if you are still there

Ding Xu was discharged from the hospital after a few days, and lived with Mr. Ding in the small courtyard.

He has a calm personality and is diligent in his hands and feet. He followed the old man to get up in the morning to fight, went out to buy breakfast, and helped tidy up the flowers and plants in the small courtyard.

After transferring to another school, his life was quite peaceful. He planned to go to City L with Mr. Ding in his heart, and didn't want to stay in the capital for too long, so he kept a low profile.To Ding Xu, learning junior high school textbooks after rebirth is like using a cheating device. He tried to maintain his grades at the upper-middle level and did not stand out, so he did not get much attention from the teacher.

There is not much interaction with the classmates. He works between Mr. Ding's residence and the school. He basically arrives at school on time in the morning and goes home immediately after school.

Ding Lao occasionally let Ding Xu play chess with him, and he was a little pleasantly surprised to see that he played well, and sometimes he would take him out to catch a few chess games.It's all his old friends, sneaking in and playing two games to relieve boredom.

Ding Xu had learned chess from Mr. Ding before, and when he played again this time, Mr. Ding was thinking of something. Needless to say, Ding Xu had placed the chess pieces in the right place, which made the old man feel comfortable and satisfied.

The other old men were also quite surprised. They looked at Ding Xu carefully, and said, "Old Ding, your little grandson is amazing. You're doing well! How long have you been with him?"

Mr. Ding touched the beard on his chin, and said proudly: "It didn't take long, he just came here for a few days, he played two games with me in his free time, he learned it by himself."

The old man sitting next to him put down the chess piece, ate a rook set out by Ding Xuxin, and said with a smile: "Hey, you are self-taught! The little guy is pretty good. There are not many people who can play chess with patience these days, old man Ding, I really envy you, those little guys in my family ran away when they saw me, and they couldn't catch anyone to play chess with me!"

Old Ding instructed Ding Xu to re-arrange the layout, and said: "I would like Ding Xu to go out more and meet some friends. He just came to the capital and has a shy personality. He is either bored at home studying all day or just like me. The old man plays chess and plays with flowers and plants. If you have time, please help my kid introduce some children... Ouch! Old Su, I have no regrets, I won’t take it back! Let it go, let it go!"

The old man surnamed Su blushed anxiously, clutching the chess piece and refusing to let it go, "I'll just make a gesture, whoever wants to let it go!" Saying this, was it because several old men next to him jointly pressed the chess piece to put it away? Returning to the original position, watching himself being eaten, his distressed face wrinkled.He sighed, he became a little absent-minded while playing with the chess pieces, and said, "There are quite a few kids who are about the same age as Ding Xu, but those guys are too naughty, and they are pretty good from Bai's hometown."

"Bai Bin? That kid is not bad. I saw him last time. Bai Lao brought him here to catch up with the dinner. There are too many people and we divide it into three halls. The half-sized boys alone occupy a small hall." The one who had been watching chess from behind The old man also opened his mouth, with a smile on his face, "I'm still worried, a bunch of brats next door can't make a fuss in one room? I didn't expect to spend half a meal , it’s all up to Bai Bin, hehe, it’s better than the order maintained by the parents!"

Ding Lao thought for a while, and said: "The Bai family is a good boy, which school do you study in? I remember that Bai Lao seems... not in the capital now, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Bai went to City L after retiring. Bai Bin is not so clear. The teaching environment in the capital is good, so he should stay here, right?" Mr. Su put down the chess pieces, got up and called to ask.

Ding Laogang said "thank you", looked down at the mess, and couldn't help laughing: "This old bastard, he ran away when he was about to lose. They also engaged in diplomacy like this back then? What a fool!"

Ding Xu's eyelids started to twitch when he heard about Bai's family, and he couldn't be more sure when he heard how these old people praised Bai Bin.

It was really that Bai Bin.

His impression of Bai Bin is actually not bad, but it's hard to say about the other guy who is bound to Bai Bin. That guy's name is Ding Hao. If he remembers correctly, he should be in L City at this moment.He had a brief encounter with Ding Hao in the past, and he had a few encounters with him, but none of them were pleasant.The first time, that bastard sent him to the hospital, he was allergic to alcohol and rested for more than a week before he recovered...

Ding Xu closed his eyes and suppressed the throbbing veins on his forehead.

If he did it again, he would definitely avoid this little overlord. Only Bai Bin could help him clean up the mess patiently with a smile all the time, and he didn't know what he was trying to do.

Mr. Su got in touch soon, and came back and said, "Unfortunately, Bai Bin is also in L city, and he goes to school there. Mr. Bai said that the school with militarized management has good teaching quality, but he can't be with Ding Xu. Let’s be a companion. So, later on, I’ll let those brats in my family take Ding Xu with me?”

These are all polite words. The children in Mr. Su's family are older than Ding Xu, and they are in the second year of high school, and they can't hang out together, so Mr. Ding naturally declined the kindness.

Before leaving, several old gentlemen got up to see off Mr. Ding, brought some fruits from the south to Ding Xu, and told him with a smile to play with grandpa next time.

"Those brats in my family are not obedient to Ding Xu!"

Old Ding smiled and looked at Ding Xu with satisfaction in his eyes.He took Ding Xu back and asked him on the way, "How quiet was it when you were with your parents? Don't you usually go out to play with your friends? Are you bored with an old man like me all day long?"

Ding Xu said: "It's not boring, I usually don't have many friends, and my parents are quite busy."

"Yo, how many are there?" Mr. Ding was very interested, and asked, "I met them at school before. Do you miss them? What are their names?"

Ding Xu thought for a while and said, "Xiao Liangwen and Fu Dongli."

Old Ding let out a sigh, and said, "Fu Dongli, is that the little grandson of the old Fu's family? I remember him, and there are two older brothers, right? The second child was also naughty when he was young. His name is Dongzhe, right?"

Ding Xu hummed and said, "Yes."

"Hehe, these boys are not bad. The second boy of the Fu family has a lot of eyes and loves his younger brother. You were young at that time. When his family was still in the capital, Dong Zhe would go out to play with his younger brother on his back all day, and his parents went to work. He is also busy, the young and old are basically watched by him.” Ding Lao fell into the memory and thought for a while, and said with emotion, “It’s been more than ten years in a flash, life flies so fast. By the way, you Who is that kid surnamed Xiao?"

Ding Xu only vaguely heard Zhong Jie talk about the Fu family's affairs, but he couldn't explain clearly. He only said to let him play more with the Fu family brothers. Talking to Fu Dongli for a few words, I didn't expect to hear about the childhood of the Fu brothers when I came to the capital this time, which was quite new for a while.When Mr. Ding asked him about Xiao Liangwen, he didn't hide anything, and said, "He's pretty good. He's one year younger than me. He doesn't go to school now, and his family's conditions aren't very good." After thinking about it, he said, "He Parents died."

Old man Ding was kind-hearted, and when he heard his grandson say this, he also said: "If he is a good boy, our family can also support him. Your sister-in-law works in the Education Bureau, and you can still find many schools that can let him enter the exam. If you are considerate Good job, your Grandpa Bai can also introduce a few avenues, I remember that there are a few non-staffed teams, and the extra income is also possible..."

Ding Xu knew what the Bai family was capable of, so his heart was moved, and he said, "I'll go back and ask him, I'm going to trouble Grandpa."

Old Ding patted his head with a smile, and said, "What's the trouble, you kid, you're just being too polite!"

The grandpa and grandson walked home, Ding Xu was still carrying a bag of fruit in his hand, dangling happily.

Elder Ding held his hand, sighed, and said, "Ding Xu, grandpa will be leaving before and after the Chinese New Year, and he may have to change to another place. Do you want to stay or go with grandpa?" It seemed that he was afraid of him Worried, then comforted, "If you stay, grandpa will ask someone to keep your student status here, but maybe you have to live on campus, and you can go to your aunt's house in turn on Saturdays and Sundays..."

After Mr. Ding retired to the second line, he went to L City to take up a leisurely position, which was regarded as a pension.The old man was able to ask Ding Xu for advice in advance at this time, obviously because he cared about Ding Xu's feelings.

Ding Xu wanted to be by the old man's side from the very beginning, and Xiao Liangwen also mentioned City L on the phone before, so he naturally had no second choice, saying, "I want to go with Grandpa."

Ding Lao said: "You have to think about it, I know you are a child who loves to study, and going to the school with me over there is not as good as here."

Ding Xu said: "My mother asked me to follow you..."

Hearing this, Mr. Ding couldn't help sighing. He also knew what his daughter-in-law was thinking. He also saw the attitude of the two daughters at home towards Ding Xu. If it wasn't like this, he wouldn't have asked Ding Xu. Do you want to go with him?For such a child, he couldn't bear to change environments one after another.

Ding Xu was quite calm, and said calmly, "And don't worry, I can pass the exam anywhere."

Mr. Ding looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled, and said: "Okay, okay, your temper is a bit like mine, you are also a big boy, I also believe that you can pass the exam, then you clean up and go with grandpa at the end of the year." Let's go. It's just that it may take a while to transfer to another school, I still want to hire a tutor for you to make up lessons!"

Ding Xu didn't refuse, and thanked Mr. Ding. This was a little affection from the elders to his grandson. As long as he sincerely thanked him, it was the greatest respect for the old man.

During the last period of his stay in Beijing, Ding Xu became even busier. In addition to making up lessons, he also chose a small language for himself and studied with him.The make-up teacher liked him very much and was very careful. He noticed that Ding Xu's eyesight had deteriorated and suggested that he get a pair of glasses to wear.

Ding Xu's skin is fair, his eyebrows and eyes look more handsome, and his thin metal-framed glasses are on the bridge of his nose. He looks refined and has a bit of an adult image.It's just that he still doesn't like to joke, and when he sat there, his slightly raised eyebrows were even more indifferent.

As soon as winter came, Mr. Ding's transfer order came down, and he rushed to L City a year ago.

The author has something to say:

Bai Ding Hao: Ding Xu, don't be like this, I've changed for the better.

Ding Xu: ...

Bai Dinghao: Really, I am a vegetarian now!

Ding Xu: Then you leave that fish tank.

Bai Dinghao: ...I don't.
