In the next few classes, Gu Pei stopped the teachers to ask questions when the class was over, and did not let the teachers go until it was time to start the class. When the class was over, he was the first to rush out of the classroom door, so this afternoon Lin Shaojun did not No chance of finding fault.

Gu Pei ran to the street before stopping and walking slowly. He also knew that this was not a good idea, but now his grades are not good, and he is not good at fighting. If he really gets into a fight with Lin Shaojun, he will suffer.But now these days, the students are still very focused on grades. If I can get good grades in the monthly exam after two weeks, my situation should change a lot.At that time, even if Lin Shaojun made trouble for him, it is estimated that some "righteous people" in the class would lend a helping hand instead of laughing with Lin Shaojun like this now.

After figuring this out, Gu Pei was in the mood to take a good look at the place in his memory.At this time, District A was still an urban village, with narrow streets and messy houses, where migrant workers and poor people gathered.Here you can see hawkers pushing carts selling vegetables and fruits, housewives wearing pajamas and slippers cursing and choosing, men wandering around with baskets on their backs, children whose school uniforms are dirty and colorless, A scavenger who rummages through garbage with a child on his back...

Crossing the crowded street, Gu Pei came to the downstairs of his house. Although there were street lights in the corridor, due to the long-term smoke from the coal, the lights were covered with a dark veil. The dark corridor seemed to be the place where the devil lived. of dark places.But this kind of thinking disappeared when Gu Pei heard the cries of children and the noise of adults.To be honest, although the conditions here are poor, the atmosphere of life is much stronger than that of ten years later.

"Mom." As soon as he reached the fifth floor, Gu Pei saw Gu's mother washing vegetables in the public washroom.

"Ah, Xiao Pei is back." Gu's mother turned her head to look at Gu Pei and continued to wash the vegetables, "It's just right, you should clean up the house. Your father is coming back today."

"Yeah." Gu Pei nodded.His father works on a construction site and usually lives on the construction site, so he seldom goes home.

At this time, the house was still on the concrete floor, and there was a lot of dust in the house. In addition, there were two beds in a small room. Gu Pei just swept it twice and saw the dust and fine flakes flying around. frowned.

"Okay, I don't need to mop the floor today. It got wet twice and then stepped on dirty." Gu Ma was holding the vegetable basket, and seeing Gu Pei pick up the mop, she hurriedly stopped it.

"Yeah." Gu Pei nodded, took her mother's food basket, watched her shake her hands wearily, and said, "How about I cook tonight?"

"Your father has been diligent since he came back. How often did you not push back and frown when asked you to cook?" Gu's mother was happy to hear him say that, with a smile on her face, but he did not refuse. His son's craftsmanship She knew it. Although the fried dishes looked ugly, they tasted good.

Enduring the smell of soot, Gu Pei had just finished cooking when he heard the voice of his father saying hello to his neighbors. To be honest, the voice was a little strange, but Gu Pei felt a little hot in his eyes for some reason.

"The dishes are all ready!" Entering the room, Gu's father laughed, "It looks like Xiao Pei did it." Gu Pei has a special feature in cooking, no matter how watery the dishes are, he can fry them Browned and browned, with a dry aroma.

"Yeah, see how much your son misses you." Gu Ma made a look of envy and jealousy, then stepped forward, took the hard hat and tools from Gu Pa, put them away, and said, "Go and wash, you are covered in ashes. .”

"I know." Although he said so, Gu's father who saw his son was obviously very excited. He touched Gu Pei's head with a smile, then lowered his head and said with a sideways face, "Come on, Dad Xiang!" The voice, Deliberately made a few detours, with a bit of a funny taste.

Listening to the familiar and warm sentences, Gu Pei almost shed tears.Although Gu's father had no money in his early years, he had a cheerful personality. Xi was a person who liked children very much. Although he looked like a tough guy outside, he liked to play with Gu Pei very much at home.What he likes to say most is "Do you miss Dad?", "Come on, one for Xiang Dad, one for Xiang Dad!", and this continued until Gu Pei was 15 years old when his parents divorced. He could continue to say this for another ten years.

"What's the matter? You were bullied at school?" Seeing that Gu Pei was sullen and silent, and Gu's father stopped asking for "Xiangxiang", he got up and patted Gu Pei's shoulder and said with a heroic look, "A man can't do this!"

"Okay, how can Xiaopei be bullied? Go wash up!" Gu Ma urged impatiently.

"Really, you have to take care of your son." Gu's father muttered but went out obediently. Before leaving, he made a show of coloring towards Gu Pei, meaning "Don't bother with your mother, let's talk later."

Seeing that his father was still like this, Gu Pei finally raised the corners of his lips.No matter what happens in the future, he is still happy now.But thinking of Dad saying these words and doing these little things to another child made him feel jealous.But stop them from getting a divorce?Forget it, I remember that they lived better after the divorce than when they were together, and now I am not used to the happy atmosphere.

With such thoughts in mind, Gu Pei didn't have a very pleasant dinner afterwards, even if Gu's father teased him, he still smiled perfunctorily.It wasn't until he was lying on the hard little bed, listening to the breathing of the three of them gradually becoming coherent, that his mood gradually improved.

When Gu Pei woke up the next day, Papa Gu was already ready to go out. Seeing Papa Gu put on the dusty clothes from last night again, he couldn't help calling "Daddy".

"Ah, Xiao Pei is awake?" Papa Gu turned around and looked at him with a smile.

Papa Gu's words woke up Gu Pei, who was still a little confused, and calmed down those inexplicable emotions. He deliberately joked: "Father, you finally didn't say 'Father Xiang' today."

"Your father is not so naive every day."

You also know that you are naive!Gu Pei glanced at him pretending to be disdainful, and then finally returned to normal, standing up and asking, "Where's my mother?"

"Washing the dishes."

Gu Pei nodded. Although his family is not rich, they still have [-] cents for breakfast every day. This year, they can buy a portion of glutinous rice, so they don't need to eat at home.

"Hey, it's getting late, then I'm going to the construction site first, and you should clean it up quickly, otherwise..." He pointed in the direction of the bathroom, "I'm going to get angry in a while." After speaking, he winked at Gu Pei, and then He picked up the tools and went out, ignoring his son's stinky face.

I shouldn't have thought about those yesterday, such a father should poison other people!

After his father left, the room suddenly became quiet. Gu Pei rubbed his face unaccustomedly, his expression just now was really not like his own.Sighing, he packed up his things, and when he went to wash his face, Gu's mother just came back. Hearing her mother's rambling for a while, Gu Pei slowly went downstairs.

The downstairs is very lively. Every morning, there are about 60 men and women with big backpacks gathered. There are teenage children and elderly people in their [-]s. They all do hard work, carry things on their backs, and sometimes Taking odd jobs, there is a person who can be regarded as their leader living on the second floor, so every morning, they will gather here. Three years ago, when Grandpa Gu Pei was seriously ill and lacked money, his mother also joined. Her health is not that good, she fell ill after being tired for a few months, and she can't stand the tiredness until now, so Gu Ma has been working as a housewife at home for the past two years.Because of this, my mother has actually changed a lot in the past two years. She felt that she was not up to date. The long-term depression made her temper gradually change, and she became more and more fond of complaining. Even after her father made money, she still did not change much. Then Dad had another woman, and then there were quarrels, divorces, marriages...

Gu Pei pursed her lips, walked through the crowd, and unconsciously followed a boy in school uniform from her school.In fact, parents are also in love. The atmosphere last night was quite good, but love is not a reliable thing. An ordinary life without love is actually much more attractive than a life with love but noisy all day long, especially for two people. For the parents of the next year--middle-aged people who have experienced hardships.
