Chapter 213: Passing

Although there are three of us here, the only one who really knows how to build bricks and walls is the old man, and the little fox and I can only do chores on the side, such as moving bricks, or handing him the cement mortar that the old man has reconciled in a small plastic bucket.

When the old man saw the little fox moving twenty bricks at a time, he was very frightened, and the twenty bricks were stacked on top of each other, almost blocking the little fox's head.

"Girl, you can't work so hard, you're still young, you can't crush your body, otherwise you'll be left with the root of the disease in the future!" The old man hurriedly dropped the brick knife in his hand to build the wall, and took some of the bricks from the hands of the little fox.

"Song Zijie, you roll over to Lao Tzu!" When the old man put down the bricks he had taken from the raccoon, he roared loudly.

When I heard the old man's voice, I immediately ran over and thought something had happened.

"You see you've only moved a few bricks yourself? You let the little fox move so much, what do you think about it? What if you get tired of the raccoon! The old man said angrily.

"How can I let the little fox move so much, it's her own ......," I said with some inexplicability.

"Hey, the little fox is young and ignorant, and you're messing around, aren't you? Where have you read all these years, don't you know that gravity when you are young can cause great damage to your body? When you get old, you will definitely be sick! Especially when a raccoon dog is still growing! The old man said unrelentingly.

I'm really more wronged than Dou E, with Xiaoxi's current cultivation, even if I move all the thousands of bricks piled up there to the kitchen at once, I can do it without much effort, how can these twenty bricks be tired of her? So when I was moving the bricks, I didn't let the little fox take it easy, but I didn't expect to be noticed by the old man.

It's not enough to say, the old man has changed too quickly! Yesterday I was worried that the little fox came to our house with ulterior motives, but today I picked up this attitude and feelings!

"Well, I forgot to tell you that the little fox has a lot more strength than the average person! Those bricks really weren't much to her. I explained with a tearful face.

"! Little Fox is such a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, how strong can she have? You think Lao Tzu is three and a half years old, don't you? The old man almost jumped up and said.

"Uncle, you really misunderstood Brother Zijie, Brother Zijie is right, Xiaoxi's strength is indeed very great!" The fox said earnestly, as she lifted a bag of cement on the ground with one hand.

The old man was shocked all of a sudden, and he was almost not so frightened that he sat on the ground, you must know that this bag of cement is a hundred catties! Even the old man himself can't lift a hundred catties of things with one hand. And the little fox still has a relaxed look, giving people the feeling that this bag of cement seems to be empty.

"What, little fox, you can move bricks!"

Knowing that the old man couldn't bear it, I hurriedly broke away from the little raccoon, and then said to the old man: "See, I didn't mess around." ā€

"Where did you find such a little monster, how can such a well-behaved girl have so much strength?" The old man was still a little difficult to accept.

"Well, the little fox said that she has practiced since she was a child, so her strength is much greater than that of the average person. Now that I know that I have made a lot of money, I have found a bodyguard for my family, and it is a beautiful female bodyguard! I said nonsense.

After hearing that the little fox had practiced, the old man slightly accepted the fact that the little fox had so much strength.

"You kid is really out of shit luck, such a good thing actually happened to you! But you better let the little fox move a few bricks, I can see that I am panicked, and I can't stand it! The old man said smugly, and then he took off his workman's gloves and took out a cigarette from his pocket, as if to smoke a cigarette to calm his excitement.

"I see, if it's okay, I'll move the bricks."

After lighting the cigarette, the old man took a hard breath, and then slowly exhaled, and the smoke slowly came out from between his mouth and nose.

"Eh, by the way, do you think there's something wrong with this little fox here?" After taking another breath, the old man pointed to his head and whispered to me, and as he spoke, smoke drifted out of his mouth and nose along the old man's breath.

"Old man, what are you thinking about all day, what's wrong with the little fox?" I asked, frowning.

"No, didn't you say that the raccoon's parents were drowned in the flood in the summer? Why can't I see that the little fox is sad at all? ā€

Hearing the old man say this, I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good, it seemed to be exposed. Indeed, the little fox was happy on this day, and indeed did not look like a person who had gone through a family accident not long ago.

"Oh, I said you, don't you think it's normal for the little fox to wash his face with tears all day long, after all, it's been more than half a year since this happened, and some things are hidden in my heart!" I said differently.

"That's just as well! By the way, you have to guide the little fox well, don't let this matter leave any shadow in her heart! The old man said with a gentle flick of the ash on his cigarette.

Maybe it was the "experience" of the little fox that really made the old man deeply understand, so he felt pity. Or maybe the little fox is indeed well-behaved and sensible, so he is deeply liked by the old man. After a few days of getting along, the old man was full of praise for the little fox, although he had not yet reached the level of caring for her like his own children, but he had completely accepted her.

This is naturally the result that I really want to see, and I think that my mother and sister should be more accepting of the fox, which is the nature of women.

Seven or eight days passed, and the four walls of the kitchen were almost finished. After all, the kitchen is not very big, and on the fourth day, the old man finally found two peers to help, and the three of them built a brick wall at the same time, and the progress was naturally relatively fast.

Once the wall is laid, it's time to til. It's just that because the kitchen collapsed before, the tiles, purlins and rafters naturally can't be used, and all of them have to be replaced with new ones.

But the problem came suddenly, the purlins and rafters were fine, and they could be bought at the timber store, but the tiles were difficult to buy, because the Chinese New Year was approaching, and the kilns that burned the tiles had basically stopped.

In order to buy tiles, the old man, me and the little fox always have to go to a place to sell tiles every time we go to the market. In fact, there is nothing special about this place, but there is one place to pass, and that is Guo Ling'er's home.

Every time I pass by Guo Ling'er's door, my heart is very complicated, before I pass by, I have been thinking in my heart not to see her, because I may not be able to say a word after seeing her, then the atmosphere of the scene will definitely be very embarrassing.

But when I passed by her door, I couldn't help but look over there, hoping that Guo Ling'er's figure would appear in my sight.

After I passed, a wave of disappointment was brewing in my heart, and I had to comfort myself and say, it's okay not to see you, some things should be completely put down, and it's better to miss seeing each other. But the next time I passed by Guo Ling'er's door, my mood couldn't stop fluctuating.

Originally, I thought that I had let go of the bits and pieces between me and Guo Ling'er, but I didn't know until this time that I was just lying to myself, is it really that easy to let go? If I really let go, why do I still have expectations for her?

At the beginning, he said that lovers can be friends if they can't do it, but now I think it's really ridiculous, it seems that this sentence is just a step down for myself and each other at that time.

There are so few people who go from lovers to friends again, at least I don't see it! And when two people face each other again, will the words that have been said ring in their ears? What does it feel like when those vows, those promises, are remembered?

If Guo Linger and I meet at this time, then in what capacity will we meet? Friend? Or a stranger? Can we really sit down and chat like friends? I'm afraid it will just be a few innocuous greetings, and then we'll be completely strangers, not even ordinary friends! So why say goodbye?
