Mr Dolphin

After Wang Shuli came back, he went to the store for a while. Everything was normal. After thinking about it, he decided to go to his old lady's place, and advised her to go on a trip with her old friends for a vacation, and not to worry about his life affairs for the time being.

"Mom, I'm back. I brought you special products from the neighboring city." Wang Shuli smelled his mother's cooking as soon as he entered the door, and it was a delicious meal.She is still a real mother, knowing that her son is not used to eating outside.

Wang Qin came out of the kitchen and glanced at his son, "Come back when you come back, bring me something, don't you think it's too much money! Oh, what you brought is the same as what you bought on a small shelf, what a waste!" Wang Shu Before Li had time to ask questions, his mother said as she went back to the kitchen, "Xiaojiao is going back here to develop, and I don't want to live in an old house. I'm looking for a house to rent recently. Let's live in our house for a few days first."

"Who! Why! Why! No, he doesn't live next door. Why do you want to live in someone else's house! He lives here and I live! Is the meal cooked for him too! Who is your real son!" Wang Shu Li's mind went blank, and he felt that he could not understand the world at all.

"What nonsense! I took the initiative to stay in a small shelf, so hurry up and get the food out. He went downstairs to buy a drink, and he will come up immediately."

Wang Shuli felt that either his mother was crazy or he was crazy.If Zhou Jia came back to develop, it had nothing to do with their family. If he had the ability, let the city leaders receive him, eat western food and stay in a hotel.Besides, can't we live in the old house next door after tidying up, so the big man insists on crowding into other people's house!What's more, she gave some dolphin glass for no apparent reason, the old lady didn't even know what she was doing, did she lure wolves into the house?

There was a knock on the door, which startled Wang Shuli again.What should he do, obediently go to open the door, or pretend not to hear, or simply jump out of the window and leave.Calm down, this is my home, this is my home, isn't it just a guest, or an old neighbor, please warmly welcome, yes, there is nothing to be afraid of.

After the door opened, what Zhou Jia saw was Wang Shuli with anger in his eyes, a smile on his mouth, and his body was extremely resistant, and he welcomed him into the door with an extremely strange aura, and yelled at the kitchen: "Aunt Wang! Your little brat is back!" Wang Shuli didn't vent his anger at all after roaring, on the contrary, his petty bragging made him sick to the core.Just like when Qin Shou called him Xiao Lizi for the first time, it disgusted people.What monsters and ghosts are around!

"It just so happens that the rice is ready, let's all sit down and eat. I don't know if it suits your appetite, so don't hesitate to eat it. Son, go get the rice!"

"I..." Wang Shuli was about to sit down, when he heard his old lady's words, he gave Zhou Jia a hard look.

"Auntie, sit down, I'll serve it."

"Sit down, I'll serve it!" Wang Shuli left the words and ran into the kitchen, filled a big bowl of rice bitterly, hesitating whether to add some salt or white pepper to the rice.But hearing those two people talking about something, my mother burst into laughter.Forget it, show mercy today and spare your dog's life, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

The three of them gathered around the table and began to eat, talking and laughing during the dinner, as if they were a family, even though Wang Shuli ate in silence.

"By the way, Shuli, why do you go to mom so often this time? You used to come here twice a month. Could it be that you are unhappy outside alone?" My mother finally remembered that her son was also sitting beside her. , asked with concern.

"I'm going to let you go out..." Wang Shuli almost bit off his tongue before swallowing the words that came to his lips. If the original plan was to let the old lady go on a trip to relax, then there would only be him and Zhou in this family. Fighting two people is scarier than going on a blind date.

"what?"

"It's nothing, mom, the rice you cooked is delicious, I'll have another bowl." After saying that, Wang Shuli slipped into the kitchen to serve the meal.

"That's good, kid. Take a shower and go to sleep after you have nothing to do. The bed in Shuli's room is not small, and you two won't be crowded when you sleep together." Wang Qin heard something clanging in the kitchen after she finished speaking to Zhou Jia. One ring.Before he had time to ask what happened, Wang Shuli fluttered out and said, "I have a backache for the past few days, and the bed is too soft to sleep comfortably. I sleep on the sofa."

"But our sofa is softer than the bed."

"I just like sleeping on the sofa!"

"Okay, you sleep and you sleep, you are really annoying, take your own quilt and pillow to the sofa after eating. You sleep on the small shelf, and Auntie will lay new sheets and quilts for you later."

Who is the annoying spirit!Mom, do you know what you are doing!Wang Shuli couldn't relieve the grief and indignation in his heart, he went to move the quilt out after eating angrily.Wang Qin went to her room to rest after tidying up, leaving two sleepless people sitting on the sofa facing the TV.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Wang Shuli looked at Zhou Jia with a relaxed expression, without the slightest sense of being under the eaves.

"Return home, get married and start a business." Zhou Jia looked at Wang Shuli with dark eyes.

"Then I have to wrong you to stay in the humble house." Wang Shuli gritted his teeth.

"It's okay. Deputy Mayor Huang gave me the wind to book a hotel, but it's more comfortable to live here."

"You..." Wang Shuli was dumbfounded, half-doubted, with mixed feelings, at this moment he couldn't ask what he wanted to ask, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

Seeing his constipated appearance, Zhou Jia smiled, rubbed his head comfortingly, got up and walked to the room.

"Good night, little chestnut."

"Hey, don't touch my things!" Wang Shuli had already closed the door when Wang Shuli realized it, leaving him alone on the empty sofa, puzzled.

He didn't understand what had happened to Zhou Jia in these years, and he didn't understand when Zhou Jia had plans for him, and he didn't understand what he wanted to do in his own house when he came back this time.He knew why he was so puzzled, because he had never paid attention to and thought about this old neighbor seriously.

It is said that they are old neighbors, but they have not really been together for a few years.After Zhou Jia's parents divorced, Zhou's mother moved here with her son. When the two families gradually became familiar with each other, it was also when Zhou's mother's health deteriorated.Zhou's mother spent the last period of time at her natal family in a neighboring city. She originally thought that the house here would be vacant or sold immediately after her death.Unexpectedly, Zhou Jia came back here alone to complete high school, and he didn't know what reason he used to convince Zhou's mother's relatives.Although Wang Shuli and him studied in the same high school or even the same class, the relationship has always been maintained as ordinary classmates, at least Wang Shuli thinks so.At that time, his grades were mediocre and he didn't like to go to class. He didn't like Zhou Jia, who was always at the top.He has sympathy for his life experience, but Zhou Jia's strength makes Wang Shuli feel ashamed of his sympathy.All kinds of complicated moods in youth, except that there is no idea of ​​wanting to be close.After the college entrance examination, Wang Shuli's father died suddenly of a heart attack. When filling out the volunteers, his mother packed up his mood and asked Zhou Jia to take Wang Shuli, who had been staying at home and depressed, to fill out the volunteers.Zhou Jia pulled him out and persuaded him to think about it for his mother, and fill in the application first to make her feel at ease.Wang Shuli was not in the mood, and had no idea about his future study and life. He followed Zhou Jia's words and filled in a local university close to his home.At that time, he forgot to ask Zhou Jia which school he applied for, but his grades are so good, and there is no one else in the family, so he is bound to spread his wings and fly high.After Wang Shuli received the admission notice, Wang Qin was happy for a while.Go to the next door and call Zhou Jia over to have a meal together. Wang Qin asked about Zhou Jia's situation. Zhou Jia said at that time that he was going to the capital to study and had a scholarship. In a few days, his uncle in the neighboring city was going to move the necessary things. In the past, I won’t come back here after vacation.Wang Shuli was eating dryly, feeling a little lost in his heart, but isn't this inevitable.And I admire Zhou Jia a little bit, how did he survive alone back then.Treat yourself as your own home, live and learn by yourself.Zhou Jia also intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that if you have any difficulties, you can find him, but Wang Shuli only took him as a polite word.Although everyone is not short of money for studying, no one is much better than the other.

Later, Wang Shuli also received several phone calls from Zhou Jia, basically asking about the situation at home and encouraging him a little.College life slowly brought Wang Shuli back to life, and with the enthusiastic counselor He He, Wang Shuli himself didn't realize that he hadn't contacted Zhou Jia for a long time.He also thought about taking the initiative to contact, but the long distance and circle, and even a trace of inferiority made him give up this idea altogether.Wang Shuli never received any calls from Zhou Jia after graduating from work to start his own business, and there was little news about him among his classmates.Sometimes when Wang Qin asked about him, Wang Shuli was a little bored.

Now when they meet again, Wang Shuli is always embarrassed.After so many years, he has no idea how to treat this person.To be grateful, Wang Qin has taken care of him a lot.Speaking of strangers, the two used to meet almost every day.Until now, this long-lost relative has turned into embarrassment and sarcasm in Wang Shuli's heart.Since then, he neither understands Zhou Jia nor himself.

After wandering around and thinking so much, Wang Shuli also fell asleep peacefully.When I woke up the next day, my mother was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, and my father was drying clothes on the balcony.The sun shines in through that person, seemingly unreal.Oh no, it's not dad, it's Zhou Jia, ah!

"Shuli, what time is it? Hurry up and have breakfast. Look at the little shelf. You get up earlier than me. Both of you have washed and dried your clothes!"

"Okay, okay, your small shelf is the best. I'll go to the store after eating, and I won't come back after being busy for a few days." Wang Shuli got up and shook his head, it's better to leave this place of right and wrong.

"What stupid things are you talking about? How can you leave Xiaojiao at home alone!"

"Aren't you at home too?"

"Oh! I was so happy that I forgot to tell you yesterday. In the past few days, our community organizes a tour for middle-aged and elderly people, and I have signed up. It starts at noon. You should take care of your little shelf these few days."

"Why didn't you say such a big thing sooner!" Wang Shuli couldn't believe it, and this old community still organized a tour!It's such a coincidence, it's not organized these days!Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at Zhou Jia.

"Tell me! Did you mess it up!" Wang Shuli ran to the balcony and lowered his voice to question the person viciously.

"What do you think?" Zhou Jia finished speaking and clamped his cartoon underwear on the underwear rack in front of Wang Shuli.

Wang Shuli, who originally thought that this person should not have such great ability and leisure, saw this situation, and almost blurted out "playing a hooligan!"It's really easy to ask God to give it away, not to mention that this statue was delivered to the door by oneself.

Before the old lady left, Zhou Jia thoughtfully reminded her of travel items, warned about safety issues, and personally sent people to the car. Wang Shuli began to reflect on whether he was a little unfilial in his eyes.

"If it's okay, I'll go to the store first, and I'll be back late at night. If you... have any problems, you can solve them yourself." Wang Shuli said reluctantly and was about to leave.

"Exchange the phone number first." Zhou Jia said unhurriedly.

Wang Shuli reluctantly exchanged numbers again, "Can we go?"

"Go."

Of course Wang Shuli didn't go home, the coffee shop was really busy recently, and he really didn't want to go home and face Zhou Jia alone.In front of Zhou Jia, even if he didn't want to, Wang Shuli had to admit that he was like a child.Ever since Zhou Jia came back to finish his studies alone, he couldn't treat this quiet and stubborn person as his peers.When we meet now, treat it as an ordinary reunion, if you can't figure it out, just take a step back and wait for the calm.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Shuli received a call from Zhou Jia.

"Hey?"

"You didn't come back last night." It was not a question, but an affirmative sentence.

Wang Shuli's heart skipped a beat, wondering if Zhou Jia was a little angry.

"Uh, well, the shop is too busy."

"Really? Are you coming back today?"

"Today is also very busy." Wang Shuli really didn't know what to say, he felt like an unfaithful man, and his family waited for him not to come back, and even made up excuses to evade.

"Really? The power and water are cut off at home. I don't know where the gate is. You'd better come back and deal with it."

After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Wang Shuli looked at the phone, and then looked out the window, feeling that today is a bit like a year.

In the afternoon, Wang Shuli went home before it was dark, and checked the water and electricity valves downstairs. There was no problem, and they were even functioning normally.I don't know if Zhou Jia was fooling him, or if he has already dealt with it himself.

It was only when Wang Shuli entered the door that he was sure that the high-end fragrance smelled in the corridor really came from his own kitchen.And Mr. Zhou was sitting leaning on the sofa flipping through a book, and when he took a second look, it turned out to be the same-sex study that Wang Shuli had bought before.

"It's really timely to come back. The steak is almost done. Wash your hands and prepare to eat."

Wang Shuli didn't want to talk to him at all, he rushed to grab the book and went into his room, slamming the door loudly.There is no clutter in the room, and the frame has not been touched after the old lady cleaned it up.But he could find the book.In the book, Wang Shuli once struggled with suspicion and fear until he slowly accepted all the tears and secrets he concealed from his family, but was watched naked by an outsider in his own home.Wang Shuli couldn't even get angry anymore, he just felt that the shock at the beginning was intertwined with the helplessness now, and he couldn't release it.There were two knocks on the door.

"Sorry, little chestnut."

Wang Shuli sat on the ground, sighed, and didn't want to speak.

"Don't sit on the ground, it's cold on the ground. It's my fault. You come out to eat first, and I'll leave tomorrow."

What the hell, how could he know that he was sitting on the ground through the door.Going tomorrow, very good.

Wang Shuli thought for a while and opened the door, but saw Zhou Jia sitting on the ground outside the door.Seeing him come out, he got up to serve the steak on the table, and also poured the red wine he bought from somewhere, and signaled Wang Shuli to sit down with his eyes.Wang Shuli walked over, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a candlelight dinner after a small quarrel.

Silent dinner, only the sound of cutting knives and forks.Wang Shuli didn't even bother to wonder if Zhou Jia would carry these knives and forks and red wine to pretend to be a gentleman wherever he went.

"In fact, the water and electricity were cut off today. There were problems in engineering and management, and they were all resolved. The sewers in the kitchen and bathroom were also completely dredged, and the lights on the balcony were also replaced. The refrigerator had a power outage, and it was troublesome to repair. , I bought a new one for you to use first, and put the old one on the balcony. And..."

"Wait, wait!" Wang Shuli didn't even have time to chew a mouthful of meat, and was about to be stunned by the continuous reports.

"No. And your bed is a bit tilted. I only found that book when I adjusted it. Actually, I have also experienced what you have experienced. There is no need to feel uncomfortable in front of me. Okay, the last words are finished, eat Let's go. I'll leave after eating." Zhou Jia said so many words in one breath, he was really tired, sighed, took a sip of wine, and continued to eat meat.

Holding the knife and fork, Wang Shuli silently looked at the person across from him for a while, with mixed feelings in his heart.In the end, I still couldn't control my mouth.

"Did you come back for me?" Wang Shuli didn't hesitate to ask, but even he was a little confused when he asked, which time did he come back?That time when he came back to school alone with no relatives, or this so-called homecoming?

The person on the other side paused for a moment, but didn't respond right away.He just took the last bite, wiped his mouth, stood up and looked down at the person who asked the question.

"I don't deny it." Zhou Jia finished drinking the last bit of wine in the glass.He also said, "Take good care of yourself." He picked up his coat and made a gesture to leave.

"Hey, don't be impulsive! I, I, I... I'm still sleeping on the sofa, um, you, I'll wash the dishes first." Wang Shuli stuttered and tidied up the tableware before rushing to the kitchen.
