Chapter 24: Rainy Season
I went to Jiumei Plaza to eat a grilled fish, bought popcorn and Coke and watched the movie, and when Jiang You returned to Culture Street, it was almost ten o'clock.
A couple running at night passed by him.
He watched the couple disappear into his field of vision, touched his stomach, and ran as well, and after staggering for dozens of meters, the worm house arrived.
"Tomorrow we start running every night." He walked into the courtyard.
The sound of the wind blowing the leaves, the water of the pond, and the music coming from the bar in the distance mingled.
Black spiders crawl on the trellises by the door.
"The sunflowers are all cut, what do you think about planting some mint, and the leaves can be soaked in water to drink?"
He opened the door, entered, locked the door, and walked upstairs.
After washing, he took a bottle of Coke back to his bedroom. After lying on the bed, I took out my mobile phone, and received a lot of likes in bits and pieces.
The group chat of the sweet and salty battle against Bumpman showed that there were hundreds of chat records, Jiang You clicked in and looked at it, and it turned out that Zhao Shiqi was persuading Yuan Shu to leave Tangjiang and go to Zhuzhou to find a job.
Zhuzhou's Internet atmosphere is very strong, the policies are relatively supportive, and there are many opportunities. Tangjiang is more focused on the financial and service industries, and the regulations are clear and rigid.
Under Zhao Shiqi's persuasion, Yuan Shu was a little shaken and a little hesitant. The atmosphere gradually became a little awkward.
Jiang You thought for a while, and he sent a few photos of pomegranate saplings into the group.
Jiang You: When the pomegranates are ripe, we will drink and chat under the tree together.
Zhou Tao: Down with the landlord!
Yuan Shu: Down with capitalism!
Zhao Shiqi: Divide the land! Divide pomegranates!
Jiang You: Today I passed by the vegetable market, June Huang has been listed, I will get a few more pots of chrysanthemums, when you come next month, how about we enjoy chrysanthemums and eat crabs?
Yuan Shu: Appreciate Boss Jiang's chrysanthemums and eat Boss Jiang's crabs.
Zhou Tao: Meizizi.
Zhao Shiqi: Happy.
Jiang You: That's it, the third weekend of next month.
Yuan Shu and the three of them agreed. The topic has also been opened.
Jiang You opened the Coke and took a sip, then found a Xiuxian novel on his mobile phone reader and read it.
Millions of words of fiction are less than a fifth of the way through four o'clock in the morning.
The phone is out of battery.
He yawned, took off his glasses and put them on the bedside table, and fell into a groggy sleep.
He was awakened by urine.
It was dark and raining.
He subconsciously went to look at his mobile phone, found that it was automatically turned off when there was no power, pulled out the charging cable from the ground, connected it, and then went to the toilet to put water.
The window of the bathroom was not closed tightly, and the rain came in, and the water was everywhere.
Jiang You closed the window, mopped the water on the floor with a mop, brushed his teeth and washed his face, returned to the bedroom, and got into the quilt again.
The phone is charged a little and is ready to turn on.
A missed call is Chen Nan's. He dialed back.
"Sister Nan, is there something wrong with me?"
"When I passed by you at noon, I saw a sapling fall, and I couldn't get through to your phone, so I knew that you were still sleeping."
Jiang You took down his phone, he glanced at the time, 3:20 pm.
"I ran out of electricity yesterday when I read a novel."
"Just woke up?"
"Well, I'll go down and take a look now, thank you, Sister Nan."
"Thanks, there's no one in the store, would you like to come over and have a cup of tea?"
"I'll go downstairs first, help me make a latte, I have a bit of a headache."
"Okay, or a packet of syrup?"
"That's right."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang You went downstairs, and he stood by the door and looked into the courtyard. The pomegranate sapling on the outermost side fell, the roots peeked out of the soil, and he sighed and stepped into the rain.
He straightened the sapling with his hand and piled up the dirt with his foot, and when he let go of his hand, the sapling still fell outward.
The mud was softened by the blisters.
He thought for a moment, walked to the flower stand by the door, took out the sunflowers that had been cut one by one, pulled out the sunflowers and held them in his hands, and then poured the soil into the roots of the pomegranate seedlings.
This time, the pomegranate sapling stood strangely.
He then poured the rest of the soil evenly underneath the other four pomegranate saplings.
He looked around.
"Here, do your best."
The sunflowers he was holding in his hand softened and turned into green powder that fell from his fingers, wet from the rain and mixed into the dirt.
"I'm going to save some fertilizer."
After putting away the pots, he went to the rest area to take a look at the succulent in the flower shed, which was well protected from rain and the ground was not damp.
Back in the house, he washed his hands, changed his wet clothes, and wiped his hair with a towel.
After warming up a glass of milk and putting it on the coffee table, he took his umbrella and went downstairs to go out.
Chen Nan's bookstore is called Guanghe Books.
Push the door open and walk into the bookstore.
Wind chimes ring.
Chen Nan walked out from behind the bar in the reading area.
Jiang You looked around, "What about Xiao Liu?" ”
"Go back to collect your clothes, I don't see that there is anyone today, so I asked her not to come over again."
Jiang You sat down at the window, and Chen Nan brought out a plate of fried noodles with fat intestines and a cup of iced latte and put it in front of Jiang You, "I guess you didn't eat today, so I went next door to ask for a fried mein." ”
Jiang You took out the chopsticks, he mixed the noodles, and ate them in a big gulp.
Chen Nan took a glass of water and sat down opposite him, "My ex-husband came to me at noon and said that he wanted to remarry. ”
"Remarriage? He's embarrassed too? ”
didn't hear Chen Nan's reply, Jiang You raised his head and saw her hesitant expression, "Are you soft-hearted?" ”
"How come," Chen Nan took a sip of water and sighed, "Yunyun will be in junior high school in two years, and the school district where my ex-husband lives is better." ”
"It's not bad here, is it?"
"The fourth middle school is still not as good as the middle school attached to Tang Wai."
"Are you raising a kid playing games?" Jiang You put down his chopsticks, he wiped his mouth with paper, and took a sip of iced latte, "What middle school did you go to, and Yun Yun added a few more attribute points to her body?" ”
"Isn't that hesitating?"
"Have you forgotten what your ex-in-laws did to you back then? Do you think that after a few years of divorce, these problems will be automatically resolved and do not exist? Remarried, you still have to face it? ”
"I can bear it."
"You're stupid to be Yunyun, she can't see that you're putting up with it? Mother and daughter know each other? Knowing that you're all for her, how stressed is she? Will she be in a good mood? She's in a bad mood, can she read a book? ”
"I didn't expect that." Chen Nan said curtly.
"So what are you thinking? Her current classmates will all go to the same junior high school as her, right? ”
"Almost, what's wrong?"
"She was originally in junior high school, her old friends were all in the same school, and she would recognize new friends, so she wouldn't feel like she was in a completely unfamiliar place. What about changing school districts, everyone else is in a small group, and she is alone, how much social pressure is this? Adults can't necessarily stand it. ”
"You have a point."
"I'm the truth, that's you, I'm too lazy to say it when someone asks me," Jiang You glanced at Chen Nan, "The atmosphere at home is not good, the school can't be integrated, how sensitive are adolescent children?" If the fourth middle school is that kind of garbage middle school, then you have to consider it, and the fourth middle school is not much worse, what is there to think about. ”
"Okay, okay, aren't you afraid that I will remarry," Chen Nan glanced at Jiang You, "Okay, okay, I know how to do it, next time he comes, I won't open the door for him, okay?" ”
"By the way, I will lend me those pots of geraniums, and I will find someone to take pictures in the yard tomorrow."
"Okay, where's your sunflowers?"
"What are you shooting after the flowers are cut, I cleared the pot and prepared to plant chrysanthemums."
"Are you ready for business?"
"I've been doing pretty well," Jiang You thought for a moment, "What do you do with that gym card you frequent?" ”
"I have an annual card, buy one year and get one year free, eight thousand yuan, and I also bought a private lesson, my coach is not bad, next time I will call you?"
"Okay."
