Chapter 19: growing up

Views:

A week later, Dou Xunru honestly packed up the admission ticket and walked into the college entrance examination room this year.

No. 6 Middle School is the test center for the college entrance examination. The whole school started the holiday half a day earlier. Auntie Du went into a state of neuropathy with full firepower. The chatter turned into a heavy machine gun. Doudou called out twice and was beaten badly.

The evening before the exam, Auntie Du went out of the door in a hurry, and came back to get a yellow paper talisman and put Dou Xun under the pillow, claiming that she had been in the temple for half an hour by car. requested.

Xu Xilin thought for a while, and said in a puzzled tone, "I heard that there is also called 'Hongniang Temple'. Others go there to seek marriage. Auntie, did you enter the wrong service window?"

Xu Xilin was also beaten because of his lack of words. The tool used to beat Doudou was the same broom stick... and was asked to stand at the door and recite "Amitabha Buddha" ten times.

Xu Xilin shook his head and pronounced "Amitabha Buddha" in the tune of "a big river". Dou Xun squatted on the stairs and looked at him and smiled. He was accidentally discovered by Xu Xilin, so he jumped up and made trouble.

Aunt Du came out and shouted, "Oh, don't make trouble! Xiaolin! Be careful! Don't touch his hand!"

Dou Xun has a body of "inert itching flesh". Like inert gases, chemical reactions can only occur under special extreme conditions - for example, only Xu Xilin in the world will itch when he squeaks alone.

Xu Xilin's body temperature is high, especially in summer, like a human-shaped stove, the two arms exposed under the short-sleeved T-shirt are like two stick-shaped hand warmers, and the heat radiating from them can be felt from far away. Invincible penetrated Dou Xun's thin shirt and branded on his waist.

Dou Xun shrank into a ball with a flushed face, and ran upstairs while hiding. Xu Xilin became stronger when he was weak, and chased after victory. The two stumbled all the way from downstairs to upstairs. Press on the sofa: "Are you still smiling?"

Dou Xun was rubbed into a mess by him, and he was a little breathless. He struggled to grasp Xu Xilin's wrong hand, and his palms were sweaty.

Xu Xilin raised his leg and pressed him on top of him, and suddenly felt that this posture was very similar to some scenes in the TV series, so he just smirked: "Hum, little lady, no one can save you this time when you scream, so obey me obediently. This uncle, I will give you something delicious and spicy in the future!"

Dou Xun: "..."

Xu Xilin and him looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly from Dou Xun's expression, he learned that the line and posture were a bit awkward.

It has been a week since the accidental contact in Yuebanwan that day. Times have changed, enough for Xu Xilin to reveal the matter, but obviously, Dou Xun can't reveal it, and the almost ambiguous embarrassment will always be on him regardless of the occasion. Show your head.

However, Xu Xilin was very sensitive to other people's emotions and was easily influenced. Once he felt Dou Xun's discomfort, he would also feel awkward.

Dou Xun's face became more and more red, and slowly, his fair face and neck joined together, as if he was about to be familiar. Xu Xilin suddenly felt something and jumped up from him as if stepping on the electric door.

Dou Xun changed his sitting position very embarrassedly, raised his legs, pulled a pillow in front of him, lowered his head and dared not look at anyone.

Xu Xilin blurted out, "Right... I'm sorry, I... what I did... didn't do it on purpose."

Dou Xun arched his waist like a stomachache, poked his chin on the pillow, and held it back for a while: "...It's okay."

The two of them carried out a dialogue that was like "Introduction to Everyday Chinese Phrases", and each felt that he was a 250-year-old.

Dou Xun stood up abruptly and said, "I'll go back to the house to read."

His speech was so fast that people couldn't hear him, he turned into an afterimage, and disappeared quickly... Of course, he disappeared while hugging the pillow.

At this time, Aunt Du chased after him and started Tang Seng Dafa ramble: "You little things are not serious or serious, Dou Xun is going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, what should you do if you break his right hand... Hey, others Woolen cloth?"

"He..." Xu Xilin paused for a while, before answering nonsense, "Maybe I have a stomach upset?"

"Ah?" Auntie Du was shocked, "Oh, look, do you want it? How many times have I told you not to drink ice water from the refrigerator, but I just don't listen... Hey, I'll go see if there is any medicine at home, Xiaolin, can you give him some Huoxiangzhengqi water?"

Xu Xilin laughed dryly, and escaped when Aunt Du was not prepared.

"It's all to blame that idiot Wu Tao." Xu Xilin said.

Dou Xun's business was very unskilled in his small bedroom and bathroom, and he was sweating all over his forehead, and he was relieved.

He took a handful of cold water and washed his face, still blushing.

Dou Xun went back to the bedroom and lay on his back on the bed. His limbs were exhausted, but his spirit was a little unfulfilled.

He took out the yellow paper talisman that Aunt Du had asked for him, pinched it in his hand and looked it over and over again. He could vaguely smell the scent of incense sticks on the paper. He heard that the temple where Aunt Du went to worship was also called Hongniang Temple— It is also very interesting for these people to find a partner instead of going to a dating agency, but to go to the Buddha as a matchmaker.

Dou Xun threw the paper talisman into the sky and caught it again. He didn't need to bless him in the test. If he failed the test, he would go back to school and go to high school for a year. He wouldn't deliberately take the exam, but he would go there if he passed the exam. Anyway, his first choice had not left the city, and he could come back to Xu Xilin as a tutor when he had nothing to do.

In short, that's what happened in the exam, and I'm happier if I don't.

Looking at the entire sixth middle school, there is probably no one who is more calm than his examination mentality.

Dou Xun leaned on the pillow and closed his eyes for a while, his mind was empty, he didn't think about anything, and after a while, he laughed naturally.

No reason, no reason, just giggling.

It was the happiest year of his life, he thought.

In this way, although there were some twists and turns before the exam, with an unusually peaceful state of mind, Dou Xun performed very well and steadily became his first choice.

This summer, a mighty warm and humid air swarmed up from the southeast, and the hoarse cicadas chirped almost to the point of a power outage. Stick your tongue to prevent yourself from dying on the road to wealth for the motherland's unrewarded ambitions.

Zhu Xiaocheng and Dou Junliang have gone through a lot of life and death, and finally divided the family property in two and parted ways.

Zhu Xiaocheng's team of lawyers has a slight advantage, not only taking off a layer of Dou Junliang's skin, but also accidentally obtained a small addition - the guardianship of his son.

The newly appointed Zhu Xiaocheng finally freed up time, and Da Jia came to Xu's house to pick up her son. Unexpectedly, the son lived in Xu's house for a semester, learned a simple and rude Xu Jin style, and gave Zhu Xiaocheng two lines in person.

"I don't lack a guardian, and I know you don't lack a son. Don't worry, I will definitely not disturb you in the future." Dou Xun said, "I am going to college soon. If you provide me with the corresponding tuition and living expenses on a regular basis, I will I would like to thank you very much. I promise to pay you double the money within five years after graduation. The interest rate is much higher than the bank's loan interest rate for the same period. I recommend you to consider it. In addition, if you need it in the future, I will be responsible for the end of retirement. If you don't care about me, I have no opinion, I will apply for student loans and scholarships with the school myself, and we will not owe each other in the future."

In this way, this young and sharp boy took his first step towards human society.

After Zhu Xiaocheng heard this, he broke down and cried with Grandma Xu, as if he had seen the bleak omen of the evening scene.

Although the old lady looks like a lady, she is actually a "monkey with its tail", lovingly stroking the goddaughter's dog head, she pretends to be old and confused: "Oh, if you have any grievances, just follow the godmother. Speaking of... ah, but you see, godmother, you're getting old, what you just said, you forget after a while, and you can't figure out what happened."

Zhu Xiaocheng's Sapo Rolling Dafa failed and left the Xu family helplessly. Later, she may have figured it out, except to pay Dou Xun monthly, she will no longer show up.

Dou Xun spent his longest summer vacation at the Xu family.

He didn't take advantage of this long vacation to travel and relax, as is popular nowadays, because it was impossible for Xu Xilin, a junior high school student, to hang out with him, so Dou Xun would rather stay at home and accompany Xu Xilin to memorize words.

On the day the freshman entered the school, Auntie Du helped him pack his luggage, and Xu Jin, a female workaholic, deliberately asked for a two-hour leave to go home and command: "Sister Du, you don't need to put quilts and pillows on him... Hey, all those bits and pieces are in their school. Yes, just go there and buy a set, boys don't have to be so particular about it - keep them at home, and this kid will come back after military training."

Then she instructed Dou Xun: "If you have nothing to do on the weekends, you can go home and live, and you can make up for that brat, and then ask him to make a statement, adding ten percent to the market price, and deducting the make-up fee from his pocket money. "

Xu Xilin raised his head in shock: "What?"

Xu Jin: "Watch him study for at least three hours a week. If he doesn't cooperate, tell me, I will double his pocket money."

Xu Xilin said with grief and indignation: "Mom, you cheated on your son and didn't make a draft!"

"Bullshit," Xu Jin glanced at him inexplicably, "you still need to make drafts? I'm not mentally retarded."

Xu Xilin: "..."

"No, I have to go back to the company," Xu Jin glanced at his watch and said to Xu Xilin, "I hired a car to wait downstairs. I've already given the money, don't worry, Xiao Linzi, I'll take you to Mr. Dou. trip."

Xu Xilin's expression was like he just ate a mouthful of shit.
