Ganlo was awakened by thirst, his throat was dry, he got up and rubbed his messy hair, and walked barefoot towards the living room.

As soon as he opened the door, he suddenly realized that there was a living person in the room, and hurriedly retreated to the room, grabbed his hair with both hands, put on his slippers and opened a crack in the door, and his head went out only to find that the living room was empty.

The quilt was neatly stacked on the sofa, and Gan Luo approached and picked up the note pressed by the thermos cup on the coffee table next to him: There is porridge in the kitchen.

"This word ......" The corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, thinking that Zhou Jingrui was a good handwriting, remembering his analogy yesterday, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Putting the note back on the coffee table, Ganluo went to the bathroom to take a hot shower, went back to the room to change into clean clothes, and drank a bowl of porridge neatly.

Calculating the time, Ji'an Hall should also open the door, and today she has to go to Old Man Yuan to deliver the goods.

Open the door, the morning light is bright, her house faces west, the morning sun climbs from the back of the house to the eaves, draws a goose yellow marginal line in the yard, the bamboo forest on the back covers the sunrise, the rice waves in front of the house are rolled, but it is a good place to watch the sunset.

When Ganluo came back that day, he spread out the motherwort and dried it again, and the three bundles were harvested when they were ripe, and they were grown in the field, and the whole was slender, and they were tied to the back seat of the bicycle, and the door was locked and they set off.

Passing by the door of Zhou's house, I happened to meet Grandma Zhou who was going out.

Gan Luo got out of the car and said hello, "Grandma Zhou." ”

"Early in the morning, where is the girl?" Grandma Zhou smiled and glanced sideways into the house.

"Go to the Ji'an Hall in the town to deliver medicinal herbs. ”

"Ride a bicycle on the road and be safe. ”

"Okay. Ganluo was in a hurry, so he didn't talk much, pushed his bicycle past Zhou's door, and rode his bicycle towards the town.

Grandma Zhou pinched her hands, thinking that this girl was well-behaved, turned around and entered the house, and saw Zhou Jingrui sitting under the tree reading a book, smiling and quipping, "I came back yesterday to see enough, and I didn't even go out to say hello today?"

"I haven't seen enough. Zhou Jingrui turned a page of the book, his eyes moved slightly, and his expression was still indifferent, "Grandma is fine, don't make fun of me." ”

"Then why did you come back a day earlier?" Grandma Zhou grabbed Zhou Jingrui's pigtail and didn't let go, looked up at the old locust tree in the yard and sighed: "I miss your grandfather chasing me for a while, and I am about the same age as you." ”

"But I heard my grandfather say that you chased him first. ”

"Little cub, do you believe what he said?"

"I believe my grandmother, 100 percent. Zhou Jingrui accepted it when he saw it, gave her a chair under the locust tree, got up and went to the study, and went back to the room to breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, he was not caught when he came back today.

Gan Luo stood at the door of Ji'an Hall and knocked on the door, on weekdays, Old Man Yuan opened the door early, what is going on today?

After waiting for a while, just as I was about to go back, the wooden door "creaked" and moved (a door made of a single piece of wooden plank, with grooves nested between the planks).

A head came out from behind the plank, and it was the old man Yuan who was sick, and beckoned to Ganluo, "The girl comes in." ”

Seeing that Old Man Yuan's face was not good, he added one sneeze after another, and couldn't help but say, "You go in first, it's windy outside." ”

"It's okay, Xiao He, come and move the medicine. Old man Yuan saw the three bundles of motherwort on the back seat of the bicycle and beckoned to the house.

"It's not heavy, I'm holding it alone. ”

Ganluo set up the bicycle, untied the rope of the back seat, lifted a bundle with one hand and walked towards the house, there was a sound of footsteps in the backyard, but after a while, he arrived in front of Ganluo, reached out to help her take it, looked up and saw the appearance of the person, Ganluo was in place, "You are ......"

"What, don't you remember?" Old man Yuan leaned against the door, and joked when he saw Gan Luoleng's appearance, "Before, he was fat." Do you remember?"

"He Fat Dun'er?" Gan Luo couldn't believe it, that Yuan Chuhe with three circles of meat around his neck looked at the 'white-skinned and beautiful' guy in front of him, Gan Luo said in his heart that fat people are all potential stocks.

"The little man has grown taller. Yuan Chuhe looked at Gan Luo, with a bright smile on his face.

"I'm not a dwarf now. Ganlo pouted, she was a centimeter taller than the average in the class.

Yuan Lao'er helped Ganluo's bicycle into the house, and Ganluo took the remaining bundle of motherwort, "Or put it in the old place?"

"Hmm. You talk first, I'll go and see if the medicine is ready. Old man Yuan walked away with his hands behind his back, glanced at the direction where the two children were standing, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Gan Luo nodded, she and Yuan Chuhe hadn't seen each other for four or five years, and she was indeed a little surprised when he came back suddenly, "Didn't you go to the imperial capital with your uncle?

"Grandpa was sick, and my dad came back to visit, so I came back to accompany him. ”

Gan Luo turned his head and glanced at the direction where Old Man Yuan left, calculate, he is almost seventy this year, and next week is her fourteenth birthday, if she remembers it well, Yuan Chuhe should be eighteen this year.

"Grandpa told me a lot about you. Yuan Chuhe put the herbs in his hand on the bamboo rack, looked at the girl in front of him who was less than his shoulder, and thought of the past, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, "It's much more well-behaved than before." ”

"It's okay, it hasn't changed much. Ganluo shrugged his shoulders and turned his eyes to look at him, "When it comes to you, you can be 1.8 meters by eyesight, and I can't recognize it at first glance." ”

"Almost. Go sit over there for a while. ”

Yuan Chuhe pointed to the chessboard under the Kelan tree, he hadn't seen him for many years, and he heard his grandfather say that she would come over today, and he thought about it for a while, but he couldn't see it, but he didn't know what to say, and he could feel that Gan Luo was not as familiar with him as before.

Gan Luo nodded in agreement, followed him to the foot of the Curan tree, a scent lingered, and said with a smile: "It feels the same as before." ”

I remember transferring to another school and moving again, living in Yanghe, when she transferred here, there were nightmares at night, she was thin for more than a month, and her mother often went to Ji'an Hall to grab medicine and recuperate, and it happened that his father returned to his hometown to pick up her as a patient and give her psychological treatment, and he also met Yuan Chuhe here, who was still a little fat man with three steps and one breath, four years older than her.

"Has chess regressed in the past few years?" Yuan Chuhe sat cross-legged on the futon on the side of the chessboard and looked up at her.

Gan Luo sat down across from him, "I will play a few games with Grandpa Yuan when I have time, and I can only say that I am not unfamiliar." ”

"It's still the same as before, you first. She twisted up the sunspot and raised her hand to signal Yuan Chuhe, the other party was looking at her, a handsome face was angular and angular, she laughed at him when she was a child, and now these eyes are the most brilliant.

"Why, you don't recognize me anymore?" Seeing that he didn't play chess, Ganluo Suoxin also sat up straight and looked at him, "After watching it for a long time, what's the difference, and don't waste it, he said." ”

"I didn't notice a mole at the end of your eye before. Yuan Chuhe smiled proudly, and put the white son next to the sunspot, "It's a little unrecognizable, you used to have a round face, but you're not as pretty as you are now." ”

"Well, I'll praise you for me. ”

On the second floor of the courtyard, Yuan Zhu looked at the two people under the Kelan tree, isn't it a little ruthless to not let Yuan Chuhe come back in the past few years?

Flipping through the document in his hand, Yuan Zhu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and looked condescendingly at the girl sitting in front of the chessboard in the courtyard, after so many years, why did she still want to investigate that matter? It stands to reason that she won't think about it.

Or was it something that reminded her of something for some other unforeseen reason?

Gan Luo noticed the gaze of the second floor looking at her, the chess pieces that were twisted did not fall, raised his head and smiled politely, the person standing upstairs was Yuan Chuhe's father, when the two met their eyes, Gan Luo felt a little uneasy inexplicably, lowered his eyes and did not show his emotions, and continued to fight with Yuan Chuhe on the chessboard.

Soldiers, treacherous ways. Ganluo's previous chess style was to advocate the sword to go sideways and win by deceit, but in today's game, she focused on taking it step by step.

Her chess skills were far inferior to Yuan Chuhe, but halfway through the game, Yuan Chuhe realized that the girl in front of him was different from before, just looking at her state and eyes when she played chess, he was a little surprised.

Yuan Chuhe looked at her, although he was taking every step of the way, Xu was really as she said, he didn't play chess often, and he felt that he couldn't keep up, and his momentum overwhelmed her more than one.

The black and white dragon on the chessboard is entrenched, and Ganluo is at a disadvantage on the surface, although the chess style is calm, but in Yuan Chuhe's eyes, she is able to stabilize the foundation.

After breaking the siege, Yuan Chuhe saw that she was stubbornly resisting, raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you want to continue?"

Gan Luo raised his eyes and smiled, "An Zhi I can't turn defeat into victory?"
