Seeing that Shen Jie took the initiative to accosting him, Xiao Yao suddenly felt overjoyed, and forgot to ask for a few minutes late to set up a shelf, and replied in seconds:

"I haven't eaten yet."

"I'm getting ready to eat."

"I've been brushing up on questions in the afternoon, so I didn't bother looking at my phone."

"What about you? What were you doing in the afternoon? ”

"Have you had dinner?"

After sending these five messages, I secretly regretted it in my heart.

What are you excited about, people send two, you send five.

The number of words is still more than the opposite.

Young people can't hold their breath, how can they become big in the future?

"Xiao Yao, I'll go back first," a cold girl's voice sounded: "My mother called me home for dinner." ”

Xiao Yao put down his phone and raised his head, and saw that Yu Luying was already standing at the door of the room, straightening her skirt.

The bag had been carried on her shoulder, and the sewing kit that had just been knocked to the floor had been put back on the handle of the sofa, and the lid had been closed.

"Ah, I'll send you." Xiao Yao hurriedly said.

The phone rang again.

"Don't send it, it's not a few steps." Yu Luying said lightly.

Xiao Yao followed her to the soap room, and watched her squat down, holding a snow-white sneaker in her hand. She held the cuff of her shoe with both hands and shoved one of her cotton sock-wearing feet inside.

"You're not happy?" Xiao Yao said.

"What do I have to be unhappy about," Yu Luying looked up and smiled at Xiao Yao: "My sister and I have already reached a gentleman's agreement when we took a bath that day, no one will be jealous, you don't think about it." ”

The two little girls also made a gentleman's agreement.

"Do you still have classes in the evening?" Xiao Yao scratched the back of his head.

Yu Luying pinched the laces of her shoes with both hands and carefully tightened them: "Have a good meal and go to the Modern Cafe to learn?" ”

Of course, Xiao Yao knew the reason why Yu Luying didn't want to come to his house again, so he nodded a little disappointed.

"See you in the evening, then." Yu Luying put on her shoes, stood up, and stomped her right foot lightly on the ground: "Really don't send it." ”

Seeing Xiao Yao reach out to hug him again, the girl's face flushed, and she obediently leaned into his arms for a second, and then separated.

"Let's go." Yu Luying said in a cheerful voice.

Xiao Yao stood at the door of the soap tablet room, checking his QQ messages.

oO Shuho Oo: I've been sleeping in the afternoon, and the bed at home is really too! Soft! Finish!

oO Shuho Oo: Now go downstairs and eat.

Don Quixote: I'll take a picture later, the night banquet of the wealthy families of high society.

oO Shuho Oo: Thirteen o'clock. What do you eat? Are you okay? You make it for her, stop eating instant noodles.

Nan Nan ...... Not so good, I guess?

Xiao Yao returned to his daughter's room and took another look, but there was still no one.

Don't run away from home again, right? Xiao Yao's heart was shrouded in a dark cloud.

The boy gave himself a little touch, locked the door, and walked down the street at dusk.

How to say that? I am used to the life of being inseparable from Shen Jie, and now I am empty all of a sudden, not to mention lonely, lonely and cold, at least I am definitely not used to it.

Yu Luying had already gone home for dinner, and she wouldn't even let herself send her home.

After the symbiosis is weakened, the function of "one person is full and two people are not hungry" is gone, and now only the sense of taste will be transmitted by the void.

That is, it is necessary to find a place to eat.

Shen Jie should have gone downstairs to eat, and QQ disappeared again. Xiao Yao left a message on QQ, telling her that she was going to eat Hu Jianqianli fragrant wontons alone, and she was not at home, so she didn't have to worry about her dinner.

As for where she went, as well as the dispute between the three of them during the day, Xiao Yao was afraid that Shen Jie would worry, so he didn't say anything for the time being.

If you dare to stay home at night, tell her mother again.

When he was about to walk to the door of Hu Jianqianli Xiang Wonton, two junior high school students holding hands and wearing red scarves walked up to him - to tell the truth, with their height, if it weren't for the red scarf on their chest, Xiao Yao might have mistaken them for high school students.

Well? Isn't it summer vacation?

The young man's heart suddenly remembered someone again.

Zhao Xiaomei has never taken the initiative to contact herself since the day Song Haijian died, and of course, she has not contacted her.

This sudden evaporation of the world is also not very accustomed to it.

Will you run into her at a wonton shop?

What the hell am I thinking, Xiao Yao shook his head.

The mobile phone in his hand rang at the right time, it was Yu Luying's number.

"Have you eaten?" Picking up the phone, the other side didn't even say "hey" and began to talk to himself: "By the way, I can feel that you haven't eaten." Come to my house, my mother told you to come to my house to eat. ”

Xiao Yao subconsciously wanted to excuse himself: "How embarrassing is this—now?" ”

The other party put down the phone, and Xiao Yao secretly regretted it in his heart.

Thinking of Yu Lihua's sparkling cold eyes and drooping corners of her mouth, as well as the row of gold and silver acupuncture needles in his hand, he didn't really want to face this venerable lady.

But......

But going to Yu Luying's house for dinner is better than eating at home alone or eating Qianli fragrant wontons, which feels more "home".

Xiao Yao took a long detour before going to Yu Luying's house and went to the old commercial street.

He first bought two catties of large and plump peaches at the fruit shop.

Yu Luying loves peaches, and of course he will not forget this.

What to buy for Yu Lihua? Xiao Yao turned around several times, but he couldn't make up his mind.

Forget it, if you carry a bag of fruit, the etiquette should be in place.

He was about to turn to leave, when he caught a glimpse of a shop selling all kinds of girls' gadgets.

When I went to the hammam to pick up the two of them that day, I accompanied them all the way to shopping, and Shen Jie and Yu Luying seemed to have entered here.

Xiao Yao took a fancy to the headband hanging in a conspicuous place at a glance.

This is a very cute pink bow headband. The bow is made of silky soft pink fabric, and the wings of the two bows are delicately cut into two layers, the outer layer is delicate lace, and the inner layer is a softer fabric, which makes the whole bow look very three-dimensional, and the ends of the headband are very textured metallic.

Generally speaking, this kind of is more suitable for primary school students or junior high school students, and if she buys it for Shen Jie, she will probably be too naïve. Yu Luying's words...... Well, maybe she'll like it?

Xiao Yao suddenly thought that on the night Shen Jie left, he had criticized himself in a half-joking tone, saying that he never bought anything for her......

Sure enough, you should give small gifts every now and then, right?

Accept criticism and improve with an open mind.

After the boy bought the bow headband, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Oh, is it too impersonal to accept Shen Jie's criticism, and then go to buy a gift for Yu Luying?

You have to treat everyone equally, and buy one for Shen Jie.

But what to buy for her? Not to mention aesthetic issues, at the price of the things here, the eldest lady won't wear them on her body at all, right?

Xiao Yao's gaze fell on the plaque of "Xiaofengxiang Silver Building" diagonally opposite the shop.

This "Xiaofengxiang Silver Building" is located in the center of the old commercial street, Xiao Yao doesn't know how many times he has passed by this year, but he never thought of going in to see it.

The diamond ring must not be able to afford - of course, Kari may have a little money left, but it is all Shen Jie and her big brother B's father's money, and it is obviously not appropriate to buy her a gift.

I thought I could only buy silver, but I basically didn't have to think about gold and platinum, but it turned out that it was actually okay. Xiao Yao soon fell in love with a pair of platinum couple rings of about 2.57g, and the price started at 1253 after discount. Although it is a little unremarkable, although it is a little delicate, a little unpretentious, and a little narrow......

"You can also use it as a tail ring." The salesperson enthusiastically introduced.

"Tail ring?" Xiao Yao was a little confused: "Doesn't the tail ring represent celibacy?" ”

"Oh, it's not ......"

The staff of this silver building wore crisp uniforms, were courteous and warm. Xiao Yao listened to her introduction while looking around casually.

The whole shop is richly decorated and brightly lit, and the gold and silver jewellery that fills the cabinets glows charmingly.

In this "noble" and "elegant" piece of gold, Xiao Yao suddenly felt very awkward and felt out of place.

After a few more laps, he quickly left.

Buying such a valuable thing can't be as casual as buying ice cream, not to mention that Yu Luying and her mother are still waiting for them to come to eat, since they promised to go, if they arrive too late, they obviously don't know each other very well.

Xiao Yao held the peach in his hand and walked briskly towards Yu Luying's house.

There is a principle that must be established, that is, whether you buy a gift for Shen Jie herself or a gift for Yu Luying, you can't use Shen Jie's money stored in her card, and the rest of the money - including the money left by the "father-in-law" last time.

Then, at present, the only thing that can be used is the money left by grandma for herself, no more, no less.

But there is another problem in this, if you use all your living expenses to buy gifts, you will still use Shen Jie and Brother B's money to eat in the end, which is equivalent to covering your ears and stealing the bell.

To buy a gift for Shen Jie, you have to use the money you earn to show your sincerity.

If you want to talk about ways to make money, Xiao Yao's first thought is to go to the Twist Wave Restaurant to serve dishes, but that kind of part-time job is too time-consuming, and the task of making up classes this summer vacation is heavy, so it is not appropriate to have more branches.

Looking for a way to earn some more manuscript fees? Seem...... Feasible?

Also, how to get Shen Jie's finger size? If you ask her, won't there be no surprises?

Thinking like this, he walked like this, and he had already walked downstairs to Yu Luying's house. The wooden "gate" on the first floor (which is actually not very big) was hidden, and Xiao Yao pushed the door in, making a "squeak" sound.

As soon as you enter, there is a large soap pan room shared by four or five households, and there is a bicycle and a light bicycle parked in the soap pan room. A middle-aged aunt was stir-frying on a gas stove, and when Xiao Yao walked towards the stairs, the two looked at each other.

No one knew anyone, and no one spoke.

To get to the second floor of Yu Luying's house, you need to step on a long wooden staircase. The escalator spiraled upward, and when Xiao Yao stepped on it, the wooden planks under his feet would make a moaning sound like the wooden door at the door.

This made Xiao Yao nervous, afraid that it would collapse at any time.

The door on the second floor facing the stairs is Yu Luying's home, which was once a holy place in his mind.

There is a couplet on the gate of this holy place. The upper link said: "The desert rivers are peaceful", the lower link said "the wilderness road is glorious", and the horizontal criticism - "the grace of the Lord is boundless".

Xiao Yao saw the shoe rack at the door at a glance, and the white sneakers that Yu Luying wore today were placed on the top.

The lower level of the shoe rack has high and low high heeled boots and high heels, which are obviously the mother-in-law's.

Wait, what mother-in-law? My mother-in-law, the only one I designated, passed away 10 years ago.

This wooden door is also hidden, Xiao Yao rubbed the dust on the soles of his shoes on the carpet at the door, changed the peach he was holding in his right hand to his left hand, raised his right hand and wanted to knock on the door, but hesitated.

Still is...... A little scared?

Xiao Yao took a deep breath and raised his right hand again, ready to knock on the door.

The door was vigorously opened, and Yu Lihua's iceberg face appeared in front of her.

Seeing Xiao Yaopestle at the door, the two of them stared at each other for 1-2 seconds, and then, Yu Lihua forced out a smile.

It is known that this middle-aged woman has always had a straight face, a cold face, and appeared unapproachable. Therefore, when she deliberately squeezed out a "kind" smile, it would make Xiao Yao feel a strange sense of disobedience.

Her lips seemed to barely rise, revealing a row of teeth, but her eyes still didn't change much, still deep and indifferent, like a Mona Lisa's smile. Her countenance didn't seem to be well adapted to this smile, and the whole expression was stiff and unnatural, to put it simply......

Yes, like the wolf grandmother looking at Little Red Riding Hood.

This kind of smile, of course, will make Xiao Yao feel embarrassed and uneasy, and it seems to imply something...... Unknown things.

"Hello Auntie!" Xiao Yao hurriedly bowed, and raised the plastic bag containing the peaches in his hand with both hands like a tribute.

"Come in—you don't need to change your slippers, you'll be barefoot," Yu Lihua took the peach amiably: "The ground has just been mopped." ”

This is the home of Yu's mother and daughter—only a large single room, about seventeen or eighteen square meters, and the door is directly opposite the statue of the "Madonna of Pain" on the wall: in this icon, Mary frowns slightly, and points to her heart - where seven sharp swords are struck.

Basically, it can't be said to be exactly the same as the "parent-child education center" in Teacher Yao's hall, and it is also eight or nine percent close.

"You can figure it out, I'm very happy," Yu Lihua whispered in his ear as Xiao Yao walked inside: "Be nice to her, otherwise ......"

"Mom, what are you muttering to others!" Yu Luying pouted and stood up and walked towards Xiao Yao. She wears pink bunny slippers on her feet and her socks have been removed.

"Hey." Not long after parting, we met again.

On the side of the door is a sofa with a small coffee table in front of it, and a double bass lies at the bottom of the coffee table...... And a guitar? Facing the square table where we are eating.

The square table was against the window, a large bed was next to the innermost corner, and there was a small prayer table at the head of the bed.

This baroque prayer table is small but well-equipped, and is the most ornate and dazzling part of this modest room: a cross of pure gold sits in the center, and on the left is a foreign Latin scripture – only a photograph of a man in black and white, on which it is somewhat out of place.

Out of politeness, when passing by the prayer platform, Xiao Yao waved his hands together at the statue of Yu Luying's father, made a gesture, and bowed slightly.

It's a pity that the horse's fart slapped on the horse's feet - he keenly noticed that Yu's mother and daughter frowned slightly imperceptibly.
