As soon as the car stopped in the parking lot of the community, Ruan Yu hurriedly opened the car door and rushed out, holding on to the tree planted next to the road and retching for a while before relieving himself.

She had motion sickness, and it was quite serious, and after nearly four hours of driving from her hometown to City A, she vomited twice in the service area, and she was uncomfortable all the way, and there was nothing in her stomach for a long time, otherwise she would not have just retched at this time.

Her dad parked the car and came over to take a look, took a bottle of water and handed it to her, and asked, "Are you better?" Still uncomfortable? ”

Ruan Yu straightened up, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and barely took a sip, she didn't speak, the weather was hot in summer, she was uncomfortable at this time, sweating profusely, making her body sticky and uncomfortable, she just wanted to get home quickly and lie on the bed to blow the air conditioner. When her dad took out her luggage in the trunk, Ruan Yu went over and carried a bag herself, and then followed her dad to the house.

This home is on the sixteenth floor, Ruan Yu has been here a few times during the summer vacation before, and she has to take the elevator every time, but she is not very used to the feeling of weightlessness, and she can always smell a bad smell of gasoline.

Fortunately, the elevator was very fast, and when he arrived at home, the smell of gasoline in his nose was covered by the smell of food from the kitchen, Ruan Yu sniffled, feeling that his stomach, which had been pantothenic, was finally better. Looking into the living room again, the TV is playing cartoons, which is "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" that she likes to watch very much, but at this time she has not recovered from motion sickness, and she just wants to find a bed to lie down.

Ruan Yu changed her shoes and took her luggage into the room with her father. She and her sister Ruan Yue lived in a room, and the bed was the kind of bunk bed with bunk beds, Ruan Yu was on top, Ruan Yue slept below, but Ruan Yue was not there at this time, it was estimated that she was going to make up for class, Ruan Yu cleaned up a few times casually, she was very dizzy, and she went to Ruan Yue's bed.

She didn't sleep long before she was woken up by her mother.

Dinner was ready, Ruan's mother came to ask her to eat, but touched Ruan Yu's hair, frowned again, and said, "Why is your hair oily like this?" Haven't washed in a few days? ”

"I just washed it yesterday." Ruan Yu's hair is short and easy to get oily, and the wind has been blowing for a long time in the car today, and I don't know how much ash has fallen, looking greasy and greasy, as if I haven't washed it for a few days.

"Take a shower at night and wash your hair." Ruan's mother went out after speaking.

Ruan Yu sat on the bed and stared at it for a while before getting out of bed to eat.

Coming from her hometown today, Grandma Ruan Yu specially packed a big bag of steamed buns for Ruan's father to bring, all of which were steamed by Grandma Ruan herself, she has steamed steamed buns for decades, and her craftsmanship is naturally speechless, and every time Ruan's father goes back, he will bring a lot of them.

Ruan Yu is also from a snack to a big one, except for her grandmother's steamed buns, she is not used to eating anything else, that is, Ruan's mother is spicy, and the fried dishes are also spicy, and Ruan Yu's taste follows the grandparents in her hometown, the old man's taste is light, and she can't stick to the slightest spicy, and Ruan Yu is too, so after eating a meal, her lips are spicy and swollen.

After rinsing several sips of cold water, the hot feeling in his mouth barely subsided, Ruan Yu went to the refrigerator and took a bottle of cold Coke and put it on his lips to cool down.

Her mother was brushing the dishes in the kitchen, and Ruan Yu said casually: "Mom, can you stop cooking so spicy next time?" I can't even taste anything other than spicy. ”

"If you don't want to eat, don't eat." Ruan's mother said in a loud voice in the kitchen.

Ruan Yu suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore, and turned to the TV with a Coke, where the news broadcast was playing, and her father watched it every night.

"Ruan Yu, help me get a bottle of Coke." Ruan Kangming suddenly called her.

"Oh, good." Ruan Yu stood next to the refrigerator and took another bottle with his hand.

Ruan's father patted Ruan Kangming on the back of the head and said, "She's your sister, don't you know what your sister is?" ”

Ruan Kangming pouted and didn't speak, and when Ruan Yu handed him the Coke, he continued to play the game on the sofa.

In fact, he is not very familiar with Ruan Yu, Ruan Yu has hardly lived with her parents for long, she was sent back to her hometown in the countryside not long after she was born, and she has grown up with her grandparents until now. Ruan Kangming has been growing up since he was a child, except for returning to his hometown for the New Year, only Ruan Yu came here during the summer vacation, and the Chinese New Year lasted for more than ten days, and the summer vacation was longer, about two months, but there was no contact at all at other times.

Ruan Kangming knew that he still had a second sister, but he hadn't gotten along day and night, he felt like an ordinary relative, and Ruan Yu felt the same way about him, so he didn't feel anything bad about being called by Ruan Kangming, if she was too close, she wouldn't be used to it.

After the news broadcast was over, Ruan Yue came back from outside, threw her schoolbag on the sofa as soon as she entered the door, changed her shoes and walked towards her room.

Ruan's mother poked her head out of the kitchen and asked her, "Have you eaten?" ”

"I ate out with my classmates."

Ruan Yue is two years older than Ruan Yu, she is already in junior high school this year, she has to tutor mathematics in the summer, and sometimes she will come back after eating out with her classmates directly after class, so Ruan's mother didn't leave her food.

The weather forecast was playing on TV, Ruan Yu felt that it was a bit early to take a shower at this time, so she followed her father to watch "Focus Interview", and after taking a shower, she watched another episode of the Anti-Japanese War drama, and felt that her hair was almost dry, so she went back to her room to sleep.

The next day, Ruan Yu slept until more than nine o'clock before getting up, she had diarrhea in the middle of the night yesterday, and she didn't rest well, and she was still a little empty, and when she opened the door, there was no one at home.

Her parents both have jobs, and Ruan Yue has tutoring, so it's normal that there is no one at home. After Ruan Yu washed her face and brushed her teeth, she went to the kitchen to find the leftovers from the morning, and found the note and money left by Ruan's mother on the living room table, saying that she wanted to buy her own food at noon.

Ruan Yu went to Ruan Kangming's house again, and he was not there, so he probably went to a cram school like her sister.

There was only one person at home, and no one cared about it now, Ruan Yu immediately went to the study to turn on the computer to watch cartoons, and saw that she was hungry at noon, so she changed her clothes and went out.

The neighbor's aunt next door happened to open the door and came out, still carrying a garbage bag in her hand, it seemed that she was going out to throw out the garbage, and she was stunned when she saw Ruan Yu.

Then he said enthusiastically: "You are Liyun's second daughter, right?" I haven't seen it before, I'm your Aunt Chen, it's time to eat, where are you going? ”

Ruan Yu was not very comfortable being treated so warmly, so she held the money in her hand and whispered, "I'll go buy food." ”

"Buying food? Your parents aren't there? Aunt Chen came over and said, "The food outside is not clean, or you come to my house to eat, Auntie has a son as old as you at home, it just so happens that his father is on a business trip these days, and we eat at home, and it is strange that it is deserted." ”

"No, no." Ruan Yu's head shook like a rattle, and she refused vigorously.

"What's this! Auntie's meal is ready. ”

"No, I'll just buy food."

Ruan Yu still firmly refused, not to mention that she didn't know this Aunt Chen at all, as far as her own temperament was boring, besides, going to someone else's house meant communicating, talking to strangers she didn't know, and going to a strange environment alone, she was afraid just thinking about it, it was better to be at home alone.

"Mom, what are you doing?" A boy walked out of the door, just like Aunt Chen said, the same age as Ruan Yu, wearing black jeans and a white T-shirt, tall and white-looking.

Ruan Yu is blind, and she doesn't know how to evaluate a person's appearance, she used to go to school in the countryside, and there are absolutely no boys around her like this, just look at it, so she thinks Aunt Chen's son should be quite handsome.

Look at herself again, wearing a pink dress that her grandmother bought in her hometown, and a big rabbit printed on her chest, compared with others, it is earthy and ugly. Ruan Yu instantly felt that her face was hot, as if she was being scrutinized, and she didn't dare to speak more, so she lowered her head and hurriedly said goodbye: "Auntie, I'll go first." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Yu ran towards the elevator, not daring to stay here longer, but she forgot that Aunt Chen also had to go down to throw out the garbage, and finally went down together.

Because of this, Ruan Yu didn't dare to go out for a few days, and when she saw Aunt Chen again, she came to ask Ruan's mother how to stew mutton soup, saying that it was mutton sent by relatives, and she planned to stew soup, but because her husband said that it was all mutton smell, she came to Ruan's mother for help.

The two women tinkered in the kitchen for a long time, Ruan Yu smelled the fragrance of mutton soup wafting in the air, and her mouth watered, and when the meal was approaching, she was already hungry.

"Ding Dong~" The doorbell rang suddenly.

Ruan Yu hurriedly opened the door, and it was Aunt Chen's son standing outside, who asked Ruan Yu, "Is my mother here?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Aunt Chen's voice from the kitchen, and he shouted, "Mom, when are you going back?" ”

"It's going to take a while!" Aunt Chen replied.

"It's Jiayue, come and sit down for a while, and the soup will be ready to simmer." Ruan's mother also said.

Ruan Yu hurriedly got out of the way and let Meng Jiayue in.

Meng Jiayue went to the living room to sit, cartoons were playing on TV, he glanced at it and asked Ruan Yu: "Do you like to watch cartoons?" ”

Ruan Yu nodded: "Yes." ”

Then neither of them spoke anymore, Ruan Yu continued to watch her cartoon, but there was another person sitting next to her, and she didn't dare to leave the person cold, so she sat there dryly, and suddenly remembered that the guest had to at least take a bottle to drink.

Pursing his mouth, Ruan Yu asked him carefully, "Do you want to drink Fanta?" ”

Meng Jiayue glanced at Ruan Yu, suddenly smiled, and said, "Okay! ”

Ruan Yu immediately got up and went to get Fanta, and after handing it to Meng Jiayue, she didn't know what to say, her mouth squirmed for a while and she didn't hold back a word.

It was Meng Jiayue who opened his mouth first: "What grade are you in?" ”

Ruan Yu replied: "It's the fifth grade at the beginning of school. ”

Meng Jiayue asked again, "Where do you go to school?" ”

"I used to be in my hometown, but my parents said that I would transfer to an experimental primary school during the summer vacation."

"Coincidentally, I'm also in the experimental elementary school, and I'm also in the fifth grade."

Ruan Yu smiled, and didn't know how to continue, she was not good at interacting with people, and she couldn't say a few words before she got stuck.

"We'll be classmates from now on."

"Hmm."

"My name is Meng Jiayue, what about you?"

"Ruan Yu."

"Which yu?"

"Elm of the Elm Tree."

"I thought it was Yu next to the word Wang."

"Originally, it was that Yu, but when I made a mistake when I got the hukou, I became the elm of the elm tree."

There was a sudden argument in the kitchen, and it turned out that Aunt Chen wanted to keep half of the mutton soup for a few children, but Ruan's mother refused vigorously, saying that there was not much in the first place, and if she kept half of it, they would have nothing to eat when they went back.

Meng Jiayue listened for a while, and suddenly asked Ruan Yu: "Do you like to drink mutton soup?" He saw that Ruan Yu had been looking at the kitchen, and the little appearance in his eyes was pitiful and funny, so he asked casually.

"Huh?" Ruan Yu was coldly recognized by him, his face turned red for a moment, and he couldn't say a word with his head down.

"Haha~" Meng Jiayue suddenly raised his hand and rubbed Ruan Yu's head, got up and went to the kitchen.

In the end, Aunt Chen left a bowl of mutton soup, and Ruan Yu drank a bowl before lunch, and she didn't feel any smell, so she felt that the soup was very rich and fragrant.

Ruan Yu's grandmother doesn't know how to cook, and she repeats all the same things, but if Ruan Yu cooks everything she wants, it's not delicious. Like mutton or something, the old people are used to saving it, Ruan Yu wants to eat meat, it is pork and chicken, and the stew soup will not be, basically make noodles, or eat steamed buns after frying, so Ruan Yu smells mutton soup today and is so greedy, it is really impossible to eat at home.

After drinking the soup, Ruan Yu went to wash her hands, and heard Ruan's mother calling her in the kitchen: "Xiaoyu, call and ask why your father hasn't come back yet." ”

"Okay."

The phone at home was at her parents' house, Ruan Yu went to make a call, and came back to tell Ruan's mother: "My dad said that he was about to arrive in the community." ”

Her mother nodded, and said, "Don't drink the mutton soup, keep it for your brother." ”

"Okay."

Ruan Yu nodded and went to the living room to continue watching cartoons.
