On the way back, I kept wondering if Liu Shuang would talk about the money in the book, which was saved by Chen Ke's hard work, and if Chen Ke saw that there was some money missing, he would definitely be heartbroken.

I called Liu Shuang again: "The money in the book hasn't been dropped." ”

"Don't worry, I'll pay you if I drop it. Liu Shuang said angrily.

"The nature is different, the money is accumulated by Chen Ke little by little, it is very meaningful to her, and it loses its meaning when it is replaced by the money you give. I said.

"I didn't expect you to understand her so well, knowing that this money means a lot to her, and it is not a simple matter of amount. Liu Shuang's words sounded like he was ridiculing me, "Then why don't you understand that she is unhappy these days, she wants to be with you, and it is not a matter of money at all." Being with her loved ones is what makes her happiest. ”

I sighed: "Have you ever heard of a sentence? I can't pick up a brick when I hold you, and I can't pick you up when I pick up a brick, and that's how I am now." ”

"That's what describes a couple. Liu Shuang said.

"My daughter was my lover in my last life. I replied, "I gave her five yuan too early, and she saved three yuan, do you think a father will feel good when he sees his daughter like this? I can't even give her basic living security, and letting her follow me is the biggest irresponsibility for her." ”

"But she doesn't necessarily understand, and she may hate you. Liu Shuang said.

"I'll wait for her to understand me. I said.

At this time, I got out of the car, entered the community, and caught a glimpse of the figure of the old lady of the landlord downstairs in the community, I didn't talk to Liu Shuang anymore, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

The old lady moved a chair and sat downstairs, looking at the rain, her eyes were a little dim, I don't know what she remembered, the whole person lost the sharp feeling when I was talking about the rent before, and it seemed a little twilight.

I was suddenly a little ashamed, such a cold day had to be guarded by the old lady herself, I should have paid the rent on my own initiative.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I've been a little busy in the past two days, and I didn't have time to send you the rent, you can take this money, 1600 yuan. I took the money from my pocket and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady seemed to notice me at this time, and the whole person suddenly regained her vitality: "Young man, you can't be kind, you don't tell me when you run away, I'm old, I count on the rent to live, is it easy for me?"

"I didn't want to run, I gave the key to the house to someone else before I moved out, who the hell is not authentic. "I'm also a little annoyed, this old lady is unreasonable.

"If I don't force you like this, you're gone, I'll drink the northwest wind." The old lady recovered her spirits at once, "Do you want to provide for me?"

"If you were my grandmother, I would raise you. I said, and then stuffed the money into her hand, "Take it, 1600 yuan, you count it, see if there is less of yours, don't let me leave when the time comes, and you say that I gave less money." ”

The old lady took the money and looked at it twice: "Where did you get your money? ”

This old lady is so hurtful, I pity her for guarding me in such a cold day, waiting for my rent, not caring about her giving the key first, but she suspects that my money is not coming from the right way.

"You don't have a granddaughter, if you have a granddaughter, I can do bad things. "I fought back unceremoniously, and I still can't have compassion for people like old ladies.

"You don't have a job, you're divorced, and you have two daughters, how can I push my granddaughter into the fire. The old lady didn't show any weakness, "By the way, what about the two children? I haven't seen them for so long, where have they gone?"

"You forced me to sleep in the bridge hole. "I was too lazy to talk to the old lady anymore and pressed the elevator.

"How can you do this, father, let the children go to sleep in the bridge hole, I said no wonder I haven't seen those two children in the past few days. The old lady didn't give up, and followed me and counted me down, "What a good two children, you won't really let them sleep in the bridge hole, will you?"

I ignored her.

"You can do this kind of thing. The old lady was anxious, "Tell me where the child is? The old lady seemed to really believe it.

"Don't take it seriously, I'm kidding, the child sent her mom there. "I pulled the old lady.

"Really?" the old lady looked at me suspiciously.

"Really. I nodded, my eyelids drooping.

"Hey, it's a pity, Ake's child is the most clingy to you, so she sent it to her mother, is she used to it?" the old lady sighed.

"Xi doesn't get used to it, I have to go, I can't even eat a full meal, I don't have a place to live, what can I do if I don't go. I said.

The old lady was silent, and after a while, handed me the plastic bag in her hand: "Take it." ”

I was a little surprised, and looked at the old lady with a little panic, what kind of medicine was she selling in her gourd, and she didn't want the money.

I didn't understand the old lady's intentions for a while, so I didn't dare to answer.

"Take it, what are you doing back? Are you afraid that I will eat you?" the old lady was annoyed when she saw that I didn't answer.

"What are you doing all the time? Didn't you ask me to pay you this money, and what are you doing for me now?" I said.

"No need to pay. The old lady said.

"I don't need to accompany you, why?" I was very strange, the old lady checked the things in my house one by one, and there were some things that I didn't even notice, she actually found them all and made accounts, so why don't you have to accompany them?

"As long as the house can be rented out, the little couple doesn't care about the damaged things, what do you want to pay for. The old lady said, "You can use this money to buy some food and clothes for the child, don't freeze the child on such a cold day." ”

After saying that, the old lady forced the money into my hand, got out of the elevator, and continued to sit on her chair, looking at the rain curtain, stunned.

When the elevator reached the tenth floor, I was still in a daze, I didn't understand why the old lady suddenly changed her sex, became so humane, so easy to speak, didn't let me pay anything, and asked me to buy some food for the child and some clothes.

Could it be that people are old and easy to feel nostalgic?

As I walked through the aisle, I heard a quarrel coming from the house where I used to live, where Chen Chen and Ge Xiaolun now live.

After a while, the door opened, Chen Chen pushed open the door and walked out, then closed the door casually, saw me, and paused: "Brother Chen, do you have a cigarette in your hand, can you give me one?"

"Aren't you a smoker?" I pulled out a cigarette and handed it to him, "Is there a fire?"

Chen Chen shook his head, and I took the lighter again.

Chen Chen lit a cigarette and said thank you to me and went downstairs.

I didn't ask much, and I didn't follow, so it's better to let him calm down at this time.

I didn't have the key to Su Ran's house, I knocked on the door for a while, Su Ran didn't seem to hear, I called her, and she came to open the door.

As soon as I entered the house, I smelled the rice.

"Are you cooking?" I looked at Su Ran with some surprise, Su Ran had an apron around his chest, and the sleeves on his hands were rolled up.

"I'm making porridge. Su Ran seemed to be very interested, and seemed to be showing off, pointing to the kitchen.

I walked over and lifted the lid of the rice cooker to take a peek inside.

The slimy rice, without any water in sight, is definitely not porridge, and the rice is too soft.

"How's it going, okay?" Su Ran looked at me.

"It's good to cook porridge at this level for the first time, remember to put a little more water next time." "I didn't hit her," the first time I can cook to this level is already very good, try a few more times, grasp the amount of water, and you can naturally do it well. ”

"These are all things you watched me cook, and then learned by yourself?" I suddenly remembered that when I was cooking before, Su Ran had been watching from the sidelines.

"That's right, but looking at your simple appearance, I still didn't do it myself, and the water was indeed less. Su Ran was a little annoyed.

"You have to do everything by hand, and then you can slowly become proficient, and it's good that you can do it for the first time. I said, "Take a break, I'll stir-fry a few dishes." ”

Su Ran didn't rest, but helped me wash the vegetables next to me, and then watched me stir-fry, occasionally helping me hand over the condiments.

She seemed to be having fun.

At this moment, I suddenly had an illusion, as if I was with Su Ran, and I felt very relaxed and comfortable with her, and I didn't have to think about anything, and I couldn't feel this kind of comfort from Tong Wangjun and Tang Wan.

Three side dishes were served on the table, and I served rice to Su Ran and myself.

"It's getting dark, haven't you found a place to live yet?" asked Su Ran.

"Nope. I shook my head and discussed, "It's raining so hard, can I go and find a place to live when it stops?"
