Chapter 7 It seems to be an old man
Torrential Rain only learned when she was about to turn twelve that her biological father was also surnamed Kim.
For so many years, Torrential Rain has never thought that he actually took his father's surname.
Jin Minghai picked up the torrential rain.
Of course, Jin Minghai will not rashly admit his relatives. Before that, he had secretly gone to the hospital for a paternity test. When he saw the results, his heart finally settled, but at the same time, many complex and indistinguishable emotions arose, which made him a little stunned.
He was afraid that the rain would come to him and ask about her mother.
The child has the right to know, but he hasn't figured out how to talk to this half-grown daughter.
Fortunately, the child didn't seem to care about it and never asked.
Torrential rain was picked up by his father Jin Minghai to S City.
Because of the weakness of English, Jin Minghai took a lot of effort to transfer to No. 9 Middle School.
In the summer vacation of the second year of junior high school, Torrential Rain signed up for an off-campus English cram school, wanting to make up for it, not wanting it to become a drag on the entrance examination in the future.
Jin Minghai went on a business trip for two weeks, so he set aside living expenses for Rushing Rain.
Rushing rain didn't excuse himself, but only asked him: "Dad, is it still Hainan this time?" ”
"Not this time", Jin Minghai changed his shoes at the entrance with his briefcase, "This trip to Xiamen." After thinking about it, he asked her, "What do you want me to bring back for you?" How about peanut crisp in Xiamen? ”
"Dad, no." Rushing rain hurriedly waved his hand, and saw a trace of loss flashing in Jin Minghai's eyes, so he added: "I heard that Xiamen's bead embroidery is very distinctive." Or ......"
"Good! No problem! Jin Minghai immediately agreed, "I promise to bring you back!" ”
"Thank you, Dad." Torrential rain said, "Stay safe on the road." Airsickness medicine is placed on the inside of your briefcase. You remember to eat before you get on the plane. ”
"Good, good." Jin Minghai was very moved, although this daughter was not very close to him, he never let himself worry about it. In any case, taking her to her side is definitely the most correct decision in all these years.
Jin Minghai really doesn't have to worry about this daughter.
Torrential rain is very frugal in terms of money, and it is basically a must-buy for things that should be bought, and things that should not be bought are never more nostalgic in front of the stall. She rarely took the initiative to ask Jin Minghai for money, and it was all because of her careful budgeting, she couldn't spend too much at all. Every time she was given pocket money, there was a surplus, and then she took the account book to the bank to open an account and saved it all.
When she graduated from high school, she went to check the amount of money at once, and she didn't know that she was a little rich woman among the students.
One afternoon after Jin Minghai was on a three-day business trip, Torrential Rain cooked a pot of sour plum soup in the kitchen.
Rushing Rain scooped a bite and tasted it, feeling that the taste was slightly astringent, so he added another spoonful of honey to it. As soon as I stirred it with a spoon, I heard the doorbell ring.
Torrential rain put down the spoon and went to open the door.
Zhai Yi looked a little darker than before. Maybe he belongs to "tanning white skin", which is a bit similar to Chen Yuyao. He returned from a vacation with his family and there was no noticeable change in skin color.
"Come on in." Rushing rain said, "Is Gulangyu Island fun?" ”
Zhai Yi entered the door and raised the two boxes of things in his hand towards her, "Well, these are proof of play." For you. ”
Rushing Yu glanced at it and hurriedly excused himself: "Don't be so polite, you really don't need it, take it back." ”
Zhai Yi naturally refused: "I brought it to you on purpose." ”
"This ......," said Torrential Rain embarrassedly, "I get a rash when I eat peanuts, so I ......"
Zhai Yi immediately came to his senses, "Oh, that's right. It's all my fault, I didn't know about it beforehand......"
"No, it's not your fault", in the face of Zhai Yi's gentlemanly demeanor of taking responsibility for everything, Rushing Yu couldn't say anything while appreciating it, "It's my peanut allergy, how can it be your fault." At best...... Peanuts' fault. ”
Zhai Yi laughed.
Rushing rain also smiled: "I cooked sour plum soup, do you want to drink a bowl before leaving?" ”
"Okay." Zhai Yi responded happily.
Rushing rain went to the kitchen to add a spoonful of osmanthus to the pot at the end, and when he was about to put it up, he heard Zhai Yi say: "You help me dry it first, and I'll be back soon." ”
"Huh?" Rushing rain stretched out his head, and saw the door half-hidden behind Zhai Yi.
She took out the sour plum soup and put it on the table, Zhai Yi had already folded it back at this time, and changed the box of things in her hand.
"What are you ......" Rushing Rain's eyes widened.
"Another specialty of Xiamen - wood-fired Tieguanyin." Zhai Yi explained with a smile: "You have a tea set at home, I think you must have the habit of drinking tea." ”
The torrential rain couldn't help but be dumb.
The tea set was actually bought by Jin Minghai's vassal Fengya. As a result, I bought a bunch of books on tea tasting and tea appreciation, and after turning it over a few times, it became an extracurricular book for Rapid Rain.
has been a neighbor with Zhai Yi for so long, and she knows a little about the Zhai family.
Zhai Yi's father is a well-known local artist, and it is said that he used to be a university professor, and it is his hobby to come and drink tea. And the box of tea sent by Zhai Yi is likely to have been bought by Professor Zhai when Zhai was in Xiamen.
"I can't take that." Rushing Rain said, "You see, I haven't given you anything." You went out to play and brought me peanut crisp, which is already very heartfelt, and that's enough. ”
"In addition to being neighbors, we should also be friends, right?" Zhai Yi said, "And you also helped me when I first came here." What's this little gift? ”
He was talking about the power outage. Rushing Rain thought that if this was the case, he didn't have to take it to heart. Because whoever is polite in the face of a knock on the door, and the teenager who seems to be very well-bred is in an embarrassment, he will help him.
There may be few people who refuse his kindness, Zhai Yi felt a little at a loss, and when he caught a glimpse of the sour plum soup on the table, he couldn't help blurting out: "If you don't accept it, how can I be embarrassed to drink your sour plum soup?" ”
As soon as the words came out, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
You don't want my stuff, and I can't want you anymore. This act is like a child who insists on giving gifts. can't accept that the other party doesn't appreciate it.
How did you say such a thing?
"Is it too cheap to exchange a bowl of sour plum soup for a box of Tieguanyin?" Rushing Rain asked him with a smile.
"No, it won't!" Zhai Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "One can be bought with money, and your bowl of sour plum soup took effort to boil, if you say that you take advantage, it should be me." ”
The character of a gentleman will always make people feel like a spring breeze.
Rushing rain felt that if he changed to someone who was not determined, he would be spoiled by his demeanor, "Then you, drink more." ”
"No problem." Zhai Yi responded to her happily.
Not long after the sour plum soup came out, it was still very hot. So the rain lowered the air conditioner by two degrees, while talking to Zhai Yi.
"There is more than half of this summer vacation left, do you have any other plans?"
"No more. I played and played, and I had to go to practice. Zhai Yi said. Today is my last day of leisure. ”
Torrential Rain smiled and didn't speak.
"Do you want to wait and go rollerblading?" Zhai Yi proposed.
"No, I won't slip." Rushing Rain shook his head, "And I have to go to make up for it in the afternoon." ”
"Make up for what?" He thought for a moment, "English? ”
"Hmm."
"Uh......" Zhai Yi felt that there was really no need for tutoring in English, and felt that as long as he accumulated a certain vocabulary and understood a few grammar formulas, there was no difficulty at all.
The English lab class is nothing more than a bunch of test papers and vocabulary tasks for students to do on their own. In his opinion, there is no need at all: "If you go to cram school, I might as well help you make up for it - after all, I am a person who has passed the high school entrance examination." He added with a hint of emotion, "I know what to take the test." ”
Rushing Yu knew that he was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School with a perfect score in English, and as soon as the score of the high school entrance examination came out, the news was posted on the glorious draft column of the No. 9 Middle School.
But Rushing Rain didn't want to trouble him, "Aren't you going to go to the piano room to practice?" ”
“…… That's right", Zhai Yi picked up the bowl and blew, "It seems that you can drink it." ”
"How's it taste?" Rushing Rain asked, "Do I need to add more sugar?" ”
"Just right. No. Zhai Yi said, "The taste of authentic old sour plum soup." When I was a kid, I went to my grandmother's house and drank it once. ”
Rushing rain smiled: "Such a high evaluation? Then do I want to serve you some more and bring it back to my uncle and aunt to taste? ”
"Do you have enough to drink yourself?" Zhai Yi seems to really like to drink.
Rushing rain hurriedly said: "Of course it's enough, it's a big pot to boil." ”
After sending Zhai Yi away, Torrential Rain also drank a small bowl, and then cooled the remaining sour plum soup and sealed it and put it in the refrigerator.
At half past four in the afternoon, the sun was setting in the west, but the light was still strong. Rushing rain holds a small parasol and carries a bookbag ready to take the bus home.
However, just as the bus was about to arrive, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure flashing across the road.
It's him!
Torrential rain has always trusted his eyesight. Hurriedly ran to the crosswalk, anxiously waiting for the green light to let go.
The figure is getting farther and farther away, and the red light seems to be so long that there is no end in sight. Seeing the other party sitting in a white car, Rushing Rain's heart couldn't help but sink, and he longed to give birth to a pair of wings at this moment. At this time, the red light finally came to an end, and as soon as it changed to green, the torrential rain raised its feet and ran towards the opposite side.
However, a long and shrill horn whistled from the right, and Torrential Rain saw a black private car speeding in his direction, and he couldn't dodge it at all.
Finished!
Torrential Rain stiffened, and only this thought came to mind.
Suddenly, a strong force pushed her aside, and she fell heavily in the torrential rain, and her elbow rubbed to the ground, and a moment later it hurt fiercely.
Rushing Yu didn't bother to check the injury, so he quickly got up and looked back. A girl in a light blue dress froze to the ground, looking pained. And her backpack was thrown a few meters away from the clouds. Rushing Rain felt that her face was very familiar, and after a moment of thinking about it, she finally remembered that it was the girl who had relieved her urgent need in the bathroom!
She saved herself again!
"Thank you...... You wait, wait for me! "The rain was frightened, and some were incoherent, but the brain calmed down in a short time. She ran towards the car that was lying in front of her, and when she reached the side of the car, she reached out and knocked on the black glass window on the driver's side: "You hit someone." ”
In a moment, the window of the car slowly lowered, and Torrential Rain saw a white face wearing sunglasses.
A knife-like nose, thin lips, and a snow-white, slightly pointed chin.
The torrential rain suppressed the exclamation that almost overflowed his throat, and after a pause, he spit out a few words with difficulty: "Little uncle." ”
In a daze, Situ Que had already waved his hand at her, and she took a few steps back.
"Xiaoyu", Situ Que got out of the car: "What are you doing in a daze?" - Help get people in the car and take them to the hospital! ”
"Oh, oh, good." When the rain came back to her senses, she ran to the girl's side and tried to help her up carefully, but as soon as she tried hard, the girl made a "ouch" in pain.
"Did you hurt your bones, you can't use your strength...... "Rushing rain helped her hard, a heart went up and down, seeing that the girl's right leg was broken like this, she felt guilty, leaned over, and almost fell back to the ground with the girl.
"I'll come." Situ Que walked over quickly and took the person from the hands of the rushing rain.
With a little force, he picked him up and walked towards the car.
Seeing this, Torrential Rain bent down to pick up the girl's backpack and sped up his pace, got to the car before them, and opened the door on the side of the car behind him, Situ Que bent down and gently put the girl down, letting her lie in the back.
At this time, Rushing Rain remembered that he should have called 120 just now.
She looked at Situ Que and wondered if he had a mobile phone with her, and then heard Situ Que say in a gentle tone: "I'm sorry for hurting you." Now I'll take you to the hospital right away, you bear with it first. ”
"Hmm." Gu Nianzhu nodded lightly.
"Xiaoyu, you sit in the co-pilot." Situ Que ordered the rain to rain.
"Oh." Rushing rain sat in the car as he said.
"Thank you."
The rain broke the silence in the car and turned back to the girl. This is the second time she's helped herself.
To Torrential Rain, she is an angelic being.
The girl shook her head weakly and said nothing.
Situ Que also turned his head: "Yes, I really want to thank you." Otherwise, it will be Xiaoyu who is injured. ”
Torrential Rain was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "What does he mean...... Is it ......" Before he could think of a suitable word, he heard the girl ask softly, "So you know each other?" ”
Situ Que did not speak.
Rushing rain had no choice but to tell the truth: "I call him little uncle." ”
After arriving at the hospital, she helped Situ Que carry the girl into the elevator.
"I seem to have seen you somewhere......"
Torrential Paused and reminded her softly: "It's ...... in the toilet," she added, "In the toilet of the Ninth Middle School." ”
"Oh, it's you." The girl smiled palely, she remembered.
"My name is Gu Nianzhu."
Situ Que glanced over.
"Your name is so special." Seeing that Situ Que didn't mean to introduce himself, Rushing Rain didn't dare to make a claim, so he only handed himself out: "My name is Jin Rushing Rain." ”
Situ Que was in the emergency room with a specialist number, and they soon saw a doctor.
The diagnosis came out quickly, Gu Nianzhu's right leg was fractured, and she needed to be hospitalized for a week after being put on a plaster cast.
Rushing Rain asked her, "What's your phone number at home?" I will inform your family. ”
Gu Nianzhu saw her right elbow and couldn't help but be anxious: "Your wound ...... You also hurry up and deal with it. ”
"That's right, Xiaoyu." Situ Que said, "You go to the nurse to help you stop bleeding and disinfect the wound, and I will settle the medical expenses together." ”
The rain rain can only do so.
In fact, she wanted to ask about that person all the way, but until now, she couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
By the time the torrential rain returned, the two had already gone to the ward.
Rushing rain asked the nurse for the ward number, and when she arrived, she saw Gu Nianzhu drinking water.
"What about him?" Rushing Rain asked.
"Who?" Gu Nianzhu suddenly realized after a while, "You said your little uncle...... He's gone. ”
"Gone?" Rushing rain subconsciously tightened his throat, "How can that work?" ”
"He said he had paid for 10 days of hospitalization...... Although I said that I had money myself, he ......" Gu Nianzhu paused, "someone called him, and he was in a hurry, so he had to leave first." ”
The meaning of maintaining understanding revealed by Gu Nianzhu's words made Rushing Yu a little surprised.
Strictly speaking, Situ Que was the perpetrator who hospitalized her with injuries. But at present, it seems that Situ Que has left a good impression on her.
Torrential Rain felt that her previous worries were completely unnecessary.
However, then she realized that Situ Que was gone, and she had become responsible.
