Independence Day Study Plan

"

Xie Cheng smiled, moved up, and leaned his chin on Zhou Tao's shoulder.

His expression was a little dazed, so he showed a very shallow innocence, which was quite different from his usual appearance.

"I don't know if I'm sad or not, but it just feels unreal." He whispered.

Zhou Shuoyu didn't speak, just lowered his head, as if inadvertently, resting his chin on top of his head.

Xie Cheng's mind was elsewhere, and he didn't notice this movement, so Zhou Daoyu pressed even tighter.

Then Xie Cheng said: "Zhou Jiangyu, I haven't done my homework, and I have to get up tomorrow morning to catch up with my homework."

Zhou said, "What a coincidence, I didn't write it either."

The two of them didn't speak anymore, only listening to the sound of insects outside.

After a quarter of an hour, Zhou Shuoyu suddenly realized that Xie Cheng hadn't moved. He looked down and found that he had fallen asleep.

He curled his lips helplessly, turned off the light, and pulled the quilt over to cover it.

Under the quilt, Xie Cheng still pressed half of his body on him.

I didn't feel it when I turned on the light just now, but after the darkness came over, Zhou Daoyu suddenly felt that the person in front of him was a little... disturbing.

Xie Cheng's breathing rhythm is very steady, and his brows are peaceful.

It was not the first time for the two of them to sleep together, and Zhou Daoyu knew that he was fast asleep.

Xie Cheng is fast asleep... fast asleep, yes, fast asleep.

He was fast asleep, in his arms.

Such thoughts clearly hovered in his mind, and Zhou Daoyu suddenly felt a little hot and dry.

After lying quietly for a while, he closed his eyes, took Xie Cheng's arm and moved it down, lay it on his waist, followed him and lowered his head, burying his face in his hair.

Xie Cheng felt that the top of his head was being pressed in his sleep, so he raised his head, and Zhou Daoyu hurriedly gave way.

With no pressure on the top of his head, he rubbed against his neck, looking for a comfortable pillow.

At the same time, his hand swept across Zhou Shuoyu's side, finally clenched into a half fist, and stopped by his shoulder.

Zhou Shuoyu held his breath and let him move.

He didn't let out a sigh of relief until the movement of the person in front of him completely disappeared.

He originally wanted to sleep with someone in his arms, but as soon as he closed his eyes, Xie Cheng's body became so hot that no one could ignore it.

His face was pressed against his neck, so close that Zhou Taoyu had the illusion, as if the two were actually connected as one.

The night sinks into the day every minute and every second, but the violent heartbeat has never calmed down.

After a long time, Zhou Shuoyu turned sideways, let go of Xie Cheng carefully, pulled the pillow, and let him move off his body.

Then he hurried out of bed.

The door knocked lightly, and Xie Cheng turned over.

The next day Zhou Daoyu woke up early, and Xie Cheng was picked up by him.

Before dawn, the two of them had already arrived at the school, and they were still discussing on the way that they might enter the classroom through the window, but Ye Zhiqiu was already there when they went.

"God, why are you here so early?" Zhou Jiangyu asked.

"You don't care about me at all. I always have a key to the classroom, okay? I open the door eight out of ten days." Ye Zhiqiu smiled, "I should ask you this question. It's fine if you come early. Why did Xie Cheng come so early?"

Before Xie Cheng could speak, Zhou Shuoyu said first, "Don't say it, he fell asleep when he went back yesterday, and fell asleep until this morning, without doing his homework. Hey, woman, can you lend me the math exercise book?"

"No." Ye Zhiqiu flatly refused, "You two slept together?"

Zhou said, "Yes, are you not convinced?"

Xie Cheng: "..."

Ye Zhiqiu cupped his fists: "Sufu, how old are you still sleeping with someone?"

Zhou Shuoyu snorted.

Xie Cheng didn't say much, just pretended he didn't hear, and quickly sat down and took out the exercise book to make up for homework.

In the early morning, autumn mist rose on the mountain, and it looked like a fairyland from the window.

Although many questions were scribbled, but at least he handed in his homework before the morning self-study. Xie Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at the hillside outside.

The greenery is stained with the color of frost, deep and shallow, layer after layer, and when the sun shines on the fog, it finally looks like the world.

Zhou Shuoyu said behind his back: "The sun is coming out."

Xie Cheng didn't look back, and hooked the corner of his mouth.

Two days later, all the money borrowed from various places was pooled together. While Xuan Mai was doing homework upstairs, Xuan Fangling and Xie Cheng counted together, and there was still a shortfall of [-].

There was a draft paper in front of him, with large and small numbers written all over it in a mess, Xie Cheng looked at the paper and asked, "Is there anyone else I can borrow?"

Xuan Fangling's face was full of wind and frost, and she shook her head: "20, I never dared to think that I could get so much money from my hands before. This is already borrowing everything that can be borrowed. Mom has no relatives here. You The second uncle and our family have long since broken off contact, only your grandparents, where did the old man get the money? I dare not say this. Your father... There is only one uncle left on your father's side, who has never been in contact with each other. .”

"Uncle Xie, I don't know how many years of savings have been given to our family, as well as your Aunt Lan," Xuan Fangling said in a low voice, "She is a woman, although the younger family wants to give her money, but she treats younger It’s only more or less, it’s not easy to start a business to make money, I reckon her savings are all with us.”

Xie Cheng frowned and remained silent.

"Your brother doesn't even pay for the school's subsidy." Xuan Fangling continued to sigh, "What should a young man do if he doesn't have enough food and clothing to stay warm when he is studying outside?"

Xie Cheng: "Mom, don't worry, my brother has never made you worry about him when he is so old."

Xuan Fangling smiled wryly: "Why don't you worry about it? No matter how capable you are, you're still a baby, and you don't like to treat yourself well, just remember you and Maizi."

It was already a little cold at night, Xie Cheng thought it was because of autumn, and his heart was a little cold.

He covered the zipper of his school uniform, frowned, and recalculated the accounts that were clearly clear at a glance in the draft book.

Not a single point more.

Finally Xuan Fangling said: "Forget it, don't worry about this for now, just go and do your homework."

Xie Cheng had no choice but to answer, and asked again: "When is the deadline?"

"NO.14." Xuan Fangling said.

There are still two days to go, Xie Cheng's heart tightens.

Getting up and preparing to leave the main room and go upstairs, Xuan Fangling suddenly said from behind: "Oh yes, today your brother Geng Chuan called the wine shop and said he was looking for you."

"Huh?" Xie Cheng turned around in surprise, "He called me?"

Xuan Fangling nodded: "Yeah, I thought he called the shop because he didn't know your brother's number, but he said he was looking for you because he wanted to care about your studies?"

Seeing that Xie Cheng didn't speak, she said again: "If you want to say that Geng Chuan is the same, he loves to hang out with our house since he was a child, and you also love to follow him, as if he is also your brother."

"It's brother, don't I also call him brother?" Xie Cheng smiled and took Xuan Fangling's cell phone, "Then I'll call him back."

"Why are you so stupid now?" Xuan Fangling said, "How did you call the army? I don't even know the number. He said he would call at night."

"I forgot." Xie Cheng said in a low voice, and went upstairs with his mobile phone.

Even though Xuanhe had already gone to Qingyu, Geng Chuan's letters were still sent to Luohua, so Xie Cheng didn't know what was going on with him, and he needed to call so urgently.

After thinking about it, he began to hesitate whether to tell Geng Chuan about the family affairs.

Before he could make a decision, the phone rang.

☆, distressed

Xie Cheng picked up the phone, and Geng Chuan asked, "Xiao Cheng?"

"Brother Geng Chuan." Xie Cheng called out.

Geng Chuan probably had a time limit or something, and didn't exchange much greetings, so he came up and asked, "Xiaocheng, is there something wrong at home?"

Xie Cheng was taken aback and asked, "How do you know?"

"Everyone I know is in Luohua, how can there be an airtight wall?" Geng Chuan said calmly, "If I don't ask you today, don't you plan to tell me?"

Xie Cheng didn't speak, but Geng Chuan said, "I know."

"I don't know what to say," Xie Cheng said frankly, "Just now my mother said you were looking for me, but I'm still thinking about whether to tell you."

Geng Chuan: "What's going on? I heard from Yangzi that your family is borrowing money everywhere?"

Xie Cheng was afraid that Xuan Mai in the room over there would hear it, so he paused, and said in a soft voice: "I owe a little debt, and I'm dealing with it now."

"How much money is left?" Geng Chuan asked directly.

Xie Cheng: "More than 5."

After a moment of silence, Geng Chuan said: "Look through the letters I sent, there is a letter for your brother, in a thick water-blue envelope, with a seedling mark on the lower right corner."

Xie Cheng was puzzled: "Huh? What happened to the letter?"

Geng Chuan: "There is a savings card in that letter, the password is your brother's birthday, the last two digits of the year plus the month and day."

Xie Cheng's surprise turned into shock: "Debit card? What's the matter, brother Geng Chuan? You just sent it here? Are you afraid of losing it? How do you know something will happen to my family?"

"Keep your voice down." Geng Chuan smiled, his voice was as calm as ever, as if everything was under his control, "I was afraid that your brother would go to college at the time."

He spoke vaguely, but Xie Cheng understood immediately.

Geng Chuan's words were clearly trying to save face for Xie Jun and their family.

Xie Cheng felt sore, and said, "We are sorry for my brother, and we didn't let him go to a good university."

"Xiaocheng, don't say that," Geng Chuan comforted, "If your brother knows that he will never end with you, he chose it himself. There is nothing to be sorry for. In fact, I guessed his decision at first, but I want to It doesn’t matter where you put the money anyway, in case you can persuade him.”

He smiled: "But he is more stubborn than you, even if he really wants to go, he will definitely not ask for my money."

Xie Cheng: "But..."

"There are people queuing up at the back, so I'll make a long story short." Geng Chuan interrupted him in a gentle voice: "Don't let your brother know about this, or he won't want to see me even more. There is 10 yuan in the card, and you don't know how much money you need." Take it out and find some excuse to give the money to your mother."

The strangeness in Xie Cheng's heart quickly dissipated.

Because the other party is Geng Chuan, and Geng Chuan is for Xuan He, so this matter is very natural.

He was worried about something else.

"Where did you get the money?" He asked, "What about the card?"

"Don't worry about where the money came from. You can keep the card." Geng Chuan said, "Anyway, let's solve the emergency at home first."

Xie Cheng hesitated: "Brother Geng Chuan, will my brother blame me if he finds out?"

Geng Chuan: "If he wants to blame, let him blame me. I forced you, but you just don't let him know. I have to hang up the small application, and I will leave this matter to you. Don't call me brother, I won't talk to you anymore."

Xie Cheng smiled when he heard the words: "The tone of the last sentence is like that of Zhou Yu."

Geng Chuan also laughed: "Okay, go quickly, study hard, and write to me next time to tell me Zhou Zhou's phone number, so that I won't be able to find you. Only when this matter is resolved will your brother feel at ease, or else I'm not at ease either."

After a pause, he said with a sigh: "Thinking about how he's worried, my heart aches."

What he said was extremely gentle and forbearing, as if he had been filled with love and affection for a long time, and the sealed film could no longer contain his affection, and a light sigh overflowed like a fish.

However, in a short while, the emotions were properly put away again, and the silence that came up seemed that the whisper just now was an illusion.

Xie Cheng touched the tip of his nose: "Thank you Brother Geng Chuan, I will return the money to you in the future."

The other end smiled.

As if someone was urging him from behind, Geng Chuan hurriedly said "See you later" and hung up the phone.

The faint tree shadows in the distance swayed, and Xie Cheng stood in front of the window.

He thought of Xie Jun, Xuan He, and Geng Chuan's words just now, and then he slowly felt sad.

It was like being stabbed in the heart with a blunt axe.

It wasn't until this moment that he finally confirmed that no matter how complicated and helpless the real reason was, the man who gave birth to him had really abandoned him.

Unbelievably, without warning, this family has been left with a bunch of painful and airy holes.

So-called "outsiders" are needed to make up for it.

Xie Cheng's pain came from the fact that he didn't know why.

After school the next afternoon, Xie Cheng told Zhou Yu about the matter, took the money and held it in his arms, and the two began to discuss how to give the money to Xuan Fangling.

Xie Cheng said, "Why don't you find Mo Yaoyao?"

Zhou Jiangyu said: "No, no matter what, Mo Yaoyao has no reason to send money to your family."

Xie Cheng: "But Mo Yaoyao is kind to Maizi, my mother knows that."

Zhou said: "It's one thing to know, but another to accept it. Can being nice to Maizi be the same as giving money to Maizi? Don't worry about Mo Yaoyao opening a shop. Baby? Would your mother ask for a kid's money?"

Xie Cheng: "But who else can I find besides Mo Yaoyao? She is already the oldest person I know, or she is the aunt on the book stand, but she has no reason to lend me money."

Zhou said: "Mo Yaoyao is really bad, I bet your mother won't ask for this money."

"Hey, hey," Mo Yaoyao stood behind the two of them, "What's the matter with you two? Squat in front of my store and talk about me in front of me, pretending that I don't exist?"

Zhou said with a hippie smile: "It's not in front of your face, isn't it with your back?"

Mo Yaoyao patted him on the top of the head: "But you are right, I will give this money, and Auntie will definitely not take it."

Xie Cheng: "Then what should we do?"

Mo Yaoyao thought for a while: "Let Zhou Yu and his aunt go."

"But even if the money is given to Aunt Lan, I still have to explain the source." Xie Cheng said, "Besides, Aunt Lan and my mother have a good relationship, and they both talk about everything."

Zhou said: "Pretend you picked it up?"

Xie Cheng: "..."

"All right," Zhou said, "I'm talking nonsense."

Xie Chengsi thought about it, and finally said: "Why don't I tell my mother directly."

Mo Yaoyao asked: "Where did this money come from?"

Xie Cheng and Zhou Shuoyu looked at each other, and seemed to realize that Mo Yaoyao didn't know the origin of the money. Xie Cheng thought about it and said, "A brother borrowed it."

Mo Yaoyao: "Then just say that he borrowed it, wouldn't it be over?"

"Well, yes." Xie Cheng replied vaguely.

The two said goodbye to Mo Yaoyao, got up and walked towards Xuanjia Lane, Zhou Daoyu asked, "Xie Cheng, where did Brother Geng Chuan get the money?"

"I don't know, he won't tell." Xie Chengying.

Zhou said: "He is really kind to you."

Xie Cheng nodded.

Zhou said: "You accept his help, not mine."

When he said this, Xie Cheng suddenly felt something was wrong, looked at him in surprise, and finally said: "You are still a child."

Zhou Shuoyu responded with a drawn-out voice, "Okay, my child."

Xie Cheng sighed inwardly.

Geng Chuan likes Xuanhe, men like men, how can he tell Zhou Yu about this?Once said, everything will be messed up.

When Xuan Fangling came back at night, Xie Cheng took Xuan Maizhi to take a bath, and then took out the money.

Xuan Fangling was shocked: "Where did you get the money?"

Xie Cheng: "Brother Geng Chuan sent it over today. He doesn't know who he heard from someone that our family is borrowing money."

Xuan Fangling had no doubts about him, and asked, "Did he have so much money when he first joined the army?"

"A military allowance." Xie Cheng said.

Xuan Fangling was silent for a long time, and finally said: "He is still a child, this money cannot be borrowed from him."

Xie Cheng: "Mom, brother Geng Chuan said let's solve the problem first, and we'll talk about paying back the money later. He said he doesn't need the money in the army."

Xuan Fangling remained silent, Xie Cheng said again: "Don't tell brother that you borrowed money from him."

"Don't tell your brother?" Xuan Fangling was surprised, "Didn't your brother tell him this?"

Xie Cheng: "No, they had a falling out before they left, and they haven't communicated. If my brother found out, he definitely didn't want the money, so Brother Geng Chuan sent me the savings card urgently."

Xuan Fangling hesitated: "If your brother says you can't ask for the money, then I..."

"Tomorrow is the last payment day, so do you want to give them the house?" Xie Cheng asked.

Xuan Fangling paused for a long time, then suddenly choked up, barely made a sound when she spoke, and finally could only utter one sentence: "This money is too heavy."

Xie Cheng guessed that she thought of the same thing as himself, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Xuan Fangling froze for two seconds, got up and hurried outside.

Xie Cheng sat where he was and turned his head, seeing her raising her hand to wipe her face.

When Xuan Fangling came back again, the mother and son called Xuan He.

There were too many people who borrowed money, Xuan He breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't bother to ask who borrowed how much from whom, so Xuan Fangling did not say much according to Xie Cheng's intention.

The next day is repayment day, but Xie Cheng is in school.

Zhou Jiang asked about the situation during the break, and he replied, "Don't be afraid, Uncle Xie is here, as long as they pay back the money, they have nothing to say."

"It will be fine after today." Zhou Jiangyu said.

Xie Cheng nodded.

After school, everything was as usual at home, and Xuan Fangling didn't say anything more to Xie Cheng, as if there was no such thing as borrowing money and repaying debts.

Xie Cheng also remained silent without asking.

The matter seemed to end there, and it ended more easily than expected, but it didn't seem to be resolved at all.

Because all that is left is ruins, and there is no way to build it.

In the blink of an eye, it was Monday again, during the class meeting, Gentle asked everyone to give their opinions, discussing the attire for the opening ceremony of the sports meeting next weekend.

Zhou Jiangyu muttered, "Isn't it good to wear a school uniform?"

"Not good!" Xiao Xiao said immediately, "Sports meet, it's hard not to wear the same clothes, of course you have to be a little more creative."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Isn't it true that the whole class has to wear the same uniform? Do you think you can wear your camouflage uniform with ripped pants?"

The classroom was noisy, as long as someone made an opinion, Gentle would write on the blackboard, such as military uniform, sportswear, hand-painted T...

I wrote a bunch of them in a mess.

In the end, seeing that no one had any new opinions, she smiled softly: "Then let's vote? But I also have a proposal."

"Teacher Wen said!" The cheerleader Wang answered immediately.

Wenrou suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and said, "When I was in high school, it was popular to wear white shirts with a vest or short sleeves inside. How about we add the white shirts?"

Zhou Yu laughed a few times: "Mr. Wen, what is the taste of the [-]s?"

"White shirt is good." Xie Cheng said suddenly.

He seldom expressed his opinion in class, and the students who heard it were a little surprised.

Ye Zhiqiu took the words: "The white shirt feels clean, and the shirt is not out of date, it looks good anytime you wear it."

Zhou Shuoyu coughed and said loudly, "Vote, vote!"

Everyone shouted: "Vote!"

The whole class voted with a show of hands, Rourou issued orders one by one, and Ye Zhiqiu helped count.

Xie Cheng opened a magazine in the gap, and was looking at it seriously, when his vest was poked suddenly.

He turned his hands away, Zhou Shuoyu stuffed a small note into his hand, then stretched out his index finger to scratch his palm.

Xie Cheng's palms itched, and he quickly took them back.

Taking advantage of Xiao Xiao who was next to him being excited and not paying attention, he opened the note, and the handwriting on it was unrestrained——

"Thank you, I want to give you a present."

☆, gift

Xie Cheng put the note in his schoolbag, and said softly on the podium: "Okay, next one, white shirt."

After the words were finished, people in the class raised their hands sparsely, and paused for two seconds. Some people looked around, and then raised their hands, and finally raised nearly half of them.

Zhou talked about leaning back on the back of the chair with a big face, and raised his right hand flamboyantly high.

Ye Zhiqiu laughed at him: "Don't you dislike the aesthetics of the last century?"

"Heh." Zhou Shuoyu glanced at her, "Did I say I don't like it?"

Ye Zhiqiu was full of disgust: "I got you, Zhou Yu, you can say everything."

Zhou Taoyu looked at Xie Cheng's raised hand in front of him, and suddenly found that his fingers were really slender. Looking at it, he wanted to grab it.

Finally put down his hands, he turned his head and whispered to Ye Zhiqiu, "Did Mr. Wen like some guy who liked to wear white shirts when he was young?"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled, looked up at the stage: "Don't talk nonsense."

Everyone in the class seemed to be very interested in Wenrou's proposal, or maybe it was because they liked her. In the end, the voting results came out, and it was really decided to be a white shirt.

Classes were always rambunctious, Zhou Yu seemed to be in a good mood, and kept humming softly for the remaining half of the class.

In the end Ye Zhiqiu slapped him: "It's like a mosquito is flying, it's annoying you to death."

Xie Cheng turned his head, with a playful smile in his eyes.

Today is the turn of Xie Cheng and Xiao Xiao to be on duty.

As soon as the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Xiao Xiao immediately picked up her schoolbag and wanted to run. Just as she took a step, Zhou Daoyu grabbed her back by the collar.

"Hey! Let me go, brother!" Xiao Xiao said helplessly, "I made an appointment with someone for a game!"

Zhou Daoyu raised his chin, looked at him, and said coldly, "Sweep the floor."

Xiao Xiao turned to Xie Cheng pitifully: "Thank you, thank you!"

Xie Cheng glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, and said ruthlessly, "Sweep the floor."

"Alas." Xiao Xiao let out a long sigh, and put down her schoolbag.

"Get out of the way." Xie Cheng brought the broom to Zhou Daoyu's feet.

Zhou Shuoyu took a step back, and the broom followed suit, and swept over his feet again.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Shuoyu asked, "Did you owe me a beating?"

Xie Cheng: "Those who deserve a beating will always feel that others deserve a beating. Don't get in the way."

Zhou Jiangyu was holding the new issue of "Chinese National Geographic" in his hand. The October special issue was postponed until now because of the National Day. This year marks the 55th anniversary of the publication, and he is heavy on a thicker edition.

He let out a "tweet", ran to the edge of the podium, jumped up to the podium and sat down, leaning on the table with one leg bent, while the other dangled once and for all.

There was only the sound of sweeping the floor in the classroom, Xie Cheng looked up after a while, and wanted to call Xiao Xiao to take out the trash, but found that she was gone.

He looks towards the front of the classroom.

Zhou Yuzheng lowered his head, looking seriously at the book on his lap, the orange light came in from the window, just enveloping him in it.

The curtain was lifted by the wind, cutting the afterglow of the setting sun, and the light and shadow appeared mottled.Between light and dark, there seemed to be a pool of water beside the podium.

When the wind blows, the reflection seems to shake.

Xie Cheng stared blankly for a long time.

While he was in a daze, the wind blew the glass against the wall, and there was a sudden bang. He was startled, then recovered, and shouted: "Zhou Daoyu."

"Huh?" Zhou Daoyu looked up at him.

After looking at each other for two seconds, Xie Cheng said, "Help me take out the trash."

"Are you still directing me?" Zhou Daoyu raised his eyebrows, glanced at the empty classroom, bared his teeth, and said, "Come tomorrow and clean up Xiao Xiao first."

As he spoke, he jumped down, walked to Xie Cheng, pushed the magazine into his arms, and carried the trash can out of the teaching building.

Xie Cheng put the book on his desk, turned around and continued to sweep the floor, but stopped after sweeping twice, just standing there with the broom, looking at the light under the curtain.

After a while, Zhou Shuoyu came in, and his whole chest hit his back straight: "Why are you so preoccupied?"

--Miss you.

Xie Cheng pursed his lips, quickly silenced the voice in his head, and asked, "What do you want to give me?"

"I won't tell you." Zhou Shuoyu dragged his voice, proudly said, "This is a secret, it's a surprise, it's meaningless to say it now."

Xie Cheng: "...it's a secret and you still tell me?"

Zhou Jiangyu: "I originally wanted to give it to you on your birthday, but today I suddenly changed my mind. I wanted to give it to you during the sports meeting. Once I changed my mind, I couldn't help but want to say it."

Xie Cheng had nothing to say, he threw away the broom and prepared to go outside to wash his hands.

Zhou Yu followed behind him with a smile: "What do you say about me? You obviously kept it a secret for a long time, but now you're telling it again."

"I still want to ask you what's going on, you ask me?" Xie Cheng turned to look at him, like looking at a fool.

Zhou said: "I'm impatient, so I need you to be anxious with me."

Xie Cheng: "I'll teach you a way to take it easy."

Zhou said: "Say."

Xie Cheng: "Tell me right now, so that neither of us is in a hurry, and we can kill two birds with one stone."

"No." Zhou Shuoyu squinted his eyes with a smile, and looked at him with interest, "I just want to see you anxious."

"You're insane!" Xie Cheng turned around and wanted to kick him, but Zhou Dao stepped aside, turned on the water, and washed his hands while whistling.

The days of going forward on the playground are exactly the same as those in junior high school. If there is any difference, the distance between Xie Cheng and Zhou Jiangyu is closer.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, Friday.

The next morning was the opening ceremony of the sports meeting. Xie Cheng went back in the afternoon, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that Xuan Fangling was already at home.

She had a bag by her hand.

"Mom." Xie Cheng shouted, "Is the door closed so early today?"

Xuan Mai said beside him: "Second brother is back! I'm going to Xirong!"

Xie Cheng was still carrying his schoolbag, and asked in surprise, "Going to Xirong? What are you going to do?"

Xuan Fangling was very calm: "Your father still has some things to deal with at the construction site. I just received a call at noon, and some workers were arguing, saying that Xie Jun owed them wages."

Xie Cheng suddenly felt an evil fire in his heart, and said coldly: "What does it matter to us?"

Xuan Fangling didn't speak, just bowed her head.

Xie Cheng took two steps forward, and seeing two pieces of clothes on the chair, he gritted his teeth secretly, and stood still, feeling that he had nowhere to vent his anger.

Xuan Mai was originally sitting next to Xuan Fangling, when he saw this, he got up and took Xie Cheng's arm.She touched his back comfortingly: "Second brother."

Xie Cheng returned his hand and touched her head.

After a while Xuan Fangling raised her head and looked at him with a slight accusation.Xie Cheng suddenly felt that his attitude was a bit too much, and said: "Then I will accompany you."

"What if you went to my sister?" Xuan Fangling asked.

Xie Cheng didn't speak.

Xuan Mai looked at this, looked at that, frowned and didn't speak.

Xuan Fangling pulled Maizi over and asked Xie Cheng, "Is the schoolbag not heavy?"

Xie Cheng threw the schoolbag to the side, and she said: "Don't worry, I told your Aunt Lan that she just called someone to look after the stall, and she is packing things at home now. It's better for her to accompany me there than you ? And your brother is going tomorrow too."

Hearing that Xuan He and Aunt Lan were going, Xie Cheng felt relieved, and finally said "um", "When are the tickets? Tomorrow morning?"

"Let's go later." Xuan Fangling replied.

Xie Cheng: "Why so suddenly? I'm leaving soon? Can't I go tomorrow morning?"

Xuan Fangling: "The earlier the matter is settled, the earlier the peace of mind will be. I will stay overnight today, and I will go to the construction site tomorrow morning."

While folding a veil, she warned: "It may take several days. You take care of your sister. Don't be lazy in the morning. Get up a little earlier and supervise her to eat breakfast before going to school. You don't have to worry about the shop." , thank you uncle for being here."

After finishing speaking, she suddenly remembered something: "I forgot, you have a sports meeting tomorrow?"

"It's okay, my second brother is busy with his work." Xuan Mai folded his hands obediently, put them on the table, and looked at Xuan Fangling eagerly, "Gu, I draw at Sister Yao's place during the day, and when it's dark Can I sleep with Sister Yao? I will take my homework with me."

Xuan Fangling smiled: "Yes, but you can't sleep too late at night."

She turned to Xie Cheng and said with a sigh: "You and Xiaohe's friends are all good to our family."

Xie Cheng also smiled: "Yes."

As soon as the things were packed, Zhou Daoyu and Aunt Lan came over together.

Zhou Shuoyu seemed to have just realized that Aunt Lan was leaving, and his face was still a little dazed. Xuan Fangling told Xie Cheng a few more words, and they went out together.

Xie Cheng wanted to send them to the station, Xuan Fangling waved her hand: "Go back and do your homework."

Aunt Lan pointed at Zhou Shuoyu and threatened: "You are not allowed to play games! Obediently follow Xiaocheng to read the homework, do you hear me?"

"Oh, don't fight, don't fight, how many times have you said it? I haven't been to an Internet cafe for a long time!" Zhou Jiangyu shouted angrily, "You slander me!"

Aunt Lan couldn't laugh or cry.

The two women walked away carrying their bags, and the three younger ones looked at each other at the door. Zhou Shuoyu scratched his head: "What's going on now? Are there only three brothers and sisters left?"

Xie Cheng: "Are you hungry? Cook?"

"It's so early." Zhou said to Yu Ying.

Xuan Mai hugged Xie Cheng's arm, looked up at him: "Second brother, I want to go to sister Yao."

Zhou Yu tugged at her braids: "You girl, it's better to be with your elder sister Yao than with your second brother. You are busy looking for her right after your aunt left."

Xuan Mai wrinkled his nose at him: "Otherwise, my second brother would not know how to tie his hair, and Sister Yao would have beautiful hair, which looks better than my own."

She bent her eyes to pull Xie Cheng: "Second brother, anyway, you have a sports meeting tomorrow, and you don't have time to take care of me for dinner during the day. Before you come back, my aunt has already given the key to Uncle Xie, so don't worry about anything."

Xie Cheng pinched her on the face: "You ghost."

This is what consent means.

Xuan Mai said "Oh" loudly, and excitedly entered the house to pick up her schoolbag, and was about to run when Xie Cheng asked, "Your elder sister Yao usually tells you why you like her so much?"

"Tell a story!" Xuan Mai said.

Xie Cheng suddenly remembered that Mo Yaoyao said that she had read too many romance novels in junior high school, so he grabbed Xuan Mai in shock: "What story?"

"Telling a fairy tale about a bean and two clouds with legs, it's so interesting! She said she made it up herself, and I'll draw it after she tells it!" Xuan Mai was very excited, his eyes widened. Light.

Zhou Shuoyu asked Xie Cheng inexplicably, "What are you thinking?"

"No." Xie Cheng responded casually, patted Xuan Mai on the head, "Go, be careful of the car."

Seeing Xuan Mai bouncing away, Xie Cheng looked back at Zhou Daoyu.

At the first glance, he suddenly realized one thing——

Now there are only the two of them left in the two families.

The courtyard was empty, but Xie Cheng secretly felt awkward, his heart beat suddenly out of rhythm.

He didn't show any clues on his face, Zhou Taoyu sighed: "Why are we the only two left?"

"Ah." Xie Cheng said as he walked towards the house, "You want to go too?"

Zhou Daoyu laughed.

Xie Cheng walked a few steps, and suddenly found that Zhou Daoyu hadn't followed in, turned his head to look, and he was gone.

It was clearly not a big deal, but my heart still sank heavily.

How can I just leave?

Xie Cheng stood at the door for two seconds, then turned and entered the room.

He watched TV in the house for a while, feeling bored, so he went to hug the fish tank to change the water. After changing the water, he was squatting by the side to feed the fish, when footsteps sounded at the gate of the courtyard.

Xie Cheng turned his head and saw Zhou Taoyu entering the yard with a bag in his hand.

Zhou Shuoyu waved his hand at him: "Come and see the gift for you!"

After he finished speaking, he was about to go upstairs, and after taking a step, he turned back and pointed at him: "Wash your hands clean!"

Xie Cheng was taken aback, got up and washed his hands, and followed him upstairs.

☆, orange

On the balcony, the bedroom door was already closed, Xie Cheng didn't know what Zhou Shuoyu was up to, he hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his hand to open the door.

Facing him is a large painting.

In the painting, a fish is jumping up from the sea, the back of the fish is blue, the sea is blue, the sky is also blue, deep and light blue, white is in between, the boundaries between the two colors are blurred and formed separately, It looks wanton and lazy.

At first glance, you can only see a big fish jumping high between the sea and the sky, but you can't tell which is the sky and which is the sea.

Xie Cheng was stunned, and found that the painting was drawn on a white T-shirt, with the fish pattern on the back, but the chaos of the sea and sky spread all the way to the front of him.

Zhou Shuyu carried the clothes in front of him and turned them to him, looked at him without blinking, and asked, "Does it look good?"

Xie Cheng pursed his lips, and it took him a long time to say: "This is my gift?"

"Yes." Zhou said with burning eyes.

Xie Cheng: "It's nothing new."

Zhou Daoyu immediately frowned, and said displeasedly, "Hello!"

Xie Cheng took a step forward and faced him face to face: "But take a good look."

Zhou Daoyu smiled triumphantly, and took another one back: "Look at this."

On the back of the other piece is a tall orange tree, with orange-red oranges hidden in the verdant green.

Xie Cheng took it over and saw that the pattern of branches and leaves was still extending to the front of him, and the edge of the branches of the canopy could be seen from the front.

There is also an orange at the right corner of the clothes, which seems to have just fallen from the tree and then rolled away.

"This one is yours." Zhou Shuoyu handed him the blue patterned one, and replaced it with the orange tree one in his hand. "If there is a mark, look for it."

Xie Cheng looked back and forth for a long time, and finally saw three letters in the waves in the lower right corner, almost integrated with the scenery - "ZJY".

Zhou Daoyu proudly showed him the one in his hand: "Look, XC."
