After wearing the book, I was with Bai Yueguang

Tuesday, like yesterday, was another rainy day.

It has been raining continuously recently. Since last Sunday, the rain has not stopped, and it has been falling intermittently. The stone roads in the campus are wet and slippery if you don't pay attention.

Xu Qing looked away from the unknown classmate who slipped and fell on the road outside the window, and said calmly, "She asked for leave in the morning."

Standing by the desk was Xiao Lan, the art committee member, who came to look for Gu Xiao.

"Ask for leave?" Xiao Lan asked, "Is she coming in the afternoon?"

Xu Qing: "I don't know."

Gee.

Xiao Lan recalled the gossip he saw on the forum, "It's the same with you."

She took out an envelope, which was a bit thick, and she couldn't tell what it was. "After finishing our grade library class on Friday, there will be a class meeting."

"For this class meeting, I will take pictures to participate in the campus selection. The envelope is the activity funds drawn from the class fee. You tell Gu Xiao, she is responsible for purchasing the materials for the class meeting site."

"Our class committee has carefully considered this candidate. Gu Xiao is a new classmate. He happened to get in touch with class affairs and get acquainted with the classmates. Besides, she didn't sign up for the sports meeting on Thursday, so it was easier than the classmates who participated in the competition. Thank you for your hard work, she went to the mall to buy it."

Xu Qing took the envelope and counted the money in front of Xiao Lan, "Where's the list?"

"Ok?"

"What do you need to buy?"

Xiao Lan smiled, "Balloons, ribbons, etc., just don't exceed the funds in the envelope. If you buy too much, the rest can be used next time."

"Oh, let's talk about the schedule. The sports meeting on Thursday ends at five o'clock in the afternoon. We start setting up the class meeting at four o'clock, and strive to end early and go home early, so she can prepare the materials before four o'clock."

"Remember to tell her."

Xiao Lan left after explaining, as if she really just came to explain the class meeting.

"Brother Qing, why did Gu Xiao ask for leave? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No."

Answering Li Ersan's question, Xu Qing was not perfunctory, "Her brother arrived in Ming City last night, and went to Grandpa's house with her this morning."

Speaking of this, it's kind of weird.

Why did Gu Shu want her to accompany him when he went to his grandfather's house?

Xu Qing didn't want to understand the logic of this.

"Ah, is she coming this afternoon?"

Xu Qing saw that the person who was asking the question was Ji He who had come over to play with Li Ersan recently during class breaks, "She didn't say anything, but she probably will come. Do you want to ask her for something?"

"Hey, that's...well, didn't I make it to the top three..."

Xu Qing answered, "Play games for the weekend."

"I understand, I understand, it's not about this." Ji He shook his head, "My family members said they wanted to invite you to dinner. Under your wise guidance, my grades have improved."

"I wanted to ask if you and Li Sinian were free, and Li Sinian and I also dropped by because Gu Xiao needed tutoring, so we might as well ask her if she wants to come together."

Li Ersan raised his eyebrows, and Ji He stopped him before he could say a word, "When I bumped into a telephone pole, someone agreed to come to my house for dinner."

"Okay." Li Ersan said straightforwardly, "Whether I'm free or not, I'll make time for it, okay."

"So when?"

He can talk casually with Li Ersan, but Ji He is much more serious about Xu Qing's questioning, "This Wednesday night, at my house."

"Wednesday..."

Classes will be held as usual on Wednesday morning, and parent meeting will be held on Wednesday afternoon.

"My parents won't come, so I have to stay in the classroom to attend the parent-teacher meeting in the afternoon."

"It's okay. Then the parents' meeting is just over. Come back with my parents. The three of us will wait for you first."

Xu Qing didn't answer, as if he was lost in his own thoughts again, Li Ersan was about to speak to break the silence, when Xu Qing said, "Okay."

"Then it's a deal. I'll ask Gu Xiao when she comes to school."

After getting an affirmative answer, Ji He immediately relaxed, "But you go, I guess Gu Xiao will definitely agree."

Xu Qing smiled, neither affirming nor denying.

"Sister Wei, don't worry, I've made an agreement with Xiao Lan. Show her the photo, and she is very angry, saying that she will teach Gu Xiao a lesson."

Qin Baiwei put on nail polish in a slow manner, "What does it have to do with me? It was Wang Anzhi who caused the rotten love by cheating. I didn't tell you anything."

She put red nail polish on her index finger and blew on it.

Aunt Qin Ruohua sent people to monitor Wang Anzhi, and on Saturday, the photos of Jiang Shian and Wang Anzhi playing in the amusement park were sent back immediately.

Qin Baiwei originally wanted to bring this matter to the elders of Jiang's family, to break Wang Anzhi's desire to find foreign aid, but changed her mind when she saw a group photo with an exquisite angle in the evening

What can the Jiang family do if they know about it?

If Wang Anzhi got involved with Gu Xiao because of the unwarranted jealousy of the peach blossoms, the Gu family would definitely be angry.

And all I need to pay is an anonymous photo posted by someone on the forum to attract people's attention.

"Lanlan, do you really want to laugh?"

Before the big break was over, after going to the toilet together, the good sisters asked Xiao Lan while washing their hands in front of the sink.

"You think I'm a fool?"

"How is it possible, it must not be."

"Then why am I helping Qin Baiwei, an outsider, with my classmates?"

"Hey——" the good sister was surprised, "I think you gave Gu Xiao the procurement task."

"You went with me, didn't you hear the reason I said?"

After Xiao Lan washed her hands, she took out a piece of paper to wipe off the water on her hands.

"...I thought you were bluffing."

Xiao Lan was speechless, "Am I right? I didn't say anything wrong. Gu Xiao didn't participate in sports events, and he didn't sign up for the cheerleading team. Several students in the class told me that Gu Xiao was not easy to get along with."

The little sister curled her lips, "If they were Xu Qing, I'm afraid they wouldn't think so."

"Double standards are good, double standards are wonderful. If there is a beautiful sister who is willing to double standards for me, my heart will definitely hit the wall for her."

Xiao Lan said leisurely, "It's a pity I don't have one."

When the car reached the gate of the courtyard, Gu Shu asked Xiaofang to stop.

"Find a place outside and wait for me."

He took the supplements for his grandparents, got out of the car alone, and walked into the compound alone.

Along the way, the rain gradually subsided and finally stopped, but occasionally there were a few round raindrops rolling down the veins of the green leaves, pattering onto his body.

The last time he came here was during the Chinese New Year this year, and he came to pay New Year's greetings with his parents. In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and the banyan tree in the yard is as green as ever.

Estimated... the tree grew thicker.

About coming to visit this morning, I had already discussed with the elders. Gu Shu saw the door was slightly open, knocked, and without waiting for an answer, he opened the door and entered the room.

Grandpa Xie Huaijin was sitting on a deck chair on the open balcony, swaying slowly, a pot of purple clay tea was placed on a small round table beside him, and grandma Yan Suzhi was busy with lunch in the kitchen.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Xie Huaijin glanced towards the entrance, "Here we come."

"Grandpa, grandma." Gu Shu put the things in his hand on the table.

Xie Huaijin glanced at the exquisite outer packaging box and lost interest, "I haven't finished eating what I bought last time, so I bought it again, it's a waste of money."

Yan Suzhi came out of the kitchen, "Don't pay attention to your grandfather, he is very happy that you are here."

Gu Shu smiled, knowing how to control grandpa's temper, "There are also snacks and snacks that Mom made yesterday, and they are specially airlifted here, let me bring them to you to taste."

Xie Huaibo muttered, "Tossing nonsense."

But he involuntarily got up from the reclining chair and walked to the living room, "Which box is hers?"

Gu Shu picked out Xie Wan's work, opened it and put it on the table, took a teapot from the small round table and added a cup of tea, "You eat, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look."

"What are you doing in the kitchen? Go out and play."

Gu Shu smiled, "My cooking skills are quite good now."

Yan Suzhi doubted, "Xiao Shu, you won't follow your father's example and deceive yourself with a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"

Gu Shu: "..."

His eyes wandered through the preparation of the dishes in the kitchen, and he fell on the prawns, "Fried prawns in oil, I will make them today."

"It's amazing, okay, then your grandfather and I will wait to eat."

"How is Xiaoxiao at school?"

Gu Shu paused for removing the shrimp thread, "It's pretty good."

"Well, are you still used to school life?"

"Adapted, she told me that she made new friends."

"New friend?" Grandpa scratched the door frame and probed, "What new friend?"

"I know a few people who can play in the class."

Gu Shu found that Grandpa still had nothing to say, and what he really wanted to ask probably wasn't this matter, so he guided, "Do you care who my friend is doing?"

Xie Huaijin choked up, stopped talking, and was about to turn around and walk to the living room in a fit of anger. Yan Suzhi exposed him, "Your grandfather has a favorite child who is also in No. [-] Middle School. It seems... from what Old Wei said, and you... My younger sister is in the same grade, and she also majors in liberal arts."

"Who? Do I know him?"

"His grandfather also lives in this yard, and the grandson of Dong Dong next door, you probably haven't met before."

Xie Huaijin whispered, "Whoever likes him, I don't."

"A few days ago, I heard from Lao Wei that his grandson moved out. Who is the person who wants to adopt him as his god-grandson? Is it you? Why don't I remember it?" Yan Suzhi frowned, thinking hard.

"...nonsense. Who am I?"

Xie Huaijin snorted, "I like him, but he doesn't like me. I made two calls on the phone, and didn't put us at ease!"

Yan Suzhi was funny, and said to Gu Shu, "Don't look at him with a stubborn mouth, he is not the same as the one who moved a stool and ran under the banyan tree in the hot summer days to wait for the children to listen to him read."

The more I listened to it, the more familiar it became. With an inexplicable impulse mixed with a bit of incredible joy, Gu Shu asked, "What's his name?"

"Xiaoqing, ah, his name is Xu Qing. Old Wei said that his grades are pretty good, so he should be in the key class, right? You know..."

Gu Shu didn't listen to what grandma Yan Suzhi said later.

It turned out that he had been so close to Xu Qing before.

But after carefully searching the scenes in his memory, he had never met Xu Qing here.

The reality is that meeting a specific person in a sea of ​​people requires a lot of luck and a lot of hard work.It is usually different from the novels, it is difficult to regain the original intention even if the crowd is ups and downs, and even if it has been missed for many years, it will be reconciled by fate.

Just like this moment.

Only then did he realize that he and Xu Qing passed by for many moments.

At the age of 17, I officially exchanged names with him.

He blinked, his dark eyelashes fluttered lightly, and he arranged the cleaned prawns on the plate. The dark red prayer beads on his left wrist showed a shadow from the cuff, "What a coincidence, he and I are classmates."

Xie Huaijin's eyes lit up, and he coughed a few times as a gesture.

Gu Shu mentioned it naturally, "My parents and I have been in Beijiang all year round. It's a good thing that grandpa wants to recognize a child."

"I remember that the piece of red sandalwood wood that I made the Buddha beads for was not used up yet, and the rest was brought back to my grandfather for storage. Why don't I take it and find someone to help me customize a gift for him."

Yan Suzhi was surprised, "Xiao Shu, we are thinking about that piece of material for your wedding when you get married and have a family."

"I'm only 17 years old, how can I get married so early?"

Gu Shu began to cut up the onion, ginger and garlic needed for fried prawns, "Grandpa accepts him, it's like I have an extra brother. It's a good gift for him."

Xie Huaijin was quite satisfied after hearing this, "Yes, yes."

He stroked his non-existent beard, "Put it on when you leave later."

Yan Suzhi picked up a chopsticks fried prawns, and ate them crunchy, "Xiao Shu, when did you learn such a good cooking skill?"

"Not bad."

She put a shrimp into Xie Huaijin's bowl, "Try Xiaoshu's cooking too."

Xie Huaijin took a sip of the wine and ate the prawns, "Let's just force it."

After hearing what he said, Yan Suzhi moved the dish, Xie Huaijin stared, "What are you doing?"

"You think it's barely enough, but I think it's delicious, so move it to my side."

Xie Huaijin half got up, moved the dish back to its original position, and put it in the middle, "I never said such a thing."

Gu Shu left the compound with the wooden box in his hands, and took a look at the building next door before leaving.

Grandpa and grandma said that Xu Qing's grandpa's house was on the fifth floor of that building.

Leaving along the way when I came here, this was originally just the courtyard where my grandparents lived for a while during the Chinese New Year, and it suddenly added a different meaning.

There are also traces of Xu Qing's life here.

During the 16 years I missed, I appeared in your life in this way, as an unknown passer-by.

But it is not without intersection.

The leaves of the banyan tree are full of dampness after the rain, overlapping each other wetly, like small green flowers blooming on the branches.

Gu Shu looked at the past, and time seemed to flow backwards at that moment. He seemed to see a hazy phantom through the misplaced time.

It was the little Xu Qing Tuanzi, obediently sitting under the banyan tree and beside the deck chair, listening to the middle-aged Xie Huaijin tell stories.

Accompanied by the chirping of cicadas in midsummer, the sound falls into dreams.

"Qingqing."

"Ok?"

Xu Qing looked at Gu Xiao in confusion. The first class in the afternoon was still 5 minutes away, and Gu Xiao had almost stepped into the classroom, with emotions in his eyes that he couldn't understand.

It was raining outside the window, Xu Qing closed the window sideways, Gu Xiao was still staring at him, "What's wrong?"

Why is it wrong to go to Grandpa's house?

Gu Xiao took a deep breath and smiled, "I know a piece of news that is neither good nor bad."

Xu Qing followed her instructions, "What news?"

"..."

Gu Xiao let himself get close, and quietly reported an address in Xu Qing's ear.

How did Gu Xiao know the address of the Wei family?

In an instant, Xu Qing understood, "Is your grandfather's house here?"

"Yes."

Gu Xiao nodded, and her hair brushed Xu Qing's tender neck skin, "Qingqing also recognizes him."

Xu Qing was stunned, Gu Xiao said this on purpose, it could only be that her grandfather mentioned her in front of her, and in the yard, apart from Wei's parents, the person she is most familiar with is Teacher Xie.

"Thank you teacher?"

Gu Xiao hummed muffledly.

Xu Qing smiled suddenly, "What a coincidence."

"Yes, what a coincidence."

Gu Xiao said softly, "But I think it's a pity."

"What a pity?"

"Why haven't I met you?"

Gu laughed and said, "Why did I meet you only now?"

She complained softly, "Obviously every New Year's day, I live for about ten days, why can't I meet you?"

If I see you, I will definitely take you away.

"..."

Xu Qing whispered: "Because..."

……and many more.

Teacher Xie...do you have a granddaughter?

Adults are not sensible when they are children, and they will not shy away from children when they speak.Xu Qing recalled every word she had spent with Teacher Xie over the years.He knew that Mr. Xie had a grandson who was in poor health. When he met Mr. Xie for the first time, Mr. Xie's grandson was notified of critical illness again.

The grandson...is Gu Shu.

He was lucky enough to meet him once during the Chinese New Year when he was nine years old.

That year Xu Jiabao was clamoring to go abroad and refused to go to Xu's family in the countryside to celebrate the New Year. Wei Zhenzhen had no choice but to bring Xu Qing to his parents' house and let them take care of them. The three of them went abroad to celebrate the New Year.

On that day, on the balcony of Wei's house, he saw Mr. Xie leading a little boy into the unit door.

Wei Zheng said that it was Mr. Xie's grandson.

Grandpa Wei Zheng and Mr. Xie are half chess friends, and occasionally tell some news about Mr. Xie's grandson at home, but never mentioned his granddaughter.

Xu Qing pressed her eyebrows, why did she feel that the relationship between Gu Xiao and her family was different from what was stated in the [book]?

It just so happens that Gu Xiao's brother is going to attend the parents' meeting tomorrow, so let's observe and observe.

"Because, maybe now is the most suitable time."

"I don't think so."

There are 2 minutes left for class, the teacher is about to come to the classroom, Gu Xiao let go of Xu Qing, "Whenever you appear in my sight, I will definitely come to you and tell you what my name is."

After this class, Ji He came over and talked about eating tomorrow.

"Invite us to dinner?"

Ji He nodded.

"Qingqing, are you going?"

"……go."

Ji He agreed, "That's right, you are the only one missing, Li Sinian and Xu Qing are both going."

"Then I'll go too."

Gu Shu looked at Xu Qing, then at Ji He.

That's weird, am I wrong with the definition of Ji Hyuk?In Xu Qing's place, isn't Ji He Li Ersan's friend?

I thought he wouldn't agree to go.

Ji He clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the three of them, "That Wednesday morning after school, the three of us can go to my house and wait. Xu Qing will come over with my parents after the parent-teacher meeting. It's perfect!"

Gu Xiao coughed lightly, "You and Li Sinian go there first, just send me the address, I'll be late."

"Hey, are you busy this afternoon?"

"Well, my brother told me after the parent meeting that I might have to come to your house later."
