A year later

When I opened my eyes, the little flower from the next house was crouching on my bedside table, staring at me motionless. I raised my hand and touched its head, and it meowed twice before jumping back on the windowsill to continue basking in the sun.

I remember the first morning I stayed here, and it crouched on the bedside table and stared at me, so frightened that I slapped it with a single palm. After a long time, I gradually got used to it.

I touched my phone and looked at the time, it was already nine o'clock. Today is Saturday, and the company doesn't have to go to work. But I have to be on time at twelve o'clock in the restaurant where I work as a temporary worker, otherwise the foreman's face will be longer than a horse's face.

Put down your phone and sit up against the head of the bed. The wheezing and screaming of the woman next door rang out again, and I smiled wryly. The soundproofing of this rental house is so poor that they have to show it almost every morning.

I changed out of my pajamas and was about to go to the toilet to wash my clothes when my phone rang. I quickly touched my mobile phone, and the call was from Charanthin.

"Hey, Xu Weilan, are you up?" said Charanvin's energetic shout.

"What's the matter, aren't you going to Shanghai?" I grabbed the phone and went into the bathroom.

"Come and see you, you've been in Shenzhen for so long, and I haven't been to see you yet. When I squeezed the toothpaste, there was a crisp sound from his end, and he cursed and said very depressedly: "Xu Weilan, the vase I gave you is broken." ”

"Forget it if it's broken. I turned on the faucet, "I'm at work at twelve, are you sure you're coming?"

"Isn't it Saturday?" he asked me in surprise.

"That's your Saturday, not mine. By the way, do you know where I live?" I asked him, pinching my toothbrush.

"Yes, yes, you said it once, I remember it. Go to work at twelve o'clock, then we will set off now, and we can get there in half an hour without traffic jams, okay, you wait. He wanted to hang up the phone.

"Wait, are we and Liu Xinmei?" I asked him curiously.

"Your joke isn't funny at all, hang up first. Xia Langwen didn't wait for me to speak, and hung up directly.

I hurriedly brushed my teeth.

Originally, I had changed into my work clothes in the restaurant, but now that Charanman is coming, I can only change into a T-shirt and jeans. Once I had packed up, I went through my wallet again. There are a total of 536 yuan left in the wallet, and there is still a week before the salary is paid, and I still think that there will definitely be some money left, so I just bought two sets of clothes for Xiaobao and Qian Lei's son and sent them home. Now it seems that the plan has not kept up with the changes.

The little couple in the next room had already stopped, and the little flowers were sleeping soundly on the windowsill. I took two slow steps and leaned over. The little flower immediately opened its eyes, and when it saw that it was me, it did not hide, but ignored me.

I looked at the flower-shaped hairs on its body, reached out and touched it, and it gradually relaxed, and then stretched out its limbs and lay on its back. I couldn't help but chuckle, this animal is so much cuter than a human.

After touching it for a while, I looked at my phone again, and it was nine thirteen. Charanwen came from Futian, and it would be nice to be there at ten o'clock. I unplugged my mom's phone and rang several times before I picked it up.

"Mom. Xiaobao's voice came, "Grandma is in the toilet, and I'm playing with my brother." ”

"Is my brother good?" I asked her with a smile.

"Not good. She smiled softly, "He broke his aunt's new lipstick yesterday, and my aunt was very angry and hit my brother." "Ask for help.

"And did you protect your brother?" I asked her again.

"He also tore up my homework book yesterday and I was angry too. Xiaobao said a little aggrieved.

"My brother is still young and ignorant, Xiaobao is a big sister, can I protect my brother?" I said softly.

"Okay, Mom, let me tell you, the results of the monthly exam are out, and I am second in the class. Xiaobao whispered.

"Really, Xiaobao is amazing. "I complimented her.

"I haven't told my grandmother and my uncle yet, because Mr. Zhang told me, and the paper hasn't been sent yet. Well, grandma is here......" she cleared her throat like a little adult, "grandma, my mom called." ”

"My brother is pooping, and my grandmother is not available to pick it up now. My mother's voice came faintly.

I received a call here, I looked at Ye Lingsu's number, "Xiaobao, mom hangs up first, and I'll call you at night." ”

"Mom, goodbye!" Xiao Bao hung up the phone after saying sweetly.

"Susu. I smiled.

"Lanzi, can you come to me?" Ye Lingsu's voice was mixed with faint pain.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked.

"Stomach aches, heartaches. She couldn't help but moan.

"Where's Gao Zefeng?" I asked again.

"Dead, are you coming?" she became impatient.

"Okay, I'll go now. "After hanging up the phone, I took my bag from the bed, changed my sneakers at the door, and I opened the door.

I ran down the eighth floor in one go, my legs shaking with exhaustion. After walking out of the staircase and through the messy wholesale market, the bus stop was a few dozen meters away, and I paused and decided to take a taxi. Ye Lingsu didn't know what the situation was, and it would take at least forty minutes to take the bus.

Fortunately, on Saturday morning, most office workers were sleeping at home, standing on the side of the road and waiting for less than two minutes to get a taxi. After getting into the car, he took a breath before pulling out Charanvin's number.

"Hey, Xu Weilan, I'll be here soon, don't worry. He said with a grin.

"I have to go to Ye Lingsu right now, she's not feeling well, I don't know when I'll be back. Charanthin, I'm sorry. I wiped the sweat from my forehead.

"Where does she live, send me the address, I'll just turn a corner, it's much closer than going to you. Brother is driving today, and he can turn around. He said proudly.

"Okay, I'll send you your phone at the address, hang up first. "I thought that if he had a car, Ye Lingsu would really be a little convenient.

The taxi stopped and went, and I looked out the window at the tall buildings. Thinking about it, I have been in Shenzhen for half a year, from spring to summer, in a blink of an eye.

It's been more than a year since my dad passed away. Tears seemed to well-up in my eyes again, and I looked back at the road ahead. The green light jumped, and the taxi started again.

It took me half an hour to rush to the gate of the community where Ye Lingsu lived, paid for the car, and just about to get out of the car, the door was opened.

"I thought you were walking?" said Charanvin's voice overhead.

I stepped on the ground, stood still, and looked at Charencin in front of me. Simple hairstyle, simple white T-shirt, simple jeans, simple board shoes, sunny smiling face, a pair of smiling crooked eyes under thick eyebrows, and the skin on the face is so tender that even girls are jealous.

"It's been a long time, but you still look like you're eighteen. "I am truly amazed.

"It's been a long time since you've been so good at talking. He laughed, then turned his head and beckoned behind him, "Fourth brother, come here." ”
