Hearing Su Shihua say that the board was left over from the renovation of the house, Gu Yulan thought: "That's not right. When I went to help clean up the house, the cooking table was a piece of plywood, and this one was insulated, and none of the other boards were that big. Dr. Su must have said this on purpose out of the need for money. No, I have to give him the money. ”

Gu Yulan said: "Dr. Su, it has been many years, and this window hole has been ...... Can you help plug me...... I...... No more money...... You take it! ”

Su Shihua said: "Master Gu, I originally wanted to sit for a while, are you going to drive me away like this?" ”

Gu Yulan's face suddenly became anxious, and with sincerity, she said, "No, it's not. ”

Su Shihua said: "Since you don't want to drive me away, then take back the money and don't mention it again." ”

Su Shihua's words stumped Gu Yulan. She was worried that the debt would get higher and higher, and she was afraid that Su Shihua would misunderstand, so she hesitated for a long time before putting the money back in her pocket.

Su Shihua sat for half an hour before leaving. During this time, although Gu Yulan didn't say much, she added water to Su Shihua's cup a lot of times.

Hongli was much more lively and generous than in the morning, and when Su Shihua asked her what she wanted to do, she not only told her own thoughts, but also said that Xiaoqian and Caixia had good jobs.

Seeing Su Shihua away, as soon as she returned to the house, Hongli asked, "Mom, is he really a doctor?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "Yes." ”

Hongli said: "No, doctors generally take shelves, why doesn't he have it?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "People who are really knowledgeable have no shelf. ”

Hongli said: "Mom, listen to Dr. Su, if our family has any difficulties, he can still help." ”

Gu Yulan said: "He can help, but we can't let him help anymore." ”

Hongli asked, "Why?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "We can't afford to repay this favor. ”

Hongli said: "Mom, looking at Dr. Su's appearance, it doesn't seem that he is the kind of person who wants to repay his kindness. ”

Gu Yulan said: "It's not good for his mother to repay his kindness, but we have to repay the kindness." ”

Hongli asked, "What's the report?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "When you have money, find a way to return the money that Dr. Su bought first." ”

Hongli said, "Go back...... If you give him money, can he ask for it? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Don't be afraid, let's buy things too." ”

Hongli asked, "What are you buying?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "Buy ...... Mom didn't figure out what to buy, so she had to talk about it then. ”

Hongli said, "Mom, I'll go when I'm going to deliver something." ”

Gu Yulan said: "Just now...... I have heard you. Girls have to be steady, and it's not good to talk too much in front of guests. ”

Hongli said, "Mom, do I have a lot of words? If you don't speak, I won't speak again, just let the guest drink water, can he sit still? ”

Gu Yulan said: "You should say something useful, but you shouldn't say anything about Xiaoqian and Caixia." ”

Hongli said, "Mom, what are you afraid of?" If I didn't say it, Dr. Su might still think that people with academic qualifications like ours are useless! ”

Hongli talked and laughed throughout the night, and she was very happy. Gu Yulan is the opposite of her daughter, mostly silent.

After the window hole in the north wall was blocked, the room was really much warmer. When laying out the quilt, Hongli said, "Mom, let's just plug the window hole earlier." ”

Gu Yulan said: "Block early...... It costs money to buy a board. ”

Hongli said: "If it had been blocked earlier, we would have suffered a lot less over the years." ”

Gu Yulan said: "Suffer...... It's just cold, and it's not a sin. Besides, sin is for man, and to live is to be able to suffer. ”

Hongli was not convinced, and said, "Mom, where did you learn the theory?" People should be blessed when they live. ”

Gu Yulan went to the outhouse again, and only went to the kang when she came back.

Hongli was already lying down. When Gu Yulan was undressing, she asked, "Mom, there are so many old experts in your research institute, does this research project really have to be Dr. Su?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "Yes." ”

Hongli said: "You have been working in the research institute for so many years and have not been allocated a house, and it is too unfair for him to give a good house when he first came." ”

Gu Yulan said: "He is an expert, he has made great contributions, and he came back from abroad on purpose, so it is appropriate to give a good house." ”

Hongli said: "It is said that our area is going to be developed and renovated, but it doesn't rain when it thunders, and I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "True or fake, let's not worry." ”

Hongli said: "Even if it is developed and renovated, the house must be small, in order to make more money, the house for the land-sitting households cannot be big, not to mention three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, I am afraid it is difficult to get two bedrooms and one living room." ”

Gu Yulan said: "You don't need two bedrooms and one living room, you can give us one and a half rooms." ”

Hongli said: "One and a half rooms...... One and a half rooms are enough for wow! Mom, you're too unpursued, too easy to satisfy. ”

Gu Yulan said: "People can't be too greedy. ”

Although Hongli didn't say anything to refute it, she didn't think so.

The second day after Su Shihua came to Gu's house was Sunday. Hongli went out after breakfast. What she said to Gu Yulan was to go to the bookstore, have a look, and want to buy books. Gu Yulan gave her 20 yuan. In fact, going to the bookstore is just an excuse, and seeing Xiao Qian Caixia is real.

When passing by the grocery store, Hongli went inside and called two good friends first, and made an appointment where they would meet. By the time Hongli arrived, the two good friends had already arrived first.

As soon as they met, Caixia asked: "Hongli, why don't you make it clear on the phone!" What the hell is going on, so anxious? ”

Hongli said: "Good thing! And the news. ”

Xiaoqian asked, "What's the good thing?" What's the news? ”

Caixia said, "Did you get a job?" ”

Hongli said: "It has nothing to do with my work. ”

Caixia said: "Don't sell Guanzi, say it quickly!" ”

Hongli said, "Say ...... It's a long story, it's so cold, what are you talking about here! ”

Xiao Qian said, "Yes, we have to find a place to sit down first." ”

Hongli pointed not far away and said, "Let's go, go there." ”

Before the words fell, I only heard Caixia's "huh", stared at Hongli's outstretched hand, and said, "You bought new gloves?" ”

Hongli stretched out her right hand with her five fingers apart in front of Xiaoqian and Caixia and asked, "What's the matter?" Good no good? ”

Caixia grabbed Hongli's hand, looked at it front and back, and then took off the gloves from Hongli's hand, and rubbed it for a long time before praising it: "The skin on the outside is soft and shiny, and the hair spikes on the inside are white and long, much better than what I bought." ”

Xiaoqian asked, "Where did you buy it?" I went to several big stores the other day, why didn't I look at them? ”

Hongli said: "I didn't buy it, I gave it to someone." ”

Xiaoqian asked, "Who sent it?" You...... Do you have a boyfriend? ”

Before Hongli could answer, Caixia looked at the gloves that were only half on, and said, "This glove is good, but I can't use it." It's too thin for my hand to get into. ”

Xiaoqian said, "I'll try." ”

After speaking, he took off Hongli's other glove and began to put it on vigorously.

Hongli was in a hurry. On the other hand, he said, "You two ghosts, why are you doing so hard!" ”

While snatching both gloves in his hands.

Then he said, "Don't you two look closely at your hands with such gloves?" ”

Although Hongli and Xiaoqian Caixia are about the same height, fat and thin, the difference in hands is very big: Caixia's palms are wide and thick, and the fingers are thick and long; Xiao Qian's hands are hypertrophied; The palms of Hongli are narrow and thin, and the fingers are evenly thin. It is true that this glove can only be worn by Hongli.

What Hongli pointed out just now is a café if you want to go or not. At this time, the three of them walked over. Waiting to sit down, Xiaoqian said, "Such expensive gloves, it can't be that your mother bought them for you, right?" ”

Hongli said, "No. ”

Caixia said: "The man who bought this glove must be a man. ”

Hongli said, "Yes." ”

Xiaoqian said: "Tell me quickly, who is this stupid boy?" ”

Caixia asked: "You said there is news, what kind of news is it?" ”

Hongli said: "Yesterday we had a guest at our house. ”

Caixia said: "I thought something was wrong! Who doesn't have guests? Classmates and colleagues, neighbors, seven aunts and eight aunts, if it is a guest is also news, then our family has it almost every day. ”

Hongli said: "My family is different from yours. For as long as I can remember, except for those who collect water and electricity bills and house bills, few outsiders have come to my house. Even if it is an outsider, it is a woman. However, this time not only did the man come, but the same person came twice on the same day, and he gave him the gloves. ”

Xiaoqian asked, "Who is he?" ”

Caixia asked, "Are you a relative or a friend?" ”

Hongli said: "It's not a relative, it's not a friend, it's my mother's unit." ”

Hearing Hongli say this, Caixia was disappointed and said, "A colleague is also worthy of you to come to the house?" Yesterday my mother's colleague came to my house for three! Two men and one woman, played mahjong for a day. What's so strange about that? ”

Xiaoqian asked, "How old is the person who came?" Is it the cleaner with your mother? Why did you send such good gloves to your mother? ”

Hongli said, "What about you putting a cannon?" So many questions, what should I answer first? ”

Xiaoqian said: "You tell him what he does first." ”

Hongli said: "He is a doctor, an expert, and the director of the institute specially invited him to the UK this spring. ”

Caixia asked, "He's British?" ”

Hongli said: "He is Chinese. ”

Xiaoqian asked, "How old is he?" Forty or fifty or sixty or seventy? Go to your house...... It can't be that your mom has a special relationship with him, right? ”

Hongli was puzzled and asked, "What's special?" ”

Only after saying the words did he understand what Xiao Qian meant, so he laughed and scolded: "I'll beat you a crooked ghost!" He's only two, six, or seven years old, how can he ...... with my mother? You can figure it out! ”
