There will be a little light in everyone's heart, which will guide the way home.

The light in Gu Lie's heart is the 25-watt energy-saving lamp on the balcony on the 5th floor.

This lantern will be turned on on time at 9 o'clock every night by Gu Lie's grandmother Wang Xiaomei, just to let Gu Lie, who is studying for the evening, know that there are still people waiting for him in the family.

Standing down the old tube that had lived in for more than ten years, Gu Lie looked up at the energy-saving lamp that was flashing and dimming, and sighed, "It's time to change the light bulb."

He quickly walked to the stairs, and as before, he took out two cigarettes he bought on the road, and put the rest into the meter box in the stairwell with cigarette boxes.

When he arrived at the fifth floor, Gu Lie knocked on the door and shouted: "Grandma, I'm back."

The door opened, and Wang Xiaomei, who was in her teens younger, appeared in front of Gu Lie.

Wang Xiaomei is a native of Wudu. When she was young, she was a famous Kuaishou and labor force in the production team, but she was very beautiful.

Back then, Gu Lie's grandfather Gu Penghai went to the countryside to educated youth and met Wang Xiaomei.

After a while, the two got married in that era and gave birth to Gu Lie's father Gu Changxing.

Later, Gu Changxing fell in love with Zhao Chuman in the next village, which led to Gu Lie.

After Gu Lie was born, Gu Penghai and Wang Xiaomei returned to the city and moved into this fairly grand building at that time.

Gu Lie's parents relied on Gu Penghai's relationship to open a small family-style workshop in the village, specializing in producing leather bags for placing telescopes. When they met a good time, they successfully became a household of tens of thousands of yuan at that time.

The glorious ten-yuan household gave Gu Changxing the start-up capital and began to tinker with the very prosperous building materials business in 1990 and made some money.

And at this time Gu Lie had just turned two years old.

Seeing that his son and daughter-in-law were busy doing business all day long, Gu Penghai spent 30,000 yuan to find connections to change Gu Lie's household registration to his name and became a child in the city.

This is why Jiang Ailing said that Gu Lie grew up with his grandparents.

When he was a child, Gu Lie had a vague impression of his parents. Even when Gu Changxing and Zhao Chuman took time to see Gu Lie, he would hide in the bedroom and not come out, thinking that they were strangers.

But as he got older, Gu Lie also understood that this was his parents. Although he was alienated, he still had a relationship of blood thicker than water.

Gu Changxing had never read any books and dropped out of school in his second year of high school.

He also had different educational methods of Gu Lie than other fathers. He did not care too much, and only had 500 yuan in pocket money he received on time every week.

Sometimes he would ask Gu Lie, who was already 18 years old, to accompany him to socialize, just to allow Gu Lie to come into contact with this society earlier and to take over his shift better.

In the eyes of others, Gu Changxing's parenting method is not advisable, but Gu Lie thinks it's nothing. After all, his pocket money is the best in the same grade.

Wang Xiaomei repeatedly looked at Gu Lie who was like a chicken falling from the ground and asked, "Xiao Lie, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Lie pulled his hair that was dripping with orange juice, "I don't know who poured things down from the upstairs, but I happened to catch up."

"These people are too unqualified!" Wang Xiaomei scolded: "Go and wash quickly, don't catch a cold."

But half a second later, Wang Xiaomei found that something was wrong with Gu Lie's clothes and asked again: "Whose clothes are these?"

Gu Lie, who wanted to take advantage of the situation, seemed to be unable to fool him. He said truthfully: "It's Tiantian's father."

"Xia Zhengping?" Wang Xiaomei's face collapsed instantly and she said seriously: "Xiaolie, you should avoid contact with his family, especially Xia Qinning's mother Jiang Ailing! You must hide away!"

Gu Lie was originally curious why his grandmother didn't like Jiang Ailing, and why Jiang Ailing was so nice to him.

I'm afraid there are other hidden things besides the reasons I heard.

Gu Lie didn't dare to ask before, but this time he was much more courageous.

He asked curiously: "Grandma, what's wrong with Aunt Jiang? Isn't it good?"

Wang Xiaomei snorted coldly and said disgustedly: "Don't I understand her little thoughts yet? When I was young, I ran to my house for any reason. Just to be with your dad."

Gu Lie's pupils dilated instantly, and he asked in surprise: "No, isn't my dad so popular?"

"That's not!" Wang Xiaomei was still very confident about her son. She raised her head and said proudly: "Because our family was rich at that time! Not only did we have a small three-story villa, but also the only color TV in the village. In summer, we moved to the yard, and people about ten miles away from our family would come to see it!"

Gu Lie listened with relish, and Wang Xiaomei continued, "Then Jiang Ailing and your mother were classmates. The two fought to the death for your father. Jiang Ailing came to our house every night and was dressed in a good manner. I really couldn't stand it."

The indecision in Wang Xiaomei's mouth is different from the present. The indecision at that time may have only exposed her shoulders and her skirt is a little shorter.

"Then how did my mother win?" Gu Lie asked impatiently.

"What do you think?!" Wang Xiaomei looked at Gu Lie with a smile, who was full of curiosity in front of her, and said proudly: "Of course it was your grandma, I decided!"

Gu Lie sighed: "It turned out to be an arranged marriage!"

"You are neither older nor younger! Your parents are in love freely!" Wang Xiaomei hated Gu Lie, "Go and wash, and return this outfit to her family tomorrow! Our Gu family did not accept her in the past, and will not accept her clothes now, and will not accept her daughter in the future!"

Gu Lie's heart skipped a beat, but he still said, "Grandma, where have you been? I'm still a student and don't fall in love."

"Xiao Lie is just obedient!" Wang Xiaomei smiled so hard that she couldn't stop, "Are you hungry? Grandma cooks a bowl for you to copy your hands?"

Gu Lie nodded repeatedly. He hadn't eaten Wang Xiaomei's hand-wrapped handbag for a long time.

"I want to eat ten!"

"Then you go and wash first, you can eat after washing." Wang Xiaomei walked towards the kitchen, "Remember to turn on the bathroom heater, it's cold!"

Gu Lie slipped into the toilet and took out the cigarette and lighter in his pocket.

Hold the cigarette in your mouth, hold the phone in your hand, and fire with the sound of closing the door at the moment.

Turn on the ventilation fan and bathroom heater again, Gu Lie stood in front of the mirror, smoking leisurely, and sighed: "It turns out that this is the romantic affairs of his parents!"

"Xiao Lie, why don't you boil water yet?" Wang Xiaomei in the kitchen saw that the water heater was not moving for a long time, so she came out of the toilet door and said, "Stop playing, I'll get the pot after I'll copy my hands!"

Gu Lie almost choked by the cigarette and quickly responded: "I understand, grandma."

Hot water poured out of the showerhead. Gu Lie looked at the splashing water and smoked cigarettes, and said helplessly: "It seems that rebirth is not everything comfortable! You have to hide from smoking."
