time is late

Grandma has lived alone all these years, and she can't see such a young child being alone. In the end, she took him home and took good care of her.

There was no way for Cheng Xun's household registration to be in her house, so grandma could only ask her old friend to put Cheng Xun's household registration in his name.

The old friend was originally a Chinese teacher in a county primary school, and he was also a warm-hearted little old man. Unfortunately, his original partner passed away very early, and he has never been married and has no children.

After retiring a few years ago, he sold his house in the county seat and went back to his hometown in the countryside to live for the elderly. His grandmother would take Cheng Xun to visit him during the holidays.

They have already become family members, and Cheng Xun is also very sensible. He doesn't want his grandma to work too hard, so he has been working part-time in various places.

The small county town is relatively lax about the age of helpers, and Cheng Xun is tall, and he doesn't look like a minor.

In this way, although Lu Xingshu hadn't seen Cheng Xun for a long time, he had already known him completely from his grandmother's narration.

Grandma's house is an old-fashioned house facing the street, and the first floor is a small shop run by herself.

The pattern of the whole house is that the outer room is a shop, and the inner room has a small kitchen and a small dining table, which is where they eat.

Behind the door is a staircase leading to the second floor.The second floor has a layout of two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom, but they are relatively small and cramped.

Lu Xingshu's luggage was temporarily placed in the living room, and the small space with the dilapidated fabric sofa seemed to be filled.

"I have to ask about the school again... It would be best if I can go to No. [-] or No. [-] Middle School." Grandma's voice brought him back from his memories.

No. [-] Middle School is a key high school in County C, with the best teachers and students, and No. [-] Middle School is slightly inferior.Except for these two high schools, the other ordinary high schools are similar.

Cheng Xun was in the lower-middle ninth middle school. The reason why he chose this school was mainly because the ninth middle school was the closest to his home, and secondly, his grades were relatively average.

The school is just two streets away from their home, so going to school is really convenient.

Cheng Xun listened quietly to his grandmother, concentrating on eating without expressing any opinions.

No. [-] Middle School and No. [-] Middle School have always been strict in enrolling students. In Lu Xingshu's situation, he should have to retake his sophomore year of high school. If he has no connections, he basically cannot go to these two schools, even if his report card is very good.

Cheng Xun didn't know about Lu Xingshu's previous school skipping class and fighting to go to an Internet cafe. He only knew that this guy had very good grades, so he simply and rudely judged him as a good student who didn't like to talk.

To say that the only contact my grandma had with me was actually the dean of their No. [-] Middle School...

The inner room and the outer room of the small shop are separated by a glass door. When they were eating, they also pulled down the outermost roller shutter door and hung a sign saying that they were closed.

After the meal, Cheng Xun began to help clean up the kitchen and wash the dishes. Because the space is generally small, it must be kept clean, otherwise it will be prone to insects.

After packing, Cheng Xun pulled up the shutter door, and then sat at the counter to help look after the store, while grandma accompanied Lu Xingshu to the second floor to pack his luggage.

Cheng Xun had already taken out his homework book and began to write against the clock. The small electric fan placed on the counter was blowing loudly, almost blowing the homework book away.

Grandma was talking about the school while going upstairs, but Lu Xingshu had already made a decision in his heart.

"It doesn't matter what school you go to." The boy paused, his voice low, "I don't want to cause you trouble."

Grandma just laughed: "How can it be troublesome...just looking for a relationship trustee."

Naturally, Lu Xingshu knew that it would not be so easy. He thought about it, and suddenly remembered the school of Cheng Xun that his grandmother had just mentioned.

"Ninth High School is not bad." He said casually.

Grandma paused for a moment, glanced at him, then sighed and said slowly, "Ninth High School is closer to home, but the school is relatively average. Xiaoshu, you are so good at studying. It's a pity to go to Ninth High School."

"It's not very good." Lu Xingshu said truthfully, his file was full of bad deeds, he was not a good student, and the key middle schools that cared about reputation probably didn't think much of him.

Hearing what he said, grandma didn't say anything more, but felt sorry for her grandson's sensibleness.

In fact, we haven't seen each other for so many years. Grandma is also afraid of the alienation between each other, and also afraid that Lu's father and that woman will make Lu Xingshu a bad child.

But fortunately, it didn't grow crooked at all.

Obviously, like Cheng Xun, grandma only saw his report card.

I didn't expect that the relatives of Lu's father were so ruthless. There were many people who came to seek favors from relatives when the Lu family was prosperous, but now they all dispersed when something happened.

That's all, let's live a good life in the future.

After the grandmother figured it out, she quickly accompanied Lu Xingshu to pack her luggage.

He didn't bring many things, mostly clothes, and a laptop, but his grandmother's house didn't have broadband and couldn't access the Internet.

Grandma glanced at the bed in Cheng Xun's bedroom. It was a wooden single bed. It was fine for Cheng Xun to sleep on one, but now it is difficult to sleep two young men.

She looked at Lu Xingshu with some embarrassment: "Come on with Xiao Xun first, we'll buy a bunk bed after a while." She scanned the whole room, and added: "You can buy a set of desks first."

Lu Xingshu looked down at getting out of bed, then shook his head: "It's okay."

The room was small, with not much furniture, a bed was placed against the wall, and the bedside table was also very small.The desk is placed under the window, with an old-fashioned swivel chair. Looking to the side, there are bookcases and wardrobes side by side. These furniture have already filled the room to the brim.

Today, the closet is full of clothes for both.

The desk is also very old-fashioned, with an old log color, but the desk is very clean, and there are a lot of books on the desk.All the books in the bookcase are Cheng Xun's books. If you look carefully, you can find that there are more novels.

Cheng Xun was doing his homework while looking at the store. After the surveillance was installed in the small store, the situation of being stolen was much better.

Originally, the grandma planned to buy him a second-hand computer and a broadband connection with the money, but it was a pity that Cheng Xun didn't want anything.

Anyway, he can check a lot of things on his mobile phone now. If he must go online because of schoolwork, he can also go to the Internet cafe at the street corner.

Besides, the son of the owner of the Internet cafe is his friend, and there are discounts for him to surf the Internet there.

Although it is said that the teachers of Ninth Middle School are average, in Cheng Xun's opinion, the teachers are quite responsible, but the students have their own ideas. Some people just don't like to study or do homework, so you can't do anything with them.

The homework was almost done, and Cheng Xun started to put the books and homework books into the black schoolbag. Just as his grandmother led Lu Xingshu downstairs, he looked towards the stairs and accidentally met the boy's eyes.

Double inside, very shallow folds, slightly drooping dog eyes.It's a pity that with this person's naturally cold face, it seems alienated.

Subconsciously, Cheng Xun blinked at him.

He is not a person who likes to laugh, but he has a gentle and harmless face. His mild eyebrows and eyes can easily give people the illusion that he has a good temper.

Grandma picked some presents and wrapped them, then turned around and gave them a few words before going out.

Lu Xingshu also sat at the counter, next to Cheng Xun.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little silent, and no one spoke.

In the end, it was Cheng Xun who broke the silence.

"Actually, our No. [-] Middle School is not bad."

Cheng Xun made a fair evaluation of his high school, which is not Amway.

He was wearing a beige cotton T-shirt, and the fan blown his half-length black hair a little messy.

Lu Xingshu tapped his phone and replied simply: "I know."

Cheng Xun snorted, and added: "It's just that some people are not very friendly, and it's not as chaotic as they say."

It was probably a gangster or something, but Lu Xingshu didn't take it too seriously, anyway, he himself is not a good boy.

"Then do you want to repeat your sophomore year?" Cheng Xun asked again.

Cheng Xun also knew a little about Lu Xingshu's affairs, and his grandmother didn't hide the fact that he had dropped out of school.

"Yeah." The boy's answer was a little careless, and his voice was a little low.

At this moment, Cheng Xun sighed sincerely: "I've been studying until the next semester. It's a shame to suspend school. If I turn around, I have to read it again with the second year of high school. It's annoying to think about it."

"It's okay." Lu Xingshu paused, "Too many things happened during this period, and I didn't learn much at all."

Cheng Xun didn't expect him to think so openly, which was quite surprising.

The slightly warmer atmosphere quickly fell silent again, and Cheng Xun also understood that Lu Xingshu might not want to talk too much, so he didn't say anything.The two sat side by side behind the counter, and occasionally Cheng Xun greeted someone who came to buy something.

Seeing his proficient cash register, Lu Xingshu couldn't help but raise his eyelids and look at him twice more.

There are quite a few children who come to the store to buy things, clamoring for candy, and they feel that they are quite familiar with Cheng Xun.

After all, it's a neighbor in the street, and grandma's small shop has been open for a long time, so there are naturally some regular customers.

Grandma came back a bit late, but she looked happy. It seemed that Lu Xingshu's transfer to another school should be settled.

Cheng Xun secretly thought, as expected, their Ninth High School is more casual.

at night.

Lu Xingshu went to take a shower, Cheng Xun turned on the air conditioner in the room to a comfortable temperature, turned around and went to grandma's room to get a pillow.

Two big boys sleep on a 1.5-meter bed, which is indeed a bit small.

Cheng Xun was a little confused about whether to find a mat to sleep on the floor, but the floor of this old house has not been cleaned and no one can sleep on it.

After thinking for a while, he decided to go to the living room to sleep.Although the living room is smaller, there is still a fabric sofa, but it is a bit old.

It's a pity that Cheng Xun was so hot that he stood in the living room for a while.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, and it is not easy to live in an air-conditioned room.

Seeing him standing in the living room with a tangled look, grandma immediately understood his plan, and pushed him back to the room half-dozen and half-teaching.

"Oh, it's such a hot day, and there's no air conditioner outside the house, so you're going to die of heat when you sleep on the sofa?"

Air conditioner is only installed in two bedrooms.

Cheng Xun pulled the corner of his mouth in embarrassment: "I was also afraid that he would feel too crowded."
