Chapter 24
The next day, the two packed their things and went back to the city.
Although the hut is broken, when he returns here, Tang Yu is very down-to-earth.
The first thing I did when I entered the house was to wipe the ashes of the urn enshrined on the low cabinet, replace the dried fruit with fresh ones, put all kinds of small snacks on the plate, light a stick of incense and say goodbye, Tang Yu changed into a piece of home clothes and began to clean up the room.
When Gu Li came back from going to the toilet, he saw Tang Yu rubbing the floor, walked over, took the mop in Tang Yu's hand and said, "I'll come." ”
Since the two of them had happened to them, Gu Li had become a lot more active, and Tang Yu hadn't fully adapted to it, he looked at Gu Li's back in a daze and said, "Then I'll cook." ”
"Are you hungry?" Gu Li asked.
"Not yet." Tang said.
"That's not necessary, I'm not hungry." Gu Li said: "Your feet are inconvenient, go and lie on the bed for a while." And I didn't sleep well last night. ”
He did have insomnia last night, he thought Gu Li was asleep and didn't know about it.
Tang Yu didn't expect Gu Li to be so careful, and his eyes were so moved that his eyes were hot. He raised his hand and patted Gu Li's shoulder, "Our little six is so good at hurting people, I'm going to be moved to cry." ”
Gu Li glanced at Tang Yu, didn't speak, and continued to wipe the floor.
Tang Yu was indeed a little uncomfortable, so he simply lay on the bed to rest for a while. He turned on the TV, and when the midday news was broadcasting, he took out his notebook from the bedside table, and while listening to the news, he recalled the major events of the coming year according to the news.
This is a bit difficult for him, his memory is too poor, in fact, he can't remember the specific time of the incident at all, only when he watches the news will he sigh: Ah! I remembered, it turned out to be happening this year. In order to avoid missing out on good things or encountering bad things, Tang Yu has to read the newspaper and watch the news almost every day, trying to remember what might happen in the future.
Now the TV is showing the selection process of Yang Liwei, a prospective astronaut of the manned rocket "Shenzhou 5". Only then did Tang Yu remember that China's first successful launch of a manned rocket, and Yang Liwei's becoming China's first person in space, happened this year.
At this time, Gu Li had already finished mopping the ground, and he also sat on the edge of the bed and watched. Tang Yu knew that he had always been very interested in this kind of high-tech gadgets, and said with a smile: "I heard that the selection of astronauts is particularly strict, and it is one out of ten thousand, how good is this Yang Liwei's body?" To stand out from so many people. ”
"Well, he's great." Gu Li said: "In the early days, spacecraft had to undergo an overload of 6~8g in the active flight section and the return flight stage, so most of the astronauts were selected from the Air Force pilots or test pilots. Later, the mechanical environment of manned spacecraft continued to improve, and the overload of the space shuttle was about 2~3g. The physical requirements for astronauts have been reduced accordingly, but their physical qualities are still much stronger than ordinary people, otherwise they will not be able to withstand the harsh environment and conditions of space. They also have good psychological quality, be able to master complex operational skills and deal with unexpected situations. The cultural process is also very demanding, that's for sure. The most important thing is to be dedicated, and cowards can't go on space expeditions. ”
Tang Yu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Gu Li with admiration on his face, "Little Liu, you are so good, how do you understand so much?" ”
"I'm just interested in that." Gu Li watched the TV and said, "I once dreamed of being a pilot. Pilots have a better chance of going into space. ”
"Good boy, your dream is great!" Tang Yu sat up from the bed and sighed, "Then why don't you go to be a pilot?" Study hard and get into a military school. You're still so young, it's too late, if you want to go to school, brother will provide for you. ”
Gu Li didn't speak, Tang Yu knew that he heard it.
"Huh? Do you hear that? Tang Yu tugged at his sleeve.
"I don't want to do it now." Gu Li said lightly.
"And what do you want to do?" Tang Yu tilted his head to look at him, "You're so smart, what a pity to show me the store?" ”
Gu Li turned his head to look at him, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What's the matter, you dislike me?" ”
Tang Yu was stunned, the playful smile on the other party's face was too dazzling, would his Xiaoliu also be joking? He hurriedly shook his head, "How can it?" It's too late for me to be happy, I'm afraid you'll hate me. ”
"Big brother is so good, how can I hate you?" Gu Li said: "I haven't figured out what to do for the time being, big brother, give me some time." ”
The other party's eyes were focused and serious, and Tang Yu pursed his lips and nodded.
Gu Li needs time, and he needs time. We both need time to think about what to do next.
Yesterday, about Xiao Han, Tang Yu actually wanted to continue to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask anything. This kid's mind is too heavy, his mouth is too tight, he doesn't want to say it, no matter how he asks, he won't tell anyone.
Xiao Han is already dead, whether Gu Lixi likes him or not, he is a rival in love, and he can't be jealous of a dead man. can know that Gu Li has someone in his heart, and the source of his sadness and pain is this person, Tang Yu is not very good in his heart.
He felt that he really owed, why did he ask Xiao Han who he was?
Xiao Han was originally just an innocuous episode in his spring-dream, but now he is speculating all the time about what happened to the other party and their Xiaoliu.
I didn't sleep much last night, and my mind was full of Xiao Liu's smile and smile, from the acquaintance to the present, Tang Yu finally knew that Xiao Liu's coldness, Xiao Liu's sadness, and Xiao Liu's expression were all because of the boy named Xiao Han.
"I'll be responsible for you." This is what Xiao Liu said. Tang Yu smiled bitterly, he didn't want this sentence at all. He wants to hear the other person say: I like you, so I want to be with you. Instead: I'm responsible for you, so I'm with you.
But Tang Yu knew that it was a miracle that the other party was willing to be with him when he had someone in his heart, and it was too early to talk about liking. After all, the child is only 18 years old, and the person he likes has just passed away, how can he accept the love of others lightly? Knowing that Xiaoliu is so dedicated, Tang Yu likes him more.
It will definitely take a long time for Xiaoliu to come out of the shadows and gradually accept himself. This has to be put in the past, when he meets a boy he likes so much, he must be stalking, trying his best to make the other party like him in the shortest possible time. Now he won't do that. Getting along with people is a very profound science, and you need to use different ways to interact with different people. There is no absolute right or wrong, only suitable and inappropriate.
He should actually thank Zhao Hang, he can grow emotionally, all thanks to him.
This time, Tang Yu was determined to work hard to get rid of his impatience. He has to manage this relationship carefully and not be too anxious. If Gu Li was also scared away by himself like Zhao Hang, then his life would be in vain.
A friend once told him that he didn't ask the other party to love him, nor did he expect his family to accept them, he just hoped that there would be a man who was willing to be by his side regardless of whether he was rich or poor, and lived a down-to-earth life. At that time, he was a fool who was in love first, and he couldn't live without love, and he was particularly scornful of this buddy's remarks, but now he thinks what he said is really great, because now, he thinks so too.
The most difficult thing in this world is that two people who love each other can live the days of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea with peace of mind. There's a lot of knowledge and wisdom in it.
This is something that Tang Yu has only recently realized.
After reading the news, both of them were a little sleepy, and naturally fell asleep together.
When I woke up, it was already dark, and there was a very noisy sound in the courtyard, it was Ji Xiaobei and Jin Wei who had returned from their hometown in the Northeast.
The door was not locked, and the brothers did not have the habit of knocking on the door, so they pushed the door in directly, Ji Xiaobei walked to the side of the bed, touched the dark, rubbed the two of them one by one, and shouted: "Big brother, little six, when will you two come back?" I'm dying of hunger, big brother hurry up and cook, Gangzi and I have brought a lot of specialties from our hometown! ”
"Really? What did you bring? Tang Yu rubbed his eyes and sat up.
"The mushrooms I dug from the mountains, and the pheasant meat made of steel, let's make chicken stewed mushrooms and eat them, right?" In the dark, the sound of Ji Xiaobei sucking saliva could be heard, and Ji Xiaobei sat on the edge of the bed, excitedly mentioning.
"That's a good thing!" Tang Yu smiled and looked at Gu Li beside him, "Little Liu, haven't you eaten our chicken stewed mushrooms in the Northeast, right?" ”
"Nope." Gu Li got up and pressed the light switch, and the room suddenly lit up as day.
Ji Xiaobei wrinkled his nose and looked around the room, and finally stopped his gaze on Tang Yu's feet, "Big brother, what's wrong with your feet?" ”
"Hey, don't mention it, I was unlucky, I was pierced by a nail on the bridge, and I sat on the shore for an afternoon the day before yesterday.
"Hahaha, huh? How many boys are there? Isn't it just the two of you? Ji Xiaobei asked.
"There is also a partner's nephew, he went to Miyun with their classmates to play, and they happened to meet, so they played together. Xiaoliu played well with them, he could talk, laugh and make trouble, and he left me alone. I'm still wondering, did I bring the wrong person? Didn't bring Xiaoliu, but brought you and Shanzi? ”
Ji Xiaobei was amused by Tang Yu and laughed, "Really? Xiaoliu, then you usually pretend to be deep with us, don't you? ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Gu Li's face, and he looked at Tang Yu and said, "Your feet are inconvenient, can you cook?" ”
"Yes, how can it be so strict, it will be fine in two days." Tang Yu got out of bed as he spoke, and it really hurt a little when he stepped on the ground. He hissed, and Gu Li hurriedly walked over to support Tang Yu.
"Are you alright?" Gu Li asked.
"It's okay, I slept in a daze, and I forgot which foot was pierced for a while." Tang Yu joked.
"Hey, Xiaoliu is much more cheerful when he goes out once! It didn't collapse the three-character scripture. Ji Xiaobei said in surprise.
Gu Li ignored Ji Xiaobei and whispered, "I'll go and help you wash the vegetables first." ”
"Hmm" Tang Yu took the opportunity to touch Gu Li's waist, Gu Li's body stiffened, and he took a deep look at Tang Yu, Tang Yu was blown up by the young man's sharp eyes, and quickly let go of his hand, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, you go." ”
Tang Yu pumped his two big mouths in his heart. Owe it, chop it off.
Gu Li left the room, and Ji Xiaobei said with a smile: "Yo, big brother, it's not a small harvest to go out once, the relationship has improved by leaps and bounds, where have you two developed?" ”
Tang Yu chuckled in his heart, but immediately reacted that the other party was joking with him, he pulled his hair and said with a smile: "That's what you asked, didn't you see that we both slept together?" Where do you say it has been? ”
"Oh, mom, big brother, you're too open, aren't you?" Ji Xiaobei was startled, grinned and asked, "Then which of you two rides whom?" ”
"Needless to say? Of course it is, it's me ......" Tang Yu was speechless for a while, and suddenly remembered the events of that night, and his white face suddenly swollen red. Ji Xiaobei didn't notice the other party's abnormality at all, and coaxed there, "Hahaha, big brother, why are you blushing?" Why were you ridden by Little Liu? ”
Tang Yu cleared his throat, glared at Ji Xiaobei, and snorted coldly: "Tsk, what are you talking nonsense? Do you look like you're being ridden by someone? The person who rides me hasn't been born yet, and if you want to ride, I'll ride someone else! ”
"Isn't that like that? Brother, you don't know yourself too well, you always look like you're being ridden. Ji Xiaobei said.
"What are you so ......" Tang Yu's face was already red and purple, and he kicked Ji Xiaobei's ass, "Fuck off, don't eat farts tonight." ”
"Don't, big brother, I'm messing around with you! Actually, you don't look like you're riding at all, you're riding someone else's, really! ”
As soon as Ji Xiaobei's voice fell, Tang Yu flew another kick, and Ji Xiaobei hurriedly flashed out of the hut.
"How dare you say that? You kid don't want to die, don't you? Tang Yu jumped on one leg and chased out of the room, making the landlord and neighbors laugh back and forth with a funny look.
Jin Wei and Gu Li were choosing vegetables in front of the sink, and Ji Xiaobei rushed behind the two to avoid Tang Yu's attack, "Big brother, spare my life, I was wrong!" Aren't you a rider? Can't we all ride it for you? ”
After saying this, even the iron-faced Jin Wei burst out laughing.
In front of his sweetheart, Tang Yu obviously restrained a lot, he stepped on the injured foot on the foot of the other foot, the whole person was in a T-shape, one hand picked the cigarette in his trouser pocket, and the other hand groped for the lighter, this series of actions made him look like an unlucky guy who was punished by the teacher. Almost everyone was amused by Tang Yu's appearance, Tang Yu didn't realize it, and said half-jokingly while looking down for a cigarette: "Who wants to ride you?" You still want me to ride because you're so skinny? Do you deserve it too? ”
"Oh, my eldest brother dislikes me, that steel is strong, steel is for you to ride, is it okay?" Ji Xiaobei laughed and his whole body twitched.
Without waiting for Tang Yu to react, Jin Wei was not happy and scolded: "Fart, get out!" What are you fooling around? ”
"It's over, big brother, Gangzi hates you. Then you ride Little Six. Ji Xiaobei tore off Gu Li's shirt and patted his sturdy chest, "Look at our figure, what's the matter, are you satisfied this time?" ”
Just what the doctor ordered! Tang Yu was just about to open his mouth to speak, but Gu Li stood up suddenly, almost knocking Ji Xiaobei behind him into a big stump.
Gu Li put the vegetable basin into the pool with a cold face, and began to wash the vegetables with his head stuffy, and his hard and cold attitude made the hot atmosphere of the scene suddenly turn into ice and fire.
The world fell silent in an instant.
"What's wrong? Little Liu, what kind of wind are you smoking? Ji Xiaobei asked in a low voice.
Jin Wei pushed him with his elbow, "You just had a convulsion, right?" Hurry up and get to work, I'm starving. ”
"Oh...... Xiaoliu is also hungry, right? Ji Xiaobei comforted himself.
Tang Yu tapped Ji Xiaobei with his finger, and Ji Xiaobei stuck out his tongue. Pointing at Gu Li with his chin, it means letting Tang Yu take a look at Gu Li. Tang Yu hurriedly put the lighter and cigarette that had just been turned out back into his pocket, jumped to Gu Li's side, and helped him wash the vegetables, "Little Liu, I'll come, you go into the house and wait for dinner." ”
Gu Li glanced at him, and his originally cold expression softened a little. "No, you don't." He said.
Tang Yu looked at him for a few seconds, then patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said loudly: "Okay, help me cut the vegetables after washing, I will only be in charge of the spoon today, and you will take care of the chores." ”
"Xinglak!" Ji Xiaobei accosted, jumped up and said, "I'll make a fire." ”
"I'm going to cut the meat." Jin Wei whispered.
"Well, it's a bit quick." Tang said.
Tang Yu looked at the young men and smiled, walked to the landlord's door with his feet crossed, took out three cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to the landlord, and said with a smile: "Uncle Dong, have you eaten?" ”
"Haha, just finished eating." The landlord took the cigarette, saw that it was Chinese, looked into the house, and saw that his daughter-in-law was watching TV with her back to them, he quickly sniffed it under his nose, snickered and stuffed it into his shirt pocket. "Hey, little Tang'er, you give me a palm, how about our bird?"
"Where am I going to see this?" Tang Yu looked at the bird in the cage and praised: "Oh, this bird is beautiful enough, what's the name?" ”
"This is the Jin Qing'er I just got." The landlord proudly said: "The market sells less than this amount, I got it without spending a penny." ”
"Is this a good thing?" Tang whistling teases birds.
"My nephew is in the Guanyuan Flowers, Birds, Fish and Insects Market, if I get this thing, can he still ask me for money?" The landlord smiled and said, "Hey, by the way, if you have anything you like, just mention it to me, let him take the goods, the price is lower than others, and the quality is guaranteed." ”
Tang Yu smiled: "Then I have to thank you in advance, but how can I have time to raise this thing, the company's affairs are still too busy." ”
"Yes, I see that your business is getting bigger and bigger, it's powerful enough."
"Hey, what a big business, small business, tossing."
"Be modest, I see that you kid is not a fish in the pond, sooner or later you have to have a big future."
"Hahaha, hey, then I can ask you for good words." Tang Yu extinguished the cigarette butt, looked at his watch and said, "I have to prepare dinner, my brothers are hungry." By the way, Uncle Dong, I want to use your freezer later, do you still have open space? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, enough for you to put half a fan of pork." The landlord exaggerated.
"Okay, thank you in advance."
"You're welcome." The landlord's eyes turned into a slit with a smile, and he stopped Tang Yu, "Hey, little Tang'er, let me ask you something." ”
"Hey, you say." Tang Yu turned to look at the landlord.
"How old are you?"
"It's 23 next month."
"It's so young. Is there a target? ”
Tang Yu smiled, "What's the matter, do you want to help me introduce?" ”
"yes, I'll tell you, I'm ......"
"I've got a partner."
"Huh? Oh, really? ”
"yes."
"Whose girl is so blessed?"
"The girl of the old Gu family."
"Old Gu's family?"
"My fellow countryman."
"Oh, fellow...... Hello fellow. ”
"You're busy, I'll go first."
"Oh oh...... the landlord looked at Tang Yu's back and smacked his mouth, "Why do you have a good young man?" It's a pity. ”
"Dad! You let me in! Xiaolan shouted in the house.
"What?" The landlord replied to her angrily.
"Who told you to ask him?" Xiaolan stomped her feet angrily, "It's not him that I like." ”
"You know a? You want your mom to tell me, isn't Don much better than that cold stupid big guy? ”
"Which do you like me?"
"I'm you, my son, why can't I care?"
"You can't take care of it!"
"It's against you, if you dare to be nice to that kid, see if I don't discount your legs."
"What a fart, people don't even look at me, what are you worried about."
"What? You've had a crush on you for a long time! ”
"What a crush!? I'm in love, and I'm called unrequited love. ”
"Hey! Are you still a good thing? That kid doesn't do his job all day, what is worthy of you? I don't like you? ”
"Hmph, people are better than me everywhere. Pan Er Liang (good looking), Tiao Er Shun (good figure), smart, honest, I have never seen a better man than him. ”
"Hey, hey! Why did I give birth to such a stupid girl as you, don't be ashamed! Shame on me! The landlord thumped his chest in anger.
"Okay, okay, can you two stop for a while! People are watching TV series, and they don't hear a word. Annoying! The voice of the landlord's daughter-in-law successfully stopped the quarrel between the two.
The hut was not soundproofed, and the conversation between them reached the ears of the brothers intermittently. Ji Xiaobei and Jin Wei listened to it as a joke, and they also joked about Gu Li, Gu Li was unexpectedly calm, and he was completely indifferent to the chat content of the landlord's family.
Tang Yu wondered, he didn't react to such a hot content, so why was he so angry before?
