a certain Zheng Kexin

Chapter 5 Xu Niannian

The bathroom is directly opposite the entrance. Two bedrooms are arranged on both sides of the bathroom, one on the left and one on the right.

The second bedroom is in the north, separated from the living room by a wall. In the living room, besides the sofa, coffee table and TV, there is also a refrigerator. It is not big, but it is enough for two or three people.

Zheng Kexin's home is twice as big as this one, and the lighting in the living room is better. However, because Sheng Yun will occupy the living room in the future, Zheng Kexin never wanders in the living room. .

"Small is a bit small, but the houses near the school are like this, and we rented it too late, so we didn't choose a good one."

Hearing her father's explanation, Zheng Kexin shook her head. The small living room in front of her was decorated in warm colors, with yellow and white furniture dotted with green. Although the area was small, it was clean and tidy. Both the color scheme and the layout were better than her home. A lot of warmth.

There is a very faint scent of soap in the air - it feels more like home.

The second bedroom has good lighting. Except that the bed is a circle smaller than the master bedroom, other facilities are the same as the master bedroom. There are matching bookcases on the desk, air conditioners and bedside tables are new. Although no one has lived there for a long time, there are no windowsills and grounds The dust passed through the wind ahead of time, and the air was very fresh. It should be because another resident cared about it and helped clean it up.

Zheng Kexin rested for a while, threw the coarse cloth used to cover the dust into the bathroom, and began to tidy up the sheets and pillowcases. Zheng Shupei couldn't help, so he paced around the kitchen and living room a few times, went back to the second bedroom and said to Zheng Kexin: Is there any money left?"

Zheng Kexin let out a "huh".

She doesn't chase stars, doesn't fall in love early, doesn't eat much, and doesn't spend much. Although Su Yingyu turned over the lucky money every year and saved it as college tuition, but fortunately, she spends less and has enough living expenses. After getting to know Ning Zhi, a little money fanatic I was also infected with the habit of saving money, leaving a considerable small coffers over the years.

Realizing that she didn't talk too much, Zheng Kexin added another sentence: "I didn't bring the toiletries from home, so my mother gave me five hundred more, and asked me to buy it myself."

Zheng Shupei sat back on the sofa: "There is a shopping mall near here. Dad will take you there after cleaning up."

"No need." Zheng Kexin deftly folded the pillow in half and stuffed it into the pillowcase, stretched out the sheet, stepped back from the bed and began to tidy up the desk, "It's too hot at noon, I'll go by myself when it cools down at night, and get familiar with the environment by the way. It is also convenient to buy things in the future.”

Zheng Shupei persisted for a while: "It's not safe for girls to go out at night. If you don't have anything, tell Dad, and Dad will buy it for you."

"Don't." Zheng Kexin waved his hand, "Girls' things are troublesome. I will go out when it gets cold at six or seven o'clock. In summer, it is dark and late, and the light is still on at that time."

After Zheng Shupei left, Zheng Kexin guarded the last bit of luggage and sat still on the sofa for 10 minutes.

She urged her dad to leave. On the one hand, she knew that going to the hospital in the middle of the night would not stop. She hoped that her dad would go back to sleep well during the weekend and relieve the red blood in his eyes and the two bruises. too tired.

After all, her father is not a vigorous young man in his 20s, but a middle-aged man in his 40s, who can bear such a traumatic ordeal.

On the other hand, she is worried that if her father continues to sit here, the grievance and resentment in her heart will be drawn out to get in the way. People are prone to emotional agitation in hot summer, and she hasn't slept well for days. Don't be ashamed cry out.

Knowing that they are all tenants, but the more cozy the house is, the more she feels like an outsider.

Although she is not a lively and cute personality, Zheng Kexin is also a normal girl who eats grains and speaks human language in front of her parents.Once she realized that her emotions were not right, she pushed everyone out and retreated to her own safe place. Her five senses degenerated into a plant, and she accompanied herself and competed with herself.

She sat silently on the sofa, looked at the unfamiliar floor tiles in front of her, and thought very calmly: "Perhaps Sheng Yunming will die soon, a person in his 80s should run faster than tomorrow by accident. "

Holding this hope, Zheng Kexin closed the curtains, turned down the air conditioner, wrapped herself in a towel, and fell asleep in the dark.

It was rare for her to sleep peacefully. When she woke up, it was already dark. Her brain finally hoped for a safe environment and refused to work. Zheng Kexin lay on the bed with her eyes closed for 10 minutes before her body moved as if the anesthesia had failed.

When her wrist touched the bedside table with the wrong texture, she opened her eyes to realize it.

This is not my home anymore.

There was a sound of pots and bowls colliding outside the door, no one spoke, it seemed that they knew that Zheng Kexin was asleep and lowered his voice, but Fan Xiang uncontrollably got in through the crack of the door.

Zheng Kexin sniffed, the other tenants were very good at craftsmanship, this smell made her greedy, and her stomach made an uncontrollable "grunt", reminding her that the small bowl of porridge in the morning had already been digested, and now she is empty, lonely and cold, need food.

She took a sip of the cold water on the table, didn't go out, didn't turn on the light, and lay back on the bed with the hunger that was diluted by the cold water, ignoring the protest of her dying stomach.

This is just a small house of fifty or sixty square meters. Excluding the two bedrooms, the kitchen is enough for two people to work at most. If you want to eat, you can only move things to the coffee table in the living room.

From Zheng Kexin's room to the kitchen, there will inevitably be parents and children who are eating in the living room, and there will inevitably be a regular conversation when they meet for the first time.

Zheng Kexin is not stage-frightened, but she hasn't figured out how to explain the fact that she is not accompanied by her parents.

And from her room to the gate, you will still pass the living room. Seeing her go out to buy food so late, the parents of that family will probably invite her to have dinner together. Zheng Kexin has just accepted the setting of leaving home alone, and can't accept the excitement of other people's homes for a while. Scenes.

Besides, at night, it might be difficult for her to find something to eat even if she goes out smoothly.

Just like that, she got awkward, and simply lay down in a broken pot, thinking that she would sleep until tomorrow morning, and she hadn't been hungry for 24 hours. The limit of human beings is not so low, and she can't die of starvation.

I endured this for 10 minutes, and the cold water poured into my stomach stimulated some nerves. It was just my stomach throbbing from hunger, so Zheng Kexin had no choice but to turn off the air conditioner, and curled up on the bed to relieve the pain. After lying down for about a quarter of an hour, the movement outside the door stopped.

Maybe that one went back to the room.

As soon as this thought came out, the light under the door went out immediately.

Zheng Kexin couldn't stand up, she pushed the door open while touching the wall in cold sweat, went to the water dispenser to get a cup of warm water, she was wondering which of the stomach medicines she brought would be able to fight hunger, when her gaze suddenly fell to the fruit plate on the coffee table .

Compared to the morning, there was one less orange on the plate. After struggling for a while, she sat down and took a small fragrant pear.

Su Yingyu has the appearance of a virtuous and beautiful woman. Although Zheng Shupei's family fortune fell in the later stage and he did not keep Pian Pian's family background, he still kept the son's upright appearance. One plus one is not less than two. Zheng Kexin inherited the excellent genes of his parents, even if he is dumb It is also a good-looking bonsai as a plant.

She has strong innate advantages, and she has never been short of people to chase her since she was a child. Every year, some festivals that are not suitable for children can always receive a bunch of lollipops and chocolates.

She doesn't eat things from outsiders, maybe because she has heard too many old sayings, she always feels that cannibalism is short-sighted, and she has to pay back after eating.

But now he was really hungry, Zheng Kexin struggled for a while, then reached out to take an apple.

The fruit on the plate has been bubbling by the air conditioner for a day, and it is also cold. Eating it will not make your stomach feel too comfortable. "Cold" can't cure it, but it can always cure "emptiness and loneliness". Zheng Kexin sat on the sofa in the dark, looking like a little mouse. Just after taking two bites, he heard the doorknob turn behind him, and then the light in front of the bathroom door was turned on.

Xu Niannian wore a white cotton and linen nightdress, and stood between the two bedrooms with a small watering can. She met Zheng Kexin's eyes and curled her mouth, and said in a clean voice, "You're awake."

Zheng Kexin didn't care about finding a house. Zheng Shupei came to ask her what she thought, but she only said that she wanted a house close to the school, and didn't mention anything else.

Most of the parents who accompany the students are unwilling to share the rent with others. Firstly, it is inconvenient, and secondly, they are afraid that another family’s children will affect their own children. Therefore, the entire rented house in the rental house is a hot commodity, and it is impossible to find it at this time.

Zheng Kexin was ready to rent together, thinking that no matter what age the girl is, as long as she is quiet, she can accept it, so she didn't ask any questions about it. She just remembered that her father said that she was a senior in high school.

It’s not too amazing to think about it. There are only so many senior high school students in total, and there are out-of-town accompanying students in each class, but the total number is only a few dozen. The probability of meeting classmates in your own class is higher than the probability of rain in July and August.

Zheng Kexin: "Aren't you from Lincheng?"

Xu Niannian: "I thought you were going to sleep until tomorrow morning."

The two spoke at the same time, Zheng Kexin paused, subconsciously allowing time for the other party to answer first, and heard Xu Niannian say: "No, I have a blue seal account."

Zheng Kexin suddenly remembered the enrollment statistics sheet that Wen Yu had seen, arranged according to the first letter of pinyin, Xu Niannian's name was next to his own name, and it was above his own name.

This shows that Xu Niannian also belongs to Xu Zhong.

Just thinking about this, I heard Xu Niannian continue to say: "I followed my mother to Lincheng when I was in junior high school, and later the personnel transfer transferred my mother back. My mother thought that the college entrance examination scores here were low, so she left my student status. Here it is."

After saying this, Xu Niannian went into the bathroom to fill up the watering can in his hand, and then returned to the room with the watering can. Zheng Kexin held up the half-bitten apple, looked in through the opened door, and found that there was no one else in the room .

I have to admit that "they are the same people who have fallen in the end of the world" will make people feel better than "the excitement is all theirs".

Xu Niannian raised a row of small flowers on the balcony. After watering the flowers, she put the kettle back in the bathroom. She raised her hand and turned on the small lights on the top of the living room. Seeing Zheng Kexin holding an apple, she asked softly, "Are you hungry?"

Zheng Kexin subconsciously said "no".

It's a pity that she can only show off with her mouth. After being hungry for a day and stuffed with a pile of cold water and cold fruits, Zheng Kexin shuddered when she heard someone greet her suddenly, regardless of the three seven and twenty one.

Xu Niannian's voice is very sweet, with a hint of obedience, she speaks in a soft voice, her voice is a little like a child's, and people listening to her always feel that she is the younger one.

She pushed the fruit plate aside, went into the kitchen and turned on the light, opened the cabinet to look, put a spoonful of noodles into the bowl, and asked: "There are no more noodles, let me make you a bowl of pimple soup, are there any taboos?" ?”

Eating other people's fruit is already an exception. Even though he is a classmate, there is no reason for someone to cook for himself in the middle of the night. Zheng Kexin waved his hand: "No need."

The stomach is connected to the mouth, and she refuses to talk nonsense, and immediately jumps on the spot when she hears this, and she is very happy.

Xu Niannian looked obedient, but actually couldn't listen. Zheng Kexin's refusal was ignored again. As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Niannian quickly boiled water and turned the noodles into batter.

"No more tomatoes, how about spinach?"

Zheng Kexin had no room to refuse, so she nodded: "Okay."

There was a rush of heat from the small kitchen.

Boil the water, stir the gnocchi in the bowl and put it in the pot, wait for two to three minutes, put the washed and cut spinach, wait for another minute, pour a beaten egg, add salt and sesame oil, and take out the pot.

The house was filled with the smell of food, and Zheng Kexin's stomach, nose and mouth wanted to rebel at this moment, go to a good master, and grow up with Xu Niannian.

Seeing Xu Niannian turn off the fire, Zheng Kexin immediately stood up and stepped forward, took the spoon in her hand, and said cautiously: "Please, let me do it."

Ordinary girls are not usually so polite. Seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school girls can talk about friendship hand in hand to go to the toilet. It is a pity that Zheng Kexin is not good at getting close to others. The friends around him have been very fixed for so many years. I can count on my hands.

If you think about it seriously, those friends still came to make friends with her on their own initiative. Although she is not a wooden pile, she is always used to being polite and polite in front of unfamiliar people, which is somewhat embarrassing.

"Actually, you don't have to be too polite..." The kitchen was too hot and sweated all over, Xu Niannian turned on the air conditioner in the living room, thinking of Zheng Kexin's stomachache, he turned it off again.

Zheng Kexin drank the pimple soup silently, and heard her say: "I have rented a house since I was in junior high school, and my mother is busy with work, so I often cook for myself—uncle...your father told me the other day that you came I am very happy to rent together, after all, we are classmates, we will live together in the future, and we will take care of each other if there is anything, you don't have to be so polite."

Zheng Kexin nodded, and after drinking the pimple soup, he got up and cleaned the dishes without any politeness, and sent Xu Niannian who wanted to help out of the kitchen, not letting her interfere, and cleaned up the floor and the stove by himself.

Obviously, she just slept all afternoon, but this night, Zheng Kexin became sleepy uncontrollably as soon as she touched the pillow. This sleepiness came so easily, it was unimaginable for her who slept in odd hours.

It only took three seconds from lying down to falling asleep, Zheng Kexin thought of one thing during these three seconds.

"Go shopping tomorrow, but remember to buy vegetables."

To pay off the debt.

The author has something to say: Xiao Tianwen, it will start to be sweet, don't worry too much.
