The smog was quite serious. When the three-legged competition between the two ended, when everyone walked out of the gate of the gymnasium, the visibility outside had already begun to decrease.
The school is on vacation for two days, and the resident students all go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.
Kou Xiao called and said that he would go to the school soon and ask Kou Chen to wait at the door.
"Do you still want to take your classmates? Lao Yang didn't come today. I drove the car," Kou Xiao said. "There are still two classmates in the car."
"There's no one left. Superman and Brother Chuan are going to play an electric car. Jiang Lei and Hu Yi have already gone to take the subway. They live close together." Kou Chen said.
"How about it? Will he pick him up at home?" Kou Xiao asked again.
"I don't know, I haven't seen him since I went back to the dormitory... I don't think I'll pick him up. He's at home in the mountains for a few days and rest assured. No one should pick him up at the moment." Kou Chen glanced at the opposite dormitory, Huo Ranzheng While packing his clothes on the phone, he shouted over there, "Huo Ran!"
Huo Ran turned to look at him.
"My sister will come over in a while and take you back." Kou Chen said.
Huo Ran hesitated for a second, nodded, and resumed the call.
Kou Chen packed his unwashed dirty clothes into a bag, walked out of the dormitory with his back on his back, and stood at the door of Huo Ran's dormitory for ten seconds.
One, two, three, four, five… nine, ten.
Ten full seconds! Huo Ran's phone call was finally finished, and he came out with his bag.
Kou Chen habitually wanted to ask whose phone number, but in the end he couldn't find it out. In case it was Xu Zhifan's phone number, if he asked this, it would be considered privacy.
Gee.
Why so awkward
"Is your sister here?" Huo Ran asked.
"It is estimated that we are almost at the gate of the school. She is on her way." Kou Chen said.
"My dad just called me. He and my mom went to my grandma's house," Huo Ran said. "My grandma is sick."
"Is it serious?" Kou Chen quickly asked.
"It's not serious," Huo Ran said, "she's in good health, but every month she says she's sick. I guess she's alone and wants someone to accompany her. Last month, she said she was paralyzed. She is doing tai chi. Last month, she said that her eyes could not see clearly. When my dad and my uncle passed by, she was arguing with other old ladies. This month, she said that she had fallen, and the cause of the disease became more and more casual. already."
Kou Chen laughed and couldn't stop laughing.
"Almost there," Huo Ran glanced at him, "Is it that funny?"
"It's not just your grandma," Kou Chen took a breath, stopped his laughter, and put his arms around Huo Ran's shoulder, "I just wanted to laugh all of a sudden."
Huo Ran naturally talked to him about the content of the phone call, which made him suddenly feel a little hypocritical. Even if he really called Xu Zhifan, as a friend, if he asked who it was, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Sometimes people just think too much.
"There are two more days of vacation out of thin air, you must be laughing silly." Huo Ran said.
"Yeah." Kou Chen nodded.
"There's not a single word of homework missing." Huo Ran said.
"What's the fear of homework, I'll copy your homework." Kou Chen said.
Huo Ran sighed: "Don't copy mine, I may not be able to finish it when, why don't you copy Xu Zhifan's, he has good grades."
"I thought you wanted to teach me to do my homework and not copy it?" Kou Chen said.
"I'm still waiting for others to educate me in this regard." Huo Ran laughed.
Kou Xiao's own car is much more irritating than Lao Yang's car. It's a red Infiniti. Huo Ran feels very happy when he gets in the car. There are only two seats in the back row, and there is a small coffee table in the middle. Kou Shiqi can't go any further. He was arched.
"Thank you, sister." Huo Ran said.
"You're welcome," Kou Xiao pointed to a paper bag on the co-pilot, "Have some snacks? I just bought a bunch."
"Eat." As soon as Kou Chen came up, he took the paper bag to the back seat, looked inside, took out a small chocolate cake and handed it to Huo Ran, "You eat this, chocolate."
"Yeah." Huo Ran took the small cake.
"Let me drive the industrial park in a while," Kou Chen brought himself a wife cake, "Isn't that dead end road unoccupied?"
"Go away," Kou Xiao drove out the car, "You take Dad's car to drive, or Lao Yang's, don't touch my car."
"You're dead, you are the barrel of the Grandet family." Kou Chen said.
Huo Ran was stunned for a while and then almost choked with laughter, Kou Chen patted him on the back.
"You don't even want to drive my car yet. Last time you helped Dad back up the car, you almost knocked down the garage," Kou Xiao said in a tone full of contempt, "Where did you get the face to drive."
"Give you a year to hurt me, and next year you will shut up when I finish driving," Kou Chen tutted, "A person who has passed the second test five times in a subject will have one more year left."
"Go away!" Kou Xiao shouted and turned on the music.
"Let me tell you," Kou Chen tilted to Huo Ran's side and whispered, "The performance has begun."
Huo Ran looked at Kou Xiao and asked in a low voice, "What kind of performance?"
The small coffee table in the middle obviously prevented Kou Chen from leaning on him. After trying twice without leaning on him, Kou Chen quickly pulled out a small pillow from the back of the seat, put it on the coffee table, and then lay down and leaned against him. on Huo Ran's arm.
Huo Ran sighed.
"Look." Kou Chen leaned against him on the coffee table in a very uncomfortable position, but his expression was very happy.
Kou Xiao drove forward for a while and came across a crosswalk line. She stopped and waited for the pedestrians to cross the street.
"Sister!" After waiting for a few seconds, she suddenly shouted, "Be polite to pedestrians! Can pedestrians be a little more polite too! Or you can just stand here and dance!"
Huo Ran looked in front of him, and a eldest sister on the phone was walking past the front of the car at a walking speed.
"Crazy!" Kou Xiao scolded, she was about to start after she finally passed, the car behind honked its horn, presumably thinking that the car didn't leave after people passed, Kou Xiao scolded while driving the car forward , "It's just that you have a horn, right! Press one more and I'll turn it off on the spot for you now!"
"She's got a big temper," Kou Chen said with a smile, "I'm scolding all the way, but don't worry, she's scolding, but she's still very stable on her hands and feet."
Kou Chen is right, Kou Xiao has been scolding all the way.
"The green light has been on for an hour, have you woken up, can you walk, brother in front!"
"Grab it! Grab you a pumpkin! Grab these two meters is closer to heaven, right?"
"Do you know if you change lanes and turn on the lights? A copy of your driver's license! You're not afraid of hitting me, but I don't want to touch you!"
…
"Sister, would you like a sip?" Kou Chen took a box of yogurt, inserted a tube and handed it to Kou Xiao's mouth.
"I'm so pissed off, I'm going to get on the road. I'm fucking mentally retarded. I went to driving school to learn to eat shit." Kou Xiao took a sip of yogurt, "What kind of car are you driving? Later, I thought I was so humorous, and the people who met in the meeting posted it called humor, and if you posted it like this, it was called shameless, you should post it as a fool, and you can still be considered a certified job!"
"Stop scolding," Kou Chen said with a smile, "Huo Ran is still here, ruining his image."
"Of course, close your ears," Kou Xiao said, "I'll just scold and play, don't be afraid."
"Yeah." Huo Ran replied with a smile, "But people can't hear you scold."
"Can people hear that," Kou Xiao said, "I just want to vent my anger and swear so that people can hear it, what if I fight, who can I beat."
Huo Ran burst out laughing, but couldn't stop for a long time.
He found that Kou Chen and his sister were quite able to entertain themselves.
The car stopped downstairs at Huo Ran's house, Huo Ran was about to get out of the car, Kou Chen lay on the small coffee table and looked at him: "Will you come to my house tomorrow to play?"
"Huh?" Huo Ran looked at him.
"Superman Xu Chuan and the others went there. Call Xu Zhifan and the others to play cards and games." Kou Chen said.
"I'll play ball in the morning," Huo Ran said, "in the afternoon?"
"Where to play? School?" Kou Chen immediately asked.
"No," Huo Ran said, "Go to the public court..."
"Haze, ah," Kou Chen was a little surprised, "are you so addicted to playing?"
"Haze is used to it, and it's an indoor court. I made an appointment with someone yesterday, and I didn't say cancel." Huo Ran looked at Kou Chen, thought about it, and asked again, "Do you want to go?"
"He wants to go wherever he has to play," Kou Xiao said.
"Are you going to take someone?" Kou Chen asked.
"Bring whatever you want, bring your friends," Huo Ran said, "Do you want to come and find me tomorrow?"
"Okay." Kou Chen nodded.
After Kou Xiao's car drove away, Huo Ran entered the building, and while waiting for the elevator, he took out his mobile phone and ordered takeout.
Mom and Dad are going to go for two or three days, and he has to eat takeout for two or three days. Thinking of this, he suddenly thinks that Kou Chen can live a good life, and he knows that he is going to eat small hot pot.
He will only order a takeaway, and will always only order the casserole meal at the back door of the neighborhood next to him.
Ah, I really want to eat Sichuan hot pot.
When he got home, he found that the big vase at home was broken, and there was a note on it, which was his mother's handwriting.
-Baby Ranran, come back and scan, we are in a hurry to see grandma
"Is it too lazy to sweep?" Huo Ran sighed.
Crouching on the ground, he managed to pick up all the glass fragments into the trash can. Just as he was about to sweep the debris, his cell phone rang.
Xu Zhifan sent a message.
- What is the relay number
Huo Ran smiled. He was afraid that Xu Zhifan would be a little depressed when he went home and didn't see the scene, so he didn't tell him about today's game.
-First! Cow
- So awesome!
Huo Ran hesitated for a moment and called.
As soon as the call was connected, before Xu Zhifan's voice came out, he heard Grandma Xu's voice: "Your father? Or your aunt?"
"It's Huo Ran, it's your turn to play the cards, let's count, don't fire any more guns," Xu Zhifan said, "I still have three months to get lucky money, so I can't afford you to fire guns."
"How about playing mahjong with grandma?" Huo Ran asked.
"Well, it's basically just to see her lose money," Xu Zhifan smiled, "Where are you?"
"I'm at home, the smog has two days off," Huo Ran said, "is your dad home yet?"
"Go back, I'm going to take a shower now," Xu Zhifan sighed and lowered his voice, "I went out for so many days, but I didn't find anyone."
"The person you told your dad got it wrong," Huo Ran said. "Why didn't he contact the family when he came back?"
"I told him, it's useless, next time I hear something, I have to look for it." Xu Zhifan said.
"Then there is still no news from your mother? It's been more than half a year, if it's true..." Huo Ran frowned, "Your neighbor, Auntie Hu, didn't all call your relatives to ask for money, and the two of them are together. went to…”
"My mother's friends and classmates are not here, and we don't know if she wants money from others," Xu Zhifan said, "They can't contact us, and there is no news from Aunt Hu now, and her daughter doesn't speak when she sees me. Even if I refrain from scolding, I can't ask."
"What should I do?" Huo Ran sighed.
"If it doesn't work, I'll take a trip around the New Year." Xu Zhifan said.
"With your father?" Huo Ran asked.
"Myself," Xu Zhifan said, "I'm afraid that my dad will be in a hurry if something goes wrong."
"I'll go with you." Huo Ran said.
"Let's talk about it later," Xu Zhifan said. "It's useless for you to follow along, just a child."
"I will be 18 next year, Uncle Xu." Huo Ran said with a smile.
Xu Zhifan also laughed: "It's alright, there are still two months before the holiday, and there may be news during this time."
"Well," Huo Ran nodded, "Tomorrow afternoon Kou Chen will let him play with him at his house."
"Okay," Xu Zhifan said, "I want to see his dog, is it Shuaishuai?"
"Yes, it's very annoying. If you're not careful, you lick your face. Be careful tomorrow." Huo Ran said.
After a few more chats, Xu Zhifan hung up the phone and said that he was going to take grandma to dinner.
Huo Ran wanted to ask him if he could tell the other members of the group of seven about this, but he hesitated for a long time and didn't speak.
He thought that a few people might have more ideas if there was something to discuss, but Xu Zhifan has always been the kind of person who doesn't like to cause trouble to his friends, and he tries to handle everything by himself. When the family heard that Aunt Hu's husband came to scold, he wouldn't let Huo Ran know.
If only Xu Zhifan had a personality like Kou Chen's, he couldn't hold back.
"Who do you want to play with?" Kou Chen came over in a taxi early in the morning, and was a little excited on the way to the court, "Do you know anyone from the school basketball team?"
"No," Huo Ran drank yogurt, "it's just a few people who often go there to play football, and they get used to it after a long time. Today, there may be someone from the school next door. I met in the high school league and the affiliated high school before."
"Is the technology good?" Kou Chen asked in a low voice.
"It's good," Huo Ran glanced at him, "It might not be easy for you to pretend."
Kou Chen didn't care about his words at all: "What about you?"
"What am I?" Huo Ran took another sip of yogurt.
"Can you pretend?" Kou Chen asked.
"I'm not pretending," Huo Ran tutted, "You think they're all the same as you, Call of Duty pretends to be forceful."
Kou Chen was stunned for two seconds, unable to stop laughing: "Little cute, you are so cute."
"Go away." Huo Ran replied simply.
It was Kou Chen's first time to play outside the school's basketball court. Of course, he didn't have much interest in basketball before.
But this indoor court surprised him a bit, it was completely different from the ones he had ever seen.
This stadium is at least 20 years old. It may have been a large warehouse. The two stadiums are side by side, with stands in the middle and around them.
The basketball hoop was very new, and the lines on the ground should have been redrawn recently, but the surrounding walls, the roof, and the stands made him suddenly think he had opened up street basketball.
The stand is a somewhat rusted iron shelf. Many welding places have been broken. A piece of wood is placed on top. The shelf next to the scoreboard is also made of the same material. The bottom bracket is broken. on.
The light stand on the top is very cool. The big white lights are hung on the iron pipes that are horizontal and vertical, and all kinds of wires are pulled. The most attractive is the surrounding walls, which are full of graffiti. I don’t know how many layers are stacked. , anyway, no wall skin is exposed.
"Damn it," Kou Chen took out his phone, "this place is interesting."
"Huo Ran is here!" Someone from the stand greeted him.
"How many people are there?" Huo Ran walked over there.
"A few more will come over in a while, you can warm up first," a student who looked like a college student jumped down from the stand and pointed to the few sitting in the back row, "I don't know if you've seen it before, but the one in 6 next to you. ."
"I don't know." Huo Ran smiled.
Those in 6 nodded to him: "Are you the current school basketball captain?"
"Yeah." Huo Ran responded.
"Your ex-captain, you played with us, it's awesome." A tall man said, jumping down from the stand and suddenly throwing the basketball in his hand.
"Jiang Cheng?" Huo Ran caught the ball and slowly took the ball back two steps, "He's very good."
"Is he a guard," the tall man bent over and shook his body gently, "what about you?"
"Forward." When Huo Ran said these words, his right hand suddenly brought the ball behind him.
The tall man swooped in to grab the ball and missed.
Kou Chen was a little surprised when he stood beside him. Huo Ran had just started to lean over when Huo Ran was escaping with the ball, and he didn't even stretch out his hand.
This reaction is kind of cool.
