Xin Xiaolu entered the leisure summer vacation earlier than usual. In the city where she has lived for a few years, summer is a lively city center, busy crowds, rare green streets, and hot days when you need to get into an air-conditioned room.

But the sand pool is different. Whether it is the sun or the sea, summer has a special flavor.

There are not many people here, and people are slow in pace, not as busy as in big cities. Early in the morning, they changed their clothes and got up. Before the sun went up, my grandfather had watered the flowers and plants in the garden, and then took them to the small vegetable market.

The early morning vegetable market is probably one of the two most lively moments of the day. Fresh vegetables are placed at the stalls. There are many large white and red pots on the ground, crowded with fresh fish and various seafood. Living in coastal cities, seafood is always cheaper and fresher than inland.

As Xin Xiaolu was walking, a fish jumped up from a large basin next to her, and it hit her feet with her mouth closed. It's like a touch porcelain scene.

The middle-aged fish seller knew his grandfather and told him with a smile: "Mr. Du, is your grandson and grandson coming back? I haven't seen him grow up like this in years!"

He spoke Mandarin, with a little accent from the sand pool, which sounded a little strange. Xin Xiaolu learned from Xin Yanlai that his grandpa was a high school math teacher before he retired.

After chatting with the fish seller for a while, my grandfather asked him to pack up the fish that jumped to the foot of Xin Xiaolu and buy it away. Xin Xiaolu watched Xin Yan carrying the fish, thinking that the fish sellers are all well-trained now, knowing that they are selling themselves, and taking the initiative to recommend this fish.

Xin Yan came to hear what she said, carrying the fish and laughing all the way. The aunts who were selling vegetables all praised that the child was handsome and a good boy. Blushing with praise. After leaving the vegetable market, grandpa bought two kinds of side dishes in a lo-mei shop outside.

He is an old man who doesn't like to talk. It's rare that he actively boasted this stewed vegetable shop with two juniors at this moment: "Duck feet and duck intestines are good. The stew is homemade and fragrant."

The shop owner grinned while packing up the braised duck intestines for them: "No, this duck tastes the best in our family. Teacher Du often buys it... Oh, is this a junior of Teacher Du?"

Grandpa: "Grandson and granddaughter, come here for summer vacation."

His old man took his two children to the shops he frequented with a calm look, and introduced his grandson and granddaughter to the people he knew. He didn't take the initiative to speak, but waited for others to ask before explaining, and he praised the achievements of the two people, which seemed particularly reserved.

Walking home in the morning light, the sun soon became a little bit dry. Xin Yan took off his hat and put it on the head of Xin Xiaolu next to him, sighing, "Grandpa, there are many people here who remember me." "

Grandpa grumbled, "You look like your mother, you can tell it at first glance."

Xin Xiaolu raised his hand and put on a slightly wider hat, and saw the little brother's smile pause. His attitude towards his father and stepmother at home was very polite, so polite to almost indifferent, but his indifferent attitude was not born with him, he was gentle and considerate to the people who cared, and he was also very cheerful. There are probably many sad things in his heart.

Sea waves can be heard in Xin Xiaolu's room. When it is quiet at night, the sound of the waves is particularly obvious. Even if she can't sleep, she can listen to it for a long time when she lies quietly in bed.

That night, when she was lying on the bed listening to the sound of the waves, she suddenly heard a very slight sound of the sliding door, which came from the room where Xin Yan came from next door.

Xin Xiaolu got up, walked to the balcony next door, and opened the door to go out. Sure enough, Xin Yan was sitting on the small balcony next door, looking at the sea in silence. Hearing the sound, Xin Yan looked at her, "Xiaolu, can't you sleep again?"

"Yeah." Xin Xiaolu sat down on the small wicker chair on the balcony.

The two balconies were very close, and Xin Yanlai was close to her. The two sat there looking at the sea, and the shell wind chimes hanging by Xin Yanlai's hands made a crisp sound.

There is a very bright moonlight tonight, and the sea and the beach below are very clear, which is a very beautiful picture. Xin Xiaolu leaned her head against the railing. After a while, she felt that her head was gently touched. She looked up and found that the little brother didn’t know when he stopped looking at the sea. He also leaned on the railing and watched quietly. Looking at her, his eyes were as soft and bright as the moonlight tonight.

"Xiaolu, do you like this place?"

"like."

"I also like it very much... It's just that my mother died in this house. After my dad took me, I would rarely come back here again." If it weren't for Xin Xiaolu this time, he would probably have to pass. It will take a few years to come back here, if that is the case, he thinks he might regret it.

"I didn't dare to come back here before." Xin Yanlai did not wear glasses, his eyes were down, his hair was slightly messy, and his voice was light: "But I want to come back again in my heart, thanks to you being with me."

Xin Xiaolu stretched out his hand and touched his head. Like a little boy, he will show this expression when he wants comfort.

Her hands were always colder than ordinary people, and Xin Yanlai subconsciously grabbed the hands she was touching on her head. Xin Xiaolu didn't take it back either, holding his fingers casually. The two held hands across a balcony, and no one spoke for a while. Xin Xiaolu looked at the sea calmly with a pillow on his arm, feeling Xin Yanlai's warm palm move, as if he wanted to pull it out, but he hesitated for a long time, and finally he gently held her.

Wow-wow-

The waves and moonlight at night are so gentle. She seemed to have been listening to this voice even in her dreams.

The hottest time of the day is in the afternoon. Even if Xin Xiaolu arrived here, he could not escape the torture of the little brother Xueba. The little brother has a habit of getting used to it for three days in a new place, and then he will start to learn .

He rented a bicycle and went to the courier site to bring back two couriers. It was strange. Xin Xiaolu didn’t know what it was. He leaned over and took a look. He saw that he had opened a stack of books and workbooks, and he was in the third grade. Big things are bad.

In the past summer vacations, Xin Yuan's poor child was blocked in front, but now she is the only one. She left her little brother immediately, pretending not to see him.

It's a pity that this kind of self-deception is impossible. Xin Yanlai likes her and likes her. She has never relaxed in her study. The book specially sent by people is to help Xin Xiaolu study hard every day during the summer vacation.

Every afternoon at three or four in the afternoon, when Xin Xiaolu wakes up from a nap, Xin Yanlai will hold her and teach for two hours. The two of them are in the living room on the first floor. There will be no sun in the afternoon and the sea can be seen from the floor-to-ceiling windows. There is a cool breeze in the shade. It is a good place to cool off. When you are tired, you can turn your head and look at the sea in the distance to relax your eyes.

Grandpa was afraid that the two of them would be hot, so he took an electric fan and blew at them.

Xin Xiaolu was in a daze after finishing a lesson and did not want to do it, so he quietly put down his pen. Xin Yan came to see that she was bored with her studies, closed the book and stood up: "Xiaolu, shall we go buy ice cream?"

"Okay." Xin Xiaolu followed him out.

Xin Yan came to look at the dazzling sun outside, took off the two straw hats made by grandpa himself, one was buttoned on Xin Xiaolu's head, and the other was worn by himself. One of them was wearing a white T-shirt and blue washed jeans, and the other was wearing a denim skirt of the same color with two big yellow straw hats, looking mixed and matched.

Walking to the yard, Xin Yanlai lightly pinched a rose in the yard, said shhh to Xin Xiaolu who was holding the brim of the straw hat, and led her to run out of the yard quickly. When they walked outside, Xin Yanlai put the rose on Xin Xiaolu’s straw hat, and chuckled twice, “Grandpa won’t let him pick his flowers. Let’s go quietly, don’t let him find out. Up."

Xin Xiaolu touched the soft rose flowers on his hat, and felt that the little brother had been exposed to the sun.

The nearest store was about a kilometer away. There were no people on the street. The two walked alone in the sun, the shadows high and low. When he arrived at the store, Xin Yan came to the freezer to get ice cream. Xin Xiaolu ran to the refrigerator and took out a large bottle of Coke.

"Xiaolu, what kind of ice cream do you want to eat?" Xin Yanlai picked it up, looking back and saw Xin Xiaolu holding a large bottle of Coke.

"Coke isn't..." Xin Yan came to see that Xin Xiaolu had put the Coke on the counter, "...okay."

Xin Xiaolu went to him again to choose ice cream, "This, milk flavor."

Xin Yan came: "Okay, it tastes milk." He took a small box and prepared to go back and put it in the refrigerator to eat slowly.

On the way back, Xin Yanlai was holding a box of small ice cream in one hand and a small milk-flavored ice cream in the other. Xin Xiaolu was holding her large bottle of Coke and gnawing on a milk ice cream.

When I got home, I put the ice cream, and poured a large glass of ice-cola for Xin Xiaolu. For these reasons, Xin Xiaolu was willing to be patient and accompany him to do his homework for another hour.

At the end of June, Xin Yanlai's college entrance examination results came out. When Xin Xiaolu heard Xin Yan coming to answer the phone, it was President Xin who called. The other party first asked Mr. Yue if he was there. When he heard that he was there, his voice became louder.

When they were sitting on the balcony to look at the sea at night, Xin Xiaolu heard Xin Yan say why his father was so afraid of grandpa, because when his mother was depressed and committed suicide, grandpa beat Mr. Xin who came to the door and gave him all his legs. I interrupted. I heard that it took several months to raise him. Later, he was always afraid of the old man, and even more of a guilty conscience.

President Xin didn't scold Xin Yanlai this time, his voice couldn't hide the joy and pride, and Xin Xiaolu quickly heard Xin Yanlai's achievements.

First in the school, the provincial champion.

On this day, Xin Yanlai did not turn off the phone. Many people called him. Teachers and classmates were all Dao Xi. President Xin called two and urged him to go back. Xin Yanlai did not agree. President Xin just wanted to be angry on the phone, grandpa. He coughed deliberately just beside Xin Yanlai.

President Xin: "Ah...then you accompany your grandfather."

After hanging up the phone, my grandfather asked him, "Really not going back? We have to deal with those things at school."

Xin Yan came: "It's okay, I have discussed with the teacher, if there is a need at that time, I will go back one day by myself."

He had a plan for himself, but Grandpa didn't ask much, he waved his hand, "Go, let's go out tonight to celebrate your good results."

Grandpa took them and ate the most famous barbeque at the seaside night market.
