In order to figure out what was being knocked in the next room at half past nine in the evening, Lin Chao forced Shu Fubi to ask Shu Fubi when Shu Sheng was away.

Shu Fubi was at a loss.

Lin Lan snorted coldly and asked like a judge, "What are you doing before you go to bed?"

Shu Fubi thought for a while and whispered: "Read extracurricular books." ”

Lin ran felt that there was no result in asking like this, so he asked directly.

"Who's knocking on the wall?"

Shu Fubi: "It's Mom." ”

Feeling Lin Chao's scrutinizing gaze, the guy shrunk his neck.

"Crabs and blue crabs are like that. ”

Xu Hongshuai didn't know what they were talking about, so he came over with a photocopied piece of paper.

"What crabs? I want to eat crabs at noon, the season is wrong. ”

Lin Chao followed his meaning: "It's not bad, just a plate of spicy crab and steamed crab for lunch." ”

Xu Hongshuai smiled, anyway, he didn't have to pay for it.

Moreover, Lin Chao's meal is large, and he can't eat ten dishes in one meal.

In order to avoid people's eyes, he will go out for a few meals after eating.

When Xu Hongshuai was holding his mobile phone to order food, Lin pondered Shu Fubi's extracurricular books.

He didn't change his clothes, he added a cotton coat and went out.

There is a store nearby that specializes in used books, and it also sells used books, mainly middle school textbooks and tutorial books.

Lin Lan learned that Shu Fubi had just started school, so he looked for first-grade extracurricular reading materials there and saw a fairy tale book called "The Lonely Crab".

Spent three yuan to buy this old book, Lin Chao flipped through it as he walked.

The first story, the banana crab is gone", and I finished reading it in less than a minute.

After reading it, he understood everything, what Shu Sheng was doing by banging on the wall.

He looked at it again.

A mud hole by the pond where crabs live.

Crabs sit at the entrance of the cave basking in the sun.

"It's so comfortable. "I wonder if she's awake?" she always likes to take a nap in the middle of the day. ”

The crab raised his large tongs and knocked twice on the wall.

"Knock, knock. ”

A voice came from next door: "Tuk, tuk." ”

It was knocked by the blue crab who lived next door. She is the crab's neighbor, and her mud hole and the crab's mud hole are side by side.

The blue crab crawled to the entrance of the cave and washed its face with tongs dipped in the water droplets on the blades of grass at the entrance of the cave.

Blue crabs are beautiful.

Her color was so green, so blue as blue. Her pincers are also half the size of a crab.

Crab loves her and always takes care of her like a big brother.

"Let's get some sun. "Crab," what a sun. ”

"Hmm. ”

The blue crab was very obedient, and she, like the crab, sat at the mouth of the cave.

And the sun shone on both of them.

The crab fell asleep, but the blue crab thought, "Why do you bask in the sun every day?" stupid......

She crawled over and gently pulled him with her pliers.

"Crab, I'm leaving. "Blue crabs.

"What, where are you going?"

The crab woke up and was startled.

"I want to find a better place to stay ......"

The crab was surprised: "Isn't this place good?"

Blue Crab softly: "I don't know, but I'm really leaving." ”

"But, but......" The crab didn't know what to do.

Second, when she saw the blue crab, she had already walked away.

The blue crab turned and waved her pincers at him.

The crab is sad.

He tapped the wall with pliers: "Knock, knock." "There will never be a "tuk, tuk" sound from there again.

The crab sat at the entrance of the cave until it was black.

The crab thought to herself: Where is the blue crab now? Does she still bask in the sun every time? Is she still so green?

However, the crab still knocks on the wall twice before going to bed: "Knock, knock." ”

He knocked it on himself.

Then the crab spits out a bunch of bubbles and hides itself.

When he's sad, it's always like this.

That's the end of the first story.

As an adult, Lin Lan inexplicably felt that this kind of fairy tale was a little cruel.

Tearing the good apart and creating emotional conflict, can the child understand this emotional transformation?

With a snap, the old fairy tale book was thrown into the trash, and Lin Chao didn't need to read it anymore.

Back at the office, Xu Hongshuai was saying to Shu Sheng: "You have to pay attention, especially after the night shift, the street lights here are not lit, and it is dark and not in the middle of winter, and the turtle painter is likely to start." ”

Shu Sheng's body trembled, her face turned a little whiter, obviously she was really scared.

If you are tied hand and foot, revealing the back of an ugly turtle painted with it, you will be seen by everyone...... Thinking of that scene, she lost even the confidence to live.

"Don't do that, I'm scaring you. ”

Xu Hongshuai didn't expect Shu Sheng to be so serious, so he immediately laughed and said with relief: "There are so many people in Zhancheng, it is not so coincidental to come here." ”

"Maybe it's just such a coincidence, who can be sure. ”

Lin Chao's voice came.

"Thank you, Manager Xu, I'll go first. ”

Shu Sheng's body trembled, and he immediately lowered his head and hurriedly left.

Xu Hongshuai looked at her back again.

Lin Lan came to him and said with a smile: "What, you have taken a fancy to her, and you plan to buy a big one and give a dragon to live?"

"Of course not, I'm rich and handsome now, who can refuse. ”

Xu Hongshuai puffed up his chest and said proudly.

After this period of understanding, he has the confidence to do this.

The manager of the overseas office of this large company has a basic salary of 5,000 yuan a month.

In the Wei State, this salary is ordinary, but in the Qi State, it is the elite level in Zhancheng.

The old man and wife in the district are very embarrassed to receive a retirement fee of 600 yuan a month, and Shu Sheng's monthly salary is only more than 1,000 yuan.

The three floors rented by the office cost a total of $1 in rent.

The price of food is higher than that of income, and a bowl of beef noodles for breakfast costs 12 yuan, and buns cost at least 1 yuan a piece.

When they first came, they spent nearly 300 yuan on barbecue with cucumber and Wen Xixi.

Therefore, Xu Hongshuai's life in Zhancheng is already at the middle and upper level, and he is not boasting about it.

"Then please Ai Hao and his colleagues sat at the bar, we developed very quickly, and often sent messages to chat. Shu Sheng, she shouldn't be in love with me, but I didn't take the initiative. But we really weren't suitable, and I was wondering how I could safely refuse her. Alas, I'm just soft-hearted. ”

Lin Lan asked curiously: "How do you know, could it be that she told you?"

Xu Hongshuai smiled.

"It's a feeling, it's a brain wave between two people. ”

Lin Chao secretly thought that he had completely entered the role, a young man who was unwilling to wait for death in a large company in the field.

Anyway, he didn't expect Xu Hongshuai to find clues, and with Xu Hongshuai covering him, others would not suspect him.

This night, Lin Chao deliberately waited at half past nine, and sure enough, there was no more knocking sound.

He was thinking of mischief, raised his hand and knocked on the wall a few times, and went about his business without waiting for a response.
