Chapter 63 As expected
Chen Xue's home is very clean. The living room is a red solid wood sofa, which is probably the same set as the coffee table and TV cabinet. They are both reddish brown and have simple bamboo leaf carvings.
When I first arrived at my classmates’ house, everyone was a little reserved, so no one spoke at first and didn’t eat the snacks in front of them.
Because it was quiet, Gu Lu could smell the smell of Chinese medicine floating in the air from the bedroom.
“I didn’t expect Chen Xue to cook?” Zhang Yudong was surprised.
The kitchen is in the front right of the living room, so several people sitting on the sofa have a clear view of the kitchen. Chen Xue wore an apron and helped cut vegetables. She looked like her knife skills were quite good.
“My cooking skills seem to be quite good.” Zhou Lin’s eyes widened.
In the eyes of classmates, Chen Xue, who is full of swear words, cannot be said to have no tutor - but they also generally think that he opens his mouth and hands when he comes to eat, and does not listen to the stereotypes of his family at all.
Even Zhang Yudong, who plays well with her, thinks so.
Gu Lu had the least accident. He remembered that he helped the old man who overturned his car at the park gate last time. The old man gave them many oranges. Chen Xue was the only one who kept them and said that he would take them back to his grandma.
A girl who thinks about her grandma all the time is not that bad.
After about half an hour, the meeting can begin.
A very sumptuous meal, braised duck with konjac, sea bottom hoof soup, boiled shrimp, and braised vegetables and walnut meat.
"Aren't you waiting for uncle and aunt?" Fan Xiaotian asked.
"It's my birthday, so I won't talk about bad things today." Chen Xue said, bringing a 2.5-liter bottle of Coke, giving each of the friends a full cup, and then poured boiled water for grandma.
Sounds like a bit of a story. Although Fan Xiaotian said that his emotional intelligence was not high, he was not a fool and did not continue to ask.
Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Zhou Lin raised the paper cup and said, "Happy birthday to you, may you always be happy."
"Thank you, hahaha, I will definitely be happy forever." Chen Xue said with a smile , "Grandma, you also raise a glass, we will always be happy."
Grandma also raised it with a smile. There were many wrinkles on her face, which ruined her youthful appearance, but when she smiled - and Chen Snow is the same, both look pretty.
Everyone finished the meal while talking and laughing. After the meal, Chen Xue packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.
"This is the first time Xue'er brings a classmate home. Do you have a good relationship?" Grandma moved a little slowly, but even so she soaked everyone in honey water.
Entertain guests with the best things in the house, grandma has always done this.
“Our park alliance has a good relationship.” After Zhang Yudong finished speaking, he realized that Zhou Lin seemed to have been excluded
“It is said that drinking honey water will improve people’s memory,” Grandma said, "I drink it every day, but there are still many things I can't remember."
Honey water? Plus grandma’s words! If the guess is correct... As soon as grandma finished speaking, there was another sound in her head.
Very good, this book was completely predicted by Gu Lu, but it is not easy to get distracted while chatting with elders.
Grandma may not have talked to anyone for a long time. When Xu Xu talked about Chen Xue’s family situation, the Chen family was a typical patriarchal family (caused by grandpa).
It is said that the status of girls in Fog City is high - but this is only relative. The Chen family is more extreme. If grandma hadn't stopped her, Chen Xue wouldn't have been able to give birth.
After the birth, Father Chen and Mother Chen went directly to work in other places and never came back. It was as if the child had never existed.
Chen Xue is now sixteen years old and has only met her parents a handful of times. It can even be said that she is dependent on her grandma.
Fortunately, grandma has a pension, and although Chen's father doesn't like Chen Xue, he will still send money to his mother.
When Zhang Yudong, Zhou Lin, and Fan Xiaotian heard this, they were filled with indignation.
And Gu Lu came up with an idea, "Living with grandma, there is no man in the family, and grandma is so gentle - no wonder Chen Xue swears a lot and has such a fierce personality." It's really fierce, because he dares to There are only a few adults who "fight" with middle-aged aunts on the street, not to mention students...
Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and Gu Lu deeply understands Understand the meaning of this sentence.
After chatting and eating, a glass of honey water was almost finished, Chen Xue also finished clearing the bowl, and she sent her classmates away.
It won’t be delivered too far, probably to the end of the street.
It’s past two o’clock in the afternoon, a time when there are no customers, so the owners of small stalls selling cotton pants, insoles, socks and other daily necessities are sitting lazily on stools.
"Zhou Lin, thank you." Chen Xue still said thank you when they parted.
Seriously speaking, Zhou Lin couldn’t remember clearly, but the other party thanked her so seriously, and she took it seriously, “You’re welcome, and today’s meal was really delicious!”
Chen Xue left first. She had to go home to supervise her grandma's taking medicine and wave goodbye.
"I just felt today that Chen Xue is really pretty." Fan Xiaotian murmured to himself, "The appearance is almost as good as that of Zhao Juan..."
I originally wanted to talk about Zhou Lin and Xu Meili later, But Fan Xiaotian swallowed it back when people were present.
At this age, it takes courage to compliment a girl in person on how beautiful she is.
"Well, we all have different paths, let's say goodbye here." Zhou Lin was very free and easy, waving her hand to find an Antelope car (taxi).
"Would you like to play games?" Zhang Yudong suggested, "Let's go play Dynasty Warriors."
Gu Lu rejected the proposal and triggered another book. He needed to study it alone.
On the way home, I met many stall owners carrying burdens walking through the streets.
"Cold noodles with jelly, hot and sour noodles with tofu..."
Danzi cold noodles are the most delicious, but I had enough to eat at Chen Xue's house, so I didn't waste the money. He is no longer Gu Lu was a wasteful person in his previous life, but now he knows to cherish food.
At home, Gu Lu also saw [The Real Existence of Sherlock Holmes] [Elegy of the Old Age] [Wisdom and Beauty] turned into a book "Tricks of the Heart".
This book is also called "Mr. Holmes".
Details: In 1947, John Watson has been dead for a long time. Holmes, who was once proud of his talent, is also 93 years old and has retired to a rural farm. However, it was these unremarkable cases that broke the tranquility of his life and led to a past event.
"The introduction seems to be reasoning, but in fact the core is not reasoning." Gu Lu flipped through it in his mind. He had read it in his previous life.
This is not like a mystery novel, but it is the best Sherlock Holmes sequel, and it is also very interesting.
"I can't publish it now. I have to wait until I'm in high school. It's a little more reasonable for a long story to be written by a high school student than by a junior high school student."
"But there is one place that needs a small revision... ”
Gu Lu is very motivated and is also making arrangements.
There are still two months left in the summer vacation, and the rent still needs to be paid. Therefore, even if all the fees for No. 8 Middle School are waived, I don’t dare to get a computer, for fear that I will not be able to turn over the funds on hand.
"Just wait until "The Little Prince" or "Mr. Holmes" starts to be serialized. Don't worry!" Gu Lu said to himself.
Gu Lu called "Times Reasoning" to discuss the signing first.
