Guo Nuanchun:

My name is Guo Nuanchun, I am twenty years old this year. There is a mother and a fifteen-year-old younger brother in the family. The younger brother is Guo Liangchou. Nuanchun is better than Liangchou. I think this should be an expectation our mother gave to us brothers.

My parents divorced when I was ten years old. At that time, Xiaochou was only five years old. I hugged him and hugged under the table in the living room. There were wreckage of furniture smashed by my parents everywhere. I was very scared, but looking at my younger brother, I knew I would be strong. The sound of parents quarrels came from my ears. Suddenly, the man who was my father suddenly snatched the door and never came back...

My younger brother was awakened by scaring and started crying loudly. My mother was also crying in the inner room. I didn’t know what to do, what can I do? As I thought about it, my tears also flowed down.

After a while, my mother came out of the room. I saw my eyes that were red and swollen from crying and bruises visible to the naked eye. My mother has always been a kind woman. She is gentle and kind, but now she is broken and fragile. I saw my mother crying and holding my brother and I in my arms, crying loudly and saying that she is sorry for us, it is all her fault.

From that day on, I secretly made up my mind to be sensible and not let my mother worry anymore. I have to grow up quickly so that I can protect my mother and Xiaochou.

At that day, I no longer pay attention to the street vendors, nor do I pay attention to the call of my friends. I began to pay attention to everything that would make my mother happy. She would laugh when she saw me well in the exam. Then I would get the grades for you every time.

We lived in the old house. The family was not rich and had foreign debts. Seeing my mother working from 9 to 5 every day, I began to make money secretly, from helping her classmates run errands to earn some royalties in composition competitions, and then to full scholarships every year. But every time I happily took the money I saved and got it to my mother, my mother would laugh, but every time I left, my mother would cry secretly, and I didn't want my mother to cry.

After I went to junior high school, I started working in restaurants near the school. Actually, I really like this feeling of self-reliance. Although I didn’t make much money, I was very fulfilling and at ease. Although I knew that my teachers and classmates who worked part-time all thought I was pitiful, I didn’t think that everyone has a different family and a different lifestyle. I don’t think I am different from others.

Xiaochou is in elementary school. He is braver than I thought. Maybe he has experienced more than others. Xiaochou has been very calm and unwilling to talk since he was a child, but every time he is brilliant in front of me and my mother, he is just a child. I know that Xiaochou has the same idea as me, and I am very pleased.

Do you think I am miserable when you see this? Really, I have a sensible younger brother and an understanding mother. Let me tell you another good news. The family’s foreign debt can be paid off immediately, so that my mother can breathe a sigh of relief.

Later I went to high school, which was a high school with very cheap tuition. As usual, I found a place to work early, but the high school seemed to be in a different environment than I had in the past. The people here were not that friendly, and the classmates in the class often laughed at me for working, but I didn't care. Do I complain about what others said? That's ridiculous. I said I wanted to give my mother and brother a better environment.

At the beginning of high school, my grades were still very good, but gradually I felt a little difficult. After all, the intensity of high school study was too high, and I had to take time to work and make money. I could feel my regression. The teacher also talked to me several times and told me to give up working and concentrate on studying. If there were any difficulties at home, I would tell the teacher and I refused.

That's right, I don't have many friends, to be honest, no one will be willing to be friends with people who only want to make money, but I don't care. It's actually good to be alone, right? But one thing that makes me think is that a lot of working experience has allowed me to accumulate a lot of social experience. No matter what happens, I won't be afraid of anything. I often meet bosses who appreciate me at work and receive encouragement from them. I live a passionate life.

But I often think, if I hadn't missed the college entrance examination at that time, what would I look like now? After entering the third year of high school, I knew that fish and bear's paws could not have both, so I only went out to be a tutor on my rest days and used it for my daily study. But I did lose a lot, but it was okay because I didn't want to go to a good school. I believe that if I was a capable person, I could make a name for myself everywhere. But I missed the college entrance examination. If I had a good rest during the three days of rest, wouldn't I have missed it? But where did the world come from? Maybe all this was destined long ago.

Since I missed it, let it float like the wind. I gave up on the college entrance examination and ignored the teacher's advice to repeat the exam. I only remember that when I told my mother that I gave up on the college entrance examination, my mother, who was filled with tears, just said one sentence - If this is your choice, my mother will definitely respect you.

Hey, Liangchou, you must study hard in the future, have you heard it?

I was not used to my study career all at once, but I didn’t have time to adapt. I found a job in a canteen at Z University. First, I was close to home, and I also had my own little thoughts. Which student has no dream of college? I can still go to the library to read books in my spare time, so why not? Uncle Wang in the canteen is a neighbor of my family, and he takes good care of me with Sister Zhou.

Later, I met a girl named Yang Shiqing.

I still remember the first day of school, which was also my first day at work. I was assigned to the B-door in the canteen. I was not very skilled yet. I didn’t officially start work, but followed Sister Zhou and watched her serve food. I still remember that it was already past mealtime and there was no one in the canteen. Sister Zhou was about to take me out for a walk, but a girl ran in in a hurry and asked for a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs. I still remember that she kept saying "Auntie is a little more", and her eyes were curved when she smiled.

Then I could see her on the B-door every day. She would order sweet and sour pork ribs every time. If there were no sweet and sour pork ribs today, she would show a very disappointed expression. She liked to eat sweet and sour pork ribs.

The first time I talked to her was in such a situation. Fortunately, I have worked for so many years and have never seen any kind of customer, but she actually came to ask for guilt because she made the sweet and sour pork and Guerre. Now she still feels a little funny when she thinks about it.

And what she said last... How do you say it? To be honest, I didn't care at first. Really, I only met a few people and forgot it when I turned around. But later I seemed to find that this girl was different from what I met before. She would remember what you said to her. That day, she was just joking in the library. Then you lend me the book. Who would have thought that the next day she came to the cafeteria early in the morning to ask me to bring the book. Is this girl... serious?

Looking at the book she borrowed me, I was really interested in information, but I was only interested in it. But when I opened her book, I was shocked. The detailed annotations and my own opinions occupied all the places where I could write. This girl... It seems that she is called Yang Shiqing, right? Fortunately, Shiqing has a peach blossom face, which is quite nice.

Later, she would come to the cafeteria every day, order a bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs, sit in the seat where I can see me, and after eating, she held her hand to look at me, and left for a while. Then she met several times in the library, I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something, but it was very comfortable to get along with her. Although she stumbled into my life, she existed quietly and occasionally showed her existence. In this way, we became friends. It turned out that friends were like this, quite good.

Not only did she lend me her book, she also helped me solve many problems that I couldn't understand. In return, I didn't need me to teach her the questions of knowledge competitions. I could still see these little thoughts, but I didn't refuse. Do you know if I like this too?

Actually, I have seen it several times and heard it several times. There was a boy who seemed to be named Jiang Qiluo, and sometimes he would be next to her. On the day of the school basketball game, he also heard some people talking about their names and... some things, but I actually didn't care! I just thought it was strange.

Fortunately, I can still have a friend like Yang Shiqing, which has helped me a lot, so should I invite someone to have a meal to express my gratitude?

Mom, would I want to invite a friend to come to my house for dinner tomorrow?

Yes, yes, it’s a girl, hey, wherever you think of, it’s a friend!

I don't know if it will scare her, but it should be quite fun.
