"War and Peace" had been read by Ji Shenyu for most of the time, and the golden bookmark was just in use and was properly clipped inside. He knew that Ding Hanbai looked down on him, and he also knew that Ding Hanbai was just sympathetic that night, he didn't care, he could do whatever he wanted.
Ding Hanbai didn't care either. He was indulged in a critical temper since he was a child. After a moment of sympathy, Ji Shenyu was no different. Poor though pitiful, incompetence is really incompetent, at most he remembered the moment when the other party was soft-hearted, and nothing else.
The weather was too hot, and it was annoying to eat together. Ding Houkang's family was in their own yard, and Ding Yanshou's family was in the front yard. Before the dishes were ready, Ding Yanshou took out a file and said, "Shen Yu, I entrusted you with a student registration at No. 6 Middle School."
Ji Shenyu was holding the plate and almost spilled the vegetable soup. After putting it down, he wiped his hands vigorously before picking it up: "Thank you, Master, when do I go to school?"
"Summer vacation is coming soon, you can take classes in any class first, wait for the final exam to see how your grades are, and then ask the teacher to arrange a fixed class for you." Ding Yanshou was very happy and poured a glass of wine, "The dean and I know each other. , Fang Xu came here to play back then, and gave him a peach and plum tree with three-color hibiscus, which is still in his office today."
Ji Shenyu didn't speak much at home, thinking about things silently in his heart. When the stone fell, even eating was more appetizing than usual. Ding Hanbai ate with his head silent as if he was eating rice. He had been resting for several days, and he was bored and in no mood.
Jiang Shuliu looked at him: "You go to the store if you don't go to work. It's so ugly for a young man to be idle."
Ding Hanbai carried the almonds: "Yupinji doesn't have any business. It's better to be idle at home than in the store."
He couldn't open the pot and lift it. Ding Yanshou worried day and night about how to revive the company, but his own son didn't care, and said, "Anyway, you are idle, then you can pick up Shenyu to and from school."
Ding Hanbai put down his chopsticks, and when he met his parents' eyes, he knew it was useless to refute. Also, Ji Shenyu was unfamiliar with the place, and since he came here, he didn't seem to have been out of the house except for Yupinji.
He recalled Ji Shenyu's wiping oil, and thought of the deep boudoir who did not go to the door.
With a puff of joy, he agreed: "Pearl, then Shige will give it to you."
Ji Shenyu must have goosebumps when he heard this title, he squeezed the porcelain spoon and said, "Thank you, brother."
This "shige" reminded Ding Yanshou, he pointed at Ding Hanbai and looked at Ji Shenyu, and said, "Shenyu, you can't waste your craftsmanship in school. Our business is the main business, and the others are side businesses. You Since you recognize me as your master, I will teach you everything you know, and it's the same for Han Bai to teach you when you can't find me."
Ji Shenyu confirmed: "Senior brother is the same as you?"
Ding Yanshou laughed, he only scolded this point in his life: "Your brother's words and actions are annoying, but you can't be picky." He looked at Ding Hanbai and couldn't help but blame, "Shen Yu has been here for so long. , you two didn't learn from each other? Why did you live in the same yard?"
Ding Hanbai's expression is like he can't bear to listen, let's learn from each other? He was embarrassed to tell Ding Yanshou the truth, for fear that Ji Shen would be embarrassed. He raised his eyes and glanced, but Ji Shenyu looked at him with a magnanimous expression.
He felt that this little Nan Manzi's face was like clear white jade, but the thickness was really not thin.
Ji Shenyu has never seen anything from Ding Han Bai Diao since he came here. He only knows that the other party is picky when he eats, speaks ruthlessly, and idles away from work.
Mainly because I don't believe that skill is superior to oneself.
One of them was arrogantly exposed and the other was arrogantly restrained, neither of them looked down on the other, let alone convinced. In the evening, when they returned to the small courtyard together, Ji Shenyu said, "Senior brother, we will go to school tomorrow morning." He was afraid that Ding Hanbai would fall asleep again.
"Go ahead." Ding Hanbai didn't stop, "It depends on your final exam score."
Ji Shenyu was not worried in vain. He packed up the next morning, but Ding Hanbai's bedroom door was still closed, and the air conditioner in the corner of his back was working all night, leaking a pool of cold water. Seeing that he still had time to spare, he sat in the corridor and waited, taking out the textbooks for review.
After waiting for half an hour, he would be late if he didn't leave. He knocked on the door: "Master, are you awake?"
There was no movement inside, and Ji Shenyu knocked harder: "Senior brother, you should be late for school."
Ding Hanbai was dreaming a big dream in the Spring and Autumn Period. He dreamed that Zhang Yin came back from Fujian and brought back a box of defective products. If the knock on the door was not louder and louder, he would have to go deeper and dream for a while. With sleepy eyes and irritability, Ji Shenyu was startled by slamming the door open with his slippers and shirtless.
"It's like urging your life." Ding Hanbai went to wash up, not in a hurry. Ji Shenyu was anxious, and went into the bedroom to prepare clothes for the other party. As soon as he touched the wardrobe, he committed an occupational disease, and his eyes wandered. He sniffed with the tip of his nose, tapped with his fingers, and tasted the hardness, luster, and smell of the wood.
Ding Hanbai came in after washing up, dozing off against the door frame: "Fall in love with my wardrobe?"
Ji Shenyu didn't look back: "This wood is so good, I have to find it in Yangzhou with a lantern."
"It's hard to find here." Ding Hanbai felt that Ji Shenyu was very knowledgeable, he stepped forward and opened the cabinet door, picked out a pair of underwear, and put it on in front of Ji Shenyu. While tying the belt, he ordered people: "Button me up."
Ji Shenyu immediately stretched out his hand and quickly buttoned Ding Hanbai's shirt. When he was close, he was facing Ding Hanbai's Adam's apple, so he rolled his mouth: "Senior brother, school is over at half past six."
Ding Hanbai said, "I've been there, you don't need to tell me."
Ji Shenyu withdrew his hand and hesitated: "Then you will pick me up earlier?"
He only knows people from the Ding family here. Even if Ding Hanbai turns his nose and eyes on him, he is the most familiar, but he is different to Ding Hanbai, he is not as good as relatives and friends, and it is not worth worrying about.
Just like he couldn't get up in the morning, he was afraid that Ding Hanbai would forget to pick up in the afternoon.
It was too late to go out, Ding Hanbai drove the car so fast that Ji Shenyu almost vomited, but it was still too late. The iron gate of the school was closed, Ji Shenyu got out of the car and knocked on the door alone, and explained to the uncle of the guard room in every possible way, but he had neither ID nor school uniform, so they were not allowed to enter.
Ji Shenyu dug out the file: "Master, I'm a new transfer student. Today is the first day of class."
"Parents have to go through the formalities for a new transfer, otherwise, how can you prove it?" The uncle was holding an enamel tank. "So late in class on the first day? It's too outrageous."
The car had turned around. Ding Hanbai saw everything in the rearview mirror, so he had to turn off the car and get out. He trotted over and said, "Master, what are the procedures? I'll do it for him. What if you don't let him in?"
The uncle fainted: "Are you his brother?"
Ding Hanbai stretched out his hand and crossed the fence to find the iron bolt. He opened the door and pushed in. The uncle started to quarrel. He stood in front of him and grabbed the strap of Ji Shenyu's schoolbag with his backhand. shouted: "What hysteria! Run!"
Ji Shenyu ran to the teaching building, and when he met the teacher, he showed his origin and was brought into a class smoothly. After taking a seat and breathing evenly, I couldn't help worrying about what happened to Ding Hanbai at the school gate.
Ding Hanbai is very good, and he can still laugh and scold when his uncle twists his arm: "Look for the photo wall of outstanding graduates in the hall to see if there is my Ding Hanbai? Open the door of your alma mater, what's wrong? The reliefs were carved by my dad with me!"
The uncle has worked here for more than ten years: "Ding what? You are Ding Hanbai!"
Ding Hanbai pulled away his stretched collar: "I just graduated from here, I'm not some criminal, don't worry?"
The uncle was so angry that he shoved him and yelled at him: "It's you kid! At that time, the teachers were engraved on the beams of the cars, what a tortoise bastard, what homework can't be done, I can't catch people deducting wages every day, you kid A stomach full of bad water!"
Ding Hanbai had long forgotten the old things and ran away with a smile. He could hear the uncle's scolding when he got into the car. It was only when he drove down the street that he gradually remembered that at that time, he had a heavy pencil case, a pen and four knives, and any teacher who bothered him would engrave letters on the beams of other cars, in teeny small letters, and brushed a layer of gold ink after the engraving.
Passing by the Cultural Relics Bureau, he turned the steering wheel in, and he rested for more than a week. Director Zhang should have returned. He wanted to see if the other party brought anything.
There were still those people in the office, and when they saw Ding Hanbai entering the door, it was lively. Ding Hanbai was usually generous, and he never cared about doing a favor or anything, and his popularity was good. He pouted towards the director's office and asked, "Are you back?"
The colleague nodded: "Director Zhang and Team Leader Shi are sharing the spoils."
Ding Hanbai went to sell the leave, and when he returned, he happened to meet the leader of Shang Shi. He found that the leader of Shi was thin, which shows that this business trip was hard. He went up to him, brewed tea for the other party with the kettle in his hand, and asked, "Team Leader, do you miss me?"
Team Leader Shi glanced at the office and gritted his back molars: "I miss you every day!"
A large number of marine effluent cultural relics were salvaged in Fujian, and the cultural relics bureaus in various places went to see them. They held a conference, initially screened, limited to purchase, and worked hard to get around. Team leader Shi gave him a punch: "I have to rest for a few days, then you Run errands for me."
Ding Hanbai asked, "Didn't you buy anything?"
Team Leader Shi threw another punch: "You only care about these!" He lowered his voice and said quietly, "Those with minor damages must be submitted for approval. I only selected some with severe damage. I will not make the decisions for exhibitions in the city, but Director Zhang pick,."
Ding Hanbai's heart was itching unbearably: "I'll treat you tonight, let me see?"
He had no other thoughts all day, and worked hard to finish the accumulated work, just waiting to get off work and feast his eyes on Team Leader Shi. At half past six, I got in the car and pulled the other party, went to the hotel to pack a few dishes, and went straight to the other party's house.
The unit room was a little stuffy. Ding Hanbai had no time to drink and eat. He unfolded the old sheets and laid them out. He took out the fragments of cultural relics brought back by Team Leader Shi, and squatted beside the bed to enjoy it. Team Leader Shi came over and asked, "It's all junk, do you like it?"
Ding Hanbai covered his mouth and nose to cut off the fishy smell of the sea, and murmured: "I'm interested in antiques. The water-derived cultural relics on the market are all too fake. Unfortunately, these are too bad, but broken jade is better than full tiles."
Team Leader Shi waved his hand: "Then you take it all. Your sister-in-law won't let you keep this pile of broken porcelain and pottery. There are coil bugs on it, and it's dirty."
Ding Hanbai immediately packed up, for fear that the other party would go back on it, now he can take it home and study it slowly. After cleaning up and sitting down to eat, it was already dark outside, and the weather forecast was almost finished. He knocked on the crab shell and suddenly had a meal, feeling that he had forgotten something.
Team Leader Shi asked, "Why did you drive here today? Then stop drinking."
How to drive? Because driving is fast, why do you have to hurry, because you will be late when you go out late... Ding Han put down his chopsticks with a slap, he forgot to pick up Ji Shenyu from school!
The pile of "rubbish" was placed on the seat of the car. He was afraid to drive too fast for fear of breaking it. Ding Hanbai took a short cut and reached the entrance of No. 6 Middle School.
He got out of the car and shouted through the iron gate, "Master! Has that transfer student left in the morning?"
The uncle came out: "Take my window and watch the news network before leaving."
Ding Hanbai drove away, paying attention to both sides of the street all the way, but it was impossible for the car to drive too slowly, and there were always places that could not be seen clearly. He guessed that Ji Shenyu might have already arrived home, so he simply rushed home.
There was no one in the living room in the front yard, Ding Yanshou took Jiang Shuliu to celebrate his friend's birthday. Ding Hanbai ran into the small courtyard and found that the door was closed with black lights. Ji Shenyu didn't come back. He ran back to the front yard bedroom to find Jiang Caiwei and asked, "Auntie, is Ji Shenyu back?"
"No, isn't Shen Yu going to school today?" Jiang Caiwei said, "Aren't you in charge of picking up and dropping off? I thought you took him out to eat..."
Ding Hanbai turned around and left before he finished listening, got on his bicycle and rushed into the night, riding along the street while shouting. The home is quite far from the school, and the car is fast in the morning, Ji Shenyu must not remember the way, and he is not sure where he is going.
Ji Shenyu was indeed lost. He waited at the school gate for an hour, and the school was all empty. Recalling the way back, the more I walked, the more hungry it became. It was bigger than Yangzhou, the road was so wide, and the street lights were far apart. He passed by a lake, and he didn't remember the lake when he came. He went around again and entered the park from the lake.
There are weeping willows and roses along the street, and the newsstand is locking the door. He went over to ask Yupinji how to get there, and they said it was far away. He looked up at the moon, and the moon here was the same as in Yangzhou.
He wanted to go back to Yangzhou and wanted to call Ji Fangxu "Dad" once in his life.
He clearly reminded Ding Hanbai to come pick him up earlier, why didn't Ding Hanbai come
Is it because the lucky bamboo he carved is too bad, or because he used fake jade to deceive people, or because he didn't borrow the book "Like Mountains and Seas". Ji Shenyu continued to walk, and Mingyue Qinghui on his back felt a burden. He was next to the root of the wall. The red wall and black tiles were beautiful, so he continued to walk along.
When Ding Hanbai saw Ji Shenyu, the other party was looking at a circle of bird nests under the eaves.
"Jizhuzhu." He shouted.
Ji Shenyu didn't show any expression, joy or disappointment, nothing.
Ding Hanbai pushed the cart over, stretched out his hand and took off the schoolbag on Ji Shenyu's shoulder. He didn't know how to speak, but in the end it was the virtue: "Why don't you wait for me, why are you running around?"
Ji Shenyu said, "I know you won't pick me up."
"what?"
"I know you didn't intend to pick me up at all."
"I just forgot..." Ding Hanbai squeezed the bell, revealing his guilty conscience, "I have something to do, I forgot. Why don't I come out to find you, get in the car."
The bicycle walked slowly and steadily along the street, the schoolbag was hanging on the handlebars, Ding Hanbai was sweating when he was looking for someone, and the clothes on his back were sticking to the flesh. Ji Shenyu grabbed the spring under the seat, slightly bent his legs and trembled slightly.
"Are you hungry?", "What did you learn today?", "The classmate didn't ask you to say a few words of Yangzhou dialect?" Ding Hanbai asked a bunch of questions, but he didn't get a half-word response. He braked suddenly, "You What are you thinking about? You ask the janitor tomorrow if I went or not, and if you forget it, you just forget it, don't make it seem like I don't want you on purpose."
Ji Shenyu punched him on the back with a fist: "You can't forget it!"
Ding Hanbai was stunned for a moment, and understood Ji Shenyu's subtext. He did forget, but for Ji Shenyu it was no different from being thrown away, because the feelings at the time were the same.
When the tired bird was about to return to its nest, Ji Shenyu stood at the school gate and waited until the crowd had left, just as embarrassed as when he left Yangzhou.
He was at a loss for words, and Ji Shenyu said, "I'll remember the way very soon, can't you forget it before I remember it?" His voice was very soft this time.
Ding Hanbai kicked home in one breath, Jiang Caiwei waited for them at the gate, and cooked dinner. Ji Shenyu didn't eat, and went back to the bedroom to do his homework. Ding Hanbai begged Jiang Caiwei: "Go and bring him something to eat."
Jiang Caiwei finished the meal: "You go by yourself."
Ding Hanbai returned to the small courtyard with the bowl in one hand, and saw that the door, which was usually hidden, was tightly closed, and no one answered when he knocked on it. "I'm in." After he finished speaking, he pushed the door open. The light was on and there were books on the table, but Ji Shenyu was not there.
He guessed that Ji Shenyu had gone to take a shower, so he put down the bowl and left quickly, so as to avoid unpleasant encounters.
After the night passed, Ding Hanbai got up early, took a pump and was about to hit the tires. When he approached, he found a line of small characters on the cross beam of the car.
Eye-catching - "Bastard bastard!"
