I, Li Xiaoyao, can swear to God that from now on, I will never let you be alone!”
He waved his sword and casually recited a classic line.
"Little Plum, with high ambitions, wants to learn how to be a swordsman and ascend to the sky~"
I don't wake up even when the sun is high, and I am happy in my dreams every day.
Chen Jinzhi actually knew this.
This really surprised Su Chengyi again.
"I wasn't in South Korea when I was a kid. What I missed with you was the trend of the non-mainstream period."
Chen Jinzhi explained with a smile.
Su Chengyi couldn't help but think that it was a good thing he missed it, otherwise it would have been a really terrifying experience.
The overwhelming number of killer hairstyles, bizarre Martian writings, and the same popular online playlists simply make it impossible for a heretic like him who suffers from severe hipster allergies to hide.
Chen Jinzhi carefully put down his wooden sword and turned his attention to the eye-catching bag of table tennis balls.
Between the more common yellow ping pong balls and white ping pong balls, there is a colorful one hidden.
Chen Jinzhi smiled and took it in his hand to examine it. The circles of colorful lines were crooked, as if he had painted them with watercolor pens.
This is indeed the case, DIY super table tennis.
Su Chengyi casually took a ball and patted it on the table. With the crisp sound of "ping ping pong", he suddenly remembered the important role of colored table tennis balls.
“When I was a kid, every time I couldn’t beat a ball, I would take out this colorful one and hit it.”
Su Chengyi recalled the scene at that time, just like the protagonist in a cartoon who would pull out his secret weapon when he couldn't defeat the villain.
The passionate BGM sounds, and the protagonist turns defeat into victory gracefully.
This sentence touched Chen Jinzhi’s point of laughter. She almost couldn’t stop laughing.
Su Chengyi didn't understand, so he had to reach out and touch her back to help calm her down.
But it turns out that if you can't beat it, you can't beat it.
Yellow, white, and colorful are all the same.
In table tennis, Su Chengyi was once abused by his grandfather until he became autistic.
Later I found out that this old man used to be a national second-level table tennis player.
The next one is a rusty car pencil case. This is a popular pencil case in childhood that can transform. It is probably inspired by Transformers.
Su Chengyi tried pressing the switch. Although the appearance looked completely ruined, it could still transform smoothly. The quality was very hard.
"Did you buy this kind of thing when you were a child?"
"Thank you, we girls all bought pink Barbie princesses."
Chen Jinzhi poked at the car tires because they were rusty Because of that, it rolls very hard.
“You actually like that kind of thing?”
Su Chengyi was a little surprised.
Chen Jinzhi rarely looks mature, like the type who sneers at childish toys that children like.
“It’s not that I like it, it’s the only one in the store.”
She thought for a moment, and if she said she liked it, she couldn’t really tell.
She has never liked things that are too flashy since she was a child, and she is a pragmatist.
But my mother thought she liked it, so she bought one like this for her every time. Chen Jinzhi pretended to be very happy when he received it for the first time, which led to him receiving such gifts for the second and third time.
Of course, this was before my mother’s condition became serious.
Later, she used the last pencil case with peeling paint until the day she left Tang'an for South Korea.
The aunt thought it was ugly and embarrassing, so she bought her a new one.
Although Chen Jinzhi was reluctant to throw it away and quietly hid it under the bed, one day, it suddenly disappeared.
Thinking of the past, she was a little dazed.
Su Chengyi noticed the sudden silence of the people around her, picked up the dirty bear under the box, and waved it in front of her eyes.
"Huh? Plush toy?"
It was a little inconsistent with the temperament of this great god. Chen Jinzhi came back to his senses, took the little bear, and looked at its dark eyes blocked by the curly hair. .
But she remembered again the Pikachu she met by chance when she went to Su Chengyi's house for the first time.
He thought he was afraid of the dark, so he took it out to keep her company.
It seems like this guy might just like these cute things.
"I gave it as a gift when I bought the shoes."
Su Chengyi looked at the wrinkled green sweater on the little bear and remembered its origin.
About this time of the New Year, it is customary to buy new clothes and shoes for the children.
Yang Liu made an appointment with her cousin and went shopping with her children.
The children's clothing store is holding activities, and you can win a lottery when you buy shoes. A relative's child bought three pairs and only got one balloon.
And Su Chengyi drew the green sweater bear with a random draw.
My relative's child stopped doing this. He cried, made trouble, and hung himself all because he wanted this little bear.
Yang Liu was really annoyed by the noise, so he had to bend down and ask Su Chengyi if he liked the little bear.
Su Chengyi squeezed the little bear's soft belly and said nothing for a while.
Yangliu subconsciously thought that he didn't like it, so he offered to let his elder brother step aside, preparing to give a lecture on traditional virtues.
While Su Chengyi was clearing her throat, she handed the bear to her brother who was rolling on the ground.
Like it? dislike.
Can I give it to someone else? Can't.
Despite this, Xiao Su Chengyi accepted the reality without expression.
After returning home, Yang Liu told his grandfather about the incident, thinking that he would praise his grandson for knowing how to be humble and being a good boy.
Unexpectedly, my grandfather was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, banged the table and slammed the door. He even went straight to the cousin's house and took back the green sweater bear.
Afterwards, Yang Liuyitong was taught a lesson.
At that time, Su Chengyi couldn't understand the reason for his grandfather's anger. He just felt a little happy because of the lost bear.
But even so, I don’t really like it.
He silently placed the bear on the bedside.
Speaking of which, I have been with him for many years.
Su Chengyi squeezed the little bear's paw, wondering if it would turn black after staying here for so long.
It will be taken away in a moment.
Under the little bear's butt is a stack of shining gold certificates.
Chen Jin felt like he was going to be blinded by the aura of the top student.
If these certificates were posted up, they would probably fill an entire room.
Provincial Three Best Students, Learning Models, Outstanding Young Pioneers, and Five Best Young Men.
In addition to awards from these schools, there are also awards from various competitions.
The Best Scientific and Technological Invention Award, the Olympiad Award, the Creative Composition Award, in short, almost all the certificates you can think of can be found in this pile.
"Guess which one is the most precious here?"
Su Chengyi looked serious.
"Yeah"
Chen Jinzhi frowned and thought, for this great god to say very precious words in person, it should be at least a national level competition, right?
It is very difficult, very rare, and very difficult for him to get.
Su Chengyi took out the bottom one and handed it to her hand.
"Congratulations to Su Chengyi, a student from Class 1, for having a close relationship with his teacher and classmates this year. I hereby award——"
Chen Jinzhi slowly read:
"The gift of friendship Star title.”
She burst into laughter.
It turns out to be such a precious method! I even got it when I was in primary one. Is it possible that I haven’t had it since I entered middle school?
Chen Jinzhi was also a well-known outstanding student when she was a child. She was popular and knew how to get into trouble. The most indispensable thing is such a certificate.
It is completely unexpected that the most precious thing in Su Chengyi's eyes is such a certificate that can be obtained as long as he does not have conflicts with his classmates or be sued by his classmates!
Yes, after all, rare things are more valuable.
Chen Jinzhi rearranged the certificate and carefully put it back into the box.
"Be careful, there is a paper airplane."
Su Chengyi raised his hand to block it, and took out the paper airplane from the bottom of the box.
After all the things inside were taken out, it naturally slipped down and was almost crushed this time.
"Is this a paper airplane?"
Chen Jinzhi looked a little confused.
This is exactly a model airplane, isn’t it?
Whose paper airplane looks exactly like a real airplane!
"Yes."
Su Chengyi nodded, fiddled with it, and showed her "Made in China" written in red pen on the tail wing.
This paper airplane can fly very far. Once it hung on the top of a big tree in the front yard, Su Zelang risked his life to climb up and retrieve it.
Su Zelang is not so sacrificial, but he knows very well that if everyone persuades Su Chengyi not to do this, it would be better to make another one.
Then my son will definitely nod in agreement in front of everyone.
Then
he will climb up and pick up the paper airplane by himself while no one is paying attention.
That tree is so tall, it’s no joke if you fall down, your head will explode.
So, let dad handle such dangerous matters.
When Su Zelang was halfway up, his legs were already fighting, and he didn't dare to look down at all.
But there is no other way. Only a father can understand this feeling. His son is looking at him. What kind of man is he if he gets timid at this time?
With grit and determination, he still climbed up. When he got the paper plane, his sense of accomplishment was just like climbing Mount Everest.
Looking at him, I almost wanted to plant a flag to commemorate him.
Su Chengyi thought that if he mentioned this matter to Su Zelang now, he would brag about himself for another thousand or eight hundred words.
Chen Jinzhi weighed the paper airplane in his hand and praised with a crooked look:
“It’s really amazing.”
Su Chengyi felt like she was being praised in her childhood. Likewise, some untimely complacency suddenly arose.
"This cardboard box is a bit like a time machine."
Chen Jinzhi's eyes were gentle.
“Seeing these objects is like meeting you when you were a child.
I am very happy that you are willing to bring me here.
Sometimes I feel very sorry. , I met you too late, and I also want to grow up with you.”
Su Chengyi looked into her eyes and suddenly felt very grateful to Yang Liu for leaving behind this pile of "garbage"-like objects.
These objects made him realize at this moment that he was far less alien than he remembered.
Like all boys of this age, he will have unrealistic dreams of being a hero, will be unhappy when his toys are robbed, and will cherish hard-won awards.
And there are still people who are looking forward to meeting him like this.
The paper airplane of childhood finally flew back into her hands.
