Chu Guangyao was already hungry, and he was swallowing saliva at this time, but he did not move. He first looked at Chu Ye, and when he saw Chu Ye thanked him and then sat down to eat, he also quickly thanked Mu Jiajun, and then started eating.
There were only three of them in the wonton stall, and they looked very mismatched simply by their appearance. The curious vendor came over to chat with them enthusiastically.
"You are also sending people to school, right? Who is coming to school?" The vendor looked young, in his thirties, wearing blue cloth overalls with a black cloth tied around his waist.
Although he asked with a smile, his eyes fell directly on Mu Jiajun, obviously thinking that it was him who came to school.
However, Chu Ye spoke at this moment and admitted that she was the one who came to school.
"Ah...ok, the little girl is doing well in studies. Where do you come from?" The vendor was quite curious. He looked at Chu Guangyao's face and noticed the similarity between their eyebrows, and then his eyes fell on Mu Jiajun. I can't help but wonder about the relationship between the three of them.
"My home is in Xinnan County down there." Chu Ye responded in a friendly manner, but he didn't want the hawker to widen his eyes after hearing this, and then raised his voice.
"Hey, there is a girl from your county this morning. She is not easy to deal with." When the vendor heard about Xinnan County, he seemed to have found an outlet to express his grievances. Without waiting for Chu Ye to be confused, he spoke out in one breath. .
"You don't know, although that little girl is not bad looking, her words can choke people to death! I have never seen someone with such a tricky temper in all the years I have been doing business." The hawker put his hands on his hips and spoke in an passionate tone.
"You said I was doing business here at noon. The little girl was spinning around and bumped into the edge of the pot. Before I said anything, she accused my pot of blocking her way."
"The people holding the luggage next to her were her mother and her brother. Her brother wanted to hit me at that time, but was stopped. In fact, it didn't get burned at all. The pot wasn't even hot yet." The vendor's eyes widened, as if Let Chu Ye give him a review.
"But the little girl didn't want to. She said that the dress she bought was newly bought and she just wore it today and it was stained by my dust. She also said that it was a fashionable item bought in a department store and she insisted on making me lose money."
"The money I earned in the past half month wasn't enough to buy her a dress! In the end, more and more people gathered, and they didn't want to become famous because of this incident. In the end, they asked me to pay for three bowls of wontons, and that was the end of it."
The vendor let out a long sigh, "I heard them talking when I was serving food, and they said they came from Xinnan County early in the morning. Little girl, you are also from there. I'm sure you two will still be in the same class. You have to be careful not to offend me. ”
The vendor was also kind-hearted and talkative. After all, looking at the coarse clothes Chu Ye wore, her yellow and black skin, and the small wounds on her hands from work, we knew that this girl was an out-and-out rural child.
Looking back at the girl at noon, she had fine skin and wore a white dress that pinched her waist. She attracted the attention of countless people as soon as she appeared at the school gate. However, the little girl did not have any stage fright at all. She raised her head high, as if everything was fine. Can't get into her eyes.
Comparing these two, it is obvious who is easy to get along with and who is not. In addition, the little girl is not willing to forgive when things happen. The hawker is afraid that a silly girl like Chu Ye will accidentally bump into someone, and then he will be bullied. end.
He himself is a child from a rural background. He has been selling wontons on the streets for several years. Naturally, he has met all kinds of people. He knows in his heart that when dealing with rich people like this who look cute and unruly, it is best not to offend him and hold them in his hands. coaxing.
Chu Ye heard the good intentions in his words and naturally nodded repeatedly.
Since her rebirth, although she is not afraid of trouble, she doesn't want to cause trouble for nothing. She comes to school to study and learn knowledge. She is someone who wants to get out of the mountains. It is best to avoid such messy things.
Mu Jiajun and Chu Guangyao had already finished eating. At this time, there was still a small amount left in Chu Ye's bowl. She looked around and accelerated her eating pace.
But the vendor asked again, "What is the relationship between you three?"
At this time, Chu Ye's mouth was still stuffed with food, and he couldn't speak for a while. Chu Guangyao wanted to say that they were siblings, but considering that Mu Jiajun was also here, it was difficult to say that this was them during the introduction. The educated youth of the village.
Just thinking about it made me feel wrong. The food he ate was given to his sister by Mu Jiajun, and his sister gave it to him. In a sense, he also benefited from Mu Jiajun.
Not to mention, Mu Jiajun tutored his sister a lot and was considered a half-teacher. It would be particularly weird if he just said a cold word about educated youth.
At this moment, the young man's clear voice came, "I am their distant cousin. Today my cousin starts school, so I came here to see her off."
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Ye. From an angle that the vendor couldn't see, his eyes were full of smiles.
Chu Guangyao was shocked for a moment, and then thought that this was a good statement. Mu Jiajun was older than the two of them anyway, so it was not wrong to say that he was his brother.
Chu Ye choked and swallowed hard. He opened his mouth to say something, but when he touched Mu Jiajun's bright eyes, he finally said nothing and responded in a low voice.
After Chu Ye finished eating, the three of them greeted the vendor, picked up their luggage not far away, and headed to the school gate.
When he came to the door, Mu Jiajun saw the man selling popsicles on a bicycle again, and he paid for three white sugar popsicles.
The hot weather is scorching the earth, and nothing can soothe the heat in your heart better than a sweet popsicle. Chu Guangyao took the first one, and then said loudly, "Thank you, Brother Jiajun."
With smiles in his eyes, Mu Jiajun handed the remaining two popsicles to Chu Ye. The popsicles could not withstand the heat of the sun, and the frosty surface quickly formed water droplets, which were about to drip. Chu Ye was helpless. Take it. Then, Mu Jiajun still stared at her, raising his eyebrows as if waiting for something. Chu Ye sighed silently, and an inaudible voice sounded, "Thank you, Brother Jiajun."
Hearing this, Mu Jiajun smiled, turned around with his luggage, and ate the remaining popsicles in his hand as he walked.
The three of them looked for the route map posted on the notice board and quickly found the girls' dormitory. It was a tube building with a total of four floors. The lower two floors were painted with green paint for aesthetic reasons.
From below, only four rows of long corridors can be seen. There are occasionally places where clothes are hung to dry, and people are walking occasionally in the corridors.
In front of the Tongzi Building is a row of identical buildings. That one is the boys' dormitory. In front of the boys' dormitory, there is a two-story building, which is where the teacher lives.
There is a piece of paper pasted on the door of the dormitory, which states which floor the new students' dormitory is on, which dormitory it is in, and clearly marks the bed number to avoid disputes among students.
Since school started today, the students had a lot of luggage at once, and there were family members accompanying them, so the dormitory manager was merciful and allowed the family members who were accompanying them to enter the dormitory. However, if they were asked to take their things, they would come out quickly and were not allowed to stay. .
Chu Guangyao and Mu Jiajun were able to help send the luggage up. The three of them walked up to the fourth floor and found 405. Then Chu Ye knocked on the door. Soon, a round-faced girl with two braids opened the door.
She first saw Chu Ye, then her eyes fell on Chu Guangyao, and finally she looked at Mu Jiajun, her eyes widening in an instant.
"Hello, I'm from this dormitory too. My name is Chu Ye." Chu Ye was the first to say hello. The girl in front of him not only had a round face, but also round eyes. She looked very cute.
"You...Hello, my name is Zhao Yue, you can call me Xiao Yue." She realized that it was rude to stare at people, so she quickly looked away, smiled shyly at Chu Ye, and then opened the dormitory door.
There was a girl sitting in the dormitory. She turned her head when she heard the sound. She was pale and thin, and looked like a sickly beauty.
But she was not cold. When she saw Chu Ye, she also smiled shyly, and a thin voice came from her mouth, "You are the new roommate, right? My name is Qin Manwen, and we will be roommates for the next four years."
Chu Ye rolled his eyes and quickly reported his name.
Then she looked around. The dormitory was not big. There were only two iron bunk beds in one room, one on the left and one on the right. There were two half-waist-high iron cabinets next to the bed, which were used to store personal belongings. place.
The bed assigned to Chu Ye was on the left side of the room, which happened to be the lower bunk. Her upper bunk was Zhao Yue, and the lower bunk on the right was Qin Manwen, who looked a little sick. The upper bunk was still empty, presumably because no one had come yet.
When the two roommates introduced themselves just now, Mu Jiajun smiled and nodded in response. Chu Guangyao, on the other hand, was a little reserved. His eyes were firmly locked on Chu Ye and he did not dare to raise his head.
Now the two people unloaded their luggage and did not dare to delay. Chu Ye accompanied them to the school gate to wait for the bus. Soon, a bus going back to the town passed by. Chu Ye put Chu Guangyao on the bus and asked him to arrive. Don't run around in the town and wait for Brother Jianwen to take him back to the village.
Seeing Chu Guanyao nodding repeatedly through the open glass, fearing that she would miss him and turning his head and shouting to reassure her, Chu Ye felt an inexplicable feeling of parting in his heart.
Mu Jiajun still held his leather bag and stood beside her silently. When Chu Ye saw Chu Guangyao away and turned around, he happened to meet his eyes.
"Do you still have to go to the city and take a bus?" Chu Ye remembered that when chatting a long time ago, Mu Jiajun mentioned that his home was in the provincial capital.
"Well, let's go when the bus comes." The school is still some distance from the city, so he has to wait for a passing bus to take him there.
"Is there something urgent for you to come home so suddenly?" Before this morning, Chu Ye had not heard him talk about going home.
Mu Jiajun was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "No, I have nothing to do when I go home, but I received a letter from home some time ago, saying that I haven't seen you for half a year and missed me, and asked me to take some time to go home and take a look."
Chu Ye understood, and the two of them fell into a wordless silence, but soon the bus heading to the city passed by. Mu Jiajun stopped, and when he was about to get on the bus, Mu Jiajun turned his head, reached out and patted Chu Ye's head, a pair of pure white Teeth dazzled in the sun.
"I left money in your package. When you need to buy clothes and food, just spend it directly. Don't save. I'm leaving. See you in the New Year."
"Cousin."
After saying that, he walked quickly onto the bus, and the car started to stir up a cloud of dust.
Chu Ye stared blankly at the cars going away. He raised his hand and unconsciously touched his heart. There seemed to be a small drum there.
"Bang...bang...bang..."
