Chapter 30: Into the City

Soon, the holiday after the college entrance examination was about to end, and Wu Hou counted the days and did not plan to return from the mountains until the last day. In the last few days of leaving, Wu Hou had never been to Pinghuang Mountain, he was at home every day, talking to his grandmother, helping his grandfather to chop the firewood at home.

On the last day, Wu Hou packed his luggage in the morning, and before leaving, he told Guo Xianda and the others that he hoped that they would move to the city to live, but the two old men were still unwilling. Wu Hou, who was helpless, had to pick up his bag and walked out of the door a little sullenly.

Grandma told Wu Hou uneasily, her eyes were slightly red, and she was very reluctant to let him go.

"Pay more attention when buying and eating outside, I heard that there are many restaurants outside that are not clean. If you are alone over there, you must be more careful, don't be deceived by the bad guys. Rarely go out to play at night, life is unfamiliar, and it is not safe. You have to eat on time, and you can't starve yourself when no one is around. Remember to give us a call when you get there, and you must take care of yourself and study hard over there. I heard that there are a lot of things to play in the flower world outside, and you have to spend the money you bring, don't spend it all, then you can only go hungry...."

When Wu Hou heard these words, his nose was sore, and he was about to shed tears.

Guo Xianda looked at the two of them from the side, and the appearance of crying made his head a little big, and he immediately said: "Stop, stop, stop, don't nag old woman, Wu Hou is not a three-year-old child." ”

"Isn't it reassuring that he went so far away alone..."Grandma lifted the apron on her waist and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Wu Hou choked up and said, "I'll call you often, grandma." ”

"Well, good boy. Grandma touched Wu Hou's face, and took out a few hundred yuan from under the apron and stuffed it to Wu Hou. "Don't be bitter over there. ”

Wu Hou shirked it, and his grandmother stuffed it into Wu Hou's bag one by one. Guo Xianda shook his head and told Wu Hou: "Take it, your grandmother is uncomfortable if you don't hold it." Wu Hou had no choice but to take it.

After taking the money, Wu Hou looked at Guo Xianda and his grandmother,

"Then I'm leaving. ”

"Go ahead, let your grandfather send you, slow down on the road. ”

"Hmm. ”

An old man and a young man walked towards the place where they were in the car, and their grandmother stood at the door and looked at Wu Hou's back, unwilling to go home for a long time until they couldn't see it. Looking at the young man who was already slightly taller than Guo Xianda, the old woman sighed in her heart, time is so fast, the child who was always spoiled in her arms has grown so tall now.

When she thought of Wu Hou going to college, the old woman was very happy in her heart, although she didn't know a single big word, but she knew that only by reading more could she have a good life and live a good life. People in her era did not have the conditions to read and write, so they could only live a poor life in the mountains all their lives, and now that they have the conditions, they must let their children study hard, so that they can live a good life in the future. She was uneducated, but she was also great.

On the mountain road to the car, the grandfather and grandson walked for a while, and Guo Xianda asked Wu Hou: "Your master wants to go with you?"

"yes. ”

"And where does he live?"

"Rent a house to live in. ”

Guo Xianda said unhappily: "He is penniless, how can he rent a house? Where does the money come from? I don't believe he has any money. ”

Guo Xianda didn't know that Wu Hou had used his spare time to play hundreds of games with Mai Weili in recent years, and he had saved a lot of money.

He told Guo Xianda, saying, "Don't worry, the money is enough." ”

Guo Xianda pouted and said: "It's enough for a fart, your mother's salary is only enough to support yourself, and it's far from enough to bring him." As he spoke, Guo Xianda reached into his pocket, took out two hundred yuan, and continued: "That's all I have, this is your grandfather's money for me to buy cigarettes, give it to you." ”

Wu Hou couldn't help laughing, but he was a little moved, but Guo Xianda would never ask for this money.

"Grandma has already given a lot, I don't even plan to ask for it, you give me back the money, hehe, I don't want it. ”

"Really?"

"I really don't. ”

"Don't pull it down, I'll keep it for smoking. Guo Xianda made a funny expression and put the money away again.

Wu Hou looked at his grandfather who was like a naughty boy and made a funny expression, haha laughed, he laughed, Guo Xianda also laughed, so the grandfather and grandson laughed loudly on the mountain road.

After turning a corner and walking onto the asphalt road, the two saw Duanmu Shenjiu from a distance. He was carrying a leather bag given to him by Wu Hou, wearing a white shirt, a pair of black trousers, and a pair of white leather shoes on his feet. This dress was bought by Wu Hou, it fits very well, Duanmu Shenjiu rarely changed into a pair of black pants, and did not continue to wear a white one. can change into such a dress and match his classical hair, which is really unaccustomed to it.

When he got closer, Wu Hou called out to his master and looked at him with a smile. Duanmu Shenjiu snorted, and had some questions: "Wu Hou, I see that you want to laugh a little, what's wrong?"

Guo Xianda said hehehe: "This dress, and the pimple on your head, look at it together, it really makes people want to laugh." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu was slightly stunned, looked at Guo Xianda, hugged his fists and saluted, and said, "If you are dressed inappropriately, the old gentleman will forgive me." ”

"What are you doing, weird. Guo Xianda hurriedly jumped away and looked at Duanmu Shenjiu with a suspicious expression. How did he know that this was a sign of Duanmu Shenjiu's respect for a person.

Wu Hou said: "Let's do this first, when I get to the city, I will take the master to buy a few casual clothes." ”

Guo Xianda glanced at Wu Hou and didn't speak, but he felt sorry for Wu Hou's money in his heart.

Duanmu Shenjiu didn't know what Guo Xianda was thinking, he opened his mouth and said to Guo Xianda: "The white tiger has to work." ”

Guo Xianda nodded, looked at the car that drove over and said, "Go, the car is coming." ”

The car stopped in front of the three people, and after the door opened, the conductor was stunned when he saw Duanmu Shenjiu, but he didn't say anything, and greeted: "Get on the bus and go." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu was going to take a car for the first time, and he was a little unsure, but after seeing that there were passengers in the car, he also got into the car, but the passengers in the car looked at him who had just come up, and they all covered their mouths and laughed and whispered. He ignored the others, found a double seat for himself, and sat down.

Wu Hou, who hadn't gotten on the train yet, was urged by the conductor, "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, otherwise it will be dark when you get to the place." ”

Wu Hou looked at Guo Xianda and said, "I'm leaving, grandfather." ”

Don't look at Guo Xianda's usual indifferent appearance, but when it came to the moment of separation, he was also strangely sentimental, looking at Wu Hou in front of him, he was in a low mood, and he even had the feeling of wanting to shed two tears. But he didn't, but held back his tears, reached out and patted Wu Hou's shoulder, and said, "Go, remember to report your safety when you get to the university." ”

"Hmm. Wu Hou turned around, stepped on one foot and stopped, turned around and said, "I'm old, smoke less, it's not good for your health." After saying that, he lifted his other foot and got into the car.

Guo Xianda looked at the car that was gradually disappearing, thinking about the last words that Wu Hou had just said before getting into the car, he shed tears and choked up: "Good boy, you have grown up." ”

——————

After several twists and turns, the car swayed to the city, and the driver was eager to return to the city on the way, so he drove relatively fast. Duanmu Shenjiu sat in the car, feeling the high-speed driving of the car, and his heart was full of novelty, and he couldn't imagine that this means of transportation was so much smarter than the carriage of the era in which he lived, the speed was faster, and there were more people sitting.

When I arrived in the city, it was evening, and it was getting dark late, and although it was almost six o'clock, the sun still took a while to set.

Wu Hou got out of the car with Duanmu Shenjiu and walked into a street selling clothes. Duanmu Shenjiu looked left and right along the way, full of curiosity about the things around him, the houses and streets, as well as the cars running on the road, and the electric car riding alone. He couldn't help but sigh, he didn't expect the world to become like this now, and he had to wait for the flashing red and green lights to cross the street.

The two entered a clothing store, and Wu Hou told the boss, "Choose two sets of clothes." ”

The boss greeted him with a smile on his face and asked, "Okay, who wears it?"

Wu Hou pointed to his master, and the boss was stunned when he saw Duanmu Shenjiu, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Okay, good, hehe, the hairstyle is very individual." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu was speechless and not angry.

Then the boss helped Duanmu Shenjiu choose two sets of casual clothes and a pair of white board shoes, after Duanmu Shenjiu put them on, he felt very comfortable, but the clothes were a little printed, which made him dislike.

However, Wu Hou saw Master's thoughts, so he said, "That's it, Master, you can't always wear white, it's not tolerant of dirt." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu thought about it, so he wore it like this. Wu Hou paid, and the master and apprentice walked out of the store and returned to the street. There was a barber shop on the side of the road, and when Wu Hou saw it, he tentatively asked Duanmu Shenjiu and said, "Master, do you want to give you a haircut?" Nowadays, there are few men with long hair, and they will be laughed at. ”

Duanmu Shenjiu looked at Wu Hou, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Wu Hou pursed his lips, "Ignore it, then let's go eat something, Master, you must be hungry." ”

"Well, good. ”

Wu Hou saw that there was a restaurant not far away, so he walked in with Duanmu Shenjiu. After entering the restaurant, the master and apprentice sat down, Duanmu Shenjiu looked around with few people, and no one came to receive him, so he said loudly: "Little Er." ”

This strange call provoked some of the only guests in the room to look over to this side, and everyone saw a man with picturesque eyebrows and long hair draped over his shoulders.

Someone laughed, "Xiao Er, hehe, this person is not filming." ”

"Who knows, but it's good-looking. It was a woman who spoke, wearing heavy makeup, and kept staring at Duanmu Shenjiu, and when Duanmu Shenjiu looked at her, she also threw a flattering glance over.

Duanmu Shenjiu frowned and said, "Vulgar powder." ”

The woman was taken aback when she heard this, and said to the person next to her: "Oops, he said that I am a vulgar fan ....."

A few people on the side laughed, which made the woman very shameless.

The woman got angry and said to Duanmu Shenjiu: "Just hello, look at how you look, like a fairy, I am a vulgar fan, you are a fairy, you are a fairy and come to eat, phew." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu was displeased, and looked at the woman with sharp eyes. Wu Hou hurriedly spoke: "Master, don't pay attention to her. Then he said to the woman: "Beauty, don't be angry, my master can't speak, don't go to your heart, see that you are so good-looking, and your bearing is definitely not small, don't be like him." ”

The woman looked at Duanmu Shenjiu and said, "Look, every child in the family is sweeter than yours, you, you, Bai Chang is so good-looking, he must be a single." ”

Wu Hou smiled and said, "You eat, you eat." ”

At this time, a woman came out of the back kitchen, who seemed to be the proprietress of the boss, and as soon as she came out, she asked, "Who called Xiao Er just now?"

Duanmu Shenjiu slapped the table, attracting the proprietress to look this way.

The proprietress walked over, looked at the handsome Duanmu Shenjiu, and asked with a smile, "Your name is Xiao Er?"

Duanmu Shenjiu nodded seriously.

"Gotcha. The proprietress took out a small notebook and a pen, and asked, "Guest, what are you going to eat?" ”

"Poof..."

A few people around laughed again, Wu Hou looked embarrassed, but Duanmu Shenjiu said as usual: "Two catties of beef, a pot of good wine, come up quickly, I will have to hurry after eating." ”

The proprietress also laughed and asked, "You're really interesting, what are you doing? This hair is longer than mine, filming? What about the camera?"

Wu Hou said embarrassedly: "Auntie, do you have beef?" Let's have some, two bowls of noodles and two bottles of beer." ”

"Well, good. The proprietress wrote it down in her notebook, and before leaving, she looked at Wu Hou and said, "This is your friend, it's really interesting." ”

Wu Hou smiled awkwardly and nodded.

Duanmu Shenjiu looked at Wu Hou and asked, "Is there anything wrong with being a teacher?"

Wu Hou replied: "Now there is no one called Xiao Er, they are all called waiters." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu nodded and mumbled.

"And. Wu Hou leaned over and whispered: "How can you directly say that others are vulgar and vulgar like this, no matter whether they are good-looking or not, you have to call them a beauty, and now it's like this." ”

"That's also called a beauty?" Duanmu Shenjiu looked at the woman with heavy makeup, and her appearance was a little flattering.

Wu Hou knew what the master meant, but he still explained: "It's not good-looking, but it has to be called a beauty, and women nowadays like to be called beautiful." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu sneered and said in a low voice, "No shame." ”

At this time, the proprietress came over with two bowls of noodles and beef, and brought two bottles of beer at the same time, she put them down, looked at Duanmu Shenjiu and said, "Guest officer, use it slowly." ”

Wu Hou scratched his head, a little helpless.
