The car that drove back immediately became a hot topic in Gumula Village.
The next morning, when Xiaoqi took the village bus, everyone in the car was talking about it.
Xiaoqi thought it was great, otherwise the topic would still be about her. She was not used to this kind of attention in the village.
I have to get up very early every time I go into the city.
Xiao Qi, who was sitting in the corner, closed his eyes and rested, but he did not fall asleep because everyone was too excited chatting.
"Juanzi's car costs 180,000 yuan. Dayong, I remember your car was only about 40,000 yuan when you bought it new. Juanzi's car can buy four of yours."
"Old Zhang's daughter really made money."
"I heard their company opened a platform and made money from it."
“It’s not a stand, it’s a platform.”
"Is it legal?"
"Juanzi is my niece. I've watched her grow up. She definitely wouldn't do anything illegal. How could she afford a car if it wasn't legal? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. You're a college student, right?"
Xiaoqi was already swaying and almost falling asleep, but was forcibly woken up.
Xiao Qi: ...
Yesterday afternoon, Zhang Juan came to her house to see her. She was very polite and enthusiastic, which made Xiaoqi feel very uncomfortable.
I have encountered such people in society, but the person in front of me is my classmate, who grew up with me. It feels very strange that he suddenly becomes so polite, a little flattering, and a little showing off.
They chatted for a short while, and when it was time for dinner, Zhang Juan went back.
"I fell asleep and didn't hear what you said." Xiao Qi opened his hazy eyes and said.
According to seniority, Xiaoqi should call this auntie "Auntie". She is a person who gossips a lot and likes to spread rumors.
In the past, she would definitely repeat it and let Xiao Qi speak. No matter what Xiao Qi said, she would repeat it later, saying that the college students said this, and this is what the college students said...
But looking at the girl next to her at this moment, for some reason, she frowned coldly, which made her feel that he was not easy to mess with. She said with an embarrassed expression: "Nothing, you continue to sleep."
Xiao Qi didn't hesitate and closed his eyes to continue resting.
The car seemed to be quiet for a while, but after a while it slowly became lively again, and the topic was changed awkwardly.
The driver Dayong happened to see Su Xiaoqi resting with her eyes closed in the back of the car through the front mirror and chuckled.
He used to be a very successful driver in the village, but today he was used as a stepping stone. Whenever people talked about Juanzi's car, they would also mention his car.
Xiaoqi was really sleepy.
If you are praised at home, you will feel elated and even have the illusion that you are a successful person.
The praise from the villagers and elders seemed particularly simple and touching.
But yesterday afternoon, after experiencing the scene where everyone was exclaiming in praise of Zhang Juan who came back driving a car, Xiao Qi's heart finally calmed down a little. Then, before going to bed, he was able to calmly review his Japanese book.
But the night at home was exceptionally quiet. I felt a little sleepy at first, but after a while, I couldn’t fall asleep again.
I lifted a corner of the plastic sheet on the window, hoping to feel some cool night breeze. I didn't feel any wind, but there was an unknown sound, which might be the sound of an insect nearby.
If you listen more carefully, you can hear the sound of water in the river in front of the downstairs door.
I just fell asleep in a daze, and I found myself being woken up by my mother, who was actually asking me to get up and get ready to go out.
I'm really sleepy.
At times like this, I would think, if only I had a car.
How could she afford a car then? She didn’t even feel comfortable taking a taxi home.
After all, you have to have the ability to make money to feel justified.
She was lost in thought, swaying and seemingly falling asleep. They were probably almost at Huanghe Town, and there was a signal. Xiaoqi felt the phone in her pocket shaking for a while, but she ignored it and continued to sleep.
In fact, Qi Wei, who was traveling in Japan, came back. A few big boys did not fulfill their wish to travel in Japan for a long time, and did not have a very good time. Qi Wei was also eager to go home.
Unexpectedly, when he came back and contacted Xiaoqi several times, there was no news. He finally went crazy and even called, but the call was unanswered. He thought he was blocked.
In fact, Xiaoqi just happened to go home. The signal in Gumula Village was not good. The signal at his grandmother's house in Shangxie Village was not working with China Unicom, but China Mobile was okay. Xiaoqi happened to have a China Unicom number, so the phone he took back was like a brick.
Finally arrived in Lushan City.
When I opened the car door, the smell of gasoline hit me in the face, which seemed inexplicably familiar.
She is actually more adapted to Lushan City now, and Gumula Village seems to have become her port. She is a ship. Although it is safe when anchored in the port, what she wants more is to sail on the sea and ride the wind and waves.
Xiaoqi paid the fare and left.
I picked up a big bag of vegetables and rice from home. I didn’t plan to take a bus. It was still early, so it was just right to walk back.
Driver Dayong had to go into the city for something today. He thought Su Xiaoqi was going to take the bus, but he didn't expect to see her walking alone on the bridge.
The morning sun stretched her shadow very long.
Parking is not allowed on the bridge. Dayong took a look and continued driving forward.
Xiaoqi returned to his aunt's dormitory and felt very close to her. He felt uncomfortable after only being away for a few days.
My aunt didn't touch the textbooks and books on the table and wiped the table clean.
After Xiao Qi put away the rice and vegetables he had brought, he saw Brother Lin Min next door.
Brother Lin Ming from next door didn't go out and even greeted her.
Xiaoqi happened to have a lot of sweet potatoes at home, which were dug by his father yesterday. The ones with evenly pointed heads and tails and not broken were kept for people to eat, and the rest were kept to feed the pigs.
Freshly dug sweet potatoes can be washed, peeled and eaten raw, just like apples, but not as sweet as apples. They have a starchy taste and are also delicious when steamed. My aunt likes to eat sweet potato rice. It is very filling and is what people now call a coarse grain, which is healthy.
Xiaoqi packed a bag of sweet potatoes and gave it to Brother Lin Ming.
"I dug a lot from the field at home yesterday." Xiao Qi was sincerely grateful to him. After all, every time he saw Brother Lin Ming, he would inexplicably receive a lot of benefits.
Lin Min felt a little embarrassed.
Even when accepting Sister An's expensive gift, he was not so flustered.
Moreover, Xiao Qi openly said that she dug it out from the ground. Lin Min felt inexplicably ashamed. He was too embarrassed to tell others that his mother was a sesame cake seller and his father was a nurse in the hospital. He was always silent and seemed aloof, but in fact, his aloofness was just a disguise for his inferiority complex.
He took the sweet potato and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten." She had to catch the six o'clock bus, and her parents had been up at least four o'clock to cook, so they made sure she was full before leaving.
However, it was too early to eat at five o'clock. After Xiaoqi finished eating, his stomach actually growled in response, indicating that he was hungry again.
She smiled awkwardly, her appetite had increased a bit recently.
She went back to the room to pack her schoolbag, but decided to go to the library because the study atmosphere in the library was better.
Just as she finished cleaning up, Lin Min came knocking on the door and handed her two cakes. He must have just run out to get them. His mother had just baked them and they were still hot.
Xiaoqi likes to eat the scones made by Lin Min’s mother. The technique of making these scones is amazing. She has never eaten anything better. Even though she is picky about her sense of smell and taste now, she still thinks they are delicious.
"You're going out, take this to eat on the way." As Brother Lin Ming spoke, the long-lost mechanical voice in Xiao Qi's mind rang out again: "The host gives the blackened boy a gift earned through his own labor. This will bring him a touch of positive energy, slow down his darkening speed, and reward him with improved jumping ability. Although the optimized host may not be as agile as a monkey, it is comparable to a panda."
Su Xiaoqi: ...
