Chapter 122 Waiting
The route of this bus was somewhat familiar. After getting off the bus, Su Chengyi looked at the stop name on the bus stop sign.
The map on the stop sign shows: Olive District.
Su Chengyi was startled.
Chen Jinzhi took him inside for a while. The place was the same as the last time he came here, with garbage all over the road and messy.
After the rain, the road became even more muddy, and the stench of dirty sewer water was everywhere.
Chen Jinzhi showed no reaction as if he was used to it, while Su Chengyi walked over almost holding his breath.
Finally, her footsteps stopped in front of a three-story old house.
Su Chengyi was a little surprised. How could there be such a building left among the dense Tongzi Towers?
But that’s okay.
It's so conspicuous, so if anything happens, you can easily find it here.
Chen Jinzhi turned around and said with a smile:
“I’m here.”
Although it’s a bit old, it looks better than the crowded Tongzi Tower. Much more.
Su Chengyi nodded, slightly relieved.
The lights in the house were still on. Thinking of what Chen Jinzhi said last time that the man would not be back in a short time, it was probably because the aunt was still inside.
"Go back quickly."
Su Chengyi felt that it was starting to rain faintly in the sky again.
Chen Jinzhi stood there without moving, staring at him with a pair of beautiful amber eyes for a long time, as if he wanted to carve into his mind the image of him standing under the street lamp.
Su Chengyi stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes. She blinked quickly, gave him the umbrella in her hand, and finally turned around and walked inside.
When she reached the door, she seemed to take a deep breath before taking out the key and opening the door.
Although Chen Jinzhi closed the door quickly, Su Chengyi still heard the angry curses coming from the crack in the door.
I don’t understand. In short, it’s something bad.
Su Chengyi was not in a hurry to leave and waited at the door for a while.
After confirming that there was no sound that sounded like domestic violence, he held up his umbrella and left.
But instead of going back the way he came, he went deeper based on his memory.
Yes, he just discovered it.
Chen Jinzhi’s home and Lin Tong’s home are only separated by two small alleys.
This discovery made Su Chengyi feel a little complicated. In the deep night, he sighed softly.
He walked very quickly, and in a few minutes he reached the signboard of Xiaofei’s canteen.
The only light in this alley was still on, and Su Chengyi took a look inside.
Same as the last time I came here, a group of shirtless men were having a passionate fight with the landlord amidst the smoke.
Su Chengyi stood at the door of Lin Tong's house, wondering whether to knock on the door.
The people inside were the same as last time. They suddenly opened the door and walked out.
It’s Lin Zhiwan.
She was obviously startled by the black shadow at the door, and let out a short exclamation.
Su Chengyi quickly took a step back and stood where the light could shine.
Then he made a "It's me" gesture.
When it was clear that it was Su Chengyi, the panic on Lin Zhiwan's face instantly turned into surprise.
“Come in and sit.”
Su Chengyi put the umbrella down against the wall and let her pull him in.
It didn’t take long, and I felt like their family had changed.
At least I have a decent desk.
Unlike before, furniture was basically made of discarded cardboard boxes.
The lights seem to have also been changed. The old dim light bulbs have been turned into LED light tubes.
Su Chengyi turned to look at Lin Zhiwan. She seemed to have changed these days.
Before, my whole body was full of fatigue that was inappropriate for my age, but now that I have a stable job, I look much healthier.
She was born beautiful, but her beauty was partially obscured by dust in the past, but now her beauty is more clear and obvious.
Lin Zhiwan was very happy when she saw Su Chengyi.
She knew that as a sister, she should be more mature and steady, but since the last time, she has been looking forward to seeing him again almost every day.
After many days with this expectation, I never expected that he would suddenly appear here at this time.
Unexpectedly, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.
It’s just that she doesn’t know if this feeling of anticipation is simply gratitude to those who have helped her, or if it is something else, she doesn’t dare to think about it.
How long will Lin Zhiwan have to watch him giggle before she reacts.
Su Chengyi read the seconds in his mind.
Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one
Under Su Chengyi's teasing eyes, Lin Zhiwan finally realized that something was wrong.
She hurriedly pulled up her hair, gestured and asked:
"Have you eaten yet?"
Before Su Chengyi could answer, she came from the corner A folding table was brought out.
It seems to be showing off new furniture at home.
"Next time you come as guests, you will have a place to eat."
She gestured with a smile.
Su Chengyi shook his head and said he had eaten.
"How is work? Is it going well?"
Lin Zhiwan nodded quickly,
"It went very smoothly. Sister Yang is a very good person. She doesn't let me do many things. I am embarrassed to receive such a salary."
Sister Yang ?
Su Chengyi was speechless at this title.
Lin Zhiwan looked like she was at most four or five years older than them. Yang Liu must have asked her to call her sister.
"Don't be embarrassed, even if other people are at her home, the workload is the same."
Su Chengyi has not neglected her practice of sign language recently. When she is free, she will sign to the video for a while.
Obviously there has been great progress, and now there is no obstacle to talking to Lin Zhiwan. The two chatted for a while, and Su Chengyi felt something was wrong, so she asked:
"Where is Lin Tong?"
"He went to Brother Dafei's house to return something. Last time I asked him to borrow a pack of rat poison."
Rat poison?
Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Lin Zhiwan immediately waved her hand and explained:
“It is used to poison rats.”
Otherwise it could be used for medicine or something
Su Chengyi was inexplicably made to laugh.
“Are there rats in your house?”
Lin Zhiwan lowered her head in embarrassment,
“It’s inevitable that there will be rats when you live here. But they won’t come out now. Yes, don’t be afraid.”
Su Chengyi shook his head,
“I’m not afraid.”
After gesticulating this sentence, Su Chengyi didn’t start the conversation again.
Lin Zhiwan wrung her fingers and didn’t know what she was thinking.
What should I say? The topics he can think of are all the daily necessities of life: rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. He may find it boring.
In the small room, the two of them could only stand facing each other, and the scene suddenly felt inexplicably awkward.
Fortunately, Lin Tong came back at this time.
He was also extremely surprised to see Su Chengyi, and happily showed him his new desk.
"How was the exam today?"
That's what Su Cheng suggested.
It's not for any other reason, but because he's so bad at chatting.
Lin Tong smiled and nodded,
"I feel much better than the last time I took the placement test. Thank you very much, Mr. Yi. If there is anything I don't know how to do, I'd like to ask you for advice. , I was enlightened and understood immediately."
Su Chengyi smiled and took off the schoolbag on his back.
Then he took out the English vocabulary book from the waterproof compartment and handed it to Lin Tong.
"This is a key word book that I summarized by myself. They are basically high-frequency test points. There are also example sentences and related grammar that I wrote myself. I think it is more complete than other materials. Send it to you."
Lin Tong took it over flattered.
"But don't you use it yourself? I'll copy it down and give it back to you!"
"No, I've remembered it all in my head."
Su Chengyi really doesn't need it. , with his current English level there is no need to read these.
"English is your biggest weakness now. As long as you make up for it during this last period, you will have a chance to get into any school you want."
Su Chengyi said this very conservatively and did not say anything directly to Tang'an. University.
Because he saw the photos cut out from old newspapers posted on the edge of the desk, which were basically scenes of the capital.
I vaguely remember Lin Tong saying that Lin Zhiwan wanted to visit the capital.
Lin Tong lowered his head and looked through it carefully, while Su Chengyi returned his gaze to Lin Zhiwan aside.
She looked at the two of them talking to each other, but couldn't hear it, and seemed a little at a loss.
Seeing that Su Chengyi finally turned around, she quickly gestured and asked:
"What are you talking about? Lin Tong seems to be very happy."
Su Chengyi suddenly became aroused. Joking in mind.
“I’m saying you’re beautiful.”
Lin Zhiwan's face quickly turned red to her ears. She circled her hand several times without being able to type out a complete sentence. She simply turned her head hastily, not knowing what she was pretending to do.
Su Cheng suggested that she should stop staring here and finally found an opportunity to ask Lin Tong:
"Has your sister ever been equipped with a hearing aid?"
Speaking of which This made Lin Tong feel depressed again.
“I have had it, but my sister broke it when she was working last year. I never repaired it.”
Su Chengyi thought for a while and asked him:
"Can you show it to me?"
Lin Tong glanced cautiously at Lin Zhiwan who was walking next to him, and blocked the desk with his body Drawer, quickly took out a small object and put it in Su Chengyi's hand.
Su Chengyi had never seen a hearing aid before. In his hand, it felt like it was made of plastic, like a small earplug.
He carefully put it into his school uniform pants pocket.
After making sure that the little moves between the two of them were not discovered by Lin Zhiwan, who peeked over from time to time, Su Chengyi nodded towards Lin Tong:
"I'll go and ask if it can be fixed."
Lin Tong was very happy. Becoming nervous soon.
“The repair fee is very expensive, so I can’t let you spend any more money. It’s better to wait a few days. I did poorly in the placement test last time, but I performed well this time. I should have a chance to get a promotion from the school. Prize. I’ll fix it when the time comes.”
Su Chengyi rubbed the small things in his pocket and lied casually.
"It's okay. I know a friend who specializes in this. You might as well ask the price first."
Make friends out of nothing.
His lying expression was so indifferent that Lin Tong was easily deceived.
The purpose of this trip was achieved, Su Chengyi stood up and said goodbye.
The two siblings took him to the entrance of the alley, but still had no intention of going home.
Su Chengyi wanted to laugh a little, so she turned around and said to Lin Tong:
"We have to meet at school the day after tomorrow. Is it necessary to be so reluctant to leave?"
Lin Tong scratched his head in embarrassment.
Actually, it was not that he was reluctant to leave, but that his sister had been following her step by step, so he was brought along.
"I'll come over here to see you in a few days."
Su Chengyi spoke and signed.
Both rain and dew are exposed to it.
Both siblings thought that the "you" he said was referring to themselves.
Because of the next appointment, the waiting time is no longer long.
