235 I will surely come and protect you
Although the middle-aged man in the suit looked very imposing, there seemed to be no malice in his words.
"That...... My grandfather was friends with this grandfather when he was alive, and we would come here every year...... Such. ”
"Before I was born...... Your grandfather passed away too, didn't he? ”
Lu Xiaorou nodded, "I just passed away at the beginning of the year." ”
"That's ......"
The man's gaze flashed a hint of loneliness, and he stared blankly at the tombstone in front of him, and did not say a word for a long time.
Su Mo originally wanted to take Xiaorou away directly, but Xiaorou still couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked,
"Excuse me...... Are you a relative of Grandpa Ji? ”
"Sort of......
The man in the suit looked very storytelling, and he looked at the tombstone in a daze, "He's ...... When did you leave? ”
"It was my second year of junior high school, that is, four years ago, my grandfather said that he had a heart attack, he was present at the time, and he was sent to the hospital."
"That's right...... Fortunately, I didn't live at home at the time, otherwise it would have ......" The man in the suit sighed softly, turned his head to look at Lu Xiaorou, and bowed slightly, "Thank you for coming over and sending him flowers...... Actually, he was my father. ”
"Father...... Is it? ”
Without waiting for Su Mo and Lu Xiaorou to ask, the man spoke by himself, "When I was very young, he left me and my mother and ran away with other women, leaving me and my mother to rely on each other. I haven't heard from him for nearly thirty years, and I didn't hear from anyone until recently that he had died. ”
Saying that, the man looked at the tombstone opposite, "I wanted to mock this irresponsible father for his current down-and-out appearance, but I didn't expect that he didn't even give me this opportunity......"
He looked at Lu Xiaorou and just wanted to say something, but in the end he seemed to give up:
"Forget it...... Now, there is nothing to worry about, everyone is dead. Still, thank you very much for your willingness to sweep the grave of this man. ”
After saying goodbye to the man in the suit, Lu Xiaorou and Su Mo sat on the bus on the return trip, and Lu Xiaorou sat quietly on the side, as if she had something on her mind.
"Still thinking about that person?"
Su Mo asked softly, Lu Xiaorou nodded, and there was some hesitation in her words, "Brother Su Mo, what do you think...... What was the purpose of that uncle's visit to his father's tombstone at this time? ”
"Maybe he wanted to mock his father's down-and-out appearance, as he said; Maybe he was just unwilling, unwilling to let him die like this, and he didn't even atone for his sins; But...... I know he's gone, but I still come to see him, I think...... There are still complicated family feelings in it. ”
"Of course, it's not that he forgave his father, it's just that ......"
Su Mo breathed a long sigh of relief, "I'm afraid, it's an existence that I can't let go of for a lifetime." ”
Lucky people spend their whole lives being healed by their childhood, and unfortunate people spend their entire lives healing their childhood, mostly this is true.
So, what does Xiaorou think?
Her childhood was undoubtedly miserable, but she didn't lose her personality because of her misfortunes, at least on the surface.
Xiaorou's strong character is in the same vein as Yili's strong character in her previous life, but she will also have moments of vulnerability.
In her previous life, Su Mo didn't do this well, which made her suffer a lot of grievances alone, but she can't do this in this life.
Looking at Xiao Rou's thoughtful expression, Su Mo put his hand on Xiao Rou's shoulder.
"What if...... If you want to meet that person too, I will help you find her whereabouts at any cost. ”
"No, Brother Su Mo......"
Lu Xiaorou pulled Su Mo's shirt, "I'...... I'm not saying that I suddenly think of my parents. I...... I guess I'm going to see her, but at least not now, it's about studying. ”
"Yes, Xiaorou is going to be admitted to Wenhan University to see cherry blossoms."
"No, it's okay not to look at the cherry blossoms...... Brother Su Mo. ”
Lu Xiaorou looked up at Su Mo, her expression was a little timid, "I...... My first choice was Wenhan Institute of Technology. ”
"If you exceed the score by a lot, won't it be a waste to study Wenhan Polytechnic?"
"It's okay...... I...... I think Wenhan Institute of Technology is very good. It was close to my exam scores, the environment was good, the school was big and ......"
"And Brother Su Mo is also there."
Her last sentence was very quiet, but Su Mo also heard it.
"Haha...... Actually, if you can, I hope you can be closer to me. If you really want to go to this school, I'm very welcome......"
Saying that, Su Mo leaned over to Lu Xiaorou's ear and pasted it, this is a very intimate action, Xiaorou did not resist, but she was a little restrained, but in general, she still felt that she was pandering.
You can't take advantage of people's danger.
Su Mo made any invitations and requests to Xiaorou at this time, I am afraid she was willing to accept them.
However, I am afraid it is more just out of gratitude and reward.
Su Mo's strategy for Lu Xiaorou was to let her know the size of the world and the blue of the sky, even then, she was still willing to choose Su Mo's words, and it would not be too late to launch an offensive at that time.
Despite being rejected by Xiao Rou in every possible way, Su Mo still sent Lu Xiao Rou to the dormitory.
It wasn't until Su Mo sent her to the dormitory that she found out that in Xiaorou's bedroom, the beds of the other three roommates had been filled empty, and only three bed boards remained.
"Your roommate ......" Su Mo was stunned for a long time before slowly coming back to his senses, "That's right, it's the second semester of the third year of high school, and their parents are all here to accompany them." ”
The last semester of senior year is a critical time, and most parents would rather quit their jobs than find time to sprint with their children.
However, Xiaorou does not have this condition.
It's not easy for her to live in the school and continue her studies. If it weren't for Su Mo, she should have worked outside to serve dishes now.
Seeing that Brother Su Mo's expression became heavy, Lu Xiaorou immediately walked up and handed him a peeled apple. Su Mo took the apple, and then said solemnly:
"You should also live outside the campus, will the student dormitory environment be too difficult? I'll give you a reliable landlord, the lights are going out at night, and it feels dangerous to live alone. ”
"It's okay, Brother Su Mo!" Lu Xiaorou said softly, "This is only a temporary state for now, and there will be new roommates soon." And I don't think it's safe to live outside, at least the school has security, and the cost is ......."
In fact, the most worrying point is that it will cost a lot.
Xiaorou has been trying to find a way to help Su Mo save money, and she doesn't spend much if she can save a penny.
This silly kid......
The more sensible Xiao Rou is, the more Su Mo feels sorry for her. He accompanied Xiaorou until it was time for self-study, and then he reluctantly said goodbye to Xiaorou.
However, before saying goodbye, Xiao Rou took the initiative to ask to hug Su Mo's brother, and Su Mo naturally responded positively.
"No matter when you encounter any difficulties, don't carry them alone, you must remember to look for me."
"I will definitely come to protect you, and I won't let you be wronged again."
"Hmmm......"
Xiao Rou hugged Su Mo's back and hugged her tighter.
