cohabitation life

Xiao Lang started the car angrily, and the Beagle immediately jumped onto the floor mat. After he stared down at it for causing trouble, he was still leisurely waiting for someone to take it for a ride.

"You are so hateful..." In a fit of anger, Xiao Lang carried it back to the villa, and decided to throw it to Ajie to clean up, lest it go out and cause trouble again.

Before the time for tutoring, he went upstairs to take a shower, and then threw a few clothes to soak in the washing machine.The dog clung to each other, Xiao Lang simply called it: "Little flower dog, please get out of the way whichever is cooler. Also, you are not allowed to fight with the little black cat, although I don't know where it is hiding , do you understand?"

It stuck its tongue out and stood up, hugging his thigh with its front feet.

"Hey, you're good at flattering people." Xiao Lang rolled his eyes, leaned over and patted its butt, and ordered: "You go to guard the gate and stop pestering me."

The little dog walked away wagging its tail.Xiao Lang glanced sideways, and there was a spell on the door of the master bedroom. He turned around and looked at the same spell in the guest room. Ghosts are forbidden to enter, right?

"Kah."

He was taken aback for a moment, and a strange voice came from somewhere, "Ajie?"

In the next moment, there were two "knock knock" sounds.

Xiao Lang was slightly startled, and looked back and forth that the doors on the second floor were all closed, only the door of the bathroom near the stairs was open, the washing machine was on the side, and there was a hidden cabinet above it to store towels, bathrobes, bath products and other things.

The balcony at the back is a place to dry clothes, the master bedroom and guest room are only a few steps away, and the front is the study, which occupies the largest number of square meters. There are thousands of books in Ajie's house.

As for the first floor, there is a living room, an open kitchen, a wine cabinet, and a bar counter. The toilet is adjacent to a leisure room with sports equipment and a pool table.Where did the voice he heard come from?

"Knock, knock, knock." Xiao Lang tentatively knocked on the door of the study.

"Meow—" the little black cat grabbed the door and made a slight noise.

Xiao Lang opened the door immediately, and a black shadow slid past his feet, "Damn!" He spat, "That's enough, don't scare me anymore, okay?"

"Crack." He frowned and closed the door.When I went downstairs, I reached for my pocket but emptied it. Huh... Where's the phone?

As soon as his expression changed, he immediately rushed to the washing machine, picked up his trousers to check, and then ran to search for his backpack, but couldn't find it, "Oops... I lost my phone again!"

While scratching his hair in frustration, he picked up the phone at home and made a call.

Li Tianzhe's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hi, is this Xiao Lang?"

He breathed a sigh of relief immediately, "That's right. It turns out that I dropped my mobile phone with you, please keep it for me first, and I will go to you to get it after nine o'clock in the evening."

The other party responded: "Okay."

Xiao Lang hangs up the phone with peace of mind.

Urging Xiaosheng to finish his homework, Xiao Lang looked at the clock in the living room, it was almost time to leave.He raised the kitchen curtain and shouted, "Grandma, I'm leaving."

"okay."

Xiao Lang went outside to put on his shoes, and Xiao Sheng threw himself on his waist unexpectedly, "Mr. Xiao, will you come to our house for dinner this Sunday?"

"Let's talk." Xiao Lang managed to pull away his octopus-like hand, "Grandma is cooking in the kitchen, you go help with the dishes, I have to go to the next tutoring place."

"Okay." He said with a smile, "Goodbye, Mr. Xiao."

"goodbye."

Xiao Lang quickly walked around the corner of the corridor and took the elevator downstairs, he couldn't help rolling his eyes, sometimes he couldn't stand Xiao Sheng's naughty and clingy.

"When." The elevator reached the first floor, the door opened, and he walked away, unaware of a ray of ghost floating down from the top.

It tilted its head, watching the elevator doors close automatically...

"Huh—" Fortunately, he was not late, Xiao Lang nodded quickly to greet Liu's father, and then entered the Japanese room with the students.

Roughly review the content taught last time, and then step into the new unit, sometimes asking: "Did you understand?"

"No." Liu Xiaoyu glanced at the textbook, and was no stranger to the unit taught by the school teacher.

Xiao Lang explained again tirelessly, noticing that the students were absent-minded, he took a pen to scribble on the calculation paper all at once, and made corrections after a while. "Can you concentrate?"

"Yeah." Liu Xiaoyu nodded, still doing the same thing.

This brat was getting bolder, as if he was trying to test whether he was fierce or not.Xiao Lang's teaching came to an end temporarily, and he simply accompanied him to fill in the trial calculation questions in the handout.

Liu Xiaoyu asked while writing: "Does Teacher Xiao have a girlfriend?"

"No."

"So poor, can't you deliver?"

"Well, please concentrate on counting." He upholds a principle: Parents pay for tutors, no matter whether students use him as a teacher, hire him or a babysitter, he will not mess up the half hour.

Liu Xiaoyu muttered: "I was very attentive, and I didn't peek at the answer sheet on the table."

Xiao Lang saw the tricks: "I'm not worried about you looking at the answers. It's more important to really learn. Cheating is just a temporary solution, and raising your score can't change the fact that you can't. Right?"

"Um."

Xiao Lang continued: "Not cheating is a sign of good character. No matter how long I can teach you, I hope that you will lay a good foundation in mathematics in junior high school, so that you will not struggle to study in high school in the future."

"Father said that my elder brother was very strong in mathematics and science before, and he went to graduate school."

"It's amazing." Xiao Lang asked, "The certificates hanging in the living room belong to my brother?"

Liu Xiaoyu nodded, "Yes."

Xiao Lang wondered, where is his brother?Why didn't Father Liu ask his family to teach his youngest son math?

Liu Xiaoyu looked at the clock, "Dad has gone upstairs."

"Oh." So far, he has only seen Liu's father and son, maybe the other son is studying abroad. "Does Papa Liu want you to be like a big brother?"

"Yeah." Liu Xiaoyu looked at the ceiling and muttered, "I don't want to be like my brother."

"Why?" Xiao Lang noticed that his calculations and answers had made mistakes.

"Brother is crazy." Liu Xiaoyu pouted.

Xiao Lang was taken aback, "He read until he went crazy?"

Liu Xiaoyu stared straight at Teacher Xiao, and revealed, "My brother didn't go to school later, and my father was very sad. He often sighed when he saw the certificate."

He was silent, and it was conceivable that Liu's father had high expectations for his youngest son, which was most likely caused by this factor.

Liu Xiaoyu pointed to the test questions, "I don't know how to do these three questions..."

"Oh, I'll teach you." Xiao Lang analyzed the powers of ten for him in detail, and practiced from the construction exercises to strengthen his notation and transformation of science.

"understand?"

"Hmm..." Liu Xiaoyu asked, "Does Teacher Xiao think I'm stupid?"

"No." Xiao Lang said sincerely: "Having this kind of thinking is a kind of self-limitation. You have to learn something that others can learn once, which means you have perseverance and willingness to work hard. Right?"

Liu Xiaoyu muttered: "Grandma used to say that I was stupid than my brother, because my father didn't raise me well. I don't like mathematics."

"! 』

"Grandma said that because she didn't see your cleverness." Xiao Lang comforted, "Actually, among the subjects you studied at school, the only way to judge the level of mathematics is to use scores, which is inaccurate."

"why?"

"Because there are many changes in the calculation methods of mathematics. Some teachers will give points if the formula is wrong and the answer is correct. If the formula is correct but the answer is wrong, it is usually calculated with zero points, so this is where the subtleties of mathematics are not up to standard. You won’t get points for the answers. So, of course, it’s not allowed to use grades to measure the degree.”

He used to comfort himself like this, after losing the exam once, twice, and countless times, he finally won the class monitor exam.

"Oh."

Xiao Lang warned: "It's the same for any subject. During the exam, don't be careless and you won't lose your marks. If there is something you don't understand, don't be afraid to ask the teacher in class. In fact, teachers usually like students to raise their hands for advice. This means that the teacher’s teaching is valued by the students and they will feel a sense of accomplishment.”

"Oh. What if the teacher is upset?"

"That is a teacher who misleads students. Because all excellent teaching staff have one characteristic; there is no distinction between teaching and learning. I think that there are no students who can't teach, only teachers who can't teach." Xiao Lang took a red pen, Read the handouts carefully.

After a while, he did not hesitate to praise: "You have improved."

Liu Xiaoyu blinked and asked, "What score did I get?"

"I didn't give a mark." Xiao Lang said seriously: "The purpose of the assessment is to know how much you have absorbed. Once I find a test question that you don't know, I will teach it until you know it."

"Oh." Liu Xiaoyu tidied up his books slowly and muttered, "There are a lot of quizzes in school, and tomorrow we have history and English vocabulary."

Xiao Lang patted him on the shoulder, "Every test, you just have to do your best."

"Yeah." Liu Xiaoyu watched Teacher Xiao leave the Japanese room, but he didn't say that he was ready and wanted to watch TV in the living room.

After the tutoring ended, Xiao Lang left Liu's family. He was quite helpless because the current education system is uneven in five educations, compressing all the students into one type; coping with exams and competitions every day, causing most of the students to go to school to become accompanying students, and naturally lose confidence. There is no ambition, and there is no suitable and creative development platform.

No wonder senior education scholars criticize: Today's children are generally wasting their lives when they go to junior high school, high school or even university.Applying what you have learned has become empty talk, and when you enter the workplace, only about 20.00% of what you learn in school can be used.

He has also gone through the years of exams, and now he has to satisfy the mentality of his parents who want their children to become dragons in order to get a job.

Riding on the motorcycle, he left the alley, turned a corner, and heard a beast-like roar, and he turned his head quickly——

"Rot——" the brakes sounded, and Xiao Lang and his car fell to the wall.

A woman got out of the car in a panic to check, and kept shouting: "Sir, sir... are you okay? Did you hit something?"

"Damn..." Xiao Lang gritted his teeth, sat on the ground, stroked his elbow, "It hurts to death..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't know that you would rush out and be hit by me... Ah, why don't you look at the road?" She pulled him up, and suddenly recognized: "So it's you!"

"You are..." Xiao Lang narrowed his eyes, only thinking that she looked familiar.

"I'm Lin Peiyu. We're in the same school, and we've met each other. Have you forgotten?"

"Tch... I remember now." Xiao Lang shook off her hand, tsk, it feels terrible to be hit by a rival car!He picked up the locomotive angrily and started it for a long time but couldn't start it.

"Damn...the car crashed, and I have to go get my phone..."

She was startled, "What should I do?"

Xiao Lang tilted his head and glared at her, "I should ask you this question!"

"I'm sorry..." She was about to cry, "It's because you didn't look at the road when you were riding...how can you blame me..." She ran to the front of the car, pointed at the headlight and complained: "My car light is also broken, There is also a scratch on the bumper, how do you pay for it?"

Xiao Lang's mouth opened and closed, and for a while, he couldn't understand why he would lose money if he was hit by her car? !

"I'm going to call the police to deal with it..." She opened the car door and looked for her phone in a panic.

Xiao Lang stepped forward to check that her car was not damaged except for the broken headlight and a scratch on the edge of the bumper. "Hey—we both think we're unlucky and don't bother the police."

"Really?" She jumped out of the car and asked him a series of question marks: "I can go? I don't care about you, do I?"

"That's right." Get out of here—this sentence was held back.Xiao Lang thought she had no common sense, so if the police came to deal with it, she would definitely get a ticket first, so it would be better to save the money to repair the car.

Lin Peiyu got into the car in a hurry, after starting the engine, she pressed the window of the car and pointed her head out to command, "I want to back up here, please take the motorcycle away quickly, otherwise I won't be able to park in that parking space."

Xiao Lang stared, "Do you want to stop?"

"That's right, take the car away quickly."

He gritted his teeth and grinded, holding the scooter all the way, and kept cursing her for being a dead girl... It was really infuriating!

Lin Peiyu parked the car, got out of the car with her bag, stepped on two-inch red high-heeled shoes, and walked to the door of the house with a "click, click, click", her long hair was waved beautifully, as if nothing happened Pass.

Xiao Lang led the scooter out of another alley, still angry, and couldn't find a public phone to call, and his right thigh was aching.At this moment, I can't help but think of Ajie, how great it would be if he could appear at the entrance of Lane 47, Siwei Road...

At the entrance of No. 47 Siwei Road... Shen Shijie was stunned, looked towards the gate, looked at his watch for a while, and couldn't help wondering why Xiao Lang wasn't home yet.

He picked up the phone to make a call, but Xiao Lang's phone was turned off.He searched the phone book and dialed Mr. Liu, but no one answered when the ring rang until it was automatically disconnected. Then he called Li Tianzhe and asked about Xiao Lang's whereabouts, but the answer he got was that he did not know.

Shen Shijie hurriedly brought the car keys, and went out to look for Xiao Lang's traces by virtue of his induction.

An ambulance stopped at the entrance of the alley, surrounded by three police officers, and then two medical staff worked together to carry the stretcher onto the car.

The man was bound firmly with a restraint belt and kept yelling: "I don't want to go to the hospital...there are ghosts there, there are many ghosts...the ghosts will watch me—"

"Knock!" The rear door closed, and the ambulance sped away.

There was still a police car parked by the roadside, and three policemen talked to a parent: "Mr. Liu, I think it would be more appropriate to send him to the hospital this time."

"Ah... yes." Papa Liu sighed.

Another police officer suggested: "After he is discharged from the hospital, you might as well send him to a nursing home, otherwise he will disturb the neighbors if he has an attack like today. If the condition is more serious, it is not good to sneak out and hurt others. gone."

Liu's father was quite helpless, and suffered a lot from his elder son's mental illness.

The policeman said again, "I think he seems to be bewitched by evil spirits. When he is discharged from the hospital, you'd better take him to the temple to calm him down."

Liu's father looked embarrassed: "I... didn't believe this..."

"Try it. In our sub-bureau, the investigation room in the basement is haunted. Even the toughest colleagues have to believe in evil after encountering it."

Liu's father nodded and responded, "I'll figure it out."

"Now we are leaving, you go to the hospital to find out about your son's condition."

The police immediately closed the team, Liu's father walked back into the alley, and several old neighbors stood outside the door, whispering or came forward to express their concerns.

Shen Shijie was far outside the alley, receiving messages from all sides one after another, like a turbulent vegetable market, it was difficult to get a clear idea for a while.After returning to the car, the phone rang as soon as he started the car. He checked to see that it was Mr. Liu calling.

After pressing the answer button, the other party said: "Where can you find it?"

Shen Shijie said: "Excuse me, I want to find a tutor for Xiao. I am his friend. Is he still teaching with you?"

"He taught until nine o'clock. People left before half an hour."

"Thank you. I won't bother you anymore." After the call ended, he couldn't help wondering if Xiao Lang had arrived home.

Repair shop.

"Boss, is the engine of my locomotive broken?"

"Let me check." The boss took a box of tools and immediately removed the locomotive shell to check the parts, wiring and so on.

Xiao Lang waited helplessly.

"Boy, would you like to go in and sit down for a while, there is a TV inside to watch."

Xiao Lang was hungry and asked, "Boss, is there a convenience store near here?"

The boss raised his head and pointed outside the store: "After you go out from here, go to the road ahead, pass two traffic lights and then turn right, and you will see an OK supermarket within a few meters."

"Oh, I'm going shopping, I'll be back later."

"Okay." The owner of the garage is busy, seeing if he can fix the customer's car before closing.

Xiao Lang walked a long way before arriving at the supermarket, bought a phone card, and contacted Li Tianzhe first outside the supermarket, telling him that there was a small accident, and he would get his phone back when he arrived at school tomorrow.

Xiao Lang then contacted Ajie, and when the call was connected, as if he had found a savior, he snapped out the story of the accident: "I'm so unlucky... Now, the car is brought to the garage for repairs, and I'm here The nearby convenience store... wait a minute, let me see what road this is..."

He looked at the nearby door numbers, and then told the location of the supermarket, "Knock." After hanging up the phone, Xiao Lang sighed.

While waiting, he watched the people coming and going, and suddenly turned his face away, as if he didn't see an old woman following a young girl into the supermarket.

The old woman earnestly said: "Xiaoqin, you have to listen to Grandma, go home quickly, don't let your parents keep looking..."

After a while, Xiao Lang stared blankly at the young girl stepping down the arcade, boarding a young boy's scooter and leaving, while the old woman standing in place became transparent and disappeared.

A car was coming and the driver honked the horn as it pulled to the side of the road.Xiao Lang came back to his senses, hurried to the side of the car, opened the door, and got inside.

"Bang!" He was in a bad mood!

Shen Shijie fastened the seat belt for him, saw a scratch on his forehead and a large piece of skin on his elbow, and immediately decided: "I'll take you to the hospital first, and then go to the garage later."

"Why bother, just take the medicine and wipe it on when you get home."

"Shut up, okay?" Shen Shijie's tone was a little harsh.

Xiao Lang looked like a child who had done something wrong, he secretly looked at him with an ugly expression, "Are you angry?"

"I'm not happy." Shen Shijie explained: "You are too indifferent to accidental injuries. There is a dura mater between the human brain and the skull to cover the brain. Once an external injury, especially a side impact, it is easy to cause the middle meningeal artery to rupture and the blood to flow. It will infiltrate between the dura mater and the skull, increase intracranial pressure, and then herniate the brain, compress the brainstem, cause abnormal heartbeat and breathing, and eventually lead to death.”

"Don't scare me, can you?" Xiao Lang felt aggrieved and didn't want to hear this at all.

Shen Shijie said coldly: "I'm not preaching, I'm afraid of losing you."

When the two arrived at the hospital, Xiao Lang went to the emergency department and took an X-ray examination to confirm that there was no brain damage or a broken elbow. After bandaging the wound, he received the medicine and returned to the garage with Shen Shijie.

The locomotive was repaired in the middle of the night. The boss said: "The battery of the locomotive is damaged, and it has been replaced with a new one. The skin of the rear tire is severely worn and replaced with a new one. The brakes have been readjusted. As for the scratches on the surface of the locomotive shell, this It doesn't matter, it's an old car anyway, if you don't care about it, you don't need to repaint it."

Xiao Lang asked, "How much is the total repair cost?"

"It's [-] yuan for you."

Xiao Lang grimaced, the tutoring fees he had collected in the past two days were about to disappear, and when he wanted to pay the bill, Shen Shijie took out four thousand yuan bills from his wallet and gave them to the boss.

The boss gave change and returned the key.

Xiao Lang stared at Ajie blankly, never thinking of asking him to pay the bill.

Shen Shijie stared at the severely worn hard hat he was holding in his hand, and then asked the boss, "Do you sell hard hats?"

"Yes. The hard hats are on the shelf over there. Go and see which one you like. I'll make it cheaper for you."

Shen Shijie picked out a full-face helmet, and after paying the bill, he handed it over to Xiao Lang, "You can throw away that old helmet. Let's go, let's go home."

"okay."

After noon, Li Tianzhe came late, put the book on the table, turned around and handed the phone to Xiao Lang, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just painful when the elbow joint is moved, just be patient for a few days." He has answered the same question dozens of times since the morning, and it is well known that he was involved in a car accident.

"Last night, Shen Shijie called me."

Xiao Lang was taken aback, "Why is he calling you?"

"He's looking for your whereabouts."

"Oh, I didn't go back on time, no wonder he was looking for someone."

Li Tianzhe grinned, "Hey, you live in his house, do you have access control?"

"No way."

"Don't be fake." He looked at Xiao Lang with an ambiguous expression, and deliberately lowered his voice: "I've always found it very strange that you and Shen Shijie are studying in different departments, how can you have such a conversation?"

"No way?" Xiao Lang asked angrily.

Li Tianzhe hinted with ulterior motives: "You two are getting too close, right?"

Xiao Lang came to settle accounts after the autumn, "Are you jealous, what do you do with Ajie and I? It's strange, you don't care about yourself, Ajie and I are better than you and your seniors messing around with cats." Bar?"

"Uh..." Li Tianzhe kept silent.

In the supermarket, when Xiao Lang was shopping and checking out, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

"Sir, here is your receipt and change," said the waiter.

Xiao Lang turned a deaf ear to it, and his lowered eyes fell on a text message: Remember to take medicine, don't be on an empty stomach.

After waiting for a while, the waiter called again: "Sir..."

"Ah... sorry..." Xiao Lang raised his face, hurriedly accepted the invoice and change, picked up the sandwich and a bottle of mineral water, still clutching his phone, and left the counter embarrassingly.

Tsk, what are you doing...it seems to be under a spell by Ajie.He sat in a corner of the supermarket, unpacked the sandwich, and took a bite!Staring at the text message on the mobile phone, the short eight words are enough to make him lose his mind? !

Tsk, it's all because Ajie is too wordy, the anti-inflammatory medicine prescribed by the doctor, he won't die if he doesn't take it... Some medicines will lead to early death, this is what Grandma said.Especially proprietary medicines, without a doctor's prescription, you can't buy them casually.

Putting the phone back into his pocket, Xiao Lang watched the passers-by under the arcade. For a while, he stared blankly at a pair of men and women flirting beside the motorcycle. sweet.

Hey, he's not envious anymore?Glancing at the vacant seat beside him, if Ajie was there, he would definitely not speak up or smile—how can this kind of lover be better than a girl?

I can't understand how the love between people arises, because they are together because of good feelings?It's strange, he had a crush on the female clerk in the ice drink shop, but he never thought of pursuing it; he didn't have a crush on the girl in his department, why was it wrong to be played by Ajie once during the summer vacation?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. At that time, Ajie had already been able to draw symbols, and nine out of ten he got them into food or drinking water, and swallowed them one by one without his knowledge.

Shen Shijie stood in the corner of the top floor, staring at the phone screen, thinking of someone with a tacit understanding——

Half-closed his eyes, the guy far away in the sky thought he was releasing a talisman?

It needs repairing again... He couldn't help shaking his head, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at his feet. A woman with thinning hair had been squatting for a long time, her shoulders trembling faintly.It lifted its tear-wet face and opened and closed its mouth.

Shen Shijie couldn't hear what it was saying, but he had seen what it looked like in the emergency room when he was alive... He looked down at his watch, counting down——

Its straight figure climbed across the balcony and jumped down.

Five o'clock, four points.
