The return of Ma Siyi and others made the originally deserted courtyard lively again.
That night, all kinds of aromas filled the courtyard.
"Dahuazi, serve the black chicken soup to Grandma Ma."
"Wanghe took these lion heads to the Xingchi family."
This has been a tacit understanding among the families for more than ten years. Every time they make something delicious, they will make more of one dish and then share it with other families. In this way, one family only needs to make one dish to put together a table of sumptuous food.
Of course, it's easy to do it for one or two meals, but to persist for more than ten years, there is a prerequisite: these families must all be honest people. As long as there is one who likes to take advantage of small bargains, it will be impossible to form such a tacit understanding.
"Siyi, you must be exhausted from this trip. You look so thin that there is almost no flesh on your cheeks." Grandma Ma picked up some food for her granddaughter with a distressed look.
Ma Siyi took out her digital camera while eating and said, "Grandma, I'm not tired at all. We didn't treat ourselves badly during this trip. We experienced all kinds of delicious and fun things."
"It just cost a lot of money." Ma Siyi stuck out his tongue.
Grandma Ma rubbed her long curly hair and said, "Money is earned to be spent. Besides, it's your own money, so you should spend it with confidence. There's no need to feel bad about it."
"Grandma..." Ma Siyi was deeply moved. Her grandma lived frugally every day and was reluctant to spend a penny more, but she wanted to give her the best with all she had.
"Silly child, why are you crying? Eat quickly, or it will get cold soon. When you're done, tell me where you've been..."
"it is good."
After dinner, Ma Siyi took her digital camera and told her grandmother the stories behind each photo. Grandma Ma always looked at her with loving eyes.
"This..."
A photo of her and Qin Hao appeared on the screen of the digital camera, with the Badaling Great Wall as the background. The two's actions seemed somewhat intimate, and Ma Siyi subconsciously wanted to skip it.
But Grandma Ma stopped her and said, "Why don't you talk about this photo?"
"Grandma, it's just a photo, there's nothing much to say." Ma Siyi hugged her grandmother's arm and acted coquettishly.
Grandma Ma smiled and looked at the young and beautiful couple in the digital camera. She liked them more and more: "My granddaughter is so pretty."
"Yeah, Haozi is also very handsome."
Seeing Ma Siyi's shy face, Grandma Ma patted the back of her hand and said, "I have known Haozi's feelings for you since he was very young. However, it seems that Wanghe likes you very much too..."
"Oh grandma, what are you talking about? How could I possibly be with Xie Wanghe..."
"Oh, it turns out that our Siyi doesn't like Wanghe, but likes Haozi."
Ma Siyi then realized that she had been fooled: "Grandma..."
Grandma Ma patted her granddaughter on the back and said, "Siyi, you are already a grown-up girl. Grandma doesn't object to you dating, but grandma still hopes that you can focus on studying before the college entrance examination."
"With Haozi's grades, he will definitely be admitted to a prestigious university in the future. If you can't keep up with him, the gap between you will get bigger and bigger in the future."
Ma Siyi hesitated: "But, grandma, I don't want to leave you."
"Grandma won't die anytime soon, so just focus on getting into a good university. Grandma will be attending your wedding in the future."
"Oh grandma, you are talking nonsense again, bah bah bah..."
"Okay, grandma, don't say anything unlucky, bah bah bah..."
……
September 1st is the beginning of another school year, but for most students of No. 1 Middle School, it is just an ordinary day because they have already taken make-up classes here for two months.
The moment Qin Hao and Ma Siyi walked into the classroom, their classmates couldn't help but cast envious and jealous glances at them.
"Ma Siyi, did you travel this summer? I saw you updated your QQ space with photos of many places."
"I'm so envious. For the entire two-month vacation, you and Qin Hao were free to go anywhere, but we were locked up in the classroom, without seeing the sun."
Qin Hao teased, "Aren't you guys volunteering to take extra classes?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately besieged by the whole class.
"Is that a voluntary application that we signed? It's clearly a contract to sell our bodies!"
"If I don't sign, I'll have to be beaten by mixed doubles when I get home. Is that considered voluntary?"
Fortunately, at this time, the head teacher came in.
"What are you making such a fuss about? It's the first day of school. If you make any louder noises, I can hear you from downstairs."
A fat boy sitting next to Qin Hao was complaining: "What's the first day of school? It's obviously the 366th day of school."
Ma Siyi covered her mouth and chuckled, feeling quite fortunate that she could have such an unforgettable summer vacation.
"Ahem, be quiet. All students, please hand in your application forms for arts and science majors and report to your new classes next week. Also, Qin Hao and Ma Siyi, come to my place and fill out your application forms."
Qin Hao was slightly stunned. He had really forgotten about this.
The head teacher took out two application forms and said, "Qin Hao, I suggest that you choose science. Ma Siyi, you have an advantage in liberal arts..."
"Teacher, I choose liberal arts."
"Teacher, I choose science."
Almost in unison.
Suddenly, the classroom was filled with the sound of students booing.
The head teacher felt helpless and could only persuade the students earnestly.
"This subject selection is related to your college entrance examination application in the future. Why don't you go back and discuss it with your family?"
"No need, teacher. I choose science." Ma Siyi knew that Qin Hao would choose the same as him regardless of arts or science, so he simply filled in science on his application form.
When the head teacher saw that Qin Hao filled in the science subject, he didn't know what to say for a moment, and it took him a long time to utter a sentence.
"The knowledge points involved in the science subjects in the second year of high school are much more difficult than those in the first year of high school. Please help Ma Siyi more."
When Qin Hao and Ma Siyi returned to their seats, the classmates in the class started discussing again.
"Humph, Ma Siyi was pretending before, but now she's exposed. She even said she wasn't in a relationship with Qin Hao."
"Ah, is this the privilege of being the top student in the grade? No one cares if you have a romantic relationship in front of the class teacher. Is there any justice in the world?"
Although the class division into arts and sciences was imminent, the courses were not delayed at all. It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that the evening study teacher reluctantly let the students go home.
Street lamps shine one after another on the bluestone pavement. On a quiet summer night, the chirping of cicadas can be heard from the sycamore trees on the roadside from time to time.
Ma Siyi and Qin Hao were riding bicycles side by side. Neither of them rode fast, and some even intentionally slowed down just to spend more time with each other.
"The teacher said that science subjects in the second year of high school are more difficult, so you have to tutor me more."
"Yes, sir. I promise to be there whenever you call."
The two smiled at each other, and finally had to separate at an intersection. Qin Hao watched Ma Siyi enter the courtyard.
Ma Siyi returned home with a smile on her face. Just when she was about to go to her grandmother's room to see if she had fallen asleep, she saw her mother kneeling in front of her grandmother and crying.
From the mother's description, she had to send herself back because she found out that her second husband was peeping at her daughter taking a bath. So, she was worried that her daughter would be hurt, so she sent her back to the red-light district.
However, Ma Siyi did not completely believe what her mother said. If she was really forced to do so and her mother still loved her, why didn't she come back to see her once in all these years, or even call her?
Ma Siyi looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face and felt no joy of reunion at all. Especially when she heard her mother borrowing money from her grandmother on the grounds that her husband Lao Ge went bankrupt and her youngest son had no tuition, a surge of anger surged in her heart.
"I knew you wouldn't be so kind. Turns out you're here to cheat me again!" Ma Siyi rushed in.
Siyi's mother looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes: "Siyi, how can you say that to your mother..."
"Put away your hypocritical attitude. You have asked grandma for money several times over the years. You left me with grandma, not only did you not give her any child support, but you also had the nerve to ask her for money. Did you know that grandma has high blood pressure and is still taking anti-hypertensive drugs? She can't afford to eat or wear anything herself. How can you have the nerve to ask her for money!" Ma Siyi's emotions that had been accumulated for many years suddenly burst out.
Siyi's mother was speechless and could only shake her head and cry, pretending to be innocent.
Grandma Ma hugged her granddaughter and said, "Siyi, don't be like this. She is your mother after all..."
Siyi's mother calmed down immediately after hearing this: "That's right, there are no parents in this world who don't love their children. I really can't help it..."
Ma Siyi's eyes were red as she glared at her: "Don't be so hypocritical here. Don't think I didn't know anything at the time. I was ten years old at that time and I can remember things. You threw me to grandma because you and Lao Ge had a son and thought I was a burden."
After saying that, Ma Siyi slammed the door and left crying.
Xie Wanghe and Xia Fenghua were originally planning to ask Ma Siyi whether she had been divided into arts or science classes, when they saw her running out crying, and Grandma Ma chased her out of the house.
"Hurry, go find Siyi. Don't let anything get into trouble at this late hour."
Xie Wanghe and Xia Fenghua finally reacted and asked Zhou Haikuo and Shao Xingchi to start looking for Ma Siyi separately.
After searching for a long time, just when Xie Wanghe and Xia Fenghua were about to give up.
Suddenly, Xia Fenghua pointed to a stone arch bridge in the distance.
"Look, is that Siyi?"
Xie Wanghe looked in the direction of Xia Fenghua's finger, but saw a scene he never wanted to see in his life.
The night was as dark as a ripple, and the stone arch bridge was like a silent arc, spanning the dark river. Moonlight leaked through the gaps in the clouds, and a young couple hugged each other tightly on the bridge.
"Wow, it's so beautiful. It's a pity that I didn't bring a digital camera, otherwise it would have been great to take a picture of it."
Xie Wanghe felt like he was stabbed again before his wound healed.
"Why are you taking pictures? Go back and tell Grandma Ma that you are safe."
"Oh, that's right, Siyi will be fine as long as she is with Haozi."
Xie Wanghe said unhappily: "Why do you talk so much?"
"What I said is none of your business. Why do you care?"
The two of them bickered all the way back to the yard, and Grandma Ma finally breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that her granddaughter was fine.
Li Yan and Liang Haihong had been looking after Grandma Ma. Seeing that Siyi's mother was just a spectator throughout the whole process, they couldn't help but look at her with contempt.
"How could Siyi have such a mother? She is not at all anxious when her own daughter runs out so late, and she is in the mood to eat watermelon here."
"That's right, what kind of person is this? If this was our Dahuazi, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night unless I found the child."
Siyi's mother seemed to notice the two people pointing fingers at her, and said unhappily, "What are you complaining about? This is our family affair, outsiders should stay out of it."
"We have been neighbors with Grandma Ma for decades and have long been a family. To our small courtyard, you are an outsider."
Li Yan doesn't spoil her. What she hates most in her life is favoring boys over girls.
In the end, it was Grandma Ma who smoothed things over and the farce ended.
At the same time, Ma Siyi had vented her emotions and realized that she was in the arms of a man. She was like a frightened deer and wanted to break free, but was held tightly by Qin Hao.
"Why, you're abandoning me right after you've used me? Does this count as abandoning me?"
Facing Qin Hao's teasing, Ma Siyi blushed: "I always thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect you were also a gangster."
Qin Hao tightened his arms around Ma Siyi's slender waist and said with a wicked smile, "A gentleman can only suffer losses, so I'd better be a gangster."
"Hate it, let go, someone is watching us."
Seeing that Ma Siyi was about to cry, Qin Hao let go of her hand.
After a brief silence, Ma Siyi suddenly asked, "Do you think I should believe her?"
“When you ask this question, it means you already have the answer in your mind.”
Ma Siyi forced a bitter smile when she heard this: "Yes, in fact, I have known for a long time that she never loved me at all and always regarded me as a burden."
"But, all these years I still had fantasies about her. Maybe there was some unavoidable reason. Until today, I heard that she was borrowing money from grandma. This was the purpose of her visit. At that moment, I completely gave up."
Qin Hao said nothing, just patted her on the back gently and listened quietly.
Ma Siyi paused and continued, "Do you know? A long time ago, she was deeply involved in pyramid schemes and invested all my father's money in them. Now it's Lao Ge's turn. I suspect that it's not that Lao Ge went bankrupt, but that she used all of Lao Ge's money to engage in pyramid schemes. Lao Ge is also quite unlucky, don't you think?"
"In fact, pyramid schemes are no different from gambling. A gambler who has lost all his money will tell lies and do anything." Qin Hao said softly.
Ma Siyi nodded: "Yes, ever since I can remember, she has never told the truth. No, the only truth she told me was: I have no money, give me some money."
"She probably doesn't know you have a million, right?"
After being reminded by Qin Hao, Ma Siyi suddenly started to think: "My bank card is still in the drawer."
The two of them trotted all the way back to the courtyard.
After giving her grandmother a hug, Ma Siyi rushed straight to her room.
I happened to see my mother rummaging through her drawers.
Ma Siyi pushed her away in disgust: "Who told you to touch my things?"
"What's wrong with you, kid? I'm your mother. Let me see what's wrong with your study environment."
Ma Siyi did not continue to argue with her, but opened the drawer, and found that the bank card was really missing.
"Where's my bank card?"
Faced with her daughter's questioning, a trace of panic flashed across Siyi's mother's face.
"What bank card? How would I know?"
