Chapter Twenty-Three: Acquaintance in the Twilight

Yu Zixiao followed the old man's tricycle all the way to the garbage collection station on the outskirts of the city, and the uncle was unloading the tricycle beautifully, and several people next to him were also busy.

"A total of thirty pounds!" The owner of the purchasing station weighed the weight, and Yu Zixiao saw that he had mixed up a large pile of things and stuffed them into the warehouse that had entered the same garbage mountain.

What's the matter? Although Yu Zixiao still has some money in his pocket, he can't buy all the garbage, and he doesn't know where the mask is squeezed.

Yu Zixiao has been squatting on the opposite side of the garbage collection station, his already hungry flat stomach keeps sending out "cooing" signals, and when he felt that the sun was getting bigger and bigger, Yu Zixiao decided to give up temporarily: go eat a bowl of noodles first, and then I will go to the boss to talk about the situation when there are fewer people.

As soon as he took a few steps, Yu Zixiao saw an old man pushing a wheelbarrow with difficulty on the back slope not far away, which was filled with garbage that should have been sold at the purchase station.

Because of the lack of physical strength, the old man's wheelbarrow overturned down the slope at once, all kinds of empty drink bottles, waste cardboard and plastic scattered all over the ground, and the old man also lay on his back on the ground, making an "ouch" sound.

Seeing this, Yu Zixiao hurriedly rushed over, he put the old man's hand on his shoulder, helped the old man to the seat of the improvised bus stop on the side, and then moved the wheelbarrow to the side of the road, and began to pack up the things on the ground.

"Young man, are you a student at Qingling High School? I see you're wearing a school uniform. The old man's voice was not as muddy as his appearance seemed to be, but had a clear feeling.

"Yes, uncle, I'm a sophomore in high school now." Yu Zixiao stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the uncle was sitting in his seat looking at him.

"Doesn't it mean that young people nowadays don't dare to help the elderly, so you're not afraid that I will slander you? Just a few days ago, I saw the news that a young man helped an aunt and lost tens of thousands! ”

Yu Zixiao felt that the uncle was like the kind of storyteller on TV when he spoke, and every word was very clear, and there was no feeling of strangeness at all.

"Others are afraid, I'm not afraid, there are still many good people in this world after all, I know by looking at your face that you know that you are not a bad person." Yu Zixiao felt that the uncle looked kind, so he started the conversation easily.

"Haha, you're right! There are still a lot of good people in this world, otherwise I would have to slander you for tens of thousands today! Ouch! The old man was a little happy, and when he was about to stand up, the sharp pain in his waist cried out to him, and he quickly sat down and held his waist with his hand.

"You're okay, I'd better take you to the hospital first."

"Don't don't, I'm sick with an old problem, it's not curable, and I didn't fall just now."

"But ......"

"Didn't you have a parent-teacher conference today, now the parents of the students should still be participating in sports competitions at school, why did you run out?" The old man changed the topic suddenly, and Yu Zixiao Ke hadn't figured out how to answer this question yet.

"My dad went back early, and I sneaked out." Yu Zixiao looked around before speaking, and said this sentence in a voice similar to blowing.

"Huh? I'm a little hard to hear? The old man actually heard clearly.

Yu Zixiao held a sigh in his heart and wanted to sigh: "I said—my dad has already gone back—I slipped out—"

"This is a truancy, why don't you study well at a young age."

"No way, I came out to look for something, a mask, it was very special to me, but I was accidentally sold at the garbage collection station by the school's scrap collector." Yu Zixiao was worried that there was no place to talk about his grievances for a day, he looked at the kind uncle in front of him, thinking that he had finally found a place to confide.

"Masks?" Uncle's brows furrowed.

"Well, an Ultraman mask."

"Isn't it just a mask, just buy another one."

"No, that's special to me, it's a ...... on it" Yu Zixiao suddenly realized that he couldn't say any more, he subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand, and as a result, he ate all the garbage and dirt that had just been stuck on his hands into his mouth: "Poof! It's really bad luck today......"

"In this way, I'll help you take a look at that uncle, that boss and I are also old acquaintances." The uncle got up again and pushed the wheelbarrow.

"Really?" Yu Zixiao squeezed the uncle away from the handle of the wheelbarrow, "I'll push, I'll push, uncle, just help me find a mask." ”

As soon as he walked to the door of the acquisition station, the owner of the acquisition station greeted him with a smile: "Yo, Uncle Lin, I came here again today, how many catties did I bring today." ”

"It's all in the car." The old man pointed to the wheelbarrow behind him and Yu Zixiao, "As long as I came today to help this student find something, he had a mask that was accidentally received by Old Man Luo, and he will find it later, so let's buy it back by weight." ”

"Yo, Uncle Lin, what are you talking about, everyone is so familiar, my warehouse is full of useless things, you will find it later, take it away, say what to buy or not, if you say it again, I won't accept your car of goods today."

"Okay, okay, then I'll go in and find it, you weigh these things first." After the old man finished speaking, he entered the dim warehouse, and Yu Zixiao was able to ask about the unique smell of cardboard after mold, and he quickly covered his nose with his sleeve.

The boss and Yu Zixiao unloaded the goods together: "A total of thirty-two catties of little brother, come and see, right, alas!" Brother? ”

Yu Zixiao only cared about his mask, and the boss called him for a long time before he came to his senses: "Oh, yes, yes, thirty-two pounds." ”

It is estimated that after twenty minutes, I heard some noises from the door of the storeroom, and the old man walked out empty-handed, and his already dirty clothes became even dirtier.

"Young man, I'm sorry, I really didn't find it, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack." The old man put his hand on his waist.

"It's okay, forget if you can't find it, you don't have to bother anymore." Yu Zixiao was really worried that something would happen to the old man if he looked for him again.

"Well, this batch of garbage will be stored for a week, and we will sort it when the time comes, and it should be easy to find, so I'll call you and let you know." The boss enthusiastically proposed a solution, and Yu Zixiao and the old man also nodded in agreement.

The sun was about to sink into the small hill to the west, and the clouds in the sky were also dyed red by the sun's afterglow, and birds kept passing overhead, and the squeaky chirping seemed to express the joy of spring.

"You're not back to school yet? Looks like you're a resident from out of town, right? ”

"You know that?"

"What's this, our town is so big, there are so many students, and almost every family knows each other. I'll see if you're a raw face. ”

"Oh, then I should go back too, uncle, you should go home too."

Yu Zixiao waved his hand to the uncle, and walked towards the school dejectedly.

At this time, I will definitely be scolded miserably when I go back, and the dormitory manager aunt will definitely go to other dormitories to promote me as a model of the whole building......

A full moon hung in the night sky, and the melodious sound of violins sounded in a small courtyard of a farmhouse, which was built by the water and the stream, and in front of the house was a vegetable garden full of green plants, and next to the house were planted several willow trees of various sizes, and the sounds of crickets and other insects played a spring symphony for the night sky.

"Are you ready for next month's competition? I still hear you're a little rusty. ”

"It's okay, I'll step up my practice in the next two days, but the city's unified exam is coming soon, and I'm afraid I won't be able to allocate time."

Lin Yu sat in the dim light to practice the violin, and they were the only ones here, so they didn't have to worry about making noise to others, but because it was too quiet and empty, Lin Yu would inevitably be a little scared when she was home alone.

"You have to adjust this yourself, I was the same as you back then, playing the piano and studying at the same time, and in the end I was not admitted to the best school in the province...... I was ...... with your grandmother back then."

"Grandpa! You started again, I don't know how many times I've heard it, are you going to think about how you and grandma developed into lovers and then got married, my ears are about to sound cocooned. ”

The moonlight outside the window penetrated into the house and sprinkled on the score, and the silver staff seemed to be about to beat, and each note seemed to have a life of its own.

Lin Yu started practicing again, this Liang Zhu has been practicing for a month, and has never achieved the effect he wants, Lin Yu can get the entrance exemption place for the best conservatory in the province by virtue of the ranking of next week's competition, but Lin Yu still has concerns about this opportunity.

"Today, I met a nice guy from our school." Grandpa laughed and talked while peeling oranges.

"Today is up that slope again, I'm not careful, bang! I overturned the car, and I was still thinking that it was over, who would help me now? Lin Yu didn't pay any attention to her grandfather's words, and after eating a petal of orange, her grandfather continued, "As a result, that young man came over and helped me to my seat, and helped me pack up my things, just like he said, there are still many good people in this world." ”

"Then did you thank others?"

"Of course thank you, I also helped him find something, what kind of mask, said that he was accidentally taken away by the old man Luo who collected the tatters at the school, granddaughter, I told you, you have to find this young man when you go to college to find a boyfriend in the future, not only kind ......"

Lin Yu suddenly stopped the piano in her hand, she looked at her grandfather and asked seriously, "What mask?" What does that guy look like? ”

"I didn't find the mask today, but the boss said he found it and called me, that young man...... Two eyes... A nose... And a mouth..."

"Grandpa! I'm not kidding! Lin Yu was a little anxious.

"Ouch! I don't remember, I don't know if my eyes are not good, and I saw it once today, where do I remember, but he is not our local, from out of town. Grandpa scratched his head with his hand as he spoke.

"Alas, forget it, it's useless to ask you, don't scratch it, I don't know how many hairs I have?"

Grandpa smiled stupidly, and Lin Yu picked up the piano again: "I really don't understand how grandma fell in love with you in the first place." ”

"The fourth class of the second year of high school, Yu Zixiao." The director of teaching sternly caught Yu Zixiao, who was about to climb over the wall to enter at the school gate, "You must report criticism on Monday next week, if everyone is like you, then the school will not be chaotic!" ”

Yu Zixiao pouted, with a disdainful expression on his face: "Whatever you want, but I went to send something to my dad and came back late, so I hope you can explain the situation to him." ”

The stern tone softened suddenly, and he coughed twice: "Since it's to care about your family, then this, for the sake of your filial piety, forget it this time, just deduct two performance points, go back to bed." ”

Yu Zixiao almost didn't hold back his face and laughed, and after returning to the bedroom, Yu Zixiao looked at the ceiling and fell into thought: Strength is really useful, but I won't rely on others to get these things, Ye Mengning always doesn't understand this.
