Chapter 42: Sadness is uncontrollable

Zheng Lijuan, who tossed and turned all night, fell asleep in the early hours of the morning in an irresistibly thick sleep, and Liu Jianjian, who got up early, couldn't bear to be bothered, and carefully and quietly got dressed. The latch was still plugged in, and he walked to the bedroom of "Brother Ghost" in surprise, and the snoring on the bed rumbled, making him shake his head and smile shallowly. Gently opened the door and went to the workshop early.

The messy footsteps of the neighbors who went out to work in the alleys have calmed down, the sound of birds that wake up like an alarm bell in the morning has also disappeared, the sound of bellows from far and near has choked, and the smoke has been scattered in the rising sun.

Zhang Guoqiang got up early, rode a renovated Type 28 weighted bicycle, and passed by the processing workshop to find Liu Jianshe first. Liu Jianshe took him for a tour, and the only senior brother also greeted each other, recognized each other, and then said goodbye first. Standing on the stone bridge, watching the birds and birds flying, the wild dogs chasing and running back and forth on the riverbank, the goats idly and comfortably sucking the tender grass soaked in the morning dew, the stretch and freedom, full of freshness and refreshment - the "ghost brother" who runs in the morning in memory will definitely appear on the riverbank, but everything is self-righteous and unbelievable.

Wandering into the alley, into the yard, everything is still in the rare "late riser" of "Brother Ghost", and in the deep sleep - the sun is already shining in the yard, Zhang Guoqiang climbed on the window, and the figure on the bed was faintly visible through the window screen, shouting: Brother Ghost - Brother Ghost -

Zhang Guoqiang saw the figure on the bed squirming slightly, and then shouted: Brother Ghost - Brother Ghost - Aren't you running now? After speaking, "Brother Ghost" opened his eyes, looked out of the window with sleepy eyes, and the huge black figure in the sunlight was stunned for a while, sat up with a "bang", suddenly woke up, and said in a panic: Brother Qiang—what time is it—is it late?"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the alarm clock, and couldn't help but let out an "ah" - quickly pulled his clothes and got dressed and went to the ground. opened the door, looked at Zhang Guoqiang embarrassedly, and said a little sulkingly: What's the matter—it's all this time? While it was time to wash, Zhang Guoqiang asked in wonder: Aren't you running in the morning now?

"Brother Ghost" poked out his head buried in the basin, with water droplets on his face, and said ashamedly: Run-keep running--I got up early this morning for no reason! As she was talking, Zheng Lijuan walked out of the door, with obvious saliva marks on the corners of her mouth, and looked at the two of them with a mun face, and her words became more blurred overnight, and she said something to the two expressionlessly, "Brother Ghost" didn't hear it clearly, and said "um-" in wonder, and walked unkempt into the alley.

"Brother Ghost" finished washing, pushed out the bicycle, and was about to set off, Zheng Lijuan came back with a smile, talking to herself, "Brother Ghost" asked: Aunt - what's wrong with you - where are you going? Zheng Lijuan glanced at him, still ignored her, just said to herself: Cook - cook - "Brother Ghost" said to her again: Aunt - it's too late - I won't eat - you cook for the two of you!

Zheng Lijuan still didn't have any reaction to his words, "Brother Ghost" straddled the bicycle and watched her slowly walk into the kitchen, Zhang Guoqiang also asked in wonder: Brother Ghost - what's wrong with Auntie? "Brother Ghost" frowned, looked at him in surprise, and said: Maybe I slept late last night, I haven't woken up yet, I'm confused - it's okay, let's go quickly!

"Brother Ghost" pricked up his ears to listen to the movement in the kitchen as he spoke, looked back, kicked his foot, and the two disappeared from the alley. As the sun rises, so does the temperature, and the sun on my back has begun to burn like pins. When he arrived at the bookstore, the boss also looked at him in surprise, and the "ghost brother" said ashamedly: Boss - I'm sorry, I'm late!

I thought you weren't coming today--Teacher Zhang from the city called you just now, and there was a teacher Zhao from Shangwan Town Middle School who told you to go to him in the afternoon! The boss looked at the notepad next to the phone and told "Brother Ghost" one by one. After listening, before they could introduce Zhang Guoqiang to the boss, the two took a break, loaded two sets of sample books in their backpacks, took two agreements and receipts, and went out. As soon as he walked to the door, the boss shouted, throwing a bottle of water for each of them, and the "ghost brother" smiled, turned around and walked towards the city.

Zhang Guoqiang walked to the main street with him and took the initiative to say: "Brother Ghost, if you go to find Teacher Zhang, I don't have to go with you!" "Brother Ghost" thought for a while and said: "It's okay, let's arrange it this way, I'll go to the city first, and we'll meet here at 1 o'clock at noon!" Zhang Guoqiang smiled happily and said: Yes -- as long as you don't see the teacher!

That's okay, Brother Qiang, don't be in a hurry to go, wait for me for a while! After speaking, "Brother Ghost" stepped into the car and dodged and rushed out of the middle of the city. Zhang Guoqiang moved the car to the shade of the tree, squatted on the edge of the road, and accepted the strange eyes of pedestrians. With a cigarette, the "ghost brother" rushed back at a gallop, and the car stopped in front of him with a "creak". Zhang Guoqiang stood up, walked up to him, "Ghost Brother" looked around alertly, took out a paper bag from his bag, handed it to Zhang Guoqiang, and said: You take it first, if it's not enough, you can talk about it!

After listening, Zhang Guoqiang had already guessed the contents of the paper bag, and before he could refuse, the "ghost brother" had already stuffed the paper bag into his arms, turned the car and went straight to the city. He stood at the door and called softly twice, "Teacher Zhang-" The curtain was lifted with the sound, and Teacher Zhang saw "Brother Ghost" and happily let him into the house.

"Brother Ghost" glanced around, and Teacher Zhang was the only one. Teacher Zhang sat at the table in front of the window, still busy writing something in his hand, and said: Brother Ghost, sit casually, I'll be fine right away! "Brother Ghost" sat lightly on the chair against the wall, and Teacher Zhang asked while cleaning up the books on the table: Have you checked the results, how is it?

"Brother Ghost" replied calmly: "Checked, 638 points!" Teacher Zhang looked at him excitedly and said: It's okay, how do you feel that you are not excited, not excited?

Yes, it's okay, but if you have to refer to last year's admission score line, I will be considered a failure!" "Ghost brother" looked at Teacher Zhang and expressed his worries. Teacher Zhang saw the anxiety in the eyes of the "ghost brother", and said calmly: This year is the first year of enrollment expansion, and the score line will definitely be lower than last year's, so you don't have to worry!

"Brother Ghost" smiled and said a little lightly: I hope so, I feel like my aunt didn't sleep well all night last night, Teacher Zhang laughed "hahaha" after hearing this, and said: Yes, it's normal for your aunt to worry about you!

Saying that, he walked to the restaurant with the tableware, and the "ghost brother" also walked out, and asked tentatively: Teacher Zhang—is Xuemei gone again? Teacher Zhang looked at him for a while, and said with a smile: I went to her grandfather's house, and set off directly from my grandfather's house!

Oh - "Brother Ghost" finished speaking, followed Teacher Zhang out of the dormitory area, Teacher Zhang smiled and said: Do you want to go with me to taste the taste of the restaurant? "Brother Ghost" smiled and said: No need, teacher, next time we eat together, I invite you, today is a bit rushed!

Okay, I'll go when you get your admission letter!" Mr. Zhang said to him as he walked towards the restaurant. "Brother Ghost" shouted: A word is a certainty, Mr. Zhang!

After speaking, he watched Mr. Zhang walk away, looked down at his watch, and there were still 40 minutes before the agreed time with Zhang Guoqiang, "Brother Ghost" decided to go to the bookstore first to stay in wait for Zhang Guoqiang's arrival. When I was about to arrive at the entrance of the alley of the bookstore, I met the familiar figure impartially, and the nameless fire immediately rushed to the top of my head-

"Brother Ghost" hid in the alley, quietly watching him suddenly come out after walking in, so frightened that he couldn't help but retreat. "Brother Ghost" looked at him with straight eyes, looked at him with a serious face, and waited for him to explain. Xiao Jun looked at him and said with a relaxed and provocative smile: What's the matter - is this stalking me or spying on me? Or is it waiting for me here?

"Brother Ghost" really wanted to stretch out his hand and slap him again, but he held back his anger and asked with a cold smile: Are you skipping class again? Xiao Jun opened his eyes wide, and also said angrily: You don't want to frame people if you don't know the situation! "Brother Ghost" sneered twice, still looking at him coldly, Xiao Jun rolled his eyes and glared, and explained helplessly: Today we are the last day of the mock exam, and we will have a half-day vacation after the exam in the morning!

"Brother Ghost" looked at him suspiciously, and saw many students wearing school uniforms on the road, shuttling back and forth in the storefront on Shizhong Road. Seeing this scene, "Ghost Brother" looked at Xiao Jun, laughed embarrassedly, and then said: Then what are you going to do?

Xiao Jun looked at the "ghost brother" angrily and said: "Eat--what else can you do, do you care about this?" "Ghost brother" saw that Xiaojun was really a little angry, took him by the shoulder, smiled wryly, and said: Okay, even if the brother apologizes to you, we will eat together! Xiaojun, who was still angry, broke free from the arm of the "ghost brother" and said: Why-I don't want to!
