The sky was getting brighter and the dark clouds had dispersed. Siren helped his father push the cart to the garbage station. He endured the stench and walked into the employee rest room of the garbage station. He took out the lunch box he received from Sister Qing yesterday from the refrigerator and helped his father heat it. He also babbled: "Dad, I'm only 18 years old. I'm in a hurry." What. Look, how embarrassing it is for my senior sister."
Father Ye didn't speak, he just held the edge of the table with difficulty, sat down, took off his already soaked socks, and hung them aside to dry. Wearing flip-flops, Ge You lay slumped on the shabby sofa he had picked up, with an expression on his face. Very comfortable and relaxed.
He pointed to Siren at the red bag hanging on one of his clothes hangers and said, "There are Sunkist oranges there."
Si Ting: "No, thank you!"
"I want you to break it for me, not for you to eat."
Siren belatedly took an orange and broke it for him to eat, but his fingers were very clean and there were no nails at all, so it was very difficult to break them.
Father Ye shook his head in disappointment, took back the orange, gently cut off the top with a slightly rusty utility knife, and made a few cuts around the orange before returning it to Siren, so that Siren could handle it more smoothly.
The orange that Siren broke was full of pits, and he broke it in half into the middle and gave it to Dad Ye.
"You are so stupid, how can any girl like you?" Father Ye muttered.
"I'm stupid. How many people imagine that your son and I can do so well in studies and exams, and I will become someone else's child in the eyes of my classmates and parents. Moreover, there are so many people who like me, there are always people queuing up." Siren said.
"Some people like you just because you are my son, not because of your merits. Do you understand? Why don't you try telling them that your father has gone bankrupt and is now just a garbage collector? Let's see if anyone can help you." I like you!" Dad Ye shouted, and his mood eased after taking a bite of the sweet orange.
"By the way... who bought the oranges?" Siren asked, because he never took the initiative to buy fruit.
"Your senior sister."
Unexpectedly, Xuerou not only helped Dad Ye push the garbage truck yesterday, but also handed over the oranges she originally bought to Dad Ye, and even broke them for Dad to eat with her own hands.
Not only oranges, but also apples, grapes, kiwis, cherries...
"If I hadn't gone bankrupt, I would have chased this little bitch by myself. Would it be your turn?"
Father Ye patted Siren on the shoulder and said, "Son, after passing this village, there is no such shop."
"But..." Siren said, helping him pick up his clothes so that Dad Ye could inject insulin into his stomach.
That needle pierced Father Ye's body and also pierced Siren's heart.
"I don't know how many days I have left to help you. Cherish it yourself!"
"but I……"
Father Ye sighed, held the shackles around Siren's neck, and said with firm eyes: "It's been more than ten years, please don't blame yourself for Xiaoxing's things... Next year, this thing will be taken from your The neck is taken off. You should have your own way to go. If Xiaoxing knew that you were still not living well, she would be very sad."
"Dad...I..."
"I've said it clearly, dad understands, I've been here too..."
After saying goodbye to Father Ye, Siren returned to Uncle Ye's boat and waited for the sun tomorrow.
He lay in the dark, smelly cabin, full of the smell of gasoline, looking up at the low ceiling.
The ship's hull was bouncing up and down with the waves, and the crew members all fell asleep. He could not sleep for a long time.
He had been so afraid of this dark and hot cabin, but now, he felt that he was not so afraid anymore.
He thoughtfully sent a message to Xuerou: "Are you asleep?"
However, there is still a big red exclamation mark after the message.
He snorted with a smile on his face and thought to himself: She is indeed a female gorilla. If she had some understanding of human nature, she wouldn't have unblocked me until now, right?
but……
Why do I want her to unblock me so much?
Late at night, after Xuerou left, Sister Qing was so depressed that she ran out of cigarettes and couldn't drink so much wine at once, so she just stood around at the reception desk boredly humming songs from the bar singer.
At this moment, a familiar figure gradually walked out of the distance.
"Oh, why are you so nervous today? There are so many people here?" Sister Qing said, looking at the man coming towards her.
The man didn't say much, he just walked straight to the water bar and sat down. Manager Zhang, who was on duty at the water bar, was so shocked when he saw this.
"That's not the former boss..."
"Oh, so that's how you call me?"
Manager Zhang put away his expression and said firmly: "What do you want, boss?"
"I'll do it!" Sister Qing followed closely and gave him a glass of whiskey with ice in an easy manner.
Manager Zhang was completely confused, "What day is it today? Why are there so many people here? First the eldest lady went on a blind date, and then the former boss came again."
Schubert drank the whole glass of wine in one breath, chewing ice in his mouth, and tapped the table with his fingers. Sister Qing brought him a set of exclusive flying marks. He walked up to the flying bid and put in the coin. Without thinking, he put in a bid with his left hand and hit the 13-point inner red circle.
"Can't you just come here to have a drink and play a few games of flying target?" Sister Qing said calmly.
"Is Xuerou dating?" Schubert said calmly, picked up another bid with his right hand, and hit the inner green circle of the 19th division.
"Haha!" Sister Qing taunted him with a sharp voice, and said sarcastically, "Didn't Xuerou always say: I like daddy the most, my favorite person in the world is daddy. What's wrong, you I want to know, why don’t you just ask her directly, why don’t you just leave her here and fuck me?”
Schubert frowned as he listened. The mark in his left hand hit the border of 12 and 5 and bounced out.
"Still breaking the defense?" Sister Qing said, picking up a mark with her right hand and hitting the red heart easily.
Then he said: "She has been dating other boys. Chen Dongsheng, Qiu Wensheng, you are not unaware of this."
"If it's just the two of them, do I still need to come to you?" Schubert said, placing the marker with his left hand and knocking off Sister Qing's red heart marker.
"Congratulations, you found the right person." Sister Qing said, and deliberately knocked down the mark that Schubert inserted in the 13th division.
"Not only do they know. Why do they come here to propose marriage?"
"Proposing a marriage?" Schubert was shocked when the bid actually fell within 1 minute of the outer circle, and he said coldly: "Who is it?"
"He's a very interesting boy, you know him." Sister Qing said, and when she saw Schubert pursed his lips, she asked someone to bring him another glass of whiskey.
Schubert took another sip, chewed a few pieces of ice in his mouth, and smiled a few times: "If it's true, then... it's quite interesting. What do you say?"
"I'll just express my opinion casually. However, in what era are we now, can we as parents care about it? Nowadays, we all believe in free love. The way we used to do it no longer works."
"No!" Schubert said coldly: "Xue Rou is destined to go to Russia with me to meet the master and practice together." Schubert said, placing a blind mark, and it landed on the sky My sister is standing next to the target hand.
Sister Qing was stunned for a moment, then calmly picked out his target, and said with a fake sweet smile: "It depends on your ability. After all, no one can predict the results of free love. Right?" ?"
Sister Qing and Schubert looked at each other for a long time.
Then, both of them laughed inexplicably.
At nine o'clock the next morning, the haze had completely dissipated, the scenery was bright, and everything seemed to be back to life. During class, Lin Xuerou, somewhat surprisingly, answered the questions Zhou Guodong asked her to do on the blackboard.
Zhou Zixin was still a little surprised by the fact that her neighbor, who usually didn't have a bright mind, had been acting out of normal recently.
"Don't you have a high fever? Isn't it like your usual level?" Zhou Zixin touched her forehead. It was fine. The temperature was normal.
"No, it's just that I couldn't sleep at night, so I spent some time previewing, and then I got to school early and ran three thousand miles." Xuerou said.
Zhou Zixin always felt that something was strange, but was speechless.
"Even Lin Xuerou can solve the questions, there is no reason why you can't solve them! Prepare for a surprise test!" Zhou Guodong said, taking out a large stack of test papers from the cabinet.
"Oh! Shift!!" The whole class cried out unlucky.
Just at the critical moment, a broadcast came from the school. The speaker was the principal, Zhu Jianhua, who rarely spoke and kept a low profile: "Urgent notice, urgent notice. All the band members, including the consultants, are asked to gather in the music room immediately; repeat! Please ask the silver band members to gather in the music room immediately. Please note that this is an emergency notice. All teachers and students of the school are not allowed to make any obstruction without the permission of the school board of directors, and the consequences will be at your own risk."
Seeing that the principal's tone was serious, Zhou Guodong did not dare to neglect and said: "I'll count you lucky today. You will take the exam tomorrow and study on your own!"
After that, the whole class cheered happily again.
So Zhou Guodong took Zhou Zixin and Lin Xuerou and left the classroom. As soon as he arrived outside, he met Qiu Wensheng.
"Where's Huo Jianting!" Zhou Guodong shouted.
"He... said that he had quit the team and would not come again." Qiu Wensheng said.
"Why retreat? Have I approved it?" Zhou Guodong said and walked straight into Qiu Wensheng's classroom.
"Huo Jianting, you're still dumbfounded! Let's go!" Zhou Guodong said.
"But...teacher, I..." Huo Jianting said
"Lin Xuerou!" As soon as Zhou Guodong shouted, Xuerou grabbed Jian Ting and took him out of his seat.
"Hey! Teacher Zhou, you are not following the rules!" Director Wei (the newly appointed dean of disciplines who replaced Zhou Guodong) scolded Wei Zhongxian who was in class.
Zhou Guodong, a private tycoon, was not afraid, so he stood up in front of him and wanted to steal someone from him.
"You dare to disobey the principal's orders. Do you not want to be a disciplinarian?"
"you……"
Director Wei pointed at him, hesitated to speak, sighed unhappily, and allowed them to take Huo Jianting away.
"Teacher, what's the matter with the principal summoning us so urgently?" Lin Xuerou asked.
"You guess."
I saw Zhou Guodong smiling from ear to ear, as if something good was coming!
