Chapter 69 Fracture
Mother Gu was startled. She didn’t know how to answer her daughter’s question.
"Your brother was given to his dad, and mom also started a new family," Gu's mother found a reason, "If the relationship is very close, your Uncle Xiao will be unhappy."
"You don't understand adult matters as a child. You can't play every day during the summer vacation. After you finish your summer homework, prepare for it." Gu's mother was worried that her daughter would question her again, so she sent her away with her studies.
She also added, "Do you also want to be like your brother? If you don't study hard, you won't even be able to pass the high school entrance examination."
Why didn't Father Gu tell Mother Gu that his child was recommended to No. 8 Middle School?
It's very simple, because Gu's mother was afraid that Gu's father would get entangled, so she blocked all contact information. She could only call him, and Gu's father couldn't take the initiative to contact him.
Why can’t you get into high school? Gu Jiayu really wanted to blurt it out. My brother is much better than Xiao Yang and has been recommended to the best high school in Fog City.
But Gu Jiayu swallowed his words as he spoke. A hero should keep his mouth shut.
Returning to the bedroom, Gu Jiayu found that the bow and arrow toy his brother bought for him was missing. She thought quickly and hurried to Xiao Yang's bedroom.
As expected, Xiao Yang was playing with it.
"Why did you take my bow and arrow? Give it back to me quickly." Gu Jiayu said.
“Lend it to me for fun, and I’ll give it to you later.” Xiao Yang said, continuing to play with the plastic bow.
For little boys who are a little bit in middle school, bows and arrows are good toys.
"Give it back to me." Gu Jiayu was anxious. It was a toy that her brother bought for her, and she was not willing to play with it herself. And without saying a word, he took it from the room.
How abominable!
Gu Jiayu reached out to get it, but Xiao Yang was much taller than her. The latter raised his hand, but Gu Jiayu couldn't reach it even if he stood on tiptoes and jumped up on the spot.
The angry Gu Jiayu's face looked like a small pufferfish, and he looked at Xiao Yang angrily.
I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but Xiao Yang played more energetically and used a lot of force.
Then - click, the toy bow broke. It was originally a children's toy. How could Xiao Yang, who was almost 1.7 meters tall, be able to withstand the force?
Xiao Yang was quite embarrassed holding the bow at this time, but human nature is to blame others, so he immediately said, "The quality of this toy is so poor, I didn't even use any force."
As he said this, Xiao Yang Throwing the toy aside, Gu Jiayu picked it up and ran out of the bedroom.
She ran to the kitchen to ask for help from her mother, "Mom, Xiao Yang broke my bow and arrow."
"That toy you brought back?" Mother Gu said, "If it's broken, then It’s broken. It’s not an important thing. Why are you so anxious?”
“Xiao Yang just took my things without my permission and then broke them. This is not good!” Gu Jiayu wanted his mother to criticize him.
But Gu's mother said, "Jiajia, why are you so ignorant? Your Uncle Xiao and we are a family, and Xiao Yang is your brother. Can't we just play with your toys?"
"Besides, when I look at you The quality of that toy is not good..."
Gu Jiayu couldn't help but interrupt Gu's mother, "That was a gift my brother bought me. It's of good quality, and it has a different meaning."
Gu Lu was involved again, which made Gu's mother unreasonably irritated. This irritation might be because Gu Lu didn't want to come to her birthday this year, or he didn't plan to give her a birthday gift.
"Okay! I'll just buy you one later. What's the difference? What's the meaning of toys? Do your homework well and don't make unreasonable troubles." Gu's mother's words were wrong because Gu Jiayu was stingy. .
Gu's mother likes her daughter very much, but only if her stepfather's family is not involved. Gu's mother has a low self-esteem to please Uncle Xiao, so when it comes to food and needs, she will first choose to satisfy Uncle Xiao and Xiao Yang, and then Gu Jiayu is himself in the end. Naturally, when her daughter and Xiao Yang had a dispute, Gu's mother, right or wrong, decided that her daughter was ignorant.
Gu Jiayu went back to his bedroom and closed the door.
She only felt angry when Xiao Yang snatched her things, and Gu Jiayu felt distressed when he broke the toy. But her mother's words made Gu Jiayu's eyes turn red. This was not the first time that she had done this.
Gu Jiayu took the transparent tape and wrapped the broken part of the red arrow with tape. She had not even played with the gift her brother had given her...
"I am a female knight and cannot cry. The knight is the most powerful and cannot cry. I cannot cry."
This is how she "comforts" herself every time she feels wronged and dependent on others.
Time: 11 noon
Location: Cultural Village
Characters: Gu Lu and others
"It's convenient to be near No. 8 Middle School, and the courier station is also close. Of course, it would be better if Cainiao Station can come out quickly." Gu Lu sent away the contract for "The Reasoning of Time", and there was a copy of Gu's father's ID card. Hands are easy to use.
"Now that I am also a contracted writer for two magazines, it is not a problem to support myself with income." Gu Lu thought in his mind.
Han Zang told him that the manuscript of "Mr. Holmes" with more than 50,000 words is being proofread, and when the proofreading is completed, it will be settled at 180 words per 1,000 words.
That will get nearly 10,000 yuan in royalties! Gu Lu planned to wait until the account was settled before going to the computer city to get a computer. In the era when JD.com was not yet famous, the computer city was still useful.
At that time, Gu Lu will be able to bid farewell to black Internet cafes completely.
The key is that next year it seems that illegal Internet cafes will be severely cracked down, and eating tools should be bought in advance.
Today, Gu Lu originally asked Fan Xiaotian to play out, but he went back to his hometown of Qianjiang, so he agreed to make an appointment next time.
It’s like this. No matter how good your relationship was when you were in school, once you graduate, there will be subjective and objective reasons that make it difficult to date someone.
It doesn’t matter. Anyway, there are a lot of things going on this afternoon. Gu Lu has to go home and pack a change of clothes or two... What's the difference?" Gu Lu discovered a more serious problem.
The clothes of the original body are limited, except for the school uniform, which can be matched with at most one outfit. The rest were either too small or had tears in their crotches.
And the underwear is even more - I bought it three years ago. We all know that children spend more on clothes, so I can’t describe it accurately.
"So, when the school bell rang, I was one of the first to run to the school gate? Is there any reason for this?" Gu Lu shook his head violently. Are you thinking of anything weird? Hurry up and buy some clothes, otherwise you will be shabby when you go out to participate in activities.
That’s right, because the AC Forum’s offline 10th anniversary event included air tickets and accommodation, Gu Lu agreed to go to Ice City to see it.
As mentioned before, the headquarters of "The Reasoning of Time" is in Daqing, so the event will be held in Bingcheng, the capital of the Black Province. There is nothing wrong with that.
"The Reasoning of Time" estimates that there are about thirty signed writers, and the one Han Zang is looking forward to most is Teacher Xiao Gu. Because as an editor, he also wants other writers to see "Teacher Xiao Gu".
Gu Lu put on his school uniform and went out. The school uniform was designed to be so loose. On the one hand, it is convenient for movement. On the other hand, children grow up quickly, so it is not easy for the school uniform to become too small to fit.
With the current temporary income level, Gu Lu could not afford to buy branded clothes. He went straight to the underground shopping mall. Economical and affordable was the key.
