Chapter 237 A different kind of dog licking 1
The old residential buildings reflect the traces of time.
A woman's figure was faintly visible behind the greasy window, and her sharp voice penetrated the room and reached outside.
"That crazy woman started cursing people again, it's really annoying."
Snapped! The resident next door slammed the window.
The woman was blocking the doorway with a knife she had just finished cutting vegetables in. Standing in front of her was Jiang Yuan.
The woman glanced at him up and down, staring at the shoes he had just changed, her voice unhappy.
"Jiang Yuan, you're going out during the holiday? If you don't teach your brother well, you'll end up going out and fooling around all day long."
"Mom, give me a moment"
There was no emotion in Jiang Yuan's eyes. He had long been accustomed to women's attitudes.
The woman made no move to give in. Instead, she raised her hand to block another gap in the door panel.
"Go out tomorrow. Your brother will be back soon. You can help me with my homework."
"I will teach him tomorrow"
Facing Jiang Yuan's rebellion again, the woman tightened her grip on the knife and spoke forcefully.
"Jiang Yuan, if I ask you to go back, your wings will be stiff, right?"
He promised Lin Chujiu that he would go to him today.
Jiang Yuan did not let go, "Mom, I promised my friend that I will teach my brother tomorrow."
"Jiangyuan!"
The woman's eyes were filled with anger, and her face was red with anger, as if she was about to explode in the next second.
"I raised you just to see you being rebellious? You hang out with some shady friends, are you worthy of me! Let me tell you, if you leave this house today, don't call me mom!"
The woman's sharp and violent voice echoed in the small space, as if she was having trouble breathing.
Jiang Yuan raised his eyes and looked through the woman at the dusty calendar on the wall.
Then there were game posters on the wall, game consoles on the cabinets, and pairs of branded sneakers on the shoe racks behind the door.
Everything is the trace of my younger brother.
Jiang Yuan lowered his head, and the washed-white caring shirt came into view.
The woman in front of him screaming madly at him was his mother.
"mom"
"Today is my birthday"
The woman was aggressive, "So? How old are you to celebrate your birthday? Are you ashamed?"
Jiang Yuan quietly confronted the woman. His eyes were so empty, like a pool of stagnant water in a cave, unable to make any waves.
"It didn't happen when I was little, never."
Jiang Yuan's words made the woman speechless for a moment.
"My younger brother is thirteen years old. It has been his thirteenth birthday. You made her braised noodles for thirteen times, and you also gave him thirteen gifts."
Jiang Yuan raised his hand and pushed away the woman's blocking hand. Unexpectedly, the back of his hand was cut with blood by the sharp tip of the knife.
Blood slid down his fingertips and dripped on the mottled floor. Jiang Yuan glanced at it and looked away.
"Mom, did my dad really die of a heart attack back then?"
The woman raised her head sharply, but her back was bent, and her eyes were bloodshot.
On that night of thunder and lightning, her deepest memories were instantly awakened.
"Mom, look up and see that there is no trace of me in this house."
Jiang Yuan's voice was so calm, but the woman felt as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
-
"Jiang Yuan can't find the way? Why did he send a message so that he would never hear back?"
Lin Chujiu put the freshly washed vegetables into the draining basket and looked outside. The sun was setting.
Could it be that something happened to his family?
But Jiang Yuan didn’t tell anyone where his home address was.
Lin Chujiu wiped his hands and took off his apron, "The dishes are done. I'll go downstairs to pick him up."
Luan Shu paused and raised his spoon, "Go ahead and bring me some ice cream."
"it is good"
"Wait a minute, it's inconvenient because my hands are oily. Please give me a cigarette and put it in my pocket."
Jiang Yuan turned off the fire, took two steps forward, and got close to Lin Chujiu.
"Which pocket is the cigarette in?"
"left"
Lin Chujiu opened the corner of his apron, put his hand into Luan Shu's pocket, and took out a few coins.
It's so itchy to scratch with this hand.
Luan Shu raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his lips, his laughter clear and clear.
"Just four yuan, one ice cream per person, come back early"
Lin Chujiu nodded, "Okay"
The Luan trees on both sides of the community are wildly growing with green leaves. At the ends of the long branches, lanceolate flower buds have begun to form, and each tree is light yellow.
The street lights came on one after another.
The last trace of the orange-yellow sunset is still struggling to shine on every pedestrian.
There was a figure under the luan tree at the end. He was tall and tall, with several gauze wrapped around his left arm, but like a winner, he walked firmly towards the person sitting on the lounge chair eating ice cream. .
The setting sun finally disappeared at the foot of the distant mountain.
The corners of Jiang Yuan's mouth rose, and his smile deepened.
"Lin Chujiu"
Lin Chujiu turned around in response and looked at each other with a smile.
"Happy birthday, Gangwon"
His clear eyes were like the blue sky, reflecting his sincere smile.
Even though he had discovered the surprise prepared by Lin Chujiu before, Jiang Yuan still couldn't help but be happy when he heard the blessing from him.
"Standing under the Luan tree, how could you forget me, Luan Shu?"
Luan Shu gently pinched Lin Chujiu's cheek, then took out an ice cream cone from his arms, tore open the package and took a bite.
"Come on up, the dishes are all ready and waiting for you to come."
Jiang Yuan stopped smiling and said, "It's been a long time, I've been delayed by something at home."
Luan Shu glanced at his gauze-wrapped hand and swallowed the complaint he was about to make.
"These three people are so dishonest that they don't take me with them."
Xu Nianbei jumped up to the balcony, stretched his neck to look down, and gave him a middle finger.
"Hey! If you don't come up here, I'll eat it alone!"
-
The flowing clouds move slowly.
It was quite hot at noon.
Lin Chujiu looked down at the address on his phone and checked the store name several times before putting down his suitcase.
"Scattered Paintings of Idle People"
That's right, he's working part-time again to earn tuition for the next semester.
The part-time job this time was in this studio. Although it was not in the city, the salary was quite high and included. All I had to do was clean the tools in the studio one day, and Lin Chujiu came.
But what's up with the tightly closed rolling shutter door.
Didn’t you agree to try it out today?
After sending several messages but receiving no reply, Lin Chujiu looked up and dialed the number under the store's name.
It rang for fifty-eight seconds, and the call was finally connected at fifty-nine seconds.
"Hello, the studio is closed today"
The voice on the other end of the phone was young and full of tiredness, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
"I'm here to apply for a job as a studio cleaner. You asked me to work first today."
"..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and the voice was slightly annoyed, "Sorry, I forgot."
"The key is under the flower pot at the door. You can see it by moving the flower pot. You can open the door yourself. You don't need to take care of it except for the locked room on the second floor. You don't need to touch the brushes and paints. You can take care of the rest. After cleaning, Put the key back where it belongs. I will check it when the child is registered tomorrow, and the salary will be transferred to you later."
"That's it, bye"
The owner of the voice yawned, then the phone beeped twice and hung up.
This heart is really big.
Following the description in his words, Lin Chujiu successfully found the key and opened the rolling door. Hanging on the floor-to-ceiling glass window was a scroll with exquisite paintings of people, animals, and landscapes, which were lifelike.
This shop owner is really not afraid of someone stealing these paintings and selling them.
The classroom is not dirty, just a little dusty, and there is some dry paint on the windows, so cleaning is not difficult.
Lin Chujiu took the bucket of water and began to wipe the stains.
