July was sultry, and the summer wind brought the stuffiness of the air, making the cicadas chirp a lot longer.
Jiang Shuisheng measured Jiang Sui’s height with a tape measure. Jiang Sui, who was almost thirteen years old, had grown two centimeters and was now 157cm. Jiang Shuisheng smiled cheerfully: “Sui Sui has grown taller again. Eat more and you will be taller than your father in the future.”
Jiang Sui also smiled with her eyes bent.
It was too hot this summer, and the gauze on her face was repeatedly infected, especially the time in the back mountain, which aggravated the injury. In July, Jiang Shui took her to remove the gauze because he was afraid that the wound would not be able to breathe.
The doctor carefully removed the gauze, and Jiang Sui cooperated very well, obediently turning half of her face.
Everyone looked at half of her face and said nothing for a long time.
The girl’s eyelashes were long, not very warped, but thick and light. Her cheeks were small but not thin, and slightly fleshy. Her peach blossom eyes were bright and big, with a light pink halo at the end of her eyes. But there was a faint mark on the milky white skin.
The childish face made her look like a well-behaved angel with a smile.
The doctor was almost menged by her: “Oh, your daughter is so good-looking. It makes me want to have a second child.”
Jiang Sui turned around and blinked.
The bruises on the other half of her face had also faded. In fact, if she hadn’t fallen so seriously on the back hill last time, her injuries would have been cured long ago.
The doctor touched her slightly curly soft hair: “You are recovering well from your injury. It is estimated that the scab will fall off in less than two weeks. Go back to nurse the wound, and don’t do balance exercises for the time being. It’s hot and heat stroke is not good. Cover it up for a summer vacation, and you will be extremely beautiful.”
Jiang Shuisheng had also struggled for a long time. He scratched his head and smiled honestly and happily. He and his wife were not very good-looking, so why did Suisui look so beautiful and delicate?
Jiang Sui thanked the doctor. Jiang Shuisheng obeyed the “doctor’s advice” and told Jiang Sui not to go out to practice balance exercises for the time being. She could help him deal with the Pinellia mud at home or finish the summer homework for junior high school.
Now that she didn’t live in the same courtyard as Chi Yiming, Jiang Sui was naturally happy to get better soon.
….
The summer in the courtyard was sunny. In August, Sun Xiaowei led a group of boys from the courtyard to play football in the yard.
Among all the young boys, he was the best dressed. The jeans were the same style that his grandfather specially brought back from the imperial capital. He looked like a little rich second generation. He was fourteen years old and studying in a private junior high school. He was not in the same school as Chi Yiming, Jiang Sui and others.
His football passed over several brightly blooming platycodon flowers and smashed the window with a “click”.
The glass fragments were scattered everywhere, and someone laughed happily: “Sun Xiaowei, you smashed the glass in Uncle Jiang’s house, let’s see what you do!”
What did Sun Xiaowei have to be afraid of? He waved his hand nonchalantly: “It’s okay. Uncle Jiang has a good temper. Just say it and it’ll be okay. I’ll just pay for it.”
He was extremely wealthy. In 2000, it was considered good for teenagers to have five dollars in their pockets. But he took out an amount of one hundred and fifty.
Others looked at him with envy. It was great to have an official father and a rich grandfather.
If they had broken the neighbor’s window, they would have panicked to death, but Sun Xiaowei had no consciousness of causing trouble.
He stood on the small patch of childish platycodon flowerbed and raised his voice in a silly voice: “Uncle Jiang! I’m sorry, the football broke your glass.”
No one answered for a while, and after a while, there was the sound of footsteps.
Sun Xiaowei waited for a while, thinking in his mind that a window in a courtyard was really cheap these days, and paying twenty or thirty yuan would be a great honor. Jiang Shuisheng was a nice person, and he would never think about complaining to his fierce and upright father.
As he was thinking happily and without any pressure, a little girl climbed onto the window sill and looked at him through the broken window.
The warm sunshine of August cut into pieces of gold, and the chirping of cicadas gently disturbed the eardrums of summer.
The girl’s peach blossom eyes were twinkling, her long eyelashes were trembling on her fair face, and she looked at him with some anger.
Sun Xiaowei: “…” His mind went blank, and he blushed for a long time. The redness spread from his cheeks to his ears.
Sun Xiaowei stammered: “Yes, I’m sorry, I, I was playing football, I didn’t mean to… I broke the window of your house, no, no, I will pay for it.”
The girl’s voice was like a bell, and she accused displeasedly: “Sun Xiaowei, you even stepped on my platycodon flower.”
W-what flower?
The face in front of her was as gorgeous as a peach and a plum, like a little fairy. The young man was stunned for a long time. He looked down at his feet and saw a few pitiful blue-purple flowers dying under his trampling. Sun Xiaowei’s neck was now red.
His heart was beating fast, like a headless fly, he jumped out of the small flower bed and hurriedly held the flower stems with his hands.
“I’m sorry, I picked it for you, no, I mean, I’ll plant it for you!” He almost bit his tongue.
From the side, the boys in the distance could only see Sun Xiaowei digging in the dirt with a red face.
“What’s wrong with Sun Xiaowei?”
“Is the devil stunned? Hahaha, what is he doing, digging soil and planting flowers?”
“How silly, hahaha.”
Sun Xiaowei didn’t dare. He couldn’t hear anything now and his face was so red that he was bleeding.
He randomly took out 150 yuan and put it all on Jiang’s window sill, then ran away.
Jiang Sui held the 150 yuan blankly and stuck her head out angrily: “Sun Xiaowei, what on earth are you doing?” She unexpectedly met the eyes of a group of people watching from a distance.
The laughter of the teenagers stopped suddenly, and no one laughed at Sun Xiaowei anymore. Slowly, all of them blushed.
