In the evening, it was already dark, and Gu Boshi returned home with his niece and a lot of things.

Ms. Shen, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the movement, came out to have a look, frowned and said,

"Boshi, why are you buying so many oranges? There are already several boxes at home, and your father's friend in Yichang can't finish the ones that are given to you."

Gu Shuibei squatted down and secretly took candy from the bag, saying, "Grandma, little uncle said to make these oranges into juice!"

Gu Baishi snatched the candy from Shui Bei's hand, leaving only one stick, "It's time to eat, eat less."

Turning around to Ms. Shen, she said, "I still have honey, and it's good to make juice."

"Come on, the juicer I bought for you has only been used once." Ms. Shen looked at the box of oranges and said, "Why don't you give them to your cousin to supplement vitamins for Shannan and Shuibei."

Suddenly, a small whirlwind flashed out from the next bedroom,

"Gu Shuibei! You're buying candy behind my back again! Give me the candy!"

A little boy who looked quite similar to Gu Shuibei rushed towards her with his teeth and claws open.

Gu Shuibei hurriedly hid behind Gu Baishi, "Little uncle, save me!"

Gu Baishi picked up Gu Shuibei and said to the little boy, "Gu Shannan, don't bully my sister."

Gu Shuibei took the opportunity to make a face at him, Gu Shannan's eyes turned red with anger, but the man in front of him was too tall, he couldn't reach Shuibei, so he could only kick Gu Baishi's foot hard, but he couldn't shake it at all.He shouted, "Why don't you buy me candy!"

Ms. Shen said softly, "Shannan, you just cured your tooth decay, so you can't eat sugar."

Seeing that everyone was standing by his sister's side, Gu Shannan just lay on the ground and couldn't get up. He paddled randomly with his hands and feet, and finished a whole set of backstroke movements.

Gu Baishi took out his mobile phone and recorded a video of his little nephew writhing on the ground. He and Gu Shuibei watched it together for a while, and couldn't help laughing, "Like a frog turning its belly."

Ms. Shen at the side slapped Gu Baishi's hand, "Be careful to let your cousin listen and not slap you to death."

Gu Baishi pointed condescendingly at Shannan on the ground, "If you don't get up again, I'll send the video to your class for other children to watch."

Shui Bei in his arms immediately said, "I'm in this group, I'll post it!"

Shannan jumped up in an instant, wiped away the tears that didn't exist on his face, and said to the shameless uncle and nephew in front of him, "I, hate, you, you!" After speaking, he ran into the room and closed the door.

Ms. Shen sighed, "There are several children in the family, and the New Year is more lively."

Shannan and Shuibei are twins of Gu Baishi's cousin Gu Huaiyan. Because their parents quarreled and ran away, and their grandparents passed away early, the two siblings were thrown in the home of the great-grandfather Gu Pingchuan.

Gu Pingchuan, who was on the phone in the bedroom before, came over with a newspaper, glanced at Gu Bai who was hugging Shuibei, and snorted coldly,

"If your son is a little enlightened, our grandson will run around everywhere."

Gu Baishi glanced at him when he heard the words, but didn't speak.

Ms. Shen responded from the side, "The daughter of the Chen family is very good, she just came back from studying abroad, and she went to school with Boshi when she was a child. I saw that she also had a little interest in Boshi, but the last time your son saw her Seeing her, I actually recognized her as Mr. Li's granddaughter, and that daughter of the Chen family turned red-eyed."

Shuibei said cleverly, "Little uncle must be face blind again!"

Gu Pingchuan put the enamel cup heavily on the table, "I think he is blind! Let him join the party, he said he wants to be a non-party, let him find someone to marry, he said he is asexual, I think He is lawless!"

Shuibei was taken aback for a moment, she looked at Gu Baishi's face, and said in a low voice, "Little uncle, I don't know how to do a question, teach me."

Ms. Shen asked strangely, "What homework do you do this Chinese New Year?"

Gu Baishi carried Gu Shuibei into the study, and he didn't forget to say, "It's better than arguing."

Ms. Shen glared at Gu Pingchuan, whose face was livid, "You provoked your son again during Chinese New Year!"

Gu Pingchuan sat down and snorted coldly, "This Shuibei has one heart with him!"

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Lu Xihan finished his work. There were almost no customers in the supermarket, and the employees were leaving get off work one after another. He was about to leave when he was stopped by the manager.

"Lu Xihan, a guest left something for you, take it away."

Lu Xihan was stunned, "Who, what?"

The manager handed him the small cardboard box in his hand, "Mr. Gu, didn't you sell him twenty catties of oranges before?"

Lu Xihan took it in a daze, it was a miniature heater, why would Gu Baishi give him this?

"Is this thing sold in our supermarket? How much is it?"

The manager said, "It's a prize from the membership activities we've been doing these days. Many customers have won it."

Lu Xihan breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, the prize, as long as there is no cost.

Perhaps Mr. Gu bought too many things and there was no place to put the prize, so he gave it to him.

Maybe it's because Mr. Gu's family doesn't need this most basic heating appliance at all.

But no matter what the reason was, he couldn't help but smile happily.

He carried the birdcage heater in a happy mood all the way back to the empty store, carefully unpacked it, and ignored charging the phone, connected the birdcage to the power supply, turned on the switch, and the two heaters inside The heating tube gradually turned red, and it was as bright and warm as the most primitive charcoal fire in the dimly lit room.

He squatted on the ground and got closer, the warm light shone on his body like hot spring water, and there was a faint smell of scorched rubber, which seemed to become refreshing in this small space.

He put his almost unconscious hand on the birdcage to absorb the heat, and felt that the day's running around was not hard at all.

At this time the phone rang, he glanced, it was Du Haocheng,

"Lu Xihan, where are you celebrating the New Year?" Du Haocheng's voice on the phone was calm, but not far away seemed to be the voice of the Spring Festival Gala, lively and lively.

Lu Xihan was holding the fire with one hand, and holding the phone in the other, "I'm still in the store where I stayed before, what's the matter, is there something wrong?"

"...It's nothing, my mother asked me to call you and ask if you are still alive?"

Lu Xihan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm still alive and kicking. Greet Aunt Xing for me, I bought some oranges, and I'll send them to you when the express delivery starts."

"No need, you can eat it yourself, we have a lot of oranges... you are celebrating the New Year alone today?" The voice on the other side of the phone was a little hesitant.

"Du Haocheng, do you want to inquire about information? You don't need to inquire, I have promised you that you will never study, never read, and never break your promise."

Lu Xihan seemed to hear Du Haocheng sigh,

"I didn't mean to ask you this, forget it. I still want to say, happy birthday."

Lu Xihan looked at the birdcage in front of him in a daze, and then he remembered that New Year's Eve should have been his birthday.

"Thank you, I had a very happy birthday."

The third day of junior high school soon arrived, and the Jingxin Lake Braised Chicken Restaurant opened again, and the employees returned to the store one after another.

The first thing the boss did was look at the electric meter, then turned around and said loudly to Lu Xihan,

"Why did you use so much electricity?"

Lu Xihan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Boss, I'm sorry, I used a heater." In his heart, he cursed that the boss was really picky.

"You actually bought a heater?" The boss was a little surprised. This kid usually saves a lot, and he even bought an electrical appliance.

"It's a gift from the supermarket. It's pretty easy to use, but it's very small." Mentioning this, Lu Xihan still couldn't help being a little happy.

Seeing his beaming expression, the boss said with disgust, "Look, I'm happy with you. I won't hold you accountable for the electricity bill. Come and help me pack up."

Lu Xihan wiped the bird cage clean and put it away. People came in to rest in the cubicle from time to time, and he didn't want to get it dirty.The store's business in the first month of the month is not very good. The college students have not returned to school, and the main customers are from the surrounding residential areas.

Lu Xihan would occasionally deliver food to Yunlin Community, but never came across Gu Baishi's order again.Whenever he passed by the community on his battery, he would subconsciously take a look at that beautiful residential building without even realizing it.

The winter vacation was over soon, and after the boss paid him his salary, he moved back to the dormitory early. He didn't have many things, just some clothes and daily necessities, and the birdcage that Gu Baishi gave him.

Lu Xihan thought that he would be the first to go back to the dormitory, but unexpectedly there was someone else.

He opened the door and saw Du Haocheng making the bed, with a big cardboard box beside him.

"You came back so early?" Lu Xihan put down his things and went to help him cover the quilt.

"It's not fun to stay at home, so I went back to school."

The two of them each grabbed the two corners of the quilt and dusted it a few times. The cotton wool flying in the air made Lu Xihan cough a few times.

Du Haocheng pointed to the box on the side, which contained all kinds of food, "This is the New Year's gift that my mother asked me to send. There are too many to eat at home. Let's eat it at school so we don't waste it."

Lu Xihan knew that Du Haocheng's family had always taken good care of him, and he often used his part-time job money to buy some things to send back to Aunt Xing.

Just as he was about to say something, the bedroom door was opened.

"You guys are actually earlier than me!" The person who entered the door was roommate Wang Siqi, who was addicted to computer games on weekdays and was an out-and-out homeboy.

"Wow, Du Haocheng, it's really interesting that you brought so many snacks here, we can't eat them all in the dormitory for a month!"

Wang Siqi dropped the suitcase, ran straight over, picked out the snacks inside, and opened a pack of biscuits.He obviously thought it was brought by Du Haocheng to share with everyone.

Du Haocheng knelt down angrily and closed the box, frowning and saying,

"My mother gave it to Lu Xihan, you can't move it." He said while pushing the box towards Lu Xihan's bed.

Wang Siqi was eating, and when he heard this, he was embarrassed and angry, threw the remaining biscuits on the ground, and said loudly,

"If you don't let me eat, don't let me eat, how much is it worth, who the hell cares?" After speaking, he turned to pack his luggage, and there was quite a commotion.

The most embarrassing thing was Lu Xihan. On the first day of school, swords were on the verge of breaking out in the dormitory, so he had no choice but to smooth things over.

"I made a lot of money by working part-time during the winter vacation. How about treating everyone to a hot pot tomorrow? A new Chongqing hot pot has opened near the school. I heard it's delicious."

Du Haocheng knew that he didn't make much money at all, and was about to reject him, when Lu Xihan put his hand on his shoulder, gave him a look, and he had no choice but to shut up.

Wang Siqi and Lu Xihan had a good relationship on weekdays, so they didn't take his face off at this time.

"Okay, I'm celebrating the New Year in Jiangsu, and my mouth is almost tasteless." Wang Siqi is from Sichuan.

Du Haocheng didn't say anything, and came over to help Lu Xihan tidy up after finishing packing.

He saw the heater next to the bed, and wondered, "The school doesn't allow heating appliances, why would you buy this?"

Lu Xihan only talked about the prizes from his part-time job in the supermarket, but Du Haocheng stared at it for a long time.

At night, the last person, Li Yaowen, dragged the suitcase into the dormitory.

"Have you heard that the news interview and writing class of our grade has changed teachers this semester!"

Wang Siqi didn't care about these things, he just focused on the game, but Du Haocheng asked,

"Who did it change to? Why didn't the previous teacher Lu Qiu go?"

Li Yaowen sat down and took a big sip of water, and said mysteriously, "Ms. Lu has given birth. This year, he is a substitute teacher for graduate students. He just returned to China. He is a very young and powerful associate professor with a strong background!"

News interviewing and writing are basic professional courses for undergraduates of the School of Journalism. Teacher Lu Qiu has always taught them, but she is only a lecturer at present.

Lu Xihan didn't care much about who the teacher was, let alone his background, as long as he could attend the class.

Du Haocheng said to himself, "I don't know how the new teacher will score."

After all, university is not like high school, each teacher has his own style of scoring, and Du Haocheng, who is very concerned about grade points, is quite concerned about this.

After a while, Li Yaowen took out a brand new SLR camera and fiddled with it. He wanted to show it to his roommates, so he said,

"There is still a photography class this semester. I heard from the seniors that the cameras in the courtyard are very old, and they don't work from time to time. You should buy a new one yourself in advance."

Li Yaowen is a local second-generation official, but as for what kind of official his father is in Wenhua City, he has always kept it a secret.Among the four people in the dormitory, Li Yaowen's family background is probably the best.

Du Haocheng was really interested when he heard the words, he walked over, Li Yaowen began to introduce the performance of the newly purchased camera, Wang Siqi also began to ponder whether to buy a SLR after hearing the words, for their profession, it is much more convenient to have a camera.

Lu Xihan was quite interested in photography, but he obviously couldn't afford it, so he didn't participate in their discussion.
