Chapter 5 Green skirt
As soon as the sky was dawn, Xu Changsheng got up. He didn't sleep well last night and had nightmares. He woke up several times and is now awakened again. The sky is already dark, so he just got up.
Fortunately, it didn't continue to rain today, but it was just gloomy. This is the weather in the spring of the town.
After one night, Xu Changsheng felt a little better, as long as no one mentioned it.
After eating some leftovers from last night, I went to Li Tui’s tofu shop. Xu Changsheng got up early and also carried some remote alleys. He didn’t meet a few people along the way.
When he arrived at Li Tui's tofu shop, the door was still not open. Xu Changsheng walked around the back door and found that Li Ruan was the only one working in the kitchen. Li Tui probably hadn't gotten up yet.
"Why did Xiao Changsheng come so early today?" Li Ruan seemed to have no idea what happened yesterday and smiled as usual.
But Xu Changsheng was still a little embarrassed, lowered his head slightly and said, "I got up early today and I have nothing to do at home, so I came here."
"Okay, then Changsheng wait a moment, I'll prepare today's tofu." As he said that, he turned to clean up.
Xu Changsheng hurried in and helped together. The two of them were always faster than the other. Seeing this, Li Ruan smiled slightly and touched his head.
Xu Changsheng also looked up and smiled at Li Ruo. Somehow, when he saw Li Ruo's smile, his heart suddenly became much calmer.
When Xu Changsheng was about to step out of the door with the tofu in his arms, Li Tui slowly came down from the floor. Seeing that Xu Changsheng seemed to have suddenly remembered something, but when he said that he suddenly forgot it. He had been brewing for a long time, but he had to ask Xu Changsheng to come back after sending the tofu.
Xu Changsheng thought about it and must not dare to "steal classes" again today, and there was nothing else, so he agreed.
After Xu Changsheng left, Li Ruan gave Li a blank look and said, "Dad, you are stupid by drinking, right?"
Li Tui was not happy, "Is there anyone who said that to you? I'm a little confused when I just got up."
After saying that, a pot of old wine on the counter in the distance came to Li Tui's hand. He raised his hand, took a big sip, burped, and said happily: "Okay, I remember now."
Whenever Xu Changsheng went to a family, he turned around and ran away after delivering the tofu, without giving the other party any chance to talk, for fear that the other party would ask about what happened yesterday.
But there was nothing I could do when I arrived at Hehua Lane, because there was still the tofu from Gu Lingqing's family today. Although Xu Changsheng had specially kept it for the end, he still had to give it away, right? Xu Changsheng suspected that this was specially ordered by Gu Lingqing. He had never ordered the tofu from Li Tui's family before, but he suddenly ordered it today, maybe just to let Xu Changsheng come to his house.
So Xu Changsheng could only knock on Gu Lingqing's door with his teeth. It seemed that Gu Lingqing was waiting at the door. When Xu Changsheng knocked, Gu Lingqing opened the door and poked his head out of it. When he saw that it was Xu Changsheng, he looked happy and then opened the door wide and walked out openly.
"Oh, isn't this Xu Changsheng, who was stealing classes yesterday, who was so embarrassed to come out and run around. It turns out that he is not raised by his mother, so shameless, hahahaha." Gu Lingqing pointed at Xu Changsheng without any concealment and said loudly, not taking the tofu in Xu Changsheng's hand.
I don’t know if it’s shy or angry, but Xu Changsheng’s little face turned red, but he didn’t know how to argue. He just clenched his fists.
Lu Pin and Peng Qiming, not far away, also heard Gu Lingqing's voice, walked out of their homes, and mocked Xu Changsheng.
Xu Changsheng didn't say anything, as if he suddenly calmed down. He just stared at the three people opposite him and slowly placed the tofu under Gu Lingqing's feet. He turned his head and left with big strides, but his steps were a little stiff, as if he was imprisoning something.
Gu Lingqing and the other two were still pointing at Xu Changsheng's back and laughing. They waited until they could no longer see Xu Changsheng.
Home, Xu Changsheng started running in a place where no one was around, as if he could only calm down when he was running.
I stopped when I got on the street and started walking slowly, but I lowered my head, for fear of being recognized by others.
Suddenly, a pair of familiar figures seemed to be walking past the front, but they turned to another street. Xu Changsheng hesitated for a moment and followed.
After following me, I realized that I was not wrong. Su Sheng and Sun Yuexuan were walking on the street in front, wandering around casually. Most of the time, Su Sheng was walking in front, and then he took a fancy to something. Then Sun Yuexuan jumped over inside, and her cute ponytails were swaying behind her.
After watching for a while, Xu Changsheng turned around and left, but he didn't expect that Su Sheng would fall in love with Sun Yuexuan quietly. However, it was normal. They were both at the age of beginning of love, and it was normal for them to have a good impression of each other. When they turned around, they seemed to see Wu Weihu, and I don't know if they read it wrong.
When he returned to the tofu shop again, the sun was already high. Li Tui seemed to be waiting for Xu Changsheng at the door. When he saw him, he quickly called him to come over quickly, and then pulled Xu Changsheng back to the shop.
Xu Changsheng heard a sound upstairs. It was probably Li Ruan upstairs. Li Tui moved a large box out of the counter. Then he pointed to the box and said to Xu Changsheng: "This is some miscellaneous items that your sister Li Ruan had packed out of the house a few days ago. See if you can use it. If you can, I will take it back. If you can't, I will throw it away."
Xu Changsheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It was like this several times before. When his parents just passed away a few years ago, they didn't give tofu at Li Tui. In order to eat, Xu Changsheng sold most of the things that could be sold. Now a large part of the things in the family are taken back from Li Tui's house.
Xu Changsheng opened the big box and found that it was indeed some debris, all kinds of things, even some torn clothes that Li Tui had worn. Xu Changsheng turned over for a while and found a somewhat bumpy inkstone, a brush that could barely be used, and an old sickle. He took it back and grinded it, and could use it.
At this time, Li Ruan also got down from the upstairs, holding a few worn books in his arms, which made his already towering chest feel a little waking out, and even a large piece of snow-whiteness could be seen on the collar. Xu Changsheng felt a little dry and quickly lowered his head.
Li Ruan walked down and squatted in front of Xu Changsheng and said, "Little Changsheng, you don't want these books. They were all used when I went to a private school before. I remember you seemed to have been to a private school for a while back. Should you take it back and take it?"
Xu Changsheng looked at the books in Li Ruan's hands, as if they were the same as those they had taken in class by Gao Jianzhi and others. There were a few books that they hadn't even seen before, and they should be taught later.
He was worried about not going to school to attend classes, how to continue studying. After all, studying is something he loved to do since he was a child, so he couldn't leave it behind. Unexpectedly, Li Ruan had a book, so he took it and nodded vigorously.
Li Ruan stood up and grabbed Xu Changsheng's hair, and smiled and said, "I'll give it to you. This is a book I used back then. You must protect it. If I know you throw it around, I have to beat you up."
As he said that, he raised his little fist.
"No, I will definitely protect Sister Li Ruan's book well and ensure that it will not be hurt at all." Xu Changsheng was very happy and held the book in his hand tightly. For him, the books he got this time were more expensive than everything he had before.
Li Ruan was also very satisfied and continued to touch Xu Changsheng's little head, "So good."
Li Tui looked at the playful siblings and greeted him, saying that Tang Song had something to do with him, so he put on a casual dress and went out.
In fact, it goes without saying that I must have gone to drink with that guy Tang Song again. The two of them are veritable drinkers. When Li Tui didn't drink, he would go to Tang Song.
Song would come to Li Tui after drinking all his wine. I remember that it seemed that one time Tang Song had not had enough money to drink, and the shopkeeper Qian didn't want to sell alcohol to Tang Song. It was Li Tui who helped pay for the wine, so the two met because of this.
Xu Changsheng also said goodbye to Li Ruan and went home happily with Shu in his arms.
As soon as he arrived home, he found Gao Jianzhi leaning on the wall and looking at Xu Changsheng. Yesterday afternoon, he wanted to laugh at Xu Changsheng, but he didn't expect that Xu Changsheng had never left the room for an afternoon and had to give up. He didn't have to go to class today, so he got up early in the morning. Unexpectedly, Xu Changsheng went out earlier than him. So he waited there until now.
Looking at the book in Xu Changsheng's hand, Gao Jianzhi seemed to have discovered something amazing. He widened his eyes, wiped his eyes with his hands, and said, "Xu Changsheng, you are still holding the book. Could it be that you are going to school with us? Where did you get the money? You can't steal it, right? Just like this book, they were all stolen?"
Xu Changsheng didn't want to talk to him. As long as Xu Changsheng got to know him, he would be able to talk nonstop. He was like his mother's character.
So Xu Changsheng returned to the room and put down the book, took a slingshot and a few stones. Gao Jianzhi was still asking Xu Changsheng if he had stolen it.
Xu Changsheng walked out of the room, pulled the slingshot casually, and hit Gao Jianzhi with a "bang" sound, almost hitting his hand a little bit, scaring him so much that he dropped his hand and fell back to his yard.
He reacted and cursed: "Xu Changsheng, you vulgar barbarian, actually hit people with a slingshot. It seems that he has never been to school. Even if you go to school, Mr. Lu will definitely not want you." As he cursed, he seemed to remember the words in the book, saying, "It is a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a disgrace to be a
Gao's mother also heard Gao Jianzhi's screams, and hurriedly ran out and took his hand to check it carefully. After finding that it was unscathed, she still caught Xu Changsheng and scolded him.
Xu Changsheng didn't want to respond to them either. He yawned and prepared to go back and read a book. After all, he really didn't sleep well last night.
I don’t know how long I slept, but was woken up by Aunt He’s slap in the door, saying that he had asked him to go to dinner. Xu Changsheng walked to the kitchen to fill a basin of cold water, wiped his face a few times before he woke up.
During the meal, Aunt He kept holding some dishes that Xu Changsheng liked for him, but she didn't eat much, and most of the bowls of dishes were put into Xu Changsheng's stomach.
After the meal, Aunt He did not rush to clean the table as usual, but instead crossed her hands on the table, looked at Xu Changsheng with a serious look, and asked, "Changsheng, how about you tell me I'll take you to a private school?"
Xu Changsheng didn't expect Aunt He to ask this, and obviously heard what happened yesterday. But Xu Changsheng was not embarrassed in front of Aunt He, but shook his head. Aunt He was already very nice to him. He didn't want Aunt He to bear so much burden because of his schooling. You should know that the money paid for private schools is not a small number. Aunt He himself is also alone. On weekdays, he just relies on washing clothes for others, knitting some coarse cloth to sell, and exchanges for some necessities in life. Occasionally, he also buys some delicious food for Xu Changsheng to eat together. It is already difficult.
Aunt He wanted to persuade her, but Xu Changsheng quickly got up to help clean up the dishes and then took them to the kitchen with ease.
Aunt He stood in the hall and looked at Xu Changsheng's back, not knowing what he was thinking.
When Xu Changsheng returned home, he washed his hands first before slowly turning on Li Ruan's book. The first page reads Li Ruan's name, with beautiful handwriting, making people look very comfortable. Then he slowly turned to the next page and it was already the main text. Li Ruan made many comments in a dense manner. It seemed that he was still very serious in class back then.
Most of these were learned by Xu Changsheng when he was stealing the class, and he turned it quickly. Until he opened a page, Xu Changsheng found that there were also extracurricular words written in the book.
"Dianjiang lips, drooping cloudy temples, wearing my green silk skirt."
