When I first met Zhao Peng, Hu Li was eating apricots.

She followed her father to play at the neighbor's house and found a dark little boy dragging a taller iron shovel and slitting the soil in the ground.

It was very hot, but the boy seemed to be unable to feel it.

Hu Li observed for several minutes, ran to the boy from the shade of the tree, and shared the apricot in her hand with the boy.

The boy took it and smiled silly.

They were about four or five years old at this time.

After returning, Hu Li heard from her parents that the boy was named Zhao Peng, who was the eldest son of Grandpa Zhao's family.

He is very smart. He can write hundreds of words before he goes to school, and he can figure out what a hundred times a hundred equals.

He is also very hardworking and can help his parents with work.

Hu Li found it very interesting, so she asked Zhao Peng to play every day.

Gradually, I became familiar with it.

Sometimes when I get tired of playing, Hu Li will take a nap directly at Zhao Peng's house.

Every time she wakes up, something will be covered with her body.

Sometimes it is a thin blanket, sometimes it is a pillowcase, and sometimes it is a piece of clothing from Zhao Peng.

So sometimes Hu Li slept at home. When she woke up, she looked cold and didn't think of her family. Instead, she thought of Zhao Peng first.

.

On the day of the first grade report, Hu Li carried her father's new schoolbag, wore new clothes, and signed up with her father to register at school.

She saw Zhao Peng also signed up in the crowd with a yellow military schoolbag on his back.

His clothes were a little small, and his legs were half short.

What’s more serious is the shoes, the thumb is exposed directly outside, and the black nails look ugly.

The students were unwilling to stand with Zhao Peng.

So the crowd slowly split.

Everyone followed their parents, and the boy stood alone, covering his clothes pockets with his hands.

Later, Hu Li found out that there was an registration fee.

Hu Li broke away from her father's hand, stepped forward and held Zhao Peng's hand, and took her to her father to stand together.

At this time, Zhao Peng was still very short, and she was like holding her own younger brother.

The classmates stared at her curiously, not understanding how a beautiful little girl like her could stand with that little beggar-like boy.

Still holding his hand.

nausea!

Hu Li didn't think there was any problem.

This is not the first time she has seen Zhao Peng like this.

In her eyes, Zhao Peng seemed to be like this, and she had long been used to it.

She could even ignore Zhao Peng's appearance and see the passion and simplicity deep in his heart.

She likes him very much.

Because it's different from other children.

.

Fortunately, Hu Li and Zhao Peng are in the same class, and they are actually deskmates.

Hu Li didn't think it was a coincidence at this time, she subconsciously thought that this was a necessity.

She and Zhao Peng should have sat together.

They have such a good relationship and are their best friends. Shouldn’t they sit together?

Even if she found that her classmates seemed to have begun to neglect her because of this, she didn't care.

Anyway, the relationship is not good, so who wants to play with them?

Shortly after school started, Hu Li had the concept of money for the first time.

When I was at home, I couldn’t use any money because everything was ready-made.

However, when studying in school, there are many things that require money to buy.

From pencils, erasers, to abacus, brushes, inks, and various painting crayons.

Zhao Peng has nothing.

Not only can Zhao Peng not only cannot afford to buy brushes and ink, but he can't even afford erasers and pencils, nor can he afford to buy notebooks.

Therefore, Zhao Peng's pencil is always taken out of the garbage and inserted into the bamboo tube.

And his rubbers are also scraps thrown away by others.

His notebook is a notebook that is cut into square pieces by kraft paper and nailed with thread.

And his dictionary is a half dictionary that I picked up from where I don’t know where to do it.

Whenever the teacher asked to start looking up the dictionary, other students were searching according to the radical or pinyin method. Zhao Peng knew all the characters, so he flipped them quickly.

It is often more effective than normal methods.

Of course, if you meet a word you really have never seen before, and you can't follow the method of recognizing words or not, and recognizing half a word first, then Zhao Peng will be embarrassed.

Fortunately, there are not many times like this.

Hu Li knew that Zhao Peng had no money to buy things, so she learned to share.

Her ink, ink and crayons are all shared with Zhao Peng.

When buying a brush, you will also buy one for Zhao Peng.

She had something delicious and would secretly swallow her saliva and leave a small portion for Zhao Peng.

As time goes by, the students will make jokes.

He said she was Zhao Peng's young wife.

Zhao Peng always blushed and wanted to fight with others in anger, but she felt that it didn't matter.

The little wife is not bad either.

When the young wives on TV got married, they were wearing new red clothes and red on their heads, which looked so beautiful.

She imagined the man who carried his wife as Zhao Peng, and felt very nervous.

Zhao Peng is so thin, not as tall as himself or as heavy as himself, can he be able to carry it?

.

If life is just like the first meeting.

As he grew older, Hu Li discovered that Zhao Peng had changed.

They are still the same tablemate, but there seems to be a layer of yarn between them.

Hu Li gradually understood what the concept of a wife was.

A wife married a man and lived with him all her life. From then on, her parents became outsiders, and that man was his only relative.

Hu Li projected this identity on Zhao Peng and found that it seemed that there was no difference now.

They are now like a young couple, except for not living together.

However, Zhao Peng still changed.

His smile became less and less, and his personality became more introverted.

He would inexplicably not speak and make trouble.

Sometimes it makes Hu Li very angry and even sad.

One day in the fifth grade, because Zhao Peng was reluctant to pay the registration fee for the junior high school entrance examination, he found countless excuses and delayed for many days.

The head teacher was completely angry.

The middle-aged woman grabbed Zhao Peng's ear and threw it out of the classroom.

I stood there all morning.

When Zhao Peng returned to the classroom in the afternoon, his eyes became lifeless.

It seems that there is no vitality.

Hu Li secretly handed over the money she saved from buying snacks for her to the teacher.

I paid the fee for Zhao Peng.

Then she told Zhao Peng not to continue to be unhappy. She was a little scared when she looked like this.
