After listening to Gu Yulan's story, Hongli complained: "Mom, how hanging!" Falling from such a high ladder...... Why don't you tell me? I also deliberately fooled me into saying that it was overtime, and I felt that something was wrong! ”

Gu Yulan said: "This time thanks to Dr. Su, otherwise, I really don't know ......"

Hongli asked, "Mom, how old is Dr. Su?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "I don't know. ”

Hongli asked, "What is he doing in your institute?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "Engage in research. ”

Hongli said: "It seems that he is only twenty-six or seventeen years old at most, why did he give him a house at such a young age?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "He only came this spring and has no place to live. ”

Hongli asked: "If you don't have a place to live, give you a house?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "No. There are a lot of people who don't have a house in the house, so how can they give it if they don't have a place to live! ”

Hongli asked, "Then why did you give it to him?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "He was specially invited by the director to Europe. ”

Hongli asked, "Why did you invite him?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "I heard that there is a research project in our institute, which has been going on for a long time, not only has it cost a lot of money, but it has not been successful because there are problems that cannot be solved. Dr. Su is the most authoritative expert in this field. ”

Hongli didn't seem to believe it, and said, "The most authoritative? Mom, do you know what the most authoritative is? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Knowing, it is the best, the top, the most prestigious." ”

Hongli said: "Can he be the best, the top, the most prestigious at such a young age? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Yes." He has solved several difficult problems, and he has heard that there has been a major breakthrough in the research and that it will be completed in a few months. ”

Hongli asked, "Mom, how much money can he earn in your institute?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "I don't know. It is estimated that it is only three or four thousand. ”

Hongli said: "Mom, I think this Dr. Su is a little stupid. ”

Gu Yulan raised her head, looked at Hongli, and said, "What did you say?" Net nonsense. He is a hundred times smarter than you, to say the least. ”

Hongli said: "Mom, do you know how much money an expert like him can earn a year abroad? ”

Gu Yulan said: "I don't know. ”

Hongli said: "If you don't talk about it, you can earn 100 times more than in China." My classmate has a cousin who seems to be a driver who drives a car on a dock in the UK, and he still earns tens of thousands of pounds a year! Tens of thousands of pounds are hundreds of thousands of yuan. Think about it, if this Dr. Su is not stupid, can he put aside the big money abroad and not earn it, but come back to earn these few small money? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Didn't I tell you, he was specially invited by our director." ”

Hongli said, "What's wrong, please? If he had been wise, he would not have returned. ”

Gu Yulan said: "How many times have I told you, don't keep your eyes on money, why don't you take it to heart?" ”

Hongli said: "Mom, it's not that I don't go to my heart, but ...... It's really not good to have no money. ”

Of course, Gu Yulan has a deep understanding of not having money, but she still thinks that her daughter is wrong to say this. She wanted to correct Hongli's thoughts, but she didn't think of a reason to persuade for a while.

Although Hongli was reluctant, she still put a piece of chocolate into her mouth.

Gu Yulan said: "Don't be busy eating, you can help your mother calculate and see how much it costs to buy these things." ”

Hongli said: "The doll speaks less than a hundred; Glove...... The gloves that Xiaoqian bought a few days ago are much worse than this pair, and they cost one hundred and sixteen! Cosmetics are good hundreds. Those who eat can't get down without three or four hundred. Mom, these things are a thousand less. ”

Seeing that Gu Yulan was silent, not only was she happy to receive the gift, but also seemed to be embarrassed, Hongli asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "It's okay. ”

Hongli said, "No...... Why are you upset and worried? ”

Gu Yulan said: "Can you not worry! Mom wanted to return some favors by helping, but she didn't expect to be sent back again, but the more she owed, the more she owed. ”

Hongli couldn't help but smile and said, "Mom, you're really!" You feel that you owe Dr. Sue, and Dr. Su may feel that you owe you! Besides, since you have already returned the favor first, and it is his business to be returned, why are you worried! ”

Gu Yulan said: "That's not what you say, you always owe people. Now, I'm worried about how I can return the favor, and I'm worried about you. ”

Hongli said: "I know, you are worried that I haven't found a job yet." ”

Gu Yulan said: "It's not work. ”

Hongli was puzzled and asked, "What is that?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "I miss you growing up, but it makes my mother even more uneasy." ”

Hongli said, "I didn't do anything wrong. Where is it that makes you feel uneasy? ”

Gu Yulan said: "There are many places where I am not at ease. Take the words that just said about Dr. Su's return to China, I feel uneasy when I hear it. ”

Hongli said: "Mom, that's all what I said casually, why did you still go to your heart?" ”

Gu Yulan said: "Mom, can you not go to your heart!" No matter who it is, once the right and wrong are not clear, and the clever and the stupid are reversed, it will be bad. ”

Hongli said: "Mom, I'll correct you, Dr. Su is not stupid, he's smart - this time, right?" ”

Gu Yulan was amused and said, "It's not in shape again." ”

If you change to someone who loves to take advantage, you can give less and get more, and most of them will steal pleasure. Gu Yulan was the opposite, these things sent by Su Shihua made her heart sink, as if she was pressed by a hanging object.

Su Shihua's principle of doing things has always been that you are good to me, and I will at least be good to you, and I will never let the other party suffer. Therefore, when Gu Yulan refused to accept the salary, he had already decided to return the salary and favor in another way. In order to come to Gu's house, he went to the General Affairs Office to inquire about Gu Yulan's address the day before. Originally, there were very few people who knew the address of the Gu family, but it happened that Su Shihua happened to meet one of the four people who had come to the Gu family during the summer census of housing, and he not only told Su Shihua where to take the taxi from, but also drew a map of the gravel road.

For the rest of the morning, Hongli has been doing two things: eating and putting on makeup.

Just after two o'clock in the afternoon, I heard someone knocking on the door, and Gu Yulan, who was sitting on the kang sewing insoles, hurriedly went to the ground. She came to the gate of the courtyard and asked who the people outside were, and when she heard that it was Su Shihua, although she was puzzled, she quickly opened the door.

Su Shihua stood outside the door, standing close to a large rectangular board, and when he saw Gu Yulan, he said, "Master Gu, I'm disturbing again." ”

Gu Yulan said, "Dr. Su, you ...... What are you...... Quick, come in! ”

Su Shihua said: "In the morning, I saw a window on the north wall of the inner house, which was not only ventilated, but also because it was a single layer, and the insulation was not good, so I thought that I should use a thermal insulation board to plug the window hole." ”

Gu Yulan said: "It's far away, and it's cold. ”

When Su Shihua entered the courtyard gate, Gu Yulan originally wanted to take the board he was holding, but he refused, saying, "Master Gu, this board is heavy, I'll take it!" ”

Hongli was sitting on the kang playing with the doll, and as soon as she saw Su Shihua coming from the window, she quickly put the doll into the box, and then put the box on the quilt, and when Su Shihua entered the outhouse, she was already standing on the ground in the inner room.

Su Shihua put the board against the west wall and stood it. Gu Yulan said, "Dr. Su, please take a seat!" It's so cold and the road is not good......"

Su Shihua said: "Master Gu, when you help me, go out early and return late, isn't it colder and more difficult to walk than today!" ”

Gu Yulan said: "I ...... I ......"

Su Shihua took off his coat, and Hongli stepped forward to catch the coat. Su Shihua picked up the board and said, "I don't know if the size is appropriate." If you can just plug the window hole, you can definitely slow down the rate and magnitude of the drop in room temperature. ”

Gu Yulan was uneasy and said, "Dr. Su, you ...... It's so far away, and you're busy, how can you ...... for this little thing?"

Su Shihua said: "No matter how busy you are, it is not bad for this time. ”

When he put the lower end of the board against the windowsill and put it into the window hole, he continued: "If plugging the window hole can really make the house warmer than before, it is worth the extra time to change it for a winter." ”

It was very smooth, after the lower end of the board was placed, Su Shihua pushed it in the middle of the board with his right hand, and the whole board was set up against the window frame. Just as he turned his face as if looking for something, Hongli moved the stool over and placed it under the windowsill. What Su Shihua was looking for was a stool. So, in thanks, he stood on the stool and looked around the board.

Hongli asked, "Dr. Su, you didn't use a ruler to measure, why is the size of this board just right?" ”

Su Shihua said: "Thanks to the good luck. Hongli, can you find me some blank paper? Or...... Newspapers will do the same. ”

Hongli raised her face and asked, "What do you want paper for?" ”

Su Shihua said: "Although the size of this plate is just right, there is still a gap between the board and the window hole. The big hole of the needle nose penetrates the big wind. If these gaps are not tightly blocked, the thermal insulation effect of the board will be weakened. ”

Hongli chuckled and said, "Dr. Su, I know that there is a hole as big as a needle's nose, and the big wind is ...... How strong is the wind? ”

She hadn't seen a fight.

Su Shihua compared his hand to a circle the size of a basin and said, "Probably...... It's that big! ”

Hongli found some old newspapers. Su Shihua took the newspaper and cut it into 10-centimeter-wide strips on the windowsill. Just as he was about to fold those newspaper strips and fill the gaps with it, Gu Yulan came in from the outhouse with a basin and beckoned, "Dr. Su, come down and wash your hands!" I and Hongli can plug those cracks. ”

Although Gu Yulan urged several times, Su Shihua still insisted on finishing the work before coming down.

After washing her hands and sitting on the edge of the kang, Gu Yulan said, "Dr. Su, the size is so comparable, it must have been sawed." The carpenter is hard to find, and I don't know ......."

When he handed over the money in his hand, he said, "This is 100 yuan, I don't know if it's enough?" If it's not enough, I'll make up for it in a few days. ”

The rest of my renovation house is just wasted, otherwise, it will be thrown away in vain. ”

Su Shibi didn't tell the truth. After leaving the Gu family in the morning, thinking of Gu Yulan's coldness and the difficulty of the Gu family's mother and daughter, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should help the Gu family plug the hole in the back window, so he went directly to the building materials store.

It cost 68 yuan to buy a board, and it cost another 10 yuan to find a carpenter to make it the size of a window hole.

When he was busy and hungry, he looked at his watch and it was already more than 12 o'clock, so he took the board to eat a bowl of noodles in a small restaurant, and then came to Gu's house.

There is only one reason why he told Gu Yulan that the board is leftover: he doesn't want money.
