Chapter 3: The Excess of the Excess
When Yu Zhile used an alcohol cotton ball to clean the wound on Yu Zilian's forehead, he felt that his hands and feet were very light, and Yu Zilian did not cry out in pain, but when he saw his two frowning thick eyebrows and low-hanging and trembling eyelashes, he was still a little nervous.
After applying the medicine and putting gauze on it, she put down the hand that picked up the broken hair in front of Yu Zilian's forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Zihuan glanced at her, and immediately looked away, "Why help me?" โ
Yu Zhile didn't know why, and looked at him stunned, "Didn't you ask me to help you with the medicine?" โ
Yu Zilian frowned at her, with some impatience in his eyes.
Yu Zhile came back to his senses this time, realizing that he was asking why he was pretending to be a teacher from No. 4 Middle School to help him out of the siege, and he thought for a few seconds, but he didn't really understand how he was idle and meddling. So he simply pretended to be stupid, squinted and smiled, revealing a neat row of white teeth, "When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help, it's not right to bully the weak!" โ
Yu Zhile felt that Yu Zihuan seemed to want to roll his eyes at her, but he finally held back, just looked at her with a strange look, stared at her for a long time and asked, "You mean I think I'm weak?" โ
Didn't I say the wrong thing again, sensitive children are so difficult to serve. Yu Zhile laughed dryly and defended: "I didn't mean that, what I said about weakness is relative, you see, you only have one person, and they have eight people, isn't it the weaker side in comparison, if it's purely heads-up, you can even beat their boss, how can you be considered weak?" โ
Yu Zihuan probably felt that the reason was acceptable, so he didn't dwell on this issue anymore, reached out and grabbed the hem of the T-shirt, ready to deal with the bruises on his body, and suddenly looked up halfway through and said to Yu Zhile, who was still facing him: "Don't look, turn around." โ
Yu Zhile nodded and turned around, but when she looked back, she felt that she was very wronged, as if she wanted to see him undress. Yu Zhile, who had nothing to do, naturally began to observe the furnishings in the room, his eyes shifted from the chandelier to the sofa, then from the sofa to the coffee table full of sundries, and then turned around, and saw two black and white posthumous photos hanging on the wall.
On the left is a young woman in her twenties, very beautiful, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and a smile like a flower, similar to Yu Zilian, but much softer than Yu Zilian, and on the right is a white-haired old man, although his face is full of wrinkles, but from the smile between the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, he can also see that he was a beauty when he was young.
Yu Zhile quickly launched the relationship between the three of them in his mind, which should be the three generations of grandparents. But in this case, Yu Zilian is too miserable, his grandmother passed away, and his mother died young, maybe the one on the left is his aunt?
Yu Zhile was still immersed in thinking, Yu Zilian had already finished pasting the plaster and dressed, limping with the medicine box and wanting to put it back in the cupboard at a high place.
"I'll do it." Yu Zhile is not too tall in the north of his hometown, but he is also 1.7 meters, compared to Yu Zilian, who has not yet developed and is only 1.6 meters old, he is still a lot taller, and he doesn't need to tiptoe, stretch out his arm to put the medicine box back in its original place.
Yu Zihuan didn't do it this time, and sat down on the sofa honestly after handing the medicine box to Yu Zhile.
Yu Zhile looked at the time, it was more than half past six, and the fragrance of food had already wafted out from other houses, but Yu Zilian's family was still a cold pot and a cold stove, there was no adult, and he had no intention of cooking.
Yu Zilian sat silently, Yu Zhile was very skeptical that with his character, he would not tell his parents about being bullied, she was thinking about whether she should wait for his family to come back, and tactfully expressed that he was ostracized by his peers, which could be regarded as benevolent and righteous.
Yu Zhile didn't sit or sit, the atmosphere was really embarrassing, she couldn't help but poke her head and look at the door, "Where's your father?" Haven't gotten off work yet? โ
Yu Zilian didn't answer at first, Yu Zhile waited for a long time, and when he was about to give up, he heard him say: "He owes a lot of debt, he ran away a long time ago, and probably died outside." โ
These words were cold, but the coldness in Yu Zilian's eyes made Yu Zhile even more frightened, as if the person mentioned had nothing to do with him, not his father, and not even a stranger.
If Fang Cai can be called embarrassing, the current atmosphere is probably frozen, and as soon as there is any movement, it clicks so loudly that Yu Zhile wants to slap himself and make you cheap.
But his eyes swept over the posthumous photo on the wall again, and Yu Zhile suddenly realized something, "Then you ...... now"
"I live alone." Yu Zihuan also noticed her gaze at the posthumous photo, raised his head to accurately capture her gaze, and the eyes that met her clearly revealed a meaning, if she dared to show his pity, he would immediately turn his face.
Yu Zhile was indeed sympathetic to him, but the first sentence that came to his mind was: This is not legal.
Yu Zihuan looks like he is twelve or thirteen years old at most, maybe even younger, as a minor, doesn't he have to have a guardian?
Probably because the confusion in Yu Zhile's expression was greater than pity, the hostility in Yu Zilian's eyes weakened, and he lowered his head and explained, "Nominally, my aunt adopted me. โ
But only in name, in fact, he was left to fend for himself, and he was happy to be free in his grandmother's old house.
Yu Zhile didn't know what to say, she had already deeply experienced the sensitivity and stubbornness of this child in a short period of time, so it was better not to say anything.
"You haven't eaten dinner yet, have you? It just so happens that I didn't eat either, can I rub your meal? Yu Zhile wittily changed the topic, leaned over to Yu Zilian's side with a dead face, and hurriedly added when he saw that he didn't answer, "I can pay." โ
Yu Zilian moved his body and distanced himself from Yu Zhile, "I only have instant noodles." โ
"It's okay, just eat it."
After going to the kitchen to rummage through the cabinets, Yu Zhile had a new understanding of Yu Zilian.
is really a sincere child, saying that there are only instant noodles, there are only instant noodles, she eats cup noodles and knows how to add a ham sausage or poached egg, Yu Zilian has nothing at home except a box of instant noodles, and the refrigerator is cleaner than her face.
After the water boiled, two bags of instant noodles were put down, and as soon as the fragrance wafted out, Yu Zhile heard the sound of dragging a chair behind him, and looked back to see that Yu Zilian had already taken the dishes and chopsticks and sat down at the small table in the kitchen.
The hot noodles are hot and hot, but Yu Zhile can't stop eating, the weather has begun to be stuffy in July, and he soon sweats in the kitchen where the air is not very circulated, Yu Zhile fanned the wind with his hand, and saw that although Yu Zilian on the side ate slower than her with his left hand, there were beads of sweat on his fair face, and strands of broken hair were attached to his forehead.
is just a good-looking child, ordinary people sweating profusely will only look wolf bรจi sloppy, but Yu Zilian only reminds Yu Zhile of the lotus flowers stained with dew in the early morning, not stained with dust, coupled with the drooping dog eyes at the corners of his eyes, she can see that her motherhood is overflowing, and she can't take her eyes off.
Looking at it, Yu Zilian suddenly raised his head, Yu Zhile met his shining eyes, only then did he realize his gaffe, and quickly straightened his face and made a painful statement, "You can't do this, you are in the stage of growing your body, how can you eat instant noodles every day?" How can nutrition keep up? โ
Yu Zilian frowned at what she said, and shifted his gaze to his face, "I can only afford instant noodles." โ
Yu Zhile saw that it was over, and did not let Yu Zi despise her, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and also thought about this problem seriously, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Yu Zihuan lacks someone to take care of, she lacks a place to live, otherwise she will rent his house, she can work to pay rent, and take care of Yu Zilian's three meals a day, which should not be considered to take advantage of him.
After telling Yu Zihuan about this idea, he looked at her strangely and said, "Aren't you a resident of this building?" โ
Yu Zhile remembered her behavior of opening the door with a key downstairs, and she didn't blame Yu Zihuan for having such a misunderstanding, she laughed dryly, "I said that the key was picked up by me, do you believe it?" โ
Yu Zihuan obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't say anything, and picked out another chopstick noodle and put it in his mouth.
"Are you worried that I'm a bad person?" Yu Zhile saw that he was silent, thinking that he still had concerns.
"How much rent do you pay?"
It turned out to be thinking about this question.
Yu Zhile thought about the rent and rising prices in ten years, and estimated the price, "One thousand? โ
After saying that, she regretted it, and it wasn't much more expensive for her to live alone in a whole room ten years later, but Yu Zihuan didn't give her a chance to regret it, "Okay, in addition, the water and electricity are shared equally." โ
It's really not a loss.
Yu Zhile has a deeper understanding of Yu Zilian, but who asked her to come up with this method herself, she can only swallow her teeth in her stomach, and finally find a place to stay, and she is relatively familiar with this area, and it is easier to find odd jobs here without education and identity certificates.
When he finished eating and washing the dishes, Yu Zhile realized that he hadn't introduced himself yet, "I forgot to say, my name is Yu Zhile, Yu is the elm of the elm tree, remove the wooden word, know it, happy Le, you can call me Sister Lele." โ
"My name is Yu Zilian."
"What a coincidence, our surnames are the same, more like sisters and brothers." Yu Zhile turned off the faucet to dry his hands, turned around and said happily.
Yu Zilian looked at her deeply, and said with a gloomy face: "Unfortunately, I am superfluous Yu." โ
Yu Zhile wanted to say that it sounded the same anyway, but he continued slowly: "The son of the wife is scattered, and the son is scattered." โ
Yu Zhile cleared his throat and said stubbornly: "It is also a son full of children and grandchildren, and he is relieved." โ
Yu Zihuan glanced at her again, but this time the ice in his eyes was a little loose, but he didn't answer.
When Yu Zilian was writing her homework in the evening, Yu Zhile secretly checked what she brought from ten years later, although the mobile phone was still charged, but her SIM card was issued by the school in her freshman year, and there was no signal, and I didn't know if I could continue to use the smart phone if I changed a 05-year card, but in order not to attract the attention of others, I still changed to a mobile phone that conformed to the times.
There were 1,000 yuan in his wallet and some change, and Yu Zhile nervously checked the past one by one, fortunately they were all printed in 2005 or before, and they could still be used. Yu Zhile couldn't help but be glad that she hadn't worn it back to twenty years ago or more, otherwise her few grandfathers Mao would not have been useful.
However, this money has to pay rent, water, electricity, and groceries, so you can save some money before you find a source of income.
Yu Zhile continued to dig out his bag, took out his resume and various certificates, and sighed heavily, she is obviously a serious college graduate, and she has passed the fourth and sixth grades, but now it is worse than the blind stream, how can she live in the future.
Wait, shouldn't we think about how to go back to 2015? If she goes back, she won't have to worry about survival so much, at least she won't have to pay the rent a second time. But this seems to be more clueless than finding a job in 2005, and Yu Zhile fell into deep contemplation.
That's right, although she looks like she's in a daze, she's really thinking about it, but she can't think about the result.
Yu Zilian, who was doing homework in the bedroom, dragged out with his inconvenient legs and feet, Yu Zhile hurriedly swept the things spread on the coffee table into his bag, for fear that he would see something flawed, who thought that people didn't look at her at all, went straight to the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and walked back to the bedroom door with a water cup.
Yu Zhile saw him stop and couldn't help but look over.
Yu Zihuan didn't look back, his back to her, his eyes staring at the slightly trembling water surface of the cup in his hand, "The rent can be paid later." โ
After saying that, he entered the bedroom and closed the door.
Yu Zhile was still thinking about why this kid suddenly became magnanimous, and suddenly reacted, he thought she was making noise to him in the living room with a long sigh.
