Brother's wrong way to open

Gu Changyu went to find Hao Ping and Xia Yishu.

Hao Ping's family conditions are mediocre. Her father likes to drink and doesn't care about things at home except for work. Her mother values ​​money more than her life, and her younger brother is the second most important thing.As a girl, Hao Ping does not need much investment in her eyes, so Hao Ping has also developed an independent character since she was a child.

As soon as freshman started, Hao Ping found a job cleaning in a martial arts hall through an intermediary.Originally, she only planned to find a job as a tutor or a part-time job on weekends, but the agency told her that the competition for tutoring is fierce, and it often takes a long time to get one. Although there are many part-time jobs, most of them have very low wages and often have to change jobs.The salary offered by the martial arts gym is quite attractive, and it can be done for a long time. She only needs to clean up before class.Considering that she has more freedom in time, she agreed.

The martial arts hall has classes five days a week, and is closed on weekends. Classes end at [-]:[-] pm every day and the hall closes at [-]:[-] pm.Hao Ping hurried to the martial arts gym after class on Friday afternoon, and she wanted to do a good job of sanitation before closing.

There are still people in the women's shower room, and she plans to clean the venue first.First wipe all the tables and chairs, even the doors and window sills, and then sweep the floor.It seems that the previous cleaner didn't do it seriously. She even swept out a lot of cigarette butts behind a green plant.

"Tsk tsk, so many cigarette butts." She said to herself.

"Well, that auntie is lazy and doesn't clean up very thoroughly." The sudden voice startled her.

Looking back, a person wearing a black T-shirt and wiping his hair with a large towel was standing behind him. It should be the person in the shower room just now.

"Even wiped the treadmill." The man casually put the towel on his shoulders and touched the track of the treadmill.

"Yes." Hao Ping was a little cautious.

"My name is Xia Yishu. If you need any help, you can find me in the lounge." Seemingly feeling that she was a little nervous, Xia Yishu explained and left.

Hao Ping breathed a sigh of relief, she seemed a little afraid to face this person.

After sweeping the floor, it was time to mop the floor, first with a wet mop and then with a dry mop. In order to catch up with time, Hao Ping sped up the pace, sweating from exhaustion.Seeing that it's closing time at [-]:[-], and the two shower rooms haven't been set up yet, it seems that we can only come back tomorrow.

"Hello," the lounge door was open, and Hao Ping knocked on the door.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yishu looked up and asked her while he was reading.

"The shower room is not finished yet, can I come back tomorrow to clean it?" Hao Ping asked.

Xia Yishu originally wanted to say that he could wait for her, but seeing her sweaty face, he changed his mind: "Yes, what time tomorrow?"

"Five p.m."

"Then I'll come and open the door at five o'clock in the afternoon."

"Thank you." Hao Ping felt a little guilty when she had to make another trip to open the door. "Next time I will be faster."

"It's okay, I'll be free tomorrow anyway." He said and picked up the coat on the back of the chair, "Let's go, I'll see you off."

"No! No! The bus is very convenient, I just take the bus." Hao Ping quickly refused.

"Are you going back to school?" Xia Yishu asked.

"Yes." Hao Ping nodded.

"Then it's just on the way, let's go."

Hao Ping couldn't refuse anymore, so she obediently got into the car.

"Do you often do housework at home?" Xia Yishu asked.

"Yes." Hao Ping nodded.

"That's rare. Girls nowadays are very spoiled and never do housework."

"If you have to do it, you will do it slowly." For her, her mother has to play cards, and housework and cooking are her duties.

She is not very willing to talk about her life. For her, life is just living. There is nothing to look forward to and nothing to be proud of. It is plain and pale.

"I've lived alone since I was a child, and I'm not as good as you." Probably seeing her avoidance, Xia Yishu began to talk about himself. "I have been learning martial arts alone in martial arts gyms in other provinces since I was 12 years old, and I may not go back once every two or three years."

Seeing Hao Ping staring at her with great interest, obviously wanting to hear more, she smiled and continued: "The martial arts gym is closed, mainly teaching martial arts, and there will also be cultural classes. I was not used to it at first. Always want to go home."

When the red light came on, Xia Yishu stopped, as if he was thinking, but didn't speak.

"Then have you gone back?" Hao Ping couldn't help asking her.

After a long time, the green light turned on, and Xia Yishu started to start. "I went back, I went back secretly. I sat in the car for a long time, and when I got home, there was no one there. My parents and elder brother were not at home a long time ago. I don't know where they went. They send me money every year, but no one When I got home, no one left me a message."

Hao Ping didn't know how to comfort her, and felt that she really shouldn't ask.

"Here we are." Xia Yishu stopped the car at the school gate.

"Thank you!" Hao Ping got out of the car to thank her.

Xia Yishu smiled and drove away.

The phone rang, and Hao Ping answered it: "Mom, what's the matter?"

"Pingping, where did you get your brother's game console?" Hao Ping was the one who took care of everything at home, so if you can't find anything, you can definitely find her.

"I saw that he hadn't played for a long time, so he put it away, and it was on the right side of the cabinet above his closet." Although she lives on campus now, she goes back to clean up every week, so she still packs things at home.

"Okay, okay, I see." Mom said impatiently, and then hung up the phone.

In the past, this kind of situation would make Hao Ping uncomfortable for a while, but after chatting with Xia Yishu today, she suddenly felt much calmer. At least, her parents and brothers were still by her side and did not abandon her.

The next day, Hao Ping came to the martial arts hall early, and the door was indeed open.Xia Yishu was reading in the lounge, Hao Ping greeted her and went to clean the shower room.

The shower room was cleaned quickly, and Hao Ping was quick to finish the work in less than an hour.

"Instructor Xia, I'm done cleaning, thank you for waiting for me." She had heard the guard call her 'Instructor Xia', so she also called her that.

"It's okay, come and have a rest." Xia Yishu poured her a glass of orange juice.

Hao Ping couldn't refuse, so she walked over and sat down.

Xia Yishu picked up the book and started reading again.

Hao Ping was surprised to find that what she was watching was "Journey to the West".

"Do you like to read Journey to the West?" Hao Ping asked.

"I want to read some books in my spare time, but I don't know what to read, so I start with the four most famous classics. I have finished reading "Water Margin", so I will read this now." Xia Yishu said.

She leaned on the armrest and sat on the sofa, propping her forehead with one hand, casually flipping through the books on her lap with the other hand. The short hair on her head was neat and neat, which resembled her dress and personality.

Hao Ping looked at her shiny black hair and didn't know what to say, nor did she want to say anything.

The two sat in silence for a while, Xia Yishu looked up and found that she was just sitting holding a paper cup, so he smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll see you off."

"No, no need, I'm going home today, not going to school." Hao Ping quickly refused.

"Where is your home?"

"It's quite far from the West Station."

"There is often traffic jam at the West Railway Station. You don't know when you will get home by bus. Let me see you off." He said, picked up his coat and left.

Hao Ping could only keep up.

When approaching the West Railway Station, traffic jams really started. Seeing that the traffic jam was serious, Xia Yishu decided to take a detour to the riverside. Although it would be much farther, at least he avoided the traffic jam.

The road by the river is relatively narrow, but there are many flowers blooming. Hao Ping, who has never been here before, can't help but admire it.

"Do you want to go down and take pictures?" Xia Yishu asked her.

"No need, it's a waste of time, just look at it this way." Hao Ping didn't want to delay her for too long.

Xia Yishu simply pulled over and stopped the car, opened the door, and looked at her.

Hao Ping had no choice but to get out of the car.

The long winding road by the river extends into the woods under the setting sun, and clusters of flowers of various colors surround this quiet road.

Hao Ping took photos of the road, the flowers, and secretly took a photo of Xia Yishu leaning on the car and looking into the distance, but he didn't take a photo of himself.She felt that she was not beautiful, or not beautiful enough, because no boy had ever expressed interest in her.

But obviously Xia Yishu didn't think so, she picked up the phone and said to Hao Ping, "Beauty, look here." The moment Hao Ping turned her head was recorded in the phone.

The delicate girl with the ponytail looked back at the camera with some doubts. Behind her were the continuous flowers and the gurgling river. "It's as beautiful as an oil painting," Xia Yishu said.

"Come on, let me take a photo with our oil painting beauties." Xia Yishu said.

Hao Ping approached her obediently.It was still too far away, Xia Yishu, who was taller than her, simply put one arm around her, and took an intimate group photo with his head turned sideways.Xia Yishu looks handsome, and the photo of the two of them is also beautiful like a painting.

When we arrived at Hao Ping's house, Mother Hao hadn't come back yet, and there was no one at home.

"Let's have dinner at my house." Hao Ping said.

"No, I have an appointment with a friend."

"Yeah." Hao Ping thought for a while and said, "Let's have a cup of tea before leaving."

Xia Yishu smiled and replied, "Okay."

"Is this your room?" Xia Yishu pointed to the room next to the kitchen that looked like a utility room.

"Yeah." Hao Ping was a little embarrassed. It was full of sundries, such as rice noodles, oil, plastic buckets, old quilts, etc.

"It's quite comfortable to look at." Xia Yishu was telling the truth. Although there were a lot of sundries piled up, they were neatly arranged and cleaned. There were still a few pots of small succulents, bedding Simple and clean, it makes people feel comfortable and comfortable.

"Pingping, I brought you some clothes back." Hao Ping's mother said as she walked in the door.

"Mom, I said I don't want it." Hao Ping went up to meet her and whispered to her mother.

"Why don't you want them? They are all brand-name clothes. Your cousin hasn't worn them a few times. They look like new ones. Wearing them out will save face and save money." Hao Ping's mother didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Okay, okay, give it to me." Hao Ping reluctantly took the bag from her mother and put it in the corner of the room.

"Mom, this is my senior sister. She is going back. I'll see her off." Hao Ping pulled Xia Yishu and walked out.

"I'm sorry for concealing your identity." Hao Ping didn't speak until she walked downstairs.

"Don't you want her to know that you are working part-time?" Xia Yishu asked.

"Well, if she finds out, she will ask me to hand over my wages to her for safekeeping." Hao Ping said a little ashamed and sad: "She won't even give me money to buy clothes, she will only bring me back Some were unwanted, like today. Sometimes I even wonder if I adopted, because she was totally not like that to my brother."

"If you were adopted, she won't let you go to college." Xia Yishu said.

After a while, Hao Ping sighed and said, "You're right."

"Don't think too much, study hard and work hard, that's the most practical thing." Xia Yishu has always believed that hard work and self-improvement are the last word.

"Yes." Hao Ping felt that this person was pragmatic and clear, and what he said made people feel at ease.

"Then I'm leaving, my friend is still waiting."

"Well, thank you and goodbye."

Xia Yishu smiled and waved, and drove away.
