Fall in a second

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed, and tomorrow is the final exam. Today's Lu Ming has been reviewing until late at night, and he will not put down the book until before going to bed. Make sure that all the important knowledge points have been kept in his mind. After putting down the book, he lay down on the bed After coming down, I picked up my phone and checked the time. It was already 23:46. Lu Ming sent a circle of friends with the content [Come on for the exam tomorrow! 】.

Just about to put down the phone, she couldn't help but keep it in her hand, so she lay on her side and involuntarily opened the phone's photo album, flipping through the photos in it, one of which was specially set up by her, all the photos about Aunt Ji are here , Luming read and appreciated one by one, and at the same time brought back many memories of the past few months.

As if it could bring her strength, Lu Ming is more confident about tomorrow's exam.

Putting down the phone at zero o'clock and going to sleep, Lu Ming tried to empty his mind and try not to put too much pressure on himself, so that he can rest well and have better energy to face the exam tomorrow.

Lu Ming woke up early the next morning, and found that she had received several messages on her mobile phone, all of which were cheers and encouragements from everyone.

Xia Yi: Come on for the exam.

Xie Xuan: Sister, come on.

Meng Xiaofei: Take the exam well, come on.

Yan Chu: Ah Ming, try hard on the exam and get good grades.

Ji Youqing: Come on for the exam.

……

This battle is even bigger than Lu Ming's college entrance examination, so I replied to everyone one by one, thank you, and then I will reply to Aunt Ji's message separately.

Lu Ming: I will work hard to take the exam well, Aunt Ji, you must remember to eat breakfast.

After replying to all the messages, Lu Ming started to get up and get ready, while Ye Shengru on the other side of the bed was still sleeping soundly. If Lu Ming remembered correctly, when she was getting ready to sleep last night, she seemed to vaguely see the light on the opposite bed. Stayed up all night chasing drama.

In order to prevent her from being late for the exam, Lu Ming also hurriedly woke her up, and rushed to the bathroom immediately after urging her, so that this person who was angry about getting up had nowhere to vent his anger.

Lu Ming left for the examination room, and Yan Chu just woke up to pack up and get ready for work. Today is her morning shift.

Quickly washed and dressed, came out of the staff dormitory and went downstairs, bought three or two buns at the bun shop at the gate of the community as usual, ate them while walking, and had already finished breakfast in a hurry when I arrived at the shop, took out the key from the bag Open the store door, put up the "open" sign, and then start to turn on all the machines, turn on the air conditioner, Yan Chu does these things with ease, as if he has been working for a long time.

Generally, the daily sanitation in the store is handed over to the night shift staff, but Yan Chu is also used to mopping the floor when she is on the morning shift, because it is usually not very busy in the morning, and there are not many people who come to drink coffee. Not many, and occasionally a few people who stay up late to work in nearby office buildings come to buy a cup of coffee and take it away in a hurry.

Every time Yan Chu meets these brothers and sisters, she actually admires them. Sitting in such an office building and working, she must feel very different. It is a pity that she did not study hard and was not admitted to university. Otherwise, she would have the opportunity to sit in those office buildings in the future. Work in the building.

Not long after going to work alone, the store manager Li Huiqing came in, Yan Chu was a little surprised: "Store manager, aren't you on the evening shift today?"

"Oh, I'm going out to do some errands in the morning, so I'll come over to take a look when I pass by the store." Li Huiqing looked around after speaking, and couldn't help laughing, "Let's clean up again in the morning."

"It's a matter of convenience." Yan Chu smiled embarrassedly.

"You are much more diligent than the old employees in our store." Li Huiqing paused and said, "By the way, the work schedule from years ago is out. Look at it. I just printed it out last night. .”

Yan Chu reached out to take it. 2.11 is New Year's Eve, and the store's work schedule is normally up to 2.1, which is the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. There are [-] days off in total, and they come back to work on the sixth day.

"No problem."

Yan Chu shook his head: "No." Then he asked: "What does the overtime after 2.1 mean?"

"It's like this. Every year we leave one person in our store to work overtime. It's voluntary. The salary is tripled. This time is until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, which is one week longer than the normal time. What's the matter, are you interested? Is it?" Li Huiqing asked doubtfully.

Yan Chu couldn't help but began to calculate how much the triple salary was, that is to say, for that extra week, he could get more than 600 yuan, which is a lot of money.

"Can I apply to stay and work overtime?" Yan Chu asked without hesitation.

"Okay, then I'll register for you, but in this case, you will go home later, and your vacation will be shortened by seven days. I remember that your family lives quite far away."

"It's okay, store manager, I'm willing to work overtime." Yan Chu affirmed again.

She came to S City to earn money. If she worked an extra week, she could earn an extra 4000 yuan. Why not do it? This is almost half a year's harvest of their family's farming.

"Okay, you can make up your own mind, I'll go first, see you in the afternoon."

"See the store manager in the afternoon." Yan Chu waved his hand. After seeing the store manager off, he turned and went back to the store. He quickly took out his mobile phone to grab the ticket to go home. The 28th of the twelfth lunar month is the ticket for February [-]th. Unfortunately, the ordinary train It had already been sold out, Yan Chu acted a bit late, it was also her first time traveling far, she had no experience, so she didn't know that the tickets for the Chinese New Year were so popular, almost all tickets were sold out within a month.

Seeing that there are three or two standing tickets left, more than 20 hours, Yan Chu hesitated a little, so he hesitated for a while, the standing tickets are standing tickets, as long as she can go home, when she is ready to buy, refresh one Look, it's gone, and the last standing tickets have also been snatched up.

Yan Chu's heart skipped a beat, so she couldn't go back, so she hurriedly opened the other tickets, only the high-speed rail ticket was left, but the high-speed rail was several times the price of ordinary trains, and if it was refreshed in the blink of an eye, even the high-speed rail There are not many tickets left. In order to go back to celebrate the New Year, Yan Chu gritted her teeth and bought them. Her heart bleeds when she paid the money. Fortunately, she decided to stay and work overtime, and she could earn thousands more. Otherwise, it would be a waste of money to pay. pain.

Just after buying the ticket, Yan Chu received a text message about the high-speed rail ticket, and Aunt Meng's WeChat message popped up in the next second.

Meng Xiaofei: What time do you leave work today?

Yan Chu: Get off work at six o'clock.

Meng Xiaofei: Come over for dinner after get off work. Lu Ming is going home the day after tomorrow. Let her have a dinner together. I'll invite a few friends. Can you be in charge of the cooking?

Yan Chu: Of course no problem.

Meng Xiaofei: Okay, then send me a message after you get off work, and I will prepare.

After a day's exam, Lu Ming didn't really feel much. Maybe it was because she had made sufficient preparations before the exam, and she didn't fall behind in the usual course knowledge points. These test questions were hardly difficult for her. She handed in the papers in advance, which she thought was too easy.

For the final exam this time, Lu Ming almost took out the mentality of dealing with the college entrance examination, and the test questions were much easier than she imagined, but why the students in the class were wailing what to do if they failed the exam after the exam? If the goal can pass the [-]th pass line, thank God.

As for the reason, Ye Shengru also told her.

"How can those of us take college exams so seriously? You are the only one who brought the state of hard work in high school to college."

But Lu Ming doesn't understand, isn't this what it should be? She has worked so hard to get into this university, so she can't indulge herself every day after being admitted. She can't understand other people's mentality, and like other people Can't understand her either.

On the way out of the examination room, Ye Shengru and Lu Ming walked side by side, and couldn't help but said: "Lu Ming, you are so good, you performed so well in this exam, the No.1 in the class must be you this time."

Lu Ming smiled and said, "My goal is not to be No.1 in the class, but to get a scholarship for my grade."

"If you have ambition, I will support you." Ye Shengru gave her a thumbs up.

The two walked back to the tree-lined avenue downstairs of the dormitory. Ye Shengru saw the woman waiting downstairs at a glance. Isn't this... She was about to turn her head to look at Lu Ming when she saw Lu Ming It has been launched like an arrow, and Kung Fu is no longer beside him in the blink of an eye.

"Why are you here?" Lu Ming came back from the exam and was surprised and delighted to see Aunt Ji coming.

"Take you to dinner." Ji Youqing said.

"Going to eat?" Lu Ming was puzzled.

"Get in the car first, let's talk in the car." After Ji Youqing finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the parked car. Lu Ming was about to follow, and Ye Shengru also ran over.

"Are you going?"

Lu Ming nodded: "I'm going to eat."

"Okay." Ye Shengru pouted, "Then I'll go up first."

Waving her hand, Lu Ming got into Aunt Ji's car and fastened her seat belt, while Ji Youqing said, "Xiaofei said you're going home the day after tomorrow, and I want all of us to go to her place for dinner."

"Okay, no problem." Lu Ming readily agreed.

"Ah, then do I want to buy something to take there, I can't be empty..." Lu Ming clapped his hands suddenly, before he finished speaking, Ji Youqing pointed to the back seat to signal.

"I've already prepared the gift."

Lu Ming turned her head away in embarrassment and shyness, and raised her hand unnaturally to scratch her ear.

"Is Ah Chu going?" Lu Ming asked curiously when the car drove out of the school.

"Everyone go." Ji Youqing replied calmly.

After hearing this, Lu Ming hurriedly took out her mobile phone to ask Ah Chu when she was going, and if she wanted to go with them, so as to avoid the trouble of taking a car by herself, but inadvertently raised her eyes and found that Aunt Ji was driving in the direction of the coffee shop Walk instead of going in the direction of Aunt Meng's house.

When she realized it, the car had already stopped in front of the coffee shop, and the time just jumped to six o'clock, Yan Chu packed up her things and came out, waving vigorously to them in the car.

Regarding Lu Ming's surprise, Ji Youqing said: "Xiaofei asked me to take her there."

Lu Ming was overjoyed and waved to Yan Chu who was outside the car, telling her to come up quickly.

"Hello, Aunt Ji." Yan Chu was very respectful and polite, and he opened the door of the back seat to get up after nodding his head in greeting.

When facing Lu Ming, Yan Chu returned to a lively state, "Ah Ming, how was your exam today?"

"It should be pretty good, those questions are quite simple for me." Lu Ming answered easily.

And Ji Youqing, who was driving on the side, also listened to it, and couldn't help pursing his lips slightly, feeling very relieved.

Chatting all the way like this, the car drove to the gate of the community, and when he was about to enter, Yan Chu suddenly thought of something.

"Well, sorry, can you drop me off here?"

Lu Ming turned around and asked, "Why, is there something else, Ah Chu."

"Aunt Meng said that I will be the cook at night, so I have to go shopping."

After hearing this, Ji Youqing hurriedly said, "I've bought vegetables with her in the afternoon."

"Oh." Yan Chu sat down again in embarrassment.

The car was parked in the parking space in front of the unit building, and the three of them got out of the car together. Ji Youqing was about to pick up something, but Lu Ming quickly took a step ahead, and said sweetly, "Let me do it."

Yan Chu stood aside, couldn't help pursing his lips, feeling like he was a light bulb.

Just as he was about to go upstairs, another car came and stopped. Lu Ming recognized that it was Miss Xia Yi's car, followed by Xie Xuan, who actually rode a motorcycle and wore a black helmet , extremely cool.

"Damn, Xie Xuan, you bought a car." Xia Yi said in surprise, she didn't see him riding this morning.

Xie Xuan pretended to be cool, took off his helmet and said handsomely: "How about it, [-], handsome, I just went to pick it up after get off work."

"No wonder I said why there is a motorcycle behind my car that keeps chasing me away, so it's you." Xia Yi clicked her tongue.

"Okay, since everyone is here, let's go up." Ji Youqing turned around and entered the corridor after speaking.

Xia Yi jumped in front of Lu Ming with big strides, and joked with a smirk: "Congratulations, you finally got a beauty back."

Lu Ming smiled embarrassedly.

At this time, Xie Xuan was also booing behind him: "When will you have a wedding wine!" But at this time, his voice was so loud that everyone in the corridor could hear it, and Ji Youqing, who was walking on the front stairs, could naturally hear it too.

"It's... still early." Lu Ming ran up the stairs shyly after finishing speaking.

Xia Yi turned her head to Xie Xuan quite speechlessly: "Like a second fool."

Just like this, a group of five people went upstairs in a mighty manner. When they passed the fifth floor on the way, the old lady who was standing at the door watching the excitement shook her head helplessly, and she was still muttering: "You young people are really brave! ,brave."

"What does the old lady mean?" Xie Xuan asked incomprehensibly.

Xia Yi looked at him and ignored him: "It's okay."

Xie Xuan had no choice but to turn around and ask Yan Chu, who was walking at the end, that she was the most honest, so she should be able to talk to him.

"Hey little girl, you know what?"

"I don't know either." After Yan Chu finished speaking, he ran up quickly, passing him to the front.

Xie Xuan couldn't help but stop talking, why everyone seems to know, but he alone doesn't know, driven by curiosity, he couldn't help but take a few steps back to the old woman and asked: "Grandma, what did you just say?" ?”

"That house cannot be lived in."

"Why can't I live?"

"The last tenant hanged himself inside a few months ago."

Xie Xuan covered his mouth in fright, and panicked in his heart, if he had known... he wouldn't have asked, if he didn't know, it would be fine.

"Hey, thank you idiot, you can't come up." Xia Yi shouted from the railing on the sixth floor.

"Here we come." Xie Xuan swallowed, his back hairy.

"What are you doing down there?" Xia Yi curiously asked Xie Xuan who had just come up.

Xie Xuan's face turned pale for a while, and his reaction was slow, "Ah, no, it's nothing."

"You guys are here, come in quickly, what are you doing outside." Meng Xiaofei stood at the door and greeted them.

Yan Chu, who had just gone in first, went to the kitchen silently to start preparing today's dinner. Lu Ming said hello after putting away the things and went to the kitchen to help together. It would be faster for two people to do it.

"Hey, I didn't see Lu Ming and the others." Xia Yi came in and asked.

"Their two children have gone to the kitchen to prepare today's dinner." Meng Xiaofei smiled.

"Wow, none of us can compare to the younger generation." Xia Yi said.

Xie Xuan was a little uneasy from the moment he entered the door, his eyes were rolling around, his whole body was tense, and he was not at all comfortable.

Xia Yi called Meng Xiaofei aside alone, and apologized to her.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't do well what you told me."

Meng Xiaofei realized later that she was talking about the house, "Hey, I thought it was a big deal, I've lived here for half a month, nothing happened, the house is fine, no problem, Good location and cheap price.”

"Sister, it's good that you don't blame me. In fact, after hearing about those things, I feel very sorry."

"It's fine, it's fine, I don't care at all, just go and sit down." Meng Xiaofei turned around and found that Xie Xuan was still there in a daze, not knowing what he was looking at, so he hurriedly called out: "Xie Xuan, what are you doing."

"Ah, Miss Xiaofei."

"What's the matter with you, you're restless."

"No, no." Xie Xuan wiped off his cold sweat.

In the kitchen, it is now the world of two girls. Lu Ming and Yan Chu agreed on the dishes to be cooked, and then they divided the labor and cooperated with each other.

"Ah Ming, my working hours for years ago have been fixed." Yan Chu said suddenly while cooking soup.

Lu Ming raised her head curiously and asked, "Ah Chu, when will you go home?"

"The 28th of the twelfth lunar month." Yan Chu raised his head.

"Ah? Then the Chinese New Year is only two days away, why is it so late?" Lu Ming didn't understand.

Yan Chu hurriedly smiled and explained: "In order to earn more money, if I stayed in the store to work overtime in the last week of the year, it would be three times the usual salary. I want to make more money before going back. A lot of money."

"But..." Lu Ming hesitated to speak, not knowing what to say.

"It's okay, don't worry about me, I've already bought the ticket to go back." Yan Chu lowered his head and smiled, continuing to cook.

In the living room, in order to make up for her apology, Xia Yi went to buy a lot of mother and baby products for Meng Xiaofei this time, all of which were high-tech products. Even Xie Xuan ridiculed her for doing something wrong, guilty, and spent a lot of money.

Ji Youqing was a little bored, so he simply went to the kitchen to have a look after sitting down.

"Do you need my help?"

Aunt Ji's voice suddenly appeared at the kitchen door, and Lu Ming was startled.

"No, it's fine if we come, Aunt Ji, go sit and rest."

"Are you sure you don't need it?" Ji Youqing asked again.

"It's really unnecessary." Lu Ming waved his hand.

"Okay, you two should pay more attention to safety in the kitchen." Ji Youqing explained.

"We'll pay attention."

"I will pay attention." Yan Chu also echoed.

After Ji Youqing left, Yan Chu made fun of her, and Lu Ming puffed up her chest and said proudly: "Aunt Ji is concerned about me, what's so funny, don't laugh."

"How are their two children?"

Seeing Ji Yuqing come back, Meng Xiaofei asked curiously.

"It looks pretty good. I have prepared a lot of dishes, and I don't need my help." Ji Youqing said a little embarrassed.

"Oh, let them both be busy. We won't be able to help and it's easy to cause trouble. You just sit and rest. Come, sit here." Meng Xiaofei patted the seat beside her .

"Sister Xiaofei, I came to see you this time, your belly looks a lot bigger." Xia Yi said.

"Yes, Miss Xiaofei, it's quite round." Xie Xuan continued.

"It's all due to the divorce." Meng Xiaofei teased himself.

Half an hour later, it was time for dinner, and everyone helped to serve the dishes. Lu Ming and Yan Chu jointly cooked more than a dozen dishes, including both big and small dishes. A very unique feeling.

"Everyone is driving, so I won't serve drinks, I'll replace the bar with fruit juice." Meng Xiaofei was about to come over with the juice, when Yan Chu saw this and hurried forward to catch her, for fear that she would get out of the way.

"Let me come, Aunt Meng."

"Okay, you can take it."

After everyone sat down, the six of them toasted together, and Meng Xiaofei said that it meant getting together to have a New Year's Eve dinner in advance.

Xie Xuan laughed and joked: "This year passes quite early hahaha."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with Xia Yi's ruthless contempt. When Xie Xuan looked up again, he seemed to accidentally see the lampshade above the living room shaking, and his whole body tensed up instantly, his scalp went numb, and he didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore.

"Hey, by the way, Yan Chu, have you bought the ticket to go home?" Meng Xiaofei asked suddenly.

"I bought it." Yan Chu felt guilty.

"When did you go home?" Xia Yi also asked.

"2.9."

"Ah, it's so late?"

"It's the 28th of the twelfth lunar month."

"How come it's so late." Even Ji Youqing, the boss himself, was a little confused.

"I chose to stay in the store and work overtime. I want to earn more money." After Yan Chu finished speaking, he buried his head in the meal in embarrassment.

Meng Xiaofei didn't ask any further questions, she just felt that if she went back to such a far place without someone to accompany her, she would be very lonely along the way, and a girl wasn't too safe, but this was Yan Chu's own choice, and she had no right to interfere .

"Hey, Xia Yi, do you have any plans for Chinese New Year this year?" Meng Xiaofei asked again.

"Me, I plan to take my annual leave and go to Europe in a few days." Xia Yi smiled.

"Wow, so cool, go to Europe." Xie Xuan was a little surprised.

"And you, Xie Xuan."

"Me." Xie Xuan touched the back of his head, "I asked a girl to go to Yunnan together..."

Meng Xiaofei understood in an instant, and said with a smile: "You guys, all of you are very nourished during the Chinese New Year, and Lao Ji and I are left alone in S City to keep warm."

After hearing this, Xia Yi joked: "Miss Xiaofei, you can also go on a trip with Miss Youqing. It's not popular to sit at home to celebrate the New Year now. A group of friends I know like to celebrate the New Year while traveling. It has a special flavor."

Meng Xiaofei waved his hand without hesitation: "This is a bit unrealistic. For a pregnant woman like me, I will be five months pregnant next month. It is inconvenient to go out to play with a big belly. Besides, my husband and I Ji and Ji go out, whoever takes care of the two of us."

When Ji Youqing heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied, and deliberately pretended to be serious and said, "I can take care of you."

Meng Xiaofei waved his hand, "I don't want it, someone will feel bad."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at Lu Ming who was eating silently, Lu Ming blushed immediately and almost choked.

"Lu Ming, after you go home right away, you will be separated from Sister Youqing for such a long time, won't you miss her?" Xia Yi asked maliciously, and the other people at the table seemed to be watching the fun without taking it too seriously. look.

Lu Ming froze there, pursed her lips and lowered her head and said, "I want to, of course I would." As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Lu Ming's face turned red.

At the same time, Ji Youqing at the same table suddenly felt his face burn, and pretended to concentrate on drinking soup without saying a word.

Lu Ming first took a peek at Aunt Ji who was sitting opposite, and said, "Actually, if Aunt Ji is willing, she can go back with me to celebrate the New Year. My family will definitely welcome it."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone started booing again.

"Yo Yo Yo, this is the rhythm of going to meet the parents."

"Sister, you will go."

"Lu Ming has already said this, sister, you will not go."

"..."

Ji Youqing's face was a little red, and she was a little embarrassed. She raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ear, and then said, "Of course I won't go. I still have a lot of things to do in S City."

Although I know that this may be the result, Lu Ming actually really wants Aunt Ji to go home with her. After all, Aunt Ji is the only one left this year. That kind of feeling must be uncomfortable, and If Lu Ming goes back together, Lu Ming can still take care of her, and he can also show Aunt Ji what the place where she lived since childhood was like.

"Hey, old Ji, are you saying you won't go, but secretly you've already bought a ticket?" Meng Xiaofei deliberately teased.

"How could it be?" Ji Youqing smiled.

"Girl, try again." Meng Xiaofei reminded Lu Ming in a low voice.

Encouraged, Lu Ming said again: "Aunt Ji, come to my house to celebrate the New Year together. It will be very lively, and my parents will definitely welcome you."

Ji Youqing smiled and refused her: "Let's talk about this matter later, I still have unfinished business on hand, you go home to celebrate the New Year, and we can see you next year."

Lu Ming nodded, respecting her idea.
