Chapter 35 Passing Away, Returning Home
Recently, there has been a lot of personnel consumption, and Qiuhua is planning to go home to change his mood. It happened to happen that one weekend, he simply packed up and went out of the school gate to wait for the shuttle home.
There is a towering plane tree not far from waiting for the bus, which was specially preserved when the road was built more than ten years ago in Guangmo City.
According to Tian Jingru, there used to be a village here because the big plane tree was named Wutong Village. She didn't know exactly how long the tree had existed, only that it had been around since she was born.
When she was a child, Tian Jingru's characters were soft, so her parents wrote her name on a red cloth and tied it to the trunk of a tree to avoid some disasters. Tian Jingru has a deep affection for this old tree, and so do many people in the vicinity, who believe that if the tree is there, those deceased family members will not get lost.
Unfortunately, when the road was renovated a few years ago, part of the foundation of the tree was damaged, and in recent years, the scene of the tree full of flowers has been lost.
When Qiuhua was waiting for the car, he saw a familiar back not far away, and he was about to go up to say hello, but a tall boy came next to him and handed her a bottle of water. The girl seemed to see Qiuhua and was about to say something, but Qiuhua didn't look at her, and when she got on the bus, the girl secretly clenched a large stack of papers in her hand.
In the car, the young man looked out the window melancholy, the plane tree, which was getting farther and farther away from the autumn flowers, farther and farther away...
"Mom, I'm back." As soon as Qiuhua entered the door, she saw that her mother was cleaning up the tabletop, with large bags of gifts on the ground, beautifully packaged and luxurious, and the tea on the table was still steaming, it seemed that someone had just come.
When Zhang Lan saw her son coming back, she was first overjoyed, and then said, "Andy, why are you back?" Hungry or not? ”
Qiuhua shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, Mom, who came just now?" Zhang Lan said while cleaning up: "Oh, it was your Aunt Zhang Mei who came just now, and there is an editor-in-chief surnamed Qian." Said he wanted to sign a contract with you or something. Qiu Hua was puzzled: "You agreed?"
"No, I don't think the editor-in-chief looks like a good person, so I said that when you come back, let him say it to his face. No, as soon as they walk on the front foot, you arrive on the back foot. The mother hurriedly denied.
Qiu Hua remembered that he had just suspected that he was the strange voice last time, but this time he came to the door to give gifts, Qiu Hua didn't feel very strange, could it be that the person who had been waiting for an opportunity to move was not him?
Tonight, Zhang Lan boiled another pot of chicken soup. Her son is tired of studying, and she knows it. At the dinner table, she desperately tried her best to pick up vegetables for Qiuhua, for fear that he would be hungry, and soon Qiuhua's bowl was piled up with a small mountain bag.
Qiuhua looked at everything her mother did, and couldn't help but feel very guilty, she often accompanied Huang Jingqiu these days, her grades dropped a lot, and after dinner, Qiuhua locked herself in her room and reviewed what she had learned this week.
When it was close to eight o'clock, the door suddenly opened outside, Qiu Hua hurriedly walked out of the door to check, and as soon as he went out, he saw his mother chatting with Qiu Longcheng.
"Little Town, why are you here? Hungry or not? My aunt will give you a hot meal. Qiu Longcheng nodded, saw Qiu Hua again, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I haven't eaten my aunt's food for a long time, eh, Xiaohua, you're back, come here, let's have a good chat."
Zhang Lan saw that she couldn't interject the topic, so she had to say, "Okay, you two have a good chat, I'll go and heat up the meal."
"Brother Long, how are you doing these days? Is the work going well? Qiuhua opened the conversation on the grounds of the recent situation.
"Oh, the new colleagues are quite easy to get along with, I work near your school, you can come to me if you have something." After Qiu Longcheng finished speaking, he patted Qiu Hua's shoulder, and Qiu Hua nodded.
After a while, Zhang Lan came out with the food, although it was not a delicacy, the overflowing fragrance still made people can't help but move their appetites. Qiu Longcheng took the rice and began to feast on it.
After eating for a while, Qiu Long City suddenly stopped and said to Qiu Hua: "Xiao Hua, the nearest Guangmo City is not peaceful, you live in the school, try to go out less at night, you know?" Qiuhua was puzzled: "Brother Long, has something happened this time?"
Qiu Longcheng glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, you are not in danger, Brother Long will let you go out as little as possible and study hard, you know?" Qiuhua nodded, "oh". Qiu Longcheng saw his reaction, and didn't say anything anymore, bowed his head and continued his "sweeping" cause, the food on the table tonight was destined to be unsparing.
After sending off Qiulong City, Qiuhua returned to his room to study. He's solving a difficult math problem, and he's almost going to solve it.
Suddenly, a text message sound came from the phone. Qiu Hua subconsciously looked to the side, and saw that the letter was from Jingru, so she immediately lit up the mobile phone screen.
It reads: "Qiuhua, come to my house at noon tomorrow, I have something to tell you." The content of the text message was not much, but it set off a storm in Qiuhua's heart.
He wanted to call her at this time, but he felt that she was too indifferent to him for a while, so he decided to punish her, and in the end, a thousand words were uttered, and only one "Oh." ”
Qiuhua was lying on the bed, there was a light rain rustling outside the house, it was a night of wandering thoughts. Qiuhua looked at the sky outside the house, and there was a bright star on a rainy night, emitting dazzling starlight.
At this moment, under the dome, there was another person, quietly staring at the moonlight blocked by this dark cloud, for a long time, she sighed softly, tonight's moonlight did not seem to be very beautiful.
When they came in the morning, Qiuhua immediately washed her hair, changed into clean clothes and went out. bored in the car, he began to look for helpers on the Internet, what "what to do if you make the girl you like angry?" "What should I do if my girlfriend is unhappy?" and so on, he opened them one by one and got a general idea.
Some of the answers made him blush, and he immediately closed the search engine and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.
The car arrived soon, and Qiuhua imagined thousands of scenarios in her mind like the last time before she cautiously walked to Tian Jingru's house. After knocking on the door a few times, Tian Jingru came out and invited Qiuhua in.
Qiuhua sat down, her heart was galloping, but on the surface, she asked very plainly, "Is there something wrong?" Tian Jingru looked at her reaction, and finally affirmed it in her heart, and said, You wait for me, turned around and entered the room.
When she came out again, there was an extra wad of money in her hand, she put the money on the table, paused and said: "Qiuhua, thank you very much for taking care of you, I owe you this money, and now, we have cleared it both." Qiuhua imagined thousands of scenarios, but never thought of this one.
Qiu Hua then remembered that she was so tired for a while, just to pay off her money for a part-time job, and cut off contact with herself as soon as possible. For a while, Qiuhua stayed in place, at a loss, all the words in her heart instantly became blank, and only a roar came from her head.
