Chapter Forty-Four: The Long Night Is Silent and I Can't Sleep
Gu Anzhi washed the dishes and chopsticks and cleaned everything up, Gu Yin and her grandmother were still busy in the room, Gu Anzhi swept the stove room, wiped the stove and cupboard carefully, and took care of it, he hadn't been so busy for a long time.
He thought about the one-third of an acre of land he used to have, it couldn't be simpler, do you want to go back and take a look, isn't there still half a stubble of noodles left that hasn't been eaten, Gu Anzhi smiled, feeling ridiculous, maybe it has already been rented out again.
Gu Anzhi sat on the bench in the guest hall bored, standing up and walking back and forth from time to time, he had been waiting for a long time, he also heard the sound of running water, and he was strange, but it was impossible for him to go in now, he didn't even dare to have this idea.
"Crunch"
There was a sound of opening the door, Gu Anzhi quickly stood up and walked over, it was Gu Yin, she was holding a blue plastic basin with one hand, the other end of the basin was against her waist, and the other hand opened the door.
"It's good-looking, I don't know if it's good to come over and help, it's very heavy."
Gu Anzhi sighed, and quickly stretched out his hand to take the basin in Gu Yin's hand, it was indeed a little heavy, and it seemed that there was a lot of moisture in it.
"Where to put it...
"Go upstairs, there's a washing machine upstairs"
Gu Yin shook his arm and motioned for Gu Anzhi to follow, Gu Anzhi held the basin, looked at the clothes inside, and followed behind Gu Yin, a unique smell of laundry detergent permeated the tip of his nose, it was stained, and he knew it as soon as he smelled it.
"Do you have to do this every day?"
"Almost, you go up this staircase, the first room you see on the left hand side is the bathroom, you just put your things inside"
"What about you?"
"I've got to go get the sheets and bedding, you don't have to wait for me, you can go rest after that, uh. Or you can sleep in the second room on the right-hand side upstairs, the sheets are in the cabinet, you can get it yourself, I'll go first, and you can call me if you have a problem."
Gu Anzhi looked at the back of Gu Yin leaving in a hurry, and stood in place with a basin, until he couldn't see her figure or hear her footsteps, then turned his head and walked upstairs.
According to Gu Yin, he put his clothes on the floor of the bathroom, and then came to his room and began to make the bed, although what happened now made him feel related, but he really couldn't do anything.
As soon as he shook off the quilt, he heard footsteps outside the door, he opened the door and tilted his head, sure enough, it was Gu Yin, he hurriedly rushed out, but found that Gu Yin had nothing in his hand.
"It's pretty fast, let's go downstairs and help me carry something"
Gu Anzhi was puzzled, but he still followed Gu Yin downstairs, there was a blue bucket in the living room, which was stuffed with bedding, Gu Anzhi mentioned it, it was indeed a little heavy, Gu Anzhi looked at Gu Yin with a trace of doubt.
"You guys usually ...
"Usually I don't take the river alone in my grandmother, at most take it back and take off the water, she only washes it at home when it's cold, I have said that she has been many times, today I accidentally got wet, so I have to work hard for you~"
Gu Yin smiled at Gu Anzhi's "shyness", Gu Anzhi carried the bucket, and there was nowhere to complain in his heart, are you really just accidentally wet, you have at least half a bucket of water in here, Gu Anzhi didn't have time to wait for Gu Yin, he rushed to the second floor in one breath, and there were many water stains on the stairs.
"Okay, it's none of your business, you can rest, or wait for grandma to finish accompanying your mother, you know."
Gu Anzhi looked at Gu Yin who was smiling evilly, because he had just carried the bucket upstairs, the young man's face was flushed, and only then did he see that Gu Yin's hair was stained with some droplets.
Hearing Gu Yin's words, and then thinking of her grandmother, Gu Anzhi shuddered, the old man loves to nag the most, he was really caught by her, and he had to whip Gu Anzhi hundreds of times, Gu Anzhi didn't have a cold war, he didn't care about Gu Yin who was laughing at him, and hurriedly left.
"Hey, don't you wash up, there are slippers at the door"
"Wait a minute ~ I'll lay the sheets"
When Gu Anzhi climbed into bed, turned off the light and curled up in the quilt, he keenly felt that a small crack was opened in the doorway, and he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
"Grandma, I told you, he fell asleep, you still don't believe it"
"This kid, too, it's not too late, you're all tired for a day, you should rest early, soak the clothes first and wash them tomorrow, so as not to wait to quarrel with this child"
"But..."
"Obedient, rest early, I'll sleep in your mother's room tonight, you sleep in your old room"
Gu Yin was helpless, he knew that he had thrown his clothes directly into the washing machine at the beginning, why should he care about that guy's feelings.
Gu Anzhi was lying on the bed, listening to the footsteps that were gradually moving away, sleep, is it possible for him to sleep, and now as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the princess floating on the blue ocean in front of him.
He finally knew that Gu Yin didn't just like blue, but because of her mother, he felt that a girl like Gu Yin shouldn't have something she liked, unless, that thing meant a lot to her.
Gu Anzhi was lying on the bed tossing and turning, he seemed to have heard Gu Yin's grandmother's cough, like a sharp claw tearing at his heart, he thought it might be an auditory hallucination, late at night, there was a rustling sound in his ears, Gu Anzhi knew that this was the tinnitus that would occur in the dead of night every night, he closed his eyes and tried to control his thoughts, but the more so, the more counterproductive.
He finally fell asleep, he didn't know when, maybe the sky had just appeared white, he just felt a terrible headache, and then he relaxed.
He had a dream, he even suspected that it was not a dream, he dreamed of Gu Yin's mother, and he also dreamed of Gu Yin's father, but when the blurred face became clearer, Gu An woke up in a flash, because he saw the face that had been torn apart by him countless times, his father.
Gu Anzhi opened the curtains, but found that the sky was not completely bright, he touched the PHS next to the bed, at 6:43, he had vaguely heard the rooster crow, he lay on the bed again, the bedding had a faint fragrance, but this could not make him sleep again, he had already smelled it last night, fortunately this aroma was different from the one in that room, otherwise it would undoubtedly be another disaster for him.
Although Gu Anzhi was still a little sleepy at this time, he still got dressed and opened the door and walked downstairs, grandma was already cleaning up breakfast, and Gu Yin seemed to be still in her gentle township.
"Why don't you sleep for a while, get up so early, Xiao Yin said that you all get up very early at school, and every time you have a holiday, you ask me to let her sleep a little longer, don't disturb her, she wakes up and gets up"
Gu Anzhi touched his head embarrassedly, sat down in front of the stove, and began to add firewood to it.
"No, I went to bed earlier than her last night, let her sleep more, she usually uses her brain a lot, uh.."
Gu Anzhi thought that it was good that Gu Yin was not here, otherwise when he heard his words, there was a high probability that he would be mad again.
"Hehe, you child, it's still like this, I've been protecting her since I was a child, no wonder she kissed you, Liu Yang, hmph, when I mention their wife, I'm angry, forget it, what do you want to eat today, grandma will make it for you"
"That grandma, forget it, it's good usually, it's good usually, just eat it in the morning, or you can make porridge, and. . . Stay with your aunt to avoid trouble."
"You kid, okay, then I'll boil your aunt's favorite porridge"
The old man smiled, Gu Anzhi also smiled, and stabbed him into the stove pit with tongs, he hadn't burned the fire for several days, and almost extinguished the fire, he lowered his head and turned sideways to pick up the weeds on the ground, but the afterglow went up slightly but seemed to have found something.
Gu Anzhi raised her head, Gu Yin tilted her head and leaned against the door frame, she was wearing a pink pajamas, a pair of bear slippers under her feet, her long hair was casually spread out, and she was looking at Gu Anzhi with a sleepy look.
Gu Anzhi's heart was beating faster with the tongs in his arms, and he didn't want to think much about it, so he hurriedly turned sideways and stuffed the tongs to the stove, but because of the momentary hurry, the dead leaves were scattered all over the ground, and Gu Yin smiled and hit Hache.
"I can't even do this little thing, let's come on, you go while you rest"
Gu Yin walked down the threshold as he spoke, and grandma also turned around when she heard the voice.
"It's Xiao Yin, why did you get up?"
"There are guests in the house, and I can't sleep"
Gu Anzhi was embarrassed, looking at Gu Yin standing in front of him, his mood had not calmed down, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"If you are stunned, the fire will be extinguished"
"Ahh
When Gu Anzhi sent things into the stove, it was already too late, the fire had already been extinguished, Gu Anzhi had enough strength to blow into it, and finally his face was flushed with exhaustion, but there was still no improvement in the stove, Gu Yin looked at him speechless for a while.
"Blow it like this, it won't burn until it gets dark, you are embarrassed to say that you are from the countryside, no, don't be ashamed, get up"
Gu Anzhi couldn't refute Gu Yin's words when he heard them, so he had to stand aside, and his grandmother smiled on the side and counted Gu Yin down, but Gu Yin was not moved at all.
"Look, if you want to do this, you don't have to blow hard, just blow a little bit"
Gu Yin stretched the tongs to the bottom of the weeds, carried them out with some gaps, and blew softly, Gu Anzhi stood beside her, her nose floated through her hair, knowing that she washed her head again last night, Gu Anzhi waited for a while, he was a little worried that Gu Yin might also be a little tired, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"But it... Didn't it burn too?"
Gu Yin's face turned red for a while, and he stood up and angrily scolded Gu Anzhi.
"It's not because you just put out the fire, otherwise how could it not be ignited"
Looking at Gu Yin's appearance, Gu An couldn't get angry at all, he sat on the bench and started to light the fire again.
"Sister Yin's lesson is, I keep it in mind, boy, so you better go wash up first, it's better to hand over the fire to a half-baked person like me, a master like you often appears in the finale"
Gu Yin glared at him dissatisfied, snorted, and then looked at the grandmother with a bright face, and walked upstairs angrily, and finally heard it.
"You know how to bully me, grandma, you too, don't kiss your granddaughter, woo woo, I'm going to find my mother, or my mother loves me the most"
Gu Anzhi was speechless, this little drama spirit has been like this since he was a child, he smiled, lowered his head and began to make fire, but there was an indescribable loneliness hidden in his smile.
