Chapter 18: Something Else
"Mom!" Xu Xuanyue returned home with a large bag and a small bag, changed her shoes and walked to the living room.
"I've washed my hands and prepared to eat, and I've gone out for a run for another day, and I'll know how much money it costs." Liu Yuhua looked down at the magazine and complained.
"Yaoyao will come to our house for one night?"
Li Mengyao, who was behind Xu Xuanyue, poked her head out.
"Hello Auntie." Li Mengyao put on a smiling face.
Liu Yuhua looked up and saw Li Mengyao's delicate face, then smiled and put down the magazine in his hand.
"Oh, Yaoyao is here? Sit down, sit down. Liu Yuhua reached out and patted the sofa beside him.
Li Mengyao put the bag on the coffee table and sat down obediently with her skirt.
"Tsk, why are you still standing?" Liu Yuhua pointed at Xu Xuanyue and said, "Go wash some fruit, there is no politeness at all when you come to the guests." ”
"What." Xu Xuanyue twisted her body: "When I go home, you don't say that you washed the fruit for me to eat." ”
"Can that be the same? Just go. ”
"Where's Aunt Guo?"
"Your Aunt Guo is cooking dinner in the kitchen, and she is about to get off work, so don't look for her for anything."
Xu Xuanyue put down the package, walked to the refrigerator with a straight face, and took out a few apples and pears.
As I approached the kitchen, I smelled a familiar scent.
"Wow! Aunt Guo, is the sugar steak you burned? Xu Xuanyue's mouth was full of saliva.
"The nose is pointy." Guo Rutong turned his head to see the fruit in Xu Xuanyue's hand and asked, "Take so much, are you a guest at home?" ”
"Well, my classmate, spend the night at home tonight." Xu Xuanyue put the fruits under the sink and washed them one by one......
"Yaoyao, you have to take a good look at our family Yueyue's learning!"
Liu Yuhua chatted with Li Mengyao in the living room.
"This girl in my family really makes my hair gray, you said that you have played with you since you were a child, why is it so different." Liu Yuhua said with annoyance.
"No, Yueyue is very smart, she should just need someone to watch her."
"Mom! You speak ill of me again. As soon as Xu Xuanyue, who was carrying the cut fruit from the kitchen, came out, she heard her mother hurting herself.
After Guo Rutong brought the last sweet and sour pork ribs to the table, he wiped his hands with an apron: "Madam, you can eat." ”
The family sat down at the table, and Li Mengyao got up to help Aunt Guo serve the meal.
"This kid is so sensible." Guo Rutong praised.
"Look at the people!" Liu Yuhua echoed, but was met with Xu Xuanyue's disdainful eyes.
After the meal was served, Guo Rutong came out of the kitchen and wiped his hands with an apron: "Madam, is there anything else?" ”
"It's gone, it's gone, let's eat." Liu Yuhua said with the dish in Li Mengyao's bowl.
"No, forget it tonight, there's still something to do, if it's okay then I'll go first."
"What's wrong? I'll drive you there. ”
"No, no, you eat yours."
Guo Rutong packed up her things and walked out of the door.
After eating and washing, the two girls chatted in the room.
Xu Xuanyue sat cross-legged on the bed and used nail tongs to polish Li Mengyao's fingernails.
"Meng Yao, can you not pretend to be sensible in front of my mother next time, I'm about to be embarrassed by you." Xu Xuanyue rolled her eyes.
"Why, I've always been very sensible, okay."
", you keep talking." Xu Xuanyue pointed at Li Mengyao with a nail knife as if demonstrating.
"When I was a kid, I couldn't see your girl at all."
Li Mengyao took out her hands and put them on both sides of her cheeks: "Why don't you call the eighteenth change of the female university?" ”
"Tsk, it's a pity that I don't have a place where I should have grown up, and I don't know where the meat is eaten." Xu Xuanyue pursed her lips helplessly.
Li Mengyao tilted her head, her smart Danfeng eyes narrowed, and she smiled evilly: "You don't say long, it's breasts?" Or is it a brain? ”
"You!" Xu Xuanyue raised her hand to fight.
Liu Yuhua pushed the door in at this time: "Hey! Don't bully Yaoyao, it's not early, it's time to sleep. ”
"Mom-" Xu Xuanyue pulled a long voice: "Knock on the door!" ”
Liu Yuhua reached out and knocked on the switch of the light: "Sleep!" Then he slammed the door.
In the dark, the two girls got into the quilt and faced each other: "Yueyue, tell me about your high school again." ”
"Uh-huh......" she pondered for a moment.
"Continue to say I'm at the same table?"
"Why do you only notice your tablemate, is he handsome?"
"That's not true, although the face is very clean and quite white, but the taste of dressing or something is really flattering. In the past week, I have tried to get close to him, but it has taken a lot of effort. ”
"Is it that hard? Tell me? ”
He ...... I'm a nerd.,Hobby is nothing but reading.,I guess I'm reading now......"
Outside the window came the call of a cuckoo.
"Ahh Ke Yuhan sneezed.
"Cold?" He clipped the bookmark and closed the book, raised his head to look at the moon, there was still a slight cicada chirping outside the window, Ke Yuhan listened to the sound of this special courtship method, thought funny and peculiar, got up and closed the window.
Outside the house, there was the sound of the door being unlocked, and he went out to greet his mother.
"Mom, I'm twenty minutes late when I came back today."
Guo Rutong put down the packaged food in his hand and changed his shoes.
"Yes, the way back by car today was blocked."
"Who gave this roast duck?"
Guo Rutong shook his hand: "Oh, friend." ”
Ke Yuhan looked at her mother's unnatural movements, turned her head to observe the dirt under the shoes she had changed, and raised her head and sniffed.
"He smokes too?"
Guo Rutong's body was shocked, turned his head to look at his son's serious eyes, and smiled awkwardly.
"Yes, but the people are nice."
"How long have you known each other?"
"It's been more than a month, a friend introduced me."
"Well, just be nice to Mom."
Guo Rutong clenched his hands and felt strong in his heart: "That, Xiaoyu, are you quite disgusted by this matter?" If you don't ......"
Ke Yuhan raised his hand to interrupt his mother's words, and he smiled.
"It's Mom, your own business, I can't interfere too much."
"Well......" Guo Rutong was deeply touched in his heart.
"When are you going to take me and my brother to meet?"
"Well, after a while, he's been quite busy with business lately."
"Hmm." Ke Yuhan kept his mouth shut, not wanting to expose his mother too much.
"Have you eaten all the food?"
"Well, but I still haven't grasped the amount of salt, Xiao Chen said it's a little salty."
"Did Xiao Chen sleep?"
"Well, half an hour ago."
Guo Rutong approached his bedroom, gently opened the crack of the door, made a "squeak" sound, and saw his little son sleeping on the bed, with a relieved smile on his face, and then a sad face.
She thought in her heart: Xiaochen will be seven years old soon, she will have to go to elementary school, and she will have another amount of expenses, and she doesn't know if she can hold up the salary she earns.
She turned around: "I'll go take a shower, Xiaoyu, you should go to bed early." ”
Ke Yuhan responded and returned to his room.
He sat down at his desk, the dim light illuminating his sad face. After a moment of contemplation, he took off his glasses, wiped away his sleepy tears with his hands, turned off the light, and went to bed.
He dreams that he has turned into a prince wielding a long sword and saved a princess whose face cannot be seen clearly.
