Yang Xiaoxiao really didn't expect that such a thing as touching porcelain would happen to her.

She really doesn't have time to walk to the bus station and then go to the airport, in fact, X county is not connected to high-speed rail or plane, and she still needs to go to the provincial capital to transfer the train back to X county, so that the road will be delayed for at least ten hours.

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. If she had wings now, she would definitely fly back to the county seat.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and at this moment, there was an old lady who was walking on the side of the road, and suddenly fell down the steps, Yang Xiaoxiao immediately stepped forward and helped the old lady up, "Auntie, are you okay?" ”

As a result, when the old lady was in a dizzy state, Yang Xiaoxiao was falsely accused.

It's not that she doesn't know that many news reports have reported this social phenomenon of "not helping", but at this time, when she sees every old man, she will think of her grandmother who fell on the side of the road, and she also hopes to help other old people now. There will also be people who will help my grandmother when they see it.

However, in the end, it is still the wrong person's heart.

There were more and more people around, and even the family members of the two old ladies came behind, pulling Yang Xiaoxiao and not letting them go.

Yang Xiaoxiao finally stopped a taxi on the side of the road, and now she can only defend: "I really didn't hit her, I just stopped the car on the side of the road, and when I saw this aunt falling, I helped her." ”

The old lady's family also began to be unreasonable: "I just saw you hit it, you just hurried away, you hit it." ”

There was also a tall boy waiting for the bus next to him, with headphones plugged in, who looked like a high school student, and walked up, "I prove that this sister didn't hit anyone at all." It was only when he saw that the old man had fallen that he reached out to help. ”

Yang Xiaoxiao is really grateful, and there is a young man here who is willing to stand up and testify for her at this time.

She turned, "Thank you." ”

The young man's face was a little red. Waving his hand, he said, "It's okay." ”

When the old lady's family saw the two talking, they immediately pointed at them and said, "They know each other!" It's collusion! ”

Yang Xiaoxiao: "......"

Most of the onlookers also came to see the excitement, and some clearly knew that it was porcelain, but there was no way, not to mention that ordinary people couldn't help it, even if the police came, they couldn't help it.

However, that doesn't mean everyone can't do it.

A long figure walked over from the crowd, and the man had a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, swept over the old lady lying on the ground, and finally landed on Yang Xiaoxiao's face.

Gu Qingcheng took a step forward and pulled Yang Xiaoxiao over. Shen Sheng instructed Fang Shu behind him: "Send a car to send this old lady to the hospital, the examination fee is all covered, in addition, call the police, and then call out the monitoring." ”

When the family of the old lady in the back heard this, they were a little dumbfounded, they originally wanted to make money, and although it cost a lot of money to go to the hospital for examination, it didn't go into their pockets.

wanted to step forward to stop this man, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was swept away by this man's sharp eyes. Suddenly, the arm froze in place.

The crowd in front automatically staggered a road, and Gu Qingcheng pulled Yang Xiaoxiao and walked towards the car in front.

He didn't go to the car to Shen's house arranged by the tree above, but got into Dong Zhe's car not far away.

Yang Xiaoxiao got into the car and grabbed the front seat and said to Dong Zhe: "Is it okay to go to the airport now?" ”

Gu Qingcheng followed, Dong Zhe glanced in the rearview mirror, and Gu Qingcheng said, "Go to the airport." ”

Yang Xiaoxiao didn't speak all the way, and when she arrived at the airport, she didn't have time to say a word to Gu Qingcheng, so she opened the car door and ran down, the high heels were really not very convenient, she stumbled, and a pair of warm big hands behind her helped her.

"Thank you."

This time, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but hug her waist without parting, "Let's go." ”

When he was in the waiting hall, Yang Xiaoxiao told Gu Qingcheng about his grandmother's hospitalization, and Gu Qingcheng listened silently, his eyes were as dark and deep as ever.

"I really can't imagine it...... I haven't seen my grandmother for two years, and I'm busy making money here, and I'm making regular calls to my grandmother every month, but now...... What if I don't even see my grandmother for the last time......"

At this time, Yang Xiaoxiao really felt a sentence deeply: you never know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident.

She really regretted it, regretted that even the last loved one in this world who cared for her ended up losing.

Yang Xiaoxiao leaned on Gu Qingcheng's shoulder, a handful of snot and tears were all rubbed on his expensive handmade suit, but Gu Qingcheng did not push her away, but let her cry, raised his arm and stroked her back a few times.

After an hour and a half by plane, then change trains.

After getting off the plane, Yang Xiaoxiao turned on his mobile phone and saw a missed call from Shen Jiayou, so he replied to Shen Jiayou with a message.

In the airport mall, Gu Qingcheng bought Yang Xiaoxiao a pair of flat-soled sneakers and asked her to replace the high heels on her feet.

Yang Xiaoxiao's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and now he was leisurely and dry, sitting down on the chair, wanting to take the shoes in Gu Qingcheng's hand and change them by himself, but he held his hand down.

Gu Qingcheng half-squatted down in front of her, took off Yang Xiaoxiao's high heels, and noticed that there were two red bubbles on the soles of her smooth feet, "Why are the soles of her feet blistered again?" ”

"New high heels will grind your feet, and it will be good to wear them for a long time."

Yang Xiaoxiao leaned over to take the shoes, Gu Qingcheng took the flat shoes first, held Yang Xiaoxiao's ankle with his warm big hand, and raised the other hand on his foot to put on the flat shoes for Yang Xiaoxiao.

The shopping guide on one side watched enviously from behind, and when Gu Qingcheng asked the shopping guide to wrap up the pair of high heels and go to the front to check out, the shopping guide in the back said, "Miss, your boyfriend is so good to you." ”

Yang Xiaoxiao's face was scornful, and she was just about to explain, when Gu Qingcheng suddenly called her: "Help me sign the list, I'll answer the phone." ”

"Oh."

Yang Xiaoxiao wrote the word Gu Qingcheng on the card slip, feeling that his name was really good-looking.

"Mr. Gu, thank you, I was a little unstable just now, but now it's completely fine, I'll go back to see my grandmother alone, you can go back......"

"Borrowed, borrowed, borrowed."

Yang Xiaoxiao turned his head in surprise, there was a cargo cart behind him, and he wanted to move to the side before he could see it clearly, but it was in the wrong direction, and he almost hit the cart directly, but fortunately, Gu Qingcheng pulled Yang Xiaoxiao back in time and said, "Throw it aside when you run out?" ”

Yang Xiaoxiao: "......"

The shelf cart had already gone away, and Gu Qingcheng pulled Yang Xiaoxiao's wrist with his hand: "Let's go, I'm not at ease." ”

Because of his words, Yang Xiaoxiao's heart jumped a few times, bang, bang.

Follow him and look at his chiseled face.

When buying a ticket at the train station, it was Yang Xiaoxiao who lined up with the ID cards of the two to buy it, and Gu Qingcheng smoked a cigarette outside the ticket hall.

As soon as the cigarette butt was lit, the phone in the pocket began to buzz and vibrate.

I took out my phone and glanced at the name on the screen, and by this time, it was time to call.

Gu Qingcheng took a deep puff of his cigarette and pressed the answer button to his ear, "Hey." ”

"Second brother, the family is waiting for you to eat, and you haven't come back yet?"

Although it was Shen Zhou's mobile phone number, it was Shen Jiayu who spoke.

Has the relationship between the father and son eased?

Gu Qingcheng said: "I have something to do in the field now, I shouldn't go back for two days, you can help me tell my uncle." ”

Shen Jiayou said "oh", "It's a coincidence, dawn also said that she was not in City C for the past two days." ”

Gu Qingcheng was silent.

Before Shen Jiayou went abroad, Gu Qingcheng and this cousin didn't have a lot of intersection, and the only few times they returned to the Shen family were because of their mother, but unfortunately, Shen Jiayou was purely a gentleman at that time, and he couldn't enter Gu Qingcheng's eyes at all.

Yang Xiaoxiao took Gu Qingcheng's ID card and saw that when he took the ID photo, he should still be in the special forces unit, and it was the same size as Xu Muheng three years ago, but Gu Qingcheng's board size was longer and more prominent.

If you are inch, you will show that you are more spiritual, and of course, it will also highlight all the facial features of the person, once there is a flaw, it will be exposed, which is a test of people's appearance.

Gu Qingcheng looks very heroic, his cheeks are more angular when he is inch, and now his hair is a little longer, and his contours are slightly softer.

Yang Xiaoxiao took the ticket from the station and came out, the nearest car to X County was still half an hour, she walked out, and saw Gu Qingcheng at the railing, one leg bent and pressed at the bottom of the railing, slender fingers carrying a cigarette, one hand in his trouser pocket, slightly squinting at the dark clouds rolling in the distance.

It looks like it's going to rain.

Yang Xiaoxiao walked over, lowered his head and glanced at Gu Qingcheng's ID card again, wrote down his birthday, and then handed it to him.

Gu Qingcheng glanced down, he had already seen through what Yang Xiaoxiao was thinking, and said, "The birthday above was reported when I was registered later, not my real birthday." ”

Yang Xiaoxiao blinked, "Then when is your birthday?" ”

Gu Qingcheng took the train ticket and ID card, "I forgot." ”

He walked towards the ticket gate first.

Yang Xiaoxiao thought that Gu Qingcheng was the kind of pampered young master, basically the car was sent by car, just like this kind of train with ordinary carriages, and he had never been on it.

Gu Qingcheng pulled Yang Xiaoxiao and walked into the carriage through the crowded crowd, "I haven't been on a rocket, that's true." ”

"Hey, hey."

Yang Xiaoxiao laughed twice.

Although Gu Qingcheng was born in a noble family, he has rich life experience, and he is definitely not a rich second generation who enjoys success in a large family business.

Gu Qingcheng and Yang Xiaoxiao's seats were at the back of the carriage, and after passing through the long crowded passage between the seats, they found their seats according to the seat number on the ticket.

It's a two-seater.

Gu Qingcheng asked Yang Xiaoxiao to sit by the window of the car, and he sat outside.

Yang Xiaoxiao and Gu Qingcheng walked all the way from the front of the carriage to the rear of the carriage, and many people's eyes fell on this seemingly young couple.

Because it was a train close to late at night, it was one or two o'clock in the morning when it arrived in the county seat, and now at this point in time, many people in the carriage have fallen asleep, walking through the aisle between the seats, and the stretched legs and curled bodies can be seen everywhere.

Yang Xiaoxiao cried a little just now, her eyes were a little sour, and she blew cold wind, had a stuffy nose, sneezed several times in a row, and fell asleep against the car window in a daze.

Gu Qingcheng glanced sideways, took off the black coat of his coat and covered her body.

He paid attention to it, Yang Xiaoxiao's hometown is a small station, only stopping for three minutes, and before getting off the train, there are already conductors who have come to report the station.

Yang Xiaoxiao slept lightly, but still fell asleep.

She rubbed her eyes, and the first thing that caught her eye was Gu Qingcheng, who was only wearing a shirt and a blazer, only to notice that she was wearing a heavy men's coat, so she hurriedly sat up and draped Gu Qingcheng over her shoulders.

"Let's go, it's time to stop."

"Hmm."

It was a little cold at one o'clock in the morning, and when Yang left the train station at dawn, he couldn't help but put his collar up.

A small station with a relatively wide small square in front, and the lights of the street lamps are swaying in the cold wind.

Yang Xiaoxiao called her aunt and wanted to ask which hospital she was in, but no one answered the phone.

I had no choice but to take a taxi home first.

The house is a small courtyard, there are many houses in it, Yang Xiaoxiao took the key to open the door, and lightly turned on the light, "Grandma? ”

No one.

There was no one at home either.

Yang Xiaoxiao felt that her heart suddenly became very cold.

Passing through the hallway at the door, a neighbor happened to come out to the toilet at night, and when he saw the light on here, he squinted and walked over.

"Are you looking for Mrs. Yang?"

Yang Xiaoxiao felt that this voice was a little familiar, and when she looked over, it was a middle-aged woman in a coat, so she called out: "Aunt Wang, I'm dawn." ”

"Oh, dawn, I'm back to see your grandmother," said Aunt Wang, "I fainted for a while yesterday afternoon, and then your uncle sent me an infusion." ”

"In which hospital?"

"I didn't go to the hospital, but in the clinic in the back, there was a disease that I saw there."

Yang Xiaoxiao chuckled in her heart.

My aunt called before, obviously saying that she fainted and was sent to the hospital for rescue, how can such a serious illness be cured by casual infusion in the clinic?

It's all about saving money.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang."

Yang Xiaoxiao turned around and said to Gu Qingcheng, who was standing at the top of the stairs, "Let's go, my grandmother is not at home." ”

Aunt Wang thought that Yang Xiaoxiao was talking to her, but when she looked over, she found that there was a black figure standing at the dark staircase, and there was a little spark flickering and flickering, and there was a faint smell of smoke.

The location of the clinic is not too far away, just a 20-minute walk away.

In the dark streets, dogs barking could be heard in the distance, and a stray cat occasionally popping out of the darkness could make Yang Xiaoxiao suddenly clench the corner of Gu Qingcheng's clothes beside him in fright.

The two of them didn't say much, and Yang Xiaoxiao looked up at Gu Qingcheng's eyes, and they were also bloodshot.

Her fingers curled up slightly, and she took the initiative to hook Gu Qingcheng's hand.

Gu Qingcheng's footsteps paused slightly, and Yang Xiaoxiao happened to raise his head, his eyes were black and white, and they were particularly distinct in the faint moonlight.

A long road, a long walk to reach the clinic.

The lights outside the clinic were dimmed, only the inside was still on.

Yang Xiaoxiao pushed the door in, and when he entered, he smelled a strong smell of medicine, and Gu Qingcheng followed behind.

There was a woman sitting by the door who was napping, and when she heard a sound at the door, she raised her head and looked: "Are you here to see a doctor?" The doctor is not here at this point, so let's come back tomorrow. ”

"No, I'm here for my grandmother."

After Yang Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he heard a voice from inside the ward: "Dawn? ”

"Grandma!"

Yang Xiaoxiao ran over directly and lifted the curtain.

There were three people in this ward, and in addition to the grandmother, there was also a middle-aged woman holding a small child, who looked a little weak and was sobbing all the time.

Yang Xiaoxiao retracted her gaze and pounced directly on her grandmother, "Grandma, how are you?" ”

"I'm fine, why are you here, it's not that you called yesterday and said it's okay, you came here in the middle of the night."

Yang Xiaoxiao grabbed her grandmother's thin hand, "It was my aunt who called me and said that you were hospitalized, didn't you say that you were in the hospital?" How did you get into this little clinic? ”

"People are old, where can they not have a little pain or anything, they used to come to the clinic to prescribe some medicine and infusion when they were sick, they are all minor diseases, don't worry."

"How can I not be worried, grandma, you know that I am about to die of fear when I receive a call from my aunt." She glanced up at the hanging bottle, which was already half lost, "Tomorrow I will take you to the county hospital for a full body examination." ”

The middle-aged woman next to her said: "Aunt Yang, you see that you have such a granddaughter, it's really a blessing, I raised a daughter and my son has become a white-eyed wolf, so I left a drag oil bottle...... Yes, the medicinal properties are estimated, and it's time to inject ice cream. ”

So saying, the woman took the child in her arms and walked outside.

Yang Xiaoxiao and her grandmother talked inside for a while, Gu Qingcheng didn't go in, sat down on the chair in the clinic, and pressed his eyebrows with two fingers.

The nurse in the clinic prepared the fever-reducing injection, and when the woman inside came out with the child in her arms, she went to another room, stripped the child's pants, and then rubbed it with alcohol.

Gu Qingcheng sat on the public seat facing the ward, and when he raised his eyes, he could see two cyan birthmarks on the child's delicate buttocks, followed by a cry.

Gu Qingcheng couldn't help frowning. On the Jin Circumference.

"Don't cry, you can get an injection to get rid of the fever."

The woman put on the child's pants and held her, and when the phone rang, she freed up one hand to answer the call.

"The fever has subsided, I just brought him to get a fever injection, the ice cream is growing now, you come back on time with some money...... I know, don't talk so much, wait a minute, you won't hear ......"

The child's cry was really deafening, and there was a buzzing sound in the woman's ears, so she came out with the child in her arms, and when she saw Gu Qingcheng sitting on the seat, she said, "This gentleman, please help me take care of the child, I can't hear the phone here." ”

Before Gu Qingcheng could answer, the woman had already put the child on Gu Qingcheng's lap, and walked directly to the outside of the glass door of the clinic to answer the phone.

Children are about two years old, and it is not common for children of this age to appear white and tender, not fat, and very light. My face was full of tears, and I had been crying for a long time, and there were red marks on my forehead, like a rash of allergies, and I was red, but it was smooth to the touch.

Gu Qingcheng held the child's back with one hand, clasped his shoulder with one hand, the mood became more and more irritated by the crying, the arms were separated by a distance, and the child turned to stare at Gu Qingcheng with teary eyes.

"Mom...... Woowoo woo ......"

Yang Xiaoxiao, who was in the ward, opened the curtain and came out, and saw Gu Qingcheng still holding a child in his arms, he was slightly stunned, turned his head and said to his grandmother, and walked out.

"What are you doing with ice cream? What about Aunt Chen just now? ”

Gu Qingcheng directly carried the child and put it on Yang Xiaoxiao's lap, he couldn't care about the child at all, "Go out and call." ”

Yang Xiaoxiao has not been at home often in recent years, and I just heard that this is a family that moved over two years ago, and the child was originally in the countryside, and he has only taken it over now.

She has always had a sense of affection for children, she picked up the ice cream on her lap, raised her hand to wipe away the tears on his little face, "Don't cry, ice cream is a man, a man must be brave, after the injection, the illness will be cured, my sister will give the ice cream a sugar ......"

Fortunately, Yang Xiaoxiao had a rose-red fruit candy in his coat pocket, which was placed in the child's hand, and the ice cream choked twice to stop crying.

Yang Xiaoxiao smiled proudly at Gu Qingcheng on the side: "Look, don't cry, in fact, children are meant to be coaxed." ”

Gu Qingcheng looked at the look in Yang Xiaoxiao's eyes, and hooked the corners of his mouth upward: "It's not my child, why should I coax?" ”

Yang Xiaoxiao didn't hear it, put the ice cream back on his lap and sat down, shaking his knees while patting his back.

"Gu Qingcheng, I especially like children, because I don't have parents, so I think children are blood relatives. For as long as I can remember, I have always been with my grandmother, and after my mother gave birth to me, she sent her to her and then disappeared without a trace, until now. ”

Gu Qingcheng leaned back in his chair and listened quietly.

In fact, Gu Qingcheng is not a very good listener, because he will not nod your head at the right time to indicate that he is listening, and he is silent from beginning to end, so that the confidant will occasionally wonder if he has fallen asleep.

"But it doesn't matter, because I've never been, so I won't compare," Yang Xiaoxiao smiled, "In the past, when I was a child, other children came to bully me for being a child without parents, and once they united to lie to me, saying that it was hide and seek, and as a result, they left me alone in a garbage dump far away, and then they still found me back during the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

At that time, I was only about six years old, and at night, I felt chills all over my body when I heard the cold wind, but fortunately I heard a familiar voice from a distance, and a bright lamp flashed in the dark alley.

"Dawn!"

That empty and dark square, in front of which is the Dragon Boat Festival with a flashlight, and behind is the running and panting forest.

At this moment, that lamp really lit up in Yang Xiaoxiao's heart, illuminating all the darkness.

"Who is the Dragon Boat Festival?"

Gu Qingcheng finally spoke, making Yang Xiaoxiao suddenly realize that in addition to the child holding on his lap, there was also an adult sitting beside him.

She turned around and said, "I'm a little hair, the son of a beggar uncle." ”

Yang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, "Later, when I was thirteen years old, he and his beggar uncle disappeared, and later ...... Their bodies were found on the side of the mass grave. ”

When Yang Xiaoxiao said this, his eyes were blood-red, and his shoulders trembled a little.

Gu Qingcheng noticed Yang Xiaoxiao's slightly trembling shoulders, and reached out to hold her hand, only to feel that the palm of his hand was cold, and there was a faint cold sweat.

About ten years ago, during the summer vacation of that summer, Yang Xiaoxiao happened to come back from the Yang family to see his grandmother, heard the news, and ran all the way to the mass grave with Lin Zidu, and happened to see the forensic doctor identifying.

Both of them were beaten to death, not to mention the external injuries on their bodies, they were hit on the head, ankles and abdomen with blunt objects, injuring the internal organs in the abdomen, and the fatal wounds of the beggar uncle were in the back of the head, the skull had been cracked, the eyes were bulging outward, and the death was very horrific.

The corpses have been dumped in the mass grave for more than a month, and the wounds on the bodies of the two people, one large and one small, are all rotting and pus, and maggots are raging, and even the faces cannot be seen clearly, only an outline remains.

Yang Xiaoxiao didn't believe it, she had to go up to take a look at the corpse under the white cloth, Lin Zi was more scared than Yang Xiaoxiao, pulled Yang Xiaoxiao's arm, and was pulled forward by her to take a look, and then Yang Xiaoxiao turned around and vomited.

It's really retching out.

Along with the stomach acid, there were tears that fell from her fluttering.

Then for three days in a row, Yang Xiaoxiao didn't say a word, and he refused to believe it, Uncle Beggar and the good-looking boy had left this world forever, and they didn't even say the last word, and they would never be seen again.

Gu Qingcheng held Yang Xiaoxiao's hand with his backhand, his wide and warm palm wrapped around her hand, frowning slightly, "What happened later?" ”

"The police have been called, and the investigation in the police station will not be completed, after all, it has been a long time."

For a while, the clinic was quiet.

Ice cream opened her dark eyes, raised her eyes to look at Gu Qingcheng, who was frowning in front of her, and bit the candy paper in her hand.

………………

Because he suddenly remembered the Dragon Boat Festival, when it was almost dawn, after his grandmother's infusion was over, Yang Xiaoxiao sent his grandmother home and walked to the cemetery not far away.

Gu Qingcheng followed behind the side, helping to carry a bag of Yang Xiaoxiao's grandmother in his hand, looking elegant and gentle and polite, and Yang Xiaoxiao was supporting her grandmother in front.

Old Mrs. Yang looked Gu Qingcheng up and down, her eyes narrowed into a line with a smile, and asked Yang Xiaoxiao in a private whisper: "Is this a boyfriend?" ”

Yang Xiaoxiao shook his head: "No, it's the boss in the company." ”

"Would the boss be so kind? Accompanied you back from City C at night, still waiting for me in a small clinic such an old woman? ”

Mrs. Yang suddenly thought of what she had heard in the rumors, "I heard that you were engaged before, is it him?" I think it's pretty good. ”

Grandma should have heard the news of the engagement before, but no one should know what the truth is.

I sent my grandmother upstairs, poured water and medicine for my grandmother, and then went downstairs again.

Approaching dawn, although he didn't sleep all night, Yang Xiaoxiao's cerebral cortex cells were jumping quite excitedly at this moment, and he walked out of the gloomy staircase, and saw the dawn of the sky gradually spreading on the ground, and Gu Qingcheng was standing on the edge of spreading the light, and the sides of his body were cut apart by the skylight, one side was bright and the other was dark.

Gu Qingcheng originally squinted his eyes slightly, but when he heard a slight footstep, he opened his eyes and saw Yang Xiaoxiao walking cautiously.

Yang Xiaoxiao really wanted to scare Gu Qingcheng, but Gu Qingcheng opened his eyes so violently, not to scare him, but to scare her in turn.

Gu Qingcheng chuckled, "Let's go." ”

The cemetery of the Dragon Boat Festival and the beggar uncle is not far from this side of the compound, after two streets and a construction site, you will arrive.

After all, talking about a cemetery is a little better than a mass grave.

Cemeteries can only be afforded by the rich, and the poor, even the lower class who don't even have names, are buried here.

In the graveyard is a small wooden plaque with names and dates of birth and death written on them.

However, on the wooden plaques on the side of the Dragon Boat Festival and the beggar uncle, there is no date of birth and death except for the name.

Because no one knows.

Yang Xiaoxiao picked two wildflowers on the side of the road, came over and placed them in front of the wooden sign, and then bowed deeply.

Maintaining a bowing posture, it took a long time to straighten up again, and tears dripped from the corners of his eyes into the ground.

She knew Uncle Beggar and Dragon Boat Festival, both of which originated from the hot steamed buns in the cold winter, saving two people from hunger and cold, one big and one small. Because her hands were frozen during the Dragon Boat Festival in winter, she saved her money for two days, saved it dime, and went to the pharmacy to buy a box of chilblain cream for the Dragon Boat Festival.

She still remembers that when she applied chilblains on her hands to the Dragon Boat Festival, the dimples appeared on the face of the Dragon Boat Festival with a smile: "Dawn, you are good to me, I will never forget it." ”

But now, even if you don't forget it, it has been scattered across the world.

Gu Qingcheng took two steps back and stood in front of the grave, because after passing through a dusty section of the road just now, a layer of floating ash was left on the brand-new leather shoes that were originally shopping.

The air quality wasn't too good, with the smell of dust and the smell of smoke left behind by burning wheat straw at night.

A puff of black smoke came out of the factory in the distance, and the sun burst out from that black smoke, and the golden light passed through the barrier of layers of black smoke and sprinkled on the soft face of the girl in front of him, Gu Qingcheng felt that his heart moved slightly.

This time, it's my own heartbeat.

………………

When I went back from the cemetery, I passed by the vegetable market, just to go grocery shopping, and went back at noon to cook a good meal for my grandmother.

Yang Xiaoxiao followed Gu Qingcheng's side, watching Gu Qingcheng's slender fingers pick vegetables, looking from behind, there was really a feeling of not eating fireworks in the world, always feeling that a person like Gu Qingcheng could strategize in a large company, or put on the camouflage of special forces to charge into battle, and it was definitely not supposed to be picking potatoes in the vegetable market at this moment.

When I came back from the vegetable market, I opened my house, but there was no one inside.

Yang Xiaoxiao asked Grandma Wang, who was basking in the sun in the yard, "Mrs. Yang, go out for a walk!" ”

Yang Xiaoxiao invited Gu Qingcheng to the house, found tea from the cabinet, and originally wanted to make a cup of tea for Gu Qingcheng, but when he smelled it, there was a wet and musty smell, so he simply cut a thin slice of soaked water from the lemon noodles he had just bought to make vegetable juice.

"The water quality here is not quite the same as that in City C, I am afraid that you will not be used to drinking it, so I made you a slice of lemon."

Yang Xiaoxiao put down the water glass and went back to the kitchen to wash the vegetables.

Gu Qingcheng took a sip of water, in addition to the unfamiliar smell of water quality, there was also the sour smell of lemon that was about to lose his teeth, so he simply put down the water cup.

The house is not big, it belongs to the kind of old house in the seventies and eighties of the last century, two bedrooms and one living room, Gu Qingcheng got up, looked around, and saw a piece of drawing paper pasted on the door of a room, the paper was already yellowed, and the color of the colored pens on it was also very old, with a rainbow painted on it, and four very childish words were written, as if it was piled with a matchstick - "my little home".

Just as he was about to push the door in, he heard a noise outside.

Gu Qingcheng frowned, turned around and walked out.

………………

was cleaning vegetables in the small kitchen, Yang Xiaoxiao suddenly heard a voice behind him, turned around, and unexpectedly saw his aunt, the corners of her lips, which were still upturned, suddenly drooped.

My aunt came over and said, "Dawn, when are you coming back?" You called last night and my aunt didn't hear me. ”

Yang Xiaoxiao had extreme anger on her face, and the water pipe behind her was squeezing, "Grandma is obviously fine, why are you lying to me?" Said that grandma was hospitalized and was rescued! ”

Aunt smiled embarrassedly, took a step forward, helped Yang Xiaoxiao close the water pipe, and pulled her aside, "You shouldn't come back to take a look, I just made an excuse to call you back." ”

Yang Xiaoxiao lowered her head and wiped her hands with her apron, but did not answer.

"How much money do you have with you when you come back this time?" My aunt smiled, "My aunt knows that you have money in a big city, can you come and help my aunt first, my aunt is in urgent need of money here." ”

Yang Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and looked at her aunt, "This is the real purpose of you calling me back, right?" For money again? You sold me to see my grandmother, but what happened? My grandmother didn't go to a big hospital for a check-up at all! ”

"Be quiet! Why am I your aunt too! ”

"Dawn."

A deep and magnetic voice came from the door, Gu Qingcheng came out of the shadows, his cold gaze swept over Yang Xiaoxiao's aunt, and fell on Yang Xiaoxiao's face: "You come with me." ”

Yang Xiaoxiao used her arm to block her aunt on the side, and followed Gu Qingcheng back into the house.

My aunt recalled the glance that Gu Qingcheng looked at her just now, her back was a little cold, and she said a few words to Aunt Wang, a neighbor who was watching the excitement, and simply shook her hand and left.

Yang Xiaoxiao bowed his head to listen behind the door, and heard the footsteps outside the corridor gradually disappearing, so he straightened up and exhaled a long breath, "Fortunately, you came to call me, otherwise I would definitely be pestered by my aunt for at least half an hour, just like kraft candy, I can't get rid of it." ”

This time, Yang Xiaoxiao was cooking in the small kitchen in front, and Gu Qingcheng followed behind.

Yang Xiaoxiao's method of cutting vegetables was not proficient in the first place, the green pepper was shredded, the fingers were three centimeters away from the blade, and the posture was ugly, plus Gu Qingcheng was watching from behind, she felt even more nervous, and the hand holding the green pepper was a little shaky.

There was no sound behind him, Yang Xiaoxiao just wanted to look back, if Gu Qingcheng had already left, a broad chest was attached to his back, and then his fingers were already held from behind.

"Cut like this, the fingers of your left hand are bent together, so that the blade of the knife will not be cut even if it is very soon," Gu Qingcheng's warm breath was in his ear, and his other hand held Yang Xiaoxiao's hand holding the kitchen knife, "This hand holds the handle of the knife in turn, so that the cut will be smoother." ”

Gu Qingcheng said, already taking Yang Xiaoxiao's hand, his hand picked up the knife, and cut the green pepper into shreds in a few clicks.

Yang Xiaoxiao looked at the two piles of shredded green peppers cut on the cutting board, obviously Gu Qingcheng cut it thinner and better when he pressed her hand.

Gu Qingcheng held Yang Xiaoxiao's hand with one hand, and took the bamboo shoots over to slice them.

The warm breath was in his ears, and the vegetables that Yang Xiaoxiao had washed were quickly cut.

Anyway, Yang Xiaoxiao was also a decoration when he stood on the side of the board, so he simply got out of Gu Qingcheng's arms and handed over the work of chopping vegetables and tinkering with fish to him, and by the way, he also took off the apron on his body.

Gu Qingcheng held the fish in one hand and the kitchen knife in the other, and said, "Tie it for me." ”

Yang Xiaoxiao bypassed Gu Qingcheng's body and tied the apron around his waist.

This posture is too ambiguous, and there is still Gu Qingcheng's warm breathing above his head, and just when he can't even tie the knot, a voice "dawn" came from behind him, and as a result, the apron was directly tied with a dead knot.

"Grandma, you're back."

Mrs. Yang directly pulled Yang Xiaoxiao: "How can you let the guests cook, wait until I wash my hands to make ......"

Gu Qingcheng put the fish on the board and turned around, "Grandma, you wait in the house first, this side will be fine immediately." ”

Gu Qingcheng was wearing a white shirt with half-rolled sleeves, standing in the backlit kitchen, restraining the cold aura on his body, with a smile on his face, gentle and elegant and polite.

Yang Xiaoxiao helped her grandmother into the house, and her grandmother said, "You go and help Xiao Gu." ”

"No," Gu Qingcheng said, "Let dawn accompany you to talk, I'll be alone here." ”

Yang Xiaoxiao asked her grandmother to sit down, poured a glass of water for her grandmother, and thought to herself, didn't she cook by herself, how could she become Gu Qingcheng to cook.

However, the dishes made by Gu Qingcheng are indeed more beautiful than Yang Xiaoxiao's.

Old Lady Yang was relatively gentle and kind, and knew that Gu Qingcheng was Yang Xiaoxiao's boss, so she asked about her work.

"Dawn is down-to-earth and serious, and I get along well with my colleagues."

Yang Xiaoxiao heard Gu Qingcheng's more official evaluation, and she was almost grateful, don't say that she is not good at work, and her grandmother can't allow Yang Xiaoxiao to desert at work.

"But ......"

Yang Xiaoxiao: "......"

Afraid of what comes.

Gu Qingcheng said: "Sometimes being lazy doesn't affect work. ”

Just because of Gu Qingcheng's specious words, one afternoon, including after dinner, Yang Xiaoxiao was called to the room by his grandmother for an hour of ideological education, mainly around the children of poor families should be in charge early, must be conscientious, and don't be clever.

Yang Xiaoxiao only nodded his head from beginning to end, and kept "um" and "um".

However, even if I listen to my grandmother's nagging, I feel very, very happy in my heart.

Yang Xiaoxiao sneaked out of her grandmother's room, glanced around the living room, there was no Gu Qingcheng's figure, but the light in her small room was on, and the door was open, so she pushed the door open and saw Gu Qingcheng sitting on the edge of her bed, holding a photo frame in one hand.

She walked in softly and asked, "When are you leaving?" ”

Gu Qingcheng's gaze swept over the photo in the frame, turned around and asked, "Who said I was leaving?" ”

Yang Xiaoxiao: "......"

"But where are you going to live if you don't leave?"

Gu Qingcheng put the photo frame on the table, turned over and fell on Yang Xiaoxiao's bed, and put his hands on his chest, "Here." ”
