Chapter 86: I'm Home (Asking for Subscription)
The school is also one stop from the subway station.
Lin Lu got out of the car and walked towards the school gate.
Today, when only the third grade of high school was in class, the school was also a lot deserted, and he put the small umbrella that Li Xingruo exchanged into his schoolbag.
On the way to the classroom, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated slightly.
Lin Lu stopped, looked around and saw that there was no teacher, so he used the long sleeves of the school uniform jacket as a cover, and quickly took out his mobile phone to take a look.
Star: "I'm on the subway!" ”
Road: "[Funny]"
He didn't expect that Li Xingruo would notify him even if he got on the subway.
However, he didn't like her to talk too much, and after receiving this message, he seemed to know all her dynamics, which made him more relaxed and happy.
After returning his expression, Lin Lu put the phone back in his pocket and continued to walk towards the classroom, his pace was much lighter than just now.
When I came to the classroom to read, review, and make papers normally, the mobile phone in my pocket would vibrate every once in a while.
At 7:31, Star: "I'm at the high-speed rail station!" ”
At 7:50, Star: "I'm on the high-speed train!" ”
At 10:00 a.m., Star: "I'm in Liangxi!" ”
At 8:18, Star: "My dad is coming to pick me up!" ”
At 8:52, Star: "I'm home!" ”
After the rain, Liangxi was sunny, a white car slowly stopped in front of a self-built small building in Wutong Town, the co-pilot's door opened, Li Xingruo got out of the car, stepped on the spot twice, and relieved the fatigue of the waist and legs of sitting in the car for a long time.
"Dad, didn't it rain at home yesterday?"
"It's falling, but it stopped at eight o'clock in the evening, didn't it rain in southern Jiangsu?"
"It's eleven o'clock!"
Li Xingruo bathed in the sun at nine o'clock, breathing the air of his hometown, although the air quality is not as good as in the village, but after a rain, it has become clean and refreshing, and looking at the changes in the past two months since he was away from home, it seems that there has been no change.
But the surrounding flowers and plants have grown more lush, Recently, there has been more rain, and there is a trace of moss in the porcelain cracks on the outer wall of the small building, and there is a swallow's nest of more than three years on the top of the corridor on the first floor.
In the past, she always thought that the swallows flew to the south for the winter, referring to the south of the country, but think that Liangxi is also the south, and even in Guangdong, a little more south, the swallows will fly away in winter.
Later she learned that the south where swallows fly is near the equator, and they will fly out of the country, through the ocean or the mountains, to the south of the world.
Thinking about it like this, Li Xingruo felt that the swallow was amazing!
Not to mention being able to fly such a long distance, the key is that they never get lost!
Swallows don't have a mobile phone to navigate! Not to mention throwing Li Xingruo out of Liangxi and letting her come back by herself, without mobile phone navigation, she didn't know which direction to go home if she threw her out of Wutong Town......
After closing the car door, Li Xingruo stood next to the car, holding his mobile phone, and reported to Lin Lu that he had arrived home as soon as possible.
Except for her parents, she hasn't reported the itinerary to others in such detail, and it's not because Lin Lu always underestimates her, so let him know today that an excellent sister won't get lost easily!
People are not lost, but the heart seems to be lost, Li Min looked at the girl holding the mobile phone and smiling and sending a message, and called her twice, she raised her head and replied stunned: "Huh? What's wrong? ”
"Who to send a message to, you didn't hear the shouting."
"No, a friend."
"Talking about a boyfriend?"
“…… Dad, I just got to work! ”
"Get your backpack out, I'll be back to the store later."
"Is my mom in the store too?"
"That's right."
Li Xingruo hurriedly came over to get her backpack, her father helped her carry the suitcase, and the father and daughter went upstairs together.
The small building is self-built, and it is also 25 years old, three stories high, and my parents live on the first floor on weekdays, and Li Xingruo lives on the second floor, if there are relatives and friends or something, you can also arrange to live on the third floor.
Ordinary small buildings, like most people in the town, but these years have basically not approved self-built houses, even in the countryside want to build a house is difficult, because there are developers in Wutong Town to build a real estate, you can only buy a commercial house to live, don't look at Wutong Town, this small pimple place, the house price of the real estate has to be eight or nine thousand yuan a flat.
Dad helped her move the suitcase to the second floor, there are three rooms on the second floor, and the living room is also very large, but usually Li Xingruo sleeps on the second floor, and her parents rarely come up to the second floor, they are basically active on the first floor, mainly because they are too old to climb the stairs and entertain guests, all of which are convenient on the first floor.
Li Xingruo usually doesn't stay on the first floor very much, I feel that it is a place for adult activities, except for going down to eat or something, usually at home during holidays, she is on the sofa on the second floor to play with her mobile phone, watch TV and read books, especially when she hears the voice of a guest on the first floor, she is even more lazy to go down, this entire second floor is her private activity space, one day secretly bring a boyfriend back and hide on the second floor, it is estimated that my parents will not find out.
"The futon on your bed, my mother helped you change it last night."
"Hee-hee."
"You didn't eat breakfast, if you didn't eat it, there was lean porridge in the kitchen."
"Eat, will you come back for dinner at noon?"
"Don't go back, I'm eating in the store with your mother, do you want to go over and eat together or solve it yourself?"
"Oh! Then I don't care about you, I'll go back to have lunch with my grandparents later! Li Xingruo thought about it and said.
"Whatever, did you talk to your grandfather on the phone?"
"Not yet! I'll go to the market and buy some food, will the electric car still have electricity? ”
"Yes, the key is in the drawer of the coffee table, you have to wear a helmet, and there is a traffic police officer at the intersection recently who is not wearing a helmet."
"What? Do we need to look it up here too? ”
"It's a holiday."
If Li Xingruo squatted on the ground and opened the suitcase, if nothing else, the clothes in her suitcase would not be taken out, so she would put the suitcase on the ground as a small wardrobe until she brought it back after the vacation, probably college students all over the country like this, right?
It doesn't matter whether you are diligent or not, after all, since you live in high school, the time you spend at home is far less than the time you spend outside.
Even if I don't have anything to do when I go home, I still lie on the sofa every day and play with my mobile phone, but the feeling of home is always special.
Li Xingruo took out the gifts he bought for his parents.
"What did you buy, such a big bag?"
"Now, for you, a can of green tea, a cigarette! And these skincare products are for moms! ”
Hearing the sound, Li Min's expression visibly softened with the naked eye, he was fifty years old, and when he laughed, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became obvious.
"It's out! Will our daughter make her own money to buy gifts for her father? ”
"That's it!"
Li Xingruo smiled proudly, and when she was praised by her father, she felt that her busy internship work during this time was meaningful.
"This tea is good."
Li Min took the pot of green tea that his daughter bought for him, which was just an ordinary tea for hundreds of yuan, but with a smile on his face, it looked like an incomparably precious tea.
"And smoke!"
"What kind of smoke?"
"Yuxi that you usually smoke!"
"Good smoke, good smoke."
Li Min took the cigarette that his daughter bought for him, and he was happier than receiving Huazi.
“…… Hey, how is it a hard case? ”
"I don't know, aren't they all the same?"
"Yuxi must be soft and easy to smoke, hard ......"
"If you love to smoke or not, give it back to me if you don't smoke."
The girl stretched out her hand to him, and Li Min hurriedly put the cigarette in her arms like a baby, for fear that she would snatch it back.
"Pump! Of course pumping! Don't say it's a hard box, you buy Hongta Mountain for your father, and your father will smoke it without a single left! ”
“…… You smoke less! The smell on my body stinks to death! ”
"Hey, hey."
Although this was a reprimand from the girl's father, Li Min listened to it so well that the baby went downstairs with cigarettes and tea and went to the store to show off to his old friends.
Li Xingruo simply packed up his things, took the keys, and went out with his mobile phone.
There is an electric car at home, which is Li Xingruo's exclusive car, and when a small shopping mall in the town opened three years ago, she won the lottery after buying things, and the special prize!
If he was in a big city, Li Xingruo would not dare to ride an electric car, he felt that there were many cars, and he didn't know the road.
It's different in the town, she has grown here for twenty-two years, not to mention the big places, but in this part of the area around her home, she is familiar with every small street and alley.
The weather was fine, and the little girl put on a helmet and rode out of the door slowly and leisurely.
The development of the city always slowly radiates from the center to the periphery, compared to the earth-shaking changes in the city center, Wutong Town has not changed in the past ten years, it is nothing more than to become a little cleaner, there are more rules, and there have never been cafes in Wutong Town before.
The town is really small, and the only building that is a little bigger is her middle school, when she was the first in Wutong Middle School and was admitted to the key high school in the county.
Driving an electric car in front of the middle school, she curiously took a look at the school, the gate was equipped with an electric gate, which used to be a large iron gate, and a card swiping machine was installed, and outsiders were generally not allowed to enter.
There is a cake shop near the school gate, Li Xingruo always feels like a new one, think about it, it has been open for almost ten years, and this cake shop was the only cake shop in the town at that time.
There is also a barber shop, a stationery shop, a printing shop, and a sugar water shop next to it...... It hasn't changed at all over the years, and the shopkeepers are still those people.
The deepest impression is that there is a very dirty alley opposite the school gate, and the ground is always full of cigarette butts.
But now, the alley has also been renovated, the ground has become clean, the old iron sheets have been torn down, and even the bad students of the past are gone.
When she was in junior high school, she also had a few female classmates who played well, but because everyone's grades were different, and the high schools they went to were different, so many years have passed, and they gradually lost contact.
Of course, everyone has different pursuits, she was born in Wutong Town, and she also likes Wutong Town, but she yearns for the vast world outside, while getting lost in the road, while stumbling forward, tired to go back to Wutong Town to rest, and then continue to work hard, probably this is the status quo of more young people who have entered the society.
During the holiday season, the market is crowded, mostly on electric bikes, motorcycles or on foot, and occasionally a small car can be plugged in.
Li Xingruo is very experienced, so he found a place outside the market to lock up the electric car and walked inside to buy groceries.
The grandparents had bad teeth, so she bought some vegetables that were easy for the elderly to eat, bought a piece of foreleg meat, two bitter gourds, and two pieces of tofu, and made stuffed bitter gourd and stuffed tofu for her grandparents at noon.
After buying vegetables, Li Xingruo rode an electric car to his mother's shop again.
Small clothing stores, men's clothing, women's clothing, children's clothing, and selling underwear and socks, etc., the flow of people in the town is not large, and the people who come to help are old customers and acquaintances, and the revenue is also passable.
"Mom!"
"Why are you here, didn't your father say that you should go back to the village at noon?"
"Did my dad tell you I bought you a gift?"
"Anyway, what are you wasting that money for......
"Hey, duplicity, obviously with a happy face!"
"Then you earn money from work, go back to see your grandparents later, remember to stuff them with 200 yuan, when you were studying, your grandparents secretly stuffed you with money, right? There is no cash. ”
"I know! I've had cash ready for a long time! ”
Li Xingruo took out a few red bills from his trouser pocket, like a little rich woman, counted two of them, and photographed them on his mother's counter.
"Yo yo, this rich man, Mom still thinks you're rich."
"For you and my dad! You're welcome to me! ”
"You gave it to me, I will definitely not be polite to you, I don't have any money to spend later, but don't secretly ask my mother for living expenses."
"Humph! I got my graduation certificate in June, and after I became a regular, I have a salary of 6,005 yuan, and 200 yuan for full attendance! ”
"Are you still making up lessons for that junior in high school?"
"Yes~ He is very good, he is gentle and hard-working, and it is very easy to make up for classes."
"It's really fake, did you help others raise their grades?"
"Of course!"
"Why don't you consider becoming a teacher? Your uncle has an acquaintance over there, let's see if I can arrange you into the first middle school......"
"I'm leaving! Go back and cook for your grandparents as soon as possible! ”
"Huh, hey?"
Watching her daughter run away and ride an electric car, Chen Yingping was also angry and funny, seeing that she could be self-reliant, she would take care of the work and see what she could do.
Compared with this, the old mother is more worried about her finding a partner, I heard that there are many older leftover girls in big cities, if this is placed in a small county, it is a terrible thing......
Next to Chen Yingping's clothing store is Li Min's hardware store.
When Li Xingruo rode by slowly, his father was chatting with an acquaintance smoking a cigarette in front of the store.
"Eh, I said Lao Li, when did you change to Jadeite Creek?"
"If my family bought it, I just went to work, and I didn't make a lot of money, so I thought about buying cigarettes for my father, and I also said that she bought the wrong cigarettes......"
"Yo! That's amazing! There will be a lot of success in the future! ”
Li Xingruo pretended not to see it, and was too lazy to say hello, for fear of being stopped to ask about wages and objects, as soon as the electric car twisted the electric door, it slipped away with a bang.
There is a big road back to the village from the town, Li Xingruo doesn't like to take the big road, one is a lot of cars, the other is dusty, sometimes she rides a thin electric car to walk on the big road, passing by a mud truck full of sand, feeling scared.
She likes to walk on small roads, and now most of the small roads in the countryside have also changed from the former loess roads to cement roads, which are easy to walk.
Electric cars drive slowly on the country road, and by this time in April, the fields on both sides of the country road are also planted with rice seedlings, and you can plant two crops a year, and you can see a large area of green land.
The sky was blue and clean after the rain, there were many wildflowers blooming on the roadside, the trees were hanging green, the stream that meandered far and far away had gurgling water, a few ducks floating by the pond, and the occasional bird landed on the power line across the field, falling and then flying.
Li Xingruo can't draw, but he feels like he's walking in the painting.
She couldn't help but pull over and stop the electric car, took out her mobile phone to take a few photos, and recorded a ten-second video.
Sent to Lin Lu.
【Kids in the big city! How about it, do you want to come to my sister's house to sketch? 】
[Think! 】
Seeing Lin Lu's reply, the corners of Li Xingruo's mouth curled into a cute smile, and she stopped sending him messages, she deliberately seduced him! I won't bring him here!
Putting her mobile phone in her pocket, the little girl got on the electric car again and drove slowly into the village.
In front of a small two-story building, an old lady is bending down to tidy up her small vegetable garden.
The electric car stopped on the path in front of her, and the old lady looked up curiously, and after a moment's pause, a smile bloomed, and the wrinkles like dead tree bark on her face piled together.
"Grandma! I'll come back and cook for you~"
Li Xingruo took off his helmet and smiled sweetly.
