Chen Yuechi followed Guan Rong to the side.Guan Rong leaned sideways on the window frame and looked out.Chen Yue refused to urge him, but also looked out.He remembered meeting Guan Rong here in autumn, but the memory tinged with midsummer.

"When did you learn the piano?" Guan Rong asked suddenly.

Chen Yuechi thought for a while: "I probably learned it in elementary school, or when it was about the same age as a bottle...but I haven't played it for many years. I forgot."

Guan Rong nodded: "Bottle mother likes the piano very much."

The silence after this sentence was very long, and Chen Yuechi waited earnestly, neither urging nor asking.Guan Rong seemed to be remembering something, and when he opened his mouth again, he said: "When I met Mother Bottle, she was a lady in a bar in the back street. She was a year or two older than me, and I called her Sister Min. She was good-looking, She has a good temper, has many customers, and is close to her colleagues. But at first I really found her annoying, she was too nosy."

"I've been in the backstreet for a long time, and I occasionally feel that young ladies are extremely simple in some respects. Of course there are many sophisticated people, and they have been in the society for a long time, but many people still look forward to it. Some little girls will be deceived by the chicken head, and their bodies and money will be given to others for nothing, and some girls don’t understand anything, they just think it’s fun. You can meet all kinds of people here.”

Chen Yue was a little surprised, but still didn't interrupt.Guan Rong added: "In the past, there was a little girl in their store who fell in love with a young man who came to work in the back street and became pregnant. The man wanted to run away. Sister Min woke up in the middle of the night and caught him. The little girl was still protecting her. I had no choice but to let it go. What should I do if I am pregnant with a child, and I am not married, and I was born without a father, so I have to get rid of it, but the girl is reluctant, and on the surface she promised Sister Min to make a clean break. The money goes to support the man. Sister Min didn’t persuade directly, so she found someone to watch the man, and once took the little girl directly to the hotel in the middle of the night, and put the man on the bed with another lady.”

"Later, the girl took care of the child. Sister Min told her not to do this job, and gave her money to send her to learn a craft, but she refused to listen. She continued to be a lady when her health recovered, but she broke up with Sister Min. .Now I have opened a shop in another province."

"Do you think it's right for Sister Min to meddle in other people's affairs? For this kind of sake," Guan Rong asked suddenly, "you've even managed yourself as an enemy."

Chen Yuechi was taken aback, frowned and thought for a while, then answered honestly: "I don't know, I'm not the person involved. But if I were Sister Min, I might do the same."

Guan Rong smiled and said: "She is the most interesting lady I have ever seen. She was forced to come in, but she doesn't regard the profession of being a lady as a lowly thing, but just as a job, but she is smart Very well, I also know what others think of them and how they think of them, and know that the society on the bright side cannot tolerate them, and no one can really fully accept their lives, so other people want feelings, and she has never thought about it. She She always protects others when she does this, like a bully flower that blocks everyone. She really cares about everything."

Guan Rong snapped her fingers: "It's as small as teaching people how to use safe/safety/condoms, how to deal with troublesome customers, leading people to participate in the activities of the AIDS/disease investigation team, and solving other people's emotional problems. Qian helps people avoid debts, takes in homeless people, and helps people catch rapes. Everyone in their store calls her sister, and even older ones call her sister."

"She is good at everything, but she loves to take care of things. Her family is very complicated. It used to be a bottomless pit, and she kept filling it in. Let me fight for her. She doesn't care much. She also said that I am small-minded. I No one ever said I was small-minded when I grew up so big."

"I thought she was the most sober person, but she is also confused."

Chen Yuechi suddenly felt cold, he already knew the end of the story.

"Guess it?" Guan Rong looked at him with a sideways smile, and said in a low voice, "She became pregnant later, which is even more absurd than the little girl I helped before, because she didn't fall in love at all, and she was pregnant with a guest's child. She loves I went to someone else's house, but she didn't admit it."

Guan Rong pointed his chin in the direction of the bottle: "Here."

"To sum up," Guan Rong said, "Father is not a good thing, so don't worry about it."

Chen Yue took a heavy breath.

Guan Rong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him: "What? Isn't your father a good guy?"

Chen Yuechi lowered his head and took a deep breath.Shaking his head, but not denying it.

Guan Rong understood without asking any more questions, but continued to look at the trees in the yard.They are all planted with camphor trees, which always look like that, shiny green, with old leaves turning red among them, and when the spring wind blows, the whole yard will be filled with dark red camphor leaves.

The bottle over there has practiced enough, and he put down his hands and looked at the two of them.Guan Rong asked Chen Yuechi: "Do you want to play?"

Chen Yue responded: "No...not anymore."

He watched Guan Rong walk towards the bottle, and wanted to ask Guan Rong, what about you, what kind of person are you in the backstreet?

Qingqing said that Brother Guan was from the backstreet, and Lei Ge said that there should be no one in the backstreet who didn't know Boss Guan, but the Guan Rong in front of him didn't seem to be the one people said.

The time to ask questions was fleeting, and when Guan Rong sat next to the bottle to teach him, Chen Yuechi was unable to speak again.Can't find the cutout.Guan Rong is a person who can't find a cut, unless occasionally he wants to.

After staying in the bookstore for a long time, one day the weather was sunny and not too cold, Chen Yuechi finally proposed to tidy up the things under the escalator.

"In this way, the legs can be stretched when using the computer." Chen Yuechi said.

Guan Rong was walking out at that time, glanced at the stuff stuffed behind the computer mainframe, and then looked at the small space under the computer, and said, "Okay, you have long legs, and a little more space is convenient."

Chen Yue thought to himself that you were aggrieved sitting there, why didn't you notice it?

Guan Rong was going to the Children's Palace to attend class, and passed by him: "You can clean up whatever you want, and throw away what you see. It hasn't been touched in there for a long time, and it's probably very dusty, so wear a mask."

When the people left, Chen Yue moved the computer desk while wearing a mask.He cleaned out some newspapers and magazines from behind the computer mainframe, and found that bundles of papers were piled up in a hill, and a cardboard box was buried in it.The box was tied with a rope and knotted on the surface, but the rope had not been changed for many years, and it suddenly broke when Chen Yuechi was carrying it.

The box accidentally fell to the ground, and the contents inside were scattered all over the floor.

There are old things, there are papers that have been glued, a few periodicals, and some newspaper notebooks.What attracted Chen Yuezhi's attention was a stack of photos, postcards, and envelopes with faint handwriting.

He swore he didn't mean to look at it, but the photos were scattered on the ground, making it difficult to see the people on them.It's Guan Rong.

I don't know if it was Guan Rong from a few years ago, but he looks similar to now, but he is obviously still very student-like.Although the expression is very light, it is not as careless as it is now.There is another person beside him, who looks younger, maybe about the same age as the current Chen Yuechi, but his energetic appearance is much more flamboyant than Chen Yuechi's.

Chen Yue was a little flustered, he hastily wiped the ashes off the box, and wanted to pack the things back, and in the process, he saw several photos of these two people one after another.

Those postcards were originally stacked in a stack, but after a long time and absorbing moisture, the edges curled up a bit.The uppermost one was stirred up by the movement, and the words on the back were exposed in front of Chen Yuechi.

He just glanced over it inadvertently, and he had a panoramic view of all the contents above.

The letter on the postcard was "Rong", signed "Ke", and the content in the middle was also very simple - "Missing".

Chen Yuechi squatted on the ground, and the sun shone from behind him, causing pain in the back of his neck.He found it a little inconceivable that the sun in winter could have such a temperature.
