"What are you looking at?" Gu Zhun glanced at Zhang Heng, probably already guessed Zhang Heng's evil intentions. After all, Gu Zhun would feel this kind of sight in every swimming class seven years ago. He didn't feel anything unusual before, but now it's different—it feels like Zhang Heng is going to eat him.
"I'm on guard for you."
Gu Zhun was speechless: "...No need."
Zhang Heng had no choice but to say: "No, you need it."
…
Zhang Heng stood on the side watching, although his back was facing Gu Zhun, but Gu Zhun always felt that Zhang Heng was secretly looking behind him, because there was a faint chill on his back.
"Can you go farther away to watch?" Gu Zhun couldn't help asking, but he didn't explain why Zhang Heng went farther away, because he couldn't tell because he cared about Zhang Heng's gaze and couldn't pull it out. Obviously, the desire to urinate is about to break through the sky.
Of course Zhang Heng would not let go of this kind of amusing opportunity, so he asked, "Why?"
"Because... because... you are here, I can't pull out..."
Zhang Heng let out a "puchi" laugh: "Hahahahaha! Gu Zhun, you like me too much, don't you? Do you care so much if you like me?"
Gu Zhun slapped Zhang Heng to shut up: "You don't care!" Zhang Heng then obediently shut up, because he knew what Gu Zhun looked like when he was angry—just as he was doing homework, someone suddenly knocked his mouth shut. After the homework was opened, the correct answer was clearly short of the last step, but the anger of being interrupted midway—yes, the one who lifted the homework was Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng finally obediently walked a little further away, and then obediently and honestly turned his back to Gu Zhun and went to watch. However, in such a secluded country, the sound of Gu Zhun's urination can naturally reach Zhang Heng's ears. Zhang Heng unconsciously imagined it when he heard it. Gu Zhun also guessed that Zhang Heng heard it, and even more so Embarrassing, but you can't back down halfway, right
Zhang Heng was very happy, Gu Zhun was very embarrassed, and quickly resolved the incident of the burst of urination.
Gu Zhun and Zhang Heng sat back in the car, started the car and continued to go deeper into the countryside. Even though it was dark night, Gu Zhun seemed to be familiar with the scenery outside the car window. He seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he just didn't know where it was... All he knew was that this was a valley, and the car drove a little further to reach the mountainside. They were walking Winding road.
Maybe if you drive up again, the car will not be able to drive.
In the car, Zhang Heng asked Gu Zhun: "How are you doing now?" Zhang Heng wanted to ask Gu Zhun how he was feeling now? Excited? Or regret agreeing to him to come and visit his father
Gu Zhun lowered his head and touched his heartbeat, it was indeed beating very fast - there was a kind of excitement about bursting soap bubbles, but there was also a kind of terror about stepping on a balloon.
"..." Although Gu Zhun was very afraid of what would happen after seeing his father, Gu Zhun just said, "What you said, everything is yours."
Zhang Heng smiled gratifiedly: "Yes, with me here, I won't be afraid of anything."
Gu Zhun nodded.
For the rest of the journey, both of them remained silent. Because he was driving at night on the Panshan Highway, Gu Zhun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, did not dare to close his eyes. He was afraid that if he was silent, no one would chat with Zhang Heng, and Zhang Heng would fall asleep. This is very dangerous.
But originally, Gu Zhun rarely talked—
So Gu Zhun turned on the radio, and the radio station was playing Tan Weiwei's song leisurely - a kind and melodious holiday melody - "Waiting for the migratory bird to fly back..."
Gu Zhun also hummed along with the melody. Zhang Heng, who was sitting in the driver's seat and looking at the front, slowed down the car and listened quietly to Gu Zhun humming. real
I hope this time will last longer.
Sing in the lyrics - "The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old slowly with you"
Is it right? Gu Zhun.
Yes, Zhang Heng.
After a night of driving, there was a break at a gas station. By the morning of the next day, the RV had left the mountain and drove onto the national road on the plain.
"Are you there?" Gu Zhun rubbed his sleepy eyes, got up and looked around.
The rising sun shone on the caravan, projected in, and shone on the quilt covering the body.
"Did you cover the quilt for me?" Gu Zhun asked, looking down at the quilt that he didn't know when it was covered. Obviously he didn't take the quilt to the front row seat yesterday to keep watch with Zhang Heng. Could it be that he was so sleepy that he fell asleep unknowingly halfway, and Zhang Heng helped him build it
Zhang Heng nodded yes. Then they got out of the RV, and Gu Zhun also got out of the RV. The two entered the bedroom space of the RV, and took out dry food from the storage box inside—a few fluffy breads. Tomorrow is the expiration date, so we still have to finish eating early good.
Zhang Heng gave Vitasoy to Gu Zhun, and Gu Zhun took it. Zhang Heng lifted the bread and took a bite, saying, "The bread is a bit dry, drink some milk, and you can grow taller by the way."
"... not long."
"Don't give up on yourself."
The two of them chatted like this. After having a full breakfast, take a rest and refresh, the two set off again.
Finally arrived at Gu Zhun's hometown at noon - it was indeed very remote from the big city. When going to the ancestral house of Gu Zhun's hometown, he also passed the small house where Gu Zhun's family lived in a small county town.
This small house is now rented by an aunt as a fast food restaurant.
Zhang Heng and Gu Zhun stopped the car, walked to this store, ordered two fast food, and took them away. Because the tables and chairs in the store are very low and the built-in is dirty, but the customers are already full.
While waiting for the meal, Zhang Heng chatted with the aunt and proprietress casually, just like old neighbors. The passers-by around all stopped, why would such a handsome man stop to chat with a middle-aged aunt like an aunt
In fact, Zhang Heng has always liked to chatter.
"Auntie, how many years have you been doing business here?" Zhang Heng played with the disposable chopsticks and paid for two fast food by the way.
The aunt was stirring the iron spoon and iron pan in her hand, the peppers and sliced meat in the pan were tumbling up and down, and the oily smoke was everywhere. Even so, it still couldn't stop the aunt and Zhang Heng from chatting nonsense.
"I have been working here for more than ten years! I just lost my job at the time and saved a sum of money. I wanted to make some money by my cooking skills. Maybe I could help the family? Just when I passed by here, posted I was inspired by the lease, and the price was very cheap, so I rented it, and the landlord is also a good person, who has been letting me rent it at the original price for so many years, except for the price increase in recent years."
Zhang Heng felt a little strange, why the price had basically not increased in the past ten years, but the price has increased in the past few years. So he asked: "Auntie's landlord must be a kind person. Something must have happened in recent years to raise the rent?"
The aunt spread out the fried food on a stainless steel plate and yelled at her children to come over and serve the food—"Goddam! Serve the food! That young couple is at the table!" Then she turned her head and turned to the handsome guy who was chatting with her Zhang Heng said, "Handsome guy, that young couple came before you, wait a little longer, I'll fire you now."
Zhang Heng smiled, showing a tolerant expression:
"It's okay, we're not in a hurry."
Auntie saw that there are still customers who are so leisurely during the lunch break during such a busy commute, regardless of the slow delivery of food, so how can she be neglected? And seeing the car they drive over seems to be very big, it should be very expensive, right
So he yelled to the inner shop: "You son of a bitch! Move out the small bench and invite the distinguished guests to sit down!"
So Goudan obediently took two small benches for Zhang Heng and Gu Zhun to sit on. After Gu Zhun sat down, it was fine, but Zhang Heng's two long legs were a little aggrieved and he didn't know where to put them.
The aunt was concentrating on cooking, and Zhang Heng pried away the past family history, so she began to narrate her own family history—
"At that moment, I just lost my job and was very disappointed, but after all, I have also studied, and I understand that nothing is difficult in this world, as long as there is a heart! So I decided to make my own Make a career out of it, according to the current words, it is entrepreneurship.”
Zhang Heng, who was sitting on the side, nodded and smiled slightly at critical moments, indicating that he was listening to the auntie, and motioned her to continue—but it didn't matter.
Gu Zhun also listened to the aunt telling stories.
"I was just wandering on the street thinking about where to open a store. I don't have much money, so I definitely can't open a store in the center of the county seat. Then I came here, just in time to see a man posting a red note - it said housing for rent."
Zhang Heng once heard from Gu Li that this small house was bought by her father after saving up a little bit, and this house was the only most valuable thing in their family.
Could that man be Gu Zhun's father? Gu Zhun's father must be the owner of the property. At that time, Gu Zhun's father had already rented out the house, so how did Gu Zhun and Gu Li get through these ten years
Zhang Heng didn't suddenly interrupt the aunt to ask Gu Zhun this question. He continued to listen.
The aunt also continued talking.
"I was a little moved, because although this small house is a little small, it is only one floor, which is barely ok, and it is also close to the main road, so the business will not be bad. I went up and asked him about the rent, and the rent happened to be low. It was within my acceptable range, so I rented it without any coincidence."
Zhang Heng nodded. I didn't expect this aunt to understand the principle that shops near the road are generally prosperous places...
The aunt still recalled with endless enthusiasm: "At that time, I got up early and stayed late, and I went to the wholesale market to buy goods in the morning. I didn't close until early in the morning. Occasionally, I met a few drunks who came to eat supper at three in the morning. I had to do it for them. Cook the food, or if they pick up the beer bottle, they will die..." Then the master talked about her bitter history.
Zhang Heng didn't care about the aunt's history of making a fortune and suffering. He only cared about whether the landlord was Gu Zhun's father. Why did Gu Zhun's father rent the house to others after the divorce? Obviously I have nothing but the house and I have to rent him to someone else...
Unless Gu Zhun's father has a way out - that is, he still has a house to live in.
Moreover, Gu Zhun's father may be using this stupid way to force Gu Li to take Gu Zhun to a further place, and is also forcing Gu Li to give up his studies and work to raise his two siblings.
"Auntie, when you pay the rent, do you go to the landlord's house to pay?"
The aunt actually shook her head and said, "No... I have always paid rent in the bank. I haven't seen my landlord since that time. Although I have always had a contractual relationship with him, because ten A few years ago we signed like a 15-year deal."
"...that would be weird..."
