Please follow the doctor's advice

After all, Professor Xu was getting old, and he started to feel drowsy after a while after drinking, and everyone got up and said goodbye tactfully.

A group of well-trained students cleaned up before leaving, cleaned the used "instruments" and put them back in place, and packed away the generated garbage by the way, saying goodbye to the teachers respectfully.

Before leaving, Xu Yiren couldn't help turning his head and said, "Professor Xu, thank you."

"Huh?" Professor Xu was really on the "dot" who was struck by sleepiness, and he fixed his eyes to see who he was, "Oh, Xiao Xu. Thank you for what? Oh, don't say it's you , I had to catch whoever rolled down back then, and I had only walked a few steps as soon as I entered the school gate, so I will save you from rolling down seven or eight steps..."

Xu Yiren withstood the wild slap and laugh from someone lying on his shoulder behind him, stood still, and said sincerely: "I am... Thank you for telling me these things."

Professor Xu waved his hand: "Don't thank me, go back, go back, and honor your father well. Hey, Li Chaoyue, are you inhaling your laughter? Go, send all your juniors back, and slow down on the way. "

"Okay, okay, I'll see you off." Li Chaoyue rubbed his face and agreed, but as soon as he walked downstairs, he showed his true colors and greeted several people, "Come on, come on, see the front? There are buses, there are Subway, light rail, where to go.”

One person wailed: "Brother, didn't you say to send us back?"

Li Chaoyue said righteously: "I can drive when I'm drunk? Isn't this noisy? The snow hasn't been shoveled yet, and when the sun comes out, there will be water on the ground. I just dare to drive. Do you dare to sit?" It's an adult, why can't you go by yourself in broad daylight? The car is coming, the car is coming, run!"

After sending away a few people, Li Chaoyue turned around and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xu, I'll leave the car here and drive it tomorrow. Shall we take a taxi back?"

The completely different attitude changed greatly benefited Xu Yiren, and his mood was more than twice as relaxed as before: "It's not snowing anymore, let's go."

The snow on both sides of the sidewalk is stacked with snow, like a piled up trench, waiting to be shoveled away by a snowplow. The road in the middle for people to walk is still clean, the snow has not melted, the ice has not frozen, and it is light Light "creak" sound.

The sky was still gray, but it wasn't too cold after the wind stopped.Speaking of it this way, it seems that the "three nines" is not far away, and there is probably a week or two before the Jingzhe?At that time, it won't be "cold". Will he stay?

Xu Yiren was thinking about something on his mind when someone picked up the hat from the back of his jacket and put it on his head.

He pulled the hat back with his backhand: "What are you doing?"

Li Chaoyue withdrew the claw that was only suspected of committing the crime: "It's windy, aren't you cold?"

Where is the wind coming from?

"not cold."

Xu Yiren looked forward, if it wasn't for the person beside him as a reference, he might have bumped into a snowdrift while walking - by the way, before he was hit by that "big snowball" at noon today, they said Where have you been?

"Brother Xu, why did you come to the research institute today?" Li Chaoyue rubbed his hands and asked, "Are you here to find me?"

"Passing by." Ignoring the credibility of his answer, Xu Yiren suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Has your house been built yet?"

"Ah? Why did you remember to ask this?" Li Chaoyue wondered, "No, it's so difficult."

Xu Yiren made an estimate, and felt that it would not cost much to build a small courtyard or house, at most, it would only cost one hundred and eighty thousand?With Li Chaoyue's current income, even if he can't spend a lot of money buying a house in the urban area of ​​Shencheng, how difficult is it to go back and build a two-story brick house?

He asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Chaoyue said as he walked: "In the past, when a family gave birth to a boy, the homestead was allocated directly to that person. But the houses in the countryside, you know, are not concrete, but brick and wood structures. The older they are, the worse they are. The time is too long. There is no way for people to live in it, so who can live well and build a house? No one. When I was in school, I used all the money in the family to support my studies, let alone occupy the land first. Later The policy has changed. You have to get married before you can set up a household. There are only a few dozen people in the village. Everyone knows that something is going to happen soon, and you can almost get the land. Now it is more strict. You have to get a red book before you can start. Gai, if the household registration is moved to the city, the land will not be allocated.”

Xu Yiren said leisurely: "Oh, it's reasonable, otherwise there will be idle houses everywhere, wasting resources. You don't have time to go back and live longer, so it doesn't matter if you don't build them."

"Then how can it be indifferent? I heard that roads will be built in a few years. If you don't know the road, you can pass through any village." Li Chaoyue cracked his wishful thinking, "Although the homestead belongs to the collective property, it will also compensate some individuals. , if our village happens to be pushed away, based on the area, that would be hundreds of thousands of households. I heard that other villages were developed, and before people came to calculate the area, the whole village built houses overnight, as long as the house with a roof is counted. , and arrange a move-back house. The move-back house is definitely not as expensive as a commercial house, but it is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars anyway. The combination of these two is more than 100 million, and you can get more than 100 million if you don’t do anything. Isn't it like a dream?"

"It's like a dream." Xu Yiren's face was expressionless, "But the dream is the opposite when you say it."

Li Chaoyue was beaten instead of complaining, full of complaints: "Think about it! My mother is urging me all day, so don't make sarcastic remarks. Hey, where can I find someone to go with me to get the certificate?"

Xu Yiren pinched the tail of his words: "Isn't there someone before? Why didn't you get it?"

"Ah?" Li Chaoyue woke up like a dream, "Oh...that."

The fluffy layer of snow that fell on the ground has a certain sound-absorbing effect, and the street is very quiet.Xu Yiren listened carefully for a long time, and was sure that he hadn't spoken at all, so he repeated it very clearly: "Why didn't you get married?"

"There are... so many reasons," Li Chaoyue hesitated for a while, "Oh, I can't tell."

He can list one, two, three, four things that have no rules to follow, of course Xu Yiren doesn't believe that he really can't tell: "Pick the main ones."

"Actually, it's because..." Li Chaoyue failed to pass the test, seized every opportunity to evade his words, "Hey, why did you think of asking this today?"

Xu Yiren was very serious: "Say it first, and then I'll tell you."

"Okay. That time...for some reason," Li Chaoyue was moved by the pie he drew, "we were both cynical and the marriage was fake... Actually, I don't have that kind of relationship with her at all. "

Can this kind of thing be faked?

This obviously went beyond the scope of Xu Yiren's supplementary understanding of the ins and outs of the incident.

But maybe people have a fluke mentality of wanting to believe in self-interested news, or maybe only in this way can explain that the scene ended without a problem, he stopped and glanced at the people around him, although he still couldn't see it clearly, but I didn't ask any more questions, just said "Oh" in a flat manner—anyway, there will be plenty of time to think about it later.

Only then did Li Chaoyue remember that he had not confiscated the money after delivering the goods: "You haven't said why you asked this suddenly, tell me."

Xu Yiren took a few quick steps calmly: "Oh, because I'm bored, I want to gossip."

Li Chaoyue fell behind, knowing that he was being tricked, he snorted softly: "Tch, boring."

Seeing that we are about to reach the crossroads, without the barrier of the fence, this time there is really wind blowing from all directions, and it is wrapped in the real majesty of winter, which is not at all short because it coincides with the festive season ——Xu Yiren glanced back at Li Chaoyue's claws dangling on both sides of his body with nowhere to rest, and curled up into a fist because he wanted to hide in his sleeves because of the cold wind.

Just looking at it makes him feel cold.

"What do you think this is?" Xu Yiren squeezed out a piece of paper from the inner pocket of his jacket, and suddenly turned around and shook it away in front of Li Chaoyue, "Did you drop it?"

Li Chaoyue looked up, and reached out to grab it without even a tenth of a second of delay: "My, my, my! Where did you come from?"

Xu Yiren pinched the corner of the paper and flashed it deftly: "Cleaning, I picked it up under the bed. I wanted to throw it away, but I'm afraid it's something useful for you. What is it?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Li Chaoyue grabbed Xu Yiren's arm before snatching it over. He waved his hand, "I've already thrown it away."

Xu Yiren immediately withdrew his other hand from behind his back: "Do you really think I'm blind?"

Li Chaoyue answered irrelevantly in a hurry: "This is mine!"

Thin paper is even more fragile in the cold winter.The two big men on the left and right have strong hands, and now each holds a corner and refuses to give in to each other, but they both reserve [-]% of their strength to keep it intact temporarily in the middle where its life is hanging by a thread.

Xu Yiren: "I didn't ask who you belonged to, what I asked was what was written on it?"

No matter how dull Li Chaoyue was, he could hear his knowing question, "Have you seen it?"

Then he asked himself in a low voice, puzzled, "How could it be possible to see such small characters?"

Hehe, the volunteers who diligently administered the medicine according to the doctor's orders prescribed by them certainly couldn't give him an answer.

Xu Yiren simply stopped pretending and asked directly: "Why keep it?"

"Because..." Li Chaoyue stood at the crossroads where the wind crossed and thought for a while, "Actually, I'm just like your father..."

Xu Yiren was dissatisfied when he heard this at the beginning: "It's a chance, let's think it over."

"I mean, I think it looks good too." I don't know if it's because the wind is getting louder or his voice is lowered, Xu Yiren had to take a step forward to hear the words clearly, "It's gone after handing it in, I'm not willing to give it to them, So I made a copy."

Xu Yiren lowered his eyes and glanced at the paper in his hand—at home, he didn't think it had any contrast, but now compared with the blindingly white snowdrifts on both sides of the sidewalk, this paper is obviously yellowed and looks like it has experienced many vicissitudes. of vulnerability.

Maybe he didn't notice the creases on the paper when he just picked it up from the ground?So, those two random folds were the first time this piece of paper was folded in this life?

Xu Yiren felt that his actions seemed to be insignificant, and he was able to straighten his back in the name of a rights defender: "Student, I copied the application for you to hand it in. Who told you to embezzle it."

Li Chaoyue: "I moved... I just took it and looked at it. What's the use of me moving it?"

Xu Yiren: "Does 'look' need to be put under the pillow? Doesn't that count as embezzlement? Go and ask what other people put under their pillows."

Li Chaoyue almost jumped up: "You! Didn't you pick it up under the bed?"

Xu Yiren said indifferently: "My family, I have the final say."

"That, that, that, I'll give it to you." Li Chaoyue let go of his hand dejectedly.

Xu Yiren took this flimsy paper page that had reached the age of being able to make soy sauce and say "Howareyou", and folded a neat central axis of symmetry from the back.

"Brother! Don't tear it!"

Li Chaoyue, who had just given up his ownership a few seconds ago, suddenly regretted it, and hugged Xu Yiren's arm tightly, his voice trembling with his hands, begging, "Don't tear it up."

Xu Yiren didn't want to tear it apart at all, and instinctively put his arms around him to prevent the "physical evidence" from being damaged.

Li Chao pressed his arm: "You gave it to me, this is mine, how can you take it away?"

Xu Yiren hadn't figured out how to react yet, but Li Chaoyue tried to separate his hands like a child who had no other choice but to sit on the ground and cry, "Give it back to me quickly, don't tear it up for me." Please...please, you...give it back to me...give it to me..."

His voice trembled so painfully that it was worse than when he came off the basketball court back then. Xu Yiren's thought of teasing him suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly said: "I don't want to tear it up, you do not do that."

Only then did Li Chaoyue relax, he lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, but the hands on Xu Yiren's arms still seemed to be shaking, and even the "white breath" that came out of his mouth was no longer coherent .

On the paper, his age was worse than a person's. Xu Yiren waited for him to relax before putting down his hand, folded it carefully, and touched the pockets on both sides of his coat—it was really just a decoration.

How could someone make such fake pocket jackets and sell them in winter?The guy who sells clothes is definitely mentally handicapped.

Xu Yiren had no choice but to pat the folded paper on Li Chaoyue's chest, and commented softly, "Count."

Li Chaoyue didn't show his teeth or claws or run away this time, as if all his strength had been exhausted by the moment of dispute just now, he caught the piece of paper with both hands, and held it in front of him with his head down.

After standing still for a long while, he unbuttoned the button and solemnly put the old and yellow A4 paper into his inner breast pocket. As if nothing had happened, he said with a tight nose, "Let's go."

What kind of hero is this posture of knocking out teeth and swallowing in the stomach?Who taught him to live through tears and bitterness all the way?

Xu Yiren didn't even move his feet, and raised his hand to press the man's shoulder: "The house you built in your hometown, can you install it in installments?"

Li Chaoyue was no longer interested in introducing the compensation policy for rural demolition, so he asked in a nasal voice, "What installment?"

Xu Yiren grabbed his cold hand, squeezed one finger between his fingers, and clasped them tightly: "Didn't you say how much compensation will be paid for the demolition? If you don't get along, I'll pay for it." Here you are. Can I pay in installments?"

Li Chaoyue: "... what?"

Xu Yiren rubbed the back of his dry hand lightly with her fingertips a few times: "Take a taxi and go home."

Li Chaoyue took a step back, looked back and forth between Xu Yiren's face and their interlocking hands a few times in horror, and stammered, "Ah? No, no, no, let's go?"

Xu Yiren copied both of their hands into his side pockets—

"Go home first, I have something to ask you."
