Gu Pan

Chang Gu’s aunt’s family is quite wealthy. They live in a five-story building—the entire building belongs to her aunt. On the first floor, her aunt runs a grocery store. On the second floor, the whole family lives. The first floor is dedicated to storing sundries, the fourth floor is vacant, and half a small garden and half a vegetable garden are tossed on the fifth floor-in short, life is enjoyable.

Chang Gu can get 1000 yuan a month from his father through his aunt - which includes all kinds of miscellaneous expenses such as school food, tuition and books.The price of goods in Hetang Town is generally not high. 1000 yuan is a huge sum of money for a high school student, and Chang Gu dare not use it indiscriminately—except for necessary expenses, he basically spends the rest of the money on extracurricular books.

"A Gu, why did you come back so late today?" Aunt poked her head out from the kitchen, saw Chang Gu holding a stack of books in her arms, and smiled knowingly, "Oh, did you go to the bookstore to buy books?"

"Yeah." Chang Gu smiled at her shyly, "Auntie."

"Hey, put the book down and come out to eat quickly." The aunt was relieved, and went into the kitchen again, and a soft voice came from inside, "If we Qianqian are as good at reading as you are, then I don't know how much." Don't worry!"

Qianqian is my aunt's daughter, the only child, whose full name is Zhou Qianqian. It is said that she doesn't like studying very much, to the extent that she "gets sleepy when she reads a book".Chang Gu smiled silently, carried the book back to the room, and said nothing.

After a while, Qianqian came back.The little girl is 13 years old and a sophomore in junior high school. She is lively and talkative, so cheerful that it is worrying.As soon as she got home, she chattered endlessly, and her aunt asked her where she went after school as usual and why she came home so late, Qianqian immediately sputtered a bunch of things, causing her aunt a headache and telling Qianqian to shut up and eat .

"You, learn more from your cousin Gu when you have time, look at others, and then look at yourself." Auntie glared at Qianqian bitterly.

Qianqian took food and grilled rice indifferently. She had a good impression of this handsome and seductive little cousin, but girls at this age were a little weird--Chang Gu didn't like to talk, and usually didn't take the initiative to provoke Qianqian, so Even if Qianqian was arguing at home, she would not take the initiative to talk to Chang Gu.

It seems that if you take the initiative, you will be looked down upon by the "clean-eyed" little brother.

After Chang Gu finished his meal, he ordered to go to the rooftop on the fifth floor to help his aunt water the vegetables and flowers.The aunt originally asked Qianqian to go with her, but Qianqian was watching the TV series with great interest, and she didn't want to move her buttocks.

Chang Gu worked hard, and he lived in his aunt's house for half a month. The aunt was kind and treated him well. He should help his aunt with some housework.Every time his aunt asked him to work, he felt relaxed.

This is probably the case for people living under the fence. They are always worried that they will be in the way of others. It seems that only by working hard can they prove their existence value, not just wasting food.

Chang Gu ran briskly up to the roof, dawdling to finish his work - he didn't want to finish the work so quickly, only at this moment his mood was the most relaxed, and he was reluctant to end this short moment so soon.

But there are not many cauliflowers on the roof, so Chang Gu watered them all in a short while.Hetang Town at the end of August was still very hot, and Chang Gu was sweating all over. He stopped and stood there for a while, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a breeze—and it was a cool breeze. The cool night breeze made him feel comfortable.

Chang Gu left in no hurry—he could stay on the roof for a while longer, and if his aunt asked questions, he would be able to answer, as long as he truthfully said that there was wind on the roof, and he would be fine if he sweated profusely after finishing his work and let the wind blow for a while.

Chang Gu walked to the edge of the roof and put his hand on it - and then he made another novel discovery.

Looking down from here, there is only a small three-story building on the opposite side, with burning lights shining in the dark.Sitting on the window sill on the third floor was... probably a young girl.

The girl had a clean and pretty side face, and was wearing a loose vest and shorts, which looked like a set of pajamas, revealing her slender arms and beautiful long legs.Her feet were on the window sill, she was sitting lazily, holding a guitar in her arms.

The natural curls of the girl's shawl fluttered in the wind. She lowered her head and casually plucked the strings of the guitar.Chang Gu couldn't help but listen carefully, and vaguely heard the subtle singing and guitar accompaniment sound coming from afar.

It doesn't sound real, but it reveals an astonishing beauty.

Chang Gu silently watched the girl in the distance, a little lost in thought, and involuntarily relaxed from body to mind, like a string that had been tense for a long time finally got a chance to breathe.Time passed unknowingly, but he didn't notice it, only the girl's slender and nimble fingers and the long black hair that was loved by the wind were left in his eyes.

The breeze played mischievously in her hair, and the moonlight gave her beautiful face a layer of glaze that never faded.The girl lowered her head to play and sang softly, not knowing that at this moment she fell into the eyes of another young man who was full of loneliness and panic, and she had become a scene of her own.

The night was long and the singing continued.
