The thin and ridiculous dwarf who wore glasses and was wearing them, grew into a handsome young man who admired and was confident, while the former Snow White became a dementia girl who followed the prince charming.

From that day on, the name Wu Yu has been throughout Ju Nian's youth.

Every morning jog, they still have a tacit understanding. Before going out, Ju Nian secretly stuffed an apple or orange into her sportswear pocket. When she walked in a place where there was no one, she turned around and threw it at Wu Yu: "Little monk, then."

Wu Yu likes apples. If the oranges are very sweet, he will keep them back for his grandmother. Wu Yu and his grandmother depend on each other and live on a minimum living allowance. Grandma is older and life is even more difficult, so Wu Yu wants to be better for her.

After entering junior high school, Wu Yu and Ju Nian were assigned to the same class. In the classroom, they were not as silly as good friends, but if someone bullies Ju Nian, Wu Yu would quietly walk to that person. He did not need violence. The title of the murderer's son is enough to make people feel that he can do anything.

After school, Ju Nian began to get used to walking home. Wu Yu's gadgets woven with dog tail grass and reed grass were very delicate, and Ju Nian was the only admirer. They would join forces to steal the dried sweet potatoes that were drying at the door of Uncle Cai's house. At that time, Uncle Cai had not opened a small shop. Usually, Ju Nian asked Uncle Cai a very serious question about life, and Wu Yu quickly grabbed a handful of them in the dustpan. When Uncle Cai turned around, the figure disappeared. Uncle Cai beat his chest and said, "It would be great if the children in this area were as obedient as Ju Nian. Ju Nian "behaved" on the road, chewing dried sweet potatoes in his mouth, and there was nothing in the world that tasted better than this.

Ju Nian was still obsessed with martial arts novels, and she had basically borrowed all the books in the nearby bookstores. At this time, her aunt and uncle had already restricted her reading of idle books. They searched her schoolbag from time to time and found that she was going to be scolded. She didn't dare to put the novel in her schoolbag, so she hid it by Wu Yu. Anyway, Wu Yu was even more careless than her. At night, Wu Yu climbed up the slope of the back wall of her aunt's house like a monkey, which was facing Ju Nian's room window. He gently tapped the glass of the window with a branch. When Ju Nian poked his head out, Wu Yu handed over the book, and Ju Nian would write the math homework for him that day.

Wu Yu doesn't like reading novels, he laughs at Ju Nian's addiction.

"What's there to attract you?" he always asked.

Ju Nian told him that the hero Xiao Qiushui in her heart had only one Xiao Qiushui and Tang Fang had only one.

But Wu Yu didn't agree. He said that Xiao Qiushui's name is like a girl, but it doesn't look like a hero. The hero must be like Xiao Feng, praise the world and spread out of the border. He also said that his ancestors were from the northwest. One day, when he grew up, he would leave here and live outside the border.

Ju Nian also read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". She couldn't bear to point it out. Xiao Feng's heroic life was a hero, but in the end he tasted the warmth and coldness of the world. He died tragically but also desolate. What's more, as the saying goes, heroes are short of breath and long-lasting love for their children. In the story, isn't his appointment with Azhu outside the Great Wall a match?

After the second year of junior high school, the school requires students to develop comprehensively in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor, and each person must choose a sports activity to participate. Most boys choose football, basketball, volleyball, while girls are fond of aerobics and shuttlecock kicking. Wu Yu chose badminton. Compared with other ball categories, the physical strength requirements of this sport are not that outstanding. He has not had an attack in school. From teachers to classmates, no one knows that he has such a disease.

Ju Nian also chose badminton. She said she didn't like aerobics and shuttlecock playing. In fact, she was afraid that Wu Yu was too withdrawn and no one played with him to practice football.

After mastering the key points, Wu Yu's love for badminton was increasing day by day. He stole free time. The two of them practiced on the open space at the end of the steps of the Martyrs' Cemetery. Ju Nian was just to accompany the prince to study. Every day, his skills gradually became more proficient and ruthless. If he was serious, Wu Yu was no match for her at all. Wu Yu took the ball stuck there from the pomegranate tree again and again, wiped his sweat and said, "You are here to practice with me, you are here to discourage my enthusiasm."

After practicing football, I went home. Once, other boys from the neighborhood also ran to play near the Martyrs Cemetery. When they saw them laughing and talking, they shouted strangely: "Oh, head-to-head, shameless... Xie Juinian is playing with the little murderer..."

Wu Yu had no expression on his face. He was used to wearing this hat, just like a part of his body. Ju Nian was panicked and angry. She didn't understand why no one was willing to let Wu Yu go. What did he do wrong?

Looking at the backs of the children running away, Ju Nian secretly grabbed a small stone from the ground and threw it at them. Wu Yu stopped her. He was the son of a murderer, but he had never hurt anyone.

The rumors about Ju Nian playing with Wu Yu have reached my aunt's and uncle's ears again. Others say they have seen them go home from the road after school, and it is also a fact that Ju Nian goes home to cook later and later. The aunt scolded Ju Nian at the door of her house. She asked: "Are you mingling with that little murderer?"

Ju Nian, who had been bowing his head and "sentenced", replied timidly: "He has never killed anyone. He has never killed a chicken."

Ju Nian rarely talked back. Her aunt was angry and became excited. She cursed at the top of her voice: "Oh, I'm still protecting him. You're marrying him now, following him, why are you still here? As long as I taught you like this, I'll let you do anything."

The aunt's voice drew out all the neighbors who had just finished supper. Everyone looked at them curiously, and this topic also made the bystanders particularly interested. Ju Nian no longer spoke. She let her aunt use various words to curse, with tears in her eyes watching the sunset that day.

Two clouds cover the afterglow, like a smiling little bear. Wu Yu said that the morning glow does not go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles. Tomorrow is another good weather, what are you afraid of?

But Ju Nian also saw that the door of Wu Yu's house had also been opened and then closed tightly.

In the next few days, Wu Yu did not wait for Ju Nian on the road after school. The school was preparing to hold a badminton game. This was the first group activity that Wu Yu had actively signed up for, but he didn't practice the ball. Ju Nian blocked him on the road and asked him why. Wu Yu's explanation was that his beat was broken and he had no money to buy another one, so he gave up the game and would not play in the future.

Wu Yu's family's situation, Ju Nian knew in her heart that even if this was just an excuse, she had no way to refute it. After closing the door at night, Ju Nian found out the "life-saving money" she had saved from her mouth over the years, and ordered it three times, but it was still 7.6 cents. At that time, the cheapest badminton racket cost 12 yuan, but she didn't have enough money. All the money given by her father was firmly held in her aunt's hands. It was harder to pay a few cents than climbing the sky.

Ju Nian's father is in the procuratorate and he feels guilty of his biological daughter. He usually pays a lot of money to his aunt, including food, daily necessities, and pocket money. However, his aunt asked Ju Nian to eat the leftover food at home in the morning, so that the breakfast money was saved. Ju Nian struggled all night and tried every reason to ask for 5 yuan from his aunt, but no reason was sufficient.

The next morning, Ju Nian, who was more obedient than a rabbit, shook her hands and pulled out a five-dollar banknote from her aunt's waist bag that she used to put in her change when she was doing business, stuffed it between the socks and her calf, completing the biggest crime in her life. She was sweating heavily and had already made the worst plan in her heart. If her aunt found out, she would willingly go to jail.

But neither my aunt nor my uncle noticed it. One day later, Ju Nian secretly bought Wu Yu a new racket. Wu Yu held the new racket and asked blankly: "Where did you get the money?"

Ju Nian stretched her legs and lay flat under the pomegranate tree, saying expressionlessly: "I stole it from my aunt's bag."

Wu Yu was startled: "Are you wrong?"

Ju Nian followed his words: "You are a little murderer, I am a thief. Let's get together, don't dislike anyone."

Wu Yu couldn't speak. After a while, Ju Nian felt that he was also lying on the grass beside him. Like her, he looked straight at the sky.

Without a trace of wind, a bright red pomegranate flower on the tree fell from the branches and hit Ju Nian's cheek. With a gentle sound, is the same as the sound of the flower blooming?

Ju Nian sided her face and Wu Yu took it down for her.

"Wu Yu, how great if your pomegranate flowers bear fruit, I lie here and the ripe fruit hits me."

Wu Yu said: "It's so stupid. Pomegranate flowers are divided into male and female. There is only one tree here. My pomegranate flowers will not bear fruit."

The students in the third year of junior high school started to get nervous. The average grades of Ju Nian showed her strong momentum at critical moments. Just like during a long-distance running, she never rushed forward at the beginning, but in the end, everyone else was almost exhausted, and she could still move forward at a constant speed.

Because of her outstanding math scores and good English, she studied hard for a while, and in the last few mock exams, her rankings were higher and higher. Sometimes the teacher who corrected the composition was very kind, and her total score could even make it into the top five in the class. The teacher said that her performance was surprising, and she praised her as a typical example when attending a parent-teacher meeting. The aunt who was rarely here for the meeting was happy and said that her scolding worked.
