teacher table

Turning around, I saw Lin Shuhua holding a trolley that was more full than theirs in one hand and a bag of unweighed loose mooncakes in the other, watching them approach.

Ji Lu froze for a moment, before he could decide how to answer, Song Linchuan greeted him gently: "I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance. Why are you alone?"

Lin Shuhua nodded with a bitter face: "Mr. Song, Happy Holidays." He was a hard worker called out by his family. Lin Shuyao and the others watched TV happily at home, while his mother took a long list and asked him to come out to run errands.

Ji Lu was still thinking about how to get rid of the fact that he and Song Linchuan were shopping together, so he wanted to get rid of Lin Shuhua as soon as possible, so he took out a box of hardcover mooncakes from Song Linchuan from the shopping cart at hand and stuffed it into Lin Shuhua's hand.Lin Shuhua was still holding the heavy bag of mooncakes in his hand, and the plastic bags in the supermarket had no handles, and Lin Shuhua was holding on to the two corners with all his might.Fortunately, the quality of the plastic bag was good, and Lin Shuhua didn't have long nails, otherwise it would definitely break.The moon cake that Ji Lu stuffed had a handle, and he subconsciously freed up a little finger to grab it.

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, you continue shopping, let's go first." As he spoke, he pushed the shopping cart to the checkout, pushed it two steps away, and then reached out to put the other boxes of hardcover mooncakes in the shopping cart. go back.Song Linchuan smiled and hurriedly followed.

Lin Shuhua, who was in the same place, was still struggling with how to take the mooncakes better. After thinking about it, he decided to weigh it first. After walking for two steps, he felt that his little finger was starting to stiffen, so he recovered.

No, why are Ji Lu and Mr. Song shopping together?

Wait, why give him this kind of unpaid moon cake? !

Looking up, the checkout place was crowded with people, and the two of them had already entered the crowd and could not be found.

Ji Lu looked at the things in the shopping cart and whispered to Song Linchuan: "Is there anything else missing?"

"It should be gone, what else is there to buy again." Song Linchuan put Ji Lu's shoulders, looked at Ji Lu carefully, and then said with a smile: "You have grown taller."

"Really?" Ji Lu subconsciously stood up straight, reached out and pressed his hand on Song Linchuan's body, and moved it to the tip of Song Linchuan's nose to stop. Ji Lu stopped quickly and hovered steadily. Song Linchuan's nose seemed to be able to feel it. To touch, but not to actually touch.

"It's been a long time since I measured it. It may have grown. It shouldn't grow much."

Song Linchuan pouted, and finally said in a low voice: "Boys should grow up fast at this time. It must be that the school food is not good. Why don't you stop living on campus and move here with us."

The previous sentence was a joke, but Song Linchuan's purpose was clearly stated, he hoped that Ji Lu could move in and live with him.Ji Lu was a little hesitant. Living in and out of school had little impact on his studies. If it was just for accommodation, he would of course prefer to go to Song Linchuan's house.

But going to Song Linchuan's house is bound to be Song Linchuan's taking care of him. He is used to being independent, so he can't accept that he can enjoy other people's care with peace of mind.

He can trust Song Linchuan unconditionally, but he cannot completely rely on him.Song Linchuan didn't owe him anything, so how could he accept his contribution with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Ji Lu opened his mouth to decline politely, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by others: "Please let me go."

There are many people in the supermarket on holidays, and the checkout line is long. Ji Lu and the others stand relatively back, blocking the supermarket aisle.

Song Linchuan turned the shopping cart sideways and made way sideways.Ji Lu watched silently, and after a long time said in a low voice: "Let me think about it."

The idea of ​​hoping that Ji Lu would move here has existed for a long time, and Song Linchuan didn't dare to ask until now. He was actually very nervous. When he saw that Ji Lu was silent when he heard his words, he knew that the possibility of success was not high.Before giving way, Ji Lu obviously wanted to speak, Song Linchuan knew that he must refuse, originally he was unspeakably disappointed, but he thought about it when he spoke again.

There is no rejection, indicating that it is still possible.Song Linchuan didn't dare to push him too hard, so he smiled and nodded.Normally, Ji Lu would return him a smile, but now he was very complicated in his heart, kept his head slightly lowered and did not speak, obediently followed the team and walked slowly.

Song Linchuan is not very clear about Ji Lu's family situation, so he can only speculate a little based on the fact that he has almost no parental supervision.Back when Ji Lu was making up lessons for Song Kai, when Song Linchuan sent him home for the first time, he asked Ji Lu about living in school. At that time, he just mentioned it casually. After all, it is really unreasonable for him to live in school so close to his home. .What Ji Lu said was that there was no one at home, Song Linchuan thought it was someone else's family business and didn't ask much.

Now that I think about it, there were only two parent-teacher meetings in high school, both of which were from Uncle Chen.After being together for a few months, Ji Lu didn't even hear about his parents.Sometimes Ji Lu would stay at his house, and he had never heard him report to his parents.

Two people have their own concerns, and they have nothing to say all the way.

Song Linchuan was caught in a tangle. He wanted to know about Ji Lu's family, but he didn't dare to ask rashly.It seemed that every time he mentioned home, Ji Lu was not in high spirits, and he was afraid of offending Ji Lu.But he didn't know what Ji Lu was thinking, how could he dispel his worries and let him live in his own home with peace of mind?

Sometimes Song Kai seems to be too optimistic, eating moon cakes happily all the time, and didn't realize something was wrong until Ji Lu left.Speaking of which, he has always liked Ji Lu very much, no matter whether the other party is his teacher, brother Lu or mother.In addition, Song Linchuan had a very good temper, so he had never beaten or scolded him since he was a child, and he did not have the respect for Song Linchuan that he had when facing his father.

So he could go directly in front of Song Linchuan: "Dad, did you quarrel?"

"No." Song Linchuan was actually a little distracted, first subconsciously answered Song Kai's question, and then added in his heart that he would never quarrel with Ji Lu.

Seeing Song Kai blinking and looking at him suspiciously, Song Linchuan reached out and patted him on the shoulder, asking, "Do you know what's going on at Ji Lu's house?"

"I just heard Lin Shuhua talk a little bit. Brother Lu wouldn't take the initiative to say these things. Brother Lu's parents divorced for four or five years, and he followed his father, but Uncle Ji was busy with work and rarely came back." Song Kai paused for a moment. Looking into Song Linchuan's eyes, "Brother Lu must have no one to take care of him, so he has been living on campus. Speaking of which, Brother Lu should be allowed to live in, anyway, our guest room is vacant and it is vacant. By the way, Dad, you can ask yourself. Brother Lu, shouldn't he be more careful about these things?"

Song Linchuan did not answer, but sighed silently.He thought about it too, but he didn't know what Ji Lu was thinking.

On the other hand, Ji Lu has really been thinking about it seriously, but he has been stuck in the thinking mode that Song Linchuan shouldn't take care of him like this.Song Linchuan sent him to the gate of the community, but he was stopped after walking two steps.

It's Uncle Chen.Ji Lu temporarily put aside the matter in his heart, and greeted Uncle Chen with a smile: "Uncle Chen, didn't you mean to go to Aunt Chen's place? Haven't you left yet?"

"The train tomorrow morning." Uncle Chen happily went to pull Ji Lu's arm, "Go to Uncle Chen's house and sit for a while. Yesterday your Aunt Chen's son sent a few boxes of mooncakes. They are very delicious. I don't dare to eat more, you take them back Try it."

Ji Lu wanted to refuse, but after thinking about some things he could ask Uncle Chen, he followed his lead.Uncle Chen also went out for a trip and just returned home, with a large bag of things in his hand, which was well packaged, and it should be a gift for Aunt Chen.Ji Lu stretched out his hand to help Uncle Chen carry things. Uncle Chen smiled and wanted to touch his head, but finally looked at his height, then patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Good boy, you are so tall. The first time I saw you, how old were you? Six or seven years old? At that time, your parents were arguing while walking, and you just walked behind them without talking, carrying a big schoolbag on your back, very cute, when I saw you Just like it."

Ji Lu paused for a moment. He had memories of that time. At that time, his grandfather had just passed away. At first he didn't quite understand what "death" meant, and he had a bit of an official concept of death.It wasn't until grandma hugged him and cried, saying that no one would make braised pork ribs for him anymore, and he watched grandma crying so heartbroken that he realized something belatedly.

Grandpa is very kind to grandma, as long as he can remember.Even though she lives in the countryside, grandma never does any rough and tiring work, farm work, housework, or even taking care of the children. Grandpa does most of the things.Grandma has bad teeth and likes to eat soft and glutinous braised pork, but Ji Lu likes braised pork ribs, so grandpa cooks all of them.

Not only is there no more braised pork ribs, but also the grandfather who caught crickets and dragonflies with him is no more.

That's when his parents came back.He didn't have a deep impression of them, and only occasionally went to the city where his parents worked for a few days, but he thought someone would take over his grandfather's position.But the parents quarreled all the way, and they didn't find Ji Lu who hadn't recovered from his sadness at all, and only disappointment was left in his heart.

Ji Lu maintained a smile that didn't reach his eyes, seemingly relaxed, but his heart could not be calm for a long time.

"Uncle Chen." Ji Lu opened his mouth slowly. He wanted to ask what the way of getting along between couples should be, but he didn't ask after thinking about it. One reason was that Uncle Chen lost his wife in his early years, and if his sad things were mentioned No, the second is that Ji Lu doesn't want to reveal the matter between him and Song Linchuan yet.

"What do normal parents look like?"

Uncle Chen's movement of pouring water froze for a moment. Although Ji Lu was smiling, he could still see that he was not in a good mood.Coupled with the question asked by Ji Lu, Uncle Chen thought that he made Ji Lu unhappy by mentioning the past, and felt a little guilty for a while.But more is distressed, such a young child has never enjoyed the care of his parents, and has always been so independent and strong.He continued to pour water as if nothing had happened, and sighed in his heart: how pitiful Ji Lu is for such parents.

"Drink some water." Uncle Chen put the mooncake and water in front of Ji Lu together. Ji Lu thanked him, but didn't move. Seeing Uncle Chen looking at him all the time, with a look of "I won't tell you if you don't eat it", quite Nodding helplessly, he reached out and opened a box of mooncakes.

"I don't have any children, so I don't know what parents should look like." Uncle Chen said in a soft tone, "You told about your grandpa. Parents should treat their children just like your grandpa."
