Indiscriminate

After Shi Shilei got up at noon, he wanted to find something to eat, but found that the oden he bought earlier was scattered all over the dining room, and they didn't find it the night before.He stood numbly for a few seconds, and still found a broom to sweep up the food on the floor.

What Shi Shilei was looking for was this bowl of oden cooking, but now that it was overturned, he could only endure hunger while cleaning.He wiped the dining table with a wet rag and then a dry rag, and woke up Fu Qinruo when he was rinsing the mop in the bathroom.

He passed by the door of the room and saw Fu Qinruo turning over on the bed, he was terrified, and immediately stood there to see if he would get up.

But Fu Qinruo just lay down on the pillow, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep again.

Shi Shilei held back her laughter and mopped the floor with a wet mop.

The mop was too wet, so Shi Shilei hung it on the balcony to dry, and almost fell over on the way back.He knelt on the ground and wiped the floor dry. After a while, his waist became so sore that he simply sat down on the ground.

Fu Qinruo got up, bleary-eyed, and walked out in a daze with his slippers on. He almost kicked Shi Shilei who was sitting on the ground, and couldn't help being startled.

"How do you sit on the ground?" He rubbed his eyes and asked.

Shi Shilei waved the rag in his hand: "Wipe the floor."

Fu Qinruo looked at him for a while, then said "Oh", opened the refrigerator door, and said, "Don't sit on the floor, it's very cold."

"There's nothing left to eat." Just as Shi Shilei finished speaking, he saw Fu Qinruo who was stunned facing the refrigerator, "I always eat out, and I don't have any food at home."

Fu Qinruo nodded, pulled out the chair and sat down, leaned on the back of the chair and watched Shi Shilei wipe the floor and saw the gods.

"Are you hungry?" Shi Shilei knelt on the ground, ignoring him and just busying himself.

"Well, I woke up from hunger." Fu Qinruo nodded honestly.

Shi Shilei chuckled, looked up and said, "Me too. Shall we order takeaway later? I don't want to go out anymore. I'm exhausted."

Fu Qinruo blinked: "Tired?"

"Yeah!" Shi Shilei smiled so much that his brows and eyes were crooked, like a cat that just had enough to eat, "I'm so tired~"

He was taken aback for a moment: "Oh, good."

While waiting for the courier, Shi Shilei took out the calculator, sat on the sofa and pressed the numbers to calculate the total amount of money on the bank card and passbook, and then figured out how long he would have to work part-time to save money. tuition fees for the next academic year.

There are too many things that give him a headache.He has always hated summer vacation, because the end of summer vacation means paying tuition fees, not only for him, but also for Chang Ke.Fortunately, none of the other siblings in the family are in high school, otherwise it would not be compulsory education, and it would be an expense.

Fu Qinruo sat next to him and watched his calculations, saw some unclear lists, and curiously asked where they were going.Shi Shilei didn't have much patience, but he still answered one by one. This is the money for seeing a doctor, this is the money for learning the flute, and this is the child's kindergarten care fee.

"Is it a bit extravagant to learn the flute?" Fu Qinruo asked.

Of course, Shi Shilei also knew that it would be nice to be able to go to school, and it would be a luxury to take special classes.He sighed and said, "My younger sister has poor grades, and the three subjects in the exam are not worth [-] points. If I don't learn some special skills, I'm afraid no junior high school will admit her in the future."

"Junior high school is compulsory education, so there will always be a school to enroll, right?" Fu Qinruo still didn't understand.

Shi Shilei blinked his eyes twice, and suddenly leaned over to kiss his soft lips.Fu Qinruo was taken aback by the kiss, even more confused. "Brother Qinruo, have you ever met even a poor student? It's not that the grades are poor, but the kind who only knows how to go to Internet cafes, play arcade machines, smoke, pick up girls, and throw books at the teacher all day long."

Fu Qinruo was startled, but shook his head truthfully.

"There are such schools, and many people in them are such people. I have a classmate in elementary school who was in the same class as me, and then went to that kind of school. In high school, I heard that he fought with others and beat others to death. I broke my hand, and I went to juvenile detention." Shi Shilei looked at him seriously, and said, "My elementary school deskmate also went to that kind of school. When he was in junior high school, his belly got big, and he dropped out to have a baby at home. Now she sells clothes in a wholesale market, and her children don’t look like they are going to school. I don’t want my younger siblings to go to that kind of place.”

Fu Qinruo calmly listened to this world that had nothing to do with him.Shi Shilei thought to himself, even if there was a next life, Fu Qinruo would not see such a world, so he smiled lightly after speaking, and continued to settle accounts.

After a while, Fu Qinruo reached out from behind and stroked the back of his neck.He turned around strangely, blinked, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I hope they can know what it means to repay kindness." Fu Qinruo sat over and said, "Give me the water, electricity and property fees, and I'll do the math."

Shi Shilei thought about it, and gave him the list of expenses.

"Where did you see the inkstone you mentioned yesterday?" Fu Qinruo didn't use a calculator. After all, he was the owner of the inn, so he was very quick at calculating money.

Shi Shilei was just saying it casually at the time, and guessing his intentions, he squinted at him. "I don't want to buy it." He paused, and then said, "If you really want to buy something for me, then give it away. I want to buy a bag, Gucci's, which costs tens of thousands."

Fu Qinruo thought for a moment, then asked, "Really want it?"

"Yeah." He pointed at the calculator, "I've been starving for a long time."

He didn't even look back when he was talking, Fu Qinruo leaned on the sofa, and after a while, said: "Then I'll buy it for you."

Shi Shilei suddenly turned around and lay on his shoulder, narrowing his eyes and staring at him.

Seeing that he looked like a little leopard, Fu Qinruo wondered, "What's wrong?"

He shook his head reluctantly, and after looking at Fu Qinruo for a long time, he turned around and continued to settle accounts, muttering: "If I go to work there every night, then I can meet someone as generous as your uncle every night." Man, I should be able to save a lot of tuition and miscellaneous expenses in only half a summer vacation. ——I still want the inkstone, not the bag.” Then, he waved the pen in his hand towards Fu Qinruo who was behind him .

"Then there is still half of the summer vacation?" Fu Qinruo asked.

Shi Shilei also retreated into the sofa, crossed his arms and thought about it seriously, then turned to him and said, "I don't want to go home, can you take me in?"

Fu Qinruo thought for a while, and said: "I will stay with my grandparents for the past few months. The gate of the platform has been retracted, but after all, other people have lived there for a long time, and many things are not noticed, and they are much dilapidated. I want to Contact some ancient building restoration experts to have a look and fix the house. So when you are on summer vacation, I will not be in Xitang."

"Oh." Shi Shilei heard that he was still busy for a long time, curled his lips unhappily, and asked, "What about the inkstone?"

"There's a plum blossom pit at home." As soon as he said this, Shi Shilei grabbed Fu Qinruo's wrist forcefully. He smiled at his excited appearance and said, "It was given to me by my grandpa, but I have always If you are used to the other side, you will keep that side, and I don’t know if you can still use it. I will give it to you.”

"That's tens of thousands, right? Is it a hundred thousand?" Shi Shilei squeezed to sit beside Fu Qinruo's lap, "But good things can't be measured by money, and money can't buy them."

He nodded thoughtfully: "I won't sell it for money."

These words made Shi Shilei fall into deep thought.Fu Qinruo looked at him in deep thought, and said, "After the holiday, go back and see your grandparents? They miss you a lot, and even asked you."

"Really?" Hearing this, Shi Shilei asked happily.

Fu Qinruo smiled and nodded: "Well, the last time I went back, grandma said to make black rice and bring it to you. But grandpa said that there is still some time before Lixia, so he didn't let her make it."

He blinked: "Umi is black glutinous rice?"

"You know?" Fu Qinruo asked in surprise.

Shi Shilei smiled complacently, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you ever seen red glutinous rice? There are also yellow and purple ones."

Fu Qinruo shook his head if he had never heard of it.

Seeing this, Shi Shilei smiled even more proudly, wrinkled his nose at him, and elaborated: "That's what we will make on the third day of March and the Ching Ming Festival. Purple is made of purple vines, yellow is made of yellow flowers, and red is made of purple vines. Red silk thread, black dyed with maple leaves, and the original white. Well, it symbolizes a good harvest."

"Use maple leaves to dye black?" Fu Qinruo asked in disbelief.

"That's right!" Shi Shilei wondered, "Don't you guys?"

Fu Qinruo shook his head: "Use black leaves."

"Huh?" This was beyond his expectation, and he asked curiously, "Would the taste be different?"

"Go and let grandma cook it for you?" Fu Qinruo asked with a smile.

Shi Shilei blinked his eyes twice, nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

It seems that when people have hope, time will pass quickly.Although Shi Shilei had already saved up enough tuition and miscellaneous fees, half of the summer vacation had passed, but the moment he remitted the money, he finally felt relaxed.

Fu Qinruo also helped him book the train ticket. He printed the ticket at the station, and got on the train with a backpack on his back without even having to bring a few clothes.

He originally thought that he would not be able to see Fu Qinruo this summer vacation, but fortunately Chang Ke was also doing some part-time jobs after returning from Hangzhou last time, which saved him a few months of living expenses.Before falling asleep in the car, Shi Shilei breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of Fu Qinruo's repayment of kindness.

"Brother Shi Shi!" At the exit, a soft and sticky voice called Shi Shilei who was still looking around.

He followed the prestige and saw Fu Qinruo's little cousin Sisi waving her thin arms towards him beside the newsstand.Immediately afterwards, Shi Shilei saw Fu Qinruo standing beside her.

Sisi ran over bouncingly, with an unfinished milk stick in her hand, she took Shi Shilei's hand when they met, and said, "Grandma asked me and Cousin Qinruo to pick you up~"

"Oh..." Shi Shilei nodded unexpectedly, wondering how the three of them would ride in Fu Qinruo's electric car if this was the case.

Fu Qinruo bought a new hazelnut chocolate cone, handed it to Shi Shilei, and asked, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired." He refused to let Fu Qinruo unload his backpack, tore off the wrapping paper of the cone, took a bite, and said falteringly, "How do I go back?"

"I'll drive here." Fu Qinruo said.

"Driving?" Shi Shilei didn't expect, he thought that Fu Qinruo couldn't drive.

Fu Qinruo raised his hand and covered Shi Shilei's head with his palm: "Well, the weather is too hot and the sun is bright. You can't let children stay in the sun all the time."

Shi Shilei ate the ice cream that had started to melt, blinked, and looked down at Sisi who was still enjoying the popsicle.

She looked up at him, smiling brightly.

Shi Shilei looked up at the sunlight leaking from Fu Qinruo's fingers, and also covered Sisi's little head with his hand, and asked him, "Who do you call a child?"

Originally, I thought the house would be very quiet, but I didn't expect it to be quite lively.After walking through Taimen Dou, Shi Shilei heard the sound of children playing, and Fu Qinruo beside him was not surprised.Sisi let go of Fu Qinruo's hand early, took the bag of chocolate beans she bought at the street just now, and ran to find her little friend.

"The repairer brought his own children to play, as well as a few children from the neighbors." Fu Qinruo brought Shi Shilei in, "Put the things first before going to grandparents?"

"Well." Shi Shilei followed him all the way in, counting the rooms one by one, and the more he counted, the more frightened he became - this door has at least five entrances, which is a typical feudal scholar-bureaucrat's residence.

When he walked to the third incense hall, Shi Shilei saw the masters who were repairing the house, and saw two young people who were clearly college students.

Greeted them there, and after chatting for a few words, Shi Shilei realized that they were students and teachers of the University's Department of Ancient Architecture, and they happened to be doing related research projects, so they took the opportunity to come here.Now they are temporarily living in Taimen, and meals are also settled here.

"How did you get here?" Shi Shilei followed to the fourth entrance, and asked Fu Qinruo in a low voice before seeing his grandparents.

He suddenly turned to the side, walked to the side, and said, "Actually, it's someone my grandfather knows, who came from Beijing. My aunt visited the teacher who led the team specially for this matter. ——You live here between?"

Shi Shilei poked his head in and looked around, and saw the big carved bed and the screen next to it, and felt that the furnishings were the same as those in Qinruo's small building, and they should have been arranged by Fu Qinruo recently.But instead of going in, he asked, "What about you? Where do you live?"

Fu Qinruo was slightly taken aback, and pointed to the other side: "Front."

"I want to live with you!" Shi Shilei immediately stated, and after finishing speaking, he still asked tentatively, "Will grandpa and grandma be happy?"

As if he had expected him to say that, Fu Qinruo shook his head: "No. Then I will take you there."

Seeing him turn around and leave without saying anything, Shi Shilei felt baffled instead.But after thinking about it, he guessed the answer, followed up with a smile, hooked Fu Qinruo's arm, leaned over and asked, "Are you embarrassed to say you want to live with me from the beginning?"

Fu Qinruo raised his leg and crossed the threshold, and saw Shi Shilei jumping over again, stretched out his fingers and made a silent movement.

Shi Shilei followed him to the door of the room with a smile, and when he saw the furnishings, he knew it was his room. He immediately let go of his hand and walked in, threw his backpack on the bed, and lay down on the beech wood bed, looking at the faint light in the bed. The carved pattern of begonias on the shelf was doubled on the bed.

"Grandpa and grandma live in front?" Hearing Fu Qinruo's voice coming in, Shi Shilei suddenly sat up and asked.

Two small tables were placed on both sides of the footrest, and a few books were stacked on one of them, with bookmark paper exposed on the edge of the book pages.Fu Qinruo walked in, put Shi Shilei's backpack on the other table, sat down and said, "I live in the bedroom on the left in front of the lobby, and their study is also there."

"Where's Sisi?" On the way back just now, Shi Shilei learned that her parents brought her over for the summer vacation, and now the little guy lives alone with his grandparents.

Fu Qinruo shrugged: "She lives casually, taking a nap at grandma's place. At night, sometimes she sleeps with her grandparents, and sometimes she comes to sleep with me."

"Ah?!" Shi Shilei sat up immediately, "If she sleeps with you, what should I do?"

He turned around and asked, "What do you think?"

Shi Shilei stared at him for a long time, made a grimace, and finally threatened, "I want to bite you."

No wonder the table is full of storybooks like The Classic of Mountains and Seas. Shi Shilei couldn't help thinking about how to cleverly get the child out of this room, so that she can live in another place and sleep with her grandparents or by herself. .At this age, he should be able to sleep by himself, he silently affirmed in his heart.

After resting in the bedroom for a while, they got up and went to say hello to their grandparents.

Grandpa Fu played chess by himself in the bright hall planted with sweet-scented osmanthus. Seeing that Shi Shilei was empty-handed, he also expected that he had already packed his luggage.He nodded to the young man, and didn't do much greetings, he just said to Fu Qinruo: "Your grandma is making dinner in the kitchen, you go over and have a look. ——Where's Sisi?"

"Going to play with the kids." Fu Qinruo asked, "Do you want to keep the kids at home for dinner?"

The old gentleman shook his head: "It's time for the parents to come back to eat later, don't worry about it."

Sure enough, when they walked to the kitchen, they heard someone outside calling their child's name loudly, leading the child home for dinner.After being reminded by a parent, the other children knew they were going home even without their parents calling.

Shi Shilei couldn't help being surprised to see Sisi sending the children away reluctantly, and seeing two girls with ponytails come in with two bags of ingredients talking and laughing.

"They are also students who come to do repairs." Fu Qinruo explained, "They will borrow the stove at home, but we don't eat together."

He nodded thoughtfully, walked to the kitchen, saw grandma who was cooking, and approached with twitching hands, and called quietly behind grandma: "Grandma?"

"Ah!" Grandma Fu flicked her whole body, turned around and saw Shi Shilei, slapped her chest, and said in panic, "Oh, this ghost spirit scared grandma to death."

Shi Shilei looked aggrieved and apologized: "I'm sorry, I want to give you a surprise!"

Grandma Fu rolled her eyes at him, and said with a smirk, "Do you still remember my old woman?"

"What is this? I forget that no one will forget grandma!" Shi Shilei blinked and glanced at Fu Qinruo, "If you forget Fu Qinruo, you will never forget grandma."

She chuckled when she heard this, and gently pinched his face with the hand that wasn't holding the spatula: "This mouth is really, tsk tsk."

"Hey." Shi Shilei put his hands behind his back, leaned over to smell the meat in the pot, and praised, "It smells so good! It makes me hungry!"

Grandma Fu was frying, and poked him with her elbow to prevent the oil from splashing on him: "It will be eaten soon, so go to the side and wait first. Don't stay here, it will make a smell of oily smoke. Go and accompany Sisi to play."

Shi Shilei wanted to help, but seeing Grandma Fu's attitude of pushing people away, she had no choice but to give up.

He went to the restaurant with Fu Qinruo to set the dishes, and soon the bored Sisi walked in with her head drooping. Seeing her two older brothers setting the dishes, she immediately ran over to help.

Shi Shilei remembered that she was playing mud with the children in the bright hall just now, and couldn't help asking: "Sisi, have you washed your hands yet?"

"It's been washed." Sisi put the bowl away, and the two sets of chopsticks in her small hands were full, she nodded with certainty.

He looked at her for a while, and suddenly found something, and said in surprise, "Have you grown taller? You've grown a lot taller!" As he spoke, he walked over to compare her, and he was indeed a little taller than when he saw her last time. .

Sisi nodded happily, and said proudly, "I'm already sitting in the fifth row, taller than Wang Yanqing!"

"Who is Wang Yanqing?" Shi Shilei was puzzled.

"Her tablemate is a boy." Fu Qinruo said beside him.

Shi Shilei pretended to be exaggerated and said: "That's amazing!"

"Yeah!" The little girl nodded with great certainty, then snorted again, "Look at him still bullying me in the future!"

He held back his laughter, touched her head, and just as he was about to say something, Sisi pushed his hand away.

"Brother Shi Shi, don't touch my head anymore!" Sisi said solemnly, "Touch the one whose head is not tall."

Shi Shilei blinked his eyes in surprise, but nodded slowly: "Oh, good."

He really wanted to find out how that little tablemate bullied such a tough female man. During the meal, Sisi ate food on her stomach, not at all ladylike, and there was no elder at the table saying a word to her.

Grandma Fu brought vegetables to Shi Shilei several times, which made him feel embarrassed, and heard the old man say: "Eat more, it's time to grow your body."

The matter of growing taller was mentioned again later when Shi Shilei was helping grandma wash the dishes.

At that time, Shi Shilei was cleaning the dishes that Fu Qinruo had washed, when she suddenly heard the grandmother who was cleaning up the leftovers behind her say, "Shi Shi, have you grown taller?"

"Ah?" Shi Shilei himself didn't know, "I didn't have a physical examination this year, so I don't know."

Grandma Fu looked at him for a while, and said with certainty: "It is indeed a little higher than before. Let's measure it later. Qin Ruo will also go together."

Shi Shilei suddenly remembered the height difference between himself and Fu Qinruo, and nodded quickly upon hearing this.

Even the triangular board for marking the lines was temporarily borrowed from those students.On one of the pillars in Fu Qinruo's study room, there are traces drawn one after another, and it is unknown which child who used to live here scratched it year after year.

Shi Shilei bent down and saw that there was a new one on it, with the word "Si" written on it, so he guessed that Sisi should have scratched it when she came back this time.Another newly drawn line is Fu Qinruo's.The two lines go up and down, separated by a long distance.

The heavy responsibility of measuring Shi Shilei's height was given to Fu Qinruo, and grandma handed him the triangle board and watched from the side.Shi Shilei stood upright against the big pillar, feeling the right-angled edge of the set square pressed against his scalp, and couldn't help but lift his eyes up, as if he could see his height in this way.

As soon as he heard the sound of Fu Qinruo cutting the knife, Shi Shilei immediately left under the settable, but when he saw the line Fu Qinruo had newly drawn, he let out a sigh of relief and said disappointedly: "Grandma, I haven't grown taller."

"It's a bit taller." On the contrary, Fu Qinruo said, "It's about three or four centimeters."

Shi Shilei rolled his eyes: "Then why am I still shorter than you?" Even though the difference is only one centimeter.

Fu Qinruo said calmly, "Because I have also grown taller."

"Are you hanging out? How old are you and still growing up!" He couldn't help shouting, and suddenly realized that grandma was still there, so he quickly shut up.

Grandma Fu reconciled at the side: "Okay, okay, let's order another bottle of milk tomorrow. Qin Ruo will give Shi Shi a drink today."

She smiled slightly at Shi Shilei: "Shi Shi, come to my study later, grandma has something to ask you."

Unexpectedly, Shi Shilei was taken aback when he heard this.Probably because of conditioned reflex, he still glanced at Fu Qinruo helplessly, but Fu Qinruo couldn't show anything in front of grandma, so Shi Shilei could only obediently nodded: "Oh, yes."

After all, she was young, and before nine o'clock, Sisi was reminded by her grandfather to go to bed.Shi Shilei passed the patio after taking a shower, and was hearing her grandma telling the little girl to drink milk first. The two met together and went to the kitchen to find milk together.

"Here." Shi Shilei poked the straw into the tinfoil film, and watched Sisi drink the milk bottle with both hands.

Shi Shilei also drank milk with a straw. After a while, he asked, "Sisi, are you still sleeping with your cousin now? You are an older child."

Sisi sat on the small bench, blinked her eyes when she heard the words, and didn't think there was anything wrong: "My cousin told me a nice story."

"He tells you stories, sleeping with you is two different things, right?" Shi Shilei corrected her wrong thinking.

She tilted her head and thought for a while: "Grandpa, grandma, and mom and dad also slept together."

When Shi Shilei heard this, he frowned and said, "What's the difference? He is your cousin, and you are his cousin." Seeing that she was still confused, he found a small bench and sat beside her, and began to educate: "Grandpa and grandma , Mom and Dad, they are husband and wife. As for husband and wife, they just want to sleep together. But cousins ​​and cousins ​​are not, they have to sleep separately."

"But, my cousin also let me sleep with him." Sisi looked totally confused.

He clicked his tongue in his heart, looked at the little girl for a long time, and said solemnly: "Gao Ruisi, you girl did it on purpose, right? She's six years old, why are you still here so naive!" After speaking, he poked her with his finger her forehead.

Sisi's forehead was poked once and for all, and she laughed at the end, holding the milk bottle and asking: "Brother Shi Shi, how about I sleep with you?"

He should have expected that, judging by the IQ of Fu Qinruo's family, as long as this girl is above the level, she shouldn't be so stupid.Shi Shilei narrowed his eyes and said decisively: "No, you sleep by yourself."

"Oh." She puffed her round cheeks and sucked the straw again.

Seeing her biting the straw for a long time, Shi Shilei still felt a little sorry for stealing her bed partner, so she said, "But I can go over and tell you a story."

"Huh?" Sisi looked up in surprise, and saw her brother's serious expression reminding her that enough was enough, and his eyes were still crooked with a smile, "Well! Brother Shi Shi, my cousin told me last night, tell me about big things tonight. Fish story. Have you ever heard that story? I want to hear that!"

He was confused: "What big fish?"

She tried her best to think about it, put down the milk bottle, opened her hands and gestured exaggeratedly: "It's just a very big fish, I don't know how big it is, and then it will turn into a bird~"

"Kunpeng?" Shi Shilei opened his eyes wide, thinking to himself that Fu Qinruo is really good enough, and even told this little guy about Zhuangzi.He curled his lips, saw Sisi picked up the milk and drank it again, and said: "Then you finish drinking the milk and brush your teeth, and wait for me on the bed. Go to sleep on the bed inside, don't run to your cousin again. "

"Yeah!" It seemed that as long as there was a story, Sisi nodded several times.

After Shi Shilei drank the milk, he took the milk bottle left by Sisi and put it in the milk box outside the house.The house is too big, and it took more than ten minutes to walk back and forth like this. In order to save energy, there are no lights on some corridors. Shi Shilei can only touch the walls and walk forward with the light in front of him.

When he passed by the lobby, he saw the lights in the study room of grandpa bright, and remembered that grandma had asked him to go to the study room to find her later.I don't know where Fu Qinruo is now, I haven't seen Shi Shilei since he took a bath, and I don't even have a chance to inquire about him.Shi Shilei didn't want to disturb the old man's rest when it was too late, so he walked over directly.

Unexpectedly, only Grandpa Fu was painting in the study room, and Grandma was not there.Such a big house, because it is too deserted, if there is a little noise, it will attract people's attention, so the footsteps must be very light.Shi Shilei was wearing slippers, he didn't even need to say hello, Grandpa Fu had already looked up and spotted him.

"Grandpa." Shi Shilei stood at the door, thinking about not going in for the time being, said embarrassedly, "Grandma asked me to come to the study to find her."

With a pen in his hand, Grandpa Fu nodded knowingly, and said, "She should be in her own study. There is a staircase behind the first half on the west side, just go up to the first room."

Shi Shilei was secretly surprised, hurriedly responded, and said softly: "Then I will go there first, Grandpa."

"Well, let's go." After finishing speaking, the old gentleman lowered his head again.

This old house is really big. There are so few people who come to repair the house, but it still seems to be unpopular.I don't know how to live after the house is repaired, even those teachers and students have left, and there are only a few scattered people left.

Shi Shilei passed the boat hall, walked downstairs to the west end, looked up for a while, and sure enough saw a room upstairs with lights on.He was walking up the creaking wooden stairs when he saw the door swing open.

There was a round fan on the wooden stand in front of Grandma Fu, and she was drawing on it. When she saw Shi Shilei standing at the door, she put down her pen, waved to him, and signaled him to come in.

"Grandma." Shi Shilei entered the door lightly, knowing why Fu Qinruo is such a quiet person - if he stays with old people like grandparents all year round, even the noisy people will become quieter.

Grandma Fu got up and said, "Did you drink the milk?"

"Yeah." He nodded and said, "I put the milk bottle out."

"Okay." She walked to a wide-mouthed vase containing calligraphy and painting scrolls, searched there, and said, "I asked you to come, I want to show you something, by the way, gossip." She said, Turning back, he blinked playfully at Shi Shilei.

Shi Shilei couldn't help laughing: "What about gossip?"

"What else?" Grandma Fu rolled her eyes at him lightly, "I don't care about anyone else except my own grandson."

Shi Shilei smiled shyly. Seeing Grandma Fu opened a scroll, she couldn't help feeling familiar, so she leaned over to have a look.

When he realized that the words on it were just his own wild cursive, he couldn't help but feel guilty.He knew that Fu Qinruo brought the calligraphy back before, but he didn't know that it was framed and it was still with grandma.How dare Shi Shilei play tricks in front of grandma?He scratched his cheek, feeling embarrassed: "Grandma, why is this left here?"

"It's beautiful!" Grandma Fu said, putting the unfolded scroll on the table, and moved the sheepskin lamp over.

Seeing that the fan stand was in the way, Shi Shilei carried it to a low table beside him.

I remember that the flower carvings they drank were sprinkled on it at that time, but they were all removed when they were mounted. Shi Shilei listened to Grandma Fu pointing at some characters and taught him how to write in the future so that the brushwork will be more vivid.

Some words were written so sloppily that even Shi Shilei had to distinguish them for a while after a long time, but luckily Fu Qinruo added an explanation later.

"Before mounting, I asked Qin Ruo why there was no seal, and then I heard that your seal was broken. Do you have a new one now?" Grandma Fu asked concerned.

Later, Shi Shilei never produced authentic products, so the seal was optional.But he was embarrassed to tell his grandma about this, so he shook his head shyly: "I carved the previous one myself. I still want to carve a new one myself, but I haven't found a good stone yet."

"Can also be engraved?" She obviously didn't know about it.

Shi Shilei didn't dare to show a complacent expression in front of grandma, so he nodded obediently.

"That's great." Grandma was happy to hear that, and said, "I've known you for so long, and I haven't given you anything. I have an old seal here..."

"Grandma doesn't need it..." Shi Shilei hurriedly declined when he heard the sign.

Grandma Fu signaled him not to refuse with her eyes, took out a brocade box from a small drawer on the side bookshelf, asked Shi Shilei to sit down, and said, "This seal was given to me by my father when I was 28 years old. At first , I refused to resign from school, so he engraved this for me. Originally, I wanted to give it to Qinruo’s mother, but she doesn’t write or draw, so it’s useless to give it to her, so I gave it to her at that time Others. I have been thinking about when this seal will be sent out——if I don’t give it away, the child has received many treasures from the past since he was a child. One less is a lot, and one more is still worth I don’t think there’s a place to put it.”

Shi Shilei remembered that Fu Qinruo was always talking about his things being left by his elders, and it really happened.He looked at the seal in Grandma Fu's hand, the button on it turned out to be in the shape of a Kuilong, and he was shocked.

I don't know why grandma's father gave this seal to his daughter.And the stone material of this seal is Tianhuang frozen, which is expensive and incalculable in value.

"It's all right now. Now that you're here, I can give this to you." Grandma Fu said, put the seal in Shi Shilei's palm, and said, "From now on, write well and be a good person."

Shi Shilei was agitated, hearing that there was something in grandma's words, and couldn't help feeling terrified.He shook his head, still wanting to return the seal: "Grandma, I don't want it, this is too expensive."

"Shi Shi." The original friendly smile on Grandma Fu's face disappeared, but she was still smiling, "Grandma said earlier that she wanted to ask you something?"

Shi Shilei's heart froze, he gave up returning it, and nodded slightly: "Grandma, ask."

She found a stool from the side, sat beside him, and asked, "The last time Qin Ruo's parents came back, they were in Hangzhou, did you see them?"

Shi Shilei never thought that what grandma would ask was this, and he was stunned.He couldn't think of a countermeasure, so he shook his head truthfully: "No."

"Why didn't I see you?" Grandma Fu thought for a while and asked, "They also stayed for a long time. Didn't Qinruo tell you to meet?"

He stroked the Kuilong on the seal with his thumb for a while, and when he thought it was wrong, he put it on the table, lowered his head and said, "He asked me about it, but I..."

"Don't want to see?" Grandma asked further, "Don't dare to see?"

Shi Shilei didn't know how to answer this question.He neither wanted to see nor dared to see.He couldn't think of the reason, but he just felt that he was sincerely afraid.Shi Shilei kept his head down, not knowing how to answer grandma's question, and some anonymous grievances welled up in his heart, so he pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry..."

"Oh, silly boy." Grandma rubbed his hair, "My parents, what are you afraid of?"

Shi Shilei looked up in astonishment.

Grandma Fu found a piece of snow-white rice paper and printing ink, and said slowly: "You go to see them and let them know what kind of person you are, it's much better than letting them know what kind of person you are. "

Hearing these words, Shi Shilei's heart skipped a beat, the Fu family is too big, and he doesn't know the depth.He bit his lip, but didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"Everyone in this world has secrets and a past that they don't want to be discovered. Be calm and tell curious people what you want them to know. It's better than they dig up what you don't want to reveal." What she said became more straightforward, so that Shi Shilei didn't have to ask what was going on anymore.

His body was cold, and he couldn't breathe a sigh of relief quietly in his heart. Seeing grandma pick up the seal, busy
