Su Li didn't have the money to take a bus home, so she felt anxious and uneasy when she saw that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around her and the sky was getting dark.

After she stood under the stop sign for about half an hour, bus No. 7 stopped in front of her, and her father got off the bus.

For the first time, she felt that her father's gloomy face looked so kind.

After following my father back home successfully, my father sat on the sofa in the living room and said seriously, "The teacher called me on your mobile phone. She said you skipped class."

"Yeah." Su Li admitted the fact that she skipped class.

"Why?" Dad asked, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Didn't the teacher tell you why?" Su Li asked.

"No." Dad shook his head, and the gloom on his face was replaced by doubt.

"I got up too late in the morning and didn't have time to eat. My stomach always growled during class. The teacher thought I was noisy and kicked me out." Su Li said very calmly, as if she was talking about someone else's business, "I don't like that.

teacher."

"It's certainly wrong for the teacher to do this, but it's even more wrong for you to skip class." Dad was very excited.

Su Li didn't want to say anything more and went directly to the second floor.

The next day, Su Li did not go to school. This time, she lay in bed and watched Sanmao's "The Story of the Sahara". She was so envious of Sanmao and Jose's love that she didn't put it down until three o'clock in the afternoon.

Book break.

Little Steamed Bun had a great time running around the room playing with paper balls.

Su Li suddenly remembered what she said to the old woman last night, "I'm going to buy food and I'll be back soon."

I wonder if the old lady will sit in front of the door and wait for her. When she thought this way, she felt so guilty that she stood up and pulled out a small wooden box from under the desk. It was full of money, one hundred yuan in red.

Stacked together. Her father would give her three hundred yuan every month. Many times she didn’t need that much money at all. She kept saving it and actually saved a lot.

She took out a brand new one hundred yuan note and walked out to the vegetable market. At this time, there were more and more people in the vegetable market. Su Li stopped in front of a flower shop and bought various flower seeds.

, including hyacinths, cornflowers, roses, roses...

When passing by a steamed bun shop, Su Li glanced over subconsciously. A woman was giving change to a customer, and a little boy was playing with dough nearby. When he saw Su Li, he bared his teeth and made a face at her.

After the woman found the money, she shouted upstairs, "Ling An, take a look at the water on the pot."

Ling An? Su Li was stunned for a moment. The name on the grid book in the small schoolbag jumped out of her memory. She stepped forward and said, "Auntie, give me two buns."

The woman smiled enthusiastically and quickly loaded two fat white buns for her.

"Auntie, is your family name Gu?" Su Li mustered up the courage to ask.

The woman was stunned for a moment, as if this was the first time she was asked such a question, and she was a little confused.

Su Li felt that her question was really abrupt, so she took the bun and ran away immediately, as if she had left.

When I went to the old woman's house, she was sitting at the door blowing the air. I saw a confused look on her face and asked, "Who are you?"

Su Li originally thought that the old woman would be happy when she saw her, but she didn't expect that she would ask such a question. It seemed that the old man's mental state was not stable. She handed over the flower seeds in her hand and said, "The flower seeds your grandson bought, I

Help deliver it."

When the old woman heard this, she immediately burst into laughter, "Chen'er is so considerate." She said, taking the seeds, and then looking at Su Li with a look of anticipation on her face, she asked, "Are you Chen'er's friend?"

Su Li nodded hesitantly.

The old woman immediately started laughing again, "Chen'er has never had any friends. You are the first one. Come in quickly and sit down for a while."

Su Li wanted to say, "No, I'm going back." But she couldn't bear the old man's enthusiasm and was dragged into the house.

The old man pulled her to sit down, brought a plate of mung bean cakes, picked one up and put it into her hand, "What's your name? Are you Chen'er's classmate?"

Su Li responded obediently, "My name is Su Li. I am not his classmate, but we are in the same school."

"Oh." The old woman still smiled happily, "Besides you, has Chen'er made any new friends in school?"

Su Li shook her head, intending to say she didn't know, but the old woman took her shaking head as a sign of no, and sighed, "He has been like that since he was a child. He doesn't like to make friends or talk to people. He is withdrawn. Although his grades are not bad, the teacher

Said he was very unpopular." His tone was half sigh and half distressed.

Just as Su Li was about to say something, a tall boy suddenly stood at the door. He was very thin, wearing a navy blue T-shirt, holding a drawing board, and the hem of the T-shirt was dyed with some paint.

The old woman stood up immediately when she saw him, "Chen'er, why are you here so late today!"

The boy walked in, glanced at Su Li, and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

The old woman answered for her, "Your friend brought you flower seeds."

"Flower seeds?" The boy's brows knitted into a knot, and he looked at Su Li with a puzzled expression.

Su Li felt that this boy didn't seem to welcome her, so she didn't want to stay any longer. She stood up and said to the old woman, "I'm going back first." After that, she hurried out the door.

The old woman shouted to her from behind, "Come here often if you have nothing to do." Then she said to the boy, "Chen'er, give it to me."

The boy walked out obediently and followed Su Li. Su Li heard his footsteps, soft and regular.

She wanted to turn around and say there was no need to send her off, but she was afraid that the other party would reply, "I didn't see you off, I was just about to go out," so she simply walked forward.

The two of them walked one behind the other, with three steps in between.

The alley was very quiet, and the wind blew in from the entrance of the alley. It first blew over Su Li's face, then went around to the boy and lifted his short hair.

After a long while the boy spoke, "You asked me yesterday that your mother left you and left. So, is your mother like this too?"

Su Li didn't expect that he would ask this, so she was stunned for a moment, and looked back at him. He also stopped and happened to be standing in the shadow of a pillar, his expression unclear.

"Yeah." She just hummed without saying anything more.

"What's the reason?" The other party asked in a probing manner.

Su Li didn't have to answer, but she hesitated and answered, "Maybe you're not used to my dad's lifestyle."

"Oh." The boy looked down at the bluestone floor. He was silent for a long time and then raised his head and said, "Like my mother, she and my father have different views and always quarrel."

Su Li was slightly surprised, "I always thought that only my family was like that."

"I've always thought so." After the boy said this, he walked out of the shadow of the pillar. Su Li looked at him, and both of them suddenly smiled.

In this way, two hearts with the same scars came together in an instant.
