"Uncle, uncle, have you slept. Zhou Juyang probed his brain at the door of the communication room.

"What time is it, you haven't entered school yet, don't you kid have no social activities, why didn't you come back now. The security guard slashed his head and covered his face from the window.

"Today isn't Ao Chen's birthday, everyone in the department has gone, I didn't want to be pulled hard, but you know that I don't like to join in the fun, and I don't like to take advantage of others, so I came back, I came back running. ”

"Oh~ I remembered, the eldest young master was in the largest hotel in Nashouchun, and he also booked a room in a five-star hotel for everyone to the school leaders, which is only a treatment on TV, are you willing to come back?" The uncle looked at Zhou Juyang, who was sweating profusely, suspiciously, and the whole person was dirty like a sheep rolling in watercolor.

"Of course. Zhou Juyang was a little weak-hearted, but fortunately, his pants had dried during the run, and the smell of sweat slightly covered up the unspeakable fishy smell.

The uncle got up with a snort, took out the key and opened the small door.

"I don't know how embarrassed you were to come back from the drum area in front of those big girls and little sisters. "It's a bustling commercial pedestrian street, and it's the only way back to the university district, and the night market is at its peak at night.

"Uncle, you are so sharp-tongued, suggesting to be a satirist!"

Zhou Juyang pulled his head and didn't say a word. Sideways flashed through the small open door.

The old host made a tractor-like squeak, and finally jumped to the Windows interface for a long time. Zhou Juyang, who had changed his clothes, turned on the computer in a hurry, wanting to apologize to Canaan, he didn't want the only friend who could practice with him in the battle group to abandon him.

"Your campus network is in arrears, please pay the fee before using it. Looking at the time in the lower right corner, Zhou Juyang looked up to the sky and sighed, so he could only go to the Internet café all night.

"Uncle, can you open the door again, I have to go out again. Zhou Juyang pitifully lay on the window of the communication room and shouted quietly.

"Are you finished?" the uncle's slurred roar tore through his eardrums.

"Promise, this is the last time!, otherwise I won't have class this Friday and I'll help you pick up Xiao Muzi," Zhou Juyang promised.

"It's not profitable, are you going to go out to surf the Internet, and you forgot to pay the Internet fee this month?"

"Uncle, how do you know, it's just a clever calculation. “

"Go, go, don't slap me on the back, who doesn't know you, everyone stays up late in the library to study, so you go to the Internet café and stay up late to play what star or tyrant? I don't know how you were admitted to Yunzhong University, what should I do if you are expelled?"

"It's okay, I'll follow you uncle, you will guard the gate, enough to play games online and not starve to death. Zhou Juyang looked indifferent. "In addition, you can see the beauties of all the colleges, which is good. ”

"You, you, you... What are you talking about, is it worth looking at the gate?" the doorman blew his beard and glared with an expression of hatred that iron is not made of steel.

Seeing the uncle shake his head and sigh, he climbed back to the sofa in the communication room. I lit up the screen of my mobile phone, there was still half an hour before the all-night time at 10:27, I calculated the change in my hand, and decided to go to the commissary next to the Internet café to buy a bowl of instant noodles and ham sausages, comfort my body after running for three hours, and add a meal to my birthday by the way.

"I wish you a happy birthday", Zhou Juyang thought silently in his heart, squatting on the side of the road and tearing up the bag.

Zhou Juyang has known that he is different from other children since he was a child, for example, on a rainy day, the adults holding umbrellas at the school gate will gather together, waiting for the bell to ring, and then the students of the same grade will leave one by one, and he can only wait in the classroom until the rain stops, or sneak out of the gate against the rain before the school gate closes, as he gets closer and closer to home, the clothes and shoes on his body are also wet, he simply walked barefoot, jumped up the square on the bluestone slab in the alley, and occasionally passers-by looked like they saw a wild child, and threw down a sentence"The adults in the family don't know how to take care of it. Then he walked away with his umbrella. Zhou Juyang didn't care, although his school uniform was dirty now, but every morning when he got up, he could see them neatly folded at the head of the bed, with the smell of soap like brand new.

"Squeak squeak"

Ascending the dilapidated stairway, there was a tooth-aching sound of rusty iron doors, a few flickers of smoky yellow lamps illuminating the blackened wood-framed mottled walls, and a wooden table made of stacked paper, covered with a few pickles and meat foam to cover the rice. As well as the only writing desk that looks slightly more expensive than the rest of the furniture, and the stationery spread on the table, the living room and the kitchen are the only room with a panoramic view.

"Mom has to work the night shift tonight, the meal is still hot when it's ready, remember to do homework after eating, and go to bed at nine o'clock. The font is a little sloppy, it seems that the writing is in a hurry, Zhou Juyang has long been accustomed to this kind of life, his mother's face is a little blurred in his impression, only occasionally look at the group photo placed on the desk every time used to press the letter, in order to take a closer look at the appearance, since he began to go to elementary school, every day he only occasionally glimpsed the sound of his mother coming home in his sleepy eyes, and every day he was awakened by the sound on the stove to see the back of the hurried out.

After he finished rubbing the neighborhood kid's Zorro cartoon, he felt that his mother was Zorro, and he was punishing the strong and helping the weak when he went out every night. But the friends who played together in the alley didn't believe it, and told him that none of the prisoners in the newspaper had a Z-shaped mark on their clothes, and he was not convinced, so he found all the newspapers that published the arrest of the prisoners and checked them one by one, and then he didn't believe it either, because it took him a month and he didn't find a prisoner with a Z-shaped mark.

"What is this?" Zhou Juyang, who ran downstairs after finishing his homework, looked at the friends who were supposed to be playing hide and seek sitting around, his eyes were shining, and he stood on tiptoe to see a square machine emitting light.

"It's a game console, and there are so many games in it. The child watching from the side answered him.

"Don't look at it, let's play hide and seek, I found a place today and you won't find it. No one responded to him.

A week later, many of the children in the alley had their hands on the game console, and the game of hide and seek was never mentioned again.

"How much does this cost?. Zhou Juyang asked the boy who first started playing with the game console, and the other party said that his small piggy bank was far from reaching the number. From then on, his daily grid jumping activity after school turned into collecting bottles and iron blocks, and when he held a pile of coins from the commissary to exchange for the game console, he found that the game consoles of his friends had changed.

"You're outdated, it's been around for more than half a year. A child glanced at the dirty child standing in front of them from the game world.

"It's called PSP, it's the latest game console, and I begged my grandmother for a long time to get it. The other child shook the handheld in his hand with a proud expression.

"I can... Can I return it?" Zhou Juyang wandered around the entrance of the commissary for several hours, and finally mustered up the courage to ask cautiously.

The shopkeeper with his messy hair and stubble looked up with a cigarette in his mouth and looked back at the computer screen. "Wait, I'll give you back when I bulldoze the other side. “

On the computer screen, the stinging snake and the puppy scream in front of the lightning and turn into blood, and the airdropped golden beetles slaughter the peasants on the opposite side under the airdrop of the transport plane.

"What is this?" Zhou Juyang stared intently at the game screen.

"StarCraft. The other party typed "GG".

From then on, the small store in the alley had a small figure lying at the door of the store watching the owner play interstellar.

"Does your family know that you watch me play games at my place every day?" Jiang Yixiu took a cigarette in his mouth and looked helplessly at the little ghost in front of him who came to watch him play interstellar every day. After chasing him a few times to no avail, he decided to have a good talk with him.

"My mother is always not at home, I am alone at home, you can rest assured that I come here to watch you play interstellar after finishing my homework every time. "The child was on tiptoe on the floor, a little scared.

"That's not good, what should I do if your family comes to trouble me when the time comes?" Extinguishing the cigarette butts in the empty cans, Jiang Yixiu issued an eviction order. Shifting his gaze back to the computer screen, he had just caught a glimpse of the tears rolling in the imp's eyes with the peripheral eye of his eyes.

"Why don't you let him see it?"

He relented for a moment, but quickly dismissed the idea. "Hurry up, or I'll go to school and tell your teacher." After the warning, he switched back to the game interface, and the footsteps quickly faded away. Jiang Yixiu breathed a sigh of relief, the farmer encountered a large group of worker bees with puppies on the way to investigate, and there was a wave of rush on the opposite side!

"Dog ratio, it's 6D again. After cursing, he immediately tried to use architecture to block the opposite side of the rush, and suddenly a worker bee rushed out of the shadows and began patrolling the intersection of his main mine. "You can't summon crystals in the area. The adjutant's frequent prompt sounds almost drove him crazy, this was the other party's puppy and worker bees had been killed, and he had no choice but to take out the probe and fight to the death with the other party.

“GG”。 Fidgety, let go of the keyboard, lit a cigarette and lay on his back in the computer chair, the wave of perfect calculations on the other side made him a little unhappy.

"I'm not lying, you see!" the little ghost who went back and forth held up the workbook and workbook, and showed him pages of neat answers and red pen annotations. His reddened cheeks and eye sockets made him look like a wronged little hamster.

Jiang Yixiu straightened up, extinguished the half-smoked cigarette, and apologized with his hands folded with an expression of sparing me. "Okay, well, it's me who is arrogant, please forgive me. ”

The child, who had put away his schoolbag again, hiccuped and quietly wiped his tears, "Let's eat this." He stood up and took a piece of coconut candy from the candy box on the counter and handed it to the imp. "Okay, don't cry manly man, don't flick if you have tears. “

The child took the candy cube, the smell of maltose syrup soothed his emotions, and after stopping his crying, he fumbled for a rusty stationery box in his school bag, carefully counted out three dime coins and put them on the counter, with an expression after you don't want me to continue crying.

"Thank you for your patronage. Jiang Yixiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was considered to have taken this stubborn child.

"That's... Can I come every day. ”

"Whatever you want. Jiang Yixiu took out a game magazine and studied it.

Since then, the small grocery store on the corner has added a little temporary guy.

"There are two bottles of detergent and a bowl brush, for a total of six yuan. After the child counted his things, he skillfully took out the bag from the counter and packed it. Jiang Yixiu came back to his senses from the battle on the interstellar battlefield, and looked at the little ghost who jumped off the low stool with his feet out of the corner of his eye, a little embarrassed.

"How do you know how much I'm selling for these things? Earlier, Jiang Yixiu looked at the little ghost who quoted the price accurately with a surprised expression.

"When I was looking at the door before, I remembered that someone was buying. "The imp is a little shy.

Dropping down the notebook marked with the price of the goods, Jiang Yixiu gave him a thumbs up.

"Why are you waiting for me. Swallowing a big sip of beer, Jiang Yixiu looked at the little ghost in front of him who was slow to move his chopsticks, urging him to eat quickly. For the past two months, he would come to the grocery store to help out after school, and after the rush hour, he would start to do his homework and watch him play StarCraft and come home on time at 8 o'clock.

Today, he estimated that the little ghost went to the vegetable market after class to buy a bunch of braised vegetables and barbecue, and waited for the little ghost to get out of school and treat him well.

The child carefully picked up the roast chicken leg and took a gentle bite. Cumin and oil are mixed with crunchy chicken skin, and "it turns out that this is the taste of grilled chicken thighs." There were also stalls at the school gate, but he had only seen other children holding chicken legs and eating with their mouths full of oil. He raised his head and looked gratefully at the sloppy uncle in front of him who was taking a sip of beer and lamb skewers.

"Uncle is a good man. "After the child came to the grocery store to help, he understood several things, the first is that many sisters and aunts who come to buy things are mainly to see the uncle, because there is a new big supermarket out of the alley. The second is that none of the stickers of the star idols posted by the little girls in the class are more handsome than the uncle, and the third is that the uncle's StarCraft is actually playing in general, although the keyboard is crackling for a while, but it is just a seemingly master.

This is the fullest meal a child has ever eaten, and one big and one small lie on a wicker chair with a bulging belly and watch the stars.

"Uncle, do you really have an El? "Today is the waning moon, and the stars are exceptionally bright in the sky.

"Whew. Snoring was already heard from the wicker chair next to him. "The ...... of the mountain. ”

When the child got up from the wicker chair, the uncle seemed to be muttering something, but he didn't understand, so he looked at the door with his chin propped up.

After playing three rounds, the uncle switched back to QQ from the game screen.

"What kind of architecture are you, not to mention a puppy, my big cow can walk in. A person with a king insect avatar on QQ smiled and mocked Jiang Yixiu.

"I want you to take care of it, I'm luring the enemy in, let you in and then seal you with architecture, and call the door to close the door and beat the dog!" The uncle stiffened his neck and tapped the keyboard wildly.

"Oh, then why did you and I end this BO5 in less than twenty minutes? It seems that the genius didn't calculate that I couldn't beat the dog, right? "The child sits on the chair and can imagine the triumphant look of the other person behind the screen.

"You, you, you... Jiang Yixiu patted the mouse angrily, and the balance ball in the mouse rolled out a long way. "Another BO3. After receiving the balance ball handed by the imp, he made a battle book again.

"You better go back and practice more, I'm going to a swimsuit party." After Wang Worm finished speaking, his avatar turned gray. "I'm so angry, this birdman is enlarging and recruiting me. Jiang Yixiu angrily tore open the lollipop, crushed the candy ball with his teeth and chewed it heavily.

"Uncle, LUNA shouldn't be so blocked on this map, you should build two crystals and a barracks to block it. The child flipped through the interstellar section of the popular online newspaper, and there happened to be an explanation of the architecture of the Protoss on this map.

"What? Jiang Yixiu, who jumped up from the chair, snatched the newspaper, and the pictures and texts on it explained in detail the architecture of the Protoss, as well as the new tactics.

"Haha, I understand, next time I will definitely beat his ass to urine, first go to the platform to find someone to practice" Jiang Yi, who finished sweeping the column, raised his eyebrows and danced, and couldn't wait to start inviting people to practice in the room of the battle platform.

"Juyang, help me get a lollipop again, I want a mint-flavored one, that one is sober. ”。

"Okay, there are not enough things in the daily necessities area, and Uncle Zhang didn't buy detergent before. ”

"Got it, got it, I'm going to buy it tomorrow, and you're going to see if the architecture in the newspaper is doing that?"
