Chapter 5: The Vulgar Foil
Zhou Jingrui came out with a vase with gardenias, a few petals had turned yellow and rusted, grabbed a bouquet with one hand and put it on the table, pulled out a chair and sat down: "You go and wash the vase." ”
"Oh" Ganluo got up, picked up the glass vase, and stood still, "Where to wash?"
Zhou Jingrui pointed to a brown-yellow wooden door, "Enter the door, turn left, there is a pool." ”
Gan Luo looked over and pushed open the door with a glass vase.
Putting the washed vase on the table, Gan Luo saw that the half-yellow gardenia was separated by Zhou Jingrui and thrown on the table, and couldn't help picking up one: "The yellowed and rusty gardenia is useful, and it can repel mosquitoes when placed outside the window." ”
"No, I don't have to. Zhou Jingrui replied, and the scissors in his hand clicked and cut very loudly.
"Really?" Gan Luo looked at the traces of mosquito bites on the back of someone's hand, raised his eyes to stare at Zhou Jingrui, and saw that the other party's expression was wrong, and whispered: "You are so awkward, just say anything directly." ”
Gan Luo wondered a little in his heart, how could a manly man have a little lady's temper.
Gan Luo has been watching "Water Margin" recently, chasing books and TV series together, and thinks that a man should be rough and handsome, at least he has to be open-minded, and he doesn't say what kind of energy is it?
But she was also wrong, sat up straight and said in a sincere tone: "The matter just now is that I was reckless, and I apologize to you." "Give the other party enough steps.
"......" Zhou Jingrui was silent.
"Hey, I'm asking you, you haven't answered the question just now. Don't be awkward, just say it if you can't get used to it. ”
Putting down the scissors in his hand, Zhou Jingrui looked back at Gan Luo: "Say I'm awkward, why don't you say that you are a thief." ”
As soon as Gan Luo heard Zhou Jingrui's words, he turned his head to look in the direction of the two old men, and stared at him in a low voice, "Speak clearly!" The gardenia in his hand squeezed out the slurry.
The other party held the cuckoo in one hand and leaned back in the chair: "Okay, let's talk, why did you say that you fell at my door by coincidence?"
"Do I want to fall? Moss Runyu is too slippery, do you want to blame me?"
Leaning closer with a cold snort, Zhou Jingrui laughed: "Under the locust tree, who said, 'It's not good to look good for the first time, maybe it's because you didn't wear a mask?', and this cuckoo, it's really time to send it!"
"Listen to this, do you want to say that I peeked at you before I fell? Why don't you just ask? I just fell because I saw you, no, not accurate enough, the focus is on the old locust tree, you are just a foil. ”
Gan Luo stood up and picked up the bright red cuckoo on the table, "As for it, I picked it red, and the flower language is good luck, what's wrong?"
"Another of its flower words is: the joy of love. I've seen more than you with a girl like you. ”
"It's really interesting for a girl like me, anyway, I'm only fifteen years old, and I thought it was a girl who liked you when I first met?
"You!" Zhou Jingrui choked on the other party's words.
pressed the armrest of the bamboo chair with one hand, looked directly at Zhou Jingrui, and sneered: "Do you know why I said that you didn't look good the first time when you took off your mask?"
Gan Luo stood up, turned his back to the direction of the two old men to block their sight, and looked at Zhou Jingrui with sarcasm: "Because, your whole appearance makes people feel extremely vulgar. If you look good, you should be scared, and narcissism should also have a sense of proportion!"
The cuckoo in his hand was placed on the table, Gan Luo didn't give the other party a chance to reply, turned around and walked in the direction of Grandma Zhou, and naturally returned to a sweet and well-behaved smile on his face:
"Grandma Zhou, there is an exam tomorrow, I have to go back to review early, so I will stay soon, and I will move the cuckoo here after school tomorrow, it looks good." ”
"Let's go back after dinner. Grandma Zhou stayed, and out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the direction where Zhou Jingrui was sitting, this bastard boy might be provoking someone.
"I came over for dinner, and next time I'll try my grandmother's handiwork. ”
"Are you afraid of going back alone? or grandma will join you. Grandma Li got up, and Gan Luo stepped forward to help her sit back, "I'm an adult, grandma sit well." ”
"Xiao Rui, send my sister back. ”
"Don't bother, just a wall, just a corner. ”
Gan Luo smiled and took the basket from Aunt Liu's hand, "Goodbye, Auntie." He turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate, stepped out of the courtyard door in a few steps, and gently closed the heavy wooden door.
Zhou Jingrui picked up the packed vase and walked towards the study, took the books on the shelf, and sat on the futon in the room without saying a word.
Grandma Zhou saw him enter the house silently, and looked at Grandma Li who was sitting on the side, "This kid, maybe he provoked Luo Yatou." ”
"Children's business, every few days. Grandma Li smiled, "It's still the month of study, and when I returned to my hometown during this period, I saw him wearing a mask when I came today, why was it uncomfortable?"
Grandma Zhou looked in the direction of the study, with pity in her eyes: "The same problem as his grandfather, this child is angry, but it also puts a lot of pressure on himself, and he underwent surgery in the imperial capital in April, and the doctor suggested that he take a year off from school." Isn't I getting old, so I thought I would go back to my hometown with him to recuperate, and I would take care of him. ”
"Fifteen years old, but his mind is heavy. His father was busy, so he took it with his stepmother. I don't have many arms and legs to help. ”
"The child is fine now, and when he is old, he is looking forward to some blessings for his children and grandchildren, so that you still have a grandson to accompany you. I'm alone. Grandma Li saw that Grandma Zhou's brows were furrowing deeper and deeper, and she appropriately diverted the topic.
"It's been a long time since I've drunk the tea you've brewed. Grandma Zhou patted the other party's shoulder, said that she went into the house to get the tea set, and turned her head to look at Grandma Li playfully: "Seventy-eight, are you still cooking?"
"What do you say? Take it, it's been so long, and you still remember my craft. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and looked at the old locust tree together, "It's better to be young." ”
At night, the stars climbed up to the clouds, and Grandma Zhou opened the door of the study:
"Rui?"
"You kid, why don't you turn on the lights!"
Grandma Zhou turned on the light and saw Zhou Jingrui sitting on the futon, "Have you quarreled with Luo Yatou?"
"Nope. Standing up with the bookshelf, Zhou Jingrui helped his grandmother sit down, "It's just boring to think about something." ”
"What's the matter? Today I asked you to send Luo Yatou, but you didn't respond. Grandma Zhou looked at the cuckoo in the vase on several cases, "The cuckoo said that the luck is in charge, and the little girl is very caring." ”
"It's a country girl" Zhou Jingrui glanced at the cuckoo, and his face was very bad.
"I like that girl, what did she say to make you angry and lock yourself in a dark room?"
"It's not because of her. Zhou Jingrui sat down on one side of the chair, leaning on the back of the chair and looking out of the window: "It's because of the past." ”
"You are not in the imperial capital now, and those things will not have anything to do with you in this year. A year that those people will soon forget. Grandma should have stopped your stepmother from bringing you into that circle in the first place. ”
"Alright, Grandma. Zhou Jingrui was silent.
Grandma Zhou suddenly became serious and looked at Zhou Jingrui: "If you sprinkle your previous emotions on Ganluo today, tomorrow, go and apologize to her." ”
"I haven't said anything, how did it become mine. Zhou Jingrui looked at his grandmother, and was bought by the dead girl when he saw him?
"What do you mean?"
"She called me vulgar and narcissistic, and said that I was the foil of the old locust tree. Zhou Jingrui turned her face away, thinking that she was not even as good as a tree, didn't she scold.
"This girl is very interesting, the foil of the old locust tree, my grandson is actually not as good as an old locust tree?" Hahaha" Grandma Zhou stopped laughing, picked up the feather duster on the shelf and beckoned to Zhou Jingrui's head, "Tomorrow, go and apologize to Luo Yatou." ”
"You don't even ask me why?"
"Asked what the reason is, she said that you are vulgar or a foil, you must have told her first. You're a boy, if you don't apologize, do you want the girl to admit your mistake first?"
“...... Who's grandma, exactly. Zhou Jingrui got up and walked outside the house, "Tomorrow, I'll apologize." Okay. ”
