Chapter 2 Chapter 2

Shi Jia originally thought that he would not go home for a long time. It happened that his mother did not study late at school on weekends, and his father had few social activities this year, so he might be able to get together early.Facing the rush hour of get off work, I tossed and turned back the bus for a long time to go home.

After they were all in front of the community, his father called and said to go to the library to pick him up for dinner in the county.Shi Jia was quite speechless, and rushed here, sweating like a crowded bus: "I'm going to open the shop tomorrow, so go and eat with mom, this back and forth is not enough for my living expenses. I'll come back in two days Home."

"I'll take you back after dinner. Uncle Zheng, who opened the villa, took in a [-]-jin pig today. Your mother told you to have a whole pig feast. I'll pick you up from school. It takes about half an hour. " Shi Nanqi said from a group of children, probably still waiting for Shi Jia's mother.

"One thousand catties and one hundred catties both eat those few dollars. Let's be more tolerant to pigs." Shi Jia squatted by the curb, thinking about whether to go back to the bookstore or go home to cook noodles for a while.Hearing his father yell, he asked again, "Did you pick up my mother?"

Shi Nanqi directly gave Feng Jingyou his mobile phone, and when he got in the car, his mother said, "Son, where have you been?"

"I'm at the gate of the community, you can go with my dad."

"It's been a long time since I saw you. Don't ruin your body by staying in the store all day. Go to the mountains to breathe fresh air. I heard from your Uncle Zheng that Zheng Quming will come today, and you two won't." Haven't seen each other for a long time?" Feng Jingyou said again: "Besides, your father is on a business trip again in a while, and today happens to be free. There is still time to send you back at night."

Zheng Quming is three years older than Shi Jia. When he was young, he teased Shi Jia and asked him to call him big brother.After a few years, it's like being instructed by the Buddha. When you walk around the world, you can call it whatever you like.The whole person is like an iceberg, neither hot nor cold.After the end of junior high school, I was very courageous and asked a master to learn how to make brushes. At the beginning, I learned how to choose brush materials from his master. It is said that life is not as good as going to the countryside. When I see an animal, I want to pluck its tail.In the past few years, he has attained advanced Taoism, especially his merits and fame. Shi Jia even secretly gave Li Dabai his cell phone number.The two hadn't seen each other for almost half a year, so Shi Jia agreed: "All right, I'll go home and change my clothes. The weather is so dry and sticky with sweat. You didn't give me my clothes. Am I lost?"

Feng Jingyou smiled over there: "I put them in the suitcase for you. The coats from the past two months may have a bit of a smell from the bottom of the suitcase. Why don't you wear your father's?"

Shi Jia walked towards the community: "You're so good, I'm still young."

Shi Nanqi drove the car and said "hey": "This kid is so stinky, does this make your father old?" Feng Jingyou laughed: "I gave birth to a pretty girl."

"The phone is still on the outside all the time. If you want to whisper secretly, there is no chance." Shi Jia also smiled: "Dad, you concentrate on driving. I will run a few steps first, and don't ask you to wait for me later."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Jia registered at the gate of the community before the security guard let him in.At any rate, I have lived in this community for almost ten years. After I moved out to live on my own, the security guards changed in batches, and they had to register every time they went home.Only then did I realize that when I grow up, as long as I am away from the original place, no matter how close or far apart, the child is no longer a child under the wings of his parents.

Shi Jia didn't go to university after the college entrance examination. In fact, she did well in the exam, but she didn't plan to continue her studies. She was dragged into the river as soon as she received the admission notice. On his 19th birthday, he wrote a [-]-word confession to his parents.

At the beginning, I stated that I don’t want to mediocrely copy other people’s lives. I go to school, work, marry a wife and have children. The motivation for studying for so many years is entirely to get good grades in the exam. It proves that I am not incapable of studying and I don’t want to study at all. Day after day, year after year A lifetime of mechanical boredom.In the middle, I self-analyzed and lacked self-motivation and ambition. What's the use of having this son?Only for oneself without thinking about the future, especially rebellious and unfilial.At the end, I said that if I agree, it will be my first contribution to the creation of a new life. If I disagree, I will write another [-]-word apology, and then I will go to college.From the beginning to the end, the words are profound.When Shi Jia read the confession to his parents, the more he read it, the more he wanted to cry.Shi Nanqi and Feng Jingyou were stunned by his attack.In the end, Shi Nanqi answered the phone and was about to go out to do some errands. Before leaving the house, he said, "If you don't read it, don't read it. There are not so many sensational things. Back then, Dad didn't even go to junior high school. How can he live comfortably now?"

Shi Jia has been doing laundry and cooking at home for three months, and his mother rushes to deliver meals after school when there is evening self-study at school.When the local university started, Shi Jia also went to Yuanzhu Library with her schoolbag to open the door.When Feng Jingyou gave him the key to the library, he said that parents hope that their children will become successful, and they also know that children are not accessories after all.Love you and responsibility to you, responsibility comes first.Some people have never been able to walk a favorite path in their entire lives, and have been in chaos for decades.To be happy, whenever you can figure it out.

Shi Jia rummaged through boxes and cabinets at home to find a short-sleeved shirt. It was from a few years ago. The dress was already very short, and she had to pull it down after walking two steps.He simply put on another coat, feeling that something was wrong everywhere, and walked around the room for a while before going out.

When the three of them arrived at the villa, the genius had just been painted dark.It was the weekend, and the business in the villa was so hot that it took a long time to find a parking space.When they got to the box, they were all fully seated.There are two big tables in the box, one table is basically for uncles, all of them are Shi Nanqi's brothers.When Shi Jia entered the door, he went there first to say hello one by one, and asked his father to drink less.

Seeing him coming, Zheng Quming beckoned him to sit at another table.Shi Jia walked over, and a group of young people were noisy, they all seemed to know each other, yelling for him to sit down and drink together.After Shi Jia sat down next to Zheng Quming, he introduced Shi Jia, who were all about the same age as Zheng Quming.There were men and women, Shi Jia hadn't eaten in such a big battle for a long time, and was almost moved by the atmosphere, so she called each of them brother and sister very pleasantly.

When it was time to introduce the person sitting on the left, Shi Jia took a serious look.The main reason was that this person was a bit out of place in this noisy environment, so he sat and drank tea quite quietly.He looks good, not the kind of ostentatious handsome, but calm and gentle eye-catching.Shi Jia frowned and always felt that he had seen this person somewhere.Zheng Quming said: "This is Chu Yuanyi. He opened a private kitchen next to your bookstore." Then he turned around and asked Chu Yuanyi, "Is it called Yiwei Private Kitchen?"

Chu Yuan nodded, smiled at Shi Jia: "Come and sit down when you have time. The hotel is just across the street from your bookstore."

Shi Jia will now know why he is familiar with each other. Dare love this friend was the one who refused people from the corner of the bookstore that day, overheard the gossip and was remembered.Chu He also said that he was the owner of their restaurant, but he was actually a friend of his own. This circle is really small.Shi Jia was thinking about gossip, mainly because he was talking about Chu He again, so he couldn't keep up with his head for a while, so he yelled "Brother Yi" with his bald mouth.

The people at the table burst into exaggerated laughter, and the big brother sprayed out water.Chu Yuanyi also smiled: "It's an honor."

Shi Jia scratched her head in embarrassment.Zheng Quming grabbed his shoulders, trying to strangle him: "This kid used to beat me to death without calling me brother, but now he's pretending to be too sweet."

Shi Jia didn't care, called him uncle, and reached out to pour water.As soon as you stretch your arms forward, you know something is wrong with the clothes.The short sleeves inside are too short, and the jacket is not too long. When you lift your hand lightly, you can feel the wind leaking from your waist.Shi Jia tugged at the hem of his clothes with his right hand, stooping to get the water bottle in front of him.

Seeing that he looked like a puppet, Chu Yuan reached out to add water to him.Shi Jia said thank you, drank water and started tossing clothes again.Sitting on a chair, I tried to tuck my short sleeves into my pants, and then I pulled up my pants.Seeing him like this, Zheng Quming joked: "It's time for you to buy new clothes, what age do children wear?"

The box was not ventilated, and it was full of people. The white smoke from cigarettes and hot dishes made the room smoggy, and the heat rushed towards the body.Shi Jia simply took off his coat and tied it around his waist: "I wear it at my age. I don't wear this at the time, ancestor, tell me what to wear?"

Zheng Quming saw him take off his coat, and happened to see a huge Mickey Mouse printed on the back of his T-shirt, which was still in color plates.Can't help laughing: "Yes, you can say that you are underage, even a princess."

Shi Jia gave a "tsk", looked down at the clothes, and knew the little mouse outlined by the black line.But Zheng Quming laughed like an idiot.

Zheng Quming laughed exaggeratedly, and when Chu Yuan turned his head to look at the pattern on Shi Jia's short sleeve, he couldn't help but smile too.Shi Jia looked at him inexplicably: "Really childish?"

"Fortunately, it's quite individual." Chu Yuan said together.

The others at the table didn't see his back, and they didn't know what to do with them.The elder brother just sprayed the water and said: "Isn't it popular to wear it like this now? People call it cute. In college, mavericks, regardless of men and women, like this. Two days ago, a student came to ask for leave. From a long distance, I saw his bright yellow body with hot eyes. When I looked closer, it was a whole SpongeBob SquarePants. The clothes sellers don’t have to worry about the design. Those who buy clothes are also casual. cosplay."

Another girl answered: "It's not accurate. College students like to call them babies, so you can wear them no matter how tender they are. Those junior high school students in my class haven't even grown their hair yet, and they're starting to take the sexy route. My God, I can't even I’m almost [-], but I didn’t understand what sexy is. I almost wanted to learn from them. I was really careless before teaching, so it’s better to be a preschool teacher. Whoever claims to be an old lady to me, I will sue the mother.”

The people at the table chattered away again.

Zheng Quming hadn't seen Shi Jia for a long time, so he asked, "How is the library business recently?"

"As usual, enough to eat and wear." Shi Jia said.

"You really can bear the loneliness. How long has it been? Do you still plan to stay in the store and not go out to work?" Zheng Quming asked.

Shi Jia didn't think about how to answer him, but actually didn't think there was anything wrong with being alone.How could staying in the library count as work?I want to ask him again, isn’t making brushes boring?But looking at it like this today, Zheng Quming has made so many friends, how can he be called lonely, if he asks this question, he will only ask for trouble.

Shi Jia didn't speak, and reached out to pick up the vegetables.The kettle was placed on the left hand side, and Shi Jia was left-handed, so he stretched out his hand and walked over to the kettle.Before the dishes were picked, the pot was about to fall over, so Shi Jia hurried to help it up.Chu Yuanyi also reached for the kettle.The hands of the two held the pot at the same time.Shi Jia moved too much, and with a "snap", one of the chopsticks was thrown to the ground.Shi Jia had no choice but to get up and go outside to get a pair of chopsticks again.

Zheng Quming asked Chu Yuanyi across the empty seat: "Do you want to change the seat? The seat is crowded, and Shi Jia is left-handed and reckless."

Chu Yuan put the pot on the shelf behind him, and said with a smile, "It's okay. Why are we so particular about it?"

Zheng Quming asked again: "I just heard what you mean, have you been to Shi Jia's bookstore? It's at the end of the alley, so remote?"

Chu Yuan thought it was funny when he thought of Shi Jia leaning on the chair that day, and being so shocked that he even dropped his book on the ground, he thought it was funny: "I passed by when I was going for a walk by the river. Is that store a little old?"

"It was decades ago. It was left to him by Shi Jia's grandfather." Zheng Quming felt curious again: "When did you have the leisure to take a walk?"

Chu Yuan smiled: "Come on, I'm not so busy that I don't even have time for a walk."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Jia came back, and seeing the two of them chatting like thousands of miles away, he leaned back and said, "Qianli I wish you two."

Zheng Quming pushed him behind with a palm, telling him not to pretend, "Can I eat yours well?"

Shi Jia sat down and looked at the table full of pork: "Uncle Zheng is very arrogant, he asked twenty or so people to eat a few hundred catties of pigs. The pigs are very desperate."

Zheng Quming rolled his eyes at him: "Can you be normal?"

Shi Jia also felt that he was a bit mentally retarded, probably due to the fact that no one had talked nonsense with him for too long.Just chat with Chu Yuanyi: "Brother Chu, how did you meet Zheng Quming?"

"I met at the calligraphy and painting exhibition. Zheng Quming is very good at making brushes, and he is well-known in the industry."

Zheng Quming interjected at the right time: "I'm overwhelmed."

Shi Jiale said: "Big brother, you can do it. Are you doing so well?" Then he asked Chu Yuanyi: "How can you all be so good?"

Chu Yuan smiled: "I just set up a place to eat, and I feel proud to be here. Thank you for the compliment."

Shi Jia brainwashed himself feebly and said, "Contentment is always happiness."

After dinner, Zheng Quming asked him if he would stay in the villa for the night. Shi Jia thought that there would still be people coming to pick up books in the store the next day, so he said he would come back to play next time.

It was almost twelve o'clock at night when Shi Nanqi sent him home.Feng Jingyou repeatedly told him several times to go home often, to rest on time, to eat on time, these topics that he would talk about every time before leaving.

Shi Jia was so full that she ran around the unit building twice before going upstairs. After washing, she couldn't fall asleep under the quilt.I don't know if it's because I talked too much today or because the weather is getting hotter. I tossed and turned and fell asleep until it was almost two o'clock.
