rest of life

Gu Qingyun opened her wallet and saw that there were only two crumpled ten-dollar bills on the layer where the money was placed.

"..."

I've never seen one so poor.

She couldn't help but snorted, and she laughed poorly.He took out the credit card from the interlayer again, held it on his fingertips, and looked at the card surface, "I refuse to use my money, are you planning to pay with this?"

"Well, the credit card is interest-free for two months anyway..." Don't use it for nothing.

Tong Yao stared at her expression, not knowing what to say.It's true that I haven't reached the end of my life, even if she is willing to give it, it doesn't make sense to just take my girlfriend's money and spend it casually.

After flipping through her wallet, Gu Qingyun didn't say anything, and stuffed it back into her pocket sideways.

The right hand naturally took her left hand.

"Come on, little poor man."

Tong Yao: "..."

That's not enough, is it? ?

She wanted to refute herself a few words, thinking that her pockets were empty, and even if the small treasury was still there, it couldn't compare to Gu Qingyun...

I couldn't help snorting, "Don't look down on people, maybe one day I will become popular, and I will draw dozens of millions of paintings at random. At that time, I will drive a sports car and buy a luxury house, and I will take care of you!"

Gu Qingyun couldn't help laughing when he heard the last sentence, and scraped the soft flesh of her cheek with his fingers, "Okay, I'll wait."

—

"Now the decoration is over, and the furniture is almost ordered," Gu Qingyun looked at her with a hidden smile, and said casually, "It will take another half a year to open the windows to ventilate the formaldehyde, and then I can live in it."

Tong Yao didn't realize it and said "um".

"The house you live in now, when was the contract signed?"

"arrive……"

Tong Yao paused, frowned slightly, and looked at the expression on her face uncertainly.

I suspect that she guessed that her rent is almost due...

"It's only this year, what's the matter?" Tong Yao asked innocently.

"What month of this year? I'm afraid it will be unhealthy for you to move in in a hurry. Even if you buy good paint and glue for decoration, if there is no ventilation for a period of time, the formaldehyde will easily exceed the standard," Gu Qingyun finished speaking slowly, seemingly casually asking , "Is the contract you signed a one-year renewal?"

is a year.

The rent of that house starts from one year, and the lease is renewed every year.

"That's it," Tong Yao's eyes drifted to the side, and she said in a firm tone, "Yes, but I have a very good relationship with the landlady's grandma. How to say it, I can definitely talk about it. You don't have to worry about it."

Gu Qingyun mentioned before that he wanted Tong Yao to move into his house.

Tong Yao evaded and said, "I accept the bed."

Gu Qingyun: "Then you have to move in quickly."

Tong Yao: "Why?"

Gu Qingyun's tone was persuasive and persuasive: "...get familiar with it early."

Tong Yao said to think about it again, and later caught up with Gu Qingyun on a business trip, and did not talk about it again.

She thought the proposal was over.

Now she hints at...

"By the way, I asked for leave on Thursday and Friday." Tong Yao thought for a while, then changed the subject with a smile, "I have an event to present awards to me."

Tong Yao would not have joined in the excitement of the event held by her old club.

But seeing that this plan has made a lot of noise, high exposure, and "Tong Ke" is quite popular, and it doesn't need to show his face, so he can go around and increase his quotation for receiving commercial drafts in the future.

Tong Yao, who had an empty vault, took it without hesitation for two days.

I'm not busy recently, and the manager readily approved the leave.

"This week?" Gu Qingyun narrowed his eyes slightly.

Knowing that the little girl is hiding from herself, but she can't rush, Tong Yao's slow temper can only be coaxed over a little bit.Thinking of this, she smiled softly, "Okay, I see."

Tong Yao suddenly felt guilty, lowered her eyes, hooked her palm with her fingers, and said softly, "It's not that I don't want to..."

She's just living alone and hasn't gotten tired of it yet.

Moving in, I always feel that I will not get used to it.Moreover, it didn't take long for the two to determine their relationship.

Gu Qingyun hummed, "It's okay, take your time."

She immediately took her fingers.

—

Tong Yao just arrived in Lanshi, after reporting the itinerary to Gu Qingyun.

A rainstorm warning popped up in the weather forecast.

Tong Yao didn't care, and directly switched to her current location, which showed that the two days were sunny.

Wait until the car that picks her up drives back to the hotel.

Tong Yao suddenly remembered that the windows of the new house were deliberately left open for ventilation before she left.

She bought a pot of prickly pears and put them by the window sill.At that time, I only felt that the sun was shining in, and that scene could be called the tranquility of the years.

Now that I think about it, the slanting heavy rain probably killed her prickly pear, and then there were a few strong winds, the whole pot was overturned and smashed to the ground, and the floor had to be cleaned——

Thinking about it again, the things on my desk haven't been confiscated yet, isn't it all ruined? !

A collection of illustrations given to me by a friend.

She hadn't finished reading it before she left, so she spread it out there, and she was lazy and forgot to put it away.

Although you can buy a new one, it was specially sent to me by a friend, and there is a special signature on the title page.

Tong Yao regretted so much, she thought it was okay to be away from home for two days.

Hurry up and send a message to Gu Qingyun, let her see if she can close the window for herself if she is free.

The location of the illustration collection is not too close to the window sill, maybe it hasn't been exposed to the rain yet.

Fortunately, before leaving, I gave her the spare key of the house.

—

At the hotel, Tong Yao put down her luggage and went to a small meeting with the organizer. She was explained the specific procedures for receiving the award on stage tomorrow, and was taken to say hello to other painters.

Greetings to others, and then being greeted back with similar words.

The teacher "Tong Ke" heard it.

It's not that Tong Yao can't socialize, she has a standard smile, is polite and decent, and talks and laughs freely among a group of painters vaguely centered on her.Until it was about time, I said that I was used to calling it a meal delivery, and I rejected the evening meal.

Go back to the room.

The ears finally quieted down.

Tong Yao took out her mobile phone and saw that Gu Qingyun had sent her several messages.

Under the message that he asked her to help him go back and close the window:

Gu Qingyun: [Then you promise me one thing first]

Immediately after 5 minutes.

Gu Qingyun: [Hurry up]

Gu Qingyun: [Otherwise I won’t help you]

Another hour and a half later.

Gu Qingyun: [How do you cross the river and tear down the bridge? ]

Tong Yao looked at these few messages from her, and when she reached the last one, her slightly annoyed tone automatically appeared in her ears.The nerves that had been tense for a long time suddenly relaxed, and the corners of her lips were raised.

Give her a call.

Gu Qingyun quickly picked it up, "Yes."

"I went back to the room just now," Tong Yao quickly explained, "Just now I was taken to say hello to this person, and to say hello to that person...it's terribly annoying."

She smiled and said, "Sister, if I want to move into your house, how will the rent be calculated?"

Gu Qingyun couldn't help frowning: "What?"

Tong Yao muttered softly, "If you don't collect money, I won't move in..."

Gu Qingyun suddenly lowered his voice, and said very naturally, "The rent must be collected."

"Okay," Tong Yao couldn't help laughing again, "It's the same face, I see it at work and off work, what should I do if I get tired of seeing it."

Gu Qingyun's tone was soft, "No."

"Huh?" Tong Yao teased her fearlessly, "but I was talking to myself."

"..."

Gu Qingyun was silent for a few seconds, sneered, and then said softly, "Oh, then that's what I should worry about."

Tong Yao: "My wife, I was wrong."

As soon as she heard Gu Qingyun's voice, she couldn't help but raise her lips, smiled for a while, then couldn't help sighing and said:

"Okay, wait for me to come back... Saturday."

—

Tong Xiaojun was dragged by the unit leader to go to the front line to get interview materials.

He kept spinning, and postponed going to the house for dinner as agreed with his uncle, and only turned to come to the door after the hard work came to an end.The two relatives live in the same community, just in different buildings.

He just knocked on the door, and the door was opened immediately, and he was welcomed in, "What time is it, sit down quickly, the meal is almost cold."

"You don't get off work until this point, are you hungry?"

The dinner table.

The elders are always asking about their health, asking this and that.

Speaking of work.

Tong Xiaojun first complained about how oppressive his immediate superior was and how hard he usually was, then he changed the subject and said, "But I'm a local, so living at home is much easier than working colleagues from other places."

"Yeah, it's better to be at home."

"I have a colleague who rents a house by himself. It takes two hours to commute to work every day. What can I do? With that little salary every month, I can only choose places with low housing prices..."

"Boy and girl?"

"Where do you dare to live in a girl's house, and work overtime at night, something will happen on the way back..."

"That's true."

"Oh, didn't my sister graduate this year? In the job she was looking for, it seemed that the leaders in the company always bullied her and asked her to work overtime. She said that she didn't even give her a holiday this year for the Chinese New Year."

"..."

The dining table suddenly fell silent.

Tong Jianguo's slightly trembling chopsticks reached out to the sweet and sour potato shreds in front of him, picked up a few, and the shredded potatoes slipped from the tip of the chopsticks.But he didn't seem to notice, the empty chopsticks came to his mouth, and he chewed a few times dully as if he had actually eaten it.

Holding the job bowl, Tong Xiaojun continued to say in a normal tone, "It's really not easy for my sister to be outside alone. If there is a grievance, I can only endure it. After all, the salary is cut off, and the rent will not be paid next month..."

Romeo snorted coldly from his nose.

She picked up a chopstick of braised venetian knots, picked up the bowl and started to eat.

The three of them had nothing to say during this period.

The meal was finished quickly, Tong Xiaojun stood up and wanted to help clean up the dishes, but Luo Mei refused, and before he could say anything else, Tong Jianguo dragged him to the study to play chess.

"..."

When Tong Xiaojun came out of the study, he found that his aunt was still washing dishes in the kitchen.

There were only three of them, a few bowls and chopsticks, and my aunt, who was always nimble, hadn't come out of the kitchen after washing for more than half an hour.

The kitchen was dim, with only the sound of running water and the faint light from the living room.

She even forgot to turn on the light.

Tong Xiaojun sighed in his heart and didn't say hello again.

Looking back at the study room, which was also as quiet as if no one was there, he opened the door lightly and walked away.

There is an automatic deposit machine on the street at the entrance of the community.

Tong Xiaojun took out the envelope containing the thick pink money from his pocket, and put it all into the card, only to find out that there was actually 2 yuan in it.

It appears to have recovered all the cash in the house.

Tong Jianguo just played chess, talking openly and secretly for more than half an hour, making all kinds of insinuations.The purpose of giving him these things is to let him use his cousin's identity and name to help Tong Yao.

—

Tong Yao was packing her luggage in the room when she heard her cell phone ring.

Seeing that the money was in the account, I opened it casually, thinking that my manuscript fee had arrived.

A sum of 3 yuan.

She was taken aback.

Immediately, she saw a message from Tong Xiaojun: [You will come home to me for dinner tomorrow, Saturday, do you hear that? ]
