Gu Pei reborn

Gu's mother went back to her hometown, and Gu's father also went to work on the construction site. Gu Pei was the only one in the family. I thought that there should be no major problems for me who was used to being alone in my previous life, but when I got to this situation, Gu Pei still felt a little at a loss.

Although the small room was full of debris, every time Gu Pei stayed in the room and looked at the dust flying around, he felt a sense of panic.

When the second person finally came to this small house, it was already the beginning of May.When Gu Pei came home that afternoon, he saw Chen Yan standing in front of his house.It seemed to be back to the days when I first met him. At this time, Chen Yan was also skinny, standing in the dark corridor, a small one, looking a bit miserable.

Gu Pei had guessed in his heart that his mother might have passed away, but he didn't know how to speak, so he walked up to pat his head without saying a word, opened the door and dragged him into the room.Then I started to work on today's dinner.When Gu Pei cooked the rice, put it on the table, and stuffed the chopsticks into Chen Yan's hands, Chen Yan rolled his eyes twice, then looked at Gu Pei and burst into tears with a "wow".Seeing him crying, Gu Pei was relieved, afraid that something might go wrong with him holding back.

The child really cried loudly this time, lying in Gu Pei's arms, as if he wanted to vent all his pain.After a while, Gu Pei felt that his clothes were wet a lot.

When the child was tired from crying, it was already half an hour later, the food on the table was already cold, and Chen Yan was still sobbing in Gu Pei's arms.A few minutes later, Gu Pei patted Chen Yan on the back and said, "Let's eat."

"...Hi...Okay, hiccup, hiccup..." Chen Yan got out of Gu Pei's arms, and obediently took the chopsticks from Gu Pei's hand, but the sound of sobbing couldn't be stopped. Shaking, looking at Gu Pei's heartache, the two finished their meal, and Gu Pei took Chen Yan's bowl and chopsticks and started feeding him.

Face to face with Chen Yan, Gu Peicai found that the child's whole face was red now, and there were teardrops hanging on the long eyelashes. Whenever he sobbed, the teardrops trembled. If it wasn't for Chen Yan sniffling his nose from time to time, Gu Pei I think this little face is really beautiful.

After feeding, Gu Pei was about to wash the dishes, but Chen Yan grabbed Gu Pei's clothes and refused to let go. Gu Pei had no choice but to put down the bowl, took Chen Yan's hand to the bathroom to wash his face, but in the aisle, Gu Pei found that The neighbor's aunt kept looking at him and Chen Yan, not thinking about it, it must be because Chen Yan cried too loudly just now.Maybe this aunt is still wondering if she is a bully.

As long as Gu Pei doesn't leave Chen Yan alone, the rest of the children are quite obedient, and Gu Pei will obediently stay still while washing his face and feet.

When sleeping at night, Gu Pei saw that he was still in a daze, so she sighed and hugged him to bed and began to undress Chen Yan, but just halfway through, Chen Yan broke away suddenly, and then looked up defensively After seeing that it was Gu Pei, he breathed a sigh of relief and called "Brother Gu Pei", which was the first sentence he said today.

Gu Pei wasn't annoyed when he pulled him away, but seeing him come back to his senses, he said, "It's time to sleep, take off your clothes."

"Yeah." Chen Yan nodded, jumped out of the bed naked, and then took out a red and wrinkled passbook from the inner pocket of his clothes and handed it to Gu Pei, "...this is what my mother gave me. It’s for me to study.” He didn’t say anything about his mother’s death, because firstly, he couldn’t say it, and secondly, he thought that Brother Gu Pei must have known about it.

Gu Pei didn't pay attention to his expression. Seeing Gu Pei generously showing the passbook to himself, he was a little at a loss. After a long time, he said: "Then you keep it."

"Brother Gu Pei put it away for me."

"Your mother said that?" Gu Pei stared at Chen Yan and asked.

Chen Yan lowered his head, then immediately raised his head and looked at Gu Pei stubbornly: "I'm still young, brother Gu Pei will keep it for me." Although his mother told him to hide the passbook so that no one else could see it, he believed in brother Gu Pei.In the past six months, he has always remembered Gu Pei's brother's kindness to him. He is a child, but he can still distinguish a person's sincerity from lies.And, mom, even though mom didn't let me give the passbook to brother Gu Pei in the end, he could tell from her words that she actually trusted him.

Looking at Chen Yan's stubborn appearance, Gu Pei felt a little complicated in his heart, but he was still a little happy himself, after all, he was trusted by others.But next?He hesitated.

"I'm afraid I'll lose it." Chen Yan continued, and then stuffed the passbook into Gu Pei's hand.

Looking at the passbook in his hand, Gu Pei felt uncomfortable.If he really left this with Chen Yan, to be honest, he was quite worried, not because he was worried about losing it, but Chen Yan is a child who is used to hardship, if you give him a sum of money at once, maybe he will use it indiscriminately, just keep it. After writing this passbook, he always has the feeling that this child will be raised by himself in the future.After being silent for a while, Gu Pei still took the passbook with a sigh in his heart. Even if Chen Yan didn't accept the passbook, he would have to worry about him.

Seeing that Gu Pei accepted the passbook, Chen Yan's red eyes also showed a little smile.The smiling face was finally alive.

"Since the money is in my custody, it can't be used indiscriminately. I will record all the expenses, and you should take care of yourself. Don't say that I took your money in the future." Gu Pei thought for a while, or Said.In fact, it has never been easy to keep money. Chen Yan believes in himself now, and in two years, he might say that he took his money, so it is better to say ugly words first.

"Yeah." Chen Yan nodded, he knew that as long as it was about money, troubles would be inevitable, coupled with Gu Pei's serious expression, he also suppressed the slight sense of grievance after hearing this.Seeing that Gu Pei had put away his passbook, he remembered that there were still people in the family, so he looked at Gu Pei with some trepidation and asked, "Is Auntie not here today?" .

Gu Pei paused, he hadn't asked about his mother's situation for a long time, and he had money to make phone calls, but at his hometown, he had to go to the village to make a phone call.

"Brother Gu Pei?"

"My mother has returned to my hometown." Gu Pei came back to God and said, "Today there are only two of us at home."

"En." Hearing what Gu Pei said, Chen Yan was obviously relieved. After his mother left, he was in a trance all the time. After the people around him helped to bury his mother, he only felt sad. Went to Gu Pei's elder brother's house... It's just that his mother kept telling him about the passbook before leaving, so Gu Pei helped him undress, and he really woke up.

"Don't think about it, get a good night's sleep first." Gu Pei patted his head and said.

"Brother Gu Pei, can you sleep with me?" Chen Yan asked subconsciously when he heard Gu Pei let him sleep.

"Huh? Good." Gu Pei was taken aback for a moment, but when he saw Chen Yanhong's worried eyes, his heart softened.

After getting into the big bed where his parents slept, just as Gu Pei took off his clothes and fell asleep, Chen Yan suddenly got into his arms, his thin arms tightly hugging Gu Pei's waist.Feeling the warm body in his arms, Gu Pei froze subconsciously, and then slowly relaxed.In his memory, he had never been so close to anyone before.What's more, the child Chen Yan had only a pair of underwear left. Although he was wearing some underwear, he was still a little awkward, but thinking of his haggard appearance, he couldn't bear to push him away.It's just that there is an extra lump in Gu Pei's arms, but he can't fall asleep no matter what.

And Chen Yan seemed to be extremely tired, and soon his breathing calmed down, as if he had fallen asleep.Gu Pei called out twice, but seeing that he didn't respond, she wanted to push him away, but the child hugged him tightly, and when he moved, the child made uncomfortable noises.So I had no choice but to let it go, and fell asleep slowly without knowing it.

When he got up the next day, Chen Yan's hand was loosened a lot, and he slowly opened his hand. Gu Pei got up to tidy up. He still has to go to class today. A note will do.Thinking about it, he also needs to think about it by himself.

Going home for lunch at noon, Chen Yan was cleaning. Seeing Gu Pei coming back, he was at a loss: "I forgot the time, and I haven't cooked yet."

Um?Gu Pei was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the kid still wanted to cook for himself.But "I usually cook noodles at noon, just wash two cabbage leaves."

"Well, then I'll wash it." After Chen Yan finished speaking, he put the rag on the window sill and went to wash the vegetables.

Gu Pei didn't stop him, and found something for him to do so that he wouldn't think too much.After Chen Yan went out, Gu Pei looked around the room.They were neatly folded in their lifetime, and the desks and cabinets were also wiped, but this place——Gu Pei frowned and looked at the black footprints left by him—was procrastinating in vain.

It seems that he is recovering well, so let's have a good talk with him at noon today.Yesterday he looked at the passbook left by Chen's mother. It was more than 4 yuan. To be honest, this money can only last until Chen Yan graduates from junior high school.Then in the future winter and summer vacations, it is inevitable to make money. Although Chen Yan has been doing this since he was a child, after studying and having friends and classmates, will he feel ashamed and not do it?There is also Chen Yan's house, his mother has gone, he is not worried about letting Chen Yan live there alone.Recently, Chen Yan can live with him first, but when his mother comes back, he needs to find another house for him, which is another sum of money.

"Brother Gu Pei?" Chen Yan frowned when he came back after washing the cabbage and saw Gu Pei sitting there in a daze. He guessed that Gu Pei must be worrying about his affairs.He just wanted to let himself leave brother Gu Pei, but he couldn't do it. After finally finding someone who cared about him, he didn't want to let go easily.

"Huh? Finished washing?"

"Yeah." Chen Yan nodded, seeing that Gu Pei hadn't boiled the water yet, he paused, then scooped water from the bucket and boiled it, then fell silent.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room was a little dull.

After thinking about it, Gu Pei still asked, "What are your future plans?"

Chen Yan shook his head.He really didn't know what to do. His mother told him to let him study, but children his age were already in the fifth and sixth grades. Although Gu Pei's brother taught him a little, his current level was only around the third grade.Continue to sell newspapers and pick up trash?He doesn't want to do this.Brother Gu Pei's grades are number one. If he continues like this, brother Gu Pei will get farther and farther away from him, and one day he will despise him.

A few days ago, he was in a daze, but when he thought about these things, he felt a little panicked. Although his mother liked to beat and scold him before, she always had a home and someone told him what to do. But now, he has nothing. There is brother Gu Pei, but he knows that brother Gu Pei has nothing to do with him. Subconsciously, he is worried that Gu Pei will abandon him one day.Thinking about it, his eyes turned red again.

The author has something to say: When Chen Yan was sobbing, he couldn't think of that onomatopoeia for a long time.At the beginning, I originally wrote "... um... ok, um, um...", but when I read it, I found that it sounded like [beep beep]...

There is also the change of Chen Yan's feelings in this chapter, which always feels a little abrupt. How can I break away from the sadness of my mother's death? I thought about it for a long time, but I felt that I couldn't write it well, so I had to do it like this...

Then, leave a message and reply tomorrow.
