Chapter 19 ■ A call from home
After the two arrived at the school, because Wang Siqi was still busy with his own affairs, Gao Daquan said goodbye to her, and then walked towards the library as usual.
The old man in the library saw that Gao Daquan was here again today, and he kept staring at him expressionlessly, and there was even a kind of disdain in his eyes.
Because Gao Daquan's reading speed is quite amazing, he can read seven or eight books almost at noon.
No wonder the old man was wary, wondering if Gao Daquan was reading the book, besides, how could anyone turn the next page in a second like him.
But now Gao Daquan's inner endurance has long been far more comparable to others, his mind is not only mature, but also as solid as a rock, no matter what the situation, he can smile and calmly do what he should do.
Today, however, there seem to be twice as many people reading books in the library as usual, and the seats are almost full.
Gao Daquan took a very famous foreign masterpiece called "Peace and War" from the bookshelf, took it in his hand, chose a vacant seat and read it alone.
Unconsciously, Gao Daquan tirelessly entered the world of books.
Although this is a book describing the history of the Russian War, Gao Daquan already has his own understanding of the fate and future of the main characters in this book, according to Gao Daquan's own understanding, every time he reads a book, he will gain something in his heart, which is why he continues to read books to enrich himself as soon as he enters the university.
About twenty minutes later, Gao Daquan closed the book, and finally finished reading it, still sitting on a stool with a look of unfinished thinking, thinking about the storyline in the book.
"The fact that such a great book has been completed so quickly by this classmate is really amazing the way you read. ”
An old man with white hair, a white beard, and a kind face about seventy years old was sitting opposite Gao Daquan, and when he saw that Gao Daquan's reading style was very special, he was shocked at first, and then turned into a smile.
"Ah...... Hello, where is it, this is nothing, it's just that I'm used to reading like this for a long time. Gao Daquan came back to his senses from his thoughts, and then noticed that an old man came to the other side of the table at some point.
"I can see that my classmate is a person who loves to study very much, how much college is he studying this year?" the old man seemed to be interested in Gao Daquan.
"Oh, I'm just a freshman this year. Gao Daquan said patiently.
The old man touched his beard and said with a smile: "The freshman is good, the freshman is good, if you don't dislike the old man, I want to make you a little friend, what do you think?"
Looking at the old man's kind face, Gao Daquan suddenly remembered his grandfather at home for a while, and he didn't refuse at the moment, and hurriedly accepted the old man's request.
At noon that day, Gao Daquan did not continue to stay in the library to read, but walked around the campus with the old man, and at the same time they talked about a lot of various topics.
The old man is old, and he always has a cane in his hand, but Gao Daquan is holding the old man every step of the way to prevent him from falling.
Don't look at the old man's age, but he can't see any sickness at all, but he reveals a fairy wind and bones.
However, the image left by Gao Daquan to the old man is that he not only loves to learn but also has a very high level of knowledge, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it even as an expert in a certain field.
After all, the good times are short-lived, and seeing that the first class in the afternoon is about to start, Gao Daquan has to say goodbye to the old man.
After two major classes, the afternoon passed in a blink of an eye, Gao Daquan first went to the cafeteria alone for dinner, and then returned to the dormitory.
At this time, there was only Zhang Jun in the dormitory, but at this time he had just finished taking a shower and was about to prepare to go out to do his own things, as for the fat Qin Liang and Zhang Zitao, they both participated in their favorite clubs and had their own things to do, so they didn't come back.
"Brother Quan, I'm out, if you need help with anything, just call and keep it on call. Zhang Jun stood at the door of the dormitory and was about to go out.
"Eh, go ahead and leave me alone. Gao Daquan sat in front of Zhang Zitao's computer and bored browsing the news page.
After saying hello to Gao Daquan, Zhang Jun directly closed the door of the dormitory, and now only Gao Daquan is left in the dormitory.
Because Qin Liang, Li Jun, and Zhang Zitao's family conditions are slightly better, each of the three of them has a mobile phone, and Gao Daquan does not have the habit of spending money at will, plus the family conditions are limited, so he naturally did not buy a mobile phone, even if some of the money compensated by Ali in the alley next to the IKEA shopping plaza last time, Gao Daquan has always kept it well.
"Jingle Bell ......"
Gao Daquan was thinking about what to do when suddenly the phone in the dormitory rang.
Walking to the phone hanging on the wall, Gao Daquan picked up the phone directly.
"Hey, who are you looking for?" Gao Daquan asked.
"Is it Quanzi? I'm Mom!" Xu Guiyun's warm and familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Ah...... Mom! It's you! How is the family now? What about our father? Is grandpa all right?"
There was no immediate reply on the other end of the phone, and there was a brief silence first, but Xu Guiyun was already full of tears at this time.
"Quanzi, don't worry about family affairs, you must study hard at school, Mom and your dad are looking forward to your future success and show the people in our village, not all of our Gao family have been farmers for generations. ”
"Eh, I got my mom. Gao Daquan responded to Xu Guiyun's words very sensibly, but listening to Xu Guiyun's words, there seemed to be a hint of crying, as if something was wrong, "Mom, are you crying? Honestly, what's going on at home?"
Xu Guiyun was silent for a while, and then he made up his mind: "Quanzi, a few days after you left, something happened to your father...... He has been lying in the hospital for almost half a month, but the doctor said that he has passed the dangerous period. ”
"Ah, tell me what's going on in Mom's house. Gao Daquan's face was already full of worry, and his heart was even more anxious.
Xu Guiyun didn't want Gao Daquan to know, but he couldn't control his emotions for a while, so he let his son see it, so he had to tell the reason one by one.
Gao Daquan's father, Gao Dong, is a farmer who has worked all his life, in addition to planting a few acres of land, he occasionally grows some melons, fruits and vegetables.
Since Gao Daquan went to college, the family's farm work is the same as usual, Gao Dong and Xu Guiyun take care of it.
Although it is already September, the weather seems to be relatively hot this year.
On this day, as usual, Gao Dong and his family went up the mountain early to do farm work in their own fields, and it was almost noon, and lunch time was coming.
Gao Dong instructed Xu Guiyun to go home first to make lunch, and when it was ready, just bring one back for himself.
In this way, Xu Guiyun went back, and Gao Dong was still busy harvesting potatoes in the field alone.
I don't know how long it took, Gao Dong just dug a hoe of potatoes out of the ground, and then prepared to pick up the potatoes and put them in a nylon bag.
A dangerous scene happened, who would have thought that in a dense weed pile next to it, there was a poisonous snake hiding there to cool off.
Gao Dong obviously didn't notice, let alone realize that as soon as he picked up a potato in his hand, he was bitten his wrist, and he didn't see what the poisonous snake looked like until he found a painful feeling on his wrist, and Gao Dong found the tooth marks on his wrist.
