Chapter IV

In fact, I have never carefully observed the appearance of Gu Shaoqing and Uncle He, I didn't care about it before, but now I don't want to. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWe only count the two swimming fish that meet in the water, occasionally meet in a bay, and then swim away separately and never see each other again. Even if there are ripples in the course of swimming, it is just an end of dissipation. So I didn't plan to say hello today.

Haizhu looked at me with an indifferent face, put down the other clothes in his hand, and pulled me out: "When Brother Fang called yesterday, my aunt said let's take you to buy shoes, let's go, there is nothing to see in this house, let's go to Xinli Department Store."

After the last incident, the little friendship that Shifang had just established with Gu He and the two disappeared after He Jichang's remarks, and he instinctively used his body to block the sight of the two of them, and walked out quickly with me and Haizhu.

However, the second we stepped out of the threshold, Uncle He had already run to block the way.

"The ......"

"What do you want to do?" Shifang looked wary.

"Mr. Tong, don't do this. I just want to apologize, it was my father who was wrong that day, and scared my sister, so I'm going to accompany you on behalf of my father. Don't worry, I will never agree with my father's approach, and I can't do what I love my friends? ”

Win a loved one?

When I heard this, I instinctively looked towards the place where Gu Shaoqing was, he was wearing a tooth-white suit today, and the white shirt at the collar shone on the light thrown in from outside the house, and the whole person looked like a prince bathed in a fairy tale. He smiled slightly and shook my jaw, indicating the authenticity of Uncle He's words.

Did he say so? I kind of don't believe my ears.

Gu Shaoqing had already stepped forward and said to me, Haizhu and Shifang: "Brother Shi, I have already told my uncle that I like Sister Ling, and please give me this opportunity."

"You ......"

In the silence, the sun outside the house slanted and slanted, and the church bells in the distance took advantage of the silence. The ginger cheongsam of Haizhu has pale white autumn leaves. I clasped my hands together, and a rare softness appeared on my face. Whatever he said for this, I am grateful to him, to him for giving me a chance to be excited, and for giving me a little relief from my worries these days, and God has favored me a little bit of tolerance.

"Which sister is this, brother, you won't introduce me to it. It's so strange that you're standing here, don't you even know if you're blocking other people's intersections? The beautiful girl walked forward quickly to break the deadlock, and it was very embarrassing to stand like this again.

Shifang also came back to his senses at this time, and opened his mouth to the people at the door: "Let's go, just bumped into each other today, and we young people will make it clear to each other." The café across the street is the place to talk, how about it? Want to talk? ”

On the night of early summer, there is still a faint blue in the sky around eight o'clock, hidden in the inky black skylight, which makes people look at it with a trace of faint sweetness.

Gu Shaoqing said that when he waded into this troubled water, he wanted to touch his swimming fish.

He Shutong also said that he wanted to live happily for a few years, and he was unwilling to be at the mercy of others.

The two of them confessed like this, and what they said would always make people believe it, right?

I can't help but think of the second time I saw him, in the teahouse, Gu Shaoqing's angry and good-looking eyebrows, why didn't I look at him at that time? I must have been stupid to suddenly remember so many details that I didn't care about at the time. I thought about it with annoyance, and the words he had said to me at that time rang in my ears: "At a young age, I ran to Qin Huai to see the top cards with my family behind my back, and I didn't know what to say, and the whole world wanted to know, does your sister also know that you are like this?"

I bumped into him, and he sat there expressionlessly to introduce He Shutong next to him: "This is my friend He Shutong, this is my little sister Liu Hanzhao, who is going to study in Jinling Academy in a few days, and Uncle Tong said to you and Uncle Jun to take care of her."

It turned out that this was a little starlight, gently swaying and flashing people's eyes, a little intoxicating.

Mother Han greeted her, took the paper bag in my hand and said angrily: "I didn't want to tell you yesterday, but I can't come back when I go today." My aunt and grandmother, why are they smirking again, what's the matter with Young Master Shifang and Miss Cousin? Why did this trip out cure the same and the same? ”

"Ma'am...... Look at what's wrong with the second miss, and she'll be smirking when she comes back. ”

My mother and father hurriedly greeted me, one holding my hand and the other touching my head, looking and looking at me, but I didn't understand what was going on. I sneered, came back to my senses, and hurriedly said to them, "You two look like fools like this?"

Mother scolded: "It's not just a fool, I just said that I should pay attention to it in the future, and everyone should turn a deaf ear." It's a summer night, but it's late. Your sister hasn't come back yet! ”

As I entered the house, I took off my shoes, and I couldn't help but wonder when I heard my mother say this. My sister should have come back on weekdays, nothing will happen, right?

"She said today that her former classmates had birthdays and wanted to go to people's homes to have fun. When you leave, you don't say anything you can't go back. Who knew there wasn't even a phone call? ”

"What about the name of the classmate? I went to find her number bib. ”

"It's called Fei Mile."

"Wait, come right away."

The phone rang suddenly, and after a while, there was finally a reaction. A female voice picked up the phone, and a thin voice came: "Which one?"

"But Sister Fei's house?"

"Exactly, which one are you?"

I replied: "Hello sister, I am Liu Mingzhao's little sister Han Zhao, my sister is said to have gone to your house for a party today, and I am tired of asking, is your party broken?"

"Oh, it turned out to be a little sister. We're eating, and we're done. But your sister has someone to pick you up, don't worry. The female voice replied with a smile.

"Well, I'm sorry for you. Invite my sister to play at home another day, and this will be hanging. ”

"Okay."

Sister has someone to pick up? This sounds really strange, could it be that my father sent Mu Bo to go?

I was about to ask my mother, but my father said, "After a hard day's work, go back to the house." I'll just wait with your mother. Ming'er has to go to school and clean up early. I still want to ask again, Mother Han has stepped forward and pulled me to the embroidery building: "Today, the shopkeeper of Xiangruifu came to send dividends, and sent a few new materials to the master, and Mrs. asked me to pick for you, and make a few new cheongsams for you and the eldest lady in the middle of summer." This will be picked for you, and the tailor will be called tomorrow. ”

was interrupted by her like this, and the words came to my mouth and I swallowed them back, let's talk about it when I come back from school tomorrow, and ask my sister in person at that time.

Who knew that the second **** came back from school early, and did not see my sister's person, Han's mother said that the third uncle and three aunts called, saying that there was a once-in-a-century World Trade Exhibition in Shanghai, and many people from foreign countries came to participate, and wanted my sister to follow to see the world. Seeing that the third uncle rarely took the initiative, the father was busy and happily sent his sister away, which must have arrived at the station. I was dumbfounded, and I always felt like it was a coincidence that things were all in one place. The teacher just said today that he was going to Peking to attend the discussion and wanted to take me with him, but my sister went to Shanghai and didn't even say hello. My mother said that my father went to see my sister, and I would not come back for a day or two, so I was told to follow the teacher with peace of mind and not worry. I thought about it, I will only go for a month, and then I will come back naturally, and I will go with peace of mind.

When I arrived at the station, I saw a guy with a smile on his face next to the teacher-Gu Shaoqing.

"Why are you there?"

It was the first time we'd seen him since we parted that day.

"Ah Zhao, this time a German scholar is also here, and Shaoqing knows many languages, so he just translates for me." The teacher laughed and said as we walked.

"Don't you want me to come? What a look of disgust. Gu Shaoqing said.

I bowed my head, my heart was a little empty, I was not ready, since he said something like that, but his mouth said strongly: "I was thinking that it was enough to have me, why do you bring one more person?"

"Teacher, listen, how ashamed you are of this apprentice?"

"Hahahaha, this girl of hers is always hard-mouthed, you are a senior brother, take care of her."

"Who needs him to take care of?" I muttered.

Gu Shaoqing just didn't hear it, and happily settled down with the teacher.

This is the first time I have come to Beiping, I always listened to my grandmother when I was young, I was a lady of Hanlin in the capital, and I had to follow Galeries Lafayette to Chengde to escape the summer every summer. At that time, my grandfather was a full bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and I was very valued by Lafayette, and all the instructions had to be read by my grandfather's hand before they were issued, and then the Eight-Nation Coalition Army called Beijing City, and Lafayette fled westward, and my grandfather stayed to follow Li Hongzhang, and died of illness soon after. The grandmother did not want to stay in the sad place, and took everyone back to their ancestral home. Later, the Qing Dynasty was gone, and my father quit his errand in Beijing and returned to Nanjing with his mother and sister.

I was raised by my grandmother and had not seen my father and mother since I was born. When I saw my dusty father come back, I was so frightened that I cried, thinking that my grandmother was going to give me away. At that time, the second uncle and aunt had just returned from Fujian, and when they saw me, they couldn't stop crying, and they laughed at me for not being productive.

Now, the jokes are still in my ears, but my grandmother has passed away, and I come to the place where she stayed when she was young, and there is only a sense of the vicissitudes of things and people.

When I am free, Gu Shaoqing will take me to run to various alleys, such as the Wenchang Palace in Mao'er Hutong, the fried belly in Tobacco Bag Xiejie, and the little sugar man in Nanluoguxiang, the old Beijing in Sijiu City, and there are always interesting and feelings that cannot be compared in the south.

While tasting the special snacks full of the flavor of old Beijing, I felt the sweet nourishment of new love without worry, and there was a peace in my heart that I had never felt before. If I was just grateful to Gu Shaoqing for his help at the beginning, then after these three months of getting along day and night, I have gradually begun to like this humorous brother who is five years older than me.

In the evening, the neon lights of the street lamps lit up, and through the translucent carved windows, thousands of raindrops shimmered. It was the first rain in Peiping, and it fell the day before we were ready to leave for home. The sky outside the house slowly darkened because of the rain, but the interior became brighter and brighter.

"Why are you so distracted? Are you afraid that your father will beat you when you go back? "Gu Shaoqing said something serious, but it made me speechless.

"I'm not afraid of my father, he definitely supports me. Besides, the teacher agreed, how could he object? I'm thinking about Mr. Gu. ”

"Father? What do you want him to do? ”

"I don't know, I always think my sister is weird before leaving, and I didn't take the opportunity to ask her. After I was gone for three months, I always felt panicked. ”

Gu Shaoqing scratched my nose and sat down: "Don't worry, our daughter-in-law is such a smart daughter-in-law, how could my father not like it?" He went to Shanghai when I came, and he didn't have time to say, you know, the relationship between our father and son is not very good, so I had to go back and tell him in person. ”

I nodded, hoping my suspicions were just cranky.

The autumn leaves in Beiping City are a lot redder, and I am starting to feel homesick.

The train arrived at the station at five o'clock in the afternoon, and Mu Bo and Shifang were waiting at the exit of the station, and when they saw us coming out, they hurriedly ran over.

"Finally back, your father and mother talk about it every day, and the eldest lady has said it many times." Mu Bo touched my head and smiled lovingly.

Shifang greeted the teacher with a smile: "Uncle Liu asked me to take your son back, and there is a reception banquet at home, which is waiting for you." He glanced at Gu Shaoqing next to him, and said to me again: "Haizhu is about to annoy me to death, I am looking forward to you every day, what do you have to report to you tomorrow, do you think it's okay?" The latter sentence was asked to Gu Shaoqing.

I saw him nod and said to me, "What Brother Shi said is that I will visit tomorrow, and it will not be too early today, so go back with him quickly." ”

The teacher also smiled and said, "Yes, go back to your father first, and I'll wait for him tomorrow." ”

"Okay."

Everyone parted ways at the train station and went with the car.

When I returned home, before I entered the door, Han's mother was already waiting at the door: "My ancestor, but I am looking forward to coming back, if I don't come back, we will all have to kill Beiping."

I giggled, "Look at what you said, didn't I come back?" ”

My father and mother also greeted me, and Haizhu, who I hadn't seen in March, hugged me and began to cry, scolding in her mouth, "Little conscienceless, you ran to be happy, but you want to kill me." ”

Everyone was clamoring and shouting, and for a while it seemed like the time of the New Year. Just as we were sitting down to set up dinner, a little girl hurriedly came in and reported, "The second wife is here." ”

I was wondering, how could she come? A shrill female voice had come in: "Oh my God, you can still eat!" What she said was not clear, and everyone present only thought that she had come out with some kind of moth, and they didn't bother to take care of her.

"Evil, if something like this happens, our Liu's face will be lost to Mingzhao's girl!"

Sister? What's going on?

"You don't need to tell you what's going on."
