Chapter 14 Chapter 14 The dace tofu and wolfberry soup is thick and white in color...
The person who came was Su Youzi who had returned.
Su Youzi had a smug smile on his face, his eyes sparkling with the light of a successful villain. He pointed at Yao Meiyu with the teapot in his hand, but turned his head and said to the direction behind him: "Xixi, it's her! That's what she said!"
After saying this, Su Youzi turned sideways.
A young girl wearing a beautiful red striped blagi dress and a headband of the same color as the dress appeared in front of everyone.
When Yao Meiyu saw the person coming, she immediately looked embarrassed and called out awkwardly, "He Wanqian..."
In fact, when Su Tianli saw this young woman for the first time, she had already guessed that she was He Wanqian.
But Su Tianli didn't dare to recognize him.
Because the He Wanqian in front of her was very different from the He Wanqian in her memory.
The main difference is in temperament.
In the past, He Wanqian had a pale, sickly, and quiet feeling, and she was as quiet as a chrysanthemum;
The girl in front of me, He Wanqian, had her hair permed, her lips painted with bright red lipstick, and she was wearing a red striped dress...
Well,
How to say it?
There is a feeling of being very deliberate and making oneself stand out.
Su Tianli frowned unconsciously.
He Wanqian stood at the door of the Su family. After looking around, her eyes were fixed on a beautiful unfamiliar girl.
——The girl sat lazily at the dining table, wearing a half-worn sleeveless vertical striped top, revealing a pair of snow-white slender arms;
She was born with bright eyes and a kind face. Even without makeup, her almond-shaped eyes were large and clear, and her red lips were beautifully shaped and full...
He Wanqian recognized her almost at first sight - this young girl was Su Tianli!
She clenched her teeth and even clenched her hands into fists.
He Wanqian was shouting in dissatisfaction!
Why?
In this life, she had obviously found a way to get Su Mingli to go to the countryside, but she did not follow the established route in the previous life to go to the beautiful Jiangxi to join the production team;
Instead, Su Tianli was sent to the poor and remote Northwest!
But why did Su Tianli come back?
Why didn't she die outside?
And when she came back...
She has grown even fairer and more beautiful than in her previous life, when she just returned from Jiangxi!
Did Su Tianli really go to the Northwest?
She must have been recuperating in a retirement home for five years!
Otherwise, how could she be so beautiful and flamboyant?
At this time, Yao Meiyu was uneasy.
She didn't expect Su Youzi to be so mean!
Didn't she just learn a few words from He Wanqian?
Is it necessary for Su Youzi to call He Wanqian over?
However, Yao Meiyu felt that she was indeed talking about people behind their backs, so she stood up uneasily and was about to speak up to apologize to He Wanqian.
Su Tianli glanced at Yao Meiyu indifferently.
Yao Meiyu had opened her mouth and was about to blurt out the word "I'm sorry", but she closed it again.
Huh? What's going on?
How come she suddenly felt so confident!
"Sister, what are you doing?" Su Tianli asked with a smile.
Su Youzi sneered, "You guys...are still pretending! I heard exactly how you framed our Xixi just now! Don't try to quibble!"
"Oh?" Su Tianli asked with interest, "Then how do we arrange it?"
Su Youzi was angry!
“You! You—”
She was so angry that she stamped her feet and told He Wanqian everything that everyone had said about her before.
He Wanqian frowned and glared at Su Youzi fiercely.
However, this scene had another meaning in Su Youzi's eyes - look! He Wanqian's eyes were wide open! She was angry with Su Tianli!
Su Tianli asked Su Youzi with amusement, "So?"
Su Youzi was stunned. "Su Tianli, what do you mean? You say bad things about people behind their backs... Do you think you are right?"
Su Tianli smiled and said, "First of all, what you said was indeed what Yao Meiyu told me - but I want to ask you, were the words that Ah Yu relayed actually said by He Wanqian herself? Did Ah Yu ever add a word herself?"
Su Youzi was stunned.
Su Tianli continued: "Secondly, you only said that we talked about He Wanqian behind her back. Why didn't you tell He Wanqian how you talked about her in front of us?"
Su Youzi opened his mouth in shock.
After a long while, Su Youzi said anxiously, "Su Tianli, you are slandering me! I, I didn't talk about He Wanqian behind her back. You are talking nonsense!"
Su Tianli smiled and said, "Hey, big sister, there's nothing you can't tell others! Since you're He Wanqian's good friend, I'm sure you two have a friendship that will last forever... So why don't you dare to tell He Wanqian directly?"
Su Youzi was so angry that his chest heaved violently, "What did I say to you?"
Su Tianli said openly: "You despise He Wanqian for having bad taste! Look, you stole a few hundred dollars from me yesterday, and then He Wanqian accompanied you shopping. Under her advice, you bought that extremely expensive skirt... You were unhappy as soon as you came back, because the skirt didn't suit your skin at all, and it was one size too small. The waist was too tight, and the fat was bursting out! Oh, and the hem of the skirt was stuck right at the fattest part of your calves, so your legs looked really, really thick..."
At this point, Su Tianli smiled and said, "Sometimes, it's not that the most expensive is the most beautiful... In my opinion, the most suitable is the most beautiful, what do you think, sister?"
Su Youzi was dumbfounded.
He Wanqian's face was red and hot.
It feels like being slapped hard in the face!
Especially, when Su Tianli said "the most suitable one is the most beautiful"...
He Wanqian heard something different from Su Tianli's words:
On the surface, Su Tianli was preaching to Su Youzi.
But in fact, Su Tianli was also mocking her, He Wanqian!
Because He Wanqian herself is not suitable for wearing heavy colors.
Su Tianli is a natural beauty with a strong complexion. She has thick eyebrows that grow sideways into her temples, big and bright eyes, long and curled eyelashes, and full lips with a healthy red hue...
For example, now.
In addition to Su Tianli, there were Yao Meiyu and another young woman in the room.
Su Tianli's dress was the shabbiest among the young women at the scene.
But her appearance and temperament made her undoubtedly the most outstanding one at the scene.
He Wanqian closed her eyes, her heart burning with anger for no reason!
——She doesn’t want to imitate Su Tianli either!
But if she didn't imitate Su Tianli, Fu Yan would ignore her, and she couldn't do anything about it!
At this time——
Su Youzi finally came to his senses!
She yelled, "You're talking nonsense! I never said that!"
Su Tianli just smiled and said nothing.
Su Youzi was so angry that he insisted that Su Tianli express her opinion, "I didn't say that!"
Su Tianli said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, okay, right, right, okay, okay! Whatever you say, it's what it is."
As she spoke, Su Tianli glanced at Yao Meiyu indifferently again.
Yao Meiyu understood and immediately comforted Su Youzi, "Yes, Sister Youzi, don't worry! Okay, okay! You didn't say it, you didn't say it... We all know it!"
When Mao Li heard this, she also said, "Yes, yes, Sister Youzi didn't say anything."
When He Wanqian heard these words,
But it was even more painful than if Su Youzi had really said it.
Because this means that everyone recognizes what Su Tianli said: "It is not the most expensive that is the most beautiful, but the most suitable one is the most beautiful"...
Doesn't this prove that everyone knows that she is imitating Su Tianli? !
but--
In fact, no one thinks so.
After all, Su Tianli has only been back for one day...not even twenty-four hours!
Who knows what Su Tianli’s usual dressing style is?
Besides, it was the late 1970s.
Most people can only maintain the most basic food and clothing... As for clothes, as long as they are not patched, they are already decent.
Who has the extra money to dress in a certain style???
However, He Wanqian, who has always been proud and arrogant, could never think of this when she was angry.
She tried her best to hold back, and after she thought she had suppressed the negative emotions, she smiled and said, "What are you talking about! Do you still think... I came here to find out those who said bad things about me behind my back?"
Then, He Wanqian said with a half-smile, "Being the subject of discussion proves that this person... is worth being talked about in some way."
"Tianli, are you right?" He Wanqian looked at Su Tianli and said with a smile.
To Su Tianli's ears, these words naturally sounded sarcastic.
However, what made Su Tianli feel uncomfortable was,
It's not the meaning of this sentence itself.
But——
She subconsciously felt that He Wanqian could not say such words.
This kind of sharp and indirect remarks is very similar to Su Tianli's usual style.
Seeing Su Tianli in a daze, He Wanqian felt that she had finally won!
It feels so good to use your own tactics against someone else!
So, He Wanqian showed a relieved expression, and even the smile on her face became more sincere, "Tianli, when did you come back?"
Su Tianli raised her eyebrows, "When you and my elder sister went out shopping yesterday, didn't my elder sister tell you?"
Wan-qian Ho: …
Su Youzi: ...
Su Youzi was stunned and wondered how Su Tianli knew that?
Su Tianli: Is there any need to ask?
First of all, the fact that Su Youzi was able to call He Wanqian over in such a short time proves that Su Youzi and He Wanqian are very familiar with each other, so it is very likely that they were together last night.
Secondly, the ridiculously expensive skirt that Su Youzi bought yesterday is actually more suitable for He Wanqian's style. If Su Youzi really went shopping for clothes with He Wanqian, He Wanqian would definitely influence Su Youzi's choice!
Finally, Su Tianli had cheated once before, and neither Su Youzi nor He Wanqian denied that they were together yesterday...
He Wanqian showed an aggrieved expression on her face, "Tianli, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem to... have a problem with me?"
Su Tianli smiled: Look, this is He Wanqian’s own style, it’s so similar to the way Yao Meiyu imitated others before.
"How could that be?" Su Tianli smiled sweetly, "I was just afraid that you wouldn't welcome me back!"
He Wanqian's pupils trembled!
——Why did Su Tianli say that? What did she realize? It's impossible. She spent five years planning and everything went perfectly! Su Tianli couldn't possibly know!
That……
Why did Su Tianli say such a thing?
Su Tianli smiled as she watched He Wanqian's expression change constantly.
Originally, she thought that using He Wanqian's style to deal with He Wanqian would give her a thorough pleasure.
But after Su Tianli did this, she felt bored.
At this time——
Cheng Yu, who was sitting at the dinner table, suddenly said to Su Tianli, "Under the bridge."
Su Tianli was stunned.
After a moment, she realized that Cheng Yu was responding to her.
She had asked him where he lived now.
Now he answered her: He lived under the bridge.
Su Tianli felt inexplicably angry!
However, before Su Tianli could speak,
He Wanqian saw Cheng Yu and exclaimed, "Brother Cheng Yu? Why are you here?"
Cheng Yu was still eating breakfast quietly and ignored He Wanqian.
Su Tianli smiled.
However, the smile did not reach his eyes.
She smiled and said, "By the way, Wanxi, I heard that Cheng Yu is your brother?"
"I heard...he was sick?"
"How did he get sick? What disease did he have? Why didn't he go to the hospital for treatment?"
"Since he is your brother... and he is still sick, are you and your parents just going to watch him wandering outside?" Su Tianli asked a series of questions in one breath.
He Wanqian was stunned by Su Tianli's question.
Everyone was afraid of her father, even though they had the same doubts as Su Tianli.
But no one has ever dared to ask her face to face.
Ho Wan-qian felt offended.
But looking at Su Tianli's clear and ignorant eyes...
For a moment, He Wanqian didn't know whether Su Tianli did it on purpose.
But soon, He Wanqian found out.
Su Tianli did it on purpose.
Because Su Tianli asked her, "Wanxi, why is this happening?"
"Is Cheng Yu really your brother? That's impossible!"
"Oh, and I heard that you and your brother were born on the same day of the same month of the same year? Then how did you know that he was the older brother and you were the younger sister? Is it possible that you are the older sister and he is the younger brother?"
Su Youzi couldn't bear to see his goddess being pushed to this extent by her sister, so he came to her aid, "Su Tianli, if you don't understand, don't ask! This matter has nothing to do with you!"
Su Tianli, "This matter really has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with you!"
Su Youzi was stunned. "What does it have to do with me?"
Su Tianli, "It has nothing to do with you, why did you jump out? I didn't ask you."
Su Youzi: ...
Yao Meiyu, Tan Weiming, Mao Li and Zhang Wei couldn't help laughing softly.
Su Youzi was so angry that he stomped his feet!
He Wanqian couldn't stay any longer, so she forced a smile and said, "Tianli, it seems you do have some opinions about me! Well, I won't be annoying anymore, I'll leave first..."
She was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something and turned to Su Tianli and said, "By the way, Lizhi, I have good news to tell you - Fu Yan and I have registered our marriage! When my parents have chosen an auspicious date for the wedding, I will invite you and other relatives and friends to come and have a drink at the wedding!"
After saying that, He Wanqian looked at Su Tianli's expression carefully, expecting to see complex expressions such as pain, jealousy, and envy on Su Tianli's face.
However--
"Really?" Su Tianli said happily, "That's great! Congratulations, Wanxi. I hope you and Fu Yan will be together forever and will always be so happy in the future."
This was meant to be a blessing, but He Wanqian's face turned pale in an instant!
I ate here several times at Su Tianli's place.
He Wanqian couldn't stand it anymore.
She looked at Su Tianli and tried her best to force a smile, "Thank you, thank you! I'll go first!"
After saying that, He Wanqian turned around and left in a hurry.
Su Tianli asked loudly: "Wanxi! You just left by yourself... You really don't care about your brother?"
He Wanqian seemed unaware and quickly walked to the corner of the stairs and hurried downstairs.
Su Youzi was very angry, and asked Su Tianli with his hands on his hips, "Su Tianli, are you sick? Wanxi's father is a senior engineer in our factory! You offended Wanxi, what if her father makes things difficult for our parents?"
Su Tianli rolled her eyes at her. "Even if what you said is true, it is the blessing you brought to your parents! Look, if you hadn't called He Wanqian here, why would she have to endure such anger?"
Su Youzi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
After a while, Su Youzi stamped his feet and said, "I think you don't care about your parents' future at all!"
Su Tianli sneered, "They are both about to retire, what kind of bright future can they have? Besides, they are both state-owned employees with stable jobs! I would like to ask you, isn't He Wanqian's father a technical worker? Since when did technical workers have the power to make things difficult for other regular employees?"
"In my opinion, you are afraid that if you offend He Wanqian, you will have no bright future, right? But Su Youzi, don't blame me for not reminding you! Her father doesn't even recognize his own son, who do you think you are? Are you more important than her father's own son? Will her father care about your life or death?"
"Let me ask you again, you've been her bootlicker for so many years, how come you haven't even gotten a formal job?"
"She didn't give you any sweetness at all, but you're still licking her so vigorously?"
Su Youzi was stunned.
She wanted to refute and said that it was not what you said...
But, she seemed completely unable to refute it.
And the more Su Youzi thought about it, the more he felt that what Su Tianli said made sense.
yes!
Over the years, Su Youzi has become a dog ordered around by He Wanqian, hoping to get a chance to become a regular employee like Fu Yan.
But today, even Su Tianli, who went to the countryside to work in the production team, has learned the skills well and returned with a transfer order. She is about to become a head nurse with a regular job and a stable job!
And she, Su Youzi, still has accomplished nothing! She is still a temporary worker!
Su Youzi was so angry that he went back to his room and sulked.
Su Tianli was too lazy to pay attention to Su Youzi and continued chatting with her friends.
She had just returned to the city and didn't know how to go about many of the formalities. But because she had a lively conversation with Mao Li and Zhang Wei, she finally figured out how to process the transfer order and so on.
Then Su Tianli asked Yao Meiyu a lot of questions, such as where to buy daily necessities cheaply and well, how to transfer between different places, etc.
After everything is clear,
It was lunch time, and Tian Xiu came back carrying a heavy net bag and warmly invited everyone to have lunch together.
Of course, at the beginning, Tian Xiu was very enthusiastic towards Zhang Wei, asking him all kinds of questions;
Later I heard that Zhang Wei and Mao Li had been dating for several years...
The light in Tian Xiu's eyes disappeared all of a sudden.
Su Tianli smiled secretly in her heart.
After lunch, she confidently asked Tian Xiu for money, "Mom, give me ten yuan! When I came back, all my money was stolen by my elder sister... No, it was all taken away by my elder sister. There is not a penny left. I don't even have money to buy a few sets of underwear."
When Tian Xiuyi heard that it would cost money, his heart began to ache.
She complained to Su Tianli, "You also know that your family is in financial difficulty, why didn't you bring all your things back when you came back? If you did, you can use the ready-made ones now, why spend money to buy them?"
Su Tianli never wastes time on herself. She pouted and said, "Mom! If I take the bus alone, I will have to change buses four or five times! And it will take four or five days! If I also have to bring my luggage... What if I can't take care of it and lose the transfer order and the money?"
"If the transfer order is lost, it just means I lose my job, and my parents will have to support one more person in the future!"
"If the money is lost, then I won't be able to buy the braid I bought yesterday, right?"
Su Youzi was so angry that she felt embarrassed and wanted to cry.
Tian Xiu desperately winked at Su Tianli, meaning: There are so many guests at home, so don't expose these family scandals! You want money, can't I give it to you? I'll give it to you after the guests leave!
Su Tianli won't listen to her empty promises!
"Forget it, Mom. If you don't want to give it to me, I can't do anything about it." Su Tianli turned to Yao Meiyu and said, "Ayu, can you lend me ten dollars? I'll pay you back when I get my job assigned and get paid."
Yao Meiyu patted her chest and said, "No problem! Leave it to me!"
Tian Xiu has shame.
After all, this is the Su family. She is the head of the Su family and an elder...
So Tian Xiu blushed and said to Yao Meiyu with a smile: "Ah Yu, our Litchi is just joking with you!"
As she spoke, Tian Xiu gave Su Tianli a fierce look, "You kid... I'm nagging you for your own good, why do you take it so seriously? Come on, come on, let me give you money!"
In the end, he took out ten dollars and gave it to Su Tianli with great pain.
Su Tianli happily took the money and went out with her friends.
Everyone went downstairs, and Tan Weiming said goodbye and went home.
Mao Li and Zhang Wei were also preparing to go back.
Su Tianli and Yao Meili had originally agreed to go shopping together...
But everyone was in a dilemma when they saw Cheng Yu standing quietly by the side.
Su Tianli also looked at Cheng Yu, her mind full of the words Cheng Yu said to her, "live under the bridge"...
Does he really live alone under the bridge?
If you live under a bridge, wouldn’t you become a homeless person?
How does a homeless person maintain... such clean and decent personal hygiene as he does now?
Zhang Wei asked Cheng Yu, "Take me to your place to have a look!"
Cheng Yu then obediently led the way in front.
Su Tianli didn't want to meddle in other people's business. After all, she was in the most embarrassing situation right now.
But she heard Mao Li and Zhang Wei talking in low voices:
Mao Li complained to Zhang Wei, "Why do you have to meddle in this matter? We can hardly protect ourselves now..."
Zhang Wei was silent for a while, then said, "It's true that we are in trouble now, but is Cheng Yu's situation better than ours? Ali, I still want to help him. Don't worry, even if I help him, I will help within my ability. If it's beyond my ability, I can't do anything."
Maury sighed.
Su Tianli took Yao Meiyu's hand and followed.
She has been away from Guangzhou for five years.
I felt a little unfamiliar...
Now they were walking around like this, and Yao Meiyu beside them pointed and explained a few words.
Su Tianli's memory slowly came back.
The further she walked, the more familiar this road seemed to her!
Yao Meiyu said, "Remember, if we turn a corner ahead, we'll reach the Pearl River Bay! That's where we used to go fishing!"
Of course Su Tianli had an impression.
When he was a child, his family was poor. Tian Xiu was frugal and favored Su Youzi and Su Tiancai, so all the work at home and outside was done by Su Tianli and Su Qianzi.
Su Tianli is the elder sister, and she has the responsibility to support the family.
It is no exaggeration to say that from the time Su Tianli came to Guangzhou from her hometown at the age of seven to the time she left Guangzhou at the age of seventeen, she was responsible for the eating, drinking, and defecation of the entire Su family!
But Tian Xiu only gave Su Tianli ten yuan a month.
Su Tianli is extremely thrifty!
——Su Dejun was a strong laborer, and he had a quota of 40 kilograms of rice per month; Tian Xiu had a quota of 28 kilograms of rice per month, so together they had 68 kilograms of rice, and at 8 cents a kilogram, that would cost him 5.4 yuan;
Of the remaining four dollars and sixty cents, I would keep two dollars to exchange for meal tickets, and use the remaining two dollars and sixty cents to buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and coal briquettes...there would be nothing left.
So Su Tianli and her third sister opened a vegetable garden on the back hill of the factory, where they planted cabbage, peppers, beans, loofah, eggplant, tomatoes and so on. All the vegetables the family ate usually came from that small vegetable garden.
In order to eat free eggs, Su Tianli also raised four chickens.
However, when the chickens were kept outside, they were often stolen along with the eggs! She had no choice but to keep the chickens on the balcony at home. She also found a basket and carried the chickens in the basket to the back hill every morning, letting them find food on their own. After school, she would carry the basket to the back hill again to call the chickens back.
We only had eggs to eat at home every now and then.
In addition, she often took her third sister to the Pearl River Bay to catch small fish.
The Pearl River is rich in dace.
Grass carp is actually not delicious.
Because the largest one is only two fingers long, and after pinching off the head and tail, there are still thorns, and there is no meat at all.
But, even if there is no meat in the grass carp, it is still a meat dish!
So Su Tianli often took her sister to the waterside, found a secluded place, put a basket, put a homemade bamboo lid with an inverted mouth upside down on it, and then put some earthworms, insects or something in the basket.
When I went back to check after school the next day, I would always get just the right amount of fish.
The best way to eat dace is to make soup.
Cut off the head and tail and clean the internal organs, put them directly into an oil-free iron pan, slowly roast them over the lowest heat until they are slightly crispy, then take them out and roll them back and forth a few times with a rolling pin. The fish meat will fall off quickly, but the fish bones will remain hard.
At this time, separate the fish meat and fish bones by hand and put them away separately.
To make fish soup, you must do it at noon when cooking, while the fire is high. Use chopped fish bones and a lot of boiling water, add a few slices of ginger and green onion, and boil a large pot of soup. After boiling, do not remove the lid, just put the pot aside and ignore it.
After finishing lunch, I replaced the coal balls on the coal stove, closed the damper to the minimum, and even put the fish soup pot on the coal stove, allowing the fish soup to simmer slowly throughout the afternoon.
When Su Tianli returned home from school in the afternoon, the whole house was filled with the aroma of fish soup.
As long as you open the lid, you can see that the originally full pot of fish soup has been boiled down to only half a pot of milky white thick juice, and even the fish bones have been boiled soft!
At this time, if Su Tianli had some extra money, she would spend five cents to buy two pieces of tofu, cut them into pieces and put them into the fish soup to simmer, then sprinkle a handful of coriander and scallions picked from the vegetable garden, and add some salt to season, and she would have the most delicious grass carp and tofu stew.
If you are short of money, just pick a few white radishes from the vegetable garden, wash, peel and cut into shreds. Grass carp and radish soup is also delicious.
Not a drop of oil is added during the entire process.
But it has a strong flavor of fireworks.
Of course, that little bit of grass carp is not enough to feed the whole family, but it is good enough to satisfy their hunger.
Recalling the past,
Su Tianli couldn't help laughing.
Until Yao Meiyu beside him suddenly said: "Hey, it turns out that Cheng Yu really lives here!"
Su Tianli then came to her senses and saw a... particularly familiar place.
The arch of a dry bridge.
In other words, this is actually a bridge tunnel under a ditch.
——On the top of the bridge hole is a long-abandoned dry canal. So the bridge hole is not very big, only about 7 or 8 square meters.
The bridge tunnel that was supposed to be connected at both ends was closed with an iron door!
Moreover, the railings on the iron gate were tied tightly and neatly with ropes and bamboo strips!
Even next to the iron gate, beautiful dwarf trees and flowers were transplanted and planted, all of which were deliberately trimmed to the same height...
The weeds in front of the door were cleared cleanly, revealing a flat green lawn.
Next to the lawn, a vegetable field was opened up, planted with lush green lettuce, onions and leeks;
On the other side of the lawn there was a bamboo rack with men's trousers and shirts hanging on it. They looked exactly like the ones Cheng Yu was wearing when Su Tianli saw him yesterday.
This place looks like
It doesn't look like a homeless shelter at all.
It looks more like a proper home.
Su Tianli was shocked.
It's not because Cheng Yu actually turned the life of a homeless person into a well-off family;
But——
She looked left and right, and the more she looked around, the more she felt... it felt particularly familiar!
When she saw a familiar tree and a familiar big rock,
She was finally sure - wasn't this her secret base? !
Finally, Su Tianli focused her attention on Cheng Yu's "doorstep".
Cheng Yu had already walked to the iron gate, took out the key, unlocked the padlock on the door, pushed the door open and walked in;
After a while he came out again, and stood quietly at the door waiting, without saying a word. He just looked at everyone, and his clear eyes seemed to say: Okay, you can go in and visit.
Zhang Wei was the first to walk in. He exclaimed, "Wow!" and praised, "Cheng Yu! You... you are really good at it, aren't you?"
Su Tianli also walked into Cheng Yu's "home" with Yao Meiyu and Mao Li.
It turned out that Cheng Yu had just entered the room to open another iron door.
So this bridge hole became a house with transparent sides and bright lights.
In the space of seven or eight square meters, there was a small bamboo bed, with a half-worn blanket on it, clean, and the pillow and thin quilt neatly folded;
There was also a small old table, very dilapidated, but repaired;
There was also a wooden box at the head of the bed;
At the end of the bed there was a wooden washbasin rack, with a bucket full of water and an empty bucket under the rack, a washbasin on the rack, and a neatly folded, faded clean towel, as well as soap and other essential items.
Also, the house was cleaned very well and there was no odor at all.
At this time, everyone noticed that there was even a desk lamp on the dilapidated table!
Zhang Wei asked Cheng Yu in surprise, "Will this work?"
Cheng Yu did not respond.
Everyone has become accustomed to his slow and dull responses.
So Zhang Wei asked while tentatively placing his hand on the lamp switch. Seeing that Cheng Yu had no intention of objecting, he pressed the switch.
There is electricity?
It will light up!!!
This time, everyone was stunned.
Su Tianli looked along the wires and found that the wires of the desk lamp were connected to a small black box on the ground... which looked like a truck battery.
Mao Li smiled and said, "Zhang Wei, you see Cheng Yu is living a better life than us!"
Zhang Wei scratched his head, "Then why is he always hanging around the streets?"
Yao Meiyu also said: "Yes, I always see him on the street, and I thought he had no place to live, but I didn't expect him to run this place so well!"
Su Tianli looked around the room and understood. She said softly, "He is too lonely, so he likes to go to crowded places."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Cheng Yu stood quietly at the door. Although he was facing everyone, his vision was unable to focus.
It does seem cold and lonely, and I can't fit in.
At this moment, Su Tianli's attention suddenly focused on a stone on the table.
This stone is very special. Its shape is a bit twisted, like a distorted oval with a natural groove in the middle.
Su Tianli was stunned.
——This stone was picked up by her when she was a child.
At that time, this bridge arch was her secret base alone.
Whenever she was scolded and blamed by her parents, irritated by her mother's partiality, or didn't get first place in the exam, she would hide here and be alone for a while.
Of course, sometimes when she picked up some treasure, she would secretly hide it here.
Su Tianli still remembers that when she picked up this strange stone, she thought to herself: If it is a treasure bowl, put some rice in the groove, countless rice will grow out; put a few coins in it, countless coins will also grow out...
So she carefully hid it...
Unexpectedly, after many years, this thing actually became Cheng Yu’s property!
But it's funny.
How did Cheng Yu choose this place? !
For some unknown reason, Su Tianli seemed to remember something.
She looked at Cheng Yu, but saw him standing with his back to the light. Because he was slightly sideways, most of his face was hidden in the darkness, which made his skin look as white as snow, and the small bright red mole on his lower left chin became even clearer.
Su Tianli suddenly fell into a daze.
