[twenty two]
The gift that Subei Mo prepared for Liao Nanqing was the mobile phone bought with overtime wages.
Liao Nanqing refused to accept it. Although he did not understand electronic products, he also knew that this mobile phone was of the same brand as Xu Yanyan, and it was a mobile phone that he could not afford at present. Besides, Subei Mo's mobile phone was also broken, which was just the one he could use himself. In order to refuse, Liao Nanqing kept boasting that his little broken mobile phone was also very useful, but it crashed as soon as he took it out.
"...Usually it's really easy to use." Liao Nanqing blushed and put the phone back in his trouser pocket.
Subei Mo almost burst out laughing, and forcibly put the phone into Liao Nanqing's hand: "This is a gift for learning and progress, don't refuse it."
"Too expensive, really too expensive!"
"It's not expensive." Su Beimo held his hand and said seriously, "Next time you improve, I'll give it to you. It's better."
But what is better
Liao Nanqing's definition of gifts is not clear, but he clearly knows that he does not want material gifts. He wanted Subeimo to meet him, talk to him, and hug him. He is so greedy, his heart is as endless as a black hole, but at the same time as Subei Mo appears, it shrinks and disappears, disappearing in the vast universe.
The only Subei Mo who can make him feel satisfied and stable is the only and best gift he wants.
"I think it's the best thing to be able to meet you. Don't give me the rest. If you give me next time... I'll give you an IOU... " Liao Nanqing is a young Huaichun boy who is in love, and he wants what he wants. Not much.
Subei Mo did not reject him this time: "I will come back as long as I don't work overtime in the future."
"Really!"
"Well, come back and urge you to study."
When Liao Nanqing heard this, he fainted. He thought that Subei Mo was joking, but it turned out that Subei Mo really went home every week or two. Liao Nanqing has become a frequent visitor to the Su family again. He is obedient and sensible, and even Grandma Su likes him very much.
Everyone in the Su family knew about the tragedy of the Liao family, but no one mentioned it.
They respected him and tolerated him, and these emotions were quite rare in an indifferent town.
At Su's house, he can avoid those rumors and gossip and experience the warmth of home. Like the gentle and gurgling spring water, immersing his memory and weaving a sweet dream for him, Liao Nanqing almost forgot his tragic past.
Every time I go to dinner at Grandma Su, Grandma Su has to cook a large table of dishes.
Liao Nanqing especially likes to eat home-cooked food. Because of Grandma Su's enthusiasm, he often stuffs both of his cheeks bulging, like a hamster who hides food. This semester, Liao Nanqing has become much more rounded, no longer as scrawny as when he first met him, and his eyes are naturally less obscure.
The new school was really good, and Subeimo thanked him for his righteous heart and meddling energy at that time.
Otherwise, how could he see such a vibrant Liao Nanqing.
It's like grass has finally grown in the barren land, crisp and green, and it has survived the cold winter and the hot summer. It is striding forward towards spring, and it is really going up every day as expected by Subei Mo.
Time passed quickly, and it was winter vacation in a blink of an eye.
Because Liao Nanqing was in the third year of high school, he only had a holiday the day before the New Year's Eve.
Subei Mo went to pick up people at the school gate. From a distance, he saw Liao Nanqing wearing a heavy and thick coat with those thin canvas shoes on his feet. He stepped out of the snow step by step, leaving footprints spreading. into a path.
When he saw Subei Mo, Liao Nanqing waved his hand vigorously and ran over with a whimper, and the white mist exhaled from his mouth slowly disappeared in a snow-colored background.
The heavy snow that just fell last night covered the third high school. The pure colors of the sky and the ground make people relax a lot.
"Is there anything to bring back?" Su Beimo asked.
Liao Nanqing shook his head: "We'll let it go for a week."
"Is it cold?" Subei Mo took off the scarf around his neck.
Liao Nanqing looked at Subei Merton's slippery neck and refused to take it: "I'm not cold, my coat is warm." He lowered his head and touched the rough coat, and said embarrassedly, "It's just a bit old, It's what my dad used to wear."
In addition to living expenses, Liao's mother will give Liao Nanqing some extra pocket money.
The money was basically used to pay for water and electricity, and Liao Nanqing was reluctant to buy himself a better winter coat.
His clothes are always wearing those pieces over and over again, and most of them are mainly school uniforms. When the weather is cold, he will fiddle with some old clothes of Liao's father, and wear them if they don't fit. Although rustic, but also warm, Liao Nanqing is still quite afraid of cold.
Subei Mo didn't listen to his nonsense, and wrapped him a scarf domineeringly: "Where have you been in New Year's Eve?"
"what."
Liao Nanqing thought for a while: "Let's live at home." His home refers to the cold home in the small town, and he was reluctant to turn on a heating and air conditioner. What Subei Mo wanted to ask, Liao Nanqing saw it: "I won't go to my mother's side. She gave me an extra 300 yuan this month. I can use this money to buy something delicious."
In fact, to put it bluntly, Liao Nanqing will not buy delicious food. At most, he will cook instant noodles and add eggs.
Subei Mo didn't pierce him and walked silently.
"Actually, I don't like going to my mother's place either. My stepfather doesn't like me very much. I'm more comfortable and happier for the New Year alone." Liao Nanqing saw the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he rounded up and followed Subeimo with strides.
Subei Mo was patient, and his sneakers rattled in the snow.
Liao Nanqing followed his footprints and stepped on several snow pits. Subei Mo in front stopped, Liao Nanqing accidentally bumped into his back, raised his head and smiled, and the sun sank into his two shallow dimples.
Subei Mo frowned and asked uncomfortably, "Have you ever hated your mother?"
"I don't hate it, my mother is also very difficult." Liao Nanqing stopped, "the money she gave me was saved by her secretly, my stepfather didn't know."
Besides, a child like him is undoubtedly a pressure for Liao's mother. Liao Nanqing also wanted to end high school life quickly, go to university and become self-reliant. He also thought that when he would make money in the future, he would also send money to his mother. It is not easy for everyone, he has to understand his mother.
Although he has also complained in his heart, those negative emotions will always disappear with his temperament.
His nature, as always, is kind.
This topic is too dull, and Liao Nanqing doesn't like to talk about it, so he said, "I found a part-time job. I'll help wash the dishes these days. I give fifty a day! It's a lot!"
"Going on New Year's Eve, too?"
"Yeah, many people like to eat New Year's Eve dinners in restaurants now, but they don't have to wash the dishes." Liao Nanqing was rarely so excited and excited, "I can get three hundred and fifty yuan if I go there for seven days! It is very lucky to meet the boss who has 30 red envelopes in those years."
He mentioned it inadvertently, but let Subei Mo know that Liao Nanqing spent almost every thirty years in the past while working. His stepfather must have treated him badly, and his mother was alienating him. As a result, Liao Nanqing did not have much obsession with the 30th year, and he was used to being alone.
However, there were too many acquaintances in the town, and Liao Nanqing didn't want to meet them with dishes, so he could only squat in the back kitchen in the winter to wash the dishes with cold water. Liao Nanqing was only forty for serving dishes and fifty for washing dishes.
Subei Mo responded silently and didn't say much.
Liao Nanqing followed him, taking two steps and running two steps: "I will be watching twelve o'clock on the 30th day of the new year, and I will send you a Happy New Year."
"As you like." Subei Mo said lightly, "You are busy brushing the dishes, do you still have time to send it to me?"
Liao Nanqing insisted, smiled simply, and the two dimples showed warmly in the warm sunshine in winter: "It will definitely happen, and I am not washing dishes all the time."
On the 30th day of the new year, there was no snow at all, and Liao Nanqing went out at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Yesterday, after washing the dishes all afternoon, I had a frostbite on my little finger, which was hard and uncomfortable. He was wearing the thick coat his dad had left, wrapping himself awkwardly. The cold wind didn't feel shivering in the face, but when he remembered the wages paid on the day, his heart felt warm.
The neighborhood he lives in is dilapidated, many residents have moved out, and it is getting harder and harder to meet neighbors up and down the stairs.
Liao Nanqing thought it was good, so that he would not be stared at by them all the time.
When I went downstairs today, the sunlight outside was dazzling, and it was very warm on my forehead. Liao Nanqing's cell phone rang, and when he saw the caller ID, he answered the call immediately.
"Nan Qing, look back."
Without saying a word, Liao Nanqing saw Subei Mo behind him, wearing a long dark coat, standing refreshed on the edge of the abandoned flower bed in the community. There was a car behind him, Su Ya sat in the driver's seat, rolled down the window and waved to Liao Nanqing: "Nanqing, come here!"
"Aunt Su, Subei Mo." Liao Nanqing trotted over and asked in surprise, "Why did you come here?"
Su Ya pointed to the fruit snacks on the back seat: "We were driven out by your grandma Su to buy these."
"A lot." Liao Nanqing glanced enviously. His house was deserted and he didn't buy anything. He didn't even add a new box of instant noodles. Going to the restaurant to wash dishes is for meals, and it also solves his food and clothing problems. One can imagine how satisfied Liao Nanqing is with this part-time job.
Su Ya blinked: "Your grandma Su, gave us a task. We have to take you back for the New Year!"
"what?"
Before Liao Nanqing could react, his body was half-pushed and half-pulled by Subei Mo and got into the car, squeezing with the pile of fruit snacks. He secretly glanced again, most of them are what he likes to eat. Subeimo sat in the co-pilot and said while wearing his seat belt, "You pushed the restaurant over there. It's a big New Year's Eve, we have to have a New Year's Eve dinner together."
Su Ya said, "That's right, restaurants that are celebrating the Chinese New Year should not be open."
Liao Nanqing: …
Subeimo: "Auntie, what you said is a bit exaggerated."
Su Ya: "I don't want to convince Nan Qing to go to our house for the Chinese New Year with you. Your grandmother asked you that Nan Qing was alone for the Chinese New Year, and kept asking me to bring it home. I told her that Nan Qing would meet I'm sorry, but you refused to come, but your grandmother actually got on with me, hey... It's really the water that was thrown out by my raised daughter, and my basin of water is probably frozen outside."
Su Ya is rarely so humorous, and Liao Nanqing knows that she is trying to find a topic for fear of being embarrassed.
So without waiting for her to say anything, Liao Nanqing in the back seat blushed and said, "Aunt Su, I won't wash the dishes today, thank you for taking me with you for the New Year, I'm very happy." Su Ya couldn't help his honest manner. laugh out loud. I don't know how Subei Mo got to know this little boy. He is well-behaved and likable, and he is also handsome.
Even if he has a submissive temperament, he has suffered a lot before thinking about it.
No one's children are petted now, but Liao Nanqing didn't grow up petted at first glance, he was especially good at looking at people's faces.
The Su family spent the New Year at Grandma Su's house all the time. Couplets were pasted on both sides of the door frame, and an upside-down blessing was pasted in the center of the door. The windows are full of red window grilles, cut in a variety of ways, each one is different. These are cut by Grandma Su. She has been ingenious since she was young, and she does not forget to cut some every year when she is old.
Su Jing and Grandma Su had already started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner at home, and Su Ya joined the kitchen as soon as she got home. Leaving Subei Mo and Liao Nanqing in the living room, each with a pot, slowly peeling green beans.
Liao Nanqing peeled very carefully, counting them one by one. The wide coat made him look bloated. Subeimo turned on the heating air conditioner, and soon let Liao Nanqing take off the coat. Liao Nanqing was wearing a loose earth-colored sweater, which was old and oversized and didn't fit at all. Subei Mo guessed at once that this was probably also left by Father Liao.
The result was not, Liao Nanqing explained: "This is my stepfather's. He said it was too old. My mother was reluctant to throw it away. After sorting it, she sent it to me."
Subei Mo:…
He asked Liao Nanqing to put down the basin in his hand and took him to a room in Grandma Su's house. This room has been prepared for him since he was a child, and there are many old things from Subei Mo in it. After rummaging through the boxes, Su Beimo pulled out a sweater he wore in high school, which Su Ya knitted for him.
Although the color is a little old, it looks good because it is hand-woven.
Subei Mo threw it to him: "Change it."
Then he brought in a shopping bag from the table outside with a new coat inside. The style is the most popular this year, and the size is exactly the size that Liao Nanqing wears. Subei Mo helped cut out the logo: "My aunt went to buy it this morning and bought us a similar size. I wanted to give it to you after eating, but you are a big New Year's Eve, so don't wear other people's clothes. "
This 'other' refers to Liao Nanqing's stepfather.
If it was said that he was wearing Liao's father's clothes, Subeimo still felt nothing, but he was wearing his stepfather's clothes, and Subeimo was heartbroken. After all, this stepfather is not good to Liao Nanqing, and Subei Mo knows something.
Liao Nanqing didn't refute, he also wanted to wear Subeimo's old clothes, he obediently changed into his sweater, and seeing Subeimo frowning and sulking, he walked over and tugged at his fingers: "I don't like wearing him either. clothes, I won't wear them in the future."
"I'll buy you a new one."
"No, no, this one is fine." Liao Nanqing was wearing it and felt warm on his body, "I'm wearing this one just right, when did you wear it?"
"The first year of high school." Subei Mo knew what Liao Nanqing was going to say, so he took the first step, "I wasn't even a dwarf at that time, and I was also a short melon."
Liao Nanqing was stunned, isn't that calling him a dwarf melon
After a long while, Liao Nanqing innocently blinked his eyelashes to defend: "I'm not short, but you are too tall."
