Chapter 36 036
In the evening, Ms. Gu cooked a table full of meals, opened a bottle of red wine, and the New Year's Gala was playing on the TV, and the dinner table was lively.
Gu Yitong took red wine and poured it for Mother Gu and Uncle Qi. Uncle Qi raised his glass first, and said to the people on the table: "New Year's Eve dinner, the family is gathered together, come, have a drink, happy New Year's Eve."
Qi Jingwen and Xia Lusheng had drinks in their cups, and then they raised their cups. The five of them clinked and laughed: "Happy New Year's Eve!"
Gu's mother looked at Xia Lusheng lovingly, took a peeled shrimp and put it on her small plate: "Come on Lusheng, your favorite shrimp."
"Thank you, Aunt Gu."
Qi Jingwen knocked on the plate with chopsticks in dissatisfaction, and looked at Gu's mother accusingly: "Where's mine?"
Gu's mother stared and reprimanded: "Don't hit the plate with chopsticks during the Chinese New Year!"
Although he reprimanded him, he put a shrimp in his hand and put it on Qi Jingwen's plate. Qi Jingwen smiled and said, "Mom is so kind, thank you, Mom."
Gu's mother scolded: "Hippie smiling face!"
After dinner, the family sat on the sofa to watch the party. Although Xia Lusheng couldn't see it, he also sat down. When it was almost 11:30, he couldn't help yawning.
Gu Yitong immediately looked sideways at her: "Sleepy?"
Xia Lusheng nodded slightly.
Gu Yitong pulled Xia Lusheng up from the sofa, and then said to Uncle Qi and Mama Gu: "Uncle Qi, Mom, it's getting late. Lu Sheng and I are going back to our room first, and you guys should go to bed earlier."
Before Uncle Qi and Mama Gu could answer, Qi Jingwen said softly, "Aren't you going to spend New Year's Eve with us?"
Gu Yitong squinted at him, pointing out, "It will be twelve o'clock in half an hour, and you don't have a phone call?"
Qi Jingwen was startled, a little bit embarrassed by being exposed, and turned his head to ignore Gu Yitong.
Seeing Qi Jingwen's abnormality, Gu's mother narrowed her eyes slightly: "Jingwen, do you have something to hide from us?"
With a chuckle, Gu Yitong didn't stay any longer, and pulled Xia Lusheng upstairs.
When Xia Lusheng went to wash up, Gu Yitong took out his mobile phone and looked at it. There were dozens of unread text messages, all of which were blessings. Gu Yitong selected a few familiar ones, edited and replied to the text messages, but before sending them out, the screen suddenly changed. The bell rang, and the caller ID was Qi Die.
"Happy New Year!" As soon as the connection was made, Qi Die's loud voice came from the phone.
Gu Yitong replied: "Happy New Year."
At this time, Xia Lusheng came out of the bathroom after washing up, and when he heard Gu Yitong on the phone, he relaxed his movements.
"Okay, that's it, hang up, I'm going to make another one!"
After finishing speaking, Gu Yitong hurriedly hung up the phone, and Gu Yitong smiled dumbly while holding the phone.
Just as the phone was put on the table, it rang again suddenly. Gu Yitong picked it up and looked, it was Lu Yuan.
"Hello, brother." Gu Yitong answered the phone.
Lu Feng's voice came from over there: "Senior Sister! It's me, Lu Feng! Happy New Year, Senior Sister!"
Gu Yitong: "Happy New Year, where are you? It sounds so messy."
Lu Feng smiled and said: "A few seniors in the martial arts gym haven't gone home, we are spending New Year's Eve together! Before the peak season of blessings, and the signal is good, I'll give you a call first!"
Over there, Lu Feng said: "Senior sister, you haven't been to the martial arts gym for more than four months, isn't it justified? Come out to get together after the Chinese New Year?"
Ever since Lu Sheng arrived at home and the company started to get busy again, Gu Yitong hadn't contacted the brothers in the martial arts gym for a long time, and when he heard Lu Feng's words, he couldn't help but reflect on himself, saying: "Okay, I've waited Year, let's get together."
While talking, Gu Yitong kept paying attention to Xia Lusheng from the corner of his eye. Seeing her fumbling for clothes in the closet, he turned on the speakerphone, put the phone on the table, and walked towards Xia Lusheng, pulling her slightly back from the closet Kai, asked in a low voice: "Looking for pajamas?"
Xia Lusheng nodded slightly.
Over there, Lu Feng answered: "Okay! Senior Sister, you can treat me then!"
Xia Lusheng felt a little familiar when he heard the voice from the mobile phone on the table, but he couldn't remember who it was.
While taking out the pajamas from the closet, Gu Yitong raised his voice and answered Lu Feng's words: "Okay, treat."
As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of ping-pong-pong from Lu Feng, Lu Feng cursed, and then said to Gu Yitong: "Senior sister, hang up first, that little bastard Guan Yan drank too much, I'll go and see him first , I'll call you later."
Without giving Gu Yitong time to answer, Lu Feng hung up the phone.
Gu Yitong chuckled helplessly, Xia Lusheng also remembered who was calling, and asked uncertainly: "...Lu Feng?"
Gu Yitong nodded casually, and replied: "It's him, Ma Xin bought you this pajamas, right? I haven't seen it before, so just wear this."
Gu Yitong's focus was on the pajamas, and he didn't notice that Xia Lusheng's face slowly sank.
Xia Lusheng's impression of going to the martial arts hall was not good. Now that I think about it, I still feel very dull. Although now I know very well that I was scaring myself at that time, but the feeling of lingering fear is still lingering.
Gu Yitong also found a piece of pajamas for himself, then closed the closet, and said to Xia Lusheng: "I'm going to take a bath, you go to bed first."
Xia Lusheng didn't speak, but nodded slightly.
After Gu Yitong's people entered the bathroom, Xia Lusheng slowly walked to the bed and sat down, pursing her lips in deep thought, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a while, Xia Lusheng moved, groped towards the table beside the bed, and successfully found Gu Yitong's mobile phone. Xia Lusheng hesitated while holding the mobile phone, as if struggling.
Xia Lusheng clutched the phone tightly, his joints were faintly white, after a long time, finally made a decision, Xia Lusheng fumbled for the hang up button, and pressed it for a long time.
The shutdown bell rang suddenly, and Xia Lusheng was startled. He quickly turned around and picked up the quilt, and hid the phone under the quilt. The dull ringing sound came from under the quilt, and it stopped after a few seconds. Listening to the movement in the bathroom, Gu Yitong didn't seem to hear the bell, and Xia Lusheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Holding the turned off mobile phone, Xia Lusheng's thoughts turned quickly. If she put the mobile phone on the bright side, sister Yitong would definitely pick it up to have a look. thing.
Thinking about it, Xia Lusheng quietly got up and opened the closet, stuffed the mobile phone into the closet, and after finishing a series of things, sat back on the bed with some trepidation.
When Lu Feng hung up the phone just now, she said that she would call Yitong later, she really didn't want Yitong to answer, Xia Lusheng knew that what she did was wrong, but she couldn't control herself, she wanted Yitong to be well , Last time the martial arts school cast too much shadow on her.
She also knew that she hid her phone for a while, and she wanted to do it right now.
When Gu Yitong came out of the bathroom, he saw that Xia Lusheng was already lying on the bed with his back to the bathroom, motionless as if he had fallen asleep, his hands were light, and Gu Yitong carefully went to bed, beside Xia Lusheng lie down.
Xia Lusheng who was "asleep" suddenly moved, turned around, raised his arms to hug Gu Yitong, then found a comfortable position, and did not move.
Gu Yitong was hugged by Xia Lusheng, unable to move, she helplessly called Xia Lusheng twice, but Xia Lusheng just frowned, rubbed her head against her shoulder and did not move.
Gu Yitong couldn't bear to wake Xia Lusheng up, carefully raised his arms, and turned off the light on the bedside.
In the darkness, Xia Lusheng quietly opened his eyes, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately... Sister Yitong didn't think about the mobile phone, and she was almost scared to death just now.
Early the next morning, after both of them got up, Xia Lusheng dawdled and refused to go downstairs. Gu Yitong looked at her strangely: "What's wrong? Is there something else?"
Xia Lusheng was thinking about how to let Gu Yitong go down now: "I...I haven't washed yet, sister Yitong, go down first."
Gu Yitong didn't doubt that he was there, so he responded, then sat down on the chair in front of the desk, and said, "I'll wait for you, you go and wash up."
Xia Lusheng's small face was almost wrinkled into a ball, Miss Yitong was waiting here, why did she take the phone out of the closet!
While secretly crying, Qi Jingwen's voice came from downstairs: "Sister! Come down quickly, Mom asked you to come down and help!"
Xia Lusheng hurriedly said: "Sister Yitong, go down first, I'll go down by myself in a while, it's fine!"
Over there, Qi Jingwen was still urging Gu Yitong, but Gu Yitong hesitated: "Can you go down by yourself?"
Xia Lusheng nodded heavily: "It's okay! Before you came back, I went downstairs by myself, and I'm used to it."
Hearing this, Gu Yitong relaxed and followed Qi Jingwen's words and went out.
As soon as Gu Yitong left, Xia Lusheng breathed a sigh of relief, fumbled to close the door and locked it, then went to the closet, took out the phone, and with the experience that the bell would ring when it was turned off yesterday, Xia Lusheng covered the phone under the quilt , and then fumbled to turn on the machine.
After the ringtone rang, after a while, the text messages from the mobile phone flooded in. The vibration of receiving the text messages did not stop for a while, until there was no movement at all, Xia Lusheng took the mobile phone out from under the quilt, pretended to be calm and put the mobile phone away. on the table.
Gu Yitong naturally didn't know about Xia Lusheng's tricks. She was helping Mother Gu make the sauce for dipping the dumplings in the kitchen.
"By the way, didn't you ask Uncle Qi to get a guide dog? How is that dog doing in the training camp? Is Lu Sheng going to train with that dog soon?" Mother Gu stirred the dumplings in the pot, suddenly Remembering the matter of the guide dog, he turned to Gu Yitong.
Gu Yitong paused for a moment, and then said: "That dog is a bit fierce, it is not suitable to be a guide dog, and it has been eliminated."
Mother Gu sighed a little when she heard the words: "I heard from your Uncle Qi that buying that dog cost a lot of money, and it took a lot of trouble to find it. Didn't you say it was very suitable at that time?"
After finishing speaking, he nodded self-consciously: "But it's true, guide dogs are not easy to train. Not to mention the investment, there are very few who can pass, and it's not surprising to be eliminated."
Gu Yitong scribbled a reply.
In fact, the dog is still in the training camp, and has already started to cultivate a tacit understanding with the new owner. Gu Yitong sent the guide dog out in the name of Xia Lusheng, and is still funding their follow-up expenses, but all this Gu Yitong did not tell anyone. Speaking of it, Xia Lusheng didn't know either.
After breakfast.
Mother Gu looked at Xia Lusheng with a smile while holding the red envelope: "Lu Sheng, Happy New Year, here, I'll give you the lucky money."
Something was stuffed into his hand unexpectedly, Xia Lusheng was stunned for a moment with the red envelope before he realized it, and quickly thanked Gu's mother: "Thank you, Aunt Gu, happy new year."
Qi Jingwen slipped over from behind, Gu's mother rolled her eyes at him, and then stuffed him with the prepared red envelope, Qi Jingwen burst into a smile: "Thank you, Mom! Everything goes well in the new year! You are getting younger every day! "
Gu's mother slapped him angrily: "Come on, as long as your academic performance can be better, I will be happy."
Qi Jingwen touched his nose and fell silent.
Gu Yitong waited at the side, but he didn't wait for him for a while. Seeing that Gu's mother turned her head to leave, she hurriedly stopped her: "Mom, where is my lucky money?"
"How old are you, what do you need for New Year's money!? No, no, I didn't prepare for you!" Gu's mother waved her hand in disgust, and sent Gu Yitong away.
Gu Yitong touched his nose and couldn't laugh or cry.
"Sister! I'll give you half!" Qi Jingwen quickly stepped forward to Gu Yitong, opened the red envelope, and howled, "Mom, you are too stingy, you only gave 200 yuan."
As he said that, he took out one from the red envelope without hesitation, and stuffed it into Gu Yitong's hand: "One hundred per person."
Xia Lusheng, who just took a step forward behind him, followed Qi Jingwen's actions, retreated silently, swallowed all the words that were left unsaid, and his face was filled with loneliness.
Gu Yitong looked at Qi Jingwen with a smile, and returned the 100 yuan: "Okay, you take it yourself, sister Xinyi took it."
Qi Jingwen insisted: "No, this is lucky money! It must be there!"
The two stalemate for a while, Gu Yitong has no choice but to put away the money, but his heart is warm. Although Qi Jingwen is not his own brother, he treats his sister no worse than any younger brother.
Looking at the weather outside, the sun has already come out, Gu Yitong turned to look at Xia Lusheng: "Lu Sheng, let's go out for a ride?"
Turning around after speaking, seeing Xia Lusheng's disappointed expression, Gu Yitong was stunned.
Xia Lusheng was stunned: "Riding a bicycle?"
Seeing Xia Lusheng like this, Gu Yitong's interest slowed down, and she frowned and stepped forward: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy during the Chinese New Year?"
Xia Lusheng hurriedly shook his head: "No, not unhappy."
Gu Yitong frowned and looked at her for a moment, pursed his lips, and said again: "Going to ride a bicycle? In the community, the yard is too small to let go."
"Okay." Xia Lusheng hesitated a little, then agreed.
Gu Yitong pushed the bicycle, Xia Lusheng grabbed the tail of the bicycle, and followed Gu Yitong out of the house step by step.
When the two came to an open place, Gu Yitong asked Xia Lusheng to get on the back seat first to support the car, then she got on the front seat, looked back at Xia Lusheng, and Gu Yitong said: "Are you ready? Come on, one two three, Walk."
With yesterday's experience, Xia Lusheng looked much calmer today. He stepped on the pedals freely, and the wheels started to move slowly. The two of them rode more steadily.
After walking forward for a while, the children playing in the community turned their heads to look at them, and the children happily followed their car and ran for a distance.
Xia Lusheng likes the feeling of riding a bicycle very much. Although Gu Yitong still has to control the direction, she still has a different sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in her heart.
"Catch up! Catch up!"
"Quick! Catch up!"
Suddenly there was a child's lively voice behind him, Gu Yitong looked back and was immediately amused.
I saw the children who had just followed them for a certain distance, got bicycles from nowhere, and chased them aggressively one by one, vowing to surpass them.
Gu Yitong hid to the side, and said to Xia Lusheng: "Lusheng, there are pursuers behind us, let's ride faster, are you afraid?"
Xia Lusheng also heard the movement behind him, and vaguely guessed what was going on.
"Not afraid!"
Gu Yitong smiled, his feet quickened, and Xia Lusheng also rode faster. The speed of the car was obviously much faster than before, but the group of children behind him were not willing to let go. After a while, they all surpassed Gu Yitong and Xia Lusheng one by one. shout and laugh.
Gu Yitong followed the children and circled around the neighborhood, the atmosphere was indescribably relaxed.
After riding for a while, the children in front stopped suddenly. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in a pink down jacket was lifted off the bicycle, and the rest of the children dispersed, leaving the little girl to deal with it alone. The adults in front of you.
"Qin Hongdou, what's the matter with you? Where did you get the bicycle?"
The girl was so cute, she stood in front of the adult, bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "Yes, it's Uncle Li's bicycle, I don't think it's locked..."
The adult raised eyebrows and looked at the little girl: "You rode the bike without saying hello to Uncle Li? Qin Hongdou, do you know what you are doing!"
Gu Yitong saw that the adult looked familiar, and recognized it after a while. This is Uncle Qin, the neighbor next door, who still has business dealings with Uncle Qi's company.
"Lu Sheng, hold on to the car and wait here for me first, I see an acquaintance, go say hello and come back."
Gu Yitong stepped forward to the little girl, pulled the little girl behind him, then looked at Uncle Qin with a smile and said, "Uncle Qin, let's train at home, there are so many people here, and Hongdou is already a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. save face."
Uncle Qin stared blankly at Gu Yitong who suddenly appeared, stared at Gu Yitong for a moment, suddenly realized, and smiled: "Yitong! Oh, look at me, I didn't recognize it for a while."
The little girl behind him looked at Gu Yitong curiously.
"What are you looking at, you don't call me sister!" Uncle Qin stared at Qin Hongdou.
Qin Hongdou said sweetly, "Sister~"
Only then did Uncle Qin smile, and then looked at Gu Yitong with some doubts: "Yitong, why are you outside? Didn't Xiao Wu, the son of your uncle Wu's family, go to your house to look for you?"
Gu Yitong was taken aback for a moment, but did not respond: "Looking for me?"
Uncle Qin nodded: "Yes, he greeted me when we met just now, and said to go to your house to ask you out to play."
Gu Yitong frowned even tighter, still a little puzzled.
Seeing Gu Yitong's expression, Uncle Qin was taken aback, and immediately smiled: "You girl, Yitong, don't you know what day it is today?"
Today... Isn't it New Year's Day?
Seeing Gu Yitong's expression, Uncle Qin knew that Gu Yitong really didn't know, so he explained ridiculously: "Why are you still behind me, girl, today is Valentine's Day on February 2!"
