Chapter 88 Chapter 88
Jia Kaiqian drank too much at night, and when he got up at night, his steps were unsteady, and he accidentally fell in the yard and broke his right leg.
Jia Yourui only found out about this after the exam.
......
The last exam was over.
After the exam, Jia Yourui was refreshed, and all the mental pressure disappeared immediately. She walked lightly and fast, as if she was floating.
Jia Yourui tied a thick braid, smiled, and carried a cotton bag with several notebooks and two pencils, trotting towards the school gate.
She was like a beautiful scenery, attracting the attention of people walking on the path, thinking that this girl was really pleasing to the eye.
Jia Guoye naturally came to the school gate early to wait for Jia Yourui to come out.
He found a secluded corner, sat down, put his hands on his knees, and had nothing to do, so he closed his eyes and slept to pass the time.
I don't know how long he slept, but Jia Guoye was awakened by noisy conversations.
The door was full of parents waiting for their children to finish their exams or get out of school. At this moment, they were already discussing their children's conditions and trivial matters in life.
Jia Guoye rubbed his tired brows with his palm, took out a cigarette bag and firewood from his pocket with one hand, half-closed his eyes, and smoked a cigarette to wake himself up.
Jia Guoye was halfway through smoking a cigarette.
"Ding-ling-ling!"
"Ding-ling-ling!"
The harsh and heart-pounding bells for the end of exams and school rang, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became hot.
Several parents had already rushed to the school gate. If the guard hadn't stopped them from entering, the impatient parents would have already reached the door of the examination room.
Jia Guoye put out the cigarette he hadn't finished smoking, crumpled the rolled cigarette into a ball, and put it in his pocket. Then he stood up and walked towards the school gate.
Jia Yourui always attracts attention. Before she left the school gate, Jia Guoye saw her.
She smiled and waved to him, revealing a lively and excited look.
Now that there are no exams, Jia Yourui, who has put down the heavy burden of recent days, wants to fly to Jia Guoye and tell him how difficult her life has been recently.
Maybe it is because Jia Yourui's appearance is too eye-catching, or maybe it is because of Jia Guoye's disfigured face and somewhat gloomy aura, they have been looked at many times.
The two people are very different in appearance, temperament, and clothing. The only thing that can be seen is that the taciturn young man dotes on this beautiful girl who is like a fairy in the sky.
When the girl went in to take the exam, he always waited alone in a corner. After the girl came out, there was warmth in his eyes. He spoke softly when talking to the little girl, and took the schoolbag in his hand and carried it.
Everyone guessed that he was a brother who doted on his sister very much.
Regardless of Jia Guoye's obvious aloofness and indifference, a curious person asked him, "Are you here to send your sister to the exam?"
Jia Guoye said in a flat tone, "Yes."
He was obviously a cold person, and the person who talked to him felt boring and stopped bothering Jia Guoye.
Life in the county is pretty good. There are no rumors like in the village, no mocking or staring eyes. Everyone is a stranger and there is not so much discussion.
Being Xiaorui's brother is also pretty good, and Jia Guoye is quite satisfied with this identity.
It is better to be a brother who can take care of her and be relied on by her than to be nothing.
Looking at Jia Yourui who was coming towards him with smiling eyes, Jia Guoye also smiled. He opened his arms to welcome Jia Yourui who excitedly rushed to him and grabbed his shoulders.
"I've finished the exam!"
He nodded.
"Where are we going? I'm so hungry, I want to eat noodles."
Jia Guoye picked up her shoulder bag, and seeing her bright eyes, his mood also became better.
He said, "Come on, brother will take you to a restaurant."
"Brother?" Jia Yourui was confused, "What..." She didn't understand why Jia Guoye suddenly called himself that, "What else do you want to eat besides noodles, do you want green bean cake?" But before she had time to wonder, Jia Yourui was attracted by Jia Guoye's words.
"Yes, yes, yes." Hungry Jia Yourui nodded repeatedly. She tilted her head back, and her wrinkled face made a pitiful expression. She was very coquettish and started to complain to Jia Guoye: "I've been so hard lately. You must buy me a lot of delicious food, okay?"
"Okay." Jia Guoye was amused by her and couldn't help but touch her head. "Eat more, gain some weight, don't be thin anymore, don't let others think I'm abusing you."
Jia Yourui had no appetite during the period of preparing for the exam, and now she finally took the initiative to say that she was hungry. Her palm-sized face became thinner, and people wanted to feed her.
…
Although Jia Yourui was complaining about being hungry, her appetite was there. After eating a bowl of noodles that Jia Guoye bought for her, she was already full. When they
arrived at the grocery store, Jia Yourui said, "Let's buy some cakes for Xiaojun. He really helped me a lot. I am very grateful to him." Fortunately, Xiaojun helped her sort out the knowledge points and ideas, so that Jia Yourui could learn more efficiently.
"Okay, go and choose some of your favorite food, and I will pay later." Jia Guoye said to her.
Jia Yourui happily went to choose cakes.
…
Jia Guoye pointed at the maltose displayed on the glass counter and said to the salesperson, "I'll take two cans."
The salesperson couldn't help but look at him twice more, thinking that one should not judge a person by his appearance. Although this man was dressed a little shabby and casual, he was very generous
. Jia Guoye went to find Jia Yourui with the net bag of maltose. She had also chosen two pastries wrapped in oil paper. When she saw him coming, she asked him to pay quickly.
"Guoye, why did you buy so much maltose?" Jia Yourui thought, is it for her to eat? In that case, there is no need to buy two cans.
Jia Guoye then told her, "You take a can to replenish yourself, and we will take another can to see Dad. He fell and broke his leg two days ago, and now he is lying in bed to recuperate. Let's go see him."
"Ah?" Jia Yourui asked anxiously, "What happened? Why did Dad fall? Is it serious?"
"It's okay." Jia Guoye comforted her, "Don't worry, the doctor said that he will be able to walk after lying in bed for a month or so."
Jia Yourui was so anxious that she was a little confused, her eyes red, "Let's go, let's go back quickly."
Jia Guoye put the cakes he bought into a cloth bag and put it on his shoulder. He held two bottles of malt extract in his right hand and held Jia Yourui's hand with his left hand.
The warm and rough big hand gave Jia Yourui a sense of security, and the two of them walked towards home.
