Chapter 142 Night
Gu Huai has been serious about everything since he was a child, so he will keep this in mind.
Early the next morning, he watched Lin Jiahuan and Lin Jiale go to school from the window, thinking to himself, since the twins were together and went directly to school, nothing would happen.
In the evening, when he returned home from his busy research, the first thing he did was to go to the door of No. 43 to inquire.
Generally speaking, in the evening in Yugu Alley, every household would open their front door to fetch water for the stove and cook. The door of No. 43 Courtyard was closed tightly, and there was no movement at all. It must be that the whole family has not gone home yet.
Gu Huai was breathing a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and leave when a voice came from behind.
"Brother Xiao Huai, what are you doing sneaking around in front of my house?"
Gu Huai was startled, and when he turned around, he saw a pair of twins carrying schoolbags, looking at him in confusion.
Gu Huai suddenly blushed to the base of his ears, feeling as if he had been caught as a thief.
Moreover, he rarely played with the two little sisters from Uncle Lin's house since he was a child, and he couldn't tell which one was Lin Jiahuan and which one was Lin Jiale.
In the panic, he suddenly had an idea.
Gu Huai adjusted his glasses: "I wanted to see Uncle Lin, but there was no sound inside. I was hesitating whether to knock or not."
The man on the left raised his eyebrows and smiled: "He must not be back. Tomorrow is the third grade graduation exam. My dad is checking the examination room at this time.
"Oh." "
What do you want from my dad?" she asked again.
Gu Huai said: "It's nothing important. I went out for research today and lost my pen. I have to write a report tonight. I would like to borrow a pen."
The man on the right did not speak, opened the cover of his schoolbag and took out a beautiful pencil case. There are three pens inside.
She picked one and handed it to Gu Huai: "Take it and use it."
Gu Huai was stunned. He was just making nonsense. He was feeling a little proud and felt that he was a little quick-witted. He didn't expect Lin Jiahuan to take it seriously.
Yes, he has determined that the person on the left who is talking like a volley of words should be Lin Jiale. The one on the right has a melancholy eyebrow and seems to have many things on his mind, more like Lin Jiahuan who did the questions at his home last time.
"Don't you also have a graduation exam tomorrow?" He didn't dare to take Lin Jiahuan's pen.
Lin Jiahuan didn't say anything. She put the pen into his hand, turned around, took out the key, opened the door, and went into the yard.
Lin Jiale chuckled at Gu Huai: "Brother Xiao Huai, just take it, she has two more. Jia Huai, it's foolproof."
For some reason, Gu Huai's heart froze, and he always felt that these words were ominous . .
He took the pen home, walked a few steps, and looked back at the gate of No. 43. He suddenly felt that Lin Siwei and Gu Xia's worries were not unreasonable, and he should not just complete the tasks assigned by Gu Xia.
It was still daylight now, and Lin Jiahuan had already entered the house. Gu Huai thought that nothing would happen for the time being, so he went home with peace of mind.
However, even so, Gu Huai did not dare to close the courtyard door of his house. He stayed in the courtyard and sat close to the door when eating dinner, so that he could see the outside of the courtyard door.
When it was getting dark, Liu Yuxiu walked over with a handful of green vegetables in her hand.
When it got darker again, Lin Zhengqing rode his bicycle over, carrying a string of crisp bells.
Zhang Xiuqin noticed that her eldest grandson was unusual and asked, "Xiao Huai, are you waiting for someone?"
"No." Gu Huai panicked, "I'm done eating, I'm going upstairs."
When he got to the stairs, he thought of something again and followed him. Zhang Xiuqin shouted: "I'm going to Xiao Qia's room to write something. His desk lamp is brighter."
Gu Mingde was curious and asked Zhang Xiuqin: "Is there a desk lamp in Xiao Qia's room?"
"What the hell. If Xiao Qia likes reading, he would have bought a famous brand already. I'm in college."
"Then Xiaohuai wants to go to Xiaohua's room?"
Zhang Xiuqin winked at the old man and said in a low voice, "You don't understand this, Xiaohuai is already 24. No one, I must have gone to Xiaoqia's room to feel happy."
"Huh?" Gu Mingde almost stumbled over, "It's not like getting married and getting married, so this means you are happy."
"So you know nothing, old man. Not romantic."
"What's romantic is all foreigners' pretentiousness. I think it's too frivolous and slow."
Zhang Xiuqin rolled her eyes at him: "Forget it, I won't tell you. It's boring."
Seeing that Zhang Xiuqin was leaving, Gu Mingde said . He quit again and called her: "Hey, hey, you know, tell me, where is the joy?"
Zhang Xiuqin curled her lips, stretched out her fingers, and flicked the ashes in her nails: "Either you beg me."
"You ..." Gu
Mingde was about to jump up, but he held it back for a long time, and was finally overcome by curiosity. "Oh, you don't want to ask for anything. I'll give you five minutes. If you don't say anything, I won't listen." Then he said slowly: "There is a pot of sunflowers in Xiaoqia's room, do you want to cut them down?"
"Yes, I keep them on the windowsill. Didn't you say that they won't die, so you raised them?"
"Weiwei also has a pot at home . "You know about sunflowers."
"Of course I don't know that. I've never been to her house on Yangchuan Road."
Zhang Xiuqin was very proud: "So, this is a very mysterious power. The sunflowers in Xiaoqia's room have it." "Oh, that's it
." Gu Mingde nodded, "So, Xiaohuai also wants to get a hold of the magic power of Sunflower and recruit him?" "
That's right!" High five, I feel that the old man is finally on the right track.
Unexpectedly, Gu Mingde said "hehe": "What do I think? It turns out that this is it. If this is useful, I will go to the flower bed to pick a basket and bring back a few more for Xiaohuai." "
Then the one who is going to make a mistake is just one. !"
Gu Huai didn't know that the old couple downstairs cared so much about him. When he came to Gu Qia's room, he saw the sunflowers on the window sill.
In May, sunflowers have turned green and sprouted. Although they have not bloomed yet, they are still green and full of vitality.
Night had fallen, and he looked out of the window, somewhat condescendingly, and could see what was going on in the courtyard of No. 43.
Although Liu Yuxiu didn't like others to see her home, so she sealed the flower windows on the courtyard wall tightly, but she couldn't put a cover on her house. She couldn't hide from the scrutiny from above.
Gu Huai saw a family sitting down to have dinner from the window of No. 43. Due to the angle, he could only see their lower bodies and could not see their faces.
There were three people at first, and after a while, another one came and sat down at the table.
The last one should be Lin Jiahuan. Gu Huai thought.
There was a table by the window, so Gu Huai simply went to his room to get a lamp and sat at the table to read. And next to him is the main road of Fishbone Lane. As long as someone comes out of No. 43, they will definitely leave under his nose.
At first, Gu Huai just read Xianshu and paid attention to the movements in the alley, but gradually, he saw a Fishbone Alley that he had never paid attention to before.
The weather is getting warmer, and the old people in the alley have started their repertoire again, taking walks after meals and relaying the gossip of the day in the alley. The naughty child rolled halfway through the hoop and was carried home by his mother, grabbing his ears and saying, "Little Chi, you're still not sleeping. It's almost eight o'clock." There were also two pairs of young men and women whom he didn't know very well. They came out of different courtyard doors, walked to the dark place to meet, and then carefully held hands and talked.
Gu Huai never knew that Fishbone Lane on a spring night could be so gentle.
He felt that he had been immersed in studies for too long, and the fireworks in the world were quite intoxicating.
Somehow, he remembered the female doctor who always had toffee in her pocket when he was the provincial military commander. Later, they exchanged letters, but he was a little timid. He felt that the female doctor was majestic, but he didn't dare to speak loudly.
Gradually, the children were dragged home by their mothers, and the old people gossiping with their hands behind their hands also dispersed in twos and threes. The young men and women in the darkness returned to the entrance of the courtyard and disappeared into ordinary people's homes, leaving a lingering fragrance in the Quanjiao Building. Gu Huai, who came up, took him over.
The night is getting a bit late. The lights in the living room of No. 43 were turned off. Liu Yuxiu appeared at the bedroom window and closed the curtains. The light in the window also turned into a hazy pink through the curtains.
It should be fine. Gu Huai thought.
Still, stay a little longer. The breeze gently blew the curtains, and the clear light of the moon smeared the window sill with a slight layer of white frost. Gu Huai fell in love with this moonlight.
Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed through the door of No. 43's house. Gu Huai immediately adjusted his glasses and found that the door of No. 43's house quietly opened. A bronze medal hanging on the door reflected a glimmer of light, which disappeared in an instant.
Gu Huai suddenly became excited and couldn't help but stand up.
I saw a figure walking out in the night, carefully opening the courtyard door, then turning back and closing it again.
Those two braids must belong to Lin Jiahuan.
Seeing Lin Jiahuan walking towards this side, Gu Huai immediately rushed downstairs and looked through the gap in the courtyard door as Lin Jiahuan walked through the gap.
Counting the time, it was time to walk out a few dozen meters. Gu Huai quietly opened the courtyard door and followed Lin Jiahuan.
Lin Siwei and Gu Qia's guess was absolutely correct. Lin Jiahuan had really lost his mind.
After dinner, Lin Zhengqing and Liu Yuxiu both said, go to bed early, there will be an exam tomorrow, so just pack lightly.
Moreover, Liu Yuxiu hugged her two daughters one by one.
Lin Zhengqing said: "Your mother and I are both busy tomorrow and can't send you to take the exam, but I believe you will perform exceptionally well. I'm waiting for you at No. 1 Middle School."
Lin Jiale chuckled and hugged Liu Yuxiu's neck: "What's the reward for getting admitted to the No. 1 Middle School?"
Liu Yuxiu said with a smile, "Do you want to take you to Haicheng?"
"Okay! It's a deal!" Lin Jiale let go of Liu Yuxiu's neck and shouted, "I want to eat White Rabbit, if you buy it for me, you can go to many, many places."
After all, she is still a junior high school student, and she only knows what is good about a new and big city like Haicheng, but she doesn't know what is good about it.
Liu Yuxiu promised Lin Jiahuan while patting Lin Jiahuan on the shoulder: "Mom is most worried about you. Don't be stressed. Tomorrow is the most important battle. After tomorrow, everything will be fine."
Originally, Lin Jiahuan was a little relaxed . My heart suddenly tightened again.
She felt a little out of breath. Even though she and Lin Jiale went to bed early and listened to Lin Jiale's even breathing, she didn't feel sleepy at all.
