occupy

Gu Yu yelled hard, put his hand to his mouth, and rubbed it vigorously a few times. After feeling less uncomfortable, he got up and carefully put the washed bowl into the disinfection cupboard.

Aunt Ye came into the back room from the kitchen next door with two white plastic lunch boxes in her hand, and watched Gu Yu, who was limping slightly, carefully put the cleaned bowls upside down in the disinfection cupboard, her eyes flashed Sympathetic and compassionate, said: "Xiaoyu, here are some leftovers, you can take them back." Then he took out a 100 yuan bill from the pocket hanging on his waist, and said: "Come on, this is this week's Salary, I have deducted the money you borrowed. Take it well and don’t lose it.”

Gu Yu wiped his hands on his sides, lowered his head and took over the 100 yuan, folded it neatly, put it in his pocket, his eyes quickly swept over the lunch box on the table, and raised his hand timidly. When it was mentioned, it said in an inaudible voice, "Thank you, Aunt Ye."

Aunt Ye sighed secretly, if her kid was half as sensible as this kid, she would have less to worry about. Why is Gu Yu so sensible at the same age, while her kid only knows how to go out and play crazy all day long? Sometimes I don't even go home to eat, let alone ask him to help in the store.

Alas, it's all her alcoholic husband's fault for always spoiling that kid!As if thinking of something, Aunt Ye smiled knowingly. Although her own boy is not as sensible as Gu Yu, but sometimes, that boy will take the pocket money given by her and her husband to buy gifts for her and her husband, so that the couple I am overjoyed.Besides, her family is much better than Gu Yu's, and she doesn't necessarily need the help of the boy in the family, just let the boy be happy.

Afterwards, Aunt Ye didn't think much about it anymore. In this kind of winter, there was a dishwasher in the store, but because it was too cold, he resigned and left. It happened that Gu Yu blushed to borrow money because he didn't have enough tuition for high school. , Let him help out in the store to pay back the money, three hundred yuan a week, of which two hundred yuan is deducted from the tuition money borrowed by Dang, and another hundred wages will be given.

--------

The area where Gu Yu and the others live is at the edge of the urban-rural fringe, and those old and low adobe houses are destined to be demolished at any time.It depends on when the government and those real estate developers who are ungrateful for profit will set their sights on it.

Gu Yu carried the two boxes of leftovers from Aunt Ye, so he didn't plan to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

In winter, it was almost dark before six o'clock, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. People who occasionally passed by him just looked at him coldly and then hurried away.

When passing the small park that he passed by every day, Gu Yu stopped, his eyes glued to the swing that swayed slightly due to the cold wind.I really want to sit down!If it flies, can he look up and see the sky?

He took half a step and didn't dare to move, because he saw a red light that dimmed and brightened behind the swing.

Someone is smoking in there!

Gu Yu turned around at the fastest speed, he was very afraid of people smoking, or rather, he was afraid of many people, even a wild dog jumping out from the side of the road would make him turn pale with fright.

"Hey, isn't this the cripple Yu in the alley? Why, when you see me, you turn around and don't even say hello. Don't you want to wash dishes in my shop? Lame Yu!"

Gu Yu was stopped by a rough male voice that had just passed the voice-changing period.

Gu Yu really didn't think that the person who was smoking secretly in the small park was Ye Tong, so after Ye Tong made his voice, he didn't dare to leave or look back, just stood there in a daze.

Speaking of which, he and Ye Tonglai were classmates, but at school, Ye Tong never glanced at him, even when some classmates bullied him, Ye Tong would laugh a few words and follow those classmates on his body. A few moderate punches or kicks.

Or Ye Tong also knows that Gu Yu has no money, so those people just can't understand Gu Yu's cowardice, no matter how heavy the fists and kicks, or the ugly insulting words, Gu Yu always bears it silently, Will not resist, let alone make a sound.Therefore, it will only make the person who beat him more unhappy.Fortunately, he only vented his anger on Gu Yu and didn't dare to kill anyone. Moreover, Ye Tong, a boss-like figure, was in charge of those people.

Ye Tong put his hands in his trouser pockets, took a heavy puff of the cigarette with two fingers in one hand, walked up to Gu Yu who was standing at the side entrance of the small park, spit the cigarette on Gu Yu's face, and said angrily: " Well, Lame Yu, what did you see? Are you planning to sue me in front of my mother for smoking? "

Gu Yu shrunk his neck, his brows blocked by his long bangs and glasses frowned slightly, feeling very uncomfortable with the smell of smoke hitting his nose, holding back the coughing sensation in his throat, pursed his lips, and did not answer, Because he didn't know how to answer at all.So what if you see Ye Tong smoking?He won't meddle in his own business!If you don't meddle in your own business, you will be beaten. If you meddle in your own business, wouldn't you ask for a beating?

Ye Tong hated Gu Yu's submissive and weak behavior the most, which made him want to beat someone up, but when he thought that his behavior was bullying the weak, he suppressed it.It's just that when he saw some of his younger brothers who had nothing to do and dragged Gu Yu to a corner inside or outside the school to beat people, as the boss, he shouldn't have shot, but now he can't use language to regulate the younger brothers, and Those guys had no clue as soon as they made a move. He was afraid that something would happen to the little cripple who was so thin that it only reached his shoulders. He had to stop those guys and do it himself, which was better than the little cripple being beaten into the hospital.

"Speak, you are dumb! Be careful, I will beat you!" Ye Tong said angrily, threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground, and crushed it a few times. He felt that he wanted to crush Gu Yu in front of him even more. It's over!

Gu Yu bit his lower lip, lowered his head, and said weakly: "I...I didn't see anything." Now he is trembling slightly, not only because of the cold, but also because of the coldness. I was intimidated by the oppressive momentum.

Ye Tong turned his head and spat, his eyes caught sight of Gu Yu holding a white lunch box in his hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched disdainfully, and said: "Your family is really poor, or are you talking about the leftovers from those sweaty construction site workers?" Is the food more delicious?"

Gu Yu tightened his hand holding the lunch box, and said, "No... no, Aunt Ye secretly picked it out from every dish for me. I know it all."

"Oh, you mean my mother cut corners on the guests?"

A drop of cold sweat dripped from the forehead of Gu Yu, and he said: "No... no, it's... your mother fried a little extra and put it out for me, no... you didn't cut corners for the guests."

"Okay, no matter what, the food in your hand is specially left for you by my mother! My mother has never left any food for me! Give it to me!" Ye Tong went to grab the food in Gu Yu's hand plastic bag.

Gu Yu dodged his hand subconsciously, which was terrible, Ye Tong took out his left hand from his trouser pocket, and pushed vigorously on Gu Yu's shoulder, which could be said to be a tight hand.

How could Gu Yu stand such a strong push?His body was originally unbalanced, and he fell to the ground, and the lunch box he was carrying carefully hit the ground, and it all spilled out. Under the evening wind in winter, the fragrance wafted out and quickly dissipated.

Ye Tong was stunned for a moment, a little annoyed, he didn't know if it was because of his mother's dish being knocked over, or because of his thin body who fell to the ground and shrugged slightly.

"It's useless! Are you a boy!? If you dare to cry, I'll beat you!" Seeing someone walking over while talking in the distance, Ye Tong shouted in a low voice: "Still not getting up! It's just some Any leftovers?"

Gu Yu didn't dare to wipe his eyes under the glasses, so he blinked hard twice, squeezing the tears out of his eyes, and then looked at the cold vegetables on the ground with a blurred vision, wanting to pick them up I put it in the box, but it was covered with dust and I couldn't eat it.But Gu Yu still picked up those vegetables, and when the two passers-by approached, he also got up, and threw the box and those dusty vegetables into the trash can a few steps away.

The two passers-by looked at Gu Yu and Ye Tong strangely, but Ye Tong stared back fiercely. The two passers-by were so frightened that there was wind under their feet, and they walked quickly.

When the two passers-by walked away, Ye Tong grabbed Gu Yu's hand violently and pulled him into the small park.

Gu Yu let out a short exclamation of "ah", and was frightened by Ye Tong's beast-like eyes in the dim light, as if someone had strangled his neck, and he couldn't make any sound.

For a while, Gu Yu was in a distraught state, until Ye Tong unscrewed the faucet outside the public toilet next to the small park, and forcibly pulled his hand under the cold tap water to rinse, Gu Yu was startled back to his senses.

"Hmph! Do you think I'll beat you up? Although I really want to beat you up, I haven't had dinner yet and I don't have the strength!" Ye Tong was annoyed again, why did he pull him over to wash his hands?

Then angrily let go of those hands that were so cold that they were no longer warm, and said, "Wash yourself! After washing, accompany me to eat and drink!"

Gu Yu, who was so stimulated by the cold water that his hands were numb, was startled, and hurriedly said softly: "No... no, I want to go home, my mother is waiting for me."

Ye Tong took a deep breath, lifted his foot and kicked the wall hard, turned and left, he was afraid that if he didn't walk away, he would really beat someone up.

Gu Yu turned off the faucet, took out the handkerchief embroidered by his mother from his pocket, wiped his hands dry, wiped the corners of his eyes, and took two deep breaths, cheering himself up in his heart, and looked back slowly. With a sigh of relief, he limped away as fast as he could.

But Gu Yu didn't know that Ye Tong hid behind the tree and watched his running back for a long time.
