Liu Weicheng, who came home from the stall at noon, felt it most closely. The collar of his clothes was soaked with sweat, and the stickiness stuck to his skin. The feeling was not very good.
He thought about going back and washing his body with water. Just thinking of this, he pedaled harder while riding the stall.
The weekend seems to have gone by in the blink of an eye.
During the day, he tutored Zhao Xuanying's two friends. At night, Liu Weicheng went to a nearby snack street to set up a stall. Although the customer flow was not as good as when he was at school, it did not leave him with no income at all on Saturdays and Sundays. .
Riding the stall home, Liu Weicheng locked the stall and went straight upstairs.
I picked a change of clothes, put the clothes I had worn all morning into a basin filled with water, poured some washing powder, and ran downstairs with soap.
Nowadays, the place where he lives is not only remote, but also the equipment is relatively old.
The small houses do not have separate kitchens and bathrooms. There is a cooking place set up at the door of each house. To use the toilet, you have to go to a public toilet not far away, or you have to prepare a spittoon in the house.
As for taking a bath, there are all kinds of strange methods, each showing its own unique abilities.
The men's shower room is separated by a wooden board in the corner, while the women's shower room is in a renovated shower room on the first floor.
Liu Weicheng often saw Zhao Xuanying taking a basin to the bathroom to take a bath after returning home from school.
Although the conditions are simple, this girl pays great attention to personal hygiene.
After all, the men's shower room was a bit crude, with only a wooden board as a cover. Liu Weicheng washed it very quickly, wiped it clean after washing with soap and returned to the room.
The gauze on the top of the head has been removed. Although the scar has not completely fallen off, it does not affect daily washing.
Lying on the bed that had been replaced by a mat, Liu Weicheng rarely had time to relax.
In the era before smartphones, he would not have to live with his mobile phone all day long. He spread his hands out on the bed and looked straight at the ceiling in front of him.
He stared at the uncleaned cobwebs in the corner, and it wasn't until a series of ringtones came from the cell phone placed beside the bed that he was pulled back from his reverie.
He stood up and held the phone in his hand.
Seeing the caller displayed on the screen, Li Shiyi's name came into view.
Having already noted the other party's phone number, when he saw the other party calling again, the first thought that came to his mind was that Wu Yong was at his door again.
But it's only been two days, and that guy has made a comeback so quickly?
With such worries, Liu Weicheng quickly answered the phone, put it to his ear and asked hurriedly.
"What happened again? Did he pass by again?"
【No, no...I'm at work.】
"work……"
After repeating it, Liu Weicheng thought of the supermarket where Li Shiyi worked.
After receiving the other party's reply, he seemed to be relieved.
He moved his body and leaned against the wall beside the bed.
"That's fine if you don't. Then why are you calling this time?"
【I...want to ask you something.】
"..."
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became lower. Perhaps Li Shiyi herself was too embarrassed to continue troublesome Liu Weicheng.
It can be said that there is insufficient confidence.
When he heard that the other party had something to ask of him, Liu Weicheng also fell into deep thought.
Although when I left the other party's house on Friday, I said "call me anytime if you need help with anything", but I can't help you with everything.
This woman named Li Shiyi...is really not polite at all.
Although he thought so in his heart, Liu Weicheng did not express his true thoughts to the other end of the phone.
On the contrary, after the silence ended, he pretended to be relaxed and asked.
"If I can help, just say so."
【Yes, that is...】
Not knowing what kind of thing it was, Li Shiyi seemed to find it difficult to speak.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally told me on the phone that he wanted Liu Weicheng's help.
[There is a parent-child activity in the kindergarten, and I can’t leave at work...Yesterday, Yunyun’s teacher told me that although the child said it’s okay if no one goes, but...the other children are accompanied by adults, and Yunyun herself
How pitiful it is to be alone...]
"..."
Liu Weicheng said nothing.
[Then I told the teacher that my brother could go...I'm sorry, I really can't find anyone else to go, so can I trouble you, just this time, really!]
Perhaps Li Shiyi on the other end of the phone felt that it was not good to ask someone she had only met a few times, but she was eager to protect her son and finally mustered up the courage to get through the call.
Liu Weicheng, who heard all these words, froze on the bed.
The moment he received Li Shiyi's call, all kinds of questions came to his mind, but there was no possibility of parent-child activities.
On a hot day, I went to accompany a group of children who couldn't do addition and subtraction fluently. When I thought of this, Liu Weicheng planned to refuse.
But the words of rejection felt like they were stuck in my throat, and I couldn't say them out.
Especially when I think of that little girl Yunyun carefully putting a band-aid on herself and then reading a picture book to her from behind...
Closing his eyes tightly, Liu Weicheng didn't know how long he had been silent.
Finally, he said "hmm".
When Li Shiyi on the other end of the phone heard Liu Weicheng's agreeable answer, she had been worried about the other party's rejection and asked an incredible question.
【real?】
"I'll just go over there. I'll be fine before night anyway."
[It’s too troublesome for you. I was worried that it would disturb you in setting up the stall... Great, now Yunyun is not alone. By the way, I will tell you the address of the kindergarten, it is...]
The address of the kindergarten came to his ears, and Liu Weicheng knew how to get there.
It sounded like someone on the other end of the phone was calling Li Shiyi to work. After she responded, she turned to Liu Weicheng and said many words of thanks.
As the call was hung up, Liu Weicheng stared blankly at the cell phone in his hand.
After a long time, he sighed.
He got out of bed and prepared to pick out the most decent outfit from the few clothes he had left.
After all, it was a parent-child event similar to a parent-teacher meeting. He had been alone in his previous life, so he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Fortunately, I just took a shower before going home.
After tidying up a little, Liu Weicheng came to the table and picked up the upside-down mirror.
His young, increasingly handsome face was reflected in the mirror.
He pursed his lips and looked at his teeth.
After making sure there were no problems, he left the room and strode towards the kindergarten.
