Independence Day Study Plan

Looking at the door frame, he was looking at him with interest.

"No." Xie Cheng replied habitually.

Mo Yaoyao glanced at Xuan Mai and smiled: "It's been a long time since you asked me a question. Now that you're a high school student, do you have any questions you want to ask me?"

"No." Xie Cheng glanced at Xuan Mai.

Xuanmai was seriously grading the color, but he didn't know whether he didn't care or pretended not to hear.

Mo Yaoyao looked at him amusedly, Xie Cheng relaxed after a moment of embarrassment, thought for a while, and asked: "Mo Yaoyao, what did Zhou Yu ask you to do last time?"

"Oh no," he reacted after finishing speaking, "I just got the grade yesterday."

"Here." Mo Yaoyao raised his chin at Xuan Mai.

Xie Cheng was taken aback for a moment.

Mo Yaoyao said: "He won the tuition fee for Maizi to learn painting in the future."

When Xuan Mai heard his name, he held the palette and looked up: "Huh?"

"Your brother Zhou," Mo Yaoyao bent down and squeezed her chin, "he made a bet with me, and if he won, I would promise him one thing. He came to me last night and told me that his request was to Your tuition fee will be waived."

Xuan Mai looked at Xie Cheng and said, "But brother won't agree."

"You don't care if he agrees or not, your brother is a stubborn buffalo," Mo Yaoyao laughed, "If he wants to pay tuition, let him pay Zhou Xiaoyu."

Xie Cheng burst out laughing when he heard Mo Yaoyao's description, and Xuan Mai said, "My brother also said that my second brother is a stubborn buffalo! And Zhou Shuoyu!"

Mo Yaoyao: "Isn't it true that the family does not enter the house? I think you will be stubborn in the future."

Xuan Mai: "I won't."

Xie Cheng felt relieved suddenly, and said, "Then thank you, Mo Yaoyao."

"You're welcome." Mo Yaoyao said, "Because I really like my sister, I would be happy to teach her how to draw, so I gave Zhou Xiaoyu an extra gift."

She looked at Xie Cheng with a smile, and Xie Cheng asked, "What?"

"I won't tell you." Mo Yaoyao still smiled.

Xie Cheng felt that today's events were all confusing, seeing how mysterious Mo Yaoyao was, he didn't say anything more.

Seeing that he was not in the mood to speak, Mo Yaoyao turned to do things.

Her figures and paintings are unique, and there are many students nearby. After summer, many people form a team to ask her to draw T-shirts, such as couple outfits and sister outfits, which can be worn on weekends.

It's like holding some common little secret.

When it was almost time to go home, Xuan Mai went to the back of the studio to wash his hands, Xie Cheng asked: "Mo Yaoyao, do you know any boss who will let me do a summer job?"

Mo Yaoyao turned her head: "Summer job? Are you short of money?"

Xie Cheng shook his head and nodded again.

Mo Yaoyao thought for a while: "Serve the plate?"

"No problem." Xie Cheng nodded again.

"Forget it, forget it, I'm joking with you, you don't feel tired serving dishes, I think you are tired, you have grown a pair of scholar's hands." Mo Yaoyao waved his hands and smiled, "The next door, the aunt at the book rental stand When I said I was going out, it seemed that her daughter would pick her up for a trip or something, and it would take a month and a half, why don't you wait for me to talk to her? It's just that the salary may not be very high."

"Thank you, Mo Yaoyao!" Xie Chengteng stood up suddenly.

Seeing him standing up straight, Mo Yaoyao chuckled and narrowed his eyes: "I'm so excited, I thought you were going to bow to me."

Xie Cheng also smiled, and really bent down and bowed to her.

Xuan Mai just came out after drying his hands, and didn't ask what Xie Cheng was doing when he saw this, he ran over and bowed to Mo Yaoyao.

"Okay, okay," Mo Yaoyao laughed uncontrollably, "There are people coming and going outside, and those who don't know think I'm bullying children."

Coming out of Mo Yaoyao's shop, Xie Cheng told Xuan Mai to go home first, and went to the billiard room by himself.

It was not a good time for business, so he went to the basement and saw Aunt Lan sitting behind the counter reading a novel.

Xie Cheng walked over, just stood still, Aunt Lan didn't lift her head: "You brat, go and sweep the floor."

"Okay." Xie Cheng responded.

Aunt Lan suddenly raised her head: "Oh, Xiaocheng." She patted herself on the forehead: "I'm so fascinated by the novel, I didn't hear the sound of footsteps."

Xie Cheng smiled: "Didn't Zhou Tao leave?"

"Ah yes." Aunt Lan smiled, "I didn't realize it just now."

"When will he come back, Aunt Lan?" Xie Cheng asked.

Aunt Lan: "School must start."

Xie Cheng turned around: "I'm going to sweep the floor."

Aunt Lan grabbed him and said, "Don't, don't, what are you sweeping? I'm afraid that Yu'er just wants to play when he has nothing to do."

Xie Cheng thought for a while: "Then I'll go home first, Aunt Lan."

As he said he was going to leave, Aunt Lan suddenly called out, "Xiao Cheng, wait a minute."

"Yu'er came over when he was leaving at noon, and told me he had something for you on the bed, so you should remember to get it." Aunt Lan picked up a bunch of keys on the counter, "Go and get the door Bring it to Auntie, and I will go to your house to get the key later."

Xie Cheng was stunned for a moment, suddenly a little anxious, but he still said: "What is it, Aunt Lan? I can get it when you go back at night."

"You go and get it, it's okay." Aunt Lan said with a smile, "Yu'er babbled several times when he left, and told me to remember to tell you that it was on his bedside, which made me anxious. Anyway, you It’s here too, drop by and get it, or I’ll have to think about it all day.”

Xie Cheng took the key and said, "Okay."

☆, distance

Xie Cheng walked out of the billiard room, walking faster and faster, almost catching up with the trotting speed of others, and did not slow down until the entrance of the alley.

When Zhou talked at the door of his house, he stopped and looked at his own house first. The courtyard door was half open, but there was no sound.

He obviously had the key in his hand, but at this moment he still felt like a thief.

Looking around, Xie Cheng unlocked it.

The first thing I saw was the Chinese rose tree. Because of the wind, the ground was full of petals.Xie Cheng closed the courtyard door and went upstairs.

Zhou said that there was a key in the door, and he turned the door.

The room is familiar, but because he came alone, Xie Cheng always felt that he didn't know this place well, and even the air became strange.

After standing at the door for two seconds, he let go.

The door bounced back slowly, and the click of the lock as it snapped shut made him jump.

After a pause, he walked to the bed and saw several "Chinese National Geographic" on the bedside table.

This is Zhou Yu's favorite magazine, which he subscribes to every month.

Xie Cheng sat by the bed, casually flipped through the top one, and saw the little sticky notes that Zhou Taoyu had pasted on the edge of some inner pages.

The sticky notes are all numbers, which are the distance from Luohua to the place you want to go.

Because they often read magazines together, Xie Cheng already knew about his habit.

This distance is actually not very accurate. There is a map of China on the wall of Zhou Yu.

In fact, Zhou Shuyu often went to black Internet cafes, and Xie Cheng didn't know why he didn't check it online.

Like some kind of paranoia.

Sitting for a while, looking at the flamboyant handwriting on the sticky note, Xie Cheng involuntarily reached out and touched it.

After two seconds, he closed the page and quickly slammed the magazine back on the bedside table.

Suddenly, I felt that the action just now was weird.

Slowly remembering what to do, Xie Cheng looked at the bed, but there was nothing, so he reached under the pillow and touched a tape.

Is it the one you sent me?

The movement of his hands stopped for a while, Xie Cheng couldn't figure out what Zhou Taoyu meant, that he wanted to return the tape to him?Or did he just put the tape under his pillow?

Before taking out the things, Xie Cheng also stretched out his other hand, and felt for a long time to no avail. There was really only one tape on the bed.

Out of some unknown state of mind, Xie Cheng deliberately prolonged his anxiety for a few seconds, then he took out the tape and found that it was not the one he gave.

The cover of the tape reads "Golden Songs in English".

A smiley face is drawn in the lower right corner.

After watching the tape for a while, Xie Cheng suddenly felt extremely tired, so he jumped down and landed on Zhou Daoyu's bed.

His eyes were open, the right side of his face was pressed against the pillow, and his eyelashes swept across the pillow cover when he blinked.

After a while, Xie Cheng rubbed his eyes, turned his head and buried his whole face in the pillow.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always felt that there was Zhou Shuoyu's smell on the pillow, like the smell of soap, but it was inexplicably sweet.

The air suddenly became familiar, not only familiar, but also so familiar that it made his nose ache.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, he would leave only after Zhou Yu talked about it, but he actually... missed him like this.

On the way to Xirong.

Zhou Shuoyu picked up an old repeater.

Zhou Quan kept talking about something, Zhou Yu kept nodding, and finally Zhou Quan said: "Then if you meet Auntie, you have to say hello."

Seeing from the corner of his eye that Zhou Shuoyu was still nodding, Zhou Quan snapped the rearview mirror in surprise, turned his head again, and saw Zhou Shuoyu with earphones in his ears, his eyes fell on his knees, where there was a small Lyric book.

Nodding, it's basically shaking his head to the sound of the music.

Zhou said without turning his head: "Why are you looking at me? Drive hard."

Zhou Quan frowned, as if he wanted to teach him a lesson, but in the end he held back, and just told: "Grandpa's heart is not very good, you go and listen to him carefully, don't be angry with him."

"Why would I be angry with him?" Zhou Daoyu said, "If I want to be angry, I will be angry with you and my mother."

Zhou Quan: "Didn't you wear headphones and can't hear me?"

"I can hear it when I want to hear it, and I can't hear it when I don't want to hear it." Zhou said without changing his face, and continued humming to the beat after speaking.

Zhou Quan really had no choice but to find something to say: "Your repeater is so old, why didn't Zhao Xinlan buy a new one?"

"Because this is for playing, only listening to English songs, not English tapes." Zhou Shuoyu replied blankly.

Zhou Quan forced a smile: "My son likes to listen to music. I heard a young man in our company say something a few days ago. Walkmans are very convenient. Dad, go buy one for you?"

"No." Zhou Jiangyu replied simply.

He refused to stick to his soft words, and Zhou Quan couldn't find anything to say to make fun of him, so the father and son remained silent all the way.

Zhou Shuoyu was leaning on the back of the chair with "MyHeartWillGoOn" playing in his earphones. He turned his head and looked at the street trees that kept flashing by outside the window, and the lines of his side face seemed to be getting harder.

When you don't talk or laugh, you bring a bit of bitterness.

It was already evening when we reached the outskirts of Xirong.

When the car drove into the yard, Zhou Shuoyu put the repeater in his school bag and put it away. The headlights of the car shone toward the front of the porch, and an old man stood at the door with his hands behind his back.

Zhou Daoyu got out of the car, walked up to him and called out, "Grandpa."

The old man's name is Zhou Guyan, he is a retired doctor, even though his hair is gray, he can vaguely see the tall and heroic in his youth.His face was always expressionless, and he looked terribly serious.

Zhou Daoyu could tell that Zhou Quan was particularly afraid of him.

But it's strange, no matter how strict Zhou Guyan is or how weird his temper is, Zhou Jiangyu doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.

In fact, he is very used to his silence, although getting along with him is boring, but people are relaxed.

Listening to Zhou talking about Yu calling himself, Zhou Gu'an's expression did not loosen, he still replied with a face that can teach people anytime and anywhere: "Come on."

The tone is obviously mild.

Zhou Quan parked his car and came over, saying hello, "Dad."

Zhou Guyan's eyes moved over, but he nodded slightly and then looked away.

Zhou Quan was a little embarrassed and said, "Dad, have you eaten yet? Let's eat something casually on the way."

Zhou Guyan nodded again, turned around and went into the room.

Zhou Shuoyu followed in: "Grandpa, I didn't eat enough just now, I want to eat supper."

Zhou Quan: "..."

Aunt Sun, who was invited to take care of the family, hurried forward and said, "Come quickly, come and have dinner. Uncle Zhou has been waiting for a long time, and he called your aunt. Aunt Sun cooked a lot of your favorite dishes. Less than You see if it suits your appetite, if not, I will change it tomorrow. The young man is growing up, he can eat well, look at how tall he is, he is more than a head taller than my aunt..."

Zhou Guyan coughed, Aunt Sun closed her mouth, and blinked at Zhou Taoyu with a smile on her lips.

Zhou Yu also grinned at her, ran and jumped to the table: "Eat, eat!"

The meal was very quiet, Zhou Gu'an's silence was very oppressive, and Zhou Quan's words and actions were restrained.

Zhou Shuoyu is quite at ease, he should eat and drink when no one talks.

Finally, when Zhou Gu placed the chopsticks, Zhou Quan seemed relieved, and put down the bowl as well: "Son, please accompany Grandpa well, and Dad will take you to Sanya in a few days."

Zhou Shuoyu responded casually, "I won't go."

Zhou Quan was a little surprised: "Isn't it all agreed? Dad's annual leave has been paid, and your aunt said that you have always wanted to go to the beach."

"I won't go." Zhou Shuoyu looked at him, "I don't want to go, so I will accompany grandpa."

Zhou Quan frowned, and wanted to say something, Zhou Guyan said: "If you don't go, you won't go, you still have to tie him up?"

"No..." Zhou Quan was helpless, "Then Dad, I'm leaving first, I have something to call."

Zhou Guyan gave a faint "hmm", and when they left, he turned to Zhou Yu: "It's really annoying."

Zhou Daoyu was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

"Go and see what's missing in your house," Zhou Guyan said, "Talk to Aunt Sun if it's missing."

Zhou Daoyu responded, put down the bowl, grabbed his schoolbag and went upstairs.

Luohua Town at this time.

After dinner, Xie Cheng was washing the dishes. Just after turning off the tap, Aunt Lan called out: "Xiao Cheng."

Xie Cheng hurriedly wiped his hands and went out: "Aunt Lan is back, I'll get you the key."

He turned around as he spoke, and just after taking a step, Aunt Lan's PHS rang behind him, he paused, and went into the main room first.

When I came out, I heard Aunt Lan say: "After eating, why are you so worried? Why don't you care about me so much at home? Xiaocheng? Xiaocheng is next to me, and I'm at his house."

Xie Cheng walked over and handed the key to Aunt Lan.

Aunt Lan took the key with one hand, handed the PHS to him, and said with a smile, "Fish."

Xie Cheng answered the phone.

Xuan Fangling also came out next to her, the two women chatted, Xie Cheng walked a few steps towards the grape rack, and put the PHS to his ear.

He hadn't spoken yet, but the other end seemed to know that he was ready. Almost at the same moment when the phone touched his ear, Zhou Shuoyu called out, "Thank you."

Xie Cheng paused for a while before answering: "Have you arrived at Grandpa's house?"

"Yeah, I just went back to my room after dinner." Zhou Jiangyu said, "Have you got the tape for you?"

Xie Cheng: "I got it."

Zhou Yu said: "Remember to listen to it later, I think it sounds good."

"Listen." Xie Cheng responded.

Obviously they could keep talking when they were together, but they had nothing to say across the phone. Finally, Xie Cheng asked, "When will you be back?"

"Let's start school." Zhou Shuoyu replied, "Wait obediently, the uncle will bring you delicious food when he comes back."

Xie Cheng: "Come on, just bring yourself back, don't disappear when the wind blows halfway."

Zhou Shuoyu snorted and said, "I'm a kite, so I can run away as soon as I blow it?"

Xie Cheng: "Then don't just swim around and go to the Arctic Ocean."

"I'll think about it," Zhou said in Dalala, "but it's too cold over there. Tropical seas are fine. Tropical sunshine is good. It suits me. It's good to get a little tan, so I can look manly. I think I It’s too white, but not as white as you, I’d better get a little tan, don’t get tan, you’ll definitely not be as handsome as me if you’re tan.”

"I can win you, how sorry are you?" Xie Cheng said, "Your masculinity can only be shown by being black?"

Zhou said, "I'll beat you up!"

"Come and beat me up." Xie Cheng said.

After finishing this sentence, the two sides fell silent together, and the sound of electric currents rustled. After a while, Zhou Yu said viciously: "Wait for me!"

Xie Cheng couldn't help smiling, and after talking for a long time, he turned his head to look at Aunt Lan at the gate of the courtyard: "Do you want to give your aunt the phone?"

Zhou Shuoyu sighed, Xie Cheng asked: "What?"

"Give it," said the other end.

Xie Cheng didn't ask any further questions. He walked over and handed the PHS back to Aunt Lan. Aunt Lan told Zhou to say a few words and hung up the phone.

"Then I'll go back." Aunt Lan said with a smile.

Xie Cheng: "Aunt Lan, walk slowly."

He stood there, watching Xuan Fangling bring Aunt Lan to the door. The two adults seemed to have not finished talking, and they were chatting quietly outside the courtyard door.

Xuan He came out of the shower, rubbed his hair and asked, "Aunt Lan?"

"Yeah." Xie Chengying, "Brother, I'll go to your room and get the repeater."

Xuan He's repeater was broken, and he took his past for use some time ago.

Xuan Mai was playing with a shovel next to her. When Xie Cheng spoke, she just shook her body. Xuan He hurriedly answered "Yes" and walked over: "Maizi, my little ancestor! How many times have I told you?" Don't step on it like this, wait until the wooden handle hits your face directly! Older people don't have long memory, don't call brother when it hurts."

Xuan Mai played tricks on Xuan He, Xie Cheng smiled and went upstairs to Xuan He's room.

As soon as the door opened, Xie Cheng saw that the table was still full of books, piled high.

The repeater was placed on the corner of the table. He walked to the table and reached for it. He looked down and saw an upside-down book, which should have been read by Xuan He before he could collect it in time.

Seeing the cover, Xie Cheng was stunned for a moment. At the same time, Xuan He appeared at the door and shouted anxiously: "Xiao Cheng!"

Xie Cheng turned his head, and the two brothers looked at each other.

Xuan He quickly lowered his eyes, came over to put away the book, and put it in the middle of a stack of materials: "I slept a little late last night, and I forgot to pack my things. I forgot to remind you just now, lest I might hit you."

"Brother, you..." Xie Cheng said hesitantly.

Xuan He shook his head: "Don't ask."

☆, summer vacation

The word "gay" on the spine of the book was firmly imprinted in Xie Cheng's mind, and he saw it when he saw it. He didn't think it was a big deal.

But Xuanhe's attitude suddenly made him discover a fact——

Even though he could directly say "Geng Chuan likes you" last time, Xuan He seemed to admit it calmly, but this kind of relationship between boys seems to have been kept secret.

It's the same even if the person facing him is Xuanhe.

Realizing this, Xie Cheng was a little dazed.

Xuan He didn't know that he was thinking of going to other places at all, but thought that his attitude frightened him, so he explained gently: "Brother is not trying to kill you, but this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to touch this kind of thing .”

Xie Cheng nodded numbly.

In the end, he was about to leave with the repeater, but he remembered something, and turned to Xuan He and said, "Brother, I want to do a summer job during my vacation."

Xuan He smiled: "I didn't rely on you to support the family, so why don't you take a break if you don't have homework?"

"Two months of vacation is very long." Xie Cheng said, "Mo Yaoyao said that the aunt who rented books in Taoshi is going out. It would be great if I could go there, and I can still read books."

Xuan He asked: "Want to read romance novels or martial arts novels?"

Xie Cheng heard that he wanted to ease the atmosphere, and said, "Look at the physics and chemistry textbooks."

Xuan He burst out laughing: "Then tell Gu, and see what she says."

"She will definitely let me go." Xie Cheng said.

Xuan He raised his chin: "Go to sleep."

Xie Cheng agreed, took two steps towards the outside and turned back again: "Mo Yaoyao made a bet with Zhou Daoyu, and Zhou Daoyu won, and what he won was Maizi's tuition for painting. Mo Yaoyao said today that if you If you still want to pay her tuition, tell Zhou Yu directly."

Xuan He didn't react immediately, Xie Cheng smiled: "Brother, do you want to give the money to Zhou Yu?"

"Your sister is really interesting, she treats you so well." Xuan He smiled, "Then invite her to come over for dinner when you have time."

Xie Cheng nodded vigorously: "Brother, go to bed early."

After he finished speaking, he walked out, walked to the door and turned back for the third time.

Xuan He was a little helpless and a little funny, tilted his head and waited for him to speak.

Xie Cheng paused for two seconds: "Brother, no matter what, I mean no matter what kind of relationship between you and Brother Geng Chuan, what kind of relationship, relationship is feeling, you can't deny it, you are willing to understand these things for him What you can’t accept, that’s the proof.”

"I'm sorry, brother, I don't understand these things either," Xie Cheng pulled the doorknob, "I just hope you two don't interact with each other...and important people are important. I don't know which of you will figure it out first, but I Hope you are all happy."

Seeing that Xuan He was stunned and did not speak, he withdrew and closed the door.

Finally said it.

Xie Cheng went back to his room with the repeater in his arms, and felt that there was a stone platform full of dust in his heart, and now he was caressed suddenly.

The next day, Mo Yaoyao took Xie Cheng to the bookstall, discussed with the aunt, and gave a total salary of 700 yuan for one and a half months.

Auntie will leave in two days, and then Xie Cheng will officially start working.

After discussing things, Mo Yaoyao left first because he wanted to see the store. Auntie explained the method of renting books and discs. After listening to Xie Cheng, he said: "Auntie, a book is 3 cents a day, and the salary you pay me Too high."

"Wages are not paid, and it's not a real job." The aunt smiled, "If you didn't come to help me, I would just close the door. You can still collect money while you are here, it doesn't matter."

Xie Cheng has never been very good at dealing with other people's kindness, so in the end he could only purse his lips and say, "Thank you, Auntie, I will definitely take care of the stall for you."

The aunt smiled heartily: "Why is this baby so good? These books are probably not suitable for you to read, but you can take a look at some of them. There are documentaries."

She pointed to the small TV set on the small table.

"Yeah." Xie Cheng also smiled.

I went home in the afternoon and talked to Xuan Fangling, but Xuan Fangling didn't say much, but told him to be more serious when doing things.

She didn't mention whether to go to Xirong to study, but Xie Cheng had already made up her mind.

Or he didn't think about other possibilities at all.

Two days later, Xie Cheng arrived in Tao City with Xuanhe's old textbooks in his arms, and his summer vacation life had begun.

The sun in the west is foggy.

This is a sentence written by Zhou Shuyu casually in the magazine.

Zhou Guyan's house is very big, one of the earliest villas in Xirong, with a spacious yard.

Zhou Shuyu usually plays by himself, either watching TV or playing game consoles, occasionally arranging flowers and plants in the yard, and only reading books when he is really bored.

Contrary to the last Chinese New Year when the house was full of people, this summer is so lonely that there are only cicadas singing, it seems that the whole house, no, it seems that there are only three people left in the whole earth.

After staying for half a month, it was midsummer.

This morning, Zhou Shuoyu was watering the flowers in the yard with a pot, while Zhou Guyan sat on the porch and read the newspaper.

After a while, the sun became poisonous, Zhou Guyan asked, "Is it hot?"

"It's okay." Zhou Shuoyu threw away the kettle, sat on the bamboo chair next to him, poured half a glass of water, stretched his long legs casually, stared at the grass in the courtyard in a daze.

After a while, Zhou Gu'an shouted into the room: "Xiao Sun!"

No one should.

Zhou said with a smile: "Grandpa, you forgot, Aunt Sun came home today."

Zhou Gu'an leaned on his cane and was about to get up, Zhou said in a hurry to get up: "I'll go if you want."

"Reading glasses." Zhou Guyan said.

Zhou Shuoyu touched his shoulder lightly: "Grandpa, sit down, I'll go, where are you?"

"Study." Zhou Gu responded.

Zhou Daoyu nodded, turned and entered the room.

He walked to the second floor in two or three steps, and the door of the study room was ajar. Zhou Guyan said that he could go anywhere in the house, but he hadn't been to the study room yet.

Pushing open the door, the four walls are full of bookcases, a set of tables and chairs in the middle of the room, and a single sofa next to it, all of which look unpretentious.

Zhou Shuoyu saw the reading glasses on the table at a glance, and was about to go to get them, when he passed by a bookcase, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that it was full of photo frames.

He turned his head casually, and froze for a moment when his eyes moved over.

Most of the photos in it were black and white, but there were only two or three color ones, and they turned out to be me.

To be precise, it was my childhood self.

The most recent one seems to be before going to Luohua.

Zhou Taoyu took a closer look, and found a photo of two people in a pile of photos. It was quite a few years ago, and both men and women looked about fifteen or sixteen.

He stared at the young man in the photo carefully, feeling that life is really wonderful in a trance.

Perhaps because he hadn't gone down for too long, Zhou Guan came up.

Zhou Yu was still staring at the photo, stretched out his hand to touch the glass, and asked, "Grandpa, who is this person? Are you?"

"Yes." Zhou Gu'an clearly hasn't seen which photo he is referring to, but he has already agreed, "The one next to you is your grandma, but she died after giving birth to your second uncle."

Zhou Daoyu was in a daze and didn't answer.

Zhou Guyan approached, looked inside together with him, turned his head after looking for a while and said, "You look exactly like me when I was young."

"Why do you still look so similar after a lifetime?" Zhou Taoyu asked, "I was startled just now, I thought it was me in the photo, but after thinking about it, I don't seem to have lost my memory."

Zhou Guyan didn't respond to his joke.

Looking at him, Zhou Shuyu always felt that he seemed to want to communicate with people today, so he asked, "Grandpa, are you classmates with grandma?"

"Student." Zhou Gu'an got up and walked over to sit at the desk, "Your grandma is the daughter of a wealthy family. She moved to my neighborhood after the founding of the People's Republic of China. She was in the same class in high school, and later entered junior high school together. At that time, we were in a small town. We didn’t go to high school, so we went to Xirong again.”

Zhou said with a smile: "Grandpa, did you like grandma since you were a child?"

Zhou Gu'an talked a lot today, Zhou Shuoyu was not afraid of him at first, so he asked when he thought of it, and he didn't feel anything wrong after asking.

Zhou Guyan was silent for a while, and finally smiled.

He smiled very lightly, and the sternness on his face was not diluted at all, but a bit of tenderness suddenly added to the sternness.

Zhou Daoyu thought it was strange to see him laugh, so he laughed too.

"You are a high school student now, 15 and a half years old, when you were young and energetic, did you notice any little girl?" Zhou Guyan asked.

Zhou Shuoyu tilted his head, sat on the sofa, and looked at him suspiciously: "Grandpa, why do you ask such a question? If it were my parents, they would definitely not be able to mention the rough edges of puppy love. My aunt also said no." Puppy love, my best friend is a very good student, and he also said that you can't fall in love early."

Zhou Guyan returned to his expressionless face, but his tone was gentle: "You are now in adolescence, and it is normal to be curious about the opposite sex and want to get close, as long as you know what to do and what not to do. Your parents It's because I'm picky in my heart that I feel that it's not important to say these things. Look at me and your grandma."

"Hey hey," Zhou said, lying on the armrest of the sofa, "You admitted it!"

Zhou Guyan looked at him with clear eyes, Zhou Shuoyu knew that he was asking the previous question.

"I don't know." Zhou Yu said bluntly, "Because I'm not curious about any girl, nor do I want to get close to any girl."

Zhou Guyan smiled lightly again: "It's okay, I'll understand when I should understand."

Zhou Shuoyu didn't speak, just looked at him like that, as if he was concentrating on observing something.

Zhou Guyan didn't ask any questions, just looked down at the newspaper.

"Grandpa," Zhou Shuoyu couldn't help asking, "Why do you talk to me so much today? Do you suddenly want to talk today? Then let's talk a little more?"

Zhou Guyan didn't look up, and didn't answer.

The rose stands in the yard outside the window were full of flowers, when a gust of wind suddenly blew up, they fell like waves.

Just when Zhou Shuyu thought that Zhou Gu'an would not speak again, Zhou Gu'an said, "Do you know who took your name?"

"Huh?" Zhou Daoyu was stunned for a moment, "Who?"

Zhou Guyan raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on him from above the reading glasses, but he didn't seem to be looking at him.

Finally, he explained slowly: "The situation was not good at the time. Your grandma had a problem with her background. We had a hard time. We had to send your father to a distant relative's house in the countryside. The family wanted to change Zhou Quan's name, so we went with him. They agreed that Zhou Quan's name will be changed if they change it, but if there are grandchildren in the future, the name will be determined by us."

The study room became quiet, the grandpa and grandson looked at each other, and Zhou Daoyu uttered a sentence for a long time: "Grandma took it?"

Zhou Guyan nodded.

Zhou Shuoyu asked again, "Then why am I called Zhou Shuoyu?"

☆, talk about

Zhou Gu settled down for a while, and said: "Your grandma told me back then that she was willing to follow me because I taught her the usage of the word 'Yu' when I was studying. To "Chu Ci", to "Historical Records."

He smiled and said, "I told her about "Bao Ren An Shu" and said that people are inherently mortal, so I told her that my death cannot be heavier than Mount Tai, but I will not be willing to be lighter than a feather."

Zhou Guyan lowered his voice as he spoke, his throat seemed to contain gravel, and it sounded particularly hoarse.

The sense of aging in people suddenly appeared, and at this awkward but wonderful moment, Zhou Daoyu was hit by an unknown emotion.

Zhou Shuoyu suddenly wanted to cry.

After a long while, he deliberately joked, "You must have done it on purpose. You are so naive, grandpa. You want to be more knowledgeable in front of grandma so that she can marry you!"

"Yeah, I was seen through by Yu." Zhou Gu'an put down the newspaper and took off his reading glasses.

Zhou Shuoyu laughed to himself for a long time: "I have a good brother named Chai Ke. I call him a dog and he calls me a fish. He likes a sister who is several years older than us. He is fascinated and likes it so much. He is like a lover. But my sister knows everything, and he doesn't understand anything. My sister treats him like a brat, so he can't be as handsome as you."

Zhou Guyan's face seemed plain, but he had been listening to him carefully.

After talking about Chaike for a while, Zhou Shuoyu suddenly asked, "Grandpa, what day is it today?"

"Today," Zhou Guyan touched the table and said slowly, "Today is your grandma's birthday."

Zhou said in a daze: "Grandma's birthday?"

Zhou Guyan was silent, and he never spoke again until dinner.

As the sun sinks from the alleys of Taoshi, Luohua ushers in the gorgeous sky unique to summer, and then the orange is covered by gray blue, the moon rises, and the sparse stars shine.

Xuan He was in his own room, with an admission notice on the desk, and the other three members of the family were downstairs watching TV.

Xie Cheng stared at the TV without speaking, the corners of his mouth were pursed straight.

Xuan Fangling's face was slightly worried, but it was still normal.

Xuan Mai huddled in the corner of the chair, hugged a cushion to support his chin, blinked his eyes from time to time, and observed the other two people.

After a long silence, Xuan Fangling said, "Xiaocheng, your dad called back today."

Xie Cheng hesitated for a moment, and knowingly asked: "What?"

Xuan Fangling: "Tell me about going to Xirong to go to high school."

Xuan Mai didn't know about this, and looked at Xie Cheng in surprise: "Second brother is going to Xirong to study in high school?"

"I won't go, I won't go." Xie Cheng stretched out his hand to touch her reassuringly, then turned to Xuan Fangling, insisting, "Mom, I won't go."

Xuan Fangling: "I think the environment there is better, but I don't have to go there. It's your father who insisted you go, saying that the quality of education there is good."

Xie Cheng: "My brother is going to go to college soon, what should I do if he and I leave the house? Just you and Maizi, we are too busy, and Maizi is still young. What if something happens?"

"The family is just living. Why can't I live with my sister?" Xuan Fangling said, "Besides, what's the matter, the neighbors are still there, what can you do as a child?"

"I won't go, Mom, I really don't want to go." Xie Cheng's tone was a little turbulent, "I studied in the old elementary school when I was a child, isn't that what my dad said? He said that whatever the grades are good, it's good if the grades are not good. Neither is good. Why is he talking about the educational environment now?"

Xuan Fangling didn't speak, Xie Cheng added resolutely: "My brother is a senior in No. [-] Middle School, and I also want to go to No. [-] Middle School. No. [-] Middle School is good enough. I won't even go to Qingyu, let alone Xirong gone."

As soon as the words were finished, Xuan He went downstairs and entered the house, and laughed when he heard his words: "How can I love my family so much? I'm going to go to university in the future."

Xuan Fangling said: "When children grow up, they have to leave home. Now they are just studying. In the future, you will have to start a family and live with other people."

"I don't!" Xie Cheng was a little excited, "I won't leave. Brother, don't you love your family? Why don't you choose a school farther away if you don't love your family?"

Xuan He was silent, and Xuan Fangling asked a little angrily, "Are you going to poke your brother's wound?"

Xie Cheng was taken aback, and turned away guiltily.
