looking back inadvertently

"Your family lives in...the hospital compound?" Liang He immediately thought that someone in his family worked in the hospital, and of course he had no intention of inquiring about the occupation of the other's parents.

Shen Zhe did not shy away, nodded: "My mother works in the hospital."

Liang He was a little surprised: "Your mother is a doctor?"

"No," Shen Zhe corrected, "She is the head nurse of the cardiothoracic surgery department."

"Oh." I didn't think about asking this, but I still knew about his parents' jobs.It's just that this kind of topic stopped here, and the reply Liang He could think of was "they have worked hard", and it seemed a bit silly to say it directly.

Liang He was stunned, and was about to say goodbye, when Shen Zhe muttered in a low voice: "I said why no one answered your call yesterday."

"Did you call me?"

"Well," he lifted his glasses, "I can't do it again."

"Don't you ask the teacher in the cram school?"

"I'm afraid I'll drive the teacher crazy." Shen Zhe didn't have any trace of shame on his face, he just simply stated the facts.

Isn't this person afraid of driving him crazy?Liang He was a little speechless, but he still said to his deskmate: "I'll tell you about the phone number here too."

"Okay, thank you." Shen Zhe entered the new number under Liang He's business card, then put the phone back into the bag, and wanted to cross the road to go home.

There is a four-lane road between the station and the family courtyard, blocked by a fence in the middle, and the zebra crossing passage is just at the gate of "Tianyuan", so he followed Liang He to go there.There are also many people on the road at this time, and they have moved from the bicycle lane to the sidewalk.

Walking and walking, Shen Zhe sniffed and looked around: "There is someone selling roasted sweet potatoes."

"Isn't that right in front of my house?" Liang He also saw it and was surprised. In the past few years, the sanitation environment has been rectified, and it is rare to see roasted sweet potatoes along the street. "Do you want to eat it?"

"It's a little bit, but I can't eat the whole thing." After all, they just finished dinner, "I'm afraid my mother will find out if I take it home."

"Your mother is so strict?"

"It doesn't count, she just doesn't like roadside stalls," Shen Zhe said, "If she finds out, she will nag."

None of them wore gloves.Liang He rubbed his hands, blew into his cold palms, and then said to Shen Zhe, "Then let's share."

The old man who sells sweet potatoes is still pushing the traditional charcoal stove of the past. When the lid is lifted, red glowing charcoal can be seen faintly, surrounded by sweet potatoes.The old man stretched in the long-handled iron tongs and pulled out a big one: "It's hot."

It looked hot, and the outer skin was grilled so shiny that it seemed that sugar juice flowed out. Before it was peeled off, the sweet aroma filled the nose.Liang He asked for two, one was brought back to Qin Ying, and the other was going to be shared with Shen Zhe.

"Can I have another bag?"

"No problem, take care of the child." The old man was wearing white linen gloves, and he was not very flexible when pulling the plastic bag on the handlebar. Liang He helped to pull it off.

The freshly baked sweet potatoes are very hot to the touch, but fortunately the outer skin is already crispy, so it is not difficult to tear it apart from the middle. Liang He carefully divided it into two halves, and the place where the orange-red inner flesh was exposed was continuously steaming.He put Shen Zhe's share in another bag and handed it to him.

"Let me give you the money." Because Liang He paid for it, Shen Zhe wanted to give him his share of the money.

"For a few dollars, don't give it away." The words subconsciously came out very familiar, and after looking at each other with Shen Zhe, they smiled tacitly.Shen Zhe didn't insist anymore.

The red sweet potatoes they bought are sweeter than other varieties of sweet potatoes. The area near the outer skin is a bit hard, but the center is soft and delicate as if soaked in honey.

When Liang He was a child, he loved to chew on the outer skin of sweet potatoes, because it was the most fragrant.Qin Ying repeatedly told him that the skin of the roasted sweet potato was not clean.After listening to the nagging, he finally realized that it was not good, and he began to prefer the soft inner flesh.

The two were peeling and eating at the gate of "Tianyuan". Shen Zhe didn't stay too long. After enjoying most of it, he waved to Liang He: "I'm going back."

"See you."

Liang He walked into the community with the warm bag in his hands, his palms gradually getting warmer and warmer.The hot air from the sweet potato is completely mixed with the breath from the mouth, lingering in the air.

The next night, Liang He received a call from Shen Zhe at his new home, but it wasn't about asking for advice. The other party directly asked him if he wanted to do homework together.

"It's so close, in fact, we can study together." Shen Zhe said on the phone.

Liang He didn't keep up with his rhythm: "Learn what?"

"During the day, come to my house or yours? It's convenient to ask you questions," Shen Zhe added, "It's fine if you don't want to."

"There's nothing you don't want." Liang He felt that talking on the phone is quite troublesome, it's better to face to face, and they are at the same table at school, and they are relatively harmonious during self-study together, and there is no unpleasantness, "But don't you still have to go to class? "

"It's fine in the morning," Shen Zhe suggested, "How about tomorrow?"

Liang He agreed: "To your house or to my house?"

"My house," Shen Zhe immediately replied, "There is no one in my house during the day."

"How do you say it's like having an affair?"

"Can you have an affair at your own home?" Knowing that he was playing lip service, Shen Zhe didn't care too much, "Just the two of us are more at ease."

Adults can't help asking about their health and taking care of food and drink, especially the warm-hearted person like Grandma Liang He.Shen Zhe felt embarrassed to bother the old man.

Liang He also understood what he meant, so he didn't tease much, and responded lightly, asked his house number, and hung up the phone.

When he returned to his room, there were already a few exercises spread out on the table, but the efficiency of homework was not high in the past two days, and he hardly moved.

Maybe it's time to find someone to do it with.
