Chapter 13: Broken Appointment.

After Xiaoxue left the Wang family, she secretly jumped back to her room from the window. Then I looked at the time on the wall.

Gu Xinxue: "Fortunately, Dad hasn't gone to work yet, so he shouldn't have looked for me yet." ”

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Xinxue: "Dad, you're going to work." ”

Gu's father: "Well, you can also prepare, your mother sent a message saying that she would come to pick you up at 12 o'clock." ”

Gu Xinxue looked at the time and said with a smile, "Okay, Dad, I know." ”

Gu's father: "When you go to your mother's side, remember what you should say, say it, don't say what you shouldn't say, you know?" When you grow so big, you should be able to distinguish right from wrong. ”

Xiaoxue nodded, didn't say anything more, and then Gu's father went to work.

Time passed minute by minute, Xiaoxue sat in the room and was uneasy, and hour after hour passed...

Gu Xinxue: "Mom came over at 12 o'clock, will she stay for lunch?" Then should I buy some food and come back? ”

Xiaoxue was just about to leave, but stopped again.

Gu Xinxue: "No, no, my mother shouldn't stay for lunch, this point, come to pick me up for dinner." It's already 11 o'clock, and there's still an hour to see my mom again, which is great. ”

Xiaoxue looked at a large pile of luggage in the distance, smiled happily over there, and sat quietly at the window, waiting for his mother's arrival.

Gu Xinxue: "It's 12 o'clock, mom should be coming soon." ”

Xiaoxue walked out of the room

Grandma Gu: "It's noon, your mother should be coming soon." ”

Gu Xinxue: "Yes, grandma, so I want to go and see, when the time comes, if my mother has something, I will help him get it." ”

Grandma Gu: "Well, that's fine, then you can go, by the way, don't talk to passers-by on the road, you know?" ”

Gu Xinxue: "Got it." ”

Xiaoxue came to the bridge in front of his house and waited quietly, blowing the sea breeze.

Xiaoxue looked inside the building opposite: "It seems that he has left, and the clothes on the balcony have been taken away." I don't know when my mother will come. ”

The wait was tormenting, and Xiaoxue walked from noon to the afternoon, but there was no news... Until a phone call three hours later...

Grandma Gu: "Xiaoxue, your mother is calling." ”

Xiaoxue stood up excitedly, touched her already limp legs, knocked, and then finished the phone.

Gu Xinxue: "Hey, Mom, I'm already on the bridge, where are you?" Do you want me to come down and get something? It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, the intersection is a bit blocked, so don't worry, I'll come right away. ”

Gu's mother: "Hey, Xiaoxue, I'm sorry, my mother received a temporary notice today, I'm afraid I can't come to pick you up." But I've already bought the things for you, and I've asked an aunt to help you send them over, you eat first, and your mother will pick you up in a few days, and I'll come back slowly when I'm busy, okay? ”

After Xiaoxue heard this, there was no expression on her face in an instant, her hands kept shaking over there, and there were suddenly no words at that moment.

Gu's mother: "Hey, Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, are you listening?" Mom got the assignment when she came, so I can't pick you up, I'm sorry. Anyway, the summer vacation is still long, so it will be the same in a few days, okay? In the next few days, you will do your summer vacation homework, and then your mother will pick you up in a few days, can we have a good time? ”

After Xiaoxue heard this, she smiled and said: "Oh, well, it's okay, mom is fine, anyway, I still have some homework to do, so you can be busy, and you don't have to send things over, mom, you eat more, work is so busy, and it's not good to trouble others, and summer is coming, mom, don't work too hard, don't get heat stroke when the time comes." ”

Gu's mother smiled and said: "Okay, I know, Xiaoxue is still the most sensible, but the things still have to be sent, after all, they have already been bought, and my mother usually doesn't like to eat these sweets, so let's do it first, my mother will have to open an order later, so it's like this, bye." ”

And just like that, the call ended.

Grandma Gu: "What, your mother said that she couldn't come to pick you up, so in this case, you should stay at home in the afternoon to look at the house, I have to play cards in the afternoon, and your grandfather will go to the supermarket, so you should go home quickly, don't stand outside for too long, I will leave later." ”

Gu Xinxue: "Ah, oh, you know, grandma, I'll go back later." ”

Grandma Gu: "Okay." And your mother said, somebody wants to send something, right? Then you must listen to the voice, listen to the sound before opening the door, don't open the door to strangers, you know? ”

Xiao Xue nodded, and when his grandmother left, Xiao Xue had tears in the corners of his eyes, but he didn't stay, he looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "The sky there should be the same as here, or more beautiful and expansive than here." In fact, what I want is not something at all.,Why don't I even have the simplest of me?。。 ”

He stood on the bridge for another half an hour, and then returned home. It was the most boring and difficult day for him, he didn't even know what to do next, sitting alone on the desk in a daze. Usually every holiday, he just does the homework desperately, does it over and over again, or secretly runs to find Mo Yan to play, but now there is no more, and the people who play with him are not in the mood to do their homework.

Gu Xinxue: "Why hasn't he come back yet?" Didn't you say go to the supermarket? Did you go to the library again? ”

After a few more hours, there was a knock on the door, and she hurried downstairs.

Gu Xinxue: "Who?" ”

"It's me, I'm your mother's good friend, you're Gu Xinxue, your mother asked me to bring you something to eat."

Xiaoxue looked through the crack in the door and saw that it was indeed a lady outside the door, holding several large bags of food in her hand, he sighed helplessly, and then opened the door.

Gu Xinxue: "Hello Auntie, I'm Xiaoxue." ”

"Well, hello, little friend, I'm your mother's colleague, you can just call me Aunt Chen, this is your mother stole some snacks I brought you, and beautiful clothes, by the way, and this is some small gifts he brought to your classmates, it's a holiday now, you can ask your classmates to come out and play together."

Xiaoxue looked at the gifts, smiled lightly, and nodded.

Gu Xinxue: "Aunt Chen, thank you, thank you for your hard work." ”

Aunt Chen: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll put that thing here, the store is busy, so your mother can't come over, you eat these things for a while, and when you're done, your mother will almost be able to come and pick you up." ”

Xiaoxue nodded, and after a while, that Aunt Chen left. Xiaoxue looked at so much food and asked herself, "Will you really come?" ”
