Gu Xiaobei stared at the computer screen carelessly, but he didn't know what to look at. The hands flew around the green savannah like headless flies. Most of the systems in this era are windows7, and the default wallpaper of the system has been replaced with a dark blue background four-leaf window, Gu Xiaobei has been comparing this system for a long time, and he thinks it is better to be an old-fashioned prairie, and it is green, so he changed it back.

Lao Lu, the middle-aged uncle at the cash register, secretly glanced over here and said loudly

"Xiaobei, your Uncle Lu hasn't played in the ranking for a long time, and I don't see any guests today, do you want to help me get a score?"

"I don't want to fight. Gu Xiaobei said weakly

"Then don't occupy the pit and don't, hurry up and change places with your Uncle Lu. Uncle Lu said with a smile, feeling that he had requisitioned a little labor for free.

"Okay, okay" Gu Xiaobei said in his heart that you can't win anyway, so he readily agreed.

So Gu Xiaobei sat in the cashier seat of this "hospitable come" supermarket. As the only retail supermarket in this old community, business will not be too good or too bad, Uncle Lu will watch those familiar faces go back and forth every day, occasionally chattering a few words, and the days have passed.

Gu Xiaobei is the most free guy in the eyes of the brothers in the community, no one cares, and he has been brought by his grandmother since he was a child. Whenever the sun sets, when the brothers are carried home by their respective parents for dinner, he is alone by the river to float, and he feels like a stone in his hand, jumping on the water, not knowing when it will fall. Gu Xiaobei's parents went out to work when he was six years old, and his grandmother always said that his parents would come back when he was older. Until now Gu Xiaobei is an adult, his parents are still on the other end of the phone.

Every time he looked at the appearance of his parents in the group photo, he felt very nonsense, and said that since he was leaving, why only take the little boy who was slightly shorter than him in the photo, and not take his grandmother.

He thought that maybe one day he was seriously ill and his parents would come back when they were so weak in the hospital that they could only blink their eyes, but what was the point of them coming back? He felt that from the age of six his relatives were only his grandmother, because all he had felt in the telephone conversations for years was disappointment.

Gu Xiaobei likes to read the comic "My Hero Academia", he feels that he is very much like the protagonist in it, Victoria Boy Green Valley, when everyone regards personality as a basic condition, he is the one who does not have it. Yes, the protagonist is almost always different, but unfortunately, he is different in the most mediocre aspect.

What's even more sad is that the Green Valley boy has his Uncle Ou, but he will always be alone.

Gu Xiaobei became a "hero" when he was eleven years old, saving Uncle Lu's shop "Hospitable Lai", that night the thieves neatly pried open the iron door of the roller shutter and quietly pushed the door up, one let the wind outside, and the other went in to steal money. The thieves outside lamented that the business was too easy, only to find that there was a little boy walking around on the road with a basketball, not knowing what to do, and just wanted to ask his accomplices' opinion, but found that the boy shouted "catch the thief", and then smashed the basketball into the electric car on the side.

The thief scolded and tried to arrest him, only to find that he had already spread his legs and slipped away.

In the year when the old community did not install monitoring, Gu Xiaobei did save Uncle Lu's shop, and since then Uncle Lu's family has formed an indissoluble bond with Gu Xiaobei. Since that year, Gu Xiaobei has also regarded this retail store as her second home, Aunt Lu likes to treat Gu Xiaobei as a big nephew, she grew up watching Xiaobei.

"What's the matter?" Uncle Lu came over again at some point, and quickly pulled out a bag of shriveled "Hongta Mountain" from the inconspicuous corner of the glass cabinet. He likes the Hongta Mountain for seven yuan a pack the most, and the price is very much in line with his status as a small boss of a 'rag shop'.

"No, it's just idle and have nothing to do. ”

"According to me, don't waste it, help me honestly during the summer vacation, and then go to college, Uncle Lu will give you a monthly salary of 3,000, and invite guests to the restaurant from time to time, how about it?"

"Alright, hit your ranks. Gu Xiaobei said angrily

"No big, no small, dare to talk to your Uncle Lu like this......" Before the words fell, he heard the roar of an electric motorcycle outside the store. Uncle Lu suddenly became dumbfounded, hurriedly extinguished the cigarette, and stuffed it into the old canned bottle. Three steps and one step at a time.

But as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw my wife and Gu Xiaobei chatting at the door. Uncle Lu secretly went to see Aunt Lu's expression, but found that Aunt Lu was not looking at him, so he had to smile and step forward to help get the food.

Aunt Lu was very enthusiastic, and when she came up, she beckoned Gu Xiaobei to stay and eat, Gu Xiaobei said that grandma had already cooked the meal and was going back, and she was just helping Uncle Lu to take care of the cash register. Uncle Lu also hurriedly stepped forward with a smile to cooperate, claiming that he went to the back warehouse to get the things that the guests wanted, although the store was empty at this time, and there were no customers at all.

After Gu Xiaobei said goodbye, he fled in a puff of smoke.

Aunt Lu suddenly remembered her daughter's final exam today, so she remembered that Gu Xiaobei was about to enter college, so she could make a good reference for her daughter in the future.

Aunt Lu's daughter will go to high school next year, and the college entrance examination is an extremely important step in life, Aunt Lu originally wanted to learn from Gu Xiaobei and find a direction for her ignorant daughter, but Gu Xiaobei had no shadow as soon as she slipped away. So she decided to bring some gifts to visit her another day, otherwise she would miss the opportunity if she went out.

In her mind, contemporary youth should have Gu Xiaobei's appearance, although she only referred to Gu Xiaobei's "brilliant record" of escaping out in the middle of the night to play and forgetting to bring the key to wander on the street, she subconsciously thought that Xiaobei must be a child with a big future, and even she had the idea of waiting for her daughter to be older to see if there was a possibility of matchmaking.

And Gu Xiaobei knew that he was just a waste wood, and when others were living a good life in the story, he stayed in that small room to play games, watch anime, and practice shooting on the dilapidated basketball court in the community.

Other than that, his life was as silent as a pool of stagnant water.

When others were being carried by their parents to learn this and that, he sat on the rusty railing of the rooftop, staring at the sky in the distance.

Looking at the shadow of his old age in the sunset, he felt that he would live his life doing nothing. After thinking too much, I went home with my shoulders slumped, otherwise I would have to make my grandmother anxious again.

Gu Xiaobei felt very unwilling, but he couldn't do anything.

It's summer graduation season again.

People of the same age will post on social media the troubles of being bound by their families and urged by their families, expressing their yearning for the kind of carefree freedom of a person. Whenever he saw such words, Gu Xiaobei would laugh at himself and say: "Where is this freedom, this is obviously loneliness." ”

"Xiaobei, go and put away the clothes on the balcony and come back to dinner. ”

Grandma's voice came from the kitchen

Gu Xiaobei agreed while taking off his shoes, and by the way, he brought the newspaper inserted in the iron box at the door, and grandma liked to sit on the old man's chair on the balcony to read the newspaper. Gu Xiaobei felt that his grandmother was the kind of person who was very studious, and the newspapers she had read over the years had been stacked more than Gu Xiaobei's books.

Gu Xiaobei put away his clothes and looked out the window, the sky was still surrounded by sunset clouds with fire, and the clouds that were rendered by golden light were extremely beautiful. In the garden below, there is still the same couple who like to take a walk after dinner.

He thought, yes, I'm going to college, and my grandmother is going to be alone. I don't care, I'm used to it, but grandma is such a person, but he can't let go.

"By the way, Xiaobei, your father called, you will come back later. ”

"Got it," Gu Xiaobei was stunned for a moment

The hanger in his hand fell to the ground
