Chapter 19: The Haunted

The phone in his pocket rang, and a man was also passing by, and Zhuo Ou said on the phone, I recognize you, what about you? Do you recognize me? What the? Did he pass by her? How did she not find out?

Because of the leave, I stayed at home for about a week, Xiao Ran brother went back to school early, I asked him to go back, he took away the broken mobile phone on my bedside table when he left, and by the way, he left the driver to help us move together.

It looks like we have a lot of belongings in the rental house, but when we really pack up, there aren't that much. A lot of things are so old that my dad is reluctant to throw them away, but I don't want to keep them. I threw away everything I could, and all that was left was the clothes of the two of us, plus some photo albums and my father's notebook, which made up only three boxes.

Mom's things were all packed up by us, Dad specially took out some money from the travel expenses left by Brother Xiao Ran to buy a cemetery for Mom, I brought Mom's things to the grave with him, burned them and put the ashes in the tomb, covered them up, and put a bouquet of flowers, which was regarded as a small funeral for Mom.

The next day, we left the house rented by my parents with our belongings, and took the car of Xiao Ran's brother's driver to return to City B, where we have a home, which my parents bought when I was a child and wanted to be my dowry when I grew up.

We will come back for more than ten days every year for the Chinese New Year, and the things that can be used are quite complete. My dad and I cleaned up for another two or three hours before it was dark, and the long-term home that no one lived in it looked a little home.

At this time, the landline at home suddenly rang. My dad and I looked at each other in surprise, and my dad stepped forward to answer the phone.

This landline stopped when my dad left City B, and he never renewed it, and the phone rang really weirdly.

I was also stunned to stand beside my dad and stare nervously at his expression, as if there might be a ghost on the other end of the phone, and in case something happened, I could still pull him by my dad's side.

But Dad was only a little nervous at first, and after listening to a sentence, he relaxed and waved at me, "It's you Brother Xiao Ran." ”

He gestured to hand me the phone, but I quickly flashed into my room and slammed the door shut!

I don't know why, I have a hunch that what Brother Xiao Ran wants to say to me is related to Zhuo Ou, and my mood is very chaotic now, I don't want to listen to him, and I don't want to know anything, good or bad.

I didn't expect that Brother Xiao Ran would not tell my father about Zhuo Ou, and he might hang up if he knew that I refused to answer the phone, and then I would be fine with him.

Sure enough, as I expected, my father and Brother Xiao Ran hung up the phone after saying a few words, and then knocked on my door and opened it by himself, and reprimanded me in a deep voice as I curled up on the bed: "Li Li, why are you so rude!" How good your brother Xiao Ran is to you! You won't even answer the phone, I don't remember I ever taught you that......"

I pulled the quilt I had just taken out and put it on my head, ignoring him, because his words were too long, I lay on the bed a little cold, I pulled the quilt to cover my whole body, and then fell asleep, in a daze, I felt him stuff a soft pillow under my head, and then touched my hair and went out, I fell asleep in a trance again.

The next morning, when my dad told me to get up, I blamed my dad, why didn't I wake up and take a shower after moving things for a day, and my whole head and body were dirty!

Because I had to study in the morning and couldn't take a shower and wash my hair, I had to change my clothes, tie all my hair back and ride my bicycle to school.

I unexpectedly ran into Brother Xiao Ran at the school gate.

The school requires that the car entering the school must be pushed away, and I got down at the school gate, Xiao Ran's brother grabbed my faucet and asked, "Why didn't you answer the phone yesterday?" ”

I frowned and looked sleepy-eyed, and reached out and pointed at my eyes, "Look! I haven't slept enough! ”

Brother Xiao Ran shook his head, took the bicycle from my hand, and then walked into the school with me, on the way to the parking lot, Brother Xiao Ran began to speak again, I knew that even if I resisted him to say something about Zhuo Ou, he also had a way to pour it into my ears, it was only a matter of time.

He said that yesterday he went to the airport to pick up Zhuo Ou, Zhuo Ou asked me for news, wanted to meet me, he was with Zhuo Ou when he called......

I listened coldly and didn't give him any reaction, which made him a little anxious, who had never been very expressive, he gently tugged at my sleeve and said, "Eh, you and Zhuo Ou..." I don't meddle in your affairs. ”

I looked up at him and smiled, "What's the matter between me and him?" Also, I am me, and he is him. I felt that my turn must have surprised Brother Xiao Ran handsomely, I walked ten steps away, and looked back at him standing in place, frowning slightly.

When the class was about to start, Brother Xiao Ran returned to his seat, it was rare that he didn't do the whole exercise book, but turned over a small photo album or something, carefully looking at a treasure, I leaned over to glance at it and was blocked by him.

I asked Brother Xiao Ran, "It's a beauty, right?" ”

Brother Xiao Ran ignored me, closed the album and put it in his backpack, his backpack is a treasure, I have never seen him leave his backpack, I have to take it with me at all times, even to the toilet! Several times when the head teacher saw him walking towards the toilet outside the school gate with his schoolbag on his back and reminded him that he had not finished class, he would blush with embarrassment and tell the teacher that he knew, and this kind of scene would always make me laugh and become a reason for me to laugh at him or avoid his workbook for the next few days.

School is a carefree place, and on the third day I returned to school, I had forgotten the dizziness and heartache I felt when I saw my mother's pale cheeks, and I threw myself into the plan to dominate the campus with the boss.

During this time, I was playing like crazy, and Brother Xiao Ran often looked at me with eyes that hated iron and steel, as if to say, just like you, you still want to be in the top ten in the grade, I think you are almost in the top ten! I'll roll my eyes and say, "You'll see!"

My IQ is really not low, just because my father was able to be admitted to the civil engineering school of a famous university, and even read a master's and doctor's degree, which was very, very rare in that era, and therefore met a very, very rare second-generation rich Uncle Mu, which gave me a bad relationship with Brother Xiao Ran.

I just showed in front of Brother Xiao Ran that I didn't like to study, and I didn't want him to catch me and continue to talk about things related to Zhuo Ou, because I made up my mind that I couldn't be with this person, because it hurt too much to lose, I didn't want to get it, even if it was not for nothing.

During the days when I followed the boss, although the crazy teachers on the surface gave up on me, but because my father returned to City B, and my home was not far from the school, I went home every day, and then fought at night, and for a long time paid the electricity bill Dad would say that the electricity bill at home was very weird, that was he didn't know, I would pick up the lights and fight for three hours after he started snoring, and it was precisely because of staying up late that I couldn't sit for a long time during the day, because I would doze off when I sit, I could only follow the boss to refresh myself, In this way, I didn't fall asleep in class, and during that time, I was thinner, and I didn't feel skinny, maybe it was a skinny state.

I met Zhuo Ou one afternoon after school, and it was my birthday.

Dad cooked longevity noodles for me early in the morning, the taste was not good, but I was very sensible to eat a whole bowl, I made my little stomach ache all day, I didn't eat much at noon, and in the afternoon after school was hungry and dizzy, I pushed the bicycle from the bicycle shed and rushed to the school gate to prepare for a long leg span on a hundred meters to sprint home for dinner, I saw Xiao Ran's brother, and then there was a boy standing next to him, he didn't have the school uniform required to wear, that is not a student of our school, The moment he turned his head, I felt inexplicably familiar, but at that moment I made up my mind that I was going to run away.

But I was already hungry and my eyes were full of gold, and as soon as I stepped into the car, Brother Xiao Ran caught my dragon's head, and then the boy stood in front of my car, staring at me, although I didn't look at him, but I still felt hot!

I heard him ask, "Do you still recognize me?" ”

I shook my head quickly, and then twisted the faucet in a direction, and in an instant, I rushed out with the car like an arrow from a string, and I suspected that it was Brother Xiao Ran who helped me at that time, because I jumped up the steep slope in front of the school easily!

I got home and glanced at the full-length mirror at the door, my face was red and covered with dust and sweat, I thought I must not let my father see me like this, so I dodged and hid in the bathroom, and after a long time of tinkering with it, I came out of it and walked to the kitchen.

Dad was cooking dinner, and I shook my head when I saw that he was in a hurry, and I went up and grabbed his spatula and said, "I'll come!" ”

Dad was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "My daughter has grown up!" ”

I rolled my eyes and said helplessly: "Yes, yes, when you grow up, if you don't grow up, you will be poisoned." I shoveled a pan of black and slimy things on the edge of the pan and stretched it out to my dad, "What is this?" ”

Dad scratched his hair, "Dad is not good at craft, and you didn't know it for the first time!" ”

I nodded, "I know, I know, so I don't want to cook in the future, you can go out and buy food when I'm not at home." ”

Dad was not convinced, "I'm not so unpalatable, right?" You don't have any leftover from that bowl of noodles in the morning! ”

I admired my father's unself-aware courage, gave him a thumbs up, and then stopped talking to him and began his work.

My cooking skills are not very good, but I am interested in cooking and have a desire to learn, in the elementary school period of skipping grades and waiting for the skipping days I more than once surrounded my mother to watch her skillful stir-fry cooking, but not all of them have become clouds, some have also been written down by me, occasionally they are not at home, I will try to do it myself in order to save some pocket money, but every time I uphold the belief that no matter how unpalatable I do, I have to eat all the meals I make, so they don't know, I can also cook, This makes me feel very proud of my achievements and fame.
