My Xiangshan

"Do you have to tell me so clearly?" Gu Xi asked him in a deep voice, with a sense of grievance in his nostrils.

Xiangshan shook his head:

"There should be a clear distinction between public and private, but I still want to thank you."

"You treat my house as a hotel, and the meals I cook for you are takeaways." Gu Xi laughed at himself, before Xiang Shan could answer, he said, "I'm leaving first, I'll keep delivering the food, if you don't want it, just throw it away. "

Xiangshan had nothing to say, and didn't look back at Gu Xi until he was far away.

Gu Xi went to Xiangshan's mother's nursing home in the afternoon. He had walked this mountain road before, but now it seems really strange.

He didn't know how Xiangshan explained to the old man his 6-year blank time. Li's mother needed to recuperate because of her illness, so she couldn't be stimulated. Obviously Xiangshan would not say that he spent those 6 years in prison.

Gu Xi closed his eyes, leaned his head on the seat and rested quietly.

This section of the mountain road is inaccessible, and it seems that there is always no end.

Gu Xi suddenly opened his eyes and asked the people around him:

"Has he had much in the past two years?"

"Except for those six years, I came here almost every month, sometimes every half a month, very frequently."

Gu Xi nodded, took out a cigarette a little irritably, lit it, and took a deep puff.

"Don't worry, sir. We are very careful and won't let him find out. The old lady has been well taken care of in the past few years and she is in a good state of mind." The only regret is that the son is not around.

Mother Li treated Gu Xi well back then, and his relationship with Xiangshan was not broken, so the old man always treated him like a half-son.After the accident in Xiangshan, the trustee sold the valuables at home to maintain the expenses of the mother in the nursing home.But the entrustment is not human, the things are sold, but the money goes into other people's pockets.In those few years, Gu Xi secretly supported her and provided her with the best medical facilities. Although he didn't want to see Xiangshan again, he was not ambiguous about Li's mother.

"Sir, here we are..."

Only then did Gu Xi come back to his senses, let out a "hmm" and stopped talking.

After walking around in the small garden of the nursing home, she sat down when she saw Li's mother walking towards her.

The old man has gray hair and is no longer what he was 8 years ago.Maybe it was because she wondered who else would come to see her besides her son, so she asked the nurse around her and looked up here.

Finally walking in front of Gu Xi, she froze for a moment, shook her head, and said to the nurse first:

"I do not know him."

Probably feeling impolite, Mother Li showed an awkward smile to Gu Xi:

"Young man, you look for me"

Gu Xi stood up from the bench, he suddenly didn't know how to speak, and it took him a long time to read in a low voice: "Auntie...you don't remember me"

Mother Li looked up and down several times, thought for a long time before hesitating:

"You are...Little Gu"

Gu Xi nodded vigorously:

"It's me, I'll come and see you."

The two sat down in silence, Gu Xi thought of many things, but at this moment, he couldn't say anything.

These years, he has automatically faded out of Xiangshan's life, and it is really difficult to turn back.

"Look at my memory, as I get older, it becomes less and less useful, Xiao Gu, don't laugh at me."

Gu Xi felt sad. Although the old lady was once so ill that she couldn't recognize him, she was as familiar with him as her own son, and had no birthright.

He has been away from Xiangshan's life circle for too long, and everyone is involuntarily moving away from him.

Gu Xi smiled:

"Auntie, how are you doing?"

Mama Li nodded:

"Very well, since Xiangshan came back from abroad, I feel a lot more at ease. Although further study is a good thing, but it is always abroad, so there is no better home."

Gu Xi narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively:

"Go Abroad"

Mother Li sighed:

"For six full years, I know that academic research is his life, but this is really too long." After speaking, he glanced at Gu Xi again: "Little Gu, if possible, take care of... take care of Xiangshan. He is almost 40 I'm [-] years old, and there is no sign of my partner yet, I don't think about it anymore, I just hope that he will live well by himself."

Gu Xi knew that Xiangshan must have described those years as going abroad for further studies, so he reassured the old man.

Mother Li thought of her son, and all kinds of feelings came to her heart:

"The last time he came over, the clothes were more than ten years ago, I recognize them." The old lady couldn't say any more, she knew that the relationship between Gu Xi and Xiangshan must not be the same as before, and at this point, she had already thrown away her face.She didn't know what the purpose of the other party's sudden visit was, but she subconsciously wanted to say a few words for Xiangshan, which was inevitable as a mother.

It was a mistake for Gu Xi to come here today. His psychological construction is not enough. Everything about Xiangshan that Mrs. Li told him made his whole body stiff and his heart sore and cramped.

"I know, I will take good care of him. In the past few years, I lost contact with him. Now, auntie, as long as he wants, you can all move here, okay?"

When Gu Xi came back from the nursing home, he was even more taciturn.

Xiangshan always ate in the cafeteria at noon, he had already told the chef in charge of Xiangshan's preferences, and told them to fill him up with food every time.

At night, when Xiangshan was not at the company, Gu Xi thought of such a way, and took it directly to his house when he was done.

When the car circled into Tongzilou in the afternoon, there were still people staring at him.This place is an old residential area, with a lot of messy people. There is a vocational high school nearby, and campus disputes are usually resolved in the alley in front of the building.Gu Xi saw several punks along the way, and his brows frowned even deeper.

After finally finding the hut that Xiangshan rented, the landlord next door was watching some kind of adult movie, and the volume was turned up loudly.Gu Xi imagined that if Xiangshan heard it, his face would turn red.

As soon as he stopped, Tiantian started yelling loudly in the room. After a long time, he poked his head out and lay his front paws on the railing. When he saw that it was Gu Xi, he raised his head and howled like a wolf.

The little guy probably thought that it was because of Gu Xi that he was scolded severely by Xiangshan last time, so this time he didn't pay any attention to him at all, and turned his head away after shouting enough.

Gu Xi patted its head:

"Little thing, why are you getting angry?"

Tian Tian raised his head to look at him, then rested his head lazily on his front paws, it was determined not to talk to Gu Xi anymore.His throat hurt from howling just now, Tian Tian swallowed and scratched his ears with his paws.

Gu Xi shook the big plastic bag in front of Tian Tian, ​​and the vegetables inside were fragrant.

The little guy couldn't stay still any longer, he tilted his head and struggled for a while, and in the end, in order not to make a mistake, he pushed the big plastic bag back with his head, preventing Gu Xi from hanging food around his neck like last time.

Gu Xi was confused by it, and finally put the food by the door with bad intentions, and a burst of aroma came into the room through the window, with his butt facing the door every day, with a purring sound like a kitten in his throat, so greedy that he drools .

When Xiangshan came back, seeing the big plastic bag at the door, he knew that Gu Xi must have been there.

Opening the door, Tiantian looked at him aggrievedly, walked over slowly and rubbed Xiangshan's calf with his head.

"Are you hungry?"

Xiangshan holds its two front paws in his hand:

"I'll scratch your back at night."

The plain and simple life of the past few years has made it impossible for Xiangshan to throw away any bowl of fresh and clean meals, let alone Gu Xi who has put so much effort into cooking them.After hesitating for a long time, Xiangshan finally brought the food into the house.

The dinner that Gu Xi carefully prepared for him was given to the old man downstairs who lived alone, and he only kept the daily portion of bibimbap.But the little guy was completely awkward today, and he was unwilling to touch the tempting dinner in the basin.

Xiangshan deliberately teased it, wanted to take the basin away, and said to himself:

"Xiao Hei downstairs is so thin, and no one cares about the food."

Immediately, Ai Ai came over every day, hummed twice and blocked the door, preventing Xiangshan from leaving.

Xiangshan patted the little guy's head to watch it eat:

"You need to eat more, you've lost weight recently. We'll take care of the matter between me and him." The last sentence Xiangshan said was for himself. Get tall.

The next day, when I went to work in the company, I saw that Gu Xi was just saying hello, and didn't mention him delivering dinner.

Xiangshan couldn't stop him, so he could only let him go.

Today, Xiangshan first went to a nearby branch factory for on-the-spot inspections, randomly inspected the products, and then recorded them.In the afternoon, I held a meeting with several senior engineers to discuss the design process. I was busy until I was about to leave work. I just took a sip of water when I returned to the laboratory, when I received a call from Gu Xi: "Come to my office, I will wait for you." you."

Xiangshan looked at his watch:

"It's time to get off work soon, can we talk about it tomorrow?"

Gu Xi laughed softly on the other end of the phone:

"Are you afraid that I will drain your surplus value? Come here, there are so many people in the company, I won't do anything to you."

Xiangshan thought for a while, packed up the laboratory, and passed by alone.

"Come and sit." Gu Xi looked up from the company's pile of financial statements, and beckoned Xiang Shan to sit opposite him.

"You should be able to see that I have put a lot of effort into machinery recently. Now the development momentum of heavy industry is very good, and there are many opportunities and challenges. It is time to treat it as the core project of our company."

Hearing that Gu Xi deliberately emphasized "we", Xiangshan responded:

"Your company's heavy industry development is very mature, and this plan is very feasible."

Gu Xi leaned forward, staring at Xiangshan like a wolf:

"Li Xiangshan, do you have to be so clear about where you work, you have to put all your enthusiasm into it! You seem to want to leave with all your heart, do you still want to make the same mistakes as before?"

Xiang Shan pursed his lips and stopped talking.In fact, Gu Xi couldn't say a single harsh word to him. Every time he said a word, and seeing Xiangshan's silent expression, his heart would sink and become soft for him, and he wanted to hold him in his arms and not let go.

"Okay, let's stop here. If you don't want to move to my house, you can make do with the company dormitory first. In short, don't live in that place anymore. It's annoying to watch." Back then, Gu Xi said Xiangshan He couldn't apply for a staff dormitory, of course it was just an excuse to keep him. In the current situation, he would not live in an apartment, let alone a villa.

"No need, I've been moving recently. It took me a while to get used to it, and I'll get better. Besides, I've lived in a dormitory, and I'll have to move out again sooner or later. I won't get used to it every day." Xiangshan didn't plan to stay with Gu Xi for a long time. , he confessed to Gu Xi early in the morning.

"If there is nothing else, I'll leave first." Xiang Shan just turned around when Gu Xi stopped him.

"Wait, the teacher is about to celebrate his [-]th birthday. You haven't seen him in the past few years. Come with me this time. The old man misses you very much and mentions you every time we meet."
