Chapter 120: Waiting
The trajectory of this bus is somewhat familiar, and after getting off the bus, Su Chengyi looked at the station name on the bus stop sign.
The map of the stop sign reads: Olive District.
Su Chengyi was stunned.
Chen Jinzhi took him inside, and it was the same place as the last time he came, full of garbage and chaotic.
After the rain, the roads became even more muddy, and the stench of dirty sewer water was everywhere.
Chen Jinzhi didn't react as if he was used to it, and Su Chengyi walked over almost with bated breath.
Eventually, she stopped in front of an old three-story house.
Su Chengyi was a little surprised, how could such a building be left in the middle of the dense tube building?
But that's fine.
It's so conspicuous that if something happens, you can easily find this place.
Chen Jinzhi turned around and said with a smile:
"I'm here."
It's a little older, but it looks much better than a crowded building.
Su Chengyi nodded, slightly relieved.
The lights in the house are still on, thinking of Chen Jin's last time that the man will not come back in a short time, it is estimated that the aunt is still inside.
"Let's go back."
Su Chengyi felt that it was faintly starting to rain in the sky again.
Chen Jinzhi stood still, a pair of beautiful amber eyes staring at him for a long time, as if to engrave the image of him standing under the street lamp into his mind.
Su Chengyi stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, she blinked quickly, stuffed the umbrella in her hand to him, and finally turned around and walked inside.
As she reached the door, she seemed to take a deep breath before pulling out the key and opening the door.
Although Chen Jinzhi closed the door quickly, Su Chengyi still heard the angry scolding coming from the crack in the door.
I don't understand, anyway, it's something bad.
Su Chengyi didn't rush to leave, and waited at the door for a while.
After making sure that there was no sound of suspected domestic violence, he held up his umbrella and left with his feet raised.
But instead of going back the way he came, he went deeper with his memory.
Yes, he just found out.
Chen Jinzhi's home and Lin Tong's home are only separated by two small alleys.
This discovery made Su Chengyi faintly complicated in his heart, and sighed softly in the deep night.
He walked quickly, and walked to the signboard of Xiaofei's store in a few minutes.
This alley is the only one where the lights are still on, and Su Chengyi took a look inside.
Just like the last time I came, in the smoke, a group of shirtless men were passionately fighting the landlord.
Su Chengyi stood at the door of Lin Tong's house, thinking about whether to knock on the door.
But the people inside were the same as last time, and suddenly pushed the door and walked out.
It's Lin Zhiwan.
She was visibly startled by the dark shadow in the doorway, and let out a short exclamation.
Su Chengyi quickly took a step back and allowed himself to stand where the light could shine.
Then compare one: "It's me" gesture.
When he saw that it was Su Chengyi, the panic on Lin Zhiwan's face instantly turned into surprise.
"Come in and sit."
Su Chengyi put the umbrella down against the wall and let her pull herself in.
It didn't take long for their home to change.
At least there's a decent desk.
Unlike before, furniture is basically made up of discarded cardboard boxes.
The lights seem to have changed, and the old bulbs that had been dim before have been turned into LED tubes.
Su Chengyi turned her head to look at Lin Zhiwan, these days, she seems to have changed.
I used to be tired from top to bottom, but now I have a stable job, and I look much healthier.
She was born beautiful, but she used to be partially covered by dust, but now she is more clearly and obviously beautiful.
Seeing Su Chengyi, Lin Zhiwan was very happy.
She knew that she had to be more mature and stable as an older sister, but since the last time, she has been looking forward to seeing him again almost every day.
After many days of anticipation, I didn't expect him to suddenly appear here at this time.
Unexpectedly, the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.
It's just that she doesn't know if this expectation is simply gratitude to the people who have helped her, or something else, she doesn't dare to think about it.
How long did Lin Zhiwan have to look at him and giggle before he could react.
Su Chengyi read the seconds in his heart.
Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one
Under Su Chengyi's teasing eyes, Lin Zhiwan finally realized that something was wrong.
She hurriedly pulled her hair and gestured to ask:
"Have you eaten it?"
Before Su Chengyi could answer, she took out a folding table from the corner.
It seems to be showing off that there is new furniture in the home.
"The next time you come to visit, you'll have a place to eat."
She gestured with a smile.
Su Chengyi shook his head and said that he had eaten it.
"How's the work? Is it still going well? ”
Lin Zhiwan nodded quickly,
"It went well. Sister Yang is a very good person, she doesn't let me do many things, and I'm embarrassed to receive so much salary. ”
Sister Yang?
Su Chengyi was a little speechless at this title.
Lin Zhiwan looked like she was four or five years older than them at most, and it must have been Yang Liu who asked her to call her sister.
"Don't be embarrassed, even if other people are in her house, it's the same workload."
Su Chengyi has not abandoned the practice of sign language recently, and when he has time, he will gesture to the video for a while.
Obviously, there is a lot of progress, and now there is no obstacle at all to talk to Lin Zhiwan.
The two chatted for a while, and Su Chengyi felt that something was wrong, so he asked:
"Where's Lin Tong?"
"He went to Brother Da Fei's house to return something, and last time I asked him to borrow a pack of rat poison."
Rat poison?
Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Lin Zhiwan immediately waved her hand and explained:
"It's used to medicate rats."
Otherwise, it can be used for medicine or something
Su Chengyi was inexplicably poked at the point of laughter.
"Do you have rats in your house?"
Lin Zhiwan lowered her head a little embarrassed,
"Living here, it's inevitable. But it won't come out now, don't be afraid. ”
Su Chengyi shook his head,
"I'm not afraid."
After making a gesture of this sentence, Su Chengyi did not provoke any more conversations.
Lin Zhiwan wrung her fingers and didn't know what she was thinking.
What do you want to say, the topics he can think of are all firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea in life, he will feel bored.
In the small room, the two could only stand face to face, and the scene was suddenly a little inexplicably embarrassing.
Fortunately, Lin Tong came back at this time.
He was also very pleasantly surprised to see Su Chengyi, and happily showed him his new desk.
"How's the exam today?"
Su Cheng asked this.
It's not for any other reason, it's just that he doesn't know how to talk.
Lin Tong smiled and nodded,
"It feels much better than the last placement test. I'm really grateful to Mr. Yi, what is usually not, I will ask you for advice, Daigo empowerment, and I will understand it at once. ”
Su Chengyi smiled and took off the schoolbag on his back.
Then he took out the English word book from the waterproof compartment and handed it to Lin Tong.
"This is my own summary of the key vocabulary book, which is basically a high-frequency test point. There are also example sentences and related grammar that I wrote myself, which I think are more complete than other materials. Send you. ”
Lin Tong was flattered and took it.
"But don't you use it yourself? I'll copy it and give it back to you! ”
"No, I've got it all in my head."
Su Chengyi really doesn't need it, with his current level of English, he doesn't need to look at these at all.
"Now English is your biggest disadvantage, as long as you take advantage of the last time to make up for it, you will have a chance to go to any school you want."
Su Chengyi said this very conservatively, and did not directly say Tang'an University.
Because he saw the photos cut out from the old newspaper pasted on the side of the desk, which were basically the scenery of the capital.
I vaguely remember that Lin Tong said that Lin Zhiwan wanted to go to the capital to have a look.
Lin Tong lowered his head and looked at it seriously, and Su Chengyi put his gaze back on Lin Zhiwan on the side.
She watched the two of them say a word, but she couldn't hear it, and she seemed a little at a loss.
Seeing that Su Chengyi finally turned around, she quickly gestured and asked:
"What are you talking about? Lin Tong seemed to be very happy. ”
Su Chengyi suddenly had some jokes.
"I'm saying you're beautiful."
Lin Zhiwan's face quickly turned red to the root of her ears, and she didn't finish a sentence after a few circles of her hand, so she simply turned her head in a hurry, not knowing what she was doing.
Su Cheng suggested that she no longer stare at this side, and finally found an opportunity to ask Lin Tong out loud:
"Does your sister ever have hearing aids?"
Speaking of this, Lin Tong's mood fell again.
"Yes, I was matched, but when my sister was working last year, she broke it. I haven't been able to fix it. ”
Su Cheng thought for a while and asked him:
"Can you show it to me?"
Lin Tong cautiously glanced at Lin Zhiwan, who was walking around next to him, blocked the desk drawer with his body, and quickly touched a small object and put it in Su Chengyi's palm.
Su Chengyi has never seen a hearing aid, and it feels like it is made of plastic in his hand, like a small earbud.
He carefully slipped it into his school uniform trouser pocket.
After making sure that the small movements of the two were not discovered by Lin Zhiwan, who peeked over from time to time, Su Chengyi nodded at Lin Tong:
"I'll ask if I can fix it."
Lin Tong quickly became nervous.
"Repairs are expensive and can't break the bank anymore. Let's go in a few days. I had a bad placement test last time, but I did well this time and should have a chance to get the school's progress award. I'll fix it when the time comes. ”
Su Chengyi's fingers rubbed the little thing in his pocket, and he lied casually.
"It's okay, I know a friend who specializes in this, so it's okay to ask the price first."
Make friends out of nothing.
His lying expression was too indifferent, and Lin Tong was easily deceived.
The purpose of this trip was achieved, and Su Chengyi got up to say goodbye.
The sister and brother kept sending him to the mouth of the alley, but they still had no intention of going home.
Su Chengyi wanted to laugh a little, turned his head and said to Lin Tong:
"I'll have to see you at school the day after tomorrow, is it necessary to be so reluctant?"
Lin Tong scratched his head embarrassedly.
In fact, it's not that he is reluctant to give up, it's that his sister has been following him step by step, so he was also taken along.
"I'll come back here for you in a few days."
Su Chengyi spoke and signed at the same time.
Rain and dew are evenly wet.
Both siblings thought that he meant "you" by himself.
Because of the next appointment, the waiting time is no longer long.
