The noisy and annoying old dog Doudou died in the spring without any illness at the age of fourteen.

Aunt Du was worried at first and said she would not tell Xu Xilin. Then she thought about it and realized that he was not blind. How could he not notice that such a big pile of living things in the house was gone? Then she asked Dou Xun, who happened to be home, to inform him.

Xu Xilin dug a hole in the backyard and buried Doudou. His mood didn't seem to be affected much.

"What a dog," he said to himself, "it only has such a long lifespan, there's nothing you can do about it."

As for people, although they live long enough to accompany each other, they are divided into old and young, and there are also natural and man-made disasters, which are all uncertain. Xu Xilin is already very calm. He found that a lot of people's pain comes from too much nostalgia. If you are worried about "

If you don’t have an obsession with the past, if you understand the truth that “the past is the past,” you will be less afraid that your life will become completely different.

This is just like turning seventeen this year, and there will never be another seventeen in this life. Although it is regrettable, it is normal. No one will seek death because of their birthday.

It's just that my grandma was not used to it. Without a dog in the house, more than half of the liveliness was missing. Xu Xilin stopped listening to her plays a few times, and his voice was no longer hoarse. He sat in a daze at the door of the courtyard, and he knew that she was lonely.

While Aunt Du was going out to buy groceries, Xu Xilin quietly said to her grandmother: "If Aunt Du leaves, let's go to the home economics center and ask someone to come back and talk to you, okay?"

Grandma Xu thought for a while and shook her head.

Xu Xilin thought that she was worried that the strangers invited from outside would not be easy to get along with, so he said: "It doesn't matter, our family doesn't have many things to do. At most, I will give you more money and hire someone with a good character who can talk. If it doesn't work, let Aunt Du introduce the fellow villagers."

, we all know each other, we are all relatives."

As a result, grandma quietly said to him: "It costs money to hire someone."

Xu Xilin was stunned on the spot.

His grandmother was, to put it mildly, a bit unworldly. When she was young, she relied on her husband. Later, when her husband died, her daughter was able to support the whole family. The two generations worked together in a tacit understanding to keep her doted on throughout her life.

She has a beautiful life, and she still looks decent when she goes out. Old men playing chess and walking around on the roadside are all vying to say hello to her.

She has never worried about food, rice, oil and salt in her life, and she still can't even light a fire. She is beautiful, poor and fastidious all the time. She never takes the initiative to ask the price when going out to buy things. She has to nod her head and say "yes" first, and then the seller will accompany her with a smiling face.

Quotation.

Ever since Xu Xilin could remember, she had never heard various pronouns for Aduwu from her mouth, as if it would dirty her mouth.

His expression was so unbelievable that grandma sighed a little worriedly: "You have to study now, and when you grow up, you have to get married and support a family. This all costs money. You didn't know these things before.

It will be good to know about it in the future."

Xu Xilin said incoherently: "Grandma, we... our family has enough money."

Grandma: "How much is enough? Save a little more now, and you will be less embarrassed when you encounter problems with money in the future..."

She was getting older and couldn't stop nagging him. She held him close and told him for a long time.

Xu Xilin responded indiscriminately and walked away. Of course, he didn't ask her to teach her how to live a life. He was just shocked. Because when Xu Jin was here, grandma might not even know how to write the three words "live a life". Now that she is seven years old, she

I actually learned this skill quietly!

Xu Xilin walked a few steps, stood on the stairs and turned around: "Grandma, what happened to Aunt Du..."

He originally wanted to ask "Aunt Du, do you really not want to do this anymore, or do you want to quit her?" But when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was boring.

He thought, does she know how much pork and eggs cost per pound? Does she know how much money Xu Jin left? She might not even be able to count the eight hundred yuan in cash given to her. She knows nothing about daily life. In the final analysis

, the backbone of the family collapsed, and she didn't think Xu Xilin could lift it up, so she felt uneasy and worried about leaving more things for him.

She has no confidence in this pampered grandson.

Grandma Xu asked with a smile: "How can Aunt Du do it?"

Xu Xilin shook his head in silence. While swallowing the inappropriate question, he also swallowed his confession, "Don't worry, rely on me. I can make a lot of money and take care of you comfortably." Similar words he said

If you have done it once and basically failed to do it, it will be shameful to talk about it again. It is better to keep it in your heart.

Since then, Xu Xilin has had more things on his mind, and the impetuousness around him has almost disappeared. He no longer looks like a young man who is proud of having friends, and he can sit still and save several dollars every day.

I piled up all the nonsense about cars and kept it to talk to my grandma when I got home.

Although Dou Xun avoided Xu Xilin, he heard everything he should have heard. A week after Doudou was buried, one day he suddenly brought a living animal home.

It was a gray parrot. I don’t know where Dou Xun got it from. It was a strange looking parrot. It was probably a young bird. Its body was disproportionate and ugly, which is typical of small animals. It was in a strange place.

I'm a little scared, my feathers will explode from time to time, or I'll walk around on the shelf twice uneasily.

This bird probably didn't get along with Dou Xun. It screamed into his ears all the way, making his brain hurt. When he got home and saw his grandmother, he shut up and pretended to be quiet and well-behaved.

"It can talk, but you have to teach it slowly. Once you learn it, I can chat with you. I heard that the intelligence is not bad, but I don't know what the personality is like." Dou Xun explained to his grandmother a little cautiously, and then specifically added, "Life span

It's very long, it can live fifty or sixty years."

Grandma Xu liked it so much that she pulled Dou Xun to ask long and short questions. Just as she was talking, Xu Xilin came back. Dou Xun glanced at him with a complicated expression, took the opportunity to get rid of grandma's "torture of love", and quickly went upstairs.

Xu Xilin absent-mindedly watched the birds with his grandmother for a while. This guy probably didn't like men. Not only did he treat Dou Xun badly, but he also pecked Xu Xilin when her grandmother wasn't paying attention. Seeing that her grandmother was happy, he didn't say anything. He felt that he

You may be separated from your pets for the rest of your life.

Then he went upstairs slowly, and as soon as he put his hand on the handle of Dou Xun's door, the door opened with a creak, and it was actually ajar. Xu Xilin was startled, and it was too late to go back.

The two of them had been in a cold war for more than a month. During this period, Dou Xun had not said a word to him except for sending him a text message at Aunt Du's request. The look in Dou Xun's eyes downstairs just now made Xu Xilin think that he might

I wanted to talk to myself, but I couldn't save my dignity, so I went upstairs hesitantly.

The sound of the door startled Dou Xun, and he turned around quietly.

Xu Xilin's throat moved slightly, and he asked nervously: "Does the bird chirp loudly?"

Dou Xun paused, then took the step calmly, and said, "I won't bark when I grow up."

Xu Xilin breathed a sigh of relief - this seemed to be a ceremony. After this level, the two people were reconciled.

Xu Xilin: "Can I ask you a question?"

Dou Xun said "Oh", stood up and followed him to the living room.

The anger came and went quickly. Ever since Dou Xun calmed down, he had been regretting it every second, but it was impossible for him to take the initiative to apologize - and he couldn't. What should I say? Shouldn't he have kissed you that day?

They have no choice but to consume each other.

He had saved up his feelings and tenderness for a month, and finally had an outlet. It was so good that it didn't look like him anymore. After finishing the topic, Dou Xun sat silently aside, opened Xu Xilin's devastated English reading special training, and lowered his head.

I used a highlighter pen to draw out the original text corresponding to each wrong question. It was very clever.

The gray parrot downstairs couldn't see the annoying boys, so it naturally became quiet. It only barked lightly occasionally and didn't make any noise at all.

Dou Xun lowered his head, holding a plastic ruler and a highlighter without any distractions. His white cuffs were spotless, his wrist bones were rugged, his palms seemed a little thin, his brows were quiet, and his facial features were beautiful. He was a kind-hearted and handsome boy.

The handsome young man usually has a bad temper and is so angry that others only think that his face is hateful and does not reveal his beauty. With such a change of temper, his deeply hidden good intentions will "come to light". Dou Xun does not beat around the bush or sweet talk.

She doesn't pretend to be pretentious either. Behind her 20 points of tenderness and considerateness is a hundred and twenty points of sincerity. She always remembers whoever she has in her eyes, which makes people feel particularly moved when they think about it.

Xu Xilin glanced at him and wandered away for a while. He remembered the differences between the two that had been suppressed for a while and the issues that Dou Xun was pursuing. He couldn't help but follow the twisted train of thought for a while and put himself on the TV.

Some of the scenes seen here, imagining that I walked over, hugged Dou Xun, and pulled the hands that he had looked at for a long time... There is no need for the part about holding hands and looking at the tearful eyes - and then touching him tiredly.

Here, touch him there, kiss him...

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, because he only saw love from TV and young couples on the roadside, which was a "famous and decent" trick. The next step was to follow Wu Tao and his group from Internet cafes.

Although there is a natural attraction, but for now, it still belongs to the "devil cult" sorcery. You can just ponder it secretly in your room. It is not easy to do such an unorthodox thing in broad daylight in front of others.

god.

Xu Xilin thought about it for a while. For a while, he thought a little: "Actually, give it a try..."

Just when he was thinking this, Dou Xun accidentally noticed his distraction and asked, "Are you tired?"

Xu Xilin: "Uh... cough, a little bit."

Before he could react, Dou Xun went downstairs to get a drink without saying a word.

Xu Xilin took a look and saw two bottles of iced black tea.

Xu Xilin: "..."

Dou Xun explained in a subtle way: "This is the only one left in the refrigerator."

When Xu Xilin was about to take it, Dou Xun also stretched out his hand. Their fingertips touched awkwardly, and Xu Xilin paused.

Dou Xun came to his senses and cursed himself in disbelief: "Are you sick? Can't he unscrew the bottle cap by himself?"

But his hand had already been stretched out, and it would be even more embarrassing to take it back. Dou Xun gritted his teeth and felt nervous. He quickly picked up the drink bottle, unscrewed the cap, and put it back again like a thief. A series of actions were like stealing landmines.

, and then he looked at Xu Xilin uneasily, holding his breath involuntarily, as if he was shocked by his stupid behavior.

Xu Xilin wanted to laugh, but considering that the two had just reconciled, he was afraid that Dou Xun would become angry due to shame, so he held it back.

Then Xu Xilin drank a lot of drinks, and under the calming effect of the ice water, he noticed his secret weakness and compromise, and quickly said to himself the words he persuaded Dou Xun that day, word for word, to suppress his ups and downs.

The weather is getting hotter, and the college entrance examination is getting closer day by day, and everyone in the family is getting nervous, because Xu Xilin gets sick easily when the weather is hot, like this every year, and he will have a fever when he catches a cold, like a child, but I don’t know who is here this year

Bless him, he will always be healthy and active.

After reconciling with Dou Xun, both of them carefully avoided the previous incident. Dou Xun slowly accepted the fact that Xu Xilin had enrolled in another more secure school. He began to understand that everything could not go as he wanted, and others

It's impossible for everyone to follow his plan.

Dou Xun learned to give in stumblingly——

Wu Tao has excellent grades in physical education. It is said that if he takes the cultural exam when the time comes, he will be fine. He has studied in a key science class for three years. Although his grades have always been at the bottom, he has been taken out to compete with other students with special talents.

I am still very capable, my future is more than half settled, my passion that has been suppressed for a year is finally in full bloom, and I want to treat myself to a treat when I return to work.

Please come to Xu Xilin's place. He specifically said: "Is Dou Xun free on Sunday? Ask him to come with us. We used to have some festivals, so he and I can't be together."

Once a person graduates, all grudges and hatreds fade away, and he also knows how to keep connections for himself.

Dou Xun didn't want to go at first, but Xu Xilin said to him: "There are everyone in the world, and everyone has their own use. Is it better to have multiple annoying classmates or multiple annoying enemies?"

Dou Xun thought about it for a while and listened to what he said.

So on the weekend, a group of people who used to play together and then drifted away reunited at the school. Wu Tao, who picked up the school, and Cai Jing, who also came to study on Sunday, went back to their old places in a lively way.

Half curved.

In the dormitory, Li Bozhi wore a big vest and watched Wu Tao leave with gloomy eyes - his professional performance was not ideal, he was basically ignored at home, and he didn't know where he would go after graduation. He just bullied his roommates every day in school.

Back in the day, people like Wu Tao, who knew how to work hard and make progress, could be friends with him in the past, but when they reached their senior year of high school and were about to make a career, they naturally stopped being with him.

Li Bozhi was lying on the window with his little legs, pointing at Dou Xun's back and said to Li Bozhi: "Brother Tao, what do you mean? He asked us to beat that kid, and now he is playing with others?"
