070. Come to the door
At the beginning of the first day of the first lunar month, Zhang Siyi was not idle. First, he and his family went to the temple to worship Buddha in the early morning, and then went to his uncle's house to pay homage to the New Year. By the way, he visited his grandmother who lived at his uncle's house. Search: \(\\\\) to watch fine literature for free
My grandmother is old and in poor health. She sits in a wheelchair all the year round and has a little back of her ear.
Zhang Siyi worked in the first year, and when he earned money, he had to give his grandmother a red envelope of filial piety. Because his grandmother was the only one who was still in the top four, Zhang Siyi was willing to take the initiative to wrap a big red envelope of 1,600 yuan. His uncle and aunt praised him for being filial and sensible, and they also said that since he was a child, he felt that he was promising.
Zhang Siyi was praised like this, and immediately wrapped a small red envelope of 500 yuan for his cousin who was still in high school, making his aunt and uncle tickled.
To greet my uncle, Zhang Siyi's family's task of "visiting relatives and friends" can be considered accomplished. On the father's side, Zhang's father is the eldest son, Zhang Siyi is also the eldest grandson of the Zhang family, and there are a bunch of cousins and cousins. They just need to wait for their relatives at home. You can come to the door. It's just that when he gave his cousin a red envelope, he couldn't favor one over another. Zhang Siyi, under his mother's instructions, gave all the children of his father's relatives a red envelope of 500 per person.
He made a lot of money before, and Zhang's mother thought that he had saved a lot of money, but he didn't know that Zhang Siyi had been squeezed into a human job long ago after this red envelope was distributed.
Looking at the balance of only a few hundred dollars in the bank|bank|card, Zhang Siyi wanted to cry without tears - why is the money spent so quickly!
On the night of the fourth day of the fourth day, Zhang Siyi's family finally sent away a group of bear children, and Shen Hao called him to death, saying that Qu Xiaomiao was getting married on the sixth night of the sixth day, and asked him to have a wedding wine together.
Thinking of the "red bomb" of 1880, Zhang Siyi's whole body shuddered. But the three of them have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and now Shen Hao is getting along so well, if he finds an excuse to refuse because he can't afford the wedding red envelope, where will he save his face
—Hey, even if you want to sell iron, you have to go!
Zhang Siyi took out all the money that could be overdrafted by his credit card, including the bank, bank, and card. After all, he still has 2,000 yuan left in the sum of his belongings. He will not be paid until the 5th of the next month. His annual leave Adding up to the adjustment and rest days, it is exactly the end of the month, at least during this time at home every day without worrying about food money.
2,000 yuan minus 1,800 red envelopes, and only 200 yuan left. Well, it's almost a little bit to buy a return train ticket... Help! ! ! qaq
When he was worried about money, Zhang's mother urged him again: "Didn't you say that you want to pay New Year's greetings to Gu Xiao? Tomorrow is the fifth day of the first lunar month. When are you going to go?"
Zhang Siyi: "I've been busy these two days..."
Zhang's mother: "Hurry up and make arrangements. How old is the new year? Two hours back and forth is enough, and everyone has said that they want to go. Now they push three and four, but they make people think about it!"
Zhang Siyi waved his hand impatiently and said, "I know, I know!"
Indeed, although he was busy these two days, it was not that he could not spare these two hours, but the last time Gu Xiao mentioned his underwear, Zhang Siyi was so frightened that he retracted his snail shell again, somewhat escaping.
Zhang Siyi diligently sent a message to Gu Xiao, asking him if he was at home tomorrow.
Gu Xiao replied fairly quickly: "Yes, come to pay New Year's greetings?"
Zhang Siyi: "Well."
Gu Xiao: "It's the fourth day of the first year. I thought you couldn't bear my pants, so you dragged it on until now."
Zhang Siyi: "...I don't have it!"
Gu Xiao: "Hehe, when will you arrive tomorrow? I've said hello to my family. Come over for lunch if it's convenient."
… Uh? Want to have lunch? oo
Feeling the importance Gu Xiao attached to his visit, Zhang Siyi became nervous again. He made an appointment with the other party, and after nine o'clock the next morning, he took the gift package his mother prepared for him and went out.
He took a taxi, and the taxi driver took him directly to the address Gu Xiao said. It was an apartment building built in the 1990s in the old city. It was very close to Zhang Siyi High School's alma mater. He knew that there were still many faculty members living nearby. .
Zhang Siyi touched the building by himself. Seeing that the electronic doorbell of the old iron gate had been in disrepair for a long time, there was no response no matter how much he pressed it. In desperation, he had to call Gu Xiao.
Later, it was Gu Xiao who went downstairs to open the door in person. It was also said that the doorbell was broken. He lived on the third floor and Zhang Siyi was waiting downstairs. Hearing the footsteps coming downstairs from the corridor, his heart followed the rhythm of the other side stepping on the stairs. "Tom tom" jumps straight.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and Gu Xiao's complexion looks much better than before. It may be that he was busy at work before, and he has rested in the past few days.
He was wearing loose casual clothes and a pair of large round-headed cotton slippers on his feet. He was dressed in a rather funny and unseemly outfit, but Gu Xiao wore a different kind of handsome... warm, homely, and approachable.
"Come here?" Gu Xiao opened the door and smiled at him, "Come up."
"Wait!" Zhang Siyi stopped him, glanced furtively left and right, then lowered his head and took out a pair of underwear from his pocket, and quickly handed them over, "This, this will be returned to you first."
Gu Xiao: "..."
Fortunately, Gu Xiao came down, otherwise Zhang Siyi would not know when it would be suitable for him.
Gu Xiao was not in a hurry to hide, instead he held the pants in his hand and slowly kneaded them, saying, "I just borrowed you to wear them for one night, why are you so careful? Or did you do something else? …”
Zhang Siyi: "..." (oao) me. I. I. . .
Gu Xiao saw Zhang Siyi's shy expression but he stopped talking, covered his lips with empty fists, and couldn't help smirking: "You are so interesting, do you take it seriously every time I tease you?"
Zhang Siyi blushed and roared in his heart: I take everything seriously! ? It's clearly your words that make it hard to tell when you're joking! ! (╯‵ dish′)╯︵┻━┻
"Brother! Why haven't you come up for so long?" A charming female voice came from upstairs.
"Come on!" Gu Xiao replied, giving Zhang Siyi a look, motioning him to go up with him.
When they got upstairs, Zhang Siyi really saw the girl he met at the door of KTV last time. She leaned out from the door and blinked a pair of big watery eyes, looking at Zhang Siyi curiously.
"Hi~" Zhang Siyi raised his hand stiffly and greeted her.
The girl smiled and said, "Are you my brother's little apprentice? I remember you. I saw you last time on ktv. He even called you a kid, hehe, kid..."
Gu Xiao said on the side: "What's your name 'little boy'? No matter how big or small, he is one year older than you, and he is called brother."
The girl made a tongue sticking expression and ran away blushing.
Zhang Siyi was a little surprised. It turned out that Gu Xiao was so vicious towards his sister. For some reason, he suddenly felt more balanced in his heart.
Gu Xiao's house is very ordinary, about a hundred square meters, with three bedrooms and one living room, and the living room is small and unobstructed. But books can be seen everywhere in their house. Because of the small space, they are piled up in piles beside the sofa and coffee table. New and old, although they look crowded, they are not messy, but they still have the smell of a scholarly family.
"Come on, is it Xiao Zhang?" Dad Gu got up from the sofa and warmly greeted Zhang Siyi to come in and sit.
Gu Xiao's father looked older than Zhang Siyi's father, wore a pair of square glasses, spoke in a full-fledged voice, and looked very good. Perhaps because Gu Xiao's eyebrows and eyes look a bit like his father, Zhang Siyi developed a sense of intimacy towards him.
Zhang Siyi changed his shoes, gave the gift bag to Gu Xiao, called "Uncle Gu" respectfully, and said a few words like "Happy New Year".
Then Gu's mother also came out. Zhang Siyi only looked up and was stunned, because Gu Xiao's mother was very beautiful - with a crooked head and a frown, her eyes were full of hope, gentle and quiet, this woman was like jade all over her body. The soft temperament, just watching you smiling quietly on the side, makes people feel very comfortable and comfortable.
Zhang Siyi had always thought that his mother was the most beautiful woman in the world, but when he met Gu's mother, he realized what a real "beauty embryo" is, a kind of natural beauty that does not require emotional bonuses.
It's no wonder that Gu Xiao and his sister both look so out of the ordinary. In such a comparison, they have inherited three or four parts of Gu's mother's beauty, but just like this, they are already outstanding among ordinary people.
Zhang Siyi called out "Auntie" a little shyly, she nodded slightly and pointed to the sofa, the gesture was a bit like sign language, probably asking him to sit, and Zhang Siyi was taken aback. Gu Xiao also greeted him, and then pulled back his thoughts.
Gu's father smiled and said, "I heard Xiao'er talk about you, you two are very destined."
"Uh, is it?" How strange does the word fate sound? Zhang Siyi laughed dryly, glanced at Gu Xiao, who was silent beside him, and explained to Dad Gu, "It can't be said to be fate, it's mainly Gu... Gu Xiao is too good, he and I are from the same high school, Although we didn't study together, I heard a lot of his deeds during the three years of school, and he was the top student in the college entrance examination in Ningcheng," Zhang Siyi scratched his head, "Speaking of which, I learned architecture because of him, so I don't know if I know him. It's hard too."
Dad Gu laughed and said, "That's not what I'm talking about, you've seen it when you were young."
Zhang Siyi: "???" Have you seen it when you were a child
"Xiaoer, you didn't tell him?" Dad Gu gave Gu Xiao a meaningful glance.
At this time, Gu Xiao's sister brought a few cups of tea and handed them to the three men on the sofa in turn, while taking a cushion from the sofa and sitting on the ground to listen to their conversation.
Zhang Siyi thanked him, touched Gu Xiao's arm with his elbow, and asked, "We really met when we were young? How is it?"
Gu Xiao lowered his head and peeled a grapefruit, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he said two words: "Silly."
Zhang Siyi: "..." (= dish=)
Gu Xiao's sister burst into laughter, looked at Zhang Siyi with interest, and wanted to hear gossip, so she couldn't help but urged: "Dad, tell me!"
Dad Gu looked at Zhang Siyi and said with a smile: "You were quite young at the time, so it was normal to forget about it. Xiaoer was only ten years old at that time, so you should be... so tall." He raised his hand and compared the coffee table the height of.
Zhang Siyi: "..." He was six years apart from Gu Xiao, so he was only four years old then! oao
Dad Gu continued: "I was working on a municipal project at the time, and I was going to the Construction Bureau to report. Oh yes, Zhang Ting was only a small director at that time..." gd1806102
