The meal ended with a phone call, and Gu Nianxi was grateful to the person who called the big benefactor.
When leaving Qian Qian Yimeng, Gu Nianxi and Su Yuheng walked out of the restaurant door one after another.
After the two parted ways, Gu Nianxi took a taxi home.
Gu Nianxi got off the car at the intersection near her home. Gu Nianxi walked happily to the dry cleaners to pick up clothes.
On the way to the dry cleaning shop, Gu Nianxi met several neighbors. Everyone smiled and greeted her when they saw her.
From a distance, the neighbor Auntie Xie came towards her carrying vegetables. She saw Gu Nianxi with a smile on her face.
"Nian Nian is off work."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"How are you lately? Have a good rest and don't be too tired." Aunt Xie warned Gu Nianxi with concern.
"It's fine now. Thank you, auntie, for caring." Gu Nianxi replied politely.
"By the way, I heard that you are getting married soon. You must invite your aunt to have a wedding banquet. I heard that the other party is also a doctor. A good doctor, a good doctor. You must live a good life after getting married."
"Thank you, auntie. I will definitely send you an invitation then."
"By the way, Nian Nian, you take this home, Auntie bought a lot." Aunt Xie brought a bag of bananas and stuffed them into Gu Nianxi's hand.
"Auntie, no, you can take it back to Xiaosong to eat." Gu Nianxi declined her kindness.
"Xiao Song has some food. You can take it home to eat. Say hello to your father for me. Auntie is leaving." Auntie Xie stuffed the bag into Gu Nianxi's hand, turned around and left.
"Good boy, auntie will go back and cook first."
"Thank you, aunt! Goodbye, aunt."
After watching Aunt Xie leave, Gu Nianxi continued walking to the dry cleaning shop with a smile on her face. The dry cleaning shop was at the other end of the street, very close to her home.
This street is where Gu Nianxi has lived since he was born. Even his father has lived here since he was born, and has lived here for most of his life.
The two-story bungalows on both sides of the street are all buildings left over from the Republic of China. Every household once belonged to a prominent family. Locals know that Jiangping Road in Wujiang District is a place that no matter how much money you spend, it is a place you can’t buy, just like the ones near the Forbidden City in Beijing.
The courtyard houses are all private residences passed down from ancestors.
The Gu family is a scholarly family, with ancestors who have been ranked first and second in the rankings. The highest official position is the prince and the tutor, and the youngest is a scholar. Nowadays, the relatives of the Gu family include calligraphers, painters and writers, and Gu Nianxi's father is the most famous.
No future.
After Gu Yuanzhi graduated from J University, he went to work at E University in order to pursue the female students of E University. At that time, Gu Nianxi's grandfather was the principal of T University. He fully hoped that Gu Yuanzhi could contribute to J University, but he went there on his own initiative.
Grandpa Gu Nianxi was so angry that he wanted to break off the father-son relationship with him when he became a teacher at E University.
The female student who made Gu Yuanzhi fall in love was Gu Nianxi's mother Tang Ning. After their encounter at the youth skating rink, Gu Yuanzhi used the first-come-first-served strategy to catch Tang Ning, who was in her sophomore year.
The Gu family only had one son in Father Gu's generation, and Father Gu was under the pressure of being a single child at that time. After having Gu Nianxi, Father Gu resolutely refused to have a second child.
Gu Nianxi's grandfather was a very enlightened elder and did not feel sorry for Gu's father.
Grandpa Gu doted on Gu Nianxi very much. When he was a child, he often carried her around this street. When some older people saw them, they would stand up on crutches and call him "Master" to say hello.
They were all much older than Grandpa Gu. Gu Nianxi remembered that some old ladies still had their little feet bound, so Grandpa Gu asked Gu Nianxi to address them as Madam and Grandpa.
Gu Nianxi has a sweet mouth and calls people from afar. They all like her very much. Every time she passes by the door of these elderly people's homes, they will call her, "Little miss, you are back." and ask her family members to give her some food and gadgets.
.
At that time, Gu Nianxi didn't know why they called them that. She didn't know the reason until she grew up.
On this street, there are several families in the neighborhood whose ancestors worked in the Gu family. A long time ago, Gu Nianxi's grandfather scattered his servants and bought them land to live in the surrounding area. He also opened a private school to teach them.
As a result, the neighbors around the family still remember the kindness of the Gu family from generation to generation.
In Gu's father's generation, Gu's father also helped the neighbors a lot. He often volunteered to help the children at home with extra classes, including Gu Nianxi, who also gave free tutoring to these children.
My father always said that it is the responsibility of a teacher to pass on the knowledge he has learned to more people.
That Xiaosong from Aunt Xie's family was helped by Gu's father for a year, and finally got admitted to one of the top ten e-universities in the country. So Aunt Xie has always been very grateful to Father Gu, and even gave Father Gu a gift that year, but Father Gu refused.
gift.
Gu Yuanzhi was a gentle man. He never accepted gifts from others, nor did he do anything unconscionable. He would always talk to Gu Nianxi with a calm smile.
"Dad hopes that the children on our street will have a good future. Your grandfather thought the same way back then."
Everyone's love for Gu Nianxi is due to the selfless dedication of the Gu family, so Gu Nianxi has been influenced by it since she was a child and is a child who is willing to help others.
This place holds so many memories for Gu Nianxi. Not only the warm neighbors here, but also the plane trees on both sides of the street make her miss her very much.
Originally, Zhao Zimu also lived here. His family lived at the other end of the street. It only took two minutes to walk to Gu's house. Zhao's father and Gu's father were childhood friends. It was because of Gu's father's encouragement and help that Zhao's father improved his academic performance.
He rushed into T University in one fell swoop and became classmates and alumni with Father Gu.
When she was a child, Zhao Zimu would wait for Gu Nianxi at the door of Gu Nianxi's house every day when she went to school. As long as she heard the sound of stones being thrown in the yard, Gu Nianxi would know that he had arrived. This was their code and a signal to remind her to go out.
Two little people, carrying schoolbags, walked around the sycamore tree on the way to school, walking through more than a dozen springs, summers, autumns and winters. Zhao Zimu was as tall as her, and suddenly he was taller than her as he walked.
A head.
In his sixth grade year, under the scorching sun, Zhao Zimu stood under the shade of a tree and asked Gu Nianxi.
"Nian Nian, will you get married in the future?"
"Yes."
"My mother said that when I grow up, if I'm not good, you won't marry me, right?"
"·······"
"So, I plan to sleep in class from today on, and be a scumbag in my own right."
"What do you mean? Zhao Zimu, don't run away!"
Ever since she was a child, Zhao Zimu had always been the guy who bullied her verbally but got beaten physically.
In his third year of junior high school, Zhao Zimu was pushing his bicycle on the way to school. Gu Nianxi was sitting in the back seat of the car, eating a popsicle.
"Why are you so generous in treating me to some popsicles today? Do you want to ask me for something?"
That day, Zhao Zimu was silent all the way. No matter what Gu Nianxi said, he remained silent and looked absent-minded.
"Zhao Zimu, what's wrong with you?" Gu Nianxi realized something was wrong with him and jumped out of the car.
"Nian Nian, my brother can no longer take you to school."
"Why?"
"I'm...going to move."
"·······"
"I... I'm going to a high school far away." He said hesitantly, it was really hard to say goodbye, "Niannian, if you go to No. 1 Middle School in the future, it would be best - Niannian,
Why are you crying? Don't cry."
Gu Nianxi jumped out of the back seat and stuffed the popsicle into his hand with red eyes, "Traitor! We agreed to take the first grade exam together!"
That day, Gu Nianxi ran away crying, leaving Zhao Zimu standing alone under the sycamore tree.
That day, Gu Nianxi decided to break off friendship with Zhao Zimu, a traitor.
…
Unknowingly, when she reached the gate of the middle school, Gu Nianxi saw a few tall boys playing basketball on the playground.
Once upon a time, Zhao Zimu also liked to play ball on this playground, and she would always be coerced and coerced by him to cheer him up to show off his charm.
I still remember that one time Zhao Zimu had a conflict with a senior boy. The boy grabbed Zhao Zimu's collar and wanted to beat him. The two started fighting. Gu Nianxi's brain was so hot that she rushed up and bit the man's arm.
That time, both she and Zhao Zimu were invited to attend the parents' meeting. Later, because she studied well, the teacher didn't give her much trouble.
On the way home, Gu's father did not blame her, but rewarded her with a piece of ice cream.
"Dad, aren't you angry?"
"When Dad was in college, he also had a fight for a good friend. Dad didn't think you did anything wrong. Instead, he saw that we Nian Nian were loyal like Dad."
Afterwards, his father told him about fighting for Uncle Su Yi. Gu Nianxi was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that her father, who was as gentle as jade, would have such a hot youth past.
"Some things experienced in youth can sometimes affect a person's life. If it hadn't been for that fight, Su Yi and I wouldn't have such a good relationship."
Su Yi is another college friend of Gu's father. He was a student who was admitted to T University from a small county town. He was the top scorer in science in the college entrance examination that year. Gu Nianxi had met this uncle when she was a child. He was even more handsome and taller than his father and Uncle Zhao.
He is tall and fair-skinned, and looks a bit like the male protagonist from a TV series.
After hearing about that fight, Zhao Zimu was severely beaten by Zhao's father when she went back. In the evening, he ran to her door with five slap marks on her face and scolded her as soon as they met.
"What's your point in a boy's fight? Why don't I, a boy, let you, a girl, protect me?"
"Zhao Zimu! You are so ungrateful. If I hadn't bit him, you would have been beaten like a human sandbag today. Don't you know who that person is? The captain of the school's discus team, everyone calls him Li Tieren!"
"Thank you for knowing that if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, please stay away! If this person is not a loving boy, will you be able to live with me for a while! How stupid!" Zhao Zimu complained in his mouth, but in his heart
But I was moved to death.
"Take it."
"What?"
Gu Nianxi took the thing that Zhao Zimu put into her hand. This was not the doll she could not pick up the last time they went out to pick up dolls.
"Can you pinch it?"
"I gave the boss 50 yuan, and the boss sold it to me."
"Can it still be like this?" Gu Nianxi looked at the avocado doll in her hand, "Thank you, brother."
"I'm going back, don't be so impulsive in the future, do you hear me?"
"oh."
Zhao Zimu turned around and went home, with a smile that made his cheek hurt.
Who knows, he spent two hundred coins on this broken doll.
Gu Nianxi was so angry that he ignored Zhao Zimu for a week. It was the last week before the high school entrance examination. Suddenly one day, the teacher changed their seats.
"Zhao Zimu, you and Chen Chen change seats and sit with Gu Nianxi."
When Zhao Zimu stood next to Gu Nianxi, Gu Nianxi once wondered whether the teacher had been bribed by him.
The head teacher was worried about their puppy love and transferred him to another position in the second year of junior high school. At the last moment, he transferred the ancestor back again! How could this make her study with peace of mind!
"Nian Nian, look, what food did your brother bring you?"
"You pity my poor brother, please pay attention to him."
