Absinthe

Early the next morning after going to the hospital for an examination, Hao Ai sent his grandma to the physical therapy center, and then went to the pharmacy he frequented to buy medicine.

The medicines that grandma usually takes are only sold in the pharmacy next to the city hospital.

He opened the plastic curtain of the pharmacy, and a strong smell of many kinds of medicines mixed together came to his face. It was not very unpleasant, but it made Hao Ai feel like vomiting. This smell spread in his memory for a long time. Year.

There are many people in the pharmacy in the hospital, all of them are family members and patients who come to buy medicine. A middle-aged aunt is bargaining with the clerk at the counter because of the price of a certain medicine.

The female clerk next to him knew Hao Ai, and she asked, "It's here again, do you still want the same types as last time?"

"Correct."

He named a few medicines, and the clerk found them from the shelves and put them one by one on the glass table. Hao Ai took out a bank card from his pocket, paid the money, thanked him, and walked out of the pharmacy. I don't want to stay in there for a second.

That bank card was given to him by Wei Guanzhou. He checked the money in the card, and it was not a small sum for him, and the money in it kept increasing.

Before his grandma fell ill and was hospitalized, he didn't touch the money much.

Grandma has done several courses of physical therapy in the physical therapy hall. It has been almost a year since she got sick.He didn't know whether grandma's legs would get better, but he had to actively treat her, at least for peace of mind.

There was still a long time before the end of his grandma's physical therapy, so he turned a corner and went to Qu Yihang's burger restaurant, which was only two streets away from the physical therapy center.

There were a few diners in the hamburger restaurant, and a middle-aged woman wearing house shoes was sitting on the outermost chair playing with her mobile phone, and the erhu sound effect of Doudizhu came from the mobile phone.

He walked up to the woman and asked, "Auntie, is Yihang there?"

The woman raised her head and saw that the person in front of her was Hao Ai: "Ouch, Ai Ai is here, this kid, you startle me."

Hao Ai smiled apologetically.

The woman's attention returned to Doudizhu: "Yihang is not here, I don't know where to go crazy again."

"It's a holiday, you should go out and play."

The woman said: "If he has half of your worries, I will be thankful."

The reason for worrying is only because no one will worry about him, otherwise, who would want to be an obedient child?Hao Ai smiled and shook his head.

He sat on the empty chair next to him and sent a message to Qu Yihang: Hang, where are you?

There was no return there for a long time, Hao Ai sat for a while, saw a customer leaving after eating, and began to help clean up the garbage left on the table.

The woman stopped and said, "Hey, you don't need to clean up, put it down quickly."

Hao Ai didn't stop what he was doing, and said, "It's okay, I'm not idle, I'm too embarrassed to come here to eat and drink all the time."

"What did Ai Ai say?"

There are fewer and fewer younger people in the county. Everyone is willing to go to the city or other places to find a way out. Most of the people who stay in the county are old people like his grandmother.

Before Qu Yihang's mother opened a hamburger restaurant, the two families were neighbors, and Hao Ai often went to their house to eat.

When Hao Ai was very young, because his mother was a bit stupid, there were always annoying children calling him "little fool". Hao Ai was malnourished and thin at the time, and he couldn't beat them.

When Qu Yihang heard it, he spat at them: "You are stupid, your whole family is stupid." Then he beat them until they dared not speak of Hao Ai again.

They fought countless fights together.

When he was in junior high school, Qu Yihang's family moved to the city, but the relationship between Hao Ai and Qu Yihang was not estranged. He often went to the hamburger restaurant to explain homework to Qu Yihang, and pressed Qu Yihang's head to let him listen. .Without Hao Ai, Qu Yihang would not even be able to pass the commercial exam, and now he might be moving bricks at a certain construction site.

Hao Ai cleaned up the trash on the table, turned on the phone, and found Qu Yihang’s reply a few minutes ago: I’m watching the venue in Xinchuan, and you must participate in the competition I mentioned to you last time. I save face.

Zheng Chuan’s skateboarding culture has developed vigorously, mostly due to the fact that there is a person here who has won an international skateboarding championship. He founded an independent skateboard brand in Zheng Chuan—vaner, and at the same time cooperated with world-renowned sports brands. Over the past few years, it has developed better and better, and it is very appealing to skateboard enthusiasts and professional skaters.

Qu Yihang is a signed skater of this skateboard brand. Hao Ai almost signed with them at the beginning, but he had to give up because he was afraid of delaying his studies.

Zheng Chuan had a large-scale skateboarding competition sponsored by a well-known sports brand during the National Day holiday. Vaner was the organizer, and Qu Yihang was also in charge of coordinating part of the competition.

Hao Ai asked: When will it be compared?The specific time?

Qu Yihang returns: Thursday at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Isn't that the day after tomorrow?

Hao Aihui: Come on.

He thought for a while and asked again: Can I bring someone else?

Qu Yihang replied in seconds:? ? ?With family? ?Fuck!When did this happen?

Hao Ai's face was full of black lines: I brought Zhong Xiu here, big brother, he is very good at skateboarding, I haven't asked him if he wants to.

Qu Yihang: Yes, I definitely will.
