After that day, no strange people came to disturb Zhao Qingyu.

She reads books and brushes questions at home every day, and helps her family with laundry and cooking in her free time.

Li Feiyu seems to have completely disappeared from her life, and even Zhao's father and Zhao's mother never mentioned his name.

It was as if nothing had been left behind after the first ripples had passed since his mother had come to look for her.

This is the end of the last summer vacation of the first year of high school.

The day before the start of school registration, Wang Lei came over with his family's local products, such as sun-dried pickles, dried red roots, dried cucumbers, etc., packed in a snakeskin bag.

On the contrary, his clothes and luggage were only packed in a small cloth backpack.

However, most of his autumn and winter clothes, cotton wool and bedding are packed and placed in Zhao Qingyu's house, and he does save the trouble of carrying them back and forth.

A month before, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother packed up and went home after finishing their business in the morning. But the start of school is imminent, there are many students who return to school early, the school opened in advance on this day, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother have been busy until the evening, Wang Lei also came over and got started directly and entered the work state.

Zhao Qingyu finished memorizing English that morning, so he went to the store and worked until the evening.

At dinner, Zhao's mother specially asked Zhao's father to go to the street to buy some good dishes, braised pork, duck intestines, chicken feet and chopped pepper fish heads, which filled a large table.

It's too hot in the summer, especially after a busy day in the store, and everyone is so hot that it's smoking.

Father Zhao took out a few bottles of cold beer, pried them open with a screwdriver, a layer of white foam slowly gushed out of the bottle, he picked it up and quickly drank two sips, and then put it down happily: "Come on, Wang Lei, you have a bottle too, it's cool to drink." ”

Wang Lei wanted to excuse himself, but when he saw that Zhao Qingyu took out a cup and poured a small cup, he didn't say anything more, and it happened that he was so hot that his mouth was so dry that it was difficult to swallow, so he got up and went to get a small cup.

"Drink it directly from a bottle, what kind of cup do you use?" Father Zhao directly opened a bottle and put it in front of him.

"Oh, what a ......"

Wang Lei picked up the bottle and took a big sip like Zhao's father, but accidentally choked and almost died on the spot.

"Alas...... Why is it still the same as a little girl? Father Zhao shook his head and muttered, but Zhao's mother rolled his eyes, immediately became dumb, and began to eat peanuts by himself.

"If people can't drink, they have to let people drink, really." Zhao's mother took a bowl and served Wang Lei a bowl of egg seaweed soup.

Wang Lei coughed so hard that his throat was hot, and the corners of his eyes quietly swept to Zhao Qingyu drinking beer as if drinking water, and immediately felt that his cheeks were also hot.

"I just choked." Finally stopped coughing, Wang Lei whispered in a sore throat, and then picked up the beer bottle again and drank it again.

"I'll just say, there's a baby who can't even drink beer, I've never seen it!" Father Zhao laughed.

Wang Lei's face was a little embarrassed, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, although he had done a day's work as soon as he came today, he didn't feel tired at all, and even felt that he had endless energy.

When eating, in addition to drinking wine with Zhao's father, most of the time he still eats silently as usual, and rarely picks up vegetables.

Zhao's mother would keep reminding Wang Lei to pick up the dishes, and he would also pick up the bowl and nod his head busily, saying that he had vegetables in the bowl.

"I've had dinner tonight, Xiaoyu, you kids can go out for a walk, there will be no time to play when school starts tomorrow."

Wang Lei raised his head and glanced at Zhao Qingyu quickly, but did not speak.

"Well, I see, I'm just going to buy some information." Zhao Qingyu put down the bowl and went to the sink at the back to wash his face with cold water.

The weather was too hot for her to eat, but she drank a lot of soup and was sweating all over.

Zhao Qingfeng also put down the bowl: "Sister, then I want to go out and eat some mutton skewers today." ”

"You two children, let you accompany Wang Lei to go out for a walk, but one is going to the bookstore and the other is going to eat barbecue." Mother Zhao couldn't help but speak.

"It's okay, I can go anywhere." Wang Lei hurriedly helped the sister and brother speak.

Zhao's father finished gnawing a chicken paw: "That's it, there is nothing to play in the town, so let the children wander around." ”

Mother Zhao didn't speak, and looked at the dishes left on most of the table with a little sadness. The weather was hot, and everyone basically didn't eat much, plus soup and beer, and they were full in a few clicks.

After eating, everyone helped collect the stall together, and parted ways at the three-way intersection on the way back.

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother walked back, and Zhao Qingyu and the three of them walked towards the east of the town.

At seven o'clock in the evening, not long after the sun set, there was still the residual warmth of the sun, both on the surface and in the air.

The old pedestrian street is lined with long flower beds at intervals of about ten meters, and the evergreen shrubs in them are listlessly clustered, and the leaves are covered with dust.

Bicycles, numb bikes and carts came and went, and there were many idlers who came out for a walk after dinner.

Zhao Qingyu, Zhao Qingfeng and Wang Lei, as soon as they separated from the adults, immediately bought a popsicle in the small store in front of them, and swayed forward leisurely.

If this scene is seen by Zhao's mother, it is estimated that it will inevitably be said - there is ice soy milk at home, and she has to come out to buy popsicles.

"Wang Lei, is your grandfather okay at home?"

"Well, that's good."

"That's good."

Zhao Qingyu ate the popsicle in a few bites, threw the small wooden stick into the garbage dump on the side of the road, and then left quickly with his breath.

She gasped for breath after walking several meters away, but the smell of fermented garbage still wafted in.

Zhao Qingyu turned sideways and looked at the two people chasing her, thought about it, took out five yuan from his pocket, and handed it to Zhao Qingfeng: "I'll go to the bookstore to buy books, you go to the supermarket first, and if you want to eat barbecue, go and buy it." ”

"Sister, aren't you going to the supermarket?" Zhao Qingfeng happily took the money and asked casually.

"I'm not going, if you want to continue shopping, you can wait for me at the supermarket, and if you don't want to, you can go back early."

Not far in front of them is the largest intersection in town, and the largest supermarket in the town of W next to the street entrance, and it is said that there are three large supermarket chains with the same name in Y City.

Since he knew that this supermarket turned out to be Li Feiyu's mother's, Zhao Qingyu has never entered it again. There is also the largest Internet café in W Town, which was also opened by Ms. Zhao, who has the same surname as her, no wonder they all have the word "Xin".

Zhao Qingfeng didn't have any special reaction, he just wanted to come out and eat kebabs, and he could play games when he went home after eating.

But Wang Lei was different, he looked at Zhao Qingyu and Zhao Qingfeng, neither of them said anything, he could only purse his lips and swallow the disappointment in his stomach.

"Then let's do it, you wait for me at the door of the supermarket, I'll come to you after I buy the book, and when the time comes, let's go to the Void Jade Palace." Zhao Qingyu had already turned around and taken two steps, and suddenly turned around and proposed again.

"Okay!" Wang Lei hurriedly responded, he didn't even notice himself, he smiled heartily.

Zhao Qingyu bent his eyes, and then took a brisk step, following the crowd across the road to the opposite side.

The bookstores in W Town are concentrated on a relatively prosperous alley, because there is the largest junior high school and elementary school in the town, as well as a martial arts school nearby.

On the contrary, the high school on the west side of town is deserted, and there are no people, let alone bookstores and the like.

When she went out, Zhao's father gave her fifty yuan, which was far from enough, but no one knew that she still had some scattered manuscript fee income.

Zhao Qingyu went to the only Xinhua bookstore in the town and bought a lot of materials for the second and second semesters of high school, a total of more than ten books, and spent a few hundred dollars.

After leaving the bookstore, she stepped on the new book materials heavily, regretting not falling, and later she carried a dozen pounds of things around, this is not shopping, this is a crime.

She took turns carrying a book with her left and right hands, and by the time she reached the small square outside the supermarket, both arms were a little sore.

Wang Lei found her very early, and before she saw them, he trotted over and took the things in her hand.

"You're here, Xiao Feng is there." Wang Lei was holding a heavy study material in one hand, and pointed to a eating figure outside the supermarket gate with the other.

Zhao Qingyu looked over, and almost dropped his jaw, Zhao Qingfeng, the child, had a large handful of mutton skewers in one hand, and the things in the other hand were no less than her study materials.

Walking up, she lowered her eyes and glanced at the big plastic bag in Zhao Qingfeng's hand, which was full of all kinds of snacks.

Among them, there are some new chocolates and shellfish that are a little expensive, and some card toys that are not useful.

Zhao Qingyu's eyebrows were twisted into a ball, usually Zhao Qingfeng had anything she wanted to eat and want, as long as she didn't separate the spectrum, she would try her best to satisfy it.

But he also told him not to take other people's things casually.

Family members rarely give Zhao Qingfeng extra cash, there is no doubt that these things must have been bought for him by Wang Lei.

"Didn't you eat at night, why did you ask someone to buy you so many snacks?" Zhao Qingyu's voice was rarely stern.

"Sister......" Zhao Qingfeng was originally very happy eating kebabs, but when he heard Zhao Qingyu's voice, he immediately looked up happily, and saw a serious face with blaming eyes.

Zhao Qingyu pursed his lips and slowed down his tone slightly: "You also know what the situation is in someone's house, don't you feel embarrassed to accept so many things from others?" ”

Zhao Qingfeng lowered his head, and the hand holding the kebab also drooped down in the room, and the meat skewer in his mouth before he had time to chew and swallow seemed to suddenly become unfragrant.

"Don't blame him, I said I wanted to buy it for you." Seeing this, Wang Lei hurriedly explained in a whisper.

“…… You don't have to buy that much. Zhao Qingyu paused, "And I don't need you to buy these for me." ”

Wang Lei didn't speak for a while, just lowered his head silently, looking very lonely.

Zhao Qingyu glanced at the two crying faces in front of him, one big and one small, and felt that one head and two were big, and he just wanted to come out to breathe, but he didn't expect to start to get upset again.

It seems that since that incident, she has always been easily upset.

Although she will try her best to suppress it, she will still inadvertently reveal a trace of emotion.

"Okay, okay, forget it this time, don't spend money casually next time." Zhao Qingyu sighed secretly in his heart, and took the initiative to take the snack bag in Zhao Qingfeng's hand.

"I see." Wang Lei looked up at her quickly, and then stretched out his spare hand to her, "I'll take it." ”

Zhao Qingyu leaned over and dodged his arm: "This is not heavy, it is all light and fluttering, I can take it." ”

Wang Lei didn't say much, he followed her with a book, and Zhao Qingfeng, who had been successfully ignored, pouted, followed and continued to eat kebabs.

"Xiao Feng, it's good to eat a little bit of this kind of thing once in a while, don't eat too much, be careful of worms in your stomach." Zhao Qingyu suddenly turned his head to scare him.

Zhao Qingfeng, who was eating meat, turned pale, staring at the large handful of barbecue meat left in his hand, and he didn't eat it, and he didn't eat it.

"Sister, is it true that worms grow......"

"Of course, when did my sister lie to you?" Zhao Qingyu said and took out a small handful of barbecue meat and handed it to Wang Lei next to him, "Come, you can eat these." ”

Wang Lei: "......"

Then she took out another handful and ate it herself.

"Sister, you lied to me."

Zhao Qingfeng looked at the lonely half of the kebab that was left in an instant, and condemned it angrily.

Zhao Qingyu smiled silently.

……

The Xuyu Palace is not far from the supermarket, walking through the old pedestrian street of 300 meters, and passing through a short train bridge hole.

On the other side of the bridge, there are carts selling fruits, all of which are tropical fruits such as bananas and pineapples that are not available locally.

In this day and age, these fruits are very expensive and rare.

Zhao Qingyu still likes to eat these things, but he just looks at them twice.

"Would you like to buy some bananas?" Wang Lei suddenly asked her in a low voice.

"No, you ......"

Before Zhao Qingyu finished speaking, the fruit vendors came over to sell themselves as if they had installed radar monitors.

"My banana is sweet and fresh, look at it, how beautiful the bunches are, for you...... Let's buy a bunch for my daughter-in-law. One of the middle-aged men shouted very loudly, and several other people echoed him.

Wang Lei's face was red to the root of his ears, and he walked towards the stall without obeying his steps.

Zhao Qingfeng struggled with a face, suspecting that these people were blind, did his sister's face look like a married person?!

Zhao Qingyu grabbed Wang Lei's arm and pulled him back vigorously, with an impatient face: "What are you doing when you buy so many things, my hands are tired to death." ”

"I'll ......"

Before Wang Lei finished speaking, he was interrupted by her again: "I have just spent all my living expenses at the beginning of school, I still buy it, hurry up and leave." ”

This is the first time Wang Lei has seen Zhao Qingyu like this, he spoke like a machine gun, he didn't have time to interject at all, so he was pushed and scolded by the other party and dragged into the Void Jade Palace.

But not only did he not have the slightest anger in his heart, but he was even beautiful.

After walking a little further into the Void Jade Palace, Zhao Qingyu stopped, his expression was very solemn: "Don't buy the fruit stall in this place, you know?" ”

"Huh??"

Zhao Qingfeng and Wang Lei were both surprised, and they didn't know why she said this.

Zhao Qingyu didn't explain much, because she didn't know how to explain either.

Those stall people are all in a group, and there are often out-of-town tourists or some girls who seem to be bullied here.

There was once a reporter from other places who bought some fruit in this place and gave him a 100-yuan bill when he visited the Xuyu Palace, but the other party went to another vendor to exchange money on the grounds that he couldn't find the money, but he turned around and said that the reporter gave fake money.

Because it was a relatively well-known reporter, this matter was even caused by the news newspapers, and only later was it taken seriously and completely banned.

But before that, I don't know how many people were pitted.

Zhao Qingyu thinks that he has no ability, and he doesn't have the courage of that reporter, so he can only try to remind the people around him not to be deceived.
