two

After Yuan Cha finished his task yesterday, he was looking forward to Yuan Mu's return all afternoon.

On Wednesday, Xu Yiqing, who lived in the opposite building, came to chat with Fang Qiong at home, and said that he wanted to ask Yuan Mu to make up lessons.

Her family's Qiu Xi has just finished the high school entrance examination, and her score is still high enough to reach No. [-] middle school. She is afraid that Qiu Xi will not be able to keep up with the first year of high school after entering school, and also afraid that the whole summer vacation will be wasted... Fang Qiong didn't wait for Xu Yiqing to continue laying the groundwork, she was very refreshing , without blinking an eyelid to respond.

"I said it's a big deal, why don't they call Xiaoxi over when their school is on holiday."

"Mom, brother hasn't come yet."

Yuan Cha, who was listening, was in a hurry, not to mention that Yuan Mu was about to enter the critical period of her third year of high school, and because her brother didn't like making trouble, she decided that she was not willing to take the job.

Fang Qiong: "I know, I will tell him when he comes."

As soon as the words were finished, Yuan Mu happened to come home from school, and just as he opened the door, Yuan Cha hurried up to recount the matter and ask the person concerned for their opinions.

Yuan's wooden shoes were halfway off, and when he learned that the summer vacation arrangement was about to be disrupted, for some reason, he opened his mouth but was still unable to speak.

Seeing that he turned his back and said nothing, Xu Yiqing thought he was upset, so he patched up and said, "Auntie, let's help you recruit a few more people. Teaching one is teaching, and teaching a group is also teaching. How much do you receive each month?" Hundreds, dozens of days will be a few thousand."

The subject changed, and he smiled attentively, "But it also depends on whether you have time. If it doesn't delay your business, I will send you an advertisement tomorrow, how about it?"

Yuan Mu thought about the reason.

It may be because of boredom, but nodding and obedience are his instincts, and the inconsistency between the heart and the mouth prevents the brain nerves from reaching the mouth unimpeded.

Yuan Mu felt that this temporary self-dissection made sense, and also found it a little funny.

Just as he continued to laugh, he turned around and asked, "Which subject does Qiu Xi want to make up?"

In fact, he had the idea of ​​supplementing the subjects, but when Yuan Mu asked this, Xu Yiqing was embarrassed to speak directly, and just said: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Yuan, you can choose which subject you think is easier to supplement, sister Qiu Xi All subjects are almost under the fire."

Fang Qiong pretended to be angry: "Oh, let's make up all of them. It's okay. My Yuan'er is good at all subjects."

Xu Yiqing laughed: "I can't wait! Of course I know that Yuan'er is omnipotent, but I mainly think that he doesn't have time, and it would take too much time and effort to make up everything."

"We have been neighbors for more than ten years, and you are still polite to me."

Fang Qiong pressed her lips in the direction of her son, "Then see what Yuan Er said."

Fang Qiong passed a microphone with his eyes, and Yuan Mu spoke at the right time: "Mrs. Xu, you don't have to worry about recruiting students for me. There are too many people and it won't work. I will concentrate on teaching Qiu Xi and try to teach her in every subject."

"Ouch."

The two women looked at each other in relief, Xu Yiqing patted his thigh, "You're so sensible, how did you teach me?"

"Be good since childhood."

Fang Qiong was delighted, and stopped Yuan Mu who was walking towards the bedroom, "Yuan Er, why don't you just show my sister her English together?"

She said to Xu Yiqing, "It just so happens that the two girls are companions, so learning is less boring and stressful."

"it is good."

This time he became proficient, Yuan Mu answered quickly.

There were no mistakes, and there may not be any in the future.

The more Xu Yiqing watched it, the more he liked it: "It's really obedient. My family's Qiu Yu, the older he gets, the more eccentric his temper is. With your family being one-tenth as good as I am, I'd burn incense with the feet of a Bodhisattva."

"I remember he was very good when he was a child."

Fang Qiong stopped bringing the topic to Yuan Mu, and continued, "Hey——it's not a popular saying now that every child has puberty, it's normal."

"What, then I don't see Yuan'er has this—"

The whole living room was filled with the sound of their talking and laughing. The door lock of the room had been unlocked, but Yuan Mu stopped.

"Miss Xu."

He turned his head to call people, the volume was neither loud nor low, without ups and downs.

"Then ask him to come too."

The three stopped to look at him, their faces blank.

"Yuan Er mean Qiu Yu?" Xu Yiqing caught up with the conversation first, "His big Buddha can't be invited, you can just teach the two younger sisters, they listen to you.

Thank you Yuaner. "

Originally, she was talking to Yuan Mu, but she immediately shook her head towards Fang Qiong, frowning and pursing her lips, asking another mother to empathize with her pain: "I don't want to think about this for him now, for nothing. .”

The two of them broke up their parents' short stories, and chatted enthusiastically again.

Yuan Mu returned to his room and sat cross-legged by the bed.

The curtains on the inner layer are light gauzes to prevent mosquitoes. He opened his eyes and looked for a while, but the balcony on the third floor opposite was always empty.

Someone knocked on the door.

In this family, only Yuan Cha would knock on the door of his room, Fang Qiong never entered directly, and Yuan Gaopeng never entered.

Yuan Mu got out of bed and opened the door, the gap was only big enough for him to stand on.

"what's up?"

"Brother, do you want brother Qiu Yu to come to make up lessons?"

It was the first time Yuan Mu heard someone put him and Qiu Yu in the same sentence, and felt a little strange.

Yuan Cha continued, "I can try to invite him here."

Yuan Mu asked, "Is that all you need?"

Yuan Cha nodded vigorously and looked at him earnestly.

"No thanks."

"I have a very good relationship with Qiu Xi. If I can't invite her, I will invite Qiu Xi to find her brother with me."

Thinking that Yuan Mu had no confidence in her, Yuan Cha hastily added.

"I just said it casually."

"I'm not--"

Yuan Cha couldn't figure it out. She knew that Yuan Mu wouldn't just say it casually. A person with a strict inner order has always had evidence for his words and deeds.

Although she didn't know what the basis was for this time, she was sure that this was Yuan Mu's one of the few times to reveal what he wanted in front of people.

"If I invite brother Qiu Yu here, can you, try not to say 'thank you' to me again, brother."

Yuan Cha had no choice but to explain his intentions in detail.

Across a wall, Fang Qiong and Xu Yiqing were discussing the embarrassment of Yuan Cha's 3-year-old riding a bicycle into a coal pile.

Yuan Mu looked down at Yuan Cha from above, and listened to his mother's narration of the whole process in silence, vividly and with great interest.

A laugh is about to break out.

Yuan Mu closed the door.

He didn't expect Yuan Chazhen to go later.

Yuan Mu came back with injuries all over his body, and met Yuan Cha sitting on the stairs in front of his house. As soon as he saw him, he jumped up cheerfully and asked for credit: "I'm going to tell Brother Qiu Yu! He said he would think about it!"

She is always so heartless.

The summer torrential rain had beaten him into a mess and exhaustion, and water was still dripping from his trousers, running down his socks and soaking into the insoles of his sneakers.

In the darkness, Yuan Mu didn't move, and asked, "What else did you say?"

Yuan Cha's inflated balloon was half deflated, and he wrinkled his nose: "There's nothing worth talking about.

Brother Qiu Yu, hey, he said five sentences to me, four of which were question marks, and I answered whatever he asked.

If you asked him what I said, he might be able to say one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. "

Yuan Mu seemed to be smiling, and Yuan Cha heard a faint breath.

"Did you mention me?"

Yuan Cha shook his head resolutely: "No, Brother Qiu Yu asked who told me to go, and I didn't say anything!"

Yuan Mu wanted to go in to get money from the drawer in the bedroom, and opened Yuan Cha's umbrella to hang on the shoe rack. He said, "If you haven't eaten dinner, let's make noodles. There are ready-made saozi in the refrigerator. I'll go to the hospital. "

With the help of the light, Yuan Cha realized that something was wrong. The water on Yuan Mu's forehead seemed not to be rain, but drops of sweat.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Yuan Mu said that he had to go to the hospital for a broken hand, and it was quite calm, but Yuan Cha, who had never been in any trouble, froze all over, muttering "it's okay, it's okay", and beat him around a few times in a daze Turn around, and suddenly run away.

She said: "Brother, wait for me here, I will go to the store to find my mother!"

It's really not worth mobilizing people, Yuan Mu wanted to stop her, saying that he could do it by himself, but when he walked slowly to the stairs, he really stood and waited for a long time.

He thought, on the way to the hospital, he might be able to tell Fang Qiong that the pen she brought him to the stationery store for the first time was lost today.

How should Fang Qiong react?Will you take him to buy another one?

Unfortunately, after a long time, Yuan Cha came back alone.

This was also what Yuan Mu expected, so he wasn't very surprised. After confirming that there was no one behind Yuan Cha, he walked out of the stairs and asked her to go home first.

But Yuan Cha looked much sadder than him: "Brother..."

The arm was so sore, it caused the various organs and musculature to spasm over and over again.

Yuan Mu's head was in a daze, and he had only one thought: that can only be placed on Wang Chengxing, he promised that he would try his best to find exactly the same one.

There was still light rain outside, Yuan Cha asked Yuan Mu to wait for her, and she ran upstairs to get an umbrella.

This time Yuan Mu did not say thank you, he was nowhere to be seen when he came downstairs.

My hands were covered with dust from the railing, my shoelaces were untied, and there were many mud spots on my trousers.

Yuan Cha didn't understand that both Yuan Gaopeng and Fang Qiong would get up in the middle of the night to take her to the hospital for minor illnesses like cough and diarrhea, let alone a severed hand?Mom actually said that she is very busy now.

Very busy!

The fruit shop was closed early, but the business on the mahjong table was booming.

very busy...

Maybe it's because she feels that Yuan Mu is pitiful, or maybe it's because she knows that she will never be able to change the fact that Yuan Mu will always hate her.

Yuan Cha stood alone for a long while, then squatted down, and burst into tears holding the long umbrella that was still dripping in his arms.
