The sky outside is a bit overcast and the wind is a bit strong. The ground in the yard is covered with fallen ginkgo leaves, like a golden blanket.
Mr. Gong is used to getting up early. Although the weather is bad, he still insists on boxing in the corridor.
Seeing Gong Xue, he slowed down his movements and asked with a smile: "Want to go out?"
"Yeah. I made an appointment with my classmates to go out to play." Gong Xue wore a blue sportswear, with the end of her short ponytail brushing against her collar.
She didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave. She made tea on the tea table on the side, and then handed the sweat towel to her grandfather who had finished his exercise.
"Wipe it, be careful of catching a cold."
Mr. Gong wiped his sweat and smiled contentedly.
"Xiaoxue is still considerate."
Gong Xue put her arm into Grandpa's arm and said with a smile: "Of course, I am Grandpa's little cotton-padded jacket."
Mr. Gong rubbed her head lovingly, "Do you have enough money? If not, grandpa can support you."
She grinned, patted her pockets, and said confidently: "I have money!"
In addition to the living expenses that her parents put on the card every month, and the pocket money that her grandfather forced on her, she has accumulated a small amount of savings over the past few years. Normally, she doesn't spend much money, and the most extravagant behavior is just occasionally.
Invite Su Lianlian to McDonald's and a Western-style steak set meal.
She brought enough money today, not to mention skating, it was more than enough to treat Shi Jingtian's brothers to a big dinner.
Gong Xue's mother was going to the train station to pick up her ticket, so she happened to take Gong Xue to the street corner of Su Lianlian's house.
After waving goodbye to her mother, she walked briskly into the family courtyard of the Water and Electricity Engineering Bureau.
Three generations of Su Lianlian's family live together, and the five members of her family live in an old house of more than 50 square meters.
Su Lianlian's mother opened the door and saw Gong Xue, with a smile on her tired face, "Xiaoxue is here."
"Hello, Auntie." She put the fruits and nutritional supplements she bought outside into the hands of Su Lianlian's mother.
The house is filled with the smell of food.
Su Lianlian hurriedly ran out of the kitchen while taking off her apron.
"Xiaoxue, wait for me." Their eyes met in the air and they exchanged a tacit look.
Su Lianlian's home was very close to the Workers' Cultural Palace. They passed through a dirty street and saw the gray arched roof of the Cultural Palace.
Shi Jingtian was waiting at the entrance of the roller skating rink very early. The autumn wind was still quite cool. He leaned against the ticket window and chatted with Xie Fei and Zhang Zikang.
When Gong Xue and Su Lianlian arrived, Shi Jingtian looked at his watch.
The hour hand pointed to half past nine, they were on time.
Shi Jingtian had already bought the tickets.
There are 6 tickets in total, including those of Gong Xue and Su Lianlian.
Gong Xue took the ticket from Shi Jingtian and handed him twenty yuan.
He squinted his eyes, stared at the money in his hand, looked at it for a while, and then silently put it in his trouser pocket.
Xie Fei couldn't see it and wanted to complain about the boss, but as soon as he met Gong Xue's dark eyes, he immediately shrank his neck and subconsciously blocked his front crotch with his hands, making no sound.
It was still early and there were not many people in the roller skating rink.
Several people changed into skates and left the field one after another.
Gong Xue was not proficient in roller skating and had only skated twice, let alone Su Lianlian, who had never been to such a place.
She gingerly held Gong Xue's arm, moved step by step, and shouted in a trembling voice: "I'm going to fall... I'm going to fall..."
