When Gu Ping came back, there was still a blank sheet of paper. She really didn't.
Later, because it was late, Gu Pingsheng's cousin kept her for dinner.
To be honest, the skills of this former New York and California lawyer can hardly be complimented. Tong Yan tasted a few dishes, and calmly stretched his chopsticks towards the best fried mushrooms and greens. Unexpectedly, Gu Pingsheng also picked up a green cabbage core. The two looked at each other, ate them into their mouths, and then again. At the same time, they all picked up their water glasses...
Gu Pingfan ate with relish: "I heard TK say that you knew each other before, or when he was an intern?" Tong Yan nodded and continued to drink water: "I've seen it once."
She didn't know how much Teacher Gu said, and of course she was willing to pass it vaguely.
That incident seemed to be a very private matter. She didn't know whether that day was his only abnormality for Gu Pingsheng, but for herself, it was the only time she exposed the secret that she had always hidden in front of others.
In this era when moral values are completely degraded, many people have long ignored the existence of the third party.
But if, who was supposed to be the most gentle and tolerant mother, she has become a spoiler for other people's families. The person who has been the most dependent since Fang Fang turned into the most disdainful person overnight. This kind of injury is devastating to her...
"What do your parents do?" Gu Pingfan asked suddenly.
Her smile was gentle, and there was a dimple on her cheek, very much like Gu Pingsheng.
Tong Yan looked at the wall lamp in her eyes, suddenly a little speechless.
Gu Pingsheng answered, "How much sugar and MSG did you use in your cooking today?"
Gu Pingfan looked at him in surprise: "It's useless, I mostly use salt." When she said this, she finally realized, "Do you think the food is salty? TK, you are talking too much..."
Later, she didn't think of an excuse, so Gu Pingsheng took the initiative to say that she would make up a lesson this week, and the rest will wait for next week. He drove her back to the school. He said this when he got off the car. On the road opposite the school gate, she nodded through the car window, and then suddenly thought of something: "Our country is going home to go home. Zhou, there must be no time to make up lessons."
Gu Pingsheng looked at her: "I have to go to Beijing next week. If you have any needs, you can always find me."
Tong Yan smiled awkwardly: "No, don't worry, I won't disturb your vacation."
It’s hard to get a ticket for National Day. She asked a lot of Beijing brothers and sisters to get a... standing ticket. Fortunately, there were only fourteen hours, but when she got in the car, she was dumbfounded. There were people in her sight. There were already people lying under the seat. She managed to squeeze into the car door next to the bathroom and rubbed cheeky. place.
She saw two children sitting on the sink in the bathroom, so she decided not to drink water tonight and stayed up until she got out of the car.
But in the middle of the night, I was really thirsty and my throat hurts. I had to unscrew the mineral water and sip a small bite in my mouth to relieve the feeling of lack of water. Just when the legs were already standing and unaware, I received a text message from Shen Yao: How is it, standing comfortably
Tong Yan couldn't laugh or cry, and replied: I stood outside the bathroom, smelling sour and rot all night, and didn't even dare to drink water.
Shen Yao quickly replied: For your help, all the money from part-time work and manuscript fees has been contributed by you to the Ministry of Railways. You say you just miss home, so you don't have to go home every National Day and May Day, right
The sound of the train passing the rails is very rhythmic.
She was silent for a while with her mobile phone, and then continued to ridicule, and replied: No way, I love home.
After getting off the train early in the morning, she went to the subway and bus for two full hours before she reached her grandmother's house. Just opened the door with the key, and saw the figure I miss most in the kitchen, busy making breakfast for herself: "Yanyan is back? I just made multi-grain porridge." She was hungry all night and walked up dizzyly. By the bed, fell directly.
"Why are you so tired?" Grandma asked.
Pickles and porridge, and fried dough sticks.
She felt that she was dying of happiness: "It was very lucky this time. I bought a discounted ticket for only more than 300 yuan. It's a pity that it was an early flight. I was really sleepy on the flight..."
Sleepy, really sleepy.
But he got up very obediently, and under the watch of grandma, he ate all the breakfast without any leftovers. She also drank a large glass of boiled water: "Next time I will take you on a plane. When I graduate, I am afraid that you will be airsick. By the way, your ears will also hurt." When I was about to land, my ears hurt."
Grandma listened with a smile, and every wrinkle on her face was filled with joy.
When she was saying that she was happy, her grandma suddenly mysteriously took her hand and said, "This year’s pension has gone up again. I have saved a full 10,000 yuan for you in the past few years. Can you pay back the student loan? Go?" Tong Yan was startled: "I didn't tell you. I only need to go to school five years after graduation. Don't save money for me. I work part-time and help some reporters to write press releases. No one is short of money."
"I've taken it out," Grandma continued to speak softly, but suddenly remembered that there was still meat stew in the kitchen, she hurriedly stood up and said to her, "It's under the sofa, you can quickly take it out and put it away."
She looked at her grandma's back, her eyes a little sour and soft inexplicably: "Otherwise, I will take it out and store it on my card and your card, and use it when I need it."
When she left Beijing, she set up an account specially, took the card by herself, and left a passbook for her grandma.
In case the family is in a hurry to spend money, you can take it out immediately.
The kitchen answered, she walked to the sofa and touched the hidden compartment underneath.
When she was a child, she often turned around and knew the location of the hidden money for a long time.
But when she got the envelope, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, it was a very thin envelope. Even the 6000 yuan tuition fee that I pay per school year is several times thicker than this... A guess flashed past, and she was suddenly pinched on the tip of her heart.
Did not dare to breathe, nor dared to move.
She didn't dare to tell the truth, she just pretended to ask casually: "Did my dad have been here these few days?"
"Yes, I changed the gas specially." Grandma's voice was filled with joy.
It really was him.
Tong Yan stared at the envelope blankly. This is not the first time, but this time there are so many, so what can I do to make up
Chaotic thoughts kept flashing in her mind, and she suddenly felt very powerless. The tiredness of the whole night surged again, she just wanted to cry, her nose could not stop sorely.
When her vision was blurred, grandma had already walked out of the kitchen.
Tong Yan hurriedly stuffed the envelope into his school bag, took a piece of tissue, pretended to wipe his nose, and quickly wiped away the tears: "How come I feel like a cold..." She stood up and quickly said, "So much money is not kept at home. Safe, I will save it now."
"No hurry."
The voice behind him was shut in the door.
Until she reached the bus stop far away, she stopped under the waiting road sign, opened the seal of the envelope, and carefully counted the amount inside. Only two thousand yuan.
My tuition is usually a student loan, and my living expenses are part-time work and manuscript fees. In addition to my daily expenses, I only saved two thousand yuan. In other words, there is still a total of six thousand.
Six thousand yuan.
This money must be deposited. Although grandma knows how unbelievable her son is, she always has illusions in her heart, hoping that he can make corrections one day...
The bus station is extremely crowded. Many of them are parents and children, celebrating the National Day lively. When the car pulled into the station, many fathers picked up their children, even holding them on top of their heads, lest they would be squeezed by the crowd to their beloved ones... Tong Yan stood there and watched for a long time, and he couldn't count how many buses got into the station. vehicle.
In the end, he still picked up the phone and hesitated in front of more than two dozen names.
She has always wanted the most ordinary life, just like a close friend like Shen Yao, who doesn't know about her family's affairs. If it's okay in Shanghai now, it can be said that it is too late to ask for money from my family... But now I am in Beijing, and I have no excuse for borrowing money from my classmates.
After watching it for a long time, there were only two people left.
Lu Bei and Gu Ping were born.
One is that he never asked any reason, and agreed to all his requirements; the other was that he saw some real pictures by accident.
However, since Lu Bei got married, she vowed not to see him again. No matter what the reason she missed, she has a strong moral and cleanliness, and she does not allow herself to do anything that would damage other people's families.
So in fact, only Gu Pingsheng is left.
She hesitated and sent him a text message: Teacher Gu, are you busy? I want to ask you something.
Soon, he returned the text message: let's talk. TK
With just two words and a signature, there is no sense of happiness or anger.
He is actually not familiar with himself, if he borrows money so hastily...
Although just looking at his car and home, he knew that it was too easy for him.
She replied: I want to borrow money, as long as 6,000 is enough, very anxious.
After a long time, he did not reply.
Tong Yan suddenly regretted, why did he want to borrow money from the teacher? But the words have already been said, and it's too late to regret. She stared at the phone nervously, praying that Mr. Gu, you never mind, I really can't help it.
Suddenly the phone rang a series of ringing tones. Gu Ping was calling
Tong Yan was a little dazed. He just wanted to say "Hey" when he picked it up, but immediately remembered that he couldn't hear it at all.
Then I heard on the phone, Gu Ping was talking to people in English, as if to people around him.
Soon, he said to the phone: "Tong Yan, sorry, I was talking to the elders at home just now, you send the address to my mobile phone, I will drive to you now."
His voice was a little anxious, but it was still very gentle, so gentle that made people want to cry.
