Chapter 17: The eyes are full of little stars
On weekend afternoons, Song Haowen took advantage of the absence of classes to wander around the streets outside the school, looking for a house by the way. By chance, he noticed a store with a trendy glass kitchen window, and he wanted to get closer to see it.
"Good brother, I've finally found you!"
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly opposite Song Haowen. Song Haowen looked back and found that it was Qian Youlai who was calling him. I saw Qian Youlai rushing over from the other side of the road like a gust of wind, grabbed him, and said happily: "You can make it easy for me to find." ”
Song Haowen asked a little surprised: "It looks like your injuries are all healed." Is there something wrong with me? ”
Qian Youlai smiled and said, "Thanks to you for saving me that day, otherwise, I would have been miserable." After the injury is healed, I want to say thank you again and treat you to a meal. But I don't know your name, so I can only keep wandering around your school, but I didn't expect to really let me meet you. ”
Song Haowen waved his hand and said, "It's a trivial matter, don't worry about it." Is that big back still bothering you? ”
Qian Youlai said proudly: "With your god to protect them, where do they still have the courage to come to find trouble!" He took Song Haowen's hand, "You have to tell me your name this time." ”
Song Haowen did not refuse this time and told the other party his name.
Qian You said: "You are my savior." Your kung fu is so good, can I worship you as a teacher? ”
Song Haowen sneered and said, "It's over, it's over." What lifesaver? Don't say that. It's not okay to call the master, I don't accept apprentices. ”
Qian Youlai's eyes darkened. "You students at Jingcheng University are all beautiful children of the sky and have a great future. I am not even qualified to take the college entrance examination, I am just an unemployed vagrant, and I know that I am not worthy of being your apprentice. ”
Song Haowen stared at the other party and said, "Where do you understand?" I said, "I'm not going to be your master, it's because I'm younger than you, I'm only 16 years old." ”
Qian Youlai was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that the other party could go to college at such a young age, and he went to the best university in the world, and he couldn't help but admire it even more.
"As the saying goes, those who can are teachers. If you are not a master, it has nothing to do with age. I really want to worship you as a teacher. From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will be your follower. ”
Song Haowen's heart moved. If you want to start a business, what you lack is manpower. However, what is the character of the other party, he is still unclear, and whether he accepts the other party as a helper needs to be investigated. Thinking of this,
He said, "I'll have to think about it later." Nothing, I'll go first. ”
Qian Youlai understood that the other party could not agree to his request at once, so he stopped mentioning it. He invited, "My house is not far from here. I'd like to invite you to my house and have dinner. ”
Song Haowen wanted to refuse, but then thought that it would be okay anyway at this time, so it would be good to go and have a look, so he happened to know more about him, so he agreed.
Qian Youlai was overjoyed, and he kept talking along the way. Through his introduction, Song Haowen basically understood the situation at home.
Qian Youlai's family used to be a decentralized household, and only returned to the city from Hexi a few years ago. There is a family of five, the father works in a state-owned factory, the mother works as a salesperson in a community department store, and two younger sisters, one in junior high school and the other in elementary school.
Before the decentralization, Qian Youlai's family used to have two bungalows, but after the decentralization, this suite was demolished due to urban renovation. After returning to the city, the neighborhood committee has not given an explanation for his family's house. There are many houseless households in the capital who return to the city like his family, and the reasons are different. At present, they are all temporarily resettled by the government in shantytowns, awaiting the allocation of housing, and the living conditions are quite difficult.
Song Haowen was more familiar with the resettlement community in his previous life, and many of his acquaintances became rich overnight because of the demolition, and he didn't know much about the concept of shantytowns. When he followed Qian You to his house, he learned that the shantytown where his home was located was originally a prefabricated house and tent built by the government against the river, with two rows, one facing the river and the other back street, and in the middle was a large passage about one kilometer long.
Qian Youlai's home is two aluminum alloy prefabricated houses, built near the river, one is a living room, the other is a room, and a half-person-high iron shed is built outside the board room, in which several rows of briquettes are piled up, and there is a steel pot on the carbon stove sealed at the mouth of the furnace. When Song Haowen came, the water in the steel pot was steaming.
The door of the prefabricated house was not locked, and as soon as the handle was twisted, the door opened, and there was no one at home. Qian Youlai brought a thermos, poured two cups of tea, and then took melon seeds, and the two sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, chatting while eating.
Soon, Qian Youlai's family came back one after another, and they were very grateful when they learned that Song Haowen had saved Qian Youlai. When Qian Youlai's eldest sister heard that Song Haowen was only sixteen years old this year and was already a top student at Beijing University, her eyes were full of little stars.
Under the warm invitation of Qian Youlai's whole family, Song Haowen stayed for dinner. Dinner was quite sumptuous, with four dishes and one soup, stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, steamed yellow croaker, smoked pork head, vegetarian stir-fried Chinese cabbage and vermicelli seaweed soup. couldn't help but persuade everyone, Song Haowen also drank half a cup of Erguotou.
