In the afternoon, Fluttershy and Yun Yun go back to their home first, and Chen Rundong takes his classmates to visit Wen Tingyun first.

"Sister, what are you going to do?" Yun Yun asked, opening the box and putting the contents back in their original positions.

"You're really not going to Shanghai?" Fluttershy sits on the edge of the bed and watches her busy.

"At least I don't want to go now," Yun Yun stopped and frowned, "But it's really not used to living alone in such an empty house, and it's scary." ”

"If you don't want to go, don't live alone at home, you can go to your cousin's house or Beiyan's house, if something happens here, you can't deal with it."

"Yes." Yun Yun put away the things again, put them back in the small box, and said, "I'm almost twenty too, I should try to live alone, I can't always stick to you, I'll live alone first." ”

"That's a good thing."

"Well, although I'm a little scared and a little reluctant to you, it's all normal, everyone has to face it, sister, don't you say?" Yun Yun left these things behind and sat on the bed.

"Yes." Fluttershy laughs, "It's really grown." ”

"I've grown up a long time ago, and you spoiled me as if I were young." Yunyun leans on Fluttershy's shoulder, fantasizing about what it would be like to leave her brother, who has lived together for twenty years.

Fluttershy holds her hand, relieved and emotional.

The day was tiring enough, and Yun Yun felt sleepy, but Fluttershy fell asleep, and Fluttershy put her arms around her, hesitating, wondering if she really wanted to leave Yun Yun and go to Shanghai.

After more than ten minutes, Yun Yun was still immersed in her dreams and fell asleep sweetly.

"Xiao Yun—" The voice downstairs suddenly shouted.

Fluttershy hears that it's Chen Rundong's voice, so she holds Yunyun on the bed, covers her with the quilt, and goes to the balcony to watch.

"Sister Fluttershy, is Yun at home?" Chen Rundong raised his head and asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"We really need her help, we can't find a cheaper place to live."

"What can she do to help, I'll help you find it, she's asleep."

"Thank you, Fluttershy."

Fluttershy nods, leaves a note for the sleeping Yunyun, and goes out to take Chen Rundong to find a house. She originally planned to rent her family's house to them to live in, but once Chen Rundong lived, Yun Yun probably didn't want to leave, it was too bad for a girl to live with a few big men, so she dispelled this idea and decided to go out to find a house for them.

Fluttershy came out to see that several of their classmates were waiting outside, "The houses in this area are more expensive, so if you don't think it's too far, you can go to ** Tong over there to have a look." Fluttershy says.

"It's not too far, as long as you can live in people, you can shelter from the wind and rain, and it's cheaper." Chen Rundong said busily.

Fluttershy purses her lips and smiles, thinking that the students are not particular and admires them.

**In the same area, the houses are all old, and they are relatively close to where Zhuang Yuncheng used to live, so Fluttershy is more familiar, although the alleys here are staggered, and it looks like a maze when you walk in, but it is difficult for her. She leads a group of people through the alley, Chen Rundong and the others are a little dizzy, and Fluttershy walks around looking for a bigger house, and there are eight of them here.

"Sister Fluttershy," Chen Rundong asked, "there are so many houses here, why did you take us around?" ”

"What I saw just now isn't big enough, how can I accommodate a few of you?" Fluttershy asks, "You don't want eight people to live in a scattered space, do you?" ”

Chen Rundong smiled and explained: "It turns out that because of this, you don't have to worry, no matter how small we are, we can live in it, I think these houses are actually big enough, half the size of a collective dormitory, enough." ”

"Is that enough? There are eight of you. Fluttershy looks at him in amazement.

"That's enough, in fact, as long as that room can fit eight beds, I think it's quite suitable, so you don't have to choose, and the big house is more expensive."

"That's right." Fluttershy doesn't say much, knowing that they are hard-working students who don't care so much, so she points to the room in front of her and says, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

She knocked on the door, and a middle-aged woman came to open it, "...... are you?" she asked, puzzled.

"Auntie, we are here to rent a house, do you have a vacant house to rent to us?" Chen Rundong asked.

"Empty house...... Yes, there are, but there are piles of debris, and they are not big, how many people do you live? The old lady asked.

"Eight."

"Eight?" The eldest lady was surprised, "That can't live." ”

"Let's see, if we can't stay, we can live three or four."

"Oh." The eldest lady led them through the door, and when she entered through the side door, she saw a room.

"No, this is it."

Fluttershy opens the door, and a cold, dry air with a musty smell hits her face, and she backs away and waves her hand in front of her face.

Chen Rundong and other eight people came over to see, and said with a smile: "Such a big room, not small, enough for eight people, I estimate, there are eight beds next to each other, and there can be a one- or two-meter aisle in the middle, and all the things of the eight of us can be placed in the corner, and a table is placed next to the door, and you can also put writing." ”

"Huh?" The old lady asked in surprise, "Do you want to live eight people in this room?" No, no, my yard is a small yard, when you talk about it, it's not noisy, how can we live a good life? ”

"Auntie, let them live, they only stay one night and don't bother you," Fluttershy pulled over and said, "They are studious young people, they don't have much money, they can't afford to rent more houses, you make an offer, they pay half, I pay half for them, and pay a year's rent directly." ”

The old lady thinks about it, agrees, and makes a price, which Fluttershy thinks is a lot, but it is only a dozen oceans, so she pays half of it, and the old lady asks Chen Rundong and others for the other half.

After that, the eight of them decided to stay here, and at this point they began to pack their things.

Fluttershy pulled Chen Rundong and said, "Then I'll go back, you clean up after yourself, look at the clutter and dust in this room, you have to clean up for a while." ”

"Okay, thank you, Fluttershy."

"No thanks, also, Yun Yun may be looking for you, you pack up and come to our house tomorrow, see what she says."

"Okay." Chen Rundong agreed.

When it was about to get dark, Yun Yun woke up and saw the small note left behind, so she waited at home.

"It's really lonely to be alone." She walked to the balcony, looked at the gray and dark sky, and was physically and mentally afraid, so she found a dress to wear, thinking about her brother who might still be on the train, she said to herself: "Brother, how are you?" I'm probably going to be separated from you for a while... But it doesn't matter, you've been with me for 20 years, I can't always dominate you, and I have to give my sister a chance, right, when my sister goes, you won't be alone..."

As she thinks, Fluttershy returns and buys some groceries.

"Sister—"

"Huh," Fluttershy looked up and smiled, "We'll cook our own meals tonight." ”

"Okay, I'll come down." Yun Yun jumped down, and the two sisters cooked by themselves, and simply made a few side dishes.

"Sister, when are you leaving?" Yun Yun asked reservedly chewing the dish.

"Don't worry, I'll stay with you for a few more days." Fluttershy says, "I'll have to wait until he's settled in Shanghai and writes to me to find out where he lives." ”

"Oh, uh... Senior brother, have they all settled down? ”

"Settled, he said he would come to you tomorrow."

"Huh?" Yun Yun smiled shyly and asked, "Why are you still looking for me?" ”

"How do I know?" Fluttershy said deliberately.

Yun Yun thought about it, and finished her meal sullenly, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"Who's washing the dishes?" Fluttershy asks, putting her chopsticks down.

"Of course I'll wash it, you can find a house for them today and buy vegetables and do it, it's hard work, I'll wash it." Yun Yun smiled, rolled up her sleeves, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks to wash the dishes.

Fluttershy is still sitting, her chin in her hands, her two round eyes staring out the door, and there seems to be a figure moving in the darkness, she gets up to look, but the figure doesn't move.

"Miss." A voice came from the darkness.

"Who are you?" Fluttershy asks as she opens the door.

"It's me." He took two steps closer.

"Old, you...... Out of prison? ”

"It's out."

Fluttershy thinks that he must be in trouble, and although he has made a big mistake, the time in prison is also a punishment, and he should not be too indifferent to him, so he is told to enter the door, and through the very faint darkness of the night and the light from the room, Fluttershy sees him a little more clearly, he has lost a lot of weight, his hair is cut to an inch long, and he is wearing shabby clothes, but his eyes are much cleaner.

"I remember seeing you once in prison, the young master said that you were smoking a lot, are you still smoking?" Fluttershy asks.

"No, I was in prison for a month, I quit, and I didn't have any money to smoke after I came out."

"Where do you live these days?"

"I don't have a place to live, I don't dare to see my sister like this, and I don't want to go back to my hometown." Chen Nian suddenly knelt on the ground and said calmly: "I know that I am a scoundrel, a gangster, and a waste, the young master warned me and told me not to come to him again, but this time I came, I am just willing to accept any punishment, even if I break one of my legs, I just want to ask the young master to take me in." ”

Fluttershy only looked at him before she said, "I've heard you say this two or three times, but if it was true once, you wouldn't be what you are today." ”

Chen Nian was embarrassed, he knew that he had ruined all the chips that people could trust, and this kneeling and this remark were no longer worth believing.

Fluttershy is still staring at him, as she has been deceived two or three times by the man in front of her, and her old tears and knees are worthless.

Suddenly, Chen Nian got up and picked up a half-head-sized rock that blocked the door and hit his leg.

"Hey—what are you doing?" Fluttershy walks over and kicks the stone off his hand.

"I can even quit drugs, but I can't make you believe me anymore," Chen Nian looked up, "If I can make Miss believe in me if I break this leg, I will smash this leg." ”

"If you break this leg, you're really worthless," Fluttershy said earnestly, "You're bad, but not evil, and the reason why I can forgive you is because I think you're determined to change your ways, and if you keep being wrong, the next time you beg me, I won't blink an eye when you cut off your head." ”

"Got it, I got it......" Chen Nian kept kowtowing.

"Get up, I don't need your gratitude, I just need you to live like a person, but now that the match factory is no longer my family, I will go and beg Yang Aomin, he should agree, and you will work hard there from now on."

"Yes." Chen Nian got up and stood excitedly.

"Do you have a place to stay tonight?" Fluttershy asks.

"Nope."

"Then ......" Fluttershy thinks for a moment and says, "Then you can sleep in the firewood room next to my kitchen tonight, are you satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied, satisfied, as long as you can shelter from the wind and rain."

Fluttershy smiled at the corners of her mouth, "Come with me." She turned and walked ahead.

Chen Nian followed behind her, Yun Yun had already heard the sound of talking outside, heard the footsteps approaching, and asked while cleaning up the stove: "Sister, who is it?" ”

"Him." Fluttershy looks back.

Yun Yun saw it at a glance, her expression and heart did not fluctuate, she only felt that he was also sad, Chen Qi'er is such a good person, how can her brother be like this.

"Miss." Chen Nian bowed.

Yun Yun nodded.

"He sleeps in the firewood room tonight, you can bring him a bed and quilt later."

"Oh."

"It's a mess here, you clean it up yourself." Fluttershy tells Age.

"Yes." Chen Nian began to clean up, Yun Yun washed her hands, wiped the water dry, and went upstairs to get the quilt.

Chen Nian made his own bed and slept here for the night.
