Chapter 35 (1/2)
Hearing this, the book read a moment of dull, thinking of his words, blankly asked: ”so you remember wrong, today is not new year's Eve, is Valentine's day?”
As if afraid of her anger, Xie Ruhe's voice slightly lowered: ”well.”
Shunian was relieved: ”isn't it necessary to keep watch for the new year?”
”Well.”
”Then I'll go to bed.”
“……”
Shunian lay back on the bed and noticed that he didn't speak. She explained in a low voice, ”I'm too sleepy. I'll call you another day. You go to bed early, too. ”
Did not expect to get such a response, Xie Ruhe silence for a few seconds.
“…… Good
I haven't fallen asleep so early since I've been studying for a long time. Maybe I lived in my father's room, surrounded by familiar and practical atmosphere, as if I could still hear my father's hearty laughter.
I had a good sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn.
The curtain does not block the light. In winter, the warm sunshine comes in from the outside, and the light spot covers the ground.
I could hear my grandparents talking at a low volume outside, as if they were afraid of waking her up. I don't know from which bed comes the sound of dogs crowing, children's frolicking, the sound of bicycle bells.
It's the sound of the morning.
He got up to change his clothes and went to the toilet to wash.
Grandparents have been awake for some time. At this time, one is sitting on a wooden chair reading a newspaper, the other is wearing presbyopia glasses and doing handicrafts. One is talking without the other.
The book read obediently called a person, then selfishly went to the kitchen to install a bowl of porridge. She drank porridge in silence, because she had just woken up, her head was still a little dizzy, but she was in good spirits.
The spirit of the two old people is also very good, and occasionally they mix their mouths.
This kind of feeling is actually very good. It's much better than living alone in that lonely little house. You don't have to be afraid, and you won't feel scared and uneasy because of some small things.
During the period, Deng Qingyu called her and explained a few words. They said they would not come to have new year's Eve dinner with them. They would come later.
The new year's Eve dinner in Shiyan town is early.
After a nap, my grandparents went into the small kitchen and began to cook. Shunian accompanied them, talking with a smile and taking a few bites from time to time.
It's new year's Eve, and most of the stores on the street are closed. The ingredients were bought early in the morning and piled up all over the refrigerator. Because of the arrival of the book, the two old people prepared more.
Almost ready, there was a knock on the door.
At this time, the two old men were too busy to open their hands. Shunian took the initiative to go over: ”I'll open the door.”
Grandma Shu murmured at the back, ”who will be this time?”
Shunian opened the door and there was a man standing outside.
She only met yesterday. She is the man who has been following Aunt Chen and coaxing her to go home, Aunt Chen's son.
The man's hand carrying a basket of fruit, toward her smile: ”is the book read?”
Shunian nodded: ”hello.”
The man didn't come in, handed her the fruit basket and said, ”I haven't come to thank you all the time. If it wasn't for you, now...”
Before he finished his words, the book grandfather suddenly interrupted him: ”read.”
Shunian turned back: ”what's the matter?”
Book grandfather said: ”you go to the convenience store outside, help grandfather buy a bottle of drink back.”
The book read Oh, cleverly asked: ”what kind of drink?”
”Buy a bottle of orange juice.”
”Good.” Shunian was very obedient. He picked up his coat on the sofa and nodded to the man. ”I'll go out and talk to you.”
The man obviously didn't know the situation. He looked at shunian's back and scratched his head: ”Book grandfather, I haven't finished my words yet...”
”I know. I took your mind for Niannian. Later -- ”grandfather Shu sighed,” you'd better not mention it in front of her. She doesn't like to hear it. ”
Grandparents' house is near Shiyan junior high school.
It takes about five minutes for shunian to walk to the convenience store next to the school. At this time, almost no one can be seen on the street. Occasionally, a wild cat can be seen running by.
Shunian walked into the convenience store with a warm breath.
The only shop on the street is still open.
Shunian opens the freezer, takes out a large bottle of orange juice and pays at the front desk. The shopkeeper was no longer the middle-aged woman who had a kind smile, but a tall and thin man.
It looks a little familiar. I can't remember who it is after reading the book.
The man took the machine to scan the bar code, eyebrows a lift, surprised: ”read?”
Read subconsciously to see him: ”you are?”
The man smiles, reaches out his hand and rubs her head: ”don't you recognize me?”
It's a very familiar movement.
Reading subconsciously back a few steps, look with a bit of defense.The man's hand stops in the air, but does not mind too much: ”the courage becomes so small?”
Because of his action, his breath became a little short, holding the hem of his clothes, staring at his face, and gradually coincided with a figure in his mind.
She swallowed and whispered, ”sister?”
The man's posture was enchanting, and he made a move to pull his hair: ”hum.”
“……”
It's the son of a convenience store aunt.
That always likes to wear women's clothes, because this brother is always chased by his aunt for three blocks. At that time, shunian came to this store to buy things. He liked to tease her and asked her to call his sister.
At the beginning of reading, I didn't like it very much. I think this person is very strange.
I get used to it.
”When did you come back?” He no longer wore women's clothes as before, and his hair was cut short, which made him a bit more heroic. The man asked with a smile: ”I haven't seen you for a long time”
shunian said: ”I came back yesterday.”
The man did not ask again, pointed to the bottle of orange juice: ”this seven.”
