walking slowly

Gu Mo woke up early the next morning, or he didn't fall asleep at all in the second half of the night.

Seeing his listless appearance, Gu Qian said distressedly: "Didn't sleep well last night?"

"Ah, maybe it's because I haven't adapted to the new environment."

"The tone of a foreign devil."

"..."

According to the traditional customs, ancestors are worshiped on New Year's Eve. Fortunately, Gu Qian bought the sacrificial supplies in advance, otherwise there would be no shop that would be open when the New Year closes.

Gu Mo carried the metal bucket to the corridor, and only after everything was arranged did he remember to find a lighter.

He doesn't smoke, he groped through the drawer in the room and took out a lighter that Zhou Xing had left with him, feeling a sigh of relief.

After lighting the fire paper to ignite the fire, he threw ingots into the bucket, and after a while, ashes licked by the flames swirled in the air.

He murmured condolences to the elders who passed away in his family, and then solemnly kowtowed three times.

I hope that all the bad things will be buried in the past, and that he and his sister can be open-minded all the way in the new year.

After finishing his work, he stared at the gray ground in a daze, and thought of Zhou Xing's hair color.

He felt that something was wrong with him, since he came back he always thought of Zhou Xing.

It seems that we still have to leave City S as soon as possible, this place is full of too many memories.

For lunch, he made wontons.

Chop vegetables, meat, and ginger, pour in cooking wine, soy sauce, and salt to adjust the stuffing, hold the wonton wrapper in your hand, pick out the stuffing with chopsticks, roll two rolls, dip in some water and pinch at both ends, a big round vegetable and meat wonton It took shape.

In the past, during Chinese New Year every year, either he made it or ignored it, and there would always be wontons to eat.

After going to J City for six years, I only ate dumplings, and I didn’t eat a decent meal of wontons.

It was not cloudy in the afternoon, and the sun shone through the clouds.

He took Gu Qian for a stroll around the neighborhood, and he couldn't help chatting with a few familiar uncles and aunts.

When I returned to the community, there was a man in a neat suit standing downstairs.

When the man turned around and saw Gu Qian holding his arm affectionately, he frowned slightly.

"Why did you come here today? Didn't you agree to have dinner tomorrow?"

As soon as Gu Qian opened his mouth, he knew that the person in front of him was his brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law." Gu Mo called out.

"Ah."

"My brother called you, you're done? Why don't you say anything?" Gu Qian rolled his eyes.

"say what?"

"You... Forget it, you're usually eloquent in the company, but you're a fool outside the company." Gu Qian whispered to Gu Mo.

"This is your brother-in-law, Xu Zijun," she said to Xu Zijun, "This is my younger brother Gu Mo."

Xu Zijun reached out to shake Gu Mo's hand, and then patted Gu Mo on the shoulder.The original intimate movements he did were as rigid as the words he said.

Gu Mo secretly smiled, this kind of temperament is inexplicably cute when paired with Gu Qian.

He looked at this brother-in-law carefully, and always felt who he looked like.

"My parents asked me to take you and my brother-in-law home." Xu Zijun said.

"Parents let me?" Gu Qian curled her lips at Gu Mo, her eyes seemed to say "Look, you're just a goose."

Xu Zijun saw her look in his eyes, paused for two seconds and whispered unnaturally: "I think so too."

puff--

Gu Mo and Gu Qian couldn't help but twitch their lips.

"Then I'll go up and tidy up." Gu Qian walked upstairs.

Xu Zijun followed her and said, "I'll come, you just sit down."

Now Gu Mo is completely relieved, it seems that her sister Yu Fu is very good at it.

Hui'an District and Yangming District are fundamentally the difference between a rich area and a slum. Hui'an District is close to the city center, and those who can buy a house in this area where every inch of land is very expensive are either rich or expensive.

Xu's family is in Hui'an District.

When Xu Zijun drove the car into Longyin Mansion, Gu Mo's eyelids twitched wildly.

As we all know, Longyin Mansion is a community built by the government and arranged for government personnel to live in, and everyone living in it is a high-ranking official who can speak in S City.

Gu Qian only told him that he was married to a second-generation official, but she never mentioned how old this official was.

But he soon found out.

A tall and handsome boy stood under the small building, poking his head down on his mobile phone, as if he was chatting with someone.

When the car drove up in front of him, he put his phone in his pocket and looked up, shouting: "Brother, sister-in-law—"

Gu Mo couldn't sit still at all, the leather chair under his butt seemed to be burning hot, he turned his head suddenly, Gu Qian avoided his eyes and hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car.

He sighed, and opened the car door.

The boy was crying, "Sister-in-law, go slowly", when he saw another man stepping down from the car, his eyes widened.

When he saw who it was, he almost bit his tongue: "Teacher Gu Gu Gu!!!!"

Gu Mo adjusted his glasses and confirmed that they were still on the bridge of his nose: "Xu Ziming."

He should have thought of it a long time ago, Xu Zijun and Xu Ziming, they sounded like brothers, and they looked very similar.

No wonder Gu Qian hesitated and refused to clarify the situation of the Xu family, and it was strange that he became in-laws with his former student.

The three stood at the door and stared at each other. Xu Zijun parked the car in the garage and came over.

He looked at Xu Ziming, then at Gu Mo, and said as if he just remembered, "Brother-in-law, Ah Ming said that you were his high school Chinese teacher."

"Ah."

Gu Mo is uncomfortable with what this brother-in-law is listening to now.

"Then Ah Ming, take the teacher around the house first, I have something to tell your sister-in-law."

"Oh." Xu Ziming secretly looked at Gu Mo, who had a straight face, as if he hadn't handed in his homework.

Xu Zijun dragged Gu Qian, who turned back three times, upstairs, and Xu Ziming swallowed: "Teacher, there is a vegetable garden behind my house, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Okay." Gu Mo said lightly.

Xu Ziming took him around the courtyard, and he got a general idea of ​​the situation of the Xu family.

Gu Qian's father-in-law is now the deputy mayor of S City and the director of the city's Public Security Bureau, and her mother-in-law is the dean of the Public Security Academy.

One at the deputy ministerial level and one at the main hall level, Gu Mo couldn't figure out how such a high-ranking official family would take a fancy to their family.

It's not that I think my sister is not good, but the background gap is too big.

Xu Ziming was still bragging about his brother: "My brother is good to my sister-in-law..."

"When did they meet?" Gu Mo asked.

"I heard from my brother that he is a junior high school alumnus." Xu Ziming said guiltily.

He can't tell Mr. Gu that three years ago, in order to get rid of the marriage, his brother randomly pulled someone to get the certificate, and only brought it back after receiving the certificate, which would make his parents very angry.

When he saw that the new sister-in-law was the woman he had met at the gate of Jing Xi's house, he was also very frightened. Fortunately, Jing Xi had told him that she was Teacher Gu's sister, otherwise he would have misunderstood.

Gu Mo suddenly felt that the world was too small, and after a while he got involved with his students again.

He stared at the well-growing cabbages in the field, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Are all the students in your class okay?"

Xu Ziming pulled out a few weeds: "Everything is fine, except..."

Gu Mo's heart froze.

"Apart from Jing Xi's whereabouts are unknown, Zhou Xing doesn't know what he's busy abroad."

He said that he secretly observed Gu Mo's expression during Zhou Xing, and found nothing wrong.When Hu Xiaoju told him that Zhou Xing and Gu Mo had a good time, he smashed a basket in shock.

Gu Mo was originally emotionally restrained, and after so many years of practice, he put on a mask to protect his true expression.

So Xu Ziming didn't know what was going on in his heart.

"what are you doing now?"

"Well, I heard that my dad got involved in the bureau, and I usually visit and investigate small cases."

Gu Mo thought of the truth or dare he played in the field that year. Xu Ziming's current job is completely inconsistent with his ideal career.

He looked at the tall, strong and handsome guy beside him, his facial features hadn't changed from before, but his temperament had turned upside down.

It turns out that the most impulsive child in the class has transformed into a down-to-earth and reliable youth. This is growth.

Xu Ziming probably thought of the same thing as him, so he stopped talking.

The atmosphere was a little dull.

Gu Mo picked a light topic: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Ziming blushed and stammered, "Female...girlfriend? No, no...have a boyfriend."

"..."

The mask on Gu Mo's face almost shattered, why is society so open now?

"Well...he will come to our house for dinner on the first day of the new year, and I will take him to pay New Year's greetings to the teacher."

Gu Mo couldn't think of anything else to say besides oh.

He feels guilty for these children, because he failed to accompany them through high school due to personal reasons, and he feels that he has lost his qualifications to be a teacher.

Xu Ziming was so excited that he wanted to gather the students from class two for a class reunion.

At this time, he looked a little childish in high school again, and Gu Mo smiled lightly.

The two looked back and forth at the cabbages in the field three times before Xu Zijun took Gu Qian downstairs.

Before dinner time, several people were sitting in the living room staring at the TV screen.

During this period, Xu Ziming wanted to take out his mobile phone to play, but his elder brother yelled "There is radiation, put it away".

Gu Qian's shoulders trembled and he couldn't help laughing.

An idol drama was broadcasting on TV, and Gu Mo looked at the heroine very familiarly.

Xu Ziming said, "Teacher, it's Su Limo from our next class."

Gu Mo took a closer look: "Why did it change?"

"It's a plastic surgery."

Gu Qian's mouth curled up: "You look like a monster."

Xu Zijun immediately waved his hand and told his younger brother, "Change the channel."

Xu Ziming: ...

Co-author here is his lowest status?

"So you don't look bad, you look like a ghost." Xu Ziming couldn't help complaining.

Xu Zijun stared: "Don't say bad words in front of the baby."

"...I'd better go out and play with my phone."

He doesn't care what Su Limo is like, what Gu Mo cares about is what happened between Zhou Xing and Su Limo.

He couldn't help smiling wryly, Zhou Xing really infiltrated his life from every aspect, and there was nowhere to hide if he wanted to.

Now that he's back, he should be prepared to face it before letting go.

"Mom and Dad said they have dinner tonight, so they won't come back for dinner." Xu Ziming walked in from outside the house holding his mobile phone.

"Okay, got it, you go out." Xu Zijun waved impatiently.

"..."

Then he saw his elder brother pointing his sister-in-law to play Xiaoxiaole...

Cooperating with his mobile phone has radiation, but sister-in-law's does not, right?

No such double standards!

He walked out with a sad face, thought for a while and sent a WeChat message in the class group: "Teacher Gu is back."
