hypocritically

The day before returning to Province A, Guo Xiao found an opportunity to visit Ji Huixiu. He found the supermarket that his aunt mentioned.

After checking the cash in the drawer and the money paid by the QR code several times, it was about ten yuan short. Ji Huixiu said "Ouch" impatiently, "Why is there so little money?"

There were a lot of people shopping at noon, and the customers were queuing up. My colleague Ji Huixiu couldn't do it like this. "If the amount is wrong, you can pay for it. There are too many customers now."

"Tsk." With a sullen face, Ji Huixiu filled in today's amount into the form, and took the form into the office inside. When she came out, the porter was carrying a basket of vegetables that had been crushed during transportation. There was a sales promotion in the supermarket, Ji Huixiu stopped the person, squatted on the ground and chose for a long time, and then got up with her things when she was satisfied. I don't know how long I've been standing here.

"Hey, Guo Xiao." Ji Huixiu crossed her arms and looked Guo Xiao up and down, "You've grown taller, why are you back?"

In Guo Xiao's impression, Ji Huixiu is very beautiful. The grown-ups in the tube building always said that she was the most beautiful woman in the building. With a fashionable hairstyle, she doesn't look like a woman who has given birth to a child at all.

Now Ji Huixiu wears a simple ponytail and wears dozens of street stalls. Her face without makeup looks a bit haggard.

"Aunt Ji...I'll come back and have a look..."

Ji Huixiu's eyes lit up, "Is there any news about Xu Keqin?"

Guo Xiao lowered his head in shame, he did at first.

Seeing that Guo Xiao is still the same, he can't make a fart for a long time, and he has other things to do, so he doesn't have time to talk to him.

Ji Huixiu waved her hand, "Forget it, look at you like this, you know there's nothing going on, it's hard for you to remember me, I'll leave first if there's nothing else to do."

Guo Xiao didn't go with Ji Huixiu to see her home, but he could imagine that Ji Huixiu loves beauty, and if he hadn't run out of money, he wouldn't have spoiled himself so badly.

On the way back, Guo Xiao felt that it was necessary to "tell" Xu Keqin about this matter, but it wasn't really a tell, he used his method to record and send a message to Xu Keqin's original number.

"I met Aunt Ji today. Aunt Ji is not very well now and has some difficulties in life."

After returning to Province A, Guo Xiao thought about it for a long time. The money left by Xu Keqin has never been touched. If he has the right to control it, he plans to use it as living expenses and send some to Ji Huixiu at a monthly quota.

Ji Huixiu was surprised to receive the money back from Guo Xiao, and called Guo Xiao to ask if there was news about Xu Keqin.

"Did you find Xu Keqin?"

Guo Xiao was silent for a while, "This is the money he left before. Now I don't know where he is or what he is doing. Maybe he will contact you when he finishes his work."

Ji Huixiu, who got the money, didn't show too much excitement. Hearing Guo Xiao's words, she sighed, "I haven't fulfilled my obligation as a mother. I haven't taught him anything since he was a child. Where did I come from?" Find him, as long as he's still alive."

Seeing Aunt Ji's reply, Guo Xiao felt uncomfortable. He couldn't answer for Xu Keqin, so he clicked on the number that no one answered to send a message, "Would you blame me for sending money to Aunt Ji?"

After get off work that day, Guo Xiao suddenly received a call from Xu Keqin's community property owner, "Hello? Mr. Guo? I'm Xiaoma, the property manager of XX community? Do you remember me?"

Hearing the name of the community, Guo Xiao was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered that because he was at home for a long time, the property management left a phone number of his own, and when he couldn't find Xu Keqin, he would call him .

"Hello, what's the matter?"

"That's it. Didn't Mr. Xu sell the house? Although it's been a while since the house was handed over, the owner has only had time to come over recently. There is still a battery car parked in your parking space, what should you do?"

Guo Xiao forced himself not to think about Xu Keqin, and he didn't even go to the community to take a look, but he still felt uncomfortable when he heard the news that the house had been sold to someone else, as if his heart was being suppressed by something. out of breath.

"Mr. Guo?" Xiao Ma called again without hearing Guo Xiao's voice.

Guo Xiao thought for a while, "Are you in a hurry?"

"It's a little urgent. The owner wants to renovate the house and rent it out."

Guo Xiao thought for a moment, redecorating and renting it out to others, then there would be nothing left, he hurriedly asked, "Is the owner over there now?"

"Yes."

"I'll come over now."

Guo Xiao didn't know if he was confused at work, and he rented this house even without taking away the scrapped battery car.

When the homeowner heard that he wanted to rent, he was skeptical, "You rent? Rent the whole set?"

Most of the houses at the back door of the school will be divided into small single rooms and rented out to students. Although the whole lease is more convenient for management, the rent will be lower.

Guo Xiao nodded desperately, "I don't need you to redecorate, just keep it as it is now."

The landlord is a very talkative person, and he doesn't bother to find tenants everywhere. In addition, he doesn't need to redecorate the house and saves a lot of money. He signed the contract with Guo Xiao very readily.

Guo Xiao paid the rent for one year in one go. Fortunately, he still has a balance in his savings. If he only relied on his current salary, he would not be able to pay the rent at all.

Originally, the landlord wanted to call someone to help Guo Xiao clean, but Guo Xiao refused. Guo Xiao cleaned the house by himself as before, and made up for the lack of things in the house.

Back at the factory the next day, Tang Ruishan was surprised to hear that Guo Xiao had rented a house, "Why are you renting a house?"

After all, the salary for interns in the factory is not high, and Guo Xiao is not a person who cares about accommodation. His own dormitory is enough for Guo Xiao to live in.

Guo Xiao faltered, but did not answer.

He is a bit unspeakably hypocritical, he is a nostalgic person, Xu Keqin can let go of the past, he can't, emotionally, his life may be muddled, since he can't forget it, he chooses to guard it, he won't He dared to say without shame that he was guarding for Xu Keqin, and he was guarding for himself.

Who would have expected that this house would be rented for three years.

Three years later.

As soon as Guo Xiao stepped out of the gate, a heat wave hit his face. The current weather was like a steamer. He hurriedly took off his overalls, which were full of engine oil. He only saved a racer vest inside, and the outline of muscles could be seen on his strong arms. .

He turned on the faucet of the sink next to him. He also had engine oil on his hands, which couldn't be washed away with water, so he could only wipe his face carelessly to cool off for a while.

"Go back and find some gasoline to wash it with. If you can't wash it off, ask the personnel department to change into a new set of work clothes." It happened that Tang Ruishan came out of the building. It's a big piece, "You came here on a battery car? Take me back, I'm afraid I'll get my car dirty."

Guo Xiao's internship work was affirmed by Tang Ruishan. After graduation, he stayed in Mingda smoothly, and was assigned by his master for major and minor matters.

The battery car was parked under the shade by Guo Xiao, but the seat cushion of the battery car was still hot ass after being outdoors for a whole day, and the master and apprentice felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.

The motorcycle was nothing more than a small battery car, and it was a bit crowded for two men. Although Tang Ruishan hated it, he had to hug Guo Xiao.

Guo Xiao's body temperature was transmitted to Tang Ruishan's arm through the wet vest, and the two of them were a little out of touch, Tang Ruishan said impatiently: "You think I want to hug you so much, when can you change the car? Haven't you ridden the battery car enough?"

He is still changing his car. Guo Xiao is worrying about money. After he became a regular, the factory has fares, meal allowances, various insurances, and his salary is more than enough to meet his daily expenses and rent. Suddenly told Guo Xiao that the family was in a hurry to spend money and wanted to sell the house rented to Guo Xiao.

Knowing that Guo Xiao is very nervous about this house, and in addition to the past three years, the two parties have gotten along relatively happily. The landlord can give priority to selling the house to Guo Xiao at a price lower than the market price.

The price offered by the landlord is indeed very favorable. Guo Xiao knows that he has taken advantage of it, but even if it is a favorable price, he will not be able to pay that much money for a while.

When Tang Ruishan heard it, "You're a deadhead. Isn't there still money in the card that Xu Keqin left you? Take it out and save it first."

Over the past few years, I have known more or less about the affairs of Guo Xiao and Xu Keqin. Tang Ruishan was not surprised, nor was the relationship between the two of them. What was surprising was that Guo Xiao looked stunned, and he turned out to be a devoted lover. , and still can't let go of Xu Keqin.

Guo Xiao admitted that he was a bit stubborn and didn't want to use the money. Xu Keqin's mother had borrowed part of it from him before, and used it to heal the man's leg, saying that he would return it to Guo Xiao later. Count your own money, even if you pay it back, you shouldn't pay it back to him.

"You are such a stubborn hoof, if you really can't do it, I will lend you some."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in Guo Xiao's pocket rang. Tang Ruishan helped him find it out. After looking at the name, it was Min Yun with one eyebrow. He picked up the phone and put it next to Guo Xiao's ear.

The sound of the wind blowing on the face was very loud, and I couldn't hear what was said on the phone, only Guo Xiao responded with "hmmmm" twice, and then the phone was hung up.

Both of them are in province A. They can't be a couple, but they can also be best friends.

"It's Min Yun's 'little girl' again."

Guo Xiao reminded: "Don't call him 'little girl', you know he doesn't like it."

"Little girl" is Tang Ruishan's nickname for Min Yun. When he saw Min Yun for the first time, Tang Ruishan didn't choose what to say. He felt that he was a gentleman, so he had to call him that. Calling Min Yun anxious was annoying him.

"What is he calling for?"

"About me for dinner tomorrow."

"Take me there." Tang Ruishan is rebellious by nature, the more people annoy him, the more he wants to tease them.

Guo Xiao felt that he was sorry for Min Yun, but he couldn't refuse the master's request, so he could only agree, and after sending him home, he rode the battery car back home.

When he got home, Guo Xiao quickly took a shower, and while his clothes were soaked in gasoline, he counted the money in the card again, and there was only so much in the count, no matter how many times he counted, it would not increase.

Guo Xiao has always felt that money is not difficult to earn. There are places to earn money everywhere. The hard part is to earn a lot of money. When it comes time to use the money, his little savings will be stretched.

He lay down beside the bed and sent a text message to that number a little discouraged, "Now the housing price is rising too fast, our house actually costs so much, what if I can't afford it?"
