That being said, the odds of winning are great.
Gui Xiao has a strong will to win, and after thinking about it, he didn't twist any more, and took the cue.
Billiard cues are also about feel.
She likes a heavier club, which is strong in her hand. The one Lu Chen picked for her is just right.
Lu Chen didn't pay much attention to himself, he guessed that he really planned to let her, took the one closest to him, held it in his right hand, took out the billiards in the bag, and threw it on the table. Everyone sat here for an afternoon, but they didn't see Lu Chen wanting to play. When they came here suddenly, they gathered together with great interest.
The gauze curtain of the window was sucked out by the wind, and brought in by the wind, holding up the empty chair he just sat on.
Gui Xiao made a half circle around the table: "I drive?"
"Of course," Haidong answered on behalf of Lu Chen, "Brother Chen let you go to this place, why won't you tee off?"
Gui Xiao pursed his lower lip, leaned over, and narrowed his eyes to aim. He slammed his hand back and slammed it out, with a muffled thud, hit the big luck, and dropped three balls in one shot.
A few dropouts behind him exclaimed: "Amazing!"
Haidong handed over a cigarette and stuffed it between Lu Chen's lips: "You are going to lose to my sister-in-law."
Lu Chen bit the unlit cigarette, swept his right hand on the edge of the pool table, came back with a dark green putty, rubbed the club head twice, but smiled: "Is it possible?"
It's a pity that after the opening bag, the rest of the ball's position is not good.
She missed the second shot.
When it was Lu Chen's turn, she would no longer have a chance to hit the ball. Only when there were only white balls and 8 black balls left, Meng Xiaoshan couldn't stand it any longer: "Brother Chen, don't bully our family Gui Xiao like this."
Everyone also started booing, and they all asked Lu Chen to put some water. On the contrary, a few girls are not very good at talking, and they muttered that they are all left-handed and one-handed, so why not? Just let Gui Xiao throw it into the bag with his hands.
Lu Chen didn't insist on winning. He rested his hands on the edge of the dark brown and torn pool table, leaned slightly, looked at her, and asked with a smile, "Do you want me to let it go?"
"No." Gui Xiao couldn't hold his face even more when he was asked. He put the club on the shelf and voluntarily conceded defeat.
Lu Chen didn't say much, he hit his hand with one shot, and the ball almost flew towards the mouth of the pocket and fell into the pocket.
Won.
It wasn't a fiasco in terms of the number of goals scored, but she was single-handed and left-handed, so she had to tie her hands upside down and let her win.
Gui Xiao lost completely and lost face. He rubbed the sweat on his hands and ran out on the pretext of going to the boutique house in town to buy something. The auntie of the kebabs has no business, and uses a fan to fan the charcoal stove at will, watching the young people squatting outside the billiard hall and flirting with the girl.
Gui Xiao locked the car, stepped on it hastily, and jumped down again with a scream of "ah".
The car seat burned to death and forgot to park in the shade…
The young people who were teasing the girl were amused. Gui Xiao glanced back and saw that Lu Chen also came out, kicking the boy who was squatting at the most door. "Brother Chen, are you gone?" The boy grinned and took two steps to the side. Lu Chen nodded, pushed out his unlocked mountain bike parked by the door, and stepped on it.
In the dazzling sunlight, the cyclist swept past her eyes and disappeared when she turned a corner.
Later that night, Gui Xiao realized that it was the college entrance examination these days, so Lu Chen should be in the examination room instead of the billiards hall? She turned nine and eighteen bends on the phone and tried to ask Meng Xiaoshan, but Meng Xiaoshan didn't notice her careful thinking, and told her that there was a big problem at Lu Chen's house the day before, and it took until the next afternoon to solve it, and she missed the first day of the morning. an exam.
It is estimated that it is not repeating, or picking up his dad's auto repair shop.
In this school, dropping out of school is common, and repeating school is not a big deal. Meng Xiaoshan spoke in a relaxed tone, and the little Jiujiu in Gui Xiao's heart became heavier and heavier: repeat the reading, repeat the reading, this is an alumni again.
It's a pity that after school started, she didn't see him in the third class, thinking, maybe she really went to pick up the auto repair shop to be the boss of Xiaotu. Gui Xiao has no friendship with him, and naturally there will be no intersection, but when he thinks of the name Lu Chen, his heart is always empty.
Until late winter came, one day riding a bicycle past the small pancake stand at the school gate, and saw him and Haidong squatting there, chatting with the aunt who was selling pancakes. When Gui Xiao turned his head to look in surprise, Haidong called out, "Sister-in-law, come here, brother, please eat pancakes."
Gui Xiao braked suddenly and nearly fell into the snow-covered pine bushes...
Lu Chen put his palm against her handlebar: "Take it easy."
Gui Xiao's ears rumbled all the sound of his own small and rapid breathing, but he jumped down quite calmly. Lu Chen helped her carry the small bicycle to the pancake stand and supported her. Haidong greeted her and asked her aunt to add pancakes to her: "Look at my sister-in-law's thin, two eggs, pick the bigger one."
The aunt agreed, picked up a large powder-shell egg, cracked it, and sprinkled it on the bread.
Gui Xiao put his hands in his pockets, waiting for his pancakes.
There were a lot of promotional stickers on the glass around the car, which was gray and hard to wipe off. She inadvertently looked through the glass and saw him propping his hand on the seat of his bicycle, watching the two big boys chatting. Seeing that he turned back, she immediately lowered her head and continued to look at the steaming pancakes, and then quietly glanced at—
Lu Chen didn't shy away, he was really looking at her, but Gui Xiao didn't hide and looked back at him.
Later, the regulars of the pancake stall flocked, and the two looked away amid the peaceful hilarity of the morning. When Gui Xiao took the hot pancake, her heart was still pounding...
Because I saw him before the self-study, Gui Xiao's heart was like floating on the fluffy snow, hanging there.
Unexpectedly, when the last class was over, she was still cleaning up the papers for the teacher that had just finished the exam. Hai Jianfeng, who was at the same table, jumped up two steps to the door, ran in and said, "I'll be waiting for you at the school gate, my brother today. Birthday."
"Ah?" Gui Xiao hadn't heard of it, "Am I going to buy a gift?"
"Come on you, you will give plush toys to everyone in our class on their birthdays, and you will almost empty the boutique house. Sister Meng said, let you come empty-handed."
"Then wait for me, I'll hand in the papers!" Gui Xiao was overjoyed and ran away.
After handing in the papers, she jumped down the office steps and ran backwards to the class during the school break.
Haidong's birthday, he must be there.
Sure enough, not only was there, it was simply that he provided a place to eat.
The auto repair shop Meng Xiaoshan mentioned was not in the town, and it took forty minutes to drive along the canal in good weather. It was completely dark halfway through the ride, but fortunately Meng Xiaoshan instructed Hai Jianfeng to wait for her and go with her. The two of them rode hard for a full hour against the northwest wind, and her ears hurt so much that she was about to cry.
Turning right, the big dirt slope slid all the way down, and the two slipped their car to the gate of the repair shop.
The three-meter-high dark green iron door was hung with a black lock. The small door beside the iron door was open. Lu Chen was waiting for them in the reception room beside the small door. When he saw Gui Xiao coming, he pushed open the glass door and walked out.
The feeling when the two looked at each other in the morning was still there, but when Gui Xiaomeng saw him appearing, he felt a little awkward.
"Brother Chen!" Hai Jianfeng roared respectfully.
Lu Chen nodded.
He stretched out his hand, took the handlebars of the small bicycle from Gui Xiao's hand, carried the back seat, and moved it in through the small door for her. Gui Xiao followed him in. The gate was directly opposite a large factory building. The gate was only five or six meters high, and there were brick buildings on the left and right sides of the factory building.
Lu Chen threw her car next to a pile of bicycles in the corner and beckoned to let them in.
More than a dozen vehicles of various types, some suspended or parked on the concrete floor.
There were more than a dozen adults working in it, and they didn't pay much attention to their half-year-old children. It was estimated that Lu Chen was used to bringing people back to mix things up, so he was not surprised.
Go all the way to the end, turn a corner, is a house.
Lu Chen pushed the door open with his knees, and the steaming hot pot steamed from the door. When Meng Xiaoshan saw Gui Xiao, she immediately pushed a boy beside her and let her seat out. The room full of people, unlike the pool hall last time, these faces are obviously much older. Gui Xiao sat down and listened to them drinking and chatting, and probably guessed that these people were old classmates of Haidong and Lu Chen in the past.
Because the weather was too cold, several men were wrapped in green military coats to keep out the cold.
Lu Chen sat down in the corner, he was the only one still wearing his school uniform.
Gui Xiao glanced around quietly, there was a bed, a cabinet and a wooden table, plus the clothes scattered on the sofa and the sneakers on the shoe rack in the corner... This should be where he lived
Not long after she sat down, someone joked, is this Hai Jianfeng's girlfriend
"Where, this is my sister." Hai Jianfeng waved his hand with a sincere expression.
Meng Xiaoshan smiled: "This brat can't catch up with Gui Xiao."
She popularized Gui Xiao's achievements, coupled with the physical education students and the school choir, she was definitely the favorite of teachers of all subjects, except for the dean of course. Just because Gui Xiao hung out with them all day, he was named and criticized for two years. At the beginning, he even deleted the list of the first group to join the group.
The people in this room had either dropped out of school or had repeated grades. No one had studied hard enough. Their relationship with a little girl like Gui Xiao was like the relationship between the students in the first row and the last row of the class. The two worlds do not meet.
They were not interested in listening to the previous ones, but they all laughed when they heard about joining the group at the end. They were all people who had been criticized by the dean, and they were deeply touched.
Lu Chen remained silent, dragged a chair over, and sat leaning against it. I didn't drink, I seldom chatted, and after listening to a few sentences, I took out my mobile phone and came over to take a look. I went out from time to time, and after a while, I came in with new dishes. In the winter, although there was a long row of silver heating pipes in the east corner, the room couldn't be kept too high, and Gui Xiao was too cold to take off his down jacket halfway through his meal.
Lu Chen was wearing a thin cotton high school uniform, and he was even taller and thinner among the group of people wrapped in military coats and down jackets.
This drink is after ten o'clock.
When the crowd was about to leave, Meng Xiaoshan saw that Haidong was very drunk, so he called Haidong's father and asked his family to pick him up, and he followed in a hurry. The fire dissipated after hula, leaving the two of them in the room.
Lu Chen rolled up his cuffs, copied a few empty bottles, and threw them to the bamboo basket by the wall outside the door: "Sit down for a while, and I'll take you back."
Gui Xiao nodded and sat on the sofa.
After watching him clean up for a while, he felt that something was wrong. He was also a meal eater, so should he also clean up? But she has never worked, and doesn't know where to start.
Lu Chen was very quick, fished out the remaining bottles, and went out with two more plates.
She glanced out the door, got up from the sofa and followed, helping out. Suddenly, there was the sound of a plate breaking.
The door was slammed open, and Gui Xiao screamed and fell to the ground. Senseless. In front of Lu Chen's shoulders against the door, he hung two layers of locks neatly. When he saw Gui Xiao out of the corner of his eye, he grabbed her with his hands.
Backhand, push her behind.
"Get out!" It was a middle-aged male voice, his voice was muddy and drunk.
Gui Xiao was in front of him, behind the wall, his chest heaving violently, he couldn't control his fear.
Lu Chen's voice was colder than the strong wind outside: "There is someone in the house."
A loud bang.
Gui Xiao saw that the black door bolts were raised by the shock, and became more and more panicked, and his heart jumped with fear.
There was another loud bang, and the glass two meters above the door trembled.
Lu Chen was in a hurry, and slammed his fist on the door frame: "Damn! It's really someone! My daughter-in-law is not wearing clothes!"
…
Gui Xiao's ears buzzed with these words... Silly.
Although he was scolding outside, he obviously restrained himself a lot because of these words, mocking that the kid was learning, and he was looking for a daughter-in-law. Immediately after that, he kicked the door a few more times, but he didn't have to use all his strength, but he still took advantage of the wine to carry his breath.
Soon the voices of the third and fourth men caught up, it was a car mechanic. Everyone persuaded and dragged the person outside the door away. Gui Xiao was still stunned, there was a loud bang, and something hit the door: "Still going to school! Don't fucking kill me!"
Gui Xiao shivered again.
"Lu Chen, let's take your dad home first, you are still sleeping in the factory tonight!"
Lu Chen put his shoulders against the wooden door, let out a long sullen breath, and kept pinching the bridge of his nose with his right thumb and index finger, forcing his calm: "Thank you, Uncle Liu."
"It's alright! Wait a minute, don't rush out!"
…
There were new bruises on his arm, which had just been hit with a wrench and hurt. Looking back at Gui Xiao, she was so shocked that she didn't fully wake up, she clenched her fists and pinched her palms, her fingernails turning white.
