bud

Playing poker until midnight last night, Jiang Yu and Zi Luo stayed in bed again the next day, hearing the howling wind and crackling rain outside the window, which made their decision not to get up even more determined.

It was noon, and the two of them went out to eat some food under umbrellas. The rain gradually became lighter. Jiang Yu stepped on the slippers and walked forward. After walking a few steps, he stopped: "Let's bring some food back, Specialties or something."

"Okay." Zi Luo held an umbrella and looked around, "There is a street over there, go there and have a look."

The prices of the things here are not low. Although it didn't cost much to come here, Jiang Yu is still a little worried about his small wallet.He didn't know what Xu Meiyin and Jiang Dezhi liked to eat, so he just picked some flavors that everyone liked, and planned to take them home for them to taste.

After returning to the room, Jiang Yu remembered something he had forgotten for a long time: "I said I wanted to find a part-time job, but I haven't found one until now. I also want to make money."

Zi Luo glanced at him: "Why are you making money?"

Jiang Yu said: "Save it, you will use it to go to college in the future, do you make money to go to City A later?"

"Ah."

"That can't make you work so hard to make money by yourself. I have to find a part-time job. I'll go back and see if there are any children who want tutoring." Jiang Yu leaned his head on his shoulder and stared at Doraemon's lights for a while Son.

Zi Luo reached out and touched his face, smiled and said, "It's okay if you can't find it. If you get No.1 in the competition, the money will be enough for us for a year or two."

"Ah." Jiang Yu was silent for a while, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, "Our parents will give money, and you participate in competitions and teach classes, why do you earn so much money?"

Zi Luo and him looked at each other for about tens of seconds, and decided not to hide it anymore: "I think we will rent a house when we go to college."

Jiang Yu looked at him with his mouth slightly open, and was stunned.

He stared at Zi Luo for a long time without reacting, Zi Luo was not in a hurry, and pinched his nose with a smile: "Don't you want to?"

"...Think about it." Jiang Yu finally came back to his senses, with a smile on his face, excited as if he was about to go to college at the beginning of school, "Think about it, renting a house, just the two of us."

Zi Luo frowned: "I've done the math, the prize money from the competition and the money for the lessons are already enough to pay the rent."

Jiang Yu faced him face to face and said, "That's why I'm looking for a part-time job. Isn't it better for me to share the rent with you?"

Zi Luo pursed his mouth slightly, smiled and nodded at him: "Go back and have a look."

Jiang Yu threw himself into his arms, rubbing his face against his neck, and whispered, "That's great."

Zi Luo was pressed down by him and could only lie on the bed, Jiang Yu called him, and said, "It's very good."

"Hmm..." Zi Luo picked him up and kissed him, "Come on, Xiao Jiang Yu."

Jiang Yu looked at him and smiled: "I will, my goal now is to be the first in the grade."

Zi Luo smiled: "Oh, it's an amazing wish."

The rain hadn't stopped when we went back, and Hou Yi and the others bought the tickets together, but they were not in the same carriage.After getting off the bus, they went back to their respective houses. The sky was already dark, and the entrance of Baihua Lane was filled with the fragrance of flowers. Jiang Yu's calf was almost wet. From a distance, he saw a man standing outside a house in the alley, sneaking around, without even opening an umbrella. .

Going further, you can see it more clearly. It is a woman, standing at the gate of his house and looking in.

Jiang Yu turned his head suspiciously and looked at Zi Luo, making sure that they didn't know each other. When he came to the front, the woman still didn't notice him, she just hung her head and looked into Jiang's courtyard.

On a rainy day, the gate of Jiang's house was plugged in from the inside. If you want to see it, you can only look through the gap. Jiang Yu followed and took a look inside. There was no one, but the light was on in the living room.

He couldn't help it, and said to the woman who hadn't found him for a long time: "Who are you?"

The woman trembled from the sudden voice, turned her head and saw the boy who was half a head taller than her, she was staring at Jiang Yu closely, her mouth was slightly open as if she wanted to speak, but she didn't say a word.

She kept looking at the big boy in front of her without blinking, as if he would disappear if she blinked.

When Zi Luo saw her face, his eyes were fixed, and he turned to look at Jiang Yu.

"Who are you looking for?" Jiang Yu pointed to the door, "This is my house, who are you?"

At this moment, the rain was a little lighter, but the woman's whole face was already wet, and most of her thin clothes were wet. She suddenly lowered her head as if she had woken up, as if she didn't know where to put it, she lowered her eyebrows and looked away. Jiang Yu's gaze: "...It's okay, I went wrong."

The woman hurriedly stepped into the puddle and splashed water.Jiang Yu frowned and stared at her back: "This person is really strange."

Jiang Yu had already looked away, Zi Luo saw the man stop walking and looked back for a few seconds.

"Mom, I'm back." Jiang Yu looked in the direction of the bedroom after entering the door, and saw the door opened a gap, "I brought some food..."

"cousin!"

A voice suddenly interrupted his words, Jiang Yu turned around and saw Xiong Ling coming out of another room, and looked at him in surprise: "When did you come?"

"Third Aunt said you came back today, so I'm here." Xiong Ling stepped on his slippers and went to look for some delicious food he brought. "I'm very bored at home, so I came to ask you to take me to a big meal."

Xu Meiyin came out of the bedroom: "Are you back?"

Jiang Yu hummed.

"Is it fun?"

"It's okay." Jiang Yu glanced into the room, but he didn't see Jiang Dezhi's figure. He pointed to the bag on the table, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I just bought something."

Xu Meiyin looked a little tired, nodded her head, and didn't go to see what he bought, but asked: "Is the money I gave you spent?"

"No." Jiang Yu lowered his eyes, "There are still a lot left."

"Oh, okay, save some money." Xu Meiyin said, "Have you eaten yet? I'll warm up some noodles for you."

Jiang Yu turned to go back to the house, and answered her: "I won't eat."

Xiong Ling followed him into the house with loose squid shreds: "Cousin, did Brother Luo go with you?"

Hearing the familiar voice of "Brother Luo", Jiang Yu hooked the corners of his lips: "Yes."

Xiong Ling asked again: "Then where is he now?"

"Go home."

"He's really good. There are several types of questions that he posed on the test paper, and I can answer them all." Xiong Ling seemed to have become a small fan of Ziluo, and his eyes were shining when he said it, "I want to tell him something. Thanks."

Jiang Yu was so tired that he lay down on the bed: "Another day."

The rain finally stopped in the afternoon of the second day. When the breeze blew, the persimmon leaves fell all over the courtyard again.Jiang Yu was sweeping the floor in the yard when he suddenly heard the sound of a piano from next door.

There are still a few days before the piano rematch at the end of the month, and Zi Luo needs to hurry up and practice.

Jiang Yu looked around the room, wondering how to get Xu Meiyin to agree with him to follow.

Although he thinks the possibility is almost zero.

The next day Jiang Yu wanted to take Xiong Ling out to play, Xiong Ling changed his clothes and ran out of the house: "Brother Luo, are you going?"

Jiang Yu looked up at him: "No."

"Why?" Xiong Ling was a little disappointed, "You ask him to come out and go together."

Jiang Yu didn't say a word, and stood in the yard for a while with his arms around his shoulders: "Did you hear that?"

Xiong Ling turned to look at him in a daze: "Who is playing the piano?"

"Brother Luo." Jiang Yu went back to the house to get the key, went out with him and locked the door, "He is going to participate in the competition in a few days, don't bother him."

Xiong Ling opened his mouth in surprise: "Brother Luo can also play the piano? That's amazing—"

"I said," Jiang Yu looked down at him and clicked his tongue, "I also gave you tutoring, why don't you praise me?"

Xiong Ling nodded seriously: "You are also amazing, and my English has also improved."

Jiang Yu couldn't hold back his joy.

The weather was nice after it had rained, but it was sweltering after staying outside for a long time. Jiang Yu and Xiong Ling watched those people play basketball outside the mall. After watching for a while, they went shopping in the mall. Went in and bought him a Haagen-Dazs.

Xiong Ling enjoyed his meal, and looked up to see his cousin staring at the ice cream in his hand thoughtfully.

"What's the matter, cousin?"

Jiang Yu moved: "No."

Just thinking, it would be great if Zi Luo was here too.

I want to buy him Haagen-Dazs.

Jiang Yu was eating ice cream, watching the people coming and going in front of him, and asked him, "How is your homework going?"

"I just wrote a little bit, but I brought it all." Xiong Ling said, "I can ask brother Luo if there is anything wrong."

Jiang Yu turned to look at him, nodded and smiled, "Okay."

After eating, the two went to the video game city on the third floor. The games probably attracted the boys the most, and they didn't come out for almost an hour.Jiang Yu had almost finished playing with a basket of coins, so he patted Xiong Ling on the head and asked, "What else do you want to play?"

Xiong Lingzheng was having a great time shooting the basketball: "I don't want to play anymore, I want to eat."

Jiang Yu nodded: "Let's go."

It was too noisy inside, and when Jiang Yu came out, he took out his phone and found that Zi Luo had sent him several messages, the latest one was displayed more than ten minutes ago.After he opened it, he saw Zi Luo and asked him where he had been.

Yu: I took the bear kid out to play, but I didn’t tell you when I heard you playing the piano

Fall: where?

Yu: Are you coming?

He sent a location directly.

After a few minutes, Jiang Yu shook the phone in his hand and said to Xiong Ling, "Your Brother Luo will be here later, wait for him here."

Hearing this sentence, Xiong Ling was more excited than having caught the doll: "Really?!"

"Truer than pearls."

"By the way, cousin, I found that you and brother Luo are quite famous in our school."

Jiang Yu: "Huh?"

"All the girls in our class know you two." Xiong Ling said, "They still don't believe me when I say you are my cousin. Later, I will take a photo with you two to make them laugh."

Jiang Yu casually laughed, "Okay."

The two of them sat on the bench and waited for Zi to fall. The air conditioner in the shopping mall was fully turned on, and the two of them felt cold.Jiang Yu turned to him and asked, "Is there anyone in your class who wants to take tutoring?"

"Ah, I don't know." Xiong Ling looked at him, "Cousin, do you want to work part-time?"

"clever."

Xiong Ling said, "I'll go back and ask you. There is a boy in our class whose father is looking for a teacher for him recently."

Jiang Yu nodded: "Yes."

About ten minutes later, Jiang Yu caught sight of the figure walking behind the crowd.

Zi Luo is tall, with outstanding looks and temperament. As soon as he appeared, he attracted the eyes of the girls nearby. Jiang Yu smiled and watched him approach: "Quite fast."

"Come here by taxi." Zi Luo glanced at Xiong Ling who was sitting next to him, and said, "I'm afraid you'll have to wait in a hurry."

Before Jiang Yu could speak, Xiong Ling said, "No, no, we are not in a hurry."

Zi Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, Jiang Yu stood up and said with a smile: "He wants to thank you, thanks to the test paper you gave, he improved a lot in the exam."

"That's right, Brother Luo, you are amazing. You deserve to be the No. heart of……"

"What do you want your heart for?" Jiang Yu patted his head, "What do you want to eat?"

Xiong Ling said, "What would Brother Luo want to eat?"

Seeing his doggy appearance, Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing, and Zi Luo also laughed: "Look at you."

Xiong Ling chose a barbecue restaurant, Zi Luo and Jiang Yu sat together, Zi Luo was in charge of grilling, and Jiang Yu and Xiong Ling were in charge of eating.But Jiang Yu wasn't too hungry, so he didn't eat much, so he baked with him and asked him, "Did you tell Aunt Xie about your going to the competition?"

"Yeah." Zi Luo picked up a piece of meat for Xiong Ling, "I decided to stay there for half a month."

Jiang Yu asked, "Aunt Xie really won't go?"

"She's going to work."

"I haven't told my mother yet, so I don't know how to say it." Jiang Yu drank the juice, "Although, I must go."

Zi Luo smiled: "Say it well, don't quarrel anymore, or you won't be able to go anywhere."

"I know." Jiang Yu replied softly, but he was still a little worried when he thought of Xu Meiyin's stubborn temper.

When Jiang Dezhi got home, he was sitting in front of the TV, drinking wine and watching the news. Jiang Yu stepped into the door and called out, "Dad."

Jiang Dezhi looked up at him: "I'm back."

"Yeah." Jiang Yu said, "I'm going back to the house first."

As soon as he reached Xu Meiyin, he followed in. After coming in, he talked to Jiang Dezhi: "Why are you eating by yourself? Have you cooked yet?"

Jiang Dezhi said: "I'll just eat some steamed buns and a la carte, and you can cook whatever you want."

Xu Meiyin said dissatisfied: "There are still two children—"

"Third aunt, my cousin and I ate outside." Xiong Ling said, "What do you want to eat, I'll go out and buy it for you."

Xu Meiyin sighed and said, "Don't eat, go do your homework."

Jiang Yu could hear Jiang Dezhi's nonchalant attitude and Xu Meiyin's suppressed dissatisfaction in the room. Maybe it was because Xiong Ling was here and Xu Meiyin didn't get angry, but Jiang Yu knew her well, and within a minute he heard Xu Meiyin's resentment. Mei Yin complained: "You guys are comfortable every day, I'm exhausted in the store by myself to the point where I don't even have a hot meal at home—"

There was a knock on the door, and Xiong Ling called him from outside: "Cousin, open the door, I'll come to you to do my homework."

Jiang Yu let him in: "Do it, be quiet, and ask me if you know anything."

Xiong Ling had a lot of fun today, and now he calmed down and did his homework for a long time, without saying a word for a long time.After finishing the homework in the exercise book, he was a little annoyed, so he looked up at Jiang Yu who was sitting in front of the computer.

He saw the content on the computer screen clearly, thought for a while and began to take out his mobile phone.

Jiang Yu was looking for a part-time job. The content of the part-time job interface was not much, and there was nothing suitable for him. After flipping through it, it was not the latest update. He turned off the computer directly, lay flat and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

He was thinking about how to get Xu Meiyin to agree with him to go to City A to stay for half a month.

He was still thinking about what kind of part-time job he could find for a year to earn money and share the rent with Zi Luo.

"Cousin, I asked you about my classmate." Xiong Ling turned to look at him, "but his father just found him a college student as a tutor two days ago."

Jiang Yu waved his hand: "It's okay."

He turned over to get his phone and sent a message to Zi Luo.

Yu: What are you doing?

fall: piano practice

It took several minutes for Zi Luo to reply, probably during the piano practice, when Jiang Yu was free to reply. Jiang Yu stared at the content for a while and decided not to disturb him, and continued to think about how to persuade Xu Meiyin.

He already has experience, and he should choose when she is in a good mood to discuss things with Xu Meiyin, so that the success rate will at least be higher.But judging from the current situation, speaking up is tantamount to death.

An hour later, Zi Luo directly sent him a video call.

Jiang Yu leaned against the head of the bed, lazily looking at the screen: "Aren't you going to practice?"

"I've been practicing for a long time." Zi Luo was wearing a black T-shirt, put his phone away and looked at him for about ten seconds, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yu thought about it, and told the truth: "I'm thinking about how to discuss with my mother about going to City A with you."

Zi Luo also found it difficult to handle, and was silent for a while: "It's really impossible, you can wait for me at home, don't make trouble with your uncle and aunt because of this."

"Aunt Xie is assured that you will go alone, why can't I follow?" Jiang Yu felt that Xu Meiyin was controlling him too strictly, "I will pick a time to talk to her in these two days."

If you don’t say anything else, there will be no time, Zi Luo looked at him and responded, Xiong Ling ran over after a game, hooked his head to look at the person on the phone, and shouted: "Brother Luo, you play the piano really well."

Jiang Yu couldn't hold back: "Enough of flatterers, it sounds like you've heard it before."

Xiong Ling said, "I listened in the yard for a while."

Zi Luo smiled and said to him, "I'll play it for you next time."

"You can definitely get No.1 in the competition, come on." Xiong Ling yawned after finishing speaking, and said to Jiang Yu, "Cousin, I'm going to wash up and sleep."

Jiang Yu: "Well, kneel down."
